OBJECTIVES All patients discharged from the emergency department (ED) should be given discharge instructions (DIs). This study aimed to describe the DI practices of EDs in Australasia and to examine the differences between public and private EDs. METHODS A voluntary, questionnaire-based survey of public and private EDs throughout Australia and New Zealand. RESULTS 58 of 74 (78.4%) EDs provi...

Ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) are a group of human pathological conditions characterized by anomalies in organs derived from epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development. Dlx3 and p63 act as part of the transcriptional regulatory pathways relevant in ectoderm derivatives, and autosomal mutations in either of these genes are associated with human EDs. However, the functional relationship...

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) plays a key role in promoting tumor malignant progression. Suppression hyperactivated STAT3 signaling has emerged as potential therapeutic strategy for many cancer types. In this study, the effect 6-ethoxydihydrosanguinarine (6-EDS), secondary transformation product formed from dihydrosanguinarine, isolated Macleaya (Papaveraceae), was ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE We determine the number and location of freestanding emergency departments (EDs) across the United States and determine the population characteristics of areas where freestanding EDs are located. METHODS We conducted a systematic inventory of US freestanding EDs. For the 3 states with the highest number of freestanding EDs, we linked demographic, insurance, and health services...

the cold roll bonding of al on aisi 304l stainless steel was carried out to fabricate the al/304l/al clad sheet composites. the maximum bond strength of 20 n/mm was acquired just by 38% reduction, for which the tearing of the aluminum sheet occurred during the peeling test. the microstructural evolution during subsequent postannealing heat treatment was systematically studied based on the impur...

BACKGROUND Working in Emergency Departments (EDs) entails high work pressure and stress due to witnessing human suffering and the unpredictable nature of the work. This environment puts personnel at risk of burnout. This analysis aims to assess burnout levels and associated risk factors among health workers in EDs in Palestinian hospitals. Also, it examines the association between burnout and w...

The Ehlers Danlos syndromes (EDS) comprise a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by tissue fragility of the skin, ligaments, blood vessels and internal organs. Variable degrees of clinical severity and organ involvement are due to the molecular and biochemical heterogeneity of this group of disorders and have led to classification into well-characterized subtypes that are extendi...

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) was performed on a 1010 Aluminum alloy. To achieve thenanocomposite structure, Si3N4 nanoparticles were added into the electrolyte. In an alkaline aqueoussuspension (silicate-based), the effect of adding NiSO4 on the applied voltage, microstructure,composition, wear, and corrosion resistance of PEO coatings was investigated using ScanningElectron Microscopy (...

EDSs are an important part of patient care and medical communication. The GWH has a financially motivated target stating that 95% of EDS are to be completed within 24 hours of patient discharge. On review of a six-week pre-intervention period, the medical ward mean weekly EDS completion rate within 24 hours was 74.3%. EDSs form a significant part of junior doctor workload. We found that on a me...

The paper overviews the vandalism detection task of the PAN’11 competition. A new corpus is introduced which comprises about 30 000 Wikipedia edits in the languages English, German and Spanish as well as the necessary crowdsourced annotations. Moreover, the performance of three vandalism detectors is evaluated and compared to those of the PAN’10 competition. Vivien Petras and Paul Clough (Eds.)...
