Abstract:
Aims: This study is done to see the maternal and fetal factors associated with isolated oligohydraminos.Methods: It is a retrospective observational study done at Western Regional Hospital Pokhara. All cases of oligohydraminos except those with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, premature rupture of membranes, preterm labour and fetal congenital anomalies were included in the study. SPSS 16 and MS-Excel were used for data entry and analysis. Results were presented as graphs and tables.Results: Sixty cases were enrolled in the study and the mean age was 25.6 years. Oligohydraminos was more prevalent among primigravida compared to multigravida (62% vs. 38%). Half of the women (n=30) delivered in between 37 to 40 weeks of gestation while 47% (n=28) of the women were post dates and two were post term. LSCS was the most common mode of delivery in this study (n=48). Anhydraminos was detected in seven women (12%) during caesarean section and rest had scanty liquor (41 in LSCS and 12 in vaginal delivery). One fifth of them (n=12) had low birth weight and there were no cases of growth retardation. Eighty two percent of women (n=49) had scanty clear liquor while only seven percent (n=4) had meconium stained scanty liquor. One had stillbirth and the rest had Apgar score of six or more including anhydramnios.Conclusions: There were seven cases of anhydraminos and four cases of meconium stained liquor. All the live births had Apgar score of six or more. There was one stillbirth and neonatal admission each while no neonatal death in this study.

Abstract:
Objectives: The majority of patients in India access private sector providers for curative medical services. However, there is scanty information on the cost of treatment of critically ill patients in this setting. The study evaluates the cost and extent of financial subsidy required for patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) in India.Methods: Data on direct medical, direct nonmedical, and indirect cost were prospectively collected from critically ill patients admitted to a tertiary teaching hospital in India. Willingness-to-pay (WTP) amount was obtained from the next-of-kin following admission and the actual cost paid by the family at discharge was recorded.Results: The main diagnoses (n = 499) were infection (26 percent) and poisoning (21 percent). The mean APACHE-II score was 13.9 (95 percent confidence interval [CI], 13.3–14.5); 86 percent were ventilated. ICU stay was 7.8 days (95 percent CI, 7.3–8.3). Hospital mortality was 27.9 percent. Direct medical cost accounted for 77 percent (US$ 2164) of the total treatment cost (US$ 2818). Indirect cost and direct nonmedical cost contributed to 19 percent (US$ 547.5) and 4 percent (US$ 106.5), respectively. Average total and daily ICU cost were US$ 1,897 and US$ 255, respectively. Although the family's WTP was 53 percent (US$ 1146; 95 percent CI, 1090–1204) of direct medical cost, their final contribution was 67.7 percent (US$ 1465; 95 percent CI, 1327–1604).Conclusions: The cost of an ICU admission in our setting is US$ 2818. Although the family's contribution to expenses exceeded their initial WTP, a substantial subsidy (33 percent) is still required. Alternate financing strategies for the poor and optimization of ICU resources are urgently required.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe ageing of Third World populations and its implications for planning in social welfare has received little attention in the literature until now. This article explores the need radically to alter Western models of care for elderly people in an African context, arguing that in situations of mass poverty and gross economic differentiation a concentration on social welfare for urban formal sector employees is inappropriate. Zimbabwe is used as a case study. The situation of the aged in Zimbabwe is analysed from existing but scanty data, and sets of policy proposals that have relevance to the national economy and to the rural, urban and commercial farming sectors are discussed.

Abstract:
Rodenticides such as yellow phosphorus are highly toxic compounds which are commonly used for pest control. Reports of yellow phosphorus poisoning from tropical nations is scanty. In this retrospective study, we report the clinical features, mortality and predictors of mortality among nine patients at a tertiary care centre in south India. Yellow phosphorus consumption was common among a younger age group of patients. The mean duration of presentation after consumption was five days. The most common clinical manifestations seen were abdominal pain and vomiting followed by a depressed sensorium. Features of acute liver failure including coagulopathy were seen in all patients. Despite all patients receiving supportive therapy, a poor outcome or death resulted in the majority. Early referral to a tertiary care centre, meticulous monitoring and supportive measures are key elements of patient management as there are no specific antidotes available at present. Increase in public and physician awareness to the toxin and implementation of preventive policies is of utmost importance.

