Methodological issues in biomonitoring of low level exposure to benzene. (1/12809)

Data from a pilot study on unmetabolized benzene and trans,trans muconic acid (t,t-MA) excretion in filling station attendants and unexposed controls were used to afford methodological issues in the biomonitoring of low benzene exposures (around 0.1 ppm). Urinary concentrations of benzene and t,t-MA were measured by dynamic head-space capillary GC/FID and HPLC, respectively. The accuracy of the HPLC determination of t,t-MA was assessed in terms of inter- and intra-method reliability. The adequacy of urinary t,t-MA and benzene as biological markers of low benzene exposure was evaluated by analysing the relationship between personal exposure to benzene and biomarker excretion. Filling station attendants excreted significantly higher amounts of benzene, but not of t,t-MA, than controls. Adjusting for occupational benzene exposure, smokers excreted significantly higher amounts of t,t-MA, but not of unmetabolized benzene, than nonsmokers. A comparative analysis of the present and previously published biomonitoring surveys showed a good inter-study agreement regarding the amount of t,t-MA and unmetabolized benzene excreted (about 0.1-0.2 mg/l and 1-2 micrograms/l, respectively) per unit of exposure (0.1 ppm). For each biomarker, based on the distribution of parameters observed in the pilot study, we calculated the minimum sample size required to estimate the population mean with given confidence and precision.  (+info)

Design and trial of a new questionnaire for occupational health surveys in companies. (2/12809)

In this article we present an example of our method for instrument development. This method is called the Development Cycle. It consists of four main stages: (1) defining the requirements for an instrument; (2) research, design and pilot testing; (3) implementation and (4) evaluation. An application of the Development Cycle was realized within a project for the development of a basic questionnaire about work and health, to be used at periodic health surveys. This questionnaire had to identify work and work-related health problems in employees with divergent occupations and working conditions. The design of the instrument and the results of its trial in 517 employees is presented. The evaluation of the test results and the modification of the questionnaire are discussed. From 1995, the questionnaire has been implemented in the Dutch OHS services quite successfully.  (+info)

A chiropractic service arrangement for musculoskeletal complaints in industry: a pilot study. (3/12809)

Chiropractic services are commonly used by workers with musculoskeletal problems, especially low back and neck complaints. Research into the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of this approach is, however, difficult to design without prior pilot studies. This study followed 32 workers with these complaints attending one such service and used five measures of outcome over a 6-month period. These measured pain (VAS), disability (FLP), quality of life (SF-36), perceived benefit and satisfaction with care. Additionally, sickness costs to the companies were recorded over two years encompassing the study period. Treatment utilization was also monitored. Over half the population were chronic sufferers. The effect sizes were large for pain and for seven out of eight dimensions of the SF-36 questionnaire at 6-month follow-up, although not for disability (FLP). High levels of satisfaction and perceived improvement were reported and sickness costs to the companies fell. However, the sample size in this pilot study was small and did not include controls. We would, therefore, recommend a full cost-effectiveness study incorporating a randomized trial in this area.  (+info)

Biased JH usage in plasma cell immunoglobulin gene sequences from colonic mucosa in ulcerative colitis but not in Crohn's disease. (4/12809)

BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the colonic and rectal mucosa. Autoantibodies have been observed in ulcerative colitis which may have a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Evidence also suggests that there is an hereditary predisposition towards the disease, although no individual genes have been identified. AIMS: This is a pilot study of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes (IgH) in ulcerative colitis to determine whether they have any particular genetic characteristics which may lead to a better understanding of the disease aetiology. SUBJECTS: Colonic or rectal tissue was obtained from five children with ulcerative colitis. Tissue was also obtained from five children with Crohn's disease and five children who did not have inflammatory bowel disease as controls. METHODS: B cells and IgD+ B cells were identified by immunohistochemistry on frozen sections. Areas of lamina propria containing plasma cells, and areas of IgD+ B cells were microdissected. The immunoglobulin genes were PCR amplified, cloned, and sequenced. Sequences were analysed for content of somatic mutations and composition of heavy chain. RESULTS: An increase in the use of JH6 and DXP'1, and a decrease in the use of JH4, gene segments in immunoglobulin genes from lamina propria plasma cells, and from virgin IgD+ B cells, was found in patients with ulcerative colitis. These biases were not present in the control groups. CONCLUSIONS: There is a fundamental difference in the immunoglobulin genes from patients with ulcerative colitis. Whether this is caused by a difference in content of immunoglobulin gene segments in the germline or a difference in the recombination mechanism is not known.  (+info)

