Reliability issues in human brain temperature measurement
INTRODUCTION The influence of brain temperature on clinical outcome after severe brain trauma is currently poorly understood. When brain temperature is measured directly, different values between the inside and outside of the head can occur. It is not yet clear if these differences are 'real' or due to measurement error. METHODS The aim of this study was to assess the performance and measurem...
متن کاملPractical issues in implementing software reliability measurement
• More accurately focus scarce fault identification resources on those portions of a software system most in need of it. • Estimate and forecast the risk of exposure to residual faults in a software system during operation, and develop risk and safety criteria to guide the release of a software system to fielded use. • Estimate the efficiency of test suites in detecting residual faults. • Estim...
متن کاملTechnical note: measurement issues in taxonomic reliability
Work in safety management often involves classification of events using coding schemes or taxonomies . Such schemes contain separate categories, and users have to reliably choose which codes apply to the events in question. The usefulness of any system is limited by the reliability with which it can be employed, that is the consensus that can be reached on application of codes. This technical n...
متن کاملMeasurement of human brain temperature changes during cooling
Introduction Therapeutic brain hypothermia is used with increasing frequency as a tool to mitigate neurologic injury [1]. It has been shown that moderate cooling of the brain after hypoxia-ischemia can reduce damage and improve functional outcome [2, 3]. Recently a new method for selective brain cooling was described and prototype device was tested on the pigs [4, 5]. Brain temperature decreasi...
متن کاملAdvice on total-score reliability issues in psychosomatic measurement.
OBJECTIVE This article addresses three reliability issues that are problematic in the construction of scales intended for use in psychosomatic research, illustrates how these problems may lead to errors, and suggests solutions. METHODS We used psychometric results and present five computational studies. The first, third, and fourth studies are based on the generation of artificial data from p...
