A wearable circulator‐like circularly polarised antenna for full‐duplex wireless body area network applications
Authors: Thakur Ajeet , Sharma Ashwani , Zuazola Ignacio J. Garcia 
Published: September 2024

AbstractA circulator‐like high gain, unidirectional, dual circularly polarised (DCP) wearable antenna with a low specific absorption rate of 0.088 W/kg for 5.8 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band ( GHz) full‐duplex wireless body area network (WBAN) applications is proposed. The DCP full‐duplexing is achieved by a closed‐loop feedback structure between its orthogonal‐ports with enhanced axial ratio (AR) bandwidth and good impedance matching. The antenna is backed with a electromagnetic bandgap array that allows for improved directionality, AR and isolation between the ports. The cross‐polarisation level above 17 dB is attained in the broadside direction, in both the E‐plane and the H‐plane, indicating good polarisation discrimination. Since the total power at each respective port is maintained and not halved ( dB) with the measured port isolation of dB in real scenarios (with the potential evidence of dB) within the ISM band, that leads to a circulator‐like antenna, meaning that a typically cascaded circulator/duplexer can be relieved and leave to the digital processing any self‐interference challenge of full duplex systems through digital cancelation techniques, which alleviates the overall costs of RF hardware and eases integration. Even though dual linear polarization as well as DCP can be supported, the closed‐loop feedback structure uses a port as Tx (RHCP) and the other one as Rx (LHCP) simultaneously with enhanced AR bandwidth. Without this structure, it would require a circulator/duplexer for DCP full‐duplex operation and the associated added insertion losses and/or power (if duplexers) for operation, together with a polarisation misalignment problem that is undesired in wearable WBAN applications.

Published: September 2024

AbstractSubstance addiction poses a significant public health challenge globally, with diverse treatment approaches continually under exploration. Homeopathy, a complementary medical system, has gained attention for its potential role in managing substance addiction. However, the existing literature on homeopathic interventions in this context remains scattered and heterogeneous. The primary objective of this scoping review is to systematically assess and map the existing literature on homeopathic interventions for various types of substance addiction to understand the extent and nature of available evidence in the management of substance addiction disorders and highlight gaps that warrant further investigation. A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, and Complementary and Alternative Medicine-specific databases, using a predefined search strategy for studies published until December 2023, with a focus on various substance addictions and homeopathic interventions. Data extraction and synthesis involved categorizing key themes and summarizing findings to provide a systematic presentation of the literature. A total of 17 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, resulting in a final sample of nine studies meeting predefined criteria. These studies, conducted between 1994 and 2021, varied in design, such as single-arm studies and randomized controlled trials. Key themes extracted from the studies included the types of substances addressed and homeopathic interventions employed. The synthesis revealed notable patterns and trends, including positive outcomes such as reductions in cravings and improvements in withdrawal symptoms across various substance addictions. The observed findings suggest a significant paucity and heterogeneity in the in the current state of evidence, thus highlighting, the need for more rigorous and standardized research in this field. This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of the current evidence on homoeopathic interventions for substance addiction.

