A hydroxamic acid-methacrylated collagen conjugate for the modulation of inflammation-related MMP upregulation [PDF]
Journal of Materials Chemistry B 2018, 2018 Medical devices with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) modulating functionality are highly desirable to restore tissue homeostasis in critical inflammation states, such as chronic wounds, rotator cuff tears and cancer. The introduction of MMP-modulating functionality in such devices is typically achieved via loading of either rapidly-diffusing chelating ...

Long‐Term Follow‐up of Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy in the Intensive Care Unit
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.By comparing percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) in the intensive care unit (ICU) to the established baseline of surgical tracheostomy (ST) outside of the ICU, this study aimed to inform clinical practice guidelines and enhance the overall care of critically ill patients requiring tracheostomy interventions, with a particular focus on ...

Healthy versus pathological learning transferability in shoulder muscle MRI segmentation using deep convolutional encoder-decoders [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Automatic segmentation of pathological shoulder muscles in patients with musculo-skeletal diseases is a challenging task due to the huge variability in muscle shape, size, location, texture and injury. A reliable fully-automated segmentation method from magnetic resonance images could greatly help clinicians to plan therapeutic interventions and ...

New algorithm of cuff-tissue-artery system modeled as the space axisymmetric problem [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In this paper, mathematical models for cuff-tissue-artery system are developed and simplified into an axisymmetric problem in space. It is nonlinear properties of cuff and artery wall that make it difficult to solve elastic equations directly with the finite element method, hence a new iteration algorithm derived from principle of virtual work is ...

Prevalence of function‐limiting late effects in survivors of head and neck cancer
PM&R, EarlyView.Abstract Background Survivors of head and neck cancer (HNC) are commonly affected by multiple complex and interrelated long‐term and late effects that can adversely affect their function and quality of life. Objective To define the prevalence of neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, visceral, oncologic, and other late effects affecting function and quality ...

Sonography, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives To investigate the role of the inferior glenohumeral capsule (IGHC) ratio in diagnosing frozen shoulder (FS) by analysing two patient groups with shoulder dysfunction, one with and the other without clinical signs of FS. Methods This study was performed in volunteers with unilateral shoulder problems.

Preoperative Rotator Cuff Tear Prediction from Shoulder Radiographs using a Convolutional Block Attention Module-Integrated Neural Network [PDF]
arXivResearch question: We test whether a plane shoulder radiograph can be used together with deep learning methods to identify patients with rotator cuff tears as opposed to using an MRI in standard of care. Findings: By integrating convolutional block attention modules into a deep neural network, our model demonstrates high accuracy in detecting patients ...

Communication Requirements for Generating Correlated Random Variables [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Two familiar notions of correlation are rediscovered as extreme operating points for simulating a discrete memoryless channel, in which a channel output is generated based only on a description of the channel input. Wyner's "common information" coincides with the minimum description rate needed.

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.Abstract A 7‐year‐old, male, neutered cocker spaniel was referred for management of a chronic wound over the caudo‐lateral thigh. Dehiscence had occurred shortly after an excisional biopsy of a cutaneous mast‐cell tumour due to excessive tension. A wound bed of chronic granulation tissue, 12 × 6 cm, was present with adherent margins.
