Abstract Introduction Burn injuries represent a significant global health challenge, with mortality prediction being critical component that can dictate patient care and resource allocation. This study aims to apply ensemble machine learning models predict burn using large database captures burns from diverse settings. We identified the most important predictors of mortality. Methods The dataset comprised records WHO Global Registry its inception. primary outcome interest was after injury....
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors are proposed for medical applications, especially shape sensing of continuum manipulators due to their numerous advantages over other types sensors. In this paper, we design, fabricate, and evaluate a novel FBG sensor assembly addressing challenges associated with integration manipulators. Experimental results the new demonstrated detection small radii curvatures (20 mm), high sensitivity (up 8 nm wavelength shift in each direction bend), calibration...
Tracking and controlling the shape of continuum dexterous manipulators (CDM) in constraint environments is a challenging task. The imposed constraints interaction with unknown obstacles may conform CDM's therefore demands for sensing methods which do not rely on direct line sight. To address these issues, we integrate novel Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) unit into CDM, reconstruct real-time, develop an optimization-based control algorithm using FBG tip position feedback. CDM designed...
Abstract Objectives This county‐level epidemiological study evaluated the travel distance to nearest otolaryngologist for continental US communities and identified socioeconomic differences between low‐ high‐access regions. Methods Geospatial analysis of publicly available 2015–2022 NPI records was combined with census data identify geospatial gaps in distribution. Moran's index clustering county an used as core metric differential access determination. Univariate logistic conducted counties...
To investigate the relationship between ergonomic positions and electromyographic muscle activity during otologic drilling.
Cardiac acoustic mapping remains a highly unexplored area, likely due in part to decline research into heart auscultation over the past several decades. However, because stethoscope an integral of clinical care, novel approaches improve accuracy and scope are now being explored. The current work introduces innovative design for based on microphone array embedded wearable vest. system incorporates customized front-end readout channel with discrete components paired analog digital converter...
The treatment of malaria is a global health challenge that stands to benefit from the widespread introduction vaccine for disease. A method has been developed create live organism using sporozoites (SPZ) parasite Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), which are concentrated in salivary glands infected mosquitoes. Current manual dissection methods obtain these PfSPZ not optimally efficient large-scale production. We propose an improved procedure and mechanical fixture increases rate mosquito helps...

In this study, we aim to create and validate a Finite Element (FE) model estimate the bone temperature after cement injection compare simulation results with experimental data in three key locations of proximal femur. Simulation suggest that maximum temperature-rise measured at surface is 10°C which occurs about 12 minutes injection. Temperature profiles during experiment showed an agreement those average error 1.73°C Although additional experiments are required further model, study...
Abstract Introduction Burn injuries to the genitals can lead devastating injury with lifelong sequela that impair function, aesthetics, and hygiene, directly impacting a patient’s quality of life. There is limited research investigating burn genitalia. This study aims characterize outcomes patients their genitals. Methods encounters were isolated from ABA Care Quality Platform between January 2008 December 2018. Cohorts separated based on age: adult pediatric. Descriptive statistics...
Abstract Introduction Burns to the head and neck impact a patient’s aesthetics in most direct way severe cases impair function quality of life. The purpose this study is compare outcomes between adult pediatric patients sustaining burns region. Methods Head burn encounters were isolated from ABA Burn Care Quality Platform January 2008 December 2018. Cohorts separated into two based on patient's age (≤14 years 15+ years). Descriptive statistics summarized patient demographics clinical...
Focal cortical dysplasia is a structural cause of drug-resistant epilepsy commonly identified in childhood. In rare cases, radiation-induced injury has led to dysplasia, also known as "focal neuronal gigantism."The authors present 53-year-old woman with recurrent status epilepticus events after she had radiation therapy and surgery for left frontal meningioma several years prior. Imaging revealed findings consistent necrosis possible recurrence. The patient's required escalating therapies...
AbstractContext Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) secondary to traumatic sports-related etiology potentially face loss of independence. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) assesses the amount assistance patients require and has shown sensitivity changes in patient functional status post injury.Objectives We aimed (1) examine long-term outcomes following SCI (SRSCI) using FIM scoring at time injury, one year, five years post-injury, (2) determine predictors independence five-year...