Published: September 2024

AbstractEmerging evidence suggests that patients' behavioral health may influence outcomes after osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCAT). A comprehensive behavioral health program (BHP) including preoperative screening and education, and postoperative counseling and support, led by a health behavior psychologist was implemented for patients considering OCAT. We hypothesized that patients undergoing knee OCAT and enrolled in the BHP would have a significantly higher 2-year graft survival rate than those not enrolled. Prospectively collected data for patients undergoing knee OCAT enrolled in the lifelong outcomes registry were analyzed. Based on the timing of implementation of a comprehensive BHP to provide preoperative screening and education followed by postoperative counseling and support, BHP and no-BHP cohorts were compared. Treatment failure was defined as the need for either OCAT revision surgery or knee arthroplasty. The Kaplan–Meier method using log-rank tests compared cumulative survival rates. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to determine the effects of confounding variables on the influence of BHP enrollment on graft survival. A total of 301 patients were analyzed (no-BHP = 220 and BHP = 81). At 2-year follow-up, a significantly lower cumulative graft survival rate was observed for patients not enrolled in the BHP (68.2 vs. 91.4%; p = 0.00347). Adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, tobacco use, tibiofemoral bipolar OCAT type surgery, and nonadherence, patients not enrolled in the BHP were 2.8 times more likely to experience OCAT treatment failure by 2 years after primary OCAT compared with patients in the BHP (95% confidence interval, 1.02–4.98; p = 0.01). A comprehensive BHP contributes to significant improvements in 2-year graft survival rates following OCAT in the knee. Preoperative mental and behavioral health screening and support for shared decision-making regarding treatment options, in conjunction with patient and caregiver education and assistance through integrated health care team engagement, are beneficial to patients pursuing complex joint preservation surgeries. Level of evidence is 2, prospective cohort study.
Static neutral black holes in Kalb-Ramond gravity
Authors: Liu Wentao , Wu Di , Wang Jieci 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The Kalb-Ramond (KR) gravity theory, a modified gravity theory that nonminimally couples a KR field with a nonzero vacuum expectation value for the gravitational field, can spontaneously break the Lorentz symmetry of gravity. In a recent work, Yang et al. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.108.124004
Phys. Rev. D
108 (2023) 124004] successfully derived Schwarzschild-like black hole solutions both with and without a nonzero cosmological constant within the framework of KR gravity. However, their analysis did not address the more general case of static, neutral, spherically symmetric black holes. In this paper, we fill this gap by resolving the field equations to construct more general static, neutral, spherically symmetric black hole solutions both with and without a nonzero cosmological constant. Our black hole solutions are shown to obey the first law and the Bekenstein-Smarr mass formulas of black hole thermodynamics. Moreover, we demonstrate that our static neutral spherically symmetric AdS black hole does not always satisfy the reverse isoperimetric inequality (RII), as the isoperimetric ratio can be larger or smaller than unity depending on the placement of the solution parameters within the parameter space. This behavior contrasts with the above-mentioned Schwarzschild-like AdS black hole in the KR gravity theory, which always obeys the RII. Significantly, the present more general static, neutral, spherically symmetric AdS black hole is the first example of a static AdS black hole that can violate the RII.

Abstract
Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) is a novel detector
medium for particle physics experiments. Applications range from the
use as hybrid Cherenkov/scintillation target in low-energy and
accelerator neutrino experiments to large-volume neutron vetoes for
dark matter detectors. Here we present a WbLS based on well-known
components (the surfactant Triton-X, the fluor PPO and vitamin C for
long-term stability), with which a new recipe was developed and the
result subjected to a thorough characterization of its
properties. In addition, based on neutron scattering data we are
able to demonstrate that the pulse shape discrimination capabilities
of this particular LS are comparable to all-organic LAB based
scintillators.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Non-evaporable getter (NEG) films are extensively employed
in particle accelerators to attain and sustain ultra-high vacuum
(UHV) and extremely high vacuum (XHV) conditions. This study
primarily focused on studying the adsorption characteristics of the
main residual gas-H2 molecules in the vacuum system on the
Ti-Zr-V-Hf (110) NEG surface. To carry out this analysis, we
employed the first-principles Density Functional Theory (DFT). The
adsorption energies of 23 distinct adsorption sites, and
particularly the electronic structure of the adsorption sites with
the highest absolute adsorption energies (Zr, Ti-V, Hf-V, and
Ti-Hf-V), were analyzed by partial density of states (PDOS) and
Mulliken charge and bond overlap population calculations. The
results of our investigation revealed that the order of
effectiveness of adsorption sites is as follows:
bridge > hollow > top. Based on the adsorption energy results,
it can be inferred that there are strong chemical interactions
between H atoms and Ti-Zr-V-Hf (110) surface metal atoms at Zr,
Ti-V, Hf-V, and Ti-Hf-V adsorption sites. The results of PDOS
calculations also indicate that there is strong hybridization
between the H2 molecule and the Ti-Zr-V-Hf (110) surface at
each studied adsorption site, demonstrating the formation of strong
chemical bonds between them. The Mulliken charge and bond overlap
population and electron density difference analyses show significant
changes in charge distribution between H atoms and Ti-Zr-V-Hf (110)
surface metal atoms before and after H2 adsorption at each
studied adsorption site, suggesting the occurrence of
chemisorption. Additionally, covalent bonds are formed between H
atoms and Ti-Zr-V-Hf (110) surface metal atoms at these sites. This
study uncovered specific adsorption sites where the H2 molecule
interacts most efficiently on the Ti-Zr-V-Hf (110) surface and where
high-energy bonds are formed. These findings can provide a potential
pathway to improve the adsorption efficiency of quaternary
Ti-Zr-V-Hf NEG films.
Quandles as pre-Lie skew braces, set-theoretic Hopf algebras & universalR-matrices
Authors: Doikou Anastasia , Rybołowicz Bernard , Stefanelli Paola 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWe present connections between left non-degenerate solutions of the set-theoretic braid equation and left shelves using Drinfel’d homomorphisms. We generalize the notion of affine quandle, by using heap endomorphisms and metahomomorphisms, and identify the underlying Yang–Baxter algebra for solutions of the braid equation associated to a given quandle. We introduce the notion of the pre-Lie skew brace and identify certain affine quandles that give rise to pre-Lie skew braces. Generalisations of the braiding of a group, associated to set-theoretic solutions of the braid equation are also presented. These generalized structures encode part of the underlying Hopf algebra. We then introduce the quasi-triangular (quasi) Hopf algebras and universalR-matrices for rack and set-theoretic algebras. Generic set-theoretic solutions coming from heap endomorphisms are also identified.
Conclusion

