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 ...

The use of viscoelastic haemostatic assays in non-cardiac surgical settings. a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background: Thrombelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) are viscoelastic haemostatic assays (VHA) which exploit the elastic properties of clotting blood.

An Off‐the‐Shelf Artificial Proregenerative Macrophage for Pressure Ulcer Treatment
Artificial macrophages (artM) by encapsulating M2 lysates into biodegradable PLGA microspheres and coated with macrophage membrane, are engineered as new therapeutics against skin pressure ulcer. In mouse models, the artM exhibited robust tissue repair through cell recruitment and microenvironment modulation, showing great therapeutic potential for ...

Abstract Background Thrombocytosis is a presenting and progressive clinical feature found in multiple disease states. It is characterized by high platelet (PLT) counts (>450 × 109/L) and can lead to thrombohemorrhagic events. Thrombocytapheresis or platelet depletion (PLTD) can be performed in acutely symptomatic patients suffering from thrombocytosis ...

Permeability and conductivity of platelet-reinforced membranes and composites [PDF]
We present large scale simulations of the diffusion constant $D$ of a random composite consisting of aligned platelets with aspect ratio $a/b>>1$ in a matrix (with diffusion constant $D_0$) and find that $D/D_0 = 1/(1+ c_1 x + c_2 x^2)$, where $x= a v_f/b$ and $v_f$ is the platelet volume fraction.

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 ...

Effects of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers on blood coagulation. [PDF]
For many decades, Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been central in the development of resuscitation agents that might provide oxygen delivery in addition to simple volume expansion.

A highly efficient extracorporeal device for treating bacteremia is developed by integrating microfluidic bacterial margination and engineered cell‐depleted thrombi strategically constructed in the device. The rodent models, severely infected with antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, recover from bacteremia after two subsequent extracorporeal blood ...

A 66‐year‐old male had urinary tract infection by Escherichia coli, followed by septic shock and DIC rapidly just two days after the onset. He was treated and recovered in three weeks without any massive bleeding at a remote‐island‐hospital. Gram‐staining and immediate insertion of CV are essential techniques to care severe infections even in remote ...

Platelet transfusion in patients with liver cirrhosis cross-talk with neutrophil: Prospective study
Introduction: Immune dysfunction and thrombocytopenia are common features in liver cirrhosis. Platelet transfusion is the most widely used therapeutic approach for thrombocytopenia when indicated.
