Corresponding sensor ontologies through siamese neural systems without the need for guide place.
The use of simulation in health training has increased significantly in recent years. In geriatrics/gerontology, the simulation of age-related limitations enables users to experience the functional and sensory limitations that older people live with. The objective of this scoping review is to identify and describe studies exploring the effects of age-simulation on students and health professionals. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase and Eric databases using key words related to health simulation and gerontology. Articles in English or French published after 2000 were considered. Two researchers independently selected and analysed all the studies. The characteristics of the simulations, the student and professional cohorts involved, the measurement tools used, and the effects of the ageing-simulation experience are described. From 428 references obtained using the search terms, 13 studies were included. These studies were conducted between 2001 and 2019 and were mainly from the United States. A variety of simulations were conducted. Four studies reported a positive effect of the experiment on participants' empathy towards older people. An effect on attitudes was noted in six studies, with varying results. We conclude that educational workshops to simulate difficulties in carrying out daily activities may improve empathy towards older people among students and care professionals. The effects of this approach on caring attitudes were varied and should be explored further.This study is aimed to explore whether professional exhaustion among caregivers working in nursing homes causes an increased perception of resident aggressiveness and a lower satisfaction in the relationship between the caregiver and the resident. The data were collected from a sample of 52 nurses and caregivers working in retirement homes. We compared the perception of aggressiveness and relational satisfaction in 26 caregivers to 26 without a professional exhaustion condition, using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Yudofsky's Manifest Aggression Scale, and Wilguski's Caregiver Satisfaction Scale. The results show that caregivers with professional exhaustion have a much greater perception of resident aggressiessiveness. This perception of aggressiessiveness generates a relational dissatisfaction with the resident. Professional exhaustion is therefore associated with higher perception of aggressiveness and relational dissatisfaction.Comparing the genes expressed at the maternal-fetal interface in different species helps to pinpoint those that contribute to a healthy pregnancy by regulating the activity of the immune system.As countries in the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) increasingly focus their malaria control and elimination efforts on reducing forest-related transmission, greater understanding of the relationship between deforestation and malaria incidence will be essential for programs to assess and meet their 2030 elimination goals. Leveraging village-level health facility surveillance data and forest cover data in a spatio-temporal modeling framework, we found evidence that deforestation is associated with short-term increases, but long-term decreases confirmed malaria case incidence in Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). We identified strong associations with deforestation measured within 30 km of villages but not with deforestation in the near (10 km) and immediate (1 km) vicinity. Results appear driven by deforestation in densely forested areas and were more pronounced for infections with Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) than for Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax).

However, the neural mechanisms underlying subjective recollection and their unique role in decision making beyond accuracy have received limited attention. We dissociated subjective recollection from accuracy during a forced-choice task. Distractors corresponded either to non-studied exemplars of the targets (A-A' condition) or to non-studied exemplars of different studied items (A-B' condition). The A-A' condition resulted in higher accuracy and greater activation in the superior parietal lobe, whereas the A-B' condition resulted in higher subjective recollection and greater activation in the precuneus and retrosplenial regions, indicating a dissociation between objective and subjective memory. Activation in insular, cingulate, and lateral prefrontal regions was also associated with subjective recollection; however, during a subsequent decision phase, activation in these same regions was greater for discarded than for selected responses in anticipation of a social reward, underscoring their role in evaluating memory evidence flexibly based on current goals.
Early diagnosis and treatment is paramount in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Nowadays, there is a need for quick and non-invasive imaging modalities, for which laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA), a technique that assesses the peripheral blood perfusion (PBP) on a microvascular level, seems to be a promising candidate. The goal of this pilot study was to examine whether the expected increased PBP in active synovitis in RA patients can be detected by LASCA.

Thirty RA patients with active synovitis in a finger joint and 44 healthy controls (HC) underwent LASCA examination. The PBP measured over the finger joints was expressed in perfusion units (PU). For the final analysis, all 30 RA patients were matched by age and gender to 30 HC. For the primary analysis the mean difference in PU between joints with active synovitis compared to matched HC, adjusted for type of joint (MCP/PIP), finger, surface and side of hand and for the matching variables (age and gender), was calculated using a multilevel linear model. For the secondary analysis this mean difference in PU was calculated on a monoarticular level.

The primary analysis showed an estimated mean difference of 8.79 PU (95%CI -7.79-25.37 PU; p=0.299). For the secondary analysis on a monoarticular level, none of the estimated mean differences differed significantly.

In this pilot study examining the use of LASCA in RA, no significant difference in estimated mean PBP between joints with active synovitis in RA and joints without active synovitis in HC could be detected.
