Researchers have searched for scalable alternatives to the symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) architecture since it was first introduced in 1982. The paper introduces an alternative view of relationship between technologies and SMPs. Instead replacing large SMPs with technology, we propose new techniques that allow be tied together efficiently, while maintaining compatibility with, performance characteristics of, SMP. trade-offs such differ from those traditional, scalable, Non-Uniform Memory...
Background The Rwanda Human Resources for Health Program (HRH Program) is a 7-year (2012-2019) health professional training initiative led by the Government of with goals large, diverse, and competent workforce strengthening capacity academic institutions in Rwanda. Methods data this organizational case study was collected through official reports from Ministry (MoH) 22 participating US institutions, databases MoH College Medicine Sciences (CMHS) Rwanda, surveys completed co-authors. Results...
Clinical practice guidelines for managing infants and children hospitalized bronchiolitis recommend only obtaining intermittent or "spot check" pulse oximetry readings those who show clinical improvement. The effect of such monitoring is currently unknown.To determine the vs continuous on hospital length stay among nonhypoxemic young bronchiolitis.Randomized, parallel-group, superiority trial otherwise healthy 2 years age younger during period from 2009 to 2014 at 1 4 children's hospitals in...
Abstract Background Clinicians cannot reliably predict complications of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO). Methods Consecutive cases AHO from 2 pediatric centers in the United States were analyzed retrospectively to develop clinical tools data obtained within 96 hours hospitalization and chronic AHO. Two novel composite prediction scores derived multivariable logistic regression modeling compared with a previously published severity illness (SOI) score, C-reactive protein (CRP),...
Background Blood cultures are often recommended for the evaluation of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, institutions vary in their use blood cultures, and have unclear utility CAP management hospitalized children. Objective To identify clinical factors associated with obtaining children CAP, to estimate association between culture obtainment hospital length stay (LOS). Methods We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study admitted diagnosis any four pediatric hospitals...
Infections (including sepsis, meningitis, pneumonia and tetanus) stand as a major contributor to neonatal mortality in Haiti (22%). Infants acquire bacteria that cause sepsis directly from the mother's blood, skin or vaginal tract either before during delivery. Nosocomial environmental pathogens introduce further risk after The absence of cohesive medical systems methods for collecting information limits available data countries such Haiti. This study seeks add more on burden severe...
The International Multi‐Agent Programming Contest (MAPC), is a community‐serving effort to facilitate advances in programming multiagent systems (MASs) by developing benchmark problems, enabling head‐to‐head comparison of MASs, and supporting educational efforts the design implementation MASs.
To determine the appropriate needle length for intramuscular injection of vaccines to early adolescents by measuring muscle depth at deltoid site.Students from Nassau County, New York, and patients attending an adolescent clinic were invited participate. Height, weight, arm circumference measured. BMI percentiles obtained. Depths bone underlying site measured using ultrasonography while area was bunched or flattened. A sufficiently long defined as greater than equal skin-to-muscle plus 5 mm...
Objectives The aim of this study was to describe the variation in antibiotic prescribing practices for uncomplicated community-acquired pneumonia across continuum care hospitalized pediatric patients better inform future efforts at standardizing therapy throughout a single hospitalization. Methods This is retrospective cohort involving 4 hospitals caring children aged 3 months 18 years, between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2012, with diagnosis without complex chronic medical conditions....
We propose an abstraction technique for model checking multi-agent systems given as modular interpreted (MIS) which allow succinct representations of compositional systems. Specifications are arbitrary ATL formulae, i. e., we can reason about strategic abilities groups agents. Our is based on collapsing each agent's local state space with hand-crafted equivalence relations, one per modality. develop a algorithm and prove its soundness. This makes it possible to perform abstractions (which...
Background Neonatal mortality rates in Haiti are among the highest Western hemisphere. Few mothers deliver with a skilled birth attendant present, and there is significant lack of pediatricians. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at St. Damien Pediatric Hospital, national referral center, one only five neonatology departments Haiti. In order to target limited resources toward improving outcomes, this study seeks describe clinical NICU. Methods A retrospective medical record review was...
Abstract Introduction Healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) are major causes of morbidity, mortality, increased lengths stay and an economic burden on healthcare systems in resources-limited settings. This is especially true for neonates, who more susceptible with underdeveloped immune systems. Hand hygiene (HH) a key weapon against HCAI, yet globally, HH compliance remains substandard. study sought to determine the among workers (HCWs) children’s hospital neonatal intensive care unit...
