Enhancing Robustness of Variational Data Assimilation in Chaotic Systems: An α-4DVar Framework with Rényi Entropy and α-Generalized Gaussian Distributions by Yuchen Luo, Xiaoqun Cao, Kecheng Peng, Mengge Zhou, Yanan Guo

“…To address these issues, this paper proposes a non-Gaussian nonlinear data assimilation method called α-4DVar, based on Rényi entropy and the α-generalized Gaussian distribution. By incorporating the heavy-tailed property of Rényi entropy, the objective function and its gradient suitable for non-Gaussian errors are derived, and numerical experiments are conducted using the Lorenz-63 model. …”

Total thyroidectomy performed under general anesthesia with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during a thyroid storm: a case report by Hyung Gon Lee, Joon-Suk Bom, Leyeoin Lee, Joungmin Kim

“…ECMO is categorized into two types: venoarterial (V-A) ECMO, which provides both cardiac and pulmonary support, and venovenous (V-V) ECMO, which supports only pulmonary function. Surgery is generally not recommended for patients with unstable TS due to the high risk of complications, even when ECMO support is in place. …”
