Asymmetrical Lung Injury: Management and Outcome
Authors: Bastia Luca , Rozé Hadrien , Brochard Laurent J. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAmong mechanically ventilated patients, asymmetrical lung injury is probably extremely frequent in the intensive care unit but the lack of standardized measurements does not allow to describe any prevalence among mechanically ventilated patients. Many past studies have focused only on unilateral injury and have mostly described the effect of lateral positioning. The good lung put downward might receive more perfusion while the sick lung placed upward receive more ventilation than supine. This usually results in better oxygenation but can also promote atelectasis in the healthy lung and no consensus has emerged on the clinical indication of this posture. Recently, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has allowed for the first time to precisely describe the distribution of ventilation in each lung and to better study asymmetrical lung injury. At low positive-end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), a very heterogeneous ventilation exists between the two lungs and the initial increase in PEEP first helps to recruit the sick lung and protect the healthier lung. However, further increasing PEEP distends the less injured lung and must be avoided. The right level can be found using EIT and transpulmonary pressure. In addition, EIT can show that in the two lungs, airway closure is present but with very different airway opening pressures (AOPs) which cannot be identified on a global assessment. This may suggest a very different PEEP level than on a global assessment. Lastly, epidemiological studies suggest that in hypoxemic patients, the number of quadrants involved has a strong prognostic value. The number of quadrants is more important than the location of the unilateral or bilateral nature of the involvement for the prognosis, and hypoxemic patients with unilateral lung injury should probably be considered as requiring lung protective ventilation as classical acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Published: July 2022

AbstractThe classification of conjoint twins is based according to the site of attachment. The challenges in management of such anomalies span the entire continuum of care from delivery to resuscitation to separation and finally discharge. Scheduled separation is ideal, occasionally the caring team is faced with no option but to perform an emergent separation. Omphalopagus is a type of conjoined twinning characterized by union of the peritoneal cavities through an infraumbilical abdominal wall defect. In this report we describe our experience with a successful emergency separation of extremely preterm omphalopagus twins.This is the first case of conjoint twins in Kuwait, we highlight the challenges faced, stressing the importance of adhering to antenatal care as well as management by a multidisciplinary team.

Abstract
Background Currently, the most effective method in the fight against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is vaccination against the disease. However, there are hesitations among society concerning the safety and side effects of COVID-19 vaccines. We aimed to determine the observed side effects that require an emergency room visit after taking the BNT162b2 and CoronaVac vaccines.
Methods This prospective observational study was conducted with patients who presented to the emergency department due to vaccine-related complications after COVID-19 vaccination. The patients' symptoms at the time of presentation, time from vaccination to the onset of symptoms, and dose of the vaccine administered were determined. In addition, the demographic characteristics of the patients, whether they had a history of COVID-19 infection, and their vital signs at the time of presentation were recorded. The variables were compared according to the type of vaccine administered.
Results The study included 182 patients who presented to the emergency department over a 6-month period. It was determined that 166 of these patients (91.2%) had received the BNT162b2 vaccine and 16 (8.8%) had received the CoronaVac vaccine. The majority of the patients did not have a history of COVID-19 infection (70.3%), and most presented to the hospital with complications after the second dose (61%). The onset of vaccine-related symptoms was mostly within 1 to 12 hours (39%). The majority of patients (97.8%) were discharged from the emergency department. The most common symptoms after vaccination were fatigue (n = 70), followed by muscle/joint pain (n = 52), headache (n = 33), and fever (n = 32). The rate of dizziness was found to be statistically significantly higher in the CoronaVac vaccine group than in the BNT162b2 vaccine group (p = 0.008). There was no statistically significant difference between the two vaccine groups in relation to the remaining symptoms (p > 0.005).
Conclusion There were no serious complications related to the BNT162b2 or CoronaVac vaccine. The most common symptom after both vaccines was fatigue; therefore, the BNT162b2 and CoronaVac vaccines can be safely administered.
Pre-graduate teaching of human parasitology for medical laboratory technologist programs in Japan
Authors: Sekine Sho 
Published: July 2022

