A feature-based qualitative assessment of smoking cessation mobile applications.

Understanding users' acceptance of smoking cessation interventions features is a precursor to mobile cessation apps' uptake and use. We gauged perceptions of three features of smoking cessation mobile interventions (self-monitoring, tailored feedback and support, educational content) and their design in two smoking cessation apps, Quit Journey and QuitGuide, among young adults with low socioeconomic status (SES) who smoke. A convenience sample of 38 current cigarette smokers 18-29-years-old who wanted to quit and were non-college-educated nor currently enrolled in a four-year college participated in 12 semi-structured virtual focus group discussions on GoTo Meeting.

The optimization of the pulse delivered by the pacemaker.

The results of stimulation threshold analysis carried out in 230 patients after the initial electrode implantation, and in 188 patients during pacemaker replacement, are presented. The electrodes investigated were the IE-60K-10 (279 cases), the IE-60-K (96 cases) and the ME-50 (26 cases). The chronic stimulation threshold voltage for the electrode IE-60K-10 (electrode surface area: 10 mm2) at a pulse width of 0.
