Dealing with Interval DEA Based on Error Propagation and Entropy: A Case Study of Energy Efficiency of Regions in China Considering Environmental Factors
Authors: Fan Jianping , Yue Weizhen , Wu Meiqin 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThe conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) consuming multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs under the assumption that all the data are exact. In the real world, however, it is possible to obtain interval data rather than exact data because of various limitations, such as statistical errors and incomplete information, et al. To overcome those limitations, researchers have proposed kinds of approaches dealing with interval DEA, which either use traditional DEA models by transforming interval data into exact data or get an efficiency interval by using the bound of interval data. In contrast to the traditional approaches above, the paper deals with interval DEA by combining traditional DEA models with error propagation and entropy, uses idea of the modified cross efficiency to get the ultimate cross efficiency of DMUs in the form of error distribution and ranks DMUs using the calculated ultimate cross efficiency by directional distance index. At last we illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method by applying it to measure energy efficiency of regions in China considering environmental factors.

Előzetes eredmények egy magyar mintán kidolgozott Intrauterin Kapcsolati Kérdőív méréses tapasztalatairól – pilot study
Authors: Hadházi Éva , Andrek Andrea , Kekecs Zoltán 
Published: August 2017

Elméleti háttér
Az 1980-as évektől kutatják az „anyai környezet” magzati fejlődésre gyakorolt hatását, ám az eredmények nem konzekvensek az anya–magzat kapcsolatot befolyásoló tényezőket illetően.

Cél
Magyar mintán kialakítani egy anya–magzat kapcsolatot mérő kérdőívet, valamint feltárni az intrauterin kötődésben meghatározó szerepet játszó jellegzetességeket.

Módszerek
114, 15 és 38 gesztációs hét közötti várandós anya vett részt a kutatásban, kitöltve az Intrauterin Kapcsolati Kérdőívet, a Maternal Fetal Attachment Scale magyar változatát (MFAS-HU), az Intimitás és a Szülői Bánásmód Kérdőívet.

Eredmények
A kialakított 28 tételes Intrauterin Kapcsolati Kérdőív (IUKK) faktorstruktúrája illeszkedési mutatókban az elvárások alatt marad (RMSEA = 0,08; χ2/df = 1,645; NFI = 0,85; CFI = 0,87). A 8 alskála Cronbach-alfa értékei 0,56–0,93 közöttiek. Explorátoros faktorelemezéssel sikerült egy jó kommunalitási tulajdonságokkal rendelkező rövidebb modellt kialakítani (IUKK–R), amely 12 tételt és 3 alskálát tartalmaz (RMSEA = 0,08; χ2/df = 1,660; NFI = 0,95; CFI = 0,96). Az IUKK–R Cronbach-alfa értékei magasak: 0,81–0,93. Elemzéseinkhez az IUKK–R modellt használtuk. Kérdőívünk korrelál az MFAS–HU-val, ugyanakkor a megragadott magzati kötődés dimenzióik nem teljesen átfedőek. A nemzetközi tapasztalatokkal nagyjából összhangban, az anya–magzat kapcsolat erősségében szignifikánsan magasabb értéket ér el az anya, ha bármelyik tényező jellemzi: házasságban él; magasabb az anyagi hozzájárulása a családi kasszához; nem volt korábban spontán vetélése, ő maga beavatkozástól mentesen, természetes módon született; biztosan tudja, vagy nem tudja a magzat nemét. Nem befolyásol a várandósság ideje, az iskolai végzettség, a várandósság tervezettsége, a fogantatás módja, a meglévő gyermekek száma és a magzatmozgás észlelése. A magzati kötődés összefügg a párkapcsolati intimitással: az észlelt gondoskodás kedvezőbb, míg az észlelt kontroll kedvezőtlenebb anya–magzat kötődéssel jár együtt. Az anya saját szüleivel való kapcsolatának megélése, az anyai és apai szeretet, pozitívan korrelál a saját magzatához fűződő kapcsolattal.

Következtetések
A magyar mintára kidolgozott kérdőív megbízhatósága ígéretes, de szükségesek további validitásvizsgálatok, nagyobb, heterogén mintán. Tapasztalataink felhívják a figyelmet a szülői bánásmód és a párkapcsolati gondoskodás jelentőségére a várandósság időszakában és gyakorlati relevanciával bírnak a prevenciós munkában.

Published: August 2017

The aim of the study is the identification of independent predictors of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children operated on for congenital malformations of the urinary tract (CMUT).
Methods. Study design – retrospective, observational, cohort. Inclusion criteria were CMUT, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <90 ml/min/1.73 m2. Age younger than 18 years of age. The study included 297 patients. Statistical processing of research results was carried out using the software package Statistica 6.0. and MedCalc (MedCalc Software, Belgium).
Results. We identified that only glomerular filtration rate during the initial hospitalization (ОR = 9.40) and arterial hypertension (OR = 4.40) were independent predictors of CKD progression. The combination of these two variant showed the area under the ROC curve (0.756), significantly (p < 0.005) higher than the isolated value of these symptoms.

