Published: September 2019

Abstract

Background
Portal venous gas has been considered as a radiological sign requiring urgent operative intervention; however, the reports concerning portal venous gas associated with favorable outcome are recently increasing.

Case presentation
We describe a 9-month-old boy with acute onset high fever and vomiting. The ultrasonography demonstrated micro-gas bubbles continuously floating in the intrahepatic portal vein. Contrast-enhanced CT, performed 1 h later from echography, revealed a whirlpool sign suggesting an intestinal malrotation with midgut volvulus, but with no signs of residual intrahepatic gas. Operative findings showed a mild volvulus with neither congestion nor ischemic change of the twisted bowel. Detorsion and Ladd’s procedure were completed laparoscopically.

Conclusions
Transient portal venous gas bubbles may be generated even in the mild intestinal volvulus with no bowel ischemia. Ultrasonography can be a sensitive detector to visualize such small amounts of gas.
Proximal small bowel obstruction in a patient with cystic fibrosis: a case report
Authors: Alattar Zana , Thornley Caitlin , Behbahaninia Milad , Sisley Amy 
Published: September 2019

Abstract

Background
As advancements are made in the management of cystic fibrosis (CF), survival of the CF patient into adulthood has increased, leading to the discovery of previously unknown CF complications. Though gastrointestinal complications of CF, such as distal intestinal obstruction syndrome, are common, this case demonstrates a variant presentation of small bowel obstruction in this population.

Case presentation
We describe a 42-year-old male with CF who presented with 2 days of worsening upper abdominal pain, emesis, and loss of bowel function. The patient had no history of any prior abdominal surgeries; however, imaging was concerning for high-grade mechanical small bowel obstruction possibly related to internal hernia. Given leukocytosis and diffusely tender abdomen found on further workup, the decision was made to proceed with diagnostic laparoscopy after a brief period of intravenous fluid resuscitation. Intraoperatively, the transition point was found in the mid-jejunum and was noted to be due to kinking of the bowel causing vascular congestion in the proximal portion. Surgical manipulation of the bowel was required for return of normal perfusion and patency.

Conclusion
Though the exact mechanism cannot be definitively delineated, we speculate that the increased viscosity and prolonged intestinal transit time, characteristic of CF, resulted in inspissated fecal content in the proximal small bowel, which then acted as a lead point for obstruction. Thus, though small bowel obstruction in patients with CF is often attributed to distal intestinal obstruction syndrome, a broader differential must be considered. Early surgical intervention may be necessary to prevent bowel ischemia and subsequent small bowel resection in a patient presenting with concerning clinical and image findings, as was seen in this patient.

Abstract

Background
The use of patient-reported outcome (PRO) could potentially contribute to the reorganization of the health care system. AmbuFlex is a PRO system used in remote patient monitoring, in which questionnaires are sent to patients at fixed intervals. The PRO data are used by clinicians to decide whether patients need clinical attention. Better self-management and cost-saving follow-up activities may be achieved by letting patients initiate need of contact. We evaluated the effects of patient-initiated PRO-based outpatient follow-up on health care resource utilization, quality of care, and the patient perspective.

Methods
We conducted a parallel two-arm pragmatic randomized controlled trial at the Department of Neurology, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. Outpatients with epilepsy (≥ 15 years old), attending fixed-interval PRO-based follow-up with web-based questionnaires, were randomly assigned in a ratio of 0.55:0.45 to either 1) patient-initiated PRO-based follow-up (open access telePRO) or 2) fixed-interval PRO-based follow-up (standard telePRO). The primary outcome was the number of outpatient hospital contacts related to epilepsy retrieved from a regional registry. Hospitals admissions and emergency room visits were also assessed. Secondary self-reported outcomes including general health, well-being, health literacy, self-efficacy, number of seizures, side effects, confidence, safety, and satisfaction were retrieved from questionnaires. Data were analyzed by the intention-to-treat and per-protocol approaches.

