Earnings Growth and Value Premium: The Indian Experience
Authors: Saji T G , Harikumar S
Published: January 2016

Executive Summary

This article addresses two main questions: Does a value premium exist in emerging market like India? If so, how pervasive is it in different market conditions? Value premium is assumed to be the difference in stock returns of undervalued and overvalued firms with a unique industry profile.

The sample for the study consisted of 32 companies from the Information Technology (IT) sector, the stocks of which had traded continuously in the National Stock Exchange (NSE) during the period 2000–2010. Prowess and Capitaline constitute the sources for the firm-level financial data, and NSE web sources provide data related to share prices and market capitalization.

The study involved a two-step empirical procedure: an exploratory factor analysis and a regression modelling under Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. Exploratory factor analysis identified earnings growth and Earnings Price (E/P) rate as the prime determinants of stock returns. Expected earnings growth significantly explained E/P rate under OLS regression framework. The study then estimated normal E/P rate for the individual stock and compared the same with the actual E/P. If the actual E/P for a particular stock was greater than its estimated E/P, it was inferred that the stock was undervalued, the reverse being the case for overvaluation.

The findings of this research provide empirical validity of use of E/P rate in identifying mispriced stocks in the Indian context. Undervalued stocks can produce better returns compared to overvalued stocks, and their success has been both persistent and impressive. E/P rate or P/E ratio is a valuable analytic device when properly interpreted. The publicly available E/P rate seems to possess information content and warrants an investor’s attention at the time of his portfolio formation or revision. The search process involving E/P rate suggests that the best buy would be the stock whose reported earnings per share is expected to grow most rapidly.
Political history of Farakka Barrage and its effects on environment in Bangladesh
Authors: Kawser Mohammad Abul , Abdus Samad Md.
Published: January 2016

Soon after the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, India took initiative to construct a barrage on its side of the Ganges and commissioned it in 1975. In the past few decades, many of the 54 Bangladeshi Rivers that originate in India have either been diverted or dammed upstream, inside India. All of these hydro-developmental initiatives have left a profound impact on Bangladesh as it is at the receiving end of the Himalayan fluvial regime. In particular, Bangladesh’s agriculture, fisheries, and human health and wellbeing are reported to have been significantly affected by the disruption of natural water flow in its rivers. The debate over the water sharing issues between India and Bangladesh dates back as early as their birth but the historical developments of the disputes have never been adequately addressed in settling the issues. This paper analyzes the political developments in Bangladesh and India over Farakka issue from historical perspectives. It also reveals the adverse effects of Farakka Barrage on environment in Bangladesh. The aim is to provide policy makers with the insights into historical developments of disputes centred on Farakka Barrage to contribute towards better water governance.
The power of language: Use in psychiatry
Authors: El-Mallakh Rif S. , Doenninghaus Sabine
Published: January 2016

Language dictates how individuals process and understand concepts. This
phenomenon is examined for the terms ‘antipsychotic’ and ‘antidepressant’.
When the use of medications is extended in new directions (for example when
an antipsychotic is used as an antidepressant), the name not only loses its
utility, but may become an obstacle to treatment. Clinicians need to be
aware of these issues.
Research into hallucinations and psychotic-like symptoms in
children: Implications for child psychiatric practice
Authors: Garralda M. Elena
Published: January 2016

There is a growing research interest in childhood hallucinations as
predictors of psychotic states. This work appears to have limited direct
relevance for clinical child psychiatric practice, but it highlights the
continuing relevance of research into precursors of psychotic states and
into the determinants of clinically relevant hallucinations in children.
Resting vagal activity in schizophrenia: Meta-analysis of heart
rate variability as a potential endophenotype
Authors: Clamor Annika , Lincoln Tania M. , Thayer Julian F. , Koenig Julian
Published: January 2016

Background

Cardiac vagal tone, indexed by heart rate variability (HRV), is a proxy
for the functional integrity of feedback mechanisms integrating central
and peripheral physiology.

Aims

To quantify differences in HRV in individuals with schizophrenia compared
with healthy controls.

Method

Databases were systematically searched for studies eligible for
inclusion. Random effect meta-analyses of standardised mean differences
were calculated for vagal activity indicated by high-frequency HRV and
the root mean square of successive R–R interval differences (RMSSD).

Results

Thirty-four studies were included. Significant main effects were found
for high-frequency HRV (P = 0.0008; Hedges'
g =–0.98, 95% CI −1.56 to −0.41, k =
29) and RMSSD (P<0.0001; g =–0.91,
95% CI −1.19 to −0.62, k = 24), indicating lower vagal
activity in individuals with schizophrenia than in healthy controls.
Considerable heterogeneity was evident but effects were robust in
subsequent sensitivity analyses.