Authors: Budarova Kristina V , Shmakov Aleksey N , Sirota Sergey I 
Published: August 2017

Background. Blood lactate level is often considered as a marker of complex metabolic disorders. Reducing the lactate’s level is a good indicator of therapy adequacy. The purpose: to show the significance of the determination of lactate for predicting the course of the postoperative period in newborns.
Materials and methods. 77 infants with abdominal surgical pathology were included in an observational study. Lactate level was measured on admission to the intensive care unit and three times in the first seven days of the postoperative period.
Results. ROC-analysis model showed a high predictive value of the indicator at the end of the first postoperative day and on the seventh day. Favorable outсome was connected with lactate ratio below 2.5 mmmol/L on admission, lower than 2.0 mmol/l in the third and seventh days. Point elevation to 3 mmol/l was marked at the end of the first postoperative day.
Conclusion. It is advisable to manage a dynamic assessment of lactatemia at the end of the first day and to the end of the third day of the postoperative period.

Published: August 2017

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. Breast cancer is also the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States after lung cancer with over 40,000 breast cancer deaths occurring each year.
The purpose of this research was to determine the all-cause mortality of applicants diagnosed with breast cancer currently or at some time in the past.
Life insurance applicants with reported breast cancer were extracted from data covering United States residents between November 2007 and November 2014. Information about these applicants was matched to the Social Security Death Master (SSDMF) file for deaths occurring from 2007 to 2011 and to another commercially available death source file (Other Death Source, ODS) for deaths occurring from 2007 to 2014 to determine vital status. If there was a death from the other death source, then the SSDMF was searched to verify the death.
The study had approximately 561,000 person-years of exposure.
Actual-to-expected (A/E) mortality ratios were calculated using the Society of Actuaries 2008 Valuation Basic Table (2008VBT), select and ultimate table (age last birthday) and the 2010 US population as expected mortality ratios. Since the A/Es presented in this paper were known to be an underestimate due to the exclusion of the recent SSDMF deaths, comparative analysis of the mortality ratios was done. Since there was no smoking status information in this study, all expected bases were not smoker distinct.
Overall, the 35-44 age group had 6.3 times the relative mortality ratio than those in the 65-75 age group. The relative mortality ratio for the 35-44 age group applicants, when cancer severity was accounted for in combination with 3 or more nodes of cancer involvement, was 29.3 times that when compared to those in the 65-75 age group having localized cancer, where no nodes are involved.
The 35-44 age group applicants who were diagnosed with cancer within the last year had over 10-fold increase in relative mortality ratios compared to the 65-75 age group, who were over 10 years from diagnosis. Taking the severity of cancer along with time from diagnosis showed over a 12 times relative mortality ratio between the low rate of over 10 years from diagnosis and localized involvement to those diagnosed within the last year having 3 or more nodes with cancer.
Applicant age, time since diagnosis and cancer severity were the most significant variables to predict the relative mortality ratios.
Atypical mycobacterial infection in post laparoscopy surgical wounds: our observations and review of literature
Authors: Krishnappa Rohit , Samarasam Inian 
Published: August 2017

Background: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a rare cause of chronic surgical infection in humans. These infections are commonly seen in the setting of laparoscopic surgery, due to poor sterilization techniques. This case series analyses the clinical features and management of patients with biopsy proven NTM infection, with a review of the current literature.Methods: Patients with chronic surgical site infections admitted to our surgical unit, over a 5-year period from January 2008 to December 2012 were analyzed in this study. A total of 24 patients with biopsy proven NTM were included. The clinical details, management protocol is discussed.Results: A total of 24 patients were analysed. Most of our patients were females (n=16) and this infection was most commonly seen following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n=10). The symptoms were usually benign but persistent watery or purulent discharge. Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonae were the predominant organisms isolated. All patients in this series were treated with extensive surgical debridement and long-term antibiotics. A multidrug antibiotic regimen consisting of Ciprofloxacin, Clarithromycin and Amikacin was used. All of our patients showed good response to treatment during stay and recurrence was seen in 3 patients who had delayed healing wounds.Conclusions: NTM is not an uncommon infection and can occur following laparoscopic or open surgical procedures. Improper sterilization and reuse of laparoscopic or open instruments accounts for the majority of the cases. When laparoscopic instruments are reused, following strict sterilization protocols is necessary to prevent this infection. When established, this infection should be treated aggressively with adequate surgical debridement, followed by long term antibiotics.
A pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of fibrin glue in attaching full thickness skin graft in repair of cicatricial ectropion
Authors: Vichare Nitin V. , Singh Jaswinder 
Published: August 2017