Abstract:
Background: Menstrual disorders are an important cause of concern among adolescent girls. Most problems are physiological but few have underlying pathology which has adverse effect on the future reproductive health Aim of the study was to know the prevalence and to evaluate the underlying cause of the menstrual problems in adolescent girls seeking medical care.Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted in in 215 adolescent girls aged 13-19 years who sought medical care over a period of 12 months for menstrual complaints from the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Govt. Medical College, Thrissur, a tertiary care center in middle of Kerala, South India. Data was analyzed by SPSS software and p value <0.05 was taken statistically significant.Results: Dysmenorrhea was the most common problem (57.5%), followed by scanty menstruation (35.35%) and 25.2% of girls suffered from premenstrual symptoms. Hypothyroidism was seen in 2.4% of girls 40% were anemic. Statistically significant association was found between hypothyroidism and features of hyperandrogenemia with cycle irregularity. Ultrasonographic evidence of polycystic ovarian morphology was identified among 61.9% girls with irregular cycles.Conclusions: Even though majority of menstrual issues are self-limiting proper evaluation and follow up for medical disorders like hypothyroidism and anemia are important and appropriate intervention is crucial for future reproductive and general health of adolescents presenting with Menstrual disorders.

Abstract:
Education is one of the crucial social development variables especially for mothers which enriches their mind about their social and reproductive experiences and broadens their understanding to make better choices for themselves and rearing and bearing of their children. In many developing countries there is evidence that mother's education plays an important role in determining child mortality even in situations where the medical facilities are scanty [Berrera (1990); Caldwell (1979, 1981)]. Education, it is argued influences women's beliefs about the good health, causes and cures of diseases that increases the demand of the utilisation of modern health care facilities. Therefore, educated mothers are more likely to seek medical treatment for themselves and for their children resulting in higher intensity of the use of a better quality modern care that grows with the advancement of education. Evidence from the research done elsewhere suggests that mother's education has individual positive effect on the use of health care facilities Abbas and Walker (1986); Berrera (1990) and Caldwell (1979) have pointed out that educated mothers are more likely to take advantage of the modern health facilities than their uneducated counterparts in compliance to the recommended treatments primarily due to the different attitudes in regard to the knowledge and perceptions of the importance of the modern medicine in the care of their children. Berrera (1990) in a study of child nutrition in the Philippines found that the children of educated mothers took more advantage of the public health care facilities than the children of uneducated mothers.

Abstract:
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a fairly common soft tissue sarcoma among children. Genitourinary rhabdomyosarcoma accounts for one tenth of rhabdomyosarcomas in the West African sub-region. However, its occurrence and management are yet to be reported in our resource limited study setting. Care of such patients could be a daunting task. A comprehensive paediatric oncology service should be advocated to optimize the chances of survival. A seven-month old boy was referred to our facility on account of posterior urethral valve. A week’s complaint of crying on micturition, with associated passage of scanty urine and irritability, although he was apparently well since birth with no urinary complaints. A suprapubic mass was palpated on abdominal examination. Digital rectal examination revealed a nodular pelvic mass. Open cystostomy done and histopathology showed embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder. Chemotherapy was commenced on a modified Malignant Mesenchymal Tumour protocol of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology group. The mass was reduced by a third after six cycles of chemotherapy. In resource limited settings, the management of paediatric genitourinary rhabdomyosarcoma, using multidisciplinary and multimodal approach to include the hub for comprehensive paediatric oncology services should be advocated to optimize chances of survival.

