When we talk about innovation and technology touching the health industry, it’s hard not to mention electronic medical records (EMRs). As recently as 2009,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa0900592" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;The New England Journal of Medicine found&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that only 1.5 percent of U.S. hospitals have a comprehensive electronic medical health system.

That’s why it’s such great news for the industry, when older, giant corporations — the big kahunas — jump on the bandwagon and show they’re willing to help push their industries forward.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Founded in 1945, California-based&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/html/kaiser/index.shtml" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Kaiser Permanente&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is one of the largest not-for-profit managed care consortiums and health plan providers in the country, with 9 million members, nearly 170K employees, 15K physicians, 35 medical centers, and 430+ medical offices under its fold. Yesterday, the health care organization&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nearly-9-million-kaiser-permanente-health-records-securely-available-on-mobile-devices-2012-01-24-101100" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;the release of a free Android app and mobile-optimized website through which its millions of members can access their own medical information on the go.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;This means that Kaiser Permanente patients can get full access to the company’s health record system and all that comes with it, which they already could do through kp.org, from their mobile devices. In 2011, Kaiser more than 68 million lab test results available online to their patients, and through the Android app and mobile web app, patients can now get 24/7 access to lab results, diagnostic information, direct and secure email access to doctors, schedule appointments, and order prescription refills.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The company plans to release an app for iOS in the next few months, but in the meantime, non-Android users can get access to the same set of secure tools through its new mobile-optimized website through their devices’ browsers. What’s more, the apps also make it possible for family members and other care providers to get access on behalf of patients and accomplish the same tasks that they could at kp.org. This is great for people who are traveling and need to receive care from non-Kaiser Permanente providers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The company’s data on how people are accessing its site is very telling, too, as it validates the notion that mobile technology has become an essential part of healthcare, as Kaiser told us that 14 percent of visits to its website now derive from mobile devices, a 46 percent growth since January 2011.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The health plan provider has previously released mobile apps for the iPhone, one that helps patients locate KP facilities and another app that encourages people to walk and pursue healthy activities, and while both are great tools, neither have the implications that giving broad access to EMRs does through Android, and soon iOS. Kaiser Permanente has made some great strides in HealthIT, and is set on pushing forward in mobile technology as well. If the other big health plan and healthcare providers follow suit, this can have an enormous effect on the health industry and patient care. It’s already further validation of the importance of EMRs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px;

Permanently enabling global IPv6 access to Google services has been our goal since we first began our IPv6 project more than four years ago. We eagerly await the opportunity to realize that goal with our colleagues around the world this June. At long last, IPv6 will be the new normal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/ipv6-countdown-to-launch.html"&gt;http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/ipv6-countdown-to-launch.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-472481866109142459?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/472481866109142459/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/message-of-google-on-ipv6.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/472481866109142459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/472481866109142459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/message-of-google-on-ipv6.html' title='Message of Google on IP/V6'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-2651712736335113371</id><published>2012-01-12T12:00:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T12:00:16.205+01:00</updated><title type='text'>DMP ou "Code Urgence"</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Faut-il demander un DMP gratuit, complet et sécurisé à son médecin ou s'abonner au service "Code Urgence"?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Le DMP (Dossier Médical Personnel) est le dossier médical personnel comprenant la synthèse des informations de santé de toute personne qui en fait la demande à son médecin traitant ou dans tout hôpital.

La faute commise par celui-ci est pourtant loin d'être légère. En effet, pour obtenir son agrément en 2010 par le Ministère de la Santé, cet hébergeur avait mentionné crypter les données personnelles des utilisateurs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="article" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Début 2011, la CNIL a réalisé un contrôle sur place. Elle a alors constaté que les données médicales n'étaient pas chiffrées et qu'elles étaient accessibles aux administrateurs informatiques de la société et non pas exclusivement au personnel de santé habilité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rappelons que le but du chiffrage des données n'est pas de seulement protéger les données contre des hackers potentiels à l'extérieur de l'organisation mais aussi de réserver strictement l'accès à ces données à des personnes habilitées, en l'occurrence des professionnels de santé. Les administrateurs techniques ne doivent en effet jamais avoir accès aux données hébergées elles-mêmes mais juste à une expression informatique indéchiffrable afin de pouvoir remplir leur mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce non-chiffrage était donc illicite autant par la tromperie exercée pour avoir un agrément immérité que par le défaut de sécurisation des données. L'extrême sensibilité des données n'a, malgré tout, pas amené la CNIL à prononcer une sanction réelle, se contentant d'un simple avertissement sans même mentionner le nom du coupable. La mauvaise publicité autour des services d'un prestataire aurait pu constituer la véritable sanction, ce qui est fréquent dans le cas d'un simple avertissement prononcé par la CNIL.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="article" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.lemondeinformatique.fr/actualites/lmi/lire-la-cnil-sanctionne-un-hebergeur-de-donnees-de-sante-pour-negligence-47345.html?utm_source=mail&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Newsletter" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;http://www.lemondeinformatique.fr/actualites/lmi/lire-la-cnil-sanctionne-un-hebergeur-de-donnees-de-sante-pour-negligence-47345.html?utm_source=mail&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Newsletter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-8725222915484123311?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/8725222915484123311/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/la-cnil-sanctionne-un-hebergeur-de.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/8725222915484123311'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/8725222915484123311'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/la-cnil-sanctionne-un-hebergeur-de.html' title='La CNIL sanctionne un hébergeur de données de santé'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-8470432768865162915</id><published>2012-01-12T10:56:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T11:00:24.843+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Télémédecine : Télégéria</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Paris a doté le SAMU de la visioconsultation pour solliciter les compétences médicales à distance en urgence. Porté localement par de nombreux partenaires-clés, comme l’AP-HP, les EHPAD (Établissements d’hébergement de personnes âgées dépendantes), l’hôpital Georges Pompidou, ainsi que la mairie de Paris, l’application de téléconsultation Telegéria met en relation les médecins spécialistes et les patients seniors pour le bénéfice des deux parties. Moins mobiles que les jeunes, leur déplacement vers le cabinet du médecin est plus problématique.En temps réel ou en différé, grâce à une visioconférence nomade en mode Wifi, Telegéria permet une consultation spécialisée à distance et l’aide au diagnostic médical de personnes âgées hébergées en maison de retraite ou en EHPAD. Outre les gains financiers (ni frais de déplacement ou d’accompagnement), l’enjeu d’un tel système est de sécuriser le diagnostic par l’appel à un expert plus disponible à distance, pour un maximum de confort du patient âgé, avec, à la clé, un gain d’image pour la collectivité en termes de services aux seniors.Telegéria est née en 2006 à l’initiative du service gérontologie de l’hôpital européen Georges Pompidou, dirigé par le professeur Saint- Jean et le docteur Espinoza. Soutenue dès l’origine par la mairie de Paris, les EHPAD et maisons de retraite de la capitale, cette téléconsultation gériatrique – dont la première expérimentation, avec Orange et sa filiale NIS, date in situ de 2008 – a pour objectif de supprimer l’impact d’une hospitalisation inutile pour des personnes âgées à mobilité réduite. En 2009, une nouvelle plate-forme de communication et de collaboration a été lancée.Expérimentée en 2008 à Paris (et à Belfort), auprès de 250 utilisateurs, la première version de Telegéria a connu un bilan positif avec 166 visioconsultations. En mai 2009, une nouvelle version a été lancée, complétée d’une application de télé-présence entre un établissement de santé de moyen séjour, l’hôpital Vaugirard, et son hôpitalréférent, Georges Pompidou, tous deux situés dans le XVe arrondissement. En complément de Telegéria, un site Web a été créé afin d’enregistrer les demandes et les résultats des visioconsultations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.parolesdelus.com/les-initiatives/sante-et-social/quand-les-anciens-teleconsultent-hippocrate"&gt;http://www.parolesdelus.com/les-initiatives/sante-et-social/quand-les-anciens-teleconsultent-hippocrate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-8470432768865162915?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/8470432768865162915/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/telemedecine-telegeria.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/8470432768865162915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/8470432768865162915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/telemedecine-telegeria.html' title='Télémédecine : Télégéria'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-458246259502176715</id><published>2012-01-11T12:29:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T12:29:37.358+01:00</updated><title type='text'>La France se connecte à PEPPOL</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1 class="documentFirstHeading" style="background-color: white;

La plupart des opérateurs sont raccordés au système Chorus ou sont en cours de raccordement. C'est votre opérateur de dématérialisation qui prendra en charge la conversion de vos factures dans les formats attendus par l'administration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 20px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;b style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;L'échange EDI direct entre le fournisseur et l'Etat&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Cette modalité suppose que vous procédiez vous-même à votre dématérialisation fiscale et soyez en capacité de produire l'un des 2 formats attendus par l'administration. Vous devrez alors vous raccorder techniquement avec la plate forme de réception des factures côté Chorus (plate forme dite « concentrateur Chorus-factures »).&lt;span style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;Cet échange peut avoir selon deux modalités de sécurisation&amp;nbsp;: l'usage de protocoles chiffrés FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS, PES-IT avec chiffrement TLS, AS/2 avec chiffrement SSL sur une liaison Internet classique ou bien l'utilisation d'un réseau privé virtuel avec l'Etat et l'un des protocoles X400, HTTP, FTP ou PES-IT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 20px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;b style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;La consultation des factures sur le portail&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Quel que soit le mode choisi, vous pouvez suivre sur le portail l'avancement du traitement de vos factures par les services comptables de l'Etat. Pour les factures saisies en ligne ou déposées, vous disposez en outre de la possibilité de visualiser vos factures et de les télécharger. Pour accéder à cette fonctionnalité, vous devez créer un compte sur le portail. Ce compte sera validé sans délai par l'administration, et un couple identifiant-mot de passe vous sera transmis par messagerie. Vous devrez ensuite activer votre compte et changer de mot de passe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000025105729&amp;amp;dateTexte=&amp;amp;categorieLien=id" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Arrêté du 30 décembre 2011 déterminant les procédures de transmission des factures des fournisseurs de l'Etat sous forme dématérialisée&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do;&amp;amp;dateTexte=?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000025023754&amp;amp;categorieLien=cid" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Décret n° 2011-1937 du 22 décembre 2011 relatif aux conditions d'acceptation par l'Etat des factures émises par ses fournisseurs sous forme dématérialisée&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://chorus-factures.budget.gouv.fr/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Le portail Chorus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;- &lt;a href="http://www.peppol.eu/"&gt;Le site PEPPOL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-4911263658335249004?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/4911263658335249004/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/dematerialisation-des-factures-des.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/4911263658335249004'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/4911263658335249004'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/dematerialisation-des-factures-des.html' title='Dématérialisation des factures des fournisseurs des services de l&apos;Etat'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-8087916827777491762</id><published>2012-01-03T12:55:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-09T12:53:59.345+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Google deploying IPV6</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;In a project that has taken longer than company engineers anticipated, Google is rolling out IPv6 across its entire internal employee network.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Google network engineer Irena Nikolova discussed the company-wide implementation at the Usenix Large Installation System Administration (LISA) conference, being held this week in Boston.

It also requires buy-in from management and staff, particularly administrators who already are juggling too many tasks. And, for early adopters, it requires a lot of work with vendors to get them to fix buggy and still-unfinished code. "We should not expect something to work just because it is declared supported,"&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa11/tech/full_papers/Babiker.pdf" style="color: #007acf; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;the paper&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;accompanying the presentation concluded.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;"I think everyone who has tried to migrate to IPv6 has run into the same problems we have," Nikolova said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The project, which has been under way for about four years, turned out to be a larger endeavor than the engineering team had anticipated. It is only half way finished. But the company has made significant gains in this time. About 95 percent of Google's engineers now have IPv6 access on their desks. Eventually, the company plans to have an IPv6-only network.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The project was started in 2008 by a small group of Google engineers, some of whom worked on it in the 20 percent of their work time that Google allots for its engineers to pursue their own pet projects. The goal was "IPv6 everywhere," Nikolova said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Part of the interest in the upgrade was practical. Even though it was a private network, Google's internal network used public IP addresses, and Google was running out of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918" style="color: #007acf; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;internal IPv4 addresses&lt;/a&gt;. Also, Google engineers were developing&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/" style="color: #007acf; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;IPv6 versions&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of Google's own tools and applications and needed to test this software internally before releasing it to the public.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Lastly, Google engineers realized they faced a chicken-and-egg problem with deploying IPv6. Like many organizations, the company has been slow to adopt IPv6 due to the lack of third party applications running on IPv6, which, in turn, are scarce because few organizations run IPv6 networks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Google's internal network spans more than 200 offices worldwide, serving about 30,000 employees. It consists of a wide variety of devices from companies such as Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, and Aruba Networks, hundreds of commercial and home-built applications, and a range of operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The engineers modeled the IPv6 network as closely as possible on the existing IPv4 one, to keep the routing and traffic flow largely the same. At first they ran IPv6 over the IPv4 networks, a process called tunneling. Then, in cases where it was feasible, they set up dual stacks, where IPv4 and IPv6 run side by side. Eventually, they want to make the network IPv6 only.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;To assign IPv6 numbers to devices, Google followed the guidelines in the Internet Engineering Task Force's&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5375" style="color: #007acf; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;RFC 5375&lt;/a&gt;. Each campus or office got a /48 address block, which meant that it was allotted 280 addresses. In turn, each building got a /56 block of those addresses (or about 272 addresses) and each VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) received a /64 block, or about 264 addresses. To assign numbers to specific devices, the engineers used the Stateless Address Auto-Configuration capability (SLAAC), which allows the devices to assign numbers to themselves. This approach eliminated the need to manually assign numbers to each device. It was also necessary in that at least some operating systems do not yet support DHCPv6, the version of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server-based addressing mechanism for IPv6 networks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;One of the major issues was inadequate support for IPv6 in network devices and software, Nikolova said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Many network devices now only support IPv6 in software, meaning that much of the traffic processing is carried out in software, rather than with customized hardware. As a result, IPv6 network operations consume more processor cycles than IPv4 operations do. At least one wireless equipment vendor did not support ACLs (access control lists). Also, the network's WAN (wide area network) acceleration devices can not encrypt IPv6 traffic, because the protocol they use--WCCP (Web Cache Control Protocol)--does not yet work with IPv6. In addition to networking gear, printers remain problematic, in that many do not fully support IPv6.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Application and OS compatibility also proved to be a challenge. The company has been phasing out those applications that do not support IPv6, though many essential tools, such as databases and billing applications, remain in operation because they can not be modified or upgraded easily. And while the current versions of most OSes support IPv6, they do not do so by default, which causes additional work on the part of administrators and users.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;"When it comes to technical problems, we can confirm that there is a lot of new, unproven and therefore buggy code, and getting our vendors aligned so that everything supports IPv6 has been a challenge," the Google paper stated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Google also faced challenges with service providers, those companies that provided network connectivity to Google's offices. The SLAs (Service Level Agreements) were not as rigorous as those for their IPv4 services. They took a longer time connecting separate IPv6 points than they did with IPv4 peering sessions. Google itself had to rewrite its own network monitoring tools to work with IPv6 as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.techworld.com.au/article/409851/usenix_google_deploys_ipv6_internal_network" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;http://www.techworld.com.au/article/409851/usenix_google_deploys_ipv6_internal_network&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-8087916827777491762?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/8087916827777491762/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/google-deploying-ipv6.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/8087916827777491762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/8087916827777491762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/google-deploying-ipv6.html' title='Google deploying IPV6'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-1547174912881172926</id><published>2012-01-02T10:43:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T10:45:57.977+01:00</updated><title type='text'>DMP 2011 : 2012 année de la généralisation</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="I_STORIES_depeche_lead" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px; text-align: left;"&gt;Près d’un an après la mise en service du dossier médical personnel (DMP), plus de 56.000 Français disposent de leur DMP, selon les données présentées par l’agence des systèmes d’information partagés de santé (Asip santé), lors de sa huitième journée nationale des industriels, organisée le 14 décembre à Paris.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="I_STORIES_depeche_text" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;"&gt;Le 12 décembre 2011, soit presque un an jour pour jour, après la "mise en production" du système d’information national DMP, le 16 décembre 2010, exactement 56.362 DMP avaient été créés, a rapporté Anne Monier, directrice du pôle "Territoires" de l’Asip santé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le rythme de déploiement du DMP continue donc de croître, puisque les précédents pointages faisaient état de 15.706 dossiers début juillet (&lt;span class="LINK_option"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ticsante.com/show.php?page=story&amp;amp;newsPage=5&amp;amp;id=1023&amp;amp;story=1023" style="color: #830083;" target="_blank"&gt;voir dépêche TICsanté du 1er août 2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;), puis 39.310 mi-octobre (&lt;span class="LINK_option"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ticsante.com/show.php?page=story&amp;amp;newsPage=2&amp;amp;id=1089&amp;amp;story=1089" style="color: #830083;" target="_blank"&gt;voir dépêche TICsanté du 26 octobre 2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;).

On peut s'attendre à 500 000 DMP pour fin 2012 avant l'arrivée de la prise en compte des ayant-droits qui sera le point de rupture sur les usages.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-1547174912881172926?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/1547174912881172926/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/dmp-2011-2012-annee-de-la.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/1547174912881172926'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/1547174912881172926'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2012/01/dmp-2011-2012-annee-de-la.html' title='DMP 2011 : 2012 année de la généralisation'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-4431939224098134404</id><published>2012-01-02T09:26:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T09:26:56.228+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Bisphénol A et femmes enceintes</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong style="background-color: white; color: #003399; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Le bisphénol A (ou BPA) est un composant chimique présent dans un type de plastique et certaines résines à usage alimentaire.

