There is a common body of knowledge that must be familiar to all when interpreting architectural plans. Although health care practitioners may be experts in their own field, they may be unfamiliar with facility planning and design and therefore lack understanding of how to communicate effectively with the architectural team. The information provided is intended to familiarize nurses and other health care professionals with basic terminology and to provide an understanding of how to identify areas, structures, and dimensions on architectural plans.

Comfort is a central aspect of palliative care, encompassing the management of pain and symptoms, as well as how people feel and experience care. Comfort has been argued to be especially tenuous or transient in palliative care, as a constantly shifting set of bodily sensations and relations are anticipated and cared for. In this article, drawing on in-depth interviews and photo elicitation, we explore the accounts of patients, family carers, staff and volunteers from a palliative care service in Australia, to understand how care is configured and facilitated through everyday gestures of comfort.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death globally, highlighting the critical need for accurate diagnostic tools in medical imaging. Traditional segmentation methods for coronary angiograms often struggle with vessel discontinuity and inaccuracies, impeding effective diagnosis and treatment planning. To address these challenges, we developed the Local Adaptive Segmentation Framework (LASF), enhancing the YOLOv8 architecture with dilation and erosion algorithms to improve the continuity and precision of vascular image segmentation.

Research has proved a close relationship between environments and physiological as well as psychological responses. However, existing research based on neuroscience experiments demonstrated a clear dichotomy between natural and built environments in the selection of exposure settings. There is very limited research analyzing and comparing the effects of different urban environments on individual psychological health.
