BackgroundContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask renewal policies vary inside and between countries. There are no independent studies on the optimal mask renewal frequency. We aimed to evaluate CPAP mask function over time in a real-life clinical setting, and to compare the results against current renewal policies.MethodsDaily performance data of 1846 CPAP masks (65% nasal, 22% nasal pillows, 12% oronasal) were recorded from 450 participants (68% male, mean age 59 years) with obstructive sleep apnoea. The unintentional leak, Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (CPAP-AHI) and usage data were exported from the CPAP device.ResultsOf 656 324 nights of CPAP usage, the mean renewal time was 497 days (SD 327), mean leak 5.7 L/min (SD 8.1) and CPAP-AHI 3.8 events/h (SD 3.6). The difference in mean leak between one (5.2 L/min, SD 7.5), 12 (6.0 L/min, SD 10.2) and 24 months (5.8 L/min, SD 7.5) was minimal (p=0.59). Mean CPAP-AHI remained normal and unchanged in nasal masks and pillows up to 30 months, and was highest in oronasal masks. Different mask manufacturers performed similarly. Masks’ daily or total usage did not affect the results. Shifting the mask renewal policy to 24 months could reduce the mask-related cost up to 50%–88%.ConclusionsNasal masks and pillows could be used at least 2 years without significant changes in unintentional leak and CPAP-AHI. We suggest updating the mask renewal policies of nasal masks and pillows; results on oronasal masks and other manufacturers CPAP devices need further verification.

6535 Background: As new cancer drugs come at a high cost, it is of interest to examine if drugs with high impact on survival has a relative higher uptake compared to drugs with limited impact on survival in countries with limited resources (low Gross National Product; GDP/capita) versus countries with better resources (medium or high GDP/capita). Methods: Based on published clinical trial data, including ESMO- and ASCO value scales, we selected three drugs with high impact on survival and their main indications; imatinib/Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), rituximab (some use outside oncology)/lymphoma and trastuzumab/breast cancer compared to everolimus/ renal cancer, sorafenib/renal cancer and bevacizumab/colorectal cancer as drugs with limited impact on survival. Countries in Europe were divided into three economic groups: upper-tier GDP/ capita 36,000 – 73,400 €; (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland); mid-tier GDP 22,800 – 35,400 €; (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK) low-tier GDP 5,800 – 18,100 € (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia). Sales data from IMS Health and epidemiological data from IARC Cancer Mondial, (WHO) were used. Access to drugs was measured as use in g/case (defined as cancer mortality in 2012) and includes total usage from introduction until end of 2014. Access in the upper-tier country group was set as 100% usage. Results: As seen in the table, access in mid-tier countries was 64-76% and low-tier countries 34-55% respectively for drugs with higher survival impact and access in mid-tier countries was 73-105% and low-tier countries 34-59% respectively, for drugs with lower survival impact. More detailed data on access in individual countries within each GDP/capita group will also be presented. Conclusions: Proven survival benefit did not affect spending on costly cancer drugs in countries with lower GDP. [Table: see text]

As one of the most densely populated metropolises in the world, Hong Kong daily sees severe traffic delays at the Cross-Harbour Tunnel (CHT), though not at the Eastern Harbour Crossing (EHC) or the Western Harbour Crossing (WHC). In 2013, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government proposed raising the tolls of the publicly owned CHT and lowering those of the publicly owned EHC for nine vehicle types: private cars, motorcycles, taxis, three kinds of buses, and three kinds of goods vehicles. The privately owned WHC’s already high tolls, however, would remain unchanged. Using monthly usage and peak-hour usage data for January 2003 through June 2015, a Generalized Leontief demand system was estimated and found that private cars, motorcycles, and goods vehicles have price-sensitive tunnel usage patterns that are also time-dependent. The usage patterns of taxis and buses, which are public transportation vehicles, are totally price-insensitive. These findings suggest that the HKSAR Government’s proposed toll changes would reduce the CHT’s monthly usage by 7.4%–12.2%, and peak-hour usage by 5.0–16.8%. These usage reduction estimates suggest that a time-of-use (TOU) toll design can better manage CHT congestion than the current non-TOU design.

O incêndio florestal é um dos maiores danos que as florestas estão sujeitas, e em geral, a maior dificuldade no seu combate está relacionada com a disponibilidade de água nas proximidades da ocorrência. Neste contexto, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a eficiência do uso da água em três diferentes métodos de combate a incêndios florestais (Kit combate, CAF’S e caminhão pipa convencional) em áreas de eucalipto no norte do Espírito Santo e sul da Bahia. Em cada um dos métodos foram analisados os seguintes parâmetros: vazão, tempo de uso total, tempo de uso para cada 1.000 litros de água, rendimento e volume total disponível. Todos os parâmetros avaliados apresentaram diferença estatística pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. O sistema CAF’S com a tecnologia de espuma pressurizada obteve os melhores índices, uma vez que, apresentou bons resultados em todos os aspectos avaliados, sendo o principal deles a elevada capacidade de transformação do volume de água em espuma, proporcionando um grande volume total disponível.Palavras-chave: proteção florestal, retardante de fogo, controle de incêndios. EFFICIENCY OF USE OF WATER IN FIRE FIGHTING IN PLANTED FORESTS ABSTRACT:The forest fire is one of the biggest damage that the forests are subject and the biggest difficulty in their fight is related to water availability near the occurrence.

  Procurement of drugs at RS X was carried out unsystematically by the head of the RS Pharmacy Installation. This procurement causes the costs incurred by the Hospital to be unplanned and inefficient. The value of the use of active pharmaceutical supplies in 2016 with the number of pharmaceutical supplies of 2119 is worth Rp. 168,232,696 and the number of 2041 inactive supplies worth Rp. 533,260,268. The data shows the inefficiency of pharmaceutical supplies within 1 year which results in the use of budget funds less efficiently. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the ABC VEN method as a basis for procurement systems in Hospital X.       The type of research conducted is quantitative, pre experimental using descriptive analytical methods with analysis of ABC and VEN methods. Samples were taken as much as 500 from the data of drug use for 1 year in RS X Pharmacy Installation.       The results of the study of 500 drug items with the ABC method found Group A 19.8%, Group B 40%, Group C 40.2%, the VEN method obtained group V 7.8%, Group E 88.8%, group N 3, 4%, with the ABC method VEN AV group 2%, AE 17.6%, AN 0.3%, BV 4.2%, BE 35%, BN 1.2%, CV 1.8%, CE 37%, CN 1.8%. The CE (C Essential) group is more due to its function as prevention and prevention of patient diseases. Before doing the ABC VEN method the inventory value is Rp. 6,188,183,555 and after the ABC VEN method was Rp. 5.833.095.547 with a difference of Rp. 355.089.998, (6.8%) of the total usage fee.        The conclusion of this study is that the system used by the Pharmacy Pharmacy Installation has not been efficient, causing losses for hospitals. Difference in inventory value before and after the ABC VEN method is Rp. 355,089,998. Suggestions are changing the old system to a new system through prior socialization and regulation.
