Effects of hypnotic drugs on performance before and after sleep

The effects of various hypnotics on sleep stage parameters and on the parameters of effectiveness were evaluated along with the effects of several commonly used yet distinctly different hypnotics on daytime performance. The effects on daytime performance of two nonhypnotics commonly used in the space program were also examined

Early Sepsis Recognition Saves Lives:Optimizing Sepsis Care in a Medical-Surgical Telemetry Unit

Abstract Problem: This Quality Improvement project aims to improve sepsis bundle education to reduce mortality and morbidity rates related to septicemia in a Medical-Surgical Telemetry Unit at a San Francisco Bay Area Hospital, Hospital Z. Context: The Quality Improvement project occurred in a Medical-Surgical Telemetry unit at Hospital Z. This Unit is a 32 beds unit with an increased mortality and mobility rate with decreased sepsis bundle compliance. Intervention: Collect active and passive observational data in the microsystem. Data collection was conducted through anonymous self-administered questionnaires to the registered nurses on the unit. No intervention was implemented at this time. Measures: It began with completing an initial microsystem assessment using the 5 Ps. Edible incentives were given to encourage the nurses to actively participate in the survey. We assessed the nurses\u27 knowledge of the unit through a sepsis questionnaire (see Appendix E). Results showed that nurses did feel the Electronic Cardiac Arrest Risk Triage (eCART) system was user-friendly, but there were barriers regarding education on Sepsis itself. The outcome measure would be to see a decrease in sepsis related morbidity and mortality. Results: Our Results were a mix of quantitative and qualitative data. The response rate of 67% gave us a perspective of the nurse\u27s opinions (see Appendix F). The questionnaire did reveal a need for stronger and more frequent sepsis education. Conclusions: Ongoing research has shown that understanding the pathophysiology and immunological mechanisms of Sepsis and the approach to managing Sepsis leads to a better patient outcome (Ling Cheg et al., 2022). We found that the nurses\u27 experience, knowledge, and on-site training affected their compliance rate and understanding of Sepsis

Implication of Life Estates, Distributive Construction and Disposition of Intermediate Income

The Problems Stated. Suppose a testator makes a devise or bequest to take effect after the death of A, without however expressly giving any interest to A. Does A take a life estate by implication? If not, what happens to the income or the rents and profits? Suppose a testator devise Blackacre to A for life and after the death of A said Blackacre together with other property is devised to B. Here three questions at once arise. Does A take a life estate by implication in the property other than Blackacre? If not, then are the words after the death of A to be taken distributively so that they will apply only to Blackacre, thus making a devise of the rest of the estate to take effect immediately upon the testator\u27s death in B? If there is no implication of a life estate to A and no distributive construction, then what becomes of the intermediate income of the property other than Blackacre until A\u27s death

Liability of Water Companies for Fire Losses Another View

In the Superior Court of Cook County, Illinois, before Judge Arthur H. Frost, there was recently presented in substance this case: A private corporation furnishing water to a municipality for fire protection had contracted with the town, in consideration of certain fire hydrant rentals, to keep at all times a pressure of water of at least thirty-five pounds per square inch on the water pipes connected with said fire hydrants, and, in case of a fire, to increase, at once, the pressure to forty pounds per square inch. A fire occurred. It was assumed that the water company had notice of it; that the fire department arrived in time to have saved the plaintiff\u27s house, had the pressure contracted for been furnished; that the pressure was not furnished and that the plaintiff\u27s property was destroyed. The plaintiff sued the water company in an action sounding only in contract. The learned judge directed a verdict for the defendant. A direct appeal to the Supreme Court was dismissed for want of jurisdiction and the case is not now pending in any court

Fellow Servant Doctrine in the United States Supreme Court

The difficulties of the fellow servant doctrine in the United States Supreme Court have been thought to centre principally about the Ross case. The Baugh case, has been said to go far toward overruling it, and the more recent case of New England Railroad Co. v. Conroy, is now taken as overruling it in terms. Nevertheless, the writer believes that the results of all t here cases may be supported upon a common principle. This principle it is the object of this article to suggest

Privately Connecting Mobility to Infectious Diseases via Applied Cryptography

Human mobility is undisputedly one of the critical factors in infectious disease dynamics. Until a few years ago, researchers had to rely on static data to model human mobility, which was then combined with a transmission model of a particular disease resulting in an epidemiological model. Recent works have consistently been showing that substituting the static mobility data with mobile phone data leads to significantly more accurate models. While prior studies have exclusively relied on a mobile network operator's subscribers' aggregated data, it may be preferable to contemplate aggregated mobility data of infected individuals only. Clearly, naively linking mobile phone data with infected individuals would massively intrude privacy. This research aims to develop a solution that reports the aggregated mobile phone location data of infected individuals while still maintaining compliance with privacy expectations. To achieve privacy, we use homomorphic encryption, zero-knowledge proof techniques, and differential privacy. Our protocol's open-source implementation can process eight million subscribers in one and a half hours. Additionally, we provide a legal analysis of our solution with regards to the EU General Data Protection Regulation.Comment: Added differentlial privacy experiments and new benchmark
