OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the prevalence and types of medication errors (MEs), as well as barriers to reporting MEs, among nurses working in 7 teaching hospitals affiliated with Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2016. METHODS A convenience sampling method was used to select the study participants (n=500 nurses). A self-constructed questionnaire was employed to collect ...

We examined the effect of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) on weight loss, inflammatory markers, and components of the Metabolic Syndrome (MeS) in morbidly obese adolescents and determined if those with MeS lose less weight post-LAGB than those without. Data from 14-18 yr adolescents were obtained at baseline, 6 and 12 months following LAGB. Significant weight loss and improvement...

Manufacturing execution system (MES) is a bridge that connects the top layer of planning and the bottom layer of control. In integrated automation system (IAS) whose structure is 3-layer BPS/MES/PCS, MES is the key circle to realize the integrating of integrated automation system in iron & steel enterprise. According to the characteristics of production management in iron & steel enterprise, th...

Matrix effects (MEs) continue to be an obstacle in the development of the LC-MS/MS method, with phospholipids being the major cause of MEs. Changing the mobile phase has been a common strategy to reduce MEs; however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. "In-source multiple-reaction monitoring" (IS-MRM) for glycerophosphocholines (PCs) has been commonly applied in many bioanalytical methods. "Vi...

This paper presents a view on MES and ERP functional areas in a hierarchy of enterprise information and control systems. It starts with a background on ERP and MES Evolution. The work is based on the exploration of MES and ERP functionalities development. Consecutively, aspects of ERP and MES integration are treated. In the final section an impact of RFID technology on a validity data stored in...

Tumor heterogeneity of high-grade glioma (HGG) is recognized by four clinically relevant subtypes based on core gene signatures. However, molecular signaling in glioma stem cells (GSCs) in individual HGG subtypes is poorly characterized. Here we identified and characterized two mutually exclusive GSC subtypes with distinct dysregulated signaling pathways. Analysis of mRNA profiles distinguished...

Manufacturing Execution System (MES) has been evolved as an effective solution for today’s high performance, mass production industrial automation system. MES acts like a bridge between managerial level ERP solution and shop floor level control systems hardwares. MES solutions are highly flexible which are developed and customized targeting some particular industry. In this paper we plan to des...

Mutations in mes-2, mes-3, mes-4, and mes-6 result in maternal-effect sterility: hermaphrodite offspring of mes/mes mothers are sterile because of underproliferation and death of the germ cells, as well as an absence of gametes. Mutant germ cells do not undergo programmed cell death, but instead undergo a necrotic-type death, and their general poor health apparently prevents surviving germ cell...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The clinical significance of microembolic signals (MES) in the posterior circulation remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the sources and consequences of MES in acute posterior circulation cerebral ischemia. METHODS We evaluated a total of 140 consecutive patients (93 males, mean age 62.9 years) who had acute posterior circulation cerebral ischemia....
