Abstract— pHealth or personalizad health is based in the
concept of individual disease prevention and treatment and wellfare in the
health system. We propose for this a mobile system for diabetes that contain a
decision support system (DSS) to calculate insulina shuts based on the patient
situation at the moment. The system send the data into a data base that can be
reviewed by the doctor or diet controler.

Abstract—Biosensors are devices, preferably
small and portable, that allow the selective quantification of chemical and
biochemical analytes. The advantages comprise: high spatial and temporal
resolution, high selectivity, easy implementation, prone to miniaturization,
short response, detection of the analyte without prior separation, etc.
Different approaches can be used to elaborate
these devices depending on how electron transfer occurs between enzyme and
transducer. Immobilization of biological material on the transducer and coating
method used to prevent interference are the principal steps to improve these
analytical devices.
A sensor for “in vivo” glucose monitoring
require miniaturization of the device, long-term stability (minimizing drift
and the need for calibration), elimination of oxygen dependency, user-friendly
and biocompatibility.
Index Terms— biosensor, enzyme, glucose, glutamate, in vivo monitoring,
lactate, Prussian blue and telemedicine.

Abstract— This
lecture gives an introduction to basics of the medical image communication
standard DICOM and its implementation initiative IHE, and some of the recent
extensions are introduced, addressing Substance Administration Information
Services, Deformable Spatial Registration Storage, Encapsulation of CDA
Documents, 3D X-Ray, and Specimen Identification and Revised Pathology, as well
as the IHE Pathology Technical Framework. The corresponding DICOM Supplements
indicate the ongoing extension of the standard to non-radiological medical
domains. The IHE technical framework illustrates the continuing efforts put on
the implementation of the standard in the clinical workflow.

Abstract—Nowadays
good material is essential for a correct diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Fine-needle aspiration cytology, is together with other biological samples a
guaranty for personalized diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This means that
image storage and access is an essential part of the Biobanking activities
related with proteomics, genomics, pharmacokinetic and other techniques.

Abstract— We report
an empirical analysis of the responses of the supply and demand for secondary
care to waiting list size and waiting times. Our analysis focuses on the supply
responses of a single hospital and the demand responses of the GP practices it
serves, and distinguishes between first outpatient visits, inpatient
admissions, daycase treatment and emergency admissions. We find that the demand
from practices for first outpatient visits is negatively affected by waiting
times and distance to the hospital.
Increases in waiting times and waiting lists lead to increases in
supply; the supply of elective inpatient admissions is affected negatively by
current emergency admissions and positively by lagged waiting list and waiting
time. The effect of telemedicine is considered.
Index Terms—
hospital admissions, waiting time, waiting list

Abstract— There are
more than 200 million people in the world with diabetes mellitus. Tight control of blood glucose has been shown
to significantly reduce the risk of diabetic complications. Patients monitor their own blood glucose
concentrations, usually using a sample of blood obtained from a
finger-stick. The development of a
device for continuous, non-invasive in vivo monitoring of glucose concentration
is a very high priority. Several
strategies have been adopted, including implanted sensors, reverse
iontophoresis and infrared spectroscopy.
The development of a reliable, accurate and specific noninvasive method
to measure blood glucose is likely to substantially improve the management of
diabetes.
Index Terms—
diabetes mellitus, monitoring, glucose, telemetry.

Abstract— Emerging
technologies have make available a large number of life science data, which is
related to relevant and important publications in the area. Popular
authority-flow based ranking techniques have shown to be precise to
discriminate hyperlinked objects in terms of relevance and importance;
particularly, these ranking techniques are able to distinguish relevant and
important publications or Golden publications. However, evaluating
authority-flow based techniques is usually expensive in large datasets. In this paper we present the problem of
identifying Golden publications efficiently and we propose an approximated
solution to this problem. The propose solution is defined in terms of the
Direct Sampling technique propose to sample Bayesian networks. We conduct an
experimental study on large biological datasets. Our experimental results show
that the proposed technique is able to identify the 90% of Golden publications,
while time needed is less than 50% of the execution time of the exact solution.
Index Terms—Ranking
metrics, authority-flow, PageRank, ObjectRank, Golden publications, sampling

Abstract— Biobanks are core repositories of
clinical samples and related clinical/molecular information, to be used for
research and or diagnosis, which have well defined quality criteria. The need
to implement a quality assurance system comes from the need to guarantee the
quality of the samples supplied to the researchers. In the present document we
review how to set up a quality management system, and how to do it in
accordance with the ISO 9001:2000 standard.
Index Terms—Biobank, repository, quality ISO
9001:2000 standard.

innovative slide scanning system which can create high resolution digital
slides from the glass pathology slides. The automatic slide loader system
allows up to 210 glass slides to be rapidly scanned at a choice of resolutions
to produce images at diagnostic resolution and with superb colour fidelity.
Special software allows the digital slides to be viewed locally or over a
network as if using a “virtual microscope”.

Abstract—This paper describes a supervised
architecture for telesurgery based in haptic master devices and slave robots.
The architecture has been designed in order to be implanted in hospitals where
a remote expert surgeon is required to guide and supervise a minimally invasive
surgery (MIS) performed by a local non-expert surgeon. The system will allow
that the remote expert surgeon guides the local surgeon using a surgical
simulator. The local surgeon will perform the operation controlling the slave
robots by the haptic masters in the operating room and following the indications
of the remote expert surgeon.

Abstract— In Uganda there is one pathologist
for every 1.5 million of inhabitants. Rural physician takes 14-90 days to receive
Biopsy results. The internet is accessible at most remote rural hospitals. To
pilot use of static telepathology in a remote rural African hospital setting.
Touch imprint smears were made from routine
biopsy samples at a rural hospital in a burkits lymphoma endemic area. They
were stained with H &E then photographed using a 1.3 mega pixel digital
photo microscopy camera. The images were viewed, captured and emailed to a
pathologist, 600km away for comment on quality of image and possible diagnosis.
The time interval between sending the image and receiving the response was
noted.
Within an hour, response and feed back on how
to improve the imaging were received. All the specimens were identified as non
specific chronic inflammation and not burkits lymphoma. Diagnosis was confirmed
by subsequent pathological sectioning and staining. All participants felt this
was a better method for handling biopsy specimens.
Static telepathology works and can reduce the
waiting time for biopsy results in remote rural African settings.
Key words: telepathology, lymphoma, diagnosis,
