The clinical and bacteriological efficacy of ciprofloxacin was studied in three groups composed 20 patients each, all whom were affected by chronic otitis media the acute stage. Ciprofloxacin randomly administered according to following schedules for 5 10 days: 250 mg orally twice a day (group A); 3 drops (250 micrograms/mL saline solution) locally B); both previous treatments C). A high percentage favorable response (100% 95%) eradication (95% 85%) observed B C. low (65% 40%) clinically...
An extended-reality (XR) platform for real-time monitoring of patients' health during surgical procedures is proposed. The proposed system provides access to a comprehensive set information, which are made promptly available the team in operating room (OR). In particular, XR supports medical staff by automatically acquiring patient's vitals from instrumentation and displaying them directly on an headset. Furthermore, information regarding patient clinical record also shown upon request....
Abstract Children affected by attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit several symptoms characterized inattention, impulsivity and motor that impair both school performance everyday life. The BRAVO (Beyond the tReatment of Attention deficit hyperactiVity disOrder) project dealt with development serious games based on extended reality help patients improve in self-control, respect for rules, attention concentration. In order to achieve logopaedic behavioural educational goals,...
Abstract Mixed Reality has emerged as a valuable tool for the promotion of cultural heritage. In this context, in particular, metaphor virtual portals allows visit monuments that are inaccessible or no longer exist their original form, integrating them into real environment. This paper presents development mobile application proposes reconstruction church Sant’Elia Ruggiano, southern province Lecce (Italy). By placing portal same place where entrance was located, user can cross threshold to...
• Clinical and bacteriological efficacy of topical ciprofloxacin hydrochloride was compared with that intramuscular gentamicin sulfate in two groups composed 30 patients each, all whom were affected by chronic otitis media the acute stage. Antibiotics randomly given for 5 to 10 days according following schedules: hydrochloride, four drops (250 mg/mL saline solution) administered locally twice a day, or sulfate, 80 mg intramuscularly day. We admitted study only adult stage perforation...
An electroencephalography (EEG)-based classification system of three levels fear heights is proposed. A virtual reality (VR) scenario representing a canyon was exploited to gradually expose the subjects inducing stimuli with increasing intensity. elevating platform allowed reach different height levels. Psychometric tools were employed initially assess severity and effectiveness induction. feasibility study conducted on eight who underwent experimental sessions. The EEG signals acquired...
A systematic review on machine-learning strategies for improving generalizability (cross-subjects and cross-sessions) electroencephalography (EEG) based in emotion classification was realized.In this context, the nonstationarity of EEG signals is a critical issue can lead to Dataset Shift problem.Several architectures methods have been proposed address issue, mainly transfer learning methods.418 papers were retrieved from Scopus, IEEE Xplore PubMed databases through search query focusing...
We report a case of early diagnosis iodide-induced fetal hypothyroidism at 22 weeks gestation, confirmed 29 by cordocentesis and successfully treated intra-amniotically. The ultrasonographic feature was the presence two echogenic masses in neck; polyhydramnios absent. Mild diagnosed based on serum obtained percutaneous umbilical blood sampling gestation. persistence spite maternal thyroid improvement second 35 single injection intra-amniotic levothyroxine (250 μg) performed. serial...
A highly-wearable single-channel Brain- Computer Interface (BCI) based on Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) and Augmented Really (AR) is proposed. The SSVEP elicitation provided by three AR head-mounted displays (HMD), namely Epson Moverio BT-350, Oculus Rift S, Microsoft HoloLens. Four flickering stimuli, ranging from 8 Hz to 15 Hz, are used. goal of the work carry out a performance comparison aforementioned devices, in terms stimuli visualization SSVEPs detection. To this...
Abstract Three levels of fear heights were detected in subjects with different severities acrophobia, based on the electroencephalographic (EEG) and electrocardiographic (ECG) signals. The study aims to demonstrate feasibility a data-fusion-based method for real-time assessment intensity integrate into adaptive Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy acrophobia. generalization performance classification tasks states is improved by exploiting both trait-based clustering Domain Adaptation methods....
A feasibility of Mindfulness-based emotional acceptance in combination with neurofeedback for improving emotion self-regulation is presented. This represents, to our knowledge, an unexplored approach the regulation literature. The study was performed using a low-cost wearable system designed perform electroencephalography (EEG) outside clinical setting. focused EEG feature beta-band Power Spectral Density along midline (FCz-CPz electrodes). Four subjects new practice mindfulness were...
Aims and Background When removal of osteoid osteoma is performed with open biopsy, the surgeon can be guided by radioactivity 99m Tc-MDP (methylene D- phosphonate) acquired a probe. Material methods We compared performance commercially available ZnCdTe probe (Neoprobe 2000) one-square-inch-field-of-view imaging (IP) on two patients undergoing biopsy for osteoma. Triphasic bone scintigraphy was before operation Neoprobe as well IP were used in operating room nuclear physicians. asked...
