Patient Physiological Parameters (PPPs) seem to be the most extensively accessed and utilized Personal Health Information (PHI) in hospitals, and their utilization by the various medical entities for treatment and diagnosis creates a real threat to patient privacy. This study aims to investigate whether PPPs access in a hospital environment violates patient privacy. If so, to what extent can we manage patient privacy while accessing PPPs in this environment? We investigated this question by analyzing questionnaire-based data from two Asian countries: Group A (China) and Group B (Pakistan). For data collection, we targeted those medical entities which were directly dealing with PPPs in their routine tasks. Results suggest that patient type directly influences the collection of PPPs: Group A (one-time?=?1.9, follow-up?=?1.06) and Group B (one-time?=?2.0 and follow-up?=?1.9). Both groups agreed that patients have the right to control their own PPPs. In both, doctors are the most trusted entity: for Group A, the Pearson Chi-Square with one degree of freedom is 1.414, p?=?0.234, whereas for Group B, the Pearson Chi-Square with three degrees of freedom is 4.511, p?=?0.11. Most of the Group A entities (92%) are familiar with unauthorized access of PPPs, while in Group B the level was only 35%. In Group B, only 35% of entities stated the purpose, specification and use limitations of PPPs. Doctors in both groups showed a high utilization of PPPs read authorization rights. This empirical evidence about PPPs usage in both countries will benefit health technology and improve policy on patient privacy. 相似文献

AIM: The study of prevalence of carbohydrate metabolism disorders (CHMD) in females. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A representative sample of 20-59-year-old female population of the city of Baku was examined using age-specific standardized index, WHO tests and criteria. RESULTS: CHMD occurred rather frequently. Tolerance to glucose was abnormal in 50% of the examinees. Diabetes mellitus affected 20-29-year-old women 4 times more frequently than poor glucose tolerance. An opposite trend was observed for 40-49-year-old women. CONCLUSION: Relevant prophylactic measures are required for female Baku population. 相似文献

In recent years, Body Area Networks (BANs) have gained immense popularity in the domain of healthcare as well as monitoring of soldiers in the battlefield. Security of a BAN is inevitable as we secure the lives of soldiers and patients. In this paper, we propose a security framework using Keyed-Hashing Message Authentication Code (HMAC-MD5) to protect the personal information in a BAN. We assume a network in which nodes sense physiological variables such as electrocardiography (EKG), electroencephalography (EEG), pulse oximeter data, blood pressure and cardiac output. Heterogeneous wireless sensor network is considered which consists of a powerful High-end sensor (H-sensor) and several Low-end sensors (L-sensors). EKG is used for secure communication between nodes as it introduces plug and play capability in BANs. The process is made secure by applying HMAC-MD5 on EKG blocks. Key agreement is done by comparing HMAC of feature blocks between sensors resulting in a more secure network. The analysis is done by calculating the entropy of keys and checking the randomness of EKG data using NIST-randomness testing suite. 相似文献

Automated Prototyping of User Interfaces Based on UML Scenarios 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
User interface (UI) prototyping and scenario engineering have become popular techniques. Yet, the transition from scenario
to formal specifications and the generation of UI code is still ill-defined and essentially a manual task, and the two techniques
lack integration in the overall requirements engineering process. In this paper, we suggest an approach for requirements engineering
that generates a user interface prototype from scenarios and yields a formal specification of the application. Scenarios are
acquired in the form of collaboration diagrams as defined by the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and are enriched with user
interface (UI) information. These diagrams are automatically transformed into UML Statechart specifications of the UI objects
involved. From the set of obtained specifications, a UI prototype is generated that is embedded in a UI builder environment
for further refinement. Based on end user feedback, the collaboration diagrams and the UI prototype may be iteratively refined,
and the result of the overall process is a specification consisting of the Statechart diagrams of all the objects involved,
together with the generated and refined prototype of the UI. The algorithms underlying this process have been implemented
and exercised on a number of examples.

Epoxy resins, is an important class of reactive polymers, have been reported to be toughened by nanoparticles. Carbon nanotube is a tubular cylinder ofcarbonatoms having extraordinary mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. In this article, present state of epoxy/carbon nanotube composite is given. Types of epoxy and hardening agents commonly used in composite processing have been thrashed out. Frequently used fabrication techniques are discussed with particular emphasis on evaluating dispersion state of nanotube. Epoxy/carbon nanotube composites offer substantially improved properties compared to traditional fiber-reinforced epoxy composites. Finally, potential relevance for efficiently transforming filler properties to matrix facilitating aerospace relevance is conversed. 相似文献

In vitro inhibition of Escherichia coli O157:H7 by bifidobacterial strains of human origin 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The ability of bifidobacteria isolated from infant feces to inhibit enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 in vitro and reduce its adhesion to human enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells was evaluated in comparison to American Type Culture Collection bifidobacterial reference strains. Five Bifidobacterium isolates from infant feces were identified and characterized by morphology, fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase (F6PPK) assay, polymerase chain reaction using bifidobacterial 16S rDNA specific primers, carbohydrate fermentation patterns, resistance to lysozyme, acid, bile and hydrogen peroxide as well as their ability to inhibit E. coli O157:H7 using the agar spot technique. Infant isolates showed greater resistance to bile, acid, lysozyme and more antimicrobial activity against E. coli O157:H7 than ATCC strains. Two infant isolates identified as B. bifidum RBL 71 and B. bifidum RBL 460 showed good adhesion and significant potential for reducing adhesion of E. coli O157:H7 to Caco-2 cells. This effect was dependent on bifidobacterial cell concentration. These results show that bifidobacteria isolated from infants may be useful for improving probiotic formulae with respect to protection against E. coli O157:H7 infection. 相似文献

High resolution radar imaging is used to perform target signature analysis. In this paper, we present a comparative study of diverse 2- D imaging methods on spherical waves, such as sar processing and its modes, ssar and isar as well as holography, whose mathematical formulation is identical by using the spherical projection density function, although the measurement technique are quite different. We show that azimuth processing is unified, and under some conditions range processing can be unified. In order to reconstruct the fixed target side looking radar image, we have developed an idea based on the transformation of antenna lateral displacement as a function of equivalent angular displacement, and then the 1- D images coherent summation algorithm of classical holography can be used. 相似文献

In this article, advancement in epoxy/graphene oxide composites is presented. These materials are comprised of graphene oxide (GO) as filler (carbon-based material, thermodynamically stable, two-dimensional, planar and layered structure). Due to improved properties (mechanical response, low density, electrical resistance, and thermal stability), epoxy resins are used in several applications. Graphene oxide proposes unique properties to epoxy composites as high surface area, thermal and electrical conductivity as well as mechanical and barrier properties, relative to neat matrix. The corresponding significance of epoxy/GO-based materials, related challenges, and potential exploitation regarding technical applications (aerospace, gas sensor, electronic devices, etc.) have been overviewed. 相似文献
