Abstract

Massive MIMO systems, where base stations are equipped with hundreds of antennas, are an attractive way to handle the rapid growth of data traffic. As the number of user equipments (UEs) increases, the initial access and handover in contemporary networks will be flooded by user collisions. In this paper, a random access protocol is proposed that resolves collisions and performs timing estimation by simply utilizing the large number of antennas envisioned in Massive MIMO networks. UEs entering the network perform spreading in both time and frequency domains, and their timing offsets are estimated at the base station in closed-form using a subspace decomposition approach. This information is used to compute channel estimates that are subsequently employed by the base station to communicate with the detected UEs. The favorable propagation conditions of Massive MIMO suppress interference among UEs whereas the inherent timing misalignments improve the detection capabilities of the protocol. Numerical results are used to validate the performance of the proposed procedure in cellular networks under uncorrelated and correlated fading channels. With $2.5\times10^3$ UEs that may simultaneously become active with probability 1\% and a total of $16$ frequency-time codes (in a given random access block), it turns out that, with $100$ antennas, the proposed procedure successfully detects a given UE with probability 75\% while providing reliable timing estimates., Comment: 30 pages, 6 figures, 1 table, submitted to Transactions on Communications

Abstract

Placental protein 13 (PP13) exhibits a plasma concentration that increases gradually during normal gestation, a process that is disrupted in preeclampsia, which is characterized by elevated vascular resistance, reduced utero-placental blood flow, and intrauterine growth restriction. This study investigated PP13's role in vascular tone regulation and its molecular mechanisms. Uterine and subcutaneous arteries, isolated from both pregnant and non-pregnant women, were precontracted with the thromboxane analogue U46619 and exposed to PP13 using pressurized myography. The molecular mechanisms were further investigated, using specific inhibitors for nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME+LNNA at 10−4 M) and guanylate cyclase (ODQ at 10−5 M). The results showed that PP13 induced vasodilation in uterine arteries, but not in subcutaneous arteries. Additionally, PP13 counteracted U46619-induced vasoconstriction, which is particularly pronounced in pregnancy. Further investigation revealed that PP13's mechanism of action is dependent on the activation of the nitric oxide–cGMP pathway. This study provides novel insights into the vasomodulatory effects of PP13 on human uterine arteries, underscoring its potential role in regulating utero-placental blood flow. These findings suggest that PP13 may be a promising candidate for improving utero-placental blood flow in conditions such as preeclampsia. Further research and clinical studies are warranted to validate PP13's efficacy and safety as a therapeutic agent for managing preeclampsia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Massive MIMO systems, where the base stations are equipped with hundreds of antennas, are an attractive way to handle the rapid growth of data traffic. As the number of users increases, the initial access and handover in contemporary networks will be flooded by user collisions. In this work, we propose a random access procedure that resolves collisions and also performs timing, channel, and power estimation by simply utilizing the large number of antennas envisioned in massive MIMO systems and the inherent timing misalignments of uplink signals during network access and handover. Numerical results are used to validate the performance of the proposed solution under different settings. It turns out that the proposed solution can detect all collisions with a probability higher than 90%, at the same time providing reliable timing and channel estimates. Moreover, numerical results demonstrate that it is robust to overloaded situations., Comment: submitted to IEEE Globecom 2016, Washington, DC USA

Abstract

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) presents a significant challenge in critical care settings, characterized by compromised gas exchange, necessitating in the most severe cases interventions such as veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) when conventional therapies fail. Critically ill ARDS patients on vv-ECMO may experience several complications. Limited data exist comparing complication rates between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 ARDS patients undergoing vv-ECMO. This retrospective observational study aimed to assess and compare complications in these patient cohorts. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of all patients receiving vv-ECMO for ARDS between March 2020 and March 2022. We recorded the baseline characteristics, the disease course and complication (barotrauma, bleeding, thrombosis) before and after ECMO cannulation, and clinical outcomes (mechanical ventilation and ECMO duration, intensive care unit, and hospital lengths of stay and mortalities). Data were compared between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients. In addition, we compared survived and deceased patients. Results: Sixty-four patients were included. COVID-19 patients (n = 25) showed higher rates of pneumothorax (28% vs. 8%, p = 0.039) with subcutaneous emphysema (24% vs. 5%, p = 0.048) and longer non-invasive ventilation duration before vv-ECMO cannulation (2 [1; 4] vs. 0 [0; 1] days, p = <0.001), compared to non-COVID-19 patients (n = 39). However, complication rates and clinical outcomes post-vv-ECMO were similar between groups. Survival analysis revealed no significant differences in pre-vv-ECMO complications, but non-surviving patients had a trend toward higher complication rates and more pleural effusions post-vv-ECMO. Conclusions: COVID-19 patients on vv-ECMO exhibit higher pneumothorax rates with subcutaneous emphysema pre-cannulation; post-cannulation complications are comparable to non-COVID-19 patients.

