Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of fault diagnosis (FD) for a class of nonlinear systems. The scheme is based on a discrete-time diagnostic observer that computes a prediction of the system's state. Compensation of the fault effect on the state prediction is achieved via an adaptive discrete-time approach, based on a parametric model of the faults. A stability proof is developed to prove the global exponential stability of the state estimates. A solution for fault isolation and identification is also proposed, based on a postfault analysis. The proposed FD approach is applied and experimentally tested on a conventional industrial robot manipulator.

Abstract

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major health problem, with over one million events every year in Europe. However, there is a paucity of data on the current management in real life, including factors influencing treatment pathways, patient satisfaction, quality of life (QoL), and utilization of health care resources and the corresponding costs. The PREFER in VTE registry has been designed to address this and to understand medical care and needs as well as potential gaps for improvement. Methods/design: The PREFER in VTE registry was a prospective, observational, multicenter study conducted in seven European countries including Austria, France Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK to assess the characteristics and the management of patients with VTE, the use of health care resources, and to provide data to estimate the costs for 12 months treatment following a first-time and/or recurrent VTE diagnosed in hospitals or specialized or primary care centers. In addition, existing anticoagulant treatment patterns, patient pathways, clinical outcomes, treatment satisfaction, and health related QoL were documented. The centers were chosen to reflect the care environment in which patients with VTE are managed in each of the participating countries. Patients were eligible to be enrolled into the registry if they were at least 18 years old, had a symptomatic, objectively confirmed first time or recurrent acute VTE defined as either distal or proximal deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or both. After the baseline visit at the time of the acute VTE event, further follow-up documentations occurred at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Follow-up data was collected by either routinely scheduled visits or by telephone calls. Results: Overall, 381 centers participated, which enrolled 3,545 patients during an observational period of 1 year. Conclusion: The PREFER in VTE registry will provide valuable insights into the characteristics of patients with VTE and their acute and mid-term management, as well as into drug utilization and the use of health care resources in acute first-time and/or recurrent VTE across Europe in clinical practice.

Abstract

This brief presents a three-layer control architecture for coordinated control of multiple unmanned aerial vehicle manipulators (UAVMs): the centralized top layer plans the end-effector desired trajectories of each UAVM; the middle layer, local to each vehicle, computes the corresponding motion references; the bottom layer is a low level dynamic motion controller, which tracks the motion references. At second layer, the overall mission is hierarchically decomposed in a set of elementary behaviors, which are combined together, via the null space-based behavioral approach, into more complex compound behaviors. For each UAVM, the suitable compound behavior to be executed is selected by a supervisor. The proposed framework has been tested through an experimental campaign. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

35. Current practice and recent advances in pediatric pain management.

Author

CHIARETTI, A., PIERRI, F., VALENTINI, P., RUSSO, I., GARGIULLO, L., and RICCARDI, R.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Differently from the adult patients, in pediatric age it is more difficult to assess and treat efficaciously the pain and often this symptom is undertreated or not treated. In children, selection of appropriate pain assessment tools should consider age, cognitive level and the presence of eventual disability, type of pain and the situation in which it is occurring. Improved understanding of developmental neurobiology and paediatric analgesic drugs pharmaco-kinetics should facilitate a better management of childhood pain. AIM: The objective of this review is to discuss current practice and recent advances in pediatric pain management. METHODS: Using PubMed we conducted an extensive literature review on pediatric pain assessment and commonly used analgesic agents from January 2000 to January 2012. CONCLUSIONS: A multimodal analgesic regimen provides better pain control and functional outcome in children. Cooperation and communication between the anaesthesiologist, surgeon, and paediatrician are essential for successful anaesthesia and pain management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The recent COVID-19 pandemic came alongside with an “infodemic”, with online social media flooded by often unreliable information associating the medical emergency with popular subjects of disinformation. In Italy, one of the first European countries suffering a rise in new cases and dealing with a total lockdown, controversial topics such as migrant flows and the 5G technology were often associated online with the origin and diffusion of the virus. In this work we analyze COVID-19 related conversations on the Italian Facebook, collecting over 1.5M posts shared by nearly 80k public pages and groups for a period of four months since January 2020. On the one hand, our findings suggest that well-known unreliable sources had a limited exposure, and that discussions over controversial topics did not spark a comparable engagement with respect to institutional and scientific communication. On the other hand, however, we realize that dis- and counter-information induced a polarization of (clusters of) groups and pages, wherein conversations were characterized by a topical lexicon, by a great diffusion of user generated content, and by link-sharing patterns that seem ascribable to coordinated propaganda. As revealed by the URL-sharing diffusion network showing a “small-world” effect, users were easily exposed to harmful propaganda as well as to verified information on the virus, exalting the role of public figures and mainstream media, as well as of Facebook groups, in shaping the public opinion.

