Early Detection for Better Patient Outcome: A Case Report on Two Patients Presenting With Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia by Alazar M. Haile, Abrham W. Azale, Birhanu Ayana

“…We also hope that this report serves as an entry point to try to find more patients with this similar condition early in their clinical course. Furthermore, we believe that in order to lessen the overall impact of the illness, it is crucial to provide caregivers with health education about the causes of disease flare-ups.…”

The edge of random tensor eigenvalues with deviation by Nicolas Delporte, Naoki Sasakura

“…We support our claims with Monte Carlo simulations. We believe that our results set the ground for a definition of pseudospectrum of random tensors based on Z-eigenvalues.…”

Worldline Path-Integral Representations for Standard Model Propagators and Effective Actions by Somdatta Bhattacharya

“…To our knowledge, in the places where there has been an attempt at deriving the gauge boson propagator, the derivation is somewhat contrived, and we believe our derivation is more straightforward. Moreover, our incorporation of internal degrees of freedom is novel and sports some new features. …”

The First Galaxies and the Likely Discovery of Their Fossils in the Local Group by Massimo Ricotti

“…The same mechanism could turn dark halos that failed to form stars before reionization into gas-rich “dark galaxies”. We believe that current observational data supports the thesis that a fraction of the new ultra-faint dwarfs discovered in the Local Group are fossil dwarfs and we predict the existence of a population of ultra-faint dwarfs with lower surface brightness than currently observed.…”

Reconstruction of Radiated Gluteal Defects following Sarcoma Resection with Pedicled Sensate Tensor Fascia Lata Flaps by Albert H. Chao, Patrick N. Kearns

“…A pedicled tensor fascia lata (TFL) flap was therefore performed in both cases, which resulted in durable sensate reconstruction with good functional outcomes and no complications. We believe the pedicled TFL flap represents an important option for the reconstruction of oncologic gluteal defects that provides well-vascularized and sensate tissue from outside the zone of radiation without the need for microsurgical techniques.…”

Case Report: Percutaneous Cholecystostomy as the Beginning of Recovery by Gabrielė Gudelytė, Audrius Sileikis

“…In conclusion, percutaneous cholecystostomy can be successful and a valuable option in the short-term treatment of critically ill patients. Although, we believe that these patient’s management decision is based on the surgeon’s clinical judgment and should be individual. …”

Specifics of covering migration problems in regional printed mass media by A.Yu. Anisimov, D.V. Tumanov

“…In particular, they are often described by such neutral lexical units as “refugees”, “displaced persons”, “citizens (of a country)”, and “migrants”, all having a positive connotation. We believe that mass media play an important role under the conditions of international instability in Russia, including the Republic of Tatarstan. …”

A Critical Recognition of the A Philosophy of War from Moseley’s View by Mohammad Reza Ahmadi Tabatabai

“…He said, what I hope to establish in this work is that the Principles of war’s origins involve all aspects of our nature, culture, and thinking. We fight because we believe in fighting, and our beliefs have to change if we wish to abandon war. …”

Genome rearrangements in neurodevelopmental disorders of the central nervous system: origins, genomic mechanisms, functional and clinical consequences. Review article by V. Kučinskas, E. Preikšaitienė, L. Ambrozaitytė, L. Cimbalistienė, A. Utkus

“…Collaboration with foreign scientific institutions for further clinical, molecular and functional investigations of rare causes of intellectual disability has allowed the characterisation of rare known and new syndromes. We believe that new insights into the molecular causes and pathogenesis mechanisms of the intellectual disability may be useful in developing treatment options in the future. …”

About the critical height of a vertical cut by Salençon, Jean

“…Despite the fact that this conclusion cannot be considered as a final one since it is only based upon a full implementation of Drucker’s virtual collapse mechanisms, we believe it may bring some relief as to the reliability of classical analyses that do not take any tension cutoff into account, as a response to Drucker’s warning about “the consequences of assuming soil unable to take tension”.…”

Fourier Transformation-Based Analysis of X-Ray Diffraction Pattern of Keratin for Cancer Detection by Alexander Alekseev, Oleksii Avdieiev, Sasha Murokh, Delvin Yuk, Alexander Lazarev, Daizie Labelle, Lev Mourokh, Pavel Lazarev

“…Excellent classification results are demonstrated, with sensitivity or specificity achieving 100% and the best value for balanced accuracy being 87.5%. We believe that our approach can be extended to human samples to develop a non-invasive, convenient, and cheap method for early cancer detection.…”

Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastasis from Biopsy Associated Hematoma Disruption during Robotic Partial Nephrectomy by Christopher Caputo, Ziho Lee, Andrew Harbin, Daniel Eun

“…During completion left robotic total nephrectomy and omental excision, intraoperative frozen sections confirmed metastatic RCC. We believe that a hematoma seeded with RCC formed as a result of the renal biopsy, and subsequent disruption of the hematoma during RPN caused contamination of RCC into the surrounding structures.…”

Historical perspective and opportunity for computing in memory using floating-gate and resistive non-volatile computing including neuromorphic computing by Jennifer Hasler, Arindam Basu

“…A historical perspective for illustrating FG and memristor/RRAM devices enables comparison of nonvolatile storage (addressing issues related to resolution, lifetime, endurance etc), feedforward computation (different variants of vector matrix multiplication, tradeoffs between power dissipation and signal to noise ratio etc), programming (addressing issues of selectivity, peripheral circuits, charge trapping etc), and learning algorithms (continuous time LMS or batch update), in these systems. We believe this historical perspective is necessary and timely given the increasing interest in using computation in memory with NVM for a wide variety of memory bound applications.…”
