Cortical activity during painful and non-painful stimulation over four lower limb body sites: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study
Authors: Liao Jiawen , Silvoni Stefano , Desch Simon , Serian Angela , Andoh Jamila , Flor Herta 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) holds potential utility as a measure of neural correlates of pain. However, most studies have focused on upper limb stimulation, with limited investigation into lower limbs. In this study, we utilized fNIRS to observe brain changes in oxyhemoglobin levels during painful and non-painful electrical stimulation of various lower limb sites (bilateral groins and knees) in 16 healthy participants. Additionally, we explored perceptual responses to painful and non-painful electrical stimulation across these lower limb sites. Our findings showed no significant main effect of stimulation across different body sites on oxyhemoglobin activity. However, the interaction between body sites, stimulation modalities, and brain regions significantly influenced oxyhemoglobin activity. Specifically, we found a decrease of neuro-metabolic activity in prefrontal and bilateral primary somatosensory cortices during painful stimulation of the left groin compared to non-painful stimulation, whereas an increase of neuro-metabolic activity was observed during painful stimulation of the right knee. Our findings also revealed that stimulation intensity was notably lower for bilateral knees compared to the left groin. These findings underscore the potential and feasibility of utilizing fNIRS to investigate pain mechanisms related to stimulation across distinct lower limb regions.

Authors: Jia Wei , Blair Steve , Sensale-Rodriguez Berardi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study presents an experimentally validated demonstration of an inverse-optimized binary phase-only gallium oxide diffractive optical element (DOE). This DOE transforms an incident Gaussian beam into a square flat-top beam at the working plane. The design methodology for this binary phase-only DOE beam shaper is founded on an efficient process that integrates the modified Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm and the adjoint method. Experimental characterization of the fabricated device on a single crystal
$$\:\left(\stackrel{-}{2}01\right)\:$$
gallium oxide substrate is conducted at a wavelength of 532 nm, confirming its ability to transform an incident Gaussian beam into a focused square flat-top beam. Such a device holds significant promise for various high-power laser applications, notably in laser welding and similar domains. Furthermore, because of the ultrawide bandgap of gallium oxide, DOEs operating at shorter wavelengths in the UV are also possible based on this technique.
AI can outperform humans in predicting correlations between personality items
Authors: Schoenegger Philipp , Greenberg Spencer , Grishin Alexander , Lewis Joshua , Caviola Lucius 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We assess the abilities of both specialized deep neural networks, such as PersonalityMap, and general LLMs, including GPT-4o and Claude 3 Opus, in understanding human personality by predicting correlations between personality questionnaire items. All AI models outperform the vast majority of laypeople and academic experts. However, we can improve the accuracy of individual correlation predictions by taking the median prediction per group to produce a “wisdom of the crowds” estimate. Thus, we also compare the median predictions from laypeople, academic experts, GPT-4o/Claude 3 Opus, and PersonalityMap. Based on medians, PersonalityMap and academic experts surpass both LLMs and laypeople on most measures. These results suggest that while advanced LLMs make superior predictions compared to most individual humans, specialized models like PersonalityMap can match even expert group-level performance in domain-specific tasks. This underscores the capabilities of large language models while emphasizing the continued relevance of specialized systems as well as human experts for personality research.
20 years of research on giant viruses
Authors: Bosmon Tressy , Abergel Chantal , Claverie Jean-Michel 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Some twenty years ago, the discovery of the first giant virus, Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (now mimivirus bradfordmassiliense species), paved the way for the discovery of more than 10 new families of protist-infecting DNA viruses with unexpected diversity in virion shape and size, gene content, genome topology and mode of replication. Following their brief description, we examine how the historical concepts of virology have held up in the light of this new knowledge. Although the initial emphasis was on the gigantism of the newly described viruses infecting amoebae, the subsequent discovery of viruses with intermediate virion and genome sizes gradually re-established a continuum between the smallest and largest viruses within the phylum Nucleocytoviricota.

Determining Optimal Talker Variability for Nonnative Speech Training: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis
Authors: Zhang Xiaojuan , Cheng Bing , Zou Yu , Zhang Yang 
Published: February 2025

Purpose:
This meta-analysis study aimed to determine the optimal level of talker variability in training to maximize second-language speech learning.

Method:
We conducted a systematic search for studies comparing different levels of talker variability in nonnative speech training, published through July 2024. Two independent reviewers screened studies for eligibility, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was implemented to estimate relative effect sizes of different talker variability training conditions and rank these conditions by their posterior probabilities using surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values.

Results:

A total of 32 studies involving 998 participants were analyzed to compare six training conditions based on the number of talkers. Using a no-training control condition as the reference and excluding the outlier, the random-effects model showed that training with six talkers was most effective (SUCRA = 94%, standardized mean difference [SMD] = 2.09, 95% CrI [1.30, 2.89]), exhibiting moderate between-study heterogeneity (posterior median
SD
= 0.60, 95% CrI [0.39, 0.90]). However, when considering both the format of talker presentation and training exposure, the conditions with four talkers presented in blocks across training sessions (SUCRA = 77%, SMD = 1.47, 95% CrI [0.92, 2.10]), two talkers intermixed during sessions (SUCRA = 75%, SMD = 1.65, 95% CrI [0.24, 3.03]), and six talkers intermixed (SUCRA = 72%, SMD = 1.38, 95% CrI [0.97, 1.79]), all showed similarly high effectiveness with only minor differences.

