Two optimization algorithms VOLO™ and sequential optimization algorithm (SEQU) are compared in the Precision® treatment planning system from Accuray® for stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic bod...
Sixty clinical treatment cases were compared. Entities include Acoustic neuroma (AN), lung metastases, and liver metastases. In each entity, 10 SEQU and 10 VOLO™ treatment plans were optimized. The Ra...
AN treatment plans showed significant differences for the number of nodes, beams, total MU, treatment time, D98%, D100% for the target volume, and the doses for all organs at risk. VOLO™ achieved bett...
The results of the present study indicate that VOLO™ should be used in place of SEQU as a standard for AN cases moving forward. Despite the lack of significance in the lung and liver cases, VOLO™ opti...
This study presents three distributed beamforming algorithms to address the challenges of positioning and signal phase errors in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) arrays that hinder effective beamforming....
The rise in nonmedical opioid overdoses over the last two decades necessitates improved detection technologies. Manual opioid screening exams can exhibit excellent sensitivity for identifying the risk...
This article proposes a cuckoo algorithm (GFCS) based on the global feedback strategy and innovatively introduces a "re-fly" mechanism. In GFCS, the process of the algorithm is adjusted and controlled...
This research dealt with the problem of scheduling applied to the supercomputer's execution. The goal is to develop an appreciated algorithm that schedules a group of several programs characterized by...
Dense depth perception is critical for many applications. However, LiDAR sensors can only provide sparse depth measurements. Therefore, completing the sparse LiDAR data becomes an important task. Due ...
Postpartum psychosis (PPP) is a psychiatric emergency that generally warrants acute inpatient care. PPP is marked by the sudden onset of affective and psychotic symptoms with a rapid deterioration in ...
We conducted a PubMed database search for various terms involving PPP and its treatment and included peer-reviewed articles published in English....
To provide a treatment algorithm for the management of PPP based on available evidence....
Pharmacological therapy is the mainstay of PPP management in the acute phase. Evidence points to a combination of antipsychotics and lithium in the acute treatment of PPP. Electroconvulsive therapy ca...
Early detection and prompt treatment with antipsychotics and lithium, followed by maintenance treatment with lithium, is associated with a favourable prognosis in PPP....
Flux balance analysis (FBA) is an optimization based approach to find the optimal steady state of a metabolic network, commonly of microorganisms such as yeast strains and Escherichia coli. However, t...
The new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension include a new diagnostic algorithm and provide specific recommendations for the required diagnostic procedures, including s...
MINOCA is a syndrome that encompasses several pathologies and occurs in the clinical context of an Acute Coronary Syndrome. Its incidence varies according to the population studied, the diagnostic met...
