15. DREPTUL DE PROPRIETATE INTELECTUALĂ ŞI RĂSPUNDEREA CIVILĂ A IA.

Author

Subjects
INTELLECTUAL property, LEGAL documents, MODERN society, ARTIFICIAL intelligence, CIVIL liability
Abstract

The objectives that we wanted to achieve are the knowledge of the legislation in the issue of the intellectual property right of artificial intelligence and in that of the civil liability of robots, as well as the interpretation in a personal note of the already existing norms. The concepts that were the basis of the study are both philosophical ideas and legal provisions, but also specialized doctrine, which completes the ideas we wanted to express. The latter we redrawn up with the help of the descriptive method, the logical and the comparative method and, last but notleast, the sociological method. The results obtained are the observation of the direction in which AI is heading, based on the union provisions, which were analyzed with arguments. We considered that the topic presented is not sufficiently researched and studied, due to its importance in contemporary society. Precisely for this reason, we believe that our study can be an interesting read for both legal specialists and novices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AEROBIC capacity, ARTIFICIAL intelligence, APPRENTICESHIP programs, EUROPEAN law, PEDESTALS
Abstract

The present research is aiming to demonstrate the conditions under which robots can have civil law reports, whilst focusing on analysing national, as well as european law. The main purpose is highlighting that AI subjects may be conferred with capacity of exercise and utilisation capacity. The "pedestal" on which we propose building this "conceptual caryatid" will be law itself. The adduced demonstration shall imply various methods, like logical, historical, comparative and qualitative (interview). Conclusions of the article will capture the importance of carrying out a legal relationship between human and AI subjects. The present study can also be useful for further development of legislation in this field, for research, as well as for different doctrinal approaches. As a result, our investigation aims coming handy to a large number of practicians and professionals: from early apprentices to the late experts of the field -- teachers, lawyers, magistrates, legislators and others. The novelty of the study recalls bringing legislation, which is insufficient at the moment, into line with the reality of this technical fenomenon, that is typical nowadays, and finding a balance between the two "worlds" -- that of AI and that of norms.

Abstract

Serum uric acid (UA) has been shown to be a predictor of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality, and it may play a role in the pathogenesis of CV disease affecting vascular structure and function. However, there is limited evidence of its specific association with carotid artery stiffness and structure. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether UA is associated with early signs of atherosclerosis, namely local carotid arterial stiffness and intimamedia thickening. We evaluated 698 consecutive asymptomatic patients, referred to the Cardiovascular Department for risk factors evaluation and treatment. All patients underwent carotid artery ultrasonography with measurement of common carotid intimamedia thickness (IMT) and echo-tracking carotid artery stiffness index Beta. Patients with hyperuricemia (defined as serum uric acid ≥7 mg/dL in men and ≥6 mg/dL in women) had higher IMT (0.97±0.22 vs 0.91±0.18, p<0.001) and stiffness index Beta (8.3±3.2 vs 7.5±2.7, p=0.005). UA levels correlated with both IMT (r=0.225; p<0.001) and stiffness index Beta (r=0.154; p<0.001); the correlations were statistically significant in males and females. In a multivariate model which included age, arterial pressure, serum glucose and LDL-cholesterol, serum UA emerged as an independent explanatory variable of IMT and stiffness index Beta. Carotid IMT and local arterial stiffness are related to UA independently of established CV risk factors; UA may play a role in the early development of atherosclerosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The use of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based hydrogel (pNIPAAm) for rapid tuning of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is reported. This approach is implemented by using an SPR layer architecture with an embedded indium tin oxide microheater and pNIPAAm film on its top. It takes advantage of rapid thermally induced swelling and collapse of pNIPAAm that is accompanied by large refractive index changes and leads to high thermo-optical coefficient of dn/dT = 2 × 10–2 RIU/K. We show that this material is excellently suited for efficient control of refractive index-sensitive SPR and that it can serve simultaneously as a 3D binding matrix in biosensor applications (if modified with biomolecular recognition elements for a specific capture of target analyte). We demonstrate that this approach enables modulating of the output signal in surface plasmon-enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy biosensors and holds potential for simple time-multiplexing of sensing channels for parallelized readout of fluorescence assays.

