Abstract

This paper shows the application of autonomous Crater Detection using the U-Net, a Fully-Convolutional Neural Network, on Ceres. The U-Net is trained on optical images of the Moon Global Morphology Mosaic based on data collected by the LRO and manual crater catalogues. The Moon-trained network will be tested on Dawn optical images of Ceres: this task is accomplished by means of a Transfer Learning (TL) approach. The trained model has been fine-tuned using 100, 500 and 1000 additional images of Ceres. The test performance was measured on 350 never before seen images, reaching a testing accuracy of 96.24%, 96.95% and 97.19%, respectively. This means that despite the intrinsic differences between the Moon and Ceres, TL works with encouraging results. The output of the U-Net contains predicted craters: it will be post-processed applying global thresholding for image binarization and a template matching algorithm to extract craters positions and radii in the pixel space. Post-processed craters will be counted and compared to the ground truth data in order to compute image segmentation metrics: precision, recall and F1 score. These indices will be computed, and their effect will be discussed for tasks such as automated crater cataloguing and optical navigation.

Abstract

We demonstrate two new important properties of the 1-path-norm of shallow neural networks. First, despite its non-smoothness and non-convexity it allows a closed form proximal operator which can be efficiently computed, allowing the use of stochastic proximal-gradient-type methods for regularized empirical risk minimization. Second, when the activation functions is differentiable, it provides an upper bound on the Lipschitz constant of the network. Such bound is tighter than the trivial layer-wise product of Lipschitz constants, motivating its use for training networks robust to adversarial perturbations. In practical experiments we illustrate the advantages of using the proximal mapping and we compare the robustness-accuracy trade-off induced by the 1-path-norm, L1-norm and layer-wise constraints on the Lipschitz constant (Parseval networks)., ICML 2020.

Abstract

The aim was to develop a predictive model of infection by multidrug-resistant microorganisms (MDRO). A national, retrospective cohort study was carried out including all patients attended for an infectious disease in 54 Spanish Emergency Departments (ED), in whom a microbiological isolation was available from a culture obtained during their attention in the ED. A MDRO infection prediction model was created in a derivation cohort using backward logistic regression. Those variables significant at p < 0.05 assigned an integer score proportional to the regression coefficient. The model was then internally validated by k-fold cross-validation and in the validation cohort. A total of 5460 patients were included; 1345 (24.6%) were considered to have a MDRO infection. Twelve independent risk factors were identified in the derivation cohort and were combined into an overall score, the ATM (assessment of threat for MDRO) score. The model achieved an area under the curve-receiver operating curve of 0.76 (CI 95% 0.74-0.78) in the derivation cohort and 0.72 (CI 95% 0.70-0.75) in the validation cohort (p = 0.0584). Patients were then split into 6 risk categories and had the following rates of risk: 7% (0-2 points), 16% (3-5 points), 24% (6-9 points), 33% (10-14 points), 47% (15-21 points), and 71% (> 21 points). Findings were similar in the validation cohort. Several patient-specific factors were independently associated with MDRO infection risk. When integrated into a clinical prediction rule, higher risk scores and risk classes were related to an increased risk for MDRO infection. This clinical prediction rule could be used by providers to identify patients at high risk and help to guide antibiotic strategy decisions, while accounting for clinical judgment.

Abstract

Milk and dairy products could contain a variety of microorganisms, deriving from the environment or from infected udders, becoming an important source of foodborne pathogens. The main microorganisms involved in mastitis are Staphylococcus aureus, Prototheca spp., Mycoplasma spp. and Streptococcus spp., while the principal pathogens responsible for foodborne disease are enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli VTEC, Campylobacter spp. and Bacillus cereus. This chapter presents information on characteristics of these pathogens, and illnesses caused by them. An overview in the field of foodborne pathogen identification and detection by using different molecular techniques (multiplex PCR, quantitative PCR, digital PCR and Whole Genome Sequencing) is also reported.