Conclusions

Given the association between low HRV, threat processing, emotion
regulation and executive functioning, reduced vagal tone may be an
endophenotype for the development of psychotic symptoms.
Reversible Albumin-Binding GH Possesses a Potential Once-Weekly Treatment Profile in Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency

Published: January 2016

Context:

NNC0195-0092 is a reversible, albumin-binding GH derivative, developed for once-weekly administration.

Objectives:

The objective of the study was to evaluate safety, local tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of multiple, once-weekly doses of NNC0195-0092, compared with daily GH.

Design and Setting:

This was a phase 1, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multiple-dose, dose-escalation trial.

Patients:

Thirty-four GH-treated adult subjects (male, n = 25) with GH deficiency participated in the study.

Interventions and Main Outcome Measures:

Subjects were sequentially assigned into four cohorts of eight subjects, randomized within each cohort (3:1) to once-weekly NNC0195-0092 (n = 6) for 4 weeks (0.02, 0.04, 0.08, and 0.12 mg/kg) or daily injections of Norditropin NordiFlex (n = 2) for 4 weeks with a dose replicating the pretrial dose of somatropin. A safety assessment was performed prior to initiating treatment at the next dose level of NNC0195-0092. Daily GH treatment was discontinued 14 days before the trial start. Blood samples were drawn for assessment of safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics (IGF-1 and IGF-binding protein-3) profiles, and immunogenicity studies.

Results:

Numbers of adverse events were similar at the dose levels of 0.02, 0.04, and 0.08 mg/kg NNC0195-0092 vs daily injections of Norditropin NordiFlex, whereas the number of adverse events was greater at the highest dose level of NNC0195-0092 (0.12 mg/kg). NNC0195-0092 (area under the curve[0–168h]) and peak plasma concentration) increased in a dose-dependent manner, and a dose-dependent increase in IGF-1 levels was observed. IGF-1 profiles were elevated for at least 1 week, and for the 0.02-mg/kg and 0.04-mg/kg NNC0195-0092 doses, the observed IGF-1 levels were similar to the levels for the active control group.

Conclusion:

Four once-weekly doses of NNC0195-0092 (dose range 0.02–0.12 mg/kg) administered to adult patients with GH deficiency were well tolerated, and IGF-1 profiles were consistent with a once-weekly treatment profile. No clinically significant safety and tolerability signals causally related to NNC0195-0092 were identified, nor were any immunogenicity concerns revealed.
Speculation Illicit and Complicit
Authors: Birla Ritu
Published: January 2016

First regulated as gambling, even as similar practices abroad were formalized in private exchanges and consolidated in boards of trade, vernacular futures trading in India foregrounds speculation as a problem of law and governing. This essay addresses the colonial management of vernacular speculative activities in a period of global financialization, demonstrating how market engagements with uncertainty that were previously criminalized were slowly folded into legality and governance. It illuminates a range of informal, localized practices participating in global financial flows and deploys the colonial context as an analytical lever to pose broader questions concerning the legibility and translation of speculation as both an illicit outside and a complicit inside of the market. Charting key shifts in the two decades before 1947, it maps the governmentalization of speculation by colonial authorities and vernacular capitalists, a process that informs histories of and dynamics across the colonial rule of law, the idea of informality, and neoliberal thought.
Beyond Dispossession
Authors: Sarkar Swagato
Published: January 2016

This essay engages with the commodification of land in an urban periphery of India. It argues against the tendency to reduce commodification of land to “primitive accumulation” or “accumulation by dispossession.” It presents an ethnography of the process of the commodification of land under speculative conditions. The growing demand for land for urbanization and industrialization, along with the availability of speculative finance capital in the real estate market, has made land a scarce commodity. In this land market, local capitals piggyback on finance capital and bid up the prices exponentially in the micromarkets. Speculation makes it impossible for the state to match the market price, and its compensation for the land losers is always quite low, which the latter refuse to accept. The landowning farmers, on the other hand, have developed a capacity to adjust to the speculative conditions and to control the supply of land in the market. Even though they can receive a very good price for their land, they show no urgency to sell it. As a consequence, the state's plan to urbanize a given area, to create a stable arrangement of clear property titles, and to control land prices become uncertain.
Afterword
Authors: Appadurai Arjun
Published: January 2016

Capitalism, normally considered the zenith of scientism, techno-rationality, and calculative reason, can fruitfully be seen as just the opposite of these things. It can be considered the dreamwork of industrial modernity, its magical, spiritual, and utopian horizon, in which all that is solid melts into money. Speculation is the motor of this dreamwork and in this afterword, I discuss how the essays in this section have provoked me to propose this unorthodox lens on capitalism, with inspiration from thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, and Fredric Jameson, all of whom have seen in capitalism the makings of a new eschatology and a new magical imaginary.
On Artists and Artisans
Authors: Primel Casey , Rao Anupama , Ferguson Susanna
Published: January 2016

