SUMMARYAn open-label, prospective cohort, active healthcare-associated infection surveillance sequential study was conducted in four Italian intensive-care units. The aim was to determine the effect of switching from open (glass) to closed fully collapsible plastic intravenous (i.v.) infusion containers (Viaflo®) on rate and time to onset of central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CVC-BSI). A total of 1173 adult patients were enrolled. The CVC-BSI rate during the open container period was significantly higher than during the closed container period (8·2vs. 3·5 BSI/1000 CVC days, relative risk 0·43, 95% confidence interval 0·22–0·84,P=0·01). The probability of developing a CVC-BSI was assessed over time comparing open and closed i.v. infusion containers. In the closed container period, it remained fairly constant (0·8% at days 1–3 to 1·4% at days 7–9) whereas during the open container period it increased (2% at days 1–3 to 5·8% at days 7–9). Overall, the chance of acquiring a CVC-BSI significantly decreased by 61% in the closed container period (Cox proportional hazard ratio 0·39,P=0·004).

Bacgkround: Efforts in the eradication of mosquito breeding have been done, but have not shown maximum results due to lack of community participation caused by several factors, such as lack of knowledge, attitude and practice that are considered to play important role in reducing the incidence of vector-borne diseases transmitted by mosquitoes. This study aimed was to determine the relationship of knowledge, attitude and practice of cleaning services with the amount of mosquito larvae at water container around Bhayangkara Hospital Palembang. Populations in this study were 25 cleaning services in Bhayangkara Hospital Palembang.
Methods: Samples in this study were all populations taken by using total sampling technique. Data included the number and types of water containers, the number and species of mosquito larvae found in the water containers, and data of knowledge, attitude and practice of cleaning services. The results were analysed using Kruskal-Wallis statistic test.
Results: There were 75 water containers, 63 water containers were indoors, one of them contains larvae, and 12 water containers were outdoors, the type of two outdoors water containers that contained larvae were plastic buckets. Total larvae that found were 16 larvae of Aedes aegypti. Based on Kruskal-Wallis statistic test, there was no average difference between the number of mosquito larvae based on knowledge with p>alpha± (0.072>0.05), and there was an average difference between the number of mosquito larvae based on attitudewith p<alpha± (0.006>0.05) and practice with p<alpha± (0.019<0.05).
Conclusion: There was a negative association between attitude and practice against the number of mosquito larvae, but not with knowledge.

AbstractOejective:Examination of suspended macroscopic debris that was noted in hospital cafeteria drinking water over a prolonged period of time.Setting:A tertiary care hospital.Design:A retrospective description of events.Methods:Conventional medical microbiology techniques were employed to determine if contamination of drinking water had occurred.Results:Microscopic examinations of the debris showed live nematodes similar to Strongyloides stercoralis rhabditiform larvae and amoebic trophozoites. A culture of an ice container in the cafeteria yielded coliform bacteria. Hospital employees lost work because of a diarrheal illness thought to be contracted from drinking cafeteria water. Further investigation revealed that the debris contained numerous ciliated organisms, nematodes, fresh water amoebae, bacterial mats, flagellated fungi, and unidentified cysts suggesting that the debris was of a freshwater origin rather than fecal contamination. Another hospital served by a collateral city water line experienced a similar problem. The debris was observed in November when lake water in the reservoir undergoes inversion.Conclusions:Nonpathogenic freshwater microbiota probably originating from the city reservoir were the cause of pseudocontamination of hospital drinking water.

