Introduction: The management and use of antimicrobial drugs has clinical, economic, and environmental implications. In many countries, antimicrobial drugs are the most frequently prescribed therapeutic agents. Therefore, health-care policy should focus on how to establish a rational attitude toward antibiotics. This study was performed to investigate antibiotic usage as a prophylactic regimen ...

Introduction Foreign body cases are common in otolaryngologic practice, usually occurring children. An impacted penetrating impaling foreign can be one of the most challenging emergencies Management revolves around safe extraction object and prevention complications. Here we share our experience with such case unusual at an site, extensive review literature discussing management & complicat...

The slight perversion of the original title of this piece (The Future of the Bayesian Brain) reflects my attempt to write prospectively about 'Science and Stories' over the past 20 years. I will meet this challenge by dealing with the future and then turning to its history. The future of the Bayesian brain (in neuroimaging) is clear: it is the application of dynamic causal modeling to understan...

In this paper we consider the neuroscienti€c theory of the Bayesian brain in the light of adaptive web systems and content personalisation. In particular, we elaborate on neural mechanisms of human decision-making and the origin of lacking reliability of user feedback, o‰en denoted as noise or human uncertainty. To this end, we €rst introduce an adaptive model of cognitive agency in which popul...

The brain uses sensory information that is often uncertain in order to efficiently generate perceptual representations of the world. This observation has led to the Bayesian brain hypothesis, in which the brain combines internal expectations of the world with unreliable external sensory information in a nearly optimal probabilistic manner. Recent studies have suggested that to be true in statis...
