Aim: Inadequate preoperative airway assessment is one of the most common causes failed management and intubation. Fibreoptic bronchoscopic intubation (FBI) an effective technique for creating access in patients with expected unexpected difficult airways. The aim this study to evaluate incidence predicted (DA) intubated due DA FBI.
 Materials Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical rec...

Tracheal rupture is a rare condition, and its most common cause is head and neck injury. Nontraumatic disruption of the anterolateral fibrocartilaginous trachea is an exceptional complication following thyroidectomy with few cases reported in literature. We report a case of upper tracheal necrosis arising 15 days after uneventful total thyroidectomy and resulted in pneumomediastinum and subcuta...

Using clinical judgment alone, mental health professionals cannot predict individual patient violence much more accurately than chance. Clinicians could improve their prediction of violence if they routinely used structured risk assessment instruments, but they don't; the use of such tools for screening is not currently the standard of care in the United States and is not commonly reimbursed by...

Purpose: This research will try to predict damage probability and calculate the main stress resulted from baton impacts by finite element (FE) modeling of the human head considering skull texture, brain and cerebrospinal fluid.Materials and Methods: A three dimensional FE model of the skull-brain complex was constructed for simulating the baton impact. The FE analysis was carried out using ANSY...

Five camera sensors were tested in simulations with hyperspectral data from 50 outdoor scenes. There was a marked variation across sensors in the estimated number of distinguishable colored surfaces, unpredicted by previous related estimates. OCIS codes: (280.4788) Optical sensing and sensors; (330.1710) Color, measurement; (330.6180) Spectral discrimination; (110.3055) Information theoretical ...

This article describes a new method of quality control dynamically unstable object based on quantum computing. This method enables to control object in unpredicted situations with incomplete information about the structure of the control object. The efficiency over other methods of intelligent control is shown on the benchmark with partial unstable generalized coordinates as stroboscopic roboti...

A generalized design strategy of intelligent robust control systems based on quantum/soft computing technologies that enhance robustness of hybrid intelligent controllers by supplying a self-organizing capability is described. We stress our attention on the robustness features of intelligent control systems in unpredicted control situations with the simulation of Benchmark.

Low scaling technology makes a significant reduction in dimension and supply voltage, and lead to new challenges about power consumption such as increasing nodes sensitivity over radiation-induced soft errors in VLSI circuits. In this area, different design methods have been proposed to low power flip-flops and various research studies have been done to reach a suitable hardened flip-flops. In ...

Organizations, businesses, and communities at large are exposed to unprecedented adversities, uncertainties, economic, social, ecological shocks disruptions caused by natural disasters, climate change, political turmoil, global recession, economic instability, fluctuations in energy-source prices, war terrorism dilemmas, pandemics, several other newly rising social turbulences. This situation h...
