Authors: Sánchez-González Carmen Lissette , Garza-Bueno Laura Elena , Zapata-Martelo Emma , Cruz-Galindo Bartolomé
Published: October 2017

México presenta una oferta reducida de servicios microfinancieros en el medio rural como resultado, entre otros, de la dificultad de las instituciones microfinancieras para evaluar con mayor certeza el riesgo de no pago. La presente investigación busca contribuir a mejorar las herramientas de evaluación del riesgo, profundizando en las estrategias de supervivencia de la población rural y en sus formas de organización para la toma de decisiones como factores que inciden en la devolución de los préstamos. Para ello se identificaron la diversidad de actividades económicas que realiza el grupo doméstico y la forma en que este se organiza para la toma de decisiones y la participación de la mujer en la misma. Posteriormente se analizó la relación de dichas variables con la incidencia en el riesgo de no pago de los créditos. La investigación tomó como unidad de estudio a la Sociedad Cooperativa Campesinos de Zacapoaxtla, ubicada en el Estado de Puebla, México. Los resultados muestran que la diversidad de actividades económicas, así como la organización del grupo doméstico en lo referido a la participación femenina, inciden positivamente en el pago de los créditos contratados.
El mercado de huevo para plato en México, 1960-2012
Authors: Cruz-Jiménez Susana , García-Mata Roberto , Mora-Flores José S. , García-Sánchez Roberto C.
Published: October 2017

El huevo es importante en la alimentación humana por su alto índice proteínico y amplia disponibilidad en el mercado; es de fácil preparación y con precio competitivo contra otras fuentes de proteína de origen animal. En 2012 México registró un consumo de 20.8 kilogramos, el mayor per cápita de huevo en el mundo. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el mercado del huevo para plato en México y sus factores determinantes. Se utilizó un modelo econométrico de ecuaciones simultáneas con información del periodo 1970-2012. La oferta resultó inelástica a los precios al productor de huevo, pollo y alimento balanceado; la demanda es inelástica a los precios al consumidor de huevo, chile, carne de porcino, frijol, y al ingreso. El incremento del precio nominal al consumidor de huevo de 73 %, que se registró entre julio y agosto de 2012, por efecto de la caída en la producción originada por el brote de gripe aviar, debió aumentar solo 45.78 %; la diferencia se debió a cuestiones especulativas.
Efecto de la alimentación con desperdicios orgánicos sobre la producción y reproducción de vacas lecheras.
Authors: Losada-Custardoy Hermenegildo , López-González Manuel A. , Cortés-Zorilla José , Luna-Rodríguez Lorena , Vieyra-Durán Jorge E. , Vargas-Romero Juan M.
Published: October 2017

Para analizar el efecto de alimentos no convencionales sobre el costo de producción de la leche y las variables productivasreproductivas, 32 vacas Holstein fueron seleccionadas por número de parto y condición corporal. Se evaluaron dos sistemas de alimentación: el primero incluyó desperdicios orgá- nicos, alimento balanceado comercial y forraje (ANC), y en el segundo se utilizó alimento balanceado comercial y forraje (AC). Se encontró que el tipo de alimentación no influyó en la producción láctea ni en el intervalo parto-primer calor, y que el número de parto (edad) de la vaca favoreció la producción de leche y el retorno al rastro después del parto. Con estos datos, se puede afirmar que la sustitución de alimentos balanceados comerciales por desperdicios orgánicos no afecta las variables productivas-reproductivas en las vacas y disminuye el costo de producción de la leche. También se discute la posibilidad de que los productores de leche de Iztapalapa sustituyan parte de la dieta convencional, incorporando desperdicios orgánicos.

