Abstract	We review the dimensional check problem of the high-level programming languages, discuss the existing solutions, and come up with a new solution suited for scientific and engineering computations. Then, we introduce Univec, our C++ library designed to make scalar, vector, and matrix operations using units of measurement. Moreover, Univec supports dimensional-aware operations for complex numbers, quaternions, octonions, and sedenions. We provide tables of the relevant functions and operators implemented. Our library was compared with several existing solutions, and the results are shown in the performance section. Finally, we present our future plans for improving the current implementation.

Abstract	A 63-year-old male with a history of hiatal hernia presented with one day of hematemesis and acute peritonitis. Computed tomographic imaging revealed perigastric pneumoperitoneum concerning perforated viscus. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a Type III hiatal hernia with a perforated posterior gastric ulcer, which was reduced and repaired. This report describes a case of acute abdomen secondary to hiatal hernia, a rare presentation of hiatal hernia, along with its surgical management and postoperative care.

Abstract	Despite the effectiveness of occupational therapy home modification interventions, persons with disabilities may not receive them due to service delivery costs, limited number of therapists, and expansive geographic service areas. The need for occupational therapy home modification interventions will increase with the rising U.S. aging population, incidence of chronic illness, and shift toward community-based care. This study examined the feasibility of telehealth occupational therapy home modification interventions using participant owned smart phones, tablets, or computers. A pretest posttest design (n=4) demonstrated improvement in home safety and perception of performance of daily activities. Participants reported satisfaction with the mode of intervention citing ease of use and reduction in client and caregiver burden. Two key implementation challenges were (1) inconsistent quality of synchronous audio and video and (2) limited funding for home modification interventions. A large-scale telehealth occupational therapy home modification interventions pilot study is warranted.

Abstract	Introduction and importance: Low voltage electrical injuries (less than 1000 V) can produce enough tetany to cause fractures, usually of the upper extremities. Simultaneous bilateral fractures of the femoral neck are an extremely rare occurrence. It is even more uncommon for a young healthy male to suffer significant fractures from a low voltage injury. Case presentation: A 25-year-old male attempted suicide by filling a bathtub with water and getting into it prior to dropping a blender into the water. He experienced full body convulsions but remained awake throughout the entire event. In the trauma bay his primary complaints were bilateral hip pain and back pain, without neurologic deficit. Radiological studies confirmed bilateral sub-capital femur fractures and thoracic vertebral fractures (compression fractures of T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T9, and T11). The patient underwent bilateral open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the femurs, while the spine fractures were treated with a thoracic-lumbar-sacral orthosis TLSO brace. Clinical discussion: Low voltage electrical injury is more likely to lead to fractures in patients with chronic renal failure and metabolic conditions such as hypocalcemia, osetomalacia, and osteoporosis. Fractures after low voltage electrical injury are extremely uncommon and a high suspicion for these injuries should be maintained because if missed there is a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: We present a rare case of low voltage electrical injury by 120 V from a domestic US power supply, amplified by water conduction resulting in bilateral femoral neck fractures and vertebral body fractures.

Abstract	Introduction and importance: Pseudoaneurysms secondary to traumatic vessel wall disruption are a rare but potentially fatal complication after traumatic injury. The majority of the cases are found incidentally. Case presentation: An 80-year-old woman was brought into our Level 1 Trauma Center after sustaining a ground-level fall with significant facial swelling. Her imaging revealed an acute traumatic comminuted fracture of the right mandibular condyle and left mandibular ramus. The patient underwent closed maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) to stabilize fractures, and allow the swelling to decrease for definitive fixation. During the definitive procedure, profuse bleeding was encountered. CT angiography evaluation was immediately performed and determined the presence of a left internal maxillary artery pseudoaneurysm which was successfully treated by coil and glue embolization. Clinical discussion: This case highlights an unusual presentation of a vascular injury following major traumatic mandibular fracture and its management. Mandibular fractures have been reported in a series of cases to be a risk factor for vascular injuries. When a vascular injury is suspected, or the evaluation is unclear, surgeons should carefully determine the necessity to perform additional studies like CT angiogram. Vascular injuries secondary to mandibular fractures can be fatal if left unrecognized and untreated. Hence adequate recognition and treatment are warranted to avoid prolonged length of stay with bad outcomes. Conclusion: Optimal management of pseudoaneurysms is achieved by endovascular approach with prior resuscitation and adequate hemodynamic stabilization. Open surgical management is deferred only for those cases where endovascular treatment is not available, or disruption is found intraoperatively.

