Low-Cost Approach to an Instream Water Depth Sensor Construction Using Differential Pressure Sensors and Arduino Microcontrollers.

Accurate hydrological data with high spatial resolution is important for flood risk and water resource management, particularly under the context of climate change. The cost of monitoring networks, as well as the characteristics of the hydrological environment itself, can be a barrier to meeting these data requirements, however. This study covers the design and testing of a low-cost, "build-it-yourself", instream water depth sensor providing an assessment of its potential in future hydrological monitoring projects.

Hemangioblastoma of spinal nerve: a report of six cases.

Aims: Hemangioblastomas may arise sporadically or in the setting of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. In either instance, it rarely occurs outside the central nervous system. By analysis of a large case series, we sought to further characterize the clinical, radiologic and pathologic features of hemangioblastomas involving nerve root.

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia admitted to intensive care: a case-control study.

Background: There is limited epidemiologic data on patients with acute myelogenous (myeloid) leukemia (AML) requiring life-sustaining therapies in the intensive care unit (ICU). Our objectives were to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes in critically ill AML patients.

Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study.