Authors: Amaro-Rosales Marcela , De Gortari-Rabiela Rebeca
Published: October 2017

Las políticas de transferencia tecnológica e innovación para el sector agrícola en México se han apoyado principalmente en las acciones del llamado “extensionismo”, el cual ha comprendido básicamente la asistencia técnica, la capacitación y el soporte tecnológico en el uso de insumos y maquinaria. En este trabajo se presenta una síntesis de los principales hitos en la política de extensionismo en México, centrado en la caracterización de la política actual a través del Programa de Proyectos Integrales de Innovación y Extensión (PIIEX) operado por la Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y Alimentación (SAGARPA). El objetivo fue analizar las principales modificaciones de estrategia y la visión de la política de transferencia tecnológica e innovación y el rol del extensionismo, a través de la implementación de dicho programa. La metodología de esta investigación está basada en 40 entrevistas realizadas, con los funcionarios de la SAGARPA encargados del programa y de su puesta en práctica, y con productores participantes en dichos programas; además de rescatar la experiencia de nuestra participación en distintos eventos que la Secretaria realizó para poner en marcha dicha política.
Formulación de programas especiales concurrentes de desarrollo rural sustentable: lecciones para México.
Authors: Santoyo Cortés Vinicio Horacio , Leos Rodríguez Juan Antonio , Barrera Rodríguez Ariadna Isabel , Palacio Muñoz Víctor Herminio
Published: October 2017

La ineficiencia del gasto público en desarrollo rural en México se deriva de la inadecuada identificación de los problemas pú- blicos, desfases presupuestales, deficiencias en la dispersión y focalización, lo cual expresa una baja coordinación entre dependencias y actores involucrados. Con el fin de contribuir a contrarrestar dichas limitantes en 2012 se elaboraron 15 programas especiales concurrentes estatales (PECE) bajo la dirección del Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA) y otras instancias gubernamentales. Este trabajo evalúo la aplicación de la metodología empleada en la formulación de los PECE. Los resultados indicaron que los PTC, constituyen un primer ejercicio de definición de objetivos, visiones y acciones concurrentes entre algunas dependencias, importantes en términos de las estrategias de intervención. El marco lógico resultó útil para generar una visión compartida y compromiso en torno a prioridades de inversión rural territorial. La participación de un agente orquestador que ofreció método, soporte técnico y seguimiento fue determinante en la continuidad y coherencia del proceso.

Published: October 2017

The aim of study was to analyze the testis morphology of males tuviras (Gymnotus spp.) submitted to reproduction by different hormonal inducers. Forty male tuviras (40g ± 5.0) were used approximately in a completely randomized design with four treatments and 10 replicates; each animal was considered a repetition. For hormonal protocol establishment were tested three inducers: crude extract of carp pituitary (EBHC), equine chorionic gonadotropin (ECG), synthetic analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH-a) and the control group was administered saline solution at 2%. The three hormones and control were applied in two doses (preparatory and final induction). Ten males per treatment were euthanized for macroscopic and microscopic analysis. It was determined volumetric proportion occupied by the components of testicular parenchyma (seminiferous tubules and intertubular tissue) and quantified populations of spermatogonia type A, type B, primary spermatocytes, secondary spermatocytes, spermatids, Sertoli cells (S) and lumen measurement . The results indicated that the hormone GnRH-a showed a higher capacity to promote the final maturation of the testes (P < 0.05), followed by eCG hormone. The EBHC hormone failed to promote the final maturation in males tuviras.

Published: October 2017

Fungi and their storage conditions (moisture) and contamination by mycotoxins in foods offered to sheep were evaluated. Crioula animals created at Farm Ressacada – UFSC and with weakened health. The samples of alfalfa hay (Medicago sativa L.) were stored at 3 points (entrance of the shed, sheepfold and room), besides (b) pasture (B. decumbens) obtained in the field and (c) ration (Corn and soybean) stored in the sheepfold. The most detected fungal genus was Aspergillus, followed by Penicillium in 75 and 40% of the samples, respectively. Toxigenic strains (AFLs producers) were identified. As regards moisture (mc and aw) the contents ranged from 12-40% (mean: 12%) and aw: 0.5029-0.9888 (mean: 0.5783), considered adequate for fungal growth. Mycotoxins (AFLs: AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2) were detected at levels of 128 μg/kg in the hay samples. Cleaning conditions (warehouse and machinery) are of the utmost importance, since samples newly arrived at the shelter of the sheep are contaminated.

