Abstract: A system and method for identifying over sedation risk factors and generating appropriate alerts for healthcare professionals as a result of an algorithm triggered based whether a calculated over sedation risk score/level for the patient crosses a predefined threshold, and determine whether the patient score is at a low, moderate, or high risk for over sedation. If the patient is at a moderate or high risk, an alert may be triggered and displayed to the healthcare professional, along with data associated with the alert in a synchronized timeline displayed on a user interface.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to detecting prostate cancer. A processor receives image data indicative of a computed tomography scan comprising a spatial sequence of two-dimensional cross-sectional images. The processor then applies a neural network to the image data by calculating three-dimensional convolutions in one or more convolutional layers of the neural network and evaluating an output layer. A first dimension of the convolutions is defined in space along the spatial sequence of the two-dimensional cross-sectional images. The three-dimensional convolutions comprise convolutions along the first dimension. The output layer is connected to the one or more convolutional layers in the neural network, and has an output value that is indicative of a probability of detecting prostate cancer in the computed tomography scan. Three-dimensional convolutions in the neural network provide a more accurate probability of detecting prostate cancer.

Abstract: An electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft including a teetering propulsor assembly is provided. Teetering propulsor assembly may include a propeller that includes a hub and blades. Hub of propeller may be mechanically connected to a teeter mechanism of propulsor assembly that may be configured to allow the propeller to pivot about a teeter axis relative to the electric aircraft. Thus, teeter mechanism allows for a rotational axis of propeller to move during teetering of propeller. Teeter mechanism may include one or more springs that reduce teetering or prevent teetering of the propulsor at certain rotational speeds of propeller.

Abstract: A method of microbial enhanced oil recovery from an oil-bearing formation that involves treating the water that is to be injected into the oil-bearing formation to enable microbial activity and adding oxygen to aid microbial activity. The treatment applied to the water is based, at least in part, upon establishing at least one condition in the oil-bearing formation favorable to microbial activity that enhances movement of oil from the oil-bearing formation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a compound of the Formula I wherein m is 0-2 and each R1 is a group such as hydroxy, halogeno, trifluoromethyl heterocyclyl and heterocyclyloxy; R2 is halogeno, trifluoromethyl or (1-6C)alkyl; R3 is hydrogen, halogeno or (1-6C)alkyl; and R4 is (3-6C)cycloalkyl;or pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof; processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in the treatment of diseases or medical conditions mediated by cytokines.

Abstract: A method of treating chronic hepatitis B is disclosed that comprises administering a T cell-stimulating amount of a vaccine to a patient. The vaccine comprises an immunogenic amount of chimeric, carboxy-terminal truncated hepatitis B virus nucleocapsid (core) protein (HBc) that is engineered for both enhanced stability of self-assembled particles and the substantial absence of nucleic acid binding by those particles. The chimeric protein molecule can include one or more immunogenic epitopes peptide-bonded to one or more of the N-terminus, the immunogenic loop or the C-terminus of HBc. The enhanced stability of self-assembled particles is obtained by the presence of at least one heterologous cysteine residue near one or both of the amino-terminus and carboxy-terminus of the chimer molecule.
