POSTERIOR TREATMENT OF ANKYLOSING SPINAL DISEASES WITH THORACOLUMBAR FRACTURES: A NETWORK META-ANALYSIS


AUCReshaping: improved sensitivity at high-specificity

Abstract The evaluation of deep-learning (DL) systems typically relies on the Area under the Receiver-Operating-Curve (AU-ROC) as a performance metric.However, AU-ROC, in baseball scoreboards for sale its holistic form, does not sufficiently consider performance within specific ranges of sensitivity and specificity, which are critical for the inten

Using imaging spectroscopy to assess the impacts of invasive plants on aboveground and belowground characteristics

Invasive plants are threats to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and services.Previous studies have reported that the impacts of biological invasions on ecosystem characteristics can be scale- and ecosystem-dependent.Current methods to assess the impacts of biological invasions have mainly focused on traditional field observations, limiting the

Warfarin skin necrosis mimicking calciphylaxis in a patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism undergoing peritoneal dialysis

Warfarin skin necrosis (WSN) is an infrequent complication of warfarin treatment and is characterized by painful ulcerative skin lesions that appear a few days after the start of warfarin treatment.Calciphylaxis also appears as painful skin lesions caused by mcclelland reclining sofa tissue injury resulting from localized ischemia caused by calcifi
