THE CHRONOMETRY OF RISK PROCESSING IN THE HUMAN CORTEX.

The chronometry of risk processing in the human cortex.

The neuroscience of human decision-making has focused on localising brain activity correlating with decision variables and choice, most commonly using functional MRI.Poor temporal resolution means these studies are agnostic in relation to how decisions unfold in time.Consequently, here we address the temporal evolution of neural activity related to

Image denoising by a direct variational minimization

Abstract In this article we introduce a novel method for the image de-noising which combines a mathematically well-posdenes of the variational modeling with the efficiency of a patch-based approach in the field of image processing.It based on a direct minimization of an energy functional containing a minimal surface regularizer that uses fractional

A Practical Approach to Introducing Pre-Hospital Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA), the Problems Encountered and Lessons Learned

Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is an endovascular procedure which utilises a catheter- based balloon device to achieve aortic occlusion.The aim of this resuscitative measure is to improve blood pressure proximal to the occlusion site and therefore preserve cardiac and cerebral perfusion to prevent cardiac arrest.I

A qualitative study of developing beliefs about health, illness and healthcare in migrant African women with gestational diabetes living in Sweden

Abstract Background Gestational diabetes (GDM) is associated with health risks for both mother and child, and is particularly relevant to migrant women and women of African origin.With today’s extensive global migration, contact with the new society and health system confronts the migrant’s culture of origin with the culture of the host country
