Factor Analysis of Intraoperative Radical Conversion During Partial Nephrectomy - Single Surgeon Experience

Purpose: Preoperative aspects and dimensions used for an anatomical (PADUA) classification is useful to predict perioperative complications and warm ischemia time. However, it remains uncertain whether PADUA classification can predict intraoperative conversion from partial nephrectomy (PN) to radical nephrectomy (RN). We evaluate whether PADUA classification parameters can predict conversion to RN during PN. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively assessed data of 593 patients who underwent open PN and robotic PN for renal tumors by a single surgeon at a single tertiary center between December 2003 and September 2017. Intraoperative conversion to RN was performed in 17 of 593 patients who initially underwent PN. We evaluated the factors influencing the surgical modalities including PN and radical conversion cases. Then, the factors significantly associated with conversion to RN were further analyzed. Results: There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in age, longitudinal location, exophytic rate, and rim or face locations of renal masses. Renal sinus involvement, urinary collecting system involvement, and renal mass size were variables that predicted radical conversion, using univariate analysis. Renal sinus involvement (odds ratio [OR], 9.075; p=0.049) and urinary collecting system involvement (OR, 3.944; p=0.029) were independent predictors of intraoperative radical conversion, using multivariate analysis. Conclusions: The PADUA classification is a useful tool to predict intraoperative conversion from PN to RN. Renal sinus involvement and urinary collecting system involvement are the best predictors of intraoperative conversion from PN to RN. (Korean J Urol Oncol 2017;15:165-171) 󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏󰠏
New general decay results for a von Karman plate equation with memory-type boundary conditions

In this paper we consider a von Karman plate equation with memory-type boundary conditions. By assuming the relaxation function \begin{document}$ k_i $\end{document} \begin{document}$ (i = 1, 2) $\end{document} with minimal conditions on the \begin{document}$ L^1(0, \infty) $\end{document} , we establish an optimal explicit and general energy decay result. In particular, the energy result holds for \begin{document}$ H(s) = s^p $\end{document} with the full admissible range \begin{document}$ [1, 2) $\end{document} instead of \begin{document}$ [1, 3/2) $\end{document} . This result is new and substantially improves earlier results in the literature.
THE INTER-RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMMODITY ENERGY PRICES AND STOCK MARKET VOLATILITY IN SAUDI-ARABIA

Background and Purpose: The present study examines the inter-relationship that exists between commodity energy price as well as stock market volatility in Saudi-Arabia. The focus of the study is to test if changes in commodities energy prices (oil related) cause significant changes in the stock market volatility of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This study made use of a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model which has exogenous variables (GARCH-X), thus able to employ the commodity energy price inform of an exogenous so as to test the conditional variance of the Saudi-Arabia stock market return. Findings: The findings from the estimated model provide evidence that only the ARCH and GARCH parameters are significant while the exogenous variables are insignificant. It is concluded that other factors affect the volatility of the Saudi-Arabia stock market, but not the commodity energy price. Contributions: This study recommends that, policy makers, investors, and regulators should give emphasis on macro-economic variables and volatility interdependence with other correlated markets, especially during energy price shock that affected the volatility of Saudi-Arabia stock market.

Corporate Governance Reform in an Emerging Economy: Organisational Change or Window Dressing of Compliance

This paper examines organisational change partly as window dressing or compliance when corporate governance reforms were introduced to varying listed companies in a developing country. Specifically, we examine whether the listed companies transformed their roles including those of board members; what the nature of the changes were; what factors hindered governance related development initiatives and how the companies and their members reacted to the reforms. By using content analysis between 2007 and 2017, this study observed that the listed companies of Bangladesh tended to overstate compliance statements to manage their impressions to their stakeholders. After the reform in 2012, requiring more independent directors into the board and external certification of compliance statements, however, it was found that the extent of window dressing in compliance statements declined considerably. Government firms were found to make more proportionate overstatements compared to family, non-family and foreign companies. In fine, we found that the companies’ developmental efforts were challenged by the existing formal legal environment and regulatory pressures.
ROLE OF INAPPROPRIATE TRADITIONAL SPLINTAGE IN LIMB AMPUTATION IN MAIDUGURI, NIGERIA

