    Abstract Automation continues to advance into hemostasis and thrombosis laboratories. Integration of hemostasis testing into an existing chemistry track systems and adoption of a separate hemostasis track systems are important considerations. Unique issues must be addressed to maintain quality and efficiency when automation is introduced. Among other challenges, this chapter discusses centrifugation protocols, incorporation of specimen-check modules in the workflow, and inclusion of tests amenable to automation.

    Abstract The complexity of the tumor microenvironment has been a challenge for understanding the mechanisms of therapy resistance. The development of improved animal models that closely mimic human disease is key for understanding and treating diseases. Recently, a new humanized mouse model has been developed that enables the study of human immune cells in tumor host-cell interactions. In this commentary we highlight the critical aspects of mast cells in immune therapy resistance. These mast cells release cytokines that downmodulate HLA class I on the malignant cells making them inaccessible the cytotoxic activity of T cells.

    Abstract The value of uncertainty quantification on predictions for trained neural networks (NNs) on quantum chemical reference data is quantitatively explored. For this, the architecture of the PhysNet NN was suitably modified and the resulting model (PhysNet-DER) was evaluated with different metrics to quantify its calibration, the quality of its predictions, and whether prediction error and the predicted uncertainty can be correlated. Training on the QM9 database and evaluating data in the test set within and outside the distribution indicate that error and uncertainty are not linearly related. However, the observed variance provides insight into the quality of the data used for training. Additionally, the influence of the chemical space covered by the training data set was studied by using a biased database. The results clarify that noise and redundancy complicate property prediction for molecules even in cases for which changes - such as double bond migration in two otherwise identical molecules - are small. The model was also applied to a real database of tautomerization reactions. Analysis of the distance between members in feature space in combination with other parameters shows that redundant information in the training dataset can lead to large variances and small errors whereas the presence of similar but unspecific information returns large errors but small variances.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine the impact on the functionality associated with visual loss (VFIP) in people with severe ocular trauma (SOT) caused by kinetic impact projectiles used in police crowd control through a prioritization tool in people admitted to a rehabilitation program in Santiago de Chile from December 02, 2019, to November 13, 2020.
    Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of SOT victims (N = 85), average age 31.4 ± 11.9. The data were recorded through a new 9-item screening instrument for assessment and prioritization of rehabilitation created for this emergency scenario.
    Results: The impact of the use of kinetic weapons resulted in monocular blindness in the majority of those affected (n = 68; 80.0%). The highest VFIP observed was among young men from lower social strata. There were extreme difficulties in the performance of productive tasks (occupational and/or educational) (n = 42; 49.4%) and the pursuit of hobbies and pastimes (n = 23; 27.1%), as well as a high difficulty in adapting to changes in brightness (n = 29; 34.1%) and handling objects accurately (n = 22; 25.9%).
    Conclusion: The use of kinetic weapons for crowd control resulted in high and extreme VFIP and, in most cases, monocular blindness, causing major difficulties in work, study, and development of hobbies and pastimes in the affected population, highlighting the urgent need for effective rehabilitative care, which requires special attention in order to generate an adequate rehabilitation program. The use of kinetic weapons for crowd control contravenes international goals, policies, and plans set by the WHO and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness on strategies to prevent avoidable blindness worldwide until 2020. It is essential to ban the use of these weapons in Chile and worldwide, as well as to revise police protocols for crowd control.

    Abstract Bradycardia, frequently observed in preterm infants, presents significant risks due to the immaturity of their autonomic nervous system (ANS) and respiratory systems. These infants may face cardiorespiratory events, leading to severe complications like hypoxemia and neurodevelopmental disorders. Although neonatal care has advanced, the influence of bradycardia on cardiorespiratory coupling (CRC) remains elusive. This exploratory study delves into CRC in preterm infants, emphasizing disparities between events with and without bradycardia. Using the Preterm Infant Cardio-Respiratory Signals (PICS) database, we analyzed interbeat (R-R) and inter-breath intervals (IBI) from 10 preterm infants. The time series were segmented into bradycardic (B) and non-bradycardic (NB) segments. Employing information theory measures, we quantified the irregularity of cardiac and respiratory time series. Notably, B segments had significantly lower entropy values for R-R and IBI than NB segments, while mutual information was higher in NB segments. This could imply a reduction in the complexity of respiratory and cardiac dynamics during bradycardic events, potentially indicating weaker CRC. Building on these insights, this research highlights the distinctive physiological characteristics of preterm infants and underscores the potential of emerging non-invasive diagnostic tools.

    Abstract High-voltage capacitors are key components for circuit breakers and monitoring and protection devices, and are important elements used to improve the efficiency and reliability of the grid. Different technologies are used in high-voltage capacitor manufacturing process, and at all stages of this process polymeric films must be used, along with an encapsulating material, which can be either liquid, solid or gaseous. These materials play major roles in the lifespan and reliability of components. In this paper, we present a review of the different technologies used to manufacture high-voltage capacitors, as well as the different materials used in fabricating high-voltage film capacitors, with a view to establishing a bibliographic database that will allow a comparison of the different technologies.

    Abstract While direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) received expanded labeling for use in atrial fibrillation (AF) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) based on pharmacokinetic trials, little data exist regarding the use of DOACs for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in ESRD patients requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). This retrospective, descriptive cohort study evaluated adult patients with a diagnosis of ESRD on RRT and with a VTE diagnosis receiving apixaban therapy prior to or during admission. The primary outcome was to identify major bleeding events within 72 h of last apixaban dose administration. Secondary outcomes included new VTE while on apixaban, appropriateness of anticoagulation regimen with regards to FDA labeled dosing and frequency, anticoagulation regimen adjustments, and factor Xa inhibitor-specific anti-Xa levels if available. A total of 68 patients met criteria for inclusion in the final analysis. Major bleeding events occurred in 13.2% of patients receiving apixaban within the last 72 h. Recurrent thrombosis occurred in 7.4% of patients. The use of apixaban for VTE in patients with ESRD on RRT led to a higher risk of bleeding compared to that of landmark trials. Therefore, apixaban use should occur following shared decision making especially if there is no contraindication to warfarin.
