The Efficacy of Single-Application NPWTi-d for the Salvage of Infected Breast Prostheses: A Multi-Center Study.

Background: Breast prosthesis infections are challenging and traditionally managed with prosthesis removal and delayed reconstruction. Single-application negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell (NPWTi-d) has shown promise for salvaging infected implants, though prior studies have been small and heterogeneous. This study analyzes outcomes and compares protocols from four institutions.

Auditory evoked potential electroencephalography-biometric dataset.

This work aims to assess the use of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals as a means of biometric authentication. More than 240 recordings, each lasting 2 min, were gathered from 20 subjects involved in the data collection. Data include the results of experiments performed both in a resting state and in the presence of auditory stimuli.

An IoT-based cognitive impairment detection device: A newly proposed method in older adults care-choice reaction time-device development and data-driven validation.

Background: Research shows that older adults' performance on choice reaction time (CRT) tests can predict cognitive decline. A simple CRT tool could help detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and preclinical dementia, allowing for further stratification of cognitive disorders on-site or via telemedicine.

Objective: The primary objective was to develop a CRT testing device and protocol to differentiate between two cognitive impairment categories: (a) subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment (na-MCI), and (b) amnestic mild cognitive impairment (a-MCI) and multiple-domain a-MCI (a-MCI-MD).

Mother's own milk and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in appropriate for gestational age preterm infants.

Objective: To evaluate the association between mother's own milk (MOM) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) preterm infants <32 weeks.

Methods: Clinical data of AGA preterm infants (24-31 weeks) were reviewed. Infants with ≥66% of cumulative prescribed enteral volumes as MOM from birth to 36 weeks were allocated to the high provision of MOM group (H-MOM), whereas those with <66% were assigned to the low provision of MOM group (L-MOM).

The Impact of a Multicomponent Platform Intervention on the Daily Lives of Older Adults.

Gerontechnology is an interdisciplinary field of research involving gerontology and technology in order to help older adults identify and slow down the effects of age-related physical and cognitive decline. It has enormous potential to allow individuals to remain in their own homes and improve their quality of life. This study aims to assess the impact of a multicomponent platform, consisting of an ambient sensor, wearable devices, and a cloud application, as an intervention in terms of usability and acceptance as primary outcomes and well-being, quality of life, and self-efficacy as secondary outcomes in a sample of 25 older adults aged over 65 after 21 days of non-supervised usage at home.