In May 2014, the editors of CSSAAME hosted a discussion with the Pakistani American artist Shahzia Sikander about artistic practice and its role in deconstructing (and reframing) the often vexed relationship Eurocentric canons of art history and aesthetic theory have with regional art and artists. The discussion is the first of a series of events that intersect ongoing concerns of the journal, even as they open new avenues for collective consideration of art and its curation that extends beyond the attention that an individual art historian or cultural critic might direct toward specific artists, or singular artworks. These questions assume added significance against the backdrop of a rapidly globalizing museum culture, supported by the concomitant rise in museum construction as supportive infrastructure for new sites of spectacle and speculation.
Arab Revolutions
Authors: Salime Zakia
Published: January 2016

After the euphoria of the first waves of the Arab uprisings that toppled two heads of state in Tunisia and Egypt, the woman's body became the frontline of the protest scene. The unitary mass-revolutionary body that marked the visual memories of the first weeks of the uprisings ceded the ground to the “micro-rebellious body” of the naked, tortured, and sexually harassed female protestor. Nevertheless, this article discusses, the individual assertive body reproduced through these images is usually defined through the paradigm of gender oppression versus sexual liberation and self-realization. Other bodies remain marginal to this historiography of a revolution crystallized around the middle-class urban cosmopolitan bodies. In what language did “other” bodies of “ordinary” women speak in the context of the uprisings? Through what kind of representational regimes are these “other” bodies allowed to speak or be made silent?
Reading Malala
Authors: Khoja-Moolji Shenila
Published: January 2016

In this article, I theorize the phenomenon of specific women being taken up periodically to represent the collectivity of Muslim women—and, relationally, reveal characteristics about the collectivity of Muslim men—by focusing specifically on the figure of Malala Yousafzai, a fifteen-year-old girl who was shot in the head by a member of the Tehrik-e-Taliban, a tribal political formation in Pakistan, in 2012. Drawing on literature from the fields of affect studies and transnational feminist scholarship, and grounding myself theoretically in the work of Deleuze and Guattari, I provide molar and molecular readings of Malala's archives. I explore how affects of pain, shock, pity, compassion, and hatred cohere around Malala and make possible molar overcoding of Muslim women as oppressed and Muslim men as oppressors. However, reading Malala's coauthored autobiography, I Am Malala, against the grain unravels this molar over-coding and provides evidence that evades the very binaries of victim/savior, oppressed/oppressor, and progressive/traditional that the text seeks to create. Hence, it is only by choosing a molecular reading of Malala that we can attempt to deterritorialize or thwart normative claims made about the collectivity of Muslim women and men.
Al-Nakbahin Arab Thought
Authors: Al-Hardan Anaheed
Published: January 2016

The establishment of the state of Israel in Palestine in 1948, and the forcible dispossession and destruction of the major part of Palestinian society from the conquered territories that this entailed, is today referred to as al-nakbah, the catastrophe, in Arabic. This article examines the nakbah as a concept that was first articulated and defined in a specific post-1948 Arab universe of discourse. It demonstrates how the notion of 1948-as-catastrophe was to be eventually eclipsed as a result of the defeat of the June War (1967) and how the nakbah's eventual reemergence in its contemporary Palestinian universe of discourse has led to meanings that we today associate with the (ongoing) Palestinian catastrophe. Although the notion of 1948-as-catastrophe is as old as the nakbah, the event as catastrophe and its atrocities only entered the English-language intellectual register in the 1990s as a result of Israeli “new” history and Palestinians' own attempts to revive memories of their pre-nakbah past. Through this discursive reading of the nakbah's six-decade-old shifting significations, this article therefore also explores the broader historical and sociological questions that revolve around power and knowledge when writing the history of the vanquished and the contemporary societies of the colonized.
Introduction
Authors: Diouf Mamadou
Published: January 2016

This introduction provides the context within which the conversation about Rudolph Ware's book is conducted. It identifies the key issues The Walking Qur'an addresses as well as the epistemological ruptures indispensable, according to Ware, to reading the phenomenological manifestations of Islam in West Africa within the epistemologies of the global intellectual economies of Islam, the colonial library, and the Atlantic slave trade and its abolition.
Traditions of Innovation
Authors: Ware Rudolph T.
Published: January 2016

In this essay, Ware contributes to the Kitabkhana discussion of his book, The Walking Qur'an. The essays in the book forum, he writes, open onto questions of historiography and philosophy, theology and epistemology. Ware responds to these various approaches, defining his project as one that directly challenges received academic wisdom but, at the same time, is built on structures of thought erected by previous scholars—African, Muslim, Occidental, or otherwise. As he explains, his attempt at a positive innovation is rooted in the traditions of Africa, Islam, and the academe.
Surface Control of a Photoresponsive Self-Assembled Monolayer and Selective Deposition of Ag Nanoparticulate Ink
Authors: Konishi Tsubasa , Yamaguchi Kazuo
Published: January 2016

A highly hydrophobic self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with high photosensitivity to soft UV (λ = 365 nm) was formed on thermally surface-oxidized silicon wafers by a silane coupling agent bearing a 2-nitrobenzyl carbamate moiety. Very smooth SAM was obtained by the use of 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene as a solvent. Photopatterning of the SAM was carried out by irradiation with soft UV at 2 J cm−2 (80 s) in acetone under a photomask. Selective deposition of Ag nanoparticulate ink by spin coating on the resulting patterned surface afforded a well-defined 10 µm line and space pattern. Subsequent photodeprotection to generate amino groups enabled the space regions to be selectively modified with fluorescent dye bearing a succinimidyl ester moiety.

