Background: The efficacy of tranexamic acid to decrease post-operative blood loss and blood transfusion is well established in literature.However, the ideal mode of administration is debatable.Limited literature has compared all the available modes of administration including intravenous (IV), topical irrigation and retrograde through drain.We hypo

Engineering Cyber-physical information gathering and utilizing systems(CIGUS) presents the systems engineer with a difficult, multi-criterion, multi-objective decision problem.Research, development and design is done over many disciplines, across many domains, each with their specific models.Systems engineers are expected to provide a common level

Connections between the resource theories of coherence and purity (or non-uniformity) are well known for discrete-variable, finite-dimensional, quantum systems.We establish analogous results for continuous-variable (CV) systems, in particular Gaussian Home Decor systems.To this end, we define the concept of maximal coherence at fixed energy, which

BackgroundRecurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) poses significant clinical challenges, with 32.3% developing to chronic pancreatitis within 5 years.The underlying microbial factors contributing to RAP remain poorly understood.This study aims to identify blood microbial signatures associated with RAP and explore the potential microbial predictors for R
