The document summarizes tissue donation data from surveys conducted in the United States and Canada in 2007 and 2010. Some key findings include:
- In 2007, over 30,000 tissue donors were recovered in the US, with musculoskeletal and soft tissues being the most common. Recovery has increased at healthcare facilities and dedicated suites.
- Canadian and US accredited tissue banks saw decreases in cardiac tissue recovery and processing between 2007-2010 but increases in vascular tissue distribution.
- A proposed strategy outlines ensuring safety, quality, and access to tissue products through effective quality management, optimized recovery and inventory, and partnerships with physicians and researchers.
Gioffrè Gaetano. Le Statine nella Chirurgia non Cardiaca. ASMaD 2012Gianfranco Tammaro
The document discusses the cardioprotective effects of statins through cholesterol-dependent and independent mechanisms. It summarizes evidence that statins reduce peri-procedural myocardial injury following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) through several pleiotropic effects, including reducing inflammation, improving endothelial function, and providing ischemic preconditioning. It recommends starting high-dose statins such as atorvastatin before elective PCI to maximize these benefits. The cardioprotective effects of statins may also be useful in reducing myocardial injury and ischemia during non-cardiac surgery.
This document summarizes the benefits of the TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex skin care product. It claims to activate collagen production, target the skin matrix, help skin recover from daily damage, and restore the skin barrier while sleeping. Clinical studies found that after one week, 70% of women felt their skin looked younger and firmer. After 12 weeks, most women reported reduced signs of aging like expression lines and environmental damage. The product is designed to replenish the skin's dermal matrix and restore its barrier at night.
The document discusses US government pandemic influenza checklists created by the CDC. It provides an overview of the purpose and format of the checklists, which are intended to provide frameworks for action during an influenza pandemic by identifying key planning elements. It notes both strengths, such as involving target audiences in development, and weaknesses, such as not being linked to more detailed toolkits. The presentation emphasizes that pandemic influenza remains a severe public health threat and checklists are important for preparedness.

Francesco Procaccio Italy - Monday 28 - ICU and Organ Donationincucai_isodp
The document discusses the problem of identifying potential organ donors from patients who experience brain death. It notes that many cases of "silent brain death" go unidentified and undeclared, meaning the opportunity for organ donation is missed. Key factors contributing to missed opportunities include inadequate treatment and diagnosis of brain death, as well as personal and organizational attitudes within ICUs. Improving ICU physicians' skills and awareness of organ donation is important to reduce the number of silent brain deaths and increase the number of potential donors.
Transplantation of human tissues and organs is an important lifesaving medical procedure. You’ll hear personal stories from both donors and recipients as well as facts from international medical authorities and learn about organ and tissue donation registries around the world. Make a commitment to become a donor, and learn how you can inspire others in your club and community to do the same.
Attendees will also enjoy a short performance from opera singer and transplant recipient Hae-Chul Lim and a small group of guest vocalists.

What is Infographics?
There are lot of phrase around the term Information graphics like
"Infographics." "Data visualization." "Information design. & “Communication Design"
We're talking about any graphic that displays and explains information, whether that be data or words. When we use the term "data visualization," we're using it as a general term used to describe data presented in a visual way.
Why Infographics?
Infographics are important because they change the way people find and
experience stories especially now, when more and more infographics are being used to augment editorial content on the web. Infographics create a new way of seeing the world of data, and they help communicate complex ideas in a clear and beautiful way.
Organ donation involves removing organs or tissues from a living, dead, or recently deceased person for transplantation into another person. Organs that can be donated include the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, intestines, and pancreas, while tissues include the cornea, skin, bone marrow, heart valves, middle ear, and more. In India, around 6,000 people die each day waiting for organ transplants, with a new person added to the waiting list every 13 minutes. Donating organs can save up to 50 lives, yet the need for organs is still huge.

This document discusses the relationship between science journals, newspapers, and their influence on public perceptions and policy. It notes that preliminary or overly positive results reported in the media can raise false hopes in patients. It emphasizes the need for scientists and researchers to provide full context and limitations when presenting their findings to journalists. Accurate and balanced reporting is important to avoid misinforming the public or policymakers.
Bioresorbable stents are designed to revascularize the vessel like a metallic stent and then naturally resorb into the body, leaving no permanent implant. Key considerations in design include providing sufficient radial strength and scaffolding for 3-4 months to allow the vessel to stabilize, while degrading fully within 2-3 years. Early generation designs aimed to reduce inflammation and future need for antiplatelet therapy compared to permanent stents. Later designs have explored mechanical conditioning of the vessel and restoring natural vascular function through gradual resorption of the scaffold. Tradeoffs exist between degradation timelines and maintaining radial support, deliverability and conformability.

