Study protocol for the Rainbow Austrian Longitudinal Family (RALF) study: a longitudinal, multi-method, multi-rater investigation of risk and resilience factors in Austrian LGBTQ+ parent families.

BMC psychology
BACKGROUND: Research on LGBTQ+ parent families is evolving to include a growing range of family systems, identities, methodologies, and topics. However, studies that examine minority-specific risk and resilience factors and their associations with wi...

Ambiguous animals, ambivalent carers and arbitrary care collectives: Re-theorizing resistance to social robots in healthcare.

Social science & medicine (1982)
Many countries are under pressure because of lack of healthcare staff to provide care to an increasingly aged population. Potential solutions are often sought through technological innovation, including social robots to cater to the patients' emotion...

Machine learning prediction of unexpected readmission or death after discharge from intensive care: A retrospective cohort study.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
BACKGROUND: Intensive care units (ICUs) harbor the sickest patients with the utmost needs of medical care. Discharge from ICU needs to consider the reason for admission and stability after ICU care. Organ dysfunction or instability after ICU discharg...

Methods of suicide have received considerable attention in suicide research. The common approach to differentiate methods of suicide is the classification into "violent" versus "non-violent" method. Interestingly, since the proposition of this dichot...

Development and validation of the automated imaging differentiation in parkinsonism (AID-P): a multicentre machine learning study.

The Lancet. Digital health
BACKGROUND: Development of valid, non-invasive biomarkers for parkinsonian syndromes is crucially needed. We aimed to assess whether non-invasive diffusion-weighted MRI can distinguish between parkinsonian syndromes using an automated imaging approac...

Development and Validation of the Automated Imaging Differentiation in Parkinsonism (AID-P): A Multi-Site Machine Learning Study.

The Lancet. Digital health
BACKGROUND: There is a critical need to develop valid, non-invasive biomarkers for Parkinsonian syndromes. The current 17-site, international study assesses whether non-invasive diffusion MRI (dMRI) can distinguish between Parkinsonian syndromes.
