Background The prehospital phase is critical in ensuring that stroke treatment delivered quickly and a major source of time delay. This study sought to identify examine workflow optimizations (PSWOs) their impact on improving health systems, reperfusion rates, delays, clinical outcomes. Methods authors conducted systematic literature review meta-analysis by extracting data from several research...

Background & Aims of the Study: Needle stick injuries (NSIs) are one of the most causes that expose health care workers (HCWs) to blood infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, C and HIV. HCWs can reduce the rate of NSIs by performing protective procedures. This study was conducted to evaluate the needle stick exposure among health care workers in Razi hospital, Ahvaz, in 2015....

fine needle aspiration (fna) technique is a well-known procedure in the diagnosis of various organ diseases. this study was conducted to evaluate the utility of fna in the dianosis of neck masses. fine needle aspiration was performed upon 123 patients with palpable nonthyroidal lesions at neck during a five-year period. in ten cases, fna findings were nondiagnostic. from the reminder 113 patien...

This paper addresses the problem of merg­ ing uncertain information in the framework of possibilistic logic. It presents several syn­ tactic combination rules to merge possibilis­ tic knowledge bases, provided by different sources, into a new possibilistic knowledge base. These combination rules are first de­ scribed at the meta-level outside the lan­ guage of possibilistic logic. Next, an exte...

A large number of computational language learners have been proposed for modelling the process of child language acquisition. Com­ paring them, however, can be difficult due to the different assumptions that they make, the diverse test results presented, and the different linguistic behaviours investigated. This paper introduces a toolkit that allows different lan­ gua...

Overview: An immersive language learning environment undertakes to engage the student in a two-medium communication process: a conver­ sation supplemented by graphical interaction in an ordinary scene on the computer screen. The fundamental rationale for such a system is that it promotes language learning by enabling the student to we the new lan­ guage, not analyse or translate it. In this pap...

Background: Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is usually used to distinguish the malignant and benign nodules. Applying a biopsy needle evokes a sense of fear and pain in the patients. Although some studies refute the usefulness of local anesthesia (LA) prior to fine needle aspiration biopsy, it is still debatable. This prospective cross-sectional study intended to evaluate the effect of LA ...

Sintered cold compacted hexaferrite magnets with appreciable magnetic properties and crystallite alignment were made from non-magnetic precursors without applying an external field. This work presents a novel approach employing non-ferromagnetic interacting comprising of platelet shaped six-line ferrihydrite needle goethite nanoparticles. A hydrothermal synthesis route was employed to produce ~...

ABSTRACT Appropriate post-operative (post-op) pain control has been shown to reduce length of stay and facilitate day case surgery. Periacetabular injection bupivacaine is effective in reduction after hip arthroscopy. This study aims evaluate the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) as an anatomical landmark needle insertion prior fluoroscopy. The meeting point derived from a vertical line one ...
