Abstract:

Abstract A prospective multi-institutional study was carried out to evaluate automated percutaneous discectomy in the treatment of lumbar disc herniations. Of the 327 patients who prospectively met the study criteria and were followed for longer than 1 year, 75.2% were successfully treated. When patients (n = 168) who prospectively did not meet the study criteria were treated, the success rate was 49.4%. One case of discitis was reported; otherwise, no other serious complications were noted, and specifically no vascular or nerve damage was encountered. This study indicates that automated percutaneous discetomy can be used successfully to treat lumbar disc herniations with minimal morbidity and emphasizes the need for proper patient selection.

Abstract:

Introduction: Intussusception is the commonest cause of bowel obstruction in infancy and childhood. The present study deals with the presentation, management and outcome of children presenting with intussusception at the Department of Surgery, B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal. Materials and Methods: Forty-seven children presenting at Department of Surgery, B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences over a 5-year period were prospectively studied. Results: There were 27 (58.6%) males and 20 (41.4%) females, with male-to-female ratio of 1.4:1. The ages ranged from 2 months to 13 years, with a median age of 30 months. The mean duration of presentation was 10.7 ± 30.66 days (range 1-180 days). The triad of abdominal pain, bloody mucoid stools and palpable abdominal mass was seen in 10 (21%) of the cases. Surgical exploration was done in 42 (89.3%) patients. The commonest lead point was non-specific hyperplastic lymph nodes, occurring in 22 (54.3%), followed by idiopathic variety (16.6%), Meckel's diverticulum (9.5%), ileocaecal junction (7.1%), submucous lipoma (4.7%), Non- Hodgkin's lymphoma (4.7%), appendix (2.3%) and a mucosal polyp (2.3%). Overall mortality rate was 6.3%. Conclusion: The presenting age group and the time of presentation are higher than other studies. The mortality rate of 6.3% is comparable to other studies in the developing world. Earlier presentation could have avoided surgery, with a higher possibility of cases being managed conservatively.

Abstract:

Background: Intestinal obstruction is a major part of the emergency caseload in a general surgical department. It can pose diagnostic and treatment challenges with its varied presentation and multiple management options. The surgeon needs to use astute judgment to spot the diagnosis and plan the line of management. The aim of the study is to show the various etiologies most commonly presenting with intestinal obstruction in our institute in north Chennai. It also aims to evaluate markers of postoperative morbidity.Methods: This is a prospective study of about 50 patients with acute intestinal obstruction coming to the emergency department of the Government Stanley Medical College and Hospital from the time the patients were admitted they were followed up till their time of discharge/ death. X-ray abdomen erect and supine and CECT abdomen and pelvis were routinely taken for all the patients.Results: X-ray abdomen supine showed multiple air fluid levels as the commonest finding which was seen in 42 cases, 27 cases had dilated bowel loops and 2 cases showed coffee bean appearance. 6 cases had fluid levels less than 3 and were deemed in 49 cases and was inconclusive in 1 case to be inconclusive. CECT showed features of obstruction or pathological obstruction point.Conclusions: Corrections of dehydration and rapid resuscitation with correction of electrolyte disturbances would go a long way in reducing morbidity and mortality. Surgical intervention in a timely manner is the treatment of choice and prognosis is good when it is not delayed.

Abstract:

TPS11122 Background: Patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) are often treated with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy to reduce the size of the tumor before definitive surgery. Complete pathologic Response (pCR) predicts better long term outcome. Genomics assays that measure specific gene expression patterns in a patient's primary tumor have become important prognostic and predictive tools for early breast cancer. This study is designed to test the ability of molecular profiling, as well as traditional pathologic and clinical prognostic factors to predict responsiveness to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with LABC. Methods: Women ≥ 18 yrs with histologically-proven invasive breast cancer T2(≥3.5cm)-T4,N0M0 or T2-T4N1M0, with measurable disease, adequate bone marrow reserves and normal renal and hepatic function who signed informed consent are enrolled. Axillary lymph nodes will be staged according to protocol. MammaPrint risk profile, BluePrint molecular subtyping profile, TargetPrint ER, PR and HER2 single gene readout, and the 56-gene TheraPrint Research Gene Panel will be analysed using the whole genome expression array. Patients will receive neo-adjuvant chemotherapy treatment according to protocol. Response will be measured by centrally assessed Residual Cancer Burden (RCB). Objectives are: (1) To determine the predictive power of MammaPrint and BluePrint for sensitivity to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy as measured by pCR. (2) To identify and/or validate predictive gene expression profiles of clinical response or resistance to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. (3) To compare TargetPrint ER, PR and HER2 with local and centralized IHC and/or CISH/FISH assessment. (4) To identify correlations between TheraPrint and response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. (5) To compare BluePrint molecular subtype with IHC-based subtype classification. To achieve a difference of 20% in chemotherapy sensitivity for patients stratified by MammaPrint, a total of 226 samples is needed (significance level 0.05 and power of 0.90). So far 45 patients have been enrolled from multiple institutions. Clinical trial information: NCT01501487.