Use of positron emission tomography in evaluation of brachial plexopathy in breast cancer patients. (5/12809)

18-Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has previously been used successfully to image primary and metastatic breast cancer. In this pilot study, 19 breast cancer patients with symptoms/signs referrable to the brachial plexus were evaluated with 18FDG-PET. In 11 cases computerized tomography (CT) scanning was also performed. Of the 19 patients referred for PET study, 14 had abnormal uptake of 18FDG in the region of the symptomatic plexus. Four patients had normal PET studies and one had increased FDG uptake in the chest wall that accounted for her axillary pain. CT scans were performed in 9 of the 14 patients who had positive brachial plexus PET studies; six of these were either normal or showed no clear evidence of recurrent disease, while three CTs demonstrated clear brachial plexus involvement. Of two of the four patients with normal PET studies, one has had complete resolution of symptoms untreated while the other was found to have cervical disc herniation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The remaining two patients almost certainly had radiation-induced plexopathy and had normal CT, MRI and PET study. These data suggest that 18FDG-PET scanning is a useful tool in evaluation of patients with suspected metastatic plexopathy, particularly if other imaging studies are normal. It may also be useful in distinguishing between radiation-induced and metastatic plexopathy.  (+info)

Marimastat in recurrent colorectal cancer: exploratory evaluation of biological activity by measurement of carcinoembryonic antigen. (6/12809)

Marimastat is a specific inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases that has been shown to be effective in cancer models. A pilot, escalating-dose study of oral marimastat was performed in patients with recurrent colorectal cancer, in whom evaluation of serological response was made by measurement of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels. The study assessed the safety and tolerability of 4 weeks administration of marimastat, and determined a dose range producing detectable serological effects. Patients were recruited with a serum CEA level greater than 5 ng ml(-1), and rising by more than 25% over a 4-week screening period. Patients were treated for 28 days and entered into a continuation protocol if a serological response or clinical benefit was observed. Pharmacokinetic and safety data determined that groups of patients were recruited sequentially at 25 mg and 50 mg twice daily, and, thereafter, 10 mg twice daily, 10 mg once daily, 5 mg once daily and 20 mg once daily. A biological effect (BE) was defined as a CEA value on day 28 no greater than on day 0; a partial biological effect (PBE) was defined as a rise in CEA over the 28-day treatment period of less than 25%. Of 70 patients recruited, 63 completed the 28-day treatment period, and 55 were eligible for cancer antigen analysis. Examination of the dose-effect relationships provides evidence for a causal relationship between marimastat and biological effects: the proportion of patients with BE or PBE was higher with twice daily dosing (16 out of 25, 64%) than with once daily dosing (11 out of 30, 37%) (P = 0.043, chi2 test). Furthermore, the median rates of rise of CEA fell markedly during treatment compared with the screening period for patients receiving twice daily marimastat (P<0.0001), but not for patients receiving marimastat once daily (P = 0.25). Musculoskeletal adverse events emerged as the principal drug-related toxicity of marimastat, occurring in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. It was concluded that marimastat was associated with dose-dependent biological effects in cancer patients. The occurrence of musculoskeletal side-effects define 25 mg twice daily as the upper limit of the dose range for continuous use in further studies. Therefore, a dose range of 20 mg once daily to 25 mg twice daily seems appropriate for further studies, which should aim to demonstrate the efficacy of the drug in terms of conventional clinical end points and describe the long-term tolerability of this novel agent.  (+info)

X-chromosome inactivation patterns do not implicate asymmetric splitting of the inner cell mass in the aetiology of twin-twin transfusion syndrome. (8/12809)

