Amidst this context, complementary medicine (CM) - a broad, varied field of health care practices and products customarily excluded from conventional medical practice and dominant health care systems3– is often the focus of relatively hidden patient health seeking yet is making its presence felt i...
We extracted data on the effectiveness of interventions and on the relationship of effectiveness to seven pre-defined intervention components. These were: Theoretical basis (i.e. we extracted analyses relating effectiveness to the use of any stated theory of behaviour or behaviour change); Behaviour ...
requirements and (2) commit to technological development and validation of possibly transparent systems. In this way, the guideline may increase the likelihood for algorithms that advance to the technological development stage to afford transparency, because they are well grounded and justified in user ...
Volumetric medical imaging, such as CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), helps retain the 3D nature of the body’s internal structures by stacking multiple cross-sectional images. This imaging technique often results in a massive amount of information for th...

While the cost of commonly used antibiotics for prostate biopsy prophylaxis as well as rectal swabs is relatively low, considering the number of prostate biopsies performed annually, it becomes a significant burden for healthcare systems [120], [121]. Additionally, the omission of unnecessary ...
Nanoneedle is a kind of needle with nanoscale diameter, which can penetrate the cytomembrane to probe and manipulate biological processes in living cells [9]. Nanoneedle technology is expected to play an important role in studying biological systems [10]. In 1995, nanoneedles were first described ...
The authors suggest that administrative and procedural features of patent systems may be a greater influence on the grant of secondary patents than patent laws themselves [110]. Tackling this issue would mean addressing the kind of technical assistance provided to patent offices in lower- and middle...
The key conclusion drawn based on the PRISMS work was that integration of supported self-management for asthma into routine practice requires a whole-systems implementation strategy in which motivated, skilled professionals support motivated, informed patients within an organisation that values, promotes ...
future priorities is the essence of the ‘steering’ function of stewards and has been described as inherent to the successful governance of health systems [20]. The second dimension we explore applies health systems thinking. We refer to it as a recent study describes astargets of quality of ...
