BACKGROUND There is a significant need for continuous noninvasive blood pressure (cNIBP) monitoring, especially for anesthetized surgery and ICU recovery. cNIBP systems could lower costs and expand the use of continuous blood pressure monitoring, lowering risk and improving outcomes.The test system examined here is the CareTaker® and a pulse contour analysis algorithm, Pulse Decomposition Analy...

This paper deals with semantic interpretation of audiovisual data. It investigates how explicit interpretation of uncertainty can help to bridge the semantic gap. We present a case study of FuzzyOWL — a current uncertainty representation framework — applied in the context of the recent European project CARETAKER focusing on automated situation awareness, diagnosis and decision support. A partic...

Case reports of Munchausen syndrome by proxy document a wide and confusing spectrum of symptoms.

Ku80 facilitates DNA repair and therefore should suppress cancer. However, ku80(-/-) mice exhibit reduced cancer, although they age prematurely and have a shortened life span. We tested the hypothesis that Ku80 deletion suppresses cancer by enhancing cellular tumor-suppressive responses to inefficiently repaired DNA damage. In support of this hypothesis, Ku80 deletion ameliorated tumor burden i...