Background: Traditionally, sutures are used to attach skin graft. Periocular skin reconstruction is peculiar in respect of constant movement of the graft bed due to lid movements. This study was aimed at evaluating the use of fibrin glue in skin graft for cicatricial ectropion.Methods: This was prospective, non-randomized, interventional study. Total 10 patients with cicatricial ectropion were recruited. After dissection of scar, skin defect was covered with full thickness post auricular graft. Fibrin glue used to attach the graft over host bed. Bolster tied and bandage applied. Patients were evaluated for graft stability, opposition of graft host junction and graft uptake.Results: The mean age was 30.9 years. Patients were divided into three groups i.e. 20-30 years, 30-40 years and 40-50 years. There were 05 patients (50%) in first group, 03 patients (30%) in second group and 02 patients (20%) in third group. Majority (90%) were male. Following injury 70% patients reported between 1-3 years. Grade 3 ectropion was most common (60%). Average duration of surgery was 79.3 min (standard deviation of 14.15 min). Horizontal dimensions of graft, 32 mm maximum and 26 mm minimum (average 29 mm). Vertical dimensions of graft, 18 mm maximum and 12 mm minimum (average 15 mm). Graft uptake was complete in all cases. No cases of graft infection or necrosis. However, 03 patients had residual ectropion.Conclusions: Use of fibrin glue in attaching full thickness skin graft is an effective and safe technique with good uptake and stable graft host junction.

Design parameter estimations for adjustable bubble size in bubble generating system
Authors: Kim Tschung-il , Park Hyunju , Han Mooyoung 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
In this study, we developed a customized low cost and low energy bubble generator that can control bubble size. Hence, it can be used not only in the water treatment process but also in various other processes. This device was able to generate bubbles with a very simple system using only a general pump and a mixing chamber. Increasing the number of partition walls in the mixing chamber reduced the bubble size. Furthermore, bubbles of a few hundred nanometers were produced by the shear stress caused by increasing the thickness of the partition wall. Although the generated sub-micron bubbles were too small for their exact size to be measured using an image analysis and particle counting method, it was possible to confirm their existence indirectly through the coalescence arising from ultrasonic irradiation. The device used in this research is simple and allows bubble size to be adjusted easily by controlling the design of the mixing chamber. Therefore, it can be applied to a water treatment process, as well as a variety of other processes.
Racial Differences in Home Dialysis Utilization and Outcomes in Canada
Authors: Trinh Emilie , Na Yingbo , Sood Manish M. , Chan Christopher T. , Perl Jeffrey 
Published: August 2017

Background and objectives
Data on racial disparities in home dialysis utilization and outcomes are lacking in Canada, where health care is universally available.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We studied patients starting maintenance dialysis between 1996 and 2012 in the Canadian Organ Replacement Register, stratified by race: white, Asian, black, Aboriginal, Indian subcontinent, and other. The association between race and treatment with home dialysis was examined using generalized linear models. Secondary outcomes assessed racial differences in all-cause mortality and technique failure using a Fine and Gray competing risk model.

Results
66,600 patients initiated chronic dialysis between 1996 and 2012. Compared with whites (n=46,092), treatment with home dialysis was lower among Aboriginals (n=3866; adjusted relative risk, RR, 0.71; 95% confidence interval, CI, 0.66 to 0.76) and higher in Asians (n=4157; adjusted RR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.22 to 1.35) and others (n=2170; adjusted RR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.20) but similar in blacks (n=2143) and subcontinent Indians (n=2809). Black (adjusted hazard ratio, HR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.16 to 1.48) and Aboriginal (adjusted HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.33) patients treated with peritoneal dialysis had a significantly higher adjusted risk of technique failure compared with whites, whereas Asians had a lower risk (adjusted HR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.82 to 0.99). In patients on peritoneal dialysis, the risk of death was significantly lower in Asians (adjusted HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.75 to 0.92), blacks (adjusted HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.85), and others (adjusted HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.68 to 0.92) but higher in Aboriginals (adjusted HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.32) compared with whites. Among patients on home hemodialysis, no significant racial differences in patient and technique survival were observed, which may be limited by the low number of events among each subgroups.

Conclusions
With the exception of Aboriginals, all racial minority groups in Canada were as likely to be treated with home dialysis compared with whites. However, significant racial differences exist in outcomes.
Spontaneous angina bullosa hemorrhagica of tongue: An unusual problem following prosthodontic procedure
Authors: Sachdeva Suresh Kumar , Sachdeva Ashwani , Sachdeva Swati Saggar , Galav Ashok 
Published: August 2017

Introduction: Angina Bullosa Hemorrhagica (ABH) is the term used to describe benign subepitilial oral mucosal blood filled blisters, which are not attributed to any systemic disorder. It is a very uncommon condition, mostly seen in elderly patients. The exact etiopathogenesis of the ABH is not known. Herewith, we present a case of 50-year-old male patient who developed ABH on right lateral border of the tongue, following prosthodontics impression making for completely edentulous mouth. Methods: The case management method was topical application of chlorhexidine gel (1%) and lignocaine gel (2%) with avoidance of hot and spicy food. Result and discussion: After one week in treating with topical therapy, the lesion became normal. The diagnosis of ABH is difficult in patients because of its asymptomatic nature. The early diagnosis of the lesion is very important as a rapidly expanding blood-filled bulla in the oropharynx can cause upper airway obstruction. Therefore, a high level of suspicion is warranted on part of dentists who may the first to encounter the lesion. Conclusion: Spontaneous Angina Bullosa Hemorrhagica of tongue was an unusual problem that can occur following prosthodontic procedure. The management of the lession were intended to reduce pain or discomfort and prevent secondary infections.
