Abstract In response to the low level of automation tools used for patient transfer in hospitals and resulting shortage nursing personnel, this paper studies characteristics existing products related structural features. A machine based on static is proposed, which can achieve between a hospital bed stretcher truck. paper, overall structure has been designed detail, design analysis important tr...

OBJECTIVES To study the extent and execution of redundant processes during inpatient transfers to Radiology, and their impact on errors during the transfer process; to explore the use of causal and reliability analyses for modelling error detection and redundancy in the transfer process; and to provide guidance on potential system improvements. METHODS A prospective observational study at a m...

The somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique is the most popular method for producing genetically modified pigs, but its efficiency depends upon a number of factors. In the present study, we attempted to generate transgenically cloned Guangxi Bama mini-pigs--which possess great potential for modeling human diseases--through genetic modification of fibroblasts, followed by SCNT and embryo ...

Patient handling continues to represent a high risk task for low back pain (LBP) among health caregivers. Previous studies indicated that manual transfers of patients impose unacceptable loads on the spine even when two caregivers perform the transfer. Patient lift devices are considered a potential intervention; however, few biomechanical analyses have investigated the spine loads and LBP risk...
