Exploring Alternatives- Why Laparoscopy Isn't Always Best for Hydrosalpinx.pptxFFragrant
Not all women with hydrosalpinx should choose laparoscopy. Natural medicine Fuyan Pill can also be a nice option for patients, especially when they have fertility needs.
Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates at which chemical reactions occur and the factors that influence these rates.
Importance in Pharmaceuticals: Understanding chemical kinetics is essential for predicting the shelf life of drugs, optimizing storage conditions, and ensuring consistent drug performance.
Rate of Reaction: The speed at which reactants are converted to products.
Factors Influencing Reaction Rates:
Concentration of Reactants: Higher concentrations generally increase the rate of reaction.
Temperature: Increasing temperature typically increases reaction rates.
Catalysts: Substances that increase the reaction rate without being consumed in the process.
Physical State of Reactants: The surface area and physical state (solid, liquid, gas) of reactants can affect the reaction rate.

20. Technical considerations
Signal Interference
• In England, then NHS (National Health Service) issued
report DB9702, Electromagnetic Compatibility of Medical
Devices with Mobile Communications. In that 1997 report,
• only 4% of handheld transmitters (all types) cause any
interference at a distance of one meter (3 feet) due to
inadequate shielding
• The risk of interference from a cell phone device is no
greater than other handheld communication devices, in
fact there is less interference than portable radios.
• Further tests and trials are needed to recommend the right
device for the right health care setting
21. Technical considerations
• Fall and break of the handheld device require
fully rugged devices and or case to prevent
break
• Durability of the battery and suitable
recharging options is another concern to
address by technical staff
22. Gathering Requirements

28. Infection control
• Hand held device constitute a major concern from spreading
infection to patients and staff in the absence of strict infection
control policies, decontamination measures and practices
• A multi-disciplinary team of experts at Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine has created a seven-foot-tall, shower cubicle
device that can automatically sanitize hard-to-clean equipment
such as computer keyboards and cell phones in just 20 minutes
• The SUDS (self-cleaning unit for the decontamination of small
instruments) invention disinfects noncritical equipment better than
manual cleaning
• Another strategy to contain the risks of infection is the
implementation of a RTLS (Real Time Locating System) tag to track
and record trails movements of devices and patients wirelessly.
