The Role of local Anesthesia Instillation in Pain Alleviation Post Laparoscopy

Background: Gynecological laparoscopy is now becoming a more popular technique for diagnosis and treatment of infertility cases; however gynecological laparoscopy is usually followed by Post-operative pain which may be attributed to small incision in abdominal wall or as a result of diaphragmatic irritation by inflating gases. Aim of the Study: was to assess the role of local anesthesia instillation in pain relief after laparoscopy. Patients and methods: the present study was a randomized trial study performed on 146 women aged 20-35 years, admitted to Ain Shams University hospitals. Patients were split into 2 equal groups, Group(A): further subdivided into A1 and A2 whom undergone diagnostic and operative laparoscopy respectively- patients administrated 20ml of 0.25% of Bupivacaine instilled intraperitoneal-and Group (B): further subdivided into B1 and B2 -whom undergone diagnostic and operative laparoscopy respectively-Patients administrated 20ml of 0.75% of Ropivacaine instilled intra-peritoneal. Vital signs and Pain scores were measured preoperatively, immediate postoperative, 1 hours, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours postoperatively. Data was collected, tabulated, then analyzed using IBM© SPSS© Statistics version 22 (IBM© Corp., Armonk, NY). Results: administration of 20mL of Ropivacaine 0.75% at the end of technique gave pain relief for four hours in group B1 and pain relief for three hours in group B2, associated with an increase in heart rate and blood pressure for two hours in group B1 and B2 for three hours. Conclusion: instillation of local anesthetic after laparoscopy promotes pain relief post operatively and further minimizes the postoperative hospital stay.
Short-term effects of fertilization on dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil leachate

Abstract. Besides the importance of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil biogeochemical processes, there is still a debate on how agricultural intensification affects the composition and concentration of dissolved organic matter leached from soils into adjacent aquatic ecosystems. In order to investigate the immediate response of DOM leaching to fertilization, we conducted a short-term (45 day) lysimeter experiment with undisturbed silt loam and loamy sand soil cores. Mineral (calcium ammonium nitrate) or organic (pig slurry) fertilizer was applied on the soil surface with a concentration equivalent to 130 kg N ha−1. After fertilization, soil leachate was collected in 6-days intervals. Dissolved organic carbon concentrations (DOC) were measured with gas chromatography, while shifts in DOM composition were analysed using absorbance and excitation- emission fluorescence indices from peak-picking as well as from PARAFAC analysis. During the first 12 days, fertilization of a silt loam reduced DOC concentrations in the leachate and shifted its composition towards more microbial- like compounds. Additionally, the discrepancy in DOM composition between fertilizer and control treatments of a silt loam increased with time. However, in loamy sand only mineral fertilization affected organic matter leaching and decreased DOC concentrations in the leachate during the first 12 days. Furthermore, mineral fertilization of the loamy sand led to DOM compounds with low molecular size in the first 12 days. Our results show that fertilization tends to increase microbial transformed DOM, while it reduces leached DOC concentrations. Furthermore, the magnitude of fertilization on DOC concentrations and DOM composition was highly depending on the soil texture they originate from. However, in our set-up, the experimental soil units were restricted to a soil depth of 16 cm (Ap horizon). At ecosystem level, a sufficiently long soil passage might mitigate the impact of fertilization on soil DOM.
A case of pseudo-Meigs syndrome

We present a case of a 52-year old woman with exudative pleural effusion. Her workup revealed an ovarian tumor, and the effusion completely resolved after resection of the tumor. Pathology revealed granulosa cell tumor, which is an unusual cause of Meigs syndrome. This case shows the importance of considering abdominopelvic pathology in unsolved cases of pleural effusion.
Past the Privacy Paradox: The Importance of Privacy Changes as a Function of Control and Complexity

The privacy paradox is often characterized as a risk-benefit trade-off. Risks like identity theft, invasions of privacy, and online harassment compete with benefits like social need fulfillment, impression management, and self-esteem validation. Individuals’ willingness to disclose personal information is thought to vary as a function of this trade-off. Three studies provide initial evidence of an alternative explanation in which one’s subjective importance of privacy itself varies as a function of who is in control of managing privacy and the extent to which managing privacy is perceived to be easy or difficult. When privacy is difficult to manage, individuals perceive privacy to be more important when they control privacy management but less important when a social network/company controls privacy management. This changing importance predicts an individual’s intentions to disclose private information and moderates established effects that risk-benefit trade-off tolerance and trust in a company’s expertise (but not benevolence) have on disclosure.
Geographical distribution of cystic fibrosis; The past 70 years of data analyzis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) has been generally well defined throughout the world although its prevalence is very difficult to ascertain for a number of reasons, including the fact that the medical/scientific literature and patient registries vary in quality in different countries. In the present review literature (1938–2017), we found out the higher frequency of registered CF patients in the European Union. This could be due to strong clinical awareness and greater health facilities. In contrast, we found a very irregular report from Asian and African countries. In these countries, the national CF registration system is mostly lacking or it is individualized-based research. In this situation, the estimation of various risk factors such as ethnicity and/or races is remained to be resolved. Overall, this review outlines the urgent need for revitalization of national and global CF registration, worldwide.
Comparison of the Comprehensive Complication Index and Clavien-Dindo systems in predicting perioperative outcomes following radical nephroureterectomy

