Outcome prediction of neurological recovery in an unconscious survivor of cardiorespiratory arrest is difficult and uncertain. We describe the case of a 25-yr-old post-arrest survivor who made a remarkable neurological improvement despite a seemingly hopeless prognosis. Conventional clinical and neurophysiological assessments need to be interpreted with care in the presence of uncontrolled seiz...

The optimal survivor search problem is to maximize the probability of finding a moving target alive. The target may be a person missing at sea or lost in a wilderness area. In a multistate target problem, the target is moving and changing states stochastically. Each state may imply different motion and detectability assumptions. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for optimal detection ...

In a Viterbi decoder, there are two known memory organization techniques for the storage of survivor sequences from which the decoded information sequence is retrieved, namely register exchange method and traceback method. This paper extends previously known traceback approaches describes two new traceback algorithms, and compares various traceback methods with each other. Memory size, latency ...

This paper is concerned with identification of a competing risks model with unknown transformations of latent failure times. The model in this paper includes, as special cases, competing risks versions of proportional hazards, mixed proportional hazards, and accelerated failure time models. It is shown that covariate effects on latent failure times, cause-specific link functions, and the joint ...

The aim of this study was to explore cancer survivors' return to work (RTW) experience with a specific focus on the adjustment and coping process underlying their journey. The study was conducted in the Southern Cape, South Africa, with eight cancer survivors having returned to work following successful treatment of various types of cancer. Unstructured interviews were conducted and data were a...

One hundred and twenty two women breast cancer survivors were recruited by convenience sampling. RESULTS The most frequent behavior for preventing re...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to review the literature on the content of interventions focusing on return to work, employment status, or work retention in patients with cancer. Furthermore, the effect of the interventions on return to work was assessed in studies reporting return to work. METHODS A literature search was conducted using the databases MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE and CI...

In stage V twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), up to 50% of surviving twins die or experience permanent disabilities, likely due to acute intertwin hemorrhage resulting in sudden severe anemia of the survivor. Although fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler studies demonstrate strong correlation with fetal hemoglobin values, acute hemorrhagic events are more difficult to diagnose, and op...
