The need for mastering the complexity of software systems and the hereby related demands for maintenance and changeability is partly fulfilled by the principles and benefits of objectorientation. The basic idea behind object-orientation is to reflect the real world into the physical software model one is trying to develop. Although these ideas were introduced a long time ago in the educational ...

BACKGROUND The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of sleep deprivation and dietary irregularities during Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) on selective fitness profile parameters in young untrained male Muslim individuals. METHODS 77 untrained Muslim men were recruited in the study. They were divided into the experimental group (EG; n=37, age: 22.62±1.77 years) and the cont...

The neonatal brain is potentially wired for seizures based on the timing and severity of disease states in the context of vulnerabilities of the immature brain.(1) Seizures in neonates are often the presenting sign of potential brain injury from multiple etiologies, including asphyxia or hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Seizures may also result from diverse causes of neonatal encephalopat...

This study investigated the effect of myocardial dysfunction on the cerebral hemodynamics in term infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). We evaluated myocardial systolic and diastolic functional parameters and cerebral hemodynamic parameters in 40 term newborn infants with HIE and 30 healthy controls during the first 14 days of life using two-dimensional/pulsed Doppler ultrasound. ...

According to the “healthy immigrant effect” (HIE), immigrants upon arrival are healthier than locally born residents. However, this health advantage is supposed to diminish or even disappear over a relatively short period and the immigrants’ health status is converging to that of the natives. The causes for this gradient of immigrants’ health are subject to an ongoing discussion and the underly...

Health information exchange (HIE) systems are large, multimillion dollar efforts that are implemented despite initial institutional apprehension, with largely unanticipated effects on the clinical workflow, and with a primary goal of establishing a reason to sustain the effort. Traditional evaluation methods that rely on viewing HIE as generalizable tools that can be used to demonstrate impact ...

We present a model for architectural strategies and issues regarding health information exchange (HIE). This model is a continuum of options, between separated systems and a monolithic approach. We discuss characteristics, examples and potential impacts of each approach, based on generalized observations of practical implementations. The continuum model allows for approaches that mature from an...
