    Title translation Blocs des plans intercostaux parasternaux superficiels en chirurgie cardiaque : une revue systématique et une méta-analyse.
    Abstract Purpose: Traditional multimodal analgesic strategies have several contraindications in cardiac surgery patients, forcing clinicians to use alternative options. Superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks, anesthetizing the anterior cutaneous branches of the thoracic intercostal nerves, are being explored as a straightforward method to treat pain after sternotomy. We sought to evaluate the literature on the effects of superficial parasternal blocks on pain control after cardiac surgery.
    Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and Web of Science databases for RCTs evaluating superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery via midline sternotomy published from inception to 11 March 2022. The prespecified primary outcome was opioid consumption at 12 hr. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool, and the quality of evidence was evaluated using the grading of recommendations, assessments, development, and evaluations. Outcomes were analyzed with a random-effects model. All subgroups were prespecified.
    Results: We reviewed 1,275 citations. Eleven RCTs, comprising 756 patients, fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Only one study reported the prespecified primary outcome, precluding the possibility of meta-analysis. This study reported a reduction in opioid consumption (-11.2 mg iv morphine equivalents; 95% confidence interval [CI], -8.2 to -14.1) There was a reduction in opioid consumption at 24 hr (-7.2 mg iv morphine equivalents; 95% CI,  -5.6 to -8.7; five trials; 436 participants; moderate certainty evidence). All five studies measuring complications reported that none were detected, which included a sample of 196 blocks.
    Conclusion: The literature suggests a potential benefit of using superficial parasternal blocks to improve acute postoperative pain control after cardiac surgery via midline sternotomy. Future studies specifying dosing regimens and adjuncts are required.

    Abstract Objectives: Recent research has investigated the factors associated with the prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) among older adults (65+), which has rapidly increased in the past decade. However, little is known about the relationship between social vulnerability and the prevalence of OUD, and even less is about whether the correlates of the prevalence of OUD vary across the social vulnerability spectrum. This study aims to fill these gaps.
    Methods: We assemble a county-level data set in the contiguous United States (U.S.) by merging 2021 Medicare claims with the CDC's social vulnerability index and other covariates. Using the total number of older beneficiaries with OUD as the dependent variable and the total number of older beneficiaries as the offset, we implement a series of nested negative binomial regression models and then analyze by social vulnerability quartiles.
    Results: Higher social vulnerability is associated with higher prevalence of OUD in U.S. counties. This association cannot be fully explained by the differences in the characteristics of older Medicare beneficiaries (e.g., average age) and/or other social conditions (e.g., social capital) across counties. Moreover, the group comparison tests indicate correlates of the prevalence of OUD vary across social vulnerability quartiles in that the average number of mental disorders is positively related to OUD prevalence in the least and the most vulnerable counties and social capital benefits the less vulnerable counties.
    Discussion: A perspective drawing upon contextual factors, especially social vulnerability, may be more effective in reducing OUD among older adults in U.S. counties than a one-size-fits-all approach.

    Abstract Mutation is the driving force of species evolution, which may change the genetic information of organisms and obtain selective competitive advantages to adapt to environmental changes. It may change the structure or function of translated proteins, and cause abnormal cell operation, a variety of diseases and even cancer. Therefore, it is particularly important to identify gene regions with high mutations. Mutations will cause changes in nucleotide distribution, which can be characterized by natural vectors globally. Based on natural vectors, we propose a mathematical formula for measuring the difference in nucleotide distribution over time to investigate the mutations of human immunodeficiency virus. The studied dataset is from public databases and includes gene sequences from twenty HIV-infected patients. The results show that the mutation rate of the nine major genes or gene segment regions in the genome exhibits discrepancy during the infected period, and the

    Abstract Analysis of innovation has been fundamentally limited by conventional approaches to broad, structural variables. This paper pushes the boundaries, taking an LLM approach to patent analysis with the groundbreaking ChatGPT technology. OpenAI's state-of-the-art textual embedding accesses complex information about the quality and impact of each invention to power deep learning predictive models. The nuanced embedding drives a 24% incremental improvement in R-squared predicting patent value and clearly isolates the worst and best applications. These models enable a revision of the contemporary Kogan, Papanikolaou, Seru, and Stoffman (2017) valuation of patents by a median deviation of 1.5 times, accounting for potential institutional predictions. Furthermore, the market fails to incorporate timely information about applications; a long-short portfolio based on predicted acceptance rates achieves significant abnormal returns of 3.3% annually. The models provide an opportunity to revolutionize startup and small-firm corporate policy vis-a-vis patenting.