Abstract:
Background. Reports are scanty on the impact of long primary care interval in breast cancer. Exploratory reports in Nigeria and other low-middle-income countries suggest detrimental impact. The primary aim was to describe the impact of long primary care interval on breast cancer progression, and the secondary aim was to describe the factors perceived by patients as the reason(s) for long intervals. Method. Questionnaire-based survey was used in 9 Nigerian tertiary institutions between May 2017 and July 2018. The study hypothesis was that the majority of patients stayed >30 days, and the majority experienced stage migration in primary care interval. Assessment of the impact of the length of interval on tumor stage was done by survival analysis technique, and clustering analysis was used to find subgroups of the patient journey. Results. A total of 237 patients presented to primary care personnel with tumor ≤5cm (mean 3.4±1.2cm). A total of 151 (69.3%, 95% CI 62.0-75.0) stayed >30 days in primary care interval. Risk of stage migration in primary care interval was 49.3% (95% CI 42.5%-56.3%). The most common reasons for long intervals were symptom misinformation and misdiagnosis. Clustering analysis showed 4 clusters of patients’ experience and journey: long interval due to distance, long interval due to misinformation, long interval due to deliberate delaying, and not short interval—prepared for treatment. Conclusion. The majority of patients stayed longer than 30 days in primary care interval. Long primary care interval was associated with a higher risk of stage migration, and more patients reported misinformation and misdiagnosis as reasons for a long interval.

Abstract:
The purpose of this bachelor's thesis in social work has been to examine whether society's perception of poverty and poor people has changed over the more than 160 years have passed since the first national Poor regulation was enacted in Sweden. With a social constructionist approach and inspired by the critical discourse analysis we have conducted two studies to find answers to what differences and similarities between the concepts of scanty care (1847) and standards of living (2002). A study based on previous research was conducted to examine how society's perception of poverty has changed and designed in a historical perspective. We also conducted a textual analysis of relevant legal texts and legislative history to show how these texts reflect the society's official view of poverty based interventions targeted to poor people. The two sub-studies show that the concepts at different times in history has been crucial for the community support poor people were entitled to. Our overall conclusion is that despite today's advanced social policy there are many obvious similarities between the concepts of scanty care and standards of living. For example, there are similarities in the conjecture-driven individuals for warranted to support and which counterclaims society put on the individuals who are in need of society's ultimate financial safety net.

Abstract:
The project focuses on the packaging process of the smart card manufacturing industry. The idea of the project concerns how to increase production packaging efficiency by introducing a control system. After taking an in-depth look at the current production environment, the following system goals were defined: packaging time reduction, cost reduction, decrease in human errors, and reducing the number of customer complaints. To achieve these goals, the thesis project was divided into the following tasks: discovering a feasible solution, actual system development, testing, and evaluation. The proposed system is based on hardware (i.e. barcode scanner, and barcode printer) integrated with customized control software. The barcode scanner acts as a bridge between the system and the production process by scanning a barcode printed on each product. The system prints the required information label for the product’s package according to the scanned product. This label is pasted on the product’s box and is used as a tracking tool during further production steps. The system is very flexible and suits any packaging model. Other functional properties maintained in the system include data security, product traceability, and real time production monitoring. Testing of the system was done in an actual production environment at an Oberthur Technologies manufacturing site. Two production lines were selected to test the system’s functionality, specifically the SIM card production packaging line and the Scratch card/ Bank Card production packaging line. The results obtained during the evaluation phase of the proposed system show that the proposed solution decreased the packaging processing time by (27.3%) over the previous values. Moreover, the resulting human error rate is close to (zero%).
Projektet fokuserar på förpackningen processen smartkortet tillverkningsindustrin. Tanken med projektet handlar om hur att öka effektiviteten produktionen förpackningar genom att införa ett styrsystem. Efter att ha tagit en fördjupad titt på den nuvarande produktionsmiljö, var följande systemkrav mål definieras: nedsättning förpackning tid, minskade kostnader, minskad mänskliga fel och minska antalet kundklagomål. För att uppnå dessa mål var examensarbetet indelad i följande uppgifter: att upptäcka en genomförbar lösning, faktisk systemutveckling, testning och utvärdering. Det föreslagna systemet bygger på hårdvara (dvs streckkodsläsare och streckkod skrivare) integreras med skräddarsydd styrprogram. Den streckkodsläsare fungerar som en bro mellan systemet och produktionsprocessen genom att läsa en streckkod tryckt på varje produkt. Systemet skriver den erforderliga informationen etiketten för produktens förpackning enligt den scannade produkten. Denna etikett klistras in på produktens ask och används som ett verktyg för spårning under ytterligare produktionssteg. Systemet är mycket flexibelt och passar varje förpackning modell. Andra funktionella egenskaper bibehålls i systemet inkluderar datasäkerhet, spårbarhet och i realtid övervakning av produktionen. Testning av systemet gjordes i en verklig produktionsmiljö i ett Oberthur Technologies tillverkningsanläggning. Två produktionslinjer valdes för att testa systemets funktionalitet, särskilt i SIM-kortet produktionen förpackning linje och skrapkort / Bank kortproduktion förpackningslinje. De resultat som erhållits under utvärderingsfasen av det föreslagna systemet visar att den föreslagna lösningen minskade tiden förpackningen behandling av (27,3 %) jämfört med föregående värden. Dessutom är den resulterande mänskliga fel som ligger nära (noll %).

