A Survey of Algorithms Involved in the Conversion of 2-D Images to 3-D Model

Since the advent of machine learning, deep neural networks, and computer graphics, the field of 2D image to 3D model conversion has made tremendous strides. As a result, many algorithms and methods for converting 2D to 3D images have been developed, including SFM, SFS, MVS, and PIFu. Several strategies have been compared, and it was found that each has pros and cons that make it appropriate for particular applications. For instance, SFM is useful for creating realistic 3D models from a collection of pictures, whereas SFS is best for doing so from a single image. While PIFu can create extremely detailed 3D models of human figures from a single image, MVS can manage complicated situations with varied lighting and texture. The method chosen to convert 2D images to 3D ultimately depends on the demands of the application

Meta-analysis of operative experiences of general surgery trainees during training

BACKGROUND: General surgical training curricula around the world set defined operative numbers to be achieved before completion of training. However, there are few studies reporting total operative experience in training. This systematic review aimed to quantify the published global operative experience at completion of training in general surgery. METHODS: Electronic databases were searched systematically for articles in any language relating to operative experience in trainees completing postgraduate general surgical training. Two reviewers independently assessed citations for inclusion using agreed criteria. Studies were assessed for quantitative data in addition to study design and purpose. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model of studies with appropriate data. RESULTS: The search resulted in 1979 titles for review. Of these, 24 studies were eligible for inclusion in the review and data from five studies were used in the meta-analysis. Studies with published data of operative experience at completion of surgical training originated from the USA (19), UK (2), the Netherlands (1), Spain (1) and Thailand (1). Mean total operative experience in training varied from 783 procedures in Thailand to 1915 in the UK. Meta-analysis produced a mean pooled estimate of 1366 (95 per cent c.i. 1026 to 1707) procedures per trainee at completion of training. There was marked heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 99.6 per cent). CONCLUSION: There is a lack of robust data describing the operative experiences of general surgical trainees outside the USA. The number of surgical procedures performed by general surgeons in training varies considerably across the world

SOLDIER SUITS FOR HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM

The design of an E-uniform which provides better protection to the soldiers who are working in extreme weather conditions.The uniform is operated in two modes,summer mode & winter mode . This project has an extension part which includes the interfacing of GSM,GPS & Health monitoring sensors, which gives the body parameter value & is also messaged to the concern person at the boundaries. Each soldier will have a GPS & GSM module & heartbeat sensor ,temperature sensor & blood pressure sensor which will tells the based headquarter about their position,pulse rate & temperature of the bod

Conservative management of unicystic ameloblastoma in a young child: Report of two cases

Unicystic ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, locally invasive odontogenic neoplasm of young age that show clinical, radiographic, or gross features of an odontogenic cyst, but histologically shows typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining part of the cyst cavity, with or without luminal and/or mural tumor growth. The article presents atypical cases of a large, asymptomatic unicystic ameloblastoma of posterior maxilla and mandibular molar-ramus regions which were treated by surgical enucleation and application of Carnoy's solution for 3 min. The article also describes the importance and complexity of differential diagnosis of an odontogenic lesion sharing common clinical and radiographical features

Patient‐reported outcomes following autologous stem cell transplant for patients with multiple myeloma

Abstract We evaluated changes in patient‐reported outcomes and cognitive function from pre‐ to 3–6 months post‐treatment among 42 newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma undergoing transplant with complete data using PROMIS‐29. There were statistically significant improvements in physical (p < .001) and mental health (p < .001) but not cognition from pre‐treatment to 3–6 month follow‐up. Similar results were seen within age or comorbidity strata. Patients with myeloma undergoing transplant experienced generally improved short‐term health outcomes with no significant declines in cognition
