colon polyps are less than 1 cm in size. However, en-doscopists often encounter large sessile colon polyps greater than 2 cm in practice. Removal of a large sessile colon polyp is difficult due to a high rate of procedure-related complications , such as bleeding and perforation. Therefore, patients with large sessile colon polyps are referred to a tertiary hospital for appropriate treatment. Th...

In many developing countries, electronic medical record (EMR) systems are being implemented in resource-poor settings. Essential to such implementations are software developers with a high technical capacity, a good understanding of medical informatics and an awareness of local clinical needs. This paper describes a training program which has been run in Rwanda to enable local computer science ...

BACKGROUND Electronic medical record (EMR) systems are increasingly being implemented in hospitals of developing countries to improve patient care and clinical service. However, only limited evaluation studies are available concerning the level of adoption and determinant factors of success in those settings. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the usage pattern, user satisfac...

Background: Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is responsible for many hazardous impacts on living organisms. We aimed to investigate the effects of EMR on kidney tissue in rats in order to predict possible effects on human kidneys and to study the radioprotective effect of ferulic acid (FA). Materials and Methods: Six rats were used as controls, six rats were used as treated group with FA, six ra...
