Deep Sequential Mosaicking of Fetoscopic Videos [PDF]
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome treatment requires fetoscopic laser photocoagulation of placental vascular anastomoses to regulate blood flow to both fetuses. Limited field-of-view (FoV) and low visual quality during fetoscopy make it challenging to identify all vascular connections.

TransFuse: Fusing Transformers and CNNs for Medical Image Segmentation [PDF]
Medical image segmentation - the prerequisite of numerous clinical needs - has been significantly prospered by recent advances in convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, it exhibits general limitations on modeling explicit long-range relation, and existing cures, resorting to building deep encoders along with aggressive downsampling operations ...

TransFuser: Imitation with Transformer-Based Sensor Fusion for Autonomous Driving [PDF]
How should we integrate representations from complementary sensors for autonomous driving? Geometry-based fusion has shown promise for perception (e.g. object detection, motion forecasting). However, in the context of end-to-end driving, we find that imitation learning based on existing sensor fusion methods underperforms in complex driving scenarios ...

A Fractional Differential Transformation Solution Method for the Assessment, Monitoring, Control, and Evaluation of HIV/AIDS Confirmed Status with Vertical Transmission in Nigeria [PDF]
HIV is a deadly virus transmitted either through having of unprotected sex, mother to child transmission, sharing of unsterilized objects that is capable of making cut or wounds on the body, through blood or bodily fluid transmission. AIDS has no permanent cure but remedies that help in suppressing the power effect of the virus are available.

A rare case of immune hydrops in an “Elevated D” pregnancy
The D-/-phenotype is a rare variant of the Rh system, in which red blood cells express only D antigen. Sensitized D-/-women carry a risk of hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn (HDFN) and pose a challenge in management due to nonavailability of antigen