Before HTML5, inter-window communication had to rely on a remote server – or use unreliable hacks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Another exciting addition is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;CORS&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Cross Origin Resource Sharing). This will make it much easier for different websites to share information with one another. For example, CORS will enable startups to create photo-editing services that download your photos from Facebook, let you modify them, and then re-upload them – again without having to resort to ugly hacks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;With all of the new semantic information (see&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Semantics&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/microdata.html" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Microdata&lt;/a&gt;) available with HTML5, it will become much easier to create web tools that extract information from web pages. As a result, you can expect to see a plethora of new mashup services, as well as better browser modes (like readers and translators).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Web browsers will look more like iPhones&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Everyone loves Apple’s iOS.

font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;"&gt;La décision du 28 septembre 2011 modifie la liste des actes et prescriptions pris en charge par l’assurance maladie et institue un "supplément pour archivage numérique d’un examen scanographique ou remnographique".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son contenu est fortement inspiré de l’avenant n°24 à la convention médicale de 2007, qui avait créé une "option archivage" ouvrant droit à deux "suppléments", au profit des seuls radiologues libéraux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ces mesures avaient été annulées par le Conseil d’Etat en juillet 2009, en raison d’une "différence de traitement manifestement disproportionnée" avec les praticiens hospitaliers, et parce que la création d’actes nouveaux et la définition de leurs conditions de facturation relève des prérogatives de la seule Uncam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus de deux ans après, la mesure est ainsi restaurée pour 45 actes de scanographie et 40 actes de remnographie et son tarif est fixé à 1,50 euro, contre 4 euros précédemment pour le même type d’examens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce "supplément" est "destiné à financer les coûts d’acquisition et de maintenance du système d’archivage supportés par son exploitant", qui devra fournir "un document de nature comptable attestant de sa participation financière".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En revanche, il "n’est pas pris en charge lorsque le médecin ou la structure (…) a bénéficié d'une subvention, totale ou partielle, pour le système d’archivage et de gestion des images [PACS, ndr], à l’exception des PACS territoriaux intersites ou interétablissements agréés par une agence régionale de santé".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le texte rappelle que la durée minimale légale d’archivage des données médicales est de vingt ans pour les établissements de santé et stipule que "la durée doit être au minimum de cinq ans" pour les médecins libéraux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En outre, les images "doivent être disponibles en accès immédiat sur le site pendant au moins trois ans", c’est-à-dire en moins de cinq secondes pour la première image d’un scanner et en moins d’une minute pour une série complète de 600 images.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cette fin, les données sont archivées "en format DICOM sans compression ou avec compression sans perte (DICOM lossless)". Au-delà des trois premières années, l’accès aux données "peut être différé" et "une compression plus importante sera admise (DICOM lossy)".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En matière d’interopérabilité, le respect de certaines normes HL7 et des profils IHE correspondants (KIN, PAM, PDQ, SWF) est "indispensable", quand "l’utilisation de l’identifiant national de santé (INS) est recommandée". De plus, "le système d’archivage de l’exploitant doit être interopérable avec les PACS qui relèvent de la région où il est implanté".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfin, "l’archivage des images doit faire l’objet d’une déclaration" à la Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (Cnil) et "une procédure interne de contrôle qualité du système doit être mise en place".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La décision de l’Uncam est parue au Journal officiel le 10 décembre 2011 et prendra effet "à compter du trentième jour suivant sa publication", soit le lundi 9 janvier 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ticsante.com/show.php?page=story&amp;amp;id=1131" style="background-color: white;"&gt;http://www.ticsante.com/show.php?page=story&amp;amp;id=1131&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-4517951178834885027?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/4517951178834885027/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/12/luncam-retablit-le-supplement.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/4517951178834885027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/4517951178834885027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/12/luncam-retablit-le-supplement.html' title='L’Uncam rétablit le supplément d’archivage pour des examens d’imagerie médicale'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-7884153272868233551</id><published>2011-12-14T23:27:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-14T23:27:30.260+01:00</updated><title type='text'>ANTIOXIDANT HAS POTENTIAL IN THE ALZHEIMER’S FIGHT</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #7d7d7d; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;When you cut an apple and leave it out, it turns brown.

It is now recognized that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a role in the pathogenesis of several degenerative disorders. Antioxidants are the body's defense against free radicals. Antioxidants block the effects of oxidation, a chemical reaction that combines single electrons with oxygen to generate free radicals, which can attack and destroy cells.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 4px;"&gt;Antipodean's proprietary targeted lipophilic cation technology prevents oxidative damage by concentrating antioxidants in mitochondria. MitoQ&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;is targeted to mitochondria by covalent attachment to a lipophilic triphenylphosphonium cation. Because of the large mitochondria membrane potential, the cations accumulate within cellular mitochondria up to 1,000 fold, compared to non-targeted antioxidants such as Coenzyme Q or its analogues.&amp;nbsp; This accumulation enables the antioxidant moiety to block lipid peroxidation, and maintain the integrity of the mitochondria membrane by&amp;nbsp;protecting it from oxidative damage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 4px;"&gt;Antipodean's lead compound MitoQ&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;(mitoquinone) is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant that selectively blocks mitochondrial oxidative damage and prevents cell death. Mitochondrial dysfunction underlies a wide range of degenerative diseases, in which oxidative stress plays a key pathogenic role, including such diseases as NASH, Type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, among others.&amp;nbsp;Therefore, protecting mitochondria from oxidative damage is a promising and innovative therapeutic strategy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 4px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Image" border="0" src="http://www.antipodeanpharma.com/images/mitoq-copy.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 4px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 4px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 4px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 4px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The lipophilic cation is accumulated 5- to 10- fold into the cytoplasm from the extracellular space by the plasma membrane potential and then further accumulated 100- to 500- fold into the mitochondrial matrix by the mitochondrial membrane potential.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 4px;"&gt;MitoQ&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;is being evaluated as an oral treatment for liver inflammation that leads to fibrosis and is associated with metabolic dysfunction.&amp;nbsp; The company is also investigating topical indications that involve mitochondrial dysfunction, including dermatologic applications and retinal degeneration.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-4958129059180133821?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/4958129059180133821/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/12/mitoq.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/4958129059180133821'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/4958129059180133821'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/12/mitoq.html' title='MitoQ'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-8115784886057310339</id><published>2011-12-14T23:25:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-14T23:25:37.419+01:00</updated><title type='text'>BIOCHEMICAL SIGNATURE PREDICTS PROGRESSION TO ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #7d7d7d; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;A study led by Research Professor Matej Oreič from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland suggests that Alzheimer’s disease is preceded by a molecular signature indicative of hypoxia and up-regulated pentose phosphate pathway. This indicator can be analysed as a simple biochemical assay from a serum sample months or even years before the first symptoms of the disease occur.

Serum samples were collected at baseline when the patients were diagnosed with AD, MCI, or identified as healthy controls. 52 out of 143 MCI patients progressed to AD during the follow-up period of 27 months on average. A molecular signature comprising three metabolites measured at baseline was derived which was predictive of progression to AD. Furthermore, analysis of data in the context of metabolic pathways revealed that pentose phosphate pathway was associated with progression to AD, also implicating the role of hypoxia and oxidative stress as early disease processes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #7d7d7d; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The unique study setting allowed the researchers to identify the patients diagnosed with MCI at baseline who later progressed to AD and to derive the molecular signature which can identify such patients at baseline.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #7d7d7d; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Though there is no current therapy to prevent AD, early disease detection is vital both for delaying the onset of the disease through pharmacological treatment and/or lifestyle changes and for assessing the efficacy of potential AD therapeutic agents.

It covered the areas of end-stations, routers, gateways,&amp;nbsp;generic technologies and applications – with specific emphasis on following the IPv6-related&amp;nbsp;standards emerging in the IETF. Thus Mobile IP, Road Warrior technology, Quality of Service,&lt;br /&gt;agent technology, &amp;nbsp;interworking across WLAN, GPRS and UMTS, &amp;nbsp;and security were of particular&amp;nbsp;concern. Generic applications investigated included conferencing, voice over IP, video streaming,&amp;nbsp;location-based services and home environments. There was specific emphasis on clinical&amp;nbsp;applications, where secure mobile access was demonstrated to clinical data and radiographic&amp;nbsp;images, and emergency treatment from ambulances for Accident and Emergency. Most of the work&amp;nbsp;was in the context of Wireless LANs, since the access to and functionality of GPRS were very&amp;nbsp;limited and the access to UMTS test facilities was provided only at the project end; nevertheless,&amp;nbsp;experiments were carried out both with GPRS and UMTS test facilities.&lt;br /&gt;Objectives: &lt;br /&gt;The principal objective of the 6WINIT project was to validate the introduction of a new mobile&amp;nbsp;wireless Internet in Europe - based on a combination of the new Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)&amp;nbsp;and the new wireless protocols used in WLAN, GPRS and UMTS/3GPP networks.&lt;br /&gt;Technical Approach: &lt;br /&gt;The basic network components used in the project were a combination of IPv6 and wireless&amp;nbsp;networks. The project provided an insight into the problems in deploying real applications in the&amp;nbsp;emerging IPv6-enabled wireless-enabled &amp;nbsp;Internet; WLAN, GPRS and a UMTS test cell were&amp;nbsp;used as wireless networks. We carried through complete systems pilots, and identified what&amp;nbsp;components are inadequate in the applications, network facilities, major components and&amp;nbsp;middleware. The project concentrated on mobile and wireless aspects of the system, but it also&amp;nbsp;linked into the existing IPv6 wired infrastructures provided under the 6NET and Euro6IX projects.&amp;nbsp;The technical approach was to take applications from other activities, which were expected to&amp;nbsp;gain from the mobile IPv6 environment. These applications, which were &amp;nbsp;mainly selected from the&amp;nbsp;clinical health care, multimedia conferencing and streaming, in- and outdoors navigation and&amp;nbsp;home control domains, were ported to work over IPv6. This way we ensured that all the requisite&amp;nbsp;technology was available to allow them to work in a wireless-enabled IPv6 environment.&lt;br /&gt;Consequently we were also working on IPv6-enabled components: routers, relays, hand-helds,&amp;nbsp;IPv4 to IPv6 transition mechanisms and other software components required by the applications.&amp;nbsp;Because of the limited capability of the GPRS network, some of the traffic had to be run, in that&amp;nbsp;case, in IPv6/IPv4 encapsulation.&lt;br /&gt;We carried out many experiments with GPRS, UMTS and WLAN networks – together with the appropriate applications. For example our work with GPRS showed that the latency was both&amp;nbsp;much too long for interactive conferencing, had much too much short-term variation in its value,&amp;nbsp;and much too low a bandwidth. Other experiments showed that it was possible to use PDAs with&amp;nbsp;the wireless connectivity for getting reasonable resolution of cardiac images. Another showed that&amp;nbsp;in our hospital settings, the WLAN radiation had no discernable impact on the clinical&amp;nbsp;instrumentation – though some of the instrumentation had occasional impact on the WLAN&amp;nbsp;operation (e.g. during MMR scans or anti-coagulator action). We also investigated the precision&amp;nbsp;we could obtain on location sensing indoors, using WLAN technology, and on the rate of handoffs achievable with the WLAN. Finally we showed that one could have fast multi-access handover between the UMTS test-cell and WLAN.&lt;br /&gt;Applications: &lt;br /&gt;A wide variety of IPv6-enabled applications were pursued – infrastructure (e.g. Mobile IP, Road&amp;nbsp;Warrior, etc), generic (e.g. Voice over IPv6, Media streaming, Secure remote control of the home&amp;nbsp;environment, etc) and clinical (e.g. Access to clinical data bases, consultation with moving&amp;nbsp;ambulances, etc).&lt;br /&gt;Results: &lt;br /&gt;Our results are fully reported on the 6winit web store &amp;nbsp;http://www.6winit.org/. However a&amp;nbsp;significant number of components and features are expected to be developed further – often in a&amp;nbsp;commercial setting (e.g. The Guardian Angel System, Router components for mobile IP, Highquality streaming, etc).&lt;br /&gt;Innovation: &lt;br /&gt;Many of these results are highly innovative. An example of the integration of many of the results&amp;nbsp;together are illustrated in a demonstration given in the final review.&lt;br /&gt;A simulated ambulance professionals communicate via a mobile terminal, capable of providing&amp;nbsp;voice, video and data on body parameters from a patient like electro-cardiograms and blood&amp;nbsp;pressure, communicate via both a UMTS test cell and a wireless LAN with other professionals in&amp;nbsp;a simulated hospital. The communication uses Mobile IP and simultaneous multi-access, with&amp;nbsp;secured data transmission based on a Public Key Infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;Contribution to Standards: &lt;br /&gt;During course of this work there were many contributions to the standards for Mobile IP,&amp;nbsp;simultaneous multi-access, IP security, SIP, multimedia transport and IPv6/IPv4 transition. Almost&amp;nbsp;all these contributions were made to the Internet Engineering Task Force.&lt;br /&gt;Success stories: &lt;br /&gt;As a result of this work, an excellent set of IPv6-enabled components and applications became&amp;nbsp;available both to show that IPv6 was becoming a viable technology, and that wireless-based IPv6&amp;nbsp;applications could be built. Specifics of the results are being incorporated into the products of the&amp;nbsp;6WINIT partners; examples are the router components. Others are being used to be the core of&amp;nbsp;new business ventures; an example is the GANS system. Yet others are being used to persuade&amp;nbsp;the regulatory authorities to allow the systems to be used in the hospital environment with real&amp;nbsp;patients; an example is the database access system. Of particular importance is that the wealth&amp;nbsp;of IPv6 applications developed are an important input to two large IPv6 deployment projects&amp;nbsp;6NET and Euro6IX, and have provided important inputs to many new projects.&lt;br /&gt;The applications developed in the project (6VOICE, GANS, streaming etc) are being used in&amp;nbsp;multiple follow-on projects for further features. &lt;br /&gt;Project name: &lt;br /&gt;6WINIT - IPv6 Wireless Internet IniTiative&lt;br /&gt;Contract no.: &lt;br /&gt;IST-2000-25153&lt;br /&gt;Project type:&lt;br /&gt;RTD&lt;br /&gt;Start date:&lt;br /&gt;01/01/2001&lt;br /&gt;Duration:&lt;br /&gt;25 months&lt;br /&gt;Total budget: &lt;br /&gt;€ 6,018,800&lt;br /&gt;Funding from the EC: &lt;br /&gt;€3,492,000 &lt;br /&gt;Total effort in person-months:&lt;br /&gt;550&lt;br /&gt;Website: &lt;br /&gt;http://www.6winit.org/&lt;br /&gt;Contact person:&lt;br /&gt;Prof. Peter T.

Given an IP packet, how to deliver that to an Ethernet interface?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;IPv6 uses a protocol called the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) to do address resolution, among other things. Neighbor Discovery (ND) uses multicast to a small set of similar addresses rather than a broadcast to all, but in broad terms is very similar to IPv4's ARP. The router builds a cache of layer three to layer two mappings. For new destination IPv6 addresses the router sets up a new cache entry, sends out an ND solicitation, and waits for the desired host to respond with its layer two address. If the router receives no response within a certain time, it discards the cache entry; otherwise it completes the cache entry and can then use it to deliver packets to that destination IPv6 address.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;If someone sends lots of packets for non-existent IPv6 addresses, the router will end up with lots of incomplete cache entries. If enough such packets are received fast enough, all available cache slots may be used up, meaning that no new addresses can be reached. Since completed cache entries time out after a little while, even good entries may be dropped, to be replaced by new never-to-be-completed entries. Unlike most other NDP-related attacks, this one can come from outside your network. It doesn't take much bandwidth either – timing out an incomplete cache entry takes about four seconds; in four seconds a gigabit link can deliver more than enough packets to be a problem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Sadly there is no real defence yet. Bad packets are indistinguishable from good packets; the router can't tell that an address doesn't exist unless it does neighbor discovery on it. The simple defence of having a big enough cache to handle the load is not feasible with IPv6, where just a single subnet has billions of possible addresses. You can mitigate the problem by doing things like using small subnets, filtering packets at your border, rate limiting and so forth, but the real defence lies in sophisticated cache management in the routers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Another NDP issue is rogue router advertisements. Setting up an IPv6 “router” is trivial on any modern desktop or laptop. An on-link host sending unwanted router advertisements can cause havoc – deprecating prefixes, redirecting traffic and so on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;There are two solutions in the wings, but neither is complete or robust yet. The first is Secure Neighbor Discovery, or SEND. SEND uses cryptographically generated addresses and signed NDP messages, guaranteeing that the apparent sender of an NDP message is in fact the sender. Combined with a mechanism for distributing certificates (a PKI), SEND is a solution to rogue RAs; without a PKI, it is not. SEND is a moderately heavyweight solution, but a bigger issue is that neither Windows nor OSX currently support SEND.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;A second solution is RA-Guard. RA-Guard is (conceptually) a piece of software that sits at a security border such as a switch, and inspects passing RA messages. If they meet certain criteria, RA-Guard lets them pass. If they do not, RA-Guard blocks them. This sounds simple enough, but it turns out that IPv6 throws a few curve balls – current implementations get confused by extension headers, for example. Fixing this means either redefining the NDP protocol to forbid extension headers, or building lots of wire-speed layer three smarts into switches.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white;

"Intrusive" proxy servers – which provide Internet filtering and content buffering – don't help either, since they can complicate the logging of user sessions and activities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;"Private schools in particular are very isolated from each other," StudentNet business manager Kevin Karp told attendees at the recent IPv6 Summit in Melbourne. "They have to deal with unexpected complexities and complications because of the community they're dealing with. It's very different to an SMB or large enterprise, because school education has to do with large blocks of data done on a very repetitive basis and done with a large number of students."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Because it does away with NAT and allows addresses to be assigned in meaningful groups, IPv6 offers a significant improvement, Karp said: for example, the protocol would allow a school administrator to give students IP addresses grouped into blocks by year level. These could then be used to enforce year-appropriate content filtering, learning management system access, YouTube access and other policies with a clear correlation between the address and the person logged into the system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;"The advantage of being able to undertake individual IP addresses for each student is that you know the student is in Year 10, say, instead of Year 6. You can protect the Year 6 kids a lot more because with IPv6 they're all on the same IP address range" rather than relying on whichever address the NAT spits out on a particular day."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;As well as providing better control and role-based segregation of network users, IPv6 provides visibility that's lacking under current NAT-based IPv4 structures. Such capabilities are invaluable in forensic activities such as tracking down cyber-bullies, but they're also important in helping the network reach out to better manage the influx of mobile devices.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;"We've got this mushrooming of mobility, computer usage and network size that introduces complications all through the school's operations," said Karp. "Establishing the identity of the students – especially if they're somewhere else and not at the school – is more difficult because of NAT, which is introducing an identity problem that's very difficult to deal with."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The World IPv6 Day tests got off to a rocky start when a simultaneous ISP failure saw gathered dignitaries faced with no connectivity at all. But once the problem was identified and the ISP came back online, the IPv6 environment worked as expected and Karp said the day was labelled a massive success.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Reinforcing the value of minimising NAT presence, Karp said, administrators at Wollondilly Anglican College had only its own NAT to deal with, and not an additional layer of obfuscation at its ISP as at Waverley. The IPv6 layer worked smoothly during the World IPv6 Day test, with students simply getting online and getting on with things.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Thanks to :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cso.com.au/article/405226/ipv6_boosts_schools_on-net_security/" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;http://www.cso.com.au/article/405226/ipv6_boosts_schools_on-net_security/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-7268751828948602918?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/7268751828948602918/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/11/ipv6-big-win-for-school.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7268751828948602918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7268751828948602918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/11/ipv6-big-win-for-school.html' title='IPV6 : a big win for school'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-8216792321196112472</id><published>2011-11-28T22:04:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-28T22:05:27.088+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Boost to IPV6</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Support for IPv6 has grown by almost 20 times in the past year by one measure, but most websites still can't be reached without IPv4, the current Internet Protocol, which is near running out of unclaimed addresses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The number of subdomains under .com, .net and .org that support Internet Protocol version 6 increased by about 1,900 percent in the year leading up to October 2011, according to an automated sampling of subdomains by Measurement Factory.

If a user with an IPv6-only device tries to go to a website, for example, the site's registrar can match up its URL with an IPv6 address and kick back an answer to the Web surfer, said Cricket Liu, vice president of architecture at InfoBlox.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Most of the dramatic boost in the past year came when GoDaddy, one of the world's largest domain registrars, made its DNS work with IPv6. GoDaddy claims its DNS service has more than 30 million customers. Had it not been for GoDaddy, the number of subdomains supported would have grown by a bit more than double, to about 3 percent, according to Measurement Factory.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;But for now, most of those DNS requests wouldn't take an IPv6-only user to an actual Web page, because less than 1 percent of all subdomains surveyed had IPv6-enabled Web servers, according to the Measurement Factory study. Likewise, there were very few IPv6 email servers. Just over 2 percent of zones were served by IPv6-compatible mail servers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The good news is that many more operators of websites, such as GoDaddy's customers, now can serve IPv6 visitors once they have an IPv6-compliant Web server, Liu said. Along with GoDaddy, Measurement Factory cited three other major registrars, Gandi and OVH in France and Active24 in the Czech Republic, that adopted IPv6 during the period.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;GoDaddy has said it plans to extend its IPv6 strategy soon by supporting the new protocol on its website hosting service. Then, companies that rely on GoDaddy instead of operating their own Web servers will be able to run an IPv6 site.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The study found France leading in IPv6 adoption, with 57 percent of subdomains in France reachable by IPv6, followed by the U.S. with 42 percent and Czech Republic with 36 percent. But its scope was limited by examining only .com, .net and .org. For one thing, that left out subdomains that are under country-level domains in Asia, where a more severe shortage of IPv4 addresses has led to strong government efforts behind IPv6 in some countries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="storybody" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;The sample also overlooked other top-level domains where IPv6 has been more widely adopted, such as the .gov domain of the U.S. government and the .edu domain used by universities, said Nav Chander, an Internet infrastructure analyst at IDC.

