BACKGROUND Corticosteroids are often used to treat fatigue and anorexia, but occasionally produce delirium. Information on the predictors of delirium in corticosteroid-treated cancer patients remains limited. OBJECTIVE To identify potential factors predicting the development of delirium in corticosteroid-treated cancer patients. DESIGN An exploratory, multicenter, prospective, observational...

Male infertility was the reason for consultation in 13 cases. The men were provided with a 2.5cc syringe for self-measurement of semen volume during ejaculation. Results: In 9 cases, sperm was found in uri...

The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of behavioral evaluation measures for predicting drivers’ subjective drowsiness. Behavioral measures included neck vending angle (horizontal and vertical), back pressure, foot pressure, COP (Center of Pressure) movement on sitting surface, and tracking error in driving simulator task. Drowsy states were predicted by means of the multinomial...

The duration of each episode of any one electrophysiological sleep stage or any episode of intervening wakefulness was determined in three kinds of disturbed sleep, namely, in naturally impaired sleep of late middle-aged, normal people, in sleep after caffeine administration, and in sleep after hypnotic drug withdrawal. When compared with the sleep of young people, the sleep of late middle-aged...

Aims: Scientific literature suggests a large number of symptoms that may be present the day after excessive alcohol consumption. The purpose of this study was to explore the presence and severity of hangover symptoms, and determine their interrelationship. Methods: A survey was conducted among n = 1410 Dutch students examining their drinking behavior and latest alcohol hangover. The severity of...

Computers are used more and more in our daily lives, and it is normal that we focus on our monitors for a long time, such as when taking online courses. People may find it difficult to fully concentrate in front of computers because of distractions and drowsiness. Therefore, it is useful to create an application that alerts users to concentrate on their work. Some of the existing applications d...

The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of behavioral evaluation measures for predicting drivers’ subjective drowsiness. Behavioral measures included neck bending angle, back pressure, foot pressure, COP (center of pressure) movement on sitting surface and tracking error in driving simulator task. Drowsy states were predicted by means of the multinomial logistic regression model ...

Jaihie Kim Yonsei University School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering 134 Sinchon-dong, Seodaemun-gu Seoul, Seoul 120-749, Republic of Korea E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Most driver-monitoring systems have attempted to detect either driver drowsiness or distraction, although both factors should be considered for accident prevention. Therefore, we propose a new drivermonitoring me...

The main idea behind this project is to develop a system which can detect drowsiness of the driver and giving an indication in the form of alarm. Since a large number of road accidents occur due to the driver drowsiness, here we are proposing a new transportation system which will reduce the accidents. This system will monitor the driver’s eyes using camera and face detection which is very impo...