Corporate Donations to Electoral Campaigns: A Case Study of White-Collar Crime
Authors: Evertsson Nubia
Published: January 2016

Mackenzie and Green (2008) and McBarnet (2006) have argued that it is possible for white-collar crimes to emerge from actions that are cloaked in legality. In this article I study this paradox, focusing on the case of corporate donations to electoral campaigns. In particular, I will present an intra-national study on corporate funding of elections in Colombia. The case examines the electoral donations from palm oil growers' firms to the 2002 and 2006 presidential campaigns of Álvaro Uribe. It illustrates how legal donations delivered by corporations were reciprocated by incumbents through favourable legislation and policy outcomes. Although donors were not prosecuted for giving electoral donations, since it is a legal practice, administrative and judicial authorities have demonstrated that the donors communicated with incumbents with the intention to commit fraud.
Of Mice and Men: Violence and Human Experimentation
Authors: Rawlinson Paddy
Published: January 2016

Unethical human experimentation has long been a murky feature of medical research, most notoriously in the death camps of Nazi Germany. Despite the subsequent creation of the Nuremberg Code principles for the protection of human subjects, harmful medical trials continue to be conducted in the name of scientific inquiry and for the advancement of public health. Most, but not all, of the victims are marginalized groups, racially, ethnically and/or socio-economically defined, those for whom justice is often little more than a utopian hope. The article examines the violence behind the beneficent arm of the state in its role as health provider, and how the collaboration with medical science and the pharmaceutical industry have resulted in laboratories of human suffering involving society's most vulnerable. By locating the abuse of human subjects of medical research within the paradigm of state crime the article highlights the growing propensity for serious harm and abuse, diluted by the more common use of the term unethical rather than “criminal”, as a consequence of this state, public health and corporate triumvirate.

Using a bivariate generalized linear mixed model to analyze the effect of feeding pressure on pine weevil damage
Authors: Lappi Juha , Luoranen Jaana
Published: January 2016

The objective of the study is to derive a method by which one can analyze how the probability of damage made by pine weevils on seedlings treated with insecticides depends on the probability of damage on untreated control seedlings, called feeding pressure. Because the probabilities vary from stand to stand and from block to block, the analysis is done using a generalized linear mixed model. The dependency of probability of damage on the feeding pressure cannot be properly analyzed using observed relative frequency of damage of control seedlings as a covariate, but it can be analyzed using a bivariate model. One equation describes damage of control seedlings and another equation damage of treated seedlings. The random stand and block effects of different equations are correlated. For a given probability of stand level control seedling damage, the random stand effect for control seedlings can be computed using a link function, then random stand effects for treated seedlings can be predicted using the best linear predictor from the random effect for control seedlings. Using an inverse link the prediction can again be presented in the probability scale which is of interest to the user. Using these three steps the probability of damage of treated seedlings can be predicted from the control damage probability. The probability of damage of treated seedlings can also be predicted from the observed relative frequency of damaged control seedlings using simulation. The complementary log-log link was used for control seedlings and the log-log link for treated seedlings.

Higher education institutions have an important role in the career planning of individuals. But, student selection examinations is the most important factor for their choosing school and directly or indirectly affect their career choices, and their expectations and satisfaction levels can cause positive or negative results. In term of 2013-2014, data for this study were collected from the students of thefourthgradestudents intourism undergraduateeducation at state universities in Turkey. The purposes of this study was to compare the academic expectations from the institutions and satisfaction levels of the students with regard to academic services provided by their university and examine the relationship between expectation and satisfaction levels of the students and their career planning. Questionnaire for this study was developed from prior research and published scales on a 5-point Likert-type which was based on three dimensions. Through conducting a face-to-face interview, a total of 583 questionnaires were collected from students. PASW was used to analyze the data that includes various statistical tools such as factor analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. As a result, the findings indicate that expectation and satisfaction levels have a negative correlation with each other, and these two factors have positive influence on career planning.

