Automated vehicle acceptance (AVA) research has grown substantially in the past few years. There is a paucity of research on the role of the big five personality traits on attitudes towards automated vehicles (AVs) and AVA. This is a critical shortcoming given that personality is considered a critical factor explaining technology adoption.

Methods: Reimbursement data of 193 082 new glaucoma patients in 1986-2023 were collected from the registry of Finnish Insurance Institution (Kela). The numbers of new, current and deceased users of reimbursed glaucoma medications in Finland at end of each year were analysed by gender and in different age groups.
Background: A fully automated artificial intelligence-based tool was developed to detect and quantify femoral component subsidence between serial radiographs. However, it did not account for measurement errors due to leg position differences, such as rotation or flexion, between comparative radiographs. If there are small differences in rotation or flexion of the leg between comparative radiographs, the impact on subsidence measurement is unclear.

- The study examines how intermittent hypoxic exposure (IHE) and continuous hypoxic training (CHT) can help maintain elevated hemoglobin levels (Hb) in endurance athletes returning to sea level after hypoxic training camps.* -
- Results showed that athletes who used IHE and CHT retained significantly higher Hb levels after 30 days compared to those who did not, suggesting these methods could counteract Hb declines usually seen after returning to sea level.* -
- Additionally, improvements in maximal oxygen uptake (V̇o) and exercise performance were observed in athletes who included IHE and CHT in their training, indicating beneficial effects on endurance capabilities.*
Background: Cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) can visualize and quantify the molecular and physiological pathways of cardiac function. However, cardiac and respiratory motion can introduce blurring that reduces PET image quality and quantitative accuracy. Dual cardiac- and respiratory-gated PET reconstruction can mitigate motion artifacts but increases noise as only a subset of data are used for each time frame of the cardiac cycle.
