Full textAbstract:
Consumer demands are increasingly greater and dynamic and have provoked increasingly fierce competition, while at the same time arousing great interest in the need for tools for evaluating future alternative possibilities. The complexity of managing organizations and the search for tools that would allow organizations to better guide themselves in the face of the new reality gave rise to the study of prospective scenarios, as a methodology capable of conceiving a range of possibilities. And, in this way, expand the ability of organizations to design and monitor their strategic actions, to implement and preserve their competitive advantages. The present study reviews this important methodology, its main concepts, and related applications. The conclusions indicate the validity of using prospective scenarios, as a tool to help define strategies, while taking ownership of uncertainty and risk, making the positioning a more robust strategy.

Scriptlattes computational tool was used for extraction of performance indicators related to social responsibility, popularization and result prospection of research in nanotechnology in Brazil using as data source Plataforma Lattes and the CNPq Research Group Directory. Besides allowing for a quantitative evaluation of the bibliographic production on the matter, which used as base the number of published papers and book chapters, amongst other productions, the extractions have also allowed for the evaluation of indicators such as technological products, processes and techniques, related to the social responsibility in research, such as magazines and newspaper articles, linked to the popularization of Scientific results. Yet, the observation of indicators such as thesis and current research projects allowed the observation of prospective future results of current research in nanotechnology. Apart from the results related to the bibliographic productions, which can be found in several data basis, the tool makes available indicators in circular basis, which on turn, permit the prospect evaluation of future research results, as well as the evaluation of social responsibility and the popularization of research on the theme. The presented results may be replicated for any subject of interest, and may be used to guide future scientific research in the country.

ABSTRACT Developing countries face great challenges to couple agricultural intensification and sustainable supply chain development. This paper explores the opportunities for innovation in the conservation of the locally adapted Curraleiro Pé-Duro (CPD) cattle. The CPD is a historical Brazilian breed, related to regional culture, which exhibits remarkable adaptability in tropical biomes. The research method consisted of interviewing and analyzing the discourse of CPD breeders in Tocantins, Brazil. The systematization of the data resulted in four categories and eleven subcategories, which were defined a posteriori. Our findings reveal motivational aspects, potentialities, and prospects for valuation, besides the needs and perceived challenges faced by CPD farmers. A better understanding of the current situation may guide public policies, encourage stakeholders, benefit farmers, and lead to sustainable agri-food initiatives. The empirical contributions of our diagnosis are discussed, and we show how they bring forward and provide valuable lessons to prospect innovations in the conservation of CPD cattle. These findings may support scholars and people who are also interested in accessing and supporting the conservation of indigenous livestock. In general, the study supports the definition of strategies, planning, and investments for the value chain, including the participation of upstream and downstream segments of the farms.

Full textAbstract:
The Tocantinzinho gold deposit, located in the Tapajós Mineral Province, Amazonia, Brazil, is considered the largest gold deposit in the region. It is a stockwork-disseminated gold deposit, hosted in a 1982 ± 8 Ma hydrothermalized monzogranite of the Creporizão Intrusive Suite, with petrographic and geochemical characteristics of volcanic arc to post-collisional granites. Gold is mainly associated with phyllic alteration. Primary fluid inclusions trapped in the mineralization stages are H2O–NaCl and unsaturated and homogenize either to the vapor or to the liquid with Th(t) of 300–430 °C, salinity of 2–16 wt % NaCl eq. and density from 0.43 to 0.94 g/cm3. At these conditions, Au is expected to be transported as Au(HS)2− complexes and ore is deposited as the result of boiling in the first mineralizing stages and of mixing between magmatic fluid and meteoric water during the phyllic alteration. Compared with other deposits, Tocantinzinho has similarities with magmatic-hydrothermal oxidized calc-alkaline granite-related gold deposits classified as porphyry gold deposits but we classify as a porphyry-style gold deposit, as it lacks some characteristics of the Phanerozoic porphyry-type deposits. The results from this study can be used to elaborate and guide prospection models in Amazonia and in similar Proterozoic terrains.

