    A successful model of regional healthcare information exchange in Japan: Case Study in Kagawa Prefecture

    No full text
    In this study, we focused on analysis of healthcare data exchange over the network. For the advance of broadband capability development, many governments expect online medical information exchange between medical institutions. Japanese government also has tried to deploy ICT in the healthcare field. In Japan, many healthcare ICT projects started, but almost of all the projects face many issues and failed to continue. This situation caused us to clarify the success factor of healthcare information exchange network. For inspecting the success factors, we analyzed information access of healthcare systems in Kagawa prefecture of Japan. Kagawa prefecture is one of the most advance areas for healthcare information technology. We analyzed four medical ICT projects in Kagawa prefecture: K-MIX, Critical Pathway for Diabetes, E-prescription, and PHR. In addition, we inspected characteristics of exchanged data in the network, and stakeholder involved in these projects. This analysis lets us find various types of healthcare ICT projects. Characteristic of data processed in the projects caused differences of characteristic of the projects. On the other hand, multiple systems process same data, though the project does not share the data itself. Considering various types of medical information exchanges projects, we propose classification and standard format of exchanged data according to their characteristic are critical for efficient business deployment. --e-Health,regional healthcare information exchange,EHR

    El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo dise\uf1ar una gu\ueda instruccional sobre la visita domiciliaria dirigida a los estudiantes del Programa de Enfermer\ueda del Decanato de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado. Metodol\uf3gicamente se enmarca dentro de la modalidad de proyecto factible y apoyado en una investigaci\uf3n de campo tipo descriptivo. La muestra estuvo conformada por el 100% de la poblaci\uf3n, es decir cuarenta (40) estudiantes del VI Semestre de Enfermer\ueda. Para recolectar la informaci\uf3n se aplic\uf3 un cuestionario estructurado en diecis\ue9is (16) \uedtems con respuestas dicot\uf3micas. La validez del mismo se realiz\uf3 a trav\ue9s de la t\ue9cnica de juicio de expertos y se determin\uf3 su confiabilidad a trav\ue9s del coeficiente K de Richardson, los resultados demostraron que la escala es altamente confiable, obteni\ue9ndose un valor de 0.97. Para el an\ue1lisis de los datos se utilizaron los elementos de la estad\uedstica descriptiva y se presentaron en cuadros y gr\ue1ficos de barras. Entre las conclusiones se determin\uf3 que la propuesta representa una opci\uf3n viable en formato atractivo al ritmo de los cambios tecnol\uf3gicos y cient\uedficos para buscar, seleccionar e interpretar de manera cr\uedtica la promoci\uf3n de la salud dado que la visita domiciliaria implica la participaci\uf3n de la enfermera basada en m\ue9todos y t\ue9cnicas pr\ue1cticas a partir de la revalorizaci\uf3n del proceso educativo. Se recomend\uf3 utilizar la gu\ueda instruccional para atender a las personas con una visi\uf3n hol\uedstic

    LEAP-ASIA-2019 Simulation Exercise: Calibration of Constitutive Models and Simulations of the Element Tests

    No full text
    This chapter presents a summary of the calibration exercises (i.e., element test simulations) submitted by nine numerical simulation teams that participated in the LEAP-ASIA-2019 prediction campaign. The standard sand selected for the campaign is Ottawa F-65, and researchers have developed several efforts to increase the database of laboratory tests to characterize the physical and mechanical properties of this sand (Carey TJ, Stone N, Kutter BL, Grain Size Analysis and Maximum and Minimum Dry Density of Ottawa F-65 Sand for LEAP-UCD-2017.

