International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

More than 250 submerged archaeological sites were identified in the Lagoon of Venice, which account for an historic and artistic heritage of extraordinary value. These sites are endangered by several environmental and human factors: erosion, chemical pollution, organisms (mainly wood borers), motor-boat traffic, fishery activities, and robbers. A Decision Support System (DSS), named ArcheoRisk, was developed to include the safeguarding of archaeological sites within the environmental management of the Venice lagoon and to select most effective safeguarding/rehabilitation interventions, whenever needed. The DSS relies on a Geographical Information System platform (Arcview) and is composed of two modules: (1) assessment of archaeological …

Reducing Childhood Pedestrian Injuries: Proceedings Of A Multidisciplinary Conference, Richard A. Schieber, Maria Vegega

United States Public Health Resources

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Motor vehicle crashes are associated with one of every five deaths among children 1 to 14 years of age in the United States, and pedestrian injuries account for a third of them. Compared with occupant injuries, pedestrian injuries are more severe; death is five times more likely to occur among those injured. In 1999, 533 child pedestrians were killed, and at least 30,000 children were nonfatally injured in traffic. Another 200 were killed in non-traffic areas, including driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots. Traumatic brain injury accounts for more than half the fatalities.
Dr. Schieber noted that the decline …

Percutaneous Revascularisation In Diabetic Patients With Coronary Artery Disease, Wai-Hong Chen, Chu-Pak Lau

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Diabetic patients with coronary artery disease are associated with an unfavourable long-term outcome. Surgical revascularisation on top of medical therapy has been shown to confer survival benefit in patients with mutivessel and left main disease. With the emergence of the percutaneous approach of revascularisation, several clinical trials have been conducted to compare these two modalities of treatment. Consistent results were demonstrated in the diabetic subgroup that coronary artery bypass grafting is superior to balloon angioplasty in preventing late adverse cardiac event. With the advancement of percutaneous technique using coronary stenting as the predominant mode of catheter based revascularisation, the latest …

The Post-Madit Ii Era: Icd For All Post-Infarct Patients With Moderate To Severe Left Ventricular Dysfunction?, Kathy Lai-Fun Lee, Chu-Pak Lau

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Device therapy has become the preferred treatment for patients who have survived sudden cardiac death. Throughout the last decade, large-scale randomized clinical trials have provided consistent evidence on the clinical efficacy of device therapy. ICD is proven to be superior to anti-arrhythmic drugs in patients with structural heart diseases who suffer from haemodynamically significant ventricular arrhythmias. The role of ICD in primary prevention of sudden death in selected patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction is also widely established after the Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implant Trial (MADIT) and the Multicenter Unsustained Tachycardia Trial (MUSTT).

Hyponatremia In A Cold Weather Ultraendurance Race, Kristin J. Stuempfle, Donald R. Lehmann, H. Samuel Case, Stephen Bailey, Sherri Lind Hughes, Jennifer Mckenzie, Deborah Evans

Health Sciences Faculty Publications

We assessed the incidence and etiology of hyponatremia in the 100-mile (161 km) Iditasport ultramarathon. Subjects (8 cyclists, 8 runners) were weighed and serum sodium was measured pre- and post-race. Race diets were analyzed to determine fluid and sodium consumption. Subjects were split by post-race serum sodium concentration into hyponatremic and normonatremic groups for statistical analyses. Seven of 16 subjects (44%) were hyponatremic. The hyponatremic group exhibited a significant decrease in serum sodium concentration (137.0 to 132.9 mmol/L, and the normonatremic group experienced a significant decrease in weight (82.1 to 80.2 kg) pre- to post-race. The hypornatremic group drank more …

Collusion Over Rules, Robert H. Lande, Howard P. Marvel

All Faculty Scholarship

Many instances of anticompetitive collusion are designed not to affect prices and output directly, but rather to shape the rules under which competition takes place. They help to cushion competitors from hard competition through such "rules" as restraints on advertising, sham ethical codes, or bans on discounts, coupons, "free" services, or extended hours of operation. Instead of collusion directly over outcomes, firms attuned to the strategic impact of their activities often agree on ways in which to shape their environments in order to soften competition and to insulate themselves from hard competition in ways that will lead to higher prices. …
