Among the challenges terrapins encounter are habitat loss due to coastal development and sea-level rise, mortality at all life stages by mammalian and avian predators, road mortality, boat strikes, harvest for the pet trade, and drowning in crab traps. The primary objective of this study was to locate populations and nesting areas of diamondback terrapins […]

There were 83,083 knee arthroscopic procedures between 2012 and 2017 obtained from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. The overall readmission rate was 0.87%. The complication rates were highest for synovectomy and cartilage procedures, 1.6% and 1.3% respectively. A majority of readmissions were related to the procedure (71.1%) with wound complications being the primary […]

Using spectral frequency analysis and visualization techniques on pediatric electroencephalogram recordings, we identify a method of detecting seizures thirty seconds before seizure onset by identifying significant preictal locations and their respective frequencies within the gamma band of 30 through 100 Hz. Using average log-power differences and visualization techniques to identify significant preictal patterns, intractable seizures […]
