The existing USB connection type of the clip-type pulsmeter equipped with a Hall sensor and a permanent magnet does not have any error or malfunction to measure the pulse wave. The property of the wireless networking system communicating the pulse wave data through the wireless LAN communication by combination USB with Ethernet and Ethernet to Wi-Fi converting system instead of existing USB connection method was investigated. There are exited that the patient needs to stay at close site of the desktop PC without USB connector and the wireless transfer and receiver networking system has pulse wave measurement SW to receive the pulse wave data. Thus it is expected that the study becomes helpful to measure and transfer the exact pulse wave of the patient in a comfortable pose at close range.
A Ab bs st tr ra ac ct t Construction business, which is complex and long-term business, requires accurate estimation and verification in construction costs and payment procedure from project planning to the completion of construction phase. And more importantly, it is necessary to investigate and determine the risk factors related to construction costs during the entire process including design planning, construction drawings, and quantity calculating. But, currently, it is not seem to be adequate to cope with the risk and increased construction costs against the operational budget in terms of actual costs when screening and estimating the bidding cost of public apartment. Therefore, this study selected and analyzed 40 sites' report of construction completion account from 2004 to 2010 focused on the adequacy on the modification of contract and design planning and on the complication of the budget in the beginning of the project. This study deducted various risk causes and results by analyzing actual costs according to year, architectural area, region, construction cost and sale/lease classification. We could find out construction risk according to annual variation of government policy and economy, and also deducted risk items by construction characteristic according to region and architectural area. Study result, we first found out the problems of lowest price award system according to the construction costs. The weight of the cost increase risk was analyzed that subcontract and material costs are very high. Roof and tile work were analyzed highly in subcontract cost risk and reinforcing bar and cement were analyzed highly in material cost risk, among direct construction cost. Finally, this study results could be used in comparing the categories of the construction costs made by specific construction process, belonging to the construction costs, with the operational budget made in the beginning of the project that can enable to grasp unpredictable risks over the construction costs and making quantitative analysis for it through analyzing the range of fluctuation and variations led by the fluctuations in the actual construction costs.
This study examined the safety of an ultrasound-guided peripherally insertion central catheter (PICC) for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: The medical records of consecutive patients who received ultrasound-guided PICC for chemotherapy between Sep. 2016 and Dec. 2017 were reviewed. The diameters of the basilic and brachial veins were measured in all patients. The procedures were performed when the diameter was more than 2.5 mm in the basilic vein first. The procedure was performed on the brachial vein when the diameter of the basilic vein was less than 2.5 mm. The technical success rate, catheter-related complications, duration of catheter service day by veins (basilic vs. brachial) were examined. Results: A total of 113 procedures were analyzed. The mean age was 61.9 ± 10.5 years (range 35-83 years). The technical success rate was 100%. The mean diameters of the basilic and brachial veins were 3.8 ± 0.8 mm and 3.9 ± 1.0 mm, respectively. The mean duration of the catheter service day was 95.8 ± 77.8. No difference in the diameter of the vessels according to age was noted. The incidence of complication-related catheter removals was similar in the two groups (26 in the basilic group and 27 in the brachial group; infection, 15.6% vs 22.4%, P > 0.05 ; thrombosis, 6.3% vs. 6.1%, P > 0.05; occlusion, 4.7% vs 6.1%, P > 0.05). Conclusion:The ultrasound-guided PICC procedure ensures a successful probability in cancer patients. The incidence of complications was similar in the two groups (brachial vs. basilic).
