Artificial Intelligence with Great Potential in Medical Informatics: A Brief Review
Authors: Lin Hao 
Published: February 2024

In the 1950s and 1960s, in molecular biology, information technology was mainly applied to the molecular evolution of proteins and DNA, and later expanded to multiple fields such as sequence alignment, protein structure prediction, and gene splicing. Entering the 21st century, the completion of the Human Genome Project marks the arrival of the era of biomedical big data, providing a large amount of data for the application of artificial intelligence in this field. Especially in recent years, the continuous accumulation of medical data has pushed the application of artificial intelligence in the medical field to a broader and more practical level. This paper briefly introduces the applications of artificial intelligence in genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics, drug development, and other fields. I hope this review can clearly introduce which biomedical fields artificial intelligence can be applied to, and also promote doctors and related scholars to actively use artificial intelligence technology to solve specific biomedical problems.

Abstract

Background
Silicon in plants is a structuring element that promotes water and
saline stress tolerance and decreases transpiration. The silica
accumulated in the cuticle establishes a physical barrier and helps
fight against pests and diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate
the development of ipê-roxo (Handroanthus
impetiginosus) seedlings in different environments,
and the application of potassium silicate and its efficiency in
mitigating the attack of pests and diseases.

Methods
The experiment was carried out in an agricultural greenhouse and
under full sun with silicic doses of 0 and 7.15 mg per plant in a
completely randomized design arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial scheme, with
6 replications of 4 seedlings per plot. Plant height, chlorophyll, stem
diameter, number of leaves, shoot dry matter, root dry matter, total dry
matter, height-diameter ratio, root-shoot ratio, root-plant ratio,
Dickson quality index, disease severity, and pest intensity were
evaluated.

Results
Silicon application did not confer biometric qualities to the
seedlings. The application of silicon conferred 24.6% higher protection
against disease severity at a 90% probability level. The protected
environment promoted 48.8% more protection against the attack of pests
on the seedlings. The silicon application decreases the intensity of
pests in the protected environment by 36.3%. Seedlings in a protected
environment increase the production of chlorophyll but are 29.6% more
susceptible to the severity of diseases. The full sun promoted greater
diameters, phytomass, and Dickson quality index by 18%, 73%, and 195%,
respectively.

Conclusions
The bestHandroanthus
impetiginosusseedlings were obtained under full sun.
Silicon mitigated the attack of pests and diseases
onHandroanthus
impetiginosusseedlings.
Food Culture in Belgium
Authors: Scholliers Peter 
Published: February 2024

Belgian food and drink, often overshadowed by the those of powerhouse neighbors France and Germany, receive much deserved attention in this thorough overview, the most comprehensive available in English. Belgian waffles, chocolate, and beer are renowned, but Food Culture in Belgium opens up the entire food culture spectrum and reveals Belgian food habits today and yesterday. Students and food mavens learn about the question of Belgianness in discussions of the foodways of distinct regions of Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels. Packed with daily life insight, consumption statistics, and trends gathered from the culinary community on the Web, this is the ultimate source for discovering what has been called the best-kept culinary secret in Europe.
Scholliers thoroughly covers the essential information in the topical chapters on history, major foods and ingredients, cooking, typical meals, special occasions, eating out, and diet and health. He is keen to illuminate how Belgium's unique food culture has developed through time. Before independence in 1830, Belgian regions had been part of the Celtic, Roman, Spanish, Austrian, French, Dutch, and German empires, and Belgium's central location has meant that it has long been a trade center for food products. Today, Brussels is the European Union administrative center and a cosmopolitan dining destination. Readers learn about the ingredients, techniques, and dishes that Belgium gave to the world, such as pommes frites, endive, and beer dishes. A timeline, glossary, selected bibliography, resource guide with websites and films, recipes, and photos complement the essays.
Food Culture in Southeast Asia
Authors: Esterik Penny Van 
Published: February 2024