Conclusions:
This systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis demonstrate for the first time that optimizing talker variability in nonnative speech training requires a careful balance between the number of talkers and the presentation format. The findings suggest that a moderate level of talker variability is most effective for improving second-language speech training outcomes.

A multiscale and multilevel fusion network based on ResNet and MobileFaceNet for facial expression recognition
Authors: Ding Jiao , Zhang Tianfei , Yang Li , Hu Tianhan 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThere are complex correlations between facial expression and facial landmarks in facial images. The facial landmarks detection technology is more mature than the facial expression recognition methods. Considering this, in order to better address the problem of interclass similarity and intraclass discrepancy in facial expressions recognition (FER), facial landmarks are used to supervise the learning of facial expression features in our work, and a multiscale and multilevel fusion network based on ResNet and MobileFaceNet (MMFRM) is proposed for FER. Specifically, the authors designed a triple CBAM feature fusion module (TCFFM) that characterises the correlation between facial expression and facial landmarks to better guide the learning of expression features. Furthermore, the proposed loss function of removing facial residual features (RFLoss) can suppress facial features and highlight expression features. We extensively validate our proposed MMFRM on two public facial expression datasets, demonstrating the effectiveness of our method.
Deep‐learning‐based vehicle trajectory prediction: A review
Authors: Yin Chenhui , Cecotti Marco , Auger Daniel J. , Fotouhi Abbas , Jiang Haobin 
Published: February 2025

AbstractVehicle trajectory prediction enables autonomous vehicles to better reason about fast‐changing driving scenarios and thus perform well‐informed decision‐making tasks. Among different prediction approaches, deep learning‐based (DL‐based) methodologies stand out because of their capabilities to efficiently summarise historical data, infer nonlinear behavioural patterns from human driving data, and perform long‐horizon prediction. This work reviews the DL‐based methods that have shown promising results, organising them in terms of usage of the input data, separating the encodings of the target vehicle's historical data, surrounding vehicle's historical data, and road layout data. In particular, this paper explores the relationships between the scope of the prediction components and the input data formats, as well as the connections with other elements in the same prediction framework, including vehicle interaction and road scene mining. This information is crucial to understand complex architectural decisions and to provide guidance for the design of improved solutions. This work also compares the performance of the most successful prediction models, establishing that appropriate encodings of vehicle interactions and road scenes improve trajectory prediction accuracy, with the best performance achieved by attention mechanism and Transformer‐based models. Finally, this work discusses future research directions, including considerations for real‐time applications.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe low‐frequency transformer is a key measurement equipment for low‐frequency transmission engineering; the accuracy level of the low‐frequency transformer is generally difficult to be better than 0.05% due to the influence of core depth saturation at low frequency. Explore low‐frequency current proportional converters with higher accuracy, such as zero‐flux current transformers or compensated current comparators, because the current proportional standards of the above principles all work in the state of zero magnetic flux of the iron core, which is less affected by frequency and can be used to trace the value of low‐frequency current proportional value. In view of this, a self‐balancing low‐frequency current comparator was developed to compensate the excitation current of the iron core by using electronic circuits. In this paper, the basic principle of this low‐frequency self‐balancing current comparator is expounded, its error performance is analysed theoretically, and the error calibration test is carried out. On the surface of the test results, the accuracy of the low‐frequency self‐balancing current comparator meets the requirements of class 0.001, which can be used for the traceability of the measurement value of low‐frequency current.
Hämodialyse bei älteren Erwachsenen – Warum sollten die Ziele anders sein?
Authors: Haag Stefanie 
Published: February 2025

ZusammenfassungDie Zahl der älteren Erkrankten (> 75 Jahre) nimmt weiter zu. Die Hämodialyse (HD) ist eine etablierte Behandlung, die nach nationalen und internationalen klinischen Leitlinien zur optimalen Therapie erfolgt. Diese Leitlinien basieren auf einer weniger komorbiden Dialysepopulation, sodass ein individueller Ansatz für die Dialyseverordnung und den Gefäßzugang zu diskutieren sind. Eine verbliebene Nierenrestfunktion, ein geringeres Durstempfinden sowie ein reduzierter Appetit (mit drohender Mangelernährung) und eine geringe Muskelmasse oder körperliche Aktivität stehen bei den älteren Betroffenen im Vordergrund.

Published: February 2025

AbstractTreatment algorithms for anterior glenohumeral instability are evolving. Identification of soft tissue injuries remains important because stand-alone labrum and ligament repairs are a mainstay of primary intervention. Increasingly recognized is the importance of bone lesions, particularly the synergistic effects of bipolar bone loss in the glenoid track model. Accordingly, reporting and measurement of bone lesions is crucial to treatment planning, especially in patients with a failed Bankart repair. This review covers (1) anatomy related to anterior shoulder instability, (2) preoperative imaging assessment of soft tissue injuries, (3) postoperative imaging assessment of soft tissue injuries, (4) imaging techniques for soft tissue injuries, (5) preoperative imaging of bone injuries, and (6) postoperative imaging of bone injuries.

