We present an outline of the technical aspects recently started ViSiCAST project, which aims to provide deaf citizens with improved access services and facilities through sign language. first give overview main application areas, before considering in more detail two areas supporting technology development: language notation, virtual human signing.
Objective The use of the Pediatric Risk Mortality (PRISM) score or other scoring systems in intensive care unit (ICU) is great importance for evaluating efficacy and efficiency a particular ICU. However, PRISM was developed validated United States subsequently Europe, but has not been evaluated less affluent society. In general, should be used only populations similar to reference population which prediction model developed. We set out determine applicability at Baragwanath Hospital, South...
Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on the Biosense amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for determination of domoic acid (DA) toxins in order to obtain interlaboratory validation data method. In addition, a method comparison performed evaluate ASP ELISA as an alternative current liquid chromatography (LC) reference DA determination. The material comprised 16 samples, including blue mussels, Pacific oysters, and king scallops, spiked with...
Fever is a normal physiological response to illness that facilitates and accelerates recovery. Although it often associated with self-limiting viral infection in children, may also be presenting symptom of more serious conditions requiring urgent medical care. Therefore, essential distinguish between child fever who at high risk requires specific treatment, hospitalisation or specialist care, those low can managed conservatively home. This guideline aims assist pharmacists, primary...
A patient with Hodgkin's disease, whose disease terminated 18 months after diagnosis the almost explosive appearance of acute myelocytic leukemia, is described. The unusual relationship between and leukemia briefly discussed.
A rapid, accurate weight-estimation method is essential in paediatric emergency care, when it may not be possible to weigh a child, as drug dose calculations cannot completed without weight.To determine and compare the performance of Broselow tape, PAWPER (Paediatric Advanced Weight Prediction Emergency Room) Mercy method, Wozniak three age-based formulae estimating weight children. secondary objective was assess whether addition figural rating scale body habitus improved tape.We estimated...
<title>Abstract</title> Objectives: Radiologist participation in multidisciplinary tumor board can be time-consuming and demanding, requiring substantial preparation. Anecdotally radiologist is felt to help identify discrepancies previous interpretations; however, there are limited data assessing the actual impact of their review on patient management. This prospective study aims evaluate how reinterpretation outside imaging at hepatobiliary (HBTB) affects diagnosis management patients with...
Erroneous weight estimation during the management of emergency presentations in children may contribute to patient harm and poor outcomes. The PAWPER (Paediatric Advanced Weight Prediction Emergency Room) XL tape is an accurate length-based, habitus-modified device, but vulnerable errors if subjective visual assessments children's body habitus are incorrect or erratic.Mid-arm circumference (MAC) has previously been used as a surrogate indicator habitus, objective this study was determine...
The effect of patient position and cooperation on the accuracy emergency weight estimation systems has not been evaluated previously. objective this study was to evaluate Broselow tape, PAWPER XL Mercy method, a custom-designed mobile phone App in variety realistic simulated paediatric emergencies.This prospective which 32 medicine volunteers participated eight simulations common conditions, using children models. participants used each four methods estimate children's weight. time taken for...
Background Healthcare professionals working in emergency medicine are often exposed to noisy environments. We determined if there is any difference cognitive task performance required for clinical decision-making of healthcare a quiet compared with environment and assess the subjective experience participants regard environment. Methods This was prospective cross-over study conducted at three academic hospitals Johannesburg, South Africa. 41 doctors involved management patients were...