Published: October 2017

Myelopathy due to fibrocartilaginous embolism is characterized by an infarction of the spinal cord caused by fibrocartilaginous embolism identical to the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc. Of rare occurrence and described mainly in adult and large dogs, it can also be found in small dogs. The present report occurred in a two and a half year old canine, West Highland White Terrier, who was treated at a veterinary hospital with sudden tetraparesis, where he remained hospitalized for twenty one days and after being discharged, treatment for sixty days. The diagnosis was made through clinical signs, biochemical tests to exclude differential diagnoses and computed tomography that identified the thrombus in the cervical region. The treatment consisted of nursing care, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and acupuncture sessions. After 180 days of spinal cord injury, the animal had the right front limb without full elbow flexion as a sequel of a probable brachial plexus injury, with sensitivity to deep pain, walkking with the aid of a walker and rising alone.

La Teledetección satelital y los sistemas de protección ambiental
Authors: Sacristán Romero Francisco
Published: October 2017

La Teledetección ofrece grandes posibilidades para la realización de progresos en el conocimiento de la naturaleza, aunque todavía no se ha logrado todo lo que de ella se esperaba debido a que se deben realizar perfeccionamientos en el nivel de resolución espacial, espectral y temporal de los datos. Además, es necesario un mayor rigor científico en la interpretación de los resultados obtenidos, tratando de no extraer conclusiones definitivas de los estudios medioambientales realizados mediante técnicas de Teledetección. Los modelos que se elaboran para interpretar los datos de Teledetección, deberán tener como objetivo eliminar los efectos ocasionados por la variabilidad en las condiciones de captación, la distorsión provocada por la atmósfera, y la influencia de parámetros tales como la posición del Sol, pendiente, exposición, y altitud. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22518/16578953.701
Situación y necesidad de la pequeña y mediana empresa
Authors: Cala Hederich Álvaro
Published: October 2017

Hoy en día se considera que la actividad de las Pymes es muy importante para la economía Colombiana. Después de los noventa, se reconoció que en Colombia existía gran cantidad de Pymes desconocidas y dispersas, que no tenían ningún tipo de protección o ayuda, no obstante estaban contribuyendo sustancialmente al Producto Interno Bruto. Se estima que hay un número por encima de un millón de Pymes que aportan más del 50% del Producto Interno bruto, y generan la mayor parte del empleo nacional. Existen una gran mayoría sin ninguna clase de registro. Solamente una pequeña parte están registradas y cumplen todos los requerimientos legales. La Escuela de Negocios y Ciencias Empresariales de la Universidad Sergio Arboleda, ha decidido desarrollar investigaciones sobre la realidad de la Pyme colombiana, con el objetivo de ampliar el conocimiento y el potencial de estas pequeñas empresas. Tener información precisa sobre esas compañías es algo difícil porque la gran mayoría al no encontrarse registradas no generan información o estadísticas sobre ellas. Entonces, la Universidad planea investigar todo el universo de las Pymes, a través de encuestas, utilizando buenas metodologías y realizando correctos análisis. Los resultados obtenidos podrán aportar buenas recomendaciones para el establecimiento de políticas económicas y sociales. El presente ensayo formula once propuestas puntuales sobre acciones benéficas en favor de las Pymes. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22518/16578953.703

Una revisión contemporánea a la doctrina de la distinción de poderes
Authors: Gómez Velásquez Alejandro , Montoya Brand Mario
Published: October 2017

La distinción de poderes es una doctrina típicamente moderna. Con ella, se suele hacer referencia conjunta a los principios de división del poder, separación entre poderes y frenos y contrapesos entre los órganos del poder político. Esta doctrina guarda vigencia en nuestros días, en tanto, se suele partir de ella para estructurar los Estados desde la modernidad hasta nuestros días. Sin embargo, a raíz de los retos que enfrenta el Estado contemporáneo, dicha doctrina se encuentra en entredicho, por lo que han aparecido defensores y detractores contemporáneos de la misma. En este orden de ideas, el presente documento ofrece algunas precisiones sobre los orígenes, alcances y contenidos de la distinción de poderes al acudir a sus orígenes doctrinales. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22518/16578953.817
Imagen, virtualidad y heterotopía. Reflexiones acerca de la imagen y su función heterotópica
Authors: Parra Valencia Juan Diego
Published: October 2017

