One of the main principles of medicine is that advances in knowledge and technological developments lead to improvements in patient care. In the area of surgery, 2 indisputably significant advances have emerged in the last 20 years, namely, minimally invasive surgery and multimodal rehabilitation programs, also known Fast Track protocols or Enhanced Recovery After Anesthesia (ERAS) programs. Th...

Assessment of potential ecological risk to benthic organisms inhabiting these sediments is often necessary to determine risk-based remedial cleanup goals. In some cases, these ecological risk assessments (ERAs) can be relatively straightforward, focusing only on the visual presence of tar or sheen in sediment cores or on PAH concentrations linked to unacceptable risk thresholds. However, ERAs c...

The reference to ethnicity in the 2012 National Suicide Prevention Strategy for England (1) is mainly with regard to promoting mental health in Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups. However, there is little detailed information about any specific strategy to reduce suicide rates in BME groups. The Suicide Prevention Strategy and Action Plan for Northern Ireland has only one brief reference re...

Within the large body of research in complex network analysis, an important topic is the temporal evolution of networks. Existing approaches aim at analyzing the evolution on the global and the local scale, extracting properties of either the entire network or local patterns. In this paper, we focus on detecting clusters of temporal snapshots of a network, to be interpreted as eras of evolution...

Background Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program is an effective evidence-based multidisciplinary protocol of perioperative care, but its roles in thoracic surgery remain unclear. This systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of the ERAS programs for lung cancer surgery. Materials and methods We searched the PubMed and EMBAS...

Ancient paintings are valuable for historians and archeologists to study the humanities, customs and economy of the corresponding eras. For this purpose, it is important to first determine the era in which a painting was drawn. This problem can be very challenging when the paintings from different eras present a same topic and only show subtle difference in terms of the painting styles. In this...

Environmental risk assessment (ERA) is often considered as the most transparent, objective and reliable decision-making tool for informing the risk management of chemicals and nanomaterials. ERAs are based on the assumption that it is possible to provide accurate estimates of hazard and exposure and, subsequently, to quantify risk. In this paper we argue that since the quantification of risk is...
