Differential Effect of Glycosylated Hemoglobin Value and Antidiabetic Treatment on the Risk of 30-day Readmission Following a Hospitalization for Acu…
2015
In patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes, low glycosylated hemoglobin has been related with higher risk of mortality but information regarding morbidity is scarce. We sought to evaluate the association between glycosylated hemoglobin and 30-day readmission in patients with type 2 diabetes and acute heart failure.Glycosylated hemoglobin was measured before discharge in 835 consecutive patients with acute heart failure and type 2 diabetes. Cox regression analysis adapted for competing events was used.Mean (standard deviation) age was 72.9 (9.6) years and median glycosylated hemoglobin was 7.2% (6.5%-8.0%). Patients treated with insulin or insulin/sulfonylurea/meglitinides were 41.1%…
Long-term outcomes in men and women with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and incomplete reperfusion after a primary percutaneous coronary …
2019
Background The failure of reperfusion therapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is more frequent than considered previously. Aim To evaluate sex-related differences in long-term outcomes in patients with STEMI and incomplete infarct-related artery reperfusion after a primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients and methods Of consecutive 42 752 patients with STEMI hospitalized between 2009 and 2011 in Poland, we analyzed a group of 766 (35%) women and 1453 (65%) men with less than thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 following a primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Results In the 2-year follow-up, the mortality rate among…
Radio network aspects
2006
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the mobile radio access network reference scenarios (MORANS)—used to study the performance of the radio cellular networks related to UMTS and the methodologies for the radio network performance evaluation, including the theoretical connectivity models,. It discusses the techniques for radio network optimization such as the packet scheduling for cellular systems or system capacity maximization through the use of multiple antennas. . In order to perform system simulations, reference values for the main parameters characterizing a WCDMA network, are required. MORANS is used for the identification of such parameters. The parameters are classified in two gr…
Multicast access control concept for xDSL-customers
2006
Multicast is a tempting possibility for many broad- band services. It makes possible to deliver one data-stream to several receivers simultaneously. IP-Multicast is based on an open group concept. This means that it is possible for all the users to join the group and thus receive the data. The open concept is also the main reason why multicast has not been taken in wider use. There is two different solution to solve this problem, group access control and multicast data encryption. Group access control mechanisms focuses on restricting the group membership at the users edge device. Traffic encryption scheme relies on end-to-end encryption, so a key management architecture is also needed. We …
Quality of Service Multicasting over Differentiated Services Networks
2003
This paper proposes a solution to support real-time multicast traffic with Quality of Service (QoS) constraints over Differentiated Services (DiffServ) IP networks. Our solution allows multicast users to dynamically join and leave the multicast tree. Moreover, it allows a multicast user which has negotiated a best-effort session to upgrade to a QoS-enabled session. Our solution is backward compatible with the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) scheme. It combines two ideas. First, resource availability along a new QoS path is verified via a probe-based approach. Second, QoS is maintained by marking replicated packets with a special DSCP value, before forwarding them on the QoS path.
Unemployment and health in Spain
1994
We present the results of a study on the association between unemployment and health and the use of health services, exploring the influence of the socio-economic environment on these relationships. With this aim, data from the Spanish National Health Survey (SNHS) were used. Health was measured by subjective health status, presence of chronic illnesses and psychological symptoms. The use of health services was measured by drug consumption (over the counter and/or prescribed drugs), doctor consultation, hospital admission and casualty attendance. A total of 13,344 individuals aged between 16 and 65 years were included. Results were analysed for all of Spain and for 3 regions with different …

Sensitivity Analysis Of Key Customers And Revenue-Oriented Admission Control And Scheduling Algorithm
2013
Received: 15 January 2013 Abstract Accepted: 2 February 2013 The paper deals with the problem of Quality of Web Service (QoWS) in e-commerce Web servers, i.e. in retail Web stores. It concerns the admission control and scheduling algorithm for a Web server system, which aims at preventing the system from overload to provide high QoWS level and ultimately, to increase Web site’s conversion rate, i.e. to turn more visitors into customers. The sensitivity of the algorithm to changes in its basic parameter values was analyzed by using a simulation-based approach. Special attention was paid to evaluation of the parameter impact on conventional and business-related system performance metrics.
An international perspective on hospitalized patients with viral community-acquired pneumonia
2019
Background Who should be tested for viruses in patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP), prevalence and risk factors for viral CAP are still debated. We evaluated the frequency of viral testing, virus prevalence, risk factors and treatment coverage with oseltamivir in patients admitted for CAP. Methods Secondary analysis of GLIMP, an international, multicenter, point-prevalence study of hospitalized adults with CAP. Testing frequency, prevalence of viral CAP and treatment with oseltamivir were assessed among patients who underwent a viral swab. Univariate and multivariate analysis was used to evaluate risk factors. Results 553 (14.9%) patients with CAP underwent nasal swab. Viral CA…
