Conventional semi-infinite analytical solutions of correlation diffusion equation may lead to errors when calculating blood flow index (BFI) from diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) measurements in tissues with irregular geometries. Very recently, we created an algorithm integrating a Nth-order linear model of autocorrelation function with the Monte Carlo simulation of photon migrations in h...

Pandemi Covid-19 membuat seluruh aspek kehidupan mengalami perubahan. Kehidupan pekerjaan juga turut terdampak pandemi. Hal ini pekerja harus menyesuaikan diri dengan aturan-aturan baru. Namun tidak semudah itu diri. Ada yang kendala perubahaan ini. Penelitian ingin menguji perbedaan burnout dialami oleh karyawan menjalani work from home (WFH) selama pandemi dan karena gaya kerja adalah penelit...

This paper positions and explores the topic of image-based personality test. Instead of responding to text-based questions, the subjects will be provided a set of “choose-your-favorite-image” visual questions. With the image options of each question belonging to the same concept, the subjects’ personality traits are estimated by observing their preferences of images under several unique concept...

OBJECTIVE To detect perfusion reductions in patients with acute cerebral infarcts using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with indocyanine green (ICG) as tracer. METHODS Kinetics of an intravenous bolus of ICG were monitored by NIRS in 13 patients with acute infarction in the territory of the middle cerebral artery (mean (SD) age, 62.2 (13.0) years) and 12 controls (64.2 (9.1) years) at 2.8 (...

BACKGROUND Fatigue is common in cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. To further understand the mechanism of fatigue and search for potential biomarkers, we conducted this prospective study. Methods We enrolled breast cancer (BC) patients before their first adjuvant Adriamycin-based chemotherapy cycle. Patients responded to the brief fatigue inventory (BFI) and Chalder fatigue questi...

BACKGROUND Opioid-induced constipation is the most prevalent patient complaint associated with longer-term opioid use and interferes with analgesic efficacy, functionality, quality of life, and patient compliance. OBJECTIVES We aimed to compare the effects of prolonged-release (PR) oxycodone plus PR naloxone (OXN) vs PR oxycodone (OXY) vs PR morphine (MOR) on bowel function under real-life co...

We sought to determine the applicability and structural equivalence of a personality instrument developed in western, educated, industrialised, rich democratic (WEIRD) contexts non-WEIRD environments. The data for this study came from interviews conducted during sixth wave World Values Survey Netherlands (N = 1902), Germany 2046), Rwanda 1527), South Africa 3531). exploratory confirmatory facto...
