TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed the Generative Adversarial Network based Artistic Textual Visualization (GAN-ATV) which can create paintings after analyzing the semantic content of existing poems.
Abstract: While the visualization of statistical data tends to a mature technology, the visualization of textual data is still in its infancy, especially for the artistic text. Due to the fact that visualization of artistic text is valuable and attractive in both art and information science, we attempt to realize this tentative idea in this article. We propose the Generative Adversarial Network based Artistic Textual Visualization (GAN-ATV) which can create paintings after analyzing the semantic content of existing poems. Our GAN-ATV consists of two main sections: natural language analysis section and visual information synthesis section. In natural language analysis section, we use Bag-of-Word (BoW) feature descriptors and a two-layer network to mine and analyze the high-level semantic information from poems. In visual information synthesis section, we design a cross-modal semantic understanding module and integrate it with Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to create paintings, whose content are corresponding to the original poems. Moreover, in order to train our GAN-ATV and verify its performance, we establish a cross-modal artistic dataset named "Cross-Art". In the Cross-Art dataset, there are six topics and each topic has their corresponding paintings and poems. The experimental results on Cross-Art dataset are shown in this article.

TL;DR: 2 types of abdominal wall defects, gastroschisis and omphalocele are discussed, an understanding of the similarities and differences in these complex defects assists the WOC nurse to care for these patients and their families.
Abstract: Management of the newborn with an abdominal wall defect presents multiple challenges for the WOC nurse. This article discusses 2 types of abdominal wall defects, gastroschisis and omphalocele. An understanding of the similarities and differences in these complex defects assists the WOC nurse to care for these patients and their families.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the shortened LOS did not adversely influence the medical or functional outcome from lumbar discectomy but that there appeared to be a shift of the burden of care to the postoperative outpatient setting.
Abstract: With the accelerated development of managed care systems in the 1990s, physician practices experienced curtailed authorization for length of stay (LOS) for in-patient care. Using lumbar discectomy (CPT 63030) as a surgical model, we reviewed records of patients from 1994 and 1996 as these two years were within the period of accelerated managed care penetration in our state. The Chi Square and Fisher Exact tests were used to explore statistical significance and differences in population characteristics, management and outcome in the two years. Factors including age, sex, associated medical conditions, other presenting symptoms and signs, cause of disc herniation, and duration of symptoms were not significantly different. We demonstrated that the shortened LOS did not adversely influence the medical or functional outcome from lumbar discectomy but that there appeared to be a shift of the burden of care to the postoperative outpatient setting. Functional outcome was not significantly different between the two years when assessed by either Prolo Outcome or return-to-work rate. These findings were corroborated with a more recent review of patients operated upon in 2000. As spinal surgery grows in complexity, managed care companies should initiate programs that routinely assist physician offices in accelerating postoperative rehabilitation. In addition, as emphasis grows for evaluation and management services, surgical outcome studies should document the intensity of postoperative management to document better the overall nonoperative care that surrounds any spinal surgery.
