The effects of the generative adversarial network and personalized virtual reality platform in improving frailty among the elderly.

As society ages, improving the health of the elderly through effective training programs has become a pressing issue. Virtual reality (VR) technology, with its immersive experience, is increasingly being utilized as a vital tool in rehabilitation training for the elderly. To further enhance training outcomes and improve health conditions among the elderly, this work proposes an integrated model that combines the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), Variational Autoencoder (VAE), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network.

Can nurses remain relevant in a technologically advanced future?

Technological breakthroughs occur at an ever-increasing rate thereby revolutionizing human health and wellness care. Technological advancements have drastically changed the structure and organization of the healthcare industry. McKinsey Global Institute estimates that 800 million workers worldwide could be replaced by robots by the year 2030.

Endemicity of Toxoplasma infection and its associated risk factors in Cebu, Philippines.

Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled intracellular apicomplexan parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. It is capable of infecting humans and nearly all warm-blooded animals including pigs, but cats are the only known definitive host. This ubiquitous zoonotic pathogen can cause abortion, stillbirth and fetal abnormalities, and has been associated with mental and behavioral changes in humans.

Serological and molecular detection of Theileria equi and Babesia caballi in Philippine horses.

Theileria equi and Babesia caballi are tick-borne protozoan parasites that can cause anemia in horses. In the Philippines, serological detection of these parasites has only been reported in the Northern area (Luzon). In this study, 105 horses from Cebu and Bohol, Philippines were tested using peripheral blood smear examination (PBSE), immunochromatographic test (ICT) strips, and PCR.

Detection of , and spp. in dogs of Cebu, Philippines.

Background: , , and spp. are canine pathogens transmitted by the tick which can cause varied clinical signs. These pathogens have been investigated in the Philippines, but coinfection has not been reported yet.

Can Nursing Drive Technological Advances in Healthcare in the Asia-Pacific?

The Asia-Pacific healthcare industry is expected to grow at 11.1% in 2018. This has been considered one of the fastest growing regions in the world.

The potential anticoagulant property of crude extract.

Background: Anticoagulants have been used in the treatment of several circulatory diseases and thrombotic disorders, and in the blood sampling for hematologic analysis. Sulfated polysaccharides (SP), which have anticoagulant properties, are found in most seaweeds, including spp.

Objective: The study generally aimed to evaluate the potential anticoagulant property of .

Profile and artificial insemination practices of technicians and the artificial insemination success rates in Leyte, Samar, and Biliran, Philippines (2011-2015).

Background: Artificial insemination (AI) is a reproductive biotechnology that may be influenced by several factors, including the profile of the technicians and the practices used. Assessing technician's profile and their AI practices can be significant in improving AI success rate.

Aim: This study aimed to know the profile and current practices used by AI technicians (AITs), to determine the success rates of AI in water buffaloes in Leyte, Samar, and Biliran from 2011 to 2015, and to evaluate the possible association between the parameters investigated.

Multiple infections of variants in Philippine dogs.

Aim: , the causative agent of infectious canine cyclic thrombocytopenia, is a tick-borne pathogen that also has been implicated as potentially zoonotic. To provide molecular evidence on the multiple infections of variants in Philippine dogs.

Materials And Methods: DNA fragments of from infected dogs in the Philippines were molecularly characterized.