Background Complications can occur following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in 20–40% of patients. The Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) is an alternative grading system to the Clavien-Dindo (CD) grading system that aggregates all complications experienced by a patient on a continuous (as opposed to categorical) scale. We investigate whether the cumulative nature of CCI renders it superior to CD in predicting perioperative course after RNU. Methods The records of 596 patents who underwent RNU at 7 academic medical centers from 2005 to 2015 were reviewed. Complications occurring within 30 days of RNU were annotated using both the CD and CCI classification systems. Logistic regression was used to determine associations between CD and CCI with perioperative covariates as well as measures of convalescence [hospital length of stay (LOS) and readmission]. Results A total of 377 men and 219 women with a median age of 71, BMI of 27, and Charlson comorbidity score of 4 were included. Over half underwent a minimally invasive RNU. Median LOS following RNU was 6.0 days (range, 1–37 days) and readmission within 30-days occurred in 45 (8%) patients. Overall, 136 patients (23%) experienced a post-operative complication with 91 having a single complication and 45 with multiple (range, 2–6); 44 (7%) patients had Clavien III or greater complications, and the median CCI for those patients experiencing a complication was 20.9 (range, 8.7–100). Both the upper quartile of CCI (≥75th %) and major CD complications were associated with higher baseline Charlson score, ECOG ≥2, and CKD stage ≥ III (all P<0.05). However, only the upper quartile of CCI was associated with LOS (8.9 vs. 5.4 days, P<0.01) and hospital readmission (OR 3.2, 95% CI: 1.9–5.6, P=0.02) after RNU. Conclusions The CD and CCI classification systems both are associated with similar baseline and perioperative characteristics for RNU patients. However, the cumulative nature of the CCI allows for superior prediction of postoperative course after RNU including LOS and readmission.
Post Border Control Policy: Stakeholder Analysis Perspective

The distribution of unregistered Drugs and Foods during the 2015-2017 period—includingillegally imported Drugs and Food—dominates the findings in Drug and Food control,according to the inspection and investigation of Indonesia National Agency of Drug andFood Control (BPOM) and Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DGCE). This studyaims to determine stakeholder understanding and analysis in implementing BPOMRegulation No. 29 of 2017 and BPOM Regulation No. 30 of 2017. The qualitative methodwith Stakeholder Analysis is used as an analysis on data obtained through literature studiesand structural official interviews and executive officers at BPOM and DGCE. The resultsshow that the performance of BPOM Inspection & Certification Officer, BPOMInvestigator, and DGCE Law Enforcement Officer became Definitive Stakeholder ininfluencing the implementation of those regulations. Head of Division of BPOM Inspectionand Certification, Head of Division of BPOM Law Enforcement and Head of Division ofDGCE Law Enforcement proved to have enough team strength and authority to becomeDominant Stakeholders. Community, passanger, business actors, importers can becomeDangerous Stakeholders because they have personal and business interests if theregulations are not clear or consistent enough. It is necessary to form an integrated teambetween institutions in order to fight against the entry of illegally imported Drug and Food.
The coeliac disease assessment questionnaire (CDAQ): comparison of the paper and electronic versions

The Coeliac Disease Assessment Questionnaire (CDAQ) was developed as a paper version and includes five dimensions (stigma, social isolation, symptoms, dietary burden, and worries and concerns). Dimension scores and an overall summary score can be calculated. Electronic surveys are increasingly used in health research, and present some advantages over paper-based surveys such as reduced cost and ease of analysis (McPeake et al 2014). The aims were to develop and test an electronic version of the CDAQ, and to compare the findings to the postal version of the CDAQ.
Consensus Virtual Output Impedance Control Based on the Novel Droop Equivalent Impedance Concept for a Multi-Bus Radial Microgrid

