A mundividência de Frei Luís de Granada: o programa da dignitas homini na Collectanea Moralis Philosophiae
Authors: Correia Martins Ana Isabel
Published: December 2024

The European Renaissance looked upon History as a consistent source to transmit exempla, a trustworthy and unhelpful repository for the purpose of ars bene scribendi, of enkyklios paideia, at the service of studia humanitatis, towards the promotion of dignitas homini. The humanists laboriously devoted themselves to compelling quotations and aphorisms, gathered in encyclopedic works combining History, Rhetoric, Literature and Pedagogy. Fray Luis de Granda will follow and amplify all these tendencies, being aware of the Senequian epistle - Longum iter est per praecepta, breue et efficax per exemplum. One of the most poignant concerns was to write not only for the ecclesiastic community but also for those who were new in the issues and problems of faith. We will recognize the main features of Granada’s treatises and his oratory, wondering his purposes and motivations without underestimating the relationships and influences he built throughout his life. We will analyse the encyclopedic production of the author, recognizing the quantity, quality and projection of his works and his Collectanea Moralis Philosophiae, in particulary, reviewing some images, metaphors, similes underlying the concepts of Philosophia, Sapientia, Libertas and Felicitas.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Background/Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, reliability, and complications of percutaneous pigtail catheter drainage guided by ultrasound (USG) in the treatment of pleural effusion.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed patients aged 18 years and older treated with percutaneous pigtail catheter placement under USG guidance between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2023. Clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics of the patients, etiological causes of pleural fluid, biochemical properties of the pleural fluid, and success rates of percutaneous pigtail catheter drainage were analyzed.
Results: A total of 77 patients were included in the study. 59.7% of the patients were male. Exudative effusion was detected in 61% of the patients, with a mean age of 52.8 ± 17.7 years in this group. Most effusions in both exudative and transudative groups were on the right side, observed in 55.3% and 56.6% of cases, respectively. Bilateral pleural effusion was present in 2.12% of the exudative group and 23.3% of the transudative group. The mean pleural fluid depth was 58 mm in the exudative group and 54 mm in the transudative group. The mean drainage duration was 6.5 days in the exudative group and 4.5 days in the transudative group. Comorbidities such as hypertension (76.6%), diabetes mellitus (53.3%), and coronary artery disease (36.6%) were more prevalent in the transudative group. Metastasis (32%) and lung cancer (26%) were the most common causes of exudative effusions, while heart failure (46.6%) and liver failure (30%) were predominant causes of transudative effusions. The success rate of percutaneous pigtail catheter drainage was 90.5% in exudative effusions and 93% in transudative effusions.
Conclusions: Our study concludes that percutaneous pigtail catheter drainage guided by USG is an effective and reliable method with high success rates and low complication rates for the treatment of both exudative and transudative pleural effusions.

Authors: Anjos Lidiane Santos dos , Cayres Elaine Martins Pinto , Dias Cristiano Araujo , Jesus Ederlan Antonio de , Cardoso Jacqueline Maia Santos , Silva Temistocles Damasceno
Published: December 2024

O conceito da Segurança Alimentar surgiu na Primeira Guerra Mundial (1914-1918) e estava diretamente relacionado à segurança nacional. No Brasil, as manobras relacionadas à Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional começaram a surgir a partir da fome e desnutrição que passa a se tornar um problema político na década de 1930. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar a atenção dada à Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional na agenda governamental entre os anos de 2000 a 2022. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, de caráter exploratório com abordagem quali-quantitativa. Os indicadores utilizados na análise da atenção dada ao tema em questão na agenda presidencial brasileira referem-se aos documentos oficiais produzidos pelos atores políticos. Para organizar as informações, coletadas por meio do indicador, foi escolhido o método de análise de conteúdo, exclusivamente, a codificação de dados. Diversos ministérios associados às Políticas Nacionais de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional recebem recursos da União, dentre eles, destaca-se o Ministério da Educação, que está intimamente ligado à política de alimentação, com mais de 63% do orçamento. A inserção na agenda governamental sempre foi permeada por inúmeros interesses e possibilitou conquistas importantes com o passar dos anos. A trajetória da Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional é ilustrada por um baixo grau de continuidade na política em geral com inúmeros projetos iniciados e findados antes mesmo dos seus resultados. É possível perceber que a Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional precisa de maior notoriedade e estabilidade, tanto pelos projetos apresentados quanto aos que de fato foram consolidados.
Flexible Local Differential Privacy Mechanism for Collecting Location Data
Authors: Lv Tianci , Cheng Mengyuan
Published: December 2024

