Information Overload-Do We Read All the Posters Displayed Across the Walls on Hospital Wards?

Background And Objectives: To establish whether posters displayed across the walls on hospital wards are read, what information is important, and how the information should be received.

Methods: Sixty-eight staff and 32 patients' relatives were interviewed across 3 older people's medical wards followed by 20 follow-up secondary questionnaires postintervention.

Results: Only 23% of those interviewed were able to recall any of the posters displayed, and of those, 34% did not find the information useful.

Too much of a good thing: A case series of rare yet pertinent causes of hypercalcaemia and acute kidney injury.

Calcium compounds and vitamin D supplements are readily available as over-the-counter preparations. Whilst integral in maintaining calcium homeostasis in certain patients, excess exogenous intake of these preparations can have deleterious effects, particularly in terms of renal function. We look at the cases of two patients, aged 52 and 34, who were referred into hospital with hypercalcaemia and acute kidney injury (AKI).

FuseAD: Unsupervised Anomaly Detection in Streaming Sensors Data by Fusing Statistical and Deep Learning Models.

The need for robust unsupervised anomaly detection in streaming data is increasing rapidly in the current era of smart devices, where enormous data are gathered from numerous sensors. These sensors record the internal state of a machine, the external environment, and the interaction of machines with other machines and humans. It is of prime importance to leverage this information in order to minimize downtime of machines, or even avoid downtime completely by constant monitoring.
