an electrocardiogram (ecg) leads physicians to diagnose many potentially life-threatening cardiac, metabolic, electrolyte, and toxicological conditions. this study was designed to evaluate the competency of emergency medicine residents (emrs) in comparison with cardiologists in the interpretation of ecg when an interpretation checklist is used. this clinical trial was done in the emergency ward...

background: with regard to accelerated progresses in the world of science and technology, as well as changes in the needs of the society, medical education should be a developing process. one of the main factors that can promote education from a static to a dynamic and effective state is evaluation. purpose: the purpose of the present survey is to determine the rate of success of medical studen...

was attempting to diminish barriers by encouraging patients to visit the town, and townspeople to visit the hospital. (The admission and discharge rate from and to the town, though small, was valuable in this respect.) It seemed too discouraging to ask any person or small group to visit and help 850 hospital patients, but we were thinking of our patients in the institutional mass. By breaking i...

Methods In our center, deaths are systematically reported to the « Quality & Patient Safety Department » via a questionnaire inquiring into the causes, circumstances and characteristics of death. Medical records of «unexpected » deaths (UD) (= “death that was not expected to occur at that time or/and under these circumstances”) were reviewed, after exclusion of patients with DNR orders. We anal...

Using the ‘Riemann Problem with zeros’ method, Ward has constructed exact solutions to a (2 + 1)–dimensional integrable Chiral Model, which exhibit solitons with nontrivial scattering. We give a correspondence between what we conjecture to be all pure soliton solutions and certain holomorphic vector bundles on a compact surface.

This paper explores the ways in which ward rounds can be conducted to maximize educational opportunities, as part of a project to improve the effectiveness of on-the-job training (OJT) for hospital doctors. Ninety ward rounds taken by 24 trainers in the Anglia region were observed. Each observation produced a note of the ward round's structure and routines and of the contributions made to it by...

We study the question of the Ward identity for “large” gauge invariance in 0+1 dimensional theories. We derive the relevant Ward identities for a single flavor fermion and a single flavor complex scalar field interacting with an Abelian gauge field. These identities are nonlinear. The Ward identity for any other complicated theory can be derived from these basic sets of identities. However, the...

Hospitalised patients' needs are complex and the ward environment is demanding of time and resources that must be optimised. Clinical ward rounds in hospitalised patients are fundamental to patient care. Ward rounds in recent years have undergone changes which have contributed to reduced professionalism and opportunities to learn as well as increased distrust of patients of the care they receiv...
