مستخلص: Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in the world today. Risk factors are those factors that influence the development of CVD. Risk factors can be divided into materialistic (genetic predisposition, smoking, alcohol) and non-materialistic (psychosocial factors). Our goal is to note the role of the health system, to emphasize the importance of psychosocial factors in the pathogenesis of CVD, explain the relationship between psychosocial factors and other risk factors, stress the importance of prevention through the provision of management of the cardiovascular system (CVS) diseases. Methods: A descriptive analysis was performed on scientific studies in several published articles in journals on CVS: Public Health Reviews, CVD, European Heart Journal, Materia Socio Medica and other indexed journals that publish articles on CVS. Results and Conclusions: The importance and role of the health system in the early detection, diagnosis, therapy and CVS disease prevention is presented through three thematic areas: (a) The incidence and prevalence of CVS diseases; (b) treatment of CVS diseases and (c) promotion of health in patients with CVS disease and those the risk of their occurrence. Health promotion is the most important aspect of the health system monitoring. Health promotion is adequately implemented ifthe management ofCVD is proper. The main objectives of CVD management are: Preventing or delaying the occurrence of CVD, reducing the number and severity of worsening and complications of CVD. Management Includes: Individual and family, the health system and the community. Materialistic and non-materialistic risk factors together contribute to the development of CVD.

مستخلص: As the fact that today is conducted a number of scientific research works in the field of medicine, it is necessary to define the steps by which it is carried out to make it universal and to have scientific value. This paper describes the research methods, study design, the way in which one should be written, and why it is important to publicize the same. Special emphasis is placed on scientometrics as the science that evaluates scientific papers and their citation in the selected sample of journals. The paper also answers why scientific research works should be carried out and what kind of satisfaction they provide to the researcher. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: Semantic interoperability, a prerequisite to eHealth projects, relies on sharing both information and knowledge models between information systems. Two of the standards of information models are HL7 v3 and the European norm, EN13606/OpenEHR. The paper compares both standards on a fragment of the prenatal medical record, the APGAR score. Two factors are compared: the formal representation of both information models, and the binding to knowledge models. The HL7v3 perinatality DMIM specification and the OpenEHR APGAR archetype were used. HL7v3 appears to be more formal than OpenEHR and able to represent in an easier way the clinical context. For both standards, the binding to reference terminologies such as LOINC is poor. We provide recommendations to improve the standards. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: In health care services, technology requires that correct information be duly available to professionals, citizens and authorities, worldwide. Thus, clinical laboratory sciences require standardized electronic exchanges for results of laboratory examinations. The NPU (Nomenclature, Properties and Units) coding system provides a terminology for identification of result values (property values). It is structured according to BIPM, ISO, IUPAC and IFCC recommendations. It uses standard terms for established concepts and structured definitions describing: which part of the universe is examined, which component of relevance in that part, which kind-of-property is relevant. Unit and specifications can be added where relevant [System(spec)—Component(spec); kind-of-property(spec) = ? unit]. The English version of this terminology is freely accessible at http://dior.imt.liu.se/cnpuTest/ and http://www.labterm.dkTest, directly or through the IFCC and IUPAC websites. It has been nationally used for more than 10 years in Denmark and Sweden and has been translated into 6 other languages. The NPU coding system provides a terminology for dedicated kinds-of-property following the international recommendations. It fits well in the health network and is freely accessible. Clinical laboratory professionals worldwide will find many advantages in using the NPU coding system, notably with regards to an accreditation process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: Semantic interoperability (SIOp) is a major issue for health care systems having to share information across professionals, teams, legacies, countries, languages and citizens. The World Health Organisation (WHO) develops and updates a family of health care terminologies (ICD, ICF, ICHI and ICPS) and has embarked on an open web-based cooperation to revise ICD 11 using ontology driven tools. The International Health Terminology Standard Development Organisation (IHTSDO) updates, translates and maps SNOMED CT to ICD 10. We present the application of the CEN/ISO standard on categorial structure to bind terminologies and ontologies to harmonise and to map between these international terminologies.

مستخلص: Semantic interoperability of clinical standards is a major challenge in eHealth across Europe. It would allow healthcare professionals to manage the complete electronic healthcare record of the patient regardless of which institution generated each clinical session. Clinical archetypes are fundamental for the consecution of semantic interoperability, but they are built for particular electronic healthcare record standards. Therefore, methods for transforming archetypes between standards are needed. In this work, a method for transforming archetypes between ISO 13606 and openEHR, based on Model-Driven Engineering and Semantic Web technologies, is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: One of the most common events in Surgical Ward is admission of patients with biliary tract disease. To evaluate such patients, it is necessary to create appropriate database and define attributes that will be analyzed. The patients should be divided in groups for analysis and data processing. There were 219 patients included in the study. All patients were selected on the basis of ICD-10 codes and then divided into categories according to the code. In order to assess selected patients, the database was created with all relevant questions about anamnesis, diagnostic tests and surgical procedures. The data about patients was entered into the database. It is possible to analyze data about the most frequent disorders of biliary tract. The most common entity was chronic cholecystitis with calculus and most common procedure was laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The other important attributes are also assessed. ICD-10 classification can be used as a basis for aggregation of data of the patients with biliary tract disease. Some of the codes are more frequent than others and some are rarely used.

مستخلص: To the individual, social care can be an essential part of maintaining health, as is reflected by the WHO definition of health as being one of wellbeing. However, health informatics currently narrowly restricts itself to health organizations' activities. Digital records in social care are increasing, raising the need to recognize the area of social care informatics. This new domain needs support and nurture, whilst the delivery of social and related care needs to be harmonized with healthcare delivery. In turn, this raises important new issues as to how to best support the citizen, especially when they are dependent, including issues of information sharing, service co-ordination, sharing of meaning and objectives, and of respect for autonomy.

مستخلص: In this study we apply Social Network Analysis and Agent Based Simulation techniques to visualize and explore informal social networks amongst staff at the Akdeniz University Hospital to assess and evaluate properties of the organization in terms of its ability to share knowledge and innovate, which is crucial for healthcare organizations delivering a health service. We first prepared an e-mail-based questionnaire, and asked administrative staff at Akdeniz University Hospital, a number of questions including (i) who they would contact if they had an innovative idea regarding their work (ii) who they would consult if they wanted to implement their idea, and (iii) to whom they would talk when they wanted to find out what is going on socially in the work place. We use a bespoke software tool called Organizational Forms Simulator to visualize and analyze informal social networks obtained from the questionnaire. The analysis reveals hubs, lynchpins, and unknown leaders as well as communications bottlenecks, and overall connectivity in the organization. The software tool we use also allows us to run what-if scenarios, to see how long it would take for an ‘epidemic’ of a good idea to spread across the staff social networks, using the informal links obtained from the questionnaire. We believe the study will help us to assess the current state of informal social networks amongst staff, and help the hospital management to improve connectivity in the organization.

مستخلص: The experiential knowledge of pediatric health practitioners encompasses vital insights into the clinical efficacy of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for pediatric pain management. Yet, this knowledge is not readily disseminated to other practitioners and translated into practice guidelines. We argue that a peer-to-peer knowledge sharing mechanism can serve as a key change agent to improve the attitudes, beliefs and methods for pediatric pain management. We are using collaborative technologies, in the realm of Web 2.0, to develop a web-based knowledge sharing medium for fostering a community of pediatric pain practitioners that engages in collaborative learning and problem solving. We present the design and use of a web portal featuring a discussion forum to facilitate experiential knowledge sharing based on our LINKS knowledge sharing model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
