BARRIERS TO PERFORMING SOFT TISSUE RECONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES AMONG ORTHOPEDIC SURGEONS IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES: RESULTS OF A SURGICAL SKILLS TRAINING COURSE

Barriers to Performing Soft Tissue Reconstruction Procedures among Orthopedic Surgeons in Low- and Middle-income Countries: Results of a Surgical Skills Training Course

Background:.Appropriate management of soft tissue injury associated with orthopedic trauma is challenging in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to the lack of available reconstructive surgeons.The Surgical Management and Reconstructive Training (SMART) course teaches orthopedic surgeons reconstructive techniques aimed at improving soft ti

Neural Network Based Model Predictive Control for a Quadrotor UAV

A dynamic model that considers both linear and complex nonlinear effects extensively benefits the model-based controller development.However, predicting a detailed aerodynamic model with good accuracy for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is challenging due to their irregular shape and low Reynolds number behavior.This work proposes an approach to mo

Generation of heterozygous (MCRIi030-A-1) and homozygous (MCRIi030-A-2) NR2F2/COUP-TFII knockout human iPSC lines

The NR2F2 gene encodes the transcription factor COUP-TFII, which is upregulated in embryonic mesoderm.Heterozygous variants in NR2F2 cause a spectrum of congenital anomalies including cardiac and gonadal phenotypes.We generated heterozygous (MCRIi030-A-1) and homozygous (MCRIi030-A-2) NR2F2-knockout induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines 2004 h
