4. A tutorial on hypercube queueing models and some practical applications in Emergency Service Systems
This paper presents some extensions and applications of hypercube queueing models todescribe server-to-customer type Emergency Service Systems. The classical hypercube is a well-known spatially distributed queueing model effective in analyzing these systems, based on Markovian analysis approximations. Experience has shown that each real life Emergency Servic

5. Análise da configuração de SAMU utilizando modelo hipercubo com prioridade na fila e múltiplas alternativas de localização de ambulâncias
In some emergency medical systems the service demand is high due to the treatment of patients in the range severe to mild, which increases the utilization level of the servers. In these systems, may be queues formation and so the need to explicitly consider priority in care is extremely important. In this study we extend the hypercube model to deal with this

6. Evaluation of C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A in the detection of inflammatory and infectious diseases in children / Avaliação de marcadores de fase aguda em crianças atendidas em um serviço de urgencia
Introduction: the acute-phase response consists of a complex network of events involving various cells and pro anti-inflammatory mediators. The clinical diagnosis of this condition is not always easily obtained. The performance of several markers of the acute response is constantly evaluated in different groups of diseases, aiming to optimize the diagnosis a

9. Otimização da configuração e operação de sistemas médicos emergenciais em rodovias utilizando o modelo hipercubo.
The purpose of this study is to develop effective methods to analyze the configuration and operation of the emergency medical systems (EMS) on highways. Due to the stochastic nature of these systems, especially in the arrival and assistance processes of the emergency calls, we apply the Hypercube Queuing Model to evaluate the performance measures of the syst

10. Multiple organ failure in septic patients
Multiple organ failure (MOF) is the main cause of death in ICUs, especially affecting septic patients. It is strongly related to number of systems with failure, type of system involved, risk factors such as age, previous chronic diseases, delayed or inadequate resuscitation, persistent infection, immune suppression, and others. The prognoses is worse for pat
