Authors: Jouybari A. , Ardalan A. A. , Rezvani M.-H.
Published: September 2017

Abstract. The accurate measurement of platform orientation plays a critical role in a range of applications including marine, aerospace, robotics, navigation, human motion analysis, and machine interaction. We used Mahoney filter, Complementary filter and Xsens Kalman filter for achieving Euler angle of a dynamic platform by integration of gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer measurements. The field test has been performed in Kish Island using an IMU sensor (Xsens MTi-G-700) that installed onboard a buoy so as to provide raw data of gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometer measurements about 25 minutes. These raw data were used to calculate the Euler angles by Mahoney filter and Complementary filter, while the Euler angles collected by XSense IMU sensor become the reference of the Euler angle estimations. We then compared Euler angles which calculated by Mahoney Filter and Complementary Filter with reference to the Euler angles recorded by the XSense IMU sensor. The standard deviations of the differences between the Mahoney Filter, Complementary Filter Euler angles and XSense IMU sensor Euler angles were about 0.5644, 0.3872, 0.4990 degrees and 0.6349, 0.2621, 2.3778 degrees for roll, pitch, and heading, respectively, so the numerical result assert that Mahoney filter is precise for roll and heading angles determination and Complementary filter is precise only for pitch determination, it should be noted that heading angle determination by Complementary filter has more error than Mahoney filter.
RECURSIVE LEAST SQUARES WITH REAL TIME STOCHASTIC MODELING: APPLICATION TO GPS RELATIVE POSITIONING

Published: September 2017

Abstract. Geodetic data processing is usually performed by the least squares (LS) adjustment method. There are two different forms for the LS adjustment, namely the batch form and recursive form. The former is not an appropriate method for real time applications in which new observations are added to the system over time. For such cases, the recursive solution is more suitable than the batch form. The LS method is also implemented in GPS data processing via two different forms. The mathematical model including both functional and stochastic models should be properly defined for both forms of the LS method. Proper choice of the stochastic model plays an important role to achieve high-precision GPS positioning. The noise characteristics of the GPS observables have been already investigated using the least squares variance component estimation (LS-VCE) in a batch form by the authors. In this contribution, we introduce a recursive procedure that provides a proper stochastic modeling for the GPS observables using the LS-VCE. It is referred to as the recursive LS-VCE (RLS-VCE) method, which is applied to the geometry-based observation model (GBOM). In this method, the (co)variances parameters can be estimated recursively when the new group of observations is added. Therefore, it can easily be implemented in real time GPS data processing. The efficacy of the method is evaluated using a real GPS data set collected by the Trimble R7 receiver over a zero baseline. The results show that the proposed method has an appropriate performance so that the estimated (co)variance parameters of the GPS observables are consistent with the batch estimates. However, using the RLS-VCE method, one can estimate the (co)variance parameters of the GPS observables when a new observation group is added. This method can thus be introduced as a reliable method for application to the real time GPS data processing.
FUSION OF LANDSAT- 8 THERMAL INFRARED AND VISIBLE BANDS WITH MULTI-RESOLUTION ANALYSIS CONTOURLET METHODS
Authors: Farhanj F. , Akhoondzadeh M.
Published: September 2017

Abstract. Land surface temperature image is an important product in many lithosphere and atmosphere applications. This image is retrieved from the thermal infrared bands. These bands have lower spatial resolution than the visible and near infrared data. Therefore, the details of temperature variation can't be clearly identified in land surface temperature images. The aim of this study is to enhance spatial information in thermal infrared bands. Image fusion is one of the efficient methods that are employed to enhance spatial resolution of the thermal bands by fusing these data with high spatial resolution visible bands. Multi-resolution analysis is an effective pixel level image fusion approach. In this paper, we use contourlet, non-subsampled contourlet and sharp frequency localization contourlet transform in fusion due to their advantages, high directionality and anisotropy. The absolute average difference and RMSE values show that with small distortion in the thermal content, the spatial information of the thermal infrared and the land surface temperature images is enhanced.
GRAPH-BASED SEMI-SUPERVISED HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGE CLASSIFICATION USING SPATIAL INFORMATION
Authors: Jamshidpour N. , Homayouni S. , Safari A.
Published: September 2017

