ZASTOSOWANIE SZTUCZNEJ INTELIGENCJI W ECHOGRAFII SERCOWEJ: KORZYŚCI I RYZYKO
Authors: Klimczak Krzysztof 
Published: September 2024

Ultrasonografia sercowa , zwana echokardiografią, zajmuje dzisiaj czołowe miejsce w diagnostyce kardiologicznej. Ciągle rozwijają się nowe techniki, w tym
„rewolucyjna”technika oparta na sztucznej inteligencji (Artificial Intelligence – AI). Stopniowo AI znajduje również zastosowanie w kardiologii, między innymi w badaniu echograficznym struktur i funkcji serca. Korzyści płynące z fuzji: Echo-AI sukcesywnie konkretyzują się, umożliwiając w szczególności:
-	bardziej precyzyjną i szybszą diagnostykę kardiologiczną decydującą o skuteczności leczenia,
- sprawną automatyzację techniki echograficznej pomocną przy rutynowym badaniu pacjenta,- znaczącą poprawę jakości i efektywności obrazowania echograficznego,
-	pomoc w analizach dostarczonych danych medycznych i w interpretacji wyników badania echograficznego,
-	dokładniejsze prognozowanie przebiegu choroby sercowej i dostosowanie strategii terapeutycznej.
Mimo licznych zalet i korzyści technologii AI, zastosowanie sztucznej inteligencji w medycynie, włącznie z echografią sercowa wzbudza wiele kontrowersji i wiąże się z potencjalnymi zagrożeniami i ryzykiem związanymi z tą techniką, takimi jak:
-	błędne rozpoznanie schorzenia sercowego (niepełna, wadliwa lub niewyważona analiza danych medycznych),
-	niewłaściwy wpływ na„złożone” procesy decyzyjne w diagnostyce echograficznej, trudne do odtworzenia przez AI,
-	ograniczenie zdolności obliczeniowych przez systemy AI związane z niepełną bazą danych lub niewłaściwym przetwarzaniem opisów obrazów medycznych,
-	selektywne„zapominaniem” pewnych informacji przez modele AI mogące ograniczyć obiektywną diagnostykę schorzenia
-	wysoki koszt tworzenia, aktualizacji, nadzoru i korygowania modeli AI w świetle nowych odkryć i standardów w medycynie.
Ostatecznie, choć kardiologia wolniej niż wiele innych dziedzin medycyny przyswaja sobie technologie opartą na sztucznej inteligencji, z czasem będzie z pewnością z tej technologii coraz więcej korzystać.
Visual search and real-image similarity: An empirical assessment through the lens of deep learning
Authors: Petilli Marco A. , Rodio Francesca M. , Günther Fritz , Marelli Marco 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe ability to predict how efficiently a person finds an object in the environment is a crucial goal of attention research. Central to this issue are the similarity principles initially proposed by Duncan and Humphreys, which outline how the similarity between target and distractor objects (TD) and between distractor objects themselves (DD) affect search efficiency. However, the search principles lack direct quantitative support from an ecological perspective, being a summary approximation of a wide range of lab-based results poorly generalisable to real-world scenarios. This study exploits deep convolutional neural networks to predict human search efficiency from computational estimates of similarity between objects populating, potentially, any visual scene. Our results provide ecological evidence supporting the similarity principles: search performance continuously varies across tasks and conditions and improves with decreasing TD similarity and increasing DD similarity. Furthermore, our results reveal a crucial dissociation: TD and DD similarities mainly operate at two distinct layers of the network: DD similarity at the intermediate layers of coarse object features and TD similarity at the final layers of complex features used for classification. This suggests that these different similarities exert their major effects at two distinct perceptual levels and demonstrates our methodology’s potential to offer insights into the depth of visual processing on which the search relies. By combining computational techniques with visual search principles, this approach aligns with modern trends in other research areas and fulfils longstanding demands for more ecologically valid research in the field of visual search.

