Some functions of the lithotriptor, like the targeting of the stone, the generation and synchronisation of shock waves, the recognition of errors in the system and printing of the description of the treatment, couldn't be done without a computerised control. As the lithotriptor lacks an interface with a storage system for the treatments, we set up a specific database for ESWL which makes it possible to verify the result of previous treatments and to correlate the data of extracorporeal treatments with clinical data. Finally our programme generates an automatised report, producing a more complete document than that printed by the lithotriptor.

The rapid expansion occurring in World-Wide Web activity is beginning to make the concepts of ‘global hypermedia’ and ‘universal document readership’ realistic objectives of the new revolution in information technology. One consequence of this increase in usage is that educators and students are becoming more aware of the diversity of the knowledge base which can be accessed via the Internet. Although computerised databases and information services have long played a key role in bioinformatics these same resources can also be used to provide core materials for teaching and learning. The large datasets and arch ives th at have been compiled for biomedical research can be enhanced with the addition of a variety of multimedia elements (images. digital videos. animation etc.). The use of this digitally stored information in structured and self-directed learning environments is likely to increase as activity across World-Wide Web increases.

AbstractThe present study aimed to investigate the development of attention skills through middle childhood and to document developmental trajectories associated with tasks of increasing attentional demands. The sample comprised 57 children (aged 5–12 years) who were divided, according to age, into three groups. Performance differences between the groups were compared on two measures, each including four subtests of increasing complexity and tapping both speed and accuracy: CogState, a computerised measure, and The Contingency Naming Test, a paper-and-pencil test. We predicted that there would be: (1) improvements in performance with increasing age, (2) deceases in performance with increasing task complexity and (3) parallel increments in performance on computer-based and paper-and-pencil measures. The results indicated that there were rapid improvements in performance on both computer-based and paper-and-pencil measures between the ages of 5 and 8 years indicated by changes in both response speed and response accuracy. In contrast, more moderate improvements were identified between the ages of 9 to 12 years and occurred mainly in the domain of speed.

Full textAbstract:
El “handoff” o “pase del paciente” se define como el intercambio de información clínica cuando un nuevo médico o equipo médico asume el manejo de un paciente, bien sea de forma oral o escrita. La transmisión de información (handoff) oral, es una fuente de errores de comunicación y debe mejorar para disminuir los errores y los eventos adversos. La naturaleza estática de los documentos escritos hace que rápidamente la información se desactualice aumentando el error. Los documentos de handoff electrónicos, integrados en la historia clínica se han asociado con mejoras. La impresión hace que la actualización de los datos a tiempo real sea prácticamente imposible, incrementando el riesgo de una información inexacta. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el tiempo en el que los datos clínicos del documento escrito se vuelven imprecisos, caracterizar el tipo de imprecisiones e identificar diferencias entre los turnos de día y de noche, así como entre servicios médicos y quirúrgicos. La hipótesis afirmaba que al final del turno de noche, la mayoría de los documentos de handoff contenían al menos un error, con potencial de producir daño. Se usó el término de “vida media”. Documentando estas imprecisiones, los autores esperaron que existiera la posibilidad de actualizar los datos en la historia clínica electrónica a tiempo real, con el objetivo de mejorar la seguridad del paciente. ABSTRACT Expiry of a handoff printed document The handoff is defined as the change of clinical information about patients for whom physicians are responsible for between doctors and medical teams, both printed and verbal. Medical errors related to poor communication remain unacceptably common. Verbal handoffs are known to be high-risk source of communication errors and it may be improved to reduce adverse events. The static nature of printed documents makes it likely that some of the information will quickly become inaccurate, increasing the potential for medical errors. Computerised handoff documents integrated with electronic health records have been associated with improvements. Printing makes real-time automatic updating impossible, and therefore, increases the potential for inaccurate information. The main goals of this study were to measure the average time to potential inaccuracy of a printed handoff, to determine the types of inaccuracy and to identify differences between day and night shifts, as well as surgical and non-surgical services. They hypothesized that by the end of an overnight call shift, most handoffs documents would contain at least one error, which had the potential to impact patient care. They used the term “half-life”. By documenting the inaccuracies which can be expected on printed handoff documents, the authors hope to achieve a shift toward reliance on the electronic health records on screen real, real-time, with the ultimate desired result of improved patient safety.

