Each year, an estimated 590,000 infants acquire human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) infection from their mothers, mostly in developing countries that are unable to implement interventions now standard the industrialized world. In resource-poor settings, HIV pandemic has eroded hard-won gains infant and child survival. Recent clinical trial results international settings suggest short-course antiretroviral regimens could significantly reduce perinatal transmission worldwide if research...
As Moore’s law reaches its end, traditional computing technology based on the Von Neumann architecture is facing fundamental limits. Among them poor energy efficiency. This situation motivates investigation of different processing information paradigms, such as use spiking neural networks, which also introduce cognitive characteristics. applications at very high scale are addressed, dissipation needs to be minimized. effort starts from neuron cell. In this context, paper presents design an...
The society as a whole, and many vertical sectors in particular, is becoming increasingly digitalized. Machine Type Communication (MTC), encompassing its massive critical aspects, ubiquitous wireless connectivity are among the main enablers of such digitization at large. recently introduced 5G New Radio natively designed to support both aspects MTC promote digital transformation society. However, it evident that some more demanding requirements cannot be fully supported by networks....
The management of patients with syncope in the emergency department (ED) is challenging because no robust risk tool available has been recommended for clinical use.To validate Canadian Syncope Risk Score (CSRS) a new cohort to determine its ability predict 30-day serious outcomes not evident during index ED evaluation.This prospective multicenter study conducted at 9 EDs across Canada included 16 years and older who presented within 24 hours syncope. Patients were enrolled from March 2014...
Abstract The recently introduced 5G New Radio is the first wireless standard natively designed to support critical and massive machine type communications (MTC). However, it already becoming evident that some of more demanding requirements for MTC cannot be fully supported by networks. Alongside, emerging use cases applications towards 2030 will give rise new stringent on connectivity in general particular. Next generation networks, namely 6G, should therefore an agile efficient convergent...
Background Older adults have become a significant portion of the trauma population. Exploring their specificities is crucial to better meet specific needs. The primary objective was evaluate temporal changes in incidence, demographic and characteristics, injury pattern, in-hospital admission, complications, outcome older patients. Methods A multicenter retrospective cohort study conducted using Quebec Trauma Registry. Patients aged ≥16 years admitted one three adult level-I centers between...
Abstract Background Multifaceted interventions that address barriers and facilitators have been shown to be most effective for increasing the adoption of high-value care, but there is a knowledge gap on this type intervention de-implementation low-value care. Trauma high-risk setting such as unnecessary diagnostic imaging use specialized resources. The aim our study was develop assess usability multifaceted reduce injury Methods We used Consolidated Framework Implementation Research Expert...
frailty is a central concept in geriatric medicine, yet its utility the Emergency Department (ED) not well understood nor utilised. Our objectives were to develop an ED index (FI-ED), using Rockwood cumulative deficits model and evaluate association with adverse outcomes.this was large multinational prospective cohort study data from interRAI Multinational Study. The FI-ED developed Canadian validated cohort. All patients aged ≥75 years presenting included. created 24 variables included...
Caring for older patients can be challenging in the Emergency Department (ED). A > 12 hr ED stay could lead to incident episodes of delirium those patients. The aim this study was assess incidence and impacts ED-stay associated delirium.A historical cohort who presented a Canadian 2009 2011 randomly constituted. Included were aged ≥ 65 years old, admitted any hospital ward, non-delirious upon arrival had at least 12-hour stay. Delirium detected using modified chart-based Confusion Assessment...
Wireless communication in millimeter wave bands, namely above 20 GHz and up to 300 is foreseen as a key enabler technology for the next generation of wireless systems. The huge available bandwidth contemplated achieve high data rate communications, hence, fulfill requirements future networks. Several Beyond 5G applications are considered these systems: capacity backhaul, enhanced hot-spot kiosk well short-range Device-to-Device communications. In this paper we propose discuss trade-offs...
<h3>Background:</h3> Emergency physicians lack high-quality evidence for many diagnostic and treatment decisions made patients with suspected or confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Our objective is to describe the methods used collect ensure data quality of a multicentre registry presenting emergency department COVID-19. <h3>Methods:</h3> This methodology study describes population-based that has been enrolling consecutive COVID-19 since Mar. 1, 2020. Most are collected from...
Predicting mortality from COVID-19 using information available when patients present to the emergency department can inform goals-of-care decisions and assist with ethical allocation of critical care resources. The study objective was develop validate a clinical score predict in-hospital among consecutive nonpalliative COVID-19; in this study, we define palliative as those who do not want resuscitative measures, such intubation, intensive unit or cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) evolved between pandemic waves. Our objective was to compare treatments, acute care utilization, and outcomes of COVID-19 patients presenting emergency departments (ED) across
<h3>Background:</h3> Ground-level falls are common among older adults and the most frequent cause of traumatic intracranial bleeding. The aim this study was to derive a clinical decision rule that safely excludes clinically important bleeding in who present emergency department after fall, without need for computed tomography (CT) scan head. <h3>Methods:</h3> This prospective cohort 11 departments Canada United States enrolled patients aged 65 years or presented falling from standing on...
Abstract Objective Improving care transitions for older adults can reduce emergency department (ED) visits, adverse events, and empower community autonomy. We conducted an inductive qualitative content analysis to identify themes emerging from comments better understand ED transitions. Methods The LEARNING WISDOM prospective longitudinal observational cohort includes (≥ 65 years) who experienced a transition after visit both before during COVID-19. Their on this were collected via phone...

Results A total 502 included which 177 (35.3%) had subject matter relevant recipient’s research interests previous work. Two hundred...
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common problem. Depending on diagnostic criteria, 13 to 62% of those patients develop persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS). The main objective this prospective multi-center study derive and validate clinical decision rule (CDR) for the early prediction PPCS. Patients aged ≥14 years were included if they presented one our seven participating emergency departments (EDs) within 24 h an mTBI. Clinical data collected in ED, symptom evolution was...