Aromatic and Medicinal Plants (AMP) represent a large part of biodiversity. However, in the absence of a detailed record of this diversity, research and AMP development projects are generally limited to a small portion of ethnobotanical heritage. To guide prospection, exploitation and conservation studies of the existing potential, a comprehensive evaluation of the natural diversity of AMP is required. The western Rif region in northern Morocco, which area represents less than 1% of national territory, is home to about 50% of the Moroccan floristic richness (2053 species and infraspecific taxa). This heritage includes 630 taxa from which only 23 are currently exploited and merely 57% are recognized by ethno-botanists. Among these assets, a list is drawn up containing 106 taxa with a special conservation status (very rare or rare taxa, and / or endemic and / or threatened) and some of which are widely exploited. From a phytosociological point of view and based on an available database of 449 floristic samples, natural forest stands and matorrals contain about 27% of all MAP of the study area. These AMP organize almost half the floristic composition of sclerophyllous forests (oleaster, kermes oak and cork oak forest) and about a third of the richness of each of the other groups analyzed (thermophilic formations, pure fir, limestone mountains forest, calcifuges deciduous, maritime pine, matorrals). Mountain groups are the richest in exclusive, endemic, rare and endangered AMP.

Geophysical methods are one of the best ways to determine the potential of a mining area. Indeed, for the prospection of metalliferous deposits, the magnetic method remains essential as it makes it possible to characterize the extent and the depth of the anomalous bodies present in the prospected zone, mainly due to their reaction with the values of the total magnetic field. Thus, for the manganese mining zone of Bouarfa and more exactly Hammraouet, the genesis of the deposit is such that the manganese is generally associated with ferruginous minerals and clearly affect the total magnetic field. That said, the raw results obtained must imperatively be subjected to corrections to only keep the effect of the anomalous bodies on the magnetic field. Hence, we must proceed with the correction of the daytime effect then we eliminate the regional effects to get the map of the residual anomaly and finally we perform a reduction to the pole that will allow us to have well individualized and unipolar anomalies and thus allowing us to locate precisely the potentially mineralized axes. The synthesis of the various maps obtained by spatial interpolation of the data recorded in situ and corrected allows us to locate areas of mining interest and to determine the different tectonic phenomena that took place in our study area. In time, these maps will serve us to guide the subsequent mechanical surveys to confirm the results obtained by geophysical methods.

Full textAbstract:
The use of combustion in industrial activity is of paramount importance for economic and social development. However, combustion reactions are the main sources of atmospheric pollutant emissions. Given this reality, it is necessary to study new combustion techniques, such as the application of oxygen in the process, in order to increase the efficiency and productivity of the burning process and energy production. In addition, studies have reported the use of acoustic excitation, a low-investment technique that can promote higher rates of heat and mass transfer. Thus, the goal of this study was to bring data on the current scenario related to the application of these two technologies to the combustion process where, through the reported results, they can be used as a guide for companies’ decisions about new technologies and global trends to be identified. For this, a technological prospection was carried out which focused on patents to investigate the use of oxygen-enhanced combustion and acoustic excitation coupled to the combustion process; a total of 88 documents were found. Few documents applied acoustic excitation for process improvement, indicating that its use is recent; however, according to the literature, it is a promising field to be explored. Siemens AG was the main depositor, and ten primary inventors were identified. Germany and the United States were the countries with the highest number of filings. In the prospected documents, it was possible to identify that there is a need for the further investigation of the joint use of both techniques. These investigations may lead to the development of processes and devices that can provide economic and environmental gains for the energy industry.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of dental MRI for static guided implant surgery planning. Materials and methods In this prospective study, a 0.4-mm isotropic, artifact-suppressed, 3T MRI protocol was used for implant planning and surgical guide production in participants in need of dental implants. Two dentists decided on treatment plan. Surgical guides were placed intraorally during a subsequent reference cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. Inter-rater and inter-modality agreement were assessed by Cohen’s kappa. For each participant, dental MRI and CBCT datasets were co-registered to determine three-dimensional and angular deviations between planned and surgically guided implant positions. Results Forty-five implants among 30 study participants were planned and evaluated (17 women, 13 men, mean age 56.9 ± 13.1 years). Inter-rater agreement (mean κ 0.814; range 0.704–0.927) and inter-modality agreement (mean κ 0.879; range 0.782–0.901) were both excellent for the dental MRI-based treatment plans. Mean three-dimensional deviations were 1.1 ± 0.7 (entry point) and 1.3 ± 0.7 mm (apex). Mean angular deviation was 2.4 ± 1.5°. CBCT-based adjustments of MRI plans were necessary for implant position in 29.5% and for implant axis in 6.8% of all implant sites. Changes were larger in the group with shortened dental arches compared with those for tooth gaps. Except for one implant site, all guides were suitable for clinical use. Conclusion This feasibility study indicates that dental MRI is reliable and sufficiently accurate for surgical guide production. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to increase its accuracy before it can be used for implant planning outside clinical trials. Key Points • An excellent reliability for the dental MRI-based treatment plans as well as agreement between dental MRI-based and CBCT-based (reference standard) decisions were noted. • Ideal implant position was not reached in all cases by dental MRI plans. • For all but one implant site surgical guides derived from dental MRI were sufficiently accurate to perform implant placement (mean three-dimensional deviations were 1.1 ± 0.7 (entry point) and 1.3 ± 0.7 mm (apex); mean angular deviation was 2.4 ± 1.5°).

