Identifying users' frequent behaviors is considered a key step to achieving real, intelligent environments that support people in their daily lives. These patterns can be used in many different applications. An algorithm that compares current behaviors of users with previously discovered frequent behaviors has been developed. In addition, it identifies the differences between both behaviors. Identified shifts can be used not only to adapt frequent behaviors, but also shifts may indicate initial signs of some diseases linked to behavioral modifications, such as depression or Alzheimer's. The algorithm was validated using datasets collected from smart apartments where five different ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) were recognized. It was able to identify all shifts from frequent behaviors, as well as identifying necessary modifications in all cases.

Left- and right-side unilateral spatial neglect: Hemispheric differences.

Department of Psychology, University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy; MiBTec, University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy. Electronic address:
Neglect of one side of space, typically contralateral to a lesion of one cerebral hemisphere, is a multicomponent neurologic syndrome. In humans, left neglect after right brain damage is more frequent, severe, or both, than right neglect after left brain damage. Right neglect is behaviorally like left neglect.

Hemispheric asymmetry in pathologic involvement is frequently observed in neurodegenerative disorders (NDD) and is responsible for differences in cognitive and motor clinical manifestations in individual patients. While asymmetry is modest in typical Alzheimer disease (AD), atypical AD presentations with prominent language impairment [logopenic/phonologic variant of primary progressive aphasia (L/Phv-PPA)] are associated with prevalent involvement of the language-dominant hemisphere. Similarly, in the frontotemporal dementia-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD-ALS) spectrum, the semantic (Sv) and nonfluent/agrammatic (Nf/Av) variants of PPA are due to asymmetric pathology involving the language-dominant hemisphere.

Research unit for General Practice, Department of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
Background: Frequent attenders (more than 11 annual contacts) use more resources than most other patients in general practice.
Aim: We aim to study what characterises frequent attenders related to age, gender, mode of contact (face-to-face, email, phone), and patient contact (GP or GP staff).
Design & Setting: We use patient data from 11 Danish GP clinics and 38.
A pan-cancer analysis of small nucleolar RNA host gene 14 (SNHG14) in human tumors.

Department of Critical Care Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, Anhui 230001, China. Electronic address:
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with tumorigenesis and progression. One of these, short nucleolar RNA host gene 14 (SNHG14), has exhibited significant prognostic value due to its aberrant expression across various tumor types. This study investigates the expression patterns, survival outcomes, and tumor stages associated with SNHG14 across various cancers, employing data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression and The Cancer Genome Atlas databases.
