Learning a Generalized Physical Face Model From Data [PDF]

Physically-based simulation is a powerful approach for 3D facial animation as the resulting deformations are governed by physical constraints, allowing to easily resolve self-collisions, respond to external forces and perform realistic anatomy edits. Today's methods are data-driven, where the actuations for finite elements are inferred from captured ...

Investigating the Spillover Mechanisms of Payment Incentives on the Outcomes for Non‐Targeted Patients

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Payment reforms in healthcare can have spillover effects on the care experienced by non‐targeted patients treated by the same provider. Few empirical studies have quantitatively investigated the mechanisms behind these effects. We formulate theory‐driven hypotheses to investigate the spillover mechanisms of a regional payment reform in the ...

StrokeSave: A Novel, High-Performance Mobile Application for Stroke Diagnosis using Deep Learning and Computer Vision [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
According to the WHO, Cerebrovascular Stroke, or CS, is the second largest cause of death worldwide. Current diagnosis of CS relies on labor and cost intensive neuroimaging techniques, unsuitable for areas with inadequate access to quality medical facilities. Thus, there is a great need for an efficient diagnosis alternative.

Oncological Feasibility of Limited Neck Dissection in cN0 Supraglottic Laryngeal Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a significant portion of head and neck cancers, with the management of clinically negative necks (cN0) through selective neck dissection (SND) being debated due to potential morbidities and low metastasis rates in levels IIb and IV.

Preoperative medical treatments and surgical approaches for acromegaly: A systematic review

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 14-31, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Acromegaly is a condition characterized by an overproduction of growth hormone which infers high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. The objective of this review is to analyse and appraise the current evidence for the generalized use of preoperative medications and the various surgical approaches as described in the literature.

A study on the effect of age, gender and paralysis on sEMG signals [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Surface Electromyography (sEMG) is a technology to measure the bio-potentials across the muscles. The true prospective of this technology is yet to be explored. In this paper, a simple and economic construction of a sEMG sensor is proposed. These sensors are used to determine the differences in the Electromyography (EMG) signal patterns of different ...