Most of the existing reactive power sharing schemes that assume parallel architecture are known to be less effective for multi-bus radial microgrids. This article proposes an improved reactive power sharing scheme that exploits the novel concept of droop equivalent impedance into designing a consensus virtual-output-impedance-based droop control scheme. The control scheme leads to two notable improvements: (a) it proves that only either virtual resistance or virtual reactance is sufficient to restore proportional reactive power sharing; (b) only a global coupling gain needs to be tuned and no proportional-integral controller is required. A systematic guideline that establishes the approximate range of stable coupling gain is developed. This simplifies the tuning process of the coupling gain. The power correction performance, the resulting bus voltage behavior, consensus control stability, and the robustness to time delay have been investigated in conjunction with an islanded microgrid modified from the IEEE 34 Node Test Feeder. It is shown that the consensus control scheme is capable to demonstrate accurate power sharing regardless of the changes in the network topology, network impedances, loading conditions, and communication delay.
Gob-Side Entry Retained with Soft Roof, Floor, and Seam in Thin Coal Seams: A Case Study

Gob-side entry retained technology is of great significance to develop coal mining industry sustainably, which can improve the coal recovery rate by mining without the coal pillar. However, scholars and researchers pay little attention to the gob-side entry retained with soft roof, floor, and seam in thin coal seams. In this study, the difficulties and key points of surrounding rock control for gob-side entry retained with soft roof, floor, and seam in thin coal seams were firstly proposed. Secondly, the mechanical model of the interaction between the roadside backfill body and the roof for gob-side entry retained with soft roof, floor, and seam in thin coal seams was established, and the relevant parameters were designed. Finally, the above results were verified by the engineering practice of gob-side entry retained technology and the monitoring of mine pressure on the 1103 working face of the Heilong Coal Mine. Moreover, the effect factors of surrounding rock stability for gob-side entry retained with soft roof, floor, and seam in thin coal seams were discussed using the discrete element method. The results could provide guidance for gob-side entry retained with soft roof, floor, and seam in thin coal seams under similar geological conditions.
Edge-fault-tolerant pancyclicity of 2-tree-generated networks

ABSTRACT Jwo et al. introduced the alternating group graph as an interconnection network topology for computing systems. A graph is pancyclic if it contains cycles of all possible lengths. P-Y Tsai et al. showed that the alternating group graph is pancyclic, and remains pancyclic after the deletion of 2n−6 edges. In this paper we consider a class of Cayley graphs introduced by Cheng et al. that are generated by certain 3-cycles on the alternating group . These graphs are generalizations of the alternating group graph . We look at the case when the 3-cycles form a ‘tree-like structure’, and analyse the pancyclicity of these graphs. We prove that this family of Cayley graphs is -edge-fault-tolerant pancyclic.
A Compact, Low-Profile, Wideband, Electrically Controlled, Tri-Polarization-Reconfigurable Antenna With Quadruple Gap-Coupled Patches

This communication presents a compact, low-profile, wideband, polarization-reconfigurable antenna with right-handed circular polarization (RHCP), left-handed circular polarization (LHCP), and linear polarization (LP) diversity. The antenna consisting of quadruple identical gap-coupled square patches possesses dual wideband degenerate modes, which could be properly allocated by controlling ON/OFF states of four p-i-n diodes integrated into an overlying specially engineered driven element to dynamically produce RHCP, LHCP, and LP radiations. Due to the collaboration between the gap-coupled patches and such a reconfigurable driven element, the proposed design could operate in a wide overlapped bandwidth of 7.1% in the three dynamical states while keeping a compact size of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.56\lambda _{0}\,\,\times \,\,0.56\lambda _{0}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and a low profile of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.037\lambda _{0}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. Benefiting from the advantages of low profile, compact size, and wideband operation in three polarization-reconfigurable states, the proposed antenna is quite suitable for space-limited, wideband, intelligent, and anti-interference wireless systems.
Robust bike-sharing stations allocation and path network design: a two-stage stochastic programming model

ABSTRACT Nowadays, the significance of developing sustainable transport systems is being reconsidered due to the impact produced by an extensive use of private cars. In this scenario, bicycles are becoming more popular. To encourage cycling, bike-sharing systems have been developed. However, as safety is people’s main concern of cycling, bike-sharing systems should be part of an integral project that includes not only docking stations but a dedicated cycle path network connecting them. A two-stage stochastic programming model that maximizes the travel demand covered by the system is developed. Various demand scenarios in terms of different time periods of a day, travel intensities and levels of commuting demand are considered in the model, in order to obtain robust solutions. A real-world case study based on the city of Montevideo in Uruguay is conducted. The obtained solution shows that the model tends to develop bicycle lane network with good connectivity between transit stations and normal stations, and the obtained network possesses good robustness.
Tiny-BDN: An Efficient and Compact Barcode Detection Network

