Background: Stature can be estimated from body parameters in dead and mutilated bodies using regression equation or multiplication factor. However, regression equations and multiplication factors are specific for the region only and can’t be used in all population. Aim: To formulate regression equation and multiplication factor for the estimation of stature from arm span (AS) for a region in Ma...

BACKGROUND Marfan syndrome (MS) is an autosomic dominant condition of the connective tissue that involves the ocular, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. MS is caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene, leading to joint ligaments flaccidity, joint hypermobility and an overgrowth of the long bones. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to assess anthropometry, musculoskeletal a...

Since rock climbing grows in popularity, the number of the respective scientific reports increases. However, those concerning anthropometric profile of elite climbers are scarce and inconsistent, thus the aim of the study was to describe the anthropometric characteristics of competitive sport climbers. Male rock climbers (n = 21) aged 17 - 29 years took part in the study; their climbing ability...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the accuracy of arm-associated height estimation methods in the calculation of true height compared with stretch stature in a sample of young South African adults. DESIGN A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed. SETTING Pietermaritzburg, Westville and Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, 2015. SUBJECTS Convenience sample (N 900) aged 18-24 years, which i...

<span lang="EN-US">The use of a convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyze and classify electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has recently attracted the interest researchers identify epileptic seizures. This success come with an enormous increase in computational complexity memory requirements CNNs. For sake boosting performance CNN inference, several hardware accelerators have been propo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Age and stroke severity are inversely correlated with the odds of favorable outcome after ischemic stroke. A previously proposed score for Stroke Prognostication Using Age and NIHSS Stroke Scale (SPAN) indicated that SPAN-100-positive patients (ie, age + NIHSS score = 100 or more) do not benefit from IV-tPA. If this finding holds true for endovascular therapy, this score ...