This paper examines the impact of ICT in professional practice in the South African construction industry. This is with the view that ICT utilization in professional practice has the potential to facilitate better decision-making ability and savings in operating costs, amongst others. The data for the study was derived from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data was obtained through the survey method, while the secondary data was obtained from the review of literature. The primary data for the study was collected through a structured questionnaire survey distributed to a sample of 37 professionals in the construction industry. The results revealed that architectural, engineering and quantity surveying functions have been largely computerised. However, data and document management is still done through the traditional way of manual filing. Therefore, because construction industry professionals are a rich source of information about ICT and its improvement within the industry, the study provide valuable insight into the current usage of ICT in construction professional practise firms, which thus reveals the level of ICT adaptation in South African CI. Hence, this thus shows that ICT surveys can be used to determine the number of users of these systems, identify the core impacts ICT has had on day to day activities.

In this digital world, everything including documents, notes is kept in digital form. The requirement of converting these digital documents into processed information is in demand. This process is called as Handwritten digit recognition (HDR). The digital scan document is processed and classified to identify the hand written words into digital text so that it can be used to keep it in the documents format means in computerized font so that everybody can read it properly. In this paper, it is discussed that classifiers like KNN, SVM, CNN are used for HDR. These classifiers are trained with some predefined dataset and then used to process any digital scan document into computer document format. The scanned document is passed through four different stages for recognition where image is preprocessed, segmented and then recognized by classifier. MNIST dataset is used for training purpose. Complete CNN classifier is discussed in this paper. It is found that CNN is very accurate for HDR but still there is a scope to improve the performance in terms of accuracy, complexity and timing.

Summary Objectives To review the recent research literature in clinical decision support systems (CDSS). Methods A review of recent literature was undertaken, focussing on CDSS evaluation, consumers and public health, the impact of translational bioinformatics on CDSS design, and CDSS safety. Results In recent years, researchers have concentrated much less on the development of decision technologies, and have focussed more on the impact of CDSS in the clinical world. Recent work highlights that traditional process measures of CDSS effectiveness, such as document relevance are poor proxy measures for decision outcomes. Measuring the dynamics of decision making, for example via decision velocity, may produce a more accurate picture of effectiveness. Another trend is the broadening of user base for CDSS beyond front line clinicians. Consumers are now a major focus for biomedical informatics, as are public health officials, tasked with detecting and managing disease outbreaks at a health system, rather than individual patient level. Bioinformatics is also changing the nature of CDSS. Apart from personalisation of therapy recommendations, translational bioinformatics is creating new challenges in the interpretation of the meaning of genetic data. Finally, there is much recent interest in the safety and effectiveness of computerised physicianorderentry (CPOE) systems, given that prescribing and administration errors are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Of note, there is still much controversy surrounding the contention that poorly designed, implemented or used CDSS may actually lead to harm. Conclusions CDSS research remains an active and evolving area of research, as CDSS penetrate more widely beyond their traditional domain into consumer decision support, and as decisions become more complex, for example by involving sequence level genetic data.

Abstract Introduction Clinicians and patients must weigh the benefits of radiological imaging against the risks of radiation exposure in the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis. This report aims to estimate the cumulative absorbed and equivalent dose of radiation in patients undergoing surgical treatment for scoliosis, and to present this as an estimated risk of cancer compared to background radiation levels. Methods Retrospective review of estimated absorbed dose on the Computerised Radiology Information System (CRIS®). Patients undergoing surgical correction of scoliosis (age ≤ 25) from August 2010 to August 2015 investigated. Estimated absorbed dose [milligrays (mGy)] recorded. Pedicle screws inserted using image intensification. Equivalent dose [millisieverts (mSv)] and additional cancer risk calculated from the National Research Council document ‘Health risks from exposure to low levels of ionising radiation’ (2006). Results 271 patients identified. Mean age 15 (range 2–25). Mean total absorbed dose 2136 mGy [standard deviation (SD) 1700 mGy]. Mean number of plain spine radiographs was 8 (SD 3) with total 1884 mGy exposure (SD 1609 mGy). Additional dose provided by CT (mean 0.17 episodes), plain chest and abdominal radiographs and image intensification. Mean number of image intensification episodes was 1.1 with mean estimated exposure 180 mGy (SD 238 mGy). Image intensification accounted for 8% of the estimated absorbed dose during treatment. Estimated mean effective dose delivered was 20.952 mSv equating to an additional cancer risk of 0.27–0.45%. Conclusion Additional cancer risk from cumulative imaging is small and equivalent to approximately 8 years of natural background radiation. Use of image intensification for pedicle screw insertion is a minor contribution (8%) to the total patient dose.

