EDSs are an important part of patient care and medical communication. The GWH has a financially motivated target stating that 95% of EDS are to be completed within 24 hours of patient discharge. On review of a six-week pre-intervention period, the medical ward mean weekly EDS completion rate within 24 hours was 74.3%. EDSs form a significant part of junior doctor workload. We found that on a me...

In this study, a new mild steel surface pretreatment solution is introduced based on phosphoric acid containing a benzimidazole derivative as inhibitor. In this way, three different benzimidazole derivatives namely benzimidazole BI, 2-methyl benzimidazole 2MBI and 2-aminobenzimidazole 2ABI were studied in the 1M H3PO4 using DC and AC electrochemical techniques. Results revealed the better corro...

Background: The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) represents a heterogenous group of heritable connective tissue disorders chiefly characterized by joint laxity, increased skin distensibility and connective tissue fragility. Each EDS type corresponds to a multisystemic disorder with widespread implications. Physicians evoke the EDS diagnosis in presence of some typical cutaneous signs, such as atrop...

The skin is easily injured and wound healing is delayed. The majority of EDS patients belong to EDS-types I-III. The pathogenesis in these cases is not known, although recent data suggest a role...

PURPOSE Poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) are common complaints of patients with epilepsy (PWE).