ObjectivesTo compare global warming potential (GWP) of hospitals converting from single-use sharps containers to reusable sharps containers (SSC, RSC). Does conversion to RSC result in GWP reduction?DesignUsing BS PAS 2050:2011 principles, a retrospective, before/after intervention quantitative model together with a purpose-designed, attributional ‘cradle-to-grave’ life-cycle tool, were used to determine the annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the two sharps containment systems. Functional unit was total fill line litres (FLL) of sharps containers needed to dispose of sharps for 1-year period in 40 trusts. Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions were included. Results were workload-normalised using National Health Service (NHS) national hospital patient-workload indicators. A sensitivity analysis examined areas of data variability.SettingAcute care hospital trusts in UK.Participants40 NHS hospital Trusts using RSC.InterventionConversion from SSC to RSC. SSC and RSC usage details in 17 base line trusts immediately prior to 2018 were applied to the RSC usage details of the 40 trusts using RSC in 2019.Primary outcome measureThe comparison of GWP calculated in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) generated in the manufacture, transport, service and disposal of 12 months, hospital-wide usage of both containment systems in the 40 trusts.ResultsThe 40 trusts converting to RSC reduced their combined annual GWP by 3267.4 tonnes CO2e (−83.9%); eliminated incineration of 900.8 tonnes of plastic; eliminated disposal/recycling of 132.5 tonnes of cardboard and reduced container exchanges by 61.1%. GHG as kg CO2e/1000 FLL were 313.0 and 50.7 for SSC and RSC systems, respectively. A sensitivity analysis showed substantial GHG reductions within unit processes could be achieved, however, their impact on relevant final GWP comparison varied <5% from base comparison.ConclusionsAdopting RSC is an example of a sustainable purchasing decision that can assist trusts meet NHS GHG reduction targets and can reduce GWP permanently with minimal staff behavioural change.

Hand hygiene is central to hospital infection control. During the 2014–2016 West Africa Ebola virus disease epidemic in Liberia, gaps in hand hygiene infrastructure and health worker training contributed to hospital-based Ebola transmission. Hand hygiene interventions were undertaken post-Ebola, but many improvements were not sustainable. This study characterizes barriers to, and facilitators of, hand hygiene in rural Liberian hospitals and evaluates readiness for sustainable, locally derived interventions to improve hand hygiene. Research enumerators collected data at all hospitals in Bong and Lofa counties, Liberia, in the period March–May 2020. Enumerators performed standardized spot checks of hand hygiene infrastructure and supplies, structured observations of hand hygiene behavior, and semi-structured key informant interviews for thematic analysis. During spot checks, hospital staff reported that handwashing container water was always available in 89% (n = 42) of hospital wards, piped running water in 23% (n = 11), and soap in 62% (n = 29). Enumerators observed 5% of wall-mounted hand sanitizer dispensers (n = 8) and 95% of pocket-size dispensers (n = 53) to be working. In interviews, hospital staff described willingness to purchase personal hand sanitizer dispensers when hospital-provided supplies were unavailable. Low-cost, sustainable interventions should address supply and infrastructure-related obstacles to hospital hand hygiene improvement.

AbstractNeedlestick injuries in a 720-bed tertiary care hospital were analyzed before and after the introduction of a rigid, puncture resistant, needle disposal system. Following implementation of the system, disposal-related injuries decreased from 0.9 per 100 full-time equivalent employees/year to 0.3 per 100 full-time equivalent employees/year (p <.005). However, needlesticks associated with procedures (2.2 vs. 4.4 per 100 full-time equivalent employees/year, p <.0005), and those resulting from loose needles (0.5 vs. 1.9 per 100 full-time equivalent employees/year, p <.0005), increased. Injuries occurring during needle recapping or the carrying of needles were not significantly altered. Total needlestick injuries increased from 6.0 to 8.7 per 100 full-time equivalent employees/year (p <.0005).We concluded that a rigid, puncture resistant, needle disposal system can reduce disposal-related needlestick injuries, but must also be perceived as convenient to impact substantially upon needlesticks associated with other activities.