To address issues in existing location data collection methods, such as poor data utility and large deviations between perturbed and true locations, this paper proposes a personalized local differential privacy (LDP) mechanism for location data collection. Users can select their privacy protection range based on their needs, limiting the perturbed output to this range, thereby improving data utility. To address the issue of large deviations between perturbed and true locations, we introduce a new strategy where the location is perturbed with a probability that is higher the closer it is to the true location. By analyzing the mutual information upper bound of the true and estimated location distributions, the optimal perturbation probability range is determined. Finally, a probability transition matrix is generated from the location transfer probabilities, and the true location distribution is estimated from the perturbed location distribution.

Analysis and Optimization Scheme of the Effectiveness of Word2vec in Intelligent Recommendation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Folk Prescriptions
Authors: Bai Xue , Wei Gao , Ye Tao
Published: December 2024

With the rapid development of science and technology and medical intelligence, personalized intelligent recommendation has been applied more and more widely in the medical field. For a patient, it is a very important link to find a suitable prescription, but in the face of many treatment programs and prescriptions, it is difficult for users to quickly obtain effective information and make a choice suitable for their condition. By analyzing the individual needs of users, valuable information is mined from a large number of traditional Chinese medicine treatments and remedies, and it is recommended to users to provide help for users to get treatment in time. However, most of the existing TCM prescription recommendation systems are based on traditional collaborative filtering or content-based recommendation algorithms, which lack in-depth mining of the semantic information of TCM prescription. Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent recommendation method for traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions based on Word2vec model, aiming to improve the accuracy and personalization of the recommendation system by learning the semantic representation of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Since Word2vec model does not distinguish the semantic relationship between context words and central words, the semantic is relatively missing, and the effect on subsequent tasks is limited. Therefore, it is of great significance to propose an optimization plan to effectively promote the modernization and intelligent development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Authors: Liu Jiajia , Huang Chidong
Published: December 2024

Road extraction from high-resolution remote sensing images faces challenges such as discontinuities caused by occlusions from trees and buildings, as well as computational complexity arising from varying road orientations and widths. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a Multi-Scale Adaptive Road Extraction Network (MARENet), which takes ConvNeXt as the backbone and designs the Atrous Pyramid Convolution (APC) module, which can accurately extract the roads in the image, and the Frequency Adaptive Transformer (FAT) module, which can focus on the important features in the image and avoid the problem of incomplete extraction. The network can effectively solve the above two key problems and achieve accurate road extraction. EARENet was evaluated experimentally on a commonly used and challenging DeepGlobe dataset. The proposed method is superior to the existing methods in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score and IoU, and the results show that the proposed network has robustness and superiority in processing high-resolution road remote sensing images.

Authors: Meng Hao , Tan Jieqing
Published: December 2024

Aiming at the problems of small target size, dense target, missing detection and false detection in UAV aerial images, an improved YOLOv8s small target detection algorithm MS-P2-YOLO is proposed in this paper. First, through several initial convolution layers, the composite convolution module extracts the target feature information, and uses pooling operations of different scales to capture the global context information of the image. Then, the scale adaptive fusion unit module is used to scale and splicing the feature map in a certain form to integrate the feature information from different scales or layers. Then the multi-dimensional feature integration module is used to adjust the features according to the size or number of channels of the input feature map, and to enhance the feature representation through certain forms of scaling and sequence processing. At the same time, P2 detection head is added at the end to further increase the detection ability of small targets, which greatly improves the problems of missing detection, false detection and large number of parameters of small targets. Experiments show that compared with the VisDrone2019 dataset of MS-P2-YOLO and YOLOv8s, P, R and mAP50% have increased by 9%, 12.9% and 12.9% respectively, and the number of parameters has decreased by 4%. At the same time, generalization and comparison experiments were also conducted in YOLOv5s, YOLOv8s, ATSS, TOOD, and Father-RCNN, and the detection results were visualized. The experiments showed that all parameters were improved.