This paper presents a novel approach for accurate barcodes detection in real and challenging environments using compact deep neural networks. Our approach is based on Convolutional Neural Network (<italic>CNN</italic>) and neural network compression, which can detect the four vertexes coordinates of a barcode accurately and quickly. Our approach consists of four stages: (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$i$</tex-math></inline-formula>) feature extraction by a base network, (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$ii$</tex-math></inline-formula>) region proposal network (<italic>RPN</italic>) training, (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$iii$</tex-math></inline-formula>) barcode classification and coordinates regression, and (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$iv$</tex-math></inline-formula>) weights pruning and recoding. The model is trained in the first three stages and then compressed in the fourth stage to reduce the size of the trained model. In order to remove the effect of geometric distortion during barcode decoding, we add a distortion removal module to the end of the trained model. In experiments, we validate our approach on a challenging large-scale dataset. Compared with previous methods, our method can locate the coordinates of a barcode accurately and quickly and enhance decoding rate through distortion removal. In addition, the storage and memory overheads of our model are reduced through model compression, which shows great potential in industrial applications.
Non-Coronary Findings on Cardiac Computed Tomography in Adults: What Radiologists Should Know

Recent advances in technology have made cardiac computed tomography (CT) a useful tool for detection of coronary artery disease. Several studies using 64-slice CT demonstrated high sensitivity (96–99%) and a negative predictive value (93–99%) of cardiac CT in excluding significant coronary artery disease [1-3]. Therefore, cardiac CT can act as a gatekeeper to invasive coronary angiography. In addition, the appropriateness criteria for cardiac CT published by the American College of Cardiology list various non-coronary applications [4]. These include evaluation of 1) complex congenital heart disease, 2) cardiac masses, 3) pericardial conditions, 4) pulmonary vein anatomy prior to invasive radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in atrial fibrillation, 5) noninvasive coronary vein mapping prior to placement of a biventricular pacemaker, 6) suspected aortic dissection or thoracic aortic aneurysm, and 7) suspected pulmonary embolism. In this article, we will review the non-coronary application of cardiac CT and demonstrate typical CT case findings in adults. Because non-electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated CT is usually sufficient to assess a thoracic aortic aneurysm or pulmonary embolism, we excluded these conditions in this pictorial essay.

Asteroid triple-system 2001 SN263: surface characteristics and dynamical environment

The (153591) 2001 SN263 asteroid system, target of the first Brazilian interplanetary space mission, is one of the known three triple systems within the population of NEAs. One of the mission objectives is to collect data about the formation of this system. The analysis of these data will help in the investigation of the physical and dynamical structures of the components (Alpha, Beta and Gamma) of this system, in order to find vestiges related to its origin. In this work, we assume the irregular shape of the 2001 SN263 system components as uniform density polyhedra and computationally investigate the gravitational field generated by these bodies. The goal is to explore the dynamical characteristics of the surface and environment around each component. Then, taking into account the rotational speed, we analyze their topographic features through the quantities geometric altitude, tilt, geopotential, slope, surface accelerations, among others. Additionally, the investigation of the environment around the bodies made it possible to construct zero-velocity curves, which delimit the location of equilibrium points. The Alpha component has a peculiar number of 12 equilibrium points, all of them located very close to its surface. In the cases of Beta and Gamma, we found four equilibrium points not so close to their surfaces. Then, performing numerical experiments around their equilibrium points, we identified the location and size of just one stable region, which is associated with an equilibrium point around Beta. Finally, we integrated a spherical cloud of particles around Alpha and identified the location on the surface of Alpha were the particles have fallen.
Readability levels and their impact on bestselling and award-winning fiction

Novels that make the bestseller list are often thought to have earned the position through good reading quality. It may come as a surprise for some that for a majority of bestselling novels, this is not the case. Generally, bestselling novels have a lower reading level, usually between the 7th and 8th grade. Why do some novels become adult bestsellers if they, judging by their reading level, are written for children? There is a limited amount of research available on readability in bestsellers, leaving the question of ‘what makes a bestseller? ’ shrouded in mystery. In this dissertation I shine some light on one aspect of why some novels sell and others do not. This has been done by comparing the readability scores of three bestselling novels and three award-winning novels against their prospects of saleability, in the hope of determining if there is any correlation. Each novel’s reception by the public has been determined in part by analysing: Goodreads ratings, online reader reviews and interactions with the novel via social media. By comparing the public’s reception of each novel with each book’s reading level, correlations were drawn between a novel’s language level and its saleability. It was found that reading levels are not necessarily higher in award-winning literary fiction than in genre fiction, and while a correlation can be found between reading levels and online reader reviews, after taking the contextual issues of each novel into account, it was concluded that reading level has little to no effect on the percentage of ratings received on Goodreads nor the amount of interaction readers have with a novel’s marketing or promotional material. While reading levels provide insights into a book’s possible commercial success they are not able to provide a definite answer, prompting the need for more quantifiable research to be carried out in this subject area.