The aetiology of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is unclear. We investigated the hypothesis that monochorionic (MC) pregnancies with TTTS are associated with differences in the timing and symmetry of twinning compared to MC twin pregnancies without TTTS. DNA was extracted from the umbilical cord vessels of 26 female MC twins, 14 with and 12 without TTTS on serial antenatal ultrasound. X-inactivation patterns were determined by DNA digestion with Hhal and Hpall followed by polymerase chain reaction for a polymorphic trinucleotide repeat in the androgen receptor gene. Products were quantified by densitometry and results compared to those in peripheral blood samples of adult female controls. The median degree of non-random inactivation was similar in MC twins with TTTS, in MC twins without TTTS, and in adult controls. The percentage of individuals with skewed (> or =30/70%) inactivation patterns was no different in MC twins with TTTS compared to those without TTTS, and was similar to adult controls using either enzyme technique. In conclusion we found no difference in the degree or frequency of non-random X-inactivation patterns in TTTS. X-inactivation patterns do not appear to be a useful tool for studying the symmetry of inner cell mass splitting in monochorionic twins.  (+info)

Munin: Activation of Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Prospective Pilot StudyMunin: Activation of Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Prospective Pilot Study
Introduction: Coagulation and fibrinolysis remain sparsely addressed with regards to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We hypothesized that ARDS development might be associated with changes in plasma coagulation and fibrinolysis. Our aim was to investigate the relationships between ARDS diagnosis and plasma concentrations of tissue factor (TF), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), and plasminogen activator inhibitor- 1 (PAI-1) in mechanically ventilated patients at increased risk of developing ARDS. Materials and methods: We performed an ethically approved prospective observational pilot study. Inclusion criteria were patients with PaO2/FiO2 < 300 mmHg admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for mechanical ventilation for 24 h, or more, because of one or more disease conditions associated with increased risk of developing ARDS. Exclusion criteria were age below 18 years; cardiac disease. We sampled plasma prospectively and compared patients who developed ARDS with those who did not ...

Improving Quality of Care for Maternal and Newborn Health: Prospective Pilot Study of the WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist ProgramImproving Quality of Care for Maternal and Newborn Health: Prospective Pilot Study of the WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist Program
Background Most maternal deaths, intrapartum-related stillbirths, and newborn deaths in low income countries are preventable but simple, effective methods for improving safety in institutional births have not been devised. Checklist-based interventions aid management of complex or neglected tasks and have been shown to reduce harm in healthcare. We hypothesized that implementation of the WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist program, a novel childbirth safety program for institutional births incorporating a 29-item checklist, would increase delivery of essential childbirth practices linked with improved maternal and perinatal health outcomes. Methods and Findings A pilot, pre-post-intervention study was conducted in a sub-district level birth center in Karnataka, India between July and December 2010. We prospectively observed health workers that attended to women and newborns during 499 consecutively enrolled birth events and compared these with observed practices during 795 consecutively enrolled birth

Pilot Implementation of First Malaria Vaccine Recommended by WHO Advisory GroupsPilot Implementation of First Malaria Vaccine Recommended by WHO Advisory Groups
This was a historic meeting with two of WHOs major advisory committees working together to consider current evidence about this vaccine," says professor Fred Binka, acting chair of MPAC. "The committees agreed that pilot implementations should be the next step with this vaccine." The vaccine, known as RTS,S, is the first vaccine for malaria, but there is one primary question. It requires four doses for a child to be fully protected and therefore requires additional contacts with the health care system. The first three doses are given one month apart followed by an 18-month pause before the fourth dose. Without the fourth dose, children had no overall reduction in severe malaria. "The question about how the malaria vaccine may best be delivered still need to be answered," says professor Jon S. Abramson, chair of SAGE. "After detailed assessment of all the evidence we recommended that this question is best addressed by having three to five large pilot implementation projects." The malaria ...

Miniaturized High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Device in Patients with Glaucoma: A Clinical Pilot Study | IOVS | ARVO JournalsMiniaturized High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Device in Patients with Glaucoma: A Clinical Pilot Study | IOVS | ARVO Journals
The HIFU device has been previously described in detail. 14,17 A coupling cone made of polymer was placed in direct contact with the eye, which allowed good placement of the transducers in terms of centering and distance (Fig. 1). At the base of the coupling cone, a suction ring allowed the application of a low-level vacuum and enabled the cone to maintain contact with the eye. A 30-mm diameter, 15-mm high ring containing six active piezoelectric elements was inserted in the upper part of the coupling cone. The cavity created between the eye, the cone, and the probe (4 mL) was filled through the central aperture of the device with room temperature saline solution (BSS, Alcon Inc., Fort Worth, TX). Each of the six transducers was a segment of a 10.2-mm radius cylinder with a 4.5-mm width and a 7-mm length (active surface area, approximately 35 mm2). The focal volume of each transducer has approximately an elliptic cylinder shape. The axial length of the focal zone is 1.2 mm (major section of the ...