Southeast Asian cuisines, such as Thai, have become quite popular in the United States even though immigrant numbers are low. The food is appealing because it is tasty, attractive, and generally healthful, with plentiful vegetables, fish, noodles, and rice. Food Culture in Southeast Asia is a richly informative overview of the food and foodways of the mainland countries including Burma, Thailand, Lao, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia, and the island countries of Singapore, Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Students and other readers will learn how diverse peoples from diverse geographies feed themselves and the value they place on eating as a material, social, and symbolic act.
Chapter 1, Historical Overview, surveys the archaeological and historical evidence concerning mainland Southeast Asia, with emphasis on the Indianized kingdoms of the mainland and the influence of the spice trade on subsequent European colonization. Chapter 2, Major Foods and Ingredients, particularly illuminates the rice culture as the central source of calories and a dominant cultural symbol of feminine nurture plus fish and fermented fish products, local fresh vegetables and herbs, and meat in variable amounts. The Cooking chapter discusses the division of labor in the kitchen, kitchens and their equipment, and the steps in acquiring, processing and preparing food. The Typical Meals chapter approaches typical meals by describing some common meal elements, meal format, and the timing of meals. Typical meals are presented as variations on a common theme, with particular attention to contrasts such as rural-urban and palace-village. Iconic meals and dishes that carry special meaning as markers of ethnic or national identity are also covered. Chapter 6, Eating Out, reviews some of the options for public eating away from home in the region, including the newly developed popularity of Southeast Asian restaurants overseas. The chapter has an urban, middle-class bias, as those are the people who are eating out on a regular basis. The Special Occasions chapter examines ritual events such as feeding the spirits of rice and the ancestors, Buddhist and Muslim rituals involving food, rites of passage, and universal celebrations around the coming of the New Year. The final chapter on diet and health looks at some of the ideologies underlying the relation between food and disease, particularly the humoral system, and then considers the nutritional challenges related to recent changes in local food systems, including food safety.

Sensory processing sensitivity is negatively associated with sensation seeking
Authors: Watten Reidulf G. , Volden Frode , Trå Hilde Visnes 
Published: February 2024

BackgroundThis study investigated the relationship between sensory processing sensitivity and sensation seeking.Participants and procedureThe sample consisted of 625 subjects (n women = 225, n men = 400). Sensory processing sensitivity was assessed using the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), and sensation seeking with the Arnett Inventory of Sensation Seeking (AISS).ResultsAISS accounted for 11.1% of the variance in HSPS. Regression analyses revealed a negative association between AISS Intensity and HSPS. There was no significant association between AISS Novelty and HSPS. Men exhibited lower scores on HSPS but displayed higher scores on AISS Novelty and AISS Intensity compared to women.ConclusionsWe found gender differences and a negative association between sensory processing sensitivity and the intensity dimension of sensation seeking. The results confirm that HSPS captures the intensity of complex sensory stimulation. Sensory processing sensitivity and sensation seeking could be seen as theoretically connected and overlapping phenomena.
Diagnostic validity of abbreviated breast MRI in the diagnosis of breast cancer: a comparative study to the full breast MRI protocol using BI-RADS
Authors: Ebaid Noha Yahia , Assy Mostafa Mohamad , Alaa Eldin Ahmed M. 
Published: February 2024

