abstractmedication errors are commonly encountered in hospital setting. intravenous medications pose particular risks because of their greater complexity and the multiple steps required in their preparation, administration and monitoring. we aimed to determine the rate of errors during preparation and administration phase of intravenous medications and the correlation of these errors with the d...

In a multidatabase system schematic con icts between two objects are usually of inter est only when the objects have some semantic a nity In this paper we try to reconcile the two perspectives We rst de ne the concept of semantic proximity and provide a semantic taxonomy We then enumerate and classify the schematic and data con icts We discuss possible semantic similarities between two objects ...

A representative watershed was instrumented with five gauging sites (n = 5), partitioning the catchment into five nested-scale sub-watersheds. Four physiochemical variables were monitored: water temperature, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and dissolved oxygen (DO). Data were collected four days per week from October 2010–May 2014 at each gauging site. Statistical analyses indicated significa...

Biomaterial implants are an established part of medical practice, encompassing a broad range of devices that widely differ in function and structural composition. However, one common property amongst biomaterials is the induction of the foreign body response: an acute sterile inflammatory reaction which overlaps with tissue vascularisation and remodelling and ultimately fibrotic encapsulation o...

Abstract Background A vast variety of factors may cause recurrent pregnancy loss. Blood group incompatibility of parents could cause abortion. The examination of couples or twins, blood groups showed that the blood group incompatibility can affect adversely the outcome of pregnancy. Couples with blood group incompatibility are more involved in spontaneous miscarriage. Antigenes in two differe...

Previously we have described a mutant Hfr strain in which incompatibility between the integrated F factor and an autonomous F-prime (F') factor was abolished. The mutation (inc) was located in the integrated F factor. F-prime factors isolated from the mutant Hfr strain have the same incompatibility behavior as those isolated from normal Hfr strains. Reintegration of these F' factors into the ch...
