Physics-informed neural networks are developed to characterize the state of dynamical systems in a random environment. The neural network approximates the probability density function (pdf) or the characteristic function (chf) of the state of these systems, which satisfy the Fokker-Planck equation or an integro-differential equation under Gaussian and/or Poisson white noises. We examine analytically and numerically the advantages and disadvantages of solving each type of differential equation to characterize the state.

Most efficacy and safety studies about medications adopt a quantitative approach, testing specific hypotheses with restricted samples. This online survey provides additional insights by directly asking people open questions. Thematic analysis was used to explore the responses of 342 antidepressant users to "Is there anything else you would like to tell us about your experience of taking medication".

The main aim of this article is to establish the actual prevalence of renal vein variations (circumaortic renal vein, retroaortic renal vein, double renal vein), and to increase awareness about them. To this purpose, we have performed a meta-analysis of prevalence, using the MetaXL package, We included 105 articles in the final analysis of prevalence, of which 88 contained data about retroaortic renal vein, 84 - about circumaortic renal vein, and 51 - about multiple renal veins. The overall prevalence for retroaortic renal vein was 3% (CI:2.

Introduction: Retrocaval ureter is a congenital abnormality of the right ureter, which has been shown, in rare cases to cause clinical symptoms, mainly due to the development of ureterohydronephrosis.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to identify the prevalence of the retrocaval ureter, and to emphasize its clinical and surgical importance.

Design: A meta-analysis of prevalence, on cases obtained from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases.

Telocytes (TCs) are a controversial cell type characterized by the presence of a particular kind of prolongations, known as telopodes, which are long, thin, and moniliform. A number of attempts has been made to establish the molecular phenotype of cardiac TCs (i.e.
