The organization and implementation of anti-epidemic support in the Polish Armed Forces carrying out mandatory tasks in theatres of military operations poses a difficult and imperceptible problem in the field of medical assistance of military contingents. One of the operative instruments designed for limitation of the spread of infectious diseases and its health consequences among participants ...

The first part of the project was to develop a spreadsheet that would compute delivery accuracy of unguided weapons. This was accomplished with the assistance of LT T. Smith. The second part was to begin translating this methodology into a c++ environment capable of being integrated directly into JAWS. The third task related to the analysis of accuracy for the AGM -65 Maverick missile, and the ...

Review scope Included studies compared nonpharmaceutical interventions (psychoeducational strategies, cognitive–behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, nondirective counseling, psychological debriefing, supportive interactions, or tangible assistance) with usual care in pregnant women and new mothers < 6 weeks after delivery. Interventions could be delivered prenatally and/or within th...

Personal health records(PHRs) are proposed as a strategy to make health care delivery increasingly patient-centered. Yet little work has been done in understanding the workflows of patients in their own homes, or influence of access, cognitive, physical, or literacy barriers on workflow and outcomes of using health records. Many populations may require assistance in using PHRs to improve their ...

Hyperbilirubinemia is an important health problem in newborns. The most common causes are Rh and ABO incompatibility, hemolytic anemias, enzyme deficiencies, sepsis, hypothyroidism, pyloric stenosis and breast-milk jaundice. Adrenal hemorrhage is a rare cause of hyperbilirubinemia in the neonate. We present a six-day-old newborn with hyperbilirubinemia and suprarenal hematoma who was born at ho...

The role of total cholesterol (TC) and lipoproteins in the assessment of coronary heart disease (CHD) is firmly established from population and intervention studies. Total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) levels are positively associated with CHD, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) levels are negatively associated with CHD. Efforts to identify and treat people at incr...

Although recent advances in neonatal care have improved survival rates, rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia remain unchanged. Although neonatologists are increasingly applying gentle ventilation strategies in the neonatal intensive care unit, the same emphasis has not been applied immediately after birth. A lung-protective strategy should start with the first breath to help in the establishment...

The paper presents an approach to support knowledge-intensive tasks with a context-sensitive task management system that is integrated into the user’s personal knowledge space represented in the Nepomuk Semantic Desktop. The context-sensitive assistance is based on the combination of user observation, agile task modelling, automatic task prediction, as well as elicitation and proactive delivery...

BACKGROUND In Ethiopia, about 20,000 women die each year from complications of pregnancy and child birth with many more maternal morbidities occurring for each maternal deaths. This makes Ethiopia one of the highest countries for maternal deaths in the developing world. This study attempted to assess women's skilled assistance seeking behaviour for pregnancy complications among those who gave b...

As governments are increasingly turning to cost sharing in order to meet the growing demand for, and decreasing government investment in, public higher education, the choice among different tuition fee policies becomes of great importance. Tuition fee policies and the financial assistance policies that accompany them are critical both for the very considerable revenue at stake and for the poten...
