    Abstract
    Introduction:
    The determinants influencing the risk for complications of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomies (LDP) are not yet fully defined, thus we aimed to determine risk factors for serious perioperative morbidity after LDP with spleen preservation, LDP and radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy for adenocarcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas (RAMPS).

    Material and methods:
    Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients that underwent LDP between January 2019 and December 2022. The study group included cases of serious perioperative morbidity (III-V grades in Clavien-Dindo classification) during a 30-day period after operation. The control group consisted of patients without serious perioperative morbidity. As many as 142 patients were included in the study.

    Results:
    Serious perioperative morbidity was found in 33 (23.24%) operated patients, while mortality in 3 cases (2.11%). Serious perioperative morbidity after LDP with spleen preservation was found in 9/68 (13.2%) patients (27.3% of the perioperative morbidity group). Thirteen out of 51 patients, i.e. 25.5%, after LDP with splenectomy were included in the perioperative morbidity group (39.4%). Serious perioperative morbidity after RAMPS was found in 11/23 (47.8%) patients (33.3% of the perioperative morbidity group). In multivariate logistic regression, the need for splenectomy during pancreatectomy (OR 3.66, 95%CI 1.20-11.18) and tumor above 28 millimeters in size (OR 3.01, 95%CI 1.19-9.59) were independent risk factors for serious perioperative morbidity.

    Conclusions:
    The need for splenectomy during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and tumor size above 28 millimeters were independent risk factors for serious perioperative morbidity after laparoscopic distal pancreatectomies.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish whether laparoscopic RAMPS (L-RAMPS) is a safe procedure with better oncological outcomes compared to laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) with splenectomy among patients with distal pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
    Methods: This is a retrospective study performed on consecutive patients who underwent L-RAMPS and LDP with splenectomy for resectable or borderline resectable PDAC of the body and tail. In this paper, we presented our technique of laparoscopic RAMPS and analyzed intraoperative and perioperative complications, oncological efficacy, and long-term survival.
    Results: The study included 12 patients in the L-RAMPS group and 13 patients in the LDP with splenectomy. L-RAMPS was associated with significantly higher rates of R0 resection (91.7% vs. 69.2%, p = 0.027). There were no differences between the L-RAMPS and LDP with splenectomy groups in intraoperative blood loss (400 mL vs 400 mL, p = 0.783) and median operative time (250 min vs 220 min, p = 0.785). No differences were found in terms of perioperative complications, including the incidence of pancreatic fistula.
    Conclusion: Laparoscopic RAMPS is a feasible and safe procedure. It provides higher radicality as compared with LDP with splenectomy, without increasing the risk of complications. Further studies are necessary to evaluate long-term outcomes.

    Abstract In this paper, the performance of artificial neural networks in option pricing was analyzed and compared with the results obtained from the Black-Scholes-Merton model, based on the historical volatility. The results were compared based on various error metrics calculated separately between three moneyness ratios. The market data-driven approach was taken to train and test the neural network on the real-world options data from 2009 to 2019, quoted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The artificial neural network did not provide more accurate option prices, even though its hyperparameters were properly tuned. The Black-Scholes-Merton model turned out to be more precise and robust to various market conditions. In addition, the bias of the forecasts obtained from the neural network differed significantly between moneyness states. This study provides an initial insight into the application of deep learning methods to pricing options in emerging markets with low liquidity and high volatility.

    Purpose: This project aimed to determine whether a supportive calculator that automates the vial selection process might offer a practical and efficient method of reducing pharmaceutical expenditures through minimizing preventable drug waste in outpatient pharmacy settings from fiscal year (FY) 2021 to FY 2023.
    Summary: Drug waste is a substantial target of cost-saving efforts in the areas of oncology and autoimmune therapy, which involve use of a vast number of high-cost medications packaged in single-dose vials of varying strength. To facilitate selection of the optimal combination of medication vials and thereby minimize preventable drug waste, a Microsoft Excel-based calculator was developed for use by staff of a large oncology pharmacy network. Twenty-three high-cost chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody medications were identified as initial targets for the drug waste prevention initiative. After dissemination and implementation of the calculator and provision of monthly pharmacy staff education, the dollar value of preventable drug waste and the number of suboptimal vial combination selections were reduced by 51% ($412,300) and 54% (315 selections), respectively, in fiscal year 2022 and further reduced by 46% ($183,400) and 27% (71 selections), respectively, in fiscal year 2023.
    Conclusion: After implementation of an automated vial selection tool, preventable drug waste and the quantity of suboptimal vial combination selections were markedly reduced across 11 outpatient compounding pharmacies.