Document file is a means of transforming information from one person to another or from a group to another. The development of computerized technology has greatly increased. Document files are very vulnerable to fraud, eavesdropping or data theft by irresponsible parties. In order to maintain the security of document files, this can be done by using cryptographic techniques. Cryptography is the science of keeping data secure. Cryptography is one of the data security methods that can be used to maintain data authenticity, data confidentiality, and the authenticity of data transmission. SHA, which stands for Secure Hash Algorithm, is a standard hash function published by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), (NIST, 1995a). This study will use the SHA-1 method to secure the authenticity of document files, document confidentiality, document integrity, and document authentication. This study describes the security process for detecting the authenticity of document files using the SHA-1 method in the form of detection so that confidential documents sent via public telecommunications cannot be changed or modified by unauthorized persons or unauthorized persons. This is done as an effort to minimize acts of fraud, hoaxes, or misuse of document files.

Background: Text analysis of personal documents provides insight into the cognition of those who complete suicide. Many personal documents are digitalized and easily found on the Internet, which can be used to advance suicide research. Aims: (1) To examine the temporal relationships between posting intensity and language use to sketch the suicidal process of a young man on the basis of his blog entries. (2) To investigate whether digitalized personal documents and paper documents of suicide cases have similar or different language patterns. Method: Firstly, 193 blog entries of a 13-year-old boy posted during the year prior to his suicide were analyzed using the Chinese Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (CLIWC) program. The temporal relationships between posting intensity and language use were illustrated by time series visualization. Secondly, the findings of this case study were compared with previous case studies from a systematic search of three Ovid databases. Results: Posting frequency and language use in the blog helped sketch the suicidal process of the young boy. In this case study, the ratio of positive to negative emotion words was associated with the posting trend. Progressive self-referencing appeared to be a primary predictive sign of suicide. However, the comparison did not show other clearly consistent patterns. Conclusion: Digitalized personal documents, when interpreted with other information of the individual, provide insight into the suicidal process of completed suicides. This study extends the findings of psycholinguistic analyses of suicides to the Chinese social context and online document form.

Summary Objectives: 1) To measure the incidence and impact of missed radiology and microbiology test results in an emergency department with an electronic test order and results viewing system, and 2) to assess the average times from test order to test availability. Methods: The study was conducted in the emergency department (ED) of a 370-bed metropolitan teaching hospital in Sydney, Australia. A computerised provider order entry (CPOE) system was used to order all diagnostic tests and view all test results. For microbiology and radiology tests electronic results were then printed for ED patients not admitted to the hospital to allow ED physicians to document follow-up. All radiology (n = 197) and microbiology (n = 66) tests ordered and results received for discharged ED patients were collected for a seven-day period. We measured the: 1) proportion of radiology and microbiology test results without follow-up for discharged patients; 2) impact of non follow-up on patient outcomes; 3) average time from radiological examination and microbiology specimen collection to reporting of results; and 4) average time from reporting of results to follow-up. Results: Two radiology (1.0%) and two microbiology reports (3.0%), all of which had negative findings, were never followed-up. Review of these patients’ medical records indicated there was no impact on patient outcomes or management. The average time from radiological examination to reporting of a result was 1.5 days, and from microbiology specimen collection to reporting was 2.5 days. Eighty-nine percent of radiology and 68% of microbiology results were followed-up on the same day that they were available to physicians. Conclusions: Our rates of missed test results are lower than those reported from studies where paper ordering and reporting systems were used. This suggests that the availability of CPOE systems may reduce the risk of these events. Electronic result delivery, with electronic endorsement to allow documentation of follow-up of test results, may provide additional efficiency benefits and further reduce the risk of test results which are not followed up.

