How much undernutrition is there in hospitals?
Many studies over the last 30 years have emphasised the importance of disease-related undernutrition in hospitalised patients (Bistrian et al. 1974; Hill et al. 1977; McWhirter & Pennington, 1994; Corish et al. 2000; Kelly et al. 2000).

متن کاملContinuous auditory monitoring--how much information do we register?
We have studied response times of 30 anaesthetists to a standardized episode of arterial oxygen desaturation in a simulated patient, randomized to the use of either a fixed or variable pitch pulse oximeter. We wished to determine if a variable auditory signal was important in detecting adverse events. A variable pitch pulse signal had a shorter time to recognition of desaturation (P < 0.0001), ...

Social surveys in several European countries have shown that inhabitants of multifamily dwellings are considerably annoyed by noise from their neighbour's activities. This is also in countries where sound insulation minimum requirements exist and have been enforced for many years. It is therefore necessary to establish data on the sound levels of activities in residential buildings and undertak...
