Innovative roadside design curve of lateral clearance: Roadway reverse horizontal curves
Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English Edition), 2018 This paper presents a proposed concept of a spiraled roadside curve for determining the required lateral clearance that satisfies sight distance needs on a roadway reverse horizontal curve.

Surgical lateral clearance in resected rectal carcinomas.A multivariate analysis of clinicopathologic features [PDF]
Cancer, 1993 Incomplete removal of the tumor is the main cause of local recurrence in rectal carcinomas; this often occurs at the lateral aspects devoid of the peritoneum. The authors examined prospectively 80 resected rectal carcinoma specimens in an attempt to discover a reliable method to detect lateral resection margin (LRM) involvement by these tumors and to ...

Lung volume recruitment improves volitional airway clearance in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
Muscle and Nerve, 2021 AbstractIntroduction/AimsIn this study we evaluated the effects of lung volume recruitment treatment (LVR), a low‐tech, low‐cost, manual “breath‐stacking” technique used to help people cough with enough force to clear their airways, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and choking, on five volitional airway clearance and protection behaviors used by

On Maximizing Lateral Clearance of an Autonomous Vehicle in Urban Environments [PDF]
2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC), 2019 We consider the problem of maximizing distance to road agents for a self-driving car. To this extent, we employ a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach for the steering tracking control of an Autonomous Vehicle (AV). Specifically, we first present a traditional MPC controller, which is then extended to encode the clearance maximization goal by ...

Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2021 Changes in lateral clearance are prone to drastic changes in the driving environment at the entrance and exit of the tunnel, which can cause a driver to become psychologically stressed and deviate from the center of a lane, thus creating a greater ...

Tibial spino–meniscal clearance: A reproducible MRI‐derived measurement associated with hypermobile lateral meniscus [PDF]
Journal of Experimental OrthopaedicsPurpose To evaluate whether tibial spino–meniscal clearance (TSMC), a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐derived imaging measurement, is associated with arthroscopically confirmed hypermobile lateral meniscus (HML), and to assess the reproducibility of ...

Astrocytic K+ clearance during disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Glia, 2023 AbstractAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which patients lose motor functions due to progressive loss of motor neurons in the cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord. Whilst the loss of neurons is central to the disease, it is becoming clear that glia, specifically astrocytes, contribute to the onset and progression of ...

Airway Clearance Strategies and Secretion Management in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Respiratory Care, 2023 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare, neurodegenerative motor neuron disease that affects voluntary muscle movement. Often, difficulty in coughing, breathing, and swallowing are sequela associated with the condition, and the presence of bulbar muscle predominant weakness results in deleterious effects on airway clearance and secretion ...