 

Özet

Yükseköğretim kurumları, bireylerin kariyer planlamasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Ancak, yükseköğretime giriş sınavının okul seçiminde en önemli faktör olarak görülmesi, bireylerin kariyer tercihlerini doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak etkilemekte ve bu durum onların beklenti ve memnuniyet düzeylerine bağlı olarak olumlu ya da olumsuz sonuçlar doğurabilmektedir. Türkiye’deki kamu üniversitelerinde 2012-2013 eğitim öğretim yılında, turizm lisans eğitimi alan dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerini kapsayan bu araştırmanın amacı, kurumlarından akademik beklentileri ile onlara sağlanan akademik hizmetlerden memnuniyet düzeylerini karşılaştırmak ve kariyer planlaması ile ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır. Konuyla ilgili literatürden yararlanılarak, beklenti, memnuniyet ve kariyer planlamasına yönelik beşli Likert türü bir anket formu oluşturulmuştur. Yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile 583 adet anket formu toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde PASW istatistik programı kullanılarak değişkenlere faktör analizi, korelasyon ve çoklu regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Sonuçta, bireylerin beklentileri ile memnuniyet düzeylerinin ters yönlü bir ilişkisi olduğu, aynı zamanda bu iki temel faktörün kariyer planlamasını etkilediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
Indonezyjskie i polskie idiomy – w poszukiwaniu ekwiwalentów tłumaczeniowych
Authors: Wiatrowski Przemysław
Published: January 2016

This paper focuses on Indonesian and Polish idioms analysed from an inter-lingual standpoint, with particular emphasis on their image components. The research material comes from general and specialized (phraseological) dictionaries of both languages. The objective is to assign Polish translation equivalents to selected Indonesian idioms. As no text corpora or translation series are available for Indonesian and Polish, the investigation is limited to systemic (lexicological) equivalence. The analysis of the Polish equivalents of Indonesian idioms covers stable set phrases which carry the same image, idioms which carry an analogous image, and idioms with identical meaning which carry a different image. Also considered are false equivalents (pseudo-equivalents).

Published: January 2016

The text is about modality from a linguistic point of view. The author takes a broad understanding of a modal category (modality indentified with communicative intention) and analyses the so called basic modal units: verbs and predicates, which together with an infinitive create a verbal construction. She examines a function of the mentioned expressions in the Code of Canon Law. Willing to accept a specific character of contexts with modal expressions, she includes in the description conclusions coming from earlier study of newspaper texts, homilies and speeches of John Paul II.
Jurassic World and Procreation Anxiety
Authors: Dyer Richard
Published: January 2016

Jurassic World (Colin Trevorrow, 2015) is progressive about some things (capitalism, managerialism) and reactionary about others (gender, race, animals). It is also fun entertainment. What underpins all this is anxiety about proper procreation. This fuels the film's perceptions of economic enterprise and the natural order and also provides the source or reassurance so necessary for having fun. But perhaps there is just a hint that the reassurance itself is insecure.
Chronicle of a Quest: Silence after Killing
Authors: Torchin Leshu
Published: January 2016

After the “flamboyant fever dream” and ontological experimentations of The Act of Killing (2013), Joshua Oppenheimer's latest film, The Look of Silence, comes as something of a shock. A poetic, intimate film, it relies on more traditional documentary styles, interviews, and observation in particular. At the same time, the film illustrates the challenges of documentary testimony, both practical (in terms of collection, credibility, and deployment) and existential (as a hybrid of truth and fiction). The challenges and oscillation offer a way of expressing the conditions of the survivors, caught between a past they know to be true and the amnesiac historiography that surrounds them. Although such strategies produce a similar destabilization of ontological and epistemological certainty akin to those found in Killing, there is nonetheless a departure as the sobriety confers a moral authority that enables this film to be deployed in social justice projects.
Movie Madness: Mostly Lost 4 Workshop
Authors: Tyree J. M.
Published: January 2016

Mostly Lost is a workshop convened by the US Library of Congress that invites participants to help identify and learn about lost, unknown, and underidentified silent films. Mostly Lost 4 took place from June 11–13, 2015, at the Packard Campus of the National Audio Visual Conservation Center in Culpepper, Virginia. Film archives from North America and Europe screened fragments during Unidentified Film Sessions, with lectures and presentations interspersed between sessions. Evening screenings included recent restoration projects on Chaplin (The Bank, 1915), William Gillette (Sherlock Holmes, 1916), and Norma Talmadge (The Moth, 1917). This report summarizes the events of Mostly Lost 4 and offers descriptions of archiving, digitization, and restoration of early cinema, along with critical commentary on the quest for lost films. Participants were able to identify only 30 percent of the unknown films screened during the workshop.

