19, 20 Although with good discrimination and well calibrated to predict CVD events in populations from the USA, Australia, and New Zealand, it overestimates (over-predicts) the absolute risk in European cohorts and its direct implementation in the latter populations requires recalibration.
In this section, we compare the concepts of decentralization and localization and draw lessons from the former to inform implementation of the latter.
Recently, we introduced digital confocal microscopy (DCM), which is a scanning holographic technique that can be used both in reflection and in transmission, greatly simplifying the implementation in the latter case [ 8].
An integrated implementation of the latter requires the development of dedicated tools and techniques for real-time supervision of chemical processes.
Because implementation of the latter method at the bedside would be relatively simple, that report, in addition to its intrinsic scientific value, may have important clinical implications.
Although crude estimates indicate that both passive and active screening programs can be cautiously considered as cost-effective according to international thresholds, important questions remain regarding the implementation of the latter.
The former requires the implementation in the frequency domain, and the latter requires that in the time-frequency domain using neural networks.
We conducted three focus groups at site C - one with physicians, and two with staff, one before and a second six-months after implementation, the latter representing the transition phase.
We chose two 1-year time periods, 2007 (n = 199) and 2008 (n = 173), the former being before and the latter after the implementation of the anterolateral approach as the standard incision for hip arthroplasties in patients with femoral neck fractures.
