Delivery time factor (DTF) is a new parameter introduced by the RayStation treatment planning system for tomotherapy treatment planning. This study investigated the effects of this factor on various t...
To clarify the characteristics of intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation requiring IOL suture or intraocular scleral fixation....
This retrospective consecutive case series included 21 eyes (21 patients) who required sutured or sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation following IOL extraction owing to IOL dislocation at the outpatie...
We included 21 eyes of 21 patients who required IOL suture or intrascleral fixation for IOL dislocation at our clinic from January to December 2019 were included. The most common background disease wa...
In this study, all 21 cases represented late IOL dislocations occurring after 3 months postoperatively. Among these late IOL dislocation cases, IOL dislocation occurred in a short-medium period of tim...
Large-scale and multidimensional spatiotemporal data sets are becoming ubiquitous in many real-world applications such as monitoring urban traffic and air quality. Making predictions on these time ser...
Postmeningitis deafness appears in 0-11% of the meningitis cases. Cochlear ossification can develop in these patients, which may make the hearing rehabilitation impossible with cochlear implantation. ...
The aim of this study was to examine the time factor between the appearance of deafness and the first examination in a cochlear implant centre, the possibilities and effectivity of hearing rehabilitat...
In our tertial referral centre, postmeningitis deafened patients were examined between 2014 and 2022 retrospectively. Hearing results, imaging, possibilities of rehabilitation, complications of cochle...
8 patients (3 children, 5 adults) were investigated. The time between the start of deafness and the first appearance varied between 3 weeks to 9 years. Bilateral profound hearing loss was measured in ...
The rehabilitation of severe hearing loss caused by meningitis can present many challenges to clinicians. A critical point in the care is the urgent referral of patients to a cochlear implantation cen...
It is recommended to develop a new protocol with the involvement of allied professions to clear patient pathways for an effective treatment strategy. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(19): 729-738....
The duty factor (reflecting the ratio of stance to flight time) is an important variable related to running performance, economy, and injury risk. According to the dual-axis model, the duty factor and...
Can people modulate their duty factor based on verbal instructions to change either their stance or flight time without changing their cadence? And, if so, which instruction is most effective?...
Twelve participants ran on an instrumented treadmill and completed four training blocks starting with a baseline trial and ending with a performance trial in which they followed verbal instructions to...
The duty factor changed in intended directions with verbal instructions to increase and decrease the stance and flight time (18.04 ≤ BF...
Runners can change their duty factor through verbal instructions pertaining to stance or flight time, without clear concomitant effects on cadence. Running styles can thus be altered with verbal instr...
Cholecystectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in Germany and is performed as a treatment of acute cholecystitis (guideline S3 IIIB.8) and after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancr...
Methodologically, a retrospective analysis based on routine billing data from 84 Helios Group hospitals from 2016 and 2022, with a total of 45 393 included cases, was applied. The guideline adherence ...
Results show the guideline updates led to a statistically significant increase in the proportion of cholecystectomy performed in a timely manner (guideline S3 IIIB.8: increase from 43% to 49%, p<0.001...
As possible reasons for non-adherence, medical factors such as advanced age, multimorbidity and frailty could be identified. Analyses of structural factors revealed that hospitals in very rural region...
Nonattendance is a common problem worldwide. Important factors for nonattendance are a queue or the waiting time until the planned service....
The aims of this study were to identify the reasons for nonattendance to planned consultations, assess the waiting time from registration to access to an outpatient specialist consultation, and identi...
A cross-sectional study based on a phone questionnaire was conducted among patients not attending a planned consultation at the outpatient department of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Ka...
The mean respondents' waiting time until the planned outpatient consultation was 15.13 ± 10 days. The highest proportion of nonattendance was observed when the wait time was between 6 and 17 days. Mor...
Patients did not identify the long waiting time until outpatient specialist consultation among the main reasons for nonattendance. The issue of waiting time is not an important aspect of nonattendance...
In this paper, two distributed finite-time neurodynamic algorithms are proposed to collaboratively manage the charging scheme of electric vehicles (EVs) in the microgrid scenario. First, the upper lev...
Rotator cuff pathology in competitive athletes is common and may produce chronic symptoms and joint disability, impairing sports participation and leading to premature retirement. Athletes are a high-...
To investigate the time-dependent effects of traditional risk factors on functional disability in all-cause mortality post-stroke, we evaluated data from a long-term stroke cohort. Baseline cerebrovas...
