    NEW ENDOSCOPIC TECHNIQUE TO CLOSE LARGE MUCOSAL DEFECTS AFTER ENDOSCOPIC MUCOSAL RESECTION IN PATIENTS WITH GASTRIC MUCOSAL TUMORS

    DIGESTIVE ENDOSCOPY, Issue 4 2004
    Masaki Endo
    Endoscopic mucosal resection has been recognized as a standard method for treating mucosal tumors of the stomach in Japan. In our department, we have treated mucosal defects after this procedure by using metallic clips to prevent and manage complications related to endoscopic mucosal resection. In the present study, we explain the new technique, the ,loop-and-clips' method, which uses clips and a detachable snare to close large mucosal defects after endoscopic mucosal resection. [source]

    RULES, TECHNIQUE, AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE: A WITTGENSTEINIAN EXPLORATION OF VOCATIONAL LEARNING

    EDUCATIONAL THEORY, Issue 4 2006
    Christopher WinchArticle first published online: 30 NOV 200
    He argues that most rule-following is only successful when it involves a degree of flexibility. For instance, most technical work that involves rule-following requires flexibility and situational awareness for success. Technical education that fails to take account of the need to apply rules in a way that accounts for a wide variety of situations is likely to be unsuccessful. Winch offers an account of professional judgment based on Stephen Toulmin's theory of argumentation and discusses progression from novice to expert in terms of Toulmin's analysis. He also considers the relation between vocational education and other practices in the context of the wider civic implications of occupational practice. [source]

    PCR-BASED TECHNIQUE FOR IDENTIFICATION AND DETECTION OF TRICHOGRAMMA SPP. (HYMENOPTERA: TRICHOGRAMMATIDAE) WITH SPECIFIC PRIMERS

    INSECT SCIENCE, Issue 3 2002
    LI Zheng-xi
    Abstract The rDNA-ITS2 regions of T. dendrolimi Matsumura and T. ostriniae Pang et Chen (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) were cloned and sequenced. The homologous sequences available in GenBank were retrieved and analyzed, and then specific primers were designed for molecular identification and detection of T. dendrolimi. Repeated screening showed that PCR amplification by the diagnostic primers enabled the differentiation of not only bulk samples and single adult (male or female), but also eggs and juveniles, which was not possible by conventional methods. The advantage of this system over morphology-based systems is that non-specialists are able to identify individuals or trace specimens efficiently. The derived molecular detection technique was then used to identify 12 specimens collected from different localities on the Chinese mainland; the results showed that this protocol could be applied to molecular monitoring of Trichogramma species in the field. Finally, 1132s of 6 geographical populations of T. dendrolimi (TdCHA, TDJL, TdXZ, TdKH, TdCZ and TdYBL) were cloned and sequenced. The multialignment analysis of intraspecific ITS2 sequences showed that the diagnostic primers have their own theoretical bases. [source]

    "EVERYONE SHOULD BUTTONHOLE": A NOVEL TECHNIQUE FOR A REGIONAL AUSTRALIAN RENAL SERVICE

    JOURNAL OF RENAL CARE, Issue 3 2009
    Vicki Hartig RN
    SUMMARY The buttonhole, or constant-site, cannulation technique, although used elsewhere, had not been used in North Queensland, Australia, prior to 2005. This paper reports the results from a survey of patients' and nurses' initial experiences with the buttonhole cannulation technique 20 months after its introduction into a renal service in North Queensland. The use of the buttonhole technique increased the ease and decreased the discomfort associated with access cannulation for both patients and nurses; both groups reported less anxiety associated with this technique. The patients were especially pleased with the improved cosmetic appearance and indicated that they would be more likely to become involved in self-care, including self-cannulation. The nursing service has implemented strategies to ensure that buttonhole cannulation continues to be used as one means of arteriovenous fistula access across the region. A current study is examining longer-term outcomes of using the buttonhole technique within this regional service. [source]

    INFLUENCE OF MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE, TEST FOOD, TEETH AND MUSCLE FORCE INTERACTIONS IN MASTICATORY PERFORMANCE

