The Use of Live Streaming Technologies in Surgery: A Review of the Literature.

Live streaming surgery is a developing communication platform in medicine. To maximize the technological advances that allow for the live streaming of surgery, it is crucial to have an understanding of the various video-capturing devices that are available and their pros and cons of implementation. Possible barriers to the widespread use of live streaming surgery include cost, concerns about patient safety and privacy, and limited understanding of the current available resources. In this article, we present the results of our literature review of techniques for live streaming of surgery as a means to inform readers and promote their implementation. We conducted a literature review of the literature to identify previous articles indexed in PubMed and Ovid. We used the following search terms: [Surgery AND Streaming], which generated 32 articles for initial review. References were reviewed within each document to find similar articles that were not captured by the initial search. The article selection criteria were peer-reviewed publications, case reports, and case series describing the use of live surgical streaming technologies. Literature review showed enhanced surgeon interaction with viewers and improved anatomy scores with the widespread use of live streaming. Surgeons reported positive feedback and wished to engage in more sessions in the future. The largest barriers to implementation of streaming technology are video quality through the Internet and patient information protection. Live streaming of surgery for educational purposes has not been widely accepted in surgical training programs to date. Streaming accessibility has advanced over the past 2 decades with the availability of handheld mobile devices. However, little has been done to allow for live streaming of surgery to trainees in a manner compliant with the Health Portability Insurance and Accountability Act.

Content dependent spatial resolution selection for MPEG DASH segmentation

The need for standardization emerged with the fast development of video streaming technologies. MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (MPEG DASH) is a standard for adaptive video streaming. Applications developed in compliance with MPEG DASH ensure smooth playback to end-users while being hardware agnostic, cost-efficient, and easy to maintain. The client side of the MPEG DASH system houses the adaptation logic which has been investigated intensively over the last several years. The server side stores representation sets of video sequences as well as accompanying Media Presentation Description and initialization file. Compared to the client side, the server side has not been yet sufficiently explored.Although there are some papers investigating the parameter selection for representation sets, most solutions are proprietary, do not take into account the content, and do not give the comprehensive methodology and its notation that can be applied to other codecs and encoder parameters. Also, most of the currently available solutions are costly and require large computational power. This article provides a comprehensive analysis and methodology for selecting the most appropriate spatial resolution switching points, which define the bitrates where switching to the higher spatial resolution is optimal. Furthermore, it presents a spatial resolution selection model for the estimation of switching points, which considers the spatial and temporal activity of video sequences. With the developed model, the optimal representation selection process is simplified and the segmentation process in MPEG DASH is improved. The methodology proposed for the development of this content-dependent spatial resolution selection model can be used for encoders and coding parameters not covered by the presented research.Quality of the video sequences segmentation using the proposed switching points were tested using two different test cases for network conditions and two different adaptation algorithms: Basic Adaptation algorithm and Segment Aware Rate Adaptation algorithm. The streamed videos that used the proposed segmentation have achieved better SSIM (Structural Similarity Index) results in 83.33% of cases in comparison to the videos that used segmentation presented in the relevant literature.

An automated model for the assessment of QoE of adaptive video streaming over wireless networks

Nowadays, heterogeneous devices are widely utilizing Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to transfer the data. Furthermore, HTTP adaptive video streaming (HAS) technology transmits the video data over wired and wireless networks. In adaptive technology services, a client’s application receives a streaming video through the adaptation of its quality to the network condition. However, such a technology has increased the demand for Quality of Experience (QoE) in terms of prediction and assessment. It can also cause a challenging behavior regarding subjective and objective QoE evaluations of HTTP adaptive video over time since each Quality of Service (QoS) parameter affects the QoE of end-users separately. This paper introduces a methodology design for the evaluation of subjective QoE in adaptive video streaming over wireless networks. Besides, some parameters are considered such as video characteristics, segment length, initial delay, switch strategy, stalls, as well as QoS parameters. The experiment’s evaluation demonstrated that objective metrics can be mapped to the most significant subjective parameters for user’s experience. The automated model could function to demonstrate the importance of correlation for network behaviors’ parameters. Consequently, it directly influences the satisfaction of the end-user’s perceptual quality. In comparison with other recent related works, the model provided a positive Pearson Correlation value. Simulated results give a better performance between objective Structural Similarity (SSIM) and subjective Mean Opinion Score (MOS) evaluation metrics for all video test samples.

Benefits of Bilateral Hearing on the Telephone for Cochlear Implant Recipients.

Cochlear implant (CI) recipients frequently experience difficulty understanding speech over the telephone and rely on hearing assistive technology (HAT) to improve performance. Bilateral inter-processor audio streaming technology using nearfield magnetic induction is an advanced technology incorporated within a hearing aid or CI processor that can deliver telephone audio signals captured at one sound processor to the sound processor at the opposite ear. To date, limited data exist examining the efficacy of this technology in CI users to improve speech understanding on the telephone. The primary objective of this study was to examine telephone speech recognition outcomes in bilateral CI recipients in a bilateral inter-processor audio streaming condition (DuoPhone) compared with a monaural condition (i.e., telephone listening with one sound processor) in quiet and in background noise. Outcomes in the monaural and bilateral conditions using either a telecoil or T-Mic2 technology were also assessed. The secondary aim was to examine how deactivating microphone input in the contralateral processor in the bilateral wireless streaming conditions, and thereby modifying the signal-to-noise ratio, affected speech recognition in noise. A repeated-measures design was used to evaluate speech recognition performance in quiet and competing noise with the telephone signal transmitted acoustically or via the telecoil to the ipsilateral sound processor microphone in monaural and bilateral wireless streaming listening conditions. Nine bilateral CI users with Advanced Bionics HiRes 90K and/or CII devices were included in the study. The effects of phone input (monaural [DuoPhone Off] vs. bilateral [DuoPhone on]) and processor input (T-Mic2 vs. telecoil) on word recognition in quiet and noise were assessed using separate repeated-measures analysis of variance. Effect of the contralateral device mic deactivation on speech recognition outcomes for the T-Mic2 DuoPhone conditions was assessed using paired Student's t-tests. Telephone speech recognition was significantly better in the bilateral inter-processor streaming conditions relative to the monaural conditions in both quiet and noise. Speech recognition outcomes were similar in quiet and noise when using the T-Mic2 and telecoil in the monaural and bilateral conditions. For the acoustic DuoPhone conditions using the T-Mic2, speech recognition in noise was significantly better when the microphone of the contralateral processor was disabled. Inter-processor audio streaming allows for bilateral listening on the telephone and produces better speech recognition in quiet and in noise compared with monaural listening conditions for adult CI recipients.