Results
Between January 2016 and July 2016, 593 patients were randomized to either open access telePRO (n = 346) or standard telePRO (n = 247). At 18 months, no statistically significant differences were found between the arms regarding number of telephone consultations or outpatient visits. Patients in the open access arm had a slightly lower, statistically significant number of emergency room visits than patients in the standard arm. Self-reported mental well-being in the open access arm was slightly, statistically significantly lower than in the standard arm. Other secondary outcomes did not differ statistically significantly between arms.

Conclusion
This study did not find, as hypothesized, less use of health care resources or improved patient self-management or satisfaction in the patient-initiated PRO-based initiative compared to fixed-interval PRO-based follow-up. Patient-initiated PRO-based follow-up may be used as an alternative to fixed-interval PRO-based follow-up in patients who prefer this approach, but there is insufficient evidence for recommending a system-wide shift to patient-initiated PRO-based follow-up.

Lowering CO2 emissions in the Swiss transport sector
Authors: Thalmann Philippe , Vielle Marc 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
In Switzerland, transportation represents 41% of CO2 emissions from energy combustion (2016), a much higher share than in the European Union (EU) (28%) or even the USA (34%). While total Swiss CO2 emissions decreased by 10% between 1990 and 2016, CO2 emissions from transport increased by 4.5% over the same period (all data from UNFCCC database). Our projections (Vielle and Thalmann, Updated emissions scenarios without measures, 1990-2025, Tech. rep., 2017) show that the contribution of the transport sector would remain constant in a scenario taking into account climate and energy policy measures already implemented or adopted in 2016. In the EU, several initiatives have already been introduced to limit the use of petroleum products in transportation. This paper presents deep decarbonization pathways for Switzerland that demand a strong contribution from the transport sector. We find that a preferential treatment of transportation fuels raises the welfare cost of decarbonization by about 18% relative to a uniform tax on all fossil fuels. This is of similar magnitude as the preferential treatment of large CO2 emitters through an emissions trading system. We also find that the preferential treatment leads to a share of fossil fuels in total energy for road transportation in 2050 which is approximately twice as high as in the uniform treatment.

Η ερευνητική μας εργασία έχει ως κύριο θέμα τη μελέτη διαφόρων γενετικών γνωρισμάτων σε πληθυσμιακό επίπεδο και στατιστική ανάλυση της γενετικής ποικιλότητας. Η έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκε σε σύνολο 320 μαθητών του σχολείου Ελληνογερμανική Αγωγή. Η ομάδα μας κατέγραψε την εμφάνιση ορισμένων χαρακτηριστικών του σώματος: το σχήμα των λοβών του αυτιού, γραμμή τριχοφυίας, λακκάκια στα μάγουλα και στο πηγούνι, αναδίπλωση της γλώσσας, αντίχειρας όρθιος ή με κάμψη, δακτυλάκι του χεριού ίσιο ή πλάγιο, ύπαρξη φακίδων, χρώμα και σχήμα μαλλιών, χρώμα ματιών. Ακολούθησε στατιστική επεξεργασία των αποτελεσμάτων και συσχέτιση αυτών με το είδος του γονιδίου από το οποίο ελέγχονται, επικρατές ή υπολειπόμενο. Παρατηρήσαμε ότι τα περισσότερα επικρατή γονίδια όντως απαντώνται σε μεγαλύτερη συχνότητα στον πληθυσμό, υπάρχουν όμως και μερικές ενδιαφέρουσες εξαιρέσεις, οι οποίες οφείλονται στο γεγονός ότι κάποια γνωρίσματα ελέγχονται από περισσότερα του ενός γονίδια και η έκφρασή τους επηρεάζεται εκτός από γενετικούς και από περιβαλλοντικούς παράγοντες.

The World of Friendship Forest project is located in the Finnish town of Salo, where the School of Uskela, Anjalankatu Unit has implemented various smaller projects in their nearby forest to engage students in meaningful and interesting activities which provide benefit for the whole town community. The school provides special education for grades 1 to 9 (ages 7 to 16) and the European Project Open Schools for Open Societies ( OSOS) projects so far have involved 60 students in total. The students of the school have extensive learning difficulties and behavioural and emotional troubles. Most students have a low socioeconomic status. Majority of the students also have low self-esteem. From the point of view of students’ overall development, it has been important to provide them with socially significant activities and to provide students with experiences of success and sense of togetherness. The main partners in the project have been the sports office of the town and schools of Tupuri and Uskela, Kavilankatu unit and the University of Turku.

