We aimed to demonstrate the value of monitoring infants with arteriovenous malformation (AVM) during endovascular embolization with integrated evaluation of hemodynamics (IEH) and guiding decisions according to the underlying pathophysiology. This is a retrospective analysis of the perioperative hemodynamics data for 2 complex cases of AVM transferred to Khaula Hospital in Oman for interventional management. We described the value of novel physiological insights gained from comprehensive IEH and provided a systematic approach to the perioperative management. Postoperative targeted neonatal echo (TNE) was used to guide the weaning of the cardiovascular medications within 24 h. Both cases showed significant right ventricle (RV) volume overload before surgery. Narrowing of the pulse pressure (PP) during or after endovascular embolization was used as a marker of compromised systemic blood flow in real time followed by an assessment by TNE to guide the appropriate therapy.Conclusion: Integrated evaluation of hemodynamics is helpful to guide perioperative physiologic-based management of AVM. What is Known: • The preoperative management of hemodynamic compromise due to AVM has been described in many articles. • Perioperative management of AVM and related hemodynamics is a challenge to the intensive care team. What is New: • Integrated evaluation of hemodynamics is a comprehensive assessment and helpful in understanding the underlying physiologic changes during intervention with AVM. • This integrated evaluation can lead to physiologic-based medical recommendation with subsequent improvement.

A word of caution in the functional monitoring of patients after rectal cancer surgery: a multicentre observational study.

Background: Patients with rectal cancer often experience adverse effects on urinary, sexual, and digestive functions. Despite recognised impacts and available treatments, they are not fully integrated into follow-up protocols, thereby hindering appropriate interventions. The aim of the study was to discern the activities conducted in our routine clinical practice outside of clinical trials.

Purpose: During endovascular revascularization interventions for peripheral arterial disease, the standard modality of X-ray fluoroscopy (XRF) used for image guidance is limited in visualizing distal segments of infrapopliteal vessels. To enhance visualization of arteries, an image registration technique was developed to align pre-acquired computed tomography (CT) angiography images and to create fusion images highlighting arteries of interest.
Methods: X-ray image metadata capturing the position of the X-ray gantry initializes a multiscale iterative optimization process, which uses a local-variance masked normalized cross-correlation loss to rigidly align a digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) of the CT dataset with the target X-ray, using the edges of the fibula and tibia as the basis for alignment.
Machine learning-based interpretation of non-contrast feature tracking strain analysis and T1/T2 mapping for assessing myocardial viability.

Assessing myocardial viability is crucial for managing ischemic heart disease. While late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for viability evaluation, it has limitations, including contraindications in patients with renal dysfunction and lengthy scan times. This study investigates the potential of non-contrast CMR techniques-feature tracking strain analysis and T1/T2 mapping-combined with machine learning (ML) models, as an alternative to LGE-CMR for myocardial viability assessment.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are increasingly replacing conventional communication systems due to their decentralized and dynamic nature. However, their wireless architecture makes them highly vulnerable to flooding attacks, which can disrupt communication, deplete energy resources, and degrade network performance. This study presents a novel hybrid deep learning approach integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) architectures to effectively detect and mitigate flooding attacks in MANETs.

In this study, we explore an enhancement to the U-Net architecture by integrating SK-ResNeXt as the encoder for Land Cover Classification (LCC) tasks using Multispectral Imaging (MSI). SK-ResNeXt introduces cardinality and adaptive kernel sizes, allowing U-Net to better capture multi-scale features and adjust more effectively to variations in spatial resolution, thereby enhancing the model's ability to segment complex land cover types. We evaluate this approach using the Five-Billion-Pixels dataset, composed of 150 large-scale RGB-NIR images and over 5 billion labeled pixels across 24 categories.
