Abstract Technological developments have always led to changes in all aspects of our lives. Crypto currency is one those changes. As a result changes, thousands currencies such as bitcoin, ripple, litecoin and ethereum evolved found use business. The present study focuses upon Ripple tries explain its effects on banks business theoretically. It has been stated that the money transfer performed ...

Since the 1970s, when the world seemed on the threshold of malaria eradication, the incidence of the disease has increased in several countries. The upturn in cases raised a series of questions, and for some time malariologists and public health authorities scarcely understood what was happening. In an attempt to better comprehend the process, this article reviews the frequency of malaria cases...

The purpose was to describe characteristics of formation and qualification of the nurses of a unit of intensive cares, and to argue its implications in the nursing assistance, how much to the use of technologies. Descriptive-exploratory study, with accomplishment of half-structuralized interview. Citizens: twenty and four operating nurses in cardio-intensive unit. Predominance of women with two...

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasingly used to treat coronary heart disease. Despite major technologic advances, however, not even drug-eluting stents confer long-term immunity from cardiac events, as disease progression causes significant morbidity after PCI. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) accurately detects ischemia and stratifies risk when performed 2 months or more aft...

Advances in technology allow survival to hospital discharge of patients who in the past would have died or been institutionalized indefinitely. The end result of technologic adaptations to the care of infants and children is an expanding population of technology-dependent pediatric patients. In turn, the primary care and coordination of subspecialty intervention for these children is largely th...

Correspondence is also little doubt that technologic and human capabilities will continue to improve and that improvements in patients’ outcomes will follow. The point of our editorial was not to argue against research and innovation, quite to the contrary. Our view is simply that the lessons of the worldwide 2009 infl uenza A(H1N1) epidemic do not support a costly, nationwide investment in new...

Introduction A potential new arena that could lead to major advances in implementation science involves the integration of computational and technologic approaches with behavioral and organizational sciences. While some attention has been given to the use of systems science methods, specifically agent-based modeling, social network analysis, and system dynamics, there is actually a much broader...

The current epidemic of inactivity and the associated epidemic of obesity are being driven by multiple factors (societal, technologic, industrial, commercial, financial) and must be addressed likewise on several fronts. Foremost among these are the expansion of school physical education, dissuading children from pursuing sedentary activities, providing suitable role models for physical activity...

Sixty-three of 89 identified intensive care units in Colombia (Evaluation of Intensive Care in Colombia) participated in this voluntary study. A convenience sample of 20 intensive care units, each submitting 200 patients or more, was chosen, from which the following information is presented. The Intensive Care National Audit and Research Center (UK) protocol was used to evaluate patient severit...
