Hemorrhaging Uterine Fibroid Leading to Emergent Early Term Cesarean Delivery: A Case Report
Authors: Racchi Nicholas , Bird Lisa , Mullan Samantha , Schnettler William , Billock Nanci 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Background The incidence of uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids, affecting pregnant individuals is estimated to be 10%, but there are no guidelines or recommendations for fetal or maternal surveillance in pregnancies affected by them. Risks associated with fibroids during pregnancy include potential for pain, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, higher cesarean delivery rate, fetal malpresentation, placenta abruption, and postpartum hemorrhage.
Case Presentation This case describes a 26-year-old gravida 1 para 0 who presented at early term for severe abdominal pain and was found to have acute abdomen accompanied by a nonreassuring fetal heart rate tracing. With emergent cesarean delivery, it was found that the patient was hemorrhaging from a ruptured vessel of a pedunculated fibroid and myomectomy was subsequently performed.
Conclusion While rare, hemorrhage from a uterine fibroid should be considered a part of the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in pregnant patients with fibroids, particularly when accompanied by concurrent indicators such as free fluid, hypotension/tachycardia, or concerning changes in fetal heart rate, especially in a patient without risk factors for uterine rupture.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Background While prior studies have recommended immediate flap coverage within 72 hours of injury for soft tissue reconstruction for traumatic extremity injuries, recent evidence in the setting of advanced wound care techniques de-emphasizes the need for immediate coverage. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been an essential tool for extending the time to definitive soft tissue coverage. This study sought to elucidate the impact of preoperative NPWT use on the success of microsurgical reconstruction.
Methods A literature search was conducted using the following databases from their inception up to February 2023: PubMed, OVID databases (Embase and Cochrane Library), Web of Science, and Scopus. Of 801 identified articles, 648 were assessed and 24 were included. Cases were divided based on whether NPWT was used preoperatively or not. Timing to definitive coverage, injury details, and basic demographics were recorded. Rates of flap failure, infection, bone nonunion, reoperation, and complications were compared between groups.
Results A total of 1,027 patients and 1,047 flaps were included, of which 894 (85.39%) received preflap NPWT. The average time to definitive coverage for the NPWT and non-NPWT groups was 16 and 18 days, respectively. The NPWT group experienced lower postoperative complication rates than the non-NPWT group in all reported complications except for deep infections. Compared with the non-NPWT group, the NPWT group experienced lower rates of any flap failure (3.69 vs. 9.80%) and partial flap failure (2.24 vs. 6.54%).
Conclusion Preoperative NPWT was associated with reduced postoperative complications, most importantly flap failure rates. This merits further investigation into the decision-making process for traumatic extremity reconstruction. Future prospective studies adopting standardized protocols with longer follow-up are required to better understand the potentially beneficial role of preoperative NPWT use in soft tissue reconstruction.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Background Free fibular flaps have been suggested as a modality of reconstruction for complex spinal deformities. However, there is limited data that describes associated postoperative outcomes. The purpose of this systematic review was to characterize outcomes after spinal reconstruction using the free fibular flap for both adults and children.
Methods Thirty-nine articles among four databases were identified as having met inclusion criteria. Patient demographics, indications for spinal reconstruction as well as location and anastomosis, history of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and postoperative outcomes including complications were identified. Major complications were defined as complications requiring reoperation, while minor complications were those that did not require reoperation. Systemic complications were defined as complications affecting sites or organ systems beyond the local donor and recipient sites. Statistical analysis was performed using Fischer's exact, chi-squared, and t-tests.
Results We identified 218 adult patients (mean age 47.7 years, 56.4% male) and 27 pediatric patients (mean age 12.7 years, 55.6% male). While there was no significant difference in the rates of bony union between the two groups (adults: 90.8%, children: 90%, p > 0.9), adults had significantly higher rates of major (27% vs. 7.4%, p = 0.026), minor (26.1% vs. 7.4%, p = 0.032), and systemic (14.2% vs. 0%, p = 0.047) complications.
Conclusion Free fibular flaps are effective for spinal reconstruction for both adults and children, as evidenced by the high rates of bony union. However, adults exhibited significantly higher complication rates. Further research is required to better understand the patient and clinical risk factors associated with increased rate of complications.

