Strategies for prevention of lower limb post-amputation pain: A clinical narrative review
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2018 Postamputation limb pain or phantom limb pain (PLP) develops due to the complex interplay of peripheral and central sensitization. The pain mechanisms are different during the initial phase following amputation as compared with the chronic PLP.

Computer-Aided Assessment of Catheters and Tubes on Radiographs: How Good is Artificial Intelligence for Assessment? [PDF]
, 2020 Catheters are the second most common abnormal finding on radiographs. The position of catheters must be assessed on all radiographs, as serious complications can arise if catheters are malpositioned. However, due to the large number of radiographs performed each day, there can be substantial delays between the time a radiograph is performed and when it

Automatic catheter detection in pediatric X-ray images using a scale-recurrent network and synthetic data [PDF]
, 2018 Catheters are commonly inserted life supporting devices. X-ray images are used to assess the position of a catheter immediately after placement as serious complications can arise from malpositioned catheters. Previous computer vision approaches to detect catheters on X-ray images either relied on low-level cues that are not sufficiently robust or only ...
