BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in septic patients. Albuminuria may play a role as an early marker of septic AKI. The potential association between de novo dipstick albuminuria (DA) and septic AKI has not been examined. METHODS We conducted a single-center observational cohort study of 423 critically ill septic patients without chronic kidney disease (CKD) or prior posi...

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are being explored in an attempt to mimic brain's capability to learn and recognize at low power. Crossbar architecture with highly scalable Resistive RAM or RRAM array serving as synaptic weights and neuronal drivers in the periphery is an attractive option for SNN. Recognition (akin to “reading” the synaptic weight) requires small amplitude bias applied across t...

This article argues that non-consensual vaccination is morally impermissible, for the same reasons which sexual assault not permissible. Likewise, mandatory akin to harassment, and therefore be allowed.
