J-Consortium

ct_map_passionasia_13_657.gifJ-Consortium is an open and democratic body organized as a not-for-profit consortium. We welcome as members all individuals and all companies from all viewpoints. Our posted publicly on our web site, explain the details of our organization, which is based on a one-company, one-vote principle for all technical decisions. J Consortium is an outgrowth of the Real-Time Java™ Working Group (RTJWG) on health application, which itself was an outgrowth of the NIST real-time requirements effort initiated in early 1998. Our specifications will be consistent with the NIST requirements. Our charter is to help to advance the creation of specifications and related activities for what we refer to as real-time and embedded extensions for Java Technologies. (Sun Microsystems defines “Java Technologies” to include the Java virtual machine, Java programming language, and class libraries.) In addition, when we refer to “real-time”, we mean real-time and embedded applications in medicine, with a special significance to the extreme doctors needs.

What do we stand for?
First, we strive to ensure the ability for application developers to create both soft and hard real-time and medical applications using Java Technologies.

Second, we believe that doing so requires the creation of Java Medical specifications which address all related technical concerns, or provides a common basis for implementations which address all related technical concerns. To ensure that the technical concerns of all parties involved in this complex application area can be met, we believe that specifications must be created in the context of an openly accessible and vendor-neutral forum. We seek to achieve a unified, consensus-based approach to supporting real-time applications using Java Technologies. We believe that an open process with full and equal participation of all companies and users is the best defense against fragmentation.

About Vaccination Schedule for Puppy, Dog, Child and Pet

Puppy Vaccination Schedule: A young dog is referred as puppy. A puppy should be monitored for diseases and its vaccination schedule must start when it is 5 weeks old. It should be given vaccination for parvovirus which proves high risk of exposure to parvo. Between six and eight weeks after its birth, the puppy should be examined comprehensively. The examination must include fecal exam also. Heartworm preventive dosage must be administered based on the weight of the puppy. Deworming should also be performed on every visit. The Booster vaccine is also administered. Even combination vaccine of leptospirosis and coronavirus is
administered. Between ten and twelve weeks, the puppy should be physically examined. It requires the second dosage of Puppy Booster Duramune Max 5-CVK.

The main concern here is for the Heartworm Preventative, Bordetella - Bronchi-Shield III, and Deworming - Nemex II. Between fifteen and sixteen weeks, again the puppy must be examined
physically with the administration of Puppy Booster Duramune Max 5-CVK. Again at
the twentieth week, the puppy must be administered with Booster vaccine apart
from physical examination. There are many other vaccinations for puppies for the
following diseases.

  • Leptospirosis – It is
    a bacterial disease of the urinary system
  • Corona – It is a
    viral disease of the intestines
  • Parainfluenza – It is
    an infectious bronchitis disease.
  • Parvovirus – It is a
    viral disease of the intestines
  • Rabies – It is a
    viral disease fatal to humans and other animals
  • Distemper – It is an
    airborne viral disease of the lungs, intestines and brain
  • Hepatitis – It is a
    viral disease of the liver
  • Bordetella – It is a
    bacterial infection (kennel cough)

Dog Vacinatin Schedule:
Dog vaccines can be classified mainly into two classes such as core vaccines
and non-core vaccines. The core vaccines are the compulsory vaccines for all
dogs whereas the non-core vaccines are specific to certain dogs based on its
age, breed and health status.

Core Vaccines:
Canine Distemper vaccine which has high efficacy and low risk adverse effect. Its length of immunity is for 1
year. Parvovirus vaccine has high efficacy and 1 year length of immunity with low risks.

Hepatitis vaccine has high efficacy, low risks with length of immunity of 1 year.

Rabies vaccine has high efficacy and the length of immunity depends on the type of vaccine. The risk factors are
low to moderate.

Non-Core Vaccines: Measles vaccine is good in preventing the disease, but not in preventing the infection. It has long length of immunity and infrequent risk adverse effect.

Respiratory disease from canine adenovirus-2 (CAV-2) vaccine has short length of immunity and the risk of
adverse effect is minimal.

Parainfluenza vaccine has intranasal MLV - Moderate Injectable MLV with low efficacy. The length of
immunity is moderate with low adverse effects.

Bordetella vaccine has intranasal MLV - Moderate Injectable MLV with low efficacy. It has short length of immunity with low adverse effects.

Leptospirosis vaccine has variable efficacy with short length of immunity and high adverse effects.

Coronavirus vaccine has low efficacy, short length of immunity and low risks.

Lyme vaccine has variable efficacy and requires to be vaccinated every year with moderate risk effects.

The childhood vaccinations include the following.

pertussis (DTaP) — dose 1 of 5

Pet Vaccination Schedule:
Pet vaccines are important as they trigger protective immune responses in pets and prepare them to fight future infections.
The vaccinations are mainly based on the the pet’s age, health, lifestyle, environment, and geographic locations. Apart from the dog vaccination, the cat vaccinations are as follows.

Vaccine:
Panleukopenia, Herpesvirus and calicivirus (combined)- Administered as early as 6 weeks, with boosters every 3 to 4 weeks until at least 12 weeks of age.

Vaccine:
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) started at 4 months and repeated in 2-4 weeks. Vaccine: Feline distemper administered at 9 weeks old and 12 weeks old. Booster vaccination is also required.

Java Technologies in telemedicine

Java applications provide access to information from any networked terminal within or outside a medical institution. In addition, Java offers scalable, distributed access to data and, therefore, permits real time consultations from multiple locations. This approach to the formidable problem of acquiring distributed medical information facilitates more rapid diagnosis and treatment. As a rule, Java software does not require large amount of system resources and is stable within contemporary operating systems. The use of Java technology is attractive because it accommodates program modules of existing system without interference with operation.

Thus, medical personnel may pull specific information from various sources with minimal of any computer-based knowledge because Java applications are intuitively designed. Use of this technology does not require profound knowledge of computer design and there is often no need to install the Java program at all points of data retrieval