Abstract

Aims The present Euro-Filling report aimed at comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the 2009 and 2016 echocardiographic grading algorithms for predicting invasively measured left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP). Method and results A total of 159 patients who underwent simultaneous evaluation of echo estimates of LVFP and invasive measurements of LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were enrolled at nine EACVI centres. Thirty-nine (25%) patients had a reduced LV ejection fraction (<50%), 77 (64%) were in NYHA ≥ II, and 85 (53%) had coronary artery disease. Sixty-four (40%) patients had elevated LVEDP (≤15 mmHg). Taken individually, all echocardiographic Doppler estimates of LVFP (E/A, E/e', left atrial volume, tricuspid regurgitation jet velocity) were marginally correlated with LVEDP. By using the 2016 recommendations, 65% of patients with normal non-invasive estimate of LVFP had normal LVEDP, while 79% of those with elevated non-invasive LVFP had elevated invasive LVEDP. By using 2009 recommendations, 68% of the patients with normal non-invasive LVFP had normal LVEDP, while 55% of those with elevated non-invasive LVFP had elevated LVEDP. The 2016 recommendations (sensitivity 75%, specificity 74%, positive predictive value 39%, negative predictive value 93%, AUC 0.78) identified slightly better patients with elevated invasive LVEDP (≥ 15 mmHg) as compared with the 2009 recommendations (sensitivity 43%, specificity 75%, positive predictive value 49%, negative predictive value 71%, AUC 0.68). Conclusion The present Euro-Filling study demonstrates that the new 2016 recommendations for assessing LVFP noninvasively are fairly reliable and clinically useful, as well as superior to the 2009 recommendations in estimating invasive LVEDP.

Abstract

Aims - We studied the clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of patients (pts) with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), according to the flow-gradient classification. Methods and results - We enrolled 165 pts (66±11 years, 95 men) with aortic valve area (AVA) <1 cm2 (indexed AVA <0.6 cm2/m2) and preserved LVEF (62±6%). Patients were stratified by LV stroke volume index (<35 mL/m2 [low flow, LF] and ≥35 mL/ m2 [normal flow, NF]) and mean aortic gradient (<40 mmHg [low gradient, LG] and ≥40 mmHg [high gradient, HG]) into 4 groups: NF/HG, NF/LG, LF/HG, and LF/LG. LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) was measured in 133 pts. Paradoxical LF/LG AS was present in 4 pts (2.4%). Most pts with LG severe AS had a normal flow (18.2%). Compared to NF/HG (121 pts, 73.3%), NF/LG pts had a lower NYHA class and serum BNP, larger AVAs, lower LV mass index, relative wall thickness and smaller LV volumes when compared to NF/HG pts. Worse parameters of LV longitudinal and diastolic function were found in NF/HG pts compared to NF/LG pts: lower GLS (p<0.001), larger left atrial volumes (p=0.03) and higher E/e’ ratios (p=0.009). Conclusion - We found a low prevalence of paradoxical LF/LG severe AS in pts with severe AS and preserved LVEF. According to the proposed criteria, most pts with LG severe AS have a normal transvalvular flow. These pts have a better clinical and echocardiographic profile when compared to pts with NF/HG severe AS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Pulmonary embolism is a multifactorial disease that carries a high risk of mortality. Although venous thromboembolism may occur in patients without any identifi able predisposing risk factors, one or more of them are usually identifi ed. It has been reported that approximately 5% of patients with acute pulmonary embolism present with right heart thrombus which occasionally straddles the interatrial septum, posing a threat to the pulmonary arteries and systemic circulation. Despite the high prevalence of patent foramen ovale in the general population, paradoxical embolism is a rare event. The treatment of pulmonary embolism in patients with impending systemic embolism remains controversial. According to a statement from the American Heart Association, surgical thrombectomy in patients with an intracardiac thrombus might reduce the incidence of stroke, whereas thrombolysis might be associated with higher mortality. The ESC guidelines on the diagnosis and management of acute pulmonary embolism concludes that both thrombolysis and embolectomy are effective whereas anticoagulation alone appears less effective.

