A low‐profile tri‐band shared‐aperture antenna for Sub‐6G wide‐beam and millimetre‐wave high‐gain applications
Authors: Wang Chuang , Cao Wenquan , Zhu Yangkun , Tong Yixin 
Published: September 2024

AbstractTo achieve multi‐function integration and independent performance regulation of microwave and millimetre‐wave (mm‐Wave) shared‐aperture antennas, a design method based on embedded structure fusion is proposed. In the Sub‐6G band, a high‐order mode annular‐ring patch antenna is designed. To transform the non‐broadside characteristics, the current distribution of TM31 and TM12 modes is reconstructed by slotting in the centre of the patch. Additionally, the electric field distribution is modified by loading shorting pins to achieve beam broadening. In the 5G mm‐Wave band, a four‐element high‐gain substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) slotted cavity backed antenna array with low‐sidelobe characteristics is obtained using the element interleaving technique. The SIW slotted cavity backed antenna array is integrated into the central area of the annular‐ring patch to achieve aperture‐sharing fusion. Experimental results demonstrate that the antenna operates in the Sub‐6G dual‐band of 2.1–2.2 GHz and 5.2–5.4 GHz, respectively. Furthermore, the widest half‐power beamwidth measured in these two bands is 126° and 140°. In the mm‐Wave band, the operating bandwidth is 26.5–29.5 GHz, with a gain of up to 18.8 dBi. Notably, the performance of different bands does not impact the other, and the measured isolation exceeds 40 dB. Furthermore, the antenna profile is only 0.008 λ0. Therefore, an ultra‐low‐profile microwave and mm‐Wave shared‐aperture antenna with multi‐function integration and independent performance control is realised, which has great potential for application in 5G intelligent connected vehicle communications.
Earthquake and the Invention of America
Authors: Brickhouse Anna 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This book explores the role of earthquakes in shaping the deep timeframes and multi-hemispheric geographies of American literary history. Spanning the ancient world to the futuristic continents of speculative fiction, the earthquake stories assembled here together reveal the emergence of a broadly Western cultural syndrome that became an acute national fantasy: elsewhere catastrophe, an unspoken but widely prevalent sense that catastrophe is somehow “un-American.” Catastrophe must be elsewhere because it affirms the rightness of “here” where conquest, according to the syndrome’s logic, did not happen and is not occurring. The psychic investment in elsewhere catastrophe coalesced slowly, across centuries; varieties of it can be found in various European traditions of the modern. Yet in its most striking modes and resonances, elsewhere catastrophe proves fundamental to the invention of US-America—which is why earthquake, as the exemplary elsewhere catastrophe, is the disaster that must always happen far away or be forgotten. The book’s eight chapters and epilogue range from Plato to the Puritans, from El Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and Voltaire to Herman Melville and N. K. Jemisin, examining along the way the seismic imaginings of Edgar Allan Poe, James Fenimore Cooper, Frederick Douglass, Emily Dickinson, and José Martí, among other writers. At the core of the book’s inquiries are the earthquakes, historical and imagined, that act as both a recurrent eruptive force and a provocation for disparate modes of critical engagement with the long and catastrophic history of the Americas.
Elsewhere Catastrophe
Authors: Brickhouse Anna 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter outlines the theoretical basis for elsewhere catastrophe by moving backwards from the US South and the context of the Civil War to Plato and the earthquake philosophy of the Republic and the Timaeus and Critias. Plato’s earthquakes, also occasions for slave revolts, offer an ancient lens on the seismic imaginings of Western imperial modernity. The ancient southerly plantations of the Mediterranean empire became the so-called classical West, eliding the role of non-Europe in creating great traditions of knowledge. The discovery of the Americas, which Columbus hailed as the Indies, was also a search for a new kind of South and for peoples who could be enslaved. Over the next centuries, during the European race for overseas empire, an Iberian South and the Black Legend emerged as alibis for the predations of colonialism, for the violence of enslavement, dispossession, and extraction. The deep past of these various Souths re-emerges with special clarity after the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.
Predatory Optimism
Authors: Brickhouse Anna 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter draws on eighteenth-century writings about the Lisbon earthquake to explore how imperial modernity required the southernizing of catastrophe. The chapter examines the writings of Alexander Pope, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Gottfried Leibniz, and Voltaire, arguing that this new southernizing of catastrophe helped to hide in plain sight the catastrophic nature of western Europe’s own imperial violence while also giving rise to a philosophical and emotional sensibility: predatory optimism. The corollary of predatory optimism is theodicy, which describes Leibniz’s systematic philosophical approach to the ancient problems of suffering and evil. Candide is a philosophical response to the Lisbon earthquake that insists on linking that European catastrophe indelibly to colonial South America. The chapter turns finally to the earliest writings about the great Lima–Callao earthquake of 1746 to explore the convergence of racial capitalism and disaster capitalism in the aftermath of colonial Peru’s seismic catastrophe.
Pachacuti
Authors: Brickhouse Anna 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter reads two Andean-born writers—the Quechua historian Guaman Poma de Ayala and the contemporaneous historian and son of a royal Inca woman and Spanish conquistador, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega—who figure colonial reality as a swallowing up by the earth and deploy earthquake as a mode of interpretation that continually pushes against colonial knowledge. Garcilaso’s considerable influence on eighteenth-century European writers suggests how other cosmologies and modes of knowledge production impinged on the trajectory of catastrophic rationality, inviting us to reconsider the directionality and implications of Enlightenment. The earthquake history assembled in the chapter unfolds across languages, continents, and genres, including the new formation of the English novel, and it suggests a deep connection, material as much as it is imaginative, between the rending of the earth and the conditions of possibility for decolonial unsettlement.
Earthquake Amnesia
Authors: Brickhouse Anna 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter argues that the literary history of the nineteenth-century US depends upon and also produces a profound sense of seismic amnesia, the literal forgetting of historical earthquakes after their occurrence. The exemplary instance of this forgetting occurs after the massive New Madrid earthquakes that struck early in the nineteenth century (1811–1812), shook people as far away as the White House in Washington, DC, and signaled—for the multitribal confederacy led by Tecumseh—a spatio-temporal revolution in which the earth’s rebalancing would require the end of settler culture. Works explored in the chapter include Olaudah Equiano’s Interesting Narrative, supplemented by the author in the wake of separate earthquakes; Edgar Allan Poe’s Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, which offers a meditation on the southernization of catastrophe across US, hemispheric, and global registers; and James Fenimore Cooper’s The Crater, the great, forgotten seismic novel of US literary history.
Epilogue
Authors: Brickhouse Anna 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The Epilogue turns to the Broken Earth trilogy of N. K. Jemisin, who postulates a chilling future in which the trembling world is both philosophical and geological. The trilogy enumerates the features of a future world, “The Stillness,” defined by the environmental consequences of elsewhere catastrophe. If earthquake is a daily feature of this future existence, it is also central to a racial logic that organizes and manages human life throughout the entire planet. The trilogy demands that elsewhere catastrophe be recognized in all its hereness, that readers see the horrifying forms of racial extraction that allow The Stillness to live as though its name could ever be true. Her trilogy also offers the components of a practice for the future, a way of gathering up the losses not merely to rehearse them but also to assemble a new field of possibilities: an earthquake philosophy of how to live in a world where catastrophe is here and now.
Digital pathology and multimodal learning on oncology data