It's nice to have seat belts, and having seat belts built in does make it more likely people will use them.We've been using IPSec for years in IPv4, mostly in VPNs. IPSec was invented for IPv6 and then retrofitted to IPv4, so it is no wonder the mechanics are so similar. IPv6 uses two extension headers (rather than header options) to support IPSec.The Authentication Header (AH) provides authentication and integrity. An integrity check value (ICV) is calculated over the packet and the result is inserted into the packet as an extension header. The recipient calculates the ICV, and if the received ICV matches the calculated ICV, the recipient knows the message comes from the address that appears to have sent it, it was not altered in transit. However, nothing is hidden — the packet is not encrypted.Because the source and destination addresses are included in the ICV calculation, AH cannot pass network address translation (NAT). The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) header encrypts payloads, hiding them from prying eyes while in transit. The payloads are not transmitted; they are replaced by ESP headers.The ESP header does ensure the integrity of the payload, but it doesn't guarantee the integrity of anything else, such as the source and destination addresses, or any other headers that may accompany the packet.The solution? Use both types of header: ESP to encrypt the payload and AH to ensure the integrity of the entire packet.Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)Many IPv4 network managers block all ICMP. It is a simple and effective way to protect against various attacks. While most well-managed networks are not quit so heavy-handed, it is still quite a common approach. But it's an approach that does not work very well with IPv6.IPv6 uses ICMPv6 to do critical things like neighbour discovery. Blocking ICMPv6 on an internal interface will interfere with these things. Blocking it on an outside interface, at the border of a network will have a more subtle effect — it will break path MTU discovery (PMTUD).IPv6 fragments packets only at the source, and reassembles them only at the destination. Fragmentation is done at the edges of the network, making the core faster and more efficient. When a router discovers that it cannot forward a packet because it is too large for the outgoing interface, the router sends an ICMPv6 “packet too big” response back to the source, giving the maximum transmission unit (MTU) that it can support. The source node tries again with that MTU. This is repeated until a packet size is found that is small enough to make it through all intervening routers to the destination.If anyone along the way is blocking ICMPv6, packets will be dropped, and the sender will have no reason to try smaller packets. By all means block those ICMPv6 types that you don't need — router advertisements on an outside interface, for example. And by all means rate limit those that might otherwise pose a risk — echo requests, perhaps. But block with care!If you are providing a service that may be affected by other people breaking PMTUD, such as a website, consider setting your outgoing MTU to 1280 - the minimum size that IPv6 supports. You will lose some efficiency, but will be immune to PMTUD failures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cso.com.au/author/83790464/karl-auer/articles" style="background-color: white; color: #035c83; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 11px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Karl Auer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cso.com.au/article/406672/ipv6_click_clack_front_back/?fp=4&amp;amp;fpid=959105"&gt;http://www.cso.com.au/article/406672/ipv6_click_clack_front_back/?fp=4&amp;amp;fpid=959105&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-1058373277781202418?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/1058373277781202418/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/11/ipv6-more-secured.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/1058373277781202418'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/1058373277781202418'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/11/ipv6-more-secured.html' title='IPV6 : more secured'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-8859504137840583151</id><published>2011-11-20T23:08:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-20T23:08:57.080+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Freescale Introduces 'Home Health Hub'</title><content type='html'>Freescale Semiconductor has introduced a home health hub (HHH) reference platform to help medical equipment manufacturers quickly and easily create remote-access devices that can collect, connect and securely share health data for improved healthcare management.The HHH reference platform is based on Freescale's i.MX28 applications processor and ZigBee® and sub-1 GHz transceivers. It enables secure WiFi and Ethernet connectivity to remote devices with displays, such as tablets, smartphones or PCs with medical-specific remote user interface (UI) options. The platform also can provide wired and wireless connectivity to end healthcare devices, such as blood pressure monitors, blood glucometers, weight scales, pulse oximeters and more via ZigBee, sub-1 GHz, USB, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy including medical-class-specific device profiles.According to the World Health Organization, there are 860 million chronic disease patients worldwide, and 75 to 85 percent of all healthcare spending can be attributed to chronic disease management. Many of those who suffer from chronic diseases are 65 years or older – a demographic that the U.S. Census Bureau estimates will represent 19 percent of the U.S. population, or about 72.1 million individuals, by 2030.Societies around the world continue to look for ways to reduce health care costs for these chronic patients while improving their quality of life. Remote patient monitoring devices can be made based on Freescale's home health hub reference platform and can allow patients to avoid unnecessary emergency room visits which both saves money and helps improve patient outcomes."The changing dynamics of the aging global population are creating an increased demand for new technologies and tools that can offer peace of mind to the family members of seniors living at home," said Steven Dean, manager of Freescale's Global Healthcare team. "There's also a need to provide access to healthcare in remote and growing regions of the world to improve the quality of life for millions of people. Our new home health hub reference platform is designed to simplify development of connected medical devices and help our customers more easily address these growing needs."Freescale's HHH reference platform provides comprehensive functionality and can be used as the foundation for connected medical product designs, giving developers a head-start to help them get to market faster. The Freescale HHH reference platform delivers a hardware implementation and the necessary software components to provide pre-validated, secure connectivity for healthcare devices and user interfaces."We have proven technology out there to monitor patients and connect their data to the cellular network, such that a healthcare professional could intervene instead of the patient having to go to the emergency room," said Kent Dicks, founder and CEO of MedApps.

Le versement pour la retraite peut être retenu, au choix de l'assuré, pour le taux seul ou pour le taux et la durée d'assurance (article D.351-7 CSS).L'article 18 de la loi n° 2010-1330 du 9 novembre 2010 portant réforme des retraites relève, progressivement, pour les assurés nés à compter du 1er juillet 1951, l'âge légal de départ à la retraite (Cf. circulaire CNAV n° 2011/24 du 17 mars 2011).Du fait de cette mesure, certains assurés qui avaient effectué des versements pour la retraite afin de réunir la durée d'assurance requise pour l'attribution d'une retraite au taux plein à 60 ans, devront différer leur départ à la retraite. Par conséquent, tout ou partie des versements pour la retraite qu'ils ont effectués peut, en définitive, ne plus être efficient.Aussi, l'article 24 de la loi du 9 novembre 2010 prévoit la possibilité, pour les assurés nés à compter du 1er juillet 1951, de bénéficier sous certaines conditions, du remboursement des cotisations qu'ils ont payées au titre d'un versement pour la retraite (VPLR) effectué avant le 13 juillet 2010 (date d'adoption de la mesure en conseil des ministres).La lettre ministérielle du 18 juillet 2011 a apporté des précisions relatives aux modalités d'application de la mesure de remboursement. Par ailleurs, l'instruction fiscale 5F-12-11 publiée au Bulletin officiel des impôts n° 57 du 30 juin 2011 a prévu les conséquences, sur le plan fiscal, de ces remboursements.La présente circulaire définit les modalités de mise en œuvre du dispositif de remboursement des versements pour la retraite.1 - Les conditions d'admission au remboursement du VPLRLe remboursement du VPLR est admis sous trois conditions cumulatives. Deux de ces conditions sont relatives à l'assuré et la troisième concerne la date du versement des cotisations.11 - Les conditions relatives à l'assuréSeuls les assurés, non titulaires d'une retraite personnelle de base ou complémentaires, impactés par les mesures de relèvement de l'âge légal de départ à la retraite, peuvent ouvrir droit au remboursement de leur VPLR.111 - Etre né à compter du 1er juillet 1951L'article 18 de la loi du 9 novembre 2010 a relevé l'âge légal de départ à la retraite des assurés nés à compter du 1er juillet 1951 (Cf. circulaire CNAV n° 2011/24 du 17 mars 2011).Ces assurés, qui pouvaient prétendre à un départ à la retraite à 60 ans au moment de leur demande de VPLR, pourront valider de 1 (assurés nés en 1951) à 8 (assurés nés à compter de 1956) trimestres d'assurance supplémentaires du fait de la poursuite de leur activité professionnelle ou de la validation de périodes assimilées.Aussi, seuls les assurés nés à compter du 1er juillet 1951 peuvent demander le remboursement de leur VPLR.112 - Ne pas être titulaire d'une retraite personnelle servie par un régime français de base ou complémentaire légal ou rendu légalement obligatoire.Les trimestres ayant fait l'objet d'un VPLR sont, après paiement intégral des sommes dues à ce titre ou après interruption des versements, validés pour l'année considérée et sont notamment, pris en compte dans la durée d'assurance tous régimes de l'assuré pour la détermination du taux.Pour cette raison, le remboursement du VPLR est soumis à la condition que l'assuré n'ait fait valoir aucun de ses droits aux pensions personnelles de retraite auxquels il peut prétendre au titre des régimes légaux ou rendus légalement obligatoires, de base et complémentaires.Les régimes auprès desquels l'assuré ne doit pas avoir fait valoir ses droits à retraite, s'entendent des seuls régimes français.Une attestation sur l'honneur par laquelle l'assuré déclare n'être titulaire d'aucun avantage de vieillesse personnel de base ou complémentaire est recevable. L'intéressé, doit également s'engager, sur ce même document à ne pas demander la liquidation de ces droits avant que le remboursement du VPLR n'ait été opéré.12 - Les conditions relatives aux versementsAux termes de l'article 24 de la loi du 9 novembre 2010, sont remboursables, quelle que soit l'option retenue pour le VPLR, les cotisations versées avant le 13 juillet 2010.121 - Les versements soldés par paiement comptantLes versements soldés par paiement comptant intervenus avant le 13 juillet 2010, sont remboursables. Ainsi, les VPLR notifiés avant cette date, mais dont le paiement est intervenu après le 13 juillet 2010 sont exclus du droit au remboursement.122 - Les versements échelonnésPour rappel, aux termes de l'article D.351-11 CSS, l'assuré qui demande un VPLR portant sur plus d'un trimestre peut opter pour un paiement échelonné sur une période de un, trois ou cinq ans.En cas d'échelonnement sur une période de plus de 12 mois, les sommes restant dues à l'issue de chaque période de 12 mois sont majorées (article D.351-12 CSS).Il est admis que soient remboursés les versements payés par échelonnement :- soldés, avant ou après le 13 juillet 2010 ;- interrompus (article D.351-14 CSS), avant ou après le 13 juillet 2010 dans les conditions prévues au § 7 de la circulaire CNAV n° 2004/11 du 26 février 2004 ;- en cours de paiement à la date de la demande de remboursement.Toutes les échéances, y compris celles payées après le 13 juillet 2010, peuvent être remboursées, dès lors qu'au moins une échéance a été prélevée avant cette date.Sont ainsi exclus du droit au remboursement les assurés dont le VPLR a été notifié avant le 13 juillet 2010, mais dont la première échéance a été prélevée après cette date.S'agissant des VPLR interrompus conformément à l'article D.351-14 CSS (du fait de l'assuré), le remboursement prévu à l'article 24 de la loi du 9 novembre 2010 porte sur les cotisations ayant permis, à concurrence des sommes versées, la validation de trimestres reportés au compte de l'intéressé.Concernant les demandes de remboursement visant des VPLR en cours de paiement, il convient, à la date de traitement de la demande de remboursement, de procéder à l'interruption des paiements et d'arrêter le compte VPLR. Il est à noter que cette procédure d'interruption n'entre pas dans le champ d'application de l'article D.351-14 CSS. Aussi, toutes les sommes à rembourser à l'assuré devront être revalorisées.2 - Les modalités de remboursementAux termes de l'article 24 de la loi du 9 novembre 2010, les demandes de remboursement peuvent être présentées dans un délai de trois ans à compter de la date d'entrée en vigueur de ladite loi. Sont donc recevables les demandes de remboursement présentées entre le 11 novembre 2010 et le 11 novembre 2013 inclus.L'assuré peut demander le remboursement de la totalité ou d'une partie seulement de son VPLR.Les cotisations remboursées sont revalorisées par tous les coefficients annuels de revalorisation, applicables aux pensions de vieillesse en vertu de l'article L.161-23-1 CSS, intervenus entre la date de paiement du versement et la date de notification du remboursement.Le résultat obtenu pour chaque année de revalorisation est tronqué à 2 décimales. Le résultat final du calcul est arrondi à l'euro le plus proche. Si la première décimale est égale ou supérieure à 5, le résultat est arrondi à l'euro supérieur (article L.130-1 CSS).21 - Les versements soldés par paiement comptant211 - Le remboursement de la totalité du VPLRLe remboursement porte sur l'intégralité du versement soldé par paiement comptant avant le 13 juillet 2010. Les sommes versées par l'assuré sont revalorisées par tous les coefficients annuels de revalorisation applicables aux pensions intervenus jusqu'à la date de notification du remboursement.Exemple :L'assuré a effectué le 1er juillet 2008, un VPLR de 10 trimestres pour un montant de 39 880 euros.Il demande le remboursement intégral de son VPLR le 1er janvier 2011.Le remboursement de son VPLR lui est notifié le 1er août 2011.Revalorisations à appliquer :01/09/20081,00801/04/20091,0101/04/20101,00901/04/20111,021Calcul du montant du remboursement :Sommes versées le 1er juillet 2008 : 39 880 eurosRevalorisation au 1er septembre 2008 : 39 880 x 1,008 = 40 199,04 eurosRevalorisation au 1er avril 2009 : 40 199,04 x 1,01 = 40 601, 03 eurosRevalorisation au 1er avril 2010 : 40 601, 03 x 1,009 = 40 966,43 eurosRevalorisation au 1er avril 2011 : 40 966,43 x 1,021 = 41 826,72 eurosMontant du remboursement au 1er août 2011 : 41 826,72 euros, arrondi à 41 827 euros.212 - Le remboursement d'une fraction du VPLRL'assuré peut demander à conserver une partie de son VPLR et bénéficier du remboursement des cotisations restantes.Le montant des cotisations correspondant aux trimestres à conserver sera déterminé par le produit de la valeur d'un trimestre et du nombre de trimestres que l'assuré souhaite préserver.Les cotisations conservées sont celles validant un nombre entier de trimestres.Le remboursement avec revalorisation portera sur les cotisations restantes.Exemple :L'assuré a effectué le 1er juillet 2008 un VPLR de 10 trimestres, dont le coût s'élève pour chaque trimestre à 3 988 euros, soit un montant total de 39 880 euros.Il demande le remboursement de son VPLR et souhaite conserver 4 trimestres.Le remboursement de son VPLR lui est notifié le 1er août 2011.Cout des 4 trimestres qu'il souhaite conserver = 4 x 3 988 = 15 952 eurosMontant à rembourser avant revalorisation = 39 880 - 15 952 = 23 928 eurosRevalorisations à appliquer :01/09/20081,00801/04/20091,0101/04/20101,00901/04/20111,021Calcul du montant du remboursement :Sommes versées le 1er juillet 2008 : 23 928 eurosRevalorisation au 1er septembre 2008 : 23 928 x 1,008 = 24 119,42 eurosRevalorisation au 1er avril 2009 : 24 119,42 x 1,01 = 24 360,61 eurosRevalorisation au 1er avril 2010 : 24 360,61 x 1,009 = 24 579,85 eurosRevalorisation au 1er avril 2011 : 24 579,85 x 1,021 = 25 096,02 eurosMontant du remboursement au 1er août 2011 : 25 096,02 euros, arrondi à 25 096 euros.22 - Les versements échelonnés221 - Le remboursement de la totalité du VPLRLe remboursement porte sur la totalité des sommes versées par l'assuré. Il inclut les majorations pour paiement échelonné prévues à l'article D.351-12 CSS.La revalorisation du montant à rembourser est calculée pour chaque échéance de paiement en fonction de sa date de versement.Les échéances versées après le 13 juillet 2010 font également l'objet de la revalorisation prévue au 2ème alinéa de l'article 24 de la loi du 9 novembre 2010.Exemple :L'assuré effectue le 1er février 2007, un VPLR de 12 trimestres pour un montant de 38 604 euros. Le paiement du VPLR est échelonné sur une période de 3 ans.Le premier prélèvement est opéré le 28 février 2007 et le VPLR est soldé le 31 janvier 2010.Les sommes versées par l'assuré au 31 janvier 2010, compte tenu des majorations intervenues conformément à l'article D.351-12 CSS, s'élèvent à 39 211, 93 euros.L'intéressé demande le remboursement intégral de son VPLR le 1er janvier 2011. Le remboursement lui est notifié le 1er août 2011.Revalorisations à appliquer :01/01/20081,01101/09/20081,00801/04/20091,0101/04/20101,00901/04/20111,021Calcul du montant du remboursement :Somme des prélèvements effectués du 28 février 2007 au 31 décembre 2007 : 11 795,76 eurosRevalorisation au 1er janvier 2008 : 11 795,76 x 1,011 = 11 925,51 eurosSomme des prélèvements effectués du 31 janvier 2008 au 31 août 2008 : 8 698,76 eurosRevalorisation au 1er septembre 2008 : (11 925,51 + 8 698,76) x 1,008 = 20 789,26 eurosSomme des prélèvements effectués du 30 septembre 2008 au 31 mars 2009 : 7 670,02 eurosRevalorisation au 1er avril 2009 : (20 789,26 + 7 670,02) x 1,01 = 28 743,87 eurosSomme des prélèvements effectués du 30 avril 2009 au 31 janvier 2010 : 11 047,4 eurosAucune somme versée après le 31 janvier 2010, le VPLR étant soldé à cette date.Revalorisation au 1er avril 2010 : (28 743,87 + 11 047,4) x 1,009 = 40 149,39 eurosRevalorisation au 1er avril 2011 : 40 149,39 x 1,021 = 40 992,52 eurosMontant du remboursement au 1er août 2011 : 40 992,52 euros, arrondi à 40 993 euros.222 - Le remboursement d'une fraction du VPLR2221 - PrincipeLorsque l'assuré demande le remboursement d'une partie seulement du VPLR, les trimestres conservés sont réputés avoir été payés par les premières échéances. Le remboursement porte sur le reliquat des cotisations, versées postérieurement.Seront ainsi remboursées les cotisations excédant le produit du nombre de trimestres conservés par la valeur du trimestre à la date du remboursement.2222 - Modalités de calcul du remboursementIl convient, dans un premier temps, de déterminer à la date d'arrêt des paiements, la valeur d'un trimestre après application des dispositions de l'article D.351-12 CSS. Le résultat obtenu est arrondi à l'euro le plus proche (article L.130-1 CSS).Par la suite il convient de déterminer le montant des cotisations correspondant au nombre de trimestres que l'assuré souhaite conserver par la valeur du trimestre déterminé ci-dessus.Il sera ainsi fixé la date à laquelle le montant des échéances cumulées permet la validation du nombre de trimestres à conserver au compte. Le montant immédiatement supérieur doit être retenu.Le calcul des cotisations restantes à rembourser et des coefficients de revalorisation à appliquer sera déterminé à compter de cette dernière date.Les cotisations à rembourser seront revalorisées en fonction de leur date de paiement.Exemple :L'assuré a effectué le 1er février 2007, un VPLR de 12 trimestres pour un montant de 38 604 euros.Le paiement du VPLR est échelonné sur une période de 3 ans.Le 1er janvier 2011, il demande le remboursement de son VPLR et souhaite conserver 8 trimestres.Le premier prélèvement a été opéré le 28 février 2007 et le VPLR soldé le 31 janvier 2010.Le remboursement de son VPLR lui est notifié le 1er août 2011.Détermination des sommes à maintenir pour la validation des trimestres à conserver :Valeur du trimestre au 1er février 2007 : 3 217 eurosValeur du trimestre au 31 janvier 2010 (coût initial + majorations) : 3 317,50 euros, arrondi à 3 318 euros.Coût des 8 trimestres à conserver au compte : 26 544 euros (3 318 x 8).Le montant des échéances cumulées atteint 27 053,25 euros au 28 février 2009. A cette date, les 8 trimestres correspondant à la somme de 26 544 euros sont réputés payés.Le reliquat de cotisations de 509,25 euros (27 053,25 - 26 544) doit être intégré dans le montant des cotisations à rembourser avec revalorisation.Revalorisations à appliquer :01/04/20091,0101/04/20101,00901/04/20111,021Calcul du montant du remboursement :Le reliquat de cotisations au 28 février 2009 est de : 509,25 euros.Prélèvement effectué au 31 mars 2009 : 1 111, 28 eurosRevalorisation au 1er avril 2009 : (509,25 + 1 111,28) x 1,01 = 1 636,73Somme des prélèvements effectués du 30 avril 2009 au 31 janvier 2010 : 11 047,40Aucune somme n'est versée après le 31 janvier 2010, le VPLR étant soldé à cette date.Revalorisation au 1er avril 2010 : (1 636,73 + 11 047,4) x 1,009 = 12 798,29Revalorisation au 1er avril 2011 : 12 798,29 x 1,021 = 13 067,05Montant du remboursement au 1er août 2011 : 13 067,05 euros, arrondi à 13 067 euros.3 - L'incidence du remboursement sur la carrièreAprès le paiement intégral ou l'interruption de paiement prévu à l'article D.351-14 CSS, des trimestres VPLR sont reportés au compte individuel de l'assuré.Le remboursement intégral du VPLR entraine l'annulation des trimestres reportés, à ce titre, au compte individuel de l'intéressé. En cas de remboursement partiel, les trimestres conservés au compte sont ceux reportés sur les périodes les plus anciennes.4 - L'information de l'assuréL'article 24 de la loi du 9 novembre 2010 prévoit que les assurés concernés, qu'ils résident en France ou à l'étranger, sont informés de la possibilité de demander le remboursement de leur VPLR.La lettre ministérielle du 18 juillet 2011 précise que les caisses doivent informer par tous moyens les assurés éligibles au remboursement de leur VPLR.Une information individuelle écrite sera ainsi faite aux assurés concernés nés à compter du 1er juillet 1951, dont la pension au régime général n'a pas été attribuée.5 - L'impact fiscalLes cotisations versées au titre d'un versement pour la retraite sont intégralement déductibles des revenus imposables des assurés concernés.L'instruction fiscale 5F-12-11 publiée au Bulletin officiel des impôts n° 57 du 30 juin 2011 précise que les versements pour la retraite remboursés sont imposables, au titre de leur année de perception, dans la même catégorie d'imposition que celle pour laquelle elles avaient été admises en déduction d'impôt.Le montant imposable est le montant total du remboursement, y compris la fraction correspondant à la revalorisation des cotisations initialement versées.L'assuré est informé du caractère imposable du remboursement de son VPLR.Une attestation fiscale lui sera adressée en temps utile afin de permettre l'établissement de sa déclaration d'impôt.Pierre Mayeur&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-1471074195409485994?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/1471074195409485994/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/remboursement-des-cotisations-quils-ont.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/1471074195409485994'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/1471074195409485994'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/remboursement-des-cotisations-quils-ont.html' title='Remboursement des cotisations payées au titre d&apos;un versement pour la retraite (VPLR)'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-1842904337922945967</id><published>2011-10-28T10:36:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-28T10:36:40.621+02:00</updated><title type='text'>TéléAVC en IDF</title><content type='html'>L'Agence régionale de santé (ARS) Ile-de-France a présenté jeudi l'expérimentation de l'outil de télémédecine "Téléneuro", destiné à améliorer la prise en charge des accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC) dans la région, mais aussi, à terme, des autres urgences neurologiques.Pour l'expérimentation Téléneuro, l'ARS a alloué 100.000 euros aux établissements participants.L'intérêt d'un outil de télémédecine permettant aux services d'urgences des hôpitaux n'ayant pas de neurologue de bénéficier rapidement d'une expertise neurologique, afin d'instaurer au plus tôt la thrombolyse, avant même le transfert vers une structure spécialisée, se fait donc sentir pour améliorer le pronostic des patients.En matière d'AVC, chaque minute compte pour le patient, la thrombolyse pour les AVC ischémiques ne pouvant être réalisée que dans les trois heures après le début des symptômes. Attendre de transférer le patient vers une UNV, s'il n'y a pas été dirigé dès le départ, représente donc une perte de chance pour ce dernier.L'expérimentation de l'outil Téléneuro concerne sept établissements. Il est mis en place en Seine-Saint-Denis entre le CH de Saint-Denis, qui dispose d'une UNV, et les hôpitaux Jean-Verdier de Bondy (AP-HP) et André Grégoire de Montreuil, en Seine-et-Marne entre le centre hospitalier de Meaux, qui a une UNV, et celui de Lagny qui n'en a pas, et à Paris entre deux hôpitaux de l'AP-HP, Tenon avec UNV et Saint-Antoine sans UNV.Par ordinateurs interposés et au moyen d'une caméra équipant la salle de téléconsultation du service d'urgence de Jean Verdier, télécommandée à partir de l'ordinateur du neurologue à Saint-Denis, ce dernier a pu examiner le patient précisément (y compris le réflexe pupillaire), les clichés d'imagerie réalisés aux urgences, poser le diagnostic et prescrire, le cas échéant, la thrombolyse, administrée alors aux urgences avant le transfert vers l'UNV pour la suite de la prise en charge.Source et suite : www.apmnews.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-1842904337922945967?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/1842904337922945967/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/teleavc-en-idf.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/1842904337922945967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/1842904337922945967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/teleavc-en-idf.html' title='TéléAVC en IDF'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-7466616458168913774</id><published>2011-10-27T18:10:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-27T18:10:53.642+02:00</updated><title type='text'>ANTIBIOCLIC</title><content type='html'>ANTIBIOCLIC est un outil d’aide à la décision thérapeutique en antibiothérapie, destiné aux médecins de 1er recours.

