PERSONALISING SCREENING OF SIGHT-THREATENING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY - QUALITATIVE EVIDENCE TO INFORM EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION

Personalising screening of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy - qualitative evidence to inform effective implementation

Abstract Background Internationally, systematic screening for sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) usually includes annual recall.Researchers and policy-makers support extending screening intervals, citing evidence from observational studies with low incidence rates.However, there is little research around the acceptability to people with

Pedestrian Simulation on Evacuation Behavior in Teaching Building of Primary School Emergencies and Optimized Design

The spatial layout and arrangement of obstacles in the built smart tv panasonic 32 tc-32fs500b environment significantly affect its evacuation performance.However, few researchers focus on pedestrian simulation-based design optimization of built environment under emergency evacuation conditions.In this paper, we aim to evaluate the evacuation perfo

The Cyclic Oxidation and Hardness Characteristics of Thermally Exposed Titanium Prepared by Inductive Sintering-Assisted Powder Metallurgy

The oxidation and hardness of thermally exposed titanium (Ti) prepared using inductive sintering-assisted powder metallurgy was evaluated through cyclic tests in air at 700−900 °C for 100 h (5 cycles).In general, the oxidation kinetics of the Ti samples followed the parabolic law and their oxidation rates increased with increasing oxidat
