PURPOSE The experience at a medium-sized regional medical center participating in the ASHP MENTORED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IMPACT PROGRAM℠ (MQIIP) on Insulin Pen Safety in Hospitals is described. SUMMARY With the support of top hospital leaders, Munson Medical Center (MMC) applied in June 2014 to participate in the MQIIP to complement its ongoing risk assessment related to the use of pen devices...

Title of Document: PAPIERCRAFT: A PAPER-BASED INTERFACE TO SUPPORT INTERACTION WITH DIGITAL DOCUMENTS Chunyuan Liao, Ph.D, 2009 Directed By: Associate Professor, François Guimbretière, Department of Computer Science Many researchers extensively interact with documents using both computers and paper printouts, which provide an opposite set of supports. Paper is comfortable to read from and write...

Percutaneous epidural neuroplasty (PEN) is a known interventional technique for the management of spinal pain. As with any procedures, PEN is associated with complications ranging from mild to more serious ones. We present a case of intracranial subdural hematoma after PEN requiring surgical evacuation. We review the relevant literature and discuss possible complications of PEN and patholophysi...

This paper is concerned with α– and D–negative imaginary systems. The definition of α–negative imaginary transfer functions is firstly introduced. Then, the relationship between negative imaginary and α–negative imaginary transfer functions is studied. By means of the generalized inverse, an α–negative imaginary lemma is proposed to test the α–negative imaginary property of transfer functions. ...

Objective(s):To determine the effect of acetylcholine (ACh), pilocarpine, and atropine on pain evoked responses of pain excited neurons (PEN) and pain inhibited neurons (PIN) in hippocampal CA3 region of morphine addicted rats. Materials and Methods:Female Wistar rats, weighing between 230-260 g were used in this study. Morphine addicted rats were generated by subcutaneous injection of increasi...

An imaginary cube is a three dimensional object which has square projections in three orthogonal directions just as a cube has. In this paper, we study imaginary cubes and present sculptures based on imaginary cubes. We show that there are 16 kinds of minimal convex imaginary cubes. The list of 16 representative minimal convex imaginary cubes contains, as well as a regular tetrahedron and a cub...

In this paper, we determine all the imaginary abelian number fields with class number one. There exist exactly 172 imaginary abelian number fields with class number one. The maximal conductor of these fields is 10921 = 67 • 163 , which is the conductor of the biquadratic number field Q(\/-67, v'—163).