Published: September 2019

Background:As the most frequent infectious disease among children worldwide, dental caries have a strong relationship with oral hygiene status, specifically in the development of infection. However, the study regarding the identification and distribution of oralVeillonellaare limited. The oralVeillonellacommunity may affected by the differences in geographical location, age, diet, lifestyle, socio-economic status and oral hygiene status. Here, we studied the oral hygiene status by examining the composition and proportion of oralVeillonellaspecies in saliva of Japanese children.Methods:Microbial samples collected from 15 Japanese children divided into three oral hygiene groups were cultured under anaerobic conditions after homogenization and dilution, and inoculated onto brain heart infusion and selective mediumVeillonellaagar. Genomic DNA was extracted from each isolate.Veillonellaspecies were detected by one-step PCR usingrpoBspecies-specific primers. To analyse the phylogenetic properties of the unknownVeillonellastrains, PCR amplification and sequence analysis ofrpoBwere conducted for 10 representative strains.Results:AlthoughV. rogosaewas found as the predominant species among all groups, its prevalence was significantly lower in the children with poor oral hygiene than in those with good oral hygiene.V. parvulawas the prevalent species in the poor oral hygiene group. Approximately 10% of the isolatedVeillonellastrains were not classified to any established species; the phylogenetic analysis showed that they were most closely related toV.infantiumConclusions:This study demonstrates that the composition and proportion of oralVeillonellaspecies in the saliva of Japanese children is correlated with different oral hygiene status. Changes in detection ratios ofV. parvulaandV. rogosaecan be useful indicators of oral hygiene status. Furthermore, new strains closely related toV. infantiumwere isolated from the saliva of Japanese children.
Capacity Allocation in Flexible Production Networks: Theory and Applications

Published: September 2019

In many production environments, a fixed network of capacity is shared flexibly between multiple products with random demands. What is the best way to configure the capacity of the production network and to allocate the available capacity to meet predetermined fill rate requirements? We develop a new approach for network capacity configuration and allocation and characterize the relationship between the capacity of the network and the attainable fill rate levels for the products, taking into account the flexibility structure of the network. This builds on a new randomized allocation mechanism to deliver the desired services. We use this theory to investigate the connection between the flexibility structure and capacity configuration. We provide a new perspective to the well-known phenomenon that “long chain is almost as good as the fully flexible network”: for given target fill rates, the required capacity level in a long-chain network is close to that in a fully flexible network and is much lower than a dedicated system. We apply these insights and techniques on problems arising in the design of last-mile delivery operations and in semiconductor production planning, using real data from two companies.

Valuable Choices: Prominent Venture Capitalists’ Influence on Startup CEO Replacements
Authors: Conti Annamaria , Graham Stuart J. H. 
Published: September 2019

This paper explores how prominent venture capitalists (VCs) affect chief executive officer (CEO) replacement in startups. Defining prominence using eigenvector centrality, we use matching methods and instrumental variables to show that startup CEO replacement occurs more often and faster when prominent VCs participate. We further explore these VCs’ comparative advantage in managing CEO turnover, finding that the prominent VC effects increase as replacement costs rise, such as when incumbent CEOs are entrenched or possess specialized technology know-how, or when startups are in an early stage. When prominent VCs participate, replacement CEOs are disproportionately experienced outsiders—external hires who possess prior startup CEO experience. Our results reveal that CEO turnover is associated with increases in startups’ ex post innovation and survival performance, with experienced outsider CEO replacements showing the strongest survival rates.

Debt and Bargaining Outcomes: Evidence from U.S. Hospitals
Authors: Towner Mitch 
Published: September 2019

Using the healthcare industry as a novel laboratory, I study whether a firm’s use of debt enhances its bargaining power during negotiations with nonfinancial stakeholders. I find that reimbursement rates negotiated between a hospital and insurers for two homogeneous procedures are higher when the hospital has more debt. This relation is stronger among hospitals with less bargaining power relative to insurers ex ante. The evidence is consistent with the idea that debt improves a firm’s bargaining power.

