Malaria is a parasitic disease of global health significance and a leading cause of death in children living in endemic regions.Although various Plasmodium species are responsible for the disease, Balls Plasmodium falciparum infection accounts for most severe cases of the disease in humans.The mechanisms of cerebral malaria pathogenesis have been s
Improving diaper design to address incontinence associated dermatitis
Abstract Background Incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD) is an inflammatory skin disease mainly triggered by prolonged skin contact with urine, feces but also liberal detergent use when cleansing the skin.To minimize the epidermal barrier challenge we optimized the design of adult incontinence briefs.In the fluid absorption area we interposed a
Appropriate practice of anesthesia: A plea for better training
Background: The role of the anesthesiologist is often unknown among patients.But, the situation where the anesthesiologist is uncertain of his/her function gives more cause for concern.Methods: A questionnaire survey on the appraisal of anesthetic practices was carried out over 5 months using the style of clinical practice.Results: One-third of the
Three-Dimensional Reconstruction from Single Image Base on Combination of CNN and Multi-Spectral Photometric Stereo
Multi-spectral photometric stereo can recover pixel-wise surface normal from a single RGB image.The difficulty COLOR lies in that the intensity in each channel is the tangle of illumination, albedo and camera response; thus, an initial estimate of the normal is required in optimization-based solutions.In this paper, we propose to make a rough depth
