From a perturbation in the Hamiltonian, we can calculate the first-order perturbation in the density matrix, which then gives us the linear response in the expectation values for some chosen set of observables. We present an alternative, dual formulation, where we instead calculate the static susceptibility of an observable, which then gives us the linear response in the expectation values for any number of different Hamiltonian perturbations.

Methods: An electronic literature search was conducted using the PubMed database, covering January 2005 to October 2023. Studies were included if they reported an exercise rehabilitation intervention for POTS patients and resulting clinical outcomes.
Background: Exercise is essential for physical rehabilitation, helping to improve functional performance and manage chronic conditions. Telerehabilitation offers an innovative way to deliver personalized exercise programs remotely, enhancing patient adherence and clinical outcomes. The Home Automated Telemanagement (HAT) System, integrated with the interactive bike (iBikE) system, was designed to support home-based rehabilitation by providing patients with individualized exercise programs that can be monitored remotely by a clinical rehabilitation team.

The accurate prediction of symptom escalation is critical in cancer care to enable timely interventions and improve symptom management to enhance patients' quality of life during treatment. The analytical dataset consists of daily self-reported symptom logs from chemotherapy patients, including a wide range of symptoms, such as nausea, fatigue, and pain.
