Obstacle detection is the basis for the Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) to take obstacle avoidance measures. However, it is a very essential and challenging task to detect unexpected obstacles on the road. To this end, an unexpected obstacl...
In recent years, when an older driver who cannot immediately recognize, judge, and operate properly faces an unexpected situation, they often panic, which may cause a traffic accident. However, there has not yet been enough discussion about the copin...
Unexplained and unexpected pediatric deaths are a major challenge in global healthcare. The role of the forensic pathologist is crucial in determining the cause and manner of death in these cases, although to date, there are many limitations in post-...
The purpose of this paper is to approach the way investors perceive the risk associated with unexpected environmental disasters. For that reason, we examine certain types of natural and technological disasters, also known as “na-tech”. Ba...
Sudden unexpected death (SUD) is a fatal event that occurs in an apparently healthy subject in a way that such an abrupt outcome could have not been predicted. SUD—including sudden intrauterine unexplained death (SIUD), sudden neonatal unexpect...

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is defined as the sudden death of a patient with epilepsy in the absence of an anatomic or toxicologic cause. Whether pregnancy is a risk factor for SUDEP is unclear. Using data submitted to the Japan Assoc...
Background: Sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) may occasionally be attributable to neoplasms that were clinically unrecognised before the terminal event and diagnosed or confirmed during post-mortem investigation. These occult neoplasms are ex...
(1) Background: The study’s purpose was to explore the knowledge, perceptions, and confidence of mothers about infant care to reduce the risk of sudden unexpected infant death. (2) Methods: A purposeful sampling method was used to recruit 15 fi...
Background and Objectives: to evaluate whether a set of questions after a routine cataract surgery can predict unexpected findings and avoid an unnecessary follow-up visit. Materials and Methods: single-center, prospective, cohort study included 177...
A retrospective study was conducted on pathologically diagnosed arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) from consecutive cases over the past 34 years (n = 1109). The anatomo-pathological analyses were performed on 23 hearts diagnosed as ACM (2.07%) from...
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a diagnostic challenge in forensic medicine. In a relatively large proportion of the SCDs, the deaths remain unexplained after autopsy. This challenge is likely caused by unknown disease mechanisms. Changes in DNA methyl...
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the major cause of death in sudden unexpected death (SUD) cases. Tryptophan (TRP) and its metabolites are correlated with the CHD patient but less studies in the SUD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relations...
Sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) remains a major challenge in pediatric pathology and forensic medicine. Despite advances in diagnostic techniques, many cases are still classified as unexplained and labeled as sudden infant death syndrome (S...
Actinium-225 (225Ac) is a promising radionuclide used in targeted alpha therapy (TAT). Although 225Ac labeling of bifunctional chelating ligands is effective, previous in vivo studies reported that free 225Ac can be released from the drugs and that s...
Background/Objectives: Sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) is a rare but catastrophic event affecting apparently healthy neonates during the first days of life. Therapeutic hypothermia has been increasingly applied in this setting due to path...
Introduction The Kasai procedure in children with biliary atresia (BA) is associated with several complications in the short-term. The Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI®) is a validated metric in adult surgery for the analysis of complication...
The wide occurrence of resistance to Cry1A and Cry2A insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) in the corn earworm/bollworm Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) leaves the Vip3A toxin produced during the vegetative stage of Bt as the only fully active...
Background: According to the latest practice committee document, in vitro maturation (IVM) is a simple and safe procedure, especially in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Does switching from in vitro fertilization (IVF) to IVM (IVF/M) h...
Background: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) causes significant mortality, affecting approximately 1 in 1000 people with epilepsy. Clinical and preclinical studies have identified severe seizures, bradycardia, apnea, severe postictal hypox...
We report five cases of sudden intrauterine death due to premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. In four cases, this was caused by dissecting the hematoma of the ductus arteriosus with intimal flap and obliteration of the lumen. In one case, the...
Nowadays, managers are facing the challenge of operating in situations of high uncertainty: delayed deliveries, lack of energy or rising energy and gas costs, the need to replace energy sources, and changing supply and sales markets. In the literatur...
Background: Treatment of failed osteosynthesis of fractures of the proximal humerus with one-stage or two-stage surgery is difficult and clinical results are poor. The aim of this work is to evaluate the microbiological positivity of devices removed...
Electronic Prescribing tools (e-prescribing) have shown several benefits in terms of prescribing process adequacy and health care quality in hospital settings. We hypothesize however, that an undesired effect of digitalisation, due to the easier and...
As key emergency equipment, high-flow pump devices play a vital role in urban flood control and drainage, and their hydraulic performance directly influences the safety and stability of the entire system. To meet diverse drainage demands during emerg...