Montanari, Giovanni. "Deep Transfer Learning for Automated Detection of Spinal Lesions from CT scans." Master's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2021.

Abstract:
In this thesis we implement an automated Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) system for spine lesions using Computed Tomographies (CTs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). To this end, we conceptualize an algorithmic approach for the whole process of extraction and processing of the vertebrae from CT scans, which also manages the detection step for the whole vertebral body. For training and testing purposes, we generated a dataset composed of several CTs in collaboration with the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Insitute of Bologna, Italy. The vertebrae, either healthy or containing lesions (e.g. metastases, primary tumors, lytic and sclerotic lesions) were extracted from CT scans with a toolbox developed ad hoc to automatize the process. The resulting dataset is composed of slices from the previously extracted volumes containing the vertebrae. Slices were processed with contrast enhancement and data augmentation techniques, and subsequently used to train the Neural Network. For the purpose of detection, we perform an in-depth comparative study by implementing 4 pre-trained networks and exploiting Transfer Learning techniques. To prove the great advantages of Transfer Learning, we show how the pre-trained networks outperform a network trained from scratch, reaching 95.97% accuracy and F1 score of 94.22%. Finally, we equip the CADe system with an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) to allow physicians to use the automated detection software as a support tool for diagnoses on new patients.

Abstract:
Background: Computed tomography (CT) imaging is an indispensable tool in the management of acute paediatric illness. It offers quick answers, allowing timely lifesaving decision-making. Clinical evidence is required to maximise its benefits against radiation-exposure risks to patients and cost to the healthcare system. Aims: The study aimed to retrospectively investigate clinical presentation and indications of head CT at a tertiary paediatric hospital. Methods: Records of children presenting with acute illness to the medical emergency unit, excluding trauma, of Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, Cape Town, over one year (2013) were retrospectively reviewed. Participants were included if they underwent head CT scan within 24 hours of presentation. Clinical data were extracted from records and CT findings reported by a paediatric radiologist. Results: Inclusion criteria were met by 311 patients; 188 (60.5%) were boys. The median age was 39.2 (IQR 12.6-84.0) months. Commonest indications were seizures (n=169;54.3%), reduced level of consciousness (n=140;45.0%), headache (n=74;23.8%) and suspected ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) malfunction (n=61;19.7%). In 217 (69.8%) patients CT showed no adverse findings. In the 94 (30.2%) patients in whom CT abnormalities were detected, the predominant findings were hydrocephalus (n=54;57.4%) and cerebral oedema (n=29;30.9%). Abnormal CT findings were commoner in patients with nausea or vomiting (n=21;9.3%, p=0.05) papilloedema (n=3;1.3%, p=0.015) and long tract signs (n=23;10.2%, p=0.02). Forty-seven patients (15.1%) required surgical intervention after CT of which 40 (85.1%) needed a ventricular drainage procedure. A larger proportion of patients with VPS (25/62;40.3%) required surgical intervention compared to patients without VPS (22/249;8.8%, p <0.001) Conclusion: Most children presenting with acute illness (excluding trauma) and undergoing emergency head CT have normal findings. Patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts constituted a large proportion of patients requiring intervention after CT. Considerations should be made to use clinical presentation to select patients most likely to benefit from CT.

Abstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
O aumento exponencial dos gastos em saúde demanda estudos econômicos que subsidiem as decisões de agentes públicos ou privados quanto à incorporação de novas tecnologias aos sistemas de saúde. A tomografia de emissão de pósitrons (PET) é uma tecnologia de imagem da área de medicina nuclear, de alto custo e difusão ainda recente no país. O nível de evidência científica acumulada em relação a seu uso no câncer pulmonar de células não pequenas (CPCNP) é significativo, com a tecnologia mostrando acurácia superior às técnicas de imagem convencionais no estadiamento mediastinal e à distância. Avaliação econômica realizada em 2013 aponta para seu custo-efetividade no estadiamento do CPCNP em comparação à estratégia atual de manejo baseada no uso da tomografia computadorizada, na perspectiva do SUS. Sua incorporação ao rol de procedimentos disponibilizados pelo SUS pelo Ministério da Saúde (MS) ocorreu em abril de 2014, mas ainda se desconhecem os impactos econômico-financeiros decorrentes desta decisão. Este estudo buscou estimar o impacto orçamentário (IO) da incorporação da tecnologia PET no estadiamento do CPCNP para os anos de 2014 a 2018, a partir da perspectiva do SUS como financiador da assistência à saúde. As estimativas foram calculadas pelo método epidemiológico e usaram como base modelo de decisão do estudo de custo-efetividade previamente realizado. Foram utilizados dados nacionais de incidência; de distribuição de doença e acurácia das tecnologias procedentes da literatura e de custos, de estudo de microcustos e das bases de dados do SUS. Duas estratégias de uso da nova tecnologia foram analisadas: (a) oferta da PET-TC a todos os pacientes; e (b) oferta restrita àqueles que apresentem resultados de TC prévia negativos. Adicionalmente, foram realizadas análises de sensibilidade univariadas e por cenários extremos, para avaliar a influência nos resultados de possíveis fontes de incertezas nos parâmetros utilizados. A incorporação da PET-TC ao SUS implicaria a necessidade de recursos adicionais de R$ 158,1 (oferta restrita) a 202,7 milhões (oferta abrangente) em cinco anos, e a diferença entre as duas estratégias de oferta é de R$ 44,6 milhões no período. Em termos absolutos, o IO total seria de R$ 555 milhões (PET-TC para TC negativa) e R$ 600 milhões (PET-TC para todos) no período. O custo do procedimento PET-TC foi o parâmetro de maior influência sobre as estimativas de gastos relacionados à nova tecnologia, seguido da proporção de pacientes submetidos à mediastinoscopia. No cenário por extremos mais otimista, os IOs incrementais reduzir-se-iam para R$ 86,9 (PET-TC para TC negativa) e R$ 103,9 milhões (PET-TC para todos), enquanto no mais pessimista os mesmos aumentariam para R$ 194,0 e R$ 242,2 milhões, respectivamente. Resultados sobre IO, aliados às evidências de custo-efetividade da tecnologia, conferem maior racionalidade às decisões finais dos gestores. A incorporação da PET no estadiamento clínico do CPCNP parece ser financeiramente factível frente à magnitude do orçamento do MS, e potencial redução no número de cirurgias desnecessárias pode levar à maior eficiência na alocação dos recursos disponíveis e melhores desfechos para os pacientes com estratégias terapêuticas mais bem indicadas.
The exponential increase in health spending requires economic studies, in order to support decisions of public or private agents related to the incorporation of new technologies to health systems. Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging technology in the field of nuclear medicine, of high cost and still recent in the country. Scientific evidence accumulated in relation to its use in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is significant, and technology proves to be of higher accuracy than conventional imaging techniques in mediastinal and distance staging. Economic evaluation conducted in 2013 indicates its cost-effectiveness in NSCLC staging compared to current management strategy based on the use of computed tomography (CT) in the perspective of the Brazilian Health System (SUS). It was incorporated to the list of procedures available through SUS by Ministry of Health (MoH) in April, 2014; however, the economic and financial impacts of this decision are still unknown. This study aimed to estimate the budgetary impact (BI) of the incorporation of PET in NSCLC staging for 2014 to 2018 from the perspective of SUS as the financier of health care. Estimates were calculated by the epidemiological method, and used as basis decision model from previous cost-effectiveness study. National data on incidence of the disease; distribution of prevalence of the disease and technologies accuracy from literature; and costs from microcosting study and SUS database were used. Two strategies of use of the new technology were analyzed: offer (a) to all patients, and (b) restricted to those with negative result of CT. Additionally, univariate and extreme scenarios sensitivity analysis were performed to assess the influence on the results of possible sources of uncertainty in the parameters used. The incorporation of PET-CT to SUS implies the need of additional resources from R$ 158.1 (limited offer) to 202.7 million (comprehensive offer) in five years, and the difference between the two strategies is R$ 44.6 million in the period. In absolute terms, the total BI would be of R$ 555 million (PET-CT for negative CT) and R$ 600 million (PET-CT for all) in the period. The cost of the procedure PET-CT was the most influential parameter on the expenditures estimates related to new technology, followed by the proportion of patients undergoing mediastinoscopy. In the most optimistic extreme scenario, incremental BI would drop to R$ 86.9 (PET-CT for negative CT) and R$ 103.9 million (PET-CT for all), while in the most pessimistic scenario it would increase to R$ 194.0 and R$ 242.2 million, respectively. Results of BI, combined with evidence of cost-effectiveness of the technology gives greater rationality to the final decisions of policymakers. The incorporation of PET in NSCLC staging seems financially feasible when faced to the magnitude of the MoH budget, and potential reduction in the number of unnecessary surgeries can lead to more efficient allocation of resources and better outcomes for patients with better indicated therapeutic strategies.

