We present a ten-year-update of the EPR-orientation-model for success of Electronic Patient Records (EPR’s), based on our research. An EPR is seen as a way to make healthcare more efficient and effective. Many initiatives lead to the implementation of EPR’s, but also regional infrastructures for informationand network services are realized. The law to realize a national EPR is rejected by the D...

This paper is based on an interview study with 19 resident, specialist and senior physicians. The study was initiated by a Swedish Hospital management to investigate physicians’ attitude towards their EPR (Electronic Patient Records) and give recommendations for improvement in organization, development, deployment and training. The management had experienced that the physicians were unwilling t...

We have collected electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectra from the hydrogen peroxide compound of yeast cytochrome c peroxidase, termed ES, employing EPR microwave frequencies of 9.6 and 11.6 GHz. We have measured and analyzed the temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) of the paramagnetic center of ES over the tempera...

We describe a protocol for distilling maximally entangled bipartite states between random pairs of parties from those sharing a tripartite W state |W=(1/sqrt[3])(|100+|010+|001)(ABC), and show that the total distillation rate E(t)(infinity) [the total number of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs distilled per W, irrespective of who shares them] may be done at a higher rate than EPR distillatio...

Several pH-dependent low-spin ferric haem forms are identified in a frozen solution of the ferric ¹²¹Cys→Ser mutant of Drosophila melanogaster haemoglobin (DmHb1*) using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. Different forms with EPR parameters typical of bis-histidine coordinated haem iron centers were observed. Strong pH-dependent changes in the EPR signatures were observed related...

We performed a comparative analysis of the arguments of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen – EPR, 1935: [1] (against the completeness of QM) and the theoretical formalism of QM (due to von Neumann, 1932: [2]). We found that the EPR considerations do not match at all with the von Neumann's theory. Thus EPR did not criticize the real theoretical model of QM. The root of EPR's paradoxical conclusion on ...

A new stable pyrrolidine functionalized fullerene derivative, C69H10N2O2, has been synthesized, purified by high performance liquid chromatography, and characterized by MALDI mass spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, H and C nuclear magnetic resonance. The magnetic properties of the analogous endohedral species have been studied by both continuous wave (CW...

Applying recent developments in protein purification techniques, a number of lipoxygenase isoenzymes have been isolated in satisfactory quantities for a detailed physical and structural characterization. Four seed isoenzymes from two soybean cultivars have been studied by peptide mapping, free thiol and iron content determinations, and C-terminal analysis as well as by uv-visible absorption and...

Recently, in vivo electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and imaging have been widely used to investigate free radical distribution and metabolism in tissues, organs, and whole body of small animals. Endogenous nitric oxide (NO) is an attractive target of this method. In the present study, NO production from a nitrovasodilator, isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN), in live mice was investiga...

Muscle metabolic by-products during exercise, such as K+, lactic acid, ATP, H+, and phosphate, are well established to be involved in the reflex cardiovascular response to static muscle contraction. However, the role of muscle reactive oxygen species (ROS), a metabolic by-product during muscle contraction, in the exercise pressor reflex (EPR) has not been investigated in detail. In the present ...
