Abstract Background One potential source of error in phase contrast (PC) congenital CMR flow measurements is caused by phase offsets due to local non-compensated eddy currents.Phantom correction of these phase offset errors has been shown to result in more accurate measurements of blood flow in adults with structurally normal hearts.We report the e

Abstract Background Patients who engage in Advance Care Planning (ACP) are more likely to get care consistent with their values.We sought to determine the barriers and facilitators to ACP engagement after discharge from hospital.Methods Prior to discharge from hospital eligible patients received a standardized conversation about prognosis and ACP.E

This paper proposes a sliding mode synchronous control approach to enhance the position synchronization performance and anti-interference capability of a double lifting point hydraulic hoist.Building upon the cross-coupling synchronous control method, a coupling sliding mode surface is formulated, incorporating the single-cylinder following error a