Abstract:
Pregnancy and birth are not only physiological processes but also socially and culturally organized events. Pregnancy is an individual experience as well as the focus of collective concerns and values. In this dissertation the pregnant body is understood as an arena of social truths and contesting perspectives: a public stage where different perspectives on medical technology, risk and gender are acted out. Swedish maternity care dominates the arena, and women have to adjust to the authority of medical knowledge. This, however, does not mean that women comply without questions. As the study shows they struggle for voice and agency which is reflected in pregnant women’s differing views and uses of biomedical knowledge and technology. Although the discourse on pregnancy and birth is highly ideological and marked by strong opinions, pregnant women in practice tend to be motivated by pragmatics rather than ideology. In order to understand the complexities and nuances of reproductive culture in Sweden, we need to move beyond distinctions such as the one between technology and the body, and instead focus on the experiential world of pregnant women in which technology is an integral part in everyday life and therefore taken for granted rather than problematised. The thesis is based on fieldwork at a maternity care center and interviews with pregnant women. Furthermore, discussion groups on the Internet and debates in mass media have been valuable sources of information.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Social relationships, habitat utilisation and life history characteristics provide a framework which enables the survival of populations in fluctuating ecological conditions. An understanding of behavioural ecology is critical to the implementation of Natural Resource Management strategies if they are to succeed in their conservation efforts during the emergence of climate change. Egernia whitii from Wedge Island in the Spencer Gulf of South Australia were used as a model system to investigate the interaction of life history traits, scat piling behaviour and chemosensory communication in social lizards. Juveniles typically took ¡Ý 3 years to reach sexual maturity and the results of skeletochronological studies suggested longevity of ¡Ý 13 years. Combined with a mean litter size of 2.2, a pregnancy rate estimated at 75% of eligible females during short-term studies, and highly stable groups, this information suggests several life history features. Prolonged juvenile development and adult longevity may be prerequisite to the development of parental care. Parental care may, in turn, be the determining factor that facilitates the formation of small family groups. In E. whitii parental care takes the form of foetal and neonatal provisioning and tolerance of juveniles by small family or social groups within established resource areas. Presumably, resident juveniles also benefit from adult territorialism. Research on birds suggests that low adult mortality predisposes cooperative breeding or social grouping in birds, and life history traits and ecological factors appear to act together to facilitate cooperative systems. E. whitii practice scat piling both individually and in small groups. Social benefits arising from signalling could confer both cooperative and competitive benefits. Permanent territorial markers have the potential to benefit conspecifics, congenerics and other species. The high incidence of a skink species (E. whitii) refuging with a gecko species (N. milii) on Wedge Island provides an example of interspecific cooperation. The diurnal refuge of the nocturnal gecko is a useful transient shelter for the diurnal skink. Scat piling may release a species ¡®signature¡¯ for each group that allows mutual recognition. Scat piling also facilitates intraspecific scent marking by individual members, which has the potential to indicate relatedness, or social or sexual status within the group. The discovery of cloacal scent marking activity is new to the Egernia genus. E. Whitii differentiate between their own scats, and conspecific and congeneric scats. They scent mark at the site of conspecific scats, and males and females differ in their response to scent cues over time. Scat piling has the potential to make information concerning the social environment available to dispersing transient and potential immigrant conspecifics, enabling settlement choices to be made. This thesis explores some of the behavioural strategies employed by E. whitii to reduce risks to individuals within groups and between groups. Scents eliciting a range of behavioural responses relevant to the formation of adaptive social groupings, reproductive activity, and juvenile protection until maturity and dispersal are likely to be present in this species. Tests confirming chemosensory cues that differentiate sex, kin and age would be an interesting addition to current knowledge. The interaction of delayed maturity, parental care, sociality, chemosensory communication and scat piling highlights the sophistication of this species¡¯ behaviour. An alternative method for permanently marking lizards was developed. Persistence, reliability and individual discrimination were demonstrated using photographic identification and the method was shown to be reliable for broad-scale application by researchers. Naturally occurring toe loss in the field provided a context against which to examine this alternative identification method and revealed the need to further investigate the consequences of routine toe clipping, as this practice appears to diminish survivorship.