Just recently at Disrupt we saw&lt;a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/05/24/smartheart-turns-your-mobile-phone-into-a-heart-monitor/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Smartheart&lt;/a&gt;, and apps like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://eu.techcrunch.com/2011/06/27/check-your-skin-for-a-melanoma-yes-theres-an-app-for-that-too/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Skin Scan&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are decentralizing some simple self-monitoring tasks like melanoma detection.&lt;br /&gt;We’ve also seen lots of physical additions to the iPhone camera. You can get wide-angle lenses, telephotos, and even a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/06/got-10-bucks-and-5-minutes-turn-your-iphone-4-into-a-12x-microscope/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;12x microscope lens&lt;/a&gt;. But a team of researchers at UC Davis has one-upped the competition by making the iPhone into a 350x microscope for very little money. Now you’ll be able to send people Instagrams of your blood cells.It should be said right off the bat that this isn’t something that&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;only&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;the iPhone can do. But it’s the go-to device for proof of concept stuff like this for obvious reasons. The technique can be generalized to other devices later.The project is actually quite a simple little hack. They use a 1mm ball lens and attach it to the outside of the iPhone lens array with a rubber sheet and some tape. The little lens technically only offers 5x magnification, but the way it focuses creates a tiny in-focus area that can resolve details down to about 1.5 microns. The field of view is very small and there’s distortion to deal with, but by combining the in-focus areas of several pictures you can get a clear enough image to identify cell types, make counts, or even take spectroscopic readings.Take a look at these images: the ones on the top were taken with a full-on commercial medical microscope, the ones on the bottom are from the iPhone setup:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a class="cboxElement" href="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/journal-pone-0017150-g012.jpg" rel="lightbox[433199]" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-433228" height="302" journal.pone.0017150.g012"="" src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/journal-pone-0017150-g012.jpg?w=640&amp;amp;h=302" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 540px;" width="540" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;There’s obviously a major difference in quality, but the difference in price is even greater, and high-quality microscopes aren’t very mobile.Essentially it’s one more step towards a tricorder. With a general-purpose CPU, modular inputs, and a versatile imaging unit, the smartphone is useful for far more than calling friends and playing Angry Birds. It may not be a mobile clinic, but in areas where money and electricity are hard to come by, an iPhone could be a valuable diagnostic tool. Extending the “senses” of our devices via cheap components and elbow grease could seriously empower decentralized medical care.&lt;a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0017150#pone-0017150-g001" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;You can read the whole paper here&lt;/a&gt;.Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/07/turning-the-iphone-into-a-350x-medical-microscope-for-under-50/" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/07/turning-the-iphone-into-a-350x-medical-microscope-for-under-50/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-5354565821514913683?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/5354565821514913683/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/turning-iphone-into-350x-medical.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5354565821514913683'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5354565821514913683'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/turning-iphone-into-350x-medical.html' title='Turning The iPhone Into A 350x Medical Microscope'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-2739811075158204753</id><published>2011-10-09T22:09:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-18T10:21:23.428+02:00</updated><title type='text'>AnyMeeting, The Free Webinar Service</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.anymeeting.com/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;AnyMeeting&lt;/a&gt;, the free web conferencing service all your online meeting and conference needs, is today launching a redesign of its user interface, which brings the service an upgraded interface that makes it even easier to meet with your colleagues without actually having to see them in person. If that doesn’t get you excited, I don’t know what will.The company has also added a simultaneous video chat and broadcasting feature — a la Google+ Hangouts — that allows up to six participants to talk to each other and collaborate in realtime as they plan their takeover of the world.The updates also include faster screen sharing and a cleaner in-meeting experience with improved screen management and web conferencing functions all offered in an easily-accessible menu bar.The SaaS meeting and conference service, which was launched in late 2009, allows users to host meetings of up to 200 attendees with no time limits, screen sharing, app sharing, recording, and social media integration. The company is really targeting small businesses and independent professionals looking to offer how-to videos, demonstrations, or host panels and seminars.

The feature is integrated into the startup’s webinar system in hopes of making monetization simple for its users — all they have to do is set their ticket price (or offer discount codes) and viewers can pay using their credit card or PayPal account. The funds go directly to the AnyMeeting users that scheduled the seminar, at which point the service deducts a small fee for each ticket purchased.A small service charge, along with some non-intrusive advertising and strategic partnerships, are how the startup plans to make money.Source and more :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/07/anymeeting-the-free-webinar-service-launches-redesign-six-way-video-conferencing/"&gt;http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/07/anymeeting-the-free-webinar-service-launches-redesign-six-way-video-conferencing/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-2739811075158204753?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/2739811075158204753/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/anymeeting-free-webinar-service.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2739811075158204753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2739811075158204753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/anymeeting-free-webinar-service.html' title='AnyMeeting, The Free Webinar Service'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-5568092230808618702</id><published>2011-10-07T16:50:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-07T16:50:53.010+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Limousin: un réseau de télémédecine en gérontologie prévu pour avril</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="I_STORIES_depeche_lead"&gt;L'association "Gérontologie avec la Télémédecine en Limousin" (Gérontellim) projette de développer, à partir du mois d'avril, un réseau de télémédecine en gérontologie sur la région. Précisions de Jean-Claude Roncari, directeur de l’association, dans un entretien accordé à TICsanté.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="I_STORIES_depeche_text"&gt;Créée en août dernier, l'association Gérontellim rassemble différents professionnels de santé (gériatres, médecins traitants, gérontologues et médecins coordonnateurs d’établissements d'hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes -Ehpad) autour d'une même ambition: développer un réseau de télémédecine principalement entre les Ehpad de la région, éloignés du CHU de Limoges dans un rayon de 25 à 40 km, indique Jean-Claude Roncari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La télémédecine présente un intérêt particulier dans le domaine de la gérontologie en contribuant à renforcer la sécurité des personnes âgées dépendantes et en améliorant leur prise en charge, précise l'association dans un communiqué. Le réseau va notamment permettre d’éviter les transferts des résidents des Ehpad vers le CHU, qui peuvent parfois se révéler particulièrement traumatisants, souligne Jean-Claude Roncari. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le réseau va dans un premier temps cibler un modèle gériatrique avec des spécialisations définies en Haute-Vienne, informe-t-il. L'idée est d'être pragmatique et de débuter l'expérimentation pour six mois, avec tout d'abord trois Ehpad (deux en Haute-Vienne et un en Corrèze) et quatre sites hospitaliers (le pôle de gérontologie, le service de soins palliatifs et le service de médecine physique et de réadaptation du CHU de Limoges, ainsi que service de psychiatrie du sujet âgé du CH Esquirol). Le développement du réseau se poursuivra ensuite progressivement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un dispositif de visioconférence va être mis en place dans les Ehpad pour permettre la mise en relation des professionnels de santé de la structure avec le site hospitalier. Le but est d'établir un diagnostic, de prendre une décision pour un traitement ou une prise en charge et d'éviter les transferts, explique le directeur de Gérontellim. Un dispositif de rééducation fonctionnelle va être également mis en oeuvre dans une salle spécifique de l'Ehpad avec un système de caméra mobile pour suivre à distance le patient, mentionne-t-il. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le réseau de télémédecine a pour objectif prioritaire d'améliorer le confort de vie des résidents d’Ehpad avec un accès optimisé aux consultations avancées de spécialités, déclare Jean-Claude Roncari. Les bénéfices attendus sont relatifs à un meilleur suivi des patients, des échanges facilités entre les professionnels de soins, une prise en charge plus rapide et à l’Ehpad, des hospitalisations évitées, précise le communiqué. Les caisses d’assurance maladie devraient rapidement en voir les bénéfices grâce à la diminution des transports en ambulance, mais également des hospitalisations inappropriées, note-t-il. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parmi les difficultés rencontrées, Jean-Claude Roncari évoque le fait que certains médecins, souvent proches de la retraite, ne soient pas familiers avec ces nouvelles technologies. D'autre part, le budget pour la rémunération des praticiens est également source d’interrogations, relève-t-il. Dans le cadre expérimental, il a été décidé que la rémunération serait au coup par coup avec des tarifs basés sur ceux de la Caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (CPAM), informe-t-il. En revanche, il n'y a pas de difficultés liées au niveau d’informatisation des Ehpad. Travaillant avec le syndicat interhospitalier du Limousin (SIL), ces structures disposent déjà pour la plupart d'entre elles d'outils tels que des messageries sécurisées, informe-t-il.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les Ehpad vont également être des centres de consultation pour des personnes âgées venues de l’extérieur, révèle le directeur de Gérontellim. Tous les patients dans un rayon de 10 km pourront ainsi utiliser le système de rééducation fonctionnelle à distance et bénéficier des dispositifs mis en place au sein de l'Ehpad. En outre, c'est un système qui se veut "ouvert" vers les infirmiers, les médecins généralistes, les kinésithérapeutes, mentionne-t-il. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source et plus :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ticsante.com/"&gt;http://www.ticsante.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-5568092230808618702?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/5568092230808618702/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/limousin-un-reseau-de-telemedecine-en.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5568092230808618702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5568092230808618702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/limousin-un-reseau-de-telemedecine-en.html' title='Limousin: un réseau de télémédecine en gérontologie prévu pour avril'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-7510354536209057451</id><published>2011-10-05T13:35:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-05T13:37:53.769+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Les députés votent la certification obligatoire des logiciels d’aide à la prescription et à la délivrance</title><content type='html'>L’Assemblée nationale a adopté le 4 octobre le projet de loi relatif au renforcement de la sécurité sanitaire du médicament et des produits de santé, dont l’article 21 rend obligatoire la certification par la Haute autorité de santé (HAS) des logiciels d’aide à la prescription (LAP) et à la dispensation (LAD) avant 2015.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="I_STORIES_depeche_text"&gt;Les certifications des LAP et des LAD seront "rendues obligatoires pour tout logiciel dont une des fonctionnalités est de proposer une aide à l’édition des prescriptions médicales ou une aide à la dispensation des médicaments dans des conditions prévues par décret en Conseil d’Etat et au plus tard le 1er janvier 2015", stipule le projet de loi voté par les députés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le texte précise que la certification des LAP "garantit la conformité des logiciels à des exigences minimales en termes de sécurité, de conformité et d’efficience de la prescription".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une telle procédure existe déjà pour les LAP utilisés en médecine ambulatoire. A ce jour, seules l’application Alma Pro v2.1, de l’association Alma, et la suite logicielle CrossWay Premium v19, de l’éditeur Cegedim, ont satisfait au "référentiel par essai de type" de la HAS, publié en novembre 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un référentiel similaire, adapté aux LAP hospitaliers, a été soumis à relecture publique en début d’année et devait être validé avant l’été (voir dépêche TICsanté du 11 janvier 2011). Sa publication semble désormais reportée après l’adoption définitive de la loi par le Parlement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L’article 21 crée également une certification des LAD, que la HAS sera chargée d’établir. Cette procédure garantira "notamment que ces logiciels assurent la traduction des principes actifs des médicaments selon leur dénomination commune internationale [DCI] recommandée par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé ou, à défaut, leur dénomination dans la pharmacopée européenne ou française".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Par ailleurs, la prescription en DCI est rendue obligatoire par l’article 12 du projet de loi, qui entrera en vigueur au plus tard le 1er janvier 2015.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfin, l’article 21 spécifie que les certifications pourront être délivrées par "des organismes certificateurs accrédités par le Comité français d’accréditation [Cofrac] ou par l’organisme compétent d’un autre Etat membre de l’Union européenne". Jusqu’à présent, seule la société SGS-ICS a obtenu une accréditation de la HAS pour la procédure de certification des LAP ambulatoires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le projet de loi doit maintenant être examiné par le Sénat, dont le calendrier sera arrêté au plus tard vendredi 7 octobre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ticsante.com/"&gt;http://www.ticsante.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-7510354536209057451?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/7510354536209057451/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/les-deputes-votent-la-certification.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7510354536209057451'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7510354536209057451'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/10/les-deputes-votent-la-certification.html' title='Les députés votent la certification obligatoire des logiciels d’aide à la prescription et à la délivrance'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-3179460644661564914</id><published>2011-09-26T10:49:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-26T10:49:36.179+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bureautique santé: l’Aquitaine choisit Santeos</title><content type='html'>Le groupement de coopération sanitaire (GCS) Télésanté Aquitaine a sélectionné la société Santeos pour mettre en œuvre le programme "Bureautique santé" dans la région.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="I_STORIES_depeche_text"&gt;Le GCS aquitain a notifié sa décision le 9 août 2011. La candidature de Santeos a été retenue parmi les cinq présentées, pour un montant supérieur à 1,5 million d’euros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le prestataire devra concevoir et réaliser "une offre industrielle de type 'bureautique' gérant des documents de santé sécurisés" et la déployer dans 150 établissements sanitaires et médico-sociaux qu’il aura recrutés au préalable, le tout avant décembre 2012, la durée du marché étant fixée à 16 mois.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Santeos fournira une solution informatique inspirée de sa suite applicative Santeos Office et en assurera l’hébergement. Deux entreprises sous-traitantes seront sollicitées: Direct Medica interviendra lors de la phase de recrutement des établissements, tandis que CIS Infoservices intègrera la solution sur les sites et effectuera la formation et le support des utilisateurs, précise le GCS Télésanté Aquitaine, contacté par TICsanté.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La suite Santeos Office a été homologuée par l’agence des systèmes d’information partagés de santé (Asip santé) pour l’alimentation du dossier médical personnel (DMP), ainsi que pour sa création et sa gestion administrative (voir dépêche TICsanté du 6 avril 2011).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De plus, Santeos a déjà obtenu trois agréments au titre d’hébergeur de données de santé, en particulier pour l’hébergement national du DMP (voir dépêche TICsanté du 18 novembre 2010).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le recrutement des établissements pour le programme "Bureautique santé" en Aquitaine devrait commencer par "l’envoi d’une première vague de courriers début octobre", prévient le GCS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Santeos et Direct Medica pourront s’appuyer sur une "liste des sites potentiellement intéressés", recensés par Télésanté Aquitaine. En outre, l’avis d’attribution signale une "priorité sur les départements de la Gironde et des Pyrénées-Atlantiques".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compte tenu des délais impartis, l’objectif est de "commencer rapidement avec les établissements les plus motivés", souligne Lionel Isolda, responsable du projet au GCS. "Quelques sites pilotes" devraient être opérationnels dès décembre 2011 et le déploiement général devrait être achevé avant l’été 2012 afin de garantir "au moins six mois d’expérimentation" aux autres structures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le coût total du programme "Bureautique santé" en Aquitaine inclut également les salaires et les frais de trois employés du GCS et de deux prestataires extérieurs, pour la conduite et la communication du projet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le niveau de dépense s’avérant inférieur à la prévision initiale, l’Asip santé, qui peut financer jusqu’à 80% des coûts "éligibles" de ce projet, aurait réduit sa subvention de 2,7 à 2,5 millions d’euros. "Le budget a été revu à la baisse", rapporte Lionel Isolda. Le reste des financements provient des fonds du GCS et d’une participation de l’agence régionale de santé (ARS).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ticsante.com/"&gt;http://www.ticsante.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-3179460644661564914?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/3179460644661564914/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/bureautique-sante-laquitaine-choisit.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/3179460644661564914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/3179460644661564914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/bureautique-sante-laquitaine-choisit.html' title='Bureautique santé: l’Aquitaine choisit Santeos'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-3194348116204072860</id><published>2011-09-21T15:56:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-21T15:56:05.813+02:00</updated><title type='text'>La prise en charge des accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC)</title><content type='html'>La prise en charge des accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC) à la phase aiguë par télémédecine dans les zones dépourvues d'unité neurovasculaire (UNV) est coût-efficace mais à long terme, suggère une étude américaine à paraître dans Neurology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'accès à la fibrinolyse pour traiter les AVC ischémiques à la phase aiguë reste limité, en particulier dans les zones rurales où il manque de neurologues expérimentés. La télémédecine apparaît comme une méthode efficace de prise en charge dans les centres ne disposant pas d'experts sur place, rappellent Richard Nelson du VA Salt Lake City Health Care System et ses collègues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cependant, la prise en charge par télémédecine implique des coûts d'installation initiale du matériel et nécessite de former le personnel à son utilisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les chercheurs ont comparé le rapport coût/efficacité de la prise en charge par télémédecine à une prise en charge classique par le service d'accueil des urgences, sans consultation possible d'experts en AVC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour cela, ils ont utilisé un modèle analytique d'aide à la décision avec un suivi à trois mois et sur l'ensemble de la durée de vie. Les paramètres utilisés ont été tirés de la littérature publiée et des données d'expériences de télémédecine menées dans des pays occidentaux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les coûts (fibrinolytique, hospitalisation, transfert, soignants) ont été estimés dans une perspective sociétale et exprimés en dollars américains de 2008, avec pour le modèle sur l'ensemble de la durée de vie une réduction annuelle de 3% des coûts et des années de vie ajustées pour la qualité (QALY).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le réseau de télémédecine testé consistait en une UNV au sein d'un CHU, avec quatre spécialistes des AVC, connectée à huit hôpitaux généraux, chacun réalisant une douzaine de téléconsultations par an.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les résultats montrent que les coûts de prise en charge à trois mois ou sur toute la vie sont plus élevés avec la télémédecine que la prise en charge classique mais en association avec un nombre moyen de QALY plus élevé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le rapport coût/efficacité supplémentaire généré par la télémédecine est de 108.363 dollars par QALY gagnée à trois mois de suivi, ce qui est très élevé si l'on tient compte du seuil de 50.000 dollars/QALY habituellement cité, mais n'est plus que de 2.449 dollars par QALY gagnée si l'on prend en compte toute la durée de vie des patients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le modèle montre également que le rapport coût/efficacité de la télémédecine par rapport à une prise en charge classique augmente avec le nombre d'hôpitaux inclus dans un réseau, avec 480.258 dollars/QALY à trois mois et 3.509 dollars/QALY sur toute une vie pour un seul établissement et respectivement 196.910 dollars/QALY et 2.701 dollars/QALY pour trois établissements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les chercheurs ont également réalisé 10.000 simulations selon la méthode de Monte Carlo, montrant que dans 37,5% des cas à trois mois de suivi et 99,7% des cas sur toute la vie, le rapport coût/efficacité supplémentaire généré par la télémédecine est inférieur à 50.000 dollars/QALY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ces résultats montrent que la mise en place d'un réseau de télémédecine pour prendre en charge les AVC à la phase aiguë dans les zones dépourvues d'experts est coût-efficace lorsque l'on prend en considération l'impact de la fibrinolyse sur la qualité de vie tout le long de la vie, commentent les chercheurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La télémédecine offre également la possibilité d'offrir un égal accès aux soins, soulignent-ils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.apmnews.com/story.php?numero=217910&amp;amp;profil=20482"&gt;http://www.apmnews.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-3194348116204072860?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/3194348116204072860/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/la-prise-en-charge-des-accidents.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/3194348116204072860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/3194348116204072860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/la-prise-en-charge-des-accidents.html' title='La prise en charge des accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC)'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-5794696747555249194</id><published>2011-09-19T16:25:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-19T16:26:00.035+02:00</updated><title type='text'>ACER takes care of ICONIA TAB 500 OS</title><content type='html'>Acer has just updated Android Honeycomb on their ICONIA tablets to version 3.2 thru OTA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acer had postponed this upgrade two times after some late discovered problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember Acer Iconia TAB 500 was delivered with Android 3.0 then upgraded to 3.1, now 3.2.