El presente artículo aborda la noción de imagen, como campo problemático, más allá del régimen semiológico instaurado desde los modelos lingüísticos. En general, la noción de imagen ha estado vinculada solo a la idea de “representación”, desde la cual se logró domesticar su potencial instaurador de estados de sensibilidad. Consideramos pertinente ampliar campos de reflexión sobre aspectos que no se restrinjan a su funcionalidad representacional y para ello, nos apoyaremos en el concepto de heterotopía de Michel Foucault, el cual nos servirá de ayuda, por cuanto expande el campo de reflexión estética y permite integrar a la dimensión simbólica, la función virtualizante de la imagen como productora de estados de sensibilidad. La imagen, a nuestro entender, funciona como una heterotopía, es una tipología espacio-temporal no convencional, y por tanto es estructurante y configuradora de realidad, tanto en términos sensibles como inteligibles. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22518/16578953.828

“Ayudarnos es parte de nuestra cultura”. Estrategias de los migrantes ante la crisis económica: El caso de la población senegalesa en Granada
Authors: López Fernández Rosalía , Maroto Blanco José Manuel
Published: October 2017

Los efectos de la crisis económica han tenido un profundo impacto en el conjunto de la población, aunque la repercusión para la población inmigrante extranjera en general se ha visto magnificada por una serie de condiciones de partida que ya los situaban en posiciones de vulnerabilidad social. En este texto se pretende mostrar cómo los inmigrantes senegaleses de la ciudad de Granada han sufrido igualmente los efectos de esta crisis y cómo han puesto en marcha una serie de estrategias, basadas en el sentimiento de una cultura compartida y de una identidad senegalesa, mediante las cuales han hecho frente a la desatención institucional que ha sido justificada principalmente en términos económicos. El análisis de estas estrategias pone de manifiesto la manera en la que el colectivo senegalés afronta la crisis con menores costes sociales y personales, amortiguando el impacto negativo que la reducción de recursos públicos destinados a la atención de la población inmigrante ha tenido.  The effects of the economic crisis have had a profound impact on the whole population, although the impact for the foreign immigrant population has been magnified due to a serie of initial conditions which allocated them in positions of social vulnerability. This text is intended to show how Senegalese immigrants of the city of Granada have also suffered the effects of the economic crisis and how they have developed certain strategies based on the feeling of a shared culture and a Senegalese identity whereby they have faced the crisis and the institutional neglect that has been justified primarily in economic terms. The analysis of the strategies shows how the Senegalese community faces the crisis with the lower social and personal costs, cushioning the negative impact that the reduction of public resources destined to the attention of the immigrant population has had.
The Ideational Approach to Populism
Authors: Hawkins Kirk A. , Rovira Kaltwasser Cristóbal
Published: October 2017

Although the study of populism has traditionally been the domain of Latin Americanists, research here has become increasingly comparative. One of the most important payoffs of this comparative work is conceptual. Rather than defining populism in structuralist, economic, or political-strategic terms, a growing number of scholars around the world are using an ideational conceptualization that draws heavily from earlier discursive theories. By employing the ideational approach, scholars have been able to provide empirical measures of populist discourse. In this article we explain and show the advantages of this ideational approach to a Latin American audience by presenting a new historical dataset measuring the discourse of Argentine, Chilean, and Peruvian presidents across the twentieth century. Our main intent is to clarify the ideational approach as well as to enliven the conceptual debate. While we are critical of alternative definitions, we acknowledge and reassess their theoretical insights.