Abstract. Hyperspectral image classification has been one of the most popular research areas in the remote sensing community in the past decades. However, there are still some problems that need specific attentions. For example, the lack of enough labeled samples and the high dimensionality problem are two most important issues which degrade the performance of supervised classification dramatically. The main idea of semi-supervised learning is to overcome these issues by the contribution of unlabeled samples, which are available in an enormous amount. In this paper, we propose a graph-based semi-supervised classification method, which uses both spectral and spatial information for hyperspectral image classification. More specifically, two graphs were designed and constructed in order to exploit the relationship among pixels in spectral and spatial spaces respectively. Then, the Laplacians of both graphs were merged to form a weighted joint graph. The experiments were carried out on two different benchmark hyperspectral data sets. The proposed method performed significantly better than the well-known supervised classification methods, such as SVM. The assessments consisted of both accuracy and homogeneity analyses of the produced classification maps. The proposed spectral-spatial SSL method considerably increased the classification accuracy when the labeled training data set is too scarce.When there were only five labeled samples for each class, the performance improved 5.92% and 10.76% compared to spatial graph-based SSL, for AVIRIS Indian Pine and Pavia University data sets respectively.
LEAST SQUARE APPROACH FOR ESTIMATING OF LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE FROM LANDSAT-8 SATELLITE DATA USING RADIATIVE TRANSFER EQUATION
Authors: Jouybari-Moghaddam Y. , Saradjian M. R. , Forati A. M.
Published: September 2017

Abstract. Land Surface Temperature (LST) is one of the significant variables measured by remotely sensed data, and it is applied in many environmental and Geoscience studies. The main aim of this study is to develop an algorithm to retrieve the LST from Landsat-8 satellite data using Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE). However, LST can be retrieved from RTE, but, since the RTE has two unknown parameters including LST and surface emissivity, estimating LST from RTE is an under the determined problem. In this study, in order to solve this problem, an approach is proposed an equation set includes two RTE based on Landsat-8 thermal bands (i.e.: band 10 and 11) and two additional equations based on the relation between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and emissivity of Landsat-8 thermal bands by using simulated data for Landsat-8 bands. The iterative least square approach was used for solving the equation set. The LST derived from proposed algorithm is evaluated by the simulated dataset, built up by MODTRAN. The result shows the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) is less than 1.18°K. Therefore; the proposed algorithm can be a suitable and robust method to retrieve the LST from Landsat-8 satellite data.

Creating a writing course to improve the writing self-efficacy of graduate nursing students
Authors: Robinson Lisa B. , Bishop Mary
Published: September 2017

Objective: Contemporary advanced professional nursing requires the ability to communicate effectively in written and oral forms. Many registered nurses enter graduate nursing school with experience writing in medical records but with no experience writing scholarly papers or writing for publication. This article describes the development, implementation and evaluation of a writing course developed in an online graduate nursing program in the southeastern United States. The goal of this research was to determine if graduate nursing students’ writing self-efficacy increased after the completion of a newly developed one-credit online writing course.Methods: Fifty-three first-semester graduate nursing students participated in a 16-week online asynchronous writing course developed at a school of nursing. The course instructors designed writing experiences with the goal of increasing writing competency. The faculty defined writing competence as achieving mastery of the necessary writing skills to produce an organized, logical, understandable message containing the effective use of language, grammar, and punctuation.Results: The students’ writing self-efficacy increased significantly from pretest and posttest. The results revealed a significant increase in self efficacy scores with the second administration of the tool. The mean of the 20-question Likert scale pretest was 70.59. Results obtained after the conclusion of the course resulted in a mean of 80.12. The finding of a mean increase of 9.529 was found to be statistically significant.Conclusions: The information from this research can be used to develop effective strategies to support online graduate students with their writing skills. This experience highlights the fact that we cannot leave the development of academic writing to chance. Achieving academic writing success requires structured instruction, practice and frequent feedback from faculty who have the passion for and expertise in scholarly writing.

