STUDY OBJECTIVE Our primary aim is to identify patient and emergency department (ED) characteristics that are associated with patient satisfaction scores. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed Press Ganey patient satisfaction surveys completed between December 2009 and May 2013 in a single academic ED for all patients aged 21 years and older. Patient and ED operational characteristics wer...

Chinese allows manner and degree adverbs to occur further to the left than is possible in English and other languages; compare Amanda will (*loudly) be (loudly) greeting her guests (loudly) with Lisi (qingqingde) ba zhuozi (qingqingde) qiao-le yixia “Lisi lightly knocked once on the table,” with the manner adverbial to the left of BA. It is proposed here that this results from the two languages...

Abstract BACKGROUND Stroke is common in patients with malignancy, but cancer treatment have contraindications to intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Advancements endovascular therapy (EVT) has expanded options for acute stroke management . Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) a center without public emergency room. Acute occurs inpatient or urgent care (UCC). We determined need rapid...

2014 The shielding properties of a superconducting lead shell have been investigated in fields of the order of 10-4 gauss. The small ambient fields were obtained with a room size 03BC-metal shield. Fields of less than 2 microgauss were obtained over a sphere of 7.5 cm diameter. This region is at room temperature and is suitable for magnetometer testing.

Background: Endovascular therapy within an appropriate time has been shown to improve neurological outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke. A hybrid emergency room is unit that can be used for resuscitation, computed tomography (CT), surgery, and angiography. Therefore, immediate CT endovascular performed without transfer other rooms. We aimed evaluate the possibility of using a shorten strok...

We have tried and developed a whiteboard-type message board on the network and developed a message board system on WWW for asynchronous communication, which provides users with simple tools for drawing. On this board, any message can be written by hand, making use of mouse and tablets. Letters are coded as a collection of lines. We call this type of system an "on-door" communication system, and...

Some years ago I built a large demonstration pigeon chamber that was constructed of transparent Plexiglas on three vertical sides and the top. The intelligence panel and the bottom were opaque. The chamber was placed in a small room in the laboratory, and a pigeon was trained to peck a transilluminated key in the usual manner with presentations of a few seconds access to grain. Key pecking was ...

A study was undertaken to examine the effect of lining high-energy linear accelerator mazes with neutron-moderating materials in order to reduce scattered neutron dose at the accelerator room door. Polyethylene alone reduced neutron dose by no more than 27% and did not significantly reduce gamma ray dose. Polyethylene combined with flexboron panels reduced neutron dose by 50% at most, reducing ...

popular culture of the 1990s came, of course, from television: Jerry Seinfeld’s apartment door bursting open, with Kramer grasping the doorknob and sliding into the room as if the door were dragging him by its own sheer will. A manic force was thrust, as if from some other cosmic sphere, into the relatively calm, if absurd, world of Jerry Seinfeld. This is a comic rhythm we know well from more ...

We instituted a multidisciplinary educational and operational quality improvement initiative to assess the effect of process interventions on reducing OR door openings and, by extension, surgical site infections. From 2009 to 2012, we conducted an initial trial to gather information and identify reasons for door openings followed by a three-phase investigation that evaluated a total of 102 orth...