Authors: Azambuja Gina Pipoli de
Published: October 2017

The purpose of the research is analyze the association of the purchase intention of Peruvian gastronomy with the following set of variables: the country image of Peru, the gastronomy’s product image, the familiarity with Peru, and the gastronomy’s product familiarity. Such association has not been studied for country familiarity variable, and for Peruvian gastronomy. A qualitative method to compile the primary information and the survey technique was used. Additionally, a questionnaire of closed questions was applied to undergraduate and graduate students in two selected samples that correspond to the consumers of two countries with different levels of familiarity with Peru: United States whose level of familiarity is high and France whose level of familiarity is low. It was concluded that there is a positive relation between the intent to purchase of Peruvian gastronomy with the country image of Peru, the gastronomy’s product image, the familiarity with Peru, and the gastronomy’s product familiarity. In addition, the country image of Peru is statistically significant associated with purchase intention of Peruvian gastronomy for the case of foreign consumers with high and low familiarity with Peru.
The Impact of Social Capital on FDI in Georgia
Authors: Aghladze Natia
Published: October 2017

FDI brings capital, innovation exchanges and new employments and administration aptitude. In numerous nations, FDI inflow is lower than anticipated. In spite of the inclination for more extensive large scale level examinations of the particular social developments inside which financial exercises happen, a considerable measure of national-level investigations of the determinants of outside contributed firms have given careful consideration to the parts played by social capital and its unexpected incentive in influencing remote direct venture inflows. Drawing on the rationale of social capital and institutional hypothesis, this article looks to offer a correlative clarification of FDI by inspecting experimentally the national-level effects of social capital (trust and affiliated action) on FDI and the directing part of administrative quality in its connections. FDI is the essential part for an open and fruitful global monetary framework and a noteworthy instrument for improvement. In this condition, the paper looks at the advantages of FDI as a key segment for fruitful and feasible financial development and as a piece of a strategy to social change. The point is to feature the most vital channels through which FDI makes a huge and uncommon effect on the monetary advancement of the host nations.

Published: October 2017

Renewable energy, efficiency energy, green industries and the development of the green economy are generally attracting attention all over the world. Albania needs investments for this type of energy, given that, in the 21st century, is still unable to fulfill the minimum needs of energy. The aim of this study was to identificate the use of solar panels in the Kombinat area by completing a questionnaire. Residents of this area who were equipped with a solar panel are asked about how they used and the benefits that they have from the solar panel, indicating that warm water is widely used in their home. Another purpose of this study was to inform the residents of this area about the economic and environmental benefits to use the solar panels. Interviewers are asked what kind of energy use to heat their homes. Arguments have been that most of them use electricity then gas. They also use woods in chimneys or stoves more over most of them said that they save 30% of the previous amount of the electricity bill. We also informed and aware the public about the negative impacts in the environment, agriculture and the economy of the country from the use of non-renewable energy. Sun light energy is absolutely free and can be utilized by all without exception and keep the environment clean during use and is also controllable by humans.
The Role of Higher Education in Promoting Social Mobility in Indonesia
Authors: Arifin Muhammad Husni
Published: October 2017

This paper explains the link between higher education and social mobility in Indonesia. There are several theoretical frameworks talking about the link between higher education and social mobility and the relevant theory of them is Raymond Boudon’s Inequality of Educational Opportunity (IEO) and Inequality of Social Opportunity (ISO). The results reveal that the link between higher education and social mobility in Indonesia is influenced by other factors: inequality of social-economy and geography and cultural disparities. Furthermore, the more decreasing inequality in the society, the more people can go to higher education and in turn will promote upward social mobility.
Organic Food Perspective in Developing Countries: An Overview of Polog Region and a Case Study in the Republic of Macedonia
Authors: Matoshi Ruzhdi , Veseli Besa
Published: October 2017

Technical and technological advances in food production have brought substantial changes in quantity, quality, diversification and availability of food. The food industry is driven by business activity and objectives, which in turn have considerably affected consumer behavior. While the consumers in general are ready to get adopted and accept the variety of food due to business globalization, thus increasing their preferences to the food that was not available to their vicinity in the past and to the industrial processing such as additives and flavor for extending the duration of consumer durables, a concern has been raised; organic food in a traditional way is healthier. State institutions from their own side have passed many regulations to ensure that food industry and production meets the needed criteria of safety for consumption while businesses compete against each other primarily in making their own way to profit. Yet, an increasing number of consumers worldwide, for their own safety, find it more preferable to undertake a degree of food processing or preparing it on their own. This paper looks at the trend of this consumer behavior in the Polog Region of the Republic of Macedonia, supplemented by a case study of an organic food restaurant located in the city of Tetovo.

