Pediatric Hand Surgery Training in Nicaragua: A Sustainable Model of Surgical Education in a Resource-Poor Environment. [PDF]
Recent reports have demonstrated that nearly two-thirds of the world's population do not have access to adequate surgical care, a burden that is borne disproportionately by residents of resource-poor countries.

An Improved Wrist Kinematic Model for Human-Robot Interaction [PDF]
Human kinematics is of fundamental importance for rehabilitation and assistive robotic systems that physically interact with human. The wrist plays an essential role for dexterous human-robot interaction, but its conventional kinematic model is oversimplified with intrinsic inaccuracies and its biomechanical model is too complicated for robotic ...

Complications Associated with Volar Locking Plate Fixation of Distal Radial Fractures. [PDF]
Volar locked plating is the most frequently utilized method for internal fixation of distal radial fractures. The overall complication rate for volar plating of distal radial fractures appears to be relatively low compared with other operative fixation ...

High prevalence of wild-type transthyretin deposition in patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome: a common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome in the elderly [PDF]
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common type of entrapment neuropathy. However, the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome remains unclear in most cases. Senile systemic amyloidosis, induced by wild-type transthyretin deposition, is a prevalent aging-related ...

Euclidean resonance and a new type of nuclear reactions [PDF]
The extremely small probability of quantum tunneling through an almost classical potential barrier may become not small under the action of the specially adapted nonstationary field. The tunneling rate has a sharp peak as a function of the particle energy when it is close to the certain resonant value defined by the nonstationary field (Euclidean ...

CARPAL: Confidence-Aware Intent Recognition for Parallel Autonomy [PDF]
Predicting driver intentions is a difficult and crucial task for advanced driver assistance systems. Traditional confidence measures on predictions often ignore the way predicted trajectories affect downstream decisions for safe driving. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-task intent recognition neural network that predicts not only probabilistic ...

The causal consciousness: presynaptic beta-neurexin promotes neuromediator release via vibrational multidimensional tunneling [PDF]
Epiphenomenalism is shown to be absurd because the development of consciousness must be explainable through natural selection. A detailed neuromolecular basis of the neuromediator release is given and it is stressed on the possible key point where the quantum mind could act, namely presynaptic scaffold protein dynamics and detachment of the calcium ...
