Challenging paediatric coarctation cases treated with a hybrid approach: five-year follow up.

Two paediatric patients suffering from recurrent coarctation after native coarctation surgery were scheduled for cardiac catheterisation in a hybrid setting by the age of two and three years. Through a right anterior mini-thoracotomy, unmounted stents were successfully placed in the coarctant segment. One-year follow up did not show echocardiographic improvement but the patients were controlled on medical therapy.

Secure Communications for Resource-Constrained IoT Devices.

The importance of securing communications on the Internet of Things (IoT) cannot be overstated. This is especially the case in light of the increasing proliferation of IoT devices and instances, as well as the growing dependence on their usage. Meanwhile, there have recently been mounting concerns over a wide array of vulnerabilities in IoT communications.

Tag Localization with Asynchronous Inertial-Based Shifting and Trilateration.

Personal Area Networks (PAN) are key topologies in pervasive Internet of Things (IoT) localization applications. In the numerous object localization techniques, centralization and synchronization between the elements are assumed. In this paper, we leverage crowdsourcing from multiple fixed and mobile elements to enhance object localization.
