Expected goals under a Bayesian viewpoint: uncertainty quantification and online learning
Authors: Nipoti Bernardo , Schiavon Lorenzo 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
While the use of expected goals (xG) as a metric for assessing soccer performance is increasingly prevalent, the uncertainty associated with their estimates is often overlooked. This work bridges this gap by providing easy-to-implement methods for uncertainty quantification in xG estimates derived from Bayesian models. Based on a convenient posterior approximation, we devise an online prior-to-posterior update scheme, aligning with the typical in-season model training in soccer. Additionally, we present a novel framework to assess and compare the performance dynamics of two teams during a match, while accounting for evolving match scores. Our approach is well-suited for graphical representation and improves interpretability. We validate the accuracy of our methods through simulations, and provide a real-world illustration using data from the Italian Serie A league.

Real word outcomes of cabozantinib therapy in poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma
Authors: Elghawy Omar , Barsouk Adam , Xu Jessica , Chen Simon , Cohen Roger B , Sun Lova 
Published: November 2024

Objective
Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas (PDTCs) are rare and aggressive head and neck malignancies with a poor prognosis. Systemic treatment for incurable PDTC consists of multi-kinase inhibitors (MKIs) based on extrapolation from the experience with radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Cabozantinib is an approved second-line MKI therapy for DTC, but there are limited data regarding the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib for PDTC.

Methods
We conducted a single-institution, retrospective analysis of patients with PDTC who received cabozantinib in any line of therapy. Baseline demographics, disease characteristics, treatment history, toxicity, and clinical outcomes were abstracted from the electronic medical record. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were primary endpoints and estimated using Kaplan–Meier methodology.

Results
Seven patients with PDTC who received cabozantinib were included. 4/7 (57%) patients had a partial response to cabozantinib, while 2/7 (29%) had stable disease (SD) as their best response. The median time on treatment for cabozantinib was 10.53 months. The median PFS from the start of cabozantinib was 12.9 months, and median OS was 14.21 months. Most adverse events to treatment (5/6) were low grade. Two (29%) patients were alive at the date of the last follow-up.

Conclusion
Cabozantinib is an effective and reasonably well-tolerated treatment option for patients with PDTC. Prospective studies are needed to further investigate the role of cabozantinib in the treatment of PDTC, alone and in combination with other agents, including checkpoint inhibitors.

Mothers Falling Asleep During Infant Feeding
Authors: Hauck Fern R. , Moon Rachel Y. , Kerr Stephen M. , Corwin Michael J. , Heeren Timothy , Colson Eve , Parker Margaret G. , Kellams Ann 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Falling asleep while feeding (FAF) infants is common. Our primary objectives were to examine (1) maternally reported prevalence of FAF and if planned; (2) association between FAF and sociodemographic factors, feeding method, and sleep location; and (3) if receipt of education about safe sleep and bedsharing risks was associated with FAF.

METHODS
In the Social Media and Risk-reduction Training study, US mothers of newborns were randomized to educational messaging promoting infant safe sleep or breastfeeding. We analyzed data from 1259 mothers who responded to the postpartum survey (mean infant age, 11.2 weeks). We used generalized estimating equation logistic regression models to examine the extent that sociodemographic characteristics, feeding type, usual nighttime feeding location, and intervention group were associated with FAF.

RESULTS
A total of 28.2% of mothers reported FAF usually or sometimes in the last 2 weeks, 83.4% of whom reported that FAF was unplanned. There were no differences in the odds of FAF by sociodemographic factors. Compared with mothers whose nighttime feeding location was their bed, mothers who reported feeding in a chair were less likely to FAF (33.6% versus 16.8%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.41; 95% confidence interval, 0.31–0.56). FAF was reported less frequently by mothers who received safe sleep interventions (15.6%), compared with mothers who received breastfeeding interventions (33.0%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.40; 95% confidence interval, 0.25–0.65).