AbstractParasitic diseases continue to exist in many developing countries. In most cases, medical laboratory technologists (MLTs) detect parasitosis, which is then diagnosed and treated by medical doctors. However, parasitological education in medical schools has been declining, particularly in developed countries, leading to a decline in diagnostic ability. Therefore, the role of MLTs has become more critical. However, the current status of parasitology education in MLTs has not been investigated. In this study, a questionnaire survey of 93 schools and the students that are members of the Japanese association of medical technology and offer MLTs training programs was conducted. The educators were asked about the time and content of lectures and practical training, and the students were asked about their understanding of parasitology and the areas they found difficult. A series of χ2 distribution analyses were employed to analyze the data, and the Benjamini–Hochberg method was subsequently used to correct the p-values. This study included 62 out of 93 schools and 1043 students as participants. The results revealed a significant decrease in lecture hours in parasitology compared to 1994, and the trend that may continue in the future. In addition, after attending the lectures, students tended to disregard parasitology as a necessary subject. Pre-study interest was found to have an impact on post-study comprehension. This study is the first to report on the current status of parasitology education in MLTs parasitology training programs in parasite-free countries and can serve as a model for similar studies in other regions in the future.
You trust a face like yours

Published: July 2022

AbstractThe appraisal of trustworthiness from facial appearance of a stranger is critical for successful social interaction. Although self-resemblance is considered a significant factor affecting the perception of trustworthiness, research is yet to be conducted on whether this theory is applicable to natural unfamiliar faces in real life. We examined this aspect by using a state-of-the-art deep convolutional neural network for face recognition to measure the facial similarity of a large sample of people with the evaluators. We found that the more they resembled the rater, the more trustworthy they were evaluated if they were of the same sex as the rater. Contrarily, when the stranger was of the opposite sex, self-resemblance did not affect trustworthiness ratings. These results demonstrate that self-resemblance is an important factor affecting our social judgments of especially same-sex people in real life.
Embodied cognition
Authors: Janzen Terry 
Published: July 2022

AbstractRecent work has shown that ASL (American Sign Language) signers not only articulate the language in the space in front of and around them, they interact with that space bodily, such that those interactions are frequently viewpointed. At a basic level, signers use their bodies to depict the actions of characters, either themselves or others, in narrative retelling. These viewpointed instances seem to reflect “embodied cognition”, in that our construal of reality is largely due to the nature of our bodies (Evans and Green, 2006) and “embodied language” such that the symbols we use to communicate are “grounded in recurring patterns of bodily experience” (Gibbs, 2017: 450). But what about speakers of a spoken language such as English? While we know that meaning and structure for any language, whether spoken or signed, affect and are affected by the embodied mind (note that the bulk of research on embodied language has been about spoken, not signed, language), we can learn much about embodied cognition and viewpointed space when spoken languages are treated as multimodal. Here, we compare signed ASL and spoken, multimodal English discourse to examine whether the two languages incorporate viewpointed space in similar or different ways.
Field‐testing to determine power – cadence and torque – cadence profiles in professional road cyclists
Authors: Taylor Kurt Bergin , Deckert Sebastian , Sanders Dajo 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to evaluate a field‐based approach to determine torque‐cadence and power‐cadence profiles in professional cyclists and establish if this field‐based protocol can differentiate between varying rider specialisations. Twenty‐four male professional athletes from a World Tour cycling team participated in this investigation (Height = 1.84 ± 0.05 m, Weight = 72.3 ± 5.6 kg, Age = 25 ± 4 y). All riders were subsequently categorised into the following groups: 1) General Classification (GC) group; 2) sprinter group; and 3) classics group. All participants completed a specific sprint protocol in the field which included 6 times 6s sprints with varying gearing, starting cadences, starting speeds and position (i.e. seated vs standing). Power‐cadence and torque‐cadence profiles were determined based on the sprint outputs. There was a significant main effect of rider specialisation on the measured (sprint) variables (P≤0.03). Body weight, maximum power outputs (1s, 10s and modelled) and maximum torque were highest in the sprinter group, followed by the classics group, followed by the GC group. The protocol was able to differentiate between different rider specialisations (i.e. GC, sprinters, classics). The proposed methodology can contribute to individualising training content in the short‐duration domain.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to examine the association between time engaged in moderate (MPA), vigorous (VPA), and moderate‐to‐vigorous (MVPA) physical activity (PA) and indicators of lipid profile in adolescents. This longitudinal study with a four‐year follow‐up, and three collection points (2014, 2015 and 2017) analyzed the data of 136 adolescents (10−13 years old; 53.7% girls), in João Pessoa, Brazil. The time in MPA, VPA and MVPA times was measured by accelerometers. The lipid profile indicators analyzed were total cholesterol (TC), low‐density (LDL‐C) and high‐density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL‐C), triglycerides (TG), non‐HDL‐C, TC/HDL‐C and TG/HDL‐c ratios. There was an inverse association between MPA time and TC values (ß = −0.560; 95%CI: −1.116; −0.004); VPA and LDL‐C (ß = −0.962; 95%CI: −1.678; −0.246) and non‐HDL‐C (ß = −0.955; 95%CI: −1.708; −0.201); and MVPA and TC (ß = −0.436; 95%CI: −0.816; −0.055), TG (ß = −0.415; 95%CI: −0.712; −0.118), LDL‐C (ß = −0.460; 95%CI: −0.823; −0.096), non‐HDL‐C (ß = −0.522; 95%CI: −0.908; −0.136) and TC/HDL‐C (ß = −0.472; 95%CI: −0.889; −0.055). Adolescents more engaged in PA, especially in MVPA, exhibited better levels of TC, TG, LDL‐C, non‐HDL‐C and TC/HDL‐C; and AFV exerted a greater influence on LDL‐c and non‐HDL‐c levels.

