The past two decades have seen unprecedented student demand for global health education through experiential and engaged learning within institutions of higher education in the United States. This demand created a need for innovative institutional partnerships. Since 2007, faculty from Cornell University’s Global Health Program and Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College (KCMUCo) have wor
Purpose or ObjectiveTo evaluate two commercial, CE labeled deep learning-based models for automatic organs at risk segmentation on planning CT images for prostate cancer radiotherapy. Model evaluation was focused on assessing both geometrical metrics and evaluating a potential time saving.Material and MethodsThe evaluated models consisted of RayStation 10B Deep Learning Segmentation (RaySearch Lab
Autonomous robots capable of turning natural-language instructions into reliable physical actions remain a central challenge in artificial intelligence. Here we show that connecting a large language model agent to the robot operating system enables a versatile framework for embodied intelligence, and we release the complete implementation as freely available open-source code. The agent automatical
We introduce a two-phase quadratic integrate-and-fire (QIF) neuron whose membrane potential evolves according to two alternating Riccati equations within finite bounds. This simple extension removes the unphysical voltage divergence of the standard QIF model while producing realistic spike waveforms. Despite this modification, the system retains an exact low-dimensional description in the thermody
INTRODUCTION: Resection of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) aims to prevent progression to invasive pancreatic cancer. However, the risks of pancreatic surgery and frequent findings of low-grade dysplasia (LGD) raise concerns about overtreatment. This EAHPBA-endorsed multinational study evaluated short- and long-term overall survival (OS) following preventive resection for IPMN (with
This paper presents a two-phase heuristic methodology aimed at the reconfiguration of a radial distribution network with the objective of minimizing the computational time. In the preliminary phase of the operation, all network switches are in a closed state, and it is proposed that a subsequent switch opening methodology be employed to achieve a configuration that approximates optimal radial char
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Given the risk of a progression, or an undiagnosed endometrial cancer (EC), the treatment of choice is hysterectomy in women with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN). The risk of metastatic disease and whether sentinel node (SLN) biopsy should be performed remains unclear. The primary aim of this prospective study was to determine the overall incidence of concurrent
Larm och oljud är en naturlig del av arbetsmiljön på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Störande ljud kan leda till stress och sömnbrist hos patienter. Kunskap hos personal om vad som stör innebär möjligheter till reducering av störningar. Syftet med studien var att mäta frekvensen av potentiella störningsfaktorer avseende ljud från utvald medicinsk apparatur och utrustning för patienter på intensivvårdss
This paper reports on some preliminary results from the first stage of an interview survey, focusing on current practices and challenges in market-driven RE. The interviews are analysed based on the characteristics of market-driven RE presented in the literature. The interviews correspond largely with the literature. Identified discrepancies compared with the literature concerns the time-to-market
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nästa år är det 400 år sedan Galileo Galilei för första gången riktade ett teleskop mot objekt på himlen. Allt sedan dess har teleskopet varit det viktigaste instrumentet för astronomins utveckling och med dess hjälp har vår kunskap om universum revolutionerats. Tack vare utvecklingen av teleskopet under dessa århundraden har allt ljussvagare objekt kunnat studeras, ochThis thesis presents the work on the design of, construction of, and finally observations with, an experimental setup comprising a small telescope equipped with adaptive optics. The facility has been assembled at Lund Observatory, where also observations on the sky have been made. The aim of this project was to gain hands-on knowledge in the development of a real adaptive optics system and eventua