La creación de los Institutos de Ciencias de la Educación (1969) y su puesta en marcha (1970) supuso una notable innovación en el sistema educativo español. El ICE de la Universidad de Santiago (ICE-USC) inició su andadura un año antes, con carácter experimental, asumiendo las tareas de: a) formación del profesorado; b) perfeccionamiento del profesorado; c) investigación. En 1974 nace en el ICE-USC la división de Orientación educativa, con el fin de prestar asesoramiento técnico a centros, profesores y tutores del Distrito Universitario de Santiago (único en Galicia, entonces).En el ámbito de la Tecnología educativa y producción de recursos, el ICE de Santiago fue el primero de España en poner en marcha el servicio de medios audiovisuales. A través de cursos de Microenseñanza y Observación, simulaciones de comportamiento sociológico, programas de aprendizaje en EGB, didáctica de idiomas, etc., el ICE-USC se integró plenamente en las tareas de formación y perfeccionamiento del profesorado y de investigación de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. En este trabajo se describen sumariamente las actividades desarrolladas y su valoración por el profesorado de los diferentes niveles educativos.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15304/ie.25.2900

ĮžangaAtliktas Respublikinės Vilniaus universitetinės ligoninės 1996–2013 metų tulžies pūslės chirurgijos retrospektyvusis auditas, apibendrinantis 18 metų operacijų patirtį. Svarbiausias tyrimo tikslas – apibūdinti su laparoskopine cholecistektomija (LC) siejamą tulžies latakų sužalojimo riziką.MetodaiLC metu, siekdami identifikuoti tulžies pūslės lataką ir jos arteriją, laikėmės infundibulinės metodikos principų. Jatrogeniniai tulžies latakų sužalojimai susisteminti į penkias klases pagal Bismutho ir Strasbergo klasifikaciją. Siekdami nustatyti Lietuvos gydytojų publikacijas, kuriose analizuojamos laparoskopinės cholecistektomijos komplikacijos, naudojomės http://scholar.google.co.uk paieškos sistema. Taikyti standartiniai vienfaktoriai ir daugiafaktoriai statistinės analizės būdai.RezultataiAtliktos 13 274 cholecistektomijos, iš jų LC – 11 189 kartus (84,29 %). 5241 (39,48 %) pacientas laparoskopiškai operuotas dėl ūminio, 8033 (60,52 %) – dėl lėtinio cholecistito. Tulžies latakai sužaloti 45 ligoniams, iš jų 42 sužalojimai siejami su LC. Laparoskopinės operacijos metu tulžies latakai buvo sužaloti 2,7 karto dažniau nei per atvirąją (0,38 % vs 0,14 %, ŠS = 2,6149, 95 % PI 0,8097–8,4442, z = 1,607, p = 0,1080). Operuojant pacientus dėl ūminio cholecistito, jatrogeninių tulžies latakų sužalojimų pasitaikė du kartus dažniau (0,5 % vs 0,24 %, ŠS = 2,1029, 95 % PI 1,1627–3,8034, z = 2,459, p = 0,0140). Su LC siejamų jatrogeninių tulžies latakų sužalojimų rizika yra 1:261. 2010–2013 metais jų padaugėjo. Tulžies pūslės latako nesandarumo rizika po LC yra 1:323 (tai didele dalimi atspindi specifinę technologijos problemą). Pagrindinių šoninių tulžies latakų sužalojimų rizika yra 1:247 (tai chirurginės technikos problema). E klasės sužalojimo rizika 1:1243. 2000–2013 metais su LC siejama 40 % (17/42) jatrogeninių tulžies latakų sužalojimų. Hospitalinis mirštamumas nuo tulžies latakų sužalojimo buvo 11 % (5/45).IšvadosJatrogeniniai tulžies latakų sužalojimai yra nedažni, bet pavojingi. Tyrimas išryškino koncepcinius, sisteminius ir techninius LC trūkumus. Kadangi laparoskopinės cholecistektomijos kultūra prasideda nuo operacijai tinkamų pacientų atrankos, išsamiai infomuoto paciento sutikimo, šiuolaikinių pripažintų technologinių ir techninių priklausinių bei racionalių, pacientų saugumą užtikrinančių sprendimų, ji turi keistis. Ir ne tik įstaigoje, kurioje buvo atliktas šis klinikinis tyrimas, bet ir visose kitose geografinio regiono gydymo įstaigose, jeigu jose praktikuojama tokia pati arba metodologiškai panaši tulžies pūslės chirurgija.

Šio tyrimo tikslas – atlikti daugiacentrę retrospektyviąją analizę, įvertinti Lietuvoje atliktas kelio sąnario endoprotezavimo operacijas, kuriose buvo naudojamos navigacinės sistemos, bei išanalizuoti operacijų registro protokolų duomenis. Daugiacentrės retrospektyviosios analizės laikotarpis 2006–2012 metai. Tyrimo metu išanalizuoti trijų Lietuvos ligoninių 143 pacientai, kuriems buvo atlikta pirminė pilnutinė kelio sąnario endoprotezavimo operacija, ir navigacinių sistemų operacijų registro protokolai. Pagrindiniai vertinimo kriterijai navigacinių sistemų operacijos registrų protokole buvo priešoperacinė ir pooperacinė galūnės mechaninė ašis, kelio sąnario funkcija prieš operaciją ir po jos.