Authors: Shammas Nicolas W. , Shammas Gail , Jones-Miller Sue ,   For the JET-RANGER Investigators
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe JET-RANGER study (NCT03206762) was a multicenter (11 U.S. centers), randomized trial, core-lab adjudicated and designed to demonstrate the superiority of Jetstream + paclitaxel-coated balloon (JET + PCB) versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) + PCB in treating femoropopliteal arterial disease. The 1- and 2-year outcomes have been recently published. The 3-year outcome data are presented in this report. The JET-RANGER trial initially had 47 patients with 48 lesions. Thirty-one in the JET-PCB arm and 16 in the PTA + PCB arm (2:1 randomization). At 3-year follow-ups, there were 20 patients in the JET-PCB arm and 14 patients in the PTA + PCB arm. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was performed to estimate the freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 3 years. Bailout stenting was not considered a TLR in this analysis. Statistical significance was determined by a p-value < 0.05. Freedom from TLR was statistically similar between the two groups at 3 years between JET + PCB and PTA + PCB (freedom from TLR was 88.0 vs. 67.8%, respectively, p = 0.1380). There was also no significant difference in the change of ankle-brachial index (ABI) between the PTA + PCB and JET + PCB from baseline at 6 months (p = 0.7890), 1 year (p = 0.4070), 2 years (p = 0.7410), and 3 years (p = 0.8010). There was also no statistical difference between the JET + PCB and PTA + PCB arms for RCC improvement by one or more categories from baseline to 3 years (p = 0.8949). There were no minor or major amputations for either arm throughout the 3-year follow-up. Five JET + PCB patients died before the 3-year specified window and none in the PTA + PCB arm (p = 0.137). Two of the deaths were due to cancer and three due to cardiac causes. None were deemed related to the device or procedure. JET + PCB had similar freedom from TLR and improvement in ABI and RCC at 3-year follow-up with no difference in amputation or mortality between the 2 arms. A trend toward less TLR was seen in the JET + PCB arm.
Flexibly Incorporating the Dyad into Psychosocial Intervention: Considerations for Neuropalliative Care
Authors: Plys Evan , Szapary Claire L. , Vranceanu Ana-Maria 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis paper reviews dyadic psychosocial intervention approaches that flexibly incorporate both dyad members despite challenges to equitable involvement due to cognitive limitations or limited availability. We provide an overview, analysis, and examples for the following dyadic intervention approaches: (1) shared interventions that involve each dyad member equitably (i.e., higher care recipient cognition, higher care-partner availability); (2) patient-focused interventions that primarily engage care recipients with early stages of neurocognitive disorders, yet include care-partners in select sessions and target dyadic and relationship needs (i.e., higher care recipient cognition, lower care-partner availability); and (3) care-partner focused interventions that primarily engage care-partners, yet still address care recipient and relationship needs (i.e., lower care recipient cognition, higher care-partner availability). In our review, we propose a flexible definition of dyadic psychosocial intervention that considers the continuum of individuals' involvement, measurement, content, and conceptual background. We conclude with a discussion of implications for neuropalliative care.
A Case Report: Regenerative Biodegradable Chin Implant—A Viable Futuristic Option
Authors: Bhave Medha , Jaiswal Yogesh Rameshchandra 
Published: October 2024

AbstractChin augmentation can dramatically transform a patient's appearance. Various techniques are in use, each with their specific problems and limitations. We present the first case report from the Indian subcontinent using a custom 3D-printed, bioresorbable polycaprolactone implant. We demonstrate, by appropriate imaging, the replacement of the implant at long-term (22 months) follow-up by patient's own autologous bone formation. An excellent aesthetic result was achieved. Relevant points of technique, as well as pertinent properties of the material, are discussed. This material has been used in neurosurgery and in the management of orbital fractures. Yet, worldwide, very few (3–4) cases of chin implant have been done using this material. We believe this to be a useful and sustainable material, offering several advantages, as set out in the case report.
The effectiveness of ChatGPT as a lexical tool for English, compared with a bilingual dictionary and a monolingual learner’s dictionary
Authors: Lew Robert , Ptasznik Bartosz , Wolfer Sascha 
Published: October 2024

AbstractTraditionally, language learners have relied on dictionaries when trying to read or write in a foreign language. However, new LLM-based chatbots may offer an alternative to traditional dictionaries as lexical tools. This study assesses the effectiveness of ChatGPT versus the monolingual Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE, 2024) and the bilingual Diki.pl (Diki.pl, 2024) online dictionaries in supporting English language learners in receptive and productive lexical tasks. With a sample of 166 university students at B2 to C1 proficiency levels and forty uncommon English phrasal verbs, we investigate whether a leading AI-driven chatbot, a high-quality learners’ dictionary, or a popular free bilingual dictionary offers better support in accurately understanding and producing English. The results reveal ChatGPT to be more effective than either dictionary in production, and better than the monolingual dictionary, but not the bilingual dictionary, in reception.
