Plasma Cell Leukemia: A Review of 3 Cases Managed in Kenya by Matilda Ong’ondi, Elizabeth Kagotho

“…The diagnosis is made based on at least 20% of total white blood cells being circulating plasma cells with a peripheral blood absolute plasma cell count of at least 2 × 109/l. Treatment with novel agents followed by autologous stem cell transplant in those who are transplant eligible leads to better outcomes.…”

Image Denoising Using Nonlocal Means with Shape-Adaptive Patches and New Weights by Chenglin Zuo, Jun Ma, Hao Xiong, Lin Ran

“…Digital images captured from CMOS/CCD image sensors are prone to noise due to inherent electronic fluctuations and low photon count. To efficiently reduce the noise in the image, a novel image denoising strategy is proposed, which exploits both nonlocal self-similarity and local shape adaptation. …”

Some conceptual and grammatical properties of body part metonymies in English and Bosnian by Imamović Adisa, Ibrišimović Anela Mulahmetović

“…We analysed body part metonymies in terms of some grammatical properties such as the use of singular and plural, specific and generic reference, grammatical recategorisation from count to mass nouns, noun-to-verb conversion, and some conceptual properties such as source-in-target vs. target-in-source metonymies, metonymic chains and combination of metaphor and metonymy. …”

Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia in HIV — Investigate or Just Treat? by Steven Kesten

“…This strategy has not been tested in controlled clinical trials although decision analysis models have attempted to evaluated it, it's liekly reasonable to choose empirical antimicrobial therapy in specific clinical settings such as: (a) typical radiographic picture in a person with dyspnea and/or nonproductive cough. presence of HIV and a CD4 count of less than 200 cells/mm3:(b) previous PCP, typical appearance and the patient is known to tolerate standard anti-PCP medications: and (c) high clinical suspicion in a patient who refuses bronchoscopy yet desires treatment or where bronchoscopy cannot he performed. …”

Enhancing water pump failure prediction using machine learning: a focus on less-explored variables by Reza Rasinojehdehi, Goran Cirovic

“…This study bridges this gap by consulting domain experts to discern essential variables, including water catchment area level, water quality index, lubrication frequency, water reservoir temperature, operating time, and power interruptions count. Employing supervised ML methods, specifically multiple regression and decision tree cart, the research aims to enhance the precision of failure predictions, shedding light on less-explored variables that play a significant role in pump failure.…”
