Computational Approaches to Cyber-Syndrome: A Scoping Review with Considerations for Adolescent Mental Health

Cyber-Syndrome denotes the physical, social, and thinking disorders arising from problematic cyberspace interactions, with its thinking dimension encompassing cognitive deficits (e.g., attentional impairment, executive dysfunction) and affective disturbances (e.g., mood disorders...

Early nitrogen wash-out for inside attendants during hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a novel oxygen distribution regimen

Introduction: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is widely used as treatment of decompression sickness (DCS). The patient breathes oxygen at an elevated oxygen partial pressure of up to 280 kPa, whereas any inside attendant (IA) normally breathes air. This results in nitrogen uptak...

Edgecluster: an evolving data stream clustering at the edge

Abstract In this study, we propose a novel data stream clustering algorithm, called EdgeCluster, which has modest computational requirements, making it suitable for deployment on edge devices. The proposed EdgeCluster algorithm dynamically maintains the set of clusters that model...

Metoprolol in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease without Cardiovascular Disease

BACKGROUND: Beta-blockers may improve outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) without cardiovascular disease, but randomized trials have been inconclusive. METHODS: This was a multicenter, open-label, pragmatic, phase 4 randomized trial. Patients 40...

Hilbert's Basis Theorem for Poisson Ore Extensions

ABSTRACT We prove an analogue of Hilbert's basis theorem for Poisson Ore extensions and Poisson Laurent Ore extensions. We also obtain corresponding results for iterated Poisson Ore extensions and iterated Poisson Laurent Ore extensions associated to commuting Poisson‐pairs. Fina...

Periodontal status in an older population: An 18‐year longitudinal comparative study

Abstract Background The prevalence of periodontitis increases with aging. The present study aimed to assess descriptively the changes in periodontal status over an 18‐year period among individuals aged 60 and 66 years at baseline who participated in the Swedish National Study on...

Periodontitis and all-cause mortality in 60- and 66-year-old individuals: a 23-year prospective cohort study

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to investigate the association between baseline moderate-to-severe periodontitis and all-cause mortality over a 23-year follow-up among individuals aged 60 and 66 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This longitudinal study was based on data from the S...