Elle a vocation à s'étendre à terme aux 18 Ehpad environnants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette "visiogériatrie" pourra également s'appuyer sur l'expertise du "superviseur de la filière gériatrique", qui vient d'être créé au CHI du bassin de Thau "sur le modèle du 'case manager' canadien", a expliqué Jean-Marie Bolliet. Il s'agit d'un médecin gériatre chargé d'assurer les missions de coordination d'Ehpad de la filière gériatrique et de fluidifier cette dernière dans le cadre de l'expérimentation de l'intervention de l'équipe mobile de gériatrie au sein des Ehpad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour Jean-Marie Bolliet, cette expérimentation devrait permettre au parcours de la personne âgée de "devenir encore plus gradué et cohérent". Il assure toutefois que ces échanges ne mettent "pas en péril les rencontres physiques" qui restent "indispensables".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans la convention de partenariat signée pour un an entre le CHI et les Ehpad participant à l'expérimentation, il est précisé que la "sécurité des données échangées" sera "préservée grâce aux réseaux utilisés" et que ces échanges ne sont possibles qu'après avoir recueilli le consentement de la personne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une évaluation et un suivi de la convention sont prévus annuellement à travers des indicateurs définis en commun et une réunion de concertation entre les parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interrogé sur le coût et le financement de cette expérimentation, le directeur du CHI a souligné que l'équipement était assez peu onéreux, puisque ces tablettes graphiques coûtaient environ 500 euros, soit un coût compris entre 500 et 1.000 euros pour les Ehpad, qui pourront s'équiper d'une ou deux tablettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le directeur de l'établissement a également fait part du lancement d'un dispositif de télémédecine entre les sites hospitaliers de Sète et d'Agde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette expérimentation, qui repose également sur l'utilisation de tablettes graphiques de deuxième génération, permettra de la télésurveillance, c'est-à-dire l'interprétation à distance des données nécessaires au suivi médical d'un patient, et de la télé-expertise, c'est-à-dire la sollicitation d'avis par un praticien de confrères spécialisés. Cela concerne principalement les spécialités de cardiologie, de gériatrie, de médecine et des urgences, a indiqué Jean-Marie Bolliet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce dispositif permettra "de pouvoir partager au plus vite et visuellement des informations sur, par exemple, des indications de prise en charge des situations d'urgence entre les deux services concernés distants de 30 kilomètres".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.apmnews.com/&gt;http://www.apmnews.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-6059772788407505699?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/6059772788407505699/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/telemedecine-geriatrique-avec-des-ehpad.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/6059772788407505699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/6059772788407505699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/telemedecine-geriatrique-avec-des-ehpad.html' title='Télémédecine gériatrique avec des EHPAD'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-704654668648380883</id><published>2011-09-05T15:05:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T15:05:08.728+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Easy e-invoicing for Norway’s SME’s</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;All suppliers selling to the Norwegian state must from next summer send their invoices electronically. One-man firms (like the local carpenter) rarely have their own e-procurement systems and need easy to use web tools where they can produce their invoices. Difi is now inviting suppliers offering web-based invoicing solutions to adapt their solutions to the Norwegian PEPPOL-enabled format for e-invoicing.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;Next year as of 1st of July, all suppliers, also small and medium sizes businesses (SME’s), must send their invoices electronically to the Norwegian public sector. This also applies to one-man firms, which are more than half of the private businesses in Norway. The invoices must be sent with the format EHF, a Norwegian implementation of the PEPPOL business interoperability specifications (BIS).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;We cannot expect that SME’s have their own e-procurement solutions installed. Therefore, the above-mentioned scenario will be difficult to achieve unless private sector can offer several web-based e-invoicing services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;Today there are over fifty suppliers offering web-invoicing in Norway, but only one supplier is ready to produce electronic invoices on EHF format.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="" name="0.2_graphic05"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img alt="Your browser may not support display of this image." class="quimby_search_image" height="1" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?name=d33be9805ff33117.jpg&amp;amp;attid=0.2&amp;amp;disp=vahi&amp;amp;view=att&amp;amp;th=13238c1c8b4bab5b" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Business opportunity for suppliers of electronic invoicing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;The director general of the Norwegian Agency for Public Management and e-Government (Difi), Hans Christian Holte, invites suppliers to a dialogue meeting regarding web-based e-invoicing services for the public sector.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="" name="0.2_graphic06"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;img alt="Your browser may not support display of this image." class="quimby_search_image" height="1" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?name=d33be9805ff33117.jpg&amp;amp;attid=0.2&amp;amp;disp=vahi&amp;amp;view=att&amp;amp;th=13238c1c8b4bab5b" width="1" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;To ensure a fair competition it is desirable that as many suppliers as possible offers electronic invoicing in the EHF format implementing PEPPOL BIS. Difi will now follow up this matter with the industry to ensure the existence of a broad selection of web based e-invoicing solutions available to the SME’s. In this way a free flow of invoices from SME’s can be assured, both within Norway and cross-border in Europe. “Such updated solutions will indeed be a business opportunity", says Difi’s director general.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the PEPPOL project&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is a Large Scale Pilot project under the European Commission Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP) ICT Policy Support Programme (ICT-PSP).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;Many EU countries use electronic procurement (eProcurement) to make bidding for and satisfying public sector contracts simpler and more efficient. However, these solutions are often implemented as isolated islands within Member States, with limited communication towards other eProcurement communities and cross member state-borders. PEPPOL will enable the connection of existing eProcurement communities, which is essential to allow businesses to bid for public sector contracts anywhere in the EU: an important step towards achieving the Single European Market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peppol.eu/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;www.peppol.eu&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-704654668648380883?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/704654668648380883/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/easy-e-invoicing-for-norways-smes.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/704654668648380883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/704654668648380883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/easy-e-invoicing-for-norways-smes.html' title='Easy e-invoicing for Norway’s SME’s'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-5954529592798149016</id><published>2011-09-05T14:08:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T14:08:24.642+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bulgaria (BG) : Testing integrated eGovernment services platform</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;On 1 February 2010 the Bulgarian Government officially started testing an integrated web platform providing 13&amp;nbsp;municipal and central government services online. The platform was made accessible at http://portal.egov.bg/ (in&amp;nbsp;Bulgarian only for the time being).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In a press release of January 2010, the Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;(MTITC) announced how the concept of integrated eServices would work in practice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The online issuance of certificates proving one's permanent address has been the first service to be tested on the&amp;nbsp;platform. The service is expected to save considerable time to those citizens who want to have their new address&amp;nbsp;featured on their identity card or passport. In the beginning, two regional governments (including the Sofia&amp;nbsp;region) will be offering this service, but the MTITC expects more municipalities to take part. The registration of&amp;nbsp;their permanent address is mandatory for all citizens in Bulgaria.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The only condition for accessing this service is to use a digital signature for obvious security reasons, to prevent&amp;nbsp;malicious persons from changing someone else's address. Obtaining a certificate of permanent address only&amp;nbsp;requires a few minutes (it used to exceed an hour with the previous procedures). Likewise, the service delivery is&amp;nbsp;independent from the Administration's working hours; it is thus cost efficient too.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Family situation, pregnancy or unemployment summaries will be made accessible through the platform with the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;legal value of an official document. They will serve as a basis for verifying the period for which the benefits are&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;calculated. The concerned users will be able to check the status of the benefits/pensions paid via the portal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Among other services planned to be added are the online application for a marital status certificate and property&amp;nbsp;restitution claims (for the Varna city residents at first). Two maritime services, namely the access to excerpts&amp;nbsp;from the ship register and the application for/issuance of certificates for the seagoing ships, will be made&amp;nbsp;available too.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The main advantages of such integrated platform are: a single place to access the public eServices of all levels of&amp;nbsp;government; the data provided by several Public Administrations is featured in a unified manner; the joining of&amp;nbsp;more public authorities on the platform will save citizens the need to submit the same documents several times.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The preparations for the introduction of eGovernment in Bulgaria date back to 2002. The investment of&amp;nbsp;resources and effort in technology and information systems has not lead until now to a genuinely integrated&amp;nbsp;public eServices delivery. Following the handing over to MTITC of the entire responsibility for eGovernment&amp;nbsp;development, the launch of the pilot integrated platform appears as a first time synchronised effort of the&amp;nbsp;various institutions involved in the process.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Another first lies with the fact that the platform's development took place before the eyes of the users who&amp;nbsp;could make recommendations and suggestions on how to improve it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Further information:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Official press release - Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications (in Bulgarian)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Integrated eGovernment services platform (in Bulgarian)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Source : CTM&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-5954529592798149016?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/5954529592798149016/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/bulgaria-bg-testing-integrated.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5954529592798149016'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5954529592798149016'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/bulgaria-bg-testing-integrated.html' title='Bulgaria (BG) : Testing integrated eGovernment services platform'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-2231230980438896759</id><published>2011-09-05T14:06:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T14:19:03.459+02:00</updated><title type='text'>INSC, CPS3, DMP, ...;</title><content type='html'>La loi prévoit depuis 2007 que l'on dote chaque bénéficiaire de l'assurance maladie d'un identifiant national de santé (INS). Elle prévoit aussi qu'elle doit faire l'objet d'un décret qui vienne déterminer la nature et les modalités d'exercice de cet identifiant. Aujourd'hui, ce décret n'est pas intervenu. C'est volontairement que l'Asip santé, en particulier à l'occasion du lancement du DMP (Dossier médical personnel) et des travaux que nous avons mené, nous n'avons pas souhaité qu'il ne soit pas tout de suite pris, d'abord parce que nous avons travaillé sur la détermination de cet identifiant et que nous souhaitions tester son application dans la pratique quotidienne avant d'inscrire dans un texte parlementaire des éléments qu'ils seraient très difficile de modifier par la suite. Dans une première phase, nous avons déterminé un INS dit "calculé", que l'assuré doit posséder pour créer un DMP. Cet INS C est calculé à partir du prénom, de la date de naissance et du numéro de sécurité sociale de l'assuré inscrit dans la carte Vitale. L'INS C est avant tout un élément qui permet de garantir l'unicité du DMP, ce qui est absolument essentiel, car, jusqu'à présent, si des expériences avaient pu travailler à partir d'identifiant de santé, ils étaient resté, soit sectorisés par secteur géographique, soit par domaines médicaux. On sait par ailleurs que ces dispositifs n'étaient pas interopérables techniquement, on risquaient les doublons, voire des collisions qui pouvaient s'avérer dommageables pour la prise en charge médicale d'un patient. La mise au point de l'INS est apparu comme le pré-requis absolu pour la mise en œuvre du DMP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certes, cet identifiant comporte des imperfections qui ont été affichées d'emblée et assumées par l'Asip santé. Il a été, dès sa conception, présentée et acceptée par la CNIL comme c'est un idenfiant construit à partir des données de la carte Vitale, vous savez que pour le régime général de l'assurance maladie et certains régimes associés, le numéro de sécurité sociale inscrit dans la carte Vitale est celui de l'"ouvrant droit" et non pas celui de l'"ayant droit", en particulier pour les enfants? Ce qui fait que pendant toute une première période, les enfants mineurs qui n'ont pas encore de numéro de sécurité sociale dans la carte ne pourront pas posséder de DMP parce que l'on ne pourra pas leur créer d'INS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'Assurance maladie, avec laquelle nous sommes en rapport régulièrement nous a assuré à plusieurs reprises que, au cours de cette année, ces ayant droit pourrait obtenir une carte Vitale avec leur propre numéro de sécurité sociale. Mais, c'est un gros chantier dans la mesure où cette décision concerne quelque quinze millions de personnes, aujourd'hui placées dans la catégorie des ayant droit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'INS C est utilisé à titre provisoire. Nous visons la mise en point d'un INS dit "aléatoire", autrement un identifiant qui ne serait pas lié au numéro de sécurité sociale et qui permettrait de doter chaque bénéficiaire de l'assurance maladie de cet identifiant tout au long de sa vie, mais qui ne permettrait pas de remonter à des éléments d'identification par un tiers. L'INS n'est pas secret, mais il est sécurisé et interopérable entre tous les systèmes d'information du secteur de la santé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une fois l'INS bien défini, on s'attachera à définir ses éléments dans le cadre d'un décret. Pour l'heure, l'ouverture du DMP se fait à l'aide de l'INS C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'INS C est obligatoire lors des échanges de données de santé. Dès lors, qu'une donnée est communiquée par un professionnel de santé, cabinet libéral ou établissement hospitalier, l'identifiant est un pré requis.&lt;br /&gt;La spécification de l'INS a été publiée début 2010, nous avons une procédure de officiel de référentiel des logiciels présentés par les industriels et que nous avons sous-traiter au CNDA (Centre National de Dépôt et d'Agrément), une agence de la CNAM. C'est cet organisme qui certifie la compatibilité aux spécifications de l'INS C. À ce jour, une cinquantaine de logiciels ont été agréés, pour le secteur hospitalier, ou la gestion de cabinet... Autrement dit, l'INS couvre des applications qui entre dans un champ plus large que le DMP. Cette variété de logiciels permettra à tout professionnel qui partagera des données d'utiliser l'INS C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'INS est un identifiant, tout comme un nom ou une carte qui nous identifie vis-à-vis d'un tiers. À ce titre, il n'est pas sécurisé. Chaque détenteur d'un INS gère sa diffusion. Ce n'est pas un authentifiant. En revanche, nous avons bien vérifié avant la remise d'un identifiant que nous avons à faire à la bonne personne. Nous avons une procédure fiable en nous basant sur un NIR (numéro d'inscription au répertoire) certifié, et un calcul à partir des éléments de la carte Vitale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Du côté des professionnels de santé, ils disposent déjà de système d'identification et d'authentification comme la CPS 3 (Carte de Professionnels de Santé troisième génération) et des certificats numériques qui garantissent que celui qui consulte un DMP est clairement identifié. D'autant qu'auparavant, sa qualité de professionnel de santé a été reconnu par les ordres professionnels ou une autorité d'enregistrement pour certaines catégories de professionnels de santé, ainsi que par son inscription au répertoire partagé des professionnels de santé géré par l'Asip santé certifiant cette identité. De plus, l'accès au DMP par un professionnel est conditionné par une matrice d'habilitation qui définit le type de données auxquelles il a accès en fonction de sa qualité, médecin, infirmier... Ce qui interdit l'accès à certains, comme les médecins de compagnies d'assurance, ou le médecin du travail.&lt;br /&gt;Du côté patient, l'accès à son DMP par l'Internet sera ouvert fin avril. Cet accès sera contrôlé par l'utilisation de données secrètes qui lui seront transmises lors de la création de son DMP. Il s'agit d'un identifiant et un mot de passe à usage unique que le parent devra changer dès la première connexion. Ensuite, à chaque demande de consultation, un OTP (One time password) lui sera communiqué par messagerie électronique ou par SMS selon le choix du patient indiqué lors de sa première connexion à son DMP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La CNIe peut être un outil d'authentification de très haut niveau du patient, à condition d'être équipé d'un dispositif de lecture de la puce. Ce que l'on trouve aujourd'hui pour quelques euros. Deuxième avantage, la carte nationale pourrait aussi être une identité de référence et l'on pourrait dériver un identifiant sectoriel à partir de la CNIe. Tout est imaginable, mais la décision est avant tout politique, à l'instar de ce que les Belges ont réalisé.&lt;br /&gt;On peut réaliser beaucoup d'applications avec la CNIe, c'est aussi un outil de signature très intéressant parce qu'on pourrait donner aux patients la possibilité de signer des documents qu'ils déposeraient dans leur DMP, ou signer des conventions, des contrats... Tout est imaginable. c'est le couteau suisse de l'identité électronique dans la mesure où elle permet l'identification sûre, l'authentification et la signature électronique. Mais est-ce que la CNIe sera lancée&amp;nbsp;?&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-2231230980438896759?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/2231230980438896759/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/insc-cps3-dmp.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2231230980438896759'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2231230980438896759'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/09/insc-cps3-dmp.html' title='INSC, CPS3, DMP, ...;'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-7353862096186174861</id><published>2011-08-23T17:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-21T15:56:52.004+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Echec de la surveillance à distance pour réduire les exacerbations d'asthme</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="story_date"&gt;La surveillance quotidienne à distance de la fonction pulmonaire d'enfants atteints d'asthme sévère mal contrôlé n'a pas permis de réduire la fréquence des exacerbations, dans une expérience française.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="story_corps"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certains patients présentent un asthme sévère mal contrôlé et de fréquentes exacerbations malgré un traitement optimal, ce qui entraîne un recours important au système de santé, en particulier des hospitalisations, rappellent le Dr Antoine Deschildre du CHRU de Lille et ses collègues dans un article à paraître dans l'European Respiratory Journal (ERJ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Des études pilotes ont montré la faisabilité d'utiliser un spiromètre et de transférer les données enregistrées par téléphone ou internet aux équipes soignantes, leur permettant de savoir quand intervenir rapidement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les chercheurs ont donc voulu savoir si le recours à la télémédecine permettait de réduire la fréquence des exacerbations sévères chez des enfants avec un asthme sévère mal contrôlés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ils ont inclus 50 enfants de 6 à 16 ans, atteints d'asthme allergique sévère, puis les ont randomisés en deux groupes, l'un avec une prise en charge classique et l'autre avec un traitement suivi par télémédecine, pour une année.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tous les patients recevaient un traitement optimal de fond et disposaient des traitements de secours. Des visites de suivi ont été prévues tous les quatre mois. Les patients suivis à distance ont reçu en plus des instructions pour utiliser correctement un spiromètre; les mesures étaient transmises par modem à l'hôpital pour analyse par un médecin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si un déclin du volume expiratoire maximal en une seconde (VEMS) était détecté avec une valeur inférieure de 80% de la valeur prédite, le médecin devait contacter les parents de l'enfant pour leur indiquer comment ajuster le traitement; si le VEMS tombait entre 60% et 80% de la valeur prédite, le médecin généraliste était appelé et si le VEMS était inférieur à 60%, le médecin devait évaluer la nécessité d'administrer un corticoïde oral rapidement et appeler le généraliste ou le pédiatre de l'enfant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'analyse des données pour 44 enfants indique que le nombre médian d'exacerbations sévères par patient était de deux parmi les enfants surveillés à distance et de trois dans le groupe contrôle, soit une différence non significative au plan statistique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il n'y avait pas non plus de différence significative entre les deux groupes pour le nombre de jours de traitement par corticothérapie systémique, en médiane de 10 jours pour les enfants suivis à distance et de 12 jours pour les autres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le nombre des visites non prévues chez le médecin et des hospitalisations était également similaires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfin, aucune différence significative n'a été observée dans la posologie de la corticothérapie inhalée, dans la fonction pulmonaire ou la qualité de vie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette étude, financée par un programme hospitalier de recherche clinique (PHRC), n'a pas permis de démontrer l'intérêt de la télémédecine pour réduire les exacerbations sévères et le

