Forty-one patients stung by wasp and 29 by bee were evaluated by comparing the correlation between skin prick test (SPT), Phadebas radioallergosorbent test (P-RAST) and Magic Lite SQ Specific IgE assay (LIA). All patients had had a systemic reaction to insect sting. In the patients stung by bee we found agreement between SPT and P-RAST, and SPT and LIA. Similarly, there were no significant diff...

Background. Various postoperative pain relief modalities, including continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB), local infiltration analgesia (LIA), and combination therapy, have been reported for total knee arthroplasty. However, no studies have compared CFNB with LIA for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of CFNB versus LIA after THA. Methods. We retrosp...

Integrated, real-time and open approaches relating to the development of industrial analytics capabilities are needed to support smart manufacturing. However, adopting industrial analytics can be challenging due to its multidisciplinary and cross-departmental (e.g. Operation and Information Technology) nature. These challenges stem from the significant effort needed to coordinate and manage tea...

Background—Downloadable software upgrades are common in consumer electronics but not in implantable medical devices. Fractures of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads present commonly as inappropriate shocks. A lead-integrity alert (LIA) designed to reduce inappropriate shocks is the first software download approved to enhance nominally functioning, previously implanted ICDs. Meth...

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in local infiltration analgesia (LIA) as a technique to control postoperative pain. We conducted a systematic review of randomized clinical trials investigating LIA for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of LIA for early postoperative pain treatment. In addition, the analgesic e...

ON OC TOBE R 25, 1945, Pennsylvania governor Edward Martin announced that the state legislature had officially authorized the creation of a state park in the city of Pittsburgh, at the “Point,” the historic confluence of the Ohio, Allegheny, and Monongahela rivers. In less than a month, Pittsburgh’s political and business leadership, led by the city’s banking tycoon and civic luminary Richard K...