Abstract:

Introduction - Morphine is used regularly in day surgery despite its known side-effects. We assessed whether this delayed discharge. Patients and methods - 100 patients were divided into 2 groups: 50 patients received morphine and 50 patients received non-morphine analgesia. Demographic data and reasons for delayed discharge were recorded. Results – 73% of all major cases received morphine compared to only 19% of minor cases. Operative and recovery times were significantly greater in the morphine group. 58% of patients given morphine had a delayed discharge compared to 14% of patients not given morphine. Conclusions - Morphine use in day surgery is associated with increased operating and recovery times and higher rates of delayed discharge.

Abstract:

This paper aims to critically evaluate the microfinance approach in social and economic perspective. Critical analysis reveals that microfinance can be used as an efficient tool to reduce poverty, thus contributing towards economic as well as social development. Moreover, paper highlights the role of institutional design and indicates that microfinance institutions working on the lines of non government organizations and following the double bottom line approach performs better than the other institutional frameworks. Joint liability and the role of group leader are eminent in enhancing the performance of these institutions. Poverty can be decreased if microfinance institutions are driven in a more systematic manner keeping in mind primarily the well being of society.

Abstract:

The article challenges the stereotype which underestimates the accomplishments of the national scientists which generate and develop the current institutional and economic dysfunction theory and provide the pragmatic opportunities for the dysfunction theory. The research aims to consider the contribution of the modern Russian institutional economic school into generating and developing the institutional effects theory with the focus on its tool segment - the theory of economic and institutional dysfunctions. Methodologically, the article is based on the economic theory of institutions, provisions of the modern theory of institutional effects, including the institution dysfunctions, management theories for the economic systems of different complexity levels, as well as the comparative analysis, elements of mathematical modeling, and solutions of the differential equations. Tool capabilities of the dysfunction theory are illustrated for the developing of management recommendations, a measurement device is created to identify a dysfunction and to apply it in order to access the quality of the institutions and economic systems, the possibilities for applying the dysfunctions in the institutional modeling are defined. To do this, a function equation for the financial support of the institution is obtained to examine the connections between the institution monetization, the quality of their functions and their dysfunctions. The differences between the lock-in and dysfunction effects which characterize their connections with the categories, including stability, efficiency/inefficiency, institutions’ quality, are specified, and a dysfunction is defined as a dynamically changing condition, while lock-in can be static. The article points out the key prospective developments of the institutional and economic dysfunction theories: 1) better tools for measuring the dysfunctions; 2) evaluation of the institutional efficiency and functional potential of the institutions, as well as the quality of the institutions and economic systems; 3) dysfunction modeling, including at the level of its connection with the macroeconomic parameters. Further research into the Russian institutional school of the economic science is seen in the development of the dysfunction theory and its methodological tools for its application to analyze different socio-economic phenomena.

Abstract:

Background: Platelets are non-nucleated cellular fragments of megakaryocytes, they play a critical role in haemostasis. Thrombocytopenia, defined as blood platelet count below 150.000/μL is the second leading cause of blood disorders in pregnancy after anemia. It complicates 7 to 10% of all pregnancies. Gestational thrombocytopenia explains 70-80% of all cases of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy. Hypertensive disorders account for approximately 20% and immune thrombocytopenic purpura for about 3-4%. Other etiologies are considered rare in pregnancy.Methods: The study was conducted in the tertiary institute over a period of one year, from January 2016 to December 2016. The samples of blood were collected from the Antenatal out-patient department and from indoor patients of the department of gynecology and obstetrics of the J.K. Hospital, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh India.Results: Maximum number of patients had moderate degree of anemia around 58%. Most of the cases presented during 30-34 weeks of gestation. The most common etiology was gestational thrombocytopenia.Conclusions: Thrombocytopenia in pregnancy may occur secondary to a variety of causes. Most of these cases occur during specific periods of gestation. Management of pregnant women with platelet disorders requires a multidisciplinary approach and close collaboration between obstetric and hepatologist.

