IntroductionThe use of digital solutions including patient-reported outcomes is limited to follow-up of patients with established diagnoses but is rarely used as first step of the diagnostic process substituting a personal contact with a health professional. We report on the diagnostic validity and cost per patient implications based on a feasibility study of a new virtual diagnostic service (VDS) for common neurological sleep disorders that, as a first step, involves the collection and automated analysis of self-reported digital patient data.MethodsThe VDS was established at the Odense University Hospital, Denmark.

Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is commonly treated in specialized care settings with long-acting opioid agonists, also known as opioid agonist therapy, or OAT. Despite the rise in opioid use globally and evidence for a 50% reduction in mortality when OAT is employed, the proportion of people with OUD receiving OAT remains small. One initiative to improve the access and uptake of OAT could be to offer OAT in a primary care setting; primary care clinics are more numerous, might reduce the visibility and potential stigma of receiving treatment for OUD, and may facilitate the care of other medical conditions that are unrelated to OUD.

Wafer thickness is a critical parameter in semiconductor manufacturing, influencing production costs, and chip performance. Traditional measurement methods using clamping devices often introduce errors due to uneven positioning or unstable clamping. This study enhances the dual-probe chromatic confocal system by incorporating a diffractive optical element that splits white light into three beams, with spectrometer wave peak counts detecting wafer tilt.

Introduction: Difficulty with walking can lead to reduced quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease (pwPD); improving walking is considered a treatment priority. Drug therapies can control PD symptoms; however, pwPD often still experience mobility problems.Functional electrical stimulation (FES) induces movement in weak muscles via external electrical stimulation.

Assessment of sympathetic transduction into its effects on the cardiovascular system is of great interest in human research. Analysis of sympathetic transduction has been divided into neurovascular and neurohemodynamic, highlighting the sympathetic effect on either regional vascular or systemic pressure responses. This study investigates whether indices of neurovascular transduction are reflected in parallel neurohemodynamic transduction during normoxia and hypoxia, with and without accounting for the confounds of prevailing tachypnea and tachycardia.
