BACKGROUND Among patients with implantable pacemakers and defibrillators, subclinical atrial fibrillation (SCAF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke; however, there is limited understanding of their temporal relationship. METHODS AND RESULTS The Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Evaluation in Pacemaker Patients and the Atrial Fibrillation Reduction Atrial Pacing Trial (AS...

As hardware becomes increasingly parallel and the availability of scalable parallel software improves, the problem of managing multiple multi-threaded applications (processes) becomes important. Malleable processes, which can vary the number of threads used as they run, enable sophisticated and flexible resource management. Although many existing applications parallelized for SMPs with parallel...

BACKGROUND Gingival recession (GR) is one of the most common esthetic and functional concerns associated with periodontal disease. A variety of surgical procedures has been introduced to the field of cosmetic periodontology for the treatment of GR. AIM To evaluate and compare the clinical outcome of semilunar coronally advanced flap (SCAF) with and without button technique in the treatment of...

Jelen áttekintő közlemény a beültethető kardiológiai eszközökkel detektált szubklinikus pitvarfibrilláció (SCAF) esetében szóba jövő antikoaguláns kezelés kockázat-haszon viszonyára fókuszál. Mai tudásunk szerint az 5-6 percet meghaladó SCAF-epizódokat követően kell számolnunk stroke kockázatának fokozódásával. Bár abszolút kockázat alacsonyabb manifeszt, klinikai pitvarfibrillációban (AF) megf...

Subspace clustering discovers the clusters embedded in multiple, overlapping subspaces of high dimensional data. Many significant subspace clustering algorithms exist, each having different characteristics caused by the use of different techniques, assumptions, heuristics used etc. A comprehensive classification scheme is essential which will consider all such characteristics to divide subspace...

Social cognitive impairment is prominent in schizophrenia, and it is closely related to functional outcome. Partly for these reasons, it has rapidly become a target for both training and psychopharmacological interventions. However, there is a paucity of reliable and valid social cognitive endpoints that can be used to evaluate treatment response in clinical trials. Also, clinical studies in sc...

The goals of the project Social Cognition and Functioning in Schizophrenia (SCAF) were to (1) identify the domains to target from social neuroscience for translation to clinical schizophrenia research, (2) identify the paradigms that represent these domains for which the neural substrates are well documented, (3) adapt these paradigms for use in schizophrenia clinical trials, (4) assess the psy...

Screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) has attracted considerable attention recently. Of special interest are patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) that allow recording episodes of arrhythmias various durations, including asymptomatic ones, in which case they referred to as subclinical (SCAF). The available data suggest the risk thromboembolic events varies between SCAF a...
