Under COVID-19, the child welfare system faces unprecedented challenges and uncertainty (e.g. Selleck Proteasome inhibitor (partial) loss of cooperation opportunities with key partners) whilst showing signs of remarkable resilience (e.g. child protection workers' ability to adjust to new conditions). While the potential of digitalising work processes in child protection has become apparent in the pandemic, the proven continuous face-to-face contact between practitioners and their clients is neither dispensable nor replaceable.

BRAF inhibitors±MEK inhibitors can cause panniculitis. Since the initial case described in 2012by Zimmer et al., some sixty further cases have been reported. Based on a clinical study and a recent and complete review of the literature, we set out in detail the characteristics of panniculitis occurring during BRAF and MEK inhibition therapy as well as the treatment thereof.

A 25-year-old-patient followed for multi-metastatic melanoma and taking dabrafenib and trametinib consulted for the appearance, twenty-two days after the start of targeted therapy (TT), of panniculitis of the legs and forearms possibly induced by the TT after other causes had been ruled out. The TT had been continued following dose reduction and corticoid therapy for ten days, and complete resolution occurred after fifteen days.

Fifty-three cases of panniculitis during BRAF±MEK inhibition therapy were analysed. The condition occurred mainly with BRAF inhibitors alone (especially vemurafenib), but it was also described with three combinations of BRAF and MEK inhibitors, regardless of age (median 45years), with a M/F ratio of 0.51, and in 50% of cases, it occurred within the first month (time to onset between 1and 480days). Non-specific biopsy is useful to rule out differential diagnoses. Symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment, whether systemic or topical, may be given. In the absence of signs of severity, the TT may be continued.

When panniculitis occurs during BRAF±MEK inhibitor therapy, the causal role of the TT must be considered after full etiological investigation. It is essential to determine whether a causal relationship exists in order to avoid unwarranted cessation of treatment.

Recent work has shown that even the simplest spatial judgments - estimates of 2D area - present challenges to our visual system. Indeed, area judgments are best accounted for by 'additive area' (the sum of objects' dimensions) rather than 'true area' (i.e., a pixel count). But is 'additive area' itself the right explanation - or might other models better explain the results? Here, we offer two direct and novel demonstrations that 'additive area' explains area judgments. First, using stimuli that are simultaneously equated for number and all other confounding dimensions, we show that area judgments are nevertheless explained by 'additive area'. Next, we show how 'scaling' models of area fail to explain even basic illusions of area. By contrasting squares with diamonds (i.e., the same squares, but rotated), we show a robust tendency to perceive the diamonds as having more area - an effect that no other model of area perception would predict. These results not only confirm the fundamental role of 'additive area' in judgments of spatial extent, but they highlight the importance of accounting for this dimension in studies of other features (e.g., density, number) in visual perception.
Plaque erosion (PE) is responsible for at least one-third of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and inflammation plays a key role in plaque instability. We assessed the presence of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-defined macrophage infiltrates (MØI) at the culprit site in ACS patients with PE, evaluating their clinical and OCT correlates, along with their prognostic value.

ACS patients undergoing OCT imaging and presenting PE as culprit lesion were retrospectively selected. Presence of MØI at culprit site was assessed. The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), defined as the composite of cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction and target-vessel revascularization (TVR), was assessed [follow-up median (interquartile range, IQR) time 2.5 (2.03-2.58) years].

We included 153 patients [median age (IQR) 64 (53-75) years, 99 (64.7%) males]. Fifty-one (33.3%) patients presented PE with MØI and 102 (66.7%) PE without MØI. Patients having PE with MØI compared with PE patients without MØI had more vulnerable plaque features both at culprit site and at non-culprit segments. MACEs were significantly more frequent in PE with MØI patients compared with PE without MØI [11 (21.6%) vs. 6 (5.9%), p=0.008], mainly driven by a higher risk of cardiac death and TVR. At multivariable Cox regression, PE with MØI was an independent predictor of MACEs [HR=2.95, 95% CI (1.09-8.02), p=0.034].

Our study demonstrates that among ACS patients with PE the presence of MØI at culprit lesion is associated with more vulnerable plaque features, along with a worse prognosis at a long-term follow-up.

In this article we improve observer estimation accuracy by reducing the measurement variance on the sensor node before its transmission to the centralized observer node. The main contribution is to show that measurement variance is a trade-off between dynamical system variance and sensor variance. As a result there is an optimal averaging time that minimizes measurement variance, providing more accurate measurement to the observer. The optimal averaging time is computable by solving a univariate optimization problem.
