The Protocol for the Analysis of Aided Language Samples in Spanish: A Tutorial
Authors: Soto Gloria 
Published: February 2022

Purpose:
The purpose of this tutorial is to describe a tool and a procedure to support the collection and qualitative manual analysis of aided language samples in Spanish.

Method:
The Protocol for the Analysis of Aided Language Samples in Spanish (PAALSS) was developed from the present knowledge of Spanish language acquisition, and established procedures for the analysis of aided language samples. A draft version of PAALSS was distributed among 476 augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) service providers in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States, who provided feedback on their usability and applicability. The clinical application of PAALSS is illustrated through the analysis of three different language samples of an 8-year-old child who uses aided AAC.

Results:
The use of PAALSS allowed the child’s educational team to document the child’s strengths and to set therapy goals to address her needs, such as increasing the length of her utterances and other structures essential for grammaticalization including articles, adjectives, adverbs, diminutives, morphemes for gender and number, prepositions, and personal pronouns.

Conclusions:
PAALSS can be used to describe the expressive language use of children who use aided AAC in Spanish and are in the early stages of language development. PAALSS can also be used as a guide to set goals for and measure outcomes of language therapy along four domains of expressive language including vocabulary, morphology, grammatical complexity, and syntax.

Reducing conservatism in robust stability analysis and stabilisation of arbitrary switched linear systems
Authors: Bagherzadeh Mohammad Ali , Ghaisari Jafar 
Published: February 2022

AbstractParametric modelling of uncertainties has been considered for switched linear systems in the past few years to improve the efficiency of robust stability analysis. The main goal of this paper is simultaneously alleviating conservatism and computational effort for robust stability analysis and stabilisation of arbitrary switched linear systems with uncertain parameters. For this purpose, stability conditions are revised and some constraints are relaxed. First, an improved weighted stability bound is proposed which is larger than previous results. Since the obtained stability bound depends on the chosen Lyapunov function, an optimisation problem is also given to determine its maximum value. Then, using the stability results, robust stabilisation of parametric uncertain switched linear systems under arbitrary switching is investigated. In this regard, a design method is presented to offer a static state feedback control law. The conservatism of the proposed control law is reduced by relaxing the constraint on upper bound of a matrix variable. Finally, illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
A short‐term electricity consumption forecasting approach based on feature processing and hybrid modelling
Authors: Wei Minjie , Wen Mi , Luo Junran 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe short‐term electricity consumption forecasting can help to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the power system. Power companies usually need to report the electricity consumption of the current month five to seven days in advance and make a power generation plan for the next month. The existing studies are usually lack of appropriate feature selection methods and hard to achieve satisfactory results. This paper proposes a short‐term electricity consumption forecasting approach based on feature processing and hybrid modelling. The maximum information coefficient (MIC) is employed to analyse the feature correlation, the electricity consumption curves are converted to several sub‐sequences of different frequency bands by the variational mode decomposition (VMD) to describe signal characteristics accurately, a hybrid model based on bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) is innovated to extract the temporal and spatial features of the data and capture the contextual information from the complete time series, attention mechanism is used to do extract useful information and assign weights to make forecast. Compared with several benchmark methods, the proposed approach achieves better electricity consumption curve fitting and higher forecasting accuracy with the increase of forecasting step size.
A low‐profile dual‐mode antenna for unmanned aerial vehicles applications
Authors: Zhang Rui , Sun Baohua , Huang Xiaotian 
Published: February 2022

