Medicos, poultice wallahs and comrades in service: masculinity and military medicine in Britain during the First World War
Venue: Critical military studies
Year: 2019

The subject of British military medicine during the First World War has long been a fruitful one for historians of gender. From the bodily inspection of recruits and conscripts through the expanding roles of women as medical care providers to the physical and emotional aftermath of conflict experienced by men suffering from war related wounds and illness, the medical history of the war has shed important light on how the war shaped British masculinities and femininities as cultural, subjective and embodied identities. Much of this literature has, however, focused on the gendered identities of female nurses and sick and wounded servicemen. Increasingly, however, more complex understandings of the ways in which medical caregiving in wartime shaped the gender identities of male caregivers are starting to emerge. This article explores some of these emerging understandings of the masculinity of male medical caregivers, and their relationship to the wider literature around the complex and sometimes contradictory relationship between warfare and medicine. It examines the ways in which the masculine identity of male medical caregivers from the ranks of the Royal Army Medical Corps, namely stretcher bearers and medical orderlies, was perceived and represented both by the men themselves and those they cared for. In doing so it argues that total war played a crucial role in shaping social and cultural perceptions of caregiving as a gendered practice. It also identifies particular tensions between continuity and change in social understandings of medical care as a gendered practice which would continue to shape twentieth century British society in the war's aftermath.
Wittgenstein y el escepticismo antiguo: desacuerdos, suspension del juicio y persuasion
Venue: Estudios de Filosofia
Year: 2019

Las discusiones recientes sobre las fuentes antiguas del escepticismo han proporcionado nuevos elementos para evaluar el alcance de la propuesta pirronica y poder diferenciarla de las manifestaciones escepticas modernas. Esto, a su vez, ha permitido explorar la posibilidad de plantear afinidades entre las ideas que Sexto Empirico expuso en sus Hipotiposis Pirronicas y las ideas que Wittgenstein presento en Sobre la certeza. Mi proposito es evaluar el alcance de estas afinidades a partir del lugar que ambos autores otorgan a la problematica del desacuerdo.
Multiple myeloma: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow up.
Venue: Annals of oncology official journal of the European Society for Medical Oncology
Year: 2017

These Clinical Practice Guidelines are endorsed by the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO) incidence and epidemiology Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for 1% of all cancers and ~10% of all haematological malignancies. The incidence in Europe is 4.5 6.0/100 000/year with a median age at diagnosis of between 65 and 70 years; the mortality is 4.1/100 000/year. Almost all patients with MM evolve from an asymptomatic pre malignant stage termed monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) MGUS progresses to MM at a rate of 1% per year. In some patients, an intermediate asymptomatic but more advanced pre malignant stage termed smouldering (or indolent) multiple myeloma (SMM) can be recognised. SMM progresses to myeloma at a rate of 10% per year over the first 5 years following diagnosis, 3% per year over the following 5 years and 1.5% per year thereafter  diagnosis Diagnosis of MM should be based on the following tests:  Detection and evaluation of the monoclonal (M component by serum and/or urine protein electrophoresis (concentrate of 24 h urine collection) nephelometric quantification of IgG, IgA and IgM immunoglobulins; characterisation of the heavy and light chains by immunofixation; and serum free light chain (FLC) measurement; Evaluation of bone marrow (BM) plasma cell infiltration: BM aspiration and/or biopsies are the standard options to evaluate the number and characteristics. Moreover, the BM sample should be used for cytogenetic/fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies and also has the potential for immunophenotypic and molecular investigations; Evaluation of lytic bone lesions: a radiological skeletal bone survey, including spine, pelvis, skull, humeri and femurs is necessary. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan may be needed to evaluate symptomatic bony sites, even if the skeletal survey is negative and the patient has symptoms suggesting bone lesions. Moreover, MRI provides greater detail and is recommended whenever spinal cord compression is suspected. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography is currently under evaluation but should not be systematically used; Complete blood cell count, with differential serum creatinine and calcium level.
Layered extrusion forming a simple and green method for additive manufacturing ceramic core
Year: 2018

