Breathlessness Services and Specialist Palliative Care for Advanced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive condition associated with high distress, functional decline, and reduced quality of life. As the disease advances, palliative care becomes increasingly pertinent to address not only physical symptoms, such as breathlessness, but also the emotional and social challenges experienced by individuals with COPD and their caregivers. Emerging evidence supports the benefits of earlier palliati…
The potential of Cycling Without Age on social isolation and loneliness among older adults
Loneliness and social isolation represent persisent global public health concerns, particurarly for people in later life, with extensive mental, social, and biological consequences. Both have been associated with increased risk of depression, anxiety, dementia, cardiovascular disease, premature mortality, and greater demand for health and social care services. A growing body of evidence indicates that nature-based interventions are effective in r…
Perspectives on Palliative Care Approaches in People with Advanced COPD
Providing psychological and educational interventions can lead to improvements in social aspects of patients' lives or the development of self-management techniques to cope with the disease both physically and mentally. Early palliative care involvement is essential in this population
Assessment of Patients’ Profiles and Factors Associated With Uptake in Social Prescribing in Portugal
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are shaped by modifiable and nonmodifiable factors. Addressing them requires multisectoral strategies that complement clinical care. Social prescribing (SP) enables health professionals to identify health needs that might benefit from community supports and refer patients to services that promote well‐being. This study examined the characteristics of patients referred to an SP programme in Lisbon, Portugal, and fac…
Understanding the psychosocial burden of living with advanced COPD in context of palliative care
People with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) face substantial physical and psychosocial challenges influencing their quality of life. This study explored the psychosocial aspects of people with COPD attending palliative care services. Concurrent embedded mixed methods study with 22 individuals was conducted. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews and McGill Quality of Life-Revised and Hospital Anxiety and Depress…
Can machines think? The controversy that led to the Turing test
Irony with a Point
Turing made strong statements about the future of machines in society. This article asks how they can be interpreted to advance our understanding of Turing’s philosophy. His irony has been largely caricatured or minimized by historians, philosophers, scientists, and others. Turing is often portrayed as an irresponsible scientist, or associated with childlike manners and polite humor. While these representations of Turing have been widely dissemin…
The Turing Test Argument
This book departs from existing accounts of Alan Turing's imitation game and test by placing Turing's proposal in its historical, social, and cultural context. It reconstructs a controversy in England, 1946–1952, over the intellectual capabilities of digital computers, which led Turing to propose his test. It argues that the Turing test is best understood not as a practical experiment, but as a thought experiment in the modern scientific traditio…
An ontological analysis of the electrocardiogram
Bioinformatics has been a fertile field for the application of the discipline of formal ontology. The principled representation of biomedical entities has increasingly supported biological research, with direct benefits ranging from the reformulation of medical terminologies to the introduction of new perspectives for enhanced models of Electronic Health Records (EHR). This paper introduces an application-independent ontological analysis of the e…
