In performing brachioplasty, the authors have created a double-ellipse marking technique to avoid overresecting and leave adequate skin for closure. After resecting, they prevent the interference of soft-tissue swelling during wound closure by immediately closing each segment with temporary staples. Their technique is ideal for patients with massive weight loss.

Background: Detection of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATA) on long-term electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings is a prerequisite to reduce ATA-related adverse events. However, the burden of editing massive ECG data is not sustainable. Deep learning (DL) algorithms provide improved performances on resting ECG databases.

The need to reduce energy consumption means that it is necessary to reduce the weight of vehicles. However, a thick wall of massive elements promotes the formation of casting defects, which must be removed by either plastic processing (straightening) or welding methods (surface and internal discontinuities). Basic alloys contain Al and Zn as the main alloying elements.

Low-weight codes have been proposed for efficiently synthesizing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for massive data storage, where a multiple of DNA strands are synthesized in parallel. We report on the redundancy and information rate of maxentropic low-weight codes for asymptotically large codeword length. We compare the performance of low-complexity nibble replacement (NR) codes, which are designed to minimize the synthesis time, with the performance of maxentropic low-weight codes.
