Urinary Tract Infections in Kidney Transplant Patients: An Open Challenge—Update on Epidemiology, Risk Factors and Management by Biagio Pinchera, Emilia Trucillo, Alessia D’Agostino, Ivan Gentile

“…Urinary tract infections are one of the main complications in kidney transplant patients, with a significant impact on graft function and survival. In fact, it is estimated that up to 74% of kidney transplant patients experience at least one episode of UTIs in the first year after transplantation, with an increased risk of graft loss and an increased risk of mortality. …”

An Improved YOLOv7-Tiny-Based Algorithm for Wafer Surface Defect Detection by Mengyun Li, Xueying Wang, Hongtao Zhang, Xiaofeng Hu

“…Next, a lightweight convolutional module, ghost shuffle convolution (GSConv), is introduced into the feature fusion network to reduce the network’s parameter count while maintaining a certain level of detection accuracy. Finally, the loss function is optimized by adopting IoU with minimum points distance (MPDIoU) to address issues such as small sizes and dense distributions. …”

The diaphanous gene of Drosophila interacts antagonistically with multiple wing hairs and plays a key role in wing hair morphogenesis. by Qiuheng Lu, Paul N Adler

“…We report here that the formin encoding diaphanous (dia) gene plays a key role in hair morphogenesis. Both loss of function mutations and the expression of a constitutively active Dia led to cells forming both morphologically abnormal hairs and multiple hairs. …”

Nonequilibrium universality of Rydberg-excitation spreading on a dynamic network by Simon Ohler, Daniel Brady, Patrick Mischke, Jana Bender, Herwig Ott, Thomas Niederprüm, Winfried Ripken, Johannes S. Otterbach, Michael Fleischhauer

“…Furthermore, we discuss the influence of dissipation, present in the experiment and a necessary ingredient for the self-organization of the system to the critical point. In particular, we study the potential modification of the universality class by losses as a function of dissipation strength.…”

The comparative efficacy of L-glutamine, celecoxib, and glucosamine sulfate in osteoarthritis management by Zhongyao Hu, Changming Wang, Chen Wang, Junyan He, Yiqun Yan, Zelin Xu, Yangmang Yu, Ya Yu, Huan Cheng, Lei Liu, Miao Tang, Chun Zhang, Haoran Yu, Juehua Jing, Wendan Cheng

“…In addition, patients with mild primary OA were administered L-Gln, GS, or CXB orally for 12 weeks in accordance with the randomization principle. The efficacy end points were the change from baseline to week 24 in the pain and physical function subscale scores of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA Index (WOMAC), and Lequesne score. …”

A novel deep learning approach to field-road semantic segmentation by Bei Wang, Wenze Wang

“…The class imbalance issue between field-road pixels is effectively addressed by employing a pixel-wise weighted cross-entropy loss function in this study. Additionally, the model identifies unique features by evaluating GNSS points’ similarities to adjacent points and their global class counterparts. …”

Electromagnetic Waves in Maxwell’s Theory by V. V. Nevdakh

“…In a standing wave, the total energy density remains constant in time, but it is a function of coordinates: there are points in space where the total energy density of the wave at any time is zero – these are nodes, and there are points where it has a maximum value – these are antinodes. …”

Different Internal Fixation Methods for Sanders Type II and III Calcaneal Fractures: A 5‐Year Retrospective Study and Finite Element Analysis by Dewei Kong, Zhen Yang, Xinbin Fan, Ming Wu, Chao Song, Yan Zhang

“…Results Compared with ELIPIF and TSIPIF, PMISIF has several advantages, including shorter operative times, smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and lower incidences of postoperative complications. At the 12‐month time point after the operation, the percentages of patients with excellent and good American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) functional scores were 96.9%, 91.7%, and 96.2%, respectively, for the three methods, demonstrating similar outcomes. …”

Exposed conductor detection of 10 kV distribution line based on improved YOLOv8 by Qiwen JING, Sipeng HAO, Siyuan LI

“…In the neck network, the connection between high-level and low-level features is enhanced by combining attention embedding module with the cross stage feature fusion module of the original network, thereby analyzing both the overall shape and local details of exposed conductors. For the loss function, distance intersection over union with normalized wasserstein distance is combined to increase focus on cases where targets are small or background interference exists in drone inspection photographs. …”
