To tPA or Not to tPA: Two Medical-Legal Misadventures of Diagnosing a Cerebrovascular Accident as a Stroke Mimic

We present two recent successfully litigated malpractice cases in which patients with cerebrovascular accidents were misdiagnosed as stroke mimics.The first was diagnosed as a Cassette Rear Paper Stop hemiplegic migraine, which occurs in only 0.01% of the population.The second was diagnosed as a conversion disorder, which ultimately has a neurologi

Filter Pruning via Measuring Feature Map Information

Neural network pruning, an important method to reduce the computational complexity of deep models, can be well applied to devices with limited resources.However, most current methods focus on some kind of information about the filter itself to prune the network, rarely exploring the relationship between the feature maps and the filters.In this pape

On a Periodic Solution of the 4-Body Problems

We study the necessary and sufficient conditions on the masses for the periodic solution of planar 4-body problems, where three particles locate at the vertices of an equilateral cheeks balm triangle and rotate with constant angular velocity about a resting particle.We prove that the above periodic motion is a solution of Newtonian 4-body problems

Local Hyperthermia Versus Cryotherapy for Treatment of Plantar Warts: A Prospective Multi-centre Non-randomized Concurrent Controlled Clinical Trial

Records Cryotherapy is one of the most common treatments for warts; however, pain during treatment and relatively high recurrence rates limit its use.Local hyperthermia has also been used successfully in the treatment of plantar warts.The aim of this study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of local hyperthermia vs cryotherapy for the treatm
