Wrist movements induce torque and lever force in the scaphoid: an ex vivo study

Abstract Purpose We hypothesised that intercarpal K-wire fixation of adjacent carpal bones would reduce torque and lever force within a fractured scaphoid bone. Methods In eight cadaver wrists, a scaphoid osteotomy was stabilised using a lo...

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) for Interoperability in Health Research: Systematic Review

BackgroundThe standard Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is widely used in health information technology. However, its use as a standard for health research is still less prevalent. To use existing data sources more efficien...

EPEPT: A web service for enhanced P-value estimation in permutation tests

Abstract Background In computational biology, permutation tests have become a widely used tool to assess the statistical significance of an event under investigation. However, the common way of computing the P-value, which expresses the sta...

Statistical data for the tensile properties and static fatigue of sic-based bundles

Due to their high specific strength at elevated temperatures and resistance to oxidative environments, SiC-based fibers are of great interest for the reinforcement of ceramic matrix composites. They are however subjected to a slow crack gro...

Automated measurement of CD8+ T-cell distribution at the tumor epithelial–stromal interface is associated with NSCLC immunotherapy benefit and transcriptomic pathways

Whereas anti-PD-(L)1 therapies are widely used in cancer treatment, only a subset of patients achieve long-term survival. Companion diagnostics based on PD-L1 expression have limited predictive power for these therapies, motivating developm...

Real-World Evaluation of AI-Driven Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in Public Health Settings: Validation and Implementation Study

Abstract BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) algorithms offer an effective solution to alleviate the burden of diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening in public health settings. However, there are challenges in translating diagno...

Mapping Intellectual Structure of Health Literacy Area Based on Co-Word Analysis in Web of Science Database during the Years 1993-2017

Introduction: Creating an image of the conceptual structure of health literacy area, as well as the study of interdisciplinary and the relationship between its domains seems necessary. The present study examined the intellectual structure o...

Mobile health approaches to disease surveillance in Africa; Wellvis COVID triage tool

COVID-19 has rapidly spread across the globe and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The COVID-19 infection continues to spread across Africa. In Africa, mobile phone applications have been used for the surveilla...

Digital quality gradient and the burden of elderly depression: A spatial multi kernel SVR analysis of socio economically vulnerable groups in England

Digital infrastructure is increasingly understood as part of the contemporary built environment and as a policy-relevant area-level correlate of older adults’ mental health. Existing studies have often relied on linear models and have paid ...

G-Aligner: a graph-based feature alignment method for untargeted LC–MS-based metabolomics

Abstract Background Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry is widely used in untargeted metabolomics for composition profiling. In multi-run analysis scenarios, features of each run are aligned into consensus features by feature alignment ...

Effects of chronic taurine administration on healthy pregnant rats and the consequences on the offspring: Datasets for motor tests and oxidative stress

We present the data for taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) treatment to healthy pregnant Sprague Dawley rats (SD). At embryonic day 15 (E15), healthy pregnant SD rats were given taurine treatment (50 mg/L drinking water) and then to their...

Challenges and conditions for successfully implementing and adopting the telematics infrastructure in German outpatient healthcare: A qualitative study applying the NASSS framework

Background Germany's healthcare system provides high-quality, universal health coverage to almost all residents. However, a major challenge lies in the strong separation of healthcare structures, which hinders efficient interprofessional an...

Injury death certificates without specification of the circumstances leading to the fatal injury – the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry 2005–2014

Abstract Background For injury deaths, the underlying cause of death is defined as the circumstances leading to the injury. When this information is missing, the ICD-10 code X59 (Exposure to unspecified factor) is used. Lack of knowledge of...
