Comparison of thermal ablation and surgery for hyperparathyroidism: a meta-analysis by Huan-yu Cui, Xiu-mei Bai, Hong Yang, Yun He

“…The results indicated no significant difference in parathyroid hormone levels between the two treatment options (mean difference: 29.25, 95% CI: −4.99–63.69, p = 0.09), calcium (MD: 0.00, 95%CI: 0.07–0.08, p = 0.94), phosphorus (MD: −0.05, 95% CI: −0.13–0.04, p = 0.28) and the risk of persistence and/or recurrence (OR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.63–1.62, p = 0.97). The probability of hoarseness (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.35–0.93, p = 0.02) and hypocalcemia (OR: −0.12, 95% CI: −0.19- −0.05, p < 0.01) was lower after thermal ablation than with surgery. …”

Assessment of seismic spatiotemporal characteristics and migration distance in the Badong section of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area by Guoyong Duan, Fei Li, Kongwei Wang, Yaobo Xu

“…The results reveal that reservoir-induced seismicity demonstrates short-term cycles characterized by alternating ''active periods'' and ''quiet periods,'' as well as long-term cycles with the combined periods. The probability of earthquakes occurring within one year ​at the epicentre is relatively high and decreases after four years. …”

Automatic monitoring of treated water released from wastewater treatment plants using model-based clustering with density estimation by Sheik Faritha Begum, K Lokeshwaran

“…Unlike standard clustering algorithms like K-means, hierarchical that produce optimized clusters in statistical terms that deviate from naturally categorized clusters, model-based clustering with density estimation operates on the assumption that each data object originates from the mixture of underlying probability distributions. Water quality parameters like suspended solids (SS) have been considered for the analysis. …”
