Industry trends are impacting cardiovascular services, clinical IT needs and solutions are evolving, and Cardiology IT needs are changing. What does this all mean for cardiologists and patient care?
In most hospitals, the perioperative department drives the lion’s share of revenues-typically around 50-60%-while contributing 30-40% of the costs.1 Those costs largely reflect supply consumption. According to one study, supply costs accounted for 56 % of the total expense budget for a perioperative department, exceeding salary costs by more than 20%. 2
Facing major capital and operational budget pressure, most healthcare organizations are seeking more effective ways to reduce OR supply costs while preserving or even improving patient safety, operational efficiency, and staff productivity.
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) facilitate fast and accurate access to patient
records, which could improve diagnosis and patient monitoring. Using a 12-year county-
level panel, we nd that a 10 percent increase in births that occur in hospitals with
EMRs reduces neonatal mortality by 16 deaths per 100,000 live births. This is driven
by a reduction of deaths from conditions requiring careful monitoring. We also nd a
strong decrease in mortality when we instrument for EMRs adoption using variation in
state medical privacy laws. Rough cost-eectiveness calculations suggest that EMRs
are associated with a cost of $531,000 per baby's life saved.
This document discusses how River Oaks Hospital in Flowood, Mississippi uses GE Healthcare's Centricity Perinatal electronic documentation system in their neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