CONCLUSIONS
FAF is reported commonly among US mothers and is predominantly unplanned. Mothers who received safe sleep messaging were less likely to report FAF. New parents need guidance on planning for optimal safety during infant feeding.
Improving Consistency in Classifying Child Maltreatment for Sudden Unexpected Infant Deaths
Authors: Schnitzer Patricia G. , Mintz Sasha , Shaw Esther , Collier Abigael 
Published: November 2024

OBJECTIVE
Develop guidelines for child death review teams that will improve the consistency in classifying child maltreatment (CM) and distinguish between classification of exposure to hazards and neglect for sleep-related sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID).

METHODS
Sleep-related SUID (n = 25 797) were identified from the National Fatality Review-Case Reporting System between 2004 and 2018. Key variables considered when classifying CM among sleep-related SUID were identified. Logistic regression was used to assess the strength of associations and identify factors that distinguished between exposure to hazards and neglect. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Guidelines were developed based on these findings.

RESULTS
Among the 13 034 sleep-related SUID with CM identified, hazards in the infant sleep environment were strongly associated with classification of both exposure to hazards and neglect, as were supervisor impairment and child welfare substantiation of the death. Comparing neglect to exposure to hazards, there was no association with sleep environment hazards with ORs ranging from 0.8 to 1.3 (95% CI 0.4–3.0), but sleep-related SUID were approximately twice as likely to be classified as neglect when the supervisor was impaired (OR 2.3, 95% CI 2.0–2.7) or child welfare action was taken (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.5–2.0). The guidelines recommend classification of exposure to hazards for sleep environment hazards with elevation to neglect if the supervisor was impaired or child welfare substantiated the death.

CONCLUSIONS
Among sleep-related SUID, classification of exposure to hazards is based on presence of sleep environment hazards, whereas neglect is based on supervisor impairment and child welfare action.

The aim. Study of the characteristics of 20 % solutions of poloxamer 338 (P338) in water and mixed solvents water – propylene glycol (PG) at various temperatures using rotational viscometry and the spin probe method.
Materials and methods. 20 % m/m solutions of P338 in water and water – PG mixtures were the objects of research. The solutions were studied by rotational viscometry at 25 °С, 32 °С і 37 °С; the flow behaviour, low-yield stress (t0), hysteresis area (SN) and dynamic or apparent viscosity (η) were determined. Spin probes based on fatty acids, which differ in molecular structure, solubility, and radical localisation, were added to the solutions. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra was obtained to determine their type and parameters.
Results. Depending on the content, PG affects the rheological properties of 20 % P338 solution. The ability of this solution to undergo thermally induced sol-gel transitions, resulting in the formation of gels with plastic flow behaviour at temperatures of 32 °C and 37 °C, is maintained at PG content of up to 20 %. At 37 °C and a 30 % PG content, an atypical thixotropic gel is formed. The rheological characteristics of gels containing 10-20 % PG at 32 °C and 37 °C are higher than those of gels without PG. The increase in the PG concentration from 0 to 40 % generally has little effect on the rotational correlation times (τ) and values of the order parameter (S) of the spin probes. In the case of the ammonium salt of 5-doxylstearic acid (5-DSA NH4 salt), the anisotropic EPR spectra at a PG concentration of 40 % undergoes a transformation, becoming a triplet. This coincides with the loss of the ability of 20 % P338 solutions to thermally induced sol ↔ gel transitions. An increase in the concentration of PG (in contrast to ethanol) does not lead to the solvation of P338 micelle cores by the dispersion medium. The transformation of the EPR spectrum of the 5-DSA NH4 salt into a triplet is probably the result of the interaction between PG and the hydrophilic shell of micelles through the formation of hydrogen bonds.
Conclusions. The rheological properties of 20 % P338 solution are affected by the PG, depending on its content. The P338 solutions can undergo a thermally induced sol ↔ gel transition, provided that the PG content does not exceed 30 %. A correlation has been identified between alterations in the rheological properties of 20 % P338 solution and the corresponding change in the types of EPR spectra observed for the 5-DSA NH4 salt, namely a transition from anisotropic spectra to triplet. As the PG content in the P338 solution increases up to 40 %, the solvation of micelle cores by the dispersion medium does not occur. It may be posited that the alteration in the structure of P338 micelles is a consequence of the interaction between PG and their hydrophilic shell
Ifosfamide-Induced Encephalopathy in Relapsed Lymphoma: Report of Two Cases
Authors: Takaryanto Davin , Harti Gusti Fungani , Oehadian Amaylia 
Published: November 2024

