Aims To study the prevalence of masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) in patients recently hospitalized for myocardial infarction, and to develop machine learning-based prediction models identifying MUCH. Methods and results Ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) was performed in 99 patients following hospitalization for a myocardial infarction. Sixty-two clinical variables were eligible f
Memory decline is a central cognitive symptom in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). While task-fMRI studies link hippocampal activity (AHA) to poorer memory and olfactory performance, this relationship during rest remains understudied. The objectives of this study are to examine differences in resting-state hippocampal networks, explore the occurrence of reduced AHA within these networks, and investigate i
The effects of the simultaneous presence of monopole and quadrupole pairing interactions on the fission barriers for heavy and superheavy elements are considered. The first barrier for light Thisotopes is found to be raised by 1 MeV, while heavier actinide nuclei seem to be less affected by the inclusion of quadrupole pairing. For the superheavy elements, the inclusion of quadrupole pairing tends
High-precision lifetime measurements have been performed in superdeformed (SD) bands of 151,152Dy and 151Tb with the Doppler-shift attenuation method. Differences found in the quadrupole moments Q0 of the yrast SD bands are understood in terms of shape polarization effects by the high-N intruder orbitals. Q0 moments are also presented for three excited SD bands in 151Dy. Recent calculations can ac
An atomic beam magnetic resonance (ABMR) apparatus has been constructed at Orsay, and has been installed at the CERN PS Booster ISOLDE mass separator facility for "on-line" work with radioactive isotopes in a program to measure hyperfine structure anomalies (the Bohr-Weisskopf effect) over long isotopic chains. The hfs anomalies result from the effect of the spatial distribution of the nuclear mag
Although biologics have revolutionized psoriasis treatment, they pose a significant burden on the healthcare budget. With the wide range of biologics available and the increasing number of biosimilars, insights into the real-world cost per responder (CPR) are required. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the real-world CPR of adalimumab, ustekinumab, IL17-and IL23-inhibitors, incorporating both
Given many recent advanced embedding models, selecting pre-trained word representation (ie, word embedding) models best fit for a specific downstream NLP task is non-trivial. In this paper, we propose a systematic approach to extracting, evaluating, and visualizing multiple sets of pre-trained word embed-dings to determine which embeddings should be used in a downstream task. First, for extraction
In the current era, the meat supply chain plays a vital role in the food industry. The meat supply chain is experiencing significant challenges due to the increase in demand and Circular Economy (CE) challenges. In the meat supply chain, a huge waste is generated during the meat processing, and it is much needed to manage waste effectively, considering the large quantities of by-products, packagin
The establishment of innovation ecosystems has become an increasingly prevalent strategy for fostering territorial, economic and social development. However, the existing literature provides limited insights into the strategic conditions that enable the emergence of such ecosystems. This paper addresses this gap by identifying the critical elements and mechanisms underpinning their creation. Speci
What is the context?: Platelets contain three major types of granules (alpha granules, dense granules and lysosomal granules) that carry distinct cargo. Dense granules store small molecules such as calcium, serotonin and adenosine 5′-diphosphate (ADP) that are essential for platelet activation and aggregation. Impaired production or release of dense granules can affect blood clotting and cause inc
Universities offer a variety of services to students, staff, and affiliates, traditionally managed through physical campus cards. However, increasing mobility requirements and the need for secure, interoperable digital identity solutions call for a modernized approach to service access. This paper introduces eduTAP, an open-source concept and software framework that builds on top of digital wallet
Water structure is crucially important to protein function and catalysis and can be conserved throughout related proteins despite differences in sequence. The complex hydrogen-bonding networks formed by water molecules and protein residues have been studied extensively, and graph-theory-based methods have frequently been used to describe these networks. Although there exist a number of tools which
Large language models (LLMs) and their applications in low-resource languages (such as in Vietnamese) are limited due to lack of training data and benchmarking datasets. This paper introduces a practical real-world implementation of a question answering system for Vietnamese, called ViGPTQA, leveraging the power of LLM. Since there is no effective LLM in Vietnamese to date, we also propose, evalua
We present a novel deep neural network architecture for representing robot experiences in an episodic-like memory that facilitates encoding, recalling, and predicting action experiences. Our proposed unsupervised deep episodic memory model as follows: First, encodes observed actions in a latent vector space and, based on this latent encoding, second, infers most similar episodes previously experie
We describe an experimental setup for non-linear interaction and propagation of ultrashort and intense x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses in a dense gas. It allows one to provide high, but adjustable, target-gas pressures of up to 6 bar within a vacuum environment of 3∙10− 3 mbar or better. The setup enables investigation of intense x-ray propagation in an optically thick medium with minimal
Abstract – Introduction: Peripheral intravenous catheterization is commonly required in sick neonates but remains challenging due to small vessels, leading to multiple attempts and complications. This review evaluated the benefits and harms of device-assisted techniques versus standard technique. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Cochrane Reviews, WHO ICTRP, and ClinicalTrials.gov (Oc
