Malignant biliary obstruction treated with preoperative endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy: A case report by Taira Kuroda, Hideki Miyata, Yuka Kimura, Ayaka Nakamura, Takuya Matsuda, Kana Matsuoka, Mai Fukumoto, Kazuya Murakawa, Taisei Murakami, Hirofumi Izumoto, Kei Onishi, Shogo Kitahata, Kozue Kanemitsu-Okada, Tomoe Kawamura, Fujimasa Tada, Eiji Tsubouchi, Jun Hanaoka, Atsushi Hiraoka, Tomoyuki Ninomiya

“…Transpapillary biliary drainage using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was attempted; however, it was unsuccessful because of duodenal tumor invasion. Therefore, EUS-HGS was performed. Jaundice and cholangitis improved promptly after EUS-HGS, and stent obstruction and migration were not observed before surgery. …”

L’invitation au voyage ou les tableaux en prose d’Alfred Sohn-Rethel by Alexandre Métraux

“…These texts are structurally similar to Walter Benjamin’s “images of thought”, but unlike them, they have not yet been closely analysed. Analysis shows that they all deal with disturbances, irritations, unexpected incidents occurring in the social world—something that is hardly taken into account in Sohn-Rethel’s theoretical writings on the laws governing modern societies.…”

What are the perceived needs of people living with chronic pain regarding physiotherapy services? A scoping review protocol. by Jonathan Gervais-Hupé, Arthur Filleul, Kadija Perreault, Isabelle Gaboury, Timothy H Wideman, Céline Charbonneau, Fatiha Loukili, Martine Gagnon, Anne Hudon

“…It is now widely recognized that health professionals should use interventions that meet the needs of people living with chronic pain. Therefore, physiotherapists should attend to patients' perceived needs regarding physiotherapy services, i.e. the needs that are perceived by patients themselves based on their beliefs, values, preferences and expectations. …”

Chemogenomics for steroid hormone receptors (NR3) by Espen Schallmayer, Laura Isigkeit, Lewis Elson, Susanne Müller, Stefan Knapp, Julian A. Marschner, Daniel Merk

“…Although several NR3 ligands such as glucocorticoids are invaluable drugs, this family is only partially explored, for example, in autoimmune diseases and neurodegeneration, but may hold therapeutic potential in new areas. Here we report a chemogenomics (CG) library to reveal elusive effects of NR3 receptor modulation in phenotypic settings. 34 highly annotated and chemically diverse ligands covering all NR3 receptors were selected considering complementary modes of action and activity, selectivity and lack of toxicity. …”

Sparse adaptive constant blind equalization algorithm for sparse multipath channel by Si-yang MA, Hua PENG, Bin WANG

“…In order to improve the convergence rate of the blind equalizer for sparse multipath channel,a novel blind equalization approach called l₀-norm constraint proportionate normalized least mean square constant algorithm was proposed for M-order phase-shift keying (MPSK) signal.Based on the constant modulus characteristics of MPSK signal and the sparse property of equalizer,a new blind equalization cost function with the l₀-norm penalty on the equalizer tap coefficients was firstly constructed.Then the update formula of the tap coefficients was derived according to the gradient descent algorithm.Moreover,the iteration step was updated by drawing upon the normalized proportionate factor.The algorithm not only assigned step sizes proportionate to the magnitude of the current individual tap weights,but also attracted the inactive taps to zero adaptively.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing blind equalization algorithms for sparse channel in reducing ISI and improving convergence rate.…”
