Accessing Patient Records in Virtual Healthcare Organisations
No full textThe ARTEMIS project is developing a semantic web service based P2P interoperability infrastructure for healthcare information systems that will allow healthcare providers to securely share patient records within virtual healthcare organisations. Authorisation decisions to access patient records across organisation boundaries can be very dynamic and must occur within a strict legislative framework. In ARTEMIS we are developing a dynamic authorisation mechanism called PBAC that provides a means of contextual and process oriented access control to enforce healthcare business processes. PBAC demonstrates how healthcare providers can dynamically share patient records for care pathways across organisation boundaries
Early haemodynamic changes observed in patients with epilepsy, in a visual experiment and in simulations
No full textObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate whether previously reported early blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) changes in epilepsy could occur as a result of the modelling techniques rather than physiological changes.MethodsEEG-fMRI data were analysed from seven patients with focal epilepsy, six control subjects undergoing a visual experiment, in addition to simulations. In six separate analyses the event timing was shifted by either −9,−6,−3,+3,+6 or +9 s relative to the onset of the interictal epileptiform discharge (IED) or stimulus.ResultsThe visual dataset and simulations demonstrated an overlap between modelled haemodynamic response function (HRF) at event onset and at ±3 s relative to onset, which diminished at ±6 s. Pre-spike analysis at −6 s improved concordance with the assumed IED generating lobe relative to the standard HRF in 43% of patients.ConclusionThe visual and simulated dataset findings indicate a form of “temporal bleeding”, an overlap between the modelled HRF at time 0 and at ±3 s which attenuated at ±6 s. Pre-spike analysis at −6 s may improve concordance.SignificanceThis form of analysis should be performed at 6 s prior to onset of IED to minimise temporal bleeding effect. The results support the presence of relevant BOLD responses occurring prior to IEDs

Aspects of Ordovician glacial deposits in southern Saudi Arabia
No full textIn southern Saudi Arabia, the Sanamah Formation is of Ordovician or Early Silurian age. Its deposits are mainly found in channels incised into the underlying Cambrian – Ordovician sediments. The channel fill consists of red conglomeratic sandstone with rounded to well-rounded quartz pebbles and cobbles. Repeatedly, large angular clasts of friable, coarse-grained sandstone have been observed in the conglomerates. Above these sediments, there is a succession of light-coloured sandstones, which show almost no internal structure. On outcrop scale, however, it is evident that the sandstones and the conglomerates were deposited in giant foresets comparable to coarse-grained deltas. Above this succession and onlapping the confining borderlands of the valleys are conglomeratic sandstones, badly sorted and with striated clasts. In several sections, striations have been found in the friable sandstones, locally 5 horizons within 40 m of section, that closely resemble glacial striations carved onto hard rock such as basement. We question whether such striations are evidence of direct glacial contact with the sediment. Although there is no doubt that the Sanamah Formation represents a proglacial to periglacial depositional environment, we will discuss the general palaeogeography in which the Sanamah Formation was deposited, why so many features are different from the modern analogues, and why the Sanamah Formation is restricted to broad channels probably draining the Arabian Shield as a hinterland. Finally, we will propose a new model for the generation and preservation of multiple levels of glacial striations in soft sediment
