Implementation of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS)-assisted physical examination (PE) in emergency departments (EDs) was conducted in the ED of an urban tertiary teaching hospital. This study examines the effect of POCUS implementation in emergency medicine departments by using a systematic education program on image acquisition to analyze decision making.Educating staff on POCUS involved ...

Maximizing the profit and minimizing the loss notwithstanding the trend of the market is always desirable in any investment strategy. The present research develops an investment strategy, which has been verified effective in the real world, by employing self-organizing map neural network for mutual funds and tracking the trends of stock market indices according to macro-economy indicators, weig...

We apply extreme value theory (EVT) to study the daily precipitation and temperature extremes in Calabria region (southern Italy) mainly considering a long-term observational dataset (1990–2020) also investigating possible use of ERA5 (ECMWF Reanalysis v5) fields. The efficiency EVT applied on available is first assessed—both through punctual statistical analysis return-level maps. Two differen...

Carisoprodol is a commonly used skeletal muscle relaxant with potential for abuse because of its active metabolite, meprobamate, and several reports have suggested that patients abruptly stopping intake of carisoprodol may have a withdrawal syndrome. The authors studied changes in the occurrence of somatic dysfunctions in five patients during an 8-day period following discontinuation from large...

This paper models high and low frequency dynamic components of FX excess return correlations and examines their relationship with economic fundamentals. A factor currency pricing model is used to characterize the correlation structure of FX excess returns. I provide evidence on high levels of comovement in FX markets during the post-crisis (or recovery) period following the 2008 financial turmo...

We examine international stock return comovements using country-industry and country-style portfolios. We first establish that parsimonious risk-based factor models capture the covariance structure of the data better than the popular Heston-Rouwenhorst (1994) model. We then establish the following stylized facts regarding stock return comovements. First, we do not find evidence for an upward tr...
