Authors: Zhang Zhaolin , Leng Song , Xie Tianpeng , Yuan Yuanhu , Wang Xiaoning 
Published: August 2023

ObjectivesWe aimed to probe the safety and effectiveness of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) with a suctioning ureteral access sheath (S-UAS) for removing upper urinary calculi under local anesthesia (LA).Materials and methodsThe clinical data of 56 patients with upper urinary calculi treated by FURL with an S-UAS under LA during the period between September 2019 and November 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. For LA, intramuscular pethidine (1.0–2.0 mg/kg) and phenergan (25 mg) were administered 30 min prior to surgery, and oxybuprocaine hydrochloride gel was administered through the urethra at the start of the surgery. The S-UAS and flexible ureteroscope were used for FURL. Demographic characteristics, stone-related parameters, and clinical outcomes were analyzed.ResultA total of 66 procedures were performed successfully on 46 patients (Group A), who underwent unilateral surgeries, and on 10 patients (Group B) who underwent same-session bilateral surgeries. All 56 patients were operated upon without altering the anesthesia strategy, and none required additional analgesia. The mean stone sizes of the Group A and Group B patients were 20.24 ± 5.45 mm and 29.40 ± 3.89 mm, respectively. The mean operative times of the two groups were 53.04 ± 13.35 min and 90.00 ± 15.81 min, respectively. In Group A, the stone-free rates (SFRs) were 76.1% (35/46) and 85.1% (40/46) at postoperative day 1 and day 30, respectively. In Group B, the SFRs were 80.0% (16/20) and 85.0% (17/20), respectively. Four (8.7%) patients in Group A suffered complications such as fever, stent pain, urosepsis, and steinstrasse. In Group B, one (10%) patient suffered from fever.ConclusionFURL, combined with an S-UAS under LA, is a feasible option and provides satisfactory clinical outcomes for appropriately selected patients.
Frequency Limits of Sequential Readout for Sensing AC Magnetic Fields Using Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond
Authors: Ghimire Santosh , Lee Seong-joo , Oh Sangwon , Shim Jeong Hyun 
Published: August 2023

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have the ability to sense alternating-current (AC) magnetic fields with high spatial resolution. However, the frequency range of AC sensing protocols based on dynamical decoupling (DD) sequences has not been thoroughly explored experimentally. In this work, we aimed to determine the sensitivity of the ac magnetic field as a function of frequency using the sequential readout method. The upper limit at high frequency is clearly determined by Rabi frequency, in line with the expected effect of finite DD-pulse width. In contrast, the lower frequency limit is primarily governed by the duration of optical repolarization rather than the decoherence time (T2) of NV spins. This becomes particularly crucial when the repetition (dwell) time of the sequential readout is fixed to maintain the acquisition bandwidth. The equation we provide successfully describes the tendency in the frequency dependence. In addition, at the near-optimal frequency of 1 MHz, we reached a maximum sensitivity of 229 pT/Hz by employing the XY4-(4) DD sequence.
Modern approaches to the diagnosis of xerostomia
Authors: Izrailov A. M. , Antonova I. N. 
Published: September 2023

Relevance. Xerostomia is a common problem that significantly deteriorates patients’ quality of life and contributes to the development of hard dental tissue diseases and inflammatory diseases of the oral mucosa. The study aimed to determine the informative value of xerostomia diagnosis methods.Material and methods. The study examined 45 people, namely, 36 patients with xerostomia and 9 relatively healthy individuals aged 38 to 64 years old. Prior radiation therapy, type 2 diabetes mellitus and medications caused xerostomia. Patients had a standard dental examination, repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST); clinical oral dryness score (CODS) and stimulated and unstimulated salivation flow rates were determined, salivary short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations were measured and the BANA test was done.Results. The RSST, CODS, stimulated and unstimulated salivation showed significant differences between relatively healthy individuals and patients with xerostomia. The measurement of SCFA concentrations revealed significant differences in the acetic acid concentration (switching point is 0.376 mg/g), the concentration of all isoacids (switching point is 0.010 mg/g) and the anaerobic index (switching point is 0.248 units). Total concentration of isoacids and anaerobic index values significantly differed by xerostomia causes. The RSST result below 7 indicated the risk of xerostomia development.Conclusion. A complex of clinical and laboratory methods allows for the effective detection of changes in the condition of patients with dry mouth and the personalization of prognosis and treatment.
GP specialty trainees’ knowledge and values towards physical activity: a national survey of Scottish trainees
Authors: Leese Callum , Mann Robert H , Cockcroft Emma J , Abraham Kirstin 
Published: September 2023

