Stent implantation to stabilize the left ventricular lead position seems to be a useful and safe procedure in the treatment of patients with complicated coronary sinus anatomy or lead instability.
Coronary sinus electrode reposition using the femoral approach seems to be a safe and effective procedure, which means smaller burden for the patients compared with the established reposition operation. The technique can be used successfully if the CS lead is in a distal position.
This paper describes an image processing approach capable of estimating the pose of athletes exercising on indoor rowing machines in video sequences. The proposed algorithm finds and tracks the wrist, elbow, shoulder, ankle, knee, hip and head, and the line of the back also. Our contribution is twofold. The first contribution is a new background subtraction method, which can reliably separate the silhouette of athletes under some assumptions related to the videos. Furthermore, the paper introduces -as the second contribution -a skeleton fitting method to find the joints of the athletes based on the results of the background subtraction. This algorithm is based on anthropometric data and special movement patterns. The overall solution works on a real time setting in the test environment. Comparing the results, it is shown that our method surpasses the most accurate state-of-the-art general pose estimation solution for indoor rowing specific videos based on two commonly used metrics, as well.
This paper consists of two parts: planning Co‐operative Transport Systems (CTS) with general rules (communication is a new idea in this system) and an investigation into route planning as a part of services provided in CTS. Part one reveals developing new systems for cooperative sensing and predicting flow, infrastructure and environmental conditions surrounding traffic, with a view to improve the safety and efficiency of road transport operations. Part two introduces the enhancement of the performance of the route planning algorithms. The key issues of these parts are communication and co‐operation between the elements of the whole Co‐operative Transport System.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