type='text'>La télémédecine pourrait améliorer l'usage de la spirométrie chez les généralistes</title><content type='html'>Les médecins généralistes pourraient davantage évaluer la fonction respiratoire en routine en utilisant internet pour réaliser les examens de spirométrie avec un service de pneumologie hospitalier, suggère une étude espagnole publiée dans European Respiratory Journal (ERJ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La spirométrie est un examen essentiel au diagnostic et à la prise en charge de maladies respiratoires fréquentes comme l'asthme et la bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive (BPCO), rappellent Juan Masa de l'Instituto de Salud Carlos III à Madrid et ses collègues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cet examen a donc été encouragé en médecine générale pour augmenter le dépistage de ces maladies mais cette stratégie est limitée car son usage reste peu fréquent et mal maîtrisé techniquement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Des spiromètres portables ont été proposés, moins coûteux et plus faciles à manipuler, mais ils semblent présenter de moins bonnes performances techniques que les appareils de référence utilisés dans les services hospitaliers de pneumologie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les chercheurs ont donc voulu savoir s'il était possible de recourir aux nouvelles technologies de l'information et de la communication pour réaliser des examens de spirométrie à distance par téléconférence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ils ont conduit une étude randomisée, contrôlée, croisée auprès de 261 patients consultant leur médecins généraliste pour un motif respiratoire (suspicion d'asthme, de BPCO, d'apnée de sommeil ou de dyspnée) entre une spirométrie classique et l'examen en ligne, les deux tests étant réalisés à 20 minutes d'écart par deux techniciens d'expérience équivalente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour la procédure à distance, le patient était invité à se rendre seul dans une salle où étaient installés le spiromètre et un ordinateur avec une webcam connecté à internet, les instructions étant données par le technicien par téléconférence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'analyse des données, que ce soit en intention de traiter ou per protocole, montre que les résultats obtenus sont numériquement meilleurs pour la spirométrie classique mais statistiquement très proches entre les deux procédures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le taux de patients répondant aux critères de qualité (acceptabilité, répétabilité) était de 85,5% avec la spirométrie classique et de 78,6% avec la téléspirométrie. Cette différence n'est pas cruciale car les variations entre laboratoires de mesure et même entre techniciens dépassent ce chiffre, font observer les chercheurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ils estiment également que même si l'examen par téléconférence demande plus de manoeuvres et de temps (5,5 gestes et 7,9 min en moyenne vs respectivement 5 et 7,3), la différence est acceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette première étude publiée sur ce thème suggère qu'il est possible de réaliser une spirométrie de qualité par téléconférence et que cette approche pourrait être utilisée dans les cabinets de médecine générale ainsi que dans les hôpitaux sans service de pneumologie, concluent les chercheurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cependant, le rôle précis de la téléspirométrie et son rapport coût-efficacité restent à déterminer, notent-ils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(European Respiratory Journal, vol.37, n°4, pp911-18)&lt;br /&gt;via :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="view-source:http://www.apmnews.com/story.php?numero=L212605"&gt;view-source:http://www.apmnews.com/story.php?numero=L212605&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-7322017142088527508?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/7322017142088527508/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/08/la-telemedecine-pourrait-ameliorer.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7322017142088527508'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7322017142088527508'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/08/la-telemedecine-pourrait-ameliorer.html' title='La télémédecine pourrait améliorer l&apos;usage de la spirométrie chez les généralistes'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-2106379355999347986</id><published>2011-08-17T09:54:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-17T09:54:16.212+02:00</updated><title type='text'>New nanostructured glass for imaging and recording</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="post_body" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div id="pr_box" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div id="pr_text" style="color: #666666; display: block; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 30px; margin-top: 20px; opacity: 1; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Optical vortex converter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;University of Southampton researchers have developed new nano-structured glass, turning it into new type of computer memory, which has applications in optical manipulation and will significantly reduce the cost of medical imaging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a paper entitled Radially polarized optical vortex converter created by femtosecond laser nanostructuring of glass published in Applied Physics Letters, a team led by Professor Peter Kazansky at the University's Optoelectronics Research Centre, describe how they have used nano-structures to develop new monolithic glass space-variant polarisation converters. These millimetre-sized devices change the way light travels through glass, generating 'whirlpools' of light that can then be read in much the same way as data in optical fibres. This enables more precise laser material processing, optical manipulation of atom-sized objects, ultra-high resolution imaging and potentially, table-top particle accelerators. Information can be written, wiped and rewritten into the molecular structure of the glass using a laser.&lt;br /&gt;According to the researchers, at sufficient intensities, ultra-short laser pulses can be used to imprint tiny dots (like 3D pixels) called 'voxels' in glass. Their previous research showed that lasers with fixed polarisation produce voxels consisting of a periodic arrangement of ultra-thin (tens of nanometers) planes. By passing polarised light through such a voxel imprinted in silica glass, the researchers observed that it travels differently depending on the polarisation orientation of the light. This 'form birefringence' phenomenon is the basis of their new polarisation converter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The advantage of this approach over existing methods for microscopy is that it is 20 times cheaper and it is compact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Before this we had to use a spatial light modulator based on liquid crystal which cost about £20,000," said Professor Peter Kazansky. "Instead we have just put a tiny device into the optical beam and we get the same result."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since publication of the paper in May this year, the researchers have developed this technology further and adapted it for a five-dimensional optical recording.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have improved the quality and fabrication time and we have developed this five-dimensional memory, which means that data can be stored on the glass and last forever," said Martynas Beresna, lead researcher for the project. "No one has ever done this before."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The researchers are working with the Lithuanian company Altechna to introduce this technology to the market. This work was done in the framework of EU project Femtoprint.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="clear" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post_footer" style="display: inline; float: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; width: 650px;"&gt;&lt;div class="post_footer_left" style="display: inline; float: left; height: 36px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 8px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;table class="spanks" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;td style="height: 36px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" valign="bottom"&gt;&lt;div class="post_via " style="float: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="clear" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post_source img_label" style="float: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: -4px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="source" class="img_label quimby_search_image" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/post_label_source.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: 5px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="caption" style="color: #111111; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20px; margin-right: 30px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.southampton.ac.uk/mediacentre/news/2011/aug/11_80.shtml" style="color: #00bdf6; font-family: georgia, serif !important; font-size: 13px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;University of Southampton&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-2106379355999347986?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/2106379355999347986/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-nanostructured-glass-for-imaging.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2106379355999347986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2106379355999347986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-nanostructured-glass-for-imaging.html' title='New nanostructured glass for imaging and recording'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-1476409048840881293</id><published>2011-08-11T10:59:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-11T10:59:59.087+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Therapeutics</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;Most bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics such as penicillin, discovered decades ago.

Similarly, in the right set of four photos, dengue hemorrhagic fever virus kills untreated monkey cells (lower left), whereas DRACO has no toxicity in uninfected cells (upper right) and cures an infected cell population (lower right). |&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/images/antiviral.jpg" style="color: #b1180a; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;Enlarge image&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0022572" style="color: #b1180a; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;a paper published&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;July 27 in the journal&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;PLoS One&lt;/i&gt;, the researchers tested their drug against 15 viruses, and found it was effective against all of them — including rhinoviruses that cause the common cold, H1N1 influenza, a stomach virus, a polio virus, dengue fever and several other types of hemorrhagic fever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The drug works by targeting a type of RNA produced only in cells that have been infected by viruses. “In theory, it should work against all viruses,” says Todd Rider, a senior staff scientist in Lincoln Laboratory’s Chemical, Biological, and Nanoscale Technologies Group who invented the new technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because the technology is so broad-spectrum, it could potentially also be used to combat outbreaks of new viruses, such as the 2003 SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) outbreak, Rider says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other members of the research team are Lincoln Lab staff members Scott Wick, Christina Zook, Tara Boettcher, Jennifer Pancoast and Benjamin Zusman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Few antivirals available&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rider had the idea to try developing a broad-spectrum antiviral therapy about 11 years ago, after inventing CANARY (Cellular Analysis and Notification of Antigen Risks and Yields),&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/canary-0303.html" style="color: #b1180a; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;a biosensor that can rapidly identify pathogens&lt;/a&gt;. “If you detect a pathogenic bacterium in the environment, there is probably an antibiotic that could be used to treat someone exposed to that, but I realized there are very few treatments out there for viruses,” he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a handful of drugs that combat specific viruses, such as the protease inhibitors used to control HIV infection, but these are relatively few in number and susceptible to viral resistance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rider drew inspiration for his therapeutic agents, dubbed DRACOs (Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizers), from living cells’ own defense systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When viruses infect a cell, they take over its cellular machinery for their own purpose — that is, creating more copies of the virus. During this process, the viruses create long strings of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is not found in human or other animal cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As part of their natural defenses against viral infection, human cells have proteins that latch onto dsRNA, setting off a cascade of reactions that prevents the virus from replicating itself. However, many viruses can outsmart that system by blocking one of the steps further down the cascade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rider had the idea to combine a dsRNA-binding protein with another protein that induces cells to undergo apoptosis (programmed cell suicide) — launched, for example, when a cell determines it is en route to becoming cancerous. Therefore, when one end of the DRACO binds to dsRNA, it signals the other end of the DRACO to initiate cell suicide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combining those two elements is a “great idea” and a very novel approach, says Karla Kirkegaard, professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University. “Viruses are pretty good at developing resistance to things we try against them, but in this case, it’s hard to think of a simple pathway to drug resistance,” she says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each DRACO also includes a “delivery tag,” taken from naturally occurring proteins, that allows it to cross cell membranes and enter any human or animal cell. However, if no dsRNA is present, DRACO leaves the cell unharmed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the tests reported in this study were done in human and animal cells cultured in the lab, but the researchers also tested DRACO in mice infected with the H1N1 influenza virus. When mice were treated with DRACO, they were completely cured of the infection. The tests also showed that DRACO itself is not toxic to mice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The researchers are now testing DRACO against more viruses in mice and beginning to get promising results. Rider says he hopes to license the technology for trials in larger animals and for eventual human clinical trials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This work is funded by a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the New England Regional Center of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases, with previous funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and Director of Defense Research &amp;amp;

Therefore, understanding the unique UWB channel propagation characteristics around the human body is critical for a successful wireless system, especially for insuring the reliability of important vital sign data. Previous work has focused only on on-body channels, where both TX and RX antennas are located on the human body. In this paper, a 3–5 GHz UWB channel is measured and analyzed for human body wireless communications. Beyond the conventional on-body channel model, line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) channel models are obtained using a TX antenna placed at various locations of the human body while the RX antenna is placed away from the human body. Measurement results indicate that the human body does not significantly degrade the impedance of a monopole omnidirectional antenna. The measured path loss and multipath analysis suggest that a LOS UWB channel is excellent for low-power, high-data-rate transmission, while NLOS and on-body channels need to be reconfigured to operate at a lower data rate due to high path loss.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="end-abs" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4 id="sec1" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 24px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;1.

Furthermore, low power consumption results in a smaller battery size, significantly reducing sensor cost and form factor. Consider a 3–5 GHz impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) transceiver that we developed, shown in Figure&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2011/703239/fig2/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #418b34; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;. An IR-UWB transceiver does not require DAC, PLL, or PA. Here the transmitter consists of only a pulse generator, an output buffer, and a power control block [&lt;a href="http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2011/703239/#B8" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #418b34; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;8&lt;/a&gt;]. A configurable data rate can be easily realized by changing the pulse repetition rate. The duty-cycled characteristic of the transmitted signals is employed to turn off the output buffer during pulses intervals, further lowering the power consumption. Measurement results show that the power consumption of the transmitter is only 400 &lt;i&gt;μ&lt;/i&gt;W and 4.44 mW with data rates of 1 Mbps and 100 Mbps, respectively. Meanwhile, the receiver employs a noncoherent architecture, consuming 13.2 mW with a data rate of 100 Mbps.

Moreover, body area networks exhibit unique radio propagation characteristics combining line of sight, creeping wave, multiple reflections from surrounding environments, and diffraction around the human body. Ever since the FCC released unlicensed spectrum for UWB, several previous works on UWB channel modeling have been published. Molisch et al. [&lt;a href="http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2011/703239/#B9" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #418b34; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;9&lt;/a&gt;] developed an IEEE 802.15.4a channel model for various low-rate UWB applications, where the body area network channel model is analyzed using a finite difference time-domain (FDTD) simulator with antennas moving around the human body.

Unfortunately, these numerical approaches neglect considerations of the surrounding environments, which are the main sources of multipath.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Furthermore, the previous investigations only considered data transmission with both TX and RX antennas on the human body, which is not the dominant usage model. In this paper, we present a complete UWB channel model that not only considers on-body UWB propagation but also extends to include LOS and NLOS channel measurement, using a TX antenna placed on the human body and a separate RX antenna located externally.

The lab resembles an ordinary room with concrete walls, ceiling, desks, and chairs. When the door is closed, the lab is protected from EM interferences by metallic panels behind the walls and ceiling. This enables accurate estimation of local multipath propagation, with sufficient interference rejection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Channel measurements can be conducted in the time domain based on impulse transmission or the frequency domain using a frequency sweep technique [&lt;a href="http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2011/703239/#B11" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #418b34; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;11&lt;/a&gt;].

In the latter setup, a vector network analyzer (VNA) is employed that captures the frequency response of the UWB channel as a S21 parameter, followed by generation of a channel impulse response (CIR) in the time domain, obtained by performing an inverse Fourier transform (IFT). In this work, a VNA-based measurement setup is employed. The VNA (HP 8520ES) is used to capture 1061 data points between 3 and 5 GHz, providing a frequency-domain resolution of 1.25 MHz.