Layered extrusion forming, a type of additive manufacturing technique, was applied in this study, using aqueous ceramic pastes to build near net shaped ceramic cores at room temperature. As an example, aqueous based pastes of alumina using methylcellulose (MC) as binder were prepared, and layered extrusion forming method was employed to fabricate green alumina cores. Afterwards, post sintering was carried out to obtain ceramic cores with high strength. Pastes with alumina solid loading varying from 30 to 52 vol. were dispersed by MC solutions and presented shear thinning rheological behaviors. Solid loading had a significant effect on the processing of layered extrusion formation. Alumina pastes with 30 to 46 vol. were not suitable for layered extrusion formation, while pastes with solid loading ranging from 48 to 52 vol. could be applied successfully to the layered extrusion forming process. Pastes composed of 2 wt. MC solution as binder and 50 vol. solid loading generated specimens with best shape retention and surface consistency, and the height of each layer extruded was equally distributed. The green specimens exhibited slightly smaller dimensions than the designed ones, and sintered specimens showed linear shrinkage. Sintered specimens presented homogeneous morphology, and no gap between extruded filaments was observed. Specimens sintered at 1600 degC for 180 mins possessed best comprehensive performances and low thermal expansion, which could meet the requirements of ceramic cores in alloys casting. The systematic study of layered extrusion forming indicates that this method is a promising method to fabricate ceramic cores.

Graph Neural Network Based Anomaly Detection in Multivariate Time Series
Venue: AAAI
Year: 2021

Given high dimensional time series data (e.g. sensor data) how can we detect anomalous events, such as system faults and attacks? More challengingly, how can we do this in a way that captures complex inter sensor relationships, and detects and explains anomalies which deviate from these relationships? Recently, deep learning approaches have enabled improvements in anomaly detection in high dimensional datasets; however, existing methods do not explicitly learn the structure of existing relationships between variables, or use them to predict the expected behavior of time series. Our approach combines a structure learning approach with graph neural networks, additionally using attention weights to provide explainability for the detected anomalies. Experiments on two real world sensor datasets with ground truth anomalies show that our method detects anomalies more accurately than baseline approaches, accurately captures correlations between sensors, and allows users to deduce the root cause of a detected anomaly.
Video Frame Synthesis Using Deep Voxel Flow
Venue: 2017 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV)
Year: 2017

We address the problem of synthesizing new video frames in an existing video, either in between existing frames (interpolation) or subsequent to them (extrapolation) This problem is challenging because video appearance and motion can be highly complex. Traditional optical flow based solutions often fail where flow estimation is challenging, while newer neural network based methods that hallucinate pixel values directly often produce blurry results. We combine the advantages of these two methods by training a deep network that learns to synthesize video frames by flowing pixel values from existing ones, which we call deep voxel flow. Our method requires no human supervision, and any video can be used as training data by dropping, and then learning to predict, existing frames. The technique is efficient, and can be applied at any video resolution. We demonstrate that our method produces results that both quantitatively and qualitatively improve upon the state of the art.
[Toxicological evaluation of nanosized colloidal silver, stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone, in 92 day experiment on rats. II. Internal organs morphology]
Venue: Voprosy pitaniia
Year: 2016

