Abstract Background Degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine decrease mobility and quality life elderly patients. Lumbar fusion surgery is primary method treating degenerative disorders; however, surgical stress response associated with major has been linked to pathophysiological changes in elderly, resulting undesirable postoperative morbidity, complications, pain, fatigue, extended convalescence. In present study, we aimed determine whether enhanced recovery after significantly improved...

Abstract Background Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program is an evidence-based improvement over non-ERAS traditional care. The aim of the present study was to analyze safety, feasibility, and efficacy ERAS in patients 70 years undergoing lumbar arthrodesis by comparison with Methods During January 2018 December 2018, enrolled received care, while implemented from 2019. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, surgical data postoperative parameters were collected all patients....

There currently no adequate assessment about importance individual components aim study was analyze effect compliance our and relative among undergoing surgery.A retrospective case-review conducted from March 2018 2020. for at department implemented. Overall found be 92.9%, this used as a cutoff dividing into...

Avoiding objects independently in indoor environments for individuals with severe visual impairment is one of the significant challenges daily life. This paper presents a wearable application to help visually impaired people quickly build situational awareness and traverse safely. The system utilizes Red, Green, Blue, Depth (RGB-D) camera an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) detect collision-free path real-time. A region proposal module presented decide where identify ground from 3D point...

To avoid serious diabetic complications, people with type 1 diabetes must keep their blood glucose levels (BGLs) as close to normal possible. Insulin dosages and carbohydrate consumption are important considerations in managing BGLs. Since the 1960s, models have been developed forecast based on history of BGLs, insulin dosages, intake, other physiological lifestyle factors. Such predictions can be used alert impending unsafe BGLs or control flow an artificial pancreas. In past work, we...

Oxidative stress has been recognised as an important mediator of apoptosis in lens epithelial cells. It also plays role the pathogenesis cataracts. is reported that (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), most abundant component green tea, exhibits potent antioxidant activity against oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate protective effect EGCG Ultraviolet B (UVB) induced apoptotic death and underlying mechanism human cells (HLECs).HLECs were exposed various concentrations under UVB...

Abstract Purpose To compare primary intra‐ocular lens ( IOL ) implantation with use of press‐on spherical for aphakia correction following unilateral infantile cataract removal. Methods Sixty infants a underwent surgery and were randomly assigned to the (A group) or no group (B group). Residual refractive error was corrected spectacles in A used treat B group. Grating visual acuity VA measured patients followed up 1 year. Results LogMAR operated eyes both groups significantly better year...

In present study, we aimed determine whether enhanced recovery after (ERAS)...

Abstract Background The burden of lumbar degenerative diseases (LDD) has increased substantially with the unprecedented aging population. Identifying elderly patients high risk postoperative adverse events (AEs) and establishing individualized perioperative management is critical to mitigate added costs optimize cost-effectiveness healthcare system. We aimed develop a predictive tool for AEs in transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF), utilizing multivariate logistic regression, single...

Autonomous driving systems have a rich and diverse set of sensors collect tremendous amount data during their operations. This has significant implications for individual privacy induces new type potential risks - collateral risks. It is important the public developer community to be aware risk posed by current autonomous software systems. We performed analysis Apollo project, an open-source system. applied source code-based auditing techniques tailored this particular problem produced...

Indoor navigation is a hard problem for those with visual impairment or blindness. This paper presents real-time camera-based indoor application the blind and visually impaired in known environments. Contrary to other systems similar purposes, our system executes all computation locally on mobile devices does not need any infrastructure-based sensor signal support. The use of divided into two stages: an offline stage, which sighted person helps landmark identification route planning, online...

Abstract Background: Currently, ERAS for spinal surgery field is still in its beginnings, the major protocol lessons learned from other surgical specialties and lack of program elderly patients (>70 years old). Geriatric has own special characteristics resulting more harmed by stress. The enhanced recovery after (ERAS) are designed to improving can result substantial benefits both clinical outcomes cost-effectiveness. In present study, we aimed determine whether significantly improved...

Abstract Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program is an evidence-based improvement over none-ERAS traditional care.

Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, surgical data postoperative parameters were collected all patients....

Objective: To summarize related complications and treatment after Foldable Capsular Vitreous Body (FCVB) implantation. Methods: This is a retrospective case study. A analysis was conducted on 37 patients (37 eyes) implanted with FCVB at the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Shandong University Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2019 to May 2023. Reasons for operation folding artificial vitreous balloon implantation:27 eyes (73.0%) during second stage oil extraction suture eyeball rupture...

Objective To observe the role of Avastin in treatment neovascular glaucoma.Methods Sixteen cases (17eyes) with glaucoma who still had part vision received intravitreal injection Avastin.The changes neovascularization were observed.After 2-3 days,different treatments used according to different conditions.Two (3eyes) pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP),and others operated as follows: compound trabeculectomy (11cases,11eyes),phacoemulsification and (1case,1eye),glaucoma valve implantation...

The black-box nature of machine learning models limits their use in case-critical applications, raising faithful and ethical concerns that lead to trust crises. One possible way mitigate this issue is understand how a (mispredicted) decision carved out from the boundary. This paper presents human-in-the-loop approach explain using verbatim neighborhood manifestation. Contrary most current eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) systems, which provide hit-or-miss approximate explanations,...
