Application of the case-mix index and length of stay for hospital waste management comparison: Introduction of a new adjusted metric
Introduction Hazardous healthcare waste (HHCW) presents escalating environmental and operational challenges, yet traditional indicators such as waste generation rate (kg/bed/day) fail to account for patient complexity or care intensity, leading to biased institutional comparisons. Despite various previous normalization attempts, no validated framework has yet integrated clinical and operational heterogeneity into a single benchmarking metric. Thi…

The Correlation between Two Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor’s Concentrations and Cognition
Both lisinopril and enalapril are angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) drugs and widely used in the treatment of hypertension. Enalapril does not cross the blood-brain barrier, but lisinopril is centrally active. Our goal was to find out if there was a link between the actual concentration of ACE inhibitors and cognition and if there was a detectable difference between the two types of ACE inhibitors. Asymptomatic, non-treated patients were diagno…
