In recent years, patch representation learning has emerged as a necessary research direction for exploiting the capabilities of machine learning in software generation. These representations have driven significant performance enhancements across a variety of tasks involving code changes. While the progress is…

Runtime software patching aims to minimize or eliminate service downtime, user interruptions and potential data losses while deploying a patch. Due to modern software systems' high variance and heterogeneity, no universal solutions are available or proposed to deploy and execute patches at runtime. Existing runtime…

'Martin Monperrus' 'Yves Le Traon'] In this work, we investigate the practice of patch construction in the Linux kernel development, focusing on the dierences between three patching processes: (1) patches crafted entirely manually to x bugs, (2) those that are derived from warnings of bug detection tools, and (3) those…

Bioadhesive materials and patches are promising alternatives to surgical sutures and staples. However, many existing bioadhesives do not meet the functional requirements of current surgical procedures and interventions. Here we present a translational patch material that exhibits: (1) instant adhesion to wet tissues…

'Annette C. Kuesel'] Background Elimination of onchocerciasis in Africa is now regarded as an achievable goal in many areas. This makes monitoring changes in infection prevalence a key component of control programmes. Monitoring is currently based on determining the presence of O. volvulus microfilariae in skin snips…

Chronic wounds with impaired healing capability such as diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are devastating complications in diabetic patients, inflicting rapidly growing clinical and economic burdens in aging societies. Despite recent advances in therapeutic approaches, limited benefits of the existing solutions highlight the…

In the last decade, studies have shown that short-term monocular deprivation strengthens the deprived eye’s contribution to binocular vision. However, the magnitude of the change in eye dominance after monocular deprivation (i.e., the patching effect) has been found to be different between for different methods and…

Significant technical challenges exist when measuring synaptic connections between neurons in living brain tissue. The patch clamping technique, when used to probe for synaptic connections, is manually laborious and time-consuming. To improve its efficiency, we pursued another approach: instead of retracting all patch…

We envision a world where the developer would receive each morning in her GitHub dashboard a list of potential patches that fix certain production failures. For this, we propose a novel program repair scheme, with the unique feature of being applicable to production directly. We present the design and implementation of…

'Xiaoyin Wang'] Abstract—An upstream task for software bill-of-materials (SBOMs) is the accurate localization of the patch that fixes a vulnerability. Nevertheless, existing work reveals a significant gap in the CVEs whose patches exist but are not traceable [1]. Existing works have proposed several approaches to…

'Kenneth R. Ziegler' 'Wei Lv' 'Chenzi Yang' 'Chang Shu' 'Alan Dardik' 'Gian Paolo Fadini'] Objective Pericardial patches are commonly used in vascular surgery to close arteriotomies. The mechanism of early healing after patch implantation is still not well defined. We used a rat aortic patch model to assess pericardial…

Passive mechanical reinforcement of the infarcted heart has been shown to counteract infarct expansion and left ventricular (LV) functional degradation. However, traditional patch plasty of the ischemic region also restricts diastolic filling, reducing cardiac output. These negative side-effects can be minimized with…

Automated vulnerability patching is crucial for software security, and recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) present promising capabilities for automating this task. However, existing research has primarily assessed LLMs using publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, leaving their effectiveness on related…

'Rony Rachmiel'] Background To protect from erosion of the tube in glaucoma drainage device (GDD), the tube is covered by a biologic tissue which is roofed by the conjunctiva. Sclera, pericardium, dura mater and cornea are available as a patch graft. Drawbacks of some of these materials may include high cost and poor…

Purpose To describe a new method of treatment of corneal perforation with extensive corneoscleral melt. Case Report A 42-year-old man presented with moderate-sized (3.5 mm) corneal perforation with extensive corneo-limbo-scleral ulceration following bare sclera excision of pterygium. No prior use of antimetabolites or…

Dear Editor, Chronic lower limb ulcers (CLLUs) are lesions that occur below the knee and last for more than six weeks. They are usually venous ulcers (60%-70%), arterial or mixed ulcers (10%-25%), and neuropathic ulcers, and affect 1%-7% of the population over 65 years of age, representing an important public health…

Conductive cardiac patches can help to restore electric signal conduction of the diseased myocardium after myocardial infarction (MI). However, none of the conductive cardiac patches reported in literature has entered clinical trials. Bench-to-bedside translation of conductive patches has long been hindered by the lack…

'Frank G. Holz' 'Karl Mercieca'] Aim To evaluate a useful, non-contact method for the follow-up of pericardium patch graft changes in patients undergoing PAUL® Glaucoma Implant (PGI) surgery using high-resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) to predict tube erosions. Methods Prospective analysis…

Predicting protein-ligand binding affinity from three-dimensional (3D) structural data is a central task in structure-based drug discovery, yet it remains challenging due to limited data availability, structural complexity, and the sparse nature of 3D molecular representations. In this study, we investigate the…

Mesoporous adsorbent materials offer a large volumetric capacity; however, cyclic adsorption/desorption processes in these systems often suffer from hysteresis and may require a significant pressure swing to access this capacity. To mitigate hysteresis, a proposed strategy is to include nucleation sites on the walls of…

Purpose. To describe a surgical technique using amniotic membrane transplant (AMT) with fibrin glue (FG) for treating smaller corneal perforations more practically and appropriately filling the defect. Method. A patient with noninfectious central corneal perforation, in 1 mm in diameter, was treated with FG-assisted…