Abstract

Objective. Accurate identification of functional cortical regions is essential in neurological resection. The central sulcus (CS) is an important landmark that delineates functional cortical regions. Median nerve stimulation (MNS) is a standard procedure to identify the position of the CS intraoperatively. In this paper, we introduce an automated procedure that uses MNS to rapidly localize the CS and create functional somatotopic maps. Approach. We recorded electrocorticographic signals from 13 patients who underwent MNS in the course of an awake craniotomy. We analyzed these signals to develop an automated procedure that determines the location of the CS and that also produces functional somatotopic maps. Main results. The comparison between our automated method and visual inspection performed by the neurosurgeon shows that our procedure has a high sensitivity (89%) in identifying the CS. Further, we found substantial concordance between the functional somatotopic maps generated by our method and passive functional mapping (92% sensitivity). Significance. Our automated MNS-based method can rapidly localize the CS and create functional somatotopic maps without imposing additional burden on the clinical procedure. With additional development and validation, our method may lead to a diagnostic tool that guides neurosurgeons and reduces postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing resective brain surgery.
Recovery of LED Emission Power under the Exposure to γ-n-Pulse

Published: July 2022

Abstract
The article presents results of the study of the effect of LED power modes based on AlGaAs heterostructures (short-circuit, open circuit, and active mode with the passage of operating current during irradiation) on the resistance to γ-n-pulse exposure. Reduction of LED emission power under the influence of γ-n-pulse occurs in two stages irrespective of irradiation power mode, with each stage characterized by its own regularity and its own factor. Built-in electric field of p-n-junction does not contribute significantly to the degradation of LED power when exposed to γ-n-pulse. At irradiation of LED in active power mode after exposure to γ-n-pulse (Fn ≤ 1.5·1012n/cm2, Dγ ≤ 20 Gy (Si)) a recovery of LED power by the value of ΔP is observed. Recovery of ΔP power leads to reduction of the damage factor at the first stage, to increase of the LED resistance, and to shift of the boundary between the stages to the area of higher neutron fluences. It is supposed, that the observed jump-like increase of ΔP radiation power under the influence of γ-n-pulse is caused by radiation-stimulated annealing of local mechanical stresses that is generated under the condition of passing of operating current through LED.
Simulation Prediction and Forming Quality Control of Hemming Structure with Dissimilar Materials Oriented to Process Chain

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Multi-material mixed-use has become an important way to realize autobody lightweight. However, due to the difference of material properties, the structure is prone to material mismatch when using thin and dissimilar materials. In this paper, a deformation compensation method oriented to the process chain is proposed to eliminate the quality defects. Based on the simulation and prediction of the process chain, the final deformation is advanced to the spreading preparation stage to realize the geometric pre-compensation of the structure. Firstly, in the spreading and hemming stage, the prediction of hemming with adhesive was realized by establishing SPH (Smoothed particle method)-FEM (Finite element method) coupling model. Then, a coupled thermal-chemical-structural model is established to predict the curing deformation. Finally, the deformed dimension is fed back to the spreading stage to achieve the deformation compensation. The results show that the multi-field coupling model can achieve accurate prediction, and the structural deformation is reduced to more than 95%. This provides a basis for material matching and optimization of the whole process chain.