Abstract:
Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Emergency Medicine and Resuscitation (Oxford Clinical Imaging Guides) focuses on the day-to-day utility of point-of-care ultrasound in emergency medicine. The book explains how clinicians can safely and accurately use ultrasound for the diagnosis and management of shock, acute presentations, and phases of key conditions. The book begins with a summary of cardiac ultrasound before continuing through the chest, moving down to the abdomen, and finally considers the major vessels and soft tissues. Paediatric and pre-hospital ultrasound, as well as practical procedures, are also addressed. Each chapter begins at a basic level and moves on to higher-level skills. The book is highly illustrated with annotated diagrams showing structures and explaining how to interpret findings. The text is written in a user-friendly fashion with short paragraphs and headings. Technical terminology is explained throughout. A short section in each chapter outlines ‘core’ and ‘advanced’ applications. Each chapter has a clear ‘how to scan’ summary. The book reflects the content and skills included in current curricula for ultrasound use in national and international emergency medicine.

Abstract:
The creation of civic subdivisions is a relevant chapter in any discussion of archaic Greek citizenship. The Spartan case is particularly interesting because, although extremely scanty, the sources testify to an early effort to organize the citizen body into formal structures. Contrary to the dominant model, which has the Spartans distributed into two transversal structures of civic membership, one kinship-based (the three Dorian phylai) and the other one territorial (the alleged five obai), here a new model is proposed. An examination of the relevant evidence shows, in fact, that the obai were an internal subdivision of the phylai. While being a member of these civic subdivisions was a prerequisite for citizenship, social cohesion was strengthened by participation in collective practices whereby the members of the Spartan community recognized each other as fellow citizens.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of diagnostic studies in patients with haemoptysis is two-fold—locate the source of bleeding and identify the underlying cause. A chest X-ray may be informative regarding conditions involving the lung parenchyma, pulmonary vasculature, or the heart, but may be normal in 20–40% of cases. A chest CT scan may allow correct localization of the bleeding site in 65–100% of cases. Contrast-enhanced CT scans allow high resolution angiographic studies that may be useful prior to planning bronchial arterial embolization. Bronchoscopy may allow identification of the site of bleeding, identify the underlying cause, help clear the airways from blood clots favouring gas exchange, and be a means to stop the bleeding. Treatment of haemoptysis varies from outpatient management to intensive care unit admittance. Choice of optimal management depends on the intensity of bleeding, degree of respiratory compromise, and severity of underlying cardiorespiratory status. Important steps in the management of patients with massive haemoptysis include resuscitation, airway protection and patient stabilization as the priority, subsequent localization of the site of bleeding, and specific interventions to stop the bleeding and prevent recurrence. Bronchoscopy may be useful in stopping bleeding through use of cold saline lavage, use of topical vasoconstrictive agents, or temporary endobronchial tamponade with a balloon catheter. The procedure of choice in many cases is selective bronchial artery embolization. With this procedure immediate control of bleeding may be obtained in 70–95% of patients, although recurrence has been reported in 10–30% of cases.

