Minimising complications in abdominoplasty: An approach based on the root cause analysis and focused preventive steps by Mohan Rangaswamy

“…The root cause of each complication is analysed and preventive steps are suggested based on the literature and the author′s own personal series with very low complication rates. Proper case selection, risk stratified prophylaxis of thromboembolism, initial synchronous liposuction, flap elevation at the Scarpa fascia level, discontinuous incremental flap dissection, vascular preservation and obliteration of the sub-flap space by multiple sutures emerge as the strongest preventive factors. …”

Discovering the backbone network with a novel designed ant colony algorithm by Fang LYU, Jun BAI, Junheng HUANG, Bailing WANG

“…Forthe problem that in interactive network,the illegal and abnormal behaviors were becoming more hidden,moreover,the complex relation in real interactive network heightens the difficulty of detecting anomalous entities,an ant colony model was proposed for extracting the backbone network from the complex interactive network.The novel model simulated the relationships among entities based on the theory of path optimization,reduced the network size after quantifying the significance of each flow of information.Firstly,a strategy of initial location selection was proposed taking advantage of network centrality.Secondly,a novel path transfer mechanism was devised for the ant colony to fit the flow behavior of entities.Finally,an adaptive and dynamic pheromone update mechanism was designed for guiding the optimization of information flows.The experimental results show that the proposed model is superior to the traditional ant colony algorithm in both solving quality and solving performance,and has better coverage and accuracy than the greedy algorithm.…”
