This paper investigates a new method of interactive modelling to approximate position and shape of real patients’ organs. The method is particularly successful in that it greatly reduces the time needed to create patient specific models. KisMo [1] is an interactive graphics based modelling software for creating 3D models with elastodynamic behaviour for use with VS-One the Virtual Endoscopic Su...

In developing countries, workers’ employed under high-heat furnace work environments are exposed to severe heat stress; an ignored occupational health hazard especially the unorganized work-sectors. During hot summer season, lot of underprivileged workers strained by harsh thermal work-conditions with subsequent challenges, declining their productivity and attributes financial burden. As compar...

Novel view synthesis (NVS) and video prediction (VP) are typically considered disjoint tasks in computer vision. However, they can both be seen as ways to observe the spatial-temporal world: NVS aims synthesize a scene from new point of view, while VP see time. These two provide complementary signals obtain representation, viewpoint changes spatial observations inform depth, temporal motion cam...

OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the hemodynamics of exercise in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), with and without an exercise-induced abnormal blood pressure (BP) response, by ambulatory radionuclide monitoring of left ventricular (LV) function with the VEST device (Capintec Inc., Ramsey, New Jersey). BACKGROUND Blood pressure fails to increase >20 mm Hg during exercise in abou...

The primary purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of two forms of hand heating and to discuss specific trends that relate finger dexterity performance to variables such as finger skin temperature (T(fing)), finger blood flow (Q(fing)), forearm skin temperature (T(fsk)), forearm muscle temperature (Tfmus), mean weighted body skin temperature (Tsk), and change in body heat...

Study design Randomized experimental study. Objective Compared to able-bodied people, patients with paraplegia due thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) are at an increased risk of heat illnesses during exercise impaired thermoregulatory responses. To overcome this limitation, we investigated the performance three phase change material (PCM) cooling vests different melting temperatures (Eijsvogels,...

Abstract Despite improvements in reducing the rate of injuries to construction workers, industry remains a high-risk industry. Working conditions sites frequently pose heat hazards and presents uncontrolled risks. Technological solutions that generate early warnings have potential improve health safety. However, little research has been done The Smart Safety Vest system is proposed as an ‘inter...
