Rettungsdienste sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Gefahrenabwehr und der Gesundheitsvorsorge. Die Arbeit des Rettungsfachpersonals und der Notärzte ist geprägt von zahlreichen täglichen Routineeinsätzen (Krankentransporte, individualmedizinische Notfälle) einerseits und außergewöhnlichen Einsatzlagen bei einem Massenanfall von Verletzten (MANV) andererseits. Zur Dokumentation relevanter Patien...

Urban commercial quarters such as bazaars can be found all over the world, from Turkey toEgypt, from Tajikistan to Iran. In Iranian cities, bazaars have very specific and unique architectural features and theyhave played an important role as economic and social engines. In addition, bazaars are an integral part of the culturalgeography of Iran and have contributed to the definition of urban dev...

Background:  Due to difficulty in obtaining anatomical reduction, management of the unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly osteoporotic patients is challenging. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of hip arthroplasty (total, hemi, or bipolar) with DHS in the elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures.   Methods:  We prospectively studied and followed-up ...

in a recent editorial for this journal, el-jardali and fadlallah proposed a new framework for knowledge translation (kt) in healthcare. many such frameworks already exist; thus, new entrants to the field must be scrutinized in regard to their unique contributions to advancing understanding and practice. the el-jardali and fadlallah framework focuses on policy-level discussions, a relatively und...

The theory of quantum scarring -- a remarkable violation unique ergodicity rests on two complementary pillars: the existence unstable classical periodic orbits and so-called quasimodes, i.e., non-ergodic states that strongly overlap with small number system's eigenstates. Recently, interest in scars has been revived many-body setting Rydberg atom chains. While previous theoretical works have id...

In this paper, in order to try to account for the transient oscillations observed in chemostat experiments, we consider a model of single species growth in a chemostat that involves delayed growth response. The time delay models the lag involved in the nutrient conversion process. Both monotone response functions and nonmonotone response functions are considered. The nonmonotone response functi...

conclusions application of pedicular screw in unstable upper and middle thoracic spine fractures is an effective method that can correct kyphotic deformity and anterolisthesis and improve neurologic deficit. background treatment of unstable upper and middle thoracic spine fractures remains controversial. there is no consensus regarding optimal treatment. objectives in this study, we evaluated t...

Wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) simulations are a popular means for investigating the properties of human-computer interaction. In this paper the findings from a WOZ experiment for evaluating different design options for a spoken dialogue system are presented. In addition to the documentation of the outcomes of this evaluation in terms of standard quantitative measures we also present findings from a more q...
