Published: January 2025

AbstractNowadays, resilience is a crucial attribute to be pursued in advanced shipboard DC microgrids. When the power distribution is zonal, the presence of autonomous‐controlled converters guarantees both power use and resiliency improvement. The adoption of bidirectional controlled devices ensures power routing among generating units, storage, and loads. Moreover, zonal electrical distribution systems are effective in applying the optimization algorithms for green, safe, and high‐performing ship operation. In zonal DC microgrids, real‐time cooperation among controlled converters through properly set communication protocols enables the ship mission achievement. To this aim, functional tests are to be done on such complex power infrastructure. The digital twin approach provides the de‐risking step before the onboard deployment for controlled systems and communication. A zonal DC shipboard microgrid is the case study to test the synergy between compiled models and power converters on two hardware in the loop platforms, then verified by experiment in this paper. The first platform exploits the Linux real time application interface on the average value models of converters. This solution is then compared with a platform that utilizes the Typhoon hardware in the loop environment, proposing a combination of average value models and detailed switching models for the real‐time emulation of controlled grid.
An optimal control for dual active bridge converter in battery charging applications

Published: January 2025

AbstractDual active bridge (DAB) converter is an ideal bidirectional DC/DC converter and serves as a core device for enabling bidirectional energy transfer in power router systems and energy storage units. In order to reduce power losses and battery damage during the charging process, a minimum current stress control scheme satisfying soft switching conditions is proposed. Additionally, a three‐stage charging of the battery is achieved based on voltage and current dual‐loop control. This article analyzes the working principles of the DAB converter using triple‐phase‐shift (TPS) modulation. By examining the switching modes and waveforms of the DAB converter under TPS modulation, the condition for achieving soft switching is determined. Furthermore, a combination of the Lagrange multiplier method (LMM) and the Karush‐Kuhn‐Tucker (KKT) algorithm is employed to ensure that the DAB converter operates under both soft switching and minimum current stress conditions. This approach simultaneously reduces both switching and conduction losses, thereby enhancing the charging efficiency of the battery. Finally, an experimental platform is established for validation, and the experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed modulation strategy.

Published: January 2025

AbstractHyperentangled swapping is a quantum communication technique that involves the exchange of hyperentangled states, which are quantum states entangled in multiple degrees of freedom, to enable secure and efficient quantum information transfer. In this paper, we demonstrate schematics for the hyperentanglement swapping between separate pairs of neutral atoms through the mathematical framework of atomic Bragg diffraction, which is efficient and resistant to decoherence, yielding deterministic results with superior overall fidelity. The utilised cavities are in a superposition state and interact with the incoming atoms off‐resonantly. Quantum information carried by the cavities is swapped through resonant interactions with two‐level auxiliary atoms. We also discuss entanglement swapping under a delayed‐choice scenario and provide a schematic generalisation covering multiple‐qubit scenarios. Finally, we introduce specific experimental parameters to demonstrate the experimental feasibility of the scheme.

AbstractMultiparametric MRI is a promising technique for noninvasive structural and functional imaging of the kidneys that is gaining increasing importance in clinical research. Still, there are no standardized recommendations for analyzing the acquired images and there is a need to further evaluate the accuracy and repeatability of currently recommended MRI parameters. The aim of the study was to evaluate the test-retest repeatability of functional renal MRI parameters using different image analysis strategies.Ten healthy volunteers were examined twice with a multiparametric renal MRI protocol including arterial spin labeling (ASL), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), blood-oxygen-dependent (BOLD) imaging, T1 and T2 mapping, and volumetry with an interval of one week. The quantitative results of both kidneys were determined by manual organ segmentation, ROI analysis, and automatic segmentation based on the nnUNet framework. Test-retest repeatability of each parameter was computed using the within-subject coefficient of variance (wCV) and the intraclass coefficient (ICC). Segmentation accuracy and inter-reader agreement were evaluated using the dice score.Structural tissue parameters (T1, T2) showed wCV (%) between 4 and 11 and an ICC between 0.2 and 0.8. Functional parameters (ASL, BOLD and DWI) showed wCV (%) between 3 and 38 and an ICC between 0.0 and 0.7. The highest variances between test-retest scans were observed in perfusion measurements with ASL and IVIM (wCV: 17–37%). Quantitative analysis of the cortex and medulla showed a better repeatability when acquired using manual segmentation compared to ROI-based image analysis. Comparable repeatability was achieved with manual and automatic segmentation of the total kidney.Reasonable repeatability was achieved for all MR parameters. Structural MR parameters showed better repeatability compared to functional parameters. ROI-based image analysis showed overall lower repeatability compared to manual segmentation. Comparable repeatability to manual segmentation as well as acceptable segmentation accuracy could be achieved with automatic segmentation.
A Proposed Role for Lymphatic Supermicrosurgery in the Management of Alzheimer's Disease: A Primer for Reconstructive Microsurgeons

