This study explores the influence of gear-changing behaviour on vehicular exhaust emissions and fuel consumption using real drive cycles as an input. As many as 235 different drive cycles, recorded from people participating in a survey, were imported in an emission simulation tool called Vehicle Transient Emissions Simulation Software (VeTESS). Emissions and fuel consumption were calculated with VeTESS using two different gear change assumptions (normal and aggressive). This paper reports on the differences ...

In psychophysiological research, complex tailor-made and interactive analyses of biosignals (e.g., skin conductance, heart rate, and respiration) are often required. Moreover, a synchronization between experimental stimuli and psychophysiolgical responses is necessary. In this article, we present Psychophysiological Analysis (PSPHA), a modular script-based program for analyzing biosignals in the time domain. The modules can be integrated in a VBScript, and a wizard allows easy adaption of parameters. ...

Worry is a common feature of chronic pain. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of worry experienced by adults with chronic pain, and to explore features of problem solving associated with worry and chronic pain. A further purpose was to investigate whether there were differences in worry and problem solving for those presenting at a pain clinic for treatment, compared to those who identified as chronic pain sufferers but who were not presenting for treatment. A final purpose was ...

Purpose of review Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently complicates hospital admission, especially in the ICU or after major surgery, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The risk of developing AKI depends on the presence of preexisting comorbidities and the cause of the current disease. Besides, many other parameters affect the kidney function, such as the state of other vital organs, the host response, and the initiated treatment. Advancements in the field of informatics have led ...

There is often a large discrepancy between the questions raised by policy makers and the responses offered by scientists. Current modeling approaches do not answer some of the typical questions that decision-makers face, as they do not provide solutions to policy-makers dealing with concrete political negotiation and decisions. In this paper, we try to bridge the gap by creating an integrated model chain that can respond to such concrete policy questions. The paper describes a model chain consisting ...

Trying to control pain is a common human goal. But little is know about what happens when one loses control over pain. This paper reports an experiment with 74 healthy volunteers, half of whom were given control over a pain stimulus and subsequently lost control, and half of whom never had control over the pain. This study investigates whether having had control and lost it would result in a more unpleasant pain experience, more fear about impending pain, a heightened vigilance to pain, and greater ...

Abstract Background In critically ill patients, measured creatinine clearance (CrCl) is the most reliable method to evaluate glomerular filtration rate in routine clinical practice and may vary subsequently on a day-to-day basis. We developed and externally validated models to predict CrCl one day ahead and compared them with a reference reflecting current clinical practice. Methods A gradient boosting method (GBM) machine-learning algorithm was used to develop the models on data from 2825 patients ...

Randomized, controlled trials have shown both benefit and harm from tight blood-glucose control in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Variation in the use of early parenteral nutrition and in insulin-induced severe hypoglycemia might explain this inconsistency. Download a PDF of the Research Summary. We randomly assigned patients, on ICU admission, to liberal glucose control (insulin initiated only when the blood-glucose level was >215 mg per deciliter [>11.9 mmol per liter]) or to tight glucose ...

We report the development of the Pain Solutions Questionnaire (PaSol), an instrument designed to measure assimilative (efforts at changing or solving pain) and accommodative (accepting that pain cannot be solved, and changing life goals) responses to the problems associated with pain. Data were collected from 476 adults suffering from chronic pain. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses resulted in a 14-item instrument with an adequate oblique 4-factor structure: (1) Solving Pain scale (4 items), ( ...

When faced with the problem of pain one can attempt a solution aimed at relief (assimilation) or a solution aimed at acceptance (accommodation). Using this dual process model of adaptation to pain, this study compares acute and chronic pain patients on their approach to problem solving. Three hundred and sixty-four patients were recruited from clinical settings, 303 with chronic pain and 61 with acute pain, and completed a range of measures of both affect and pain-related behavior, including the Pain ...

Abstract Background and Aims Many inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] patients in remission have persisting symptoms, compatible with irritable bowel syndrome [IBS-type symptoms]. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of gut-directed hypnotherapy vs standard medical treatment [SMT] for IBS-type symptoms in IBD patients.

Dear Editor, Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus may lead to hypoxemic respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS is frequently complicated by intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW) [1], which is associated with poor outcomes [2]. Critically ill patients affected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may differ from typical ARDS-patients in baseline factors [3] and ICU exposures associated with ICUAW [4]. Of particular concern may be the need for deep sedation to ...

The ARC predictor is a prediction model for augmented renal clearance (ARC) on the next intensive care unit (ICU) day that showed good performance in a general ICU setting. In this study, we performed a retrospective external validation of the ARC predictor in critically ill coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) patients admitted to the ICU of the University Hospitals Leuven from February 2020 to January 2021. All patient-days that had serum creatinine levels available and measured creatinine clearance ...

Background. Lung transplantations are highly complex procedures, often conducted in frail patients. Through the addition of immunosuppressants, healing can be compromised, primarily leading to the development of bronchopleural fistulas. Although esophageal fistulas (EFs) after lung transplantation remain rare, they are associated with significant morbidity. We aimed to investigate the clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies of EF after lung transplantation. Methods. ...

One of the measures that is promoted in order to improve the air quality is the decrease of vehicle mileage. However, there are different reasons to assume that not every kilometer driven by car yields the same impact on air pollution nor on the exposure of people. For instance, some trips are driven at high speeds on highways, while others are driven at relatively low speeds in urban environments. This will have an impact on the resulting emissions. Furthermore, emissions exhausted during the night ...

Purpose Decreased renal function is often considered as a contraindication for lung (LTX) or combined heart-lung (HLTX) transplantation due to poorer prognosis and risk of further decline due to nephrotoxic medication. Severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) may decrease renal function because of low cardiac output and renal congestion, which may be reversible with transplantation. We aimed to assess whether pre-transplant kidney function is a predictor for mortality or need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) ...
