Article Synopsis
- The study examines how Locus of Control (LOC) and Quality of Life (QoL) impact diabetes management and metabolic control in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
- Participants showed good metabolic control and QoL initially, with women reporting higher QoL satisfaction than men.
- Higher LOC-External scores at the start were associated with better long-term metabolic outcomes, particularly for men, suggesting that LOC can influence diabetes management over time.
We propose a Bayesian model for extracting sleep patterns from smartphone events. Our method is able to identify individuals' daily sleep periods and their evolution over time, and provides an estimation of the probability of sleep and wake transitions. The model is fitted to more than 400 participants from two different datasets, and we verify the results against ground truth from dedicated armband sleep trackers.

Specifically, we collect data on face-to-face interactions, telecommunication, social networks, location, and background information (personality, demographics, health, politics) for a densely connected population of 1000 individuals, using state-of-the-art smartphones as social sensors. Here we provide an overview of the related work and describe the motivation and research agenda driving the study.

Materials And Methods: A total of 722 patients (480 men; 62.7±10.
Purpose: This study evaluated the impact of tube current (mAs) in delayed-enhancement computed tomography (CT) imaging for assessing acute reperfused myocardial infarction in a porcine model.
Materials And Methods: In five domestic pigs (mean weight 24 kg), the circumflex coronary artery was balloon-occluded for 2 h and then reperfused. After 5 days, CT imaging was performed following administration of iodinated contrast material.
