Four cases of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis are presented. In all four there was a two to three month delay between the onset of symptoms and appropriate diagnosis, referral and treatment. It is likely that simple stick testing of urine would have given a vital diagnostic clue and allowed earlier referral and treatment.

In interactive human-robot path-planning, a capability for expressing the path topology provides a natural mechanism for describing task requirements. We propose a topology-aware RRT* algorithm that can explore in parallel any given set of topologies. The topological information used by the algorithm can either be assigned by the human prior to the planning or be selected from the human in post...

Introduction: we report a 56-year-olds female with supraventricular arrhythmia due acute ischemic stroke without structural heart disease. Case Description: A patient presented with sudden onset of lethargy, right hemiplegia, and global aphasia. There was previous history of stroke 1 year ago presented with left hemiplegia that recovered completely during 10 days. There was no history of comorb...

Geometry Friends (GF) is a physics-based platform game, where players control one of two characters (a circle and a rectangle) through a series of both individual and cooperative levels. Each level is solved by retrieving a set of collectibles. This paper proposes an approach using Rapidly-exploring RandomTrees (RRTs) to find a solution for the individual levels of Geometry Friends. Solving a l...

Traditional path-planning involves (1) choosing start and goal points, (2) calculating a path, and (3) following that path. There are, however, many real world scenarios where an agent might need to change its goal and replan, which frequently includes expensively calculating a new path from scratch. We propose an adaptation to RRT* that locally rewires the RRT* tree as the robot moves and path...

We propose a motion planner for car-like robots based on the rapidly-exploring random tree (RRT) method. Our motion planner was designed especially for cars driving on roads. So, its goal is to build trajectories from the car’s initial state to the goal state in real time, which stay within the desired lane bounds and keep a safe distance from obstacles. For that, our motion planner combines se...
