Models and Model Transformations Within Web Applications
2016
Unlike traditional single-user desktop applications, web applications have separated memory and computational resources (the client and the server side) and have to deal with multiple user accounts. This complicates the development process. Is there some approach of creating web applications without thinking about web-specific aspects, as if we are developing stand-alone desktop applications? We say, “yes”, and that is where models and model transformations come in handy. The proposed model-driven approach simplifies the development of web applications and makes it possible to use a single code base for deploying both desktop and web-based versions of the software.
A Direct Comparison of Seprafilm, Adept, Intercoat, and Spraygel for Adhesion Prophylaxis
2010
Background Commercially available agents for adhesion prophylaxis are legion but there is a lack of direct comparisons between them. Here we compare four of the most commonly used adhesion barriers against a control group in a clinically relevant rat model. Material and Methods Standardized lesions were created in Wistar rats using electrocautery and suturing. Subsequently, the experimental lesions were treated with Seprafilm (n = 30), Adept (n = 30), Intercoat (n = 30), Spraygel (n = 30), or no barrier (n = 30). The resulting adhesions were examined 14 d postoperatively. Results The mean area covered by adhesion was 77% in the control group, 46% in animals treated with Seprafilm, 54% in an…
The incidence of hip fractures in Norway –accuracy of the national Norwegian patient registry
2014
Background Hip fractures incur the greatest medical costs of any fracture. Valid epidemiological data are important to monitor for time-dependent changes. In Norway, hip fractures are registered in the Norwegian Patient Registry (NPR), but no published national validation exists. The aim of the present study was a national validation of NPR as a register for hip fractures using diagnostic codes (ICD-10 S 72.0-2) and/or procedure codes (NOMESCO version 1.14 NFBxy (x = 0-9, y = 0-2) or NFJxy (x = 0-9, y = 0-2). Method A nationwide, population-based cohort comprising a random sub-sample of 1,000 hip fracture-related entries for the years 2008–09 was drawn from the NPR. 200 entries were defined…
Drug safety related to agents used for opioid maintenance therapy
2017
IntroductionThere is only little data regarding drug safety related to agents used for opioid maintenance therapy (OMT).Objectives/aimsTo study drug safety and the reporting behaviour of adverse drug reactions (ADR) related to OMT.MethodsA cross-sectional questionnaire-based telephone survey among physicians providing outpatient OMT in a federal state of Germany (n = 176; response rate = 55.7%) was conducted.ResultsMost of the respondents (n = 97/55.1%) reported that they observe ADR related to buprenorphine, [dihydro]codein and [levo]methdone rarely (n = 38/21.6%), very rarely (n = 39/22.2%) or never (n = 20/11.4%). Methadone was reported to be most frequently associated with the occurrenc…
The erector spinae plane block: a narrative review
2019
Regional anesthesia and pain management have experienced advances in recent years, especially with the advent of fascial plane blocks. The erector spinae plane block is one of the newest techniques to be described. In the past two years, publications referring to ESP block have increased significantly. The objective of this review is to analyze the articles about ESP block that have been published to date. We performed a search in the main databases and identified 368 articles. After a selection of the relevant articles, 125 studies were found eligible and were included in the review. The ESP block is performed by depositing the local anesthetic in the fascial plane, deeper than the erector…
Impact of a physician-targeted letter on opioid prescribing.
2020
We study the effect of a physician-targeted nudge letter on opioid prescribing. In May 2017, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland sent a personal information letter to all physicians who had issued a prescription containing at least 100 tablets of paracetamol-codeine combination to a new patient. The aim of the letter was to draw the physicians’ attention to their prescribing practices and to decrease the size of the first codeine prescription. Using individual level register data and a difference-in-differences strategy, we estimate that the letter decreased the average number of tablets purchased by new patients by 12.5 percent and the probability of a first purchase being at least…
Evolución comparativa del discurso dominante del desarrollo en materia migratoria desde 2008 en el contexto de la crisis global en España y Costa Ric…
2015
La crisis financiera internacional, que desde 2008 está arrastrando a muchos países supuestamente desarrollados hacia la pobreza y está hundiendo aún más profundamente a los países tradicionalmente considerados como subdesarrollados, está dando lugar a una nueva situación de indefensión de millones de personas ante la constante especulación de los mercados. Al mismo tiempo la misma crisis está impulsando los beneficios de las élites financieras, las cuales continúan haciendo negocio con la deuda de los nuevos países en quiebra y con la de los países del Sur que profundizan dramáticamente sus índices de pobreza, dando lugar a nuevas y diferentes fluctuaciones migratorias en todo el mundo. En…
Zur Sprache des deutschen Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuches : wie fest sind die Mehrwortverbindungen im BGB?
2015
On the language of the German Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch: How stable are the multiword expressions in the Civil Code? The aim of this paper is to characterize the language of the German Civil Code with a focus on multiword expressions, exploring how common these multiword expressions are in modern German and examining their replacement by other combinations. The analysis focuses on the relative stability of these expressions in the sense of Kjær (1992 and 1994)
"Janie do Cię wracamy w czarnoleskie lipy". Polskie tradycje źródłowe w odmianach literacko-kulturowej współczesności (wybory - powtórzenia - różnice)
2018
The subject of the article - developed through the literary and cultural contexts of contemporary literature - concentrates mainly on different forms of the presence of tradition (targeting the Romantic one as key and the Old Polish as the subsequent one). A look at the styles and tones of the literature-"thriving" languages of these traditions allows us to see these traditions in a different critical light (national symbols/Polish signs/patters/transformations).
Necesidad de tratamiento ortodóncico e impacto psicosocial de la estética dental en los adolescentes de la Comunidad Valenciana (2010)
2014
La Conferencia de Alma Ata sobre Atención Primaria de Salud en 1978 declaró que ''la salud es un estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y el bienestar social y no una mera ausencia de enfermedades o dolencias''. La maloclusión se ha asociado con problemas psicosociales derivados de una estética dentofacial deficiente, alteraciones funcionales en los casos más extremos (puede verse alterada el habla, la masticación y la articulación temporo-mandibular, entre otras) y una mayor susceptibilidad de desarrollar enfermedad periodontal, caries o sufrir traumatismos dentales; así, debe ser considerada como un problema de salud. La maloclusión no es una enfermedad en el sentido estricto por lo …