Background: Digital planning and the use of a static surgical guide for implant placement provide predictability and safety for patients and practitioners. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in the accuracy and fit of long and short guides. Methods: In patients with at least one missing tooth, long (supported by the entire dental arch) and short templates (supported by two teeth, mesial and distal) were compared via intraoral scans and the superimposition of the STL files of the initial planning and the actual position in the patient’s mouth along the X-, Y- and Z-axes. Furthermore, this study evaluated the conditions (e.g., mouth opening, the implant position) under which fully guided implantation can be realized. Results: The largest deviation was observed in the Z-axis, although this deviation was not as high for the short templates (0.2275 mm) as it was for the long templates (0.4007 mm). With respect to the 3D deviation (dXYZ), the average deviation from the mean value was 0.2953 mm for the short guides and 0.4360 mm for the long guides (p = 0.002). The effect size (Cohen’s d) was 0.709, which was between the medium (0.50) and large effect sizes (0.80). The shorter templates showed a smaller deviation from the actual plan by 80%. With a mouth opening ≥50 mm, fully guided surgery can be performed in the molar region. In the premolar region, the lower limit was 32 mm. Conclusions: The 3D accuracy was significantly higher for the shorter template, which could therefore be favored.

Full textAbstract:
The accuracy of static guided implant surgery (sGIS) using conventional planning workflow has been extensively examined; however, more information is required to justify the application of fully digital planning protocol. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical accuracy of sGIS with a fully digital planning workflow. Twenty-one partially edentulous patients were enrolled in this prospective study. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scans were taken and superimposed by matching the dental surface images directly (surface registration protocol) or by matching fiducial markers on a stereolithographic (SLA) radiographic template fabricated from the digital data of the intraoral scan (fiducial marker registration protocol). Virtual implant treatment plans were then determined, and tooth-supported SLA surgical guides were fabricated according to the plans. Twenty-six implant surgeries were performed via the surgical guide by one surgeon. Pre- and post-operative CBCT images were superimposed, and the positional and angular deviations between placed and planned implants were measured with metrology software. A total of 43 fully guided implants were placed, in which 25 implants were planned with the surface registration protocol. Implants planned based on the surface registration protocol had a larger mean angular deviation than the fiducial marker registration protocol. No significant differences were found for any deviations of the examined variables. Within the limits of this study, we concluded that the clinical accuracy of the sGIS planned with a fully digital workflow was consistent with the conventional workflow for partially edentulous patients.

Abstract Background and study aims Colonoscopy can be technically challenging and cause discomfort in patients. The integrated Scope Guide assist is built in to show that with its use outcomes are improved during colonoscopy. We aimed to test the usefulness of the Magnetic Scope Guide Assist (ScopeGuide) with respect to cecal intubation time, and other procedural quality outcomes. Patients and methods We conducted a prospective study of outpatients undergoing elective colonoscopy at the endoscopic units of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) from March 2016 to July 2016. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 block design to groups that either had standard colonoscopy or Scope-guided colonoscopy. The primary outcome measure was cecal intubation time (CIT). Secondary outcome measures included use of manual pressure, position changes for cecal intubation and sedation requirements. Results Three hundred patients were randomized to either group; standard (n = 150) vs. Scope-guided (n = 150). The mean CIT was not statistically different for the standard and the Scope-guided groups (4.6 vs. 4.3 minutes; P = 0.46). There were also no statistical differences in frequency of manual pressure applied (16.7 % for Scope-guided vs. 19.1 % for standard; P = 0.65) or position changes (11.4 % for scope guided vs. 8.8 % standard; P = 0.56). Sedation requirements showed lesser use of midazolam (3.9 mg vs. 4.7 mg, P = 0.003) in the Scope-guide group, while there was no significant difference in use of fentanyl (fentanyl – 62.1 mg vs. 68.9 mg, P = 0.09 similar between groups, for Scope-guided vs. standard groups, respectively). Adverse events were similar in both groups. Conclusions In patients undergoing routine elective colonoscopy, use of ScopeGuide by experienced colonoscopists did not improve CIT or affect the frequency of ancillary maneuvers. The benefit of this device during training of endoscopists could be considered for further studies.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) is a common medical problem worldwide. Independent endoscopic risk factors for rebleeding and mortality of NVUGIB that are treatable are stigmata of recent hemorrhage (SRH) and arterial blood flow underneath SRH. The specific aims of this paper are to describe the importance of arterial blood flow detection for risk stratification and as a guide to definitive hemostasis of severe NVUGIB. Methods: This is a review of randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort study methodologies and results which utilized a Doppler endoscopic probe (DEP) for the detection of arterial blood underneath SRH, for risk stratification, and as a guide to definitive hemostasis. The results are compared to visually guided hemostasis based upon SRH. Results: Although SRH have been utilized to guide endoscopic hemostasis of NVUGIB for 50 years, when most visually guided treatments are applied to lesions with major SRH, arterial blood flow underneath SRH is not obliterated in 25–30% of patients and results in rebleeding. Definitive hemostasis, significantly lower rebleeding rates, and improvements in other clinical outcomes resulted when DEP was used for risk stratification and as a guide to obliteration of arterial blood flow underneath SRH. Conclusions: DEP-guided endoscopic hemostasis is a very effective and safe new method to improve patient outcomes for NVUGIB.

