In this paper, a brain-like navigation scheme based on fuzzy kernel C-means (FKCM) clustering assisted pyramid Lucas Kanade (LK) optical flow algorithm is developed to measure the position of vehicle. The Speed Cell and Place Cell in animals' brain are introduced to construct the brain-like navigation mechanism which involves the optical flow method and image template matching to imitate the cells above-mentioned separately. To eliminate the singular values during optical flow calculation, the output of pyramid LK algorithm is clustered by FKCM algorithm firstly. Then, the velocity is calculated and integrated to get the position of the vehicle, and the brain-like navigation scheme is introduced to correct the position measurement errors by eliminating the accumulated errors resulting from velocity integration. The prominent advantages of the presented method are: (i) a pure visual brain-like position measurement method based on the concept of speed cells and place cells is proposed, making visual navigation more accurate and intelligent; (ii) the FKCM algorithm is used to eliminate the singular value of the pyramid LK algorithm, which improves the calculated velocity accuracy. Also, experimental comparison with classical pyramid LK algorithm is given to illustrate the superiority of the proposed method in position measurement.

Clinical outcomes and biomechanics in bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty.
J Exp Orthop
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine The University of Tokyo Tokyo Japan.
Purpose: To clarify the influence of biomechanics on post-operative clinical outcomes in bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (BCR-TKA).
Methods: Severe medial osteoarthritis who underwent BCR-TKA were examined. Each patient was asked to perform a squat (weight-bearing [WB]) and active assisted knee flexion (non-WB [NWB]) under single fluoroscopy surveillance.
Purpose: Anterior tibial closing wedge osteotomy (ATCWO) has been shown to significantly reduce failure rates of revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in patients with a posterior tibial slope (PTS) ≥12°. Recent findings suggest a slight but significant reduction of the medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) resulting in a varus knee where the sagittal osteotomy plane is based on a total of two guide wires defining the osteotomy wedge without respecting the frontal plane. We hypothesize that the placement of a total of four guide wires intraoperatively can reduce the influence on the MPTA.

Introduction: Marathon running has become increasingly popular among amateur athletes, many of whom maintain speeds of 8-9 km/h. However, existing methods for estimating oxygen consumption (VO) during running and walking-such as the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) equations and commercial activity monitors-often lack accuracy and transparency. This study introduces the Hata-Yanagiya Physical Activity Calculation (HYPAC) system, a novel approach for estimating VO using Global Positioning System (GPS) and map data.

Department of Gnathology, San Paolo Dental Building, University of Milan, Milan, Italy.
Aims: To verify the possible association between the stomatognathic and the visual system by analyzing the effects that different mandibular postures may have on the accommodative capacity and ocular convergence and by assessing whether temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can influence visual abilities.
Materials And Methods: A case-control study was performed during a 1-year period on a sample of 100 subjects (50 cases and 50 controls). The subjects underwent a gnathological examination, and two visual tests were performed in three different jaw positions: maximum intercuspation, resting position, and open mouth.
Efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation in gastrointestinal disorders: a systematic review.

Dysfunction of the vagus nerve has been suggested as a contributing factor in various gastrointestinal disorders, prompting interest in vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a non-pharmacological therapy. We performed a systematic review to determine the efficacy of invasive and non-invasive VNS in gastrointestinal disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia (FD), functional constipation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and gastroparesis. We applied a systematic search of the literature in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases in order to identify studies comparing VNS with an adequate control condition (sham stimulation) in patients with gastrointestinal disorders.
