Residential Consumer Understanding of Electricity Bills
The neoclassical model of economics assumes that greater the information available, the easier it is for a consumer to make decisions. In the context of electricity usage, overwhelming amounts of information presented on energy...
An Improved Firefly Algorithm-Based 2-D Image Thresholding for Brain Image Fusion
In this article, an attempt is made to diagnose brain diseases like neoplastic, cerebrovascular, Alzheimer's, and sarcomas by the effective fusion of two images. The two images are fused in three steps. Step 1. Segmentation: The...

A 2D Histogram-Based Image Thresholding Using Hybrid Algorithms for Brain Image Fusion
In this article an effort is made to identify brain tumor disease such as neoplastic, cerebrovascular, Alzheimer's, lethal, sarcoma diseases by successful fusion of images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed...
Experimental and Computational Approaches to Direct Cell Reprogramming
The process of direct cell reprogramming, also named transdifferentiation, permits for the conversion of one mature cell type directly into another, without returning to a dedifferentiated state. This makes direct reprogramming...
Electric Field Assisted Self-Healing of Open Circuits with Conductive Particle-Insulating Fluid Dispersions
Open circuit faults in electronic systems are a common failure mechanism, particularly in large area electronic systems such as display and image sensor arrays, flexible electronics and wearable electronics. To address this...
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR IDENTIFYING NEW DISEASE CLUSTERS IN PATIENTS WITH PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS/PSORIASIS
Background Psoriatic arthritis (PsA)/Psoriasis (PsO) patients present with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs), and more than half of PsA patients have ≥1 LTC, which have an impact on the quality of life. We used the Clinical...
Identifying drug combinations associated with acute kidney injury using association rules method

Background: Older adults are at an increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) because of aging, multiple comorbidities, and polypharmacy. Objectives: The aim of this case-crossover study was to apply association rule (AR)...

DEFEAT-polypharmacy

Background Prolonged use of anticholinergic and sedative medicines is correlated with worsening cognition and physical function decline. Deprescribing is a proposed intervention that can help to minimise polypharmacy whilst...

Analysis of the nervous system and gastrointestinal adverse events associated with solifenacin in older adults using the US FDA adverse event reporting system

BACKGROUND: Antimuscarinics are the backbone of the pharmacological management of overactive bladder. Still, concerns have been raised over the nervous system (NS) adverse drug events (AEs) due to their dissimilarities to...

An Updated Analysis of Psychotropic Medicine Utilisation in Older People in New Zealand from 2005 to 2019

Background: Psychotropic medicine utilisation in older adults continues to be of interest because of overuse and concerns surrounding its safety and efficacy. Objective: This study aimed to characterise the utilisation of...

Polyglycerol-based hydrogels and nanogels
Hydrogels and nanogels have emerged as promising materials for biomedical applications owing to their large surface area and tunable mechanical and chemical properties. Their large surface area is well suited for bioconjugation...
Risk of delirium associated with antimuscarinics in older adults

Background: Older adults are at an increased risk of delirium because of age, polypharmacy, multiple comorbidities and acute illness. Antimuscarinics are the backbone of the pharmacological management of overactive bladder....

Analysis of the adverse events following the mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to characterize the adverse events (AEs) following the administration of the mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data.

METHODS: In this...

Analysis of the US FDA adverse event reporting system to identify adverse cardiac events associated with hydroxychloroquine in older adults
Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to identify adverse cardiac events of hydroxychloroquine in older adults. Method A case/non‐case method was used to determine...
Comparative risk of Parkinsonism associated with olanzapine, risperidone and quetiapine in older adults-a propensity score matched cohort study

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of Parkinsonism in new users of second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) in older adults (≥65 years). In the secondary analyses, we examined the risk of...
