In the last few decades, the survival rates of preterm babies and full-term babies with severe diseases have increased due to advances in perinatal care. Understandably however, higher survival rates have not been accompanied by an overall reduction of morbidity, so that limitation of long-term neurodevelopmental abnormalities remains a major challenge of early care (Plaisier et al., 2014). The...

A cold sensitivity test (CST) is one of the assessments used to classify the level of non-freezing cold injury (NFCI) in patients presented to a cold injury clinic. The CST involves sitting in a chamber at 30°C for at least 30 min then immersing the injured site (usually a foot) in water at 15°C for 2 min. The NFCI classification is based on the skin temperature before and 5 min after immersion...

An innovative, low-radiation 3-D Complete-Body-Scan (3D-CBS) medical imaging device is presented, combining the benefits of the functional imaging capability of the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with those of the anatomical imaging capability of the Computed Tomography (CT). Until now, the greatest impediment to extending the axial field of view (FOV, the length of the detector) has been t...

•Most sleep apps available to consumers are designed enhance by reducing latency with auditory stimuli.•While most do not have peer-reviewed evidence supporting the specific app, use types of enhancement that backed scientific evidence.•Sleep widely available, low no cost, and mostly focus on helping consumer fall faster using sounds.•Sleep could be considered a possible strategy for patients i...

Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT, i.e. an annotated part of the Czech National Corpus) is conceived as a three-layer system of tags; the individual layers can be characterized as follows: (i) morphemic tagging capturing relatively disambiguated values of morphemic categories based on a full morphemic analysis of Czech; (ii) syntactic tags at the so-called analytical level, capturing the function...

In the Perm Region of Russia, recent social and cultural projects sponsored by energy companies prominently reference certain material qualities of oil and gas. The depth associated with the region’s oil deposits is evoked in cultural heritage celebrations funded by Lukoil-Perm, and the connectivity associated with natural gas pipelines figures in PermRegionGaz’s efforts to foster new patterns ...