5070 Background: Metformin is an inhibitor of the complex 1 in the respiratory chain, and is widely used in diabetes due to its effect on reducing insulin resistance. It has also been recently described to have effects via AMPK on inhibiting the mTOR kinase. Significant preclinical and epidemiological studies suggest its role in chemoprevention. These actions provide significant rationale to evaluate its utility in prostate cancer. Methods: Men were required to have histologically confirmed prostate cancer involving at least 20% of at least 1 unfragmented biopsy core. Exclusion criteria included patients who were found to be on treatment with any drug used for the treatment of any form of diabetes, or patients that began treatment for any form of diabetes during the course of the study. Pts were treated with up to 500mg tid of metformin. The primary objectives were to demonstrate safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant metformin administration in men with prostate cancer and to document changes in phospho-AKT signalling indices. Results: 24 patients were enrolled with 21 patients evaluable; median age was 64 yrs (range, 45-70 yrs). Baseline characteristics included median PSA 6 ng/mL (range, 3.22-36.11ng/mL). Median duration of drug treatment was 41 days (range 18-81). No grade 3 adverse events were reported during treatment or radical prostatectomy that were related to metformin. Significant pre-and post changes were noted in serum IGF1 (p=0.02), fasting glucose (p=0.03), BMI (p<0.01) and waist/hip ratio (p<0.01). There was a trend for a PSA reduction (p=0.08). There were no correlations between any metabolic, morphometric or cancer-related serum indices. On a per patient analyses, metformin reduced a computerised relative ki67 proliferation index by an average of 29% (absolute difference of 1.4%) compared to the baseline biopsy (p=0.006). P-4eBP1 staining was also reduced as assessed by H-score (p<0.01) consistent with the ability of metformin to inhibit mTOR. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant metformin is well tolerated prior to radical prostatectomy and shows promising effects on proliferation and signaling indices. Further research is needed to define the clinical utility of metformin in prostate cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT00881725.

The archaeological evidence for pre-Columbian roadways in the northern Mayan area is well documented. These range from broad intracity causeways and long, raised intercity roadways to small local pathways. In the colonial Mayan–Spanish and Spanish–Mayan dictionaries written by Franciscan friars in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries there are various references to roadways. These references were located through a computer-aided search through the dictionaries. Supplementing these references is the information given in various documents written by Franciscan historians, as well as the variety of documents written by the Maya. This information was also located through searches in computerized versions of these documents. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate these references to determine how the information in them can be used to broaden our understanding of Mayan roadways, culture, and society.

Introduction: Semi-industrialized countries like Nepal have high mortality and disability rates due to cerebrovascular accident, representing for more than 80% of all stroke deaths globally. Stroke is the most common neurological disorder requiring prolonged hospital stay. Aims of our study was to evaluate the role of computerized tomography in evaluation of cerebrovascular accident by differentiating ischemia from hemorrhage and proper identification of negative cases.
 Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study of total 155 patients, clinically diagnosed as stroke, referred to our department of radiology for computerised tomography evaluation during six month period, were enrolled into study. The clinical information, proper history, computerised tomography findings were properly documented and analysed in SPSS version 20 software.
 Results: Out of total 155 patients, 85 cases (55 %) were males and 70 cases (45 %) were females with male: female ratio of 1.2:1. The mean age of the patients was 63±15 years. There was significant correlation between clinical with neuroradiological findings as evidenced by p value of 0.000. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of clinical findings when correlated to CT in diagnosing ischemic infarction were 84.3%, 67.3%, 82.6%, 70%. Similarly, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value in diagnosing hemorrhagic infarction were 67.3%, 84.3%, 70%, 82.6% respectively.
 Conclusions: Computerised tomography is the first line reliable imaging modality for diagnosis, management of cerebrovascular accident and exclusion of stroke mimicker lesions. Education regarding prevention and control of modifiable risk factors can minimize the incidence of stroke.

In the 21st century, new digital electronic technologies like computer, scanner, digital camera, computerized photo-stat machines and different types of printers, editing soft-wares are used, which can be utilize to commit document frauds. Rubber-stamps are used as an official seal describing government, private officer’s designation, department information etc. They sometimes use rubber-stamp for authentication, certification or verification of original documents. Fraudster uses digital technology to develop imitation of ‘signature rubber-stamp’ to perform white caller crime. Such rubber-stamps containing ‘Signatures’ and utilize it for committing crime by applying on documents. This is a case study, which defines a specific modus operandi used by fraudsters in India. Authors have investigated such modus operandi of fraud, which is very difficult to identify by a layman. This type of modus operandi could only be detected with the scientific instrument namely VSC-6000/HS with different functionality. The main aim of this research work is to develop simple, rapid, sensitive, eco-friendly and non-destructive method to identify signatures applied with rubber-stamps. The research in such field will be directly beneficial to society, financial institutions, law enforcement agencies which give additional motivation to do research for examination of questioned documents.

