Smartphones usually experience problems in the form of both connection interruption and communication interruption time when switching between networks during communication. These problems reduce the convenience of using a smartphone. We propose a method based on a seamless handover system through cooperation with NTMobile (Network Traversal with Mobility), which realizes mobility by enabling s...

In the parallel processing, the appropriate execution control of parallel processes is very important. In order to achieve the e ective performance for parallel processing, it is necessary that the process is invoked at appropriate timing and the frequency of interruption of process execution due to interprocess synchronization is minimized. The process execution is interrupted frequently when ...

Background During medication administration process, including preparation, administration, and documentation, there is high proportion of work interruption that results in medication administration errors that consequently affect the safety of patients. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of work interruption and associated factors during medication administration...

As information systems become more complex and present an increasingly rich amount of information to users, interruptions present an ever larger hurdle to operational efficiency. User interface technologies intended to support increased user-control of the transitions between computer-based tasks can help mitigate that obstacle. We present a three-pronged approach that combines dynamic interrup...

BACKGROUND Medication nonadherence is a well described and prevalent clinical occurrence in schizophrenia. These pharmacokinetic model-based simulations analyze predicted antipsychotic plasma concentrations in nonadherence and treatment interruption scenarios and with treatment reinitiation. METHODS Starting from steady state, pharmacokinetic model-based simulations of active moiety plasma co...

Despite high tuberculosis (TB) treatment success rate, treatment adherence is one of the major obstacles to tuberculosis control in Kenya. Our objective was to identify patient-related factors that were associated with time to TB treatment interruption and the geographic distribution of the risk of treatment interruption by county. Data of new and retreatment patients registered in TIBU, a Keny...

BACKGROUND Efavirenz (EFV) administration is still controversial for its high rates of interruption mainly related to central nervous system side effects (CNS-SE). Aim of the study was to define if single tablet regimen (STR) as compared to bis-in-die (BID) or once-daily (OD) with ≥2 pills-a-day EFV formulations reduced the risk of interruption. METHODS Patients starting any cART regimen incl...
