While Electronic Prescription Systems (EPS) adoption varies across EU Member States, there's a lack of comprehensive comparative analysis. Existing studies focus on single EPSs, employ diverse methodologies, and lack up-to-date data. This study fills this gap by providing a comprehensive overview of EPS development, functionalities, and usage statistics in each EU Member State.

- * Patients with RDW in the highest range had approximately double the risk of dying within five years compared to those with the lowest RDW.
- * This association remained strong even after accounting for other risk factors and excluding patients who died within the first year, indicating that high RDW is an independent predictor of poor outcomes in heart failure patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating an electronic prescription system (EPS) in the Czech healthcare system, addressing challenges posed by conflicting interests and regulatory requirements.
- It utilizes a process modeling tool based on hierarchical state machines to establish a clear process architecture, facilitating communication among various stakeholders such as healthcare professionals, IT experts, and legislators.
- The resulting process model supports the legislative framework for EPS and aims to minimize misunderstandings, indicating that this approach could benefit other complicated legislative and system design projects in the future.
Background: The i-gel® Plus is a modified version of the i-gel® supraglottic airway device. It contains a wider drainage port; a longer tip; ramps inside the breathing channel; and an additional port for oxygen delivery. There has been no prospective evaluation of this device in clinical practice.

Existing literature primarily discusses specific applications, with limited detailed guidance on the entire process. The methodological details of converting Computed Tomography (CT) images into 3D models are often found in amateur 3D printing forums rather than scientific literature.
