Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the effect keratinized mucosa (KM) on different peri-implant health-related parameters and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Material methods: Randomized controlled trials, cohort, cross-sectional case–control human studies with a follow-up period at least 6 months comparing two groups patients presence or absence KM, KM <...

Many real-world problems involving constraints can be regarded as instances of the Max-SAT problem, which is the optimization variant of the classic satisfiability problem. In this paper, we propose a novel probabilistic approach for Max-SAT called ProMS. Our algorithm relies on a stochastic local search strategy using a novel probability distribution function with two strategies for picking va...

Data in most orthopaedic studies tend to focus on the physical factors of patients for predicting surgical outcomes and how they correlate patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). However, numerous recent have shown correlation between psychometric factors, specifically resilience, with improved PROMs following surgery. Higher resilience has been lead better PROMs. hip arthroscopy short term ...

Breast cancer remains the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Early detection and treatment means that over 70 per cent survive for more than 10 years, with approximately 60 per cent of women predicted to be alive 20 years following their initial diagnosis1. There is an increasing focus on the issues of ‘survivorship’ and the impact of surgical and other treatments on patients’ health-re...

Abstract This talk will cover two common areas of confusion. First, the relationship between personal recovery and clinical be described, using recent meta-analytic evidence. It argued that is not same as recovery, there now an established policy practice consensus supporting primary aim mental health systems. Traditional recovery-oriented treatments which target for example symptomatology or r...

Dermatological conditions are the fourth most common health condition worldwide and carry a physical, psychological social burden for patients. The existing metrics in dermatology (e.g. patient-reported outcome measures [PROMs]) arguably underestimate breadth of impact dermatological on patients’ lives. Global Research Impact Diseases (GRIDD) project is developing new measure (Patient-Reported ...

A quadratic approximation manifold is presented for performing nonlinear, projection-based, model order reduction (PMOR). It constitutes a departure from the traditional affine subspace that aimed at mitigating Kolmogorov barrier nonlinear PMOR, particularly convection-dominated transport problems. builds on data-driven approach underlying construction of projection-based reduced-order models (...
