Using Barcode Scanners in Hospitals

Healthcare industry is one of the industries, which is using the barcodes to improve the efficiency of operations and procedures in healthcare of the patients. Hospitals are one of the healthcare industry, in which the barcode technology is being used.

Barcode system is being used by the hospitals to identify patients, manage viagra cialis online pharmacy pharmacy, identify drugs, track test specimens, and track the sterilization of the surgical tools. Using barcode systems can reduce the medical mistakes. Barcodes are used on the wrist bands of the patients. These barcodes can be read by the barcode scanners. There are many type of barcode scanners in market with different sizes, models, and technology. You can see different type of sizes and technologies in Symbol scanners.


Nurses can scan the baracode on the patient and can send medication into a computer by using barcode system. Such information is checked by the computer against the doctor's orders and if there is any problem it alerts nurses. 85 percent of the errors can be reduced by the using a barcode to verify the medication, according to the Healthcare Information and Management Systems.


Though it is expensive, barcode system is used by many businesses, because there are many advantages of using barcode system. In order to use the barcode technology, barcode scanner and barcode printer, barcode software and a computer is required. The important thing is staff should be given training to use this technology.


So in this way barcodes are helpful to reduce the errors in medication in hospitals. Not only in hospitals, they are useful in every aspect and industry.

Partners in Health of Maine

We have all heard about the good work being done by Partners in Health, but there is another PIH, lesser known, but equally well-intentioned. It is called Partners in Health of Maine. It is a nonprofit, nondenominational organization whose mission is to provide health services, training, education and volunteer opportunities for health care providers in third world countries. Its activities have been limited to Central America, with a focus on Nicaragua and Guatemala. The organization grew around the volunteer work of Dr. Robert Bach, a general surgeon from Maine, and other health care workers who had been volunteering in Central America since 1975. The two PIHs started at about the same time, and I guess both want to keep the name!

Most of the work of PIH of Maine has centered on the Autonomous Atlantic Region (RAAN), Nicaragua’s largest province, which occupies approximately a fifth of the land area and is located on the Northeastern Caribbean coast. This area is inhabited by indigenous Miskito Indians and people of Afro-Caribe and Spanish descent.

A friend of a friend provides some of the color of the Maine organization in a recent email, written after attending a briefing in the US, complete with a story of low-cost innovation by a clever team:

I am going to Nicaragua because I was invited by old friends from Waterville. John and Mary got involved five or six years ago. The work was originally focused on providing medical care to a town on the Atlantic side of Nicaragua. John is a pathologist, and he has been instrumental in writing grants and training Nicaraguan doctors to prepare and read slides in an effort to catch some of the rampant cases of cervical cancer early enough to provide treatment.

In the States, slides are prepared with the aid of a $30,000.00 tissue processor. The machine is massive and the reagents are unavailable in Nicaragua. So the ever-resourceful John invented a way to process slides using a $69.00 microwave oven! He enlisted the aid of his brother-in-law, a retired computer chip engineer, and the two of them figured out a way to program the oven to cycle and hold the kind of temperatures required to "fix" the slides.


And, then some more!

John’s wife Mary is an artist. She was featured on one of the slides shown during the PIHOM presentation...her smiling face lit up the screen and the caption underneath read “I’m an artist...is there anything I can do to help?”

Dr. Bach admitted he groaned a bit inside when she showed up with her offer! And today she has grown into the heart and soul of the tiny grassroots group. Mary has painted colorful and uplifting murals on the online pharmacy viagra walls, she has taken over the newsletter, she writes grants, she teaches English classes. Yes, there was/is a lot she can do to help and her example was a great inspiration to the non-medical folks in the room. "Health" directly translates to "hope" in Arabic and medical care is only one leg of the stool.


This is a lovely example of people helping people. They are looking for volunteers, supplies, and cash. Go to this website for more information on how to help out.

Penis extender increased flaccid length by almost 1/3: Independent clinical study

Men who wore a penile extender every day for six months were able to increase the flaccid length of their order cialis by up to 32% and their erectile function by up to 36%, according to an independent clinical study published in the March issue of BJU International.



Researchers from San Giovanni Battista Hospital at the University of Turin, Italy, are now suggesting that this treatment could provide a viable alternative to surgery, as the results were significant and patient satisfaction with the technique was high.



"Twenty-one highly motivated patients, with an average age of 47, were enrolled and 16 completed the 12-month study" says consultant urologist Dr Paolo Gontero.