Authors: Yang Shiwei , Chen Xiaozhou
Published: December 2024

In order to better understand the function of proteins, protein research in the field of bioinformatics has always been an important issue, and protein structure prediction is also one of the research topics. Starting from the one-dimensional structure (amino acid sequence), it is a good method to predict and classify the secondary structure and adopt deep neural networks to solve sequence problems. We used convolutional blocks combined with gated recurrent units (GRUs) to predict protein secondary structure. Different from previous convolutional neural networks architectures, in this study, we used a mixture of two convolutional blocks of different scales combined with GRUs for sequence labeling for protein secondary structure prediction. Additionally, considering that the coding format in previous studies was too simple, this experiment also added the physical and chemical properties and the logarithmic relative probability of 8 types of secondary structure amino acids as the feature input, which improved the accuracy after the addition of features. Experiments show that our model has good performance in Q8 accuracy.

Bayesian Network-based Inferential Analysis of Xigou Reservoir Overtopping Accident
Authors: Wei Yilei
Published: December 2024

With the development of society and the increasing tension of water resources, the importance of reservoir management has become increasingly prominent. In March 2021, a significant overtop-ping accident occurred at the Xigou Dam, an auxiliary project of the Xiaolangdi Water Conservancy Project (also known as the Xigou Reservoir). The direct cause of the accident was an electrical failure, but it also involved subjective factors such as low risk awareness and weak daily management. This paper extracts 17 scenario nodes from the "Xigou Reservoir Overtopping" accident through scenario analysis and constructs a scenario Bayesian network model by analyzing the progression of the accident. The conditional probability of a node is calculated using the expert scoring method to compute the state probability of the node. Finally, the probabilistic changes in the states of ‘water level’, ‘casualties’ and ‘economic losses’ are analysed by adjusting the prior probabilities of the selected nodes. In the development of this accident, the conditions of equipment maintenance and the implementation of emergency response activities have a significant im-pact on the accident progression. Under conditions of normal equipment maintenance or active emergency response, the probability of the 'water level status' being normal increases by over 20%. Additionally, under normal staff supervision, the probability of the 'water level status' being normal also increases by 14%. The analysis of projected accidents highlights the substantial impact of human factors on these incidents. Therefore, it is crucial to establish robust personnel supervision mechanisms and implement effective equipment maintenance plans to prevent and mitigate risks.

«A vostro onor di questo libro è il fine». Le donne negli appelli al pubblico dell’“Inamoramento de Orlando”
Authors: Stanga Giacomo
Published: December 2024

Il saggio percorre i tre libri dell’Inamoramento de Orlando mostrando come gli appelli del narratore al suo uditorio cambino e, in particolare a partire dalla metà del secondo libro, inizino a includere in modo esplicito una componente di pubblico femminile. Questa novità viene messa in relazione con gli effettivi cambiamenti interni alla corte ferrarese nella seconda metà del Quattrocento (in particolare con l’arrivo di Eleonora d’Aragona nel 1473) e con l’intento boiardesco di proporre l’ambiente estense come modello morale e politico. Grazie a un paragone con i riferimenti al pubblico nel Furioso, poi, viene confermata l’unicità della postura del narratore dell’Inamoramento.
«Donne io vel dico da parte de Orlando». Appunti sulle lettrici del poema cavalleresco nel Cinquecento
Authors: Verde Marco
Published: December 2024

Nel proemio del canto diciottesimo dell’Hercole, Giovan Battista Giraldi Cinzio si rivolge alle «donne gentili». Le ottave che seguono raccontano un «lascivo amore, e fiamme scelerate»; ma l’intento, avverte l’autore, non è quello di macchiare la loro fede, definita poco dopo inviolabile, bensì quello di definire un vizio da non seguire. La narrazione vuol porsi come exemplum e il proemio viene eletto a forma di dialogo. Quello del Cinzio non è il solo caso all’interno della produzione cavalleresca cinquecentesca in cui l’autore, attraverso formule allocutorie, si rivolge alle proprie lettrici. Infatti, a fargli compagnia è una serie di testi che segue il solco tracciato, dai cantari, da Boiardo, dal Furioso di Ludovico Ariosto: da La morte del Danese di Cassio da Narni all’Angelica innamorata di Vincenzo Brusantini, fino al più noto Amadigi di Bernardo Tasso. Ciascuno di essi instaura un dialogo con il pubblico di genere femminile, che sia esso nobile o indefinito, non più esclusivamente dedito a lavorar con «l’ago e ’l panno».
La dimensione femminile della letteratura mitologica per l’infanzia in Italia
Authors: Grandi William
Published: December 2024

