Optimization of Urban Fire Emergency Resource Allocation Based on Pre-Allocated Swarm Algorithm by Xiaolei Zhang, Kaigong Zhao, Shang Gao, Changming Li

“…Based on several key factors such as the number of trapped individuals and hazardous chemical leaks during the early stages of an incident, an emergency weight system for resource allocation is proposed to effectively address complex situations. In addition, a multi-objective optimization model is built to achieve the shortest response time for emergency rescue teams and the lowest cost for material transportation. …”

The Pathogenesis of Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and Cervical Adenitis Syndrome: A Review of Current Research by Barbara Kraszewska-Głomba, Agnieszka Matkowska-Kocjan, Leszek Szenborn

“…The absence of a clear monogenic trait indicates a heterogenous, polygenic, or complex inheritance of PFAPA syndrome. As two mutations with a possible functional effect on the inflammasomes (MEFV E148Q and NLRP3 Q703K) have been found in several PFAPA cohorts, the role of inflammasome-related genes in PFAPA pathogenesis cannot be excluded. …”
