Drug treatment of limb frostbite injuries is complicated due to the poor delivery of medications to affected tissues. External rewarming of the frostbitten area is risky and does not always result in positive outcomes because the dilatation of superficial vessels with constricted deep vessels can lead to irreversible damage, necrosis, and amputation. One of the techniques to restore perfusion of deep vessels in an affected extremity is rewarming with low-power microwave radiation in a specially designed metal chamber. Below are findings following treatment of 14 volunteers with this technique in 2 Tomsk hospitals during winters of 2018–2021. It is demonstrated that timely, i.e. in the early reactive period, application of microwave radiation and appropriate supportive drug treatment results in positive amputation-free outcomes. The key requirement is prompt thermal insulation of the trauma and no prior exposure to external heat sources.
Abstract. Microservices architecture, where application is composed of a set of independently deployable services is a popular modern approach for building enterprise-level applications, meanwhile most of the cloud solutions for control software (including IoT) are designed in so called monolithic way. LXC-based (docker) microservices allow developers to seamlessly migrate current software solutions from VMs to containers. Nowadays, such container-based applications are used primarily for simple semi-automated deployments, when containers are deployed only at the launch time of the whole system and modified when needed. In this paper we analyze application of docker-microservices as functional blocks for control software, propose on-demand tenant-oriented microservices approach (where entire independent topologies of microservices are being deployed on per-tenant basis) for building clouds of control software, review requirements for management system of such cloud and investigate contemporary container-management systems. Constructed test cluster highlighted some disadvantages of Kubernetes regarding multi-tenant container administration. Advanced Container Management System (AMS) is designed as one more level of orchestration on top of Kubernetes. Conducted demo showed practical value and flexibility of the introduced tenant-oriented microservices method. Described design will be helpful for cloud providers of control software who want to organize elastic on-demand service provisioning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