Background: University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital a major referable Centre in Northeastern Nigeria over the years has been faced with management of complications of limb injuries arising from treatment of limb fractures and injuries by the traditional bone setters (TBS). This study is therefore aimed at determining the role of inappropriate traditional splintage in limb amputation and proffer interventional strategies to curb the menace. Methods: A retrospective study of data of patients that had amputation in University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital between 1998 and 2002 was undertaken. Results: A total number of 82 patients were entered into the study; there were 66 males and 16 Females (M.F ratio 4:1). Their ages ranged between 2 – 80 years with a median of 27 years. Seventy three percent of our patients were below the age of 45 years. The most common indication for limb amputation was gangrene arising from treatment of limb injuries by TBS 31.7%, followed by trauma 24.3% and malignancies 14.6%. Majority of the amputations were in the lower limbs and 35%of the patients had 2 – Stage operation. Conclusion: Preventable severe complications often arise from TBS treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. There is need for sustained health education to discourage patronage of TBS and encourage utilization of modern health service. Basic training for TBS in safe splintage and early identification of signs of ischaemia may not be out of place.
A comparative study on antibiotics and no antibiotics in clean surgical cases

One such complication is surgical site infection. It is one of the most commonly occurring complications in daily practice. These hinder the quality of life, extension in hospital stay, financial burden etc. Incidence of postoperative surgical site infection has been lowest in clean surgical cases. Prophylactic antibiotics are routinely used in all the cases. But the same is not indicated in clean surgical cases.
PC-DARTS: Partial Channel Connections for Memory-Efficient Architecture Search

Differentiable architecture search (DARTS) provided a fast solution in finding effective network architectures, but suffered from large memory and computing overheads in jointly training a super-net and searching for an optimal architecture. In this paper, we present a novel approach, namely Partially-Connected DARTS, by sampling a small part of super-net to reduce the redundancy in exploring the network space, thereby performing a more efficient search without comprising the performance. In particular, we perform operation search in a subset of channels while bypassing the held out part in a shortcut. This strategy may suffer from an undesired inconsistency on selecting the edges of super-net caused by sampling different channels. We solve it by introducing edge normalization, which adds a new set of edge-level hyper-parameters to reduce uncertainty in search. Thanks to the reduced memory cost, PC-DARTS can be trained with a larger batch size and, consequently, enjoy both faster speed and higher training stability. Experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Specifically, we achieve an error rate of 2.57% on CIFAR10 within merely 0.1 GPU-days for architecture search, and a state-of-the-art top-1 error rate of 24.2% on ImageNet (under the mobile setting) within 3.8 GPU-days for search.

The role of gender, social class and ethnicity in participation and academic attainment in UK higher education: an update

ABSTRACT A literature review published in 2008 outlined known relationships between gender, ethnicity, and academic attainment in UK higher education. In the period since this publication, many changes to the higher education sector have occurred, including raising tuition fees, an increased focus on widening participation, and an increasing interest in diversifying the curriculum. There is a need for an updated and expanded literature review to highlight whether the relationships between gender, ethnicity, and academic attainment remain the same one decade later. This article synthesises the current literature related to the impact of gender, social class, and ethnicity on higher education participation and academic attainment. We highlight the important role of intersectionality in understanding overarching trends. Altogether, this literature review shows that there are persisting inequalities in both participation and attainment based on gender, social class, and ethnicity. To conclude, we provide several suggestions for improving our understanding of these phenomena in the decades to come.
Do going concern opinions provide incremental information to predict corporate defaults?

Investors, regulators, and academics question the usefulness of going concern opinions (GCOs). We assess whether GCOs provide incremental information, relative to other predictors of corporate default. Our measure of incremental information is the additional predictive power that GCOs give to a default model. Using data from 1996 to 2015, initially we find no difference in predictive power between GCOs alone and a default model that includes financial ratios. However, there is an imperfect overlap between GCOs and other predictors. We show that GCOs increase the predictive power of several models that include ratios, market variables, probability of default estimates, and credit ratings. Using a model that includes ratios and market variables, GCOs increase the number of predicted defaults by 4.4%, without increasing Type II errors. Our findings suggest that GCOs summarize a complex set of conditions not captured by other predictors of default.

