 “Lean Management”-A Method of Improving Change Management in Healthcare Organizations by Joanna Jasińska* in Determinations in Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology_ Journal of Nanotechnology

 

Abstract
The aim of this article is to present selected ways of developing the management in medical institutions in Poland with the help of Lean Management. The author concentrates on processes of changes in clinical hospitals which include dealing with special tasks in healthcare system, diversity of tasks, medical technology, diversity of relationships with the surrounding, financing from few different sources, limits of resources (especially public ones). The article leads to a conclusion that Lean Management should be a way of thinking..

Introduction
The production management system developed and implemented at the Toyota concern in the period after World War II was recognized as a kind of miracle in the area of management systems, enabling the improvement of productivity, quality and efficiency of enterprises. For years, it was introduced to production systems, as well as in health care and many entities operating in various sectors of the economy under the name Lean Management, Lean Production or simply Lean. Lean in management means eliminating losses and any factors not adding value to a product or service. The key ingredient of Lean is continuous improvement (kaizen). Niedziółka & Piasek [1]. According to Graban, Lean is a set of tools, management system and philosophy, whose introduction can change the way of organization and management of medicinal entities. “A lean system is a method that allows hospitals to improve the quality of patient care by reducing the number of errors and reducing waiting times” Graban [2]. Permanent pursuit of perfection in the management of manufacturing processes is not without a negative impact on the satisfaction of healthcare system employees. It is often not connected with raising salaries, improving work safety or improving working conditions.

Abstract
Here, we report the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by utilizing extract of Psidium guajava. In this study leaf was with extricated alcohol, further this extract is utilized for the preparation of nanoparticles followed by treatment with silver nitrate solution. Color change from colorless to dark-yellow and SPR band (UV-Vis) 420nm which indicates the synthesis of plant reduced silver nanoparticles. The presences of proteins as capping agent, which increase the stability of AgNPs in the colloids, are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated the presence at spherical AgNPs in the range of 15-30nm. The bactericidal activity of standard antibiotics was essentially expanded in the presence of AgNPs against pathogenic bacteria, S Aureus, Staphylococcus, E Coli, P Putida and fungus A Niger.

Introduction
A nanoparticle is a substance with a size of 1-100nm; containing tens to thousands of particles. The interfacial level generally comprises inorganic and organic particles [1]. The prefix word nano commonly used for particles that have size up to several nanometers [2]. The national nanotechnology initiative defined the nanoparticle as structures have size ranging from 1-100nm in at smallest amount one dimension [3]. Nanoparticles can be easily synthesized utilizing different strategies by different methodologies accessible for the synthesis of nanoparticles includes chemical, physical biological metal to synthesize nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are various types. Organic nanoparticles which involve carbon nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles involve magnetic nanoparticles, noble nanoparticles like gold and silver and semi-conductor nanoparticles like titanium oxide and zinc oxide. Green synthesis furnish progress over chemical as well as physical techniques it is prize effective, environment friendly, easily scaled for bigger scale synthesis and this strategy no compelling reason utilize high pressure, energy, temperature and harmful materials [4]. Nanoparticles assume a vital part in drug delivery, sensing, gene delivery, artificial implants, diagnostics imaging, and tissue engineering.

Metal Analysis in Rice Seedlings_ Crimson Publishers

 Metal Analysis in Rice Seedlings by Chooto P* in Annals of Chemical Science Research_ Journal of Advanced Chemical Sciences

 

Abstract
Rice and rice products are widely consumed all over the world and the determinations of metals via a selection of techniques still play a leading role not only for the samples of rice grains but also extended to rice seedlings with the benefits of modifying essential elements into natural samples as well as to monitor the metal pathways and to envisage the mechanisms of metal uptake. In addition, there are a large number of parameters to be dealt with. To help those interested and favored to start or further their studies reach the purpose of these specific projects, this article provides the overview to understand the trend of upcoming research work concerning metal analysis in rice parts, products and environments.

Introduction
Pathways of metals from environment and nutrients to plants and plant products play an important role in the living of human beings due to the fact that they affect metal uptake from the consumption of plants especially staple food, or to be more specific, rice which is essentially the most consumed food all over the world. The analysis of rice seeds or grains has been widely researched and well-documented. However, the increase of rice seedlings as functional food as well as effects of metal-contaminated environment makes metal analysis in these types of seedling samples unavoidable.

