Ankle sprains are one of the most common athletic injuries. If a patient fails to improve through conservative management, surgery is an option restore ankle stability. The purpose this study analyze and assess variability across different rehabilitation protocols for care lateral ligament repair, reconstruction, suture tape augmentation surgical patients. Using web-based search published after...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the status of implants, marginal bone loss, and outcome of maxillary sinus floor augmentation in patients undergoing maxillary sinus lift and simultaneous implant placement with the use of bone grafts harvested adjacent to the actual surgical site. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients in need of maxillary sinus floor augmentation to enable...

PURPOSE This prospective longitudinal study reports on the results in patients given autologous tooth material for augmentation in a sinus elevation procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six patients with inadequate bone supply for augmentation in the maxillary posterior tooth region and at least one impacted maxillary third molar underwent sinus elevation surgery with lateral access using the par...

HYDIAG is a software developed in Matlab by the DISCO team at LAAS-CNRS. It is currently a software designed to simulate, diagnose and prognose hybrid systems using model-based techniques. An extension to active diagnosis is also provided. This paper aims at presenting the native HYDIAG tool, and its different extensions to prognosis and active diagnosis. Some results on an academic example are...

Data augmentation, a technique in which a training set is expanded with class-preserving transformations, is ubiquitous in modern machine learning pipelines. In this paper, we seek to establish a theoretical framework for understanding modern data augmentation techniques. We start by showing that for kernel classifiers, data augmentation can be approximated by first-order feature averaging and ...

The problem in which the object is to add a minimum weight set of edges to a graph so as to satisfy a given condition is called the augmentation problem. This problem has a wide variety [3-5, 10, 11, 14-201. If such a given condition is concerned with the vertexor edge-connectivity of a graph then the problem is referred to as the (vertexor edge-) connectivity augmentation problem. Frank and Ch...
