Serum morphine levels

A study was undertaken to compare continuous subcutaneous infusions of morphine with continuous intravenous infusions in patients whose lungs were mechanically ventilated for 24 hours postoperatively. Serum morphine levels were measured after the end of surgery and at 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours in nine patients receiving continuous subcutaneous morphine and in four patients receiving continuous intravenous morphine given at the same rate. At 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours the means of serum morphine levels in the intravenous group were 20 ng/ml. 17.75 ng/ml, 18.5 ng/ml and 18 ng/ml, respectively, the corresponding figures in the subcutaneous group being 23.2 ng/ml. 20 ng/ml, 20.7 ng/ml and 20 ng/ml. For the intravenous route the mean dose of supplementary analgesia was 14 mg of phenoperidine in the first 24 postoperative hours, whereas for the subcutaneous route the mean dose was 11.66 mg. The differences in the serum morphine levels and in the requirements of phenoperidine were not statistically significant. We conclude that a continuous subcutaneous infusion of morphine is a simple and effective means of achieving postoperative analgesia.
Histologic developmental horizons of the prenatal dromedary tongue

We present a study on the histologic developmental horizons of the dromedary tongue using abattoir samples. The 13 month dromedary gestation period was divided into four quarters, giving the dromedary four prenatal growth phases. Feotuses were recovered from slaughtered camels and 1 cm2 samples were cut from dorsum and lateral parts of the apex, body and base of tongues of associated foetuses in each growth phase for histological analysis. The dorsal and lateral parts of the apex of the tongue showed variable sizes of underdeveloped filiform and fungiform papillae formed from the folding of non - keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. The filiform papillae were interspersed with fungiform papillae. A brief glandless propria-submucosa of vascularized connective tissue was continuous with their lamina epithelialis. The muscularis showed vertical, longitudinal and transverse (X, Y, Z) directions of skeletal muscles. Same arrangement was found at the lingual body. Under- developed lentiform papillae extended from the terminus of the caudal aspect of the lingual body to the rostral aspect of the lingual base. The lingual base showed underdeveloped fungiform and vallate papillae. The lingual body and base were highly muscularized. The muscularity became more obvious at the second and third quarters. Unique to the third phase was apical keratinization of filiform papillae, marking its full development. The propria-submucosa was highly vascularized. The fourth growth phase marked the stage for full development of most of parts of the tongue except the mucosa of the lingual base, where taste buds were not observed in gustatory papillae, eventhough an earlier study had observed taste buds in gustatory papillae of the adult dromedary. It was concluded that most of the salient features of the postnatal dromedary tongue, such as gustatory and non-gustatory papillae, were already evident as early as the first growth phase.

Functional outcome following severe head injury in decerebrating patients

Aim; To examine the outcome in patients with decerebration due to severe head injury.Method: All the patients of severe head injury were admitted to the hospital. Out of these patients, those who were having decerebration were included in the study (n=48). Various factors were analyzed to assess their effect on outcome.Outcome was assessed on basis of Glasgow outcome scale at three months following injury. Results: The patients who were normal or had minimal deficits were categorized as having good outcome while those with moderate or significant disability or death were categorized as having poor outcome. Patents in the pediatric group had lesser mortality as compared to adults (50% versus 81.6%). Age, eye opening, pupillary status, and surgical intervention were the factors having significant impact on outcome (p<.05). Those patients who had operable lesion had better survival than those with diffuse injuries. Over all good outcome was seen in 5 (10.4%) patients. Mortality in our series was 75 %( 36 patients). Conclusion: Patients who have decerebration after severe head injury have high mortality. However, some of these patients have functional recovery, hence they must be managed aggressively and every effort must be made to intervene in them before features of decerebration occur.
Adaptive Routing Algorithm for Priority Flows in a Network

Abstract : This research presents the development of an Adaptive Routing Algorithm for Priority (ARAP) flows in a Network. Devices in today's battle space require information to function. Additional bandwidth requirements for such devices place an increased burden on the already congested networks in the battle space. Some devices require real time information (high priority) and other devices will not require real time information (low priority). Existing protocols treat the network like an opaque entity and have little knowledge of user requirements. User requirement information is available in tactical networks and we can take advantage of the known requirements to better optimize network behavior. One such optimization is during times of congestion ARAP will enable better Quality of Service (QoS) for higher priority information. Mechanisms such as Network Tasking Order (NTO) and Network Weatherman (NWM) can provide this information to facilitate improved network behavior. The NTO gives advance knowledge of network state and NWM provides future estimates on utilization of specific network queues allowing for improved QoS guarantees.

