A virtual reality cognitive screening tool based on the six cognitive domains.

Introduction: Early detection of cognitive impairment enables interventions to slow cognitive decline. Existing neuropsychological paper-and-pencil tests may not adequately assess cognition in real-life environments. A fully-immersive and automated virtual reality (VR) system-Cognitive Assessment using VIrtual REality (CAVIRE)-was developed to assess all six cognitive domains.

Evaluation of an On-Site Disaster Medical Management Course in Nepal.

The great 2015 Nepal earthquake of magnitude 7.6 killed about 9000 people. To better ensure a more coordinated disaster response, a Basic On-Site Disaster Medical Support (BOS-DMS) course was designed in 2017.

Observable Atrial and Ventricular Fibrillation Episode Durations Are Conformant With a Power Law Based on System Size and Spatial Synchronization.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) episodes exhibit varying durations, with some spontaneously ending quickly while others persist. A quantitative framework to explain episode durations remains elusive. We hypothesized that observable self-terminating AF and VF episode lengths, whereby durations are known, would conform with a power law based on the ratio of system size and correlation length ([Formula: see text].

Singapore tuberculosis (TB) clinical management guidelines 2024: A modified Delphi adaptation of international guidelines for drug-susceptible TB infection and pulmonary disease.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains endemic in Singapore. Singapore's clinical practice guidelines for the management of tuberculosis were first published in 2016. Since then, there have been major new advances in the clinical management of TB, ranging from diagnostics to new drugs and treatment regimens.
