Download or read book Urinary Tract Anomalies and Infections in Children ECAB written by Arvind Bagga and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urinary tract disorders, be they anomalies or infections, are an important cause of acute and long-term morbidity in children. These conditions need prompt diagnosis and management, not only to relieve the acute morbidity, but also to prevent the long-term renal damage. This makes diagnostic and therapeutic issues concerning these conditions very important. The most common urinary problem encountered in children is urinary tract infection (UTI), which is usually bacterial in origin. Urinalysis and culture play an important role in the diagnosis of this condition. The treatment consists of prompt and specific antibiotic therapy followed by genitourinary imaging in high risk patients to detect underlying urinary tract anomalies. Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) is characterized by retrograde flow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys, thereby predisposing it to UTI, and the two conditions together are believed to be associated with renal nephropathy. Patients with VUR have an increased risk of developing hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy, and significant renal damage, including end-stage renal disease subsequently in life. Based on the current literature, the author has enumerated various treatment options available for the different grades of VUR. The urinary bladder is meant to function as a storage organ for urine that empties completely in an appropriate time and place. Any disorder that results involuntary passage of urine or inability to void to completion constitutes bladder dysfunction. Bladder dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for UTI and VUR, and a cause for enuresis with daytime symptoms. Its diagnosis requires detailed clinical history and examination, non-invasive urodynamic tests, frequency volume charts, and abdominal ultrasonography to predict the type of bladder dysfunction. The author has emphasized on the importance of multidisciplinary approach in its management, comprising of medications, treatment of any underlying cause, scheduled voiding regimen, clean intermittent catheterization, positive reinforcement and where necessary, biofeedback strategies. The book also contains a chapter on the management and long-term outcome of common kidney and urinary tract anomalies detected on antenatal screening such as unilateral or bilateral hydronephrosis, multicystic dysplastic kidneys, and posterior urethral valves.

Download or read book The Multi Agent Transport Simulation MATSim written by Andreas Horni and published by Ubiquity Press. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MATSim (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation) software project was started around 2006 with the goal of generating traffic and congestion patterns by following individual synthetic travelers through their daily or weekly activity programme. It has since then evolved from a collection of stand-alone C++ programs to an integrated Java-based framework which is publicly hosted, open-source available, automatically regression tested. It is currently used by about 40 groups throughout the world. This book takes stock of the current status. The first part of the book gives an introduction to the most important concepts, with the intention of enabling a potential user to set up and run basic simulations. The second part of the book describes how the basic functionality can be extended, for example by adding schedule-based public transit, electric or autonomous cars, paratransit, or within-day replanning. For each extension, the text provides pointers to the additional documentation and to the code base. It is also discussed how people with appropriate Java programming skills can write their own extensions, and plug them into the MATSim core. The project has started from the basic idea that traffic is a consequence of human behavior, and thus humans and their behavior should be the starting point of all modelling, and with the intuition that when simulations with 100 million particles are possible in computational physics, then behavior-oriented simulations with 10 million travelers should be possible in travel behavior research. The initial implementations thus combined concepts from computational physics and complex adaptive systems with concepts from travel behavior research. The third part of the book looks at theoretical concepts that are able to describe important aspects of the simulation system; for example, under certain conditions the code becomes a Monte Carlo engine sampling from a discrete choice model. Another important aspect is the interpretation of the MATSim score as utility in the microeconomic sense, opening up a connection to benefit cost analysis. Finally, the book collects use cases as they have been undertaken with MATSim. All current users of MATSim were invited to submit their work, and many followed with sometimes crisp and short and sometimes longer contributions, always with pointers to additional references. We hope that the book will become an invitation to explore, to build and to extend agent-based modeling of travel behavior from the stable and well tested core of MATSim documented here.

Download or read book Hospitals and Borders written by Centers of Disease Control and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2013 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines why hospitals collaborate with each other and with other health care actors across borders in Europe. Cross-border hospital collaboration is not a new phenomenon but began to receive increased attention in the first decade of the 21st century in the context of European debates on patient mobility, the impact of European Union (EU) integration on national health systems and the particular situation of border regions. In this context, the role of health care providers stands out: while physically anchored in the health system that funds and regulates them, hospitals in border regions often witness or initiate cross-border movements of patients and health professionals.
