Systematic review of artificial intelligence tack in preventive orthopaedics: is the land coming soon?

Purpose: This study aims to describe and assess the current stage of the artificial intelligence (AI) technology integration in preventive orthopaedics of the knee and hip joints.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted in strict compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. Literature databases were searched for articles describing the development and validation of AI models aimed at diagnosing knee or hip joint pathologies or predicting their development or course in patients.

Statistical characterization and modeling of noise effects in near-ultrasound aerial acoustic communications.

In this paper, the statistical properties of near-ultrasound acoustic noise in typical indoor environments are investigated. The results indicate that near-ultrasound noise exhibits impulsive behavior and that its first-order probability density functions can be accurately modeled by using a Gaussian mixture or symmetric alpha-stable (SαS) distributions. Furthermore, a practical approach for estimating the parameters of the SαS noise in near-ultrasound aerial acoustic communication receivers is proposed.

[Comparative experimental study of antioxidant efficiency in treatment of acute pancreatitis].

The aims of our experiments on animals were (i) to evaluate by direct oximery the efficiency of various antioxidant drugs in a complex treatment of acute pancreatitis and (ii) to determine the diagnostic value of the direct oximetry method for estimation of the efficiency of medical treatment. The article presents data obtained in a group 75 outbred Guinea with a model acute pancreatitis, which were treated with mexibel (group 1), emoxipin (group 2), end cytoflavin (group 3), with subsequent investigation of the pancreatic tissues by the direct oximetry method. The obtained results confirmed that the intraperitoneal injection of cytoflavin to animals stimulates tissue respiration, improves metabolism, promotes pancreas recovery, and also improves the prognosis and reduces the lethal outcome.

Sanitary losses in the city of Spitak were about 47.8%, injures of the middle and critical degree being diagnosed in 9.5%.

Bovine virus diarrhoea-mucosal disease: prevalence, epizootiology and control measures in the USSR.

Bovine virus diarrhoea-mucosal disease was described for the first time in the USSR in 1967. The disease occurs in 20 to 80% of farms, depending on geographic and climatic zones of the country. Control measures against the disease include quarantine restrictions and prevention by means of specific preparations of active and passive effect.
