Fatal pediatric neck entrapment in a lift‐up storage bed: A preventable domestic asphyxial death

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Bed‐related deaths are rare in forensic practice and are usually associated with falls, restraint‐related entrapment, or unsafe infant sleeping environments. Fatal mechanical asphyxia involving lift‐up storage beds is an exceptional occurrence, and the few published cases involve adult victims.

Temporary Right Ventricular Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices in Acute Right Ventricular Failure and Cardiogenic Shock: A Cross‐Device Systematic Review and Single‐Arm Meta‐Analysis

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Among selected patients receiving temporary right ventricular support, pooled survival to discharge was 60.4%, and separately pooled successful weaning was 60.6%. These descriptive estimates from 106 heterogeneous observational studies, predominantly involving concurrent left‐sided or biventricular support, cannot establish treatment benefit or ...

Encoding Occupancy in Memory Location for Efficient and Compact High‐Resolution Voxel Structures

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We encode information about geometric structure into the pointers of a sparse voxel directed acyclic graph (SVDAG). Each pointer carries information about the structure of the node it points to. Our encoding improves ray tracing performance and reduces model size in memory.

An Unconventional and Novel Therapeutic Technique of Anterior Indirect Decompression in a Case of C6–C7 Synovial Cyst Associated with Radiculopathy

Indian Spine Journal, 2019
Synovial cysts are infrequent findings in the spine and mostly located in the lumbar area. Even rarer is the occurrence of a synovial cyst in the cervical spine.

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...

Open Versus Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in the Treatment of Single-Level Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: An AO Spine Global Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]

Neurospine
Objective This study aims to assess global trends in the use of open surgery versus minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for the treatment of single-level L4–5 degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS). Methods A cross-sectional online survey issued by the

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

Decompression rates during Phase 1 of saturation decompression.

, 2015
* this step was used only for saturation decompression with compressed air (PiO2 = 0.588 ata), for other breathing mixtures, when PiO2 = 0.5 ata, rate of saturation decompression in this step was already as calculated in Phase 2 of decompression ...

Uncertainty‐Aware Visual Analysis of Force Networks in 2D Granular Materials

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Uncertainty in experimental measurements makes it challenging to determine which features are intrinsic to the phenomenon and which are most stable and reliable. Granular materials, such as sand, form a complex system in which the forces between individual particles influence the material's macroscopic behavior.

Interspinous process devices versus standard conventional surgical decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis: cost-utility analysis

, 2016
CONCLUSIONS: Implantation of IPD as indirect decompressing device is highly unlikely to be cost effective compared with bony decompression for patients with intermittent neurogenic claudication caused by LSS. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
