In wireless sensor networks (WSN), conserving energy is usually a basic issue, and several approaches are applied to optimize energy consumption. In this article, we adopt feature selection approaches by using minimum redundancy maximum relevance (MRMR) as a feature selection technique to minimize the number of sensors thereby conserving energy. MRMR ranks the sensors according to their significance.

Objective: Validate the "ACS NSQIP Risk Calculator" in the prediction of postoperative complications during colorectal cancer surgery, operated during the years 2015 to 2019.
Methods: this is a prognostic validation study of the "ACS NSQIP" applied retrospectively to patients operated on for colorectal cancer in the surgical department of Farhat Hached hospital, during the 2015 and 2019 5-year term.
Article Synopsis
- * This patient presented with a non-metastatic antral sarcomatoid carcinoma which grew quickly; despite surgery and initial negative margins, a local recurrence occurred within four months.
- * The case emphasizes the need for timely surgical intervention in sarcomatoid carcinoma due to its aggressive nature and high risk of recurrence, although the effectiveness of peri-operative treatment remains unclear.
Background: Schwannomas are mesenchymal tumors arising from neural sheath cells and whose diagnosis is based on immunohistochemistery. The digestive and especially colonic location of this tumor is rare. Commonly described in elderly patient, their malignancy is unusual.

Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris)
June 2014
Purpose: To analyze vascular reactivity changes in response to immunization protocols with antigens corresponding to the second extracellular loop of -β3 and -β1 and 3 adrenergic receptors (AR).
Methods: Lewis rats were immunized for 3months with peptidic sequences corresponding to the second extracellular loop of β3-AR or β1 and 3-AR. Specific β3-AR antibodies were characterized by Elisa and purified using "Proteus Protein G" kit.
