Being Mortal: Illness, Medicine, and What Matters in the End, by Atul Gawande.
This book describes what patients go through when they become ill and the options available when they can no longer care for themselves. The traditional nursing home where residents live a regimented life is in stark contrast to assistedliving homes where residents live independently but have help available whenever needed. Given the option, patients interviewed in this book, do not want invasi...
متن کاملPediatric Nephrology: An Update
Pediatric nephrology is rapidly evolving. Over the last few decades we have witnessed a rapid change in nosology, etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of renal disease. We have seen advances in renal and urinary tract imaging as well as more precise use of novel urinary biomarkers to define the type and degree of renal injury, both acute and chronic. We now have better understanding of factors ...
متن کاملMortal Multi-Armed Bandits
We formulate and study a new variant of the k-armed bandit problem, motivated by e-commerce applications. In our model, arms have (stochastic) lifetime after which they expire. In this setting an algorithm needs to continuously explore new arms, in contrast to the standard k-armed bandit model in which arms are available indefinitely and exploration is reduced once an optimal arm is identified ...
متن کاملEvolving mortal networks.
We discuss a class of models for the evolution of tree networks in which new nodes are recruited into the network at random times, and nodes already in the network may die at random times. Stochastic mechanisms for growth and death of the network that are either sensitive or insensitive to the coordination number or degree of nodes are studied using simulations and mean-field approximations. Cr...
متن کاملBacteria and phagocytes: mortal enemies.
The research presented in this issue finds historical resonance in a classical scientific debate. Russian biologist Ilya Metchnikoff [1, 2] was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1908 for the development of the phagocyte theory, the central tenet of which was that the ‘swallowing and digestion’ of bacteria by circulating ‘white corpuscles’ (neutrophils and macrophages), enhanced by prior opsonization, ...