En este trabajo se realiza un análisis descriptivo y cualitativo del contenido del extracto de la cuenta de la Candelaria o extracto de la cuenta de cobros y pagos realizados por el tesorero del Temple para Blanca de Castilla, reina madre de Francia, del 2 de febrero de 1243, que nos ofrece un ejemplo de la rendición de cuentas del Temple a uno de sus clientes. Documento en el que existe cierta discusión acerca de la posible existencia de vestigios del uso de la partida doble.
The Open Textbook Toolkit: Seeding Successful Partnerships for Collaboration between Academic Libraries and University Presses
Authors: Waller Mira , Cross William M. , Rigling Lillian
Published: October 2017

Libraries and university presses coexist in a complex and increasingly consolidated scholarly communication ecosystem. Each brings different strengths, values, and viewpoints that can inform and enrich a joint project. In this paper we discuss potential barriers to and benefits of collaboration between academic libraries and university presses and introduce a case study of such a collaboration: the Open Textbook Toolkit. This project, funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, is currently investigating the components needed to support faculty in one discipline, psychology, who are considering adopting open educational resources. By leveraging both library and press expertise, the Toolkit represents one model for fruitful collaboration.

Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acquired polyradiculo-neuropathy, often preceded by an antecedent event. It is a monophasic disease but a recurrence rate of 16 % is documented in a subset group of patients.Case presentation: Thirty-five-years-old female with past history of near complete recovery following Guillain-Barré syndrome 17 years back presented with acute, ascending symmetrical flaccid quadriparasis extending to bulbar muscles and respiratory compromise needing mechanical ventilation. Nerve conduction study revealed AMAN variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis done after 1 weeks during recurrent episode revealed albuminocytologic dissociation. She was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin resulting in a remarkable recovery.Conclusion: Recurrence of Guillain-Barré syndrome can occur in a subset of patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome even after many years of asymptomatic period. Most patients with recurrent GBS respond favourably to treatment with plasmapheresis or IVIG.Bangladesh Crit Care J September 2017; 5(2): 135-138

Published: October 2017

Background: Arterial hypertension is one of the leading modifiable risk factor in coronary artery disease patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with the major impact on clinical outcome in these patients. This study was done to evaluate the effect of arterial hypertension on postoperative mortality and morbidity after off-pump CABG.Methods: 200 patients with mean age of 52 ± 6 years, (182 male/18 female) undergoing off pump CABG were divided equally into two groups, 100 patients with hypertension (Group A) and 100 patients without hypertension (Group B). Postoperative mortality and morbidities (Wound infection, AMI, TIA, Stroke) up to 6 months were recorded in the 2 groups.Results: In comparison with the normotensive patients, hypertensive patients had a higher mortality rate (Group A 10% and Group B 2%, p value-<0.05) and increased frequency of myocardial infarction (Group A 12 % and Group B 3%, p value - <0.05). There was also increased rate of infection in hypertensive patients (Group A 13 % and Group B 4%, p value - <0.05). We found that hypertensive patients developed post-operative cerebrovascular complications like TIA (Group A 8 % and Group B 1%, p value - <0.05) and stroke (Group A 11 % and Group B 2%, p value - <0.05) more frequently than normotensive patients. Post-operative ventilator support and duration of hospital stay were almost similar in both groups.Conclusions: Among CABG patients, those with a history of hypertension have an increased frequency of post-operative complications and increased mortality.Cardiovasc. j. 2017; 10(1): 13-16
Outcome and Quality of Life of Patients following Valve Replacement Surgery: Predictors of Healthy Survival
Authors: Aftabuddin M
Published: October 2017

