A MISSED INJURY LEADING TO DELAYED DIAGNOSIS AND POSTOPERATIVE INFECTION OF AN UNSTABLE THORACIC SPINE FRACTURE - CASE REPORT OF A POTENTIALLY PREVENTABLE COMPLICATION

A missed injury leading to delayed diagnosis and postoperative infection of an unstable thoracic spine fracture - case report of a potentially preventable complication

Abstract Background Patients suffering from polytrauma often present with altered mental status and have varying levels of examinability.This makes evaluation difficult.Physicians are often required to rely on advanced imaging techniques to make prompt and accurate diagnoses.Occasionally, injury detection on advanced imaging studies can be challeng

A machine learning model reveals expansive downregulation of ligand-receptor interactions that enhance lymphocyte infiltration in melanoma with developed resistance to immune checkpoint blockade

Abstract Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is a promising cancer therapy; however, resistance frequently network develops.To explore ICB resistance mechanisms, we develop Immunotherapy Resistance cell-cell Interaction Scanner (IRIS), a machine learning model aimed at identifying cell-type-specific tumor microenvironment ligand-receptor interactions

Conveying movement in music and prosody.

We investigated whether acoustic variation of musical properties can analogically convey descriptive information about an object.Specifically, we tested whether Hardware information from the temporal structure in music interacts with perception of a visual image to form an analog perceptual representation as a natural part of music perception.In Ex