La mitologia per l’infanzia in Italia ha una storia letteraria ed editoriale piuttosto recente: il primo libro di questa tipologia fu pubblicato nel 1911 ed era Storia delle storie del mondo di Laura Cantoni Orvieto. Da allora i libri di miti per giovani lettrici e lettori si sono moltiplicati e hanno conosciuto una buona affermazione. Va notato che questa forma di narrazione per l’infanzia ha avuto le donne-scrittrici come principali protagoniste della sua creazione e diffusione. Oltre alla già menzionata Cantoni Orvieto – che è una figura molto importante della letteratura italiana per l’infanzia – vanno segnalate Luisa Banal, Mary Tibaldi Chiesa, Rosa Calzecchi Onesti e, ai nostri giorni, Beatrice Masini. Queste autrici riuscirono a valorizzare la dimensione femminile della mitologia, ridando voce alle donne, alle eroine e alle dee dei racconti ancestrali che, per lungo tempo, sono state poste ai margini di quelle antiche storie. Inoltre, anche un autore per l’infanzia molto importante come Gianni Rodari, attraverso i miti, ha saputo parlare della necessità dell’emancipazione femminile.
The representation of female characters in Butler’s translation of the “Odyssey”: a corpus-based approach
Authors: Russo Daniel
Published: December 2024

In The Authoress of the Odyssey (1897), Samuel Butler developed a notably controversial intuition about the poem’s author. In his analyses, he concluded that the same person could not have created the Iliad and the Odyssey: whilst the former was undoubtedly written by the Greek male poet Homer, the latter should be regarded as a companion piece to the Iliad and was instead the work of a «young, headstrong, and unmarried» woman (as the title to his chapter VII phrases it) from Magna Graecia, more precisely Trapani, Sicily. This theory rested upon his assumption that female characters in the Odyssey are favourably portrayed, whereas there is a relative disregard for male characters (Ebbott 2005). Butler’s prose translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey became highly successful and are still consulted nowadays; however, his views on the authorship of Homer’s works were severely criticised back then. The purpose of this paper is to explore to what extent Butler’s theory impacted his translation of the Odyssey by analysing his portrayal of female characters through collocations («word sketches»); to this end, an approach combining corpus linguistics (Fischer-Starcke 2010), corpus stylistics (Mahlberg 2012), and translational sty-listics (Boase-Beier 2006) will be adopted as the research design for this study. This study analyses the target text to understand how gender is represented and received (Venuti 2019) through linguistic choices.

Spunti di genere nei videogiochi dai tratti epici: dall’archetipo dell’eroe ai viaggi delle eroine
Authors: Forni Dalila
Published: December 2024

Il presente articolo vuole indagare la nuova eredità dell’epica nei videogiochi in ottica di genere con il fine di comprendere quali elementi siano stati mantenuti e quali si siano trasformati in base a nuovi schemi e percezioni relativi all’identità. Per farlo, verranno analizzati comparativamente alcuni casi di studio: God of War (2018), Horizon Zero Dawn (2017), Hellblade. Senua’s Sacrifice (2017) e The Last of Us (2013). L’analisi è costruita a partire dal concetto di monomito elaborato da Joseph Campbell nel volume L’eroe dai mille volti (1949), ovvero un modello comune e reiterato che caratterizza il viaggio dell’eroe. Si esplorerà quindi il viaggio dell’eroe in God of War e The Last of Us, per poi paragonarlo ai viaggi delle due eroine protagoniste di Horizon e Hellblade. Verrà pertanto esaminata la costruzione del personaggio secondo alcuni elementi delineati da Campbell per tracciare i nuovi sviluppi dell’eroe o eroina nel settore videoludico.
Per un commento di “Entrebescar” (1982) di Rossi Precerutti [pp. 174-199]
Authors: Belgradi Davide
Published: December 2024