The authors undertook a blinded observational study to determine the percentage of prescriber contacts documented as pharmacist clinical interventions. This 2-month study was conducted in two nursing units with computerized physician order entry. All orders from these units were collected and evaluated for possible prescribing errors and documentation of a pharmacist's contact with a prescriber. Additionally, all pharmacist interventions documented in these units during the study period were collected and entered into the pharmacist intervention database. The percentage of all pharmacist interventions vs the number of documented prescriber contacts on original orders was then calculated. A total of 14 pharmacists were involved in the provision of pharmaceutical care to patients in the study units. During the 2-month study period, a total of 221 orders required pharmacists to contact prescribers regarding potential prescribing errors. However, only 109 (49.3%) of these were documented as clinical interventions. The findings indicate a need for improved documentation of clinical services (eg, interventions) performed by pharmacists.

 El trabajo tiene por objetivo revisar la evidencia científica relacionada con el fútbol para personas amputadas. Para la búsqueda de referencia, se utilizó como descriptores las siguientes palabras clave: “Football” y “Amputee”. Los términos fueron introducidos en inglés en las siguientes bases de datos informatizadas: SPORTDiscus, PUBMED, Web Of Science y SCOPUS, considerando todos los documentos publicados hasta septiembre del 2020. Para limitar la búsqueda, se introdujeron cuatro criterios de inclusión: 1) Seleccionar documentos disponibles a texto completo o con resumen, 2) Contar con suficiente información relevante sobre el fútbol para personas con amputaciones (Mínimo 50 palabras), 3) Aportar información relacionada con la condición física, entrenamiento, lesiones y/o aspectos sociales de los jugadores de fútbol para personas con amputaciones, y 4) Estar escrito en español, inglés o portugués. La revisión sistemática exploratoria contó con diez documentos relacionados con el fútbol para personas con amputaciones. Los documentos existentes relacionados con la temática son escasos como consecuencia de la falta de evolución de esta modalidad. Estos manuscritos, en su mayoría, tratan aspectos como la fuerza y la resistencia. Además, un sólo documento habla de la utilización de dispositivos inerciales en sus mediciones. Por tanto, surge la necesidad de realizar nuevas investigaciones en el ámbito de fútbol para personas con amputaciones.
 Abstract. The study aims to review the scientific evidence related to football for amputees. For the reference search, the following keywords were used as descriptors: “Football” and “Amputee”. The terms were entered in English in the following computerized databases: SPORTDiscus, PUBMED, Web of Science and SCOPUS, considering all the documents published up to September 2020. To limit the search, four inclusion criteria were introduced: 1) Select documents available in full text or with abstract, 2) Have enough relevant information about soccer for amputees (Minimum 50 words), 3) Provide information related to the physical condition, training, injuries and / or social aspects of the players of soccer for people with amputations, and 4) Be written in Spanish, English or Portuguese. The exploratory systematic review featured ten football related documents for amputees. The existing documents related to the subject are scarce as a consequence of the lack of evolution of this modality. These manuscripts, for the most part, deal with aspects such as strength and endurance. Furthermore, only one document talks about the use of inertial devices in their measurements. Therefore, there is a need for further research in the field of football for amputees.

