SMARTPHONE CARDIAC REHABILITATION, ASSISTED SELF-MANAGEMENT VERSUS USUAL CARE: PROTOCOL FOR A MULTICENTER RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL TO COMPARE EFFECTS AND COSTS AMONG PEOPLE WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE

BackgroundAlternative evidence-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) delivery models that overcome significant barriers to access and delivery are needed to address persistent low utilization.Models utilizing contemporary digital technologies could significantly improve reach and fidelity as complementary alternatives to traditional center-based progra

An outbreak of Clostridium difficile ribotype 027 infection (CDI) occurred at an university hospital, involving 19 departments.To determine what hospital-associated factors drove the outbreak of this particular strain we performed a case-control study.Cases (n = 79), diagnosed with CDI due to C.difficile ribotype 027 were matched for age and treati

Abstract With widely available large-scale network data, one hot topic is how to adopt traditional classification algorithms to predict the most probable labels of nodes in a partially labeled network.In this article, we propose a new algorithm called identifier-based relational neighbor classifier (IDRN) to solve the within-network multi-label cla

The insular lobe has long been investigated, from its anatomical descriptions to its neurophysiological Pop! Covers activity.Located in a central location, the insular lobe participates in several afferent and efferent pathways, forming part of the eloquent and fundamental structures that make up the central core of the brain.The lobe of the insula

Progress in digital health and telemedicine has brought forth instruments can enhance the accessibility and efficacy of eye care services.Current research shows how technology-enabled approaches are changing the way care is provided.Traditional diagnostic methods rely on physician expertise, resulting in high misdiagnosis rates and data inefficienc
