Clinical handoffs are tools aimed at bridging gaps that occur during transitions in care, whether across time (eg, shift changes) or across organisational boundaries (eg, the ward to the intensive care unit). They have long been viewed as potential threats to safety and are attracting increasing attention for several reasons. First, from a control theory point of view, handoffs are inherently h...

The motivation of this paper is based on the fact that a straightforward solution to optimization of the widely used μ-law companding quantizer has not been proposed so far. We deal with this problem for the case of a Laplacian source and we apply Muller’s method for the optimization of the quantizer in question. Particularly, we use minimal distortion criteria and we apply Muller’s method in o...

BACKGROUND Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor utilized in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. Recent studies have identified paroxetine as a G protein-coupled receptor kinase-2 (GRK2) inhibitor capable of reversing cardiac dysfunction and remodeling in experimental models of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We determine the clinical importance of paroxetine ...

Included among these are thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, hemoglobimi C, D, amid E disease, amid their combimiatiomis, all of which share fri common a number of hematologic ahnormalities. Dameshek has stated that the diagnosis of thalassemia is made omi a number of more or less...

we have used tungestophosphoric acid to catalyze oxidative amidation reaction from benzyl alcohols and methylarens with hydrochloride salts of amines. to achieve this purpose, modified magnetic nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@sio2@h3pw12o40) were applied as catalyst and tbhp as external oxidant. after optimizing, different derivates of benzamides were synthesized in good yields. also, the result of two ...

WALFORD, M.D. T HE CLINICAL ENTITY of syphilitic paroxysmal cold hemoglohimsuria has beens adequately described by Rosensbach,’ Domsath amid Landsteiner,2 Mackenszie,3 Ross4 amid others. Ins this disease exposure to cold induces a paroxysm characterized by a shakinig chill, fever, flank pain amid hemoglobinuria. This phensomensoni is thought to be due to a cold...

Fourteen patients of approximately 5,000 taking PAS imi this institution acquired a severe hypersensitivity to the drug. The reaction began 15 to 43 days after the beginning of therapy and all cases developed fever (100.2 to 105#{176} F.), rash and pruritus (table 1). The rash involved the face, neck, and extremities in the milder cases and was generalized in the severer ones. Usually it was er...
