FIXATION FREE LAPAROSCOPIC OBLITERATION OF INGUINAL HERNIA DEFECTS WITH THE 3D DYNAMIC RESPONSIVE SCAFFOLD PROFLOR

Fixation free laparoscopic obliteration of inguinal hernia defects with the 3D dynamic responsive scaffold ProFlor

Abstract Laparoscopic TAPP/TEP approaches are well-established options for the cure of inguinal hernias.As in the open approach, mesh fixation and poor-quality biologic response represent controversial questions and are a source of concerns.Furthermore, hernia defect patency represents another problem which seems not well tzone ball acknowledged am

Teaching Multiple Inverse Reinforcement Learners

In this paper, we propose the first machine teaching algorithm for multiple inverse reinforcement learners.As our initial contribution, we formalize the problem of optimally teaching a sequential task to a heterogeneous class of learners.We then contribute a theoretical analysis of such problem, identifying conditions under which it is possible to

Multimodality Advanced Cardiovascular and Molecular Imaging for Early Detection and Monitoring of Cancer Therapy-Associated Cardiotoxicity and the Role of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data

Cancer mortality has improved due to earlier detection via screening, as well as due to novel cancer therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitions.However, similarly to older cancer therapies such as anthracyclines, these therapies have also been documented to cause cardiotoxic events including cardiomyopathy, myoca