Abstract:

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly performed laparoscopic surgery worldwide. Safe cholecystectomy is the priority to reduce the morbidity and mortality. There is a paradigm shift from extensive Calot’s dissection to identification of Rouviere’s sulcus and lesser dissection. Identification and analysis of Rouviere’s sulcus will help us doing a safe cholecystectomy and avoiding further injuries to bile ducts.Methods: The study included 160 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, posted in elective OT and identified Rouviere’s sulcus during laparoscopy. Table visual inspection and analysis was done. And the collected data was analyzed for different types of sulcus, its position, morphology and content.Results: Of 160 cases, 147 cases had Rouviere’s sulcus. 13 cases did not have a sulcus. Open type sulcus was present in 99 cases, 35 had closed type, whereas 19 had slit type and only 7 had a scar like sulcus. The study showed 92% of our patients had Rouviere’s sulcus and of them 61.9% had an open type which was the most common type of sulcus of them 18 cases had a visible pulsating vessel in the floor of the sulcus i.e. posterior sectional pedicle in the sulcus.Conclusions: Present study showed, in 92% cases it is easy and approachable to visualise the Rouvier’s sulcus. So, it is feasible and beneficial to identify the sulcus and keep the dissection above this level to avoid common bile duct injury and further complication thereof.

Abstract:

32 Background: The impact of an empiric course of antibiotics for a newly elevated PSA in an asymptomatic male is poorly understood. Methods: Men of any age with a PSA > 2.5 ng/ml and normal digital rectal examination undergoing their first prostate biopsy were recruited from six medical centers. Patients with previous biopsy, prostate cancer, urinary tract infection (UTI) or prostatitis within the prior year, antibiotic use within one month, 5−alpha reductase inhibitor use, allergy to fluoroquinolones or clinical suspicion of UTI were excluded. Men were randomized to two weeks of ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily or no antibiotic. A PSA was obtained 21−45 days following randomization and immediately prior to prostate biopsy. All patients received institution−specific prophylactic peri−procedural antibiotics. Primary endpoint was change in PSA between baseline and on the day of biopsy. The trial was closed early following an interim analysis and decision rule for futility and early stopping. Results: Complete data was available on 77 men with a mean age of 60.6 (IQR: 53.8 – 66.7). In the control group (no antibiotic; n=39), mean baseline and pre−biopsy PSA were 6.5 and 6.9 ng/ml, respectively (p=0.8). In men receiving antibiotic (n=38), mean baseline and pre−biopsy (post−antibiotic) PSA were 7.6 and 8.5 ng/ml, respectively (p=0.7). Prostate cancer was detected in 36 (47%) men. Detection rates did not significantly differ between individuals with an increasing PSA or decreasing PSA between the two measurements. Conclusions: Empiric use of antibiotics for an elevated PSA in an asymptomatic patient is not of clinical benefit.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Cranioplasty is the surgical repair, reconstruction, and replacement of a removed part of the cranium, thus restoring its shape, symmetry, contour, and continuity, which is extremely important from a cosmetic as well as a psychosocial point of view. Continuing advances in cranioplasty techniques have enabled the repair of large and increasingly complicated calvarial defects; however, the optimal reconstructive material for different clinical scenarios still remains unclear and debatable. Aim The aim of this study was to compare risk factors, complications, and the need for reoperation associated with different methods of cranioplasty, which are implemented in our institute. Materials and Methods This study was a prospective study conducted between August 2016 and January 2019 in a tertiary institute. Sixty patients were studied and divided into three groups of which group 1 included 18 patients who underwent cranioplasty using ETO (ethylene oxidation)-sterilized autologous bone graft, group 2 included 17 patients who underwent cranioplasty using autologous bone graft placed in subcutaneous pocket, and group 3 included 25 patients who underwent titanium mesh cranioplasty. Data were collected and statistical analysis was performed. Result and Conclusion Of the three groups studied, postoperative complications were more in group 1(ETO-sterilized autologous bone graft) and group 3 (titanium mesh cranioplasty) but the difference between the three groups was not statistically significant. Factors such as age, gender, initial diagnosis, interval between decompression craniectomy and cranioplasty, operative time, blood loss, method of fixation, and defect size had no statistically significant effect on postoperative outcomes.

