Assessment of Coagulation and Hemostasis Biomarkers in a Subset of Patients With Chronic Cardiovascular Disease

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2021
Measurement of a single marker of coagulation may not provide a complete picture of hemostasis activation and fibrinolysis in patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases. We assessed retrospective orders of a panel which included prothrombin fragment 1.

Inpatient Specialist Palliative Care in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD): A Retrospective Case Series

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundRepeat hospitalizations, complications, and psychosocial burdens are common in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). Specialist palliative care (sPC) involvement supports patients during decision-making until end-of-life. In the

Role of Echocardiography in the Management of Patients with Advanced (Stage D) Heart Failure Related to Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Echocardiography (ECHO) is indispensable for evaluation of patients with terminal chronic heart failure (HF) who require transplantation or mechanical circulatory support by a left- or biventricular assist device (LVAD or BiVAD, respectively).

Device-Centric Monitoring for Mobile Device Management [PDF]

EPTCS 205, 2016, pp. 31-44, 2016
The ubiquity of computing devices has led to an increased need to ensure not only that the applications deployed on them are correct with respect to their specifications, but also that the devices are used in an appropriate manner, especially in situations where the device is provided by a party other than the actual user. Much work which has been done

FedZKT: Zero-Shot Knowledge Transfer towards Resource-Constrained Federated Learning with Heterogeneous On-Device Models [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Federated learning enables multiple distributed devices to collaboratively learn a shared prediction model without centralizing their on-device data. Most of the current algorithms require comparable individual efforts for local training with the same structure and size of on-device models, which, however, impedes participation from resource ...