Texto completoResumen
Denna rapport beskriver framtagandet av Katastrofsjukhus, robustare fältsjukhus med förbättrad standard. Jämförelse görs mellan det framtagna Katastrofsjukhuset och uppblåsbara tältsjukhus samt standarden i svenska sjukhus. En färdig produkt finns ännu inte framtagen och rapporten lämnar en hel del lösa trådar, men är en bra grund för mer omfattande utveckling av konceptet och som en idéstudie till en vetenskaplig avhandling eller annan fortsatt forskning. Problemet med befintliga fältsjukhus är främst miljön i operationsavdelningen. Detta är något det lagts stor vikt vid och en strävan att uppnå svensk standard har genomsyrat hela processen. En annan viktig punkt vid framtagandet av Katastrofsjukhus har varit konstruktionens vikt, vilket är tältsjukhusens största fördel. Vikten är av stor betydelse vid både transport och uppbyggnad. Katastrofsjukhusets konstruktion utgår ifrån standardcontainrar för att skapa goda transportmöjligheter. Containrarna är en del av konstruktionen och de rymmer prefabricerade element som utgör Katastrofsjukhusets huvudmodul. Konstruktionen är dimensionerad för att klara kraftiga snö- och vindlaster. Trots detta har elementen gjorts så lätta att det är möjligt att bygga upp hela sjukhuset för hand. Dimensionering efter laster som verkar under en jordbävning har också beräknats redovisas inte i detta arbete då de ej är fullständiga. Utformningen av Katastrofsjukhuset har gjorts för att på bästa sätt fylla det stora behov som finns av sterila operationssalar, samtidigt som planlösningen är anpassningsbar för att Katastrofsjukhuset ska kunna erbjuda olika typer av vård. Rapporten ger även rekommendationer för fortsatt utveckling av Katastrofsjukhuset.This report describes the development of Emergency Hospital, a robust field hospital with an improved standard. Comparison is made between the developed Emergency Hospital and inflatable tent hospitals and with the standard in Swedish hospitals. A completed product is not presented in this report and it leaves a lot of loose ends, but is a good basis for more extensive development of the concept and as a conceptual study of a scientific treatise, or other continued research. The problem with existing field hospitals is mainly the environment in the operating theater. This is something that has been a strong focus, and a desire to achieve the Swedish standard has permeated the entire process. Another important point in the development of Emergency Hospital has been the mass of the structure, which is the tent hospitals' greatest advantage. The weight is of great importance in both transportation and construction. The Emergency Hospital's design is based on standard containers to provide good transportation possibilities. The containers are a part of the design and they also contain all the prefabricated elements which create the Emergency Hospital's main module. The structure is dimensioned to handle heavy snow and wind loads. Nevertheless, the elements made so light that it is possible to build up the hospital by hand. The design for loads acting during an earthquake has been calculated, but is not included in this report since they are not complete. The hospital has been designed to fill the large needs for sterile operating room, but at the same time the layout is adaptable for different types of care needs. The report also gives recommendations for further development of the Emergency Hospital.

Roll containers are widely used in transportation and delivery operations due to the high level of flexibility and agility they offer to supply chains. However, there is a negative side to the application of roll containers in industry which can be removed or minimized by proper ergonomic and technical considerations. In this thesis work, the safety problems, economic issues and environmental effects associated with roll containers being used in VGR-WESTMA organization are reviewed in order to come up with alternative solutions to the current way of using old roll containers in their supply chain. The analysis of the problem resulted in ergonomic, safety and technical recommendation on using roll containers within their associated supply chain. The appropriate technical design of roll containers that fits the organization facilities are introduced with the aim of streamlining the supply chain flow within the organization. However, cost is considered as a limiting factor for this organization. Hence, proper ergonomic awareness and use of appropriate accessories to the roll containers are considered as a contemporary alternative solution to replacing roll containers being used in this supply chain.

Texto completoResumen
Diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke has advanced considerably in the past 2 decades. Most notably, in cases of ischemic stroke, intravenous alteplase has become the standard of medical treatment despite its multiple contraindications and limited time window. More recently, trials have proven that endovascular thrombectomy is superior to medical therapy alone, advancing the standard of care for patients who present with acute ischemic stroke from a large vessel occlusion and salvageable brain tissue. The treatment of hemorrhagic stroke now involves the use of novel pharmacological agents and advanced minimally invasive technology. Important changes have also occurred at the levels of hospital organization and treatment decision-making. Such changes in organization and designation of hospitals with distinct levels of stroke care and the variety of stroke protocols now requires team work of emergency medical services (EMS), Emergency Department, stroke neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neurointerventionalists. This book provides an overview of the modern medical and surgical options for the treatment of patients with acute ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. The pivotal role of EMS in prehospital evaluation and triage of a stroke patient and the levels of stroke systems of care are discussed. In addition, the current guidelines on the management of acute stroke, with the focus on early care of acute stroke patients at the Emergency Department and the first 24 hours of hospital admission, are reviewed. Each chapter contains a discussion of common clinical scenarios including initial management steps, practical points, and common pitfalls.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract Research question “What is helpful as well as missing from palliative chaplain spiritual assessment progress notes?” arose from the context of seeking to know how palliative chaplain spiritual assessment progress notes can best be relevant and make a difference for a patient’s care. Seven focus groups, two of which were in a children’s hospital context, were hosted with 42 non-chaplain palliative team participants. The major results revealed four important considerations for palliative care chaplains. First, palliative interprofessional team members want more help and information regarding a patient’s decision-making, especially related to a patient’s religion and/or spirituality. Second, and in line with palliative care principles, the participants discussed their desire for relevant notation on a patient’s sense of suffering and coping. Third, a request was made for the chaplain to consistently document his/her perception of emotion emerging from the patient and/or family. The last major result to emerge was that the progress notes should have a summary content section at the top of the note with the most important information contained there.