Specific objectives: to identify the endogenous knowledge related to the nomenclature of the plant, to identify the endogenous knowledge related to the use of the plant, to collect the seed of Senna obtusifolia. Methodology and results: The survey and collection allowed noting the presence of Senna obtusifolia (Casse fétide) in the studied area and to collect 132 accessions. The ethnobotanical survey allowed the collection of endogenous knowledge related to the plant. The survey unit was the household. Fourteen ethnic groups were encountered in the 237 households surveyed. Phenomena of synonymy, use of the same name by two or more ethnic groups and unexplained names were observed. The species is used in food as well as in medicine. It is also a source of revenues for the local population. Conclusion and application of results: A lot of endogenous knowledge about the species was collected from the local population. This endogenous knowledge will serve as a guide for the development of the species. The 132 accessions collected will be used for other studies such as agromorphological characterization, physico-chemical characterization and molecular genetic characterization in order to better understand its diversity, conserve it and better valorize the species. The present study will thus allow to establish scientific bases for the conservation, the valorisation and the genetic improvement of the species. Keywords: Senna obtusifolia, endogenous knowledge, ethnobotanical study, Burkina Faso.

ObjectivesTo summarise current data on the value of imaging to guide interventional procedures in patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease (RMDs) informing an European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology taskforce.MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to retrieve prospective and retrospective studies published in English and comparing different (imaging) techniques, different settings and procedural protocols to guide interventions in patients with RMDs. MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and Epistemonikos databases were searched through October 2021. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Cochrane RoB tool for randomised trials V.2 (ROB2), the RoB tool for Non-Randomised Studies of Interventions and the appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies.ResultsSixty-six studies were included (most with moderate/high RoB); 49 were randomised controlled trials, three prospective cohort studies and 14 retrospective studies. Fifty-one studies compared either one imaging technique with another imaging technique, or with palpation-guided interventions. Ultrasound (US) was most frequently studied (49/51), followed by fluoroscopy (10/51). Higher accuracy was found for US or fluoroscopy compared with palpation-guided interventions. Studies comparing different imaging techniques (12/51) did not endorse one specific method. Different settings/equipment for imaging-guided procedures (eg, automatic vs manual syringes) were investigated in three studies, reporting heterogeneous results. Fifteen studies compared different imaging-guided procedures (eg, intra-articular vs periarticular injections).ConclusionHigher accuracy of needle positioning at joints and periarticular structures was seen in most studies when using imaging (especially US) guidance as compared with palpation-guided interventions with the limitation of heterogeneity of data and considerable RoB.