    Abstract Introduction: Resection of the portal vein or superior mesenteric vein infiltrated by the pancreatic cancer is currently a standard during open pancreatic surgery for cancer. When found intraoperatively it often leads to conversion. Nowadays, research data for laparoscopic pancreatectomies with major venous resections and reconstructions are scarce.
    Aim: To present our own results of laparoscopic total pancreatectomies, pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomies (RAMPS) performed for cancer with major venous resection and reconstructions of the portal system.
    Material and methods: This is a retrospective study of our own clinical material of consecutive patients treated for adenocarcinoma of pancreas who underwent laparoscopic pancreatectomies with major venous resection and reconstruction in 2020 and 2021.
    Results: The study included 6 females and 2 males in median age of 68 years (56-77). 6 tumors were located in the pancreatic head, 1 in the pancreatic neck and 1 in the pancreatic body. Surgical procedures included 5 total pancreatectomies, 2 RAMPS and 1 Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy. There were no conversions. Median time of vascular closure was 55.5 (41-70) min. Median blood loss was 500 (250-900) ml. Median length of hospital stay (LOS) was 18.5 (11-34) days. We observed no complications related directly to vascular resection.
    Conclusions: Laparoscopic approach for pancreatectomies with portal or superior mesenteric vein resections could be a safe and feasible approach in the hands of an experienced surgeon.

    Abstract In this paper we propose a way of using depth maps transformed into 3D point clouds to classify human activities. The activities are described as time sequences of feature vectors based on the Viewpoint Feature Histogram descriptor (VFH) computed using the Point Cloud Library. Recognition is performed by two types of classifiers: (i) k-NN nearest neighbors' classifier with Dynamic Time Warping measure, (ii) bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) deep learning networks. Reduction of classification time for the k-NN by introducing a two tier model and improvement of BiLSTM-based classification via transfer learning and combining multiple networks by fuzzy integral are discussed. Our classification results obtained on two representative datasets: University of Texas at Dallas Multimodal Human Action Dataset and Mining Software Repositories Action 3D Dataset are comparable or better than the current state of the art.

    Abstract The paper addresses the recognition of dynamic Polish Sign Language expressions in an experimental system supporting deaf people in an office when applying for an ID card. A method of processing a continuous stream of RGB-D data and a feature vector are proposed. The classification is carried out using the k-nearest neighbors algorithm with dynamic time warping, hidden Markov models, and bidirectional long short-term memory. The leave-one-subject-out protocol is used for the dataset containing 121 Polish Sign Language sentences performed five times by four deaf people. A data augmentation method is also proposed and tested. Preliminary observations and conclusions from the use of the system in a laboratory, as well as in real conditions with an experimental installation in the Office of Civil Affairs are given.

    Abstract The increasing prevalence of bariatric surgery has resulted in a rise in the number of redo procedures as well. While redo bariatric surgery has demonstrated its effectiveness, there is still a subset of patients who may not derive any benefits from it. This poses a significant challenge for bariatric surgeons, especially when there is a lack of clear guidelines. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of patients who underwent Re-Redo bariatric surgery. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on a group of 799 patients who underwent redo bariatric surgery between 2010 and 2020. Among these patients, 20 individuals underwent a second elective redo bariatric surgery (Re-Redo) because of weight regain (15 patients) or insufficient weight loss, i.e. < 50% EWL (5 patients). Mean BMI before Re-Redo surgery was 38.8 ± 4.9 kg/m
