Lessons Learned from the DICOM Standardization Effort Lessons Learned from ...MedicineAndDermatology
DICOM is an international standard for communicating medical imaging information and related data between devices. It has been developed over 18 years through collaboration between industry and clinical experts. Maintaining and evolving standards like DICOM requires significant organizational infrastructure and ongoing effort. Key aspects of the DICOM standard include its use of tagged data elements, object orientation, network services, privacy/security features, and support for structured reporting.
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating beyond what is required for normal thermal regulation. Primary focal hyperhidrosis is idiopathic sweating of the axillae, palms, soles, or craniofacial region that begins in childhood, is bilateral and symmetric, and significantly impacts quality of life. It affects approximately 1-3% of the population. Effective treatment options include topical agents, iontophoresis, botulinum toxin injections, sweat gland resection, and endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy.

The document discusses cutaneous manifestations of genetic diseases in children. It provides examples of different patterns of cutaneous mosaicism and genetic conditions that present with cutaneous findings such as neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis complex, ectodermal dysplasia, and epidermolysis bullosa. It emphasizes recognizing these conditions through skin findings in order to properly diagnose and manage children with genetic diseases. Contact information is provided for the speaker to obtain further guidance.
The document discusses using topic modeling techniques to cluster and classify records from multiple OAI repositories to enhance metadata and subject descriptions. Key steps included preprocessing records, building a vocabulary, running topic modeling to generate 500 topics, organizing topics into broad topical categories, and developing a browser to explore topics and records. Evaluation of the techniques found it worked well for English repositories but requires more testing on other languages and repository types. Potential products and services are proposed like integrating the topics into OAIster for subject search and browse.
This document summarizes a presentation on measuring outpatient healthcare use in the VA system. It discusses challenges in measurement, key VA outpatient databases, and strategies for evaluating different aspects of outpatient care such as procedures, provider specialty, and care over time. The Medical SAS outpatient datasets and DSS National Data Extract files are described as primary sources for measuring outpatient use. Examples are provided on how to identify outpatient surgeries, comorbidities, and care that overlaps with inpatient stays.
The document discusses strategies for healthcare providers to obtain National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) for individuals and organizations. It covers assessing which providers need NPIs, the two types of enumeration for people and organizations, and methods for applying including paper, web, and electronic bulk filing. Key recommendations include having employed providers obtain their own NPI to reinforce ownership, establishing deadlines for requiring NPIs, and working with payers to determine appropriate subpart enumeration schemes.

The document discusses community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), including common pathogens, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. The most common pathogens for typical CAP are Streptococcus pneumoniae, while atypical CAP is commonly caused by organisms such as influenza virus, Mycoplasma, and Chlamydia. Signs and symptoms include cough, fever, chills, dyspnea, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves a chest x-ray and labs such as a complete blood count and sputum/blood cultures. Treatment depends on severity and location (outpatient vs inpatient), but generally includes macrolides, fluoroquinolones, or doxycycline.
This document summarizes common pediatric skin conditions. It provides questions and answers about various rashes, lesions, and fungal/bacterial infections that may present in children. Specific conditions discussed include atopic dermatitis, pityriasis alba, lichen striatus, nummular eczema, psoriasis, molluscum contagiosum, tinea capitis, and lichen sclerosis et atrophicus. Treatment options are also summarized for each condition.
This document summarizes common pediatric skin conditions. It describes erythema toxicum neonatorum, a harmless rash seen in most newborns; milia, tiny cysts seen on the faces of many neonates; miliaria, a sweat rash that can present as tiny vesicles or red macules; napkin dermatitis or nappy rash, which can have multiple causes including candidiasis, bacterial infection, or zinc deficiency; seborrhoeic dermatitis, a common rash affecting the scalp and skin folds of infants; and scabies, a highly itchy rash caused by mite infestation.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects the central nervous system and is characterized by demyelination of nerve fibers. It commonly presents with neurological symptoms such as visual disturbances, weakness, and impaired coordination. The cause is unknown but likely involves genetic and environmental factors. Diagnosis involves MRI imaging showing lesions in the brain and spinal cord, along with ruling out other potential causes. While there is no cure, treatments can help reduce symptoms and frequency of attacks. Managing MS is challenging and often involves multiple medications with total annual costs that can exceed $30,000.
A college student presented to the emergency room with a fever, malaise, cough, and rash, which are symptoms characteristic of measles. Measles is highly contagious but cases have declined in the US due to aggressive vaccination programs from the late 1980s onward. A physical exam found a rash on the student's face, chest, stomach, and thighs. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of measles antibodies, leading to a diagnosis of measles. The student was given intravenous fluids and antipyretics and discharged with instructions on self-care after the illness resolved.
THE TAPE STRIPPING TECHNIQUE TO QUANTIFY DRUGS THROUGH OUT THE SKIN THE TAP...MedicineAndDermatology
The tape stripping technique is used to quantify drug penetration through the skin by removing sequential layers of the stratum corneum with adhesive tape. It has various applications including studying kinetics and penetration depth of drugs through the skin. The technique is versatile and can be used to evaluate topical and transdermal drugs, as well as the effects of formulations and penetration enhancers on drug absorption. It provides concentration profiles of drugs across the stratum corneum layers that can be analyzed.

Silverlight 4 offers the ability to initialize and use COM+ classes from Silverlight. It should be noted that these features are only available in elevated privileges Out-Of-Browser mode and are not available in-browser. In Silverlight 4 Com+ Automation only works on Windows machines (but more on that later). The majority of work around Silverlight 4 COM+ support is centered around the ComAutomationFactory and ComAutomationEvent classes. Freaked out? Get over it. Silverlight 4 COM+ Automation is not about authoring, deploying or versioning COM+ components, that is a worst practice for this feature. The best practice for Silverlight 4 COM+ is to only use common operating system COM+ classes, and not ship your own.Given that best practice, you are just the consumer of some time tested Windows APIs. Using COM+ Windows APIs is no different then consuming the .Net framework, 3rd party frameworks or p/Invoke features.

COM+ Automation isn’t supported for Macs in Silverlight 4. For a good reason, Mac doesn’t have COM+. However, Microsoft have stated they are looking into getting COM+ support working in Silverlight 4 RTM on a Mac.Macs have similar programmatic access to COM known as AppleScript. It’s not that hard to read once you remove the added spaces and add some indents. Once you get past the syntax, it’s easy to see those are the same classes and members on a Mac as are available for Windows. The point here is that if Microsoft wants to enable Com Automation-like features on a Mac there are 2 options: 1) Enable executing AppleScripts.This option will let us have the same amount of control on a mac machine as we do on a windows machine. 2) Add an overload to ComAutomationFactory.CreateObject() that calls the “Tell Application” command under the scenes and gets a AppleScript object. This option would work extremely well for Office automation. For any other operating system feature, you’ll have to code OS access twice.