AbstractA low‐profile dual‐mode antenna is proposed in this paper. The antenna is composed of a semi‐rectangular‐annular (SRA) coaxial line with sleeve loading structures vertically mounted on the ground plane. The proposed antenna has two radiation modes, mode 1 of the vertically polarised (VP) radiation characteristics at 500 MHz and mode 2 of the horizontally polarised (HP) radiation characteristics at 588 MHz. The two vertical components of the SRA coaxial line contribute to the VP radiation, which is achieved with the in‐phase electric currents on the two vertical components by adjusting the length of the in‐body inductive loading structures. The horizontal component of the SRA coaxial line is mainly contributed to HP radiation when the electric currents on two vertical components are reversed. And the antenna is well matched with the additional impedance matching network, which consists of two inductors and a capacitor. The height of the fabricated prototype is only 25.9 mm (about 0.04λ) at 500 MHz. The fabricated prototype possesses monopole‐like radiation pattern at 500 MHz and loop‐antenna‐like radiation pattern at 588 MHz. The measured maximum gain of the proposed antenna at 500 MHz is −6.8 dBi, and the measured maximum gain of the proposed antenna at 588 MHz is 2.5 dBi. The antenna is suitable for unmanned aerial vehicles communication systems due to its advantages of low‐profile and dual‐mode radiation.

The conservation laws are also identified for the models.
A target anti‐occlusion method based on image processing and trajectory prediction in electro‐optical tracking system
Authors: Xia Wenqiang , Duan Qianwen , Deng Jiuqiang , Mao Yao 
Published: February 2022

AbstractIn the electro‐optical tracking system, due to the full occlusion of clouds or buildings, the traditional tracking algorithm fails to work effectively. In the authors’ study, a dual‐channel anti‐occlusion scheme based on image processing and trajectory prediction is proposed. On the one hand, the image‐processing unit plays a significant role in evaluating the occlusion state of the target. An improved image occlusion judgement method based on Bhattacharyya coefficient occlusion judgement is proposed, and the ability to resist background interference and rapidity of the algorithm is enhanced. On the other hand, according to the different occlusion states, the dual operation modes of tracking and prediction are usually set. When the target is completely occluded, the prediction mode based on a robust predictive filtering method is investigated to predict the real‐time trajectory of the target more accurately. Image occlusion judgement and trajectory prediction can solve the occlusion problems in tracking control. Otherwise, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by experiments.The cover image is based on the Research Article A target anti‐occlusion method based on image processing and trajectory prediction in electro‐optical tracking system by Yao Mao et al., https://doi.org/10.1049/rsn2.12235.

Authors: Wang Rong , Chen Xin , Xiong Zhi , Zhang Huiyuan , Liu Jianye 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe collaborative exchange of information between members of a cluster can provide additional observations to improve the reliability of navigation. To address the problems of poor geometric configurations of satellites and low positioning accuracy of satellite navigation systems in complex environments, this paper proposes a collaboration‐augmented navigation method with optimisation of the geometric dilution of precision for a clustered aircraft. A collaboration‐augmented navigation model is established in which the differences between the characteristics of satellite pseudorange measurements and collaborative information measurements are taken into consideration to overcome heteroscedasticity. Then, an optimal collaboration‐augmented navigation algorithm is proposed on the basis of geometric configuration analysis. In this method, all visible satellites are projected onto the current horizontal plane, and in accordance with the satellite distribution, a satellite reference ring is constructed to determine the optimal collaborative area for an aircraft. Then, a collaborative aircraft selection is made to select an optimal aircraft to assist the satellite navigation system for configuration optimisation. Finally, the algorithm performance is simulated and verified by simulation, and the influence of the equivalent ranging error on the effectiveness of geometric configuration optimisation is analysed, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Published: February 2022

AbstractPolyacrylamide-based waterborne microgels were prepared with copolymerized carboxylic acid and tertiary amine moieties. The colloidal gels were loaded with palladium nanoparticles and utilized for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of amino acids and peptides. The thermoresponsive properties of the prepared microgels were characterized by means of photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) at solvent conditions of the catalytic reaction. The localization and morphology of the incorporated nanoparticles were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of N
α-Boc-4-iodophenylalanine and N
α-Boc-7-bromotryptophan with phenylboronic acid was carried out under ambient atmosphere in water at 20, 37, and 60 °C, respectively. The properties of the thermoresponsive microgel showed a strong influence on the reactivity and selectivity towards the respective substrate. For the amine containing microgels, a recyclability for up to four cycles without loss in activity could be realized. Furthermore, the systems showed good catalytic activity regarding Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of halogenated amino acids in selected tri- and tetrapeptides.

