CLINICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF GENETIC AND NON-GENETIC FACTORS ON INR NORMALIZATION IN PRE-OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT OF WARFARIN PATIENTS by ELJILANY, ISLAM AHMED SAYED AHMED

“…To optimize the period of preprocedural warfarin interruption to decrease the incidence of bleeding in case of bridging and the incidence of thromboembolism in case of non-bridging, a study was conducted to determine the influence of CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4F2, FII, and FVII genetic polymorphisms and non-genetic factors on INR decline in a cohort of Arabs undergoing a procedure that requires warfarin interruption and developing an algorithm to tailor the duration of warfarin interruption before the procedure. …”

Minimizing energy consumption of IoT devices for O-RAN based IoT systems by Wang, Liping

“…Although the traditional edge network architecture has been extensively employed, it continues to pose challenges in terms of synchronizing the integration of global and local information for the design of an optimal offloading strategy in edge servers, thus hindering the reduction of latency and energy consumption in IoT devices. In an effort to decrease the latency and energy consumption of IoT devices (IoTDs), we propose a computation offloading problem and employs the Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) algorithm to convert the non-convex problem into a convex problem. …”
