INTRODUCTION In patients with permanent pacemakers, mode switching events often are interpreted as surrogate markers for atrial tachyarrhythmias. The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of automatic mode switching algorithms in patients with permanent pacemakers for the diagnosis of atrial tachyarrhythmias. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty patients with tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome a...

CONTEXT The effectiveness of the long-term monitoring of errors detected by frozen section-permanent section correlation is unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine factors important in laboratory improvement in frozen section-permanent section discordant and deferral rates by participation in a multi-institutional continuous quality improvement program. DESIGN Participants in the College of America...

OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility of the combined use of laryngeal nerve monitoring and minimally invasive thyroid surgery. DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized analysis of single-surgeon experience. SETTING Academic institution. PATIENTS Consecutive series of patients undergoing both minimally invasive thyroid surgery and laryngeal nerve monitoring. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Incision len...

The proposed project solves possibility of using virtual sensor while monitoring psychomotor retarded patients without a permanent supervision of caregivers. The patient is secured by alarm at various health hazards such as epileptic seizures or apnea. The result of the work should be commercially viable algorithm for smart monitoring system of handicapped child or adult, especially with the di...

We study the long-run sustainability of reputations in games with imperfect public monitoring. It is impossible to maintain a permanent reputation for playing a strategy that does not eventually play an equilibrium of the game without uncertainty about types. Thus, a player cannot indefinitely sustain a reputation for non-credible behavior in the presence of imperfect monitoring. Journal of Eco...

The purpose of this project is to remote monitoring and control of the Domestic Energy meter. This system enables the Electricity Department to read the meter readings regularly without the person visiting each house. This can be achieved by the use of microcontroller unit that continuously monitors and records the Energy Meter readings in its permanent (non-volatile) memory location. This syst...
