This paper presents a new technology and a systematic approach for disaster response and recovery of Critical Physical Infrastructures (CPIs). Our suggested approach is based on using a Mobile Workstation Chariot (MWC) assembled on Segway personal transporter which supports both horizontal and vertical real-time visual data capture and transmission flow, first responders and civil engineers can...

Due to outdated weighting information, a Laspeyres‐based consumer price index (CPI) is prone accumulating upward bias. Therefore, the present study introduces and examines simple transparent revision approaches that retrospectively address source of They provide consistent long‐run time series CPI require no additional information. Furthermore, coherent decomposition bias into contributions ind...

background: oral care plays an inevitable role in health and well-being of patients in intensive care units (icus). poor oral care causes colonization of respiratory pathogens and secondary respiratory infections. ventilator-associated pneumonia occurs in patients on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. it results in prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, mortality and health e...

Objective To present on treatable conditions arising with exposure to checkpoint inhibiting immunotherapy for malignancy. Each case was diagnostically obscured by presumed immunotoxicity. Background Neurological immune-related adverse events (n-irAEs) are rising in incidence adoption of inhibitors (CPIs) many cancers. 1-3% patients treated CPIs experience severe n-irAEs potential persistent fun...

Human soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (sTREM-1) is a glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily. In normal lung tissue, sTREM-1 is selectively expressed in lung alveolar macrophages specialized for pathogen clearance and is up-regulated in the presence of bacteria and fungi. The aim of this study was to assess sTREM-1 levels in serum and lungs of patients with ventila...

BACKGROUND Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common nosocomial infection, which results in longer hospitalization, increased treatment costs, and higher mortality rates. One major cause of VAP is colonization and microaspiration of oropharyngeal secretions following the formation of dental plaque, which is due to poor oral hygiene and failure to mechanically remove these microorganisms...
