s and improves the predictive capability.

Predictive analysis with a CNN is promising, whereas attribute-based models presented little predictive capability and were not suitable for analyzing text of data. This research found that the commonly mentioned drugs had a level of correspondence with frequently used illicit substances, proving the practical usefulness of this system. Lastly, the synthetically generated set provided increased accuracy scores and improves the predictive capability.

Within the last decade, robotically-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has become the standard for treating localized prostate cancer, causing a revival of the 45° Trendelenburg position. In this pilot study we investigated effects of Trendelenburg position on hemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation in patients undergoing RALP.

We enrolled 58 patients undergoing RALP and 22 patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) (control group) in our study. Demographic patient data and intraoperative parameters including cerebral oxygenation and cerebral hemodynamics were recorded for all patients. Cerebral function was also assessed pre- and postoperatively via the Mini Mental Status (MMS) exam. Changes in parameters during surgery were modelled by a mixed effects model; changes in the MMS result were evaluated using the Wilcoxon signed rank test.

Preoperative assessment of patient characteristics, standard blood values and vital parameters revealed no difference between the two groups.

Applying a 45° Trendelenburg position causes no difference in postoperative brain function, and does not alter cerebral oxygenation during a surgical procedure lasting up to 5h. Further studies in larger patient cohorts will have to confirm these findings.

The availability of massive amount of data enables the possibility of clinical predictive tasks. Deep learning methods have achieved promising performance on the tasks. However, most existing methods suffer from three limitations (1) There are lots of missing value for real value events, many methods impute the missing value and then train their models based on the imputed values, which may introduce imputation bias. UNC1999 The models' performance is highly dependent on the imputation accuracy. (2) Lots of existing studies just take Boolean value medical events (e.g. diagnosis code) as inputs, but ignore real value medical events (e.g., lab tests and vital signs), which are more important for acute disease (e.g., sepsis) and mortality prediction. (3) Existing interpretable models can illustrate which medical events are conducive to the output results, but are not able to give contributions of patterns among medical events.

In this study, we propose a novel interpretable Pattern Attention model with Value Embeddiich can improve the risk prediction performance. Moreover, the presented self-attention mechanism can not only capture patients' health state information, but also output the contributions of various medical event patterns, which pave the way for interpretable clinical risk predictions.

During the perinatal period women lack screening and treatments for perinatal depressive symptoms, while public health professionals (PHPs) in primary care centres (PCCs) need training for identification and management of such symptoms. This quasi-experimental study was aimed at evaluating knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy among PHPs after participating in a Knowledge, Attitude, and Self-efficacy (KAS) program for identification and management of perinatal depressive symptoms.

The KAS-program, carried through in Sakonnakhon in north-eastern Thailand, comprised one day of theory and a four-week period of field practice. Thirty-three PHPs from PCCs participated in the program. Twenty-three of them participated in focus group discussions (FGDs). Chi-square for trend, paired-sample T-tests and content analysis were used.

Knowledge, attitude and self-efficacy scores increased after the PHPs had fully participated in the KAS-program. Four categories emerged from the FGDs increased understanding and knowledge, being aware and having a positive attitude, having confidence and ability to work, and need of regular training and feedback.

The KAS-program may contribute to giving PHPs in PCCs the knowledge, positive attitude and self-efficacy they need to identify and manage perinatal depressive symptoms. Implementation of the KAS-program to other healthcare professionals such as nurses/midwives is great of interest.

In this prospective study the Peyton 4-step approach of demonstration-deconstruction-comprehension (verbalization by the learner), and performance by the learner was compared to the PDCA cycle/Deming-Circle (Plan-Do-Check (video assisted self-monitoring)-Act) as a teaching method for surgical suturing and nodes with end performance as the primary objective.

Students of the third clinical semester in dental medicine were randomly selected to one of the two teaching methods. They completed a first course during the third clinical semester and a subsequent course during the fourth clinical semester. The focus was on learning surgical suturing techniques. Before the course started a questionnaire was handed out to both groups to evaluate their initial level of performance. Each course ended with a practical test to review the content of the course. The evaluation followed standardized parameters. Some of the test tasks in test one were repeated in test two to measure a horizontal as well as vertical difference in performance level.
