This paper discusses the design and prototypical implementation of a mobile user-interface to assist paramedics in disaster operations based on the mSTaRT triage algorithm. Due to the increasing use of algorithms in the disaster management the introduction of mobile hand-held computers stands to reason. The triage algorithm has been implemented on hand-held computers and tested in a disaster co...

Software reuse is essential in improving efficiency and productivity in the software development process. This paper analyses reuse within requirements engineering phase by taking and adapting a standard functional size measurement method, COSMIC FFP. Our proposal attempts to quantify reusability from Object Oriented requirements specifications by identifying potential primitives with a high le...

Clinical monitoring of shock mainly depends on blood-oxygen-indices obtained from invasive blood sample tests. The central internal jugular central vein oxygenation level (ScvO2) has been considered as a gold standard indicator for shock prediction. We developed a noninvasive spatially-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy (SR-NIRS) to measure tissue blood oxygen saturation (StO2) surrounding the...

An analysis was undertaken of clinic-based questionnaires that asked people with Parkinson's disease and a control group of older people without a known neurological condition about their experiences of constipation. People with Parkinson's disease report higher constipation on a validated objective measure, the Rome criterion (59% vs. 20.9%); a behavioral indicator, laxative-taking (38.4% vs. ...
