An ongoing need exists for innovation in service delivery to ensure that mental health services deliver high-quality treatment and prevention the population. This Special Article proposes adoption of “staged care” as a population health–oriented model packages specialized delivered largely ambulatory care settings individuals with common affective disorders. Staged integrates measures clinical ...

1 SUMMARY In this project, we add a limited subset of staged functions to the Spatial hardware accelerator design language. This support includes implementation of language support for staged functions, analyses for optimizing performance and area, and generating synthesizable implementations of these staged functions. We evaluate these additions by comparing the runtime and area of a set of be...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was a comparison of risk-adjusted outcomes of 3 approaches to carotid revascularization in the open heart surgery (OHS) population. BACKGROUND Without randomized clinical trials, the best approach to managing coexisting severe carotid and coronary disease remains uncertain. Staged carotid endarterectomy (CEA) followed by OHS or combined CEA and OHS are commonl...

PURPOSE Same-session ureteroscopy for bilateral urinary calculi would potentially reduce costs and the need for a second anesthetic compared with staged procedures. We sought to establish the safety and efficacy of same-session bilateral ureteroscopy relative to procedures for staged bilateral and multiple unilateral calculi in the context of contemporary instrumentation. PATIENTS AND METHODS...

A five-year-old female African hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris) was referred for a one month growing oral mass. The hedgehog was quiet, alert and responsive, with a 1.00 × 1.50 cm ulcerated lesion on the mandible. The patient was staged with total body radiographs, hematological and biochemical analyses and the mass was biopsied under anesthesia. The excised tissue was reported to be a ...

PURPOSE To compare the operating time, amount of blood transfused, length of hospital stay, and early complications (within 6 months) between 2-week staged bilateral arthroplasties and matched randomised controls undergoing unilateral arthroplasties. METHODS From October 1992 to October 2000, 90 patients who underwent bilateral hip or knee arthroplasties with a 2-week interval were compared w...

The equations and the component-specific parameters needed for these detailed models are contained in specialized programs such as Aspen. However, for preliminary work it may be sufficient, and more convenient, to employ more simplified methods. If pressures are low, we may approximate φi ≈ 1 and f 0 i ≈ P sat i (T), where P sat i (T) is the vapor pressure of pure component i. Further, if the c...

We propose a combination of partial evaluation and staged interpretation with MetaOCaml for rapid prototyping of domain-specific languages. Interpretation is an easy way to implement such languages. MetaOCaml can eliminate the overhead of interpretation at run time, if the interpreter is written in a staged form, i.e., takes the source program separate from the input data in a first stage. Part...
