    Abstract The Artificial Electric Field Algorithm (AEFA) stands out as a physics-inspired metaheuristic, drawing inspiration from Coulomb's law and electrostatic force; however, while AEFA has demonstrated efficacy, it can face challenges such as convergence issues and suboptimal solutions, especially in high-dimensional problems. To overcome these challenges, this paper introduces a modified version of AEFA, named mAEFA, which leverages the capabilities of Lévy flights, simulated annealing, and the Adaptive

    Abstract We consider a problem in which the trajectory of a mobile 3D sensor must be optimized so that certain objects are both found in the overall scene and covered by the point cloud, as fast as possible. This problem is called target search and coverage, and the paper provides an end-to-end deep reinforcement learning (RL) solution to solve it. The deep neural network combines four components: deep hierarchical feature learning occurs in the first stage, followed by multi-head transformers in the second, max-pooling and merging with bypassed information to preserve spatial relationships in the third, and a distributional dueling network in the last stage. To evaluate the method, a simulator is developed where cylinders must be found by a Kinect sensor. A network architecture study shows that deep hierarchical feature learning works for RL and that by using farthest point sampling (FPS) we can reduce the amount of points and achieve not only a reduction of the network size but also better results. We also show that multi-head attention for point-clouds helps to learn the agent faster but converges to the same outcome. Finally, we compare RL using the best network with a greedy baseline that maximizes immediate rewards and requires for that purpose an oracle that predicts the next observation. We decided RL achieves significantly better and more robust results than the greedy strategy.

    Abstract Simple and fast simultaneous quantifications in water of anti-inflammatory drugs, which belong to the emerging pollutants, represents a great challenge for water quality control. The development of electrochemical methods to meet the simultaneous and concomitant detection requirements depends mainly on the electrode material. The fullerene‑carbon nanofiber (FULL/CNF) and graphene‑carbon nanotubes (GR/CNT) paste electrodes as sensing elements were employed for the first time for the determination of diclofenac (DCF), naproxen (NPX) and ibuprofen (IBP) simultaneously and concomitantly. The comparative morphostructural and electrochemical characterizations of both electrodes were achieved by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Differential-pulsed voltammetry (DPV), chronoamperometry (CA) and multiple-pulsed amperometry (MPA) were used for detection tests. FULL/CNF electrode was suitable to develop a simultaneous DPV-based detection methodology that allowed reaching the lowest limit of detections of 0.230 nM for DCF, 0.310 nM for NPX and 0.180 nM for IBP. GR/CNT electrode did not provide stability for DPV-based detection, but the lowest limits of detection of 0.149 nM for DCF, 0.809 nM for NPX and 0.640 nM for IBP were achieved by MPA-based methodology. Both electrodes, linked to specific detection technique, showed good reproducibility, stability and ability to measure DCF, NPX and IBP simultaneously in aqueous solution. The satisfactory results achieved by analysis of real surface water sample (Bega River, Timisoara city, Romania) indicated that the proposed voltammetric and amperometric methodologies using both electrodes have great potential for practical applications in analysis of different water samples.

  8. Article: Effect of small bowel transit time on accuracy of video capsule endoscopy in evaluating suspected small bowel bleeding.

    Abstract Background: Obscure small bowel bleeding is defined as gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) that is unidentifiable with esophagogastroduodenoscopy and a colonoscopy with video capsule endoscopy (VCE) being the next gold standard step for evaluation. Small bowel transit time (SBTT) is a metric of a VCE study that is defined as the time the capsule takes to travel through the small intestine.
    Aim: To determine if SBTT within the VCE study, correlates to overall detection of obscure small bowel bleeds. Furthermore, we attempted to identify any existing correlation between SBTT and re-bleeding after a negative VCE study.
    Methods: This is a single center retrospective analysis of VCE studies performed for overt and occult GIB at Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia, between 2015 and 2019. Inclusion criteria primarily consisted of patients 18 years or older who had a VCE study done as part of the workup for a GIB. Patients with incomplete VCEs, poor preparation, or with less than 6 mo of follow up were excluded. A re-bleeding event was defined either as overt or occult within a 6-mo timeframe. Overt re-bleeding was defined as Visible melena or hematochezia with > 2 gm/dL drop in hemoglobin defined an overt re-bleeding event; whereas an unexplained > 2 gm/dL drop in hemoglobin with no visible bleeding defined an occult re-bleed.
    Results: Results indicated that there was a significant and positive point biserial correlation between SBTT of 220 min and detection of a bleeding focus with a statistically significant p value of 0.008. However, the area under the curve was negligible when trying to identify a threshold time for SBTT to discriminate between risk of re-bleeding events after a negative VCE.
    Conclusion: In terms of SBTT and association with accuracy of VCE finding a bleeding focus, 220 min was found to be adequate transit time to accurately find a bleeding focus, when present. It was found that no threshold SBTT could be identified to help predict re-bleeding after a negative VCE.

    Abstract Background: Stent enhancement techniques allow adequate visualization of stent deformation or incomplete stent expansion at the ostium of the side branch. Measuring the stent enhancement side branch length (SESBL) could reflect procedural success in terms of optimal stent expansion and apposition with better long-term outcomes. A longer SESBL may reflect a better stent apposition at the polygon of confluence and at the side branch (SB) ostium.
    Methods: We evaluated 162 patients receiving the left main (LM) provisional one-stent technique and measured the SESBL, dividing them into two groups: SESBL≤ 2.0 mm and SESBL > 2.0 mm.
    Results: The mean SESBL was 2.0 ± 1.2 mm. More than half of the bifurcations had both main and side branch lesions (Medina 1-1-1) (84 patients, 51.9%) and the length of the SB disease was 5.2 ±1.8 mm. Kissing balloon inflation (KBI) was performed in 49 patients (30.2%). During follow-up (12 months), there was a significantly higher rate of cardiac death in the SESBL ≤ 2.0 mm group (
    Conclusion: Suboptimal SESBL is positively correlated with worse outcomes and SB compromise. This novel sign could aid the LM operator to assess the level of stent expansion at the ostium of the SB in the absence of intracoronary imaging.

    Abstract Immature sacrococcygeal teratoma represents a histological form with rapid tumor growth, a risk of premature birth, an enhanced rate of complications, an increased risk of recurrence, and a higher mortality rate than the mature type. Thus, prenatal diagnosis of immature forms would significantly improve the prognosis of these cases. To this end, we performed an extensive literature review on the diagnosis, therapeutic management, and follow-up of immature teratomas. Regarding this medical conduct, we also presented our case. In conclusion, the early identification of immature sacrococcygeal teratomas with or without other associated structural abnormalities and their correct therapeutic approach are basic principles for a favorable evolution of these cases.
