Background: To make the best use of written information in education pamphlets, suitability criteria developed for instructional materials. Moreover, client satisfaction with the quality of written materials provided in hospitals for patients needs to be taken into account. Aim: Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the suitability of patient education pamphlets and patient satisfaction...

In 2005, a major Level I trauma center closed in Los Angeles County, leading to media speculation that the sudden expansion of our catchment area would adversely affect outcome. We sought to determine whether the closure led to longer transport times and increased trauma morbidity and mortality at our Level I trauma center. Annual patient volume, paramedic transport times, injury severity score...

In this paper, longshore sediment transport in littoral zones is investigated. For investigation of sediment transport in the nearshore zone, the effects of waves, currents and topographical conditions of coast are considered. Linear wave theory was used for the investigation of the wave behaviour. Governing equations of littoral current are continuity and momentum ones. For calculating concent...

Transport of critically ill children is associated with increased risk morbidity and mortality in developing countries due to the lack adequate resources skilled personnel. sick child remains a major challenge Nepal as well. The main objective this article describe importance safe transport, be resource guide for health care personnel during inter-facility transport Nepal. This guideline based ...

there are several problems associated with the use of indwelling urethra catheters, including urinary tract infections and mechanical problems. infections have been well researched but mechanical problems associated with blockage, leakage of urine and general discomfort have been less investigated. although education of patients and carers on the use of catheters has been recommended, in practi...

trauma is a leading cause of death and disability especially amongst young people. road traffic crash–related death, injury, and chronic disability continue to be a major worldwide burden to drivers, pedestrians and users of mass transit, especially in low- and middle-income countries(lmic). projections predict worsening of this burden, and while motorization of lmic increases exponentially, a ...

conclusions the results of the present study revealed that patients are not highly satisfied with the communication skills of physicians and they were least satisfied only with the quality of examination processes by the physicians. in addition, patients with lower education showed lower satisfaction as well. thus, a higher quality and elaboration of examination, more patience and better commun...

background nowadays, the patients’ satisfaction is used as a criterion to measure the hospitals’ service quality. however, there are controversial results about the aspect of caring behaviors which mostly affects the patients’ satisfaction. objectives the current study aimed to assess the relationship between caring behaviors and patients’ satisfaction. patients and methods a descriptive correl...

After UV-irradiation of a TiO(2) shell on Pt anode was cut off, anodic current was observed continuously for some time because long-lived MV(+)* produced from MV(2+) embedded inside the shell, as a result of the electron transfer from the conduction band of the irradiated TiO(2) shell, diffused slowly and discharged to the shell thus realizing electron accumulation inside the TiO(2) shell.

Regional modeling of subsurface cadmium and zinc transport in a diffusely polluted area in the south of the Netherlands is the subject of this study. The atmospheric deposition of cadmium and zinc was caused by three zinc-ore smelters (point sources of emission). Agriculture and other sources of heavy metals are small compared to the atmospheric deposition in the vicinity of the smelters. A cou...