A TEXTBOOK OF ANATOMY

the view that they had based their opinion on the fact that Neumann had isolated staphylococci in some glands which suppurated. Most writers remark on the absence of suppuration. The presence of constipation which all observers have noted, plus the fact that the left side is usually first affected has lead to the theory of intestinal origin through lymphatic channels. Whilst many agree that the point of entry is possibly through the tonsil or pharynx, the glands are not as a rule affected in the same order as they are following tonsillar infection. Whilst most of the reported cases occur in children from five to fifteeen years of age, mild epidemics have been reported in which young adults have been affected.
Role of Denver II and Development Quotients in the management of several pediatric developmental and behavioral disorders

Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are nowadays becoming more and more frequently found. Parents are worried of the possibility that their children suffer from them. Growth and development clinics (GDC) should be able to deliver professional services. Thus a practica~ applicable, objective, valid, reliable, and able to measure development quotient (DQ) values instrument is needed. Objective To find out whether the Denver II instrument and DQ values can be used in the management of children with ASD andADHD. Methods A study was carried out on cases of children with ASD, multisystem development disorder (MSDD), pervasive development disorder - n ot otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), consisting of history taking, physical examination, establishing diagnosis, therapy, evaluation, and follow-up. The Denver II instrument was used and DQ values in all development streams established. The study was done at the GDC of Hermina Depok Hospital in July 2008 - June 2009. Results It revealed that results of the Denver II as seen on the filled Denver II form showed "typical" features related to kind of disorder as far as category ofDQ value, dissociation, global delayed development (GDD) as well as abnormality of the test behavior were concerned. It also revealed that establishing the diagnoses by the use of the Denver II and DQ values gave exactly the same diagnoses as when using the conventional way by the expert. Conclusion The Denver II instrument with DQ values can be used in the management of ASD and ADHD cases. [Paediatr lndones. 2012;52:51-6].

Beyond the Synset: Synonyms in Collaboratively Constructed Semantic Resources

We present a comparative analysis of synonyms in collaboratively constructed and linguistic lexical semantic resources and its implications for NLP research. Our focus is on the Wiki-based resources constructed mostly by non-experts on the Web which lack any principled linguistic guidelines and rely on user collaboration for quality management, as opposed to conventional sources of synonyms such as WordNet or thesauri. The most prominent examples are Wikipedia (a free Encyclopedia) and its dictionary spin-offs Wiktionary and OmegaWiki , where the latter has a strong focus on crosslinguality. We examine three major ways how synonyms emerge in these resources, all of which imply a different operational definition of synonymy. We then discuss how these synonyms can be mined and used building upon previous research in this field.
Posterior urethral valves in children: A review of 28 cases in Yaounde, Cameroon

We reviewed the files of 28 children treated or followed up for posterior urethral valves (PUV) from 1 st January 1985 to the 31st of December 1996 in the University Teaching Hospital, Central Hospital and the General Hospital in Yaounde. Our objectives were to review the epidemiological aspects of PUV in Yaounde, assess the clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures and outcome following surgery in terms of renal function and patient growth. The mean age at diagnosis was 2.9 years (range 9days-13 years), mean age at first consultation after onset of symptoms 1.6 years (range 1 day-8 years) and the mean interval between age of first consultation and age at diagnosis was 9.7 months. The most frequent urinary symptoms were dribbling (60.7%) and dysuria (54%), whereas frequent non-urinary symptoms were fever (25%) and failure to thrive (25%). Diagnosis was confirmed on ultrasound in 3 patients and in the remaining 25 both ultrasound and voiding cystourethrograms made the confirmation.There was an overall improvement at follow-up in the glomerular filtration rates (GFR) in 67% of the patients although absolute values remained low in all but 1 patient. Growth was also improved in 56% of the patients. Concerning treatment, 26 patients underwent surgery and 2 were lost to follow-up after diagnosis. 20 patients underwent endoscopic valve ablations, 4 Blocksom vesicostomies, 3 cystostomies and 2 catheter ablations. At final evaluation, we noted 6 deaths (21%), 10 lost to follow-up (36%). Causes of the deaths were septicemia: 3 cases (50%); post-obstructive diuresis: 2 cases (33%) and chronic renal failure: 1 case (17%). We thus conclude that, efforts should be made by clinicians especially (obstetricians, surgeons, radiologists, and pediatricians) to make early diagnosis and management of PUV so that renal impairment should be avoided and optimal growth ensured.

