Background - International guidelines are increasingly recommending direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) as the first-line treatment for cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT). However, data regarding treatment patterns and adherence to guidelines in patients with CAT are scarce.<p> <p>Objectives - This study aimed to explore anticoagulant treatment patterns in patients with CAT and to calculate the ...

The WHO research agenda for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human health has identified 40 research priorities to be addressed by the year 2030. These priorities focus on bacterial and fungal pathogens of crucial importance in addressing AMR, including drug-resistant pathogens causing tuberculosis. These research priorities encompass the entire people-centred journey, covering prevention, diagnosis, ...

Global contexts in images are quite valuable in image-to-image translation problems. Conventional attention-based and graph-based models capture the global context to a large extent; however, these are computationally expensive. Moreover, existing approaches are limited to only learning the pairwise semantic relation between any two points in the image. In this paper, we present Latent Graph ...

This paper presents a practical step-by-step approach to Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar nonlinearity correction (deconvolution), utilizing surface-based Ku- and Ka-band radar data collected over nilas ice within a newly-opened sea ice lead during the 2019/2020 MOSAiC expedition. Two performance metrics are introduced to evaluate deconvolution effectiveness: the spurious free ...

Background: Dachaihu decoction (Dachaihu tang) plays a crucial role in treating acute illnesses. Recently, a significant number of clinical studies on Dachaihu decoction for acute cholecystitis (AC) have been published. This study was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of Dachaihu decoction in patients with this condition.<p> <p>Methods: To identify relevant randomized controlled trials ...

Background With improvements in cancer treatment and early detection, the number of people living with cancer is increasing.<p> <p>Objective This study aimed to investigate the association between combined prediagnostic lifestyle factors, assessed by a Healthy Lifestyle Index (HLI) score, and mortality among women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and lung cancer ...

Background: As type 2 diabetes (T2D) is expected to increase, self-management becomes more crucial. Mobile apps are increasingly supporting self-management with tasks like blood glucose monitoring and medication management. Understanding the behavioral intervention functions used by diabetes apps today, is essential for improving future apps and systems for diabetes management.<p> <p>Objective: ...

According to the justified true belief (JTB) account of knowledge, people can truly know something only if they have a belief that is both justified and true (i.e., knowledge is JTB). This account was challenged by Gettier, who argued that JTB does not explain knowledge attributions in certain situations, later called “Gettier-type cases,” wherein protagonists are justified in believing something ...

Bakgrunn og formål: Eksponering for vibrasjoner fra håndholdte vibrerende verktøy kan gi negative helseeffekter i form av hånd-/armvibrasjonssyndrom (HAVS). HAVS kan være en arbeidsrelatert tilstand med stort forebyggingspotensial. Bedriftshelsetjenesten har et særskilt fortrinn når det gjelder å bidra til å forebygge arbeidsrelaterte tilstander. Oppgavens formål var å utforske hvordan helsepersonell ...

Background Identifying spontaneous circulation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is challenging. Current methods, which involve intermittent and time-consuming pulse checks, necessitate pauses in chest compressions. This issue is problematic in both in-hospital cardiac arrest and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest situations, where resources for identifying circulation during CPR may be limited. ...
