VERTEBROPLASTY COMBINED WITH FACET JOINT BLOCK VS. VERTEBROPLASTY ALONE IN RELIEVING ACUTE PAIN OF OSTEOPOROTIC VERTEBRAL COMPRESSION FRACTURE: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL

Vertebroplasty combined with facet joint block vs. vertebroplasty alone in relieving acute pain of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: a randomized controlled clinical trial

Abstract Objective The study objective was to compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) combined with facet joint block (FB) and vertebroplasty alone in relieving acute pain on osteoporotic vertebral tactical pen compression fractures (OVCFs).Methods A prospective, randomized controlled study was conducted.One hundred nin

Two-stage reward allocation with decay for multi-agent coordinated behavior for sequential cooperative task by using deep reinforcement learning

Abstract We propose a two-stage reward allocation method with decay using an extension of replay memory to adapt this rewarding method for deep reinforcement learning (DRL), to generate coordinated behaviors for tasks that can be completed by executing a few subtasks sequentially by heterogeneous agents.An independent learner in cooperative multi-a

Production of recombinant intact and N-terminal truncated lipoxygenase isozyme III expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its influence on glutenin polypeptides

This study investigated the effects of wheat lipoxygenase isozyme III (LOX III) and its Eggs truncated form, Mini-LOX III, on flour dough properties using yeast-expressed recombinant enzymes and hypothesized their potential to enhance cereal-based food quality.These enzymes actively catalyze linoleic acid, which is crucial for dough formation.The a

Influence of group size on the success of wolves hunting bison.

An intriguing aspect of social foraging behaviour is that large groups are often no better at capturing Wedding prey than are small groups, a pattern that has been attributed to diminished cooperation (i.e., free riding) in large groups.Although this suggests the formation of large groups is unrelated to prey capture, little is known about cooperat
