The pathophysiology of alcohol withdrawal is complex and still not fully understood in spite of intensive research. The variety of different theories accounts for the fact that at least 150 different drugs and drug combinations have been reported to be useful in the treatment of the alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS; Walinder and Svenson, 1989). Benzodiazepines are the most commonly used substan...

BACKGROUND When encountering a difficult airway with an Airway Scope (AWS) a bougie can be inserted into the endotracheal tube in the AWS channel. The angulated tip of the bougie can be guided toward the glottis by rotating it. We tested the ease of rotating bougies (Venn reusable, Boussignac, Portex single-use, and Frova) in an endotracheal tube when placed in the AWS channel. METHODS Bench ...

Background: Alcohol abuse is common in the patients with head and neck cancer. Sudden postoperative alcohol cessation can cause withdrawal syndrome (AWS). So far, there are no studies evaluating safety efficacy of dexmedetomidine (DEX) lorazepam on AWS treatment.

Software developers are faced with the issue of either adapting their programming model to the execution model (e.g. cloud platforms) or finding appropriate tools to adapt the model and code automatically. A recent execution model which would benefit from automated enablement is Function-as-a-Service. Automating this process requires a pipeline which includes steps for code analysis, transforma...

Abstract In this article, we focus on the attribution of moral responsibility for actions autonomous weapons systems (AWS). To do so, suggest that gap can be closed if human agents take meaningful AWS. This is a attributed to individuals in justified and fair way which accepted by as an assessment their own character. We argue that, given unpredictability AWS, responsibly only discharged who ar...

• The project presented several challenges: understanding DeepMask, learning to program in Torch, and the sheer amount of compute power these models require (3 AWS GPU instances were used for a total of $1000 AWS credit granted by Amazon for this project) • Overall I consider the project successful, since DeepCropV1 provided interesting results as to the limitations of DeepMask and DeepCropV2 w...
