Cartilage destruction in rheumatoid arthritis, its association with functional impairments by Natalia Vladimirovna Chichasova

“…In RA, the investigators identify not only clinical (activity indicators), but also biological (bone, cartilage, and synovium damage markers) predictors for joint injury: CТXII is a marker for cartilage degradation (collagen type II) and CTXI is a marker for bone degradation (collagen type I) and their trends over 4–12 or more weeks. Although the occurrence of erosions is considered to be a major manifestation of joint destruction progression in RA, the functional activity in its early stages is shown to depend on the estimate of joint space narrowing (cartilage degradation) to a greater extent than on that of erosions when evaluating the destruction by the modified Sharp method. …”

CHANGES IN LUNG FUNCTION IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH EXOGENOUS ALLERGIC ALVEOLITIS by V. B. Nefedov, L. A. Popova, E. A. Shergina, N. N. Makaryants

“…Total lung capacity (TLC), lung capacity (LC), forced LC (FLC), intrathoracic volume (ITV), pulmonary residual volume (PRV), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1 ), (FEV1 )/LC%, peak expiratory flow (PEF), maximum expiratory flow rate (MEFR)25, MEFR50, MEFR75, Raw, Rin, Rex, DLCO-SB, DLCO-SB/VА, РаО2 , and РаСО2 were determined in 43 patients with exogenous allergic alveolitis (EAA) before, during, and after treatment with glucocorticosteroids, hemapheresis, ambroxol, and fluimucil. Lung function became better in more than half (53.5%) of the patients and worse in one fourth (25.6%); a combination of positive and negative functional changes was detected in 14.0%. …”

Generative Inverse Design of Metamaterials with Functional Responses by Interpretable Learning by Wei (Wayne) Chen, Rachel Sun, Doksoo Lee, Carlos M. Portela, Wei Chen

“…Unlike data‐intensive and noninterpretable deep‐learning‐based methods, this work proposes the random‐forest‐based interpretable generative inverse design (RIGID), a single‐shot inverse design method for fast generation of metamaterials with on‐demand functional behaviors. RIGID leverages the interpretability of a random forest‐based “design → response” forward model, eliminating the need for a more complex “response → design” inverse model. …”

Nighttime light intensity and brightness suitability in urban functional zones by Ming Liu, Ruicong Li, Yiwei Li, Ezzaddeen Ali Mohammed Saeed AL-Mowallad, Chenglong Wu, Wenjing Wang

“…The results show that: (1) Significant differences in brightness exist among functional zones within the study area, and there is a mismatch between actual demand and nighttime light brightness; (2) The Average Nighttime Radiance per Unit Area and Brightness Factor can more accurately reflect the distribution characteristics of urban nighttime light brightness; (3) Clustering based on the Brightness Factor reveals over-bright and under-bright blocks, identifying commercial and port-industry areas as hotspots of excessive nighttime lighting. …”
