BACKGROUND The clinical relevance of emboli limited to the segmental or sub-segmental pulmonary arteries and the role of anticoagulation in patients with these conditions remains to be clarified. OBJECTIVES To determine the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of peripheral pulmonary embolism (PE), and in particular, isolated sub-segmental PE (ISSPE). METHODS We reviewed the data...

Segments that span contiguous parts of inputs, such as phonemes in speech, named entities in sentences, actions in videos, occur frequently in sequence prediction problems. Segmental models, a class of models that explicitly hypothesizes segments, have allowed the exploration of rich segment features for sequence prediction. However, segmental models suffer from slow decoding, hampering the use...

A simple, reliable method for the in vitro cultivation of snapping turtle embryos was demonstrated. This technique was used to study somite formation in explants containing segmental plates. Segmental plates formed a full complement of somites whether the neural tube or the neural tube and notochord was present. Explanted snapping turtle segmental plates formed an average of 6.6 +/- 1.2 somites...

Posterior short-segmental fixation is reliable for the management of thoracolumbar fractures; however, it is associated with recurrence of kyphosis and failure of fixation. This study compared the short-term results of short-segmental fixation combined with intermediate screws with those of conventional intersegmental fixation in the treatment of monosegmental thoracolumbar fractures. The recor...
