Early repolarisation is a common electrocardiographic (ECG) finding characterised by J-point and ST segment elevation ≥ 0.1 mV in two or more adjacent leads. The ECG pattern of early repolarisation is relatively common in asymptomatic subjects. Early repolarisation pattern may be seen in secondary conditions such as hypothermia, autonomic nervous system disturbances, cocaine abuse, hypercalcaem...

Constipation is often an overlooked aspect of patient care and increases the risk of postoperative complications, can prolong hospital stay, increase financial cost and add to staff nursing care time. A prospective descriptive design was used. One hundred six patients with hip fracture participated. On admission, day of discharge and 30 days after surgery, patients' normal and actual defecation...

A 28-year-old Filipino gentleman mechanical engineer without any medical problem admitted to our hospital on 16th of February 2016 with complains of numbness and weakness in lower limbs when he woke up for urination at around 3:00 am on the day of admission which started distally symmetrically and progressed proximally and gradually involved the upper limbs in the same pattern, the proximal mus...

This paper presents a heuristic approach to the problem of call admission control. The algorithm is based on traffic measurements and does not guarantee bounded delays or cell losses. It features very low cell delay variation tolerance for CBR traffic and is aware of negotiated, but unused, bandwidth from users. The algorithm does not assume any traffic models for the calls, so composed traffic...

Wellens' syndrome is a pattern of electrocardiographic T-wave changes associated with critical, proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery stenosis. We herein report 2 cases of Wellens' syndrome with segmental wall-motion abnormalities The first case is a 50-year-old man admitted to the emergency department with typical chest pain. Admission ECG showed biphasic T waves in leads V1-V3 with i...

In this paper, the switched beam antenna array is analyzed and its model in the system level is presented firstly. Based on the combination of multi-user detection (MUD) and the switched beam antenna (SBA) techniques in the time division duplexing-code division multiplex access (TDD-CDMA) system, the uplink load is investigated and the corresponding advanced uplink admission control scheme base...

A 5-month-old child, previously healthy, was hospitalized with frequent episodes of tonic seizures. The seizures were controlled with antiepileptic medication. However, the parents did not continue medications after discharge from the hospital. The child was admitted several times with breakthrough seizures. Over time the seizures became refractory to treatment. Neurometabolic work up and imagi...

In this paper we introduce our concept of the requirements of an e cient admission control algorithm and propose new algorithms. Our methods need only aggregate tra c measurements and simple FIFO scheduling. We take minimal assumptions on the pattern of the tra c. Our framework de nes a family of measurement based admission control algorithms of which we discuss three key members. We give e ect...
