Current Indications for Surgical Repair in Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Ascending Aortic Ectasia by Christian D. Etz, Martin Misfeld, Michael A. Borger, Maximilian Luehr, Elfriede Strotdrees, Friedrich-Wilhelm Mohr

“…In asymptomatic patients with a well-functioning BAV, elective repair is recommended for diameters ≥50 mm, or if the aneurysm is rapidly progressing (rate of 5 mm/year), or in case of a strong family history of dissection/rupture/sudden death, or with planned pregnancy. As diameter is likely not the most reliable predictor of rupture and dissection and the majority of BAV patients may never experience an aortic catastrophe at small diameters, an overly aggressive approach almost certainly will put some patients with BAV unnecessarily at risk of operative and early mortality. …”

VMLP neural network design using optimization algorithms to predict spider suspend (Case Study: Watershed Dam Kardeh) by masooume darmani, mohammad nohtani, haydeh ara, Ali golkarian, Salman Sharif Azari

“…One of the most important processes of erosion and sediment transport in streams is the river most complex engineering  issues.this process special effects on water quality indices, action suburbs floor and destroyed much damage to the river and also into the development plans  Lack of continuity sediment sampling and measurement of many existing stations. due to the low number of hydrometric stations in Iran and the lack of continuity of sediment sampling and measuring in many existing stations, on one hand the exact amount of sediment load in many rivers in the country is not available and because of differences in climatic, hydrological and topographical conditions in the country, on the other hand, the preparation and calibration of sediment Erosion Models different regions, is unavoidableCalibration models of erosion and sedimentation in different locations is difficult and requires financial capital andthe time . the But evolutionary optimization algorithm able to resolve this problems of mathematical and experimental methods in this paper, a new optimization algorithm spiders can be made to education And the evolutionary pattern for input (discharge and precipitation) and rain-gauge gauging stations and Watershed Kardeh designated evolutionary algorithms and artificial network performance for 24 year 24-year dam catchment Kardeh for the period studied. …”

Ethical dilemmas in the care of patients suffering from psychotic catatonia: a case report by Luigi F. Saccaro, Luigi F. Saccaro, Barbara Privé, Ambra D’Imperio, Ambra D’Imperio, Claire Bridel, Othman Sentissi, Othman Sentissi, Alexandre Wullschleger

“…Ethical debates focus on respecting autonomy, minimizing damaging effects, and acting in the patient’s best interest.CaseWe present a unique case of a young patient suffering from a first episode of catatonic psychosis, in which striking this balance was especially difficult given the patient’s complete mutism and opposition, given the absence of immediate danger to herself or others, the lack of anamnestic information, and her avoidance of social support, which would have meant that she would not have encountered psychiatric care, were it not for an exceptional government plan in place at the time of hospitalization. The patient showed a very favorable, persistent response to nonvoluntary treatment with haloperidol and lorazepam, which could be discussed and debriefed once she recovered, after almost 5 months of hospitalization and follow-up.DiscussionArguments for and against nonvoluntary treatment are reviewed based on discussion with the local ethics committee, providing a useful reference for future similar cases. …”
