Article Synopsis
- A new method using low THz radar has emerged for classifying pottery shards in archaeology, which helps understand agricultural origins in Europe.
- The study focuses on designing an efficient radar system and neural network that minimizes sensor use while maximizing accuracy, particularly in reducing false recognition rates.
- A newly developed optimization technique, called CBTGWO, significantly reduces the number of sensors needed for classification, achieving excellent false recognition rates and faster acquisition times compared to previous methods.
Background: Empirical treatment of pyelonephritis in the emergency ward includes broad-spectrum antibiotics. Such a strategy favours broad-spectrum antibiotic overuse. Local antibiotic stewardship teams can propose local recommendations to adapt empirical antibiotic treatment devoted to spare precious molecules that remain active on MDR bacteria, such as fluoroquinolones or other broad-spectrum antibiotics.

It receives high heat fluxes, which can cause damage to plasma facing units above the allowable heat flux. Improving the operation safety on the actively cooled tungsten divertor is being researched in place at WEST, toward providing divertor monitoring solution for ITER.

- Detection dogs were trained to identify SARS-CoV-2 infections by sniffing armpit sweat, with samples collected from confirmed positive and negative patients.
- After a training period of 2-3 months, the dogs exhibited high sensitivity (81%), specificity (98%), and accuracy (95%) in detecting the virus, with validation showing consistent performance.
- The study found a unique scent in SARS-CoV-2 positive sweat linked to various volatiles, and a survey indicated strong public support for using these dogs as a reliable pre-screening tool alongside traditional PCR testing.
Article Synopsis
- An HIV-positive woman in her 20s unexpectedly became pregnant while undergoing treatment with alectinib for stage IV non-small-cell lung carcinoma, despite being advised to use effective contraception.
- A complete response to the cancer treatment was noted when the pregnancy was discovered, leading to the decision to temporarily stop alectinib as the patient opted to continue the pregnancy.
- The pregnancy proceeded without complications, resulting in the healthy vaginal delivery of a female baby, and after 34 months of follow-up, the mother remained in remission and the child's development was normal.
