Over the past few decades, digital technologies for health care have been introduced to improve effectiveness, reduce costs, and enhance access [1]. The case for digital health care increased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic [2,3]. However, less is known about some of the broader conditions under which these technologies would be able to contribute to improving health care [4]. To inform

Self-Adaptive Systems (SAS) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) have received significant attention in recent computer engineering research. This is due to their ability to improve the level of autonomy of engineering artefacts. In both cases, this autonomy increase is achieved through feedback. Feedback is the iteration of sens- ing and actuation to respectively acquire knowledge about the current s

Bakgrund: Klimakteriet är en fas som drabbar kvinnor mitt i livet med varierande symtom. Kvinnorna upplever klimakteriet olika beroende på kvinnans bakgrund, erfarenhet, kultur och sociala kontext. Klimakteriet är inte ett område som har så stort fokus i utbildningen till distriktssköterska, men som är ett viktigt område för den verksamma distriktssköterskan, utifrån hur vanliga symtomen på klimak

Transfusion-related acute lung injury is a leading cause of death associated with the use of blood products. Transfusion-related acute lung injury is a diagnosis of exclusion which can be difficult to identify during surgery amid the various physiologic and pathophysiologic changes associated with the perioperative period. As anesthesiologists supervise delivery of a large portion of inpatient pre

PURPOSE: We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate long-term outcomes of epilepsy surgery in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in a Swedish population.METHODS: Demographic and seizure data was retrieved from the Swedish National Epilepsy Surgery Registry and medical records. Patient reported outcome measurements (PROM) were determined by telephonic interviews at long term follow-up.RESULTS:

The Storage Location Assignment Problem (SLAP) is of primary significance to warehouse operations sincethe cost of order-picking is strongly related to where and how far vehicles have to travel. Unfortunately, ageneralized model of the SLAP, including various warehouse layouts, order-picking methodologies andconstraints, poses a highly intractable problem. Proposed optimization methods for the SLA

ObjectivesTo show feasibility of synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images generated using a commerciallyavailable software, enabling MRI-only treatment planning for the brain in a clinical setting.Patients and Methods20 and 16 patients with brain malignancies, including post-surgical cases, were included for validationand treatment, respectively. Dixon MR images of the skull were exported to the

In the recent past, social media has gradually evolved from a platfrom for communication and personal exchange to a space where contemporary consumer desires are awakened, directed, and also fulfilled. Instagram, in particular, is one of the social media platforms that has made specific design decisions to combine the social and entertaining aspects of the native, virtual social media experience w

Abstract på portugisiska As línguas diferem umas das outras em relação a se, e, como, elas categorizam nomes a partir de critérios lexicais e gramaticais específicos. Um exemplo bastante estudado é a distinção entre nomes contáveis e massivos, que divide os nomes de acordo com sua capacidade de serem contados ou medidos. Comparações entre as línguas sobre esse sistema de categorização nominal mostLanguages differ with respect to if and how they categorize their nouns based on specific lexical or grammatical criteria. A well-studied example is the mass/count distinction, which groups nouns according to their ability to be counted or measured. Cross-linguistic comparison on this noun-categorization system provided evidence that the mass/count distinction is not a reflection of pre-linguistic

It has been very difficult to predict the development of the COVID-19 pandemic based on mathematical models for the spread of infectious diseases, and due to major non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs), it is still unclear to what extent the models would have fit reality in a “do nothing” scenario. To shed light on this question, the case of Sweden during the time frame from autumn 2020 to spri

Introduction and Aims: Up to 80% of adolescents have experienced trauma and one-in-seven suffer from post­ traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For 50% of these adoles­cents, the course of their illness is further complicated by a co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD). Despite high rates of comorbidity, treatment options remain sparse and there is limited understanding of the clinical profile ass

Substance use and mental health disorders commonly co-occur and they are frequently underpinned by history of psychological trauma. This symposium presents new data on the clinical presentation and documentation of trauma exposure, trauma-related disorders, and their treatment among adults entering substance use treatment, the implementation of integrated trauma-focused therapy in substance use tr
