Surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance was examined in gastric cancer patients who had undergone an open gastrectomy between 1997 and 2003 at Keio University Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) reports and several studies have discussed SSI risk factors, but only open gastrectomy was analyzed by regression analysis. The purpose of this study was to e...

BACKGROUND Surgical management of acute appendicitis with appendiceal abscess or phlegmon remains controversial. We studied the results of initial conservative treatment (antibiotics and percutaneous drainage if necessary, with or without interval appendectomy) compared with immediate surgery. METHODS We undertook an observational, retrospective cohort study of patients with a clinical and ra...

With the increasing number of surgery or operation, perioperative infection has become one of problems that have been found more often. Surgical site infection is the most common perioperative infection causing increased hospitalization stay, high cost, morbidity and mortality rate. Infection occurs within 30 days after the operation on surgical site or within one year if implant is in place. S...

This paper constructs fully parallel NN hardware architecture, FPGA has been used to reduce neuron hardware by design the activation function inside the neuron without using lookup table as in most researches, to perform an efficient NN. It consist of two main parts; the first part covers network training using MATLAB program, the second part represents the hardware implementation of the traine...

BACKGROUND Abdominal surgical site infections (SSI) cause substantial morbidity and mortality for patients undergoing operative procedures. We determined the incidence of and risk factors for SSI after abdominal surgery in the Department of Abdominal Surgery at the University Clinical Centre of Kosovo (UCCK). METHODOLOGY Prospective surveillance of patients undergoing abdominal surgery was pe...

introduction:poisoning is a common reasons for hospitalization in all over the world and exhausts a substantial share of health resources.khoramabad is a rather large city in iran but there has been no study about incidence of poisoned patients especially grave ones who are hospitalized in icus, thus we designed this study to epidemiologicall assess these patients in two major referral centers ...

abstract        background and objective: staphylococcus aureus is the most common and important infectious agent. this bacterium can enter the bloodstream and cause some complications in the intensive care unit (icu).this organism can frequently be found in the nose and transmitted by the carriers. this study aimed to determine the efficiency of eradicating s. aureus from the nose of icu perso...

In this paper, the parameters of the LTE system in DL are investigated. These parameters include the effect of the Hybrid Adaptive Repeat and Request henceforth (HARQ) on the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Block Error Rate (BLER), and throughput. The paper deals with three cases of Channel Quality Indicator (CQI): 3,7 and 15.The results showed that the HARQ procedure can improve the BLER and the ...
