background and objective: improved and modified automation will require the development of smart process control systems that provide on-line decisions to release patients’ test results based on high analytical quality assurance formula. materials and methods: we collected patients’ test results from 10840 healthy subjects based on 1.96z as truncation limit for 29 common haematochemical analyte...

Present study describes the length-weight (LWR) and length-length (LLR) relationships of a freshwater catfish Eutropiichthyes vacha Hamilton from Indus River, Sindh, Pakistan. A total of 281 specimen of E. vacha were collected from fisherman?s catch from February 2005 to January 2006, are used for this study. The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship were calculated as W= aLb are...

background: we presumed that the surgeon himself has an impact on the results after coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) as there is no unique protocol for the discharge of post-operative cardiac patients at our institution. therefore, we examined whether the surgeon himself has an impact on the intensive care unit (icu) stay of isolated cabg patients. methods: we prospectively studied a tota...

the aim of present study was to determine the impact of two different icu management model, open and semi closed, on resources utilization in intensive care unit.retrospective cohort analysis using data from hospital database was applied to compare the effect of icu management model on icu length of stay and bed disposition of 1064 patients admitted to the general icu of imam khomeini hospital ...

indian ber (ziziphus mauritiana) has growing type as grape and is inclined to horizental and down ward growth. if it is not trained appropriately, it would grow into very bushy with thiny shoots. hence, such trees have short lives, and are liable to pests and diseases with low yield. fruit harvesting is also difficult in bushy trees. therefore, proper pruning and training of young trees is esse...

abstract in this study, the effect of suspended load transport on the characteristics of submerged hydraulic jump (shj) in a rectangular channel was investigated experimentally. sediment concentration and jet froude numbers in the range of 0.424%-16.15% and 1.93-4.96, respectively, were considered. tow grain size 0.15 and 0.03 mm were used in the experiments. characteristics of submerged hydrau...

background: length of stay is one of the most important indicators in assessing hospital performance. a shorter stay can reduce the costs per discharge and shift care from inpatient to less expensive post-acute settings. it can lead to a greater readmission rate, better resource management, and more efficient services. objective: this study aimed to identify the factors influencing length of ho...

background: preterm infants need to be hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) and receive specific systematic care in order to survive. nonetheless, long hospital stay leads to parents’ separation from the infant and disturbance in the family life. it also has many undesirable effects on the infant. the present study aimed to determine the effect of family-centered empowerment ...
