CERTAIN technical procedures, such as venepuncture, endotracheal intubation and artificial respiration are performed routinely by the anasthetist. Additionally, he should be in the habit of making rapid assessment of the severely ill patient and instituting supportive therapy, particularly where there may be cardio-vascular or respiratory failure. As a natural consequence anisthetists are no lo...

We survey the observations of Titan that can be made using equipment available to amateur astronomers. Off-the-shelf hardware includes spectrometers and photometers that can detect Titan’s infrared light curve and potentially its clouds. CCD spectra and photometry (both photoelectric and CCD), even with small (20cm) telescopes, are useful for monitoring seasonal changes in Titan’s haze. Recent ...

BACKGROUND Orthopaedists make great use of eponymous equipment, however the origins of these tools are unknown to many users. This history enriches, enlightens, and enhances surgical education, and may inspire modern innovation. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We explored the origins of common and eponymous orthopaedic equipment. METHODS We selected pieces of equipment named for their inventors and in t...

BACKGROUND Previous research has identified inaccessible medical equipment as a barrier to health care services encountered by people with disabilities. However, no research has been conducted to understand why medical practices lack accessible equipment. OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to examine practice administrators' knowledge of accessible medical equipment and cost ...

abstract background and objective: having knowledge about potential risks and the usage of safety equipment in laboratories can decrease the risk of occupational exposure. the aim of this study was to evaluate the predisposing factors for occupational exposure and to assess the usage of safety equipment among personnel of medical diagnostic laboratories in birjand. material and methods: in this...

development of monitoring systems to fault detection, in offensive and defensive systems, uav, aircraft and other complex systems technically make it possible and favorable, predictive diagnosis of faults. health management model and predict equipment failures (phm) were created in recent years by formation a strong bond of science in engineering, computer and reliability. for this reason, more...