BackgroundDespite the known benefits of physical activity (PA), one-third of adults in the UK fail to meet recommended levels of PA. PA promotion in primary care has been shown to be effective at improving PA in patients but implementation of PA promotion by GPs remains poor. Research has shown a need to improve PA education in undergraduate medical education, but, to the authors’ knowledge, no review of postgraduate medical education has been performed.AimTo assess the knowledge and values of general practice specialist trainees (GPSTs) towards PA promotion in Scotland.Design & settingCross-sectional survey distributed to GPSTs in Scotland.MethodA mixed-methods cross-sectional survey, informed by previous research, was developed and distributed to all (n= 1205) GPSTs in Scotland in December 2022. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse quantitative data. A content analysis of free-text responses was also performed.ResultsA total of 168 GPSTs responded, representing 13.9% of all GPSTs in Scotland. Of responders, 93.5% reported no previous experience in the subject of sports and exercise science and medicine. Overall, 38.9% of responders stated they were unaware of the current UK PA guidelines, with 33.9% unable to correctly identify the UK PA guidelines when presented with multiple choice options. In addition, 83.3% felt they had been inadequately trained to deliver PA advice during their medical training.ConclusionThis study highlights a lack of knowledge, confidence, and education in PA promotion in GPSTs in Scotland. Given the importance of primary prevention, this urgently needs to be addressed.
La biografia posible de José Lezama Lima

« Une biographie possible de José Lezama Lima ».
II n'y a pas de biographie consacrée à l'écrivain cubain José Lezama Lima. Cette communication analyse d'une part les raisons de cette absence et, d'autre part, expose un hypothétique modèle de récit biographique sur cet écrivain.
La première partie précise l'évolution des études à caractère biographique consacrées à Lezama, avant de caractériser les deux courants idéologiques qui prédominent dans ces études depuis « l'affaire Padilla » de 1971 : le courant représenté par les historiens exilés et le courant officiel qui représente le ministère de la Culture de Cuba.
À partir des postulats théoriques de Martine Boyer-Weinmann sur un modèle de biographie qui s'articule autour des paradoxes entre fiction et Histoire, entre intention et vérité, ce travail propose une typologie d'écriture biographique intellectuelle non fictive de Lezama Lima.
The Core Progress of Staggered PRF Modulation Technique in MTI Radar
Authors: Tang Lei 
Published: September 2023

<p>For a long-distance guard radar, MTI filter usually employs low staggered pulse repetition frequencies (PRF) modulation technique to overcome blind speed and detect the targets at low altitude in the presence of clutter. For a given ratio of the maximum-to-the minimum period, we find that there exists an optimum stagger ratios construction criterion (OSRCC) which can guarantee the first null depth minimum, and the associated estimation formula containing variable has been derived successfully. In addition, based on more understanding to the properties of staggered PRF, we introduce a new stagger ratios optimization method that is much simple, efficient and flexible. In brief, this paper has thoroughly deconstructed this important basic technique in radar system. </p>
Motion-based Lidar-camera Calibration via Cross-Modality Structure Consistency
Authors: Ou Ni 
Published: September 2023

<p>Hand-eye calibration is popular in targetless sensor calibration, as it just requires the motion information of each sensor. However, hand-eye calibration is not applicable in degenerate scenes, where sensor motion lacks sufficient rotation. In this article, we propose a novel motion-based method to address this problem. The robustness and accuracy of our method are verified on six sequences of the KITTI Odometry dataset. Furthermore, our codes will be public on https://github.com/gitouni/Spatial-Temporal-LiDAR-camera-Calibration after acceptance.</p>

Out2In: Towards Machine Learning Models Resilient to Adversarial and Natural Distribution Shifts
Authors: Amich Abderrahmen , Eshete Birhanu 
Published: August 2023

<p> Despite recent progress, the susceptibility of machine learning models to adversarial examples remains a challenge —which calls for rethinking the defense strategy. In this paper, we investigate the cause-effect link between adversarial examples and the out-of-distribution (OOD) problem. To that end, we propose Out2In, an OOD generalization method that is resilient to not only adversarial but also natural distribution shifts. Through an OOD to in-distribution mapping intuition that leverages image-to-image translation, Out2In translates OOD inputs to the data distribution used to train/test the model. First, we experimentally confirm that the adversarial examples problem is related to the wider OOD generalization problem. Then, through extensive experiments on three benchmark image datasets (MNIST, CIFAR10, and ImageNet), we show that Out2In consistently improves robustness to OOD adversarial inputs and outperforms state-of-the-art defenses by a significant margin, while preserving the exact accuracy on benign (in-distribution) data. Furthermore, it generalizes on naturally OOD inputs such as darker or sharper images </p>
