Background—Echocardiography is available in the most basic healthcare environments. Mitral repair is potentially curative and, when possible, recommended over replacement. The efficacy of echo-guided repair has not been established. Methods and Results—We developed a succinct set of precisely defined images observed to be highly concordant with intraoperative findings. These images guided inter...

BACKGROUND Alcohol misuse ranks within the top ten health conditions with the highest global burden of disease. Low-intensity, Internet interventions for curbing adult alcohol misuse have been shown effective. Few meta-analyses have been carried out, however, and they have involved small numbers of studies, lacked indicators of drinking within low risk guidelines, and examined the effectiveness...

During the last years, a number of trials on internet-delivered psychodynamic treatment (IPDT) have shown promising results. In this article we discuss whether two important facets therapy, that therapeutic relationship (especially transference) and emotional processing, are applicable useful in IPDT. We argue therapist role IPDT does not need to be mainly supportive one. try illustrate working...

Brain Computer Interfaces are an essential technology for the advancement of prosthetic limbs, but current signal acquisition methods are hindered by a number of factors, not least, noise. In this context, Feature Selection is required to choose the important signal features and improve classifier accuracy. Evolutionary algorithms have proven to outperform filtering methods (in terms of accurac...

Microblogging tools such as Twitter show potential to enrich classroom experience and benefit student learning. Research shows that instructional guidance is particularly necessary in computer-assisted learning environments, but no research has been done to study the effects of instructional guidance in microblogging-based learning. Using a multiple-case study design, the researcher examined st...
