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 ...

Factors influencing transfusion-associated HLA sensitization in patients bridged to heart transplantation using ventricular assist device. [PDF]
BackgroundBridging heart failure patients with mechanical ventricular assist devices (VAD) enables access to transplantation. However, VAD is associated with increased risk for anti-HLA antibodies associated with rejection of subsequent allografts ...

Expert Perspectives on a Clinical Challenge: Hematologic Malignancies and Vasculitis
Systemic vasculitis describes a collection of rare diseases each caused by inflammation of blood vessel walls that can cause severe systemic complications [[3, 4]](#ref‐0003). The pattern of vascular inflammation and resultant damage is frequently variable and may be mimicked, or directly triggered, by infection or malignancy.

TransFusion: Generating Long, High Fidelity Time Series using Diffusion Models with Transformers [PDF]
The generation of high-quality, long-sequenced time-series data is essential due to its wide range of applications. In the past, standalone Recurrent and Convolutional Neural Network-based Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) were used to synthesize time-series data. However, they are inadequate for generating long sequences of time-series data due to

Blood loss in primary total knee arthroplasty-body temperature is not a significant risk factor-a prospective, consecutive, observational cohort study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Hypothermia related to anaesthesia and operating theatre environment is associated with increased blood loss in a number of surgical disciplines, including total hip arthroplasty.

Is transfusion in coronary artery surgery a predictor or a cause of reduced long-term survival? [PDF]
Background Transfusion is common after coronary bypass surgery. Transfused patients present with higher operative risk and an increased hazard ratio for curtailed long-term survival. There is debate as to whether transfusion itself may further exacerbate

ABSTRACT Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is standard following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Preloading is the practice of administering both aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor before PCI. DAPT preloading is common practice, however clinical trial evidence demonstrating benefit is lacking.

Transfusion of a universal platelet product in hematologic patients for emergency
Objective To explore the clinical application of a universal platelet product for emergency, which was prepared by suspending O-type apheresis platelet concentrate in AB-type fresh frozen plasma, so as to improve the platelet support ability in emergency

CYP2C19 loss‐of‐function (LOF) alleles decrease the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The impact of genotype in patients undergoing PCI for stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) in real‐world populations is less clear.

A Wigner-Seitz model of charged lamellar colloidal dispersions [PDF]
A concentrated suspension of lamellar colloidal particles (e. g. clay) is modelled by considering a single, uniformly charged, finite platelet confined with co- and counterions to a Wigner-Seitz (WS) cell. The system is treated within Poisson-Boltzmann theory, with appropriate boundary conditions on the surface of the WS cell, supposed to account for ...
