Semi-local Time sensitive Anonymization of Clinical Data.

A method for the anonymization of time-continuous data, which preserves the relation between the time- and value dimension is proposed in this work. The approach protects against linking- and distribution attacks by providing k-anonymity and t-closeness. Distributions can be generated from given sets using Distribution Clustering, according to the similarity of the curves, which serve as a replacement for the population distribution.

Closed-Loop Control of Arterial CO in Mechanical Ventilation of Neonates.

During mechanical ventilation of the neonate the main goal is to stabilize respiratory function of the often premature lungs. Ventilating the patient without inflicting harm is then the subordinated next goal. Ideally the arterial partial pressure of CO lays within a normocapnic range and fluctuations are kept minimal.
