Sociotechnical Changes Brought about by Electronic Medical Record

This paper provides analysis of a 3-year longitudinal ethnographic study following the gradual adaptation of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in a community health centre in Canada. Adopting a sociotechnical perspective, I follow the EMR and the work practices as they undergo continuous modifications and I identify changes that are brought about by the EMR. Findings from this research show es...

Reversible Changes in the Susceptibility of Mice to Bacterial Infections Ii. Changes Brought about by Nutritional Disturbances

In confirmation and extension of earlier results from this laboratory (3, 5, 18), it will be shown in the present paper that the susceptibility of mice to a number of bacterial pathogens can be markedly increased by depriving the animals of food, or feeding them inadequate diets, just prior to infection. Evidence will be presented furthermore that the change in susceptibility thus induced is re...

Changes in the Fine Structure of Rat Liver Cells Brought about by Dimethylnitrosamine

Dimethylnitrosamine (DMNA) acts as a hepatic carcinogen (1) and causes an inhibition of amino acid incorporation into rat liver protein ,in vivo (2). The latter effect could also be demonstrated (3) in vitro using slices or the microsomalsoluble fraction prepared from livers of rats as early as 3 hours after intravenous administration of DMNA (50 mg./kg, body weight). The lesion appeared to be ...

Lewis Acidity/Basicity Changes in Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids Brought About by Impurities.

We herein report on the effect that water molecules, present as impurities, in the vicinity of an ionic liquid model structure, may induce on the Lewis acidity/basicity patterns normally observed in these materials. Depending on the position and orientation of water, the Lewis acidity/basicity pattern changes from "normal distribution" (i.e., the basicity located at the anion moiety and the aci...
