Hardware-assisted range image generation for LiDAR point clouds

As the need for efficient 3D data processing increases, particularly in autonomous driving applications, fast and resource-efficient methods for structuring and representing LiDAR data, such as range images (RIs), have become crucial. This letter presents a hardware-accelerated algorithm for generating RIs from 3D LiDAR point clouds, tailored for embedded platforms featuring Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA...

Hypothalamic JNK1-hepatic fatty acid synthase axis mediates a metabolic rewirin...

Olanzapine (OLA), a widely used second-generation antipsychotic (SGA), causes weight gain and metabolic alterations when administered orally to patients. Recently, we demonstrated that, contrarily to the oral treatment which induces weight gain, OLA administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) in male mice resulted in body weight loss. This protection was due to an increase in energy expenditure (EE) through a mecha...

VASCULAR SURGERY AND MYOCARDIAL INJURY AFTER NONCARDIAC SURGERY (MINS): LITERAT...

INTRODUCTION: After noncardiac surgery, cardiac complications are common. Recently there is one that has gained notoriety as risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS). It has an estimated incidence of 8% and is associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Thus, the aim of this paper is to review the available lit...

Effects of diethyl ether introduction in emissions and performance of a diesel ...

Biofuels provide high oxygen content for combustion and do modify properties that influence the engine operation process such as viscosity, enthalpy of vaporization, and cetane number. Some requirements of performance, fuel consumption, efficiency, and exhaust emission are necessary for the validation of these biofuels for application in engines. This work studies the effects of the use of diethyl ether (DEE) i...

BENEFIT OF HYPOCOAGULATION AFTER LOWER LIMB BYPASS - A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Introduction: After surgical revascularization of the lower limb, antiplatelet agents are usually prescribed and anticoagulation is considered in cases of high risk of thrombosis. We conducted a systematic literature review of the existing evidence on long term prescription of anticoagulants in the postoperative. Material and methods: Systematic review of the literature available in the Pubmed database. Results...

SEVERE VASCULAR CALCIFICATION IN PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE: IS THERE A LIMIT ...

Vascular calcification is associated with a worsening of the ischemia categories in patients with peripheral arterial disease independently and represents a huge challenge in both endovascular treatment and revascularization surgery. We present a case report of a patient with multiple cardiovascular risk factors and with risk factors for calcification (diabetes and chronic kidney disease), with critical ischemi...

TRANSAPICAL ACCESS — A COMPLEMENTARY ACCESS FOR TEVAR IN A STANFORD TYPE A DISS...

Introduction/Objectives: Type A aortic dissection (AD) usually requires urgent surgical treatment and aortic segment replacement remains the gold standard. However, it is a very aggressive procedure and some patients are considered too frail for this treatment. Nowadays, endovascular repair represents an alternative treatment but still without precise indications. Our objective is to present a case of hybrid tr...

RETROPERITONEAL FIBROSIS SECONDARY TO THE PLACEMENT OF AORTO-ILIAC STENTS: 2 CL...

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RF) is a rare disease, characterized by inflammation and fibrosis in the periphery of the abdominal aorta which spreads within the retroperitoneal space, invading adjacent structures. In about two thirds of the cases this condition is idiopathic presenting a identified cause in the rest. In the majority of cases, secondary forms are associated with drugs and neoplasia, but there are mo...
