Congenital radial club hand (RCH) is an uncommon congenital anomaly characterized by various degrees of deficiency along the preaxial or radial side of the extremity. We present one such case of Type 4 congenital isolated RCH who presented to a tertiary care center in the Middle East.

Wearable cameras allow people to record their daily activities from a user-centered (First Person Vision) perspective. Due to their favorable location, wearable cameras frequently capture the hands of the user, and may thus represent a promising user-machine interaction tool for different applications. Existent First Person Vision methods handle hand segmentation as a background-foreground prob...

In this note, we provide a general result that explains the examples contained in [1], [3], [4], and [5]. We also observe with interest that this problem seems to have been proposed anew at nearly regular intervals of ten to fifteen years. The article [2] also contains a discussion of this problem. Using the notation in [3], suppose that f is a real-valued function defined on the interval [0, 1...

PURPOSE Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy has acquired an important role in the era of minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic harvesting of the right kidney is technically more challenging than that of the left kidney because of the short right renal vein and the need to retract the liver away from the right kidney. The aim of this article is to report our experience with right laparoscopic...

In Corpus-Based Machine Translation, the search space of the translation candidates for a given input sentence is often defined by a set of (cyclefree) context-free grammar rules. This happens naturally in Syntax-Based Machine Translation and Hierarchical Phrase-Based Machine Translation (where the representation will be the set of the target-side half of the synchronous rules used to parse the...
