During the first half of 1974, 756 emergency home calls have been made by 6 doctors in the City of Oslo. A portable ECG instrument was available at all visits. The visits were unselected as regards complaints. ECG was recorded in 7% of all patients and in 19% of all patients over 60 years of age. The main indication for recording an ECG was chest pain (nearly 2/3 of all recordings). In only a small number of cases did the recording give a definite result as regards diagnosis of management of the case. However, a slight additional benefit was obtained with a majority of the ECG recordings, including what we defined as a phychotherapeutic benefit. The results of this study indicate that the value of a portable electrocardiograph is very limited for emergency home calls in a city.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA.
Objective Prior studies have described the patterns of emergency medical service (EMS) activations in national parks in the United States. However, little data exists regarding EMS activations in local and regional outdoor recreational locations. We performed a retrospective analysis of EMS activations originating from parks and recreational areas in suburban Howard County, Maryland, to characterize those activations determined to be time-critical emergencies.

Objective: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of callers to a statewide mental health crisis line who were transferred to 911 (active rescue).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined mental health crisis line calls transferred to active rescue (N=3,538 calls; N=3,132 unique callers) from the Georgia Crisis and Access Line (2016-2018). Chi-square analyses and t tests were used to examine descriptive differences between caller characteristics and call features.
Machine learning boosts wind turbine efficiency with smart failure detection and strategic placement.

The research study objective seeks to improve the efficiency of wind turbines using state-of-the-art techniques in the domain of ML, making wind energy the key player in fashioning a favorable future. Wind Turbine Health Monitoring (WTHM) is typically achieved through either vibration analysis or by using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) data of wind turbines, wherein conventional fault pattern identification is a time-consuming, guesswork process. This work proposed an intelligent automated approach to early fault detection through the implementation of the HARO (Huber Adam Regression Optimizer) model, which combines Transformer networks with Lasso Regression and the Adam optimizer.
