Optimized placement and sizing of solar photovoltaic distributed generation using jellyfish search algorithm for enhanced power system performance.

The strategic integration of distributed generation (DG) units into distribution power networks (DPNs) is pivotal for augmenting system efficiency and stability. This study introduces an advanced metaheuristic optimization framework leveraging the Jellyfish Search Algorithm (JSA) for the optimal placement and sizing of solar photovoltaic (PV) DG units. The formulated multi-objective function incorporates real power loss (RPL) minimization, voltage deviation index (VDI) reduction, and voltage stability index (VSI) enhancement, employing a weighted sum approach (WSA) to ensure computational rigor.

A hybrid [F]fluoropivalate PET-multiparametric MRI to detect and characterise brain tumour metastases based on a permissive environment for monocarboxylate transport.

The incidence of Intracranial Metastatic Disease (IMD) continues to increase in part due to improvements in systemic therapy resulting in durable control of extra-cranial disease (ECD). Contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CE-MRI) is the preferred method for imaging IMD, but has limitations particularly in follow-up surveillance scans to optimise patient care. We investigate a new diagnostic approach of hybrid ([]F]fluoropivalate (FPIA) Positron Emission Tomography-multiparametric MRI (PET-mpMRI), in 12 treatment-naïve and 10 stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)-treated patients (± combination therapy within 4-8 weeks).

Mapping anti-diphtheria toxin antibody: a systematic review and meta-analysis with multi-level meta-regression.

Diphtheria is a reemerging vaccine-preventable infection of public health concern. Pooled estimates of serum IgG anti-diphtheria antibody levels can assist in estimating the susceptible population. The objective was to estimate pooled estimate of protective IgG anti-diphtheria antibodies in population globally.

Crowdsourcing Opinions and Awareness of Upper Extremity Transplantation in the United States.

Introduction As of 2008, the United States had 41,000 people living with upper extremity amputation. This number is projected to reach 300,000 by 2050. Human upper extremity transplantation (HUET) may become a more common treatment option with the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for certain amputees.

Economic Cost-Benefit Analysis of Nerve Implanted into Muscle versus Targeted Muscle Reinnervation versus Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface, for Treatment of the Painful Neuroma.

Background:  This study investigated the relative cost utility of three techniques for the management of symptomatic neuromas after neuroma excision: (1) implantation of nerve into muscle, (2) targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), and (3) regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI).

Methods:  The costs associated with each procedure were determined using Common Procedural Terminology codes in combination with data from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services Physician and Facility 2020 Fee Schedules. The relative utility of the three procedures investigated was determined using changes in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores as reported per procedure.