"Having undergone psychosexual counselling, to make sure that the treatment would be beneficial, the men were asked to wear the Andro-Penis device for between four and six hours a day for six months. The device comprises a plastic ring, two dynamic rods that produce the traction and a silicon band to hold the cialis in place. The men were told to increase the traction from 600g in month one to up to 1200g in month six. Follow ups were performed in months one, three, six and 12."



Key findings included:



•Men who took part in the study wore the device for an average of five hours in the first month, five hours in the third month and four hours in the sixth month.



•The men's average flaccid penile length was 7.15cm (2.82 inches) at baseline and had increased by 32 per cent to 9.45cm (3.72 inches) in month 12.



•The men's average stretched penile length was 9.62cm (3.79 inches) at baseline and had increased by 18 per cent to 11.32 cm (4.45 inches) in month 12.



•No significant increase in penile girth, which averaged 10.4cm (4.09 inches) at baseline, was reported.



•Average erectile function scores improved by up to 36%, from 19.9 out of 30 at baseline to 27.1 out of 30 at 12 months.



•Four patients discontinued the treatment for four different reasons: pain and penile bruising, satisfactory results after three months, lack of efficacy and inability to follow the protocol. Another was lost to follow-up.



•High satisfaction levels were reported in all categories except penile girth. The average score for overall satisfaction was 2.8 on a scale of zero to four, where four represents the optimal result.



•Flaccid penile length scored 2.31 on a scale of zero to three, where three represents significant improvement. Penile length during erection scored 2.37 out of three and sex life 2.3. Penile girth scored 1.1.



"A number of surgical procedures are available that aim to elongate the shaft of the penis or enlarge the penile girth" says Dr Gontero. "However these have a number of disadvantages, including a lack of standardisation, potential risk of complications and high patient dissatisfaction.



"It should also be pointed out that the majority of men who seek help for a small penis fail to meet the clinical criteria for surgery. For example, only one of the men in our study had a flaccid penis length of less than 4cm and American guidelines strongly discourage surgery if men exceed this measurement. Twelve had dysmorphia (excessive dislike of a body part) and the remaining eight had undergone surgery for curvature of the shaft."



The authors believe that the results are significant.



"Our study showed that the penile extender device produces an effective and durable lengthening of the penis, both in the flaccid and stretched state" concludes Dr Gontero.



"If these results are confirmed by further research, we propose that the device should be used as a first-line treatment option for men seeking a penile lengthening procedure."

Penis size and female genital response











His cheap cialis is so small the condom came off me during sex!.....How do you feel when you hear this sentence. If a man is too small or short cheap cialis. Women should do to help.
Most of the questions asked to sexual health experts are about men`s early ejaculations and women`s orgasm troubles plus more articles and information on sexuality, nobody wants to talk about these real problems.


According to some sex researchers and therapists, several misconceptions have developed surrounding penile-vaginal intercourse. Many men exaggerate the importance of deep vaginal penetration in stimulating a woman to orgasm.

The most sensitive area of the female genitals includes the vulva, clitoris, and the section of vaginaclosest to the outside of a woman's body, which is roughly 10 centimeters (4 in) in length. Research has found that portions of the clitoris extend into the vulva and vagina. Given that the median penis size is above this length, the majority of penises are likely of sufficient length to fully satisfy their partners.






While many women find penile stimulation of the cervix to be uncomfortable or painful, others report it to be the key to orgasm.[citation needed] The cervix may be confused with the anterior or posterior fornix, the deepest point of the vagina, above and below the cervix, respectively. The cervix and fornix are close to each other, making it possible for there to be indirect and/or simultaneous stimulation between them.

The fornix is said to be another possible orgasm trigger area. Tests have shown that pressure on this area causes the vagina to lubricate very quickly. The area of sexual response in the anterior fornix has also been called the epicentre, T-Spot, AFE-Zone, AFE or A-Spot; while in the posterior fornix it has been called epicenter (as well) or cul-de-sac (since the cul-de-sac, also known as the rectouterine pouch, may be indirectly stimulated by pressure on the posterior fornix).

During arousal, the vagina lengthens rapidly to an average of about 4 in (8.5 cm), but can continue to lengthen in response to pressure. As the woman becomes fully aroused, the vagina tents (last 2⁄3 expands in length and width) while the cervix retracts. The walls of the vagina are composed of soft elastic folds of mucous membrane skin which stretch or contract (with support from pelvic muscles) to the size of the penis. This means (with proper arousal) the vagina stretches or contracts to accommodate virtually any size penis, from small to large.