Abstract
Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a reliable and efficient modality for detecting pancreatic tumors; however, plain EUS (P-EUS) is limited with respect to characterization of pancreatic tumors. Recently, the use of contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS) has increased, and its utility for characterization of pancreatic tumors has been reported. This meta-analysis compares the diagnostic ability of P-EUS with that of CH-EUS for characterization of pancreatic tumors.
Methods A systematic meta-analysis of all potentially relevant articles in PubMed, the Cochrane library, and Google Scholar databases was performed. Fixed effects or random effects models were used to investigate pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio, with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs).
Results This meta-analysis included 719 patients who underwent CH-EUS and 723 who underwent P-EUS, from six eligible studies. The pooled estimates of sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio were 93 % (95 % CI, 0.90–0.95), 80 % (95 % CI, 0.75–0.85), and 57.9 (95 % CI, 25.9–130), respectively, for CH-EUS, and 86 % (95 % CI, 0.82–0.89), 59 % (95 % CI, 0.52–0.65), and 8.3 (95 % CI, 2.8–24.5) for P-EUS. The areas under the summary receiver operating characteristics curves for CH-EUS and P-EUS were 0.96 and 0.80, respectively. The diagnostic odds ratio for pancreatic cancer was 2.98 times higher on CH-EUS than on P-EUS (P = 0.03). Funnel plots demonstrated no publication bias.
Conclusions This meta-analysis demonstrates that CH-EUS has higher diagnostic accuracy for pancreatic cancer than P-EUS, and is thus a valuable tool for characterization of pancreatic tumors.

Published: February 2022

AbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease diagnosed in veterinary practice. There is no cure; where conservative treatment fails, a joint prosthesis is the last resort. In human OA patients, temporary distraction is a joint-preserving treatment which provides clinical and structural benefits, and postpones the need for total knee replacement for up to 9 years. In this single case, feasibility of knee joint distraction (KJD) was assessed in a 9-year-old female Dobermann with severe OA. Osteoarthritis of the left stifle joint was diagnosed clinically and radiographically. Knee joint distraction was applied for 7 weeks using a custom-made, hinged, external fixator. Follow-up of 1 year included owner questionnaires, orthopaedic examination, radiography, and force plate analysis. Additionally, synovial fluid biomarkers were assessed. Application and removal of the KJD frame were successfully accomplished without surgical complications. During KJD, the dog tolerated the frame well and maintained the use of the left hindlimb. Mild pin tract infection developed during the distraction period, which responded well to oral antibiotic medications. Owners reported clinical improvement during KJD and the follow-up period. This was confirmed by force plate analysis, demonstrating improvement from 3 months and onward. KJD proved to be a feasible strategy to treat end-stage OA in this single case; clinical efficacy remains to be determined in a larger cohort.
Neuropsychiatric Treatments for Epilepsy: Nonpharmacological Approaches
Authors: Lopez Maria Raquel , Kanner Andres M. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractNeuropsychiatric conditions are frequently found in patients with epilepsy (PWE). These entities can be as disabling as epilepsy resulting in a significant negative impact on the quality of life of this population if not addressed and treated appropriately. In this article, we provide an overview of non-pharmacological treatments currently available to these patients—and review their effect on mood and anxiety disorders as well as epilepsy. These treatment strategies will allow the practitioner to optimize clinical care during the initial evaluation, which begins with the recognition of the neuropsychiatric condition followed by the appropriate individualized psychotherapeutic approach and/or neuromodulation therapy. To plan a comprehensive treatment for PWE, practitioners must be familiar with these therapeutic tools. Additional clinical research is needed to further create a multidisciplinary team in the assessment and management of neuropsychiatric disorders in PWE.
Microwave Ablation of Spinal Osteoid Osteoma—Role of Air Insulation
Authors: Yadav Ajit , Seth Raghav , Gupta Arun 
Published: February 2022

