Towards the development of an integrated model for examining the determinants affecting the use of Queue Management Solutions in Healthcare by ALQUDAH, ADI AHMAD ALI

“…The results revealed that the new tool is beneficial, and the median times to finish the processes within the patient’s journey have significantly decreased. To evaluate the use of the enhanced QMS, this research develops an integrated model based on the integration of various constructs extracted from different theoretical models, including the UTAUT, TAM, and social cognitive theory (SCT) along with trust and innovativeness as external factors. …”

Aorta deformation linked to heart disease by Nature Research (16552612)

“…They used echocardiography, blood pressure measurements, and pulsed wave Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) to calculate pulse pressure and heart muscle deformation, along with the strain, stiffness and distension of the aorta during the cardiac cycle. They found that the mechanics of the aorta were altered, with the pulsatile change in aortic diameter, distention and elasticity of the aortic walls being significantly decreased, and aortic stiffness significantly increased, in HCM patients compared to the controls. …”

Direct Oral Anticoagulants Compared to Warfarin in Patients with Intermediate‐ to High‐Risk Pulmonary Embolism: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis by Mohamed Nabil Elshafei (9960500)

“…Direct oral anticoagulants were associated with comparable recurrence and mortality rates versus warfarin (odds ratio [OR] 0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.15–3.43) and (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.16–2.01), respectively. There was no significant difference in the safety outcomes (major and minor bleeding events), with a trend towards a decreased risk among direct oral anticoagulant treated cohorts (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.08–1.1) and (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.24–1.7), respectively.…”