Background: In search of factors influencing the postoperative health-related quality of life after heart valve replacement, the present study was designed to see the effects of valve replacement on the long-term healthy survival. The aim of the study was to explore whether the Preoperative variables, such as clinical characteristics and test data could he used to predict the effects of valve replacement on functional status and quality of life in patients with heart valve malfunctions after alter surgical intervention.Method: We retrospectively identified 200 patients who underwent heart valve replacement for stenosis between 2005 and 20l2 in the department of Cardiac Surgery. BSMMU. Dhaka. Bangladesh and survived the surgery and initial 30 day postoperative period. Late follow-up between January 2013 and July 2015 was done and completed in 50% cases.Results: Among 100 study population, 47 were male and the rest 53 were female, aged 22 to 65 years (mean 37.0±7.4 years). The quality of life was assessed with the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form -36 (MOS SF-36) and the functional outcome was evaluated using New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class scores, in addition to analysis of laboratory tests, like ECG, X-ray chest, echocardiography, prothrombin time. Evaluation of preoperative medical history revealed that there were hypertension in 7l%, diabetes mellitus in l3%, and history of stroke in 09% patients. Prolonged length of stay in intensive care unit and in hospital (mean: 14.7 and 37.l days respectively) was observed in 17% patients. Late postoperative survival rate was 86% at l year and 63% at the end of 5 years. Predictors of late morbidity and mortality were Preoperative or Perioperative complications, preoperative history of stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. postoperative renal dysfunction. The mean NYHA functional class for all late survivors improved from 3.6 ± 0.9 to 1.9 ± 0.7. Late survival was worse for those who were in an advanced NYHA functional class before surgery. Patient in NYHA Functional class Ill and IV had a worse late survival late than those in Class I or ll. There was Significant improvement in all 8 health domains of the SF-36 Questionnaire in the overall sample.Conclusion: The present study indicated that the late survival rate and functional outcome after heart valve replacement in Bangladeshi population with major valvular dysfunction was satisfactory. It was also observed that the preoperative physical as well as mental health status were identified as the only risk factors for potential non-improving quality of healthy survival following heart valve replacement after correction for age, gender and type after surgery.Cardiovasc. j. 2017; 10(1): 21-30

Endometriosis may be defined as presence of functioning endometrium (glands and stroma) in sites other than uterine mucosa. The prevalence of endometriosis is about 10%. According to Nominato, cesarean section remains the most common surgical procedure related to the development of abdominal wall scar endometriosis1. But endometriosis sometimes presented to general surgeons as a lump in the abdomen. It can pose a diagnostic dilemma and should be in the differential diagnosis of lumps in the abdomen in females. Diagnosis is usually made following histological examination. This is a case report of abdominal wall endometriosis following cesarean section. This report discusses and evaluates the incidence, course, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this condition.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2017; 35(3): 147-149

Published: October 2017

Background: Postoperative mediastinal bleeding in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is still one of the most common complications. Objective: This study was intended to investigate the efficacy of topical tranexamic acid in reducing postoperative bleeding after OPCAB surgery. Methodology: This non-randomized, double blinded, clinical trial was conducted in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Dhaka, Bangladesh during January 2014 to December 2015 for a period of two (2) years. Patients undergone CABG after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria was recruited for this study. They were assigned in two groups 30 patients in tranexamic acid group (Group 1) and 30 patients in placebo group (Group 2). On completion of the grafting, before closure of the sternum tranexamic acid (2.5 g/25 mL) or placebo (25 mL of saline) diluted in 100 mL of warm saline (37° C) was instilled into the pericardial cavity including the mediastinal tissues and left for 5 minutes. Then it was cleared out by wall sucker and sternum was closed. Result: There was no significant difference in baseline demographic data, basic clinical characteristics and preoperative coagulation profile between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Total mediastinal bleeding in group 1 and group 2 patients were 421.67±70.32 vs 593.33±77.38 ml (p<0.001). In case of, whole blood transfusion in group 1 and group 2 patients were 0.87±0.0.73 units and 1.77±0.57 units respectively (p<0.001). No patient required reoperation for bleeding and there was no incidence of prolonged ventilation, MI, thromboembolism, DVT or CVA in any of the patients in either group. Conclusion: In conclusion the efficacy of topical tranexamic acid is helpful for reducing postoperative bleeding after OPCAB surgery.
