Background And Aim: Following the coming into force of the International Labour Organisation Maritime Labour Convention (ILO/MLC) and International Maritime Organisation Standards for Training, Certification and Watchkeeping, Manila 2010 (IMO/STCW) amendments, the objective of this article is to provide the shipping community with an initial assessment of the economic reasons and business case, in support of both publicly financed and private telemedicine being implemented on board commercial vessels.
Materials And Methods: It provides the global scale of the requirement, the number of Telemedicine Assistance Services (TMAS) calls handled by participating TMAS, the average direct and indirect costs incurred by both TMAS and ship operators, responding to medical emergencies, and also provides a calculation of the market size of about 760 million Euro/year. It estimates a return on investment per ship, of implementing telemedicine on board to meet the MLC and STCW requirements at less than 1 year.
Background: There is little data on the risk of deep vein thrombosis after knee arthroscopy.
Patients And Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study to establish the incidence of venous thrombo-embolic (VTE) complications after knee arthroscopy in daycare, as detected by bilateral complete compression ultrasonography (CCUS) at day 14 (11-17) postoperatively. 335 patients completed bilateral extended ultrasound.
