Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of dietary phosphorus, its sources, recommended intakes, and its absorption and metabolism in health and in chronic kidney disease and to discuss recent findings in this area with a focus on the effects of inorganic phosphate additives in bone health. Recent Findings Recent findings show that increasing dietary phosphorus through...
Lethal skeletal dysplasias can be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound (US) using several sonographic parameters. Degree of femoral shortening, lung volumes, femur length to abdominal circumference ratio, and chest circumference to abdominal circumference ratio are the most sensitive and specific predictors. Although there are more than 450 different skeletal dysplasias, only a few are lethal in the perinatal...
This paper investigates the effects of drill speed, burr type, burr style, and stroke speed on the acoustics that are generated from a surgical drill when dissecting the squamous temporal bone region. Multivariate regression is used to analyse and predict the Mel frequency cepstrum of the audio that is generated during the procedure. It is seen that each of drilling parameters along with their higher...
This paper presents a method to identify the bone regions encountered during a temporal bone dissection. This should aid the otolaryngologist in the identification of anatomical landmarks whilst training and performing surgical procedures. The approach adopts the mel frequency cepstrum coefficients and the Mahalanobis distance metric to indentify the temporal bone regions from the acoustic signature...
