Empirical distributions of traffic loads from one year of weigh-in-motion data.

In the state-of-the-art of structural engineering the actions for design or assessment of bridges should derive from a probabilistic (i.e., frequentist) characterization of the loads.

GestaltMatcher facilitates rare disease matching using facial phenotype descriptors.

Many monogenic disorders cause a characteristic facial morphology. Artificial intelligence can support physicians in recognizing these patterns by associating facial phenotypes with the underlying syndrome through training on thousands of patient photographs. However, this 'supervised' approach means that diagnoses are only possible if the disorder was part of the training set.

Inappropriate prescribing in intermediate care facilities.

Inappropriate prescribing for older people is a global healthcare problem. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of older patients receiving potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) at admission and discharge at the intermediate care facility of ASP Pio Albergo Trivulzio. We consecutively enrolled 100 patients aged ≥ 65 from December 2017 to May 2018 and evaluated PIMs with the 2015 version of the Beers criteria.

Prevalence of early loss of primary molar and its impact in schoolchildren's quality of life.

Background: Evidence regarding the impact of premature loss of primary molars on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is lacking.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of premature loss of primary molars in schoolchildren and its impact on OHRQoL.

Design: We randomly selected 667 children aged 8-9 years enrolled in public and private schools from Aracaju (Brazil).
