The problem of supervised dimensionality reduction is to combine learning a good predictor with finding a predictive structure, such as a low-dimensional representation which captures the predictive ability of the features while ignoring the “noise”. Indeed, performing dimensionality reduction simultaneously with learning a predictor often results into a better predictive performance than perfo...

Closed reduction and internal fixation of trochanteric fractures is one of the commonest procedures in orthopaedic practice. With intracapsular fractures, internal rotation is the position of choice but in the trochanteric region this may cause malunion and impair walking. Evans (1951) suggested that some comminuted trochanteric fractures were best reduced by external rotation and Horn and Wang...

Fulminant fat embolism is well recognised although uncommon. This case report of a patient developing pulmonary oedema during surgery and anaesthesia and dying four hours later is rare, unusual and disturbing. Two similar but non-fatal cases, both young males, of intraoperative pulmonary oedema associated with closed fracture reductions, where fat embolism was implicated, have been previously r...

overlapped pubic symphysis is a rare but serious pelvic injury. this study presents a case of overlapped dislocation of the pubic symphysis. he was managed by closed reduction under general anesthesia. the patient had urethral transsection.at the latest follow up, seven months post injury; he was able to walk well without any pelvic pain. however, his urologic problems were continued. we also r...

Background: Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the second most common fracture in children. For most cases closed reduction and percutaneous crossed pinning is recommended. Those patients who had previously undergone an unsuccessful closed reduction trial need open reduction and pin fixation, but the best surgical approach is questionable. Most surgeons apply the technique of posterio...

Abstract The prevalence of mandibular fracture is relatively lower in the pediatric population compared to adults. The treatment of these fractures is more challenging for oral and maxillofacial surgeons due to the concerns regarding mandible growth and the presence of developing tooth buds. According to the literature, conventional methods (e.g., soft diets or closed red...