PurposeThis work aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) breast abbreviated protocol (AP) in diagnosing malignant breast lesions using BI-RADS compared with the diagnostic accuracy of the full diagnostic protocol (FDP).Material and methodsA prospective single-centre study was conducted. A total of 125 female patients with suspicious breast masses underwent MRI with the AP and the FDP. The images of AP and FDP were independently interpreted by 2 radiologists with 10 years of experience in breast imaging, and any disagreement was resolved with a third one. Using the histopathological examination as a reference test, the diagnostic effectiveness of both FDP and AP in breast cancer screening was calculated. ROC curve was utilised to estimate the optimal BI-RADS cut-off for prediction of malignancy. The difference in image interpretation time between both protocols was estimated using the Mann-Whitney test. Moreover, the inter-test agreement between both protocols was assessed using Cohen’s κ test.ResultsThe study included 83 malignant and 42 benign lesions. AP indicated a specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of 90.5%, 96.4%, and 94.4%, while the FDP showed a specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of 92.9%, 100%, and 97.6%, respectively. BI-RADS 3 category was the best cut-off for prediction of malignancy. There was a significant difference between both protocols concerning the interpretation time (<i>p</i> < 0.001). There was excellent agreement between both protocols, with a κ of 0.915.ConclusionsBreast MRI AP may be employed instead of FDP to identify breast cancer with similar diagnostic performance. Moreover, it reduces the interpretation time and the scan cost.

Mục tiêu: Xác định tình trạng bộc lộ dấu ấn P16 và đối chiếu với đặc điểm giải phẫu bệnh của ung thư biểu mô tuyến dạ dày (UTBMTDD) theo TCYTTG 2019. Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Mô tả cắt ngang trên 96 bệnh nhân được chẩn đoán UTBMTDD tại bệnh viện Bạch Mai. Kết quả nghiên cứu: P16 dương tính khi ≥ 10% các tế bào u bắt màu nhân và bào tương và <10% các tế bào u bắt màu thì coi là âm tính. Trên 96 mẫu nghiên cứu, tỉ lệ p16 dương tính chiếm 54,2% và p16 âm tính là 45,8%. Tình trạng mất bộc lộ p16 tương quan có ý nghĩa thống kê với kích thước u (p=0,019), độ nảy chồi u (p=0,023), tình trạng xâm nhập mạch (p=0,006), thần kinh (p=0,03) và di căn hạch (p=0,018). Không có mối tương quan có ý nghĩa thống kê giữa tình trạng bộc lộ p16 với vị trí u (p=0,458), hình thái u (p=0,137) , phân loại MBH theo TCYTTG 2019 (p=0,468), phân loại MBH theo Lauren (p=0,073), độ sâu xâm nhập (p= 0,122), di căn xa (p=0,33). Kết luận: P16 có thể sử dụng như một dấu ấn để tiên lượng, chẩn đoán trong nhiều loại ung thư khác nhau. Trong nghiên cứu của chúng tôi, p16 có mối liên quan chặt chẽ với các yếu tố tiên lượng của UTBMT dạ dày như kích thước u, độ nảy chồi u, tình trạng xâm nhập mạch bạch huyết, thần kinh và di căn hạch. Sự mất bộc lộ p16 của các tế bào u là yếu tố nguy cơ xấu hơn so với có bộc lộ p16 trong UTBMT dạ dày

