Integrated Image and Location Analysis for Wound Classification: A Deep Learning Approach [PDF]
The global burden of acute and chronic wounds presents a compelling case for enhancing wound classification methods, a vital step in diagnosing and determining optimal treatments. Recognizing this need, we introduce an innovative multi-modal network based on a deep convolutional neural network for categorizing wounds into four categories: diabetic ...

Volume staging for arteriovenous malformation SRS treatment using VMAT
Abstract Volume staging involves dividing the target volume into smaller parts and treating each part separately. In this study, the feasibility of volume‐staged stereotactic radiosurgery (VS‐SRS) on a linear accelerator using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and a frameless patient positioning system is investigated.

AR-Assisted Surgical Care via 5G networks for First Aid Responders [PDF]
Surgeons should play a central role in disaster planning and management due to the overwhelming number of bodily injuries that are typically involved during most forms of disaster. In fact, various types of surgical procedures are performed by emergency medical teams after sudden-onset disasters, such as soft tissue wounds, orthopaedic traumas ...

Speckle illumination SFDI for projector-free optical property mapping [PDF]
Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging can map tissue scattering and absorption properties over a wide field of view, making it useful for clinical applications such as wound assessment and surgical guidance. This technique has previously required the projection of fully-characterized illumination patterns.

Traumatic and surgical wounds [PDF]
Management of traumatic and surgical wounds has had a chequered history. For example, in 1346 at the Battle of Crecy, France, foot soldiers were issued with cobwebs to staunch haemorrhage caused by trauma. Two centuries later, the eminent surgeon Ambroise Pare (1510-1590) rejected boiling oil as a primary dressing after amputation, preferring a mixture

A redox-responsive hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel for chronic wound management [PDF]
Polymer-based hydrogels have been widely applied for chronic wound therapeutics, due to their well-acclaimed wound exudate management capability. At the same time, there is still an unmet clinical need for simple wound diagnostic tools to assist clinical decision-making at the point of care and deliver on the vision of patient-personalised wound ...
