Abstract

Background: With the introduction of direct‐acting antiviral therapies (DAAs), the non‐use rate of hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐positive donor organs (D+) has decreased significantly. We present the donor, recipient, and transplant allograft characteristics, along with recipient outcomes, in one of the largest cohorts of HCV‐D+ transplants into HCV‐naïve recipients (R−). Methods: Charts of HCV D+/R− kidney (KT), liver (LT), and simultaneous liver‐kidney (SLKT) transplant recipients between January 2019 and July 2022 were reviewed. Primary outcomes of interest included waitlist times and 1‐year graft failure. Secondary outcomes included hospital and intensive care unit length of stay, post‐transplant complications, effectiveness of DAA therapy, and characteristics of patients who relapsed from initial DAA therapy. Results: Fifty‐five HCV D+/R− transplants at our center [42 KT (26 nucleic acid testing positive [NAT+], 16 NAT−), 12 LT (eight NAT+, four NAT−), and one SLKT (NAT+)] had a median waitlist time of 69 days for KT, 87 days for LT, and 15 days for SLKT. There were no graft failures at 1 year. All viremic recipients were treated with a 12‐week course of DAAs, of which 100% achieved end of treatment response (EOTR)—85.7% (n = 30) achieved sustained virologic response (SVR) and 14.3% relapsed (n = 5; four KT, one LT). All relapsed recipients were retreated and achieved SVR. The most common post‐transplantation complications include BK virus infection (n = 9) for KT and non‐allograft infections (n = 4) for LT. Conclusions: Our study has demonstrated no graft failures or recipient deaths at 1 year, and despite a 14.3% relapse rate, we achieved 100% SVR. Complications rates of D+/R− appeared comparable to national D−/R− complication rates. Further studies comparing D+/R− to D−/R− outcomes are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to expand the capabilities of Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAV), bypresenting an autonomous control algorithm and using a morphing box wing, which supportsvertical and horizontal flight mode along with transition. This research work provides detaileddescription of the position and attitude controller for a hybrid morphing box wing UAV. Hybridmorphing wing UAV has ability to perform mission as both quadcopter and fixed-wing aircraftin efficient manner. Development of a single controller with ability to handle two different modeis discussed. Numerous work has been done to increase the application of conventional UAVs,but not very much work has been done in increasing the capability to efficiently combine andfly UAV in horizontal and vertical modes of flight. Hybrid morphing wing UAV is a structuralenhancement of a conventional quadrotor that is attached with a wing structure which hasmorphing ability, and that helps to optimizes performance of UAV during flight.Maneuvering of a traditional quadcopter is controlled by varying the rotors speeds, wherethe rotation is clockwise for two diagonally opposite rotors and anti-clockwise for the other tworotors. The opposite rotation of rotors in quadcopter is used to control the yaw moment of thesystem. The quadcopters have two configurations in which they fly, namely '+' configurationand ’X’ configuration. The '+' configuration have one rotating propeller on each side of theaxes for rolling and pitching, whereas ’X’ configuration have two counter rotating propeller oneach side of the axes for rolling and pitching. The hybrid UAV proposed in this thesis, uses aquadcopter in ’X’ configuration attached to the box wing. In order to improve the efficiencyof the box wing during the whole flight regime, two approaches have been applied, first is thebox wing in the shape of a nozzle and second is the morphing wing. Nozzle wing design isproposed to be used during the vertical take-off of flight and the morphing of wings is designedfor the horizontal mode of flight. A series of computational fluid dynamics analysis have beenperformed to estimate the aerodynamic properties of the morphing nozzle wing.A nonlinear backstepping control technique is proposed for a combined equations of motionof vertical and horizontal flight modes, also work has been done towards providing a smoothtransition and stable flight. The mathematical model of the controller is developed in MATLABfor performing numerical simulations, which has given a positive result in achieving the desiredposition and attitude while performing the transition between two modes of flight and performing the maneuvers. The results for the way-point navigation which also shows the transitionbetween flights are generated by the numerical simulations which demonstrates the robustnessof the controller.Overall, the hybrid morphing wing UAV, has proven to be an efficient and effective flyingvehicle. From a commercial standpoint of view, this hybrid multirotor vehicle is valuable, dueto its ability of maneuverability and optimized dual flight modes, useful for package deliverypurpose.

34. Brachial Plexus Palsy: A Case Report of Compression-Induced Injury Associated With Alcohol Intoxication.

Author

Patel H, Abedi M, Abedi A, and Patel T

Abstract

Brachial plexus palsy is a complex neuropathy associated with traumatic injuries, inflammatory processes, and tumors. In this report, we present an unusual case of brachial plexus palsy in a 72-year-old man with a history of chronic alcohol abuse. The patient presented to the emergency room with left arm weakness following a fall under the influence of alcohol that resulted in prolonged immobilization. An initial neurologic exam identified paralysis, numbness, and pain in the left upper extremity; however, further studies confirmed the absence of acute fractures or evidence of compartment syndrome. This case highlights the potential for alcohol intoxication and prolonged immobilization, in the absence of traumatic injury, as a contributing cause of brachial plexus palsy. Furthermore, this case emphasizes the importance of considering alternative causes of brachial plexus injury for prompt diagnosis and treatment., Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study.
