Background: Electronic medical records (EMRs) can potentially improve the efficiency and effectiveness of patient care, especially in the emergency department (ED) setting. Multiple barriers to implementation of EMR have been described. One important barrier is physician resistance. The "ED Dashboard" is an EMR developed in a busy tertiary care hospital ED. Its implementation was exceptionally smooth and successful.
Study Objectives: We set out to examine the design features used in the development of the system and assess which of these features played an important role in the successful implementation of the ED Dashboard.
Methods: An anonymous survey of users of the ED Dashboard was conducted in January and February 2009 to evaluate their perceptions of the degree of success of the implementation and the importance of the design features used in that success. Results were analyzed using SPSS software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL).
Results: Of the 188 end-users approached, 175 (93%) completed the survey. Despite minimal training in the use of the system, 163 (93%) perceived the system as easy or extremely easy to use. Users agreed that the design features employed were important contributors to the system's success. Being alerted when new test results were ready, the use of "most common" lists, and the use of color were features that were considered valuable to users.
Conclusion: Success of a medical information system in a busy ED is, in part, dependent on careful attention to subtle details of system design.

Designing efficient and cost-effective electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) under demanding acidic environments plays a critical role in advancing proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts with atomically dispersed metals have gained attention for their affordability, excellent catalytic performance, and distinctive features including consistent active sites and high atomic utilization. Over the past decade, significant achievements have been made in this field.

Purpose: Dynamic eye-tracking paradigms are an engaging and increasingly used method to study social attention in autism. While prior research has focused primarily on younger populations, there is a need for developmentally appropriate tasks for older children.
Methods: This study introduces a novel eye-tracking task designed to assess school-aged children's attention to speakers involved in conversation.
Anisotropic Plasmon Resonance in TiCT MXene Enables Site-Selective Plasmonic Catalysis.

The ever-growing interest in MXenes has been driven by their distinct electrical, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties. In this context, further revealing their physicochemical attributes remains the key frontier of MXene materials. Herein, we report the anisotropic localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) features in TiCT MXene as well as site-selective photocatalysis enabled by the photophysical anisotropy.

The chloroform extract of leaves of L, reduced the levels of lipid profile in rats with hypercholesterolaemia to near-normal levels. Additionally, it significantly decreased the amount of malondialdehyde (MDA). In addition, the extract augmented the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) in the hypercholesterolemic treated rats.

Purpose: Splenic metastases (SM) from breast cancer (SMBC) are exceedingly rare. To date, the relevant literature is primarily based on pan-tumour species, with only a few studies exploring SM specifically in relation to breast cancer. As such, the present retrospective study explored the clinicopathological characteristics and prognoses of patients with SMBC at the breast care centre of the authors' hospital.
