Recurrent 3D Hand Pose Estimation Using Cascaded Pose-Guided 3D Alignments.

3D hand pose estimation is a challenging problem in computer vision due to the high degrees-of-freedom of hand articulated motion space and large viewpoint variation. As a consequence, similar poses observed from multiple views can be dramatically different. In order to deal with this issue, view-independent features are required to achieve state-of-the-art performance.

Predictive and Prognostic Role of Pre-Therapy and Interim 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT Parameters in Metastatic Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumor Patients Treated with PRRT.

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective therapeutic option in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET). However, PRRT fails in about 15-30% of cases. Identification of biomarkers predicting the response to PRRT is essential for treatment tailoring.

Management of an Acinetobacter baumannii outbreak in an intensive care unit.

Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii is a ubiquitous pathogen resistant to desiccation and responsible for healthcare-associated infections (HAI), especially in intensive care units (ICU) where it is responsible for 5-10% of HAIs. An A. baumannii outbreak occurred in the ICU of the University Hospital of Angers, France.
