in this paper, it is proved that all simple $k_4$-groups of type $l_2(q)$ can be characterized by their maximum element orders together with their orders. furthermore, the automorphism groups of simple $k_4$-groups of type $l_2(q)$ are also considered.

Background: One way to reduce medical errors associated with physician orders is computerized physician order entry (CPOE) software. This study was conducted to compare prescription orders between 2 groups before and after CPOE implementation in a hospital. Methods: We conducted a before-after prospective study in 2 intensive care unit (ICU) wards (as intervention and control wards) in the larg...

The end users of medical digital libraries need quick access to information that is specific to the patients under their care. We present a summarization system that finds and extracts results from multiple medical journal articles returned by a search, filters results that match the patient and merges and orders the remaining facts for the summary. Our approach features an integration of text ...

AIM This study aimed to determine the frequency and determinant factors of do not resuscitate (DNR) orders in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at a university hospital in China. METHODS Data collected from June 2010 to December 2012 for patients with ICH were retrospectively reviewed. The characteristics and care of patients with and without DNR orders and those with early (≤24 h)...

As the Providence Health System is phasing in its Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) system at the Providence Portland Medical Center, we conducted a study to demonstrate the effects of CPOE on medication turn-around time. Retrospectively, we tracked and compared medication orders that were placed via the existing paper-based system and the CPOE system. The results of this study coincide ...

As more Americans have become aware of end-of-life planning, health care professionals are faced with more "Do Not Resuscitate" orders. A patient with a terminal condition who has signed such an order may enter the operating room for a surgical procedure; few hospitals have developed protocols to assist the medical staff. In most hospitals, it is unclear whether the medical staff should honor t...

Developing methods to identify unusual clinical actions may be useful in the development of automated clinical alerting systems. We developed and evaluated a data-driven approach for identifying clinical actions such as omissions of medication orders or laboratory orders in the intensive care unit (ICU) that are unusual with respect to past patient care. We generated 250 medication-omission ale...

Converting to an electronic medical record (EMR) has been the health care system's collective goal for decades. Hundreds of EMRs have been developed during the last 30 years, but the likelihood of a patient having a largely electronic medical record in the near future remains slim. Adoption has been slow, and the physician time required to enter data is still daunting. And related technologies,...

Background: The routine use of preoperative appropriate paraclinic testing is useful in patients scheduled to undergo elective surgery. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of unnecessary preoperative evaluation performed for patients undergoing elective surgeries.Methods: This descriptive analytic study was performed to assess the patterns of preoperative evaluation tests on ...