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Cancer presents a complex tapestry of biological, clinical, and molecular characteristics that collectively influence its diagnosis, progression, and treatment. This review article delves into the recent advancements in integrating multimodal oncology data, a pivotal aspect in the evolving field of digital pathology (DP). The complexity and heterogeneity of cancer, characterized by its multimodal nature, present significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Traditional methods of oncology data analysis often fall short of capturing the comprehensive landscape of cancer’s multifaceted characteristics. The advent of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning has marked a new era in multimodal learning. These technologies have revolutionized how oncologists and researchers understand and approach cancer, allowing for a more nuanced and detailed analysis. In this review article, we attempt to examine and present how DP enriches its methods and analysis with other data modalities, including clinical, radiological, and molecular information. We present opportunities and challenges of multimodal learning in oncology, highlighting the synergistic potential of combining various data types for improving cancer care with a focus on DP. Continuous innovation in multimodal data integration will be instrumental in transforming cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, prognosis, and post-treatment surveillance.
Transformer-based approach for symptom recognition and multilingual linking
Authors: Vassileva Sylvia , Grazhdanski Georgi , Koychev Ivan , Boytcheva Svetla 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This paper presents a transformer-based approach for symptom Named Entity Recognition (NER) in Spanish clinical texts and multilingual entity linking on the SympTEMIST dataset. For Spanish NER, we fine tune a RoBERTa-based token-level classifier with Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory and conditional random field layers on an augmented train set, achieving an F1 score of 0.73. Entity linking is performed via a hybrid approach with dictionaries, generating candidates from a knowledge base containing Unified Medical Language System aliases using the cross-lingual SapBERT and reranking the top candidates using GPT-3.5. The entity linking approach shows consistent results for multiple languages of 0.73 accuracy on the SympTEMIST multilingual dataset and also achieves an accuracy of 0.6123 on the Spanish entity linking task surpassing the current top score for this subtask.

