Objectives: To determine whether volumetric bladder ultrasound (VBUS) determinations improve the rate of successful pediatric catheterizations and caregiver satisfaction. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted at an urban academic emergency department. Patients younger than 36 months requiring diagnostic urine samples were into one two groups: VBUS or conventional catheterization (CC). excluded if they critically ill had genitourinary abnormalities. postponed for 30 minutes...
Assessment of lymphatic status via sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is an integral and crucial part melanoma surgical oncology. The most common technique for mapping preoperative planar scintigraphy injected gamma-emitting tracer followed by intraoperative localization using a non-imaging gamma probe with auditory feedback. In recent years, visualization SLNs in 3D has become possible coupling the to external system capable tracking its location orientation as it read out, thereby enabling...
Abstract This paper presents an approach to enable interoperability of the research data management system XNAT by implementation HL7 standards framework Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). The FHIR is realized as plugin (Source code: https://github.com/somnonetz/xnat-fhir-plugin ), that allows easy adoption in arbitrary instances. demonstrated on patient exchange between a reference and XNAT.
Lymphangioplasty is a technique of reconstructive lymphatic surgery where subcutaneous neocollectors are created, using surgical threads, nanofibrillar collagen plastic tubes or autologous tissue flaps. The history and success rates these techniques outlined classification for lymphangioplasty proposed. use absorbable threads suggested modern attempts thread lymphangioplasties. results such should be compared with that implanted in order to evaluate whether the itself material used...

Neurosciencific research is increasingly based on image analysis methods. Large sets of imaging data are processed using complex tools. While today magnetic resonance (MRI) widely used for both functional and anatomical the human brain, new modalities beginning to prove their capabilities neurological research. Among them, optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows noninvasive visualization structures a micrometer scale. Becoming standard diagnostic tool in ophthalmology, it rising interest...
Neuroscientific research is increasingly based on image analysis methods. Among them, optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows for non-invasive visualisation of anatomical structures a micrometer scale. The platform presented in this paper designed automatic quality assessment retinal OCTs. It extends the management XNAT by services to calculate and store measures. also extensible regarding new measure algorithms, allowing developer upload, compile test code system's architecture....
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are used for automatic cancer detection in pathological images. These data-driven experiments difficult to reproduce, because the CNNs may require CUDA-enabled Nvidia GPUs acceleration and training is often performed on a large dataset stored researcher's computer, inaccessible others. We introduce RED file format reproducible experiment description, where executable programs packaged referenced as Docker container Data inputs outputs described network...
Replication of computational experiments is essential for verifiable research. However, it requires a comprehensive and unambiguous description all employed digital artifacts, in particular data, code the environment. Recently, FAIR Guiding Principles have been published to support reproducible In this paper, cloud-based biomedical collaboration platform has evaluated regarding principles extended reproducibility. The FAICE suite presented, encompassing tools thoroughly describe reproduce...
Applications for data analysis of biomedical are complex programs and often consist multiple components. Re-usage existing solutions from external code repositories or program libraries is common in algorithm development. To ease reproducibility as well transfer algorithms required components into distributed infrastructures Linux containers increasingly used those environments, that at least partly connected to the internet. However concerns about untrusted application remain high interest...
Rural communities continue to face a shortage of emergency physicians despite the growing number medicine (EM) residencies. In rural areas, tend be older, male, and White, are less likely have completed EM residency training or board certification. There is also currently higher rate leaving clinical practice than in urban departments (ED). this cross-sectional study we sought identify work environments graduates program, strengths weaknesses such program. We conducted survey among 29...
Nontraumatic abdominal apoplexy, which is the occurrence of hemorrhage into peritoneal cavity, uncommon in pediatric literature. Adult case reports nontraumatic apoplexy include visceral artery aneurysms from aorta, splenic, celiac, hepatic, gastric, and gastroepiploic arteries as well gynecologic pathology. We identified 2 spontaneous due to injury short gastric adult patients with histories vomiting after alcohol consumption. This first reported a patient.
Testing software can be particularly challenging for a small or mid-size firm interested in commercially distributing their to wide variety of users. is clearly an important part any development life cycle (SDLC) because it provides method the developers verify and validate software. However, testing expensive time-consuming, creating strategy that ensures product 100% bug-free unrealistic impossible. This paper discusses methodologies used address one component by group (essentially...
Summary Applications for biomedical data processing often integrate external libraries and frameworks common algorithmic tasks. It typically reduces development time increases overall code quality. With the introduction of lightweight container‐based virtualization, bundling applications their required dependencies has become feasible, containers can be transferred executed in distributed environments. However, incorporation unreviewed poses a security threat as it might contain malicious...