Abstract:

Purpose Prostate cancer risk calculators incorporate many factors to evaluate an individual's risk for prostate cancer. We validated two common North American–based, prostate cancer risk calculators. Patients and Methods We conducted a prospective, multi-institutional study of 2,130 patients who underwent a prostate biopsy for prostate cancer detection from five centers. We evaluated the performance of the Sunnybrook nomogram–based prostate cancer risk calculator (SRC) and the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) –based risk calculator (PRC) to predict the presence of any cancer and high-grade cancer. We examined discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis techniques to evaluate the prediction models. Results Of the 2,130 patients, 867 men (40.7%) were found to have cancer, and 1,263 (59.3%) did not have cancer. Of the patients with cancer, 403 (46.5%) had a Gleason score of 7 or more. The area under the [concentration-time] curve (AUC) for the SRC was 0.67 (95% CI, 0.65 to 0.69); the AUC for the PRC was 0.61 (95% CI, 0.59 to 0.64). The AUC was higher for predicting aggressive disease from the SRC (0.72; 95% CI, 0.70 to 0.75) compared with that from the PRC (0.67; 95% CI, 0.64 to 0.70). Decision curve analyses showed that the SRC performed better than the PRC for risk thresholds of more than 30% for any cancer and more than 15% for aggressive cancer. Conclusion The SRC performed better than the PRC, but neither one added clinical benefit for risk thresholds of less than 30%. Further research is needed to improve the AUCs of the risk calculators, particularly for higher-grade cancer.

Abstract:

The labour market started to make a difference between the diplomas issued by higher educational institutions. The decision of prospective students considerably depends on the labour market value of a certain diploma. Career monitoring of graduates is a very important task of higher educational institutions. Feedback and experiences from the graduates and the employers are valuable sources of information for the institutions to shape their teaching activities in order to meet the actual demand of the labour market. Career monitoring of graduates is not a common activity at present in Hungary. Some institutions regularly monitor the labour market position of their graduates, but unfortunately most institutions do not invest time or manpower in such activities. A country level study has already been introduced that included almost all the higher educational institutions in Hungary. This study, coordinated by the Hungarian Ministry of Education, appears ready to be continued. The aim of this study is to introduce some institutional and country level initiations of career monitoring.

Abstract:

<p>Emerging markets are considered to be the largest untapped markets on earth with substantial business opportunities. However, emerging markets are characterised by weak institutional context. For entrepreneurs, how to achieve innovations in emerging markets confronting the challenge of institutional environment remains largely unexplored in the literature. This research study adopted a qualitative method using case study approach. Ten (10) top level and middle level managers were sampled, contacted and interviewed from an emerging market firm (EMF). Data was analysed using qualitative content analysis. Focusing on the product innovation for India’s masses with the creation of indigenous digital telecom switches by Centre for development of Telematics (C-DoT), our analysis reveal that entrepreneurs with visionary leadership can envision emerging market prospective and thereby have greater possibility of acting as institutional entrepreneurs to avoid uncertainty for emerging market innovations. Our proposed conceptual framework can be secured as a reference point by potential entrepreneurs to innovate targeting the emerging markets, and the study also contributes significantly to the theoretical literature on emerging market innovation formulating a set of propositions to advance research in this subject.</p>

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the mental models of top executive team members in a selected retail bank. The focus is on how each executive team member makes sense of the market situation and changes with regard to customers and customer-bank interactions in the current situation where earlier bank practices are at risk of becoming obsolete. Design/methodology/approach All members in the executive team were interviewed individually in August 2014 on how they reason about challenges in the service business. The study uses an abductive research approach. Findings The mental models were largely dominated by internal bank issues, and adjusting the services to changing customer preferences was considered a main challenge. The research analysis showed that the executive team members identified the same business challenges, but their interpretations of the meanings and implications of the challenges were different. Mental models tend to be hidden and stable and are seldom explicitly elaborated. There was a distinct spread in mental models in terms of content. Limited focus was on customers as the starting point for business development and renewal. Research limitations/implications The study was conducted in the retail banking setting, which is currently affected by many changes. The study, however, was limited to executive members in one bank. Practical implications The foremost implications of this study relate to sensitising executive members and teams to their mental models and exposing different core challenges related to customers and customer relationships in the retail banking sector. Originality/value The value of the study is it sheds light on top executives’ prospective sensemaking of current business challenges by addressing individual mental models. The study represents a novel approach in the strategic service management literature.
