Cautiously optimistic: paediatric critical care nurses’ perspectives on data-driven algorithms in low-resource settings—a human-centred design study in Malawi by Margot Rakers, Daniel Mwale, Lieke de Mare, Lezzie Chirambo, Bart Bierling, Alice Likumbo, Josephine Langton, IMPALA Study team, Niels Chavannes, Hendrikus van Os, Job Calis, Kiran Dellimore, María Villalobos-Quesada

“…Abstract Background Paediatric critical care nurses face challenges in promptly detecting patient deterioration and delivering high-quality care, especially in low-resource settings (LRS). Patient monitors equipped with data-driven algorithms that monitor and integrate clinical data can optimise scarce resources (e.g. trained staff) offering solutions to these challenges. …”

Practical Well Test Analysis of a Hydraulically Fractured Low Permeability Gas Reservoir: A Case History by Hazim N. Dmour

“…The primary objective of hydraulic fracturing is to create a propped fracture with sufficient conductivity and length to amplify or at least optimize well performance of low permeability tight gas reservoir. The oil industry has suggested that hydraulically fractured tight gas wells performance is hindered significantly by non-Darcy flow effect.This work will present an investigation of non-Darcy flow effect to hydraulically fractured gas wells performance and provide the development, validation, and application of actual well test analysis for wells with a finite conductivity vertical fracture.Also, this work presents the results obtained in the study of actual post frac modified isochronal test data of gas wells intersected by a finite conductivity vertical fracture in a tight low permeability gas reservoir. …”

Effect of high-flux and low-flux hemodialysis on survival rate of maintenance hemodialysis patients:A Meta analysis by DU Li-guo, XU Xiao, HU Yu-gang, LI Xiao-ning

“…Objective To compare the impact of high-flux hemodialysis(HFHD) and low-flux hemodialysis(LFHD) on survival rate of maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients.Methods We searched Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang data and VIP from the establishment of the database to March 1,2016 to identify random controlled trials(RCT) and prospective controlled trials(PCT) on the impact of HFHD and LFHD on survival rate of MHD patients.The quality of the selected trials was appraised and the data were extracted according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.RevMan 5.2 software was used for the Meta analysis.Results Eight researches involving 8 561 patients were included in this study.The Meta analysis found that in MHD patients,HFHD patients had higher long-term survival rate than LFHD patients[HR= 0.71,95%CI:(0.63,0.8),P<0.05].In further subgroup analysis,it was found that HFHD patients had lower all-cause mortality(ACM)(P<0.05) no matter the follow-up period was longer than 3 years or not In MHD patients,the cardiovascular mortality was higher than the incidence of death caused by infection(P<0.05).As compared with the LFHD patients,HFHD patients had lower cardiovascular mortality[OR = 0.79,95%CI:(0.65,0.96),P = 0.02],No difference was found in infection-associated mortality between HFHD and LFHD patients[OR= 0.90,95%CI,(0.69,1.18),P = 0.45].Conclusions Based on this Meta analysis,HFHD can improve the long-term survival rate in MHD patients and reduce cardiovascular mortality.…”
