This article discusses a scoping study on implementing radio frequency identification device (RFID) in a hospital library context, conducted by Joseph Norwood for his MA dissertation at the University of Brighton. The study was carried out during the summer of 2011 to support possible RFID implementation at the Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals (BSUH) Trust, and the library staff were able to use the findings to good effect to create a business plan. This article also acts as the template for the new Dissertations into Practice feature, which was introduced in the March issue (Marshall, A. Health Information and Libraries Journal 2012, 29, 72). The dissertation highlighted here is very practical in nature and had immediate and quantifiable benefits for the Trust library. Future feature articles are likely to reflect the range of health-related dissertation topics which students choose and will include studies on user information behaviour, information services related to mental health and well-being, as well as the impact of technology on health-related library or information services.AM.

Comparison of magnetic seed and RFID methods in the localization of non-palpable breast lesions.

Article Synopsis
- - The study compared the effectiveness of two newer methods for locating non-palpable breast lesions—Magnetic Seed (Magseed) and Radiofrequency Identification (RFID)—against traditional wire-guided techniques.
- - Using turkey breasts and raisins as simulation models, both techniques achieved a 100% success rate in lesion localization, but Magseed had shorter operation times while RFID had shorter incisions.
- - Overall, neither method showed a significant advantage over the other in terms of effectiveness or surgical outcomes, suggesting both can be used safely for lesion localization.

Current approaches to activity-assisted living (AAL) are complex, expensive, and intrusive, which reduces their practicality and end user acceptance. However, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and wireless communications offer new opportunities to enhance AAL systems. These improvements could potentially lower healthcare costs and reduce hospitalisations by enabling more effective identification, monitoring, and localisation of hazardous activities, ensuring rapid response to emergencies.

Article Synopsis
- More women are being diagnosed with early stage breast cancer because of better screening techniques and public awareness.
- A new device called LOCalizerTM helps doctors accurately find and treat tiny tumors that can’t be felt.
- The study looked at how effective this device is in helping patients have successful surgeries and avoid needing extra operations later.

Ensuring the correct identification of the patient is key to matching the correct patients with the proper care (e.g. correct administration of medications and treatments), but it is also applied, for example, to monitoring the patient's movement in the hospital environment.