Electrostatically embedded symmetry-adapted perturbation theory
Authors: Glick Caroline S. , Alenaizan Asem , Cheney Daniel L. , Cavender Chapin E. , Sherrill C. David 
Published: October 2024

Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) is an ab initio approach that directly computes noncovalent interaction energies in terms of electrostatics, exchange repulsion, induction/polarization, and London dispersion components. Due to its high computational scaling, routine applications of even the lowest order of SAPT are typically limited to a few hundred atoms. To address this limitation, we report here the addition of electrostatic embedding to the SAPT (EE-SAPT) and ISAPT (EE-ISAPT) methods. We illustrate the embedding scheme using water trimer as a prototype example. Then, we show that EE-SAPT/EE-ISAPT can be applied for efficiently and accurately computing noncovalent interactions in large systems, including solvated dimers and protein–ligand systems. In the latter application, particular care must be taken to properly handle the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics boundary when it cuts covalent bonds. We investigate various schemes for handling charges near this boundary and demonstrate which are most effective in the context of charge-embedded SAPT.
The augmented interpreter
Authors: Gieshoff Anne Catherine , Schuler Martin , Jahany Zaniyar 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) tools use speech recognition and machine translation to display numbers and
names on a screen or automatically suggest renditions for technical terms. One way to improve the usability of CAI tools may be to
use augmented reality (AR) technology, which allows information to be displayed wherever convenient. Instead of having to look
down at a tablet or a laptop, the interpreter can see the term or number projected directly into their field of vision, allowing
them to maintain their focus on the speaker and the audio input. In this study, we investigated the affordances of AR in
simultaneous interpreting. Nine professional conference interpreters each interpreted two technical talks: one with numerals,
proper nouns and suggestions for technical terms automatically shown on an AR display and the other with an MS Word glossary on a
laptop. The results indicate a hypothetical use case for AR technologies in interpreting but highlight the practical limitations,
such as a lack of comfort in wearing the AR equipment, a lack of ergonomic and intuitive interaction with virtual objects, and
distraction and interference with the interpreting process in the form of additional visual input.
Imaging exciton interactions in two-dimensional materials and heterostructures with spectroscopic microscopy
Authors: L Purz Torben , W Martin Eric , T Hipsley Blake , T Cundiff Steven 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Exciton interactions are at the heart of carrier dynamics and applications of two-dimensional materials derived from their strong light-matter interactions. Exciton-phonon interactions affect the dephasing time of excitons in few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and excitons can couple to each other coherently and incoherently in TMD heterostructures. This coupling introduces a mechanism for quantum coherent control and fast and efficient solar cells and detectors. Exciton-magnon interactions bear the potential for control of spintronics application, while exciton-continuum interactions can lead to new exciton states in twisted bilayer graphene. Linear spectroscopic techniques, including photoluminescence and spontaneous Raman, are ubiquitous yet limited in their ability to study interactions. Nonlinear, ultrafast spectroscopic techniques such as multidimensional coherent spectroscopy and transient absorption spectroscopy are uniquely suited to study exciton interactions with other quasiparticles and give unprecedented access to the most fundamental physics in two-dimensional materials. Because many high-quality samples are still based on exfoliated monolayers, properties change drastically across a sample and in between samples. Therefore, combining spectroscopic techniques with microscopic imaging is an important advance in experimental studies of two-dimensional materials. Spectroscopic microscopy gives statistical information as much as it allows researchers to understand how exciton interactions are affected by changes in the surrounding potential, whether due to strain, doping, or atomic alignment. In this review, we will highlight the progression of experimental techniques alongside the exciton interactions of interest, as different exciton interactions require different tools to study them.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Accurately measuring the velocity field (VF) of liquid metals is essential for optimizing and controlling high-temperature industrial processes, yet remains a challenging task despite the numerous existing velocimetry techniques. In this paper, a methodology for estimating the VF of a liquid metal pool is proposed. The experimental set-up used here to heat the metal sample up to the liquid state and collect data is presented. This set-up primarly intented to perform flash experimetns on liquid metals, allows contactless heating and data measurements by a high speed camera. The proposed methodology for estimating the VF consists then in implementing a Non-Rigid Registration between the different frames of the recorded temperature fields (TFs). This method is applied on TFs resulting from multiple experimental tests conducted on iron samples in the temperature range of