What are the challenges for nurses when providing end-of-life care in intensive care units?
Authors: Griffiths Ian 
Published: September 2019

Aim: this literature review aimed to explore qualitative studies in which nurses discussed the challenges they face when delivering end-of-life care in intensive care units (ICUs). Analysis and discussion of the studies' findings aimed to contribute to the current evidence base surrounding the subject. Method: a systematic search of academic databases was conducted to source relevant studies. An inductive process using grounded theory was undertaken to elicit suitable themes to address the review question. Findings: six relevant studies were identified with four main themes emerging from analysis. The themes were a lack of nurse involvement in end-of-life care decision-making, a lack of nursing knowledge in providing end-of-life care, the dilemma of prioritising care between the patient and family, and the nature of providing end-of-life care within an ICU environment. Conclusion: the provision of end-of-life care in ICUs requires nurses to be involved in interdisciplinary communication. ICU-specific end-of-life care education, training and guidelines need to be implemented to ensure patients receive high-quality, patient-centred care.

Authors: Mulia Harpan Reski 
Published: September 2019

In many methods that can be used to make better education, one of them is by using methods of reward and punishment or reward and punishment. The use of this method is based on, that people love to get reward and do not like to get punishment. These basics are meant in the context of Islam in order to express about Islam in methods of reward and punishment. Not just Muslim translations, much more is learned in the context of hadith. After tracing in the context of Islam it was found out that Islamic Educational figures believed in such methods, such as Ibn Sina, al-Gazali and Abdullah Nasih Ulwah, although with a note using a better method of punishment, in educating children, then giving also not and will be easily, and the punch can be done with a punch that does not involve children. In the concept of hadith also found from the search results of the Apostle's Apostle, and did the same. Based on research on sanad and matan hadith, which is related to reward and punishment, it is found that it is legitimate and well-known hadiths also known as gifts, the punishment addressed in the method of reward and punishment in this paper is authentic hadith accepted. Keywords: reward, punishment, concept of psychology, concept of Islam, study of hadis.
KONSEP PENENTUAN HALAL DALAM EKONOMI ISLAM (Studi Komparasi Hadits Riwayat Bukhari dan Tirmidzi)
Authors: Anwaril Muttaqin Aris 
Published: September 2019

Abstrak Kehalalan merupakan unsur penting dalam pengambilan keputusan ekonomi bagi umat islam. Kehalalan tidak hanya mengacu pada materi (dzat) nya, tetapi juga posesnya. Petunjuk ilahi (wahyu) berupa hadits memiliki peran penting dalam penentuan kehalalan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan penentuan halal dengan membandingkan hadits yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Bukhari dan Imam Tirmidzi, di mana kedua riwayat menggunakan redaksi (matan) yang berbeda. Riwayat Bukhari menyebutkan bahwa antara halal dan haram adalah perkara yang samar (umurun musytabihatun), sehingga harus dijauhi. Sedangkan riwayat Tirmidzi menyebutkan bahwa antara halal dan haram adalah perkara yang dimaafkan (mimma ‘afa ‘anhu), sehingga boleh saja dilakukan. Adakah perbenturan dalil (ta’arudh) dari kedua riwayat tersebut? Mungkinkah kedua dalil itu dapat digunakan sekaligus, sehingga tidak ada dalil yang disingkirkan? Atau haruskah satu di antaranya diamalkan, sedangkan yang satu lagi ditinggal? Atau haruskah kedua dalil itu ditinggalkan? Penelitian ini menggunakan metode riset kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan ilmu hadits dan ushul fiqh. Pendekatan ilmu hadits digunakan untuk menjelaskan perbandingan tingkat kualitas hadits dari sisi sanad, melalui CD ROM Lidwa Pusaka i-software – Kitab9 Imam Hadits. Sedangkan pendekatan ushul fiqh digunakan untuk menganalisa ada tidaknya perbenturan dalil (ta’arud) antara kedua riwayat tersebut sekaligus cara menyikapinya. Kata kunci: halal, hadits, ta’arudh