Published: September 2024

Abstract
This concluding chapter summarizes the book’s findings and their implications for theory and practice in world politics. It returns to the generalizing ethos of the book by zooming out again from the Arab uprisings to show that the emotional and cognitive mechanisms are applicable across other cases of diffusion of revolt. It briefly refers to events in 1848 and discusses the failures of the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the Green Revolution of 2009 to diffuse as further evidence of the generalizability of the theory and its mechanisms. It concludes by briefly evaluating efforts by major powers to either prevent or aid the diffusion of revolt and argues that these interventions would likely be more effective if they were based on the theory that is proposed and tested in this book.

Authors: E Shuyu , Xu Jie , Wang Sa A , Tang Guilin , Jabbour Elias J , Li Shaoying , You M James , Medeiros L Jeffrey , Yin C Cameron 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objectives
The blasts in most cases of chronic myeloid leukemia blast phase (CML-BP) have a myeloid or precursor-B immunophenotype, with only a small subset having T-cell or natural killer–cell lineage. Patients with CML-BP having early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL) are extremely rare.

Methods
We report the clinicopathologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular genetic features and outcome of 3 patients with CML-BP who had ETP-ALL, with a review of the literature.

Results
Only patient 1 had a history of chronic myeloid leukemia chronic phase. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed BCR::ABL1 rearrangement in cells with round nuclei (blasts) and cells with segmented nuclei (neutrophils) in cases 2 and 3, supporting a diagnosis of CML-BP rather than de novo Ph+ ETP-ALL. The blasts were positive for cytoplasmic CD3, CD7, CD33, and CD117; were negative for CD1a and CD8; and had dim CD5 expression in 2 cases. Next-generation sequencing showed a TET2 mutation in case 1 and BCOR, RUNX1, and STAG2 mutations in case 3. All patients received chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients 2 and 3 died 33 days and 39 days, respectively, after diagnosis. Patient 1 received stem cell transplantation and was alive 14 months after blast phase.

Conclusions
Patients with CML-BP may have ETP-ALL. These patients usually have an aggressive clinical course, requiring intensive therapy, and may benefit from stem cell transplantation.
Human microbiome: Impact of newly approved treatments on C. difficile infection
Authors: Bland Christopher M , Love Bryan L , Jones Bruce M 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Purpose
The primary purposes of this review are to provide a brief overview of the microbiome, discuss the most relevant outcome data and key characteristics of each live microbiome agent, and pose questions for consideration going forward as these agents are integrated into clinical practice.

Summary
The management of Clostridiodes difficile infection (CDI) remains a difficult clinical conundrum, with recurrent CDI occurring in 15% to 35% of patients and causing significant morbidity and decreased quality of life. For patients with frequent CDI recurrences, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been demonstrated to have significant benefit but also significant risks, and FMT is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for that indication. FDA has established a new therapeutic class for agents known as live biotherapeutic products (LBPs) that offer significant advantages over FMT, including standardized screening, testing, and manufacturing as well as known quantities of organisms contained within. Two new live microbiome products within this class were recently approved by FDA for prevention of CDI recurrences in adult patients following treatment for recurrent CDI with standard antimicrobial therapy. Both agents had demonstrated efficacy in registry trials in preventing CDI recurrence but differ significantly in a number of characteristics, such as route of administration. Cost as well as logistics are current obstacles to use of these therapies.

Conclusion
Live microbiome therapy is a promising solution for patients with recurrent CDI. Future studies should provide further evidence within yet-to-be-evaluated populations not included in registry studies. This along with real-world evidence will inform future use and clinical guideline placement.
Exploring combination treatment options for persistent methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia
Authors: Al Shaikhli Hiba , Akins Ronda L , Stover Kayla R , Barber Katie E 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Purpose
This review explores the management of persistent methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB), emphasizing the importance of timely intervention due to SAB’s association with metastatic dissemination, relapse, and mortality.

