PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE-BASED CARE MANAGEMENT FOR CHRONICALLY ILL PATIENTS (PRACMAN) IN GERMAN HEALTHCARE: OUTCOME OF A PROPENSITY-SCORE MATCHED COHORT STUDY

Background Growing prevalence of chronic diseases is a rising challenge for healthcare systems.The Primary Care Practice-Based Care Management (PraCMan) programme is a comprehensive disease management intervention in primary care in Germany aiming to improve medical care and to reduce potentially avoidable hospitalisations for chronically ill patie

The propagation of a millimeter wave (mmWave) signal is dominated Floor Mounts by its line-of-sight component.Therefore, the knowledge of angle-of-arrival and polarization state of the wave is of great importance for its reception at the receiver.In this paper, we estimate these parameters for an information-bearing signal in mmWave systems using h

Phase-change materials (PCMs) have Gravel become as promising elements in silicon photonic systems.We propose an optical buffer device based on vanadium dioxide (VO2) embedded on silicon-on-insulator waveguides with a microring resonator.The upload straight waveguide is for coupling light signal from the input port into VO2 embedded on microring re

Retinoids, including retinol, retinal, and retinoic acid, are a group of vitamin A derivatives with skin-improving effects.Retinoic acid is highly effective for skin anti-aging but can cause irritation, requiring a prescription.Retinol, a less irritating alternative, needs conversion to retinal and then retinoic acid in the skin, whereas direct abs

With low-level vehicle automation already available, there is a necessity to estimate its effects on traffic flow, especially if these could be negative.A long gradual transition will occur from manual driving to automated driving, in which many yet unknown traffic flow dynamics will be present.These effects have the Cooler potential to increasingl