Objective: Ifosfamide is a chemotherapeutic drug available for various malignancy, including lymphoma. Ifosfamide has adverse effects including myelosuppression, nephrotoxicity, hemorrhagic cystitis, and neurotoxicity. Encephalopathy is a severe manifestation of neurotoxicity due to ifosfamide, with an incidence of 10-40%. This study aimed to report two cases of ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy. Case: This case studies reported two relapsed lymphoma patients with almost similar characteristics who received ifosfamide chemotherapy. The first case of 48-year-old woman with relapsed High-Grade B-cell lymphoma stage IIIBE while the second case of 38-year-old woman with relapsed non-hodgkin lymphoma.Results: The first case showed a good outcome with improvement in consciousness 48 hours after stopping ifosfamide and thiamine, while the second case experienced tumor lysis syndrome, leading to the death of the patient.Conclusion: Mechanism of ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy remains unclear, with the hypothesis from the neurotoxic effects of the resultant metabolite chloracetyldehide. Radiology examination of the brain and electroencephalography is required to rule out other differential diagnoses. Early recognition of adverse effects, followed by immediate discontinuation of ifosfamide, administration of therapy, such as methylene blue and/or thiamine, and supportive treatment usually produced good outcomes.

Authors: Ghosh Arindam , Dasgupta Debdeep , Biswas Susumna 
Published: November 2024

Objective: To estimate prevalence and type of thyroid function abnormalities and explore their associations with physical fatigue in first-year medical students.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study comprising of 200 first-year medical students. Demographic details and history of any significant medical illness was asked and noted. Thyroid function tests were conducted on all participants. The prevalence and type of thyroid function abnormalities were documented in all students, and the presence and severity of physical fatigue were assessed on the basis of physical fatigue score. Participants with any kind of thyroid function abnormality were compared with those with normal thyroid function tests for presence and severity of fatigue.Results: Among the 200 students, 144 (72%) were males and 56 (28%) were females, resulting in a male-to-female ratio of 1:0.38. Subclinical hypothyroidism was identified in 9% of students (18 cases), while clinical hypothyroidism was present in 7% (14 cases). Additionally, subclinical hyperthyroidism was detected in 1% of students (2 cases), with no cases of clinical hyperthyroidism reported. Female students were found to be having more thyroid function abnormalities as compared to male students and the difference was found to be statistically significant (p=0.0109). Students with abnormal thyroid function tests (34 cases) had a markedly higher mean FSS score (43.22±4.50) as compared to students with euthyroid (16.85±2.70).Conclusion: Subclinical thyroid abnormalities are prevalent among young individuals, particularly those with physical fatigue. This study revealed a significant link between presence of fatigue and the possibility of thyroid dysfunction.

Authors: Sean Martin Juliet Anitha , Annadurai Karthikeyan 
Published: November 2024

