Implementation of Pay for Performance Policy in England To the Editor: Our recent article1 and editorial2 address changes in hypertension awareness, treatment, and control in England. In the editorial,2 Drs Mohan and Campbell reported that the annual changes in rates of awareness, treatment, and control appear to be slightly lower after implementation of “pay for performance” (PFP) compared wit...

the purpose of this study was to examine the relation between daily steps and aerobic steps, and anthropometric variables, using the waist-to-hip ratio (whr) and waist-to-height ratio (whtr).the participants in this cross-sectional study were taken the measurements of by a trained anthropologist and then instructed to wear an omron pedometer for seven consecutive days. a series of statistical t...

We tested the validity and reliability of the BioSpace InBody 320, Omron and Bod-eComm body composition devices in men and women (n 254; 21-80 years) and boys and girls (n 117; 10-17 years). We analysed percentage body fat (%BF) and compared the results with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in adults and compared the results of the InBody with underwater weighing (UW) in children. All bo...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUnD: To determine whether the professional Omron HBP-1300 blood pressure (BP) monitor meets American Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) accuracy standards in Chinese children and adults. METHOD According to the AAMI protocol, simultaneous auscultatory measurements by two observers using a mercury manometer were obtained in participants using th...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability evidences of the Omron BI pedometer, which could count steps taken even when worn at different locations on the body. METHODS Forty (20 males and 20 females) adults were recruited to walk wearing 5 sets, 1 set at a time, of 10 BI pedometers during testing, 1 each at 10 different locations. For comparison, the...

BACKGROUND Allowing patients to measure their blood pressure at home is recognized as being of clinical value. However, it is not known how often these measurements are taken correctly. Blood pressure monitors for home use fall into two types based on the position of the cuff, ie, at the upper arm or the wrist. The latter is particularly convenient, as measurements can be taken fully clothed. T...

OBJECTIVE - The aim of our study was to assess the profile of a wrist monitor, the Omron Model HEM-608, compared with the indirect method for blood pressure measurement. METHODS - Our study population consisted of 100 subjects, 29 being normotensive and 71 being hypertensive. Participants had their blood pressure checked 8 times with alternate techniques, 4 by the indirect method and 4 with the...

Kemajuan IPTEK mengarahkan ke era otomatisasi industry seperti sistem kontrol dalam yang tidak lagi mengandalkan metode konvensional, tetapi beralih penggunaan PLC. PLC juga merupakan sebuah komputer khusus digunakan mengendalikan dan pengoperasian proses. Hal ini membuat proses produksi menjadi lebih sederhana efisien. hampir disetiap aspek industri untuk memperluas mengembangkan produksi. Med...

Almost all factories now use automated system, where the factory using a control system that can do work itself and operator are not too play an active role. With runs automatically is expected to yield production will increase with quality of product generated same no difference. Common used by company in form PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The uses two OMRON CP1H as drivers integrated C...
