Geriatric Care Management System Powered by the IoT
The digitalisation of geriatric care refers to the use of emerging technologies to manage and provide person-centered care to the elderly by collecting patients’ data electronically and using them to streamline the care process, which improves the overall quality, accuracy, and efficiency of healthcare. In many countries, healthcare providers still rely on the manual measurement of bioparameters, inconsistent monitoring, and paper-based care plans to manage and deliver care to elderly patients. This can lead to a number of problems, including incomplete and inaccurate record-keeping, errors, and delays in identifying and resolving health problems.

Therapeutic Options for Childhood Absence Epilepsy
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a common pediatric generalized epileptic syndrome. Although it is traditionally considered as a benign self-limited condition, the apparent benign nature of this syndrome has been revaluated in recent years. Old and new therapeutic options in particular for resistant forms of CAE are discussed in this entry.

Mental Health and Healthy Habits in University Students
The move to university is a stage of constant psychosocial and academic changes, where anxious and depressive symptomatologies usually appear, in addition to the aggravation of previous mental health problems. The prevalence of psychopathology found was high, especially depressive and anxious pathologies. This incidence tends to be higher in undergraduates and/or Arts and Humanities, coinciding with those who tend to have poorer lifestyle habits.

Evaluation of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are epithelial neoplasms that arise from cells of the endocrine and nervous systems, with distinctive differentiation, and could occur in the various organ but more frequently from the gastrointestinal tract, followed by the lung. GEP-NENs are NENs occurring at various anatomical sites of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, and they comprise a heterogeneous group of epithelial neoplasms with a wide range of aggressiveness. Imaging acts as a major role in evaluating NENs. These include detecting, staging, evaluating the response, and prognosis.

Challenges in Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence Surgery
It can be said that deep-learning-based methods have significantly advanced research and development in the area of robotic surgery, across various tasks including objects detection and recognition, classification, navigation and construction of 3D representation of the environment. However, one of the key requirements for successfully implementation of DL-based methods is the availability of large volumes of carefully annotated datasets. In the surgical environment, this can be very expensive and labor-intensive tasks. More importantly, in some scenarios, it can be even impossible to acquire such data, for example, when you consider the need for estimating depth information for endoscopic surgery images, which is an important task to facilitate navigation in a surgery setting using a robot or a semi-autonomous device. In the deep learning era, if the researchers can obtain large volumes of good quality videos with the corresponding depth maps, then such a task may be very possible.

Crowd Management during COVID-19 with Artificial Intelligence
COVID-19 requires crowded events to enforce restrictions, aimed to contain the spread of the virus. However, we have seen numerous events not observing these restrictions, thus becoming super spreader events. In order to contain the spread of a human to human communicable disease, a number of restrictions, including wearing face masks, maintaining social distancing, and adhering to regular cleaning and sanitization, are critical. These restrictions are absolutely essential for crowded events. Some crowded events can take place spontaneously, such as a political rally or a protest march or a funeral procession. Controlling spontaneous crowded events, like a protest march, political rally, celebration after a sporting event, or concert, can be quite difficult, especially during a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Carbon Footprints of Active and Non-Active Transport Modes
Carbon footprint is defined as the exclusive total amount of carbon dioxide emissions that are directly or indirectly caused by an activity or accumulated over the lifespan of a product. This definition suggests that a carbon footprint can be generated directly or indirectly by an individual through daily behaviours.

The Trauma of Perinatal Loss
Perinatal loss, the loss of a fetus or neonate between conception and 28 days after birth, is a worldwide phenomenon impacting millions of individuals annually. Whether due to miscarriage, stillbirth, life-limiting fetal diagnoses, or neonatal death, up to 60% of bereaved parents exhibit symptoms of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder.
