PATI: Patient accessed tailored information

Tailored Patient Information: Some Issues and Questions

Tailored patient information (TPI) systems are computer programs which produce persoualised heath-information material for patients. TPI systems are of growing interest to the natural-language generation (NLG) community; many TPI systems have also been developed in the medical community, usually with mail-merge technology. No matter what technology is used, experience shows that it is not easy ...

Graphics for Patient-Tailored Information in Clinical Genetics

In this paper we outline how computer-generated diagrams and other types of graphical devices might be used to help communicate patient-tailored information in clinical genetics.

Patient-tailored acetylcysteine administration.

Acetylcysteine is a familiar friend of emergency physicians, intensivists, and medical toxicologists. There are 2 broad categories of acetaminophen toxicity that receive acetylcysteine therapy: acute single overdose ingestion and repeated supratherapeutic (“chronic”) ingestion. Since the 1970s, we have used acetylcysteine to reduce liver injury and death in patients with an acute overdose inges...

Pati – Salam model from branes

We explore the possibility of embedding the Pati–Salam model in the context of Type I brane models. We study a generic model with U(4) C × U(2) L × U(2) R gauge symmetry and matter fields compatible with a Type I brane configuration. Examining the anomaly cancellation conditions of the surplus abelian symmetries we find an alternative hypercharge embedding that is compatible with a low string/b...
