Abstract Purpose The primary objective of this study was to gauge resident and faculty sentiments surrounding a general surgery program merger between two programs, and to assess the effect on workplace morale and productivity.Secondarily, the authors sought to objectively examine the impact program expansion had on in-service training exam results

Introduction.Surgical treatment of vulvar cancer (VC) entails mental and somatic disturbances due to pain, body image changes, and sexual dysfunction, which are closely associated with impaired social functioning and reduced overall quality of life.However, the results evaluating the impact of rehabilitation programmes on various components of qual

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have emerged as a hardware efficient architecture for classification tasks.The challenge of spike-based encoding has been the lack of a universal training mechanism performed entirely using spikes.There have been several attempts to adopt the powerful backpropagation (BP) technique used in non-spiking artificial neura