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe relatively recent discovery of a novel lymphatic system within the brain meninges has spurred interest in how waste products generated by neurons and glial cells—including proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology such as amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau—are disposed of. Evidence is building that suggests disease progression in AD and other cognitive impairments could be explained by dysfunction in the brain's lymphatic system or obstruction of drainage. An interesting implication of this hypothesis is that, by relieving the obstruction of flow, lymphatic reconstruction along the drainage pathway could serve as a potential novel treatment. Should this concept prove true, it could represent a surgical solution to a problem for which only medical solutions have thus far been considered. This study is meant to serve as a primer for reconstructive microsurgeons, introducing the topic and current hypotheses about the potential role of lymphatic drainage in AD. A preview of current research evaluating the feasibility of lymphatic reconstruction as a surgical approach to improving Aβ clearance is provided, with the aim of inspiring others to design robust preclinical and clinical investigations into this intriguing hypothesis.

Aims and Objective This article studies the clinical outcome of patients with multiple myeloma who have renal failure at presentation.
Methodology Patients with multiple myeloma presenting with serum creatinine of more than or equal to 2 mg/dL from outpatient department at Sri Ram Cancer Centre, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, were screened for baseline serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Assessment was done at completion of 6 months from diagnosis—patients' clinical condition, renal response (serum creatinine and eGFR), and disease response as per the International Myeloma Working Group criteria.
Results Final response assessment was done at a follow-up of 6 months. Half of the patients achieved a renal complete response; the highest being in the lenalidomide group (83.3%). Patients with eGFR < 15 mL/min/m2 at presentation fared poorly versus those with eGFR > 15 mL/min/m2. Patients who were dialysis-dependent at baseline had poorer renal responses as compared with those who were dialysis-independent. Out of six patients who were initially dialysis-dependent, four (66.6%) became dialysis-independent after treatment.
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Colon Cancer: Surgical and Oncologic Outcomes since the Clinical Outcomes of Surgical Therapy Trial
Authors: Westfal Maggie , Curran Thomas 
Published: January 2025

AbstractMultiple randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the short-term recovery benefits of laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer while maintaining noninferior long-term oncologic outcomes relative to open surgery. These short- and long-term results have been validated in large observational trials with the widespread adoption of laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer. Subsequent advances in minimally invasive technique including robotic colectomy, intracorporeal anastomosis, and natural orifice extraction may preserve or augment the benefits of minimally invasive surgical treatment for colon cancer although data in these areas are less robust.

Published: January 2025

AbstractMeningioangiomatosis is a rare entity, commonly affecting leptomeninges and the cerebral cortex. It presents in the second decade of life with drug-resistant epilepsy. Meningioangiomatosis lacks a typical computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging appearance, making the presurgical diagnosis a challenge. Diagnosis often depends on recognizing gyriform cortical patterns with or without calcification. This report presents two biopsy-proven cases of meningioangiomatosis with entirely different imaging features. Postsurgical excision carries a favorable prognosis.

Published: January 2025

AbstractMiddle ear and the tympanic membrane are complex structures. Anatomy is destroyed in cases with extensive inflammation. It is better to avoid middle ear surgical intervention in such cases until the inflammation subsides. Here, we present a 70-year-old immunocompromised male, who presented with foul-smelling discharge from the right ear and a painful swelling over right side of the neck, diagnosed as a case of coalescent mastoiditis with abscess along the digastric muscle. Patient was successfully managed with initial incision and drainage of the abscesses and intravenous antibiotics without manipulating the middle ear and external auditory canal.

