Abstract Introduction Pain is one of the most frequently reported symptoms in hemodialyzed (HD) patients, with prevalence rates between 33% and 82%.Risk factors for chronic pain in HD patients are older age, long-lasting dialysis history, several concomitant diseases, malnutrition, and others.However, chronic pain assessment in HD patients is rarel
The registration between images is a crucial part of the 3-D tooth reconstruction model.In this MAG W D paper, we introduce a registration method using our proposed statistical randomization-based particle swarm optimization (SR-PSO) algorithm with the iterative closet point (ICP) method to find the optimal affine transform between images.The hiera
Cables This paper proposes a novel metasurface-based monopulse antenna.A multimode pyramidal horn with four ports is selected as the feed of the proposed monopulse antenna.The 3-dB couplers and the optimized waveguide phase shifters are employed to design the monopulse comparator.In order to obtain good sum and difference beams performance, metasur
The present analysis aims to differentiate the association of noise on myocardial infarction (MI) by job specific demands using International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO)-88 codes as a proxy.Data of a German case-control study were supplemented by job descriptions (indicated by ISCO-88).It was examined whether the demands in the va
In this article we describe the background, design, and preliminary results of a medications module within Patient Gateway (PG), a patient portal linked to an electronic health record (EHR).The medications module is designed to improve the accuracy of medication lists within the EHR, reduce adverse drug events and improve patient_provider communica
