Acute Coronary Syndrome

Performance metrics for guidance active constraints in surgical robotics.

Active constraint (AC)/virtual fixture (VF) is among the most popular approaches towards the shared execution of subtasks by the surgeon and robotic systems. As more possibilities appear for the implementation of ACs in surgical scenarios, the need to introduce methods that guarantee a safe and intuitive user-interaction increases. The presence of the human in the loop adds a layer of interactivit...

Using deep learning and Google Street View to estimate the demographic makeup of neighborhoods across the United States.

The United States spends more than $250 million each year on the American Community Survey (ACS), a labor-intensive door-to-door study that measures statistics relating to race, gender, education, occupation, unemployment, and other demographic factors. Although a comprehensive source of data, the lag between demographic changes and their appearance in the ACS can exceed several years. As digital ...

Prognostic value of postoperative high-sensitivity troponin T in patients with different stages of kidney disease undergoing noncardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that postoperative troponin release is a strong and independent predictor of short-term mortality. However, eva...