Supplementation with high-dose EPA/DHA concentrate resulted in significant modifications of fatty acids, particularly a significant improvement in the AA:EPA ratio in the isolated plasma phospholipids and improvements in behavior assessed by a psychiatrist (blinded to protocol adherence and supplement dosage adjustments) in this small pilot sample of children with ADHD.. At baseline fatty acid analysis of the isolated plasma phospholipids from the children in this study were similar to that of previous studies of children with ADHD and thirst/skin symptoms of EFA deficiency [3,5,11]; however, we did not assess EFA deficiency symptoms. Children with ADHD and thirst/skin symptoms of EFA deficiency had lower AA and DHA levels in the plasma phospholipids compared to control groups. Both the AA and DHA mean levels from previous studies [3,5,11] were within the 95% CI (8.98-10.05; 1.63-2.97, respectively) of this studys mean AA and DHA levels..

Occipital nerve stimulation for drug-resistant chronic cluster headache: a prospective pilot study - Magis DelphineOccipital nerve stimulation for drug-resistant chronic cluster headache: a prospective pilot study - Magis Delphine
en] Background Drug-resistant chronic duster headache (drCCH) is a devastating disorder for which various destructive procedures have been tried unsuccessfully. Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) is a new, safe strategy for intractable headaches. We undertook a prospective pilot trial of ONS in drCCH to assess clinical efficacy and pain perception. Methods Eight patients with drCCH had a suboccipital neurostimulator implanted on the side of the headache and were asked to record details of frequency, intensity, and symptomatic treatment for their attacks in a diary before and after Continuous ONS. To detect changes in cephalic and extracephalic pain processing we measured electrical and pressure pain thresholds and the nociceptive blink reflex. Findings Two patients were pain free after a follow-up of 16 and 22 months; one of them still had occasional autonomic attacks. Three patients had around a 90% reduction in attack frequency. Two patients, one of whom had had the implant for only 3 months, ...

Our randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study showed for the first time that a combination of memantine and L-dopa was associated with a slight, beneficial effect on axial motor handicap and LID in advanced PD patients with severe axial symptoms. Memantines good safety profile and its observed association with a lower motor symptom score (vs placebo) confirmed the findings of two open-label studies12 ,13 and two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. One of the double-blind studies used non-validated scales14 and the other adopted a crossover paradigm with a very small number (n=12) of PD patients.15. This pilot study had both strengths and limitations. The main limitation was the small sample size, which encompassed patients with and without STN stimulation. However, the lack of significant differences between these subgroups suggests that memantine may have clinical benefit in both stimulated and non-stimulated patients. Furthermore, the lack of off-L-dopa data (due to ...

Fast start climate change pilot projectsFast start climate change pilot projects
As part of this climate change package, Kenya became the first African country to receive funding as bilateral support from Denmark and DKK 10 million was set aside for pilot projects. In addition a further DKK 50 million has been allocated to Kenya for the design and implementation of a fast start climate change programme. The programme emphasises the role of the private sector and communities in facilitating the use of innovative technology to reduce climate change vulnerability and contribute to a low carbon development path. In late 2010, several potential pilot projects were screened, out of which five projects were shortlisted for implementation in 2010- 2011. The screening criteria used to select the five pilot projects asked the following questions: · Will the projects directly benefit people in terms of climate resilience? · Do the projects provide value for money in terms of direct cost benefit for the people? · Can the projects bring new approaches and innovation to the climate ...
A dooring pilot project on Wellington Street making it safer for cyclists. - GoBiking.caA "dooring" pilot project on Wellington Street making it safer for cyclists. - GoBiking.ca
A pilot project to reduce "dooring" that involved warning messages and large sharrows painted on a section of Wellington Street had been criticized for being "confusing" for motorists. Well, its almost three years later, and rather than confusing motorists, the pilot project seems to be having the desired effect of making it safer for cyclists on this stretch of Wellington Street.. For people who may be unfamiliar with the concept, "dooring" is what happens when a car door is suddenly opened in front of a cyclist. In many cases the cyclist cannot maneuver quickly enough to get around the door and the resulting collision can be very dangerous. At least one cyclist in Ottawa has died because of a dooring incident.. A few years ago there were 5 dooring incidents on Wellington between Parkdale and Holland. In response, the city initiated a pilot project in 2015 to encourage cyclists to stay more towards the middle of the road, and avoid the "dooring zone" in the area right next to the park cars. It ...

