Introduction: Healthcare workers (HCWs) were at the frontline during battle against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Understanding their fears and anxieties may hold lessons for handling future outbreaks, including acts of bioterrorism. Method: We measured risk perception impact on personal work life 15,025 HCWs from 9 major healthcare institutions SARS epidemic in Singapore using a self-administered questionnaire Impact Events Scale analyzed results with bivariate multivariate...
Background and Purpose —In Asia, there has been no international study to investigate the risk factors for early death in patients with ischemic stroke intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods —We conducted a prospective of consecutive acute who were admitted 36 participating hospitals China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam. With use simple identical data sheet, we recorded demographics cardiovascular each patient. Early was defined as on...
Federated learning (FL) is recently surging as a promising decentralized deep (DL) framework that enables DL-based approaches trained collaboratively across clients without sharing private data. However, in the context of central party being active and dishonest, data individual might be perfectly reconstructed, leading to high possibility sensitive information leaked. Moreover, FL also suffers from nonindependent identically distributed (non-IID) among clients, resulting degradation...
OBJECTIVE—Asia is predicted to have the largest population of patients with diabetes who are at high risk for renal disease. In Reduction Endpoints in NIDDM Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan (RENAAL) study, ∼17% were Asians. this subgroup analysis, we examined characteristics, response, and adherence treatment Asian population, as well their baseline predictors end points. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A total 252 enrolled RENAAL which compared losartan (50 mg titrated 100 mg) placebo...
Background: Singapore was affected by an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) from 25 February to 31 May 2003, with 238 probable cases and 33 deaths. Aims: To study usage personal protective equipment (PPE) among three groups healthcare workers (HCWs: doctors, nurses, administrative staff), determine if the appropriate PPE were used different examine factors that may inappropriate use. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire survey 14 554 HCWs in nine settings, which...
Abstract Background Epstein–Barr virus‐associated smooth muscle tumors ( EBV SMT ) in adult kidney transplant recipients KTR are rare. The aims of this study to document the clinical features, types treatment given, and outcomes with our institution. Methods Sixteen patients were identified from institution's databases. Patients' survival, tumor outcome, graft survival compared between who remained on cyclosporine‐based immunosuppressant those converted sirolimus‐based therapy. Results...
The pattern of glomerulonephritis (GN) in Singapore is compared with that 19 other countries to review changing trends the evolution GN Asian, Eastern, and Western countries.Three thousand two hundred eighty-nine renal biopsies were reviewed countries.IgA nephritis on decline many countries, including Singapore, though it still remains commonest Singapore. Membranous if used be more frequently present has also declined continues a rising trend such as China. Worldwide, frequency focal...
Hypertension (HTN) confers increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk; however, the variation in risk and how treatment control rates may differ according to extent of needs clarification. We examined CVD distribution patterns group.We estimated 10-year Framingham global 1,509 U.S. persons aged ≥30 years from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2006 with HTN proportion subjects low (<10%), intermediate (10-20%), high (>20%) groups, or pre-existing CVD, who otherwise...
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a new industrial ecosystem that combines intelligent and autonomous machines, advanced predictive analytics, machine-human collaboration to improve productivity, efficiency reliability. integration industry IoT creates various attack surfaces opportunities for data breaches. In the IIoT context, it will often be case considered sensitive. This because encapsulate aspects operation, including highly sensitive information about products, business...
Introduction: The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) is well established in acute medical units to identify acutely deteriorating patients and shown have good prognostic value. NEWS, however, has only been used the Emergency Department as a triage tool. We aimed evaluate validity of NEWS Acute Medical Ward (AMW) that treats predominantly infection-related conditions Internal Medicine service. Materials Methods: undertook retrospective cohort study analysed records all admitted AMW at...
In recent years, Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a promising solution for many computer vision applications due to its effectiveness in handling data privacy and communication overhead. However, when applying FL advanced computationally heavy tasks like video-based action recognition, clients can struggle with the lack of annotated model biases, thus negatively impacting learning performance. Therefore, adopting Few-Shot (FSL) is essential, where learned adapt unseen classes using...
Peritonitis and exit-site infections (ESI) are major causes of morbidity in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The application topical mupirocin to exit sites reduces such complications, prolongs life PD. Since the year 2000, this treatment has been used our hospital on new PD We analysed results protocol, studied effects comorbidities incidence peritonitis.We 740 incident patients, who were divided into two groups based entry (Group 1 from January 1998 December 1999 inclusive, not used,...
Background. Peritonitis and exit-site infections (ESI) are major causes of technique failure morbidity in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Topical mupirocin on the has been shown to reduce such complications prolong life PD. Since year 2000, an approach adopted for our new incident PD population. We now report results this protocol. also studied effect co-morbidity peritonitis occurrence.
ABSTRACT Catheter‐associated urinary tract infection ( CAUTI ) comprises 30–40% of all health care‐acquired infections, and 70–80% these infections are related with use indwelling catheters. This quality improvement QI project was initiated to evaluate the effectiveness a nurse‐driven catheter removal process in reducing duration usage general medical ward Singapore. A pre‐ post‐study design adopted. The pre‐implementation data included utilization ratio rates. Over 6‐months period, nurses...