From the Jaws of Defeat: France, the United States and Middle East Oil, 1940-1948
Authors: Conlin Jonathan 
Published: September 2024

À sa création en 1924, l’Etat français confia à la Compagnie française des Pétroles les 25% de parts de la Turkish (ensuite Iraq) Petroleum Company qu’il détenait. L’IPC, joint venture des quatre grandes entreprises pétrolières américaines et britannique, trouva du pétrole en Irak trois ans plus tard. Durant l’entre-deux-guerres, les prétentions de la France à l’indépendance pétrolière reposaient sur la CFP et sur l’accès au pétrole du Moyen-Orient que l’IPC procurait aux Français à travers l’Accord de la ligne rouge de 1928. En 1940, la défaite sembla anéantir la France comme puissance pétrolière. L’Accord de la ligne rouge tomba et la CFP perdit ses droits légitimes sur les champs pétrolifères d’Arabie saoudite. La CFP et l’Etat français firent face à cette crise énergétique à travers un mélange de diplomatie et de chantage. En s’appuyant sur des archives jusqu’ici inexploitées, cet essai pose que le résultat -le Working Agreement de 1948- en fut pour la France plus favorable qu’il est généralement présenté.
Introducing a large panel dataset of economy-wide real electricity prices and estimating long-run GDP and price elasticities of electricity demand for high-and middle-income panels
Authors: Liddle Brantley 
Published: September 2024

Nous assemblons un ensemble particulièrement important de données sur les prix réels de l’électricité pour l’ensemble de l’économie (en cents US par kilowattheure de 2015) en pondérant d’abord les prix de l’électricité pour l’industrie et les ménages résidentiels en fonction de la consommation. Des sources supplémentaires ont été utilisées pour étendre la série de prix (i) pour 17 pays de l’OCDE de 1978 à 1960 et (ii) pour cinq économies asiatiques de 1978 à 1973. Au total, cet ensemble de données (déséquilibré) couvre la période 1960-2019 et comprend les 107 pays pour lesquels il y a au moins 10 observations ; 36 pays comptant au moins 40 observations, et 40 autres ayant au moins 20 observations. Les prix sont importants à prendre en compte lors de l’analyse de la demande d’électricité, et les données sur les prix ne sont pas aisément accessibles pour les pays non-membres de l’OCDE. Nous proposons une démonstration utilisant un modèle commun pour la demande d’énergie/d’électricité, qui suggère que l’exclusion des prix confère un biais à la hausse sur l’estimation de l’élasticité PIB/revenu de la demande d’électricité. Le fait que les données soient en prix réels (par opposition à un indice réel) signifie qu’elles sont adaptées à une analyse transversale.
Efficacy of Platysma Myocutaneous Flap in Advanced Oral Submucous Fibrosis – A Prospective Study
Authors: Singh Aastha , Pal Uma Shankar , Kumar Sandeep , Sundaram Ezhilarasi 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Platysma myocutaneous flap used for intraoral reconstruction is an axial-pattern flap based on the submental branch of the facial artery; however, its vascular anatomy is complex in nature. Its efficacy in the reconstruction of oral defects following oral cancer resection is well established, even after facial artery ligation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of platysma myocutaneous flap in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients.

Materials and Methods:
The study included 85 OSMF patients (Grades III and IV). Platysma myocutaneous flap was used for the reconstruction of fibrotomy defects in all patients. All patients were followed up for a period of up to one year. Mouth opening was the chief parameter evaluated intraoperatively and postoperatively. The complications such as flap dehiscence, partial skin loss, tip necrosis, haematoma and paraesthesia at the donor site were also recorded.

Results:
The mean mouth opening value (in mm) increased from 13.00 ± 1.93 and 6.50 ± 2.35 to 32.72 ± 5.19 and 31.20 ± 4.77 at the end of one year in Grade III and IV groups, respectively. A gradual improvement in pain score was noted. Only minor complications occurred in 8.2% patients. Major flap loss was not seen in our series.

Discussion:
Proper dissection plane, avoiding muscle tearing during flap elevation, maintaining adequate pedicle, creating a tunnel of sufficient width and proper intraoral flap orientation are the major factors affecting flap success rates. Our study demonstrated that the platysma myocutaneous flap is a promising and effective option for reconstructing buccal mucosa defects in OSMF patients.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
The development of pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) has contributed to the improvement in the survival of critically ill children; however, the long-term functional outcome of these children is often unknown in many low-/middle-income countries including Rwanda. This study aimed to describe incidence and type of long-term functional outcomes and associated clinical characteristics among PICU survivors during a 5 years’ period (2015–2019).

Subjects and Methods:
This was a single-center, prospective observational cohort study conducted in the PICU of University Teaching Hospital in Rwanda. A Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) and Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC) scales were used to screen for long-term functional outcomes. The results were evaluated by telephone interview and statistically analyzed using logistic regression.