Object. The authors describe their initial results obtained using a skull-mounted trajectory guide for intraoperative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging—guided brain biopsy sampling. The device was used in conjunction with a new methodology known as prospective stereotaxis for surgical trajectory alignment. Methods. Between January 1999 and March 2000, 38 patients underwent 40 brain biopsy procedures in which prospective stereotaxis was performed with the trajectory guide in a short-bore 1.5-tesla MR imager. In most cases, orthogonal T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin—echo (HASTE) images were used to determine the desired trajectory and align the device. The surgical trajectory was defined as a line connecting three points: the target, pivot, and alignment stem points. In all cases, surgical specimens were submitted for frozen section and pathological examination. Postoperative turbofluid-attenuated inversion-recovery and gradient-echo images were obtained to exclude the presence of hemorrhage. Trajectory determination and alignment was simple and efficient, requiring less than 5 minutes. Confirmatory HASTE images were obtained along the biopsy needle as it was being advanced or after reaching the target. All biopsy procedures yielded diagnostic tissue. One patient with a lesion near the motor strip experienced a transient hemiparesis of the hand related to passage of the biopsy needle, and another sustained a fatal postoperative myocardial infarction. No patient suffered a clinically significant or radiologically visible hemorrhage. Conclusions. In combination with prospective stereotaxis, the trajectory guide provided a safe and accurate way to perform brain biopsy procedures.

Abstract Introduction: Precision breast conserving surgery (PBCS) requires doctors to precisely remove the tumor while preserving as much normal tissue as possible. The aims of this study were to determine whether wire-guided localization (WGL) combined with multidetector CT (MDCT) guided 3D reconstruction could guide PBCS. Methods: From 2020 to 2022, 31 patients with unifocal breast cancer were enrolled for PBCS guided by WGL combined with MDCT guided 3D reconstruction. Surrounded WGL was performed under local anesthesia, followed by an immediate contrast enhanced MDCT scan. PBCS guided by MDCT guided 3D reconstruction was performed one day after the localization. Women who underwent palpation guided BCS were included as control, and logistic regression analysis was applied. Results: PBCS were performed in 31 patients. The mean tumor size in US was 19.48±5.86mm (9-32mm). Compare with control group, a smaller specimen diameter was observed in PBCS group (P=0.005), and the rate of the largest margin greater than or equal to 20mm were significantly lower (P=0.004). The operation time of PBCS was shortened (P=0.046). Moreover, PBCS does not affect the reoperation rate (P=0.514) or the rate of positive margins (P=0.660). Conclusion: For patients with unifocal breast cancer, WGL combined with MDCT guided 3D reconstruction could guide PBCS without affecting the safety. Table 1.

The aim of this study is to compare the implant placement deviations and evaluate the 1-year post-implant placement bone loss of pilot and fully guided implant placement protocols. In the first method, the pilot drill is used for guide surgery, and the following procedure is a method for performing implant surgery in a non-guided protocol. The second method is to perform fully guided surgery. A total of 74 implants in 20 patients were included. Postoperative CT scans were used to compare the implant placement deviations with the preoperative plan. In addition, bone loss was compared one year after surgery. In shoulder area, the implant deviations from the planned positions for dx(mesio-distal), dy(bucco-lingual), dz(vertical) dimensions, mean deviations with pilot-guided protocol (n = 31) were 0.50 ± 0.42 mm, 0.61 ± 0.55 mm, 0.87 ± 0.71 mm, and 1.33 ± 0.75 mm, respectively. The corresponding deviations for fully guided protocol (n = 41) were 0.50 ± 0.52 mm, 0.29 ± 0.27 mm, 0.56 ± 0.51 mm, and 0.96 ± 0.57 mm. In apical area, the corresponding deviations for pilot-guided protocol were 0.75 ± 0.72 mm, 0.61 ± 0.46 mm, 0.98 ± 0.76 mm, and 1.54 ± 0.87 mm. Deviations for fully guided protocol were 0.91 ± 0.90 mm, 0.44 ± 0.39 mm, 0.54 ± 0.51 mm, and 1.38 ± 0.76 mm, respectively. Angular deviations were 3.33 ± 3.23° with pilot-guided protocol and 3.90 ± 1.85° with fully guided protocol. The average bone loss after 1 year was 0.50 + 0.29 mm and 0.50 ± 0.24 mm, respectively. In the shoulder area, dy(bucco-lingual) of horizontal deviations, vertical deviations, and mean value of the deviations showed a statistically significant difference between fully guided and pilot-guided (p = 0.005, p = 0.033, and p = 0.023, respectively). In the apical area, vertical deviations showed a statistically significant difference. However, the mean value of the deviations did not show a statistically significant difference (p = 0.347). There was no statistically significant difference in angular deviations (p = 0.59).