Summary
The literature analysis first delves into risk factors for persistent SAB, highlighting the need for effective treatment strategies. The subsequent focus is on combination strategies for persistent SAB. Daptomycin, ertapenem, ceftaroline, fosfomycin, rifampin, and gentamicin are explored as adjuncts to cefazolin or antistaphylococcal penicillins. Daptomycin combination therapy is assessed through in vivo and clinical studies, indicating potential benefits, especially with higher-risk sources of infection. Ertapenem combination therapy has been demonstrated to have a synergistic effect with cefazolin, presenting a viable salvage option. Rifampin’s ability to penetrate biofilm is examined, with discussion of inconclusive evidence on mortality benefits. The review also considers stewardship implications, discussing concerns such as resistance emergence, adverse events, and increased costs associated with combination therapy. Mathematical models suggest combination therapy as an effective approach to prevent resistance. Adverse events vary with each combination, and duration of therapy remains diverse across studies in the absence of well-established dosing guidelines.

Conclusion
The review provides a thorough exploration of the literature on treatment of persistent SAB, underscoring the need for evidence-based guidelines, further studies, and clinical judgment in tailoring treatment strategies. The multifaceted analysis contributes valuable insights for clinicians managing this challenging condition.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
High-quality and accessible education is crucial for advancing neuropsychology. A recent study identified key barriers to board certification in clinical neuropsychology, such as time constraints and insufficient specialized knowledge. To address these challenges, this study explored the capabilities of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) language models, GPT-3.5 (free-version) and GPT-4.0 (under-subscription version), by evaluating their performance on 300 American Board of Professional Psychology in Clinical Neuropsychology-like questions. The results indicate that GPT-4.0 achieved a higher accuracy rate of 80.0% compared to GPT-3.5’s 65.7%. In the “Assessment” category, GPT-4.0 demonstrated a notable improvement with an accuracy rate of 73.4% compared to GPT-3.5’s 58.6% (p = 0.012).
The “Assessment” category, which comprised 128 questions and exhibited the highest error rate by both AI models, was analyzed. A thematic analysis of the 26 incorrectly answered questions revealed 8 main themes and 17 specific codes, highlighting significant gaps in areas such as “Neurodegenerative Diseases” and “Neuropsychological Testing and Interpretation.”
Beyond the Face: Double-Sided Renaissance Portraits and the Craft of Thought
Authors: Wijnands Clim 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This essay investigates how touching and handling Renaissance portraits could serve as a memory technique. It analyses three paintings that solicited physical interaction: Giovanni Bellini’s Portrait of Giovanni Andrea Probi (once the lid of a chest); and two double-sided panels, Previtali’s Portrait of a Man; and Boltraffio’s Portrait of Girolamo Casio. The notion that memory resided in a (physical or symbolic) place in the back of the head was widespread in sixteenth-century Italy, and the backsides of double-sided portraits can be identified with such memory spaces. By bringing the portraits into dialogue with sixteenth-century texts on memory and art theory, I argue that they reflect the idea that memory and painting were sister arts. Critically adding to Carruthers’s notion of the craft of thought, I interpret the beholder’s physical interaction with portraits as a technique for shaping thoughts, making associations and forging links between beholders and portraits through the moving body.
Federated unsupervised random forest for privacy-preserving patient stratification

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Motivation
In the realm of precision medicine, effective patient stratification and disease subtyping demand innovative methodologies tailored for multi-omics data. Clustering techniques applied to multi-omics data have become instrumental in identifying distinct subgroups of patients, enabling a finer-grained understanding of disease variability. Meanwhile, clinical datasets are often small and must be aggregated from multiple hospitals. Online data sharing, however, is seen as a significant challenge due to privacy concerns, potentially impeding big data’s role in medical advancements using machine learning. This work establishes a powerful framework for advancing precision medicine through unsupervised random forest-based clustering in combination with federated computing.

Results
We introduce a novel multi-omics clustering approach utilizing unsupervised random forests. The unsupervised nature of the random forest enables the determination of cluster-specific feature importance, unraveling key molecular contributors to distinct patient groups. Our methodology is designed for federated execution, a crucial aspect in the medical domain where privacy concerns are paramount. We have validated our approach on machine learning benchmark datasets as well as on cancer data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Our method is competitive with the state-of-the-art in terms of disease subtyping, but at the same time substantially improves the cluster interpretability. Experiments indicate that local clustering performance can be improved through federated computing.

Availability and implementation
The proposed methods are available as an R-package (https://github.com/pievos101/uRF)