Clinical profile of nonstrabismic binocular vision anomalies in patients with asthenopia in North-East India

Aim: To report the clinical profile of non-strabismic binocular vision anomalies (NSBVA) in patients with asthenopia in North-East India. Materials and methods: A hospital based study was conducted on 131 patients from age group 10-40 years attending the vision therapy clinic. Patients were divided into the age groups 10-20 years, 21-30 years and 31-40 years. A detailed orthoptic evaluation was carried out including sensory and motor testing and a diagnosis was made comparing various orthoptic parameters of the particular patients. Results: Of the 131 patients, 81 were female and 50 were male. The number of patients was 62 in the 10-20 years age group, 49 in 21-30 years age group and 20 in 31-40 years age group. The prevalence of NSBVA in age group 10-20 years was 69.35%, 21-30 years was 67.35% and 31-40 years was 50.00%. It was observed that the most common NSBVA was convergence insufficiency across all age groups followed by accommodative insufficiency and convergence excess. Conclusion: Early detection of NSBVA is important because these deviations may decompensate without treatment and become strabismic resulting in loss of stereopsis and development of suppression. Early detection and treatment provides best opportunity for academic success in school going age groups.
New Zealand GPs and nutrition care: Perceptions, perceived competence, and barriers to provision.

Malnutrition results in increased duration of patient stay and increases hospital costs. However, few studies address this issue in the Indian context. A recent UK study showed that intensive nutrition training was effective in increasing awareness of health professionals. In order to inform such educational interventions in India, a needs assessment was conducted in Kolkata by measuring doctors’ and dietitians’ attitudes and confidence regarding nutrition care, advocacy, and leadership. A total of 123 doctors (including general medicine, endocrinology, and critical care) and 56 dietitians completed a questionnaire (response proportion of 76%). Doctors displayed moderate confidence in providing nutrition care but were less confident in their skills relating to advocacy and leadership. Dietitians displayed greater confidence than doctors in providing nutrition care but similarly lacked confidence in
Sero-prevalence of brucellosis, Q-fever and Rift Valley fever in humans and livestock in Somali Region, Ethiopia

Information on zoonotic diseases in humans and livestock are limited in pastoral/agro-pastoral communities in Ethiopia. A multi-stage cross sectional cluster design study was implemented with the aim to establish the seroprevalence of zoonotic diseases including brucellosis, Q-fever and Rift Valley Fever (RVF) in humans and livestock in Adadle woreda of the Somali region, Ethiopia. Blood samples were collected from humans and livestock and tested by relevant serological tests. For brucellosis, Rose Bengal test (RBT) and indirect ELISA was used for screening and confirmatory diagnosis respectively. Indirect and competitive ELISA were also used for Q-fever and RVF respectively. The individual seropositivity of Q-fever in livestock was 9.6% (95% CI 5.9-15.1) in cattle, 55.7% (95% CI 46.0-65.0) in camels, 48.8% (95% CI 42.5-55.0) in goats, and 28.9% (95% CI 25.0-33.2) in sheep. In humans, seropositivity of Q-fever was 27.0% (95% CI 20.4-34.0), with prevalence in males of 28.9% vs 24.2% in females (OR= 1.3; 95% CI 0.6-2.5). Camel seropositivity of Q-fever was significantly associated with age (OR= 8.1; 95% CI 2.8-23.7). The individual apparent seroprevalence of RVF was 13.2% (95% CI 8.7-18.8) in humans, 17.9 % (95% CI 11.0-27.8) in cattle, 42.6% (95% CI 34.8-50.7) in camels, 6.3% (95% CI 3.3-11.6) in goats and 7.4% (95% CI 4.7-11.5) in sheep. Camels had the highest seropositivity of both Q-fever (55.7%; 95% CI 46.0-65.0) and RVF (42.6%; 95% CI 34.8-50.7). Only a weak correlation was observed between human and livestock seropositivity for both Q-fever and RVF. Only cattle and camels were seropositive for brucellosis by iELISA. The individual seroprevalence of brucellosis was 2.8(0.9-6.4) in humans, 1.5% (95% CI 0.2-5.2) in cattle and 0.6% (95% CI 0.0-3.2) in camels. This study showed the importance of zoonoses in Somali regional state and is the first published study to describe RVF exposure in humans and livestock in the country. Collaboration between public and animal health sectors for further investigation on these zoonoses using the One Health concept is indispensable.
The Relation of Language Learning Strategy use with Self-efficacy, Motivation, and English Language Achievement