The number of cancer survivors in the western world is steadily increasing [1]. This is owing in part to high incidence rates, and in part to advancements in detection and treatment which have led to improved survival outcomes. In Australia, survivors experience some of the highest survival rates in the world. The majority of those diagnosed (67%) now have a good chance of surviving for the next 5 years relative to their peers without a cancer history [2]. While increases in survival are duly welcomed, many survivors will suffer from adverse side effects well beyond the treatment phase, including fatigue, reduced physical functioning, premature aging, and mood disturbances [3, 4]. These issues have a significant and lasting impact on quality of life [5-7]. In addition, cancer survivors are at an increased risk of morbidity and premature death from cancer and non-cancer causes compared to age matched controls [8]. As such, cancer is increasingly recognised as a chronic disease, and cancer ...
Pilot investigation of hypothermia in neonates receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation | ADC Fetal & Neonatal EditionPilot investigation of hypothermia in neonates receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation | ADC Fetal & Neonatal Edition
Mild hypothermia has been the focus of much attention in recent years as a means of minimising the cerebral damage that can arise as a result of a hypoxic-ischaemic insult in the perinatal period.9 Most of the data are from animal experiments in which the nature and timing of the insult were closely controlled.5-8 Translating the technique into clinical practice has posed major problems because, not only is the nature, duration, and severity of perinatal asphyxia not standardised, there is uncertainty about the optimal means of cooling. As cooling is practised in only a limited number of centres and cases of perinatal asphyxia cannot generally be predicted, getting affected infants to the appropriate units for formal testing of the technique is also a problem.. ECMO on the other hand provides life support to a group of infants at high risk of hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury and whose care is already focused on a small number of hospitals.2,3 The technique itself makes control of body temperature ...
Dipyridamole in Heart Failure due to Dilated Cardiomyopathy: A Pilot Study - UnipiEprintsDipyridamole in Heart Failure due to Dilated Cardiomyopathy: A Pilot Study - UnipiEprints
Introduction: Dipyridamole (DIP) might be beneficial in heart failure (HF). It has been reported to improve symptoms in observational, small‑scale studies. The PRoFESS study for secondary prevention of stroke observed a reduction in the risk of HF with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) plus DIP in comparison with clopidogrel. The present pilot study was aimed at assessing the clinical effects of DIP and ASA in dilated cardiomyopathy. Materials and Methods: Nineteen outpatients with nonischemic HF, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II, ejection fraction (EF) ,40%, were randomized to ASA 25 mg, or ASA 25 mg plus DIP 200 mg (ASA + DIP), twice daily. They were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months for symptoms, EF, and exercise capacity through 6‑min walk test. Results: Eleven subjects were in the ASA group and 8 in the ASA + DIP. Dyspnea improved, without differences between the two arms: n = 6/5/0/0 for NYHA I/II/III/IV in ASA, n = 4/3/1/0 in ASA + DIP. EF increased in both groups (ASA: from ...

Osteotomes are bone cutting tools commonly reused in orthopedic surgical procedures. Despite undergoing rigorous cleaning, visual inspection, and sterilization procedures between every use, the condition of the cutting blade edge is commonly not qualitatively assessed. Subjective feedback from surgeons suggests a large variation in osteotome cutting-edge sharpness is found during use. This study seeks to investigate the retention of osteotome cutting-edge sharpness by comparing the wear resistance of as-supplied, electroless nickel, and titanium nitride coated osteotomes following a series of bone cutting tests. Changes in edge sharpness were assessed using visual inspection, depth penetration testing that quantified change in the blade sharpness index, and scanning electron microscopy visual analysis. Visual inspection of each osteotome blade edge was then compared to qualitative blade sharpness index measurement. After use, no cutting-edge damage or change in blade sharpness was detected by visual

