Toward an application of automatic evaluation system for central facial palsy using two simple evaluation indices in emergency medicine

Abstract A stroke is a medical emergency and thus requires immediate treatment.Paramedics should accurately assess suspected stroke patients and promptly transport them to a hospital with stroke care facilities; however, current assessment procedures rely on subjective visual assessment.We aim to develop an automatic evaluation system for central f

System Failure Rate Calculation

The article deals with methodology of a system failure rate calculation that is based on the adoption of the condition l.t<<1.Assuming that the condition is 7RB satisfied, the serial-parallel system failure rate calculation is easier and the results are either the same or worse from a Fish view of system reliability evaluation.So the results

Arthroscopic-Assisted Management of Unstable Distal-Third Clavicle Fractures: Conoid Ligament Reconstruction and Fracture Cerclage With Sutures

Surgical treatment is usually indicated for the management of Neer type IIB fractures of the distal third of the clavicle.These unstable injuries have shown a rate of nonunion that oscillates around 30% to Amplifiers 45% when managed conservatively, and surgical strategies often require a second operation for implant removal.We describe an arthrosc