Full text
Abstract:
Looking at differences in electoral outcome in first- and second-order elections, there is only scant evidence that the second-order approach holds when translated to and tested on the micro level. We present a more nuanced framework that distinguishes between direct and indirect contextual effects as implicit elements of the original second-order approach. Applying our framework to Länder and federal elections in Germany, we show that electoral behavior does not differ—there is no direct effect of the second-order arena. However, the analysis makes a strong case for an indirect effect that refers to the importance of first-order factors for their second-order counterparts. The first-order arena strongly influences individuals’ perceptions of the second-order arena and this indeed speaks in favor of a substantively revised second-order approach.

Full text
Abstract:
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is defined as an acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma in someone who has not recently had close contact with the health care system. Common presentations include abrupt fever and chills, productive cough, purulent sputum, dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, and the absence of rhinorrhea and sore throat. Prompt antibiotics and admission to the correct level of care are essential in emergency management. Chest radiographs and dry computed tomography (CT) scans can be extremely useful in confirming the diagnosis of CAP in immunocompetent patients. Assessment of the airway, breathing, and circulation is essential. Adequate fluid resuscitation, early appropriate antibiotics, and careful attention to monitoring are still mainstays of treatment. Clinical decision tools like CURB-65 and PORT score can help identify low-risk patients when making decisions about whether or not to admit.

This chapter analyzes Porter's performing style by drawing on published reports and eyewitness accounts of his abilities. It compares aspects of his performances with those of some of his favorite singers in order to identify shared stylistic elements, as well as ways in which his interpretations were unique. Though it will be impossible to appreciate the full measure of Porter's art from the scant historical evidence that documented his performing, we certainly have more to work with than is the case with Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Vincent Youmans, and Richard Rodgers. The recordings not only make it possible to reconcile Porter's reputation as a performer with the evidence he left behind but also give us a rare opportunity to gain some insight into the interpretive qualities Porter was accustomed to and was able to bring out in the performance of his music.

AbstractThis chapter presents the main areas of engagement of the state of Senegal with its diaspora. In the first part, it looks at the main institutions and policies geared towards the diaspora. In the second part, the chapter focuses specifically on diaspora policies in the area of social protection (unemployment, health care, family benefits, pensions, guaranteed minimum resources). If Senegal falls in the category of pioneer countries for some aspects of emigration policies (ministerial institutions, external voting, political representation), its policy for the diaspora in the field of social protection is rather scanty. As a developing country facing many structural economic issues, scaling up social protection in the homeland remains the top priority for the Government, relegating social protection for the diaspora as a secondary policy concern for now. Recent governmental policies towards the diaspora have focused primarily on tapping the resources of the diaspora in order to increase its contribution to economic development and facilitate productive investment by Senegalese abroad in their home country.

Full text
Abstract:
The bone mineral density (BMD) in a given fracture site may affect the outcome of fracture fixation. Low BMD values, such as those occurring in osteoporotic bone, can determine the fixation method and the postoperative care. Evaluation of the BMD is either done subjectively during surgery or by a preoperative measurement. The technique most commonly used to measure BMD preoperatively is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). DEXA scans have been shown to be site specific [1,2] and therefore may be inaccurate in determining local BMD at the fixation site. Furthermore, in trauma cases, patients frequently do not present with a pre-operative DEXA scan; and the ideal method of assessment would be intraoperative. Intraoperative BMD assessment could be used to guide surgical decisions such as the point of entry of a screw for a fracture plating system or use of locking versus non-locking screw-plate contruct.
