In a mass casualty incident, the factors that determine survival rate of injured patients are diverse, but one key is time for triage. Additionally, main factor determines triage number medical personnel. However, when relying on small personnel, ability to increase survivability limited. Therefore, developing classification model prediction can quickly and precisely via wearable devices without personnel important. this study, we designed consciousness index substitute by manpower improved...

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an easy and convenient method by which to measure heart rate (HR). However, PPG signals that optically volumetric changes in blood are not robust motion artifacts.

We determined the relationships between metabolic score for IR (METS-IR), triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, and homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) incident advanced liver fibrosis (ALF) assessed abilities of three indicators to predict ALF in patients with non-alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) adults NAFLD who were aged 40-69 years old. Among 2218 participants at baseline, areas under receiver operating characteristic curve predicting METS-IR was 0.744 (0.679-0.810), significantly higher...

An important barrier to smoking-cessation counseling for physicians is a lack of education at the undergraduate level. Interactive methods such as peer role-play (RP) or modules utilizing standardized patients (SPs) may be effective medical students enhance their performance on tobacco cessation counseling. This study compared effectiveness module using SPs that RP
