The introduction of machine learned potentials (MLPs) has greatly expanded the space available for studying Nuclear Quantum Effects computationally with ab initio path integral (PI) accuracy, with the MLPs' promise of an accuracy comparable to that of ab initio at a fraction of the cost. One of the challenges in development of MLPs is the need for a large and diverse training set calculated by ab initio methods. This dataset should ideally cover the entire phase space, while not searching this space using ab initio methods, as this would be counterproductive and generally intractable with respect to computational time.

So far, using video for emergency calls seems beneficial for patient assessment and dispatcher-assisted first aid. However, the EMS dispatchers' experiences with and perceptions of using video during emergency calls are largely unexplored.

Methods: Records were retrospectively reviewed at 9 referral hospitals for dogs managed with postoperative dRT between January 1, 2010, and January 1, 2020, following surgery for STS. Data related to presentation, surgery, dRT, systemic therapy, and outcome were abstracted.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of CT scans in identifying the locations of liver masses in dogs, finding an overall accuracy of 74.3% for lobes and 88% for divisions of the liver.
- It also noted differences in accuracy among various liver lobes, with the left lateral lobe showing the highest accuracy, while the quadrate and right lateral lobes had significantly lower accuracy rates.
- Lastly, the agreement among radiologists was generally good to excellent for divisions, but more variable for lobe localization, indicating that division-based localization is more reliable.
Background: Since the initial attempt to adapt the anatomical SYNTAX score (aSS) to coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), CCTA imaging technology has evolved, and is currently used as a "decision-maker" for revascularization strategy in complex coronary artery disease (CAD) and has rendered necessary some updating of the aSS to the CCTA modality.
Objectives: The aim is to provide updated definitions of the aSS derived from CCTA in patients with complex CAD undergoing CABG.
Methods: The modifications of CCTA-aSS are the following; (i) updated definition and detection criteria of total occlusion (TO) in CCTA based on length assessment, (ii) inclusion of scoring points for serial bifurcations located in one single coronary segment.
