Technology ownership, use, and perceptions of web-based program design features for older adults prescribed oral anticancer medication.

Introduction: Older adults are often prescribed oral anticancer agents (OAAs). Technology-based interventions may offer medication and symptom support. We aimed to evaluate technology ownership, use, and preferred design features of a supportive web-based program using a multimethod design utilizing surveys and semi-structured interviews.

Narrative review of pediatric thyroiditis: Diagnosis and management.

Objective: To the best of the authors' knowledge, no current literature reviews on pediatric thyroiditis exist. Our aim is to present relevant and updated information on pediatric thyroiditis subtypes and presentations.

Data Sources: A narrative review was performed using PubMed and Embase.

T1b gallbladder cancer: is extended resection warranted?

Background: Although the prognosis for gallbladder cancer (GBCA) improves with early diagnosis and aggressive surgical treatment, the management of patients with muscle layer invasion (T1b) remains controversial. This study aimed to analyze the optimal surgical approach for these patients.

Methods: A database was queried for patients with early T1b GBCA treated at four Chilean hospitals.

Robust and time-resolved estimation of cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic indices.

The time-resolved analysis of heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) is crucial for the evaluation of the dynamic changes of autonomic activity under different clinical and behavioural conditions. Standard HRV analysis is performed in the frequency domain because the sympathetic activations tend to increase low-frequency HRV oscillations, while the parasympathetic ones increase high-frequency HRV oscillations. However, a strict separation of HRV into frequency bands may cause biased estimations, especially in the low-frequency range.