Understanding the Basics of Computational Models in Orthopaedics: A Nonnumeric Review for Surgeons
Authors: Mehta Samir , Tyler Andrew , Hast Michael
Published: September 2017

Computational models represent more than just finite element analysis, a term that many clinicians may know and globally apply. Over the past 30 years, many published studies have addressed clinically relevant orthopaedic questions with speed and precision by using a wide variety of computational approaches. Given such a wide spectrum of techniques, clinicians often do not have a full understanding of the methods used to create models and therefore do not appreciate the strengths, weaknesses, and potential pitfalls of published results. The short, nonnumeric summaries of the methodologies employed for various computational approaches presented here can help address this issue.

Authors: Matzkin Elizabeth G. , Curry Emily J. , Kong Qingwu , Rogers Miranda J. , Henry Michael , Smith Eric L.
Published: September 2017

Introduction:

Intra-articular corticosteroid injections are often used for short-term pain relief in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). This study investigates the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroid injections in patients with symptomatic knee OA and factors that affect treatment response.

Methods:

This prospective, multicentered cohort study had 100 participants with radiographic evidence of knee OA enrolled. Participants received one corticosteroid injection into the affected knee and were evaluated before the injection (baseline) and at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after the injection.

Results:

Participants’ Visual Numeric Scale and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scores improved at all time points except for the Visual Numeric Scale score at 6 months, compared with baseline scores (P < 0.001). Participants with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 1 or 2 OA saw clinical improvement in the WOMAC scores at all time points, compared with the baseline score (P < 0.01). Compared with all other subgroups, obese patients with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3 or 4 OA had significantly worse WOMAC scores at baseline, 6 weeks, and 3 months (P < 0.01 and P < 0.01, respectively).

Discussion:

Our findings validate previously established guidelines for nonsurgical management of knee OA and suggest that intra-articular corticosteroid injections may be an acceptable short-term management option in patients unwilling or unable to undergo surgical treatment. Obesity and OA severity affect the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroid injections.

Conclusion:

Patients receiving intra-articular corticosteroid injections had improved pain and function. Clinicians should expect less improvement in patients with obesity and/or advanced arthritis. Clinical benefits of intra-articular injections in these patients are less predictable.
Lawsuits After Primary and Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Malpractice Claims Analysis
Authors: Patterson Diana C. , Grelsamer Ronald , Bronson Michael J. , Moucha Calin S.
Published: September 2017

Introduction:

As the number of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) increases, the number of associated complications will also increase. Our goal with this study was to identify common causes of and financial trends relating to malpractice claims filed after TKA.

Methods:

We analyzed malpractice claims filed for alleged neglectful primary and revision TKA surgeries performed between 1982 and 2012 by orthopaedic surgeons insured by a large New York state malpractice carrier.

Results:

We identified 69 primary and 8 revision TKAs in the malpractice carrier’s database. All cases were performed between 1982 and 2012; all claims were closed between 1989-2015. The most frequent factor leading to lawsuits for primary TKA was chronic pain or dissatisfaction in 12 cases, followed by nerve palsy in 8, postoperative in-hospital falls in 5, and deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism in 3. Medical complications included acute respiratory distress syndrome, cardiac arrest, and decubitus ulcers. Contracture was most common after revision TKA (three of eight cases). Mean indemnity was $325,369, and the largest single settlement was $2.42 million. The average expense relating to the defense of these cases was $66,365.

