If the objective of a Continuous Automatic Speech Understanding system is not a speech-to-text translation, words are not strictly needed, and then the use of alternative lexical units (LUs) will bring us a new degree of freedom to improve the system performance. Consequently, we experimentally explore some methods to automatically extract a set of LUs from a Spanish training corpus and verify ...

The end-stage renal disease is characterized by a profound impairment in the regulation of body fluid distribution, and volume assessment in hemodialysis is one of the challenging goals for the nephrologist. To determine a state of euvolemia, different validated techniques have been employed and among them lung ultrasonography (LUS) has recently attracted growing attention on account of its cap...

In industry and academia, researchers have given more and more attention to Cognitive Radio (CR). The key idea of CR is to make it possible for a wireless system to find the vacant spectrum and transfer data without interfering with licensed users (LUs). Then, OFDM is proposed as a candidate signaling technology for such applications. However, the sidelobe interference of subcarriers has become...

Many attempts to integrate FrameNet in NLP systems have so far failed because of its limited coverage. In this work, we investigate the applicability of data-driven models on the task of lexical unit (LU) induction. Formally, we define LU induction as the task of assigning a LU not present in the FrameNet database (unknown LU) to its evoked frame(s). As the number of frames is considerably high...

Introduction: Bladder flap hematoma (BFH) is a rare complication of cesarean section (CS). BFH appears between the bladder and lower uterine segment (LUS) when visceral peritoneal closed during traditional CS techniques decreased contractions. Surgery treatment choice for management closure in decrease contractions that cause BFH.Case Presentation: A 35-year-old G3P2A0 underwent delivery due to...

Recent studies have provided support for the conclusion of several early psychologists that con­ ventional names or symbols can be verbally identified faster than the simple objects or features they desig­ nate. Since the naming responses are identical for both types of identifications, investigators have generally attempted to account for the latency difference in terms of differences in the s...

Background Atelectasis and poorly ventilated lung areas are negative consequences of general anesthesia observed in adult as well as in children. The reported incidence of this anesthesia-induced atelectasis in children is high and comes from 83 % to almost 100 %. The diagnosis of this entity is difficult to do at the bedside; they are commonly small and mostly invisible to standard chest X-ray...

BackgroundPoint-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) examination is increasingly utilized in Internal Medicine. To improve the standardization of LUS education and clinical use, explicit minimal criteria for defining what an acceptable clinically useful image are needed.MethodsA 97-item online survey potential common uses Medicine was developed sent to 10 international point-of-care experts. Their opi...

Abstract Over the last decades, especially during COVID-19 pandemic period, lung ultrasound (LUS) gained interest due to multiple advantages: radiation-free, repeatable, cost-effective, portable devices with a bedside approach. These advantages can help clinicians in triage, positive diagnostic, stratification of disease forms according severity and prognosis, evaluation mechanically ventilated...
