post-surgical weight loss trajectories were significantly associated in a curvilinear model with pre-surgical weight loss; optimal post-surgical results were associated with moderate pre-surgical weight loss, and inversely associated with maternal history of obesity, early-life weight loss attempts, and ...

As a compromise between having a sufficiently large batch size for finding optimal weights during gradient descent and a sufficiently high image resolution for meaningful feature extraction, models were training with a batch size of 16 with training images resized to pixels2, which was able to run...
The optimal cut-off values of BMI, operative duration, and the combination of the two factors were 24.36 kg/m2, 4.465 h and 30.93, respectively. The AUCs were 0.67, 0.71 and 0.75, respectively. The sensitivity was 64.52%, 54.84%, and 72.58%, respectively. The specificity was 66.13%, ...
where medication release is dependent on the presence of harmful microorganisms [168]. The optimal wound dressing should be mechanically stable enough, have a nanofiber-engineered structure, absorb wound exudate, moisturize the wound milieu, enable gas exchange, and release wound-healing mediators and ...

Moreover, the combination of Doppler ultrasonography with endoscopy was ideal for determining the optimal puncture location because it provided information on wall thickness and vascularity. Consequently, we were able to achieve adequate cleaning and disinfection of the abscess intraoperatively and for 3 ...
