Bedside patient data viewer using RFID and e-Ink technology.

In the daily routine of hospitals, which work with paper based medical records, the staff has to find the appropriate patient file if it needs information about the patient. With the introduction of ELGA the Austrian hospitals have to use specific standards for their clinical documentation. These structured documents can be used to feed an e-Ink reader with information about every patient in a hospital.

Urinary heat shock protein-72 excretion in clinical and experimental renal ischemia.

Renal ischemia not only causes injury but also induces repair mechanisms, such as the cellular induction of the 72-kilodalton heat shock protein HSP-72. The aim of this study was to determine whether HSP-72 is excreted in urine after ischemic renal injury. The first urine of six pediatric allograft recipients was examined for proteinuria and urinary HSP-72 excretion.