Abstract
Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant cause of disability and death worldwide. It is important to have affordable and accessible biomarkers to assess the prognosis of patients. This study investigated the prognostic significance of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) serum levels in individuals with TBI.
Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional analytical study, CGRP levels were measured at admission, 24 hours, and 1 week after hospitalization. Patients were divided into two groups based on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score at admission: patients with mild/moderate TBI (GCS 9–15) and patients with severe TBI (GCS score 3–8), and CGRP levels were compared between the two groups.
Results A total of 102 patients with TBI were included. Higher levels of CGRP were observed in all three stages of measurement (at admission, 24 hours, and 1 week after hospitalization) in severe TBI patients. The occurrence of CGRP levels of 2 to 10 ng/L or higher than 10 ng/L in the mild/moderate and severe groups upon admission was 68.6 and 91%, respectively (p < 0.001). Within 24 hours of hospitalization, a more significant decrease in CGRP levels to lower ranges (> 0.5 and 0.5–2 ng/L) was observed in mild/moderate TBI patients (51.5%) compared with the severe group (19.4%). As indicated by logistic regression analysis, increased CGRP levels were directly associated with a higher risk of severe TBI.
Conclusion The increase in CGRP level is directly related to the risk of severe TBI. Investigating the ability of CGRP as an easy and accessible biomarker to predict the prognosis of TBI patients is recommended in future studies.
An integrated framework to guide evidence-informed public health policymaking
Authors: Haby Michelle M. , Reveiz Ludovic , Thomas Rebekah , Jordan Helen 
Published: January 2025

AbstractEvidence-informed policymaking emphasizes that policy decisions should be informed by the best available evidence from research and follow a systematic and transparent approach. For public health policymaking we can learn from existing practices of transparent, evidence-informed decision-making for clinical practice, medicines, and medical technology. We review existing evidence-to-decision frameworks, as well as frameworks and theories for policymaking to address the political dimension of policymaking, and use this analysis to propose an integrated framework to guide evidence-informed policymaking. The framework includes nine decision-making criteria and allows for the addition of other context-specific criteria. It also emphasizes elements of the decision-making process that can give greater legitimacy, fairness, and transparency to the policy decision, such as the use of deliberative processes and assessment of conflicts of interest. We offer the framework as a tool to help government policy makers use evidence in a structured and transparent way when making decisions about public health policy options.
Think About Power
Authors: Allen Peter 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
There is a story commonly told about power: that it flows through political institutions that exist to ensure it is used in a certain way by certain people. Power is expected to turn up in a suit, behind a podium, cheered on by supporters. But is this the only kind of power? From people’s own lives, it is known that power comes in other, less visible, forms. There is power that operates largely in the background of societies, unelected and not invested in specific roles or offices; power that swishes around our the intimate relationships; and power that is encountered in the workplace as employees are told what they can do and when. It is this tension between visible power and less visible power, the question of how to control these different kinds of power, and what this means for the way societies work that this chapter is about.
Think About What You Want
Authors: Allen Peter 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Two questions shape this chapter: first, what should people want out of politics and, second, what do people want politics to be in their life? Politics is often seen as something separate from the rest of daily life. But whether one is highly politically engaged or not, when someone makes the political choices available to them, these choices are nonetheless very much about who they are and what they value in their lives. As such, political choices should (and will) reflect who people are, and at the same time, who people are is in part constituted by their political choices. Anybody looking for a more useful way to think about politics could do a lot worse than starting by trying to think in a more useful way about themselves—about what they value and what they want.
A dyadic stress induction tool for experimental investigation of adult patients with cancer and their family caregivers
Authors: Kim Youngmee , Carver Charles S , Tsai Thomas C , Ting Amanda , Spiegel David 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Medical illnesses are major stressors not only for the patients but also for their family caregivers, yet existing tools are inadequate to assess mechanistic response patterns to such stressors.

