Clinical decision support (CDS) within the electronic health record represents a promising mechanism to provide important genomic findings within clinical workflows. To better understand the current and possible future costs of genomic CDS, we leveraged our local CDS experience to assemble a simple model with inputs such as initial cost and numbers of patients, rules, and institutions. Our mode...

We propose an algorithm to determine stable connected dominating sets (CDS) for mobile ad hoc networks using the notion of strong neighborhood (SN). The SN-CDS algorithm takes an input parameter called the Threshold Neighborhood Distance Ratio (TNDR); for an edge to be part of a strong neighborhood-based topology, the ratio of the physical Euclidean distance between the end nodes of the edge to...

Two experiments evaluated the effects of condensed distillers solubles (CDS) on performance and carcass characteristics of finishing beef cattle. In Exp. 1, 250 crossbred steers (initial BW = 355 ± 18 kg) were fed 0, 9, 18, 27, or 36% CDS (DM basis) which replaced a portion of urea and a 1:1 ratio of dry-rolled corn (DRC) and high-moisture corn (HMC). Steers were divided into 3 BW blocks and we...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to investigate the accuracy of Ultrasound (US), conventional X-Ray (CX) and Computed Tomography (CT) to estimate the total count, localization, morphology and consistency of Calcium deposits (CDs) in the rotator cuff. METHODS US, CX and CT imaging was performed pre-operatively in 151 patients who underwent arthroscopic removal of CDs in the rota...

We propose two novel cooperative detection schemes based on the AF (Amplify and Forward) and DF (Decode and Forward) protocols to achieve spatial diversity gains for cognitive radio networks, which are referred to as the AF-CDS, (AF-based Cooperative Detection Scheme) and DF-CDS (DF-based Cooperative Detection Scheme), respectively. Closed-form expressions of detection probabilities for the non...

Due to their excellent properties, polymides (PIs) result promising as high-performance materials in different technological fields. In this research, both micron-sized tubular mesoporous silica (mSiO2) and double-tube diatomite particles with cadmium sulfide quantum dots are prepared by chemical deposition method. A cluster of type fluorescent is self-assembling carbon (CDs) on the inner surfa...

Introduction/Background A large academic hospital organization with seven affiliates decided to transition from multiple home grown and commercial systems to one commercial electronic health record (EHR). The task to develop a standardized request form that would capture necessary elements of clinical decision support (CDS) was essential to inventory current state CDS, to migrate current state ...

We report an environmentally friendly synthetic strategy to fabricate reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based ternary nanocomposites, in which glutathione (GSH) acts both as a reducing agent for graphene oxide and sulfur donor for CdS synthesis under modified hydrothermal (MHT) conditions. The report becomes interesting as pH variation evolves two distinctly different semiconducting nanocrystals of ...

In patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD), worsening motor symptoms, mainly owing to motor response complications and dyskinesia, may be treated optimally by switching to a continuous dopaminergic stimulation (CDS) treatment approach. There are three CDS options widely available for the treatment of PD: levodopa/carbidopa intraduodenal gel infusion (Duodopa®), subcutaneous apomorphine ...