Įvadas/tikslas Blauzdos arterijų angioplastika yra vertinga galūnės išsaugojimo procedūra ligoniams, sergantiems kritine kojų išemija. Esant blauzdos arterijų užakimui, dažniausiai atliekama arterijų šuntavimo operacija. Šio tyrimo tikslas buvo parodyti mūsų gydymo rezultatus bei palyginti arterijų šuntavimo operacijų į pėdos arteriją ir blauzdos arterijų perkutaninės transliuminalinės an­gioplastikos vėlyvuosius rezultatus esant kritinei kojos išemijai. Taip pat įvertinti cukrinio diabeto įtaką operacijų rezultatams. Metodai Retrospektyviuoju būdu išanalizuotos visos gydomosios blauzdos arterijų procedūros, atliktos nuo 1999 m. sausio iki 2013 m. gruodžio mėnesio. Buvo palyginti blauzdos arterijų perkutaninės transliuminalinės angioplastikos ir atviros chirurgijos – šun­tų į pėdos arteriją gydymo rezultatai. Išanalizuota cukrinio diabeto įtaka gydymo rezultatams. Rezultatai Sudarytos trys pacientų grupės: I grupė – 193 ligoniai, kuriems atliktos šuntavimo į pėdos arteriją operacijos; II grupė – 103 atvejai 98 pacientams, kuriems atlikta blauzdos arterijų perkutaninė transliuminalinė angioplastika; III grupė – 84 pacientai, kuriems taikytas sudėtinis gydymas – perkutaninė transliuminalinė angioplastika ir šuntavimas į pėdos arteriją. Kumuliacinis kraujotakos atkūrimas po 1 metų atlikus atvirą operaciją – 47,5 %, atlikus blauzdos arterijų angioplastiką – 6,9 %, atlikus sudėti­nį gydymą – 79,6 %. Geriausi rezultatai gauti sudėtinio gydymo grupėje (p<0,007). Galūnės išsaugojimas po vienų metų atlikus operaciją – 84,1 %, po endovaskulinės chirurgijos – 35,4 %, po sudėtinio gydymo – 83,1 %. Ilgesnį laikotarpį galūnės išsaugotos po sudėtinio chirurginio gydymo (p<0,001). Cukriniu diabetu segantiems ligoniams kumuliacinis kraujotakos atkūrimas praė­jus vieniems metams po šuntavimo į pėdos arteriją operacijų – 60,4 %, nesergantiems cukriniu diabetu – 21,8 % (p=0,013), po atliktos blauzdos arterijų angioplastikos cukriniu diabetu sergantiems ligoniams – 3,6 %, nesergantiems – 10,1 %. Kumuliacinis kraujotakos atkūrimas, praėjus dvejiems metams po rekonstrukcinių procedūrų, jei cukrinis diabetas kompensuotas, sudarė 55,2 %, o jei nekompensuotas – 43,6 %. Galūnės išsaugojimas esant kompensuotam cukriniam diabetui sudarė 79,31 %, o nekompensuotam – 61,82 %. Rezultatas nėra statistiškai patikimas (p>0,05). Išvados Blauzdos arterijų angioplastika ir šuntavimo operacija yra tinkamos procedūros išsaugoti galūnę ligoniams, sergantiems kri­tine galūnės išemija. Vėlyvieji kraujotakos atkūrimo rezultatai buvo geresni po šuntavimo į pėdos arteriją atliktų operacijų. Geriausi kraujotakos atkūrimo rezultatai ligoniams, sergantiems cukriniu diabetu, pasiekti taikant sudėtinį gydymo metodą – angioplastiką ir atvirą operaciją. Šuntavimas į pėdos arteriją yra saugi ir efektyvi procedūra cukriniu diabetu sergantiems pacientams, turintiems kritinę kojos išemiją. Glikozilinto hemoglobino kiekis neturi įtakos kraujotakos atkūrimo rezultatams.