Texto completoResumen
In Europe and other advanced medical communities, medical gases are generally supplied by pipeline, with cylinders available as back up. Large hospitals usually have oxygen supplied and stored in liquid form, since one volume of it provides 840 volumes of gaseous oxygen at 15◦C. It is stored in a secure Vacuum Insulated Evaporator (VIE) on the hospital site. The arrangement is shown in Figure 22.1. The VIE consists of an insulated container, the inner layer of which is made of stainless steel, the outer of which is made of carbon steel. The liquid oxygen is stored in the inner container at about−160◦C (lower than the critical temperature of−118◦C) at a pressure of between 700 and 1200 kPa. There is a vapour withdrawal line at the top of the VIE, from which oxygen vapour can go via a restrictor to a superheater, where the gas is heated towards ambient temperature. Where demand exceeds supply from this route, there is also a liquid withdrawal line from the bottom of the VIE, from which liquid oxygen can be withdrawn; the liquid can be made to join the vapour line downstream of the restrictor and pass either through the superheater or back to the top of the VIE. The liquid can also be made to pass through an evaporator before joining the vapour line. After passing through the superheater, the oxygen vapour is passed through a series of pressure regulators to drop the pressure down to the distribution pipeline pressure of 410 kPa. It should be remembered that no insulation is perfect and there is a pressure relief valve on top of the VIE in case lack of demand and gradual temperature rise results in a pressure build up in the container. There is a filling port and there is usually considerable wastage in filling the VIE; the delivery hose needs to be cooled to below the critical temperature, using the tanker liquid oxygen itself to cool the delivery pipe. The whole VIE device is mounted on a hinged weighing scale and is situated outside the hospital building, protected by a caged enclosure, which also houses two banks of reserve cylinders.

Urinalysis simply means analysis of urine. It is an easily performed investigation that can detect a wide variety of abnormalities within a few minutes at low cost. Urinalysis is an investigation which all nurses should be competent to perform and is identified by the NMC (2007) as being an example of an essential skill nurse students should be competent to perform before entering their branch programme. Urinalysis may be performed in a wide variety of clinical settings. It should be performed on every patient entering the acute care setting. Additionally, the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD (2009), stresses the need for urinalysis to be performed on all emergency admissions to an acute hospital. It may also be performed in outpatient and general practice clinics, and community areas. To obtain the most accurate information from the test, students need to know how to obtain and assess a sample of urine and be aware of factors that may influence the reliability of the investigation. Urine may be tested in three different ways. ● Macroscopic urinalysis, ● Microscopic urinalysis, ● Chemical analysis. Macroscopic and chemical analysis are the investigations performed in the clinical setting which may be tested by OSCE. Microscopic investigation requires samples to be sent to a laboratory. Macroscopic analysis is the analysis of the urine by the naked eye. Chemical analysis may be performed by use of a plastic diagnostic reagent strip or ‘dipstick’ which contains small pads of chemicals which react to substances that may be found in urine. For purposes of testing urine at random, clients are asked to urinate into a clean but not sterile dry container with no precautions regarding contamination. In females in particular this may result in samples being contaminated by vaginal fluids, such as blood or mucus. Due to the risk of contamination a mid-stream specimen of urine may be required if an abnormality is found in a random sample. A mid-stream specimen requires cleaning of the external urethral meatus prior to urination, passing the first half of the bladder contents into the lavatory, and passing the second part of the urine flow into a sterile container.