Abstract
With the development of science and technology, intelligent devices are entering every corner of our life. As an intelligent terminal, the touch screen carries most of the functions of human-computer interaction, and the performance of touch screen is particularly important. Through the comparative analysis of the principles of several types of touch screens and combined with the production practice of the original electronic whiteboard touch screen, this paper summarizes several aspects of the performance of the touch screen, such as anti-interference ability, signal strength, positioning accuracy and line drawing quality. Taking the electromagnetic induction touch screen as an example, this paper analyzes the generation and classification of touch screen defects, and summarizes some defect judgment methods of touch screen, which provides ideas for the selection of touch screen and the improvement of the overall quality of touch screen.
On the Study of Thai Music Emotion Recognition Based on Western Music Model

Published: July 2022

Abstract
The mood of the song could be identified by tracking the listener’s emotion. The research in this area is growing significantly at the present. There are many research studies in western music, but a few in Thai music. Therefore, in this research, Thai songs were chosen because the Thai is a native language and Thai songs are quite popular in the region of research. This research is divided into 2 parts. First, Thai music was evaluated by the set of a system based on western music training settings. By using valence-arousal values, multiple linear regression, and k-nearest neighbors to represent the emotional annotations from the music. As a result, the highest f-measure of Thai music from multiple linear regression by ALL model was 41% and the f-measure of western music from multiple linear regression by No Tempo model was 51%, which was very different because ALL model in western music has lower efficiency than other models. Second, we measured the mood of 125 Thai popular songs and used valence-arousal (energy) values from Spotify API to investigate the results. In this research we used multiple linear regression (MLR) and support vector regression (SVR). Experimental results show that the multiple linear regression provides the highest accuracy of 61.29% with the precision of 65%, recall of 61%, and f-measure of 60% which is more than support vector regression.

Abstract
This article presents an eggshell crack inspection using image processing techniques. This approach uses the concept of industrial 4.0 to reduce manual coordination in the egg industry’s manufacturing process. The method started with receiving images from a webcam camera. Then, we rescaled the image to 1147 x 633 for faster computation. Next, divide the image into the red and green channels. The red channel image was converted to grayscale using a Gaussian blur filter with a kernel filter 11 x 11 to reduce noise, followed by turning the image to binary. After that, multiply the binary image with the grayscale of the green channel to remove the background. By that time, a morphological operation was used to enhance the quality of the image. Finally, use the contour matrix to find the area of the object and then build the condition to detect the crack in the eggshell. These techniques of image processing are used to inspect the eggshell crack with a high accuracy of more than 98% as well as the high performance of computing.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Chemotherapy is arguably the most effective treatment for treating cancer. However, it triggers toxic effects on patients due to its interaction with normal cells. In this paper, we propose a finite-horizon Markov decision process framework for optimal chemotherapy dose selection during cancer treatment. In contrast to many other research works, our model accommodates all possible patient’s clinical health states that could be considered during treatment. We study the use of our model by applying it on Wilms tumor. We explore three different cases of varying transition probabilities and rewards. Our numerical results agree with clinical intuition and demonstrate the potential applicability of our model.
On Finite Subgroups in the General Linear Groups over an Algebraic Number Field
Authors: Li Ying 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
As is well-known, there are only finitely many isomorphic classes of finite subgroups in a given general linear group over the field of rational numbers. This result can be generalized to any algebraic number field. While the case of field of rational numbers is relatively well-studied, we still do not know much for general algebraic number field cases. In this article, we discuss the finiteness of isomorphic classes of finite subgroups of general linear groups over an algebraic number field. We give a method to calculate a multiplicative bound for the orders of finite subgroups and to classify finite cyclic subgroups.

Abstract
One of the most challenges to effective treatment of cancer is radiation resistance. Published data from a notably experiment performed to examine the ability of a compound therapy to overcome radiation resistance is utilized. The chemotherapeutic drug used was vinblastine. The experiment included control tumors and tumors which were treated with radiation, chemotherapy, or both. In this paper a mathematical model is developed. The model fits with the data reported from the mentioned experiment. Starting with a suggested model for the tumor growth, the model is expanded to include the effect of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy. By fitting the model with the experimental data, the parameters of the model are obtained in each stage. The final mathematical model acquired can be used with the case with no treatment, with radiotherapy treatment, with chemotherapy treatment, and with combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. Results capture the behavior of the tumor in all cases in a reasonable way.
