Background: Local anesthetic resistance is a clinical entity characterized by inadequate analgesia despite technically well-performed procedures. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of this condition are not yet fully understood. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old Caucasian female presented to labor delivery for induction labor. On admission, the patient reported failure epidural anesthesia durin...

Deciding where to handle services and tasks, as well provisioning an adequate amount of computing resources for this handling, is a main challenge edge systems. Moreover, latency-sensitive constrain the type location devices that can provide needed resources. When available are scarce there possibility some resource allocation requests denied. In work, we propose VioLinn system tackle joint pro...

Interventional biopsy needles need to be accurately localized the target tissue during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) interventions. In this context, severe susceptibility artifacts affect visibility of structures in MR images depending on needle’s material composition. particular, standard for spinal cord made nickel-titanium alloys (NiTi) generate massive MRI. Consequently, does not allow p...

We investigate localized in-plane strains on the microscale, induced by arrays of biased surface electrodes patterned piezoelectrics. Particular focus is given to influence that adjacent electrode pairs have one another study impact densely packed arrays. present a series X-ray microdiffraction studies reveal spatially resolved micrometer-scale strain distribution. The maps with resolution high...

In recent years, size of VLSI circuits is dramatically grown and layout generation of current circuits has become a dominant task in design flow. Standard cell placement is an effective stage of physical design and quality of placement affects directly on the performance, power consumption and signal immunity of design. Placement can be performed analytically or heuristically. Analytical placer...

Background: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics after SBRT has not been well characterized. The objective of the current study is to analyze the rate of PSA decline and PSA nadir following hypofractonated SBRT in localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: From 2008...

This paper investigates finite sample properties of localized version of moment estimator including Local Generalized Method of Moments(LGMM) and conditional Euclidean Empirical Likelihood(CEEL) estimator. By comparing the performance of LGMM estimator and C-EEL estimator with various nonparametric techniques including the choice of bandwidth, choice of kernel and trimming strategies, this pape...
