Abstract Purpose To reduce radiation doses to the tongue, a patient-specific semi-customized tongue displacement device (SCTDD) was developed using a 3D printer (3DP) for head and neck (H&N) radiation therapy (RT).Dosimetric characteristics of the SCTDD were compared with those of a standard mouthpiece (SMP).Materials and methods The SCTDD consists
The primary challenge is to design feedback controls that enable robots to autonomously reach predetermined destinations while avoiding collisions with obstacles and other robots.Various control algorithms, such as the control barrier function-based quadratic programming (CBF-QP) controller, address collision avoidance problems.Control barrier func
Aortopulmonary window (APW) is an extremely rare cardiac malformation accounting for 0.2-0.6% of all congenital heart defects.In an acyanotic patient with clinical evidence of patent ductus arteriosus with large left to right shoes shunts and systolic rather than continuous murmur one should keep in mind the possibility of APW.If not treated early
