Event-triggered fault detection for discrete-time LPV systems by Golabi, Arash

“…Toward this goal, based on the concept of input-to-state stability, a new formulation is presented to satisfy the H- performance measures and for each performance index, sufficient conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities problems. It is shown that through two event-triggered data transmission mechanisms, the amount of data sent to the fault detection module is decreased significantly. …”

National trends of outcomes in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) through transapical versus endovascular approach: From the National Inpatient Sample (NIS). by Abugroun, Ashraf

“…Among the endovascular-TAVR group, national trends showed a diminishing incidence of procedural mortality (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.77; 95% CI: 0.72-0.84, p < 0.001), stroke (IRR 0.80; 95% CI: 0.73-0.87, p < 0.001), and all secondary outcomes, but no significant change in myocardial infarction. In contrast, most transapical-TAVR related procedural complications remained unchanged over time, except for a significant decrease in stroke, acute respiratory failure and need for pacemaker insertion. …”