Results:
Out of 158 children, 53.2% had overall disability while 33.6% had some level of cognitive disability after PICU discharge. Out of 41 (2`5.9%) deaths during study period, three (7.3%) occurred during the hospital stay, while 8 (19.6%) occurred after the first year of hospital discharge. Disability screened by two scales, PCPC and PCOC, was comparable for mild (13.3% vs. 23.4%), moderate (11.4% vs. 20.3%), and severe (5.1% vs. 5.7%) categories. PICU admission for patient with at least one preadmission comorbidity had significantly greater disability at discharge (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:
Despite a high survival rate, residual functional disability is prevalent among children after discharge from the PICU in Rwanda. The presence of at least one preadmission comorbidity was independently associated with greater disability at discharge.
Nomogram for predicting short-term response to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment in neovascular age-related macular degeneration: An observational study
Authors: Huang Zhen-Huan , Tu Xue-Zhao , Lin Qi , Tu Mei , Lin Guo-Cai , Zhang Kai-Ping 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy is critical for managing neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), but understanding factors influencing treatment efficacy is essential for optimizing patient outcomes.
AIM
To identify the risk factors affecting anti-VEGF treatment efficacy in nAMD and develop a predictive model for short-term response.
METHODS
In this study, 65 eyes of exudative AMD patients after anti-VEGF treatment for ≥ 1 mo were observed using optical coherence tomography angiography. Patients were classified into non-responders (n = 22) and responders (n = 43). Logistic regression was used to determine independent risk factors for treatment response. A predictive model was created using the Akaike Information Criterion, and its performance was assessed with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) with 500 bootstrap re-samples.
RESULTS
Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified the number of junction voxels [odds ratio = 0.997, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.993-0.999, P = 0.010] as an independent predictor of positive anti-VEGF treatment outcomes. The predictive model incorporating the fractal dimension, number of junction voxels, and longest shortest path, achieved an area under the curve of 0.753 (95%CI: 0.622-0.873). Calibration curves confirmed a high agreement between predicted and actual outcomes, and DCA validated the model's clinical utility.
CONCLUSION
The predictive model effectively forecasts 1-mo therapeutic outcomes for nAMD patients undergoing anti-VEGF therapy, enhancing personalized treatment planning.
Extralobar pulmonary sequestration in children with abdominal pain: Four case reports
Authors: Jiang Meng-Yuan , Wang Yuan-Xiang , Lu Zhi-Wei , Zheng Yue-Jie 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Extralobar pulmonary sequestration (ELS) with torsion is extremely rare, consequently, the diagnosis of ELS with torsion in children presents a challenge for clinicians. Herein, we report four cases of ELS with torsion that presented with abdominal pain, and further review the relevant literature to summarize the clinical features.
CASE SUMMARY
Four children presented to our department with abdominal pain. All underwent chest computed tomography, which revealed an intrathoracic soft tissue mass with pleural effusion. All four children underwent thoracoscopic resection of the identified pulmonary sequestration, and the vascular pedicle was clipped and excised. None of the patients experienced any postoperative complications.
CONCLUSION
Clinicians should consider the possibility of ELS with torsion in children presenting with abdominal pain as the chief complaint.

Preservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage: A Legal Comparison between Malaysian Act 645 and Japan 1950 Cultural Property Law
Authors: Mustafa Nurulhuda Adabiah , Abdullah Nuraisyah Chua 
Published: September 2024

The Malaysian National Heritage Act 2005 [Act 645] is a statute which intends to protect, conserve, and preserve not only Intangible Cultural Heritage, but tangible, underwater heritage, and natural sites. However, Act 645 is general in character compared to the Japan 1950 Cultural Property Law (Japan LPCP of 1950). The non-existence of a specific chapter on intangible cultural heritage portrays the incomprehensiveness of the law on intangible cultural heritage in Malaysia. The Japan LPCP of 1950 has often been signalled as one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive efforts of its kind, where observers have referenced the effort as a persuasive model for a cultural legislation of other countries. This paper adopts the qualitative doctrinal approach where comparative study between the position of the Malaysian Act 645 and of the Japan LPCP of 1950 is made. This paper suggests for the amendments to the Act 645 to better safeguard Malaysian intangible cultural heritage. It also suggests for a specific and comprehensive chapter on intangible cultural heritage in Act 645 that would better uphold the intangible cultural heritage. This paper provides significant findings and contributes to the advancement of literature in the field of intangible cultural heritage law. This promotes the betterment of a legal framework, hence, securing the better survival of intangible cultural heritage in a society with diverse cultural backgrounds.