Il saggio propone un’anticipazione dell’edizione critica commentata di Entrebescar (1982) di Roberto Rossi Precerutti, di futura pubblicazione. Dell’edizione sono state selezionate nove poesie tratte dalla prima sezione del libro che possono essere considerate una sorta di micro-sequenza interna, capace di mostrare le peculiarità di questa sezione in cui a essere centrale è il concetto di disseminazione di Derrida. Il commento è corredato di un cappello metrico e dell’apparato con le eventuali varianti, e grazie ad esso si vedrà come le poesie, anche quando il significato è volutamente aperto e indecidibile, possano essere interrogate a partire dallo scavo intorno alla struttura (metrica, prosodica e sintattica).

Fra il 1997 e il 2000, la pubblicazione di “Meridiani” di poeti nati negli anni Dieci e Venti (Attilio Bertolucci, Mario Luzi, Andrea Zanzotto e Giovanni Giudici), pubblicati con gli autori ancora in vita e operanti, comportò la ridefinizione del commento ai testi, al quale gli autori contribuirono. L’articolo dedicato nel 2001 a questo fenomeno viene riletto ripercorrendo gli episodi nei quali poeti delle generazioni successive (analizzati sono i casi di Milo De Angelis, Claudio Damiani, Fabio Pusterla, Valerio Magrelli, Marcello Frixione e Lello Voce) hanno piegato a loro esigenze di poetica spazi in precedenza appannaggio di altre figure.
Giorgio Caproni, “Parata” (“Il Conte di Kevenhüller”, 1986) [pp. 222-240]
Authors: Volta Stefano
Published: December 2024

Il saggio propone un commento di una lirica dell’ultimo Caproni, Parata (Il Conte di Kevenhüller, 1986). Il sistema espressivo di Caproni, soprattutto a partire dal Passaggio d’Enea (1956), sembra fondarsi sulla ripetizione variata di poche costanti, di carattere sia tematico che stilistico. Pertanto, il commento cercherà soprattutto di dimostrare la natura ossessiva del sistema espressivo dell’ultimo Caproni: larga parte del cappello introduttivo sarà dedicata all’analisi dei principali nuclei tematici della lirica, cercando di metterne in evidenza tanto l’origine testuale, quanto il progressivo sviluppo diacronico.

CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary gene-editing tool with the potential to transform agriculture by enabling precise modifications to plant genomes. This technology allows for the enhancement of critical crop traits, such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved nutritional value, without introducing foreign DNA. It offers a faster, more cost-effective alternative to traditional breeding methods, contributing to food security in the face of climate challenges. One key application of CRISPR-Cas9 is its ability to improve crop resistance to pests and diseases, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides and promoting sustainable farming. It also holds promise for enhancing the nutritional content of crops and addressing global malnutrition. However, challenges remain, including ethical concerns, regulatory issues, and the need to assess the long-term environmental impacts of gene-edited crops. Despite these obstacles, CRISPR-Cas9 has the potential to revolutionize agriculture, and future research will focus on refining its precision and overcoming societal barriers. As these challenges are addressed, CRISPR-Cas9 could play a central role in developing resilient, sustainable crops for a growing global population.

Kualitas tebu berpengaruh terhadap kualitas gula merah tebu. Penelitian ini mempelajari pengaruh jenis varietas dan waktu tunda giling terhadap kualitas gula merah tebu yang dihasilkan. Tebu berasal dari Kebun Percobaan P3GI Pasuruan, dengan 4 jenis varietas (PS094, PS881, BL, PS862; umur 12 bulan) dan perlakuan waktu tunda giling selama 7 hari. Penelitian dianalisis dengan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan 2 faktorial dan 2 kali ulangan. Parameter uji yang digunakan yaitu fisikokimia (brix, pol, sukrosa, warna) dan sensori (rasa, aroma, warna, tekstur, keseluruhan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa waktu tunda giling berdampak siginifikan terhadap nilai kadar brix, pol, dan sukrosa menurun; sedangkan warna menjadi meningkat. Penurunan tertinggi pada parameter brix  PS094 (3,93 %); pol dan sukrosa = BL (23,80 % dan 10,88 %); sedangkan kenaikan tertinggi pada parameter warna = BL (26,00 %). Produk dengan keterimaan sensori tertinggi pada tebu segar varietas PS862 dengan nilai 4,13. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa waktu tunda giling mempengaruhi kualitas gula merah tebu.

