Differences in dialysis modality choice between immigrant and native populations in Barcelona, Spain

Nefrología (English Edition)
Few studies have analyzed the freedom to choose their renal replacement treatment (RRT) modality in Spain. In a total of 673 patients with ACKD (stage 4 and 5) seen at the outpatient ACKD clinic of Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain) from 2009

Anticoagulation Strategies in Venovenous Hemodialysis in Critically Ill Patients: A Five-Year Evaluation in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Renal failure is a common complication among critically ill patients. Timing, dosage, and mode of renal replacement (RRT) are under debate, but also anticoagulation strategies and vascular access interfere with dialysis success.

MultiRobot Motion Planning Based on Diffusion and Time–Space Path Planning

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
This diffusion‐based framework for multirobot motion planning reuses a pretrained single‐robot Motion Planning Diffusion model, employing an alternating trajectory generation scheme guided by inter‐robot collision costs, resulting in coordinated planning without additional multi‐robot training.

SFK: Shape‐ and Function‐Grounded Keypoint Representation for Sequential Manipulation

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sequential manipulation is the process by which robots perform multiple interdependent steps to accomplish composite tasks, demanding tight integration of perception, planning and execution. Existing methods incorporate explicit features such as category, semantics, 6D pose or affordance to enhance consistency, yet single‐feature ...

Increases in Heart Rate Variability Signal Improved Outcomes in Rapid Response Team Consultations: A Cohort Study

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2018
Background. Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) indicates dominance of the sympathetic system and a state of “physiologic stress.” We postulated that, in patients with critical illness, increases in HRV might signal successful resuscitation and improved

Brain‐Mimetic Mapless Navigation Framework Integrating Visual Streams and Entorhinal‐Hippocampal‐Prefrontal Circuits

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient autonomous navigation in complex and unstructured environments without pre‐existing maps remains a significant challenge for mobile robotics. Drawing inspiration from rodent neural architectures, this study proposes a brain‐mimetic mapless navigation framework for mobile robots.

Robo‐Saber: Generating and Simulating Virtual Reality Players

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present the first motion generation system for playtesting virtual reality (VR) games. Our player model generates VR headset and handheld controller movements from in‐game object arrangements, guided by style reference gameplay examples. We train on the large BOXRR‐23 dataset and apply our framework on the popular VR game Beat Saber.

What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Exploring Ward Registered Nurses' Emotional Responses When Caring for Clinically Deteriorating Patients: An Interview Study Informed by Affective Events Theory

Journal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To explore ward‐based registered nurses' emotions, emotion‐driven behaviours, and the perceived impact of these emotions on caring for clinically deteriorating patients. Background Clinical deterioration in ward patients is frequently missed or poorly managed despite widespread implementation of Early Warning Score systems. Behavioural and