The aim of the study was to evaluate the safe doses of commercially available nanosized colloidal silver (NCS) stabilized with polyvinilpirrolidone (PVP, food additive E1201) when administered in gastrointestinal tract of rats in the 92 day experiment in terms of the morphological changes in the internals of animals. The sample studied contained non aggregated nanoparticles (NPs) of silver belonging to size fractions with a diameter of less than 5 nm, 10 20 nm or 50 80 nm. 80% of NPs were inside the range of hydrodynamic diameters 10.6 61.8 nm. The preparation of NCS was administered to growing male Wistar rats. (initial body weight 80 10 g) for 1 month by intragastric gavage and then consumed with food at doses of 0.1, 1.0 and 10 mg/kg of body weight based on silver. The control animals received water or vehicle of nanomaterial water solution of PVP. After withdrawal of animals from the experiment by exsanguination under ether anesthesia organs (liver, spleen, kidney, ileum) were isolated and their slides were prepared by standard methods following 'by staining with hematoxylin eosin. Analysis was performed in light optical microscope equipped with a digital camera at a magnification from 1 x 100 to 1 x 1000. It was shown that the experimental animals treated with the NCS developed series of morphological changes in the tissues of the internal organs (liver, spleen and kidney) with the elevation of the range and severity of structural changes with increasing doses of silver. The most sensitive target of NCS action was apparently liver, which has already shown at a dose of 0.1 mg of silver NP/kg of body weight marked eosinophilic infiltration of portal tracts, which was accompanied at doses of 1.0 and 10.0 mg/kg by the emergence of medium and large drop fat vacuoles in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, swelling and lympho macrophage. infiltration of the portal tracts. Detectable changes can be regarded as symptoms of inflammation of hepatocytes, at least, at a dose nanomaterial of 1.0 mg/kg body weight or more. Relative intensity of morphological changes in the internal organs correlated with published data on the biodistribution of silver NP administered to the gastrointestinal tract. It is concluded that the threshold dose corresponding to the minimum adverse effect of NCS is, according to the study of the above, no more than 1.0 mg/kg of body weight based on silver.
"We know about schistosomiasis but we know nothing about FGS" A qualitative assessment of knowledge gaps about female genital schistosomiasis among communities living in Schistosoma haematobium endemic districts of Zanzibar and Northwestern Tanzania
Venue: PLoS neglected tropical diseases
Year: 2021

Schistosoma haematobium causes urogenital schistosomiasis and is widely distributed in Tanzania. In girls and women, the parasite can cause Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) a gynecological manifestation of schistosomiasis that is highly neglected and overlooked by public health professionals and policy makers. This study explored community members' knowledge, attitudes and perceptions (KAP) on and health seeking behavior for FGS. Principal findings Using qualitative research methods including 40 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and 37 Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) we collected data from 414 participants (Males n 204 [49.3% and Females n 210 [50.7% The study engaged 153 participants from Zanzibar and 261 participants from northwestern Tanzania and was conducted in twelve (12) purposively selected districts (7 districts in Zanzibar and 5 districts in northwestern Tanzania) Most participants were aware of urogenital schistosomiasis. Children were reported as the most affected group and blood in urine was noted as a common symptom especially in boys. Adults were also noted as a risk group due to their involvement in activities like paddy farming that expose them to infection. Most participants lacked knowledge of FGS and acknowledged having no knowledge that urogenital schistosomiasis can affect the female reproductive system. A number of misconceptions on the symptoms of FGS and how it is transmitted were noted. Adolescent girls and women presenting with FGS related symptoms were reported to be stigmatized, perceived as having a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and sometimes labeled as "prostitutes" Health seeking behavior for FGS included a combination of traditional medicine, self treatment and modern medicine.  Community members living in two very different areas of Tanzania exhibited major, similar gaps in knowledge about FGS. Our data illustrate a critical need for the national control program to integrate public health education about FGS during the implementation of school and community based mass drug administration (MDA) programs and the improvement of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities.