Purpose
We sought to validate a stress induction task that pertains to close relationships and health-related concerns with adult patients with cancer and their family caregivers.

Methods
Patients newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer (n = 123, 56 years old, 34% female, 60% Hispanic, 6.5 months post-diagnosis) and their family caregivers (55 years old, 66% female, 59% Hispanic) underwent an experimental session during which both individuals imagined a scenario where one person is hit by a car (patient) and the partner (caregiver) has no means to provide or seek out help for the victim. The session consisted of 6 phases: baseline, scenario provision, speech preparation, speech by caregiver, speech by patient, and recovery.

Results
Results of general linear modeling with repeated measures revealed that the task induced significant affective, stress, and cardiovascular responses in both patients and caregivers. Stress reactivity and recovery patterns, however, varied by patients versus caregivers, stress induction phases, and the types of assessment.

Conclusions
Findings suggest the newly developed stress task as an acceptable tool for studying stress regulation in medical and family contexts. With further validation, this tool may help identify psychological and physiological pathways to improve the stress coping outcomes of adult patients with cancer and their family caregivers.
Early mobilisation after hip fracture surgery reduces the risk of infection: an inverse probability of treatment weighted analysis
Authors: Hjelholt Thomas Johannesson , Andersen Ina Trolle , Kristensen Morten Tange , Pedersen Alma Becic 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Mobilisation within the first day following hip fracture surgery is recommended. However, an in-depth analysis of the association between early mobilisation and the risk of infection is lacking.

Objective
To examine the association between early mobilisation and the subsequent risk of hospital-treated infections following hip fracture surgery.

Methods
Using nationwide registries, we included 36 229 patients aged ≥65 who underwent surgery for hip fracture (2016–21). Exposure was time from surgery to first mobilisation in hours. Outcomes were any hospital-treated infection, pneumonia, urinary tract infection and sepsis within 2–30 days and reoperation due to surgical-site infection within 2–365 days of surgery. We calculated cumulative incidences (risks), risk differences (RD) and hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using the inverse probability of treatment (IPT) weighted method to account for confounding.

Results
Overall, 27 174 (75%) patients were mobilised ≤24 h, 2890 (8%) between 24 and 36 h, and 6165 (17%) were mobilised &gt;36 h of surgery or had no registration of mobilisation time.
In the weighted analysis, the risk of any infection was 12.9% (CI 11.7%–14.2%) in patients mobilised 24–36 h of surgery and 10.9% (CI 10.5%–11.7%) in those mobilised ≤24 h, corresponding to RD of 2.0% (CI 0.7–3.3) and HR of 1.2 (CI 1.1–1.3). Similar associations were observed for pneumonia and urinary tract infection but not for sepsis and reoperation.

Conclusions
Infection is a common complication after hip fracture surgery. Mobilisation within 24 h is clearly associated with reduced infection risk. Our results emphasise the importance of early mobilisation and suggest a possible pathway for reducing complications and mortality after hip fracture.
The rise and fall of parochialism: Colombia and the New York Convention
Authors: Mantilla Blanco Sebastián , Zuleta Jaramillo Eduardo , Zuleta Ríos Santiago 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The New York Convention is the blueprint of the international arbitration system. The history of the Convention in Colombia reveals the complexity of the interactions between domestic decision-makers and international law. Even though Colombia was an active participant in the 1958 Conference on International Arbitration, congressional approval for the Convention proved a challenging crusade. Decades of setbacks concluded with the ratification of the Convention in 1979, only to be followed by a new challenge, as the law approving the treaty was declared unconstitutional in 1988. The Convention was re-approved in 1990. From 1990 to 2011, however, the Supreme Court was reluctant to apply the Convention in accordance with its spirit. In 2011, the Court turned around its own jurisprudence on arbitration, adopting a pro-arbitration approach that has lasted until today. The Court has dealt with many aspects of the Convention, including its interaction with domestic rules of civil procedure, the notion of arbitral award, public policy, reciprocity, and the interplay between the New York Convention and other international treaties. The history of the Convention in Colombia is a global south example of the manifold challenges involved in the use and implementation of international law instruments at the domestic level.
