Published: January 2011

Infusion therapy models are ever changing and growing in modern health care. New technologies and problems arise daily as researchers and clinicians explore our world. As technologies advance, health care costs are also skyrocketing. The vast majority of hospitalized patients will receive some form of infusion therapy during their stay, and many will continue to receive therapy after they are discharged from the inpatient setting. Infusion alliances can aid cost containment by decreasing infusion-related complication rates, affect customer satisfaction, and promote interdisciplinary collaboration. This article discusses the potential benefits of an infusion alliance, details steps for using the performance improvement process when implementing and maintaining an alliance, and outlines the components of a successful business plan.

Risk Factors Associated with Hemoparasites in Dual-Purpose Cattle of Colombia.

Pathogens

Hemoparasitic diseases represent a significant problem with a considerable impact on tropical and subtropical areas of the world. These conditions cause economic losses associated with multi-organic failure and even the death of animals. In these areas, the hemoparasites are transmitted in an enzootic cycle when infectious cattle, such as persistently infected animals, including cows, contribute to the success of transmission.

Time-Series Image-Based Automated Monitoring Framework for Visible Facilities: Focusing on Installation and Retention Period.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Architectural Engineering, Dankook University, 152 Jukjeon-ro, Yongin-si 16890, Republic of Korea.

In the construction industry, ensuring the proper installation, retention, and dismantling of temporary structures, such as jack supports, is critical to maintaining safety and project timelines. However, inconsistencies between on-site data and construction documentation remain a significant challenge. To address this, this study proposes an integrated monitoring framework that combines computer vision-based object detection and document recognition techniques.

: Chemotherapy (CMT) in children can disrupt dental development and calcification, causing long-term dental issues, but good dental care and habits can help improve quality of life. This case report examines permanent dental disturbances in a 7-year, 4-month-old girl undergoing CMT, explores the histology of microdontia, and outlines an oral treatment plan for CMT management. : Clinical examination revealed microdontia and a groove crossing the cervical area (chronological hypoplasia), which were assessed using panoramic radiographs and histological analysis.

Beet crops are highly vulnerable to pest infestations throughout their growth cycle, which significantly affects crop development and yield. Timely and accurate pest identification is crucial for implementing effective control measures. Current pest detection tasks face two primary challenges: first, pests frequently blend into their environment due to similar colors, making it difficult to capture distinguishing features in the field; second, pest images exhibit scale variations under different viewing angles, lighting conditions, and distances, which complicates the detection process.

Characterizing Stream Condition with Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Southeastern Minnesota, USA: Agriculture, Channelization, and Karst Geology Impact Lotic Habitats and Communities.

January 2025

Program in Ecology and Environmental Science and Large River Studies Center, Department of Biology, Winona State University, Winona, MN 55987, USA.

Prior to implementing watershed-wide projects to reduce the impacts of agriculture on regional streams and rivers, stream habitats and benthic aquatic macroinvertebrate communities were assessed at 15 sites on the South Branch Root River and its major tributaries in southeastern Minnesota, USA. Triplicate kick-net samples were collected from each site during three time periods (1998, 1999, 2006/2008) and stream habitats were inventoried within 150 m long sections at each site. In total, 26,760 invertebrates representing 84 taxa were collected and used to rate stream sites using a regional multi-metric benthic index of biotic integrity (BIBI).
