Taboo: crossing the specialty barrier.
A rguably the greatest therapeutic breakthroughs have resulted from increased medical specialisation, particularly in major disciplines, such as cardiology and respiratory medicine. Generalism now remains the province of primary and community care, and of elderly care teams. However, what works well for research may work against the delivery of these medical advances to the patients most in nee...
متن کاملFollow-Up Visits in Doctor-Patient Communication: The Vietnamese Case
In a “follow-up visit”, a patient seeks medical attention for an existing health problem. Using data from the Vietnamese public hospital system, we present a more nuanced analysis of follow-ups in health communication than the one currently available. To be specific, we discriminate between “same follow-ups”, in which the doctor is the same one as in the last visit, and “different follow-ups”, ...
متن کاملThe Position of E-Health in Reshaping Doctor/Patient Communications
Accessibility to all levels of information technology has experienced rapid progress in recent years, particularly in the health sector. Rapid penetration into this technology has led to changes in lifestyles and changes in the working procedures of institutions. In 2014, the number of Internet users reached 3 billion, and this number is predicted to exceed 8 billion in 2018. Statistics estimat...
متن کاملMention Detection Crossing the Language Barrier
While significant effort has been put into annotating linguistic resources for several languages, there are still many left that have only small amounts of such resources. This paper investigates a method of propagating information (specifically mention detection information) into such low resource languages from richer ones. Experiments run on three language pairs (Arabic-English, Chinese-Engl...
متن کاملBarrier crossing of semiflexible polymers
– We consider the motion of semiflexible polymers in double-well potentials. We calculate shape, energy, and effective diffusion constant of kink excitations, and in particular their dependence on the bending rigidity of the semiflexible polymer. For symmetric potentials, the kink motion is purely diffusive, whereas kink motion becomes directed in the presence of a driving force on the polymer....