Abstract

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a serious hematological disorder, which is solely cured by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Haploidentical HSCT is an emerging modality with encouraging outcomes in several blood conditions. The present study aims to comprehensively assess the feasibility and safety of haploidentical HSCT in patients with severe and very severe AA. It is a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies related to haploidentical stem cell transplantation in idiopathic AA investigating rates of successful engraftment, acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD), chronic GvHD (cGvHD), transplant-related mortality (TRM), and posttransplantation viral infections (including cytomegalovirus [CMV]) in patients with AA. The effects of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) and nonmyeloablative conditioning (NMA), as well as various GvHD prophylaxis regimens on these outcomes were evaluated. In total 15 studies were identified, (577 patients, 58.9% males), successful engraftment was observed in 97.3% of patients (95% CI, 95.9-98.7) while grades II-IV aGvHD and cGvHD were reported in 26.6% and 25.0%, respectively. The pooled incidence of TRM was 6.7% per year (95% CI, 4.0-9.4). RIC regimens were associated with higher proportions of successful engraftment (97.7% vs 91.7%, P = 0.03) and aGvHD (29.5% vs 18.7%, P = 0.008) when compared with NMA regimens with no differences in cGvHD or mortality incidence. When compared with methotrexate-containing regimens and other regimens, posttransplant cyclophosphamide-containing regimens reduced the rates of aGvHD (28.6%, 27.8%, and 12.8%, respectively, P = 0.02), CMV viremia (55.7%, 38.6%, and 10.4%, respectively, P < 0.001), and CMV disease in initially viremic patients (2.1%, 33.0%, and 0%, respectively, P < 0.001). We have concluded that Haploidentical HSCT was associated with promising outcomes in terms of successful engraftment and reduced complications. Future prospective trials are needed to identify the preferred conditioning regimen, GvHD prophylaxis, and graft source in the setting of haploidentical transplant for AA.

Abstract

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the safety and the efficacy of paediatrician-administered propofol in children undergoing different painful procedures. Methods We conducted a retrospective study over a 12-year period in three Italian hospitals. A specific training protocol was developed in each institution to train paediatricians administering propofol for painful procedures. Results In this study, 36 516 procedural sedations were performed. Deep sedation was achieved in all patients. None of the children experienced severe side effects or prolonged hospitalisation. There were six calls to the emergency team (0.02%): three for prolonged laryngospasm, one for bleeding, one for intestinal perforation and one during lumbar puncture. Nineteen patients (0.05%) developed hypotension requiring saline solution administration, 128 children (0.4%) needed O2 ventilation by face mask, mainly during upper endoscopy, 78 (0.2%) patients experienced laryngospasm, and 15 (0.04%) had bronchospasm. There were no differences in the incidence of major complications among the three hospitals, while minor complications were higher in children undergoing gastroscopy. Conclusion This multicentre study demonstrates the safety and the efficacy of paediatrician-administered propofol for procedural sedation in children and highlights the importance of appropriate training for paediatricians to increase the safety of this procedure in children.

Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of detecting and isolating sensor faults in industrial robot manipulators. To the purpose, an analytical redundancy approach has been pursued, based on a bank of state observers for residual generation. An extended H∞ approach is adopted to build the bank of residual generators; the compensation of poorly known dynamics in each observer is improved by the use of a neural network. The synthesis of the observer gains is achieved by solving an LMI feasibility problem, where constraint on the position of the estimation error linearized dynamics poles in the complex plane are taken into account. Finally, in order to test the effectiveness of the proposed approach, a case study is presented, based on experimental data collected on a six-degree-of-freedom Comau Smart-3 S industrial manipulator. ©2005 IEEE.

Abstract

Background: CMV reactivation represents a frequent complication after HSCT. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of CMV reactivation in a pediatric HSCT cohort and analyze the potential impact of recipient/donor-related or transplant-related factors on this complication. Furthermore, we analyzed the management of CMV reactivation in order to purpose criteria for pre-emptive therapy., Methods: Allogeneic HSCTs, performed at IRCCS Istituto Gaslini between 2012 and 2022, were included in this analysis. CMV-DNAemia was regularly monitored. Risk stratification was based on donor/recipient serological status and additional potential risk factors were considered: haploidentical transplant; any HSCT subsequent to the first; acute and chronic GvHD; steroids; and other immunosuppressive therapies. We described also the approach for pre-emptive therapy during the period 2012-2019., Results: A total of 214 allogeneic HSCTs were performed in 189 patients. In total, 100 (46.7%) HSCTs were complicated by at least one reactivation. CMV reactivation was significantly associated with high serological risk and steroid treatment. Pre-emptive therapy was administered in 59/69 (85.5%) HSCTs during 2012-2019. In the presence of predefined risk conditions, therapy was started at a median viremia of 2050 copies/mL. No difference was observed in OS between patients with CMV reactivation versus patients who did not present this complication., Conclusions: These results suggest the potential effectiveness of the approach used in providing pre-emptive therapy based on viral load monitoring and individualized risk factors.