Abstract
Baited static gear fisheries targeting benthic invertebrates have expanded at a global scale. While improvements have been made in the monitoring and management of these fisheries, reliable survey methods for stock assessments of many key species are lacking. In this study we examine the viability of a baited remote underwater video (BRUV) system for obtaining abundance indices for a data-limited stock (common whelk, Buccinum undatum), and compare this method to catch per unit effort (CPUE) from commercial fishing. BRUVs capable of collecting 15 hours of timelapse footage were deployed on pot strings in two distinct whelk fishing sites, with replication over a spring-neap tidal cycle. Three potential BRUV metrics—the maximum (MaxN) and mean (MeanN) abundance and time of first arrival (T1)—were calculated for each deployment, and significant linear relationships were identified between MaxN, MeanN, and CPUE across sites. Temporal variability in BRUV indices driven by tidal dynamics was minimal, although results suggest high current speeds may reduce abundance estimates, and a potential method for predicting density on the seabed using arrival rates is also demonstrated. BRUVs are a valuable tool in developing stock assessment surveys for static gear fisheries.
Bromelain-Based Enzymatic Debridement Versus Standard of Care in Deep Burn Injuries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Deep burn injuries necessitate effective debridement to promote healing and reduce complications. Traditional surgical debridement is the standard of care; however, it can lead to significant tissue loss, excessive bleeding and delayed healing. Bromelain-based enzymatic debridement offers a potential less invasive alternative that aims to selectively remove necrotic tissue while preserving viable ones. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis comprehensively compares bromelain debridement versus standard care in the management of partial and full thickness burns. Cochrane Library, Embase, and Medline were searched until May 30, 2024 for studies comparing bromelain debridement versus standard care. R version 4.4.0 was used to pooled risk ratio and mean difference in a random-effects model. We included 7 studies, comprising 484 participants, of whom 238 (49%) were treated with enzymatic debridement. Bromelain significantly reduced time to eschar removal (MD −7.60 days 95% CI [−9.76, −5.44]; I2 = 70%) in comparison with standard care. Additionally, bromelain group presented a significant reduction in the risk of surgical excision (RR 0.17; 95% CI [0.06, 0.47]; I2 = 79%) and need for autografts (RR 0.40; 95% CI [0.18, 0.93]; I2 = 76%) in comparison with standard group. No differences were found in behalf of time to wound closure (MD −7.64 days; 95% CI [−18.46]–[3.18]; I2 = 86%), nor in Modified Vancouver Scar Scale (MD −0.36 points; 95% CI [−0.96]–[0.23]; I2 = 0%). Bromelain-based enzymatic debridement may accelerate eschar removal and reduce the need for surgical excision and autografts, without adversely affecting wound closure time or long-term scar quality.

Published: September 2024

Arterial puncture is a painful procedure performed to assess patients’ respiratory status. Pain is a stressful situation for unconscious patients as they cannot communicate their feeling verbally. To control patients’ pain and prevent the adverse effects of painkillers, nonpharmacological pain management strategies have been solicited. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cryoanalgesia on unconscious patients’ pain during arterial puncture. We adopted a quasi-experimental one-group research design. A sample of 86 unconscious patients in a surgical intensive care unit were recruited in this study. The intervention was applying an ice pack over the puncture site for 5 minutes before the arterial puncture procedure. Pain was assessed for 2 times; before and after application of cryoanalgesia. A statistically significant difference in participants’ pain scores between pre-tests and post-tests was noted. For the intubated ventilated participants, the mean pain score before and after applying cryoanalgesia was 5.26 versus 4.00 (P ≤ .05). For the non-intubated or intubated non-ventilated participants, the mean pain score was 6.66 versus 4.63 (P ≤ .05). Cryoanalgesia is a feasible and effective method incorporate during arterial puncture along with standard procedure elements to achieve maximum pain reduction for unconscious patients during arterial punctures.
Observational cohort study on safety and efficacy of robotic thyroidectomy with super-meticulous capsular dissection versus open surgery for thyroid cancer: postoperative dynamic risk assessment of radioactive iodine therapy
Authors: Qin Xiangquan , Zhang Yufan , Luo Jia , Zeng Lingjuan , Liu Xia , Zhang Ting , Ren Lin , Fan Linjun , Huang Dingde 
Published: September 2024

Objective:
To assess the efficacy and safety of robotic thyroidectomy (RT) with super-meticulous capsular dissection (SMCD) versus open thyroidectomy (OT), the authors used a dynamic risk assessment system incorporating 131I-WBS along with radioactive iodine (RAI) efficacy evaluation.

Background:
Currently, the therapeutic efficacy of robotic surgery remains controversial. The 131I whole-body scan (131I-WBS) dynamic risk assessment system can detect small residual thyroid tissues and lesions, which may be used as indicators for the surgical efficacy of RT or OT thyroidectomy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).