As observed, the antenna shows excellent impedance matching on and off the human body with the return loss (S11) below −10 dB across the entire 3–5 GHz. Note that the antenna return loss near the human body is different from free space, as the antenna characteristic impedance is changed by the high dielectric permittivity and conductivity of the human body tissues [&lt;a href="http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/2011/703239/#B13" style="border-bottom-style: none;

L'une dite basale visait à équilibrer les glycémies à jeun ou préprandiales, l'autre dite prandiale s'intéressait aux glycémies postprandiales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'objectif était de vérifier la supériorité de la stratégie prandiale en termes de prévention cardiovasculaire. Les glycémies postprandiales sont en effet considérées comme un facteur de risque cardiovasculaire indépendant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'essai avait été interrompu faute de différences entre les stratégies. Plusieurs biais et défauts avaient été avancés pour expliquer cet échec.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans cette analyse post-hoc soutenue par Lilly, le Dr Itamar Raz de l'hôpital Hadassah de Jérusalem et ses collègues ont mis en évidence un sous-groupe (les plus de 65,7 ans) au sein duquel une différence en termes de délai de survenue du premier événement cardiovasculaire et de proportion de patients touchés apparaît entre les deux stratégies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainsi, dans ce sous-groupe, les courbes représentant la proportion de patients indemnes de tout événement se séparent après une quarantaine de jours de suivi, en défaveur du groupe "stratégie basale".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La proportion de patients présentant un premier événement post-infarctus atteint 40,5% contre 29,6% à la fin de l'essai (entre 1.200 et 1.400 jours de suivi), malgré un taux d'hémoglobine glyquée comparable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comme attendu, le groupe "stratégie basale" présentait des glycémies préprandiales le matin significativement plus basses et un taux plus élevé d'hypoglycémie nocturne tandis que le groupe "stratégie prandiale" présentait, lui, des glycémies postprandiales à 2 heures significativement inférieures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le taux d'hypoglycémie totale et les quantités d'insuline étaient quant à eux identiques entre les groupes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Les patients âgés pourraient être sensibles à des mécanismes glycémiques et non glycémiques associés à la période postprandiale qui augmenteraient le risque cardiovasculaire", commentent les auteurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A l'inverse, "la glycémie à jeun plus faible et le taux d'hypoglycémie nocturne significativement plus élevé dans le groupe basal comparé au groupe prandial peuvent avoir contribué à la différence de pronostic cardiovasculaire", précisent-ils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Dr Raz et ses collègues rappellent que la nature post-hoc de cette analyse ne permet que de générer des hypothèses et soulignent les différentes limites de cet essai (période de suivi insuffisante, nombreux patients perdus de vue, maladie cardiovasculaire préexistante avancée...).

Le travail GE avec VGR témoigne de  l'engagement de la       société envers «&amp;nbsp;l'imagination-santé&amp;nbsp;», qui  développe des innovations de       santé axées sur la réduction des  coûts, ainsi que l'amélioration de       l'accès et de la qualité  partout dans le monde.    &lt;br /&gt;Grâce à la plateforme bidirectionnelle &lt;a href="http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ehealth.gehealthcare.com%2FProducts&amp;amp;esheet=6716550&amp;amp;lan=fr-FR&amp;amp;anchor=eHealth+Image+Exchange&amp;amp;index=2&amp;amp;md5=e8d6c337e6c70d8da80b3a1d9ff12dc0"&gt;eHealth       Image Exchange&lt;/a&gt;,  GE intègre désormais les normes de l'industrie dans        l'architecture de VGR. Les services de registre et dépôt de données        (DRR) de GE utilisent le profil standard XDS développé par  l'initiative &lt;a href="http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ihe.net%2F&amp;amp;esheet=6716550&amp;amp;lan=fr-FR&amp;amp;anchor=Integrating+the+Healthcare+Enterprise&amp;amp;index=3&amp;amp;md5=4f99993dcf60917c35932b8f38aefba1"&gt;Integrating       the Healthcare Enterprise&lt;/a&gt;  (Intégration des entreprises de soins de       santé, IHE). Les membres  autorisés d'équipes soignantes peuvent accéder       aux données des  patients stockées dans le dépôt par l'intermédiaire de       n'importe  quel système de distributeur prenant en charge le standard       XDS, ce  qui facilite l'accès pour les médecins et renforce la        collaboration clinique.    &lt;br /&gt;«&amp;nbsp;L'une des raisons pour  lesquelles nous avons choisi GE pour nous       développer est la  plateforme flexible et basée sur les normes eHealth       Image  Exchange.

L'ILM permet à  VGR de mettre en place un       processus d'archivage standard à travers  les 17 hôpitaux, en lui       permettant ainsi de faire un usage plus  rentable du «&amp;nbsp;stockage en       nuage&amp;nbsp;» du service. Cette gestion  centralisée assure un contrôle en une       étape de variables telles  que la période de stockage, le ratio de       compression des images et  la gestion du stockage à plusieurs niveaux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More : http://bourse.lci.fr/bourse-en-ligne.hts?urlAction=bourse-en-ligne.hts&amp;amp;idnews=BNW110510_00006263&amp;amp;numligne=0&amp;amp;date=110510&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-5903626261408301718?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/5903626261408301718/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/05/en-suede-la-region-vastra-gotaland.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5903626261408301718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5903626261408301718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/05/en-suede-la-region-vastra-gotaland.html' title='En Suède, la Région Västra Götaland améliore la connexion de la communauté grâce à GE Healthcare'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-258785412739388029</id><published>2011-05-11T12:10:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-11T12:10:11.307+02:00</updated><title type='text'>SSI dans les établissements de santé</title><content type='html'>Une meilleure fiabilité du "panel technologique", dont les logiciels  sont une composante essentielle, permettra aux établissements de santé  de se focaliser sur la gestion des risques informatiques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la matière, la menace d’une cyber-attaque ne concerne que quelques  sites aux compétences bien spécifiques, tandis que l’inattention, voire  la malveillance, sont des périls bien plus fréquents.

À l'occasion de l'eHealth Week 2011, le rassemblement annuel des communautés européennes de l'e-santé, les intervenants mettront l'accent sur la façon dont les solutions informatiques peuvent aider les systèmes de santé du Continent Européen à relever les défis qui l'attendent.  &amp;lt;&amp;lt; Les systèmes de santé actuels ne sont tout simplement pas viables face aux changements démographiques et à la vague attendue de maladies chroniques &amp;gt;&amp;gt;, affirme &lt;span class="xn-person"&gt;Jeremy Bonfini&lt;/span&gt; , Vice-Président Exécutif des Services Mondiaux de HIMSS. &amp;lt;&amp;lt; Nous avons besoin de systèmes informatiques qui permettent aux professionnels de santé de consacrer plus de temps à soigner les patients, et moins de temps à s'occuper de la paperasserie et à courir derrière une bureaucratie lente et inefficace. &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus de 30 % des Européens seront âgés de 65 ans ou plus en 2025. Les maladies chroniques telles que le diabète vont sans doute doubler, voire même tripler dans les 20 prochaines années, ce qui se traduira à terme par une pénurie de spécialistes et de personnel soignant. Aujourd'hui, déjà, on estime que les coûts de personnel représentent 50 à 70 % des dépenses de santé. D'après les données du gouvernement espagnol, les systèmes de santé actuels obligent les professionnels à consacrer de 30 à 50 % de leur temps à des tâches administratives plutôt qu'à soigner les patients.&lt;br /&gt;Les dépenses de santé augmentent plus vite que l'économie&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui, la &lt;span class="xn-location"&gt;France&lt;/span&gt; consacre 11 % de son PIB à la santé, l'Allemagne 10,6% et la Belgique 10,3%. Pour la plupart des pays européens, la santé représente le plus gros pourcentage de l'augmentation du budget en termes de dépenses.&lt;br /&gt;Selon l'Organisation de Coopération et de Développement Économique (OCDE), l'état actuel des systèmes de santé européens, qui font face à des défis multiples, va entraîner une augmentation des dépenses supérieure à la croissance économique. D'après les analystes de l'OECD, de nombreux gouvernements seront amenés à faire des choix difficiles pour assurer la survie de leurs systèmes de santé : freiner la hausse des dépenses publiques de santé, réduire les dépenses dans d'autres domaines, ou encore augmenter les impôts.&lt;br /&gt;Aux Pays-Bas, les assureurs de santé et le Bureau d'Analyse des Politiques Publiques ont annoncé que la prime d'assurance de santé annuelle augmenterait de &lt;span class="xn-money"&gt;300 euros&lt;/span&gt; par personne sur les quatre prochaines années, afin d'amortir la hausse des coûts de santé. En effet, ceux-ci devraient augmenter de 4 % par an, tandis que l'économie ne devrait croître que de 1,25 % par an.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt; Nos systèmes de santé s'effondreront à coup sûr si nous ne faisons pas des changements radicaux &amp;gt;&amp;gt;, avertit &lt;span class="xn-person"&gt;Neelie Kroes&lt;/span&gt; , Vice-Présidente de la Commission européenne en charge de la stratégie numérique. &amp;lt;&amp;lt; En ces temps d'austérité budgétaire et de déficits croissants, il est souvent plus efficace de dépenser intelligemment que de réduire les coûts &amp;gt;&amp;gt;, poursuit-elle.&lt;br /&gt;L'élite de l'e-santé européenne montre la voie à suivre&lt;br /&gt;D'après une étude de cas menée par le Groupe Hospitalier Asklepios en Allemagne, les coûts annuels par patient peuvent être réduits de 36,7 % par l'utilisation de solutions d'e-santé. Le responsable des services informatiques d'Asklepios, Uwe Pöttgen, sera l'un des principaux intervenants à l'eHealth Week 2011 à &lt;span class="xn-location"&gt;Budapest&lt;/span&gt; (10-12 mai 2011). Le professeur français &lt;span class="xn-person"&gt;Eric Lepage&lt;/span&gt; qui dirige l'évolution du système d'information patient pour l'Assistance publique - Hôpitaux de &lt;span class="xn-location"&gt;Paris&lt;/span&gt; ( &lt;a href="http://www.aphp.fr/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.aphp.fr/&lt;/a&gt; ) (AP-HP), fera part de son expérience de la modernisation du système d'information hospitalier, qui a concerné 72 000 professionnels de la santé dans 37 hôpitaux parisiens.&lt;br /&gt;L'eHealth Week s'est imposée comme la seule véritable plateforme pan-européenne dans le domaine de l'e-santé. Ainsi, l'Allemagne sera représentée par dix intervenants, la Suède par sept, le Danemark et le Royaume-Uni par six chacun. Des délégations de pays issus de l'ensemble des États Membres de l'UE enverront des responsables politiques à la Conférence Ministérielle sur l'e-santé, qui, pour la première fois, ouvre ses portes à tous les conférenciers de l'eHealth Week. Des intervenants provenant des quatre coins de l' &lt;span class="xn-location"&gt;Europe&lt;/span&gt; ont d'ores et déjà confirmé leur participation, avec les pays scandinaves en tête.&amp;nbsp; Les inscriptions sont ouvertes sur &lt;a href="http://www.ehealthweek.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.ehealthweek.org&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : http://www.gamepro.fr/2011/04/12/communique/l-ehealth-week-2011-technologies-information-remede-couts-sante-croissants-europe/689733/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-7884440171143994718?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/7884440171143994718/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/05/lehealth-week-2011-les-technologies-de.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7884440171143994718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7884440171143994718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/05/lehealth-week-2011-les-technologies-de.html' title='L&apos;eHealth Week 2011 : Les technologies de l&apos;information, remède aux coûts de santé croissants en Europe'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-7899427783309749016</id><published>2011-05-02T18:02:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-01T09:55:16.916+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chrome'/><title type='text'>HTML5 DICOM viewer</title><content type='html'>&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Infomedica, provider of integrated RIS/PACS solutions in Croatia and  region, is anouncing first HTML5 DICOM viewer beta release. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;HTML5 DICOM concept&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt; Infomedica, provider of integrated RIS/PACS solutions in Croatia and  region, is anouncing concept of plugin-less DICOM web viewer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;1.&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Introduction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing" style="text-indent: 18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;World of RIS and  PACS has, already for more then 10 years, been enriched with web browser access  to RIS data and PACS images. After all, RIS/PACS systems are still advertised  as „web access from anywhere“ systems. While web access to RIS data was not an  issuse, access to PACS images was always playground of different technological  approaches and interesting ideas. The reason was 16 bit-ness of DICOM images  from PACS archives. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing" style="text-indent: 18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Namely, web browser  are not capable of displaying 16 bit gray images (65536 gray values), but only  8 bit gray images (256 gray values), because of graphical hardware limitations.  Therefore, well known transformation of 16 bit gray images to 8 bit gray images  had to be taken into account – windowing/leveling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing" style="text-indent: 18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Vendors have taken  advantage of different technologies (Java from Sun, ActiveX and Silverlight  from Microsoft, Flash from Adobe) to achieve PACS workstation usability in web  browser. We call such concepts „plugin concepts“, because web browser has to  download DICOM viewer plugin and run it inside web browser.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing" style="text-indent: 18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;We want to propose  real „plugin-less“ concept where image rendering and windowing/levelling is  done directly in browser without downloading anything except HTML code. We  achieved that by using advanced features of the new HTML5 standard. Idea is to  have access to PACS anywhere, anytime from web browser. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;2.&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;HTML5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;HTML stands for „HyperText Markup Language“  which is used to display content on web pages. It is devloped by World Wide Web  Consortium (W3C). HTML is currently in 4.01 version. Next release of HTML  standard will be HTML5 standard. HTML5 brings some interesting new features  which developers round the world have already recognized as a new platform for  software development. Among different new features we will consider here only  those that we have used to build „plugin less“ DICOM web viewer:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR" style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Canvas element – the new tag in HTML5 standard  which is used for immediate 2D drawing with related Canvas 2D API&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR" style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Web workers – new API which provide means to run  scripts in web browser background thread (multithreading Javascript)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR" style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Offline storage and Web SQL – new API for storing  data in web browser for offline use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR" style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Drag and drop functionality for intuitive user  interface&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;3.&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Concept&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;During february 2010 we have sucesfully  displayed first DICOM image in browser. In the next few days we have already  had full windowing/levelling. We continued with development of new software and  here we can present concept. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img id="Picture 1" src="http://www.infomedica.hr/html5/index_files/shema.png" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Image  1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt; Concept of DICOM web viewer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Server side&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;First of all, we need PACS archive which  supports C-GET or C-MOVE of DICOM images. Second item on server side is web  server application, which is basically WADO (Web Access to DICOM Persistent  Objects) server, but slightly customized for this demonstration. WADO server  loads images from PACS and sends them over the network to web browser. It is  important to notice that WADO server sends 16 bit DICOM data over the network. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Web browser (client side)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;When user logs to web PACS interface and  selects image serie for loading, web application starts loading images from  PACS and transferring them to browser. One of the first thing we wanted to  achieve after windowing/levelling is asynchrounous image loading. Usually, if  one wants to perform parallel &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;activites&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt; in web browser, one must use unhandy Javascript timers. HTML5, like we  already noticed, brought to us „Web workers“, therefore user can work on images  while they are loading from network. DICOM module is javascript engine that  transforms 16 bit DICOM image to 8 bit – performing window/level. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Testing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;System was tested in major browsers: Firefox,  Chrome, Opera, Safari and Safari mobile for iPad, and on wide range of computer  configurations. We still wait for official release of Internet Explorer 9.  Window/level transformation performance was measured. One W/L change was measured in miliseconds. After few optimization  techniques we get next results:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&lt;img id="Chart 2" src="http://www.infomedica.hr/html5/index_files/wl.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Image  2. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Window/level performance in different browsers (miliseconds)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;As we can see Google Chrome is definitely  fastest browser, but all other browsers provide fluent interaction as well. Our  testing computer was Windows XP Intel Pentium Core2Duo 2.13 GHz with 2GB RAM  for Chrome, Firefox and Opera. For Safari we used Mac Leopard 10.5.8 Mac Pro 2  x 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon with 2GB RAM. Just for fun we tested system on  old HP laptop with Windows XP and Intel Pentium M 1.60 GHz and 512 RAM – we got  30ms for W/L on Chrome and system worked really fluent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;4.&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Demonstrations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;In this section we will show proof-of-concept  videos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox video:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;             &lt;/center&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;object height="390" width="640"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/epfbKC-PXzU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;version=3"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/epfbKC-PXzU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;5.&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Future&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;First release&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;First HTML5 viewer release is scheduled for  the end of 2010 or sooner. We expect to have both integrated and stand-alone  viewer. We would like to bring stable and fast web viewer, which runs seamesly on  all browsers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Tablets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Our focus is on tablet market too. We see  tablets as important devices in healtcare, especially in radiology field. There,  we see potential for our HTML5 DICOM viewer. At this moment we have adopted   our HTML5 viewer for Webkit based browsers (Android and iPad tablets).   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Offline storage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;Already mentioned new feature of HTML5 standard will help developers  to build web applications that hold downloaded data even when users are offline. We will include   this feature in our concept, so that viewer holds session data (images) for the offline use. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span lang="HR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href="http://www.infomedica.hr/html5/"&gt;http://www.infomedica.hr/html5/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-7899427783309749016?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/7899427783309749016/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/05/html5-dicom-viewer.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7899427783309749016'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7899427783309749016'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/05/html5-dicom-viewer.html' title='HTML5 DICOM viewer'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-2365221229594996510</id><published>2011-04-26T22:29:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-26T22:29:26.902+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ersatz de DMP : faut-il s'en émouvoir?</title><content type='html'>Plusieurs sociétés privées proposent des systèmes gratuits qui permettent de gérer soi-même ses données médicales sur Internet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Etre alerté automatiquement de ses rendez-vous médicaux ou de la nécessité d'un rappel vaccinal.