In the last decades, multi-agent based modeling and simulation systems have become more increasingly used to model the dynamic and the complex healthcare systems which contain many variabilities and uncertainties such as the hospital emergency departments (ED). Modeling and creating virtual societies almost identical and similar to the reality are considered as the strongest advantages of these agents systems. However, during the dynamic development of the artificial societies, a massive volume of data, which generally contains non-express and shrouded information and even knowledge, is involved. Therefore, dealing with this data, to study and to analyze the unclear relationships and the emerging phenomena, is a well-known weakness and bottleneck that the multi-agent systems is suffering from. In conjunction, data mining techniques are the most powerful tools that can help simulation experts to tackle this issue. This paper presents an ongoing research that combines the multi-agent based modeling and simulation systems and data mining techniques to develop a decision support system to improve the operation of the emergency department.

SIDA (Intelligent Food Distribution System, for its acronym in Spanish) is a proposed tool for the distribution of food that can be personalized depending on the medical characteristics of each patient. The target of the tool is to provide foods that contain higher nutrients in the diet set by a hospital. A model of decision trees was based on data from the organization of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and used for decision making in the simulated three basic foods based on the diet of Latin American countries typically integrated by rice, potatoes, and lentils from the parameters of fat, energy, and protein, respectively, that contains every type of food.

This study has the objective of introducing an innovative way of presenting and representing information concerning patients in Intensive Care Units. Therefore, the Pervasive Patient Timeline, which has the purpose of offering support to intensivists' decision-making process, by providing access to a real-time environment, was developed. The solution is patient-centred as it can be accessed from anywhere, at any time and it contains patients' clinical data since they are admitted to the ICU until their discharge. The environment holds data concerning vital signs, laboratory results, therapeutics, and data mining predictions, which can be analysed to have a better understanding of patients' present and future condition. Due to the nature of the critical care environment, the pervasive aspect is crucial because it allows intensivists make decisions when they have to be made. The Pervasive Patient Timeline is focused on improving the quality of care by helping the intensivists perform better in their daily activity.

The aim of this chapter is to include buildings in studies of context. It foregrounds what is usually considered contextual background—the building—and focuses on the hospital building and the ways in which it matters for the organization and performance of health care. Our approach to the question of context is processual, socio-technical, and inspired by actor-network theory. The actor-network theory lens allows the researcher to consider the building as both background and foreground, as object, context, and process. As an object, and as a matter of fact, the building resides in the background, yet it can always become foregrounded as a matter of concern. This can happens for a multitude of reasons, including that the “object” itself might create unwelcome surprises and obstacles for its human users and, in turn, spur further attempts by specialists in building construction to contain these through mitigating projects and redesign.

In this chapter, the authors present a formal model of the Anesthesia Unit and Surgical Wards (UAPQ) of a Chilean hospital. The objective was to document and to understand its operation, to assist hospital management and to facilitate its simulation. The model was built with Specification and Description Language (SDL). This methodology was used because it allows the design of a model that represents the system in a graphical, modular, and standard way. Our design contains the following agents: the system, 11 blocks, and 52 processes. The blocks and the processes describe the clinical and administrative activities. The environment of the UAPQ model contains 3 components: clinical services, emergency units, and support units.

Purpose: 0.9% sodium chloride IV fluid (normal saline) is critical in a clinical setting and may save lives. Data on thermal stability of normal saline, in out-of-hospital settings, are lacking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of temperature on normal saline stability. Method: Normal saline provided in flexible plastic containers (Qatar Pharma, BA:1929013008, n=96) were stored at constant temperature of 22, 50, or 70°C, and at cyclic temperature of 70°C for 8 hours and 22°C for 16 hours for a period up to 28 days. The containers were sampled at 0, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks in the short- and long-term study, respectively. Fluid inside containers was evaluated for discoloration, turbidity, bulging, and pH. A 1 mL of normal saline was withdrawn from each container and stored at 4°C until analysis. A 20 µL was diluted in 12 mL distilled water to be injected into ion exchange chromatography instrument (Metrohm, 850 Professional IEC) for the measurement of sodium and chloride levels. Results: Discoloration or turbidity of normal saline fluid was not observed at any temperature or exposure period. The container slightly bulged at 50˚C and largely bulged at 70˚C & cyclic. The pH was 5.59±0.08 at 22˚C, 5.73±0.04 at 50˚C, 5.86±0.02 at 70˚C and 5.79±0.03 at cyclic. Remaining sodium and chloride levels ranged from 100.2±0.26% to 111.27±4.22% and from 99.04±0.76 to 110.95±2.62%, respectively. Conclusion: Normal saline containers are stable up to 4 weeks under simulated constant and cyclic high temperatures. Storage in the cabinet of ambulance vehicles during hot summer season in an arid country like Qatar is to be assessed in real-life conditions.