The likelihood ratio test in high dimensional logistic regression is asymptotically a rescaled Chi square
Venue: ArXiv
Year: 2017

Logistic regression is used thousands of times a day to fit data, predict future outcomes, and assess the statistical significance of explanatory variables. When used for the purpose of statistical inference, logistic models produce p values for the regression coefficients by using an approximation to the distribution of the likelihood ratio test (LRT) Indeed, Wilks' theorem asserts that whenever we have a fixed number p of variables, twice the log likelihood ratio (LLR) $2 \Lambda $2L is distributed as a \chi ^2_k$$khk2 variable in the limit of large sample sizes n; here, \chi ^2_k$$khk2 is a Chi square with k degrees of freedom and k the number of variables being tested. In this paper, we prove that when p is not negligible compared to n, Wilks' theorem does not hold and that the Chi square approximation is grossly incorrect; in fact, this approximation produces p values that are far too small (under the null hypothesis) Assume that n and p grow large in such a way that $p/n \rightarrow \kappa $p/n k for some constant \kappa 1/2$$k<1/2. (For \kappa 1/2$$k>1/2, $2\Lambda \mathop \rightarrow \limits \mathbb {P}}0$$2L P0 so that the LRT is not interesting in this regime. We prove that for a class of logistic models, the LLR converges to a rescaled Chi square, namely, $2\Lambda \mathop \rightarrow \limits \mathrm {d} \alpha \kappa \chi _k^2$$2L da(k)khk2, where the scaling factor \alpha \kappa $a(k) is greater than one as soon as the dimensionality ratio \kappa $k is positive. Hence, the LLR is larger than classically assumed. For instance, when \kappa 0.3$$k=0.3, \alpha \kappa \approx 1.5$$a(k)1.5. In general, we show how to compute the scaling factor by solving a nonlinear system of two equations with two unknowns. Our mathematical arguments are involved and use techniques from approximate message passing theory, from non asymptotic random matrix theory and from convex geometry. We also complement our mathematical study by showing that the new limiting distribution is accurate for finite sample sizes. Finally, all the results from this paper extend to some other regression models such as the probit regression model.
Next generation gamma ray Cherenkov detectors for the National Ignition Facility.
Venue: The Review of scientific instruments
Year: 2016

The newest generation of Gas Cherenkov Detector (GCD 3) employed in Inertial Confinement Fusion experiments at the Omega Laser Facility has provided improved performance over previous generations. Comparison of reaction histories measured using two different deuterium tritium fusion products, namely gamma rays using GCD and neutrons using Neutron Temporal Diagnostic (NTD) have provided added credibility to both techniques. GCD 3 is now being brought to the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to supplement the existing Gamma Reaction History (GRH 6m) located 6 m from target chamber center (TCC) Initially it will be located in a reentrant well located 3.9 m from TCC. Data from GCD 3 will inform the design of a heavily shielded "Super" GCD to be located as close as 20 cm from TCC. It will also provide a test bed for faster optical detectors, potentially lowering the temporal resolution from the current ~100 ps state of the art photomultiplier tubes (PMT) to ~10 ps Pulse Dilation PMT technology currently under development.
Human activity recognition from UAV captured video sequences
Venue: Pattern Recognit.
Year: 2020

This research paper introduces a new approach for human activity recognition from UAV captured video sequences. The proposed approach involves two phases: an offline phase and an inference phase. A scene stabilization step is performed together with these two phases. The offline phase aims to generate the human/non human model as well as a human activity model using a convolutional neural network. The inference phase makes use of the already generated models in order to detect humans and recognize their activities. Our main contribution lies in adapting the convolutional neural networks, normally dedicated to the classification task, to detect humans. In addition, the classification of human activities is carried out according to two scenarios: An instant classification of video frames and an entire classification of the video sequences. Relying on an experimental evaluation of the proposed methods for human detection and human activity classification on the UCF ARG dataset, we validated not only these contributions but also the performance of our methods compared to the existing ones.

Traumatic obturator dislocation of the hip joint: a case report and review of the literature
Venue: The Pan African medical journal
Year: 2015

We describe a case of traumatic obturator hip dislocation in an adult. Closed reduction was done under general anesthesia. Post reduction radiographs showed concentric and congruent reduction of the right hip. Traction was applied for three weeks followed by progressive mobilization and loading. Follow up for two years after the injury showed that the patient achieved a full recovery without any evidence of hip pain or a decreased range of motion. There were no signs of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
