Forecasting intraoperative hypotension during hepatobiliary surgery.

Prediction and avoidance of intraoperative hypotension (IOH) can lead to less postoperative morbidity. Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being applied to predict IOH. We hypothesize that incorporating demographic and physiological features in an ML model will improve the performance of IOH prediction.

Predicting cognitive dysfunction and regional hubs using Braak staging amyloid-beta biomarkers and machine learning.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional stage between normal aging and early Alzheimer's disease (AD). The presence of extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) in Braak regions suggests a connection with cognitive dysfunction in MCI/AD. Investigating the multivariate predictive relationships between regional Aβ biomarkers and cognitive function can aid in the early detection and prevention of AD.

Salience network anatomical and molecular markers are linked with cognitive dysfunction in mild cognitive impairment.

Background And Purpose: Recent studies indicate disrupted functional mechanisms of salience network (SN) regions-right anterior insula, left anterior insula, and anterior cingulate cortex-in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the underlying anatomical and molecular mechanisms in these regions are not clearly understood yet. It is also unknown whether integration of multimodal-anatomical and molecular-markers could predict cognitive impairment better in MCI.

Locally available agroresidues as potential sorbents: modelling, column studies and scale-up.

Sawdust, cotton stalk and groundnut shell were used for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution using batch sorption. Effect of initial dye concentration, temperature, and particle size of sorbents on methylene blue removal was investigated. Sorption capacity increases with rise in initial dye concentration and temperature.

Pilot scale oxidative fast pyrolysis of sawdust in a fluidized bed reactor: A biorefinery approach.

Oxidative fast pyrolysis of sawdust was performed in a pilot scale fluidized bed system (3 kg/h) under stabilized experimental conditions (0.20 equivalence ratio and 550 °C). Experiments were performed in non-catalytic and catalytic (ZSM-5) mode.