We report on first steps towards a phononic crystal sensor for biomedical applications. Phononic crystals and metamaterials allow for unprecedented control of sound propagation. The classical ultrasonic sensors, acoustic microsensors and MEMS resonator sensors face severe limitations when applying them to small volume liquid analytes. Phononic crystal sensors are a new concept following the route of photonic crystal sensors. Basically, the material of interest, here a liquid analyte confined in a cavity of a phononic crystal having a solid matrix constitutes one component of the phononic crystal. In an application as chemical sensor the value of interest, let’s say the concentration of a toxic compound in liquid, is related to acoustic properties of the liquid in the cavity. A change in the concentration causes measurable changes in the properties of the phononic crystal. Transmission or reflection coefficients are appropriate parameters for measurement. Specifically, a resonance induced well separated transmission peak within the band gap is the most favorable feature. The sensor scheme therefore relies on the determination of the frequency of maximum transmission as measure of concentration. Promising applications like biomedical sensors, point-of-care diagnostics or fast screening introduce further engineering challenges, specifically when considering a disposable element containing the analyte. The three key challenges are the strong restriction coming from limitations to approved materials for the analyte container, geometric dimensions in the mm-range common in hospital or point-of-care environment and acoustic coupling between sensor platform and analyte container.

ABSTRACT Background: Many hospitals are challenged with various problems regarding infrastructure and management in providing services during COVID-19 pandemic. Effective hospital management strategy plays an important role in confronting COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the problems faced by a hospital in the time of COVID-19. Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study conducted at second-line COVID-19 referral hospital, Central Java from May to July 2020. Several health professionals and staff were selected as informants of the study. The data were collected by in-depth interview and document review. The data were analyzed using urgency, seriousness, and growth (USG) method to determine the priority of the problems. Root cause of the problems was analyzed with the aspects of man, method, and material using fishbone diagram. Results: The priority problem in the hospital under study was some of the staff infected with COVID-19. The possible root causes were (1) man: staff behaviors; (2) method: loss to follow-up patients to uptake screening and lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) doffing procedure; and (3) material: lack of disinfectant chambers. Conclusion: Some of the staff infected with COVID-19 is the main problem affecting the hospital under study. Comprehensive and responsiveness of hospital strategic management in line with WHO and CDC guidelines are required to contain the disease transmission.