While percentage fluid overload (PFO) using intake/output charts (PFO|sub|i/o|/sub|) has been validated as a marker of overload, accurate PFO|sub|i/o|/sub| measurements may not be possible in a general ward. We propose an alternative weight-based PFO calculation: PFO|sub|w|/sub| = [(maximum weight − baseline weight) ÷ baseline weight] × 100%. Methods: This is a prospective, observational pilot study on general ward inpatients with AKI who were referred for nephrology consult. PFO|sub|w|/sub| was compared with PFO|sub|i/o|/sub|, and both were evaluated for associations with dialysis requirement, AKI stage 2 or 3, and 90-day mortality. Results: Fifty-eight patients with a median age of 67.5 years (interquartile range 18.0) were recruited. Of which, 33 (56.9%) were males and 41 (70.7%) had preexisting CKD 3 or higher. We found no correlation between PFO|sub|i/o|/sub| and PFO|sub|w|/sub| ( R |sup|2|/sup| =

INTRODUCTION: Inhomogeneity of lung attenuation pattern is observed in high resolution chest computed tomography (HRCT) in some IPAH patients despite lack of interstitial lung disease. Such radiological changes are described either as ill-defined centrilobular nodules (CN) or as focal ground glass opacities (FGGO). There is no consensus in the literature, whether they indicate the distinct type of IPAH, or pulmonary venoocclusive disease (PVOD) with subtle radiological changes. Thus the aim of the present pilot study was to assess the frequency and clinical significance of inhomogenic lung attenuation pattern in IPAH.. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 52 IPAH patients (38 females, 14 males, mean age 41 years ± 15 years), entered the study. All available chest CT scans were reviewed retrospectively by the experienced radiologist, not aware about the clinical data of the patients.. RESULTS: CN were found in 10 patients (19%), FGGO - in 12 patients (23%). No lymphadenopathy or interlobular septal thickening ...

June 2015 - Kyulenes worldJune 2015 - Kyulene's world
Expressivity is a visceral capacity of the human body. To understand what makes a gesture expressive, we need to consider not only its spatial placement and orientation but also its dynamics and the mechanisms enacting them. We start by defining gesture and gesture expressivity, and then we present fundamental aspects of muscle activity and ways to capture information through electromyography and mechanomyography. We present pilot studies that inspect the ability of users to control spatial and temporal variations of 2D shapes and that use muscle sensing to assess expressive information in gesture execution beyond space and time. This leads us to the design of a study that explores the notion of gesture power in terms of control and sensing. Results give insights to interaction designers to go beyond simplistic gestural interaction, towards the design of interactions that draw on nuances of expressive gesture. ...

Portable Cameras - Pilot Project For Police Officers - Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM)Portable Cameras - Pilot Project For Police Officers - Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM)
The implementation of this project is rooted in the very widespread use of this technology in other police departments across Canada and the U.S. Citizens recordings of various police interventions have inspired police departments to use the technology themselves so as to be able to view different angles of interventions.. The recommendation of having police officers wear potable cameras was also made in June 2015 by coroner Paul G. Dionne, as part of his report following a citizens death during a Montréal police intervention.. In the fall of 2015, the Ministère de la Sécurité publique tabled its feasibility study of police officers use of portable cameras. The SPVM, along with other police departments in the province, contributed to this document.. Furthermore, it is important to specify that this pilot project is carried out in two phases.. Phase 1. Phase 1 began in May 2016, with some thirty police officers wearing portable cameras. To kick off the pilot project, the SPVM opted to use ...

Medicare pilot project revives house calls as cost-cutting strategy | Continuum of Care NewsMedicare pilot project revives house calls as cost-cutting strategy | Continuum of Care News
In what might be called a "Back to the Future-style" experiment, Medicare officials have apparently figured out one way to save money and improve care: house calls.. According to an article from Kaiser Health News, a pilot project launched two years ago is based on the idea that, if done well and paid for appropriately, house calls might be an effective way of treating very sick, elderly patients while also allowing them to live at home.. "House calls go back to the origins of medicine, but in many ways I think this is the next generation," said Dr. Patrick Conway, who heads the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation and oversees the project, called Independence at Home. "In the first year of the experiment," the article notes, "Housecall Providers of Portland, Oregon, which had been operating at a loss, saved Medicare an average of almost $13,600 for each patient in the pilot project. Its share of the savings was $1.2 million. The house calls practice at MedStar Washington Hospital in ...

