Objective: Dynamical analysis can be used to study the changes of self-regulated biological processes driven by external stimuli. Recently, heart rate during effort tests has been successfully adjusted with a simple first order differential equation …
Performance is usually assessed by simple indices stemming from cardiac and respiratory data measured during graded exercise test. The goal of this study is to characterize the indices produced by a dynamical analysis of HR and VO2 for different …
This article proposes a dynamical system modeling approach for the analysis of longitudinal data of self-regulated homeostatic systems experiencing multiple excitations. It focuses on the evolution of a signal (e.g., heart rate) before, during, and …
PURPOSE: To assess the association of back pain and treatment-seeking behavior for such pain with work-related emotional burden (regret about care), regret coping strategies, and physical burden among newly practicing nurses.METHODS: We used data …
**Objective** To compare several methods of missing data imputation for function (Health Assessment Questionnaire) and for disease activity (Disease Activity Score-28 and Clinical Disease Activity Index) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. …
AbstractObjective. To examine the association of the evolution in physician-reported and patient-reported outcomes with decision to stop biological DMARDs (bDM
AIMS OF THE STUDY: (1) To assess the associations of care-related regrets with job satisfaction and turnover intention; and (2) to examine whether these associations are partially mediated by coping strategies.METHODS: Data came from ICARUS, a …
Using time-resolved ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy we investigated the electron-lattice energy transfer in small copper nanospheres with diameters ranging from 3.2 to 23 nm, either embedded in a glass or dispersed in a solvent. Electron-lattice …
Objective To compare the real-word effectiveness of subcutaneous tocilizumab (TCZ-SC) and intravenous tocilizumab (TCZ-IV) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods Patients with RA with TCZ from eight European registries were included. Drug retention was …
Atmospheric clearness is a key issue for free space optical communications (FSO). We present an active method to achieve FSO through clouds and fog, using ultrashort high-intensity laser filaments. The laser filaments opto-mechanically expel the …
