Improving of Robotic Virtual Agent's errors that are accepted by reaction and human's preference [PDF]

International Conference on Social Robotics, Dec 2023, 2023
One way to improve the relationship between humans and anthropomorphic agents is to have humans empathize with the agents. In this study, we focused on a task between an agent and a human in which the agent makes a mistake. To investigate significant factors for designing a robotic agent that can promote humans empathy, we experimentally examined the ...

Achievement rate of blood pressure <140/90 mmHg and <130/80 mmHg in subjects with hypertension; findings from a Japanese health checkup in 2017

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2020
Blood pressure (BP) control status was investigated using data of a health checkup held in a Japanese city. In fiscal year 2017, 54,287 persons (age, 40–74 years; males, 49%) underwent the checkup; 28,167 examinees had a systolic BP ≥140 mmHg, a ...

Hessian filter-assisted full diameter at half maximum (FDHM) segmentation and quantification method for optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy has been validated as a high-resolution and high-sensitivity imaging modality for angiographic studies in the past decades. Quantitative vascular analysis reveals critical information of physiological changes, where vessel segmentation is the key step.

Uncontrolled and apparent treatment resistant hypertension: a cross-sectional study of Russian and Norwegian 40–69 year olds

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Uncontrolled hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor. We examined uncontrolled hypertension and differences in treatment regimens between a high-risk country, Russia, and low-risk Norway to gain better understanding of the ...

Antihypertensive medication use during pregnancy in a real-world cohort of patients diagnosed with a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are rising in prevalence and associated with adverse maternal and infant health outcomes. Current guidelines recommend labetalol, nifedipine, and methyldopa as acceptable first-line agents to treat HDP in ...

A review of olmesartan medoxomil monotherapy: antihypertensive efficacy similar to that of other angiotensin II receptor blocker/hydrochlorothiazide combinations?

Кардиоваскулярная терапия и профилактика, 2011
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) have been available in the United Statessince 1995. These agents have demonstrated antihypertensive efficacy at least similar to that of agents from other antihypertensive classes.

Treatments for pregestational chronic conditions during pregnancy: emulating a target trial with a treatment decision design [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
As a solution to methodologic challenges inherent to estimating causal effects of exposures in early pregnancy, we suggest emulating a target trial using a treatment decision design, wherein time zero is centered around clinical landmarks where treatment decisions may occur, such as the date of preconception counseling or prenatal care initiation ...

Comparative effectiveness of first-line antihypertensive drug classes on the maintenance of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in real world primary care

Scientific Reports, 2023
Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi), particularly angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), are commonly used in the treatment of hypertension and are recommended for kidney protection ...

Targeted-BEHRT: Deep learning for observational causal inference on longitudinal electronic health records [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Observational causal inference is useful for decision making in medicine when randomized clinical trials (RCT) are infeasible or non generalizable. However, traditional approaches fail to deliver unconfounded causal conclusions in practice. The rise of "doubly robust" non-parametric tools coupled with the growth of deep learning for capturing rich ...

Outlier detection and influence diagnostics in network meta-analysis [PDF]

Res Synth Methods 2020;11(6):891-902, 2019
Network meta-analysis has been gaining prominence as an evidence synthesis method that enables the comprehensive synthesis and simultaneous comparison of multiple treatments. In many network meta-analyses, some of the constituent studies may have markedly different characteristics from the others, and may be influential enough to change the overall ...
