Objectives
To compare 90‐day postoperative complication rates between Veterans receiving cataract surgery in VA vs Community Care (CC) during the first year of implementation of the Veterans Choice Act.
Data Sources
Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 VA and CC outpatient data from VA’s Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) 10/01/14‐9/30/15). FY14 data were used to obtain baseline clinical information prior to surgery...
Objective
To reveal the alterations in quality of life (QOL) in bone metastases patients after magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS).
Methods
This retrospective study enrolled 26 patients diagnosed with bone metastases. Patients had various primary malignant tumors and tumor lesions in different locations. All patients received MRgFUS for bone metastasis. Each focal spot sonication...
Virtual simulation has been verified as an important approach to help people coping with emergency evacuation. This study presents the efficient scene playback and evacuation decision methods against emergency in the 3D virtual simulation applications. Firstly, the method of constructing customizable evacuation scene is proposed, which supports dynamic scene management and interactive editing. Then...
Improving the driving safety is one major concern for the design of intelligent vehicles. In this paper, we present a monocular vision based driver assistance system for dangerous traffic warning. The video sequences captured from a single camera mounted behind the windshield are used for lane detection and front vehicle identification. Two basic modules, lane departure warning system (LDWS) and front...
Software reliability allocation is a complicated multiple-criteria decision process which involves many factors such as cost, performance, functional complexity and testing. For medical devices, safety is an extremely critical factor that it must be emphasized in the system software development from the early stages. In this paper, we demonstrate an intuitive approach to incorporate safety into reliability...
Vehicle safety communications research is rapidly advancing in Europe and the U.S. from proof of concept to large scale field testing. Congestion control is a key challenge facing the current efforts to develop a deployable system able to function properly once the penetration rate reaches a high level. This paper focuses on how channel load forms in the context of vehicle safety communications. How...
