Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. The purpose this study was to explore patient’s and physician’s factors that are correlated with smoking cessation success rate. A total 877 smokers who visited outpatient services at a medical center in Northern Taiwan were recruited for study. Phone interviews carried out six months after initial visit evaluate rate cessation. result showed abstinence six-month 37.7%. By multivariate logistic regression model, predictive had lower...
Predictors for success in smoking cessation have been studied, but a prediction model capable of providing rate each patient attempting to quit is still lacking. The aim this study develop models using machine learning algorithms predict the outcome cessation. Data was acquired from patients underwent program at one medical center Northern Taiwan. A total 4875 enrollments fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Models with artificial neural network (ANN), support vector (SVM), random forest (RF),...
Cigarette smoking affects blood pressure and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The role of cessation programs with respect to remains inconclusive. Thus, this study aimed investigate the effects program on pressure.Participants who attended in an outpatient clinic tertiary medical center Taiwan from 2017 2018 were enrolled retrospective cohort study. Their status was traced via phone calls during third month, researchers collected participant characteristics before after...
The railway track fastener is the most important component of rail fastening system. It can fasten onto crosstie, and has great influence on train's stability safety. In early days, patrol maintenance were carried out foot by workers, gradually adjusted to use vehicles, but still completely rely manual visual inspection. However, results inspection may be limited vehicle 's speed angle, or even long -term cause fatigue, problem omission. this study, we not only collect related research...
Abstract Objectives The cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the association between burnout, work-related factors, and metabolic syndrome (Mets) in nurses from several departments of a tertiary hospital Taiwan. Exploring biomarkers could provide for prevention. Methods Demographic data were obtained through written questionnaire include following information: gender, age, education level, psychosocial work situations, such as departments, working hours, shift, depression, sleep time....
In order to save manpower on rail track inspection, computer vision-based methodologies are developed. We propose utilizing the YOLOv4-Tiny neural network identify defects in real time. There ten covering fasteners, surfaces, and sleepers from upward six about waist sideward. The proposed real-time inspection system includes a high-performance notebook, two sports cameras, three parallel processes. hardware is mounted flat cart running at 30 km/h. results abnormal components could be queried...
Abstract Background This study assessed the performance of visceral adiposity index and body shape in predicting diabetes mellitus (DM) risk compared their predictive ability to that mass waist circumference. Methods Among 8249 consecutive subjects who attended Nationwide Health Check Up System for Senior Citizens (≥ 65 years) between 2008 2018, we examined associations several indices with DM explored gender differences. Results all indicators, Chinese (CVAI) demonstrated highest...
Smoking cessation in the elderly is very important. This study aims to explore success rate of smoking and factors that predict cessation. We collected data from smokers ≥60 years who visited a medical center Taiwan during 2017. All patients were prescribed either varenicline or nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for The participants asked about their status after treatment. In total, 129 enrolled. three- six-month point abstinence was 48.1%. No significant difference found among baseline...
Objective This study aimed to examine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of seven previously reported obesity genes in East Asians and analyse their associations synergistic effects on the Taiwanese population. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting One medical centre northern Taiwan. Participants A total 323 non-obese 264 obese participants were recruited. The threshold for this was a body mass index ≥27 kg/m 2 , as defined by Ministry Health Welfare performed with approval institutional...
This study proposes a deep learning method for pavement defect detection, focusing on identifying potholes and cracks. A dataset comprising 10,828 images is collected, with 8662 allocated training, 1083 validation, testing. Vehicle attitude data are categorized based three-axis acceleration change, 6656 (64%) 1664 (16%) 2080 (20%) The Nvidia Jetson Nano serves as the vehicle-embedded system, transmitting IMU-acquired vehicle GoPro-captured over 5G network to server. server recognizes two...
Background/Purpose . Metabolic syndrome (MetS) poses a major public health burden on the general population worldwide. Syndecan-3 (SDC3), heparin sulfate proteoglycan, had been found by previous studies to be linked with energy balance and obesity, but its association MetS is not known. The objective of this study investigate whether SDC3 polymorphism (rs2282440) associated in Taiwanese population. Methods Genotypes were analyzed 545 adult subjects, which 154 subjects MetS. Results Subjects...
Smoking cessation reduces morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose this study was to evaluate the effect during smoking treatment on glycemic control cardiometabolic risk factors, including blood pressure lipid levels, in patients with type 2 diabetes.This retrospective cohort included diabetes who participated a program, which comprised health education medication prescription at an outpatient clinic combination 3-month follow-up by phone. Data patient background...
Different quitting trajectories may reflect the stages of behavior change among smokers. The nature patterns could help public health sector to design appropriate cessation plans. This study compared demographic, health, and behavioral characteristics effects long-term abstinence between early delayed abstainers.We retrospectively sampled 142 abstainers from smoking clinic participants for a conducted January 1 December 31, 2017. Baseline information was obtained at first visit, phone...
Railway track fasteners are used to fasten the railway onto crosstie and improve train's stability safety.Automatic detection systems have been developed for safety.Most of these deployed line scan sensors capture high-quality images.These can high-resolution images, but they also expensive.In addition, recognition kernels range from traditional computer vision deep learning methods.In this study, we set up a fastener sensing device on flat car by using general sport cameras LED lamps images...
Abstract Background Physicians should be equipped with professional competence in health literacy to communicate more effectively patients limited literacy. However, the curriculum has not yet been refined globally, and is scarce Taiwan’s medical education. We implemented an innovative instructional module attain among students investigated its effects. Methods adopted a quasi-experimental design recruited 204 fifth-year Taiwanese between December 2019 May 2020. Participants who worked as...