Abstract

Hydrogel films have been used extensively in the preparationofbiosensors and biomedical devices. The characteristics of the aqueousinterface of the polymer layer are significant for the biosensor ordevice function; likewise, the changing mechanical properties of thermoresponsivepolymers are an important feature that affects the polymer behavior.Atomic force microscopy was used here to characterize both the surfaceand the mechanical properties of polymeric hydrogel films preparedfrom a thermoresponsive terpolymer of N-isopropylacrylamideand acrylic acid with benzophenonemethacrylate as a photoreactivecross-linker comonomer. The force–distance curves thus obtainedwere analyzed to assess both the surface forces and the mechanicalresponse that were associated with the hydrogel. These propertieswere investigated as a function of temperature, in water and in Trisbuffer, for different degrees of polymer cross-linking. For samplesin water, the distance over which the surface forces were effectivewas found to remain constant as the temperature was increased from26 to 42 °C, even though the mechanical response indicated thatthe samples had been heated past the lower critical solution temperature,or LCST. The bulk of the polymer becomes less soluble above the LCST,although this does not seem to affect the surface properties. Thismay be due to the segregation of the acrylic acid-rich polymer segmentsnear the gel surface, which is in agreement with reports for relatedsystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the past 10 years, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valuable alternative treatment option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis at high surgical risk. We present the case of a 69 year-old man with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis deemed to be inoperable because of severe biventricular systolic dysfunction. TAVR was successfully performed as a last-resort option within a recently launched national programme covering such procedures in the public healthcare system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We are presenting the case of a woman, 37 years old, former smoker, who was admitted for palpitations lasting a few seconds, accompanied by shortness of breath and dry cough. The patient complained about shortness of breath induced by ordinary physical activity, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea and chest pain that occurred at rest and disappeared in approximately 5 minutes after its onset. She had been diagnosed a year previously with rheumatic mitral valve disease consisting of moderate stenosis and mild regurgitation. The young woman had a normal menstrual cycle and three children aged between 7 and 12 years old (all the pregnancies were full-term). When taking the social history, the patient revealed that she had grown up in an orphanage and at the age of 18, soon after leaving it, she was diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever. The patient's treatment before admission consisted of an anti-vitamin K anticoagulant, and antiarrhythmic drugs - amiodarone and a beta blocker. On physical examination, the patient was afebrile and had a normal Body Mass Index. The auscultation revealed rhythmic heart sounds, an early diastolic opening snap and a mitral diastolic rumble near the apex. There were no signs of systemic or pulmonary congestion. The blood tests detected elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and creatine kinase -MB (CK-MB); the rest of the laboratory values were normal, including that of the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). The ECG showed sinus rhythm and left atrial enlargement which was visible on the otherwise normal chest x-ray. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed mitral valve disease with moderate stenosis (mitral valve area, MVA, estimation by PHT: 1.4 cm2 - Figure 1, mean gradient: 6 mmHg - Figure 2) and mild regurgitation with an eccentric jet towards the posterior left atrial wall. The dimensions and the systolic function of both ventricles were normal (LVEF 65%), but the left atrium was severely enlarged (Figure 3). Transoesophageal echocardiography confirmed the mitral valve disease with significant mitral stenosis (MVA by planimetry: 1.1 cm2, MVA by PHT: 1.3 cm2) and mild regurgitation. It also allowed a better appraisal of the mitral valve morphology: fusion of the commissures (Figure 4), small calcified nodules on the anterior mitral leaflet, a dome-like opening of the valve and also an assessment of the Wilkins score of 7 (leaflet mobility: 2, subvalvular apparatus involvement: 2, leaflet thickening: 2, valve calcification: 1). There was no evidence of thrombi either in the enlarged left atrium or in the left atrial appendage. Both echographic examinations revealed mild aortic regurgitation and the lack of diagnostic criteria for pulmonary hypertension (estimated PASP: 31 mmHg). After discussing the therapeutic options with the patient, we decided for a percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty in the case of a young symptomatic patient with a significant mitral stenosis, with favourable valve characteristics both hemodynamically and morphologically. During the two months preceding the intervention, the patient was prescribed a beta blocker, an anti-vitamin K anticoagulant, a loop diuretic. As this was the case of a young woman with long-term necessity of antiarrhythmic therapy, considering the possible side effects of amiodarone, it was replaced with propafenone. After the balloon valvuloplasty, the area of the mitral valve was 1.9 cm2. A week after the intervention, the transthoracic echocardiography revealed an estimated MVA of 1.8 cm2 by planimetry (Figure 6) and 1.6 cm2 by PHT, a mean gradient of 4 mmHg (Figure 7) and a slight decrease in the volume of the left atrium, which remained nevertheless severely enlarged. The mitral regurgitation was mild and the estimated PASP receded to 17 mmHg. The patient did not tolerate the propafenone therapy, complaining about dyspnoea at rest after taking the drug. At discharge, the patient claimed amelioration of the symptoms and was prescribed a beta blocker, anti-vitamin K anticoagulant, low dose loop diuretic and secondary prophylaxis for rheumatic fever - penicillin V. At the following examinations, the necessity of an antiarrhythmic therapy remains to be reassessed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction - Since apical rotation is a key determinant of left ventricular (LV) performance we hypothesized that the worse outcome observed in pts with anterior myocardial infarction (Ml) may beat least partly, a consequence of LV apical involvement. Methods - We analyzed retrospectively from our database 245 echocardiographic studies of pts with documented history of LV Ml. Pts with either apical or basal akinetic segments, (between 2 and 5 segments) were included in our study and two groups were formed: 30 pts with apical and 30 pts with basal wall motion abnormalities (WMA). Results - A higher NYHA class was found in pts with apical W MA as compared to pts with basal W M A despite similar echocardiographic parameters of LV function. Wall motion score index (WMSI) was significantly higher in patients with apical dysfunction and emerged as the only predictor of functional NYHA class in the whole study population. No further statistical difference was observed between groups after correcting fo r WMSI. Conclusions - In our study the poorer functional status of post-MI patients with apical W M A as compared to patients with basal ischemic involvement was rather related to a more extensive ischemic area than to the actual location of akinetic segments.
