OBJECTIVE To estimate cost savings from emergency contraceptive pills in Canada. METHODS We modeled cost savings when a single emergency contraceptive treatment was provided after unprotected intercourse and when women were provided emergency contraceptive pills in advance. RESULTS Each dollar spent on a single treatment saved $1.19--$2.35 (in Canadian currency), depending on the regimen an...

BACKGROUND Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can be clinically effective and cost-effective for HIV prevention in high-risk men who have sex with men (MSM). However, individual patients have different risk profiles, real-world populations vary, and no practical tools exist to guide clinical decisions or public health strategies. We introduce a practical model of HIV acquisition, including bo...

Capitalize on QI and cost-saving opportunities by using the patient as messenger. No one has more to gain from quality improvement and cost-saving opportunities than patients themselves. That's why San Jose, CA-based Resolution Health Inc., developed a program that makes sure patients know what screenings and procedures they are due for, according to evidence-based guidelines, and how they can ...

Signcryption is a new paradigm in public key cryptography. A remarkable property of a signcryption scheme is that it fulllls both the functions of public key encryption and digital signature, with a cost signiicantly smaller than that required by signature-then-encryption. The purposes of this paper are to demonstrate how to specify signcryption schemes on elliptic curves over nite elds, and to...

An optical packet switch that shares both limited range and full range wavelength converters for contention resolution is proposed with the aim to guarantee a high conversion cost saving. To optimally dimension the number and the conversion range of the wavelength converters, an analytical model, validated by simulation, is introduced. Numerical results show that the proposed switch architectur...

BACKGROUND Comprehensive analyses have shown that screening for cancer usually induces net costs. In this study, the possible costs and savings of endoscopic colorectal cancer screening are explored to investigate whether the induced savings may compensate for the costs of screening. METHODS A simulation model for evaluation of colorectal cancer screening, MISCAN-COLON, is used to predict cos...

This paper explains the project which is a special kind of circular rotating 8 LED display. With the help some mechanical assembly, LED count, hardware requirement, and hence overall cost is cut to very affordable price and power is also saved. Also, maintenance and repairing of the display is so easy, that anyone having a little electronics knowledge can take care of this. All the synchronizin...

BACKGROUND Screening colonoscopy was introduced into the National Cancer Prevention Program in Germany in 2002. We have explored costs and savings of screening and surveillance colonoscopy to investigate whether the induced savings may compensate for the costs of screening. METHODS The study design was a model calculation based on data of a large-scale documentation of screening colonoscopy. ...

UNLABELLED The prevalence of chronic hepatitis C infection in U.S. prisons is 12% to 31%. Treatment of this substantial portion of the population has been subject to much controversy, both medically and legally. Studies have demonstrated that treatment of chronic hepatitis C with pegylated interferon (PEG IFN) and ribavirin is a cost-effective measure in the general population; however, no stud...