Đặt vấn đề: Viêm cơ tim cấp là bệnh lý có đặc điểm lâm sàng rất đa dạng và tiên lượng bệnh phụ thuộc vào mức độ nặng của biểu hiện lâm sàng. Khoảng 12% bệnh nhân viêm cơ tim cấp có biến chứng suy tim cấp, rối loạn nhịp tim, rối loạn chức năng thất trái. Ở những bệnh nhân choáng tim do viêm cơ tim cấp, oxy hoá máu qua màng ngoài cơ thể phương thức động – tĩnh mạch (VA ECMO) là phương pháp điều trị an toàn và hiệu quả với tỉ lệ sống sót dao động 61,2 – 71,9%. Tại Việt Nam, VA ECMO cũng đã được áp dụng để điều trị choáng tim do viêm cơ tim cấp nhưng dữ liệu về hiệu quả điều trị và các yếu tố tiên lượng tử vong nội viện của biện pháp điều trị này còn hạn chế. Mục tiêu: Khảo sát kết cục nội viện và các yếu tố tiên lượng tử vong của bệnh lý viêm cơ tim cấp có hỗ trợ VA ECMO tại bệnh viện Chợ Rẫy trong thời gian từ 2019 – 2023. Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: Đây là nghiên cứu cắt ngang mô tả hồi cứu dựa trên hồ sơ. Nghiên cứu gồm 92 bệnh nhân được chẩn đoán viêm cơ tim cấp có hỗ trợ VA ECMO nhập viện bệnh viện Chợ Rẫy từ 01/01/2019 – 31/03/2023. Kết quả: Nghiên cứu ghi nhận được 92 trường hợp viêm cơ tim cấp có hỗ trợ VA ECMO với độ tuổi trung bình là 34,2 tuổi, nam giới chiếm 35,9%. Tần số tim và huyết áp trung bình lúc nhập viện lần lượt có giá trị là 121,4 ± 35,9 lần/phút và 68 (50 – 73,3) mmHg với chỉ số thuốc trợ tim vận mạch (VIS) được sử dụng trước ECMO là 40,15 (21,05 – 90,4). Có 9 bệnh nhân ngưng tim trước khi thực hiện ECMO (9,8%) và 4 trường hợp thực hiện ECMO trong điều kiện hồi sinh tim phổi (ECPR) (4,3%). Thời gian nằm viện trung vị là 16 ngày, thời gian chạy ECMO trung vị là 6 ngày và tỉ lệ tử vong là 16,3%. Trước VA ECMO, nồng độ lactate máu trung vị là 5 (3 – 8,9) mmol/L, nhóm xuất viện có nồng độ lactate máu thấp hơn so với nhóm tử vong (4,3 so với 10,4 mmol/L, p < 0,01). Trong 72 giờ đầu sau VA ECMO, nồng độ lactate máu có liên quan đến tử vong nội viện. Lactate máu tiếp tục tăng sau 48 – 72 giờ khởi động VA ECMO có khả năng dự báo tử vong nội viện với AUC lần lượt là 0,78 và 0,8. Kết luận: Tỉ lệ tử vong của viêm cơ tim cấp có hỗ trợ VA ECMO hiện nay giảm so với các nghiên cứu trước đây. Tăng lactate máu trước VA ECMO có liên quan đến tăng tử vong nội viện. Lactate máu còn tăng sau 48 – 72 giờ hỗ trợ VA ECMO có khả năng dự báo tốt nguy cơ tử vong nội viện.
Feria IV
Authors: Pescada Gonçalo 
Published: February 2024

Feria IV, an original work written for accordion by Franco Donatoni, reflects the singularity of a composer who marked his time for his unique genius and creativity, innovating musical writing with deep influences from Webern, Boulez and Stockhausen. Based on the idea that the previously presented material could be reformulated in such a way that it would never run out, Donatoni developed a Bricolage concept in his music, directing rhythms, causing rapid changes in texture and reusing the materials from one piece to another. A frequent participant in Darmstad summer courses composition, his music is characterized by constant expressiveness, lyricism, enthusiasm and exaltation of spirit. The article is presented in three sections: general notions about the composer and work, interpretive analysis and the interpreter's point of view conclusions about Donatoni’s concept as a catalyst for the creative process.

W pośmiertnym wspomnieniu o Wisławie Szymborskiej Wojciech Ligęza słusznie konkluduje, że jej:
Wybitna osobowość w całym swym skomplikowaniu bardzo trudno daje się uchwycić w porządku słów. Fotografie i filmy to złudna pomoc dla pamięci, gdyż rejestrują one tylko chwile wyjęte z następstwa czasu, ale też ukrywają coś ważnego poza kadrem. Może istotniejsza pozostanie niewyrażalna magia gestu, głosu, obecności, której zostaliśmy pozbawieni. Także poezja, jedyna taka w kulturze polskiej, pomimo narastających odczytań zachowa tajemnicę łączenia słów i powstawania znaczeń.