AbstractOsteoid osteomas are benign tumors seen in children and young adults. The management options include surgical resection and percutaneous ablation. In the present scenario, percutaneous ablation is the preferred modality, as it is minimally invasive, safe, and reliable. However, when the tumor is near a heat-vulnerable structure, thermal injury can occur.We report the case of spinal osteoid osteoma in a young female that was treated by microwave ablation (MWA) with air insulation to prevent heat injury to the spinal cord. Currently, there is paucity of literature describing the use of air insulation with MWA. In this report, we describe the technique, advantages, and limitations of using air insulation with MWA.
Prolonged Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis May Not Be Necessary for DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: A Tertiary Center's 10-Year Experience
Authors: Huang Hao , Bernstein Jaime L. , Otterburn David M. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background Based on the 2005 Caprini Risk Assessment Model for venous thromboembolism, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons prevention guidelines would result in prolonged chemoprophylaxis (1 week or more) for the majority of patients undergoing deep inferior epigastric perforator flap breast reconstruction. We aim to assess the necessity of prolonged prophylaxis by describing our institutional experience in thromboembolism prevention and evaluating the incidence of symptomatic VTE in our patient cohort.
Methods Women who underwent DIEP flap reconstruction from August 2011 to March 2020 at a tertiary care center were included. Charts were retrospectively reviewed for patient characteristics, VTE prophylaxis regimens, and development of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism within 60 days of surgery. Caprini scores were calculated for all patients.
Results Out of the 249 patients included in the study, 245 patients received chemoprophylaxis only during hospitalization, while four patients additionally received anticoagulant for at least 2 weeks after discharge for prophylactic or therapeutic indications. The cohort's average Caprini score was 6.0, with 72.7% of scores between 3 and 6 and 26.5% at 7 or higher. One patient (0.4%), who scored a 7 and received prophylaxis only while hospitalized, developed deep vein thrombosis. There were no cases of pulmonary embolism. There was no significant difference in VTE rate between patients who received chemoprophylaxis consistent with ASPS guidelines and those who did not (p = 1.000).
Conclusion Despite our limited chemoprophylaxis use in DIEP flap patients, our VTE incidence is low. This current work suggests that the blanket application of prolonged prophylaxis is not warranted, and it further serves as impetus to re-evaluate the 2005 Caprini RAM in this patient population.

Abstract
Background The incidence of synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC) has progressively increased, due to recent advances in imaging. To date, no guidelines defining recommendations for patients' selection and no standard treatment of cases with SMPLC have been defined.The primary aim of this systematic review was to assess survival among patients treated with lobectomy or sublobar resection MPLC.
Methods Comprehensive literature search of Medline, the Cochrane Library, reference lists, and ongoing studies was performed according to a prospectively registered design (PROSPERO: CRD42019115487). All studies published between 1998 and December 2020 that examined treatments with lobectomy compared to sublobar resection were included. Two double-blind investigators independently selected articles.Primary outcomes were to assess the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate among patients treated with lobectomy or sublobar resection and the impact of lymph node status on 5-year OS and 5-year disease-free survival in patients with MPLC.
Results The search yielded 424 articles; 4 observational studies met the inclusion criteria and collectively evaluated 298 patients with a mean age ranging from 61.5 to 67 years. A total of 112 patients were treated for bilateral synchronous tumors and 186 patients for unilateral multiple synchronous tumors. All included studies showed that the type of resection, lobectomy or limited resection, had no significant impact on survival.
Conclusion Limited resection is a valuable treatment option for MPLC. However, the clinical level of evidence of the studies found is low and randomized studies are needed to clarify the extent of resection in MPLC.