A Comparative Analysis of Vitamin D3 and Biofield Energy Treated Vitamin D3 in Bone Health Using MG-63 Cell Line_ Crimson Publishers

 A Comparative Analysis of Vitamin D3 and Biofield Energy Treated Vitamin D3 in Bone Health Using MG-63 Cell Line by Snehasis Jana* in Orthoplastic Surgery & Orthopedic Care International Journal_ Orthopedic Care International Journal

 

Abstract

Poor bone health is related with various bone disease that predisposes to fractures, while sufficient supplementation with calcium and vitamin D suggested prevention of bone diseases. The present study aimed to find the effect of Consciousness Energy Healing based vitamin D3 and DMEM medium on in vitro bone health parameters using MG-63 cells such as alkaline phosphates enzyme (ALP) activity, collagen levels, and bone mineralization. The test items (TI) i.e. vitamin D3 and DMEM medium were divided into two parts. The test samples received Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment by Lauree Ann Duprey-Reed and samples were defined as the Biofield Energy Treated (BT) samples, while the other parts of each sample were denoted as the untreated test items (UT). Cell viability using MTT assay showed that cell viability range 76% to 139% with safe and nontoxic profile of test samples on MG-63 cell line. ALP was significantly increased by 171.8% and 189.7% at 10μg/mL in the UT-DMEM+BT-TI and BT-DMEM+BT-TI groups, respectively as compared with the untreated group.

In addition, 100% and 33.3% increased ALP at 0.1 and 10μg/mL, respectively in BT-DMEM+UT-TI group as compared with the untreated group. The level of collagen was significantly increased at 10μg/mL by 145.8% in the UT-DMEM+BT-TI group, while 65.8% and 145.8% at 1 and 10μg/mL, respectively in BT-DMEM+UT-TI group as compared with the untreated group. In addition, BT-DMEM+BT-TI group showed a significant increased collagen level by 86.3% and 136.1% at 1 and 10μg/mL, respectively as compared with the untreated test item and DMEM group.

Using Leap Motion Technology in the Development of a Touchless Screen Electronic Dissector Guide in the Anatomy Dissection Laboratory_ Crimson Publishers

Using Leap Motion Technology in the Development of a Touchless Screen Electronic Dissector Guide in the Anatomy Dissection Laboratory by Mei Kuen Florence Tang* in Open Access Research in Anatomy_ Journal of Anatomy

 

Abstract
Anatomy education is a cornerstone of the medical profession education, and knowledge acquisition relied on dissection of human cadavers [1], which is an optimal setting for active learning on anatomical knowledge. Without hands-on experience, there is a gap between the practical knowledge and theoretical knowledge among student learning. Thus, medical students respectfully call these body cadaver donors as “silent teachers” [2].

The availability of cadavers is one key factor in determining how medical students will be able to learn from human dissection. In Hong Kong, like many European countries, a major source of cadavers comes from a voluntary body donationprogram, yet the local institutional-based donation program was not implemented until 2011. With a yearly intake of 250undergraduate students on the MBCHB program, the medical school needs at least 40 human cadavers for teaching purposes. Before the implementation, body donation for medical education and research was scarce, where there wereless than ten body donor registers and less than 20 bodies received for teaching purposes. The low donation rate not only fails to meet the learning need but also impede the teaching quality. After seven years of efforts, there are around 13,000 registered donors in the system, and the institution received 100 human cadavers yearly [2].

In each dissection, students will be divided into groups of 12 to 15 sharing one cadaveron the dissecting table. Before the laboratorydissection, students attend a pre-laboratory talk learning the dissecting procedures to examine those clinical anatomical structures. Each group shared one textbook of Atlas of Anatomy to identify and solve topographical structural problems. After class, books are not made available outside the laboratory. With such a big group and little resources, students often felt frustrated over limited exposure to learning from a valuable cadaver class due to limited resource and time. “I was inadequately prepared for this initial encounter with the human cadaver, and I learned little only,” a student groaned after class. Quality anatomy teaching is challenging due to a lack of time in the medical curriculum, qualified teachers, and insufficient cadaver donation [3]. Above all, anatomy is one of the disciplines requiring an innovative pedagogy to stimulate medical students’ interest in learning.