Summary Objectives: To compare the outcome of the implementation of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems in two Dutch hospitals. Methods: Qualitative research methods, including interviews in both hospitals, observations of system in use, observations of staff meetings and document analysis were used to understand the implementation of CPOE. The transcribed texts and implementation documents were analyzed for relevant concepts.The transcripts and field notes were analyzed using a heuristic success and failure model with medical work as the primary focus. Results: Occasions that determined the outcome of the implementation were classified according to factors that may influence the success or failure of implementing systems. Conclusions: The themes and patterns that emerged from the data helped validate the concept of medical work as the primary focus of our analysis model; in addition the concept of a support base necessary to accept changes in medical work that result from introducing CPOE may help to understand the different implementation outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the research is to determine the essence and role of digital sources in the system of information support for historianʼs research practices. Methods: analysis and synthesis; system approach; comparative; genetic; logical-linguistic. Main results, concise conclusions. In the scientific, legal and regulatory literature there is the term "electronic document", the definition of which is tied to computer origin. The article discusses the legitimacy of the use of such a term in the research practices of historians. It is shown that the term "digital source" is adequate, taking into account the definition of the concept "historical source", which is based on the method of encoding information, and not on the means of its storage. The article discusses the positive and negative properties of digital sources; levels of information in them that are important to historians; attributes of digital documents. Analyzed approaches to the definition of "historical source". The author proposed an information model of the historianʼs cognitive activity as a communication process. During the study, the concepts of "digital document" and "electronic document", "digital resource" and "electronic resource", "electronic archive" and "digital archive", "electronic library" and "digital library" are compared. The author substantiated that the correct names of computerized information systems of a humanitarian profile are not the concepts of "electronic archive" and "electronic library", but the concepts of "archive of digital documents" and "library of digital resources". Practical value. Refining the terminology will ensure proper understanding and its correct application in the research practices of historians and other humanities scholars. Originality. The study was carried out on the basis of a systematic critical analysis of literature and ideas, their further synthesis and the selection of the most appropriate theoretical concepts from the standpoint of logic. Scientific novelty. The article proposes a modern information model of historianʼs cognitive activity as a communication process. The author indicated the place of digital sources in the historianʼs intelligence communications. Type of article. Theoretical analytical.

Abstract Objective We study the use of speech recognition and information extraction to generate drafts of Australian nursing-handover documents. Methods Speech recognition correctness and clinicians’ preferences were evaluated using 15 recorder–microphone combinations, six documents, three speakers, Dragon Medical 11, and five survey/interview participants. Information extraction correctness evaluation used 260 documents, six-class classification for each word, two annotators, and the CRF++ conditional random field toolkit. Results A noise-cancelling lapel-microphone with a digital voice recorder gave the best correctness (79%). This microphone was also the most preferred option by all but one participant. Although the participants liked the small size of this recorder, their preference was for tablets that can also be used for document proofing and sign-off, among other tasks. Accented speech was harder to recognize than native language and a male speaker was detected better than a female speaker. Information extraction was excellent in filtering out irrelevant text (85% F1) and identifying text relevant to two classes (87% and 70% F1). Similarly to the annotators’ disagreements, there was confusion between the remaining three classes, which explains the modest 62% macro-averaged F1. Discussion We present evidence for the feasibility of speech recognition and information extraction to support clinicians’ in entering text and unlock its content for computerized decision-making and surveillance in healthcare. Conclusions The benefits of this automation include storing all information; making the drafts available and accessible almost instantly to everyone with authorized access; and avoiding information loss, delays, and misinterpretations inherent to using a ward clerk or transcription services.

Full textAbstract:
Background: There are rare reports of broken surgical blades occurring during lumbar discectomy, and even fewer that discuss their retrieval. Case Description: While a 54-year-old male was undergoing a lumbar discectomy, the knife blade was broken. As it was difficult to retrieve the fragment through the original incision, the patient was closed, and a postoperative angio-computerized tomography (CT) was obtained. When the CT angiogram (CTA) documented the retained fragment had become lodged near the iliac vein within the psoas muscle, a second operation for blade retrieval, consisting of a paravertebral, lateral transpsoas approach, was successfully performed. Conclusion: In some cases, it is difficult to retrieve a broken scalpel blade during the index surgery. When this occurs, we would recommend closing the patient, and obtaining a CTA to better document the location of the retained foreign body. Based upon these findings, a safer second stage procedure may be performed (e.g., as in this case using a paravertebral lateral transpsoas approach) to avoid undue sequelae/morbidity.

Summary Objectives: The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has focused attention on patient safety in the united States. Other countries share these concerns. Methods: Governmental agencies and professional organizations are redefining approaches to safety, calling upon the use of information and communication technology as an enabler and expanding the range of evidence admissible in documenting success. Results: Efforts to understand medical errors have used retrospective chart review, incident reporting, and computerized surveillance; the result is an evolving picture of the number, nature, and cause of errors. Approaches used to prevent errors include computerized physician order entry, decision support tools, computerized monitoring, and evidence-based practice; varying levels of evidence document their success. Conclusions: Technology offers challenging capabilities, not simple solutions. New evidence and new tools demand new approaches and attention to human factors.