LRSDet: lightweight remote sensing target detection network with local-global information awareness and rapid sample assignment
Authors: Fan Fei , Zhang Ming , Liu Yang , Yu Dahua , Li Jianjun 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
With the rapid development of aerospace and unmanned aerial vehicles, using neural networks for object detection in optical remote sensing images (O-RSI) has encountered heightened challenges. The optical remote sensing images have the characteristics of complex geometric scenes, dense groups of objects, and significant multi-scale variations of objects; researchers need to use more complex models to achieve higher accuracy. However, this complexity also brings challenges to the application of lightweight scenes. Therefore, to cope with the trade-off challenge between model complexity and detection accuracy, we propose a lightweight network model LRSDet in this study. The model integrates local and global information processing mechanisms and introduces a fast positive sample assignment strategy to adapt to resource-constrained embedded and mobile platforms. By constructing a lightweight feature extraction network and a lightweight path aggregation network and incorporating the ESM-Attention module, the feature extraction capability of the model in complex remote sensing scenarios is significantly improved. In addition, the application of a dynamic soft threshold strategy further optimizes the positive sample selection process and improves the detection efficiency of the model. Experimental on the O-RSI datasets DIOR, NWPU VHR-10, and RSOD, while analyzing model real-time performance on aerial video and embedded devices, outperforming other state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract
Fast and accurate detection of light in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range plays a crucial role in modern society, from alleviating speed and capacity bottlenecks in optical communications to enhancing the control and safety of autonomous vehicles through NIR imaging systems. Several technological platforms are currently under investigation to improve NIR photodetection, aiming to surpass the performance of established III–V semiconductor p-i-n (PIN) junction technology. These platforms include in situ-grown inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) and nanowire arrays, as well as hybrid organic–inorganic materials such as graphene-perovskite heterostructures. However, challenges remain in NC and nanowire growth, large-area fabrication of high-quality 2D materials, and the fabrication of devices for practical applications. Here, we explore the potential for tailored semiconductor NCs to enhance the responsivity of planar metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) photodetectors. MSM technology offers ease of fabrication and fast response times compared to PIN detectors. We observe enhancement of the optical-to-electric conversion efficiency by up to a factor of ∼2.5 through the application of plasmonically-active semiconductor nanorods and NCs. We present a protocol for synthesizing and rapidly testing the performance of non-stoichiometric tungsten oxide (WO

Nanoarchitectonics of tunable aminosalicylate sodium encapsulated gold nanoparticles enabling multi-faceted role as capping, reducing, stabilizing and colorimetric detection of metal ions
Authors: Das Nabojit , Kumar Akash , Rayavarapu Raja Gopal 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Despite all the advancements in aqueous synthesis of gold nanoparticles, certain features like one-pot/one-step method with minimal reactants using greener solvents are still demanding. The challenge in the aqueous phase synthesis is to balance the nucleation and precise growth of nanoparticles avoiding aggregation. In this work, we report a unique versatile unexplored molecule aminosalicylate sodium (Na-4-ASA) which functions as a capping, reducing, stabilizing and more interestingly as an encapsulating agent for gold nanoparticles. This multi-faceted molecule showed excellent control in synthesizing monodisperse tunable encapsulated nanoparticles of sizes (60 nm, 53 nm and 12 nm) exhibiting absorbance bands at 560 nm, 540 nm and 520 nm respectively. X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transmission Infra-Red validated crystalline structure and binding of Na-4-ASA onto gold nanoparticles surface respectively. Furthermore, the AuNPs were investigated for their ability to detect metal ions through colorimetric change where purification via centrifugation turned out to be a key parameter in enabling the detection. Selectivity towards Al3+ was observed with the 12 nm sized nanoparticles at 0.5 ppm metal ion concentration. The AuNPs of sizes 60 nm and 53 nm detected Al3+/Cr3+/Fe3+ and Al3+/Fe3+ respectively indicating the impact of size in heavy metal ions detection. The greater the size of AuNPs, lower is the selectivity where detection of three metal ions were observed and vice versa i.e. smaller-sized AuNPs showed high selectivity by detecting single metal ion. Also, the time duration for detection increased with decreasing size of the AuNPs. Finally, LOD for the heavy metal ions Al3+, Cr3+, and Fe3+ were calculated as 67 ppb, 78 ppb, 76 ppb respectively.