Abstract

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation represents a frequent condition after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) and can cause the development of a severe complication: post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). This retrospective study aims at investigating the incidence of EBV reactivations and analyzing the potential impact of recipient/donor-related transplant-related factors in pediatric patients. The secondary objective was to study the consequences of the approach used at our center regarding the initiation of pre-emptive therapy., Methods: This study used a retrospective evaluation of patients aged ≤25 years who received an allo-HCT at IRCCS (Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico) Istituto Giannina Gaslini, between 2012 and 2022, with follow-up censored in July 2023. Criteria to start rituximab were as follows: a viral load ≥20,000 copies/10 5 PBMCs or ≥10,000/10 5 PBMCs associated with a rise in the proportion of CD 20+ lymphocytes., Results: Overall, 214 allo-HCTs were performed in 189 patients. A total of 127 (59.3%) procedures were complicated by at least one EBV reactivation, but in only one rituximab was administered. All other reactivations were characterized by viremia below reference ranges and no increase in CD20+ lymphocytes, without clinical consequences. Risk factors for EBV reactivation identified were associated with delayed immune reconstitution., Conclusion: These results could suggest the effectiveness of the approach used in providing pre-emptive therapy. The strategy adopted differs from that highlighted by other studies and allowed the reduction of the number of children who received rituximab. It has proven effective considering the low incidence rate of PTLD and reduces the risk of rituximab-related adverse events., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Ferrando, Bagnasco, Pierri, Pestarino, Dell’Orso, Giardino, Di Marco, Santaniello, Castagnola and Faraci.)

Abstract

Political advertising on social media has become a central element in election campaigns. However, granular information about political advertising on social media was previously unavailable, thus raising concerns regarding fairness, accountability, and transparency in the electoral process. In this article, we analyze targeted political advertising on social media via a unique, large-scale dataset of over 80,000 political ads from Meta during the 2021 German federal election, with more than 1.1 billion impressions. For each political ad, our dataset records granular information about targeting strategies, spending, and actual impressions. We then study (i) the prevalence of targeted ads across the political spectrum; (ii) the discrepancies between targeted and actual audiences due to algorithmic ad delivery; and (iii) which targeting strategies on social media attain a wide reach at low cost. We find that targeted ads are prevalent across the entire political spectrum. Moreover, there are considerable discrepancies between targeted and actual audiences, and systematic differences in the reach of political ads (in impressions-per-EUR) among parties, where the algorithm favor ads from populists over others., (© The Author(s) 2024.

Abstract

Background: Pneumocytis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) has high mortality rates in immunocompromised children, even though routine prophylaxis has decreased in incidence. The aim of this case series is to present the radiological and clinical pathway of PJP in a pediatric population., Description of Cases: All PJP cases in non-HIV/AIDS patients diagnosed at Istituto Giannina Gaslini Pediatric Hospital in Genoa (Italy) from January 2012 until October 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. Nine cases were identified (median age: 8.3 years), and of these, 6/9 underwent prophylaxis with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX; five once-a-week schedules and one three times-a-week schedule), while 3/9 did not receive this. PJP was diagnosed by real-time PCR for P. jirovecii -DNA in respiratory specimens in 7/9 cases and two consecutive positive detections of β-d-glucan (BDG) in the serum in 2/9 cases. Most patients (6/8) had a CT scan with features suggestive of PJP, while one patient did not undergo a scan. All patients were treated with TMP/SMX after a median time from symptoms onset of 3 days. In 7/9 cases, empirical TMP/SMX treatment was initiated after clinical suspicion and radiological evidence and later confirmed by microbiological data. Clinical improvement with the resolution of respiratory failure and 30-day survival included 100% of the study population., Discussion: Due to the difficulty in obtaining biopsy specimens, PJP diagnosis is usually considered probable in most cases. Moreover, the severity of the clinical presentation often leads physicians to start TMP/SMX treatment empirically. BDG proved to be a useful tool for diagnosis, and CT showed good accuracy in identifying typical patterns. In our center, single-day/week prophylaxis was ineffective in high-risk patients; the three-day/week schedule would, therefore, seem preferable and, in any case, should be started promptly in all patients who have an indication of pneumonia.
