Considerable extra burden with significant loss of lives was reported in 1918 by both the public medics system and the public hospitals.
However, only the numbers of outpatients, in-patient hospitalizations, and all-cause deaths for the large public hospital and the public medics system were given in the Statistics Abstract [ 14].
Yearly excess numbers of outpatients, in-patient hospitalizations (abbreviated to "hospitalization" hereafter), and all-cause deaths reported by the large public hospital and the public medics system during 1918-1920 were computed by the method of Serfling et al. [ 16].
The yearly excess number of patients and all-cause deaths reported by 12 public hospitals and public medics system during 1918-1920 compared with the yearly averages during the adjacent "baseline" years of 1916, 1917, 1921, and 1922 are shown in Figures 1, 2, 3.
Bio Medic Data System (BMDS) (Plexx, the Netherlands): This system comprised implantable programmable temperature transponders (IPTT-300™) designed for non-surgical implantation into animals.
Foss described one popular calling scam making the rounds: The caller tells people that their son or daughter -- or doctor -- just ordered them a Medic Alert system.
Briefly, a temperature transponder (IPTT-300, Bio Medic Data System) was injected into the intrascapular region of the ground squirrel in order to monitor the body temperature (Tb) of individual animals.
Misys will add Sunquest's services to those of Medic Computer Systems, a complementary American medical-software outfit.
A subcutaneous implantable temperature transponder (Bio Medic Data Systems, Seaford, DE) was placed in each ferret for identification and temperature readings.
Body temperature of cold-exposed mice was monitored via read-out of transponders (IPTT-300) that were injected subcutaneously prior to the experiment (Bio Medic Data Systems, Seaford, USA).
