Study Links Use of Face Masks to Improved Cardiovascular Outcomes Air pollution from traffic and industrial sources increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, especially in populations with underlying cardiovascular disease. Environmental interventions to reduce pollution would be ideal, but their implementation may be hampered in countries where emissions reductions are trumped by econo...

In this paper we introduce our life-size talking head robotic system, Mask-bot, developed to support human-robot communication research. The physical system consists of a semitransparent face mask, a portable LED projector with a fish-eye conversion lens, a pan-tilt unit and a mounting base. Mask-bot uses the mask as a screen for a talking head animation engine that is broadcast from the projec...

During the spread of COVID-I9 pandemic in early 2020, WHO organization advised all people world to wear face-mask limit COVID-19. Many facilities required that their employees face-mask. For safety facility, it was mandatory recognize identity individual wearing mask. Hence, face recognition masked individuals required. In this research, a novel technique is proposed based on mobile-net and Haa...

Partially occluded face detection is need, because although the technology of the Automated Teller Machines and face detection is increased, we cannot control the people who wear sunglasses or mask for the crime. To reject the occluded face, we first trained the features of the normal faces and the occluded faces that wear sunglasses or mask using Principal Component Analysis and Support Vector...

The use of the 'PEP' mask with forced expiratory coughing was compared with conventional physiotherapy over a one month period. No difference was shown in symptom scores, sputum production, or simple lung function tests. The mask was well accepted and allowed independent treatment by older patients.

To the Editor: Our thanks are due to Kheterpal et al. 1 for another valuable addition to our understanding of airway management during anesthesia. Their work suggests that provided we exclude the patients with obvious abnormalities, we will find that the incidence of the combination of difficult mask ventilation (DMV) and difficult laryngoscopy (DL) is infrequent but not rare (0.4%), and the ou...

Facial injuries due to bear mauling or run-over accidents cause severe disfigurement of face requiring extensive reconstruction. While managing these injuries, close association with the airway and shared airway with the surgeon are important concerns for the anaesthesiologists. And airway management in such patients becomes a challenge for them because bony injuries and soft tissue deformities...
