Why Did You Apply in Orthopaedic Surgery?

Grad-CAM: Why did you say that?

We propose a technique for making Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based models more transparent by visualizing input regions that are ‘important’ for predictions – producing visual explanations. Our approach, called Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM), uses class-specific gradient information to localize important regions. These localizations are combined with existing pixe...

Intestinal Surgery; Why did it leak?

Wound dehiscence of an intestinal anastomosis often leads to generalized bacterial peritonitis and subsequent death. Therefore, factors which negatively affect visceral healing are potentially of great clinical significance to the surgeon. Factors that cause intestinal anastomoses to leak include etiology of obstruction, failure to adequately identify ischemic tissue, improper suturing or stapl...

Why did you not use both internal thoracic arteries?

That is the question every cardiologist should ask if the patient he or she has referred for primary surgical coronary revascularization returns from the operating room with a single internal thoracic artery graft. There is a substantial body of evidence demonstrating that the majority of coronary bypass patients benefit more when coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is performed with bo...

A Novel Method to Apply Osteogenic Potential of Adipose Derived Stem Cells in Orthopaedic Surgery

Tissue engineering and cell therapies are currently being leveraged to find improved treatment strategies in orthopaedics. Adipose stem cells have been considered for their potential to differentiate into different cell lineages. The potential of adipose stem cells to restore chondral, bone and tendon tissue has been demonstrated in vivo and in vitro studies. Recently their capacity to restore ...