Methods:
This retrospective cohort study included 2349 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy followed by RAI therapy in our department between August 2017 and June 2023. Propensity score matching was performed at a ratio of 1:3 based on surgical type and mean follow-up duration to minimize selection bias after excluding those lost to follow-up. The primary outcome was surgical completeness, assessed using a dynamic risk system incorporating 131I-WBS along with RAI efficacy evaluation.

Results:
There was no significant difference in the number of metastatic lymph nodes removed between the two groups (P=0.45). The incidence rate of parathyroid gland transplantation was 395 (68.7%) in the OT group and 8 (3.8%) in the RT group (P<0.001). There were no differences in the thyroidectomy completeness based on the 3 h iodine uptake rate and 99mTcO4
− thyroid imaging between the two groups. The dynamic risk assessment with and without 131I-WBS showed significant differences (P<0.001). The postoperative and post-RAI dynamic risk scores, evaluated at the time of RAI and 6 months after RAI, did not differ significantly between the two groups (P>0.05). The rates of transient and permanent hypoparathyroidism were higher in the OT group than in the RT group (P<0.05). The local recurrence rates showed no significant difference between the groups.

Conclusions:
This study demonstrates that RT with SMCD can achieve outcomes equivalent to those of traditional open surgery when integrating the 131I-WBS dynamic evaluation system and the therapeutic effects of RAI. Additionally, robot surgery demonstrated a notable advantage in protecting parathyroid function.
Patient needs in women of childbearing age with psoriasis: retrospective analysis from the German PsoBest registry
Authors: da Silva Burger Neuza , Augustin Matthias , Westphal Lukas , Kühl Laura , Stephan Brigitte , Sommer Rachel 
Published: September 2024

Background:
Women of childbearing age (WoCBA) with psoriasis face additional burden related to contraindications of systemic treatments during pregnancy/lactation and to the physical and psychosocial impact of psoriasis on their intimate/sexual relationships.

Objective:
Within a people-centered health care model, this study aimed to identify specific patient needs and their correlates in WoCBA (18–45 years), in comparison to same-age men and women above 45 years.

Methods:
Baseline data from the German PsoBest registry, including patients with moderate/severe plaque-type psoriasis with the indication for systemic therapy, were retrospectively analyzed. Psoriasis severity was assessed with the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and patient-reported outcomes included EuroQoL Visual Analogue Scale, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and Patient Needs Questionnaire.

Results:
The participants were 2308 WoCBA, 3634 men between 18 and 45 years of age, and 3401 women older than 45 years. In comparison to both control groups, WoCBA reported more DLQI impairments and higher needs to reduce social impairments (eg, “to be able to lead a normal working life”; “to be less burdened in your partnership”; “to be able to have a normal sex life”). These patient needs were associated with having psoriasis arthritis, previous systemic therapy, worse general health, and more DLQI impairments.

Limitations:
Retrospective analysis of an established dataset limited the examination of specific developmental, sexual, and reproductive variables.

Conclusion:
The specific needs of WoCBA with psoriasis were particularly related to the work context/financial stability and intimate relationships, which are crucial aspects in family planning. These results claim for a sex/age-sensitive approach in the psoriasis health care, by considering these needs as qualifiers in the clinical decision for systemic treatment.
Risk Factors and a Prediction Model for Pain Recurrence After Pancreatic Stent Removal in Painful Chronic Pancreatitis

Published: September 2024

Objectives
Endoscopic pancreatic stenting (EPS) is an effective treatment for painful chronic pancreatitis. However, little is known about the factors that cause pain recurrence after stent removal, and there are no clear criteria for stent removal. We aimed to develop a prediction model for pain recurrence by identifying its risk factors.

Materials and Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 95 patients who underwent EPS for pain for the first time using a single plastic stent between January 2007 and July 2022 at our institute. Univariate and multivariate stepwise Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify the risk factors for pain recurrence, and a prediction model was developed based on the identified factors.

Results
Of the 95 enrolled patients, 89 (93.7%) achieved pain relief and 73 (76.8%) did stent removal. Among 69 patients with a follow-up period ≥6 months after stent removal, 29 (42.0%) had pain recurrence during the median follow-up of 59 months. Serum lipase level (P = 0.034) and pancreatic parenchymal thickness (P = 0.022) on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging were identified as independent risk factors for pain recurrence. The prediction model based on the identified factors had good discrimination ability, with a concordance index of 0.74, and could stratify pain recurrence rates.

Conclusions
We identified the risk factors and developed a new prediction model for pain recurrence following stent removal. This model might be useful for decision making in pancreatic stent management, such as deciding whether to remove a stent, continue EPS, or convert to surgery.
