Article Synopsis
  • The OlympiA study approved olaparib as an adjuvant treatment for high-risk early breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations, but the actual percentage of patients meeting these high-risk criteria in practical settings is unknown.
  • The study analyzed data from the Côte d'Or Breast and Gynecological Cancer Registry, examining the long-term prognosis of patients treated for early breast cancer between 2005 and 2015, finding only 1.8% had BRCA mutations and 14.2% were classified as high risk.
  • Results showed high-risk patients had significantly worse 10-year overall survival rates compared to other patients, highlighting the need for careful patient identification to ensure those who could benefit from olaparib receive appropriate care

This paper aims to improve the steering performance of the Ackermann personal mobility scooter based on a new meta-heuristic optimization algorithm named Differential Harris Hawks Optimization (DHHO) and the modeling of the steering encoder. The steering response in the Ackermann mechanism is crucial for automated driving systems (ADS), especially in localization and path-planning phases. Various methods presented in the literature are used to control the steering, and meta-heuristic optimization algorithms have achieved prominent results.
