Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Music interventions have been shown to have beneficial effects on hemodynamic parameters, pain, and anxiety in various medical settings. However, music interventions in the setting of acute stroke have not been studied. The objective of this trial was to perform a pilot feasibility study of music interventions in the setting of acute

Optimal Dispatch in Emergency Service System via Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In the United States, medical responses by fire departments over the last four decades increased by 367%. This had made it critical to decision makers in emergency response departments that existing resources are efficiently used. In this paper, we model the ambulance dispatch problem as an average-cost Markov decision process and present a policy ...

Designing Decision Support Systems for Emergency Response: Challenges and Opportunities [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Designing effective emergency response management (ERM) systems to respond to incidents such as road accidents is a major problem faced by communities. In addition to responding to frequent incidents each day (about 240 million emergency medical services calls and over 5 million road accidents in the US each year), these systems also support response ...

Forecasting emergency medical service call arrival rates [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2011, Vol. 5, No. 2B, 1379-1406, 2011 We introduce a new method for forecasting emergency call arrival rates that combines integer-valued time series models with a dynamic latent factor structure. Covariate information is captured via simple constraints on the factor loadings. We directly model the count-valued arrivals per hour, rather than using an artificial assumption of normality ...

SCS: Superior‐Vena‐Cava Compressing Shape‐Memory‐Alloy‐Based Implantable Device for Heart Failure
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.An implantable superior–vena‐cava compression device, utilizing biocompatible shape‐memory‐alloy actuators, regulates blood flow and thereby achieves an 18.6% reduction in end‐diastolic left ventricular volume in a porcine model of ADHF. This potential long‐term solution minimizes thrombosis risk by avoiding direct blood contact, offering a significant

Bioresorbable and Wireless Rechargeable Implanted Na‐ion Battery for Temporary Medical Devices
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An all‐solid‐state bioresorbable Na‐ion battery is developed, composed entirely of bio‐eliminable materials. In vivo and ex vivo tests confirmed harmless disintegration of this implanted battery. Lifetime of the implanted battery can be precisely controlled by adjusting the dissolvable encapsulation layer's thickness.