The objectives of this study were: (1) Analyse the technical efficiency (TE) of smallholder sugarcane farming (TR); (2) Analyse the factors that affect TE; and (3) Analyse the profitability of farming using the Sistem Bagi Hasil (SBH) and Sistem Pembelian Tebu (SPT) partnership schemes. This study was conducted in the PG-PG Malang working area with 31 smallholder sugarcane farmers surveyed in the 2022-2023 planting season. The method of measuring technical efficiency uses DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis), tobit regression, and analysis of sugarcane farming in each partnership scheme (SBH and SPT). The results of the analysis showed that the average TE value of TR farming on land was 97% and still had the potential to be increased by 3%. Factors that influence the level of TE are educational variables, family dependents and the role of financial institutions. If the average productivity of TR is 1,308 tonnes/ha, yield 5.11%, sugar price Rp.13,200/kg and sugarcane price Rp.72,000/kg. Then the actual and target average income and RC ratio values obtained in the SBH partnership are respectively Rp.18.17 million/ha (1.26) and Rp.20.41 million/ha (1.30), while in the SPT partnership respectively Rp.18.27 million/ha (1.23) and Rp.20.50 million/ha (1.26). Based on the RC ratio value, the recommended partnership scheme is SBH. However, fluctuations in sugarcane prices need to be considered, for example at the end of the milling season the price can reach Rp.95,000-Rp.100,000 per quintal and it is ensured that the income earned in the SBH scheme is higher than the RC ratio.

Resistant gram-negative bacteria are increasing in prevalence, causing health concerns, particularly in hospitals and intensive care units, leading to increased healthcare expenses due to sickness, and death. One frequent bacterial infection that affects many people is Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Objective: This study was conducted to assess the anti-microbial activity of leaf extracts from Murraya Koenigii (Mk) and Moringa oleifera (Mo) against multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-Kp) in vitro. Methods: It was a Preclinical in-vitro study, carried out at Ziauddin University from December 2022 to May 2023. Using a rotary evaporator, MO and MK leaves were extracted. Utilizing the Agar well diffusion assay and the broth dilution assay, the antibacterial activity of both plants were assessed. Results: For both extracts, concentrations ranging from 7.812 mg/ml to 500 mg/ml were prepared in 10% Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO). Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of Murraya Koenigii leaf extract was found to be 15mg/ml against MDR-Kp. Moringa oleifera leaf extract did not exhibit any discernible antibacterial action against MDR-Kp at any of the tested concentrations. Conclusion: While MOLE did not impede the growth of MDR-Kp strains at the tested doses, MKLE hindered the growth of MDR-Kp strains at 15 mg/ml (MIC).

The conventional second-line treatment for failed ERCP was Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD). Because of its high level of success and accessibility, PTBD has evolved into a well-established rescue therapy. Objective: To assess the procedural outcomes of PTBD following a failed ERCP in patients with hepatobiliary disorders. Additionally, it was focused on finding the significant factors that impact PTBD outcomes. Methods: A retrospective descriptive analysis was performed on 128 individuals at Dow Hospital Ojha Campus Karachi, who received PTBD following a failed ERCP. Between January 2023 and March 2024, we evaluated the clinical success rate, post-PTBD complications, and mortality. Results: The mean age of the patients was 65.9+/-11.7 years, and 76 (59.4%) patients were female. The clinical success rate was 77.3%, and complications after PTBD were 20(15.6%). A prolonged hospital stay was reported in 29 (22.7%) patients, and 13 (10.2%) patients died within 30 days. Younger age, etiology, and type of PTBD had a significant association with clinical success (P<0.05). Older age, female patients, and malignant etiology had a higher complication rate and mortality (P<0.05). Conclusions: PTBD provides a safe, effective, and viable alternative approach for patients with hepatobiliary disorders. It has a low rate of complications, a high rate of procedural success, and a low risk of mortality after a failed ERCP. Adverse events were more common in patients with a malignant etiology, older age, and female gender.
