Complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) can be of great support to individuals suffering from psychiatric conditions; however, it is still rarely incorporated into clinical practice. To examine the influences psychosocial sociodemographic factors on health-care professionals’ intention use CIM in their One-hundred-and-five participants completed a questionnaire developed an adapted version...

Utility companies worldwide are facing a multitude of new challenges, which can not be met with the historically grown, monolithic IT systems currently in use. Service oriented architectures are heavily used to integrate heterogeneous systems. One key aspect of this integration is the use of a common language, such as the Common Information Model (CIM). Important use cases are exchange of topol...

We analyze the efficacy of a standard manifold-based reduction method used to simplify reaction dynamics and find conditions under which the reduction can succeed and fail. In the standard reduction, a heteroclinic trajectory linking saddle and sink equilibria is taken as a candidate reduced manifold which we call a Canonical Invariant Manifold (CIM). We develop and exercise analytic tools for ...

The muscle wasting and loss of specific force associated with Critical Illness Myopathy (CIM) is, at least in part, due to a preferential loss of the molecular motor protein myosin. This acquired myopathy is common in critically ill immobilized and mechanically ventilated intensive care patients (ICU). There is a growing understanding of the mechanisms underlying CIM, but the role of nutritiona...

INTRODUCTION Intensive insulin therapy (IIT) reduced the incidence of critical illness polyneuropathy and/or myopathy (CIP/CIM) and the need for prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV >or= 14 days) in two randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of IIT in a surgical intensive care unit (SICU) and medical intensive care unit (MICU). In the present study, we investigated whether these effe...

Abstract A coherent Ising machine (CIM) is an open-dissipative solver using optical pulses generated from a degenerate parametric oscillator as analog magnetizations. When solving real-world optimization problems with CIM, this has two difficulties: mutual coupling induced amplitude inhomogeneity and absence of natural way to implement Zeeman terms. For the approximate Gaussian formulation CIMs...

INTRODUCTION The objective was to search the literature with a view to providing a general description of critical illness myopathy/polyneuropathy (CIM/CIP), including its genesis and prevention. Furthermore, it was our aim to determine whether new treatments have occurred in the past five years. MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMed, Cinahl and Swedmed+ were searched using the terms CIM, CIP and inten...

OBJECTIVES Chronic pain management typically consists of prescription medications or provider-based, behavioral, or interventional procedures that are often ineffective, may be costly, and can be associated with undesirable side effects. Because chronic pain affects the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), patient-centered complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) therapies that acknowledg...

The Cayley Isomorphism property for combinatorial objects was introduced by L. Babai in 1977. Since then it has been intensively studied for binary relational structures: graphs, digraphs, colored graphs etc. In this paper we study this property for oriented Cayley maps. A Cayley map is a Cayley graph provided by a cyclic rotation of its connection set. If the underlying graph is connected, the...
