New push: OSA screen at Medicare intro

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carriage at ICU admission: to screen (rapidly) or not to screen?

The study by Wassenberg and colleagues shows that rapid diagnostic testing, although not cost-saving, reduces the number of unnecessary isolation days at ICU admission.

Visual Screen: Transforming an Ordinary Screen into a Touch Screen

Touch screens are very convenient because one can directly point to where it is interesting. This paper presents an inexpensive technique to transform an ordinary screen into a touch screen using an ordinary camera. The setup is easy: position a camera so it can see the whole screen. The system calibration involves the detection of the screen region in the image. which determines the projective...