21. A Robust Ranging Scheme for OFDMA-Based Networks

Abstract

Uplink synchronization in orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) systems is a challenging task. In IEEE 802.16-based networks, users that intend to establish a communication link with the base station must go through a synchronization procedure called Initial Ranging (IR). Existing IR schemes aim at estimating the timing offsets and power levels of ranging subscriber stations (RSSs) without considering possible frequency misalignments between the received uplink signals and the base station local reference. In this work, we present a novel IR scheme for OFDMA systems where carrier frequency offsets, timing errors and power levels are estimated for all RSSs in a decoupled fashion. The proposed frequency estimator is based on a subspace decomposition approach, while timing recovery is accomplished by measuring the phase shift between the users'channel responses over adjacent subcarriers. Computer simulations are employed to assess the effectiveness of the proposed solution and to make comparisons with existing alternatives.

Abstract

This work presents a novel Initial Ranging scheme for orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access networks. Users that intend to establish a communication link with the base station (BS) are normally misaligned both in time and frequency and the goal is to jointly estimate their timing errors and carrier frequency offsets with respect to the BS local references. This is accomplished with affordable complexity by resorting to the ESPRIT algorithm. Computer simulations are used to assess the effectiveness of the proposed solution and to make comparisons with existing alternatives., Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; Proceedings of the Ninth IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications, Recife, Brazil, July 6 - 9, 2008

Abstract

An efficient scheme for initial ranging has recently been proposed by X. Fu et al. in the context of orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) networks based on the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard. The proposed solution aims at estimating the power levels and timing offsets of the ranging subscriber stations (RSSs) without taking into account the effect of possible carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) between the received signals and the base station local reference. Motivated by the above problem, in the present work we design a novel ranging scheme for OFDMA in which the ranging signals are assumed to be misaligned both in time and frequency. Our goal is to estimate the timing errors and CFOs of each active RSS. Specifically, CFO estimation is accomplished by resorting to subspacebased methods while a least-squares approach is employed for timing recovery. Computer simulations are used to assess the effectiveness of the proposed solution and to make comparisons with existing alternatives., Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, To appear in the Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Communications, Beijing, May 19 - 23, 2008

24. Symbol-Spaced Feedforward Techniques for Blind Bit Synchronization and Channel Estimation in FSO-OOK Communications

Author

D'Amico, Antonio A. and Morelli, Michele

Abstract

Clock recovery and channel parameter estimation are essential functions for reliable communications over a free-space optical (FSO) link. Thanks to its large bandwidth, FSO ensures high-speed transmissions with data rates similar to those enabled by optical fiber links. In such a case, synchronization procedures that operate at symbol rate are highly desirable, since signal oversampling would require expensive and power consuming analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). In this work we investigate the problem of bit synchronization and channel estimation in an FSO link that employs on-off keying (OOK) signaling and is plagued by a mixture of thermal noise, shot noise and background radiation. In doing so we resort to the least-square (LS) estimation principle and look for some feedforward solution that can operate in a non-data-aided (NDA) fashion using symbol-spaced samples. Since the true LS estimator leads to a computationally intractable multi-dimensional optimization problem, we develop suitable approximations that can be implemented with affordable complexity. The accuracy of the proposed schemes is assessed through computer simulations and compared with the relevant modified Cramér-Rao bound (MCRB). Thanks to their ability to operate at symbol rate, they represent a promising solution for blind synchronization in high-speed FSO communications.

Abstract

Introduction The aim of this series was to evaluate predictors of Proficiency score (PS) achievement on a multicentric series of robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (RARP) performed by trainee surgeons with two different surgical techniques at four tertiary-care centers. Material and methods Four institutional datasets were merged and queried for RARPs performed by surgeons during their learning curve (LC) between 2010 and 2020 using two different approaches (Group A, Retzius-sparing RARP, n = 164; Group B, standard anterograde RARP, n = 79). Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of PS achievement for the overall trainee cohort. For all analyses, a two-sided p <0.05 was considered significant. Results Group B showed significantly increased median operative time, positive surgical margins (PSM) status, increased number of nerve-sparing procedures, shorter LC time (each p <0.04). PS, continence status, potency, biochemical recurrence and 1-year trifecta rates were comparable between groups (each p >0.3). On multivariable analysis, time from LC starting ≥12 months (OR = 2.79; 95%IC [1.15-- 6.76]; p = 0.02) and a nerve-sparing intent (OR = 3.18; 95%IC [1.15--8.77]; p = 0.02) were independent predictors of PS score achievement (Table 3). Conclusions Higher PS rates for RARP trainees may be expected after 12 months from LC beginning. Short-term training courses are unlikely to confer proper surgical training, while long-term structured training programs seem to be beneficial on perioperative outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
