Metalearning‐Driven Inverse Optimization for Precision Microstructure Fabrication in Digital Light Processing Three‐Dimensional Printing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Metalearning‐based inverse optimization enables precise microscale three‐dimensional printing using a DLP system. Distorted structures from conventional printing are analyzed via neural network regression, which predicts optimal exposure time and mask design.

Intelligent Operator‐Independent Flexibility in Robotic Non‐Destructive Evaluation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Non‐destructive evaluation of high‐value components remains a manufacturing bottleneck due to rigid robotic calibration and fixturing. This study presents a flexible, adaptable system integrating 3D vision and force‐position control with a collaborative KUKA LBR robot. The geometry‐agnostic system enables pose‐independent ultrasonic inspection, detects

The incidence of Bandl’s ring and its impact on labor outcomes: a review of the published literature

Journal of Perinatal Medicine
Obstructed labor is a serious obstetric emergency that can lead to uterine rupture, and significant maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Bandl first described this condition, of abnormal retraction of the uterus occurring during obstructed ...

Inflation, Race, and Legislation—The Erosion in the Real Value of Monetary Compensation for Miners' Occupational Lung Disease in South Africa, 1973–2024

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background For much of the 20th century, the South African mining industry had a statutory compensation system for pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis characterized by gross racial inequality. This study examines the impact of inflation over the period 1973–2024 on the real value of miners' lung disease compensation, including the effect of the ...

Severe Occupational Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: A Case Series of Four Patients Requiring Lung Transplantation

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune‐mediated interstitial lung disease triggered by repeated inhalation of organic or chemical antigens. Occupational exposures account for approximately 19% of all cases. Early diagnosis, identification of the responsible antigen(s), and immediate avoidance of exposure are crucial to prevent ...
