UNSTRUCTURED We have several comments on the recent publication of [1], in which repeated testing of four symptom assessment applications with clinical vignettes was carried out to look for “hints of ‘non-locked learning algorithms’”. As the developer of one of the symptom assessment applications studied by [1], we are supportive of studies evaluating app performance, however there are important limitations in the methodology of the study. Most importantly, the methodology used in this study is not capable of addressing its main objective. The approach used to look for evidence of non-locked algorithms was the quantification of differences in performance using three ophthalmology vignettes, first in 2018 then in 2020. This methodology, although highly limited due to the use of only three vignettes in one medical specialism, could be used to detect changes in app performance over time. It however cannot be used to distinguish between non-locked algorithms and the manual updating of the apps’ medical intelligence, through the normal process of manual release of updated app versions.

Scanning microscopy was used to study the surface of human gallstones and the surface of fractures. The specimens were obtained by operation, washed with water, dried at room temperature and shadowcasted with carbon and aluminum. Most of the specimens belong to patients from a series of X-ray follow-up study, examined during the last twenty years. So it was possible to evaluate approximately the age of these gallstones and to get information on the intensity of growing and solving.Cholesterol, a group of bile pigment substances and different salts of calcium, are the main components of human gallstones. By X-ray diffraction technique, infra-red spectroscopy and by chemical analysis it was demonstrated that all three components can be found in any gallstone. In the presence of water cholesterol crystallizes in pane-like plates of the triclinic crystal system.
