Close Range Gun Shot Injury Bilateral Ruptured Testis Repair Using Tunica Vaginalis Flap

Abstract This study documents the formation and evolution of secondary vortices associated within a large, violent tornado in Oklahoma based on data from a close-range, mobile, polarimetric, rapid-scan, X-band Doppler radar. Secondary vortices were tracked relative to the parent circulation using data collected every 2 s. It was found that most long-lived vortices (those that could be tracked for ≥15 s) formed within the radius of maximum wind (RMW), mainly in the left-rear quadrant (with respect to parent tornado motion), passing around the center of the parent tornado and dissipating closer to the center in the right-forward and left-forward quadrants. Some secondary vortices persisted for at least 1 min. When a Burgers–Rott vortex is fit to the Doppler radar data, and the vortex is assumed to be axisymmetric, the secondary vortices propagated slowly against the mean azimuthal flow; if the vortex is not assumed to be axisymmetric as a result of a strong rear-flank gust front on one side of it, then the secondary vortices moved along approximately with the wind.

Unmanned aerial vehicles are currently the most used solution for cultural heritage in the field of close range and low altitude acquisitions. This work shows data acquired by multitemporal and multispectral aerial surveys in the archaeological site of San Vincenzo al Volturno (Molise, Italy). The site is one of the most important medieval archaeological sites in the world. It is a monastic settlement that was particularly rich during the early Middle Ages, and is famous for its two full-frescoed crypts which represent a milestone in the history of medieval art. Thanks to the use of multispectral aerial photography at different times of the year, an area not accessible to archaeological excavation has been investigated. To avoid redundancy of information and reduce the number of data to be analysed, a method based on spectral and radiometric enhancement techniques combined with a selective principal component analysis was used for the identification of useful information. The combination of already published archaeological data and new remote sensing discoveries, has allowed to better define the situation of the abbey during the building phases of the 8th/9th century and 11th century, confirming and adding new data to the assumptions made by archaeologists.

Penetrating abdominal injuries, especially from gun shot wounds, are a common occurrence in South African hospitals, and a vast majority of these patient receive surgical intervention for suspected intra-abdominal injuries. Not all bullets are found and removed however, and we detail the case of a gentleman who presented to our institution with obstructive jaundice secondary to an extraluminal compression of his biliary tree by a retained migrated bullet, that spontaneously resolved, without any surgical intervention.

AbstractMotorboat noise is recognized as a major source of marine pollution, however little is known about its ecological consequences on coastal systems. We developed a State Space Model (SSM) that incorporates an explicit dependency on motorboat noise to derive its effects on the movement of resident fish that transition between two behavioural states (swimming vs. hidden). To explore the performance of our model, we carried out an experiment where free-living Serranus scriba were tracked with acoustic tags, while motorboat noise was simultaneously recorded. We fitted the generated tracking and noise data into our SSM and explored if the noise generated by motorboats passing at close range affected the movement pattern and the probability of transition between the two states using a Bayesian approach. Our results suggest high among individual variability in movement patterns and transition between states, as well as in fish response to the presence of passing motorboats. These findings suggest that the effects of motorboat noise on fish movement are complex and require the precise monitoring of large numbers of individuals. Our SSM provides a methodology to address such complexity and can be used for future investigations to study the effects of noise pollution on marine fish.

Air Gun Pellet

Abstract Introduction Low-velocity penetrating brain injury is not prevalent. In some conditions such as childhood, and with the penetration of a pellet in weak spots of skull, low-velocity penetrating brain injury is expected; however, high-velocity projectiles have also been reported as the cause of severe brain injuries. One of the complications of penetrating brain injury is infection, in which different types of microorganisms play a role. The Streptococcus genus is the leading cause of abscess formation in non-traumatic patients. Multiple brain abscesses are not common. Case Presentation A 10-year-old boy with penetrating brain injury caused by an air gun pellet, who developed signs and symptoms of high intracranial pressure 18 days after the trauma. After the imaging scans and the detection of multiple brain abscesses and severe brain edema, prompt surgical intervention was performed for all three lesions in a single operation. The culture of a pus specimen was positive for Streptococcus species, and, with adequate antibiotic therapy, the patient was discharged from the hospital in good condition. Conclusion Brain injury with air gun shot is not prevalent. The penetration of a low-velocity air gun pellet in weak points of the skull (such as the orbit, the squamous portion of the temporal bone, and the cranial suture), specially in children, can cause significant brain injuries.

Multimodal Images

Multimodal images fusion has the potential to enrich the information gathered by multi-sensor plant phenotyping platforms. Fusion of images from multiple sources is, however, hampered by the technical lock of image registration. The aim of this paper is to provide a solution to the registration and fusion of multimodal wheat images in field conditions and at close range. Eight registration methods were tested on nadir wheat images acquired by a pair of red, green and blue (RGB) cameras, a thermal camera and a multispectral camera array. The most accurate method, relying on a local transformation, aligned the images with an average error of 2 mm but was not reliable for thermal images. More generally, the suggested registration method and the preprocesses necessary before fusion (plant mask erosion, pixel intensity averaging) would depend on the application. As a consequence, the main output of this study was to identify four registration-fusion strategies: (i) the REAL-TIME strategy solely based on the cameras’ positions, (ii) the FAST strategy suitable for all types of images tested, (iii) and (iv) the ACCURATE and HIGHLY ACCURATE strategies handling local distortion but unable to deal with images of very different natures. These suggestions are, however, limited to the methods compared in this study. Further research should investigate how recent cutting-edge registration methods would perform on the specific case of wheat canopy.
