Article Abstract

Large constellations of low-orbit satellites have already been launched with the aim of offering complete worldwide coverage of broadband Internet; however, compact, simple, and low-cost mobile terminals are necessary to establish the communication. This paper describes the design of a reconfigurable and compact filtenna with the ability to switch between the satellites' uplink and downlink frequencies, 20 GHz and 29 GHz, maintaining an excellent performance. Due to its simplicity, efficiency, and Rx/Tx isolation, this antenna is a relevant candidate to be part of mobile terminals and devices, or even sensors, that communicate with satellites.

Background: This study explored reasons why respondents neither initiate nor complete an interactive voice response (IVR) survey and whether call-backs by a human can increase subsequent IVR survey participation.

Methods: We conducted a mixed methods study. Using random digit dialing (RDD), participants were sent an IVR survey (IVR-RDD) to their mobile phone.

Intensive care medicine symbolizes a form of medicine that seeks to prevent or overcome illness and life-threatening situations in order to enable a life that is acceptable to the patient. Despite the curative goal, dying and death are unavoidable. For ethically founded intensive care medicine, treatment goals must be agreed upon.

Purpose: Identifying and monitoring the onset and progression of myopia (myopia onset and progression [MOP]) based on the changes in anatomical structures in fundus retinal images has significant clinical application prospects. For this purpose, we tested the performance of deep neural networks.

Methods: We established a deep neural network, called Myopic-Net, to detect anatomical changes owing to the MOP from a pair of retinal images collected during different fundoscopies.

The primary goal of intensive care medicine is to overcome a critical phase of illness using all available means and to enable patients to survive and return to an independent life without intensive care. However, this therapeutic goal cannot always be achieved. The possibility of death, the need to alleviate suffering, and respect for the end of life make it necessary to integrate palliative approaches into intensive care medicine.
