Research in machine learning, mobile robotics, and autonomous driving is accelerated by the availability of high quality annotated data. To this end, we release Audi Autonomous Driving Dataset (A2D2). Our dataset consists simultaneously recorded images 3D point clouds, together with bounding boxes, semantic segmentation, instance data extracted from automotive bus. sensor suite six cameras five LiDAR units, providing full 360 degree coverage. The time synchronized mutually registered....
Pneumonia due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is associated with poor outcomes and frequently merits empirical antibiotic consideration despite its relatively low incidence. Nasal colonization MRSA clinical infection can be reliably detected using the nasal swab PCR assay. In this study, we evaluated performance of in predicting pneumonia. A retrospective cohort study was performed a tertiary care center from January 2009 July 2011. All patients confirmed pneumonia who...
To evaluate the association between timing of hip fracture surgery with postoperative length stay and outcomes.Retrospective review using American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.National inquiry database incorporating 140 academic private medical centers.Seventeen thousand four hundred fifty-nine patients who underwent for a 2006 2013 were identified from database.Surgical management fractures was performed at discretion participating...
Correction of adult spinal deformity (ASD) through minimally invasive techniques is a challenging endeavor and has typically been reserved for experienced surgeons. This publication aims to be the first high-resolution technique guide demonstrate reproducible ASD correction utilizing circumferential surgery (cMIS) without an osteotomy. The Segmental Interbody, Muscle-Preserving, Ligamentotaxis-Enabled Reduction (SIMPLER) novel ligamentotaxis-based scoliosis that represents paradigm shift...
Objectives: Low serum albumin levels (hypoalbuminemia) have classically been used to identify malnutrition. The effect of increasing severity malnutrition on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery has not well delineated a large scale. Design: Retrospective. Setting: Multicenter. Patient/Participants: A total 12,373 from 2006 2013 National Surgery Quality Improvement Project data were identified. Intervention: Patient demographic, comorbidity, and preoperative...
Study Design. Secondary analysis of a large administrative database. Objective. The objectives this study are to: 1) identify the incidence and cause 90-day readmissions following primary elective lumbar spine surgery, 2) offer insight into potential risk factors that contribute to these readmissions, 3) quantify cost associated with readmissions. Summary Background Data. As bundled-payment models for reimbursement surgical services become more popular in spine, focus is shifting toward...
Study Design. Retrospective cohort study. Objective. Evaluate the trends in management and inpatient outcomes patients with syndromic scoliosis undergoing spinal deformity correction. Summary of Background Data. Syndromic (SS) refers to that is most commonly associated systemic disease including Ehler Danhlos syndrome (EDS), Marfan (MF), Down (DS), Achondroplasia (AP), Prader-Willi (PWS). Limited data exist evaluating hospital SS Methods. The Kids’ Inpatient Database (KIDS) was queried from...
Debridement and implant retention (DAIR) has variable success as a treatment for acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), with generally poor outcomes reported in the literature
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of workplace violence involving radiographers in Hong Kong, evaluate underlying factors contributing incidents and their impact, suggest improvements management training.Frontline radiographers, from seven regional hospitals, who performed duties general radiography, were provided with a questionnaire. General radiography refers plain film X-ray services rooms (including out patient clinics), A&E portable on wards. Materials relating violence, for...
Study Design. A retrospective cohort study. Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect metabolic syndrome (MetS) on 30-day morbidity and mortality following elective lumbar spinal fusion. Summary Background Data. MetS is a variable combination hypertension, obesity, elevated fasting plasma glucose, dyslipidemia. has been associated with an increased risk postoperative in multiple surgical settings. To our knowledge, outcomes fusion not well studied. Methods. An analysis...
Study Design. Descriptive epidemiology study. Objective. The purpose of this study was to describe the cervical spine injuries in collegiate football players. Summary Background Data. incidence and etiology National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) players has not been well defined recent years. Methods. characteristics were identified utilizing NCAA-ISP database. Rates injury calculated as number divided by total athlete-exposures (AEs). AEs any student participation one...
An adequate characterization of 90-day readmissions after primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) on a national level remains to be undertaken. As bundled payment models become more prevalent, an improved understanding readmission data will help predict resource utilization and expenses.All adult patients who underwent elective RTSA in 2014 the National Readmission Database were included analysis. Two cohorts created based status. Multivariate analysis was then performed determine...
In recent years, Massively Parallel Processors have increasingly been used to manage and query vast amounts of data. Dramatic performance improvements are achieved through distributed execution queries across many nodes. Query optimization for such system is a challenging important problem.
Study Design. Descriptive epidemiology study. Objective. The purpose of this study was to describe the neck and cervical spine injuries in collegiate athletes over a 5-year period. Summary Background Data. incidence etiology National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has not been well defined recent years. Methods. characteristics were identified utilizing NCAA Injury Surveillance Program database. Rates injury calculated as number divided by total athlete-exposures (AEs). AEs any...
Review.A comparative overview of cost-effectiveness between minimally invasive versus and equivalent open spinal surgeries.A literature search using PubMed was performed to identify articles interest. To maximize the capture studies in our initial search, we combined variants terms "cost," "minimally invasive," "spine," "spinal fusion," "decompression" as either keywords or MeSH terms. PearlDiver database queried for surgery (MIS; endoscopic percutaneous) reimbursements Q3 2015 Q2 2018.In...
