Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Evaluating end-to-end autonomous driving architectures: a proximal policy optimization approach in simulated environments

Autonomous Intelligent Systems
Autonomous driving systems (ADS) are at the forefront of technological innovation, promising enhanced safety, efficiency, and convenience in transportation. This study investigates the potential of end-to-end reinforcement learning (RL) architectures for

Privacy and Autonomous Systems [PDF]

Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2017
We discuss the problem of privacy in autonomous systems, introducing different conceptualizations and perspectives on privacy to assess the threats that autonomous systems may pose to privacy. After this, we outline socio-technical and legal measures that should be put in place to mitigate these threats.

Effect of DFPP on Ferroptosis in Peripheral Blood CD14+ Monocytes of Hyperlipidemic Patients Involving the ACSL4/LPCAT3/ALOX5 Pathway

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although statins are the cornerstone of lipid‐lowering therapy, their use may be limited in some patients by adverse effects. This study evaluated the possible impact of non‐drug treatment using double‐filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) on CD14+

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Shapley value: from cooperative game to explainable artificial intelligence

Autonomous Intelligent Systems
With the tremendous success of machine learning (ML), concerns about their black-box nature have grown. The issue of interpretability affects trust in ML systems and raises ethical concerns such as algorithmic bias.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

A nonlinear optimal control approach for 3-DOF four-cable driven parallel robots

Autonomous Intelligent Systems
In this article, a nonlinear optimal control approach is proposed for the dynamic model of 3-DOF four-cable driven parallel robots (CDPR). To solve the associated nonlinear optimal control problem, the dynamic model of the 3-DOF cable-driven parallel ...
