STANDARDS IN CONTROL AND PROTECTION TEHNOLOGY FOR ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS

The features of the standard IEC 16850 with respect to intelligent applications in substations are summarized. It is shown how modeling of functions independently from its allocation to devices allows optimizing existing applications and opening up for future intelligent applications. The data model provides all information in a substation needed not only for control and protection functions but also about the IEDs and the switchgear configuration.electric power systems

Multiple intracranial aneurysms: Incidence and outcome in a series of 357 patients

Patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms carry an additional risk of poor outcome due to presence of other aneurysms and the complexity of treatment. Patient’s age is crucial in decision making because of its major effect on outcome and mortality. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess incidence and outcome in multiple aneurysmal SAH in a series of 357 consecutive patients.Material and method: We retrospectively analyzed a series of 366 patients with ruptured aneurysms treated between Jan 2006 and Dec 2009 in our department. We study the incidence, localization, surgical outcome and treatment method for individualized patients. We analyzed short-term outcome of multiple aneurysm in comparison to the single in accordance to Glasgow Outcome Scale at discharge. Data of all patients with aneurysmal SAH treated between 2006 an 2009 in our department were collected from their chart; operative notes and used to evaluate the incidence and outcome for three patient’s age category. Results: For both single and multiple aneurysms the incidence was significantly higher in women than in men.Outcome differ statistically between patients with multiple and single aneurysms in age groups 40-69 and 70-89 years.Conclusions: The incidence of multiple intracranial aneurysms is higher in women than in men, the site of rupture are different between the two groups in male the site of rupture is dominated by the anterior communicating artery aneurysms while in women it is represented by the internal carotid artery aneurysms.Patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms had a higher mortality than patients harboring single intracranial aneurysms

Homicidal Act Commited by an Elderly Person with Sexual Dysfunction - Case Report

Sexual dysfunctions (SDs) are highly prevalent with aging. Studies reported an interactive correlation between psychiatric morbidity and SD. Also, SDs have significant influence on patients` self-esteem, body image, interpersonal relationships, and physical health in general. The aim of the present research is to present an intimate partner homicide case and to discuss a possible correlation between SDs of elderly patients and their inclination towards aggressive behavior from intimate partner violence (IPV).A forensic psychiatric assessment was performed on a married male patient, aged 61. He was diagnosed and treated for BPH and he could no longer have sexual intercourse. Using a knife, he provoked over 20 stab wounds to his wife, who died following the attack. He admitted that he was jealous, due to his wife having an affair. The psychiatric forensic expertise found that the killing was committed with discernment.Psychological states found in IPV perpetrators are partly like those met in SDs patients. The relation between SDs in older adults and aggressive behavior, especially IPV, requires further research. In the case discussed, a complex of negative emotions and aggressiveness could be determined equally by infidelity of the spouse or by the perpetrator’s SD, but we can assume that SD played a relevant role in the causal chain.</em
