AI Article Synopsis
- Repairing serious head injuries in kids is tough because they are more delicate than adults and have fewer treatment options.
- A 2-year-old boy had a skull fracture after a car accident and needed special surgery to fix it using an artificial layer and muscle flap.
- A teamwork approach is essential to make sure the child gets the best chance to recover safely and successfully.
Article Abstract
Repair of large cranial complex traumas in children is difficult. Notably, children have poorer underlying conditions than adults and are frailer under trauma. In addition, children have more limited treatment options, leading to the need to consider long-term functional and aesthetic outcomes. The present report describes the case of a 2-year-old child weighing 9 kg who experienced a skull fracture with encephalocele after a car accident and had a poor underlying condition. An artificial dura mater combined with bone cement was used to repair the skull, and then a free latissimus dorsi muscle flap (LDMF) combined with a split-thickness skin graft (STSG) was used to cover the wound, allowing the child to overcome the life-threatening situation as soon as possible with a satisfactory outcome. LDMF combined with STSG is an ideal option in repairing head wounds in children. Preoperative imaging and postoperative care also serve an important role in the success of the operation. When the situation is critical, multidisciplinary team treatment can guarantee the safety of the child.

Automated Vehicles (AVs) are on the cusp of commercialization, prompting global governments to organize the forthcoming mobility phase. However, the advancement of technology alone cannot guarantee the successful commercialization of AVs without insights into the accidents on the read roads where Human-driven Vehicles (HV) coexist. To address such an issue, The New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) is currently in progress, and scenario-based approaches have been spotlighted.

Car accidents, infections caused by bacteria or viruses, metastatic lesions, tumors, and malignancies are the most frequent causes of chest wall damage, leading to the removal of the affected area. After excision, artificial bone or synthetic materials are used in chest wall reconstruction to restore the skeletal structure of the chest. Chest implants have traditionally been made from metallic materials like titanium alloys due to their biocompatibility and durability.

The rapid acceleration of urbanization and the surge in car ownership necessitate efficient automatic parking solutions in constricted spaces to address the escalating urban parking issue. To optimize space utilization, enhance traffic efficiency, and mitigate accident risks, a method is proposed for smooth, comfortable, and adaptable automatic parking trajectory planning. This study initially employs a hybrid A* algorithm to generate a preliminary path, then fits the velocity and acceleration based on a cubic polynomial.