Abstract

Sustainable irrigation should rely on the efficient use of water while avoiding soil degradation. To this end, decision tools for assessing best management practices are necessary. There is, however, little evidence of efficient tools to assess best irrigation practices at regional scale taking into account water quality to avoid soil degradation and negative impacts on crop yields. The objective of this work was the performance of a GIS-based decision tool to assess best irrigation management practices aimed at reducing the negative effect of salts in irrigation water in olive orchards. The approach in this tool involved first the blending of two sources of available waters, surface and underground, and when necessary, the application of leaching fractions (LF). We tested this tool in the province of Jaen (south Spain) as representative area of olive cultivation in Mediterranean environments. In 82.4% of the study area, the use of one of both water sources with electrical conductivity (ECw) below the defined threshold (1.8 dS m−1) was possible without blending. Water blending for achieving optimal irrigation water quality was possible in 16% of the irrigated land. In other 9.8% of the irrigated land, leaching fraction was required to achieve the defined salinity threshold. In the area where water blending was possible, this strategy resulted in the best irrigation water efficiency (IWE) estimated for the province. With water blending and LF when necessary, the annual gross income in the province can be increased by 80 mill €. The proposed GIS-base decision tool is easy to update for different crops and regions. It is able to transform and combine geographical data and value judgments for decision making in irrigation at a regional scale with a view of achieving the most efficient irrigation water use while avoiding negative effects on crop and soil due to water salinity.

Abstract

Silvia Scurati1, Franco Frati1, Gianni Passalacqua2, Paola Puccinelli1, Cecile Hilaire1, Cristoforo Incorvaia3, Italian Study Group on SLIT Compliance 1Scientific and Medical Department, Stallergenes, Milan, Italy; 2Allergy and Respiratory Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Genoa; 3Allergy/Pulmonary Rehabilitation, ICP Hospital, Milan, ItalyObjectives: Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is a viable alternative to subcutaneous immunotherapy to treat allergic rhinitis and asthma, and is widely used in clinical practice in many European countries. The clinical efficacy of SLIT has been established in a number of clinical trials and meta-analyses. However, because SLIT is self-administered by patients without medical supervision, the degree of patient adherence with treatment is still a concern. The objective of this study was to evaluate the perception by allergists of issues related to SLIT adherence.Methods: We performed a questionnaire-based survey of 296 Italian allergists, based on the adherence issues known from previous studies. The perception of importance of each item was assessed by a VAS scale ranging from 0 to 10.Results: Patient perception of clinical efficacy was considered the most important factor (ranked 1 by 54% of allergists), followed by the possibility of reimbursement (ranked 1 by 34%), and by the absence of side effects (ranked 1 by 21%). Patient education, regular follow-up, and ease of use of SLIT were ranked first by less than 20% of allergists.Conclusion: These findings indicate that clinical efficacy, cost, and side effects are perceived as the major issues influencing patient adherence to SLIT, and that further improvement of adherence is likely to be achieved by improving the patient information provided by prescribers.Keywords: adherence, sublingual immunotherapy, efficacy, cost, side effects

Abstract

Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy (MM) is still the most common treatment for grades III and IV hemorrhoids despite prolonged post-operative anal pain and wound healing. This multicenter, double blind, randomized, controlled trial was designed to assess the safety and the efficacy of anal wound cleansing with Triclosan (Proctocid®) in the control of symptoms and healing time after MM.A total of 113 patients with grades III and IV hemorrhoids, undergoing open hemorroidectomy by diathermy or Ligasure vessel sealing device, were randomly assigned to Triclosan or sodium hypochlorite solution. All patients received analgesics and a fiber-rich diet after hemorrhoidectomy. Postoperative anal pain, bleeding and/or secretion and itch were assessed 7, 14 and 21 days after hemorrhoidectomy by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the day of complete re-epithelialization of anal wounds was recorded.Fifty-five patients were randomized for Triclosan treatment and 58 for the control drug. The two groups were comparable for demographics, severity of hemorrhoids and technique used for the hemorrhoidectomy. The comparison of days to get complete anal wound healing shows a trend of significance (P=0.05) for the Triclosan group. Bleeding and/or secretion, anal pain and itch were significantly better (P=0.003; P0.0001 and P=0.01, respectively).Triclosan solution for the treatment of post-hemorrhoidectomy wounds is safe and improves the control of post-operative symptoms and wound healing time compared to sodium hypochlorite.

Abstract

Objectives To determine the performance in learning clinical research methodology (CRM) by means of the Keller Plan (KP), to assess its impact on attitudes towards research (AR) and to estimate its acceptability. Design An educational intervention trial was employed with control group (CG) and random assignment. Setting The Family and Community Medicine Teaching Unit in Valencia, Spain, 1997. Subjects Third-year family residents. Results In the KP both specific written self-teaching material and interactive computer programme were used, focusing on the tutored resident, with compulsory assessments to continue. In the CG a conventional course was followed. Knowledge of CRM and the AR test (previously validated in another study) were measured at the start. Four tests of successive knowledge, time spent studying, tutorials, final AR test and acceptability were conducted. Non-parametric tests were used. Forty (89%) residents participated, 22 were assigned to KP and 18 to CG. Similar basic characteristics, with exception of AR test (medians 55 Keller, 58 control). KP knowledge tests significantly higher (P =