En quelques mois, les principaux systèmes, Sanoia et Dossier Santé Personnel , tous les deux gratuits, ont déjà séduit plusieurs dizaines de milliers de personnes dans l'Hexagone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comparables sur le principe, ils se distinguent par leurs fonctionnalités et leur système d'anonymisation et de confidentialité. Conçu il y a des années par les fondateurs du site Docteurclic, le Dossier Santé Personnel (DSP) a été largement enrichi depuis un an. Il intègre désormais un volet prévention vis-à-vis des maladies cardio-vasculaires, du diabète et de certains cancers. Pour chacune de ces pathologies, des conseils personnalisés sont délivrés en fonction des antécédents familiaux et personnels, du mode de vie… Le système permet aussi de stocker des documents : radios, scanners, ordonnances ou encore comptes rendus d'examens. Et d'être averti par courriel d'un rendez-vous médical ou d'une actualité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«Récemment, nous avons lancé une alerte aux personnes nées après 1975 sur le sujet de la rougeole, explique Hervé Huas, l'un des fondateurs de Docteurclic. Nous sommes aussi reliés avec l'Afssaps (Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des produits de santé NDLR), ce qui permet d'envoyer un message en temps réel en cas de problème avec un médicament.» La société Santé Assistance, propriétaire du DSP, a déjà noué quelques partenariats, notamment avec l'Institut de formation et de recherche en médecine de montagne (Ifremmont), qui propose une assistance médicale aux individus partant en expédition dans des conditions extrêmes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La fiche santé Sanoia, mise au point par une association de médecins et d'ingénieurs, a elle été conçue initialement surtout dans une perspective d'utilisation en urgence et pour les maladies chroniques. Elle est ainsi expérimentée en cancérologie pédiatrique à l'Institut Gustave-Roussy (Villejuif). «C'est un service au patient pour un suivi individualisé après son cancer», précise Hervé Servy, fondateur de sanoia.com, qui cite aussi des collaborations avec des hôpitaux de Marseille, des associations de malades…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'association est financée par des structures de valorisation de la recherche. «Plusieurs études ont été menées pour évaluer l'intérêt de cet outil pour les malades et les médecins, dans des pathologies chroniques comme la polyarthrite rhumatoïde ainsi que dans des maladies rares où les patients sont confrontés de plein fouet à la méconnaissance de leur maladie», explique Hervé Servy. Ces travaux font l'objet de publications et de présentations dans des congrès médicaux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accessibles depuis peu via le site Doctissimo, les fiches santé Sanoia seront téléchargeables sur téléphone mobile à partir de début mai. Elles peuvent être traduites en quatre langues. Ses concepteurs n'ont pas jugé pertinent de proposer un stockage des examens médicaux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sécurité informatique incertaine &lt;br /&gt;Inquiet des dérives commerciales aux États-Unis, Hervé Servy insiste sur la nécessité de garantir l'anonymat et la confidentialité des données. Dans son système de dossier médical qu'il a fait valider par la Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (Cnil), les utilisateurs sont identifiés par un mot de passe et un code généré aléatoirement. Ils ne laissent ni informations nominatives, ni adresse électronique à l'inverse de l'inscription au dossier santé personnel de Docteurclic qui nécessite un courriel. «Le pseudo, le mot de passe et l'adresse électronique sont conservés dans trois fichiers différents, ce qui sécurise le système puisqu'il faut deux de ces trois éléments pour accéder au dossier», assure Hervé Huas. L'argumentation laisse cependant sceptiques des experts en sécurité informatique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En l'absence de garantie absolue concernant la sécurité de ces services, les spécialistes prônent la prudence, tant dans la saisie des données que leur partage. «Ces dossiers peuvent être pratiques, notamment pour les personnes qui voyagent, mais les médecins doivent attirer l'attention de leurs patients sur les risques encourus, insiste le Dr André Desueur, président de la section exercice professionnel du Conseil de l'ordre des médecins. Quand on voit les systèmes de sécurité et de contrôle mis en place pour le DMP, on peut avoir des incertitudes, voire des inquiétudes vis-à-vis d'un hébergement privé.» Récemment, le Conseil de l'ordre a appelé à un débat public sur la question plus globale de la protection des données de santé informatisées.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Des données très convoitées&lt;br /&gt;Healthvault, Google Health ou encore Patientslikeme… les dossiers médicaux personnels en ligne et les communautés virtuelles de patients sont déjà bien développés aux États-Unis. Plusieurs grandes firmes pharmaceutiques ont tissé des partenariats avec ces sociétés commerciales, ce qui leur permet de récupérer des informations - a priori anonymes - précieuses concernant des groupes de malades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malheureusement, ces sites peuvent être piratés. En octobre dernier, le Wall Street Journal a révélé que la plate-forme Patientslikeme avait fait l'objet d'un vol massif de données par le robot informatique d'une société revendant ce type d'informations. Le processus a finalement été stoppé à temps, mais certains participants aux forums de ce site ont eu quelques sueurs froides en réalisant que leur identité pouvait être facilement retrouvée. «Face à la candeur avec laquelle les personnes disséminent leurs données sur les réseaux sociaux, il faut être vigilant, d'autant que ces firmes américaines cherchent à s'implanter en France», prévient Hervé Servy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les réseaux sociaux destinés aux patients et à leurs proches comme le site Carenity.com, ouvert il y a quelques semaines, sont déjà implantés dans notre pays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : http://www.lefigaro.fr/sante/2011/04/25/01004-20110425ARTFIG00444-l-irresistible-essor-des-carnets-de-sante-en-ligne.php&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-2365221229594996510?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/2365221229594996510/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/04/ersatz-de-dmp-faut-il-sen-emouvoir.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2365221229594996510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2365221229594996510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/04/ersatz-de-dmp-faut-il-sen-emouvoir.html' title='Ersatz de DMP : faut-il s&apos;en émouvoir?'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-6013298650595508924</id><published>2011-04-20T10:58:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T10:58:05.202+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Blood chip could lead to disease diagnosis in minutes</title><content type='html'>A major milestone in microfluidics could soon lead to stand-alone, self-powered chips that can diagnose diseases within minutes. The device, developed by an international team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, Dublin City University in Ireland and Universidad de Valparaíso Chile, is able to process whole blood samples without the use of external tubing and extra components.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The researchers have dubbed the device SIMBAS, which stands for Self-powered Integrated Microfluidic Blood Analysis System. SIMBAS appeared as the cover story March 7 in the peer-reviewed journal Lab on a Chip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The dream of a true lab-on-a-chip has been around for a while, but most systems developed thus far have not been truly autonomous,” said Ivan Dimov, UC Berkeley post-doctoral researcher in bioengineering and co-lead author of the study. “By the time you add tubing and sample prep setup components required to make previous chips function, they lose their characteristic of being small, portable and cheap. In our device, there are no external connections or tubing required, so this can truly become a point-of-care system.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dimov works in the lab of the study’s principal investigator, Luke Lee, UC Berkeley professor of bioengineering and co-director of the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is a very important development for global healthcare diagnostics,” said Lee. “Field workers would be able to use this device to detect diseases such as HIV or tuberculosis in a matter of minutes. The fact that we reduced the complexity of the biochip and used plastic components makes it much easier to manufacture in high volume at low cost. Our goal is to address global health care needs with diagnostic devices that are functional, cheap and truly portable.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the new SIMBAS biochip, the researchers took advantage of the laws of microscale physics to speed up processes that may take hours or days in a traditional lab. They note, for example, that the sediment in red wine that usually takes days to years to settle can occur in mere seconds on the microscale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The SIMBAS biochip uses trenches patterned underneath microfluidic channels that are about the width of a human hair. When whole blood is dropped onto the chip’s inlets, the relatively heavy red and white blood cells settle down into the trenches, separating from the clear blood plasma. The blood moves through the chip in a process called degas-driven flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For degas-driven flow, air molecules inside the porous polymeric device are removed by placing the device in a vacuum-sealed package. When the seal is broken, the device is brought to atmospheric conditions, and air molecules are reabsorbed into the device material. This generates a pressure difference, which drives the blood fluid flow in the chip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In experiments, the researchers were able to capture more than 99 percent of the blood cells in the trenches and selectively separate plasma using this method.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This prep work of separating the blood components for analysis is done with gravity, so samples are naturally absorbed and propelled into the chip without the need for external power,” said Dimov.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team demonstrated the proof-of-concept of SIMBAS by placing into the chip’s inlet a 5-microliter sample of whole blood that contained biotin (vitamin B7) at a concentration of about 1 part per 40 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That can be roughly thought of as finding a fine grain of sand in a 1700-gallon sand pile,” said Dimov.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biodetectors in the SIMBAS chip provided a readout of the biotin levels in 10 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Imagine if you had something as cheap and as easy to use as a pregnancy test, but that could quickly diagnose HIV and TB,” said Benjamin Ross, a UC Berkeley graduate student in bioengineering and study co-author. “That would be a real game-changer. It could save millions of lives.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The SIMBAS platform may create an effective molecular diagnostic biochip platform for cancer, cardiac disease, sepsis and other diseases in developed countries as well,” said Lee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other co-lead authors of the study are Lourdes Basabe-Desmonts, senior scientist at Dublin City University’s Biomedical Diagnostics Institute, and Jose L. Garcia-Cordero, currently post-doctoral scientist at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL Switzerland). Antonio J. Ricco, adjunct professor at the Biomedical Diagnostics Institute at Dublin City University, also co-authored the study.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The work was funded by the Science Foundation Ireland and the U.S. National Institutes of Health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : http://scienceblog.com/43802/blood-chip-could-lead-to-disease-diagnosis-in-minutes/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-6013298650595508924?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/6013298650595508924/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/04/blood-chip-could-lead-to-disease.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/6013298650595508924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/6013298650595508924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/04/blood-chip-could-lead-to-disease.html' title='Blood chip could lead to disease diagnosis in minutes'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-4194928867226741463</id><published>2011-04-20T10:46:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T10:52:51.611+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Advanced Medical Software – Right in the Browser</title><content type='html'>There has been warranted criticism for web applications in that they  are unable to replace complex software.

Le marché de "fourniture,  installation et mise en service d’un PACS au CHBS" a été attribué à la  société Telemis le 14 janvier 2011, pour une durée de deux ans et un  montant de près de 603.000 euros. Ce coût inclut l’achat de matériels  informatiques, sous-traités à deux autres prestataires, pour près de  202.000 euros. Le choix a été effectué sans mise en concurrence, après  "une procédure de dialogue compétitif déclarée infructueuse", rappelle  l’avis d’attribution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L’établissement sera équipé de la version 4.2 du logiciel  Telemis-Medical, disponible depuis le mois de janvier. Ce PACS comprend  des applications spécifiques pour la mammographie et l’orthopédie, ainsi  qu’un portail web sécurisé pour diffuser les images vers les médecins  libéraux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans un premier temps, l’entreprise Computacenter livrera au CHBS des  serveurs informatiques, d’une capacité totale de stockage de 10  téraoctets, qui seront hébergés dans deux salles distantes, précise  Christian Joannic, directeur du système d’information de  l’établissement, contacté par TICsanté. Par ailleurs, divers écrans de  visualisation seront acquis auprès du fabricant belge Barco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le PACS pourra alors être interfacé avec le système d’information  radiologique Xplore, développé par EDL, puis mis en service dans le  service de radiologie dans le courant du mois de mai, poursuit-il. Les  services de neurologie, d’oncologie et des urgences y auront accès dès  le mois de juin, puis le logiciel sera généralisé à toutes les  spécialités à partir de septembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"L’objectif est de passer au sans-film en décembre" 2011, explique  Philippe Mabille, directeur général de Telemis France, interrogé par  TICsanté. A cette fin, l’éditeur participera à la formation de plus de  200 médecins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour l’heure, "la mise en œuvre se cantonne à la radiologie (…).  L’extension à d’autres types d’images n’est pas encore programmée, mais  nous savons que nous allons le faire, car il y a des attentes en ce  sens", souligne Christian Joannic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D’autres usages pourraient émerger à la faveur du renouvellement du  réseau régional de télé-imagerie. En effet, le CHBS fait partie du  groupement de commandes, représenté par le groupement de coopération  sanitaire (GCS) Réseau Télésanté Bretagne, qui a sélectionné la société  Etiam et le syndicat interhospitalier de Bretagne (SIB) pour mettre en  œuvre le nouveau réseau breton d’imagerie de santé (RUBIS).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L’établissement lorientais, déjà pourvu de la solution Carnac 2, créée  par le SIB, s’est "positionné pour basculer vers RUBIS dès que la phase  pilote sera terminée", en principe au mois d’avril 2011, signale-t-il.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette nouvelle infrastructure "pourra ouvrir des possibilités" de  coopérations, en particulier avec les centres hospitaliers de  Cornouaille, à Quimper et Concarneau, et celui de Douarnenez  (Finistère), qui ont tous deux acquis le PACS de Telemis en mai 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La suite : http://www.ticsante.com/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-7153915346102494231?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/7153915346102494231/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/04/pacs-de-telemis.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7153915346102494231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/7153915346102494231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/04/pacs-de-telemis.html' title='PACS de Telemis'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-2676281415011582195</id><published>2011-04-20T10:39:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T10:57:14.996+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Auction for IPV4 addresses?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="nortel microsoft ipv4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/downloadsquad.switched.com/media/2011/03/nortel.jpg" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; height: 400px; margin: 4px; width: 480px;" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In times of a shortage, people tend to stockpile certain things. And with &lt;a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/01/27/ip-addresses-are-about-to-run-out-will-the-world-end/"&gt;the looming exhaustion of IPv4 addresses&lt;/a&gt;, it's really no surprise that Microsoft jumped all over &lt;a href="http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2011/03/24/microsoft-just-scooped-up-666624-ipv4-addresses-for-7-5-million/"&gt;Nortel's stash of nearly 700,000 addresses&lt;/a&gt;  when they became available for purchase. Nortel, of course, has been  selling off what assets it can as the company battles through bankruptcy  proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Microsoft ponied up $7.5 million for the Nortel pool, which works out to  just over $11 per IP address. There were reportedly 13 other interested  buyers, but only Microsoft and three others actually submitted bids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the last block of IPv4 addresses already issued, snatching up 2/3  of a million in one fell swoop is a smart move by Microsoft, and we're  sure they have plans for the IPs. As far as what those plans actually  are, we'll just have to wait and see -- though something cloud-based  seems like a safe bet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/03/25/microsoft-buys-666-624-ipv4-addresses-from-nortel-for-7-5-milli/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-2676281415011582195?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/2676281415011582195/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/04/auction-for-ipv4-addresses.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2676281415011582195'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/2676281415011582195'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/04/auction-for-ipv4-addresses.html' title='Auction for IPV4 addresses?'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-4850842798235192092</id><published>2011-04-20T10:38:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T10:38:06.763+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Northern Ireland patients to benefit from remote health monitoring</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="introduction"&gt;Patients in Northern Ireland with certain  chronic conditions will soon be able to have routine daily health checks  carried out in the privacy of their own homes.&lt;/div&gt;Health Minister Michael McGimpsey has announced a new  contract to enable the health service to begin using remote monitoring  technology.&lt;br /&gt;Patients will be able to have their vital signs, such as  pulse and blood pressure tested at home on a daily basis and monitored  centrally. &lt;br /&gt;Those with heart and respiratory conditions, diabetes and people who have suffered a stroke will benefit from the technology.&lt;br /&gt;The contract to provide the service was won by TF3, a consortium made up of the telehealth companies Tunstall, Fold and S3.&lt;br /&gt;Patients will be given a small base station unit called a "My Medic", about the size of a clock radio.&lt;br /&gt;Then, depending on the condition to be monitored, one or more  peripherals will be provided to allow the patient to test their vitals.  These peripherals range from blood pressure cuffs to electro-cardio  grams to weighing scales. &lt;br /&gt;Using wireless technology the devices then send the readings  to the My Medic unit, which in turn relays the information to the health  care provider.&lt;br /&gt;Information about a patient's health will build up over time  and trends can be identified.

If my heart rate gets too high the implanted defibrillator in my chest  can think I'm having a heart attack and give me a friendly remedial  shock. But such nasty surprises could soon become less of a concern for  people like me – by giving our hearts their very own IP addresses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="infuse"&gt;Dutch research organisation &lt;a href="http://www.imec-nl.nl/nl_en/netherlands.html" target="ns"&gt;IMEC&lt;/a&gt;,  based in Eindhoven, this week demonstrated a new type of wireless body  area network (BAN). Dubbed the Human++ BAN platform, the system converts  IMEC's ultra-low-power electrocardiogram sensors into wireless nodes in  a short-range network, transmitting physiological data to a hub – the  patient's cellphone. From there, the readings can be forwarded to  doctors via a Wi-Fi or 3G connection. They can also be displayed on the  phone or sound an alarm when things are about to go wrong, giving  patients like me a chance to try to slow our heart rates and avoid an  unnecessary shock.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="infuse"&gt;Julien Penders, who developed the  system, says it can also work with other low-power medical sensors, such  as electroencephalograms (EEGs) to monitor neurological conditions or  electromyograms to detect neuromuscular diseases. Besides helping those  already diagnosed with chronic conditions, BANs could be used by people  at risk of developing medical problems – the so-called "worried well" –  or by fitness enthusiasts and athletes who want to keep tabs on their  physiological processes during training.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 class="crosshead"&gt;Tied to an Android&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="infuse"&gt;IMEC's technology is &lt;a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14921-invention-billboards-that-know-you-at-a-touch.html"&gt;not the first BAN&lt;/a&gt;,  but integrates better than earlier versions with the gadgets that many  people carry around with them. IMEC has created a dongle that plugs into  the standard SD memory card interface of a cellphone to stream data  from the sensors in real time and allow the phone to reconfigure the  sampling frequency of sensors on the fly. The associated software runs  on Google's Android cellphone operating system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="infuse"&gt;However, IMEC has eschewed common  short-range wireless standards such as Bluetooth in favour of the  so-called nRF24L01+ radio designed by &lt;a href="http://www.nordicsemi.com/" target="ns"&gt;Nordic Semiconductor&lt;/a&gt;  in Oslo, Norway. "The problem with Bluetooth is that it will increase  the power consumption on the sensor side," says Penders. Using the  Nordic system, IMEC's sensors can run continuously, transmitting every  100 milliseconds, for up to seven days between recharges – a Bluetooth  system would barely last a day, Penders says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="infuse"&gt;In the current design, the ECG  electrodes are connected to a small necklace that contains the  transmitter and battery. The next step will be to use an ultra-low-power  radio transmitter, still in development at IMEC, to improve the stamina  and portability of the sensors.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="infuse"&gt;With around 18 million people in the  UK living with chronic disease, "telehealth" monitoring like this is the  way things are going, says Mike Knapton, associate medical director at  the &lt;a href="http://www.bhf.org.uk/default.aspx" target="ns"&gt;British Heart Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.  Devices already exist that allow people with pacemakers and  defibrillators to send telemetry from their implants via a landline to  doctors. But using mobile phones would be the natural next step, he  says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="infuse"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="infuse"&gt;Source : http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn19556-body-organs-can-send-status-updates-to-your-cellphone.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&amp;amp;nsref=online-news &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-5622975050089219492?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/5622975050089219492/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/03/ban-body-organs-can-send-status-updates.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5622975050089219492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/5622975050089219492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/03/ban-body-organs-can-send-status-updates.html' title='BAN : Body organs can send status updates to your cellphone'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-366726994209487211</id><published>2011-01-22T16:49:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-22T16:49:53.994+01:00</updated><title type='text'>SIP can be sweet</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)&lt;/a&gt;. The three words themselves aren’t particularly spectacular. But this technology is the foundation for true unified communications, and is helping to transform the way that traders communicate and collaborate, wherever they are.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The life of a typical trader is busier and more demanding than ever before. The industry is now globalised and more interdependent than anyone could have imagined ten years ago. In such a fast moving world where rapid, reliable communications are the bedrock of success, technology has just about kept up in the form of trading turrets along with laptops, smartphones and other mobile devices. So much so, that a typical trader often works with two, three or more of these devices each supporting different communication medias. That’s a big step forward in terms of flexible and mobile working. But it presents a fundamental challenge. Whether you want to reach an individual by email, voice or even video conference, how do you know the best way to reach them?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until recently, people relied on voicemail messages, automated emails and even social networks to pinpoint their location. However, the trading sector lacked of a single solution that could unify these disparate channels. All this is about to change thanks to a technology called Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). SIP enables to change communication pattern paradigm from device to device communication to user to user communication. With SIP, no need to know all your correspondent details as the communication is automatically routed to the device to which he is connected to and the communication application he is using.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it’s not all! SIP goes further: thanks to the convergence of networks and equipment, physical and geographical boundaries no longer restrict trading operations. Where today you have rigid communication matrices based on leased lines connecting one site to another one, tomorrow, thanks to SIP, you will be able to change dynamically and on the fly the termination of a line enabling to connect the trader to his correspondent wherever both of them are at that time. The limitations are defined by administration rights and the profile of the users.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.orange-business.com/live/2011/01/have-a-sip---a-taste-of-the-future.html"&gt;http://blogs.orange-business.com/live/2011/01/have-a-sip---a-taste-of-the-future.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202565473777834288-366726994209487211?l=economie-numerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/feeds/366726994209487211/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/01/sip-can-be-sweet.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/366726994209487211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2202565473777834288/posts/default/366726994209487211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://economie-numerique.blogspot.com/2011/01/sip-can-be-sweet.html' title='SIP can be sweet'/><author><name>Bruno Boutteau</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109401053540220996736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPyJFsxnv6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/6gQyTjiJ0os/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202565473777834288.post-5695233103384709218</id><published>2011-01-11T20:56:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-11T20:56:26.069+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Le dossier médical personnel informatisé (DMP)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000d39; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="spip" dir="ltr" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Après quatre ans de retard, chaque médecin pourra proposer dans quelques semaines à ses patients de leur ouvrir un dossier médical personnel (DMP).
