Use of sentinel sites for daily monitoring of the US blood supply

Transfusion, 2003
BACKGROUND : This report describes the first year of a government‐sponsored program that uses daily reports from 29 sentinel sites to monitor the capacity of the US blood supply to meet demand. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS : From August 15, 2001, to August 14, 2002, 29 sentinel sites provided daily reports of the number of units of RBCs in inventory ...

Prevalence of drink‐driving in Thimphu, Bhutan: Targeted surveillance at sentinel sites

Drug and Alcohol Review, 2020
AbstractIntroduction and AimsBhutan has a high incidence of alcohol‐related disease. With economic development, motorised transport is proliferating, increasing the potential for traffic injury. We investigated drink‐driving in the country's largest urban environment.MethodsWorking with police, we set up checkpoints at major thoroughfares in Thimphu ...

Assessment of Malaria Vector Behavior in Selected Sentinel Sites of Ethiopia

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
In Ethiopia, malaria incidence has significantly reduced in the past decade through the combined use of conventional vector control approaches and antimalarial drugs. However, the sustainability of this achievement is threatened by the shift in biting and resting behaviors and emergence of insecticide resistance by the primary malaria vector. Therefore,

Soil Moisture Estimation at 500m using Sentinel-1: application to Tunisian sites

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
This article aims to propose an estimation of the soil moisture at a spatial resolution of 0.5 km and 6 days temporal resolution using Sentinel-1 data. The proposed approach is based on the change detection technique applied over a series of four-year measurements. The algorithm output, a moisture index is between 0 and 1, 0 for the driest soils, 1 for

Single site robotic sentinel lymph node biopsy and hysterectomy in endometrial cancer

Gynecologic Oncology, 2015
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has been proposed as a safe and less morbid approach to full lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer (EC) [1,2]. The role of single incision robotic surgery (SIRS) remains unclear in this setting [3,4]. The aim of this video is to demonstrate the feasibility of SLN biopsy utilizing the SIRS platform and near infrared ...
