Cardiac arrest in older adult patients

2021

Purpose of review To describe the epidemiology, prognostication, and treatment of out- and in-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA and IHCA) in elderly patients. Recent findings Elderly patients undergoing cardiac arrest (CA) challenge the appropriateness of attempting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Current literature suggests that factors traditionally associated with survival to hospital discharge and neurologically intact survival after CA cardiac arrest in general (e.g. presenting ryhthm, bystander CPR, targeted temperature management) may not be similarly favorable in elderly patients. Alternative factors meaningful for outcome in this special population include prearrest functional sta…

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation over the Right Inferior Parietal Cortex Reduces Transposition Errors in a Syllabic Reordering Task

2021

Evidence derived from functional imaging and brain-lesion studies has shown a strong left lateralization for language, and a complementary right hemisphere dominance for visuospatial abilities. Nevertheless, the symmetrical functional division of the two hemispheres gives no reason for the complexity of the cognitive operations involved in carrying out a linguistic task. In fact, a growing number of neuroimaging and neurostimulation studies suggest a possible right hemisphere involvement in language processing. The objective of this work was to verify the contribution of the left and right parietal areas in a phonological task. We applied anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS…

Mobilities and the network of personal technologies: Refining the understanding of mobility structure

2017

Our ambition here is to refine the various typologies that compose the mobility structure. We aim to complement the work done by Urry and investigate the role played in the structure of mobility by what we call the “network of personal technologies”. Our new model consists of four different levels: macro-mobilities, micro-mobilities, media mobility and disembodied mobilities. By “macro-mobilities,” we refer to the actions which imply consistent physical displacement, such as travels, tours and commuting. By “micro-mobilities,” we mean small-scale displacements, including bodily movements and emotions. With moving media, we refer both to the new mobility provided by the smartphone to the tra…

Consistency of Independent Component Analysis for FMRI

2021

Background Independent component analysis (ICA) has been widely used for blind source separation in the field of medical imaging. However, despite of previous substantial efforts, the stability of ICA components remains a critical issue which has not been adequately addressed, despite numerous previous efforts. Most critical is the inconsistency of some of the extracted components when ICA is run with different model orders (MOs). New Method In this study, a novel method of determining the consistency of component analysis (CoCA) is proposed to evaluate the consistency of extracted components with different model orders. In the method, “consistent components” (CCs) are defined as those whic…

Tensor clustering on outer-product of coefficient and component matrices of independent component analysis for reliable functional magnetic resonance…

2019

Background. Stability of spatial components is frequently used as a post-hoc selection criteria for choosing the dimensionality of an independent component analysis (ICA) of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. Although the stability of the ICA temporal courses differs from that of spatial components, temporal stability has not been considered during dimensionality decisions. New method. The current study aims to (1) develop an algorithm to incorporate temporal course stability into dimensionality selection and (2) test the impact of temporal course on the stability of the ICA decomposition of fMRI data via tensor clustering. Resting state fMRI data were analyzed with two popu…

Multiplicity of solutions for asymptotically linear $n$-th order boundary value problems

2007

In this paper we investigate existence and multiplicity of solutions, with prescribed nodal properties, to a two-point boundary value problem of asymptotically linear $n$-th order equations. The proof follows a shooting approach and it is based on the weighted eigenvalue theory for linear $n$-th order boundary value problems

Narratives by women managers about spousal support for their careers

2014

In this article we present a qualitative study of spousal support for the careers of women managers. The research material consists of the narratives of 25 women managers in Finland. The study has two main implications. Firstly, unlike previous studies, we use a narrative approach to demonstrate that a woman manager's career and spousal support are experienced as ambiguous and evolving over the career. The support was constructed by the women managers as flourishing, irrelevant, deficient or inconsistent. Secondly, to increase our knowledge about gender relations, we combine discussion of the topic with gender order analysis and suggest that gender order is critical for an understanding of …

Nałożenie rąk w sakramentalnych obrzędach chrześcijańskiego Wschodu. Studium na przykładzie praktyki w Kościołach syryjskich i bizantyjskich

2020

Problematyka niniejszego studium oscyluje wokół niezwykle ważnego gestu sakramentalnego jakim jest nałożenie rąk, który choć wspólny całemu chrześcijaństwu, posiada różną formę i znaczenie w poszczególnych tradycjach liturgicznych. Kolejne części artykułu w syntetyczny sposób prezentują najpierw terminologię związana z tym gestem, a następnie praktykę i po części też teologię nałożenia rąk w celebracji misteriów (= sakramentów) Kościołów syryjskich i bizantyjskich. W pierwszej kolejności uwaga skupia się na sakramencie święceń, którego nazwa własna we wspólnotach chrześcijańskiego Wschodu nawiązuje właśnie do gestu włożenia rąk. Kolejny punkt dotyczy gestu włożenia rąk w chrześcijańskiej in…

Principios rectores en la adopción de diligencias limitativas de los derechos reconocidos en el art. 18 ce

2021

Criminal Procedure Law reform carried out in 2015 requires, in order to adopt the investigation proceedings that limit the rights recognized by art. 18 Spanish Constitution, to respect the guiding principles of specialty, suitability, exceptionality, necessity and proportionality. This article aims, departing from the legal text and considering existing jurisprudence, to unveil the true meaning of these principles.
