Background Patients dealing with severe mental illnesses (SMI) often face suboptimal clinical outcomes and higher mortality rates due to a range of factors, including undetected physical health conditions. The provision of care for individuals with SMI is frequently disjointed, as they engage with diverse healthcare providers. Despite this fragmentation, primary care, particularly general practitioners ...

Background: Data on the proportion of venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk attributed to prothrombotic genotypes in men and women are limited.<p> <p>Objectives: We aimed to estimate the population attributable fraction (PAF) of VTE for recognized, common prothrombotic genotypes in men and women using a populationbased case cohort. <p>Methods: Cases with incident VTE (n = 1493) and a randomly sampled ...

There are specific construction operations that require weather forecast data to make short-term decisions regarding construction; however, most resource-related decision making and all project management plans must be carried out to anticipate weather conditions beyond the capabilities of the currently available forecasting technologies. In this study, a series of single- and multi-risk analyses ...

Hypertension, a major health concern linked to heart disease and premature mortality, has prompted a search for alternative treatments due to side effects of existing medications. Sustainable harvesting of low-trophic marine organisms not only enhances food security but also provides a variety of bioactive molecules, including peptides. Despite comprising only a fraction of active natural compounds, ...

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a widespread disorder, and the worldwide incidence is rapidly increasing. Acupuncture, an intervention out of the spectrum of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has a long tradition as treatment for ED. Nonetheless, a best-practice treatment protocol is currently missing. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis confirmed a huge diversity of ...

Ecosystems are subjected to increasing exposure to multiple anthropogenic drivers. This has led to the development of national and international accounting systems describing the condition of ecosystems, often based on few, highly aggregated indicators. Such accounting systems would benefit from a stronger theoretical and empirical underpinning of ecosystem dynamics. Operational tools for ecosystem ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from cells attract interest for their possible role in health and diseases. The detection and characterization of EVs is challenging due to the lack of specialized methodologies. Raman spectroscopy, however, has been suggested as a novel approach for biochemical analysis of EVs. To extract information from the spectra, a novel deep learning architecture is ...

Pneumonia remains a critical health concern worldwide, necessitating efficient diagnostic tools to enhance patient care. This research proposes a concatenated modified LeNet classifier to classify pneumonia images accurately. The model leverages deep learning techniques to improve the diagnosis of Pneumonia, leading to more effective and timely treatment. Our modified LeNet architecture incorporates ...

This study examines online processing and offline judgments of subject-verb person agreement with a focus on how this is impacted by markedness in heritage speakers (HSs) of Italian. To this end, 54 adult HSs living in Germany and 40 homeland Italian speakers completed a self-paced reading task (SPRT) and a grammaticality judgment task (GJT). Markedness was manipulated by probing agreement with ...

Bakgrunn: Tidligere forskning viser at fysisk aktivitet kan være gunstig for pasienter som lever med metastatisk kreft. Likevel er det behov for mer forskning på temaet, da det er et kritisk gap som må fylles. Pasienter lever nå lenger med sin kreftsykdom, noe som stiller økt krav til kompetanse og ekspertise. For at pasienter med metastatisk kreft skal finne tiltak som kan gi dem bedre livskvalitet ...
