[Surgical management of acute traumatic spinal cord injury : Stability vs. functionality].

Background: Traumatic spinal cord injuries represent a devastating condition in the lives of those affected, with physical, emotional, and economic burdens for the patients themselves, their social environment, and society as a whole.

Objective: Surgical approach and techniques in traumatic spinal cord injuries.

Results: Traumatic spinal cord injuries should be surgically treated as soon as possible, but at least within 24 h of injury.

DOPESLAM: High-Precision ROS-Based Semantic 3D SLAM in a Dynamic Environment.

Recent advancements in deep learning techniques have accelerated the growth of robotic vision systems. One way this technology can be applied is to use a mobile robot to automatically generate a 3D map and identify objects within it. This paper addresses the important challenge of labeling objects and generating 3D maps in a dynamic environment.

The intersection of bee and flower sexes: pollen presence shapes sex-specific bee foraging associations in sunflower.

Foraging preferences are known to differ among bee taxa, and can also differ between male and female bees of the same species. Similarly, bees can prefer a specific flower sex, particularly if only one sex provides pollen. Such variation in foraging preferences could lead to divergent bee communities visiting different flower sexes of a plant species.

The Clinical Outcome of Custom-Made Implants in Primary and Revision Hip Arthroplasty.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Facing the increasing number of priary and revision hip arthroplasties, the therapy of complex osseus defects becomes a crucial issue. Large acetabular defects cannot be treated with standard implant. Individual, customized implants based on 3D computed tomography (CT) scans are used for reconstruction.

French Society of ENT (SFORL) guidelines. Management of acute Bell's palsy.

AQFThe authors present the guidelines of the French Society of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery (SFORL) regarding the management of Bell's palsy in adults. After a literature review by a multidisciplinary workgroup, guidelines were drawn up based on retrieved articles and group-members' experience, then read over by an independent group to edit the final version. Guidelines were graded A, B, C or "expert opinion" according to decreasing level of evidence.
