Predictors of Steroid Resistance in Patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Quantifying Behavioral Tails in Black-Box Language Models

We introduce RareTrap, a framework for estimating the probability of severe behaviors in black box large language models (LLMs). A key challenge for probability estimation is defining a tractable distribution over the input space. To accomplish that, RareTrap uses a surrogate LLM and constructs a geometry-aware mapping …

Probable Renal-Limited Sarcoidosis Presenting With Tubulointerstitial Nephritis Without Granulomas on Renal Biopsy: A diagnostic challenge

Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic multisystem inflammatory disorder characterised by non-caseating granulomas and a wide range of reported prevalence. Renal-limited sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis which remains a diagnostic challenge due to lack of extra renal manifestation and specific diagnostic criteri …

Idiopathic Capillary Leak Syndrome (Clarkson’s Disease): First Reported Case in Oman

Idiopathic capillary leak syndrome, also known as Clarkson’s Disease, is a rare cause of hypovolemic shock that physicians should be aware of. It is characterized by a state of hypovolemia with features of widespread fluid third spacing and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here, we present a challenging cas …

Integration of FBG Strain Sensors in WDM Networks, Effects on Quality Factor

A study of the effect of integrating an FBG sensor in a four wavelength WDM communications system operating at 1550 nm is presented. The simulations considered focus on the mutual effects of both the sensing and the communications systems. The effect of power levels of the interrogating optical source on the performanc …

Realization of a Simplified Controllability Computation Procedure: a MATLAB- SIMULINK Based Tool

With the use of MATLAB-SIMULINK a simple tool has been developed to compute the controllabilities of nodes as well as branches of digital system networks. The primary advantage of this tool may be for such conditions where the study of controllability analysis of a system with different possible designs is required to …
