This paper presents an emerging understanding of the psychodynamics of suicide loss, derived from over 1500 accounts of suicide bereavement shared by families, friends and clinicians.It identifies clear patterns in the responses of the bereaved, particularly the formation of delusional narratives that often place them at the centre of blame Lencer�
Effectiveness of scar-induced astigmatism correction by rigid contact lenses
Purpose: to compare the effect of rigid gas permeable contact lenses (RCL) in the improvement of visual functions vs.spectacle correction in scar-induced astigmatism of the cornea and concomitant posttraumatic conditions.Material and methods.A total of 147 patients (147 eyes) aged from 3 to 67 yrs with scar-deformed cornea as a result of injuries a
A twin convolutional neural network with hybrid binary optimizer for multimodal breast cancer digital image classification
Abstract There is a wide application of deep learning technique to unimodal medical image analysis with significant classification accuracy performance observed.However, real-world diagnosis of some chronic diseases such as breast cancer often require multimodal data streams with different modalities of visual and textual content.Mammography, magne
Recent advances in nano-photonic techniques for pharmaceutical drug monitoring with emphasis on Raman spectroscopy
Innovations in Raman spectroscopic techniques provide a potential solution to current problems in pharmaceutical drug monitoring.This review aims to summarize the recent advances in the field.The developments of novel plasmonic nanoparticles continuously push the limits of Raman spectroscopic detection.In surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS),
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance findings in a pediatric population with isolated left ventricular non-compaction
Abstract Background Isolated Left Ventricular Non-compaction (LVNC) is an uncommon disorder characterized by the presence of increased trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses.In adults, it has been found that Ejection Fraction (EF) decreases significantly as non-compaction severity increases.In children however, there are a few data descri
