Interactive Web-based Emergency Neuroradiology Course with Self-Assessment for Radiology Residents: A Pilot Project.

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of an online, case-based interactive course in emergency neuroradiology to prepare radiology residents for night call in neuroradiology.

Methods: A total of 15 residents participated in a pretest assessment of preparedness for neuroradiology call. After completing a 6-week interactive course incorporating case review, didactic lectures, quiz feedback, and references for further review, the same residents were quizzed on cognitive questions and feelings of readiness to enter the on-call pool for neuroradiology.

A diverse and multi-modal gait dataset of indoor and outdoor walks acquired using multiple cameras and sensors.

Gait datasets are often limited by a lack of diversity in terms of the participants, appearance, viewing angle, environments, annotations, and availability. We present a primary gait dataset comprising 1,560 annotated casual walks from 64 participants, in both indoor and outdoor real-world environments. We used two digital cameras and a wearable digital goniometer to capture visual as well as motion signal gait-data respectively.

Stakeholders' Perspectives regarding Participation in Neuromodulation-Based Dementia Intervention Research.

This study evaluated stakeholders' perspectives regarding participation in two hypothetical neuromodulation trials focused on individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRDs). Stakeholders (i.e.

Haematuria, a widespread petechial rash, and headaches following the Oxford AstraZeneca ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 Vaccination.

With increasing presentations of headaches following COVID-19 vaccination, we present one of the UK's earliest proven cases of vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopaenia (VITT), with the aim of giving colleagues a case to compare other patients against. Our patient was a 48-year-old man who presented with frank haematuria, a widespread petechial rash, and headaches, 2 weeks after receiving the first dose of the Oxford AstraZeneca ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. He had a platelet count of 14×10/L and an extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) with subarachnoid haemorrhage on imaging.

A Hybrid Hierarchical Framework for Free Weight Exercise Recognition and Intensity Measurement with Accelerometer and ECG Data Fusion.

Accurate recognition and effective monitoring of physical activities (PA) in daily life is a goal of many healthcare fields. Existing PA recognition approaches are mostly designed for specific scenarios and often lack extensibility for application in other areas, thereby limiting their usefulness. In this paper, we present a hybrid hierarchical framework that successfully combines two of the main specific-sensor-based PA methods into an effective hybrid solution for general weight exercise applications.

Examining sensor-based physical activity recognition and monitoring for healthcare using Internet of Things: A systematic review.

Due to importantly beneficial effects on physical and mental health and strong association with many rehabilitation programs, Physical Activity Recognition and Monitoring (PARM) have been considered as a key paradigm for smart healthcare. Traditional methods for PARM focus on controlled environments with the aim of increasing the types of identifiable activity subjects complete and improving recognition accuracy and system robustness by means of novel body-worn sensors or advanced learning algorithms. The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) enabling technology is transferring PARM studies to open and connected uncontrolled environments by connecting heterogeneous cost-effective wearable devices and mobile apps.

Disulfiram treatment increases plasma and red blood cell acetaldehyde in abstinent alcoholics.

Background: Much of alcohol's toxicity is due to its product, acetaldehyde. The role of acetaldehyde derived from endogenous sources was assessed in alcoholic patients administered disulfiram, an inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase.

Methods: The first part of the study included 23 subjects without biochemical or clinical evidence of chronic liver disease who were abstinent for 2 weeks; 11 patients were started on disulfiram (250 mg/day), whereas the other 12 were not given disulfiram and served as controls.

Alcoholism is associated with hepatitis C but not hepatitis B in an urban population.

Objectives: Previous studies have suggested an association of viral hepatitis with alcoholism, although the role of confounding risk factors (e.g. i.