The objective of this element test simulation exercise is to assess the performance of the constitutive models used by the simulation teams for simulating the experimental results of a series of undrained stress-controlled cyclic torsional shear tests on Ottawa F-65 sand for two different relative densities (Dr = 50% and 60%) (Ueda K, Vargas RR, Uemura K, LEAP-Asia-2018: Stress-strain response of Ottawa sand in Cyclic Torsional Shear Tests, DesignSafe-CI [publisher], Dataset, https://doi.org/10.17603/DS2D40H, 2018; Vargas RR, Ueda K, Uemura K, Soil Dyn Earthq Eng 133:106111, 2020; Vargas RR, Ueda K, Uemura K, Dynamic torsional shear tests of Ottawa F-65 sand for LEAP-ASIA-2019. Model tests and numerical simulations of liquefaction and lateral spreading: LEAP-ASIA-2019, Springer, 2023). The simulated liquefaction strength curves demonstrate that majority of the constitutive models are capable of reasonably capturing the measured liquefaction strength curves both for Dr = 50% and 60%. However, the simulated stress paths and stress-strain relationships show some differences from the corresponding laboratory tests in some cases

    Amplitud de la adrenalectom\ueda para neoplasia suprarrenal: adrenalectom\ueda que respeta la capa cortical (subtotal) en comparaci\uf3n con adrenalectom\ueda total

    No full text
    La operaci\uf3n est\ue1ndar para las neoplasias suprarrenales es la adrenalectom\ueda completa. Las excepciones aceptadas son los feocromocitomas heredados bilaterales. En estos casos, se puede lograr la curaci\uf3n qu\uedmica y bioqu\uedmica, as\ued como la preservaci\uf3n de la funci\uf3n cortical, por medio de una adrenalectom\ueda no completa. En ese procedimiento, al menos un tercio de una gl\ue1ndula tiene que ser preservada. En los tumores suprarrenales unilaterales, se ha utilizado la resecci\uf3n parcial, sobre todo en adenomas de Conn, con resultados iniciales semejantes a los de adrenalectom\ueda total. Como los resultados a largo plazo est\ue1n todav\ueda limitados en el hiperaldosteronismo, en la actualidad no es posible obtener conclusiones finale

    Who Is Ms. K?: The Identity of a Christian Widow Who Was a Devoted Volunteer Home-Helper in Post-War Japan

    No full text
    Abstract In 1974 Yoshimasa Takeuchi wrote a paper about a woman he called Ms. K who lived in Ueda City. The present paper examines the role that Ms. K played as a pioneer home-helper in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, which is the birthplace of home-help services in Japan. The author visited Ueda City about 25 times to collect data and conduct interviews, and gathered and analyzed information about Ms. K. On August 16, 2007, the author was able to interview a woman named "Y" residing in Ueda City who, the author believes, was the subject of Takeuchi's study. Furthermore, on August 15 and 17, 2007, the author met Takeuchi and confirmed the content of Takeuchi's paper, along with details of the situation at the time of his writing. The author's research led to conclusions that were quite different from what was found by previous studies. This paper points out contradictions between Takeuchi's description of Ms. K and the new facts found by the author as follows:1)Ms. K, who was regarded as a model home-helper, was the second daughter of Donpuu Kaneko, Ms. Y.2)Because Ms. Y began volunteering as a home-helper in 1959, and the services had started in 1956 in Ueda City, we cannot call her the inaugurator of the system.3)Ms. Y asserted that she was working as an insurance agent and was engaged in volunteer activities as a home-helper in the neighborhood during her free time around 1959.4)Mr. Donpuu Kaneko was a district welfare commissioner, and received many awards for his senryu, a kind of haiku. He did not receive awards for his social work. Takeuchi asserts that Kaneko's daughter, Ms. Y, referred to in Takeuchi's paper as Ms. K., did receive awards for her social work, but she denies this.5)Ms. K's parents' residence at that time was not in Kimachi, but in Fukuromachi.6)Ms. K and Takeuchi were members of the same church(Ueda St. Michael and All Angels' Church), and had met many times.7)The descriptions in Takeuchi's paper are based partially on hearsay and speculation.9KJ00008009199departmental bulletin pape
