Fall Detection and Posture Monitoring System

The healthcare field can greatly benefit from the inclusion of innovative smart devices. Two common health concerns addressed in the industry are injuries due to falls and improper posture. This project aimed at designing a device to prevent the occurrence of these problems by monitoring a user’s walking and posture behaviors. The intent was to alert the user or a nearby caregiver if a fall or abnormal posture were detected. The device integrated sensors along with Bluetooth communication to successfully achieve this task

Capitalists (rich persons) can start goat farming not only to establish profitable business and to improve the personal and national economy but also to provide meat and milk for society

Pediatric appendicitis score for identifying acute appendicitis in children presenting with acute abdominal pain to the emergency department

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of Pediatric Appendicitis Score (PAS) in predicting appendicitis in children presenting with acute abdominal pain to the Emergency Department (ED) of a private hospital in Pakistan. Methods: This validation study was through retrospective chart review of children between 4-18 years of age with clinical suspicion of acute appendicitis, presenting to the pediatric ED. Diagnostic accuracy was determined using sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and area under the curve (AUC). Results: 104 children (76% boys) with mean (SD) age of 10.9 (3.5) years met the eligibility criteria. 91% (n=95) patients had moderate to high PAS (score ³4), and 95% (n=99) had biopsy-proven appendicitis. The likelihood ratio calculated for low, equivocal and high-risk PAS was 0.10, 2.17 and 2.53, respectively. An equivocal PAS (score 4-6) showed a sensitivity of 96.8%, specificity of 80%, positive predictive value of 98.9% and AUC of 0.84 for predicting acute appendicitis. Conclusion: PAS showed good diagnostic accuracy in predicting acute appendicitis in children presenting to the E
