Surveillance for Diabetes in Hospital-Evaluation of Dashboard Effectiveness.

There is a large burden of diabetes in Western Sydney, and this descriptor is also valid for the inpatient population. Optimizing diabetes care in hospital is important to prevent inpatient morbidity. A surveillance system was developed to address this need and a diabetes dashboard was developed around a data model built around the patient journey that integrated key data feeds from the pathology, medication, and patient administration systems.

Impact of Socio-demographic Characteristics on Time in Outpatient Cardiology Clinics: A Retrospective Analysis.

Inequitable access to health services influences health outcomes. Some studies have found patients of lower socio-economic status (SES) wait longer for surgery, but little data exist on access to outpatient services. This study analyzed patient-level data from outpatient public cardiology clinics and assessed whether low SES patients spend longer accessing ambulatory services.

Crime and punishment in Saudi Arabia: Lashing, imprisonment, and other unusual punishments.

Objective: In this paper, we examine the antecedents of the sanctions of lashing and imprisonment for juveniles in Saudi Arabia.

Participants And Setting: The current study examined 437 court cases and files across several court systems in Saudi Arabia to determine the extent to which justice-involved youth are punished. The data were drawn from hundreds of court files and records received from several court systems in Saudi Arabia spanning 2010 to 2015.

Translin facilitates RNA polymerase II dissociation and suppresses genome instability during RNase H2- and Dicer-deficiency.

The conserved nucleic acid binding protein Translin contributes to numerous facets of mammalian biology and genetic diseases. It was first identified as a binder of cancer-associated chromosomal translocation breakpoint junctions leading to the suggestion that it was involved in genetic recombination. With a paralogous partner protein, Trax, Translin has subsequently been found to form a hetero-octomeric RNase complex that drives some of its functions, including passenger strand removal in RNA interference (RNAi).
