Assessment of Early and Late Management of Submental Gunshot Wounds.

Management of submental gunshot wounds is becoming more common and requires complex surgical decisions. Compare outcomes of early and definitive reconstructive techniques following submental gunshot wounds. Retrospective chart review evaluated subjects who sustained a self-inflicted submental gunshot.

Percutaneous cryoablation of adrenal metastases: technical feasibility and safety.

Purpose: To assess the technical feasibility and outcomes of adrenal metastases cryoablation.

Materials And Methods: This is an IRB approved retrospective review of adrenal metastases cryoablation between April 2003 and October 2018. Forty percutaneous cryoablation procedures were performed on 40 adrenal metastases in 34 patients.

Age Limit and Radiotherapy Option for Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of the Larynx: A Case Report with Literature Review.

Sarcomatoid carcinomas, also known as spindle cell carcinomas (SPCCs), are rare carcinomas, predominantly developing in the lung. They have lots of features of sarcoma in their histological features. The standard laryngeal carcinoma classification is based on tumor size, lymph node affection, and metastasis (TNM), it is the classification scheme of the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging (AJCC), and it is used in the same way for stage spindle cell carcinoma (SPCC).

Central vestibular dysfunction in an otorhinolaryngological vestibular unit: incidence and diagnostic strategy.

Introduction Vertigo can be due to a variety of central and peripheral causes. The relative incidence of central causes is underestimated. This may have an important impact of the patients' management and prognosis.

A fully implantable 96-channel neural data acquisition system.

A fully implantable neural data acquisition system is a key component of a clinically viable brain-machine interface. This type of system must communicate with the outside world and obtain power without the use of wires that cross through the skin. We present a 96-channel fully implantable neural data acquisition system.

Optimizing the automatic selection of spike detection thresholds using a multiple of the noise level.

Thresholding is an often-used method of spike detection for implantable neural signal processors due to its computational simplicity. A means for automatically selecting the threshold is desirable, especially for high channel count data acquisition systems. Estimating the noise level and setting the threshold to a multiple of this level is a computationally simple means of automatically selecting a threshold.

A single-chip signal processing and telemetry engine for an implantable 96-channel neural data acquisition system.

A fully implantable neural data acquisition system is a key component of a clinically viable cortical brain-machine interface. We present the design and implementation of a single-chip device that serves the processing needs of such a system. Our device processes 96 channels of multi-unit neural data and performs all digital processing necessary for bidirectional wireless communication.
