Reduced Complexity Initial Synchronization for 5G NR Multibeam LEO-Based Non-Terrestrial Networks by Ashish Kumar Meshram, Sumit Kumar, Jorge Querol, Stefano Andrenacci, Symeon Chatzinotas

“…The UE then performs post-compensation to address the residual frequency offset by employing aggregated 5G New Radio (NR) Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), followed by PSS detection, offering two-fold search space reduction during initial synchronization. We provide practical design parameters for the proposed algorithm to ensure that UE can efficiently perform initial synchronization by evaluating approximate bounds on the spot beam radius along with the No-Benefit Region (NBR) bounds of DPC. …”

Polyethylene glycol versus lactulose in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Gilles Jadd Hoilat, Mohamad Fekredeen Ayas, Judie Noemie Hoilat, Ahmed Abu-Zaid, Ceren Durer, Seren Durer, Talal Adhami, Savio John

“…Compared with lactulose, the pooled effect size demonstrated a significantly lower average HE Scoring Algorithm (HESA) Score at 24 hours (Mean difference (MD)=−0.68, 95% CI (−1.05 to –0.31), p<0.001), a higher proportion of patients with reduction of HESA Score by ≥1 grade at 24 hours (risk ratio (RR)=1.40, 95% CI (1.17 to 1.67), p<0.001), a higher proportion of patients with a HESA Score of grade 0 at 24 hours (RR=4.33, 95% CI (2.27 to 8.28), p<0.0010) and a shorter time to resolution of HE group (MD=−1.45, 95% CI (−1.72 to –1.18), p<0.001) in favour of patients treated with PEG.Conclusion PEG leads to a higher drop in the HESA Score and thus leads to a faster resolution of HE compared with lactulose.…”
