The "Evidence-based Telemedicine - Trauma & Acute Care Surgery" (EBT-TACS) Journal Club performed a critical review of the literature and selected three up-to-date articles on the management of splenic trauma. Our focus was on high-grade splenic injuries, defined as AAST injury grade III-V. The first paper was an update of the 2003 Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) practice m...

Recently, utilization of biological adsorbents plays an important role in the removal toxic dyes such as Eriochrome Black T (EBT) azo-dye they are considered being produced from natural renewable source, easy availability, low cost, and environmentally friendly. In this study, vermicompost (VC) was utilized to remove aqueous solution along ultrasonic ultrasonic-assisted adsorption. The paramete...

Ever since the invention of various leakage power reduction techniques, leakage and dynamic power reduction techniques are categorized into two separate sets. Most of them cannot be applied together during runtime. The gap between them is due to the large energy breakeven time (EBT) and wakeup time (WUT) of conventional leakage reduction techniques. This paper proposes a new leakage reduction t...

This article addresses the following cross-cutting issues evident in the special section of this issue: (a) current diagnoses do not provide adequate validity criteria; (b) the heterogeneity and comorbidity of target problems raise taxonomic challenges; (c) accurate assessment requires integration of multisource data; (d) developmental variations must be accommodated; (e) appropriate norms are ...

Research and clinical perspectives are blended in this commentary on the rapidly emerging requirement for evidence-based treatment (EBT) in substance abuse programs. Although, historically, it has not been a standard of care in behavioral health, there are sound scientific, ethical, and compassionate reasons to learn and deliver an EBT as it becomes available. This article explores a series of ...

The effect of dose rate on the real-time change in optical density (DeltaOD) of a GAFCHROMIC EBT film is quantified using a previously reported optical readout approach. A range of doses (5-1000 cGy) and dose rates (16-520 cGy min(-1)) are used, and a statistically significant difference between DeltaOD of films exposed at different dose rates occurs within approximately one order of magnitude ...

The 2-D resistive sensor array in the row-column fashion suffered from the crosstalk problem for parasitic parallel paths. Firstly, we proposed an Improved Isolated Drive Feedback Circuit with Compensation (IIDFCC) based on the voltage feedback method to suppress the crosstalk. In this method, a compensated resistor was specially used to reduce the crosstalk caused by the column multiplexer res...

In the debate over evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for youth, one question is central: Do EBTs produce better outcomes than the usual interventions employed in clinical care? The authors addressed this question through a meta-analysis of 32 randomized trials that directly compared EBTs with usual care. EBTs outperformed usual care. Effects fell within the small to medium range at posttreatment...
