The complexities of care in patients with advanced heart failure, ischemic coronary artery disease, and dysrhythmias span a wide spectrum of physiologic, psychologic, emotional, functional, social, and financial factors. In addition, families may be troubled by care needs associated with the cardiovascular disease itself or its complexities. The purpose of this overview was to gain a better understanding of the complexities associated with advanced heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and dysrhythmias and to highlight a few themes that have received recent attention from healthcare providers. The focus of the overview will include overcoming clinical and financial burdens and improving patient and family quality of life.

Mapping quantitative trait loci regions associated with Marek's disease on chicken autosomes by means of selective DNA pooling.

Marek's Disease (MD), which can result in neurological damage and tumour formation, has large effects on the economy and animal welfare of the poultry industry worldwide. Previously, we mapped autosomal MD QTL regions (QTLRs) by individual genotyping of an F population from a full-sib advanced intercross line. We further mapped MD QTLRs on the chicken Z chromosome (GGZ) using the same F population, and by selective DNA pooling (SDP) of 8 elite egg production lines.

Nursing activity recognition has immense importance in the development of smart healthcare management and is an extremely challenging area of research in human activity recognition. The main reasons are an extreme class-imbalance problem and intra-class variability depending on both the subject and the recipient. In this paper, we apply a unique two-step feature extraction, coupled with an intermediate feature 'Angle' and a new feature called mean min max sum to render the features robust against intra-class variation.

The unintended consequences of polypharmacy pose significant risks to older adults. The complexities of managing numerous medications from multiple prescribers demand a comprehensive approach to mitigate harms. Pharmacist-led clinics have been shown to improve outcomes in patients with diabetes and hypertension.

Decoding states of consciousness from brain activity is a central challenge in neuroscience. Dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) allows the study of short-term temporal changes in functional connectivity (FC) between distributed brain areas. By clustering dFC matrices from resting-state fMRI, we previously described "brain patterns" that underlie different functional configurations of the brain at rest.