Full textAbstract:
(1) Background: Pulp canal obliteration (PCO) is a common condition characterized by an abnormal dentinal apposition within the canal wall, which often rises as a consequence of dental trauma. In recent years, “guided endodontics” has offered a reliable and safer procedure for endodontic access in case of PCO. The present case report aims to introduce a new endodontic guided system with a sleeveless, open-frame titanium guide designed to reduce costs compared to traditional templates. (2) Methods: The patient is a 19-year-old female who was referred to a private clinic to treat a calcified and symptomatic tooth (3.3) with apical periodontitis. Following the first unsuccessful treatment attempt using the operating microscope, a three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) examination and an optical impression were performed in agreement with the patient. The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files were sent to the lab for the template packaging, and the patient was scheduled for a second appointment. The endodontic guide was accurately positioned, and shaping and filling were concluded with success. The canal was sealed with the single-cone technique and bioceramic sealer. (3) Results: The patient reported no significant post-operative symptoms. Notably, the treatment achieved total symptom resolution, as evidenced by radiographic assessments conducted 3 and 24 months post-treatment, confirming the procedure’s success. (4) Conclusions: This innovative sleeveless, open-frame static titanium guide presents a promising advancement in guided endodontics for PCO treatment. The advantages include preserving healthy dental tissue, reduced chairside operating time, and cost savings compared to conventional templates. This approach holds promise for enhancing the quality and efficiency of endodontic procedures in cases of PCO. While the static guide holds promise, larger prospective studies are necessary to validate its efficacy, safety, and broader applicability in routine endodontic procedures.

Full textAbstract:
Assessment and feedback are essential components of teaching and learning, serving as tools to evaluate progress, guide improvement, and enhance student outcomes. This study examines prospective teachers' perceptions of assessment and feedback in the teaching-learning process. Using purposive sampling, eight prospective teachers from a private college in Karachi, Sindh, participated in the research. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews guided by an interview protocol and analyzed thematically. The findings revealed four key themes: assessment, formative assessment, summative assessment, and feedback. Participants identified both formative and summative assessments as effective tools for evaluating students' learning and progress. Additionally, timely and actionable feedback emerged as a crucial element in enhancing students' academic performance. The study highlights the significant role of assessment and feedback in fostering a productive learning environment. Based on the results, it is recommended that teacher educators refine their practices by integrating well-structured formative and summative assessments alongside consistent, constructive feedback to better prepare prospective teachers for their roles.

This paper presents an exploratory and descriptive study on the use of the prospective research applied to the design management to generate innovation guided by the meaning. Innovation has been used as a key strategy for growth and maintenance of companies in the competitive market. However, in most cases, the development of innovation is either usually based on technological change, or on traditional market research. The first needs strong investment and time and the second relies only on the needs articulated by today's consumers, what limits the innovative results. In this context, as alternative approach, prospective research is considered a strong strategy, as it anticipates future consumer’s needs. Nevertheless, aiming at the designer’s work, there is a lack of information on how to manage it to foster meaning innovation by searching emerging opportunities using prospecting surveys. Therefore, this work aimed at the proposal of requirements to improve management of design in companies, by the use of prospective research to foster innovation guided by meaning. First, the research was conduct by a bibliographical review, with systematic and unsystematic phases followed by their interpretation and analysis that resulted in a preset of guidelines. From them, a Delphi method was conducted with manager’s and designers’ experts, to reinforce our review them. Confronting the previous results, the work proposes a list of requirements for the strategic, tactic and operational levels of design management. They intend to improve the use of prospective research within design management to generate innovation guided by meaning.

