Abstract:
Deafness is the most common sensory deficit in humans. In the United States 1-2 in a thousand babies is born with significant deafness, well over half of which is hereditary. Providing a patient and their family with a genetic diagnosis is the ultimate form of precision health and medicine; it can provide education, impact medical testing and treatment, provide peace of mind, and someday will be the key to providing gene specific therapies. Historically, providing this diagnosis was difficult, expensive, and time consuming due to the extreme clinical and genetic heterogeneity of non-syndromic

<p> The healthcare industry is undergoing a shift due to changes in revenue cycles and therefore delivery models. This shift is causing horizontal integration among providers and a subsequent assumption of risk that behooves them to operate similar to a payer. Analytics, while used predominately by healthcare payers in the past, will now be applicable to providers of care. This opens the door to a niche consulting firm that can provide these services effectively and affordably.

This thesis analyzes precision medicine from an ethical and political perspective, especially in terms of distributive justice: it is aimed at investigating the kinds of benefits that can be produced after precision medicine, and the possible distributions of those benefits, by considering the consequent impact of precision medicine on social and health equity. Precision medicine is considered as a social construct subjected to different interpretations, and it is analyzed by mainly referring to two major case studies: the Precision Medicine Initiative in the US, and the 100,000 Genomes

In healthcare, vulnerable populations that are using medications with a narrow therapeutic index and wide interpatient PK/PD (pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling) variability are increasing. As such, variable dosage regimens may result in severe therapeutic failures or adverse drug reactions (ADR). Improved monitoring of patient response to medication and personalization of treatment is therefore warranted. Precision dosing aims to individualize drug regimens for each patient based on independent factors obtained from a patient’s clinical records. Personalization of dosing increases the

Dentre os diversos recursos para avaliação psicológica, os métodos projetivos destacam-se pela riqueza de suas informações a respeito dos componentes e do funcionamento psíquico, nomeadamente na área da investigação de características de personalidade. Para examinar a faixa etária infantil, o Teste de Fábulas (TF) é um dos métodos projetivos disponíveis, baseado na teoria psicanalítica e tem se mostrado relevante e útil, embora com necessidade de revisão de suas evidências psicométricas no contexto brasileiro. O teste consiste em 10 historietas inacabadas que são contadas para a criança, sendo

Les biomarqueurs sanguins peuvent être utilisés pour définir le pronostic des patients ou permettre de déterminer les altérations moléculaires des cancers, et peut-être pouvoir guider les traitements de thérapies ciblées.Les cellules tumorales circulantes sont le reflet de la cascade métastatique et de la progression tumorale. La détection et la caractérisation des CTC est un domaine clé de la recherche dans le cancer. Cependant, il n'existe pas de méthode standard pour la détection des CTC, et le premier objectif de notre étude a été de comparer deux systèmes de détection des CTC basé sur l'e

Abstract:
Agriculture faces many challenges related to the increasing food demands of a growing global population and the sustainable use of resources in a changing environment. To address them, we need reliable information sources, like exploiting hyperspectral satellite, airborne, and ground-based remote sensing data to observe phenological traits through a crops growth cycle and gather information to precisely diagnose when, why, and where a crop is suffering negative impacts. By combining hyperspectral capabilities with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), there is an increased capacity for provi

Background: Insufficient exposure assessment is a suggested contributing factor to the current lack of clearly characterised relationships between occupational biomechanical risk factors and musculoskeletal disorders. Minimal attention has been paid to the potential bias of measurement tools from expected true values (i.e. accuracy) or between measurement tools, and empirical data on the magnitudes of variance contributed by methodological factors for measurement tool precision are lacking.
