The recent advancements in energy production, storage, and distribution are creating unprecedented opportunities in the field. Major consumers can benefit from the implementation of distributed energy resource networks capable of generating electricity or heating from sources, often renewable ones, in close proximity to the point of use, rather than relying on centralized generation sources from power plants. In this paper, we introduce a pioneering model designed to determine the optimal set of energy commands in a distributed energy resource network, minimizing operational costs in a time horizon.

Article Synopsis
  • Drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DI-ILD) is a rising complication associated with certain anti-cancer therapies, particularly newer drugs like trastuzumab-deruxtecan, affecting their safe use.
  • Different drugs cause lung damage via various mechanisms—primarily cytotoxic and immune-mediated—but the exact pathways remain unclear.
  • Effective diagnosis and management of DI-ILD require teamwork among healthcare professionals, patient education for early detection, and further research to develop standard treatment protocols.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the relationship between body composition and the recurrence of acute pancreatitis (AP) among hospitalized patients.
  • Out of 347 patients analyzed, 25.6% experienced a recurrent episode of AP, and factors like obesity and specific types of pancreatitis (alcohol and gallstones) were linked to this recurrence.
  • Overall, body composition was not significantly associated with recurrent AP, but certain fat types showed varying relationships with the development of chronic pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus.

Previous studies have suggested that mindfulness programs can be useful, in a significant sector of the population, to reduce stress when practiced for at least 8 weeks. The objective of the present investigation was to explore the effect of a single session of mindfulness practice in reducing stress in female cancer survivors. Two repeated measures studies were applied; in the first one, it was performed individually, while in the second one, it was performed in a group.
