Atrial fibrillation is the most encountered cardiac rhythm disorder in clinical practice. It affects <1% of persons aged <60 years. This prevalence increases to 10% in persons aged >80 years (Amerena, Walters, Mirzaee and Kalman, 2013). Atrial fibrillation is a key differential diagnosis in patients presenting with chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, light-headedness, and syncope (Cruickshank, 2008). This paper will examine the differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, and paramedic implications of atrial fibrillation in relation to the case of a 43-year old male who presents with features and ECG findings of atrial fibrillation. It will first examine ...

Outbreaks of infectious disease is a problem that has existed throughout the history of the United States of America with three influenza outbreaks in the 20th century killing approximately 604,000 Americans between 1918-1968 (Johnstone, 2008, p. 1). While pandemics are quite noticeable, a biological weapon attack may be less noticeable. This is a huge issue when it comes to Anthrax which can remain dormant and undetected within an area for a number of years before finding a host to contaminate (Johnstone, 2008, p. 2). Another issue with Anthrax is that it is near indestructible. However, the United States ...

Eye movement tracking and analysis has gained popularity as a critical tool for evaluating interfaces and visual display. Existing tools and methods that are used in analyzing scan paths and eye movements are to a greater extent limited in the nature of tasks that they support. In particular, the tools used have been found ineffective in tracking large amounts of data that has high variations. Eye movement analysis has been used in psychology, medical research, advertising, and cognitive science. Today, using CCTV cameras, human eye gaze, and eye movement and blinking is relatively recorded with ease and with high ...

Preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation are the different stages involved in the management of ...

Protecting citizens, business, and property from the threat of terrorism and naturally manmade disasters is arguably a governor’s most salient responsibility. As the chief executive officer of the states, governors are accountable for overseeing states response to any disaster or emergency. In essence, they must be prepared for the every day events for instance, industrial fires, power outages, tornados, and catastrophes on a scale of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Hence, a new governor must be briefed on the homeland security and how it applies to the state. The paper will provide the new governor with the essential ...

Fritch, Texas was the scene of a wildfire that devastated the small town on May 11, 2014. Prairie fires are not uncommon in the Texas landscape, but they have become more of a threat in recent years secondary to growing populations, the ways in which land is now used, and an ongoing drought in the state. In the nine-year span between 1995 and 2014, more than 157,000 wildfires were reported in Texas with almost 80 percent raging within two miles of residential communities (Warren). The population of Fritch was just over 2000 people. Unlike other small Texas towns ...

Abstract The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher. It is a common practice in air crash investigations to put the blame of such a mishap on the shoulders of its pilots and the air traffic control unit. Most often, the other factors that are inclusive in any successful flight, is omitted. This paper tries to analyze these causes from the perspective of National Transport Safety Board, to generate an independent view about the crash of UPS Flight 1354. After thorough inspection of NTSB reports three main ...

Information security is a sophisticated area of technology that cannot be entirely guaranteed. As asserted by the security experts, security of information can never be absolute. There is a multiplicity of challenges that come with the adoption of technology. Among the many problems is the safety of information being disseminated and stored within the technology-enabled environment (Pagallo, 2011). Moreover, the use of the common network in an environment possesses serious security challenges that make data and information insecure. However, certain security measures can be employed to ensure data and information are protected and made difficult to be infiltrated. There ...

Public opinion about national or international crises, concerning political, economic or health issues, is often shaped accurately or inaccurately by the news media.

Implementation of TPS (Toyota production System) into VMMC (Virginia Mason Medical Center)

The Toyota production system is also known as lean manufacturing. Toyota has applied such a system to reduce the time of making their products and at the same time ensure safer products (Robeznieks 1). Application of such a system in healthcare in Virginia Mason requires that any issue that an employee comes across that is likely to harm a patient is reported immediately. Consequently, it allows further actions to be taken to stop any additional harm to the patient (Furman and Caplan 1). Subsequently, this represents an approach of trying to achieve zero defects used in the production process. As such, using a ...
