Telemedicine is playing an increasingly more important role in disease diagnosis and treatment. The market of telemedicine application is continuously promoted, thus bringing some issues on telemedicine operations management. We aimed to compare the teleconsultation scheduling performance of newly designed proactive strategy and existing static strategy and explore the decision-making under different conditions. We developed a discrete-event simulation model based on practical investigation to describe the existing static scheduling strategy of teleconsultation. The static strategy model was verified by comparing it with the historical data. Then a new proactive strategy was proposed, whose average waiting time, variance of waiting time and completed numbers were compared with the static strategy. The analysis indicated that the proactive strategy performed better than static under the current resource allocation. Furthermore, we explored the impact on the system of both strategies varying arrival rate and experts' shift time. Under different shift times and arrival rates, the managers of telemedicine center should select different strategy. The experts' shift time had a significant impact on all system performance indicators. Therefore, if managers wanted to improve the system performance to a greater extent, they needed to reduce the shift time as much as possible.Under different shift times and arrival rates, the managers of telemedicine center should select different strategy.

Doctors with various specializations and experience order brain computed tomography (CT) to rule out intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) can discriminate subtypes of ICH with high accuracy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical usefulness of AI in ICH detection for doctors across a variety of specialties and backgrounds. A total of 5702 patients' brain CTs were used to develop a cascaded deep-learning-based automated segmentation algorithm (CDLA). A total of 38 doctors were recruited for testing and categorized into nine groups. Diagnostic time and accuracy were evaluated for doctors with and without assistance from the CDLA. The CDLA in the validation set for differential diagnoses among a negative finding and five subtypes of ICH revealed an AUC of 0.966 (95% CI, 0.955-0.977). Specific doctor groups, such as interns, internal medicine, pediatrics, and emergency junior residents, showed significant improvement with assistance from the CDLA (p= 0.029). However, the CDLA did not show a reduction in the mean diagnostic time. Even though the CDLA may not reduce diagnostic time for ICH detection, unlike our expectation, it can play a role in improving diagnostic accuracy in specific doctor groups.Even though the CDLA may not reduce diagnostic time for ICH detection, unlike our expectation, it can play a role in improving diagnostic accuracy in specific doctor groups. Patients with brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) usually experience phantom sensations and phantom limb pain (PLP) in the deafferented limb. It has been suggested that evoking the sensation of touch in the deafferented limb by stimulating referred sensation areas (RSAs) on the cheek or shoulder might alleviate PLP. However, feasible rehabilitation techniques using this approach have not been reported. The present study sought to examine the analgesic effects of simple electrical stimulation of RSAs in BPA patients with PLP. Study 1 Electrical stimulation of RSAs for 60 minutes was conducted for six BPA patients suffering from PLP to examine short-term analgesic effects. Study 2 A single case design experiment was conducted with two BPA patients to investigate whether electrical stimulation of RSAs was more effective for alleviating PLP than control electrical stimulation (electrical stimulation of sites on side opposite to the RSAs), and to elucidate the long-term effects of electrical stimulation of RSAs.re studies will be required to clarify the mechanisms underlying immediate PLP alleviation via electrical stimulation of RSAs. Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most frequent movement disorder. Patients access YouTube, one of the largest video databases in the world, to retrieve health-related information increasingly often. We aimed to identify high-quality publishers, so-called "channels" that can be recommended to patients. We hypothesized that the number of views and the number of uploaded videos were indicators for the quality of the information given by a video on PD. YouTube was searched for 8 combinations of search terms that included "Parkinson" in German. For each term, the first 100 search results were analyzed for source, date of upload, number of views, numbers of likes and dislikes, and comments. The view ratio (views / day) and the likes ratio (likes * 100 / [likes + dislikes]) were determined to calculate the video popularity index (VPI). The global quality score (GQS) and title - content consistency index (TCCI) were assessed in a subset of videos. Of 800 search results, 251 videos met the inclusion criteria. The number of views or the publisher category were not indicative of higher quality video content. The number of videos uploaded by a channel was the best indicator for the quality of video content. The quality of YouTube videos relevant for PD patients is increased in channels with a high number of videos on the topic. We identified three German channels that can be recommended to PD patients who prefer video over written content.The quality of YouTube videos relevant for PD patients is increased in channels with a high number of videos on the topic.
