    Abstract Serotonin-producing tumours are a subset of neuroendocrine tumours which, when active, can lead to carcinoid syndrome caused by the secretion of vasoactive substances such as serotonin, histamine, and bradykinins. In addition to the common symptoms of flushing, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and carcinoid heart disease, carcinoid syndrome is also known to cause psychiatric symptoms of depression as well as anxiety and, very rarely, psychotic symptoms. The treatment of the neuropsychiatric manifestations of the disease is also complicated by the concurrent use of somatostatin analogues, which also affect total circulating serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter implicated in the aforementioned psychiatric disorders. In this case report, we will discuss the management of psychotic depression in a 64-year-old female patient with a metastatic carcinoid tumour and our rationale for the use of vortioxetine in her treatment.

    Abstract Background: Electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring and recording are seen as the most commonly used non-invasive diagnostic tool to identify cardiac arrhythmia and myocardial damage in the clinical setting. There is an expectation that critical care nurses are ideally trained to interpret abnormalities and morphology in the ECG more proficiently than nurses from general ward areas. However, the ability to interpret and recognise ECG abnormalities is dependent on which critical care area nurses are currently working in and their level of experience.
    Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate registered nurses' knowledge in being able to identify and interpret select electrocardiographic rhythms.
    Study design: This was a cross-sectional study that evaluated registered nurses' knowledge of electrocardiogram rhythm identification and interpretation. A convenience sample of 105 registered nurses currently enrolled in a 2-year Master's programme leading to critical care specialism and advanced practice nurse award were recruited. A 20-item multiple choice questionnaire that provided examples of electrocardiogram rhythm (n=14) abnormalities and rhythm abnormalities caused by electrolyte disturbances (n=6) RESULTS: The study included registered nurses from critical care and general ward areas. The overall results were poor with only 55% of questions answered correctly. Coronary care nurses scored the highest in identifying ECG rhythms (12/20 ± 1.58; p < .001). When ECG abnormalities associated with electrolyte imbalances were analysed, both groups were unable to identify the effects of hypokalaemia and hypomagnesaemia effectively (p = .748). Length of time as a registered nurse (r = -0.304, p = .002) and length of time in current work environment were weakly correlated (r = -0.328, p = .001). Having a critical care background showed a positive relationship with nursing knowledge of ECG rhythm identification (r = 0.614, p < .001).
    Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that nurses have a poor knowledge of ECG rhythm identification and interpretation, a consistent finding from other work. A possible solution is a revamp of education and training associated with ECG recognition and morphology.
    Relevance to clinical practice: Monitoring and assessing ECG morphology provide important details about cardio-electroconductive stability, especially with fluctuations in serum electrolyte levels seen in critical illness or trauma. For this, critical nurses must improve their proficiency through education/training or internal quality improvement activities in detecting abnormalities associated with ECG changes beyond those most easily recognizable rhythms such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.

    Abstract In the realm of financial decision-making, predicting stock prices is pivotal. Artificial intelligence techniques such as long short-term memory networks (LSTMs), support-vector machines (SVMs), and natural language processing (NLP) models are commonly employed to predict said prices. This paper utilizes stock percentage change as training data, in contrast to the traditional use of raw currency values, with a focus on analyzing publicly released news articles. The choice of percentage change aims to provide models with context regarding the significance of price fluctuations and overall price change impact on a given stock. The study employs specialized BERT natural language processing models to predict stock price trends, with a particular emphasis on various data modalities. The results showcase the capabilities of such strategies with a small natural language processing model to accurately predict overall stock trends, and highlight the effectiveness of certain data features and sector-specific data.

    Abstract Background: This paper reports our experience in managing dizzy patients remotely during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, and explored its safety as an alternative to face-to-face consultations.
    Methods: Dizzy patients referred by their general practitioner were contacted to answer a validated questionnaire. Clinicians recorded the time needed for consultations, and the diagnosis at each of the following assessment stages: after review of the electronic general practitioner letter; following completion of the questionnaire; following the telephone consultation; and/or at follow up. Patients were telephoned no earlier than three months later to determine satisfaction with the service and symptom resolution. Electronic patient records were checked for presentation to hospital because of dizziness.
    Results: Seventy patients had telephone consultations. None presented to the emergency department or were admitted. The majority of consultations took 15-30 minutes. The most diagnosed condition was benign positional paroxysmal vertigo. Seventy-nine per cent of patients were satisfied with the service. The questionnaire and telephone consultations demonstrated the greatest diagnosis agreement (κ = 0.40).
    Conclusion: Validated questionnaire and telephone consultations are a safe alternative to face-to-face consultations. Our patient referral pathway has now changed to include elements of the questionnaire.

    Abstract The equipartition theorem is an elegant cornerstone theory of thermal and statistical physics. However, it fails to address some contemporary problems, such as those associated with optical and acoustic trapping, due to the non-Hermitian nature of the external wave-induced force. We use stochastic calculus to solve the Langevin equation and thereby analytically generalize the equipartition theorem to a theory that we denote the non-Hermitian non-equipartition theory. We use the non-Hermitian non-equipartition theory to calculate the relevant statistics, which reveal that the averaged kinetic and potential energies are no longer equal to k