Published: February 2025

AbstractTendon and ligament disorders are common indications for ankle surgery. Numerous surgeries and related modifications, ranging from simple repairs and debridement to complex reconstructions with tendon transfers or graft, are available. Knowledge of postoperative imaging appearances of common ankle surgeries is critical to identify complications and aid assessment of clinical treatment failure. This comprehensive review article discusses the surgical indications, techniques, imaging appearances, and complications—specifically those related to minimally invasive or arthroscopic surgery—for various ankle and foot conditions. It includes anatomical (Brostrom type) and nonanatomical lateral ligament repairs for ankle instability. Medial compartment procedures are described, such as peroneal tendon and retinacular repairs, as well as treatments for progressive collapsing flatfoot deformity, formerly known as posterior tibial tendon dysfunction or acquired flatfoot deformity. We also examine posterior compartment procedures, focusing on Achilles tendon repairs. Primary imaging modalities covered are magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, computed tomography, and radiographs, including expected postoperative appearances and the usefulness of each modality.

Published: February 2025

AbstractCore muscle injuries constitute a significant source of pain and functional impairment among elite athletes. Understanding the anatomy and biomechanics centered at the pubic bone joint is necessary to interpret imaging findings. Dedicated athletic pubalgia magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in accurately diagnosing and assessing injuries affecting the pubic plate and associated muscular attachments. Preoperative findings can include harness muscle injury, pubic plate detachment, and/or osteitis pubis. Various surgical approaches are used for core muscle repair, requiring close collaboration with the referring surgeon during the interpretation of postoperative MRI. Although postoperative MRI can indicate healing progress, its primary usefulness lies in detecting new or exacerbated tears that may signify potential reinjury or surgical complications.

Malignant Bile Duct Obstruction: Role of a Multidisciplinary Team
Authors: Covey Anne M. , Schattner Mark 
Published: February 2025

AbstractMalignant bile duct obstruction (MBDO) can occur in patients with both primary liver cancers and metastatic disease and can be a cause of significant morbidity. Laboratory abnormalities or symptoms often prompt decompression to lower bilirubin for chemotherapy, treat cholangitis, and divert bile to treat a leak or alleviate pruritus. Intervention may also be undertaken to perform biopsy or provide access to intraductal therapies such as brachytherapy, photodynamic therapy, or radiofrequency ablation. There are multiple ways to achieve biliary decompression including percutaneous procedures performed by interventional radiologists, endoscopic procedures performed by advanced endoscopists, and biliary bypass performed by hepatobiliary surgeons. Which approach is undertaken depends on several factors including the performance status, life expectancy, level of obstruction, anatomy, and patient preference. Every intervention has inherent risks as well as potential benefits, and a review of these complex patients by a multidisciplinary team ensures all options are considered. Finally, some cases require the technique and expertise of more than one specialty to achieve the desired outcome. This article highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary team in dealing with MBDOs.

Authors: Miranda Ricardo Eustachio de 
Published: February 2025

Resumo
Introdução Procedimentos cirúrgicos estão sujeitos a diversas complicações no pós-operatório, sendo o hematoma um dos mais frequentes. Cirurgias que apresentam dissecção ampla, como as capsulectomias totais intactas, estão mais sujeitas a sangramentos. Diversas medicações têm sido utilizadas na diminuição dos hematomas, como o ácido tranexâmico. Não há na literatura médica artigos analisando a relação do ácido tranexâmico na incidência de hematomas nas cirurgias de capsulectomia total intacta.
Método Estudo retrospectivo em que foi levantado dados de prontuário para determinar a incidência de hematoma nas cirurgias de capsulectomia total intacta em dois grupos de pacientes. As pacientes foram submetidas a capsulectomia total intacta com ou sem mastopexia, não foi realizado nova inclusão de implante mamário. Um grupo de 140 pacientes recebeu ácido tranexâmico intravenoso e tópico durante a cirurgia e outro grupo de 140 pacientes não recebeu a medicação. Os dados foram coletados entre janeiro de 2022 e dezembro de 2023 e submetidos à análise estatística.
Resultados Os grupos foram considerados comparáveis e com distribuição normal. Foi verificado uma significância estatística do uso do ácido tranexâmico na diminuição de incidência de hematoma com valor de p = 0,004. Existe significância estatística para o tamanho do implante, a média ficou em 350ml para os casos com hematoma contra 291ml no grupo sem hematoma (valor de p = 0,020). Não houve associação ou p < 0,05 para as demais variáveis estudadas.
Conclusões O uso tópico e intravenoso de ácido tranexâmico reduz a incidência de hematoma no pós-operatório de cirurgias que envolvem capsulectomia total intacta em pacientes com implante mamário.
