BACKGROUND People with chronic diseases experience barriers to managing their diseases and accessing available health services. Patient navigator programs are increasingly being used to help people with chronic diseases navigate and access health services. OBJECTIVE The objective of this review was to summarize the evidence for patient navigator programs in people with a broad range of chroni...

In this paper, an integrated process monitoring and diagnostic Engineering knowledge is represented based on the hierarchical " " system the process navigator, is developed for automotive body concept proposed for the auto body representation (Ceglarek et. al., 1994). In this paper, the hierarchical group concept is assembly processes. The objective of the process navigator is to extended by de...

Research on patient navigation has focused on validating the utility of navigators by defining their roles and analyzing their effects on patient outcomes, patient satisfaction, and cost effectiveness. Patient navigators are increasingly used outside the research context, and their roles without research responsibilities may look very different. This pilot study captured the activities of a com...

PURPOSE To quantitatively assess the performance and reproducibility of 3D spiral coronary artery wall imaging with beat-to-beat respiratory-motion-correction (B2B-RMC) compared to navigator gated 2D spiral and turbo-spin-echo (TSE) acquisitions. MATERIALS AND METHODS High-resolution (0.7 × 0.7 mm) cross-sectional right coronary wall acquisitions were performed in 10 subjects using four techn...

Data acquisition for phase contrast velocity mapping of myocardial motion is typically based on multiple breath-held 2D measurements with limited acquisition duration and consequently relatively poor temporal resolution. In order to overcome the limitations of breath-hold acquisitions, an improved navigator-guided technique was implemented based on 2 navigator signals within each cardiac cycle ...

Hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and glucose variability are common during intensive care unit (ICU) stay and are associated with increased mortality (1–3). Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a promising tool to assist glucose control, but the accuracy and reliability of these devices in critically ill patients is uncertain (4,5). Therefore, we studied two different CGM devices postoperatively ...

Many drugs are characterized by polypharmacological mechanisms of action. Thus, prospective drug discovery studies often start by testing large compound libraries in multiple and diverse High-Throughput Screening (HTS) assays. These large heterogeneous data collections pose numerous computational challenges concerning processing, curation, and analysis of untreated output files generated by pla...

Introduction The navigator gating technique reduced respiratory motion artifacts and is suited to abdominal MRI with patients who have difficulty in breath-holding. The motion adapted gating (MAG) approach [1] employs varying gating threshold depending on phase encoding steps, which accelerates gating to reduce scan time. However, even the MAG approach results in considerably longer scan time c...

We develop and demonstrate an autonomous control synthesis system called Phase Space Navigator for nonlinear control systems, with which a global, non-linear controller for a dynamical system can be automatically synthesized. The Phase Space Navigator intelligently plans and navigates system trajectories in phase space. It nds optimal global paths from an initial state to the goal state in the ...

Programmers tend to spend a lot of time debugging code. They check the erroneous phenomena, navigate the code, search the past bug fixes, and modify the code. If a sequence of these debug activities can be automated, programmers can use their time for more creative tasks. To address this problem, this paper proposes dcNavi (Debug Concern Navigator), a concern-oriented recommendation system for ...