Abstract Context.—Although there is nearly universal agreement that laboratory tests are overutilized, the degree of overutilization in a given institution is difficult to quantify and monitor across time. Objective.—To detect and clearly document repetitive daily ordering of a commonly ordered laboratory test (serum sodium) by employing a simple, focused, computerized query of a test result database followed by chart review and validation. Design.—A retrospective computerized query of our clinical data repository was performed to find inpatients who displayed normal serum sodium test results on 4 or more consecutive days, without any abnormal values during the same admission. The search was limited to a 1-month period. A subset of these patients was selected for chart review. Results.—One hundred sixteen patients met our criteria, and the tests ordered for those patients comprised 5.1% of the monthly volume of serum sodium tests ordered in our institution. Chart review revealed a consistent lack of documentation of medical necessity for repeat testing as well as persistence of repeat serum sodium orders until the end of the patients' hospital course. Conclusions.—We conclude that a focused query of data derived from a clinical data repository can detect and document overutilization of a common laboratory test in a convincing fashion within a given institution.

Full textAbstract:
The Ocean Technology Foundation and Naval Historical Center have been searching for the remains of the Bonhomme Richard, which sank in the western North Sea as a casualty of the American Revolution. Historical information about the ship's final resting place is lacking, but its activities up until the sinking are well documented. The results of many years of historical research have been incorporated into computer modeling programs, and a Geographic Information System (GIS) map was created to document all known information on shipwreck locations, seabed geology, and other pertinent information to enable the most effective survey. A recent survey expedition utilized the U.S. Navy's nuclear research submarine NR-1 to search nearly 400 square nautical miles of the North Sea. This paper focuses on the technological tools used in the search for the Bonhomme Richard: computer modeling, GIS, and submarine technologies. It also discusses the benefits and drawbacks of using a submarine to conduct marine archaeological surveys. The expedition yielded insights into the strengths and limitations of computerized drift modeling, especially when used to reconcile empiric environmental data with conflicting eyewitness accounts.

Full textAbstract:
During the last 10 years, computerized dynamic posturography has yielded various patterns of sway on the sensory organization test and the motor control test that have been associated with a variety of organic balance disorders. Some aspects of performance during computerized dynamic posturography, however, are under conscious control. Voluntary movements not indicative of physiologic response to balance system stimulation can also affect computerized dynamic posturography results. Quantification of nonorganic or “aphysiologic” response patterns in normal subjects, patients, and suspected malingerers is crucial to justify use of computerized dynamic posturography for identification of physiologically inconsistent results. For this purpose the computerized dynamic posturography records of 122 normal subjects, 347 patients with known or suspected balance disorders, and 72 subjects instructed to feign a balance disturbance were critically evaluated by use of seven measurement criteria, which were postulated as indicating aphysiologic sway. Each criterion was scored with a standard calculation of the raw data in a random, blinded fashion. The results of this multicenter study show that three of the seven criteria are significantly different in the suspected “malingerer” group when compared with either the normal or patient group. The relative strength of each criterion in discerning organic from nonorganic sway provides the examiner with a measure of reliability during platform posture testing. This study demonstrates that computerized dynamic posturography can accurately identify and document nonorganic sway patterns during routine assessment of posture control.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Acute abdominal pain is a common chief complaint in patients examined reporting to emergency department. The sensitivity of CT is 96% in acute abdomen. In order to decrease the mortality and morbidity rate, an efficient and correct diagnosis should be given for these patients. When investigations, like USG examinations are inconclusive, in such cases, multi-detector computer tomography is a widely accepted primary investigation of choice in patients coming with intense abdominal pain. The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of MDCT in diagnosis of acute abdomen; document the sensitivity and specificity of MDCT; the incidence of different pathologies presenting as acute abdomen.Methods: Prospective study on 64 subjects with acute pain abdomen was subjected to MDCT in GMC Srinagar. The duration of this study was from January to May 2019.Results: About 36 patients were females and 28 were males. Youngest patient had an age of 7 years to eldest patient having age of 79 years. Most common causes of acute abdomen were acute pancreatitis in 21.8, acute appendicitis in 15.6% and bowel obstruction in12.5%. In our study the sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictable values of MDCT were 95.0%, 75%%, 98.3% and 60% respectively.Conclusions: We conclude that MDCT has high sensitivity and accuracy rate. In inconclusive cases, MDCT is recommended to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. The results obtained in the study were comparable to pioneer studies conducted worldwide.