Radiation induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities in patients with left breast cancer: A prospective study with short and long term follow up

Introduction:The external beam radiation therapy for patients with left breast cancer at the mastectomy site may cause myocardial perfusion abnormalities. We intended to study the change of these abnormalities at short and long term post radiotherapy follow up. Methods: Twenty patients with left and 20 patients with right breast cancer comprised the exposed and control groups, respectively. The patients had low risk for coronary disease. They underwent myocardial perfusion scans (MPS) 3 years after the external beam radiation therapy at the bed of modified radical mastectomy. These subjects were recruited from two bigger cohorts with previously reported data of scans at 6 months. The scans were acquired after injections of about 20 mCi MIBI at peak pharmacologic stress and at rest. The change of the perfusion abnormalities by both visual assessment and quantifications (Autoquant) at the baseline and 3 years follow up time are compared between exposed and control patients. Results: The exposed patients had more visual perfusion abnormality scores compared to control subjects (1.1±1.3 vs. 0.3±1.0; p=0.03). The indices of perfusion abnormality normalized in control subjects from baseline to follow up scans (p= 0.05 for summed difference score and p=0.04 for summed stress score). The difference of the perfusion abnormalities between the exposed and unexposed subjects remained unchanged along the 3 years of follow up. Conclusion: The radiation induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities in patients with left breast cancer could cause permanent coronary disease over time.

Just-in-time Training for Medical Emergencies: Computer versus Paper Checklists for a Tracheal Intubation Task

Responding to medical emergencies quickly and effectively is essential. In remote or hostile environments, fully trained medical personnel are not always available, so clear and effective guidance is required. This paper reports a comparison of paper-based and computer-based checklists for just-in-time training for medical emergencies. In a between-subjects experiment, untrained participants carried out an emergency airway management task on a patient simulator either using a paper-based checklist with text and still images or using a computer-based checklist that included identical text plus video clips. Participants using the computer-based checklist performed significantly faster and more proficiently than those using the paper checklist. Subjective usability and preference measures were also superior for computer checklist. The results suggest the clear superiority of the computer-based checklist for untrained responders. We discuss which aspects of the computer-based checklist may contribute to its superiority.
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in Jos, Nigeria: Clinical presentation, management and outcome

Background : Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a benign neoplastic disease of viral aetiology which can have significant morbidity or mortality and presents great challenges in it management. This study evaluates our experience with the management of this disease. Methods : This was a 10 year retrospective review of 29 patients with histologically confirmed recurrent respiratory papillomatosis managed in the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos, Nigeria. Results : Twenty nine patients aged between 2 months and 45 years were studied. There were 21(72.4%) males and 8 (27.6%) females. The highest incidence (62.1%) was in children less than 10 years.The presenting features were hoarseness in all patients and dyspnea in 28 (96.6%) patients who had emergency tracheostomy. Twenty five (89.3%) patients were decannulated within 1 week. No patient had distal viral spread. Twenty three (79.3%) patients presented within 10 months of onset of symptoms and 6 (20.7%) patients after this period.All the patients had endoscopic surgical excision. The commonest site of lesions was the vocal cords in 16 (55.2%) patients and the anterior commissure in 13 (44.8%) patients. Recurrence occurred in 2 (6.9%) patients. No malignant transformation occurred. Conclusion : Conventional endoscopic surgical excision is safe and tracheostomy when needed is recommended in the management of patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.

Which panel data estimator should I use?: A corrigendum and extension

Abstract This study uses Monte Carlo experiments to produce new evidence on the performance of a wide range of panel data estimators. It focuses on estimators that are readily available in statistical software packages such as Stata and Eviews, and for which the number of cross-sectional units (N) and time periods (T) are small to moderate in size. The goal is to develop practical guidelines that will enable researchers to select the best estimator for a given type of data. It extends a previous study on the subject (Reed and Ye, Which panel data estimator should I use? 2011), and modifies their recommendations. The new recommendations provide a (virtually) complete decision tree: When it comes to choosing an estimator for efficiency, it uses the size of the panel dataset (N and T) to guide the researcher to the best estimator. When it comes to choosing an estimator for hypothesis testing, it identifies one estimator as superior across all the data scenarios included in the study. An unusual finding is that researchers should use different estimators for estimating coefficients and testing hypotheses. The authors present evidence that bootstrapping allows one to use the same estimator for both.
