AbstractAbstractThis article describes a multi-dimensional approach to the classification of research literature on simulation and modelling in health care. The aim study was analyse relative frequency use range operational approaches care, along with specific domains application level implementation. Given vast scale care literature, novel review methodology adopted, similar concept stratified sampling. results provide new insights into activity across many areas application, highlighting...
Nematodes causing lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis rely on their bacterial endosymbiont, Wolbachia, for survival fecundity, making Wolbachia a promising therapeutic target. Here we perform high-throughput screen of AstraZeneca's 1.3 million in-house compound library identify 5 novel chemotypes with faster in vitro kill rates (<2 days) than existing anti-Wolbachia drugs that cure filariasis. This industrial scale anthelmintic neglected tropical disease (NTD) screening campaign is the...
Summary Using average number of patients expected in a year, length stay and target occupancy level to calculate the critical care beds needed is mathematically incorrect because nonlinearity variability factors that control stay. For excess 80%, this simple calculation will typically underestimate required. More seriously, it provides no quantitative guidance information about other aspects demand such as numbers emergency transferred, deferral rates for elective overall utilisation. The...

IMPORTANCE Supplementing potassium in an effort to maintain high-normal serum concentrations is a widespread strategy used prevent atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery (AFACS), but not evidence-based, carries risks, and costly. OBJECTIVE To determine whether lower concentration trigger for supplementation noninferior trigger. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This open-label, noninferiority, randomized clinical trial was conducted at 23 surgical centers the United Kingdom Germany....
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are facing increasing pressures in many nations given that demands on the service rising. This article focuses particular operations of Welsh Ambulance Service Trust (WAST), which is only organisation provides urgent paramedical care services a day-to-day basis across whole Wales. In response to WAST's aspiration improve quality it provides, this research investigates several interrelated advanced statistical and operational (OR) methods, culminating suite...