AbstractData are presented on the use of a browsing and encoding utility to improve coded data entry for an electronic patient record system. Traditional and computerized discharge summaries were compared: during three phases of coding ICD-9 diagnoses phase I, no coding; phase II, manual coding, and phase III, computerized semiautomatic coding. Our data indicate that (1) only 50% of all diagnoses in a discharge summary are encoded manually; (2) using a computerized browsing and encoding utility this percentage may increase by 64%; (3) when forced to encode manually, users may “shift” as much as 84% of relevant diagnoses from the appropriate coding section to other sections thereby “bypassing” the need to encode, this was reduced by up to 41 % with the computerized approach, and (4) computerized encoding can improve completeness of data encoding, from 46 to 100%. We conclude that the use of a computerized browsing and encoding tool can increase data quality and the percentage of documented data. Mechanisms bypassing the need to code can be avoided.

Progress in providing coordinated and appropriate services for moderately and severely handicapped individuals is greatly facilitated by the use of functional assessment tools. These tools, which document living, working, and leisure skill levels, can facilitate communication between educational and rehabilitation service providers. The use of computer technology can improve the assessment process by providing instruments which are more accurate, less time-consuming, and more flexible than conventional print assessment instruments. In addition, computerized assessment tools, with their networking capabilities, can facilitate the development of data bases for specific groups of disabled individuals, and this, in turn, can enhance systematic programming on a statewide or regional basis. This paper details the advantages of computerized assessments and examines one such instrument, the Functional Skills Screening Inventory.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional paper-and-pencil neuropsychological batteries used to document cognitive deficits in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients lack timing precision. This makes it difficult to accurately measure psychomotor slowing, a central cognitive symptom of MS. A dditionally, traditional batteries lack multiple alternate forms necessary to control for practice effects when assessing cognition over time. Finally, such batteries are lengthy and expensive. C omputerized neuropsychological batteries address many of these shortcomings. They measure response time more precisely, require less administration time, include alternate forms, and are ideal for rapid screening/triage. Although there are normative data on the reliability and validity of computerized measures, there have been no controlled validation studies with MS patients. The current study was designed to validate a computerized neuropsychological batter y (ANAM) for use with relapsing-remitting (RR) MS patients. Prior to initiation of interferon-b-1a (Avonex) treatment, subjects participated in a neuropsychological evaluation consisting of traditional and computerized measures. Moderate-to -high correlations were found between computerized and traditional measures. C omputerized tests accurately predicted performance on key traditional tests. The batter y was also concordant with traditional measures in identifying RR MS patients with and without neurocognitive impairment. Findings are discussed with respect to increased accuracy and accessibility of neuropsychological evaluations for MS patients.

A comprehensive company information system is called Accounting, because it processes all transactions into a document in the form of financial statements. Its role is systematic and covers the entire data and information of documents from all the company's business transaction activities as a whole. Information obtained from the information system in the accounting report will be submitted to management. In this era of globalization, the role of information systems is very important in various fields. Companies must focus on providing users with fast, accurate but still accurate information to financial statements, and other financial data that contribute to decisions and policies made by management. The company uses information systems in the hope that it can help the company achieve its goals. The accounting information system that is currently widely applied by companies is the Information System on Accounts Payable or Accounts Payable. In addition to providing information on Trade Debt data or Accounts Payable, PT Framas Indonesia has applied the Accounting Information System well. Most of the processes have been computerized properly, PT Framas has also designed recording procedures and Internal Control on Accounts Payable.

Abstract The exploitation of databases for lexical purposes has undergone extensive development during the first two decades of the 21st century. The methodological implications of this fruitful alliance between corpora and electronic dictionaries nonetheless deserve particular attention, the digital aspects as well as those pertaining to lexicology and metalexicography. The integration of the non-literary vocabulary of the Documents linguistiques galloromans into the database of the Dictionnaire Étymologique de l’Ancien Français (DEAFpré), currently in progress, provides an opportunity to illustrate the demands of a rigorous conception of computer-based lexicography (i. e. based on sound philological principles, ideally innovative, manual treatment of lexemes with a computer-assisted element, concentration on etymological, semantic and syntagmatic aspects). The case-study presented in this article focuses on the potential for interpretation afforded by corpus-based lexicography, its other main aim being an evaluation of the results and the cost in terms of time. The computerised system elaborated for this purpose can be extended to other projects, particularly those focusing on medieval Galloromania.