ABSTRACT Aims The present study was conducted in the fertility unit of a medical college to compare the implantation rate of embryo in ultrasound-guided vs clinical touch method of embryo transfer. Today, approximately 80% of women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) will reach the embryo transfer stage with good quality embryos. Traditionally, the ‘clinical touch’ method has been used to guide placement of the embryo transfer. The use of ultrasound to guide embryo transfer would allow accurate and atraumatic positioning of the catheter tip near the uterine fundus. Materials and methods A prospective study was conducted at fertility center of Mahatma Gandhi Hospital. A total 100 patients requiring IVF, from a period of July 2011—July 2013 were taken into the study. A total of 50 patients were subjected to USG-guided embryo transfer and 50 patients were subjected to clinical touch embryo transfer. Detailed patient history, clinical examination, relevant investigation and details of procedure were entered in a prestructured proforma. The data were entered and analyzed in Microsoft Office Excel. Results There was a significant improvement in the implantation rates in the USG-guided group (31.9%) as compared to clinical touch group (24.3%). There was also a significant improvement in the pregnancy rates in the USG-guided group (40%) as compared to the clinical touch group (28%). Compared with the traditional clinical touch method, the abdominal ultrasound-guided embryo transfer was found to have a number of advantages.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety of fiberoptic bronchoscope guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy performed in the intensive care unit.Methods: This was a prospective clinical study done on 30 critically ill patients in Intensive care unit. A puncture was made with 16G cannula at the second or third tracheal interspace which was confirmed by the fiberoptic bronchoscope. This was followed by insertion of guide wire through the cannula followed by insertion of the guiding catheter over the guide wire. The tract was enlarged with white single stage dilator to allow placement of a standard tracheostomy tube. The procedure was continuously monitored with the fiberoptic bronchoscope. Complications were noted during procedure and till patient’s stay in Intensive care unit.Results: The study included 18 (60%) male and 12 (40%) female patients. The mean age was 64.5±8 years. Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy was done early (<10 days) in 10 (33.3%) patients and late (>10 days) in 20 (66.7%) patients. Fentanyl was used for the procedure in all the patients and among them 8 (26.6%) patients required injection rocuronium. Average procedure duration, from incision to suture for 30 patients was 12.6± 2 minutes. Indication for tracheostomy was weaning failure in 22 (73.3%) patients and airway maintenance in 8 (26.6%) patients. The mean duration patient remained on mechanical ventilation was 12.6 days and mean length of stay in critical care unit before shifting to ward was 7.6 days after tracheostomy. Acute postprocedure complications were transient bleed in four patients (13.3%), two (6.7%) had stomal bleeding, one (3%) had tracheal mucosa laceration and another (3%) had subcutaneous emphysema. No cases of stomal infection, pneumothorax, tracheal laceration, paratracheal insertion, pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum. There was no procedure-related mortality.

Introduction: As elsewhere in the world, Quebec (Canada) is currently facing the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 92% of deaths have occurred among people aged over 70, and approximately 100 long-term care (LTC) centers (termed CHSLDs in Quebec) were contaminated. This alarming situation is prompting stakeholders from healthcare networks to investigate the socio-economic repercussions of COVID-19. To the best of our knowledge, there is no valid and reliable tool to measure the costs associated with the management of COVID-19 in CHSLDs. Objectives: This research protocol aims to: i) adapt and validate for use in CHSLDs a combined guide, Cout-COVID19-SLD, developed from 2 guides used in acute care; ii) pilot the Cout-COVID19-SLD guide in CHSLDs and test its feasibility and afterwards resolve any barriers to its administration, and to conduct a partial estimate of costs brought about by COVID-19. Methods: A two-part prospective study will be conducted. Phase 1 will use a Delphi approach with 14 to 17 experts to validate the content of the Cout-COVID19-SLD guide. Phase 2 will pilot test the guide in a cross-sectional study in two CHSLDs. Discussion and conclusion: This study will provide a validated guide for the systematic measurement of costs associated with the management of COVID-19 (costs of preventive measures and costs of illness) in CHSLDs. Finally, this guide will serve as a valid and reliable instrument with which to better plan future research surrounding the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 in CHSLDs.

Full textAbstract:
Dental implant bed preparation involves surgical drilling. Heat generated in this process can cause a temperature elevation beyond the bone damage limit (10 °C), affecting the osseointegration of the implant. Surgical templates ensure accurate implant placement, but they limit the access of the irrigation fluid. This study evaluated the hypothesis that surgical guides with internal cooling prevent bone heating more effectively than classical guides. To eliminate biological variability, this study was conducted on artificial bone pieces that mimic the bone density of the human mandible. We created a surgical template that incorporated four pairs of guides—one classical (CLA) and one with internal cooling (INT) in each pair. For each specimen, we randomly selected the type of surgical guide to start with and performed four osteotomies with a 2.7 mm-diameter drill; then, we widened each hole with a 3.3 mm drill and finalized it with a 3.7 mm drill. The temperature was recorded by thermocouples placed at 0.8 mm from the prospective edge of the final osteotomy. In 168 measurements (12 osteotomies on 14 specimens) conducted for each type of surgical guide, the mean temperature rise was 7.2 ± 4.9 °C (mean ± standard deviation) for CLA and 5.0 ± 3.8 °C for INT. The mean differences between temperature elevations were 1.5 °C, 2.1 °C, and 3.0 °C for the first, second, and third drill, and they were statistically significant: the p-values of Student’s t-test were 0.004, 0.01, and 0.001, respectively. Although the mean temperatures remained safe, temperature rises exceeded 10 °C in 23.8% (9.5%) of the osteotomies performed in the presence of CLA (INT). Taken together, our results suggest that surgical guides with internal cooling ensure a significant drop in the temperature rise caused by implant site drilling.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare, in terms of blood loss and implant alignment, a new generation of smart extramedullary (EM) cutting guides with the conventional intramedullary (IM) guide for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The hypothesis was that the EM system would result in less blood loss and fewer days of hospitalization, while ensuring equal or higher accuracy in the alignment of the femoral implant. Methods Thirty-six patients were enrolled for the present study: 18 patients underwent TKA using the EM guide and for the other 18 patients the IM guide was used. Preoperative and postoperative X-rays were acquired. The preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin values were compared. Lastly, length of hospital stay was recorded. Results The hemoglobin difference was significantly lower in the EM group. The alignment of the prosthetic femoral implant in the two groups was comparable but all patients in the EM cohort had a final alignment within 3 degrees of range on the frontal view, while 22% of the patients in the IM cohort had a final alignment exceeding 3 degrees of range. The mean hospitalization duration showed no significant difference between groups, though EM group showed 1.6 days less compared with IM group. Conclusions The inertial-based EM guide system could be useful for decreasing blood loss compared with conventional guide. This device tended to have better results even in terms of accuracy, but this difference was not significant. Level of Evidence This is a level II, prospective cohort study.

