Article Abstract

In this paper the currently available software we know for group sequential and adaptive designs is briefly reviewed. Stand-alone packages as well as modules within software packages or programming languages exist. New software developments for adaptive designs enable the user to perform data dependent design adaptations while controlling the Type I error rate.

Aims: Children with life-limiting illnesses face physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges that restrict their activities of daily living. Although these needs require a holistic approach, rehabilitation services, particularly occupational therapy, are often limited in pediatric palliative care. This study aimed to evaluate the unmet rehabilitation needs of children receiving pediatric palliative care in Turkey based on the Person-Environment-Occupation model.

As a critical component in hydropower systems, the Hydraulic Turbine Regulation System (HTRS) exhibits strong coupling characteristics that impose substantial challenges on control system design, necessitating the development of high-performance control strategies. To address the complex control requirements, this paper proposes an improved T-S fuzzy modeling method based on the Luenberger observer theory. It constructs a system model that combines high accuracy and simplicity.

Objectives: To determine the incidence and subsequent complications of internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis after cannulation performed during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to ensure adequate venous drainage during minimally invasive cardiac surgery.

Design: Single-center observational trial SETTINGS: Intensive care postoperative monitoring of cardiac surgery patients and diagnosis of IJV thrombi at a university tertiary hospital during the 13-month study period from December 1, 2022, to January 11, 2024.

Participants: 44 patients undergoing catheterization of the IJV for total CPB.

The global rise of mosquito-borne diseases and widespread resistance to existing insecticides highlight the urgent need for novel, field-relevant mosquitocides. Here, we report the development and validation of a high-throughput, in vivo screening assay capable of evaluating adult mosquito toxicity across large chemical libraries. Utilizing a 96-well plate format, this assay enables simultaneous testing of hundreds of compounds per run using both net and filter paper substrates, with direct measurement of adult mosquito knockdown and mortality via tarsal contact - an exposure route highly relevant to real-world vector control tools such as long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS).
