Anterolateral thigh perforator flap made by customized 3D-printing fabrication of fixed positioning guide for oromaxillofacial reconstruction:a preli…
2022
Oromaxillofacial carcinomas frequently result in serious tissue defect due to enlarged resection for treating their extensive invasion, which require challenging reconstruction. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an advanced technology which has greatly promoted the progress of craniomaxillofacial reconstructive surgery. This present study aimed to investigate the advantages of anterolateral thigh (ALT) perforator flap manufactured by 3D printing fixed positioning guide template in curing oromaxillofacial defect. Twenty patients with oromaxillofacial defects resulted from severe primary malignant tumors were divided into experimental group assisted by digital technique (n=8) and controlled …
Effect of Fibrin Sealant on Seroma Formation Post-Incisional Hernia Repair
2020
Background: Development of seroma after incisional hernia repair is a common complication. Our study aims to compare the outcomes of sublay incisional hernia repairs with or without spray instillation of fibrin glue. Methods: We enrolled fifty patients undergoing incisional hernia repair. In all patients a suction drain was placed in the subcutaneous space. In one group (FG) 4 ml fibrin glue was instilled in the subcutaneous space. In the control group (C) patients did not receive any prevention measure. Wounds fluids were collected on post-operative day 1 (POD) and once daily until drain removal. All patients were followed up by ultrasound on POD 15, 20, 40, 60. Results: Drain fluid produc…
The pivotal role of students’ absorptive capacity in management learning
2022
Within a research context dominated by an increasing interest in innovative learning method- ologies in management education, an individual’s capacity to establish links between existing and new knowledge, that is, absorptive capacity (AC), has been surprisingly neglected in management (higher) education inquiry. This study helps to close this gap by investigating the role of management students’ AC on their academic performance. The study also examines the moderating effect on this relationship of using traditional learning methodologies (such as lectures), innovative learning methodologies (such as interacting with digital platforms), and having a cooperative climate in the classroom. Sec…
[Is ICD-programming for double intraoperative defibrillation threshold energy safe and effective during long-time follow-up? Results of a prospective…
1999
The aim of this prospective and randomized study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a reduced shock strength in transvenous implantable defibrillator therapy. So far clinical data concerning the safety margin of the shock energy in ICD therapy do not exist. The shock energy tested during long-term follow-up in this study was twice the intraoperatively measured defibrillation threshold (DFT). A total number of 176 consecutive patients representing a typical cohort of ICD patients were evaluated. All patients received a non-thoracotomy lead system (CPI, Endotak 0070, 0090) and a biphasic cardioverter-defibrillator with the ability to store episodes (Cardiac Pacemakers Inc., Ventac TM …
Institutionalization of Strategy and Management Accounting Change in a Cooperative Bank
2019
In this longitudinal case study, a cooperative bank’s strategy, related performance management changes, institutionalization processes, and change drivers are studied. Old institutional economics is used in explaining how organizational routines and rules change and become taken for granted. However, there are several internal and external drivers of change in the banking sector, including organizational culture and values, EU regulation, digitalization as well as communicational gaps and power relations among organizational levels affecting the success of the change process. Results indicate that in the case bank, operating in a highly institutionalized and regulated environment, not many …
Educació Intercultural i TIC: claus pedagògiques de la innovació i el canvi social en el segle XXI
2012
Aquest article planteja la necessitat d'oferir claus pedagògics de la innovació i canvi social a les universitats i institucions de formació del segle XXI. Per tant, el que subratlla és la importància de promoure l'educació intercultural a través de les TIC (tecnologies de la informació i comunicació) com a element d'innovació i projecció positiva de la diversitat cultural. Cooperació en xarxa des d'una perspectiva intercultural i la promoció d'habilitats Interculturals són elements fonamentals per a transformar una societat formació escenaris en permanent canvi social.
Incidence and Management of Recurrence in Patients with Crohn's Disease Who Have Undergone Intestinal Resection: The Practicrohn Study.
2017
Background: More than 50% of patients with Crohn's disease require intestinal resection at least once. Postoperative recurrence (POR) is almost uniform if prophylactic treatment is not started early. Endoscopic monitoring is generally advised. We studied the incidence and management of recurrence in patients who had undergone intestinal resection. Methods: Practicrohn was an observational retrospective study performed in 26 Spanish hospitals including patients aged >= 18 years who underwent Crohn's disease-related ileocolonic resection between January 2007 and December 2010. We recorded preventive treatments, the incidence of clinical recurrence in daily practice, and associated risk factor…
Intranasal Insulin Administration to Prevent Delayed Neurocognitive Recovery and Postoperative Neurocognitive Disorder: A Narrative Review
2021
Delayed neurocognitive recovery and postoperative neurocognitive disorders are major complications of surgery, hospitalization, and anesthesia that are receiving increasing attention. Their incidence is reported to be 10–80% after cardiac surgery and 10–26% after non-cardiac surgery. Some of the risk factors include advanced age, level of education, history of diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, perioperative hyperglycemia, depth of anesthesia, blood pressure fluctuation during surgery, chronic respiratory diseases, etc. Scientific evidence suggests a causal association between anesthesia and delayed neurocognitive recovery or postoperative neurocognitive disorders, and various pathophysiologi…
Ārstēšanas aspekti bērnu vecuma pacientiem ar zarnu invagināciju
2016
Problēmas būtība. Zarnu invaginācija ir visbiežākais zarnu obstrukcijas iemesls bērniem vecumā no trīs mēnešiem līdz trīs gadiem (Bode, 2008). Neskatoties uz zinātnisko publikāciju klāstu, kas veltīts zarnu invagināciju izpētei, joprojām nav vienotu rekomendāciju par ārstēšanas pielietošanu. Pētījuma mērķi. 1) Literatūras apskates analīze. 2) Analizēt BKUS diagnostikas un ārstēšanas taktiku (rezultātus) pacientiem ar zarnu invagināciju laika posmā no 2006. gada janvāra līdz 2015. gada decembrim. 3) Salīdzināt iegūtos rezultātus ar pasaules literatūras datiem. Darba metode. Pēdējo piecu gadu literatūras atlase, izmantojot medicīnas literatūras datubāzes pēc atslēgas vārdiem. Retrospektīvs pē…
El consorcio contractual de I+D+i. Un instrumento de cooperación científica, tecnológica e industrial
2021
La cooperación con otras entidades es una de las vías seguidas por las empresas para optimizar sus productos o procesos; es decir, para llevar a cabo sus actividades de I+D+i (investigación científica, desarrollo tecnológico e innovación industrial). Comporta la formación de un consorcio con universidades, organismos de investigación y/u otras empresas, cuya misión será ejecutar conjuntamente un proyecto de I+D y, en muchos casos, explotar sus resultados de manera concertada. Dichos consorcios de I+D+i han ido cobrando relevancia en las últimas décadas, avivados por los programas de ayudas públicas que incentivan su creación. Sin embargo, a pesar de ser numerosos los autores que los han est…
