A cooperative vehicle collision warning system is made possible by the progress in advanced positioning systems and wireless communication technology. We report our work developing a intersection that not limited requirement of line-of-sight. The novel elements include use dynamic ad hoc network for peer-to-peer data sharing, new algorithm, flexible extensible software architecture design. very same also capable other scenarios such as frontal rear-end. Further, tunable parameters algorithm...
Youth in the juvenile correctional system are a high-risk population who, many cases, have unmet physical, developmental, and mental health needs. Multiple studies found that some of these issues occur at higher rates than general adolescent population. Although youth justice interfaced with care providers their community on regular basis, others had inconsistent or nonexistent care. The needs commonly identified when they admitted to custodial facility. Pediatricians other play an important...
Prevalence rates of many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are highest among adolescents. If nonviral STIs detected early, they can be treated, transmission to others eliminated, and sequelae averted. The US Preventive Services Task Force the Centers for Disease Control Prevention have published chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis screening guidelines that recommend those at risk on basis epidemiologic clinical outcomes data. This policy statement specifically focuses these curable, reviews...
Adolescent obesity has dramatically increased in recent decades, and along with that so have other medical comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), pseudotumor cerebri. Obesity related comorbidites may be contraindications to hormonal contraception, making contraception counseling of morbidly obese adolescents more challenging. Obese adolescent females seeking bariatric surgery need effective the...
This study investigated the effects of age, hearing loss, and cochlear implantation on mothers' speech to infants children. We recorded normal‐hearing (NH) mothers speaking their children as they typically would do at home an adult experimenter. Nine (10–37 months) were hearing‐impaired had used a implant (CI) for 3 18 months. Eighteen NH matched either by chronological age or experience (3–18 CI Prosodic characteristics such fundamental frequency, utterance duration, pause duration measured...
Abstract Liquid biopsy plays an increasingly influential role in clinical decision making by supporting earlier cancer detection, diagnosis, patient stratification, and treatment monitoring. The most common approaches utilize cell-free circulating tumor DNA or cells the peripheral blood of patients. However, these methods are impeded miniscule analyte abundance leading to unfavorable signal noise ratios. As a promising alternative, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as complementary...
Abstract Liquid biopsies based on circulating tumor-derived cell-free DNA (ctDNA) have become an increasingly common tool for minimally invasive diagnostic testing. However, as ctDNA does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier, tests identifying and classifying brain tumors are of limited utility. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which carry heterogeneous protein, nucleic acid, metabolite cargos derived from various cell types including cancer cells, attractive alternative to that can...
Robust and reliable detection of overtaking vehicles is an important component any on-board driver assistance system. Optical flow, with the abundant motion information present in image sequences, has been studied extensively for vehicle detection. However, using dense optical ?ow sensitive to shocks vibrations mobile camera; outliers caused by illumination changes; high computational complexity. To improve performance reduce complexity, we propose efficient robust methodology based on...
Abstract Introduction The experiences of patients with mild‐to‐moderate haemophilia differ from those severe or without a bleeding disorder and include challenging diagnosis variability in symptoms treatment needs. In addition, there is significant lack data on haemophilia, many unmet needs remain to be identified addressed this group patients. Methods Challenges for these patients, including women were during roundtable meeting attended by US‐based experts healthcare professionals (e.g.,...
The purpose of this addendum is to update pediatricians and other professionals on recent research data regarding adolescent sexuality, contraceptive use, childbearing since publication the original 2005 clinical report, "Adolescent Pregnancy: Current Trends Issues."1 There has been a trend decreasing sexual activity teen births pregnancies 1991, except between years 2007, when there was 5% increase in birth rates. Currently, rates United States are at record low secondary increased use...
