The Space Propulsion Robust Analysis Tool (SPRAT) project is developing technology support Space Shuttle ground operations personnel as they manage and carry out mission preparation analysis and related analyses in missions. The initial SPRAT prototype provides intelligent support and automation for mission analysis set-up and documentation for Propulsion consumables analysis. SPRAT models the ...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the costs covered by hospital during inpatient treatment process patients who underwent hip revision arthroplasty surgery in orthopedics and traumatology clinics a public compare with invoiced amount.MATERIAL AND METHODS: demographic information reasons 60 total operation between 01.01.2016 30.09.2017 were determined through Hospital Informati...

Purpose: The aim of this study was retrospective assessment the reduction quality, hospitalization time, and relief pain in hematoma block assisted closed versus sedoanalgesia reduction.
 Materials Methods: There were 106 patients included who diagnosed as isolated displaced distal fracture radius treated with reduction. Hematoma used 45 61 patients. Midazolam (0,1 mg/kg) fentanyl (1 mcg/k...

A microwave ion source is expected to have a long lifetime, as it has fewer consumables. Thus, we are in the process of developing a microwave ion source for ion implantation applications. In this paper, we report on a newly developed plasma chamber and the extracted P(+) beam currents. The volume of the plasma chamber is optimized by varying the length of a boron nitride block installed within...

Materials and methods Five periodontal specialist clinics in the Ministry of Health were randomly selected. A list of periodontal procedures was identified by an expert group. Procedures were classified as diagnostics, non-surgical periodontics and periodontal surgeries. Costing for each procedure was primarily activity-based to measure cost of dental equipment, consumables and labour cost (ave...

size of 150 (p >0.05). The cost of the consumables for the assay is approximately 10% less expensive than the dot blot assay. A plate containing 80 samples can be analyzed in under 30 min by the fluorescence-based assay, an eighth of the time required per sample for the dot blot; a single operator can easily assay over 1100 samples per day, compared to 240 samples by dot blot. Furthermore, the ...

Although surgical drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts has been superseded by less invasive options, the requirement for specialized equipment, technical expertise, and consumables limits the options available in low resource settings. We describe the challenges experienced during endoscopic transmural drainage in a low resource setting and the methods used to overcome these barriers. Despite ope...

Endoscopic transnasal surgery is rapidly replacing more radical external 'open' procedures. At Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, we performed 94 advanced endoscopic sinonasal and anterior skull base procedures over a 2-year period. Most of these would previously have been performed using large external incisions requiring more invasive surgery with significantly higher morbidity. Endoscopic su...
