The prone ureteroscopic technique for managing large stone burdens.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the standard treatment for patients with large stone burdens, but can be associated with significant complications. Flexible ureteroscopy is an alternative approach that is less invasive, but often requires multiple procedures. Typically, many factors play a role in the decision to perform PCNL or ureteroscopy. The challenge is that it is difficult to pred...
متن کاملBalancing against Threats with Moral Hazard
In this paper we take a new approach to the study of alliances. Since at least 1648, an important group of alliances have involved one country pledging to the other some amount of aid in times of war. Taking a view of alliances as a form of decentralized insurance arrangements that indemnify targets against the cost of wars with potential aggressors, we develop a theory that explains why partic...
متن کاملAcceleration feedback improves balancing against reflex delay.
A model for human postural balance is considered in which the time-delayed feedback depends on position, velocity and acceleration (proportional-derivative-acceleration (PDA) feedback). It is shown that a PDA controller is equivalent to a predictive controller, in which the prediction is based on the most recent information of the state, but the control input is not involved into the prediction...
متن کاملAntibiotic effectiveness: balancing conservation against innovation.
Antibiotic effectiveness is a natural societal resource that is diminished by antibiotic use. As with other such assets, keeping it available requires both conservation and innovation. Conservation encompasses making the best use of current antibiotic effectiveness by reducing demand through vaccination, infection control, diagnostics, public education, incentives for clinicians to prescribe fe...
متن کاملActive Balancing Reflexes for Small Humanoid Robots
To be practical, humanoid robots must be able to manoeuvre over a variety of flat and uneven terrains, at different speeds and with varying gaits and motions. This paper describes three balancing-reflex algorithms (threshold control, PID control, and hybrid control) that were implemented on a real 8 DOF robot equipped with only an accelerometer sensor to study the capabilities and limitations o...