Texto completoResumen
Poisoning from household substances has been and continues to be a hazard to children under 5 years of age. In an effort to address this problem, the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) of 1970 was enacted as of December 30, 1970. This act is a federally preemptive piece of legislation covering an ever expanding group of substances. The test methods used to establish compliance with the PPPA do not address the range of substances covered (e.g. liquids); the changing patterns of use of household substances such as increased use of liquid medications for children; or repeated access to and multiple reclosures of containers, as seen in the home situation. To examine the effectiveness of the PPPA in addressing actual poisonings in children under 5, national databases from 1980 through March 13, 2002 were examined. Reports mentioning the use of a CRC (child resistant container) were then analyzed. Assisted Access incidents involved an older child gaining access to the contents of a CRC and giving those contents to the younger victim. Transfer of Contents incidents involved ingestion of a substance that was originally packaged in a CRC and was transferred to a non-CRC The average age of children seen in hospitals is under 2, and fatalities due to Assisted Access and Transfer of Contents incidents were seen in children averaging under one year of age. These age ranges are below those of children used in CRC testing (3.5 to 4.25 years). More importantly, the average body weights — directly related to the susceptibility to poisoning injury — of children seen in hospitals is less than the 25 pound weight used to set toxicity thresholds by the PPPA. Training for children, the elderly, and parents would help increase awareness of Transfer of Contents and Assisted Access poisonings, which are disproportionately represented in fatal poisoning incidents of young children.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract The conventional gurneys used in hospitals to move patients from room to room have one main disadvantage: they are difficult to control. A typical gurney has a form of an oblong table moving on four castor wheels. The vehicle is difficult to maneuver, especially on corridor turns, and usually requires two operators — each at one end. Dr. J. Bleicher from the St. Joseph’s Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska suggested a new type of a self-propelled gurney which would be a cross-breed of a motorized wheelchair and a gurney. A new type of a gurney would have two additional wheels in the center of the gurney, each connected to a separate DC motor. The torques developed by the motors would be controlled by one operator using a joystick. Applying opposite torques to the controlled wheels would rotate a stationary gurney in place, or would curve the path of a moving gurney. The position of two additional wheels can be changed, so that the gurney can move sideways, translate in chosen direction or move along a curvelinear path. The work presented in the paper contains an analysis of the dynamics of such a gurney. A mathematical model of the vehicle was developed to check how much effort is needed on the part of the operator in straight path motion and during negotiating a corner. The most difficult part of the modelling was a proper description of forces and torques exerted by the ground on the wheels. The differential equations of motion of the gurney have been numerically integrated, and the dynamical response of the vehicle studied. The results of the computer simulation show a transient oscillatory response of the castor wheels (shimmying) which can be controlled by a proper choice of design parameters of the vehicle.

Texto completoResumen
A novel method of bone fracture fixation has been proposed in which small-diameter bioresorbable nails/pins are inserted across the fracture site using a device similar to that of a pneumatic nail gun [1]. Multiple nails inserted at varying angles can prevent translation and rotation of any bone fragments allowing healing to progress uninhibited. High velocity insertion would reduce surgical time; the nail would create its own entry incision so a drilled pilot hole would be unnecessary. A self-contained nailer, preloaded with sterile nail cartridges, could improve surgical outcomes in non-ideal operating conditions such as those encountered in military field hospitals. The bioresorbable nature of the pins would also mitigate the need for potentially risky removal surgery [1].

The data on the health status of a policyholder represent a significant circumstance for risk assessment and concluding a life insurance contract, and are also legally relevant circumstances for exercising the rights from that contract. The author starts from a theoretical analysis of the perception of data on the health status of policyholders as personal data, comparing the right to confidentiality of such data with the duty to report them (before concluding a life insurance contract) in terms of reporting all circumstances relevant to the insurance risk assessment. In order to properly fulfil the obligation of pre-contractual nature, the paper analyses the legal norms governing this issue and also provides a comparative overview of the Croatian and German insurance legislation with special emphasis on the scope of health data that the insurer is authorised to require, the clarity of legal standards and legal insurance norms contained in the insurance questionnaires and the life insurance offer. Presenting the importance of COVID-19 infection and possible chronic consequences for human health, the author indicates the extent to which COVID-19 infection (mild or severe form of disease, possible need for hospital treatment) will have an impact on the design of new insurance questionnaires and the relevance of genetic testing results in the context of concluding future life insurance contracts.

Texto completoResumen
With the widespread use of intelligent systems, such as smart speakers, addressee recognition has become a concern in human-computer interaction, as more and more people expect such systems to understand complicated social scenes, including those outdoors, in cafeterias, and hospitals. Because previous studies typically focused only on pre-specified tasks with limited conversational situations such as controlling smart homes, we created a mock dataset called Addressee Recognition in Visual Scenes with Utterances (ARVSU) that contains a vast body of image variations in visual scenes with an annotated utterance and a corresponding addressee for each scenario. We also propose a multi-modal deep-learning-based model that takes different human cues, specifically eye gazes and transcripts of an utterance corpus, into account to predict the conversational addressee from a specific speaker's view in various real-life conversational scenarios. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to introduce an end-to-end deep learning model that combines vision and transcripts of utterance for addressee recognition. As a result, our study suggests that future addressee recognition can reach the ability to understand human intention in many social situations previously unexplored, and our modality dataset is a first step in promoting research in this field.
