We describe the Pan-STARRS Moving Object Processing System (MOPS), a modern software package that produces automatic asteroid discoveries and identifications from catalogs of transient detections next-generation astronomical survey telescopes. MOPS achieves > 99.5% efficiency in producing orbits synthetic but realistic population asteroids whose measurements were simulated for Pan-STARRS4-class telescope. Additionally, using non-physical grid population, we demonstrate can detect populations...
Abstract— Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disorder, with an overall prevalence of at least 1:500 in adult population although only a fraction affected patients come to clinical recognition. It also cause sudden death young adults and major morbidity caused by chronic heart failure symptoms. However, more than half century since original description disease, there no currently approved therapy for treatment HCM, date have been 5 randomized studies...
Both myectomy and alcohol septal ablation (ASA) can substantially reduce left ventricular (LV) outflow obstruction, relieve symptoms, improve outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). It is unclear whether reduction decreases atrial (LA) size improves diastolic function. The aim of this study was to analyze the consequences on LA function a cohort patients with HCM.Forty (mean age: 50 ± 14, male sex 64%) HCM who underwent (myectomy or ablation) were studied. Retrospective analyses...
It is well known that liver disease has an adverse effect on postoperative outcomes. However, what still unknown how to appropriately risk stratify this patient population based the degree of failure. Because data are limited, specifically in general surgery practice, we analyzed model end-stage (MELD) terms predicting complications after one three operations: inguinal hernia repair (IHR), umbilical (UHR), and colon resection (CRXN). National Surgical Quality Improvement Program 17,812 total...
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in the heart failure population is a standard of care both American and European clinics, although mode typically differs. The purpose present study was to compare prognostic characteristics peak oxygen consumption (VO2) minute ventilation-carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2) slope between two independent groups. One hundred subjects underwent maximal CPET using bicycle ergometry at San Paolo Hospital Milan, Italy (SPH) 105 treadmill Virginia...
A consensus on the optimal surgical approach for repair of a paraesophageal hernia has not been reached. The aim this study was to examine outcomes open and laparoscopic repairs (PHR), both with without mesh. review National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database from 2007 2011 conducted. Patients who underwent an or PHR were included. primary outcome 30-day mortality. Secondary included infections, respiratory cardiac complications, intraoperative perioperative transfusions,...
Objectives This study sought to examine the predictive value of variables obtained from serial maximal exercise testing, echocardiography, and ejection fraction in patients referred as potential heart transplant candidates. Background Variables such peak VO2, left ventricular dimensions, fraction, hemodynamic measurements are known predict prognosis failure, but there few data on impact these subsequent mortality. Methods Results Two hundred sixty-three ambulatory with severe failure...
