Automatic molecular fragmentation by evolutionary optimisation.

Molecular fragmentation is an effective suite of approaches to reduce the formal computational complexity of quantum chemistry calculations while enhancing their algorithmic parallelisability. However, the practical applicability of fragmentation techniques remains hindered by a dearth of automation and effective metrics to assess the quality of a fragmentation scheme. In this article, we present the Quick Fragmentation via Automated Genetic Search (QFRAGS), a novel automated fragmentation algorithm that uses a genetic optimisation procedure to generate molecular fragments that yield low energy errors when adopted in Many Body Expansions (MBEs).

Long-term patient satisfaction after surgical correction of penile curvature via tunical plication.

Objective: To assess patient satisfaction and functional results at long term follow-up after surgical correction for Peyronie's disease (PD) and congenital penile curvature (CPC) with the technique of tunical plication.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and two men operated for PD (n = 76) or CPC (n = 26) in four different departments of urology in public hospitals agreed to answer a six-question telephone questionnaire about treatment satisfaction. Tunica albuginea plication procedures represented the standard surgical approach.

Adverse events and readmissions after day-case urological surgery.

Objective: The literature lacks of studies on postoperative outcomes after urological ambulatory surgery. Our study aims to identify parameters associated with postoperative complications within 30 days after ambulatory urological surgery.

Materials And Methods: Adjusted and unadjusted comparisons between clinical features and postoperative outcome (complicated and uncomplicated).