Conclusions:

Orthopaedic surgeons should continue to focus attention on prevention of complications and on preoperative patient education. Preoperative counseling regarding the risks of incomplete pain relief could reduce substantially the number of suits relating to primary TKAs.
Update on Direct Oral AntiCoagulants (DOACs)
Authors: Rosenthal Christoph , von Heymann Christian , Koscielny Jürgen
Published: September 2017

Recent findings require an update of previous recommendations for the perioperative use of Direct Oral AntiCoagulants (DOACs). A break in preoperative treatment of 24–96 hours is recommended based on the pharmacokinetic profiles of DOACs and depends on individual patient characteristics, their renal and possibly liver function, and their surgery-related risk of bleeding. In cases of renal or hepatic insufficiency, whether to extend the preoperative interruption of IIa- and Xa-inhibitors is a clinical decision that must be reached on an individual patient basis. In cases of epidural or spinal anaesthesia, more conservative pausing-intervals are recommended due to the risk of persistent neurologic deficits (e.g., paraplegia) following the development of spinal subdural and epidural haematomas. Elective surgery should be postponed according to these recommendations. Preoperative “bridging” with LMWH (more precisely referred to as „switching”) should be omitted due to a significantly increased risk of bleeding. In addition, the incidence of perioperative thromboembolic risks, such as DVT, PE, and stroke, are no different whether interruption or “switching” is undertaken. Postoperatively, the DOACs can be reinstituted within the first 24 hours. In cases of major surgery or if there is a higher risk of bleeding, resumption of DOACS should only begin after 24–72 hours. In patients with an elevated thromboembolic risk, transient postoperative LMWH administration can be recommended during this period.

Interaction of DOACs with other drugs usually occurs during the absorption, transport and elimination of these drugs. Therefore, substance- specific restrictions and recommendations should be observed during these times. In everyday clinical practice, webbased, independent information portals on drug-interactions are very helpful in providing safe and rapid information about potential interactions when DOACs are used in combination with other drugs, especially during perioperative management.

Non-adherence to medications is a worldwide problem that has dangerous and costly consequences. Present data suggest that persistence is the primary factor that supports adherence. Despite the adherence data presented in the DOACS approval studies (e.g., persistence in the treatment of acute venous thromboembolism has been reported to be between 94–99%), the first registries and meta-analyses provide sobering results regarding the incidence of persistence and the success rate of interventions designed to improve adherence with DOACs in cases of long-term usage.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to analyze the profile of patients applying for free preventive examinations within The Forth European Head an Neck Cancer (HNC) Awareness Week in the Department of Otorhynolaryngology in Międzyleski Hospital in Warsaw (ORL MSS).
Material and methods: A media campaign was designed to inform HNC risk patients about the opportunity to receive free preventive examinations in ORL MSS. 225 patients were enrolled to the study. Patient age ranged from 26 to 92 (average 63 years). Women accounted for 66% (149) and males 34% (76). Each patient completed a questionnaire assessing risk factors for HNC, including reported symptoms and lifestyle. ENT examination was performed. Some patients were referred for further diagnostics and treatment.
Results: The following HNC risk factors connected with lifestyle were found: nicotine in 22%, alcohol in more than once a week in 12%, oral sex in 17%, multiple sexual partners in 10%, rare dental tests in 24%, prosthetic restorations in 45%. The symptom that most often prompted patients to participate in the HNC prevention week was chronic hoarseness (64%) of people, dry mouth (39%), swallowing (37%), nasal obstruction (6%), neck tumour (5%). One per every five patients was referred to further diagnostics: imaging screening 7% (15 persons), fiber optic examination 11% (25 persons), the excision of the lesion 8% (18 persons). 17 patients were referred for further oncological treatment, of which 13 had benign tumors and 4 had malignant tumors.

Conclusions: The HNC Awareness Program increases public consciousness and should systematically includes people with risk factors. The introduction of the Program in the ORL Department has made possible to detect and treat cancer in early stages in 7.5% of those who applied for the program. The use of adequate diagnostics and treatment requires, however, adequate financial resources and systemic solutions.