Background: Initiation of a long-term improvement of cardiac risk factors is one of the major aims of a cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention programme. Methods and participants: The Health Guide collected data in terms of cardiac risk factors: blood pressure, resting pulse, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, body weight, physical activity and number of cigarettes at admission and discharge after a stationary rehabilitation programme and every 3 months. After 12 months the Health Guides were returned. In the prospective study 2664 patients (71.8% men, age: MV = 62.94 years, SD = 9.96; 28% women, MV = 67.59 years, SD = 9.53) with coronary heart disease (CHD) were included. Results: All cardiac risk factors documented by the Health Guide improved during the cardiac rehabilitation programme. After one year, risk factors were significantly lower than at admission, apart from total cholesterol. The individual goal in terms of body weight and LDL cholesterol was partially achieved after the rehabilitation programme and maintained after one year. In the investigation years, 2004–2007, the cholesterol and blood pressure were significantly lower than in the years 2000–2003. Conclusion: The use of a Health Guide resulted in an improved long-term effect of a cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention programme. It is a simple and cheap intervention and can help in the guidance of the patients.

Science process and critical thinking skills must be possessed by students as prospective professional teachers. Quality practicum activities with quality teaching materials can improve science process skills and low critical thinking. The practicum guide only asks students to carry out practical activities according to existing procedures, so students cannot build their skills. This study aims to develop an inquiry-based practicum guide that meets the valid, practical, and effective criteria for science process skills and critical thinking. This research is development research based on the Hannafin & Peck model with three stages, namely needs assessment, design, development, and implementation, piloted on a small scale, namely 20 students in basic chemistry courses. The results showed (1) Valid with a value of 3.5. Practical with a score of 3.81 on lecturer activities and 3.3 on student activities. Effective with 90.5% getting a positive response. (2) Science process skills are very good, with a score of 88.54%, and critical thinking skills with the results of hypothesis testing Sig (0.001) > 0.05, while the gain score test is 0.45 in the medium category. This guided inquiry-based practicum guide can be used because students design, formulate hypotheses, and conclude independently to improve their science process and critical thinking skills.

Object. The goal of this study was to compare the freehand technique of catheter placement using external landmarks with the technique of using the Ghajar Guide for this procedure. The placement of a ventricular catheter can be a lifesaving procedure, and it is commonly performed by all neurosurgeons. Various methods have been described to cannulate the ventricular system, including the modified Friedman tunnel technique in which a soft polymeric tube is inserted through a burr hole. Paramore, et al., have noted that two thirds of noninfectious complications have been related to incorrect positioning of the catheter.Methods. Forty-nine consecutive patients were randomized between either freehand or Ghajar Guide—assisted catheter placement. The target was the foramen of Monro, and the course was through the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle approximately 10 cm above the nasion, 3 cm from the midline, to a depth of 5.5 cm from the inner table of the skull. In all cases, the number of passes was recorded for successful cannulation, and pre- and postplacement computerized tomography scans were obtained. Calculations were performed to determine the bicaudate index and the distance from the catheter tip to the target point.Conclusions. Successful cannulation was achieved using either technique; however, the catheters placed using the Ghajar Guide were closer to the target.
