Introduction: Anecdotal reports and limited reports suggest a possible link between activities involving rapid acceleration and retinal detachment.We present two novel such cases and review existing literature to investigate the plausibility of this association and delineate in what populations such an association may be more likely.Case Presentati
Median arcuate ligament syndrome, a rare case of chronic abdominal pain
The median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare disease characterized by abdominal pain caused by the Facial Wash external compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament.Surgical treatment is indicated, but given the non-specific symptoms, these patients are often hospitalized in the Departments of Internal Medicine where the
On a Hopping-Points SVD and Hough Transform-Based Line Detection Algorithm for Robot Localization and Mapping
Line detection is an important problem in computer vision, graphics and autonomous robot navigation.Lines detected using a laser range sensor (LRS) mounted on a robot can be used as features to build a map of the environment, and later to localize the robot in the map, in a process known as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM).We propose an
Electronic Nose Odor Classification with Advanced Decision Tree Structures
Electronic nose (e-nose) Princess Bride is an electronic device which can measure chemical compounds in air and consequently classify different odors.In this paper, an e-nose device consisting of 8 different gas sensors was designed and constructed.Using this device, 104 different experiments involving 11 different odor classes (moth, angelica root
