Backgroundand objectives: Burn patients represent a challenging cohort because the injuries entail a vulnerability to colonisation by microorganisms.The ensuing infections can lead to serious complications and, in many cases, to the death of the burn patient.Surgical intervention and wound dressings, as well as antibiotic treatment, are crucial for
Cycling and walking to work in New Zealand, 1991-2006: regional and individual differences, and pointers to effective interventions
Abstract Background Active commuting increases levels of physical activity and is more likely to be adopted and sustained than exercise programmes.Despite the potential health, environmental, social and economic benefits, cycling and walking are increasingly marginal modes of transport in many countries.This paper investigated regional and individu
Zero-Shot Image Classification Based on Improved Variational Auto-encoder
In the process of zero-shot Pain Relief image classification, problems such as high acquisition cost for samples of known categories and domain drift were addressed.A zero-shot image classification model based on maximum mean difference was proposed to improve the variational auto-encoder.First, the noise factor of samples is separated by maximizin
Epidural stimulation with locomotor training ameliorates unstable blood pressure after tetraplegia. A case report
Abstract A male with C7 complete tetraplegia participated in 14 weeks of body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) combined with spinal cord epidural stimulation (SCES), 4 weeks of no intervention, Contour Brush and two more weeks of BWSTT + SCES.The participant presented with unstable resting seated blood pressure (BP; 131/66 mmHg).After re
