The transition of clinical care from the hospital setting to outpatient follow-up creates patient safety risk due to the changes in clinical management and inefficiencies of information exchange. Diagnostic findings from the hospital setting are often important for patient care in the transition to the outpatient setting and are particularly important for test results that return after the pati...

Formalin fixation in surgical pathology is a major limiting factor to medical research and development of molecular techniques for target based medicine. Search for alternate solution of formalin fixation in the histopathology laboratory to preserve the macromolecules has led to development of various substitutes with substantial technical advantages. Though DNA and RNA could be extracted from ...

This paDem ~esents tim remf[ts obtained by an English to Malay camputer translation system at the level of a lab~mat~y prototype. %~le translation output obtained for a selected text (secondary school 6~]e~ist~y textbook) is evaluated using a grading scheme based on ease o£ post-editing. The effect of a clmnge in area and typology of text is investigated by c~paring with the translation output ...

For direct process control are most frequently used control systems based on PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), industrial controllers and other standard control systems. Applications based on standard industrial control systems and industrial serial networks are usually too expensive for small and very small application. For that reason has been proposed and developed small, highly modular...

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls body functions that can proceed independent of volitional activity . The system consists of a somatic afferent pathway, a central nervous system (CNS) integrating complex (brain and spinal cord), and two distinct efferent limbs (sympathetic and parasympathetic) each made up of preganglionic and postganglionic neurones . The viscera are innervated by b...

A punched-card system was developed to simplify the administrative aspects of the clinical chemistry laboratory. In it a three-part requisition and samples are matched and given a laboratory number. The third copy of the original laboratory requsition is a charge card also used as a name file for the day. Prepunched cards, coded for laboratory tests, are used for each test requested. The labora...
