Robust Meta-Model for Predicting the Need for Blood Transfusion in Non-traumatic ICU Patients [PDF]
Objective: Blood transfusions, crucial in managing anemia and coagulopathy in ICU settings, require accurate prediction for effective resource allocation and patient risk assessment. However, existing clinical decision support systems have primarily targeted a particular patient demographic with unique medical conditions and focused on a single type of

Deep Sequential Mosaicking of Fetoscopic Videos [PDF]
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome treatment requires fetoscopic laser photocoagulation of placental vascular anastomoses to regulate blood flow to both fetuses. Limited field-of-view (FoV) and low visual quality during fetoscopy make it challenging to identify all vascular connections.

TransFuse: Fusing Transformers and CNNs for Medical Image Segmentation [PDF]
Medical image segmentation - the prerequisite of numerous clinical needs - has been significantly prospered by recent advances in convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, it exhibits general limitations on modeling explicit long-range relation, and existing cures, resorting to building deep encoders along with aggressive downsampling operations ...

TransFuser: Imitation with Transformer-Based Sensor Fusion for Autonomous Driving [PDF]
How should we integrate representations from complementary sensors for autonomous driving? Geometry-based fusion has shown promise for perception (e.g. object detection, motion forecasting). However, in the context of end-to-end driving, we find that imitation learning based on existing sensor fusion methods underperforms in complex driving scenarios ...

Predictors of high-quality cord blood units [PDF]
BACKGROUNDAnalysis of umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplants shows a correlation between engraftment and total number of infused cells. Thus, it is worth evaluating what maternal and neonatal characteristics and collection techniques may affect the ...

Placenta accreta spectrum is a serious condition that can be treated by different surgical strategies. Most IS‐PAS centers prefer hysterectomy over conservative techniques. However, especially focal resection might be equally effective for women who want to keep their uterus.

A Fractional Differential Transformation Solution Method for the Assessment, Monitoring, Control, and Evaluation of HIV/AIDS Confirmed Status with Vertical Transmission in Nigeria [PDF]
HIV is a deadly virus transmitted either through having of unprotected sex, mother to child transmission, sharing of unsterilized objects that is capable of making cut or wounds on the body, through blood or bodily fluid transmission. AIDS has no permanent cure but remedies that help in suppressing the power effect of the virus are available.

A review of evidence on non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) : tests for fetal RHD genotype [PDF]
This report concentrates on three main areas. First and foremost, we set the background context for RhD NIPD in prenatal care. While the methodology chapter describes how the literature review was carried out and how additional information was collected,

Emergency delivery in case of suspected placenta accreta spectrum: Can it be predicted?
By analyzing independent risk factors for emergency deliveries within the IS‐PAS database cohort, a multivariate predictive model was created, in which antenatal vaginal bleeding and placental location away from the cesarean scar are the strongest factors.
