Post-operative complications are common in ankle fractures but only 5% of patients who undergo syndesmosis repair experience implant-related (IRC) such as breakage or device failure. Clinical conditions associated with IRC poorly documented. This study evaluated concurrent diagnoses IRC. Patients (0-64 years old) within IBM MarketScan® Commercial database in- outpatient diagnosis fracture treat...

Successful resection of cortical tissue engendering seizure activity is efficacious for the treatment of refractory, focal epilepsy. The pre-operative localization of the seizure focus is therefore critical to yielding positive, post-operative outcomes. In a small proportion of focal epilepsy patients presenting with normal MRI, identification of the seizure focus is significantly more challeng...

This paper investigates the dominant impact on the interference rejection combining (IRC) receiver due to the downlink reference signal (RS) based covariance matrix estimation scheme. When the transmission modes using the cell-specific RS (CRS) in LTE/LTE-Advanced are assumed, the property of the non-precoded CRS is different from that of the data signals. This difference poses two problems to ...

Objective-This study aimed to determine the protective effects of benidipine on testicular injury after testis torsion/detorsion in ratsDesign-Experimental study Animals-Fifteen male Sprague-Dawly rats weighing 200-220g Procedure-Rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham (healthy group with sham operation, n=5), IRC group (control group in which I/R injury was performed by tors...

Abstract Tidal forcing influences groundwater flow and salt distribution in shallow coastal aquifers, with the interaction between sea level variations geology proving fundamental for assessing risk of seawater intrusion (SI). Constraining relative importance each is often confounded by abstraction geological heterogeneity, understanding latter restricted sampling point availability poor spatia...

Insuficiência renal crônica (IRC) é caracterizada pela deterioração irreversível dos néfrons, que causa uma condição com prejuízo do desempenho físico indivíduos, principalmente de membros inferiores (MMII), devido a sarcopenia urêmica e déficit vitamina D. Objetivo: Avaliar eficiência um programa resistência muscular para MMII pacientes IRC. Métodos: Cinco IRC participaram reabilitação ocorreu...

We introduce a jet tagger based on neural network analyzing the Minkowski functionals (MFs) of pixelated images. The MFs are geometric measures binary images, and they can be regarded as generalization particle multiplicity, which is an important quantity in tagging. Their changes by dilation encode constituents' structures that appear at various angular scales. explicitly show this analysis us...
