Traffic monitoring system design considering multi-hazard disaster risks.

Roadways are critical infrastructure in our society, providing services for people through and between cities. However, they are prone to closures and disruptions, especially after extreme weather events like hurricanes. At the same time, traffic flow data are a fundamental type of information for any transportation system.

Facilitating adoption of AI in natural disaster management through collaboration.

Artificial intelligence can enhance our ability to manage natural disasters. However, understanding and addressing its limitations is required to realize its benefits. Here, we argue that interdisciplinary, multistakeholder, and international collaboration is needed for developing standards that facilitate its implementation.

Multiple magnetic resonance imaging in patients with implanted sacral nerve stimulator.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess possible impacts of multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans on the function of InterStim™ sacral neurostimulator systems (SNS; Medtronic Inc.) devices and on patient's safety.

Methods: Over the course of 17 years, a total of 16 patients required 72 MRI examinations in various parts of the body.
