Genital inflammation increases HIV susceptibility and is associated with the density of pro-inflammatory anaerobes in vagina coronal sulcus. The penile urethra a critical site acquisition, although correlates urethral acquisition are largely unknown. While Streptococcus mitis consistent component flora, presence Gardnerella vaginalis has been linked prior penile-vaginal sex inflammation. Here, we use flow cytometry-based bacterial assay to quantify IgA IgG that bind G. S. cross-sectional...
"Maximal medical therapy" is the standard of care for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) treatment before recommendation surgery. However, this therapy not consistent. Therefore, as a first step in determining role disparate "maximal medical" treatments CRS, American Rhinologic Society (ARS) members were surveyed.A survey was mailed to all nonresident ARS (n=723). Focusing on time period surgical intervention considered CRS patients, assessed types therapies, frequency use, details antibiotic and...
In the development of telemanipulated surgical robots, a class continuum robots known as concentric tube has drawn particular interest for clinical applications in which space is major limitation. One such application transnasal surgery, used to access sites sinuses and at skull base. Current techniques performing these procedures require surgeons maneuver multiple rigid tools through narrow confines nasal passages, leaving them with limited dexterity site. this article, we present complete...
Consider the following scenario: a human guides multiple mobile manipulators to grasp common payload. For subsequent high-performance autonomous manipulation of payload by manipulator team, or for collaborative with human, robots should be able discover where other are attached payload, as well payload's mass and inertial properties. In this paper, we describe method autonomously information. The cooperatively manipulate twist, twist derivative, wrench data at their frames used estimate...
This study was done to characterize parameters associated with semen human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) viral load (VL) variability in HIV-infected, therapy-naive men.Paired blood and samples were collected from 30 men who have sex men, 13 participants observed longitudinally for up 1 year. Human RNA, bacterial by 16S herpesvirus (Epstein-Barr cytomegalovirus [CMV]) shedding, cytokines/chemokines quantified, T-cell subsets assessed multiparameter flow cytometry.Semen...
Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder affecting 65 million people globally [1]. Anti-epileptic medications fail to provide effective seizure control for 30% of patients, placing them at 7–17% risk Sudden Unexplained Death in and recurrent seizures. Surgical resection the focus potentially curative treatment patients with seizures that electrophysiologically correlate focal lesion. For these surgical can result 60–70% seizure-freedom rates [2]. However, open carries cognitive...
Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is the deadliest form of stroke and occurs when blood, leaked from a ruptured vessel pools in brain forming pool semi-coagulated blood called hematoma. 1 50 people will have an ICH their lifetime [1] 30-day mortality rate 43% with half deaths occurring acute phase, which motivates need for safe rapid treatment. However, literature reviews show no significant benefit surgical removal vs. “watchful waiting”, despite potential value decompressing brain. It has...
Human-swarm interaction is facilitated by a low-dimensional encoding of the swarm formation, independent (possibly large) number robots. We propose using image moments to encode two-dimensional formations Each robot knows its pose and desired formation moments, simultaneously estimates current entire while controlling motion better achieve group moments. The estimator distributed optimization, requiring no centralized processing, self-healing, meaning that process robust initialization...

His D-dimer was negative. non-contrast CT scan the large retrosternal goitre causing compression, further investigation contrast-enhanced neck an incidental finding pulmonary embolus (PE). The full extent PE determined through performing...
Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) is emerging as a new technique for functional brain imaging, primarily due to its capabilities in label-free hemodynamic imaging. Despite potential, the transcranial application of PACT has encountered hurdles, such acoustic attenuations and distortions by skull limited light penetration through skull. To overcome these challenges, we have engineered system that features densely packed hemispherical ultrasonic transducer array with 3072 channels,...
