<p>Deaf or hearing loss is a condition of inability to hear something, either totally or partially. Hearing loss greatly affects the life of a person in communicating with the people around him. Deaf people will be very difficult when in a medical emergency, this is because the medical emergency situation requires fast action.</p><p>          The Healthy Phone application is a mobile medical emergency call application that can help people with hearing impaired when in emergency situations. With the Healthy Phone application, the user only needs to select an icon that suits the situation encountered in touchscreen mobile device then the message will be sent to the nearest hospital.</p>                To search for icons corresponding to emergencies, the User Centered Design (UCD) method is used. This application is very helpful for deaf people because this application does not require audio communication and user location is also sent automatically to the nearest hospital. The results were analyzed using four emergency event scenarios with a total score of 87% and an average user time of less than 0:42 sec indicating that the study was successful in designing a mobile medical emergency call application according to user requirements.

Trust In Schools

A suburban elementary school experiences an emergency evacuation. This evacuation event reveals trust and safety concerns. Some parents, staff members, and children express safety concerns, and a key school staff member questions the judgment of another staff member during the emergency event, exacerbating existing tensions between the two. The principal must move the school community forward, while re-establishing trust and addressing safety concerns. Frameworks for repairing trust and trust in schools are considered.

Abstract Aim Inguinal hernia (IH) belongs to the most common surgical pathology worldwide. Approximately, one third of patients are asymptomatic. Watchful waiting (WW) has been regarded as a justifiable treatment option, but doubts still exist since high crossover (CO) rates to surgery may occur. The aim of this study is to assess the CO rates after 13-year follow-up of our randomized controlled trial (RCT). Material and Methods In our original study, 496 men with an asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic IH were randomly assigned to elective repair or WW. A retrospective review was conducted of patients initially assigned to WW. Primary outcome was CO rate to surgery. Secondary outcomes included reason for crossing over and time between initial randomisation and the CO to surgery. Results In the original RCT, 95 of 262 WW patients electively crossed over to surgery (35.4%) after 32.9 months. Currently, 212 of the 262 (81.0%) WW patients were reviewed, and 133/212 (62.7%) crossed over to surgery. Median follow-up was 13 years (range, 8-15 years). Mean time to CO was 35.2 months SD (40.8). Motivations for crossing over to surgery were predominantly due to progression of symptoms (83.5%), and in 8 (3.8%) cases due to an emergency event. Conclusions In the presented population, WW on the long-term remains a safe strategy, saving one third of patients an operation, although CO to surgery will likely occur. Insights into the natural course of untreated inguinal hernia that are valuable during patient counseling can be offered in the form of long-term CO rate due to progression of symptoms.

Management Organization

Managers of emergencies face challenges of complexity, uncertainty, and unpredictably. Triadic constraints imply requisite parsimony in describing the essence of the emergency, its magnitude and direction of development. Linguistic separation increases as the crisis management organization is more complex and made up of diverse constituents. Therefore, a standard objective emergency scale is vital to quantify and unambiguously communicate the nature of any emergency. Previous work laid the foundations for an objective measurable emergency event scale. This article proposes a unified emergency scale based on a mathematical model, accompanied by several examples spanning local to national events.
