OBJECTIVE Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and prolonged febrile seizures (pFS) are common neurologic problems that occur during childhood. However, there is insufficient evidence from experimental studies to conclude that pFS directly induces hippocampal injury. We studied cognitive function and histological changes in a rat model and investigated which among pFS, HIE, or a dual...

Health information exchange (HIE) the electronic exchange of health information among healthcare institutions has been projected to hold enormous promise as an antidote to the fragmented healthcare delivery system in the United States. After decades of mostly failed attempts, we still do not know how to make HIE work. This thesis is the beginning of a systematic understanding of HIE, focusing o...

OBJECTIVE It has been found that asphyxia influences proliferation and differentiation of brain neural stem cells in newborn animal models, and that peripheral blood stem cells play an important role in repairing brain damage. But it has not been reported yet whether asphyxia influences peripheral blood stem cells differentiating into neural cells, and whether with the progress of the disease t...

OBJECTIVE To examine the financial impact health information exchange (HIE) in emergency departments (EDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied all ED encounters over a 13-month period in which HIE data were accessed in all major emergency departments Memphis, Tennessee. HIE access encounter records were matched with similar encounter records without HIE access. Outcomes studied were ED-originat...

Health information exchange (HIE) systems facilitate access to patient information for a variety of health care organizations, end users, and clinical and organizational goals. While a complex intervention, organizations' usage of HIE is often conceptualized and measured narrowly. We sought to provide greater specificity to the concept of HIE as an intervention by formulating a typology of orga...

Active infective endocarditis (IE) is classified into two groups; hospital acquired IE (HIE) and IE other than HIE, which was defined as community-acquired IE (CIE). Eighty-two patients underwent surgical treatment for active IE. Seventy-one cases were CIE group and eleven were HIE. There were six patients with native valve endocarditis and five cases of prosthetic valve endocarditis in the HIE...

OBJECTIVES Medical imaging, which is expensive, is frequently repeated for the same patient within a relatively short period of time due to lack of access to previous images. Health information exchange (HIE) may reduce repeat imaging by facilitating provider access to prior images and reports. We sought to determine the effect of an HIE system on the occurrence of repeat imaging. STUDY DESIG...

HIE-124 is a new member of ultra-short acting hypnotics’ drug family. In this research, the synthesis ofanalogues of HIE-124 drug in the heterocyclic thiazole ring replaced to thiadiazole, will be presented.Thiadiazolodiazepines during a two-step reaction starting from the amino thiadiazole resultedfrom-various derivatives of benzoic acid and thiosemicarbazide were synthesized. In the first ste...

Increased information availability, timeliness, and comprehensiveness through health information exchange (HIE) can support public health practice. The potential benefits to disease monitoring, disaster response, and other public health activities served as an important justification for the US' investments in HIE. After several years of HIE implementation and funding, we sought to determine if...

In individuals without diabetes, highintensity exercise (HIE) training may reduce (1) the characteristic postexercise rise in plasma glucose with HIE (2–4) and reduces (5,6) the marked acid-base balance perturbations (5–8). In type 1 diabetes, continuous HIE induces sustained hyperglycemia (9,10), while very brief intermittent HIE may reduce hyperglycemia (11). Acid-base disturbances during exe...
