PSHead: 3D Head Reconstruction from a Single Image with Diffusion Prior and Self‐Enhancement

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce PSHead, a coarse‐to‐fine framework guided by both object and face priors, to produce a Gaussian‐based 3D avatar for a single frontal‐view reference image. In the coarse stage, we create an initial 3D representation by applying diffusion models trained for general object generation, using Score Distillation Sampling losses over novel views.

Eyeglasses and the Microscope [PDF]

Nature, 1928
WITH reference to T. H. T.'s suggestion (NATURE, Jan. 28, p. 137) for dealing with eyeglasses while using the microscope, I find it quite sufficient to remove the cap from the eyepiece of the microscope; this allows the eye to approach to the right distance and at the same time keep the vision corrected for astigmatism.

Exploring Current Emergency Medical Services Approaches to Manage Agitated Older Adult Patients: An Analysis of Statewide Protocols

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
Most state EMS protocols provide guidance on management of agitated patients, including use of physical restraints and chemical sedatives, yet older adult‐specific modifications or dosing guidance are uncommon. ABSTRACT Background Agitation in older adults presents unique challenges for emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians.
