Two plus one is almost three: a fast approximation for multi-view deconvolution.

Multi-view deconvolution is a powerful image-processing tool for light sheet fluorescence microscopy, providing isotropic resolution and enhancing the image content. However, performing these calculations on large datasets is computationally demanding and time-consuming even on high-end workstations. Especially in long-time measurements on developing animals, huge amounts of image data are acquired.

Inappropriate prescribing according to the STOPP/START criteria in older people from a primary care setting.

Background: STOPP (screening tool of older persons' prescriptions)/START (screening tool to alert doctors to right treatment) criteria aim to identify potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) due to mis-, over- and under-prescription in older patients. Initially developed by Irish experts, their applicability has been demonstrated in primary health care (PHC).

Objective: To quantify and identify the most frequent PIM at PHC level using STOPP/START criteria.

[Prevalence of respiratory disorders during sleep and associated factors].

Objective: To calculate the prevalence of respiratory disorders during sleep (RDS), apnoea, and related factors, in a rural population.

Design: Prevalence study.

Participants: Random sample of 228 individuals chosen from a health centre's appointment records.

Toxocara infection seroprevalence and its relationship with atopic features in a general adult population.

Background: The relationship of helminth infection with atopy is controversial. Toxocariasis is the most common helminth infection in industrialized countries. The study aimed to investigate the association between Toxocara exposure and atopic features.

Evaluation of the phadiatop test in the diagnosis of allergic sensitization in a general adult population.

Background: Phadiatop is a commercially available qualitative serological test employed for screening of allergic sensitization in patients with suspected allergic diseases.

Aim: The study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of Phadiatop for the diagnosis of allergic sensitization in a general adult population.

Methods: A total of 469 subjects from the population of A-Estrada (Spain) were selected by age-stratified random sampling (age range, 18-92 years).

Association of hepatitis A virus infection with allergic sensitization in a population with high prevalence of hepatitis A virus exposure.

Background: An inverse association between allergic sensitization and markers of exposure to food-borne and orofecal infections (particularly hepatitis A virus, HAV) has been reported. The prevalence of HAV exposure and allergic sensitization vary widely in different areas, and vary along with age within a given area.

Aim: To investigate the association between HAV exposure and allergic sensitization in adults from a mostly rural area of Spain.

High prevalence of storage mite sensitization in a general adult population.

Background And Aim: Occupational and nonoccupational storage mite (SM) allergy has received considerable attention in recent years. The study aimed to evaluate both the prevalence and factors associated with sensitization to SMs in a general adult population from a warm and humid area where mites are the predominant allergens.

Patients And Methods: An age-stratified random sample of 720 subjects was drawn from the population older than 18 years of A-Estrada (Galicia, Spain).

[A population study of the efficacy of pulsioxymetry in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome].

Objectives: To evaluate the use at home of night-time pulsioxymetry to diagnose obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome in the general population.

Design: Cros-sectional study of diagnostic tests.

Participants: Random sample of 70 individuals chosen from a Health Centre´s appointment records.

Association of alcohol consumption with total serum immunoglobulin E levels and allergic sensitization in an adult population-based survey.

Background: Chronic alcoholism is associated with increased total serum IgE levels.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between alcohol intake and both total serum IgE levels and allergic sensitization in a general adult population.

Materials And Methods: A total of 720 subjects was randomly selected (stratified by age) from the population older than 18 years of A-Estrada (Spain) and invited to participate in the study.

[Self-perception of health and mortality in elderly from a rural community].

Objective: To assess the relationship between self-perception of their health and mortality in a representative sample of persons over 65 in a rural community.

Design: Survival study of population with three years observance.

Setting: A non-coastal and rural borough in Galicia.

[Chronic morbidity and self-perception of health in the elderly of a rural community].

Objectives: To find chronic morbidity, self-perception of health status and its relationship with different socio-economic and health variables, among the elderly in our health area.

Design: A crossover study using a home questionnaire.

Setting: A rural area in Galicia.
