CPT update for 2011: immunizations, observations and more.

A microcosm of the health care 'system'.

One way to help a lay person understand the mess we’re in is to start by handing him or her this issue of Family Practice Management and pointing to “CPT Update for 2011: Immunizations, Observations and More,” on page 5. The article, by Cindy Hughes, CPC, is not an indictment of the system; rather, it’s just a concise and cogent explanation of some changes in CPT for the coming year. But imagin...

Optimized computational Afin image algorithm using combination of update coefficients and wavelet packet conversion

Updating Optimal Coefficients and Selected Observations Affine Projection is an effective way to reduce the computational and power consumption of this algorithm in the application of adaptive filters. On the other hand, the calculation of this algorithm can be reduced by using subbands and applying the concept of filtering the Set-Membership in each subband. Considering these concepts, the fir...

Clinical Decision Support for Immunizations (CDSi): A Comprehensive, Collaborative Strategy

This article focuses on the requirements and current developments in clinical decision support technologies for immunizations (CDSi) in both the public health and clinical communities, with an emphasis on shareable solutions. The requirements of the Electronic Health Record Incentive Programs have raised some unique challenges for the clinical community, including vocabulary mapping, update of ...

Kaon physics at KLOE and KLOE-2 prospects

The KLOE experiment has measured most of the decay branching fractions (BR) of KS, KL and K mesons, providing precision results on the CKM parameter Vus, and the most sensitive unitarity test of the quark flavor mixing matrix. We are presently finalizing i) the analysis of the BR(K π π π ) that completes the measurements of the kaon dominant BR’s, and ii) the update of the upper limit on the BR...
