Autonomous pharmacy is an approach to medication management that seeks to create a more automated and data-driven process for medication inventory and dispensing. The main concept behind autonomous pharmacy is to use technology in place of manual medication processes in order to help healthcare providers reduce medicat... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_pharmacy |
When a physician prescribes a medication, they expect the correct medication to be administered to the patient; however, the medication management process depends on people, who are subject to human error. In a hospital or health system, a mistake in carrying out a medication order can put patient care at risk, and can... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_pharmacy |
Global costs of medication errors are estimated at $42 billion annually. With better automation that includes technologies such as barcoding, there is less chance for human error. Health-system pharmacists spend only a quarter of their working hours on clinical activities. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_pharmacy |

In the picture framing industry, a fillet (also referred to as a slip) is a small piece of moulding which fits inside a larger frame or, typically, underneath or in between matting, used for decorative purposes. The picture framing term is probably related to, though not necessarily derived from, the engineering term, ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fillet_(picture_framing) |
Fillet can be pronounced in two ways. The other is similar to the French-derived culinary term. Either is acceptable in English, though most frame shops prefer one or the other pronunciation. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fillet_(picture_framing) |
Fillets are typically made of soft or hard wood, and feature a flat "lip" which can fit underneath a mat; the non-lip portion is what is displayed. Except for their shape and size (which is understandably small), fillets are constructed similarly to picture frames, usually from wood or polystyrene. One way is to pronou... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fillet_(picture_framing) |

To classify postoperative outcomes for epilepsy surgery, Jerome Engel proposed the following scheme, the Engel Epilepsy Surgery Outcome Scale, which has become the de facto standard when reporting results in the medical literature: Class I: Free of disabling seizures Class II: Rare disabling seizures ("almost seizure-f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_classification |
Surgery for epilepsy patients has been used for over a century, but due to technological restrictions and insufficient knowledge of brain surgery, this treatment approach was relatively rare until the 1980s and 90s. Prior to the 1980s, no classification system existed due to the lack of operations performed up until th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_classification |
The appropriate evaluation of patients following epilepsy surgery is extremely important, as medical professionals must know the appropriate course of action to follow in order to achieve seizure freedom for patients. Accordingly, the Engel classification guidelines were devised by UCLA neurologist Jerome Engel Jr. in ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_classification |
In Engel's 1993 summary of the 1992 Palm Desert Conference on Epilepsy Surgery, he annotated his classification system with more detail. The annotation was as follows: Class I: Seizure free or no more than a few early, nondisabling seizures; or seizures upon drug withdrawal only Class II: Disabling seizures occur rarel... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_classification |
The subjectivity of the Engel system leaves much of the postoperative class assignment process to the patients. While many have noted the disadvantages of a classification system where the patients are involved in determining the evaluation, others have praised it. Proponents of the Engel classification guidelines argu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_classification |
As is the case for all current methods of reviewing epilepsy surgery outcomes, the Engel classification system has subjective components. A "disabling seizure" is subjective and can vary in definition from person to person. While one epileptic experiencing a seizure when driving a car may find the seizure "disabling", ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_classification |
One doctor and patient may consider two seizures in a year as a rare occurrence while another doctor may consider ten in a year as rarely occurring. The worthwhileness of the operation is ambiguous because worth can be interpreted differently by various patients and healthcare professionals. Keeping those caveats in mi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_classification |
Continuing to have to endure a large number of tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures) over a period of days, months, or even over the course of a year or two, would make it impossible to drive and very hard to hold a job away from home entailing much stress, and would pose limits on one's abilities to safely carry ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_classification |
The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man (1951) is a study of popular culture by Marshall McLuhan, treating newspapers, comics, and advertisements as poetic texts.Like his later 1962 book The Gutenberg Galaxy, The Mechanical Bride is unique and composed of a number of short essays that can be read in any order ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride |
McLuhan is concerned by the size and the intentions of the North American culture industry.

He believes the modern "... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride |
By using artifacts of popular culture as a means to enlighten the public, McLuhan hopes the public can consciously observe the effects of popular culture on them.McLuhan compares his method to the sailor in Edgar Allan Poe's short-story "A Descent into the Maelstrom." The sailor, McLuhan writes, saves himself by studyi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride |
The book argues anger and outrage are not the proper responses to the culture industry. "The time for anger...is in the early stages of a new process," McLuhan says, "the present stage is extremely advanced." Amusement is the proper strategy. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride |
This is why McLuhan uses punning questions that border on silly or absurd after each visual example. On the technique of amusement McLuhan quotes Poe's sailor, when he's locked into the whirlpool's walls looking at floating objects: "I must have been delirious, for I even sought amusement in speculating upon the relati... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride |
Marshall McLuhan's interest in the critical study of popular culture was influenced by the 1933 book Culture and Environment by F. R.

Despite the influence, McLuhan was far more playful in The Mechanical Bride than Leavis was in Culture and Environment.In June 1948, McLuhan received an advance of $250 for the publication of The Folklore of Industrial Man from Vanguard Press. The tentative title would later become the subtitle. The title The Mechanica... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride |
The first manuscript was titled Guide to Chaos. The following three manuscripts were titled Typhon in America, after the Ancient Greek mythological monster. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride |
The eventual title of the book reflects McLuhan's concern about the merging of sex and technology in advertising.McLuhan was frustrated by the editorial efforts of Vanguard Press. He resisted requests to cut entries, to expand on subjects, give examples, underline a point, or generally make the book easier for readers ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride |
He began to suffer from severe headaches during this period, possibly products of the stress, anger, and frustration of his dealings with Vanguard.The Mechanical Bride was published in the fall of 1951.

Hay's Galleria is a mixed use building in the London Borough of Southwark situated on the south bank of the River Thames featuring offices, restaurants, shops, and flats.