Objective: To study ultrasound findings of children with dengue and analyze the possible correlation between ultrasound findings and severity of dengue in children.Methods: This retrospective study, which was conducted over one year, analyzed 50 pediatric dengue patients. Ultrasound findings such as gallbladder wall edema, pleural effusion and ascites were assessed. Cases were categorized into dengue without warning signs, dengue with warning signs, and severe dengue according to the World Health Organization's classification of dengue. Correlation between ultrasound abnormalities, severity of dengue, and thrombocytopenia were analyses. A p-value of less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.Results: Of 50 pediatric patients diagnosed with dengue participated in this study, 72% were boys, and 28% were girls with a male-to-female ratio of 1:0.38. Fever was the most frequent symptom (100%), followed by nausea/vomiting (84%) and body ache/myalgia (78%). Ultrasound findings revealed that gallbladder wall edema (48%), pleural effusion (44%), and ascites (50%) were significantly associated with severe dengue and dengue with warning signs (p<0.001). Thrombocytopenia was documented in 58% of cases and correlated significantly with ultrasound abnormalities such as gallbladder wall edema, ascites, and pleural effusion (p=0.0017).Conclusion: Ultrasound findings, such as gallbladder wall edema, pleural effusion and ascites, are significantly associated with severe dengue and dengue with warning signs. These features aid in early identification of high-risk patients.

Authors: Al-Yasin Noor F. 
Published: November 2024

The present paper aims to study emojis used by male and female Jordanian university students in university-related Facebook group-posts. More specifically, it aims to reveal the pragmatic functions of emojis used by these students and to see whether they differ based on gender. The sample consists of 100 university-related Facebook group-posts collected from a Facebook group for Jordanian university students. The Facebook group is called Ask Petra University. The researcher collected 100 posts (50 posts by males and 50 posts by females). The data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The framework that this paper refers to is Yus’s (2014) taxonomy of pragmatic functions of emoticons. The study revealed that the most frequently used emojis by both males and females are the face with tears of joy , the broken heart and the red heart . Some of them were used for the same pragmatic function by both genders. However, the broken heart had different pragmatic functions. The study concludes with some future recommendations and pedagogical implication.

A anestesiologia veterinária tem ocupado posição de destaque, sendo considerada uma das especialidades que mais evoluíram na última década. O controle multimodal da dor é definido como uma combinação racional de diferentes fármacos analgésicos e/ou adjuvantes, com o objetivo de otimizar o controle da dor do paciente, reduzindo as doses dos fármacos e seus efeitos colaterais. A anestesia locorregional é uma das ferramentas da analgesia multimodal, e a correta determinação da localização dos nervos periféricos é seu principal desafio. O neuroestimulador (ou neurolocalizador), é um dispositivo capaz de auxiliar este processo, em que o disparo de uma corrente elétrica de características especiais, gera a despolarização dos nervos periféricos com consequente promoção de respostas motoras. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar o uso de neuroestimulador na anestesia locorregional do plexo braquial em osteossíntese de rádio e de ulna em um cão atendido no Centro Médico Veterinário da cidade de Varginha, Minas Gerais, Brasil. O estudo demonstrou que o neuroestimulador é uma ferramenta capaz de auxiliar o anestesiologista veterinário a exercer a anestesia locorregional com maior precisão, contribuindo para a realização de um procedimento mais seguro, com maior qualidade técnica e bem-estar para o paciente.

Abstract
Veterinary anesthesiology has occupied a prominent position, being considered one of the specialties that have evolved the most in the last decade. Multimodal pain control is defined as a rational combination of different analgesic and/or adjuvant drugs, aiming to optimize the patient's pain management, reducing the drug doses and their side effects. Locoregional anesthesia is one of the tools of multimodal analgesia, and the correct determination of the location of peripheral nerves is its main challenge. The neurostimulator (or neurolocator) is a device capable of assisting this process, where the firing of an electric current of special characteristics generates the depolarization of the peripheral nerves with consequent promotion of motor responses. The objective of the present study was to report the use of a neurostimulator in locoregional brachial plexus anesthesia in a radius and ulna osteosynthesis in a dog treated at the Veterinary Medical Center in the city of Varginha, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study demonstrated that the neurostimulator is a tool capable of helping the veterinary anesthesiologist to perform locoregional anesthesia with greater precision, thus contributing to the performance of a safer procedure, with higher technical quality and well-being for the patient.