    JOURNAL OF TEXTURE STUDIES, Issue 1 2007
    FLÁVIA RIQUETO GAMBARELI
    ABSTRACT The role of texture and flavors in mastication is evident, but it is difficult to understand the interactions among food properties, oral physiology and perception. Mastication results from rhythmic mandibular movements. The teeth and masticatory muscles together form the mechanism whereby the food particles are fragmented. Masticatory performance and efficiency are defined as the capacity to reduce natural or artificial test materials during mastication, or by counting the number of strokes required to reduce food, respectively. Foods eaten for nourishment are very different from the industrial test materials used to quantify masticatory performance, thus, divergences could arise if the chewable material can or cannot be swallowed. This study presents a synopsis of masticatory performance methods, which is also related to muscle force, number of teeth and test chewing substance diversity. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS The attributes of food, such as appearance, flavor and texture, as well as its interaction with saliva, number of teeth and conditions of the biomechanical system, influence the chewing process. In addition, reflex control and cognition can influence food perception and breakdown in the mouth. Food acceptability and choice depend on sensory properties of the food, which are perceived during chewing and swallowing. Masticatory performance and maximal occlusal force measurement may provide essential information that could lead to an appropriate diagnosis as regards masticatory function. Masticatory efficiency and performance can be measured to determine the individual's capacity to comminute a natural or a chewable test material. A material with uniform properties that can be reliably reproduced is essential to provide an ideal test bolus for the scientific study of masticatory effectiveness. [source]

    LOCALIZED TECHNICAL PROGRESS AND CHOICE OF TECHNIQUE IN A LINEAR PRODUCTION MODEL

    METROECONOMICA, Issue 2 2005
    Antonio D'Agata
    ABSTRACT The problem of choice of technique in single production linear models has been extensively analysed under the assumption that the set of processes available in the economy is exogenously given and globally known. However, since Atkinson and Stiglitz's 1969 article economists have considered technical change as a cumulative, localized and adaptive process. The aim of this paper is to develop an adaptive model of choice of technique within a classical theoretical framework. Our model provides, although in a very stylized way, an explicit description of the relationship between the currently employed processes of production and the new ones. This allows us to analyse in a rigorous way the ,secular' dynamics of the economy. [source]

    FIXED-FREQUENCY RADIO-WAVE IMAGING OF SUBSURFACE ARCHAEOLOGICAL FEATURES: A MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNIQUE FOR STUDYING ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES*

    ARCHAEOMETRY, Issue 1 2005
    L. SOMERS
    In memoriam Tony Clark Sadly, this research marked the last field visit to the test site that the authors were able to share with their colleague Tony Clark. His enthusiasm, experience and encouragement inspired us to complete this project that, to many, must have appeared as grown men at play in a sand pit. A new approach to subsurface exploration has been developed, based on fixed-frequency radio-wave illumination from a buried transmitter. Data are collected from a buried, continuous wave source with a phase-coherent surface-scanning receiver and recorded in a digital archive from which images of the archaeological features are subsequently produced. An important feature of this approach is the opportunity to separate the data collection and archive functions, which form an uncompromised record of the site, from the more subjective image formation function. This paper reports the results of a feasibility assessment programme and discusses the future application of the method to real archaeological sites. [source]

    An Exploratory Technique for Coherent Visualization of Time-varying Volume Data

    COMPUTER GRAPHICS FORUM, Issue 3 2010
    A. Tikhonova
    Abstract The selection of an appropriate global transfer function is essential for visualizing time-varying simulation data. This is especially challenging when the global data range is not known in advance, as is often the case in remote and in-situ visualization settings. Since the data range may vary dramatically as the simulation progresses, volume rendering using local transfer functions may not be coherent for all time steps. We present an exploratory technique that enables coherent classification of time-varying volume data. Unlike previous approaches, which require pre-processing of all time steps, our approach lets the user explore the transfer function space without accessing the original 3D data. This is useful for interactive visualization, and absolutely essential for in-situ visualization, where the entire simulation data range is not known in advance. Our approach generates a compact representation of each time step at rendering time in the form of ray attenuation functions, which are used for subsequent operations on the opacity and color mappings. The presented approach offers interactive exploration of time-varying simulation data that alleviates the cost associated with reloading and caching large data sets. [source]

