Characteristics of Daily Walking Bouts as Valid and Reliable Indicators of Exercise Capacity in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Insights From the Randomized Controlled Study With... by Rana Zia Ur Rehman, Federico Parisi, Noman Ashraf, Meenakshi Chatterjee, Robert P. Frantz, Anna R. Hemnes, Nikolay V. Manyakov, Oscar M. Carrasco‐Zevallos, Tarik Yardibi, Mona Selej, Tommaso Mansi, Preston Dunnmon, Dzmitry A. Kaliukhovich

“…Using data from the TRACE study, in which 108 adult patients with PAH were continuously monitored with a wrist‐worn accelerometer, we evaluated whether actigraphy can facilitate continuous monitoring of exercise capacity. Distributions of step rate, distance and duration of patient's walking bouts were estimated at baseline, Week 16 and Week 24 using 2‐week periods of actigraphy data. …”

The initiation of the second-step intradisciplinary tumor board discussion and its impact on treatment decision. Retrospective data analysis of 12 years’ experience in a tertiary o... by László Csaba Mangel, Erika Kövér, Balázs Pécsi, Imre Boncz

“…BackgroundMultidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings are generally accepted forums for the quality of cancer care, however, there is an ongoing discussion about the substantial role of MDTs in reaching optimal treatment decisions. In our tertiary oncology center, a second-step intradisciplinary seu oncotherapy tumor board (OTT) discussion system was introduced to increase the adherence of MDT’s decision making with the knowledge of patients’ preference and tolerance, and to partially relieve MDT’s overwork in the purely adjuvant and the palliative treatment settings. …”

Model of Dynamic Mechanical Parameters and Vibration Analysis in Hot Rolling by Ming Zhang, Zihao Huang, Yanbo Yang

“…To address the problem of the limited prediction of mill vibration due to small sample data in non-steady states, we propose to predict dynamic mechanical parameters (rolling force and rolling torque) based on the TCN-LSTM step strategy transfer model. The prediction accuracies of the TCN-LSTM step strategy transfer model under 1000 sets of training data reach 95.8% and 93.2%, respectively, and at the same time, it saves the time of training and regulation of the deep learning model and can better meet the needs of online prediction. …”