CREATING STEMI AND CARDIAC RESUSCITATION SYSTEMS OF CARE AND IMPROVING EXISTING ONES.
Each year, more than half a million Americans experience ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), out-of-hospital cardiac arrest or both. The majority of these patients fail to receive appropriate treatment for their life-threatening conditions within recommended timeframes.
Mission: Lifeline® was created by the American Heart Association as a response to missed opportunities for prompt, appropriate STEMI treatment. Recently, Mission: Lifeline expanded to help existing STEMI systems of care incorporate out-of-hospital cardiac resuscitation into their systems.
Cardiac resuscitation can make a lifesaving difference.
Seventy percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients have identified coronary vascular disease, and 50 percent have STEMI.
Without prompt cardiac resuscitation, many of the STEMI patients who could potentially benefit from a coordinated STEMI system of care might not survive long enough to enter the system.
That makes cardiac resuscitation a vital component in STEMI systems of care, as well as a key intervention across the full spectrum of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. For that reason, Mission: Lifeline® now offers established STEMI systems of care the opportunity to incorporate cardiac resuscitation.

The document discusses Australia seeking national self-sufficiency in organ transplantation through various achievements and responsibilities. It outlines capacities needed including legislation, healthcare facilities, human resources, and regional cooperation. It also discusses opportunities for care like education, screening, and prevention for conditions requiring organ transplantation. Charts show the numbers of patients with kidney disease on dialysis, listed for transplant, receiving deceased donor organs, and being transplanted.
Jeremy Chapman - Australia - Tuesday 29 - Hematopoietic Stem Cellsincucai_isodp
This document summarizes research on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It finds that only a small percentage of minority patients receive bone marrow transplants due to a lack of compatible donors. Outcomes depend on disease stage and HLA matching, with lower risk disease having better outcomes with a single HLA mismatch. Cord blood transplants show promise as an alternative to bone marrow, especially for children, though cell dose and HLA matching impact outcomes. Larger studies are needed to better understand long-term effects.

The document contains several charts and graphs showing trends in acceptance of brain death and organ donation in Korea over time. The charts show acceptance has increased from the 1990s to 2010 according to several studies. Additional charts and graphs show regional differences in organ procurement coordinator staffing and the number of education visits to hospitals over time. Final charts examine attitudes toward organ donation among medical professionals, finding neurosurgeons have more positive views while ICU nurses have more negative or unsure views.
Jongwon Ha - Korea - Wednesday 30 - Oral Presentations Misc. Cincucai_isodp
The document discusses the establishment of the Korea Organ Donation Agency (KODA) as the national organ procurement organization in Korea. KODA was established in 2009 to help improve organ donation rates by taking over responsibilities for organ procurement from hospitals and establishing a dedicated network of organ procurement coordinators. Since its founding, KODA has increased education for donation professionals, improved donor identification and management processes, and seen a significant rise in annual organ donors in Korea. However, the document also notes there are still some conflicts around incentives and referral processes that need further improvement.
The document discusses organ donation rates in the Madeira Archipelago from 1995 to 2010. It describes an EU-funded training program implemented from 2007 to 2009 that included seminars on organ donation basics for healthcare professionals. After the training, the number of organ donors increased from 6 in 2009 to 9 by 2010, and the donation rate rose from 12 donors per million people to 36 donors per million people. The training program was effective at increasing organ donation in the region.
This document discusses how an organ procurement organization (OPO) implemented an effective donation after cardiac death (DCD) program, which increased organ donation and transplantation rates. Key aspects of the program included educating hospital staff on DCD policies and procedures, establishing clear donation pathways and communication processes, and responding rapidly to potential DCD cases. As a result of this program, DCD donors increased from 1% of total donors in 1995 to 22% in 2010, demonstrating the positive impact an effective DCD program can have.
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 40 religious officials in Istanbul on their views of organ donation and transplantation. The survey found that the officials had varying levels of knowledge on the topics, with most knowledge coming from television, radio, or publications from the Directorate of Religious Affairs. While 80% said they would not consider organ donation, the majority believed it was acceptable according to Islam. Officials proposed that religious leaders should educate the public and set an example to increase interest in donation. The conclusion calls for more cooperation between health, legal, and religious groups to address religious concerns and increase donations.
1. The document discusses a qualitative study conducted in Rotterdam, Netherlands to investigate views on living kidney donation and transplantation among ethnic minority groups.
2. Focus group discussions and interviews were held with 50 participants from various ethnic backgrounds. Religion was not seen as an obstacle to donation by participants but lack of awareness in their communities was an issue.
3. The study results informed the development of a home-based educational intervention program currently being evaluated in a randomized controlled trial to increase living kidney donation and transplantation among ethnic minorities.
The document analyzes and compares the legal frameworks governing organ and tissue transplantation in Latin American countries. Most countries have laws addressing consent to donation, determining death, living donation, and foreign patients. Consent policies range from familial consent to presumed consent. Death determination policies specify medical diagnostic criteria or rely on medical protocols. Living donation policies allow related or unrelated donors, with some establishing donor preferences. Ecuador uniquely mandates inclusion of foreign patients on waiting lists. Harmonization efforts aim to develop coherent legal frameworks and cooperation agreements across countries.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Have you ever been confused by the myriad of choices offered by AWS for hosting a website or an API?
Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail, Amplify, S3 (and more!) can each host websites + APIs. But which one should we choose?
Which one is cheapest? Which one is fastest? Which one will scale to meet our needs?
Join me in this session as we dive into each AWS hosting service to determine which one is best for your scenario and explain why!
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
