Surgical Site Infections Complicating the Use of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Renal Transplant Recipients

Surgical site infections (SSI) of the abdominal wall in renal transplant recipients can on occasion require management with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).This is often successful, with a low risk edgewater shoes of further complications.However, we describe three cases in which persistent or recurrent surgical site sepsis occurred, whilst

Sex-Related and Performance Differences in Contractile Properties, ROM, Strength, and Dynamometry Performance of World-Class Flatwater Canoeists

The inclusion of women canoe in the Olympic Games reflects the growth and development that women have ahead of them in this modality.Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore sex and performance level differences in muscle contractile properties through Tensiomyography (TMG), range of motion (ROM), strength, and canoe-specific functional elec

Generic Itemset Mining Based on Reinforcement Learning

One of the biggest problems in itemset mining is the requirement of developing a data read more structure or algorithm, every time a user wants to extract a different type of itemsets.To overcome this, we propose a method, called Generic Itemset Mining based on Reinforcement Learning (GIM-RL), that offers a unified framework to train an agent for e

Logarithmic negativity in quantum Lifshitz theories

Abstract We investigate quantum entanglement in a non-relativistic critical system by calculating the logarithmic negativity of a class of mixed synovex one grass states in the quantum Lifshitz model in one and two spatial dimensions.In 1+1 dimensions we employ a correlator approach to obtain analytic results for both open and periodic biharmonic c