Ghana, Kenya and Malawi to take part in WHO malaria vaccine pilot programme - AfricaNewsAnalysisGhana, Kenya and Malawi to take part in WHO malaria vaccine pilot programme - AfricaNewsAnalysis
The injectable vaccine, RTS,S, was developed to protect young children from the most deadly form of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. RTS,S will be assessed in the pilot programme as a complementary malaria control tool that could potentially be added to the core package of WHO-recommended measures for malaria prevention.. "The prospect of a malaria vaccine is great news. Information gathered in the pilot programme will help us make decisions on the wider use of this vaccine, said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa. "Combined with existing malaria interventions, such a vaccine would have the potential to save tens of thousands of lives in Africa," she added.. Africa bears the greatest burden of malaria worldwide. Global efforts in the last 15 years have led to a 62 percent reduction in malaria deaths between 2000 and 2015, yet approximately 429,000 people died of the disease in 2015, the majority of them young children in Africa..

Implementation3
Outcomes1
Initiative1
Stakeholders2
  • Agencies, stakeholders, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) all have suggested, as an alternative to large-scale reform, that pilot projects be conducted to test the effectiveness of alternatives to the current Part 1614 process. (eeoc.gov)
  • The project has brought together City staff and key stakeholders including Visit Oakland , the Lake Merritt/Uptown Business Improvement District (BID) , the Downtown BID and the Jack London BID. (localwiki.org)
Evaluation1
  • The GAO report stressed the importance of a "sound evaluation plan" to determine whether the pilot could become a successful alternative to the current regulatory process. (eeoc.gov)
20192
  • The Pilot Project will run for 3 years, from 2019-2021 and, if approved by the ABMS, the ABPN plans to transition diplomates into this program in 2022 as a permanent alternative to the secure MOC examination. (abpn.com)
  • After completion of the pilot project (expected to be the end of the 2nd quarter of 2019), the results will be made available to all project partners. (kalmarglobal.it)
20201
Program4
  • Speaking at a CRC Breakfast Forum, Genomics - sheep breeding's holy grail, which opened the official LambEx program, CRC Chief Executive James Rowe told the crowd of nearly 400 that the new pilot projects would pave the way for the commercialisation of new DNA tests for breeding traits, horned/polled, and parentage. (sheepcrc.org.au)
  • Once available to all diplomates, the Pilot Project will ultimately provide greater flexibility to ABPN diplomates for meeting their MOC Part III program requirements. (abpn.com)

Steering Committee1
Objectives1
  • According to GAO, such a plan must include clear objectives, measures linked to those objectives, criteria for determining performance, a method for isolating the effects of the pilot programs, a data analysis plan, and a data collection/storage/entry plan to ensure that the results are reliable. (eeoc.gov)
ABPN4
  • The ABPN MOC Part III Pilot Project is a professional journal article-based assessment activity designed as an optional alternative to the current secure, proctored 10-year MOC examination. (abpn.com)
  • See the 'Part III Pilot' section in your ABPN Physician Folios account. (abpn.com)

  • Journal article lists are also in the ABPN Physician Folios 'Part III Pilot' section for eligible participants. (abpn.com)
Participants2
  • The Sheep CRC is developing two new Genomics Pilot Projects, the first offering participants a new parentage test that will also provide prediction of horn-poll, while the second will be a genotyping test for a broad range of traits in young sires," Prof. Rowe said. (sheepcrc.org.au)
  • Exam questions are now available to enrolled Pilot Project participants, who were sent an email in January about accessing topics, articles, and questions. (abpn.com)
Conduct a pilot1
  • This toolkit provides helpful information for agencies on how to apply for a variance to conduct a pilot project consistent with 29 C.F.R. § 1614.102(f) and MD-110 Chapter 1 Section X. (eeoc.gov)
Provide3
  • In explaining the Commission's rationale for pilot projects, the Final Rule preamble noted that all agencies and several other commenters supported the change, and that pilot projects could provide "helpful data for future recommendations regarding changes to the federal sector EEO complaint process. (eeoc.gov)
  • Since the publication of MD-110, agencies have requested that EEOC provide even more information about variances and pilot projects consistent with 29 C.F.R. § 1614.102(f) and MD-110. (eeoc.gov)
  • Pilots fly fixed wing aircraft and helicopters to provide air transportation and other services. (monsterindia.com)