Tikslas Laparoskopinė distalinė kasos rezekcija (LDP) pirmą kartą atlikta 1996 metais. Paskelbta nemažai laparoskopinės distalinės kasos rezekcijos retrospektyviųjų tyrimų rezultatų, bet jų rezultatai yra prieštaringi. Kol kas dar niekas nėra atlikęs perspekty­viojo atsitiktinių imčių tyrimo. Mūsų klinikinio tyrimo tikslas – išsiaiškinti, kuris metodas yra pranašesnis mūsų retrospektyvio­jo tyrimo duomenimis. Ligoniai ir metodai Šiame darbe nagrinėjame ligonius, kuriems 1998–2015 metais Klaipėdos universitetinės ligoninės Pilvo ir endokrininės chirur­gijos skyriuje atliktos distalinės laparoskopinės ir tradicinės kasos rezekcijos (TDP). Iki 2006 metų visos distalinės kasos rezekci­jos buvo atliekamos tradiciniu būdu, o po 2006 metų – laparoskopiniu būdu. Į tyrimą buvo įtraukti tik ligoniai, sergantys gery­biniais kasos augliais, paribiniais augliais, distalinės kasos dalies pseudotumoroziniu pankreatitu, neuroendokrininiais augliais. Rezultatai Atliktos 62 distalinės kasos rezekcijos: 30 LDP ir 32 TDP. Abi šios lyginamosios grupės nesiskyrė pagal demografinius ir patologi­nės histologijos duomenis. Išsiskyrė tik pagal operacinius ir pooperacinius rodiklius. Patikimai reikšmingai skyrėsi kraujo netek­tis operacijų metu, analgetikų poreikis bei hospitalizacijos trukmė. Netekto kraujo kiekis buvo didesnis TDP atveju (p – 0,012). Blužnies išsaugojimo atvejų buvo daugiau TDP, tačiau tai reikšmingai nesiskyrė. Kasos pooperacinės fistulės TDP (11) ir LDP (7) grupėse reikšmingai nesiskyrė (p – 0,31). Analgetikų poreikis (ketonalio, morfijaus) po operacijos reikšmingai didesnis TDP gru­pėje (p – 0,03, p – 0,01). Po LDP gydymosi stacionare trukmė buvo mažesnė (p – 0,01). Mirties atvejų po operacijų neužfiksuota. Išvados Ir LDP, ir TDP yra saugios operacijos šalinant distalinės kasos dalies auglius. Tyrimas parodė, kad abiejose grupėse komplika­cijų skaičius panašus, kasos pooperacinės fistulės dažnis toks pats. Bet LDP grupės ligoniai operacijos metu neteko mažiau kraujo, mažiau reikėjo analgetikų, trumpesnis buvo gydymas ligoninėje.
Žarnų invaginacija – reta suaugusių žmonių žarnų nepraeinamumo priežastis
Authors: Poškus Tomas , Grišin Edvard
Published: January 2016

Įvadas Žarnų invaginacija – retai pasitaikanti pilvo skausmų priežastis, diagnozuojama tik 5 % suaugusiųjų, turinčių ūmaus pilvo sindromą. Ši patologija dažnesnė vaikams ir jiems yra lengvai diagnozuojama, tačiau suaugusiems pacientams ši žarnų nepra­einamumo priežastis yra sunkiai nustatoma. Žarnų obstrukcijos požymiai yra nespecifiniai, todėl kartais gydytojų diagnozė gali būti klaidinga. Dėl šių priežasčių yra būtina įtarti žarnų invaginacijos riziką visiems suaugusiems žmonėms, besiskun­džiantiems grįžtamais pilvo skausmais be jokių gretutinių specifinių požymių išraiškos. Metodai Tikslus žarnų obstrukcijos diagnostikos algoritmo pasirinkimas yra svarbus veiksnys tikrajai ūmaus pilvo skausmų priežasčiai nustatyti. Dažniausiai diagnozuojama priežastis suaugusiems pacientams yra navikinis darinys, kuris lemia 86 % visų žarnų nepraeinamumo atvejų. Ultragarsiniai tyrimai bei rentgeno tyrimas yra nepakankamai specifiški šiai patologijai nustatyti. Kompiuterinė tomografija yra auksinis standartas retai žarnų nepraeinamumo priežasčiai nustatyti, todėl šiuo atveju yra būti­nas gydytojų budrumas analizuojant ir įvertinant nespecifinius žarnų invaginacijos požymius KT nuotraukose (dešros formos sustorėjusi žarnų sienelė). Rezultatai Pilvo srities ultragarsinis tyrimas rodė skysčio sankaupą prieš savaitę atliktos apendektomijos srityje – dešinėje klubinėje duobėje. Atliktas rentgeno tyrimas nepadėjo nustatyti žarnų nepraeinamumo priežasties, todėl buvo paskirta kompiuterinė tomografija. KT vaizdai aiškiai parodė žarnų invaginaciją ileocekalinėje srityje, išsiplėtusias žarnų kilpas bei vietinę limfadeno­patiją. Šių kriterijų pakako skubiai operacijai pradėti. Išvados Suaugusiųjų žarnų invaginacija yra reta grįžtamų pilvo skausmų priežastis, kuri gali būti sunkiai paaiškinama dėl nepakanka­mo tyrimų specifiškumo. KT tyrimas yra viena tiksliausių priemonių anksti nustatyti patologijos priežastį. Rekomenduojama nedelsiant atlikti invaginacijos srities žarnos rezekciją, kartu pašalinant pagrindinę priežastį, nes dažniausiai ši patologija yra išsivysčiusio naviko priežastis.