Greater emphasis has been placed on learners and the procedure through which L2 learning happens. Hence, this study aims to investigate the effect of English learning strategy use on intermediate students' English achievement. However, in this research strategy use is considered in relation to motivation and self-efficacy, to which less attention has been paid. An adapted version of Gardner's (2001) model was used. 240 EFL students studying at the Iran Language Institute were administered different questionnaires to collect data. Findings of the study using Structural Equation Modeling revealed that the use of strategies directly affected English achievement. However, when strategy use was influenced by self-efficacy and motivation, it had a stronger effect on English achievement. Specifically, strategy use was more dependent on self-efficacy than motivation. Therefore, to enhance the English language achievement of Iranian EFL students, self-efficacy and motivation on which learners' strategy use depends must be given due attention.
A Study on Utilization and Satisfaction of ICDS Services in Aanganwadis of Urban Bhopal

Background: Though ICDS is the world’s largest community-based child nutrition and development program, even after more than 35 years of its implementation the dilemma still exists regarding the extent of utilization and quality of services provided through aanganwadis. Method: This was a cross-sectional study done in 40 aanganwadis of Bhopal city in a period of three months. Forty aanganwadis were selected from the urban area of Bhopal. Six registered beneficiaries from each of these 40 selected aanganwadis were interviewed. Results: Out of 240 beneficiaries, 35 (14.5) were pregnant women, 40 (16.67 ) were lactating females, 81 (33.75) were mothers of children aged greater than 0–3 years, 49 (20.42) were mothers of children aged 3–6 years, 32 (13.33) were adolescent girls (10–19 years) and 03 (01.25) were women of reproductive age. 166 (69.16%) were satisfied with the services, while the rest 74 (30.84%) were not satisfied with the services. Conclusions: Improvement in the quality of services is the need of the hour to keep the satisfaction and utilization level.
Dimensional Impact of Social Capital on Financial Performance of SMEs

In emerging economies, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) contribute a sizeable proportion of exports and manufacturing output, and millions of people are provided employment. Entrepreneurs and these small firms are influenced by many contextual factors in their operations. Social capital factors, both formal and informal social networks, are considered influential to their performance. This study uses regression analysis to study the impact of social capital dimensions on financial performance of SMEs. Primary data were collected through survey of SMEs of India. It was found that out of five social capital dimensions only four dimensions, such as complicity, status, social relations and personal relations, positively impact the financial performance of SMEs, whereas one dimension ‘Interlinking and family support’ had no significant impact on financial performance of SMEs. The implications of these findings are discussed.
Problem of Obstetrical Evacuations: About 630 Cases Collected at the Maternity of Bouake University Hospital

Objective: To improve the care of evacuees at the maternity of the University Hospital Center of Bouake (CHUB). Methodology: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study over a period of three months that covered 630 cases collected at the Maternity of the university Hospital of Bouake. Results: Obstetric evacuation accounted for 42.5% of admissions to the delivery room. Patients under 20 years and over 34 years of age respectively represented 21% and 13.5% of the total. 62.7% of evacuees were not educated and 84.9% had low economic level. Nulliparous and multiparous women accounted for 54.9% of the patients and 88% had mean prenatal follow up. The evacuations were decided by midwives (91.3%), without previous adapted treatment (79.4%), with a badly filled evacuation card (49.7%) and no partograph. The taxi was the most used means of transportation (75.2%) and most evacuees took less than one hour to access the referral center (61.4%). The reasons for evacuation are mainly dominated by mechanical obstructions (34.8%); on admission the evacuees with no real reference reason were 243 (38.6%) and the diagnosis was inconsistent in 43% of cases. The majority of evacuated women delivered vaginally (69.4%). Most newborns had a satisfactory state at the 5th minute of life (79.4%) and we noted 54 cases (08.3%) of neonatal deaths. 7.8% of evacuees had a complication dominated by postpartum anemia (51.1%); we had lamented 17 cases (2.7%) of maternal deaths among evacuees, attributable to delivery haemorrhage (47.1%) and eclampsia (23.5%). Conclusion: A better organization of the reference and an equipment of the peripheral health structures would improve the prognosis of the evacuees.
