Advances in wound care
Significance: As the number of hard-to-heal wound cases rises with the aging of the population and the spread of chronic diseases, health care professionals struggle to provide safe and effective care to all their patients simultaneously. This study aimed at providing an in-depth overview of the relevant methodologies of artificial intelligence (AI...

We know little about the effects of the reproductive health burden in contexts where unsafe abortions, miscarriages, stillbirths, and low-quality maternal care are common. The aim of this study is to investigate the use of allostatic load to understand the impact of reproductive histories on later-life health. We applied path models to the Indonesi...

Time series forecasting is a very vital research topic. The scale of time series in numerous industries has risen considerably in recent years as a result of the advancement of information technology. However, the existing algorithms pay little attention to generating large-scale time series. This article designs a state causality and adaptive cova...

BACKGROUND: Secondary bile acids entrain peripheral circadian clocks and inhibit colonic motility via the bile acid receptor GPBAR1. We aimed to investigate whether chronodisruption affected the rhythm in serum bile acid levels and whether this was associated with alterations in clock gene and Gpbar1 mRNA expression in the colonic smooth muscle lay...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, mandatory containment measures led to lockdowns and severely diminished social interaction, with older adults being one vulnerable group. Socially assistive robots (SARs) could prove to be an effective intervention. To explore the experiences of older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) with a SAR during the fi...

Over the last few years, research in automatic sleep scoring has mainly focused on developing increasingly complex deep learning architectures. However, recently these approaches achieved only marginal improvements, often at the expense of requiring more data and more expensive training procedures. Despite all these efforts and their satisfactory p...

This study analyzed cognitive differences between hearing-aid (HA) and non-HA users. We hypothesized that HA-use attenuates the auditory-cognitive cascade, thereby, the latter is more conspicuous in non-HA users. Since hearing impairment (HI) shows male predominance, we hypothesized gender differences within the auditory-cognitive relationship. Non...

Despite the negative impact of unsafe abortions on women's health and rights, the degree of abortion safety remains strikingly undocumented for a large share of abortions globally. Data on how women induce abortions (method, setting, provider) are central to the measurement of abortion safety. However, health-facility statistics and direct question...
