Electrical Engineering and Systems Science > Systems and Control
Backup control barrier functions (bCBFs) enforce safety for input-constrained nonlinear systems using a pre-certified backup set and controller, but their performance depends strongly on this prescribed pair. This letter develops a constructive method for synthesizing a less conservative backup pair via finite horizon sum-of-squares (SOS) backward reachability.
Electrical Engineering and Systems Science > Systems and Control
We propose a notion of robust adaptive backup control barrier functions for nonlinear control affine systems with parametric uncertainty in both the drift dynamics and actuation matrix. Backup control barrier functions guarantee safety by predicting the system's trajectory under a pre-certified safe controller.

Lung shunting and radiation pneumonitis after holmium-166 TARE: a case study - EJNMMI Reports
Abstract The assessment of the lung shunting fraction (LSF) in yttrium-90 (90Y) or holmium-166 (166Ho) transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is customary in order to reduce the risk of radiation pneumonitis (RP). Lung shunting detected through a test dose is considered a relative contraindication, and it is generally advised to keep the predicted lung dose below 30 Gy. Few cases of RP have been reported in the literature. We present two cases of RP after treatment with 166Ho TARE.
Efficacy and Safety of Wound Catheter Infusion with Ropivacaine After Abdominal Surgery in Children Aged < 1 Year: A Randomized Controlled Trial - Pediatric Drugs

An Introduction to the Complete Blood Count for Clinical Chemists: White Blood Cells
The most frequently ordered laboratory test worldwide is the complete blood count (CBC). As clinical chemists are increasingly assigned to assist or direct laboratories outside of the traditional clinical chemistry sections, such as the automated hematology section, expertise must be established. This review article is a dedication to that ongoing effort.
Type I interferon biomarker in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: associations of Siglec-1 with disease activity and treatment response
Novel biomarkers are needed to guide therapy in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Expression of Siglec-1, a type I interferon biomarker, was examined in adult patients with IIM in relation to disease activity and treatment response. We analysed PBMC samples from 19 newly diagnosed adult IIM patients who participated in a phase-2 pilot study on efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) monotherapy, and from 9 healthy controls.

The chloroplast protease system degrades stromal DUF760-1 and DUF-2 domain-containing proteins at different rates
The chloroplast chaperone CLPC1 aids to select, unfold and deliver hundreds of proteins to the CLP protease for degradation. Through in vivo CLPC1 trapping we previously identified dozens of proteins that are (potential) substrate adaptors or substrates for the CLP chaperone-protease system. Here we show that two of these highly trapped proteins, DUF760-1 and DUF760-2, are substrates for the CLP protease in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).
FDA’s Final Rule on Laboratory Developed Tests
On May 6, 2024, the US FDA published its final rule on laboratory developed tests (LDTs) in the Federal Register (1). Most of the document is considered a preamble discussing background/justification, a phase-out policy of enforcement discretion, and the FDA’s responses to public comments on the proposed rule. The final rule itself is essentially a 10-word addition to the definition of in vitro diagnostic products (IVDs) found in the US Code of Federal Regulations.

Evaluation of exclusive enteral nutrition and corticosteroid induction treatment in new-onset moderate-to-severe luminal paediatric Crohn’s disease - European Journal of Pediatrics
Abstract To induce remission in luminal paediatric Crohn’s disease (CD), the ESPGHAN/ECCO guideline recommends treatment with exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) or oral corticosteroids. In newly diagnosed moderate-to-severe paediatric CD patients, we determined the proportion of patients in which EEN or corticosteroids induced remission and maintained remission on azathioprine monotherapy. We included patients from the “TISKids” study assigned to the conventional treatment arm.

pybaobabdt
The pybaobabdt package provides a python implementation for the visualization of decision trees. The technique is based on the scientific paper BaobabView: Interactive construction and analysis of decision trees developed by the TU/e. A typical decision tree is visualized using a standard node link diagram: The problem, however, is that information is not easily extracted from this. Which classes are easy to separate for example, which classes are similar, where does the main flow of items go etc.
Farm and Livelihood Characteristics After ITM Vaccination Against East Coast Fever in Tanzania
Introduction East Coast Fever (ECF), caused by the haemoprotozoan parasite Theileria parva and transmitted by ticks, causes considerable economic losses in 11 countries in Eastern, Southern and Central Africa. With about half of this region's 75 million cattle being at risk of ECF (1), losses caused by this disease are considerable, but quantitative assessments vary widely. For instance, in Tanzania the estimates of annual production losses due to ECF range from US$ 43 million [(2), cited by Ref.
Importance of tyrosine phosphorylation for transmembrane signaling in plants
The regulation of pTyr through PTPs may have promoted the emergence of pTyr-binding domains, i.e. SH2 and PTB domains [22]. The choanozoan SH2 domain characteristically folds into an αβββ(β)α architecture. The β-strands form an antiparallel β-sheet, which separates the α-helices on either site. In the canonical SH2-binding mode, pTyr is coordinated by residues in the conserved Gx[YF]xxR motif of βB and bound between the αA-helix and the β-sheets [25, 102].
Metabolomics for clinical use and research in chronic kidney disease
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high prevalence in the general population and is associated with high mortality; a need therefore exists for better biomarkers for diagnosis, monitoring of disease progression and therapy stratification. Moreover, very sensitive biomarkers are needed in drug development and clinical research to increase understanding of the efficacy and safety of potential and existing therapies.
