Curriculum learning-based strategy for low-density archaeological mound detection from historical maps in India and Pakistan.

This paper presents two algorithms for the large-scale automatic detection and instance segmentation of potential archaeological mounds on historical maps. Historical maps present a unique source of information for the reconstruction of ancient landscapes. The last 100 years have seen unprecedented landscape modifications with the introduction and large-scale implementation of mechanised agriculture, channel-based irrigation schemes, and urban expansion to name but a few.

The estimation of non-irrigated crop area and production using the regression analysis approach: A case study of Bursa Region (Turkey) in the mid-nineteenth century.

Agricultural land cover and its changing extent are directly related to human activities, which have an adverse impact on the environment and ecosystems. The historical knowledge of crop production and its cultivation area is a key element. Such data provide a base for monitoring and mapping spatio-temporal changes in agricultural land cover/use, which is of great significance to examine its impacts on environmental systems.

COVID-19 in an Infant with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Case Report.

In the midst of current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, little is known about the implications of this new virus on patients with underlying chronic comorbidities. Herein, we present a case of a 5-week-old infant with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who acquired SARS-CoV-2 and recovered with minimal medical support.

A Rare Case of Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 2 in a Child With Persistent Fatigue.

Adrenal insufficiency is a rare, potentially life-threatening condition whose diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. Adrenal insufficiency may be primary, secondary, or tertiary with varied etiologies. Primary insufficiency may be part of a cluster of autoimmune diseases, referred to as autoimmune polyglandular syndrome(s) (APS).

Serum concentrations of amoxicillin in neonates during continuous intravenous infusion.

Amoxicillin is commonly used for the treatment of neonatal bacterial infection with intermittent dosing (ID) regimens. However, increasing bacterial resistance, in addition to a lack of new antimicrobial agents, urges the optimization of current therapeutic options. Clinical studies in adults suggest continuous infusion (CI) regimens of beta-lactam antibiotics to be superior to ID.