Abstract	Background: Meningeal arterial injuries represent <1% of all blunt traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Middle meningeal artery (MMA) lesions comprise the majority. However, there is little clinical data on posterior meningeal artery (PMA) injuries. Case report: A 69-year-old man was brought to our trauma center after sustaining a fall inside a warehouse. He was GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) 3 on arrival. Non-contrast CT (computed tomography) brain showed subarachnoid hemorrhage with diffuse cerebral edema and a basilar skull fracture. The patient subsequently underwent emergency ventriculostomy. Immediately after the procedure, further imaging with CTA (computed tomography angiography) head identified a hyperintense posterior cranial fossa lesion, prompting cerebral angiography with identification and embolization of a traumatic PMA pseudoaneurysm. The patient improved and was discharged to a long-term acute care facility. At 3 months post-discharge, the patient was eating, talking with family, and working aggressively with physical therapy. Discussion: This case represents a functional neurologic outcome from a rare subset of TBI. Early CTA head imaging is not supported by limited literature, but allowed for expedient identification and definitive management of this PMA pseudoaneurysm. In the critical care setting, hyperosmolar therapy, CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) drainage, prompt enteral nutritional support, and early tracheostomy all represent evolving evidence-based strategies to optimize care for severe TBI. Conclusions: The initial evaluation and management of severe TBI can be nuanced. Future research may refine indications for CTA head to the diagnostic evaluation of patients with both severe TBI and skull fractures.

Abstract	Cocaine use is rising in persons ≥50 years old and in black and socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Cocaine-induced bowel ischemia and gastrointestinal injury are deadly findings that have been previously described in the literature. In this report, we present a case of small bowel ischemia, perforation, and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage co-occurring in a 62-year-old incarcerated male with a 15-year history of cocaine use. The patient presented from jail, peritonitic in septic shock, and was promptly taken for emergent surgical exploration. He was found to have massive fecal peritonitis secondary to full-thickness ischemia and perforation of the jejunum and ileum. Immediately postoperatively, the patient developed a large volume of hemorrhage from multiple gastric and duodenal ulcers refractory to endoscopic intervention, ultimately requiring emergent embolization of the gastroduodenal artery. His course was further complicated by severe septic shock with a blunted response to catecholamine vasopressors. Early recognition and aggressive treatment of the gastrointestinal complications and the unique critical care challenges associated with cocaine use facilitated this patient's eventual full recovery.

Abstract	Previous data breaches that occurred in the mobility sector, such as Uber's data leakage in 2016, lead to privacy concerns over confidentiality and the potential abuse of customer data. To protect customer privacy, location-based service (LBS) providers may have the motivation to adopt privacy preservation mechanisms, such as obfuscating data from vehicles or mobile through a trusted data server. However, the efforts for protecting privacy might be in conflict with those for detecting malicious behaviors or misbehaviors by drivers. The reason is that the accuracy of data about vehicle locations and trajectory is crucial in determining whether a vehicle trip is fabricated by adversaries, especially when machine learning methods are adopted by LBS for this purpose. This paper tackles this dilemma situation by evaluating the tradeoff between location privacy and security. Specifically, vehicle trips are obfuscated with 2D Laplace noise that meets the requirement of differential privacy. The obfuscated vehicle trips are then fed into a benchmark Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that is widely used for detecting anomalous trips. This allows us to investigate the influence of the privacy-preservation technique on model performance. The experiment results suggest that applying Laplace mechanism to achieve high-level of differential privacy in the context of location-based vehicle trips will result in low true-positive or high false-negative rate by the RNN, which is reflected in the area under the curve scores (less than 0.7), which diminishes the value of RNN as more anomalous trips will be classified as normal ones.

Abstract	Background: Biopsy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of hepatic steatosis, the leading cause of pediatric chronic liver disease; however, its costs call for less invasive methods. Objective: This study examined the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) for the assessment of liver fat content in a pediatric population, using magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) as the reference standard. Materials and methods: We enrolled 36 patients. MRI-PDFF involved a 3-dimensional T2-weighted with Dixon pulse multiple-echo sequence using iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least squares estimation (IDEAL IQ). QUS imaging relied on the ultrasound system "RS85 A" (Samsung Medison, Seoul, South Korea) and the following software: Hepato-Renal Index with automated region of interest recommendation (EzHRI), Tissue Attenuation Imaging (TAI), and Tissue Scatter Distribution Imaging (TSI). For each QUS index, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis against MRI-PDFF was used to identify the associated cut-off value and the area under the ROC curve (AUROC). Concordance between two radiologists was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman analysis. Results:* A total of 61.1% of the sample (n=22) displayed a MRI-PDFF ≥ 5.6%; QUS cut-off values were TAI=0.625 (AUROC 0.90, confidence interval [CI] 0.77-1.00), TSI=91.95 (AUROC 0.99, CI 0.98-1.00) and EzHRI=1.215 (AUROC 0.98, CI 0.94-1.00). Inter-rater reliability was good-to-excellent for EzHRI (ICC 0.91, 95% C.I. 0.82-0.95) and TAI (ICC 0.94, 95% C.I. 0.88-0.97) and moderate to good for TSI (ICC 0.73; 95% C.I. 0.53-0.85). Conclusion: Our results suggest that QUS can be used to reliably assess the presence and degree of pediatric hepatic steatosis.