    Current Technique of Fluid Status Assessment

    CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, Issue 2010
    FACEP, W. Frank Peacock MD
    Congest Heart Fail. 2010;16(4)(suppl 1):S45,S51. ©2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Early in the management of acute illness, it is critically important that volume status is accurately estimated. If inappropriate therapy is given because of errors in volume assessment, acute mortality rates are increased. Unfortunately, as the gold standard of radioisotopic volume measurement is costly and time-consuming, in the acute care environment clinicians are forced to rely on less accurate measures. In this manuscript, the authors review the currently available techniques of volume assessment for patients presenting with acute illness. In addition to discussing the accuracy of the history, physical examination, and radiography, acoustic cardiography and bedside ultrasonography are presented. [source]

    Monitoring Lung Resistivity Changes in Congestive Heart Failure Patients Using the Bioimpedance Technique

    CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, Issue 6 2005
    Sharon Zlochiver MSc
    The feasibility of a novel, dedicated system for monitoring lung resistivity in congestive heart failure patients, implementing a hybrid approach of the bioimpedance technique, was assessed in this preliminary study. Thirty-three healthy volunteers and 34 congestive heart failure patients were measured with the PulmoTrace system (Cardiolnspect, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel) during tidal respiration, and the ability to monitor the respective lung resistivity values was assessed. Mean left and right lung resistivity values of 1205±163 and 1200±165 ,·cm for the control group and 888±193 and 943±187 ,·cm for the congestive heart failure group were found, indicating a significant (p<2·10,7) difference between the two groups. The results of long-term monitoring of two patients during medical treatment are also shown. This hybrid approach system is believed to improve diagnostic capabilities and help physicians to better adjust medication dosage on a frequent basis. [source]

    Election Day: The Construction of Democracy through Technique

    CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, Issue 4 2004
    Kimberley A. Coles
    An ethnographic analysis of the international community's efforts to democratize postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina argues for greater acknowledgement of the social within the technical aspects of politics. Rather than viewing elections as a ritual symbolically reflecting or producing meaning, the insights of Bruno Latour and other scholars of science are applied to elections as a site that creates democratic knowledge and authority. Technical practices and objects construct elections as an apolitical and acultural event. However, the forms of authority and social relations created through this apparently neutral techne are tremendously social and political. Democracy and elections are firmly embedded in social practices, knowledges, and artifacts. [source]

    Immediate post-traumatic upper incisor reconstruction using composite resin materials

    DENTAL TRAUMATOLOGY, Issue 1 2008
    Vlatko Panduric
    Clinical inspection revealed a complex crown fracture of the central incisor as well as a simple horizontal fracture of the lateral incisor crown of the enamel-dentin type. Vertical fracture separated the palatal enamel wall from the rest of the lateral incisor crown. After the completion of the endodontic sanitation, root canals were prepared for prefabricated composite posts and crown reconstructions were performed with the Finger Tip Technique by using composite resin materials. The advantage of this kind of reconstruction is preservation of the hard dental crown tissue removed in case of prosthetic therapy, especially in younger patients. Reconstruction can be finished in one visit, without the need for a dental technician and laboratory. [source]

    Lateral Wedge Resection: A Simple Technique for Repairing Involutional Lower Eyelid Entropion

    DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY, Issue 9 2010
    IGAL LEIBOVITCH MD
    BACKGROUND Lower lid involutional entropion is a common eyelid pathology affecting the elderly population. Most of the reported surgical techniques are mainly based on a lateral tarsal strip anchored to the orbital rim. OBJECTIVES To report the surgical outcome using a simple single-stitch lateral wedge technique to repair involutional lower entropion. METHODS This single-surgeon, retrospective, noncomparative cases series included all patients with involutional lower eyelid entropion who were operated on using the lateral wedge technique. RESULTS Fifty-eight eyelids of 52 patients (46 unilateral, 6 bilateral; 27 men, 25 women; age, mean 67±10; range 50,85) underwent surgical repair. Immediate resolution of entropion and associated ocular symptoms was achieved in 55 eyelids (94.9%). One case had postoperative ectropion that completely resolved spontaneously after 4 weeks, and one had wound dehiscence that healed completely without any intervention. Another patient had residual entropion that resolved after an additional surgical repair. No other cases of recurrence were noted during a mean follow-up period of 16 months (range 6,24 months). CONCLUSION This minimally invasive single-stitch lateral wedge technique is a simple and effective procedure for repairing involutional lower eyelid entropion and is associated with low recurrence and complication rates.
