<i>Background</i>: There is rising demand for health care’s limited resources. Mobile health (mHealth) could be a solution, especially for those with chronic illnesses such as diabetes. mHealth can increases patients’ options to self-manage their health, improving their health knowledge, engagement, and capacity to contribute to their own care decisions. However, there are few solutions for sharing ...

Barnevernloven har ingen bestemmelse som særskilt gir hjemmel for å stanse eller redusere samvær i tilfeller hvor gjennomføring av samvær kommer i en akutt og skadelig motstrid til barnets interesser. Under anerkjennelse av at det i slike tilfeller kan foreligge en folkerettslig plikt til å komme barnet til unnsetning, er det i juridisk litteratur antydet at nasjonalt rettsgrunnlag for akutte vedtak ...

Maternal alloimmunization to paternally inherited antigens on fetal/neonatal platelets can cause fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) after antibody-mediated removal of platelets from the fetal circulation. The complications vary from mild bleeding symptoms to severe intracranial hemorrhage and subsequent neurological impairment or death. Studies on <i>in vivo</i> mechanisms are ...

Heritage is often seen as a symptom of a temporally disjointed and all-pervasive present which shapes the pasts it requires to make up for the failures of linear, modern and progressive history. As a consequence, the pasts in heritage are often regarded as the result of unidirectional processes of attributing value to largely compliant materials. This article explores the constitutive role of materials ...

Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to elucidate the abundance of <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i> and <i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i>, which are among the most widespread fish pathogens in ponds. Both pathogens have three different breeding patterns, namely, (a) gibel carp (<i>Carassius auratus gibelio</i>), (b) yellow catfish (<i>Pelteobagrus fulvidraco</i>), and (c) black carp (<i>Mylopharyngodon ...

<i>BACKGROUND</i> - Point-of-care testing of C-reactive protein (CRP) may be a way to reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics without harming patients who have acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).<p><p> <i>METHODS</i> - We performed a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial involving patients with a diagnosis of COPD in their primary care clinical ...

In this article, I consider Bernard Suits’ Utopia where the denizens supposedly fill their days playing Utopian sports, with regard to the relevance of the thought experiment for understanding the sports we currently play and have played. I argue that the thought experiment is irrelevant for understanding our current and past sports, i.e. human sports. I identify two views on games and sports in ...

Pivmecillinam, a pro-drug of mecillinam, has been used extensively in Scandinavia for the treatment of acute lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by Enterobacterales. It is still an attractive first-line drug for the empirical treatment of UTIs owing to the low prevalence of resistance as well as its favourable impact on the intestinal microbiota as a pro-drug and good in vitro efficacy ...

In the present Letter, a synthesized pseudothermal light source having high temporal coherence (TC) and low spatial coherence (SC) properties is used. The longitudinal coherence (LC) properties of the spatially extended monochromatic light source are systematically studied. The pseudothermal light source is generated from two different monochromatic laser sources: He–Ne (at 632 nm) and DPSS (at 532 ...

<i>Summary</i> - Less is known about the impact of non-hip non-vertebral fractures (NHNV) on early death. This study demonstrated increased risk of dying following hip and NHNV fractures which was further increased by a subsequent fracture. This highlights the importance of early intervention to prevent both initial and subsequent fractures and improve survival.<p> <p><i>Introduction</i> - ...
