Objective: To compare mean early post-operative pain and frequency of wound healing of pilonidal sinus using application of crystallized phenol versus wide excision with open healing. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial. Setting: Department of Surgical, Allied Hospital Faisalabad. Period: 13-10-2018 to 12-04-2019. Material & Methods: A total of 60 patients were operated in our unit during the study period and were allocated into two groups randomly: Group A and Group B. The patients in Group A underwent treatment using crystallized phenol. Patients in Group B underwent wide local excision of the pilonidal sinus tract. All patients were given single dose of broad-spectrum antibiotic at time of procedure. Analgesia in post-operative period was maintained by using Diclofenac Sodium (Inj Artifen 75mg/3ml IM) as requested by the patient as long as the safe dose is not exceeded. First assessment of all patients was done at 24 hours after surgery. The analgesic requirement and visual analog scale score were documented for patients of both groups at this time. Follow up visit for patients in both groups was scheduled at 3 weeks after treatment. All the data was collected with the help of a specially designed Performa. Results: Mean pain score in Group-A was calculated as 1.36±0.55 and in Group-B it was 3.23±0.82, p value was 0.0001, comparison of wound healing in both groups shows that wound healing in Group-A was in 80%(n=24) and in Group-B, it was 30%(n=9), p value was 0.0001. Conclusion: We concluded that mean early post-operative pain and frequency of wound healing of pilonidal sinus using application of crystallized phenol is significantly lower when compared with wide excision with open healing.

Objectives: To determine the correlation of red cell indices with age and gender in a hospital based study. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Department of Pathology, Qazi Hussain Ahmed Medical Complex Nowshera. Period: 1st June 2019 to 10th December 2019. Material & Methods: A Total of 298 smears were studied. Descriptive statistics for numerical variables and Pearson & Spearman correlation tests were used. Results: The Mean with Standard Deviation of age was (27years+ 16.8), Hb% (11+ 2.6 g/dl), HCT (36.06%+ 10.3), MCV (84 fl + 12.4), MCH (27.7 pg + 3.7), MCHC (32 g/dl + 2.06) and RDW (42.89 fl + 5.6). The distribution of all red cell indices was the same across the categories of gender groups (p>0.05). Age as a variable has an inverse statistically significant relation with HCT, MCH, MCV and RDW (p=0.001) but it does not have any significant affect on Hb% & MCHC. Hemoglobin had a mild to moderate positive correlation with other indices like MCV, MCH, MCHC, HCT (p=0.001, r=0.2 to 0.4), while it has no statistically significant relation with RDW, Age. HCT has positive correlation with Hb%, MCH and MCHC (p=0.001) and a negative correlation with MCV, RDW and Age (p=0.001). Conclusion: Gender has no significant association with red cell indices, However an increase in age has an inverse correlation with HCT, MCH, MCV and RDW.

Setting: Sehat Insaf Card Authorized Hospitals. Period: July 2020 to December 2020. Material & Methods: Data was collected via self-administered questionnaire. The sample size was 316. Non-probability purposive sampling was done. The questionnaire consisted of three parts; Part A: Demographics, Part B: Awareness, Part C: Utilization Effectiveness. IBM, SPSS statistics version 25 was used for data entry. Descriptive statistics like frequency, percentage and proportion were measured. Results: Most of the participants belong to the rural area and fall into the category of 10 – 20 thousand monthly income. The awareness about program came from 2 main sources; Word of mouth and campaign by a local party representative. Majority of the services availed were curative services i.e. 72.8%. Before the launch of SSP, 3/4 of the participants self-paid their medical bills and with this program, its 100% free. 72.8% of the total participants were satisﬁed with the transportation charges covered in SSP. 92% of the total participants felt no discrimination in hospital in any regard, either from the doctor or the paramedical staff. 99.4% of the total participants were of the opinion that Govt of Pakistan should launch similar new programs. Conclusion: Sehat Insaaf Card distribution among the under-privileged citizens was almost similar in the urban and rural population of Rawalpindi. More involvement of females is need of the hour.

Historical overview of refractory lining in the blast furnace
Authors: Volkov‐Husović Tatjana , Martinovic Sanja , Vlahovic Milica
Published: July 2022

The majority of refractories used today are associated with the iron and steel industries. Typically, the refractory lining of a blast furnace consists of a combination of different refractory materials chosen for different portions of the furnace, as well as distinct process conditions and temperature ranges. Knowledge and requirements for the iron manufacturing system in conjunction with the physical, mechanical, and chemical qualities of the proposed refractories determine the choice of refractory combination. Inadequate understanding of the aforementioned components frequently results in refractory failure, which then becomes a difficult problem to tackle. A blast furnace's refractory liner typically fails owing to any number or combination of these variables. To facilitate comprehension, we will explain the types of refractory lining required in a blast furnace by region, as well as the observed trend in refractory lining patterns over the past few decades.

Minimasi waste dapat meningkatkan profit perusahaan sehingga dapat memenuhi permintaan konsumen. Identifikasi waste yang timbul pada unit produksi merupakan langkah awal untuk melakukan tindakan minimasi waste. Pada lantai produksi Crude Palm Oil (CPO) terdapat enam stasiun kerja yaitu Timbangan, Loading Ramp, Sterilizer, Thresher, Pressing dan Clarification. Kegiatan dilakukan pada setiap stasiun kerja sangat kompleks dan panjang yang memungkinkan terjadinya kegiatan yang tidak mempunyai nilai tambah atau non value added (NVA). Perusahaan dapat mengurangi NVA melalui berbagai kegiatan produksi dengan Lean Manufacturing. Metode yang diaplikasikan untuk mengidentifikasikan waste adalah metode Waste Assessment Model. Metode ini bertujuan untuk memudahkan dan menyederhanakan permasalahan waste untuk dapat mengidentifikasi waste yang paling kritis. Berdasarkan identifikasi waste dengan menggunakan metode Waste Assessment Model diperoleh hasil waste yaitu Overproduction 25%, Defect 20%, Waiting 18%, Transportation 14%, Inventory 13%, Motion 7%, dan Process 3%. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi, tiga persentase terbesar menjadi waste kritis yaitu overproduction, defects, dan waiting. Hasil pengelompokkan ini dapat ditentukan akar permasalahan dengan menggunakan metode fishbone diagram, sehingga dapat memberikan rekomendasi perbaikan terhadap waste yang terjadi.
