Vitals signs are measured at scheduled intervals by nurses in typical general wards. Vital signs may be measured more frequently if the patient condition deteriorates. In many units, the vital signs measurement frequency for some patients is different from the scheduled frequency due to various reasons such as staffing, patient acuity etc. In this article, we describe the actual measurement fre...

The optimal definition of the size, shape and location of gross tumour volume is one of the most important steps in the planning of radiation therapy, and necessitates a proper understanding of the procedure from both the oncologic radiologist and the radiation oncologist. This overview reports on the different terms and concepts that have been recommended in the ICRU Reports for this purpose; ...

Electrophysiological simulations of the atria could improve diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmia, like atrial fibrillation or flutter. For this purpose, a precise segmentation of both atria is needed. However, the atrial epicardium and the electrophysiological structures needed for electrophysiological simulations are barely or not at all detectable in CT-images. Therefore, a model bas...

Domain-specific Internet of Things (IoT) applications are becoming more and more popular. They process data coming from sensor measurements. Adding semantic annotations to the sensory observations and measurements can allow to reason on data via logical rules. Stemming from Linked Open Data and Linked Open Vocabularies, we have designed sensor-based Linked Open Rules (S-LOR). S-LOR allows explo...

multilevel atrioventricular block. These interpretations can be made from the clinical electrocardiogram and do not require complex electrophysiologic studies. This phenomenon is not rare and occurs under a variety of clinical circumstances. It is likely that multilevel block is far more common than previously suspected, since stable 4: 1 block in atrial flutter probably represents two levels o...

For 79 % of the radiopharmaceuticals, the new calculations gave a lower effective dose per unit administered activity than earlier estimated.” Should be “For 63 % of the radiopharmaceuticals, the new calculations gave a lower effective dose per unit administered activity than earlier estimated.” 2. “As a mean for all radiopharmaceuticals, the effective dose was 25 % lower.” Should be“As a me...

The electronic structure and spectroscopic properties of a series of rhenium(I) terpyridine complexes were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods. The influence of different substituent groups on the optical and electronic properties of Re(I) terpyridine complexes has also been explored. The reorganization energy calculat...

The motivation for Computational Aeroelasticity (CA) and the elements of one type of the analysis or simulation process are briefly reviewed. The need for streamlining and improving the overall process to reduce elapsed time and improve overall accuracy is discussed Further effort is needed to establish the credibility of the methodology, obtain experience, and to incorporate the experience bas...

Instrumented gait analysis based on optoelectronic systems is an expensive technique used to objectively measure the human movement features and it is generally considered as the gold standard. Opto-electronic plethysmography (OEP) is a particular motion analysis system able to: (i) determine chest wall kinematic via the evaluation of marker displacements placed on the thorax and (ii) compute r...

The enthusiasm for research on lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles is driven by both a fundamental interest in the optical properties of lanthanides embedded in different host lattices and their promise for broad applications ranging from biological imaging to photodynamic therapy. Despite the considerable progress made in the past decade, the field of upconversion nanoparticles has bee...
