Awareness and knowledge of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome: results of an international survey.

Surveys have demonstrated a lack of physician awareness of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome (IAH/ACS) and wide variations in management of these conditions, with many intensive care units (ICUs) reporting that they do not measure intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). We sought to determine the association between publication of the 2006/2007 World Society of the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (WSACS) Consensus Definitions and Guidelines and IAH/ACS clinical awareness and management. The WSACS Executive Committee created an interactive online survey with 53 questions, accessible from November 2006 until December 2008. The survey was endorsed by the WSACS, the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM). A link to the survey was emailed to all members of the supporting societies. Participants of the 3rd World Congress on Abdominal Compartment Syndrome meeting (March 2007, Antwerp, Belgium) were also asked to complete the questionnaire. No reminders were sent. Based on 13 knowledge questions an overall score was calculated (expressed as percentage). A total of 2244 of the approximately 10,000 clinicians sent the survey responded (response rate, 22.4%). Most of the 2244 respondents (79.2%) completing the survey were physicians or physicians in training and the majority were residing in North America (53.0%). The majority of responders (85%) were familiar with IAP/IAH/ACS, but only 28% were aware of the WSACS consensus definitions for IAH/ACS. Three quarters of respondents considered the cut-off for IAH to be at least 15 mm Hg, and nearly two thirds believed the cut-off for ACS was higher than the currently suggested consensus definition (20 mm Hg). In 67.8% of respondents, organ dysfunction was only considered a problem with IAP of 20 mm Hg or higher. IAP was measured most frequently via the bladder (91.9%), but the majority reported that they instilled volumes well above the current guidelines. Surgical decompression was frequently used to treat IAH/ACS, whereas medical management was only attempted by about half of the respondents. Decisions to decompress the abdomen were predominantly based on the severity of IAP elevation and presence of organ dysfunction (74.4%). Overall knowledge scores were low (43 ± 15%), respondents that were aware of the WSACS had a better score compared to those who were not (49.6% vs. 38.6%, P < 0.001). This survey showed that although most responding clinicians claim to be familiar with IAH and ACS, knowledge of published consensus definitions, measurement techniques, and clinical management are inadequate.

ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIES BECOMING SICK BY RATIO ANALYSIS

Industries becoming sick has become a great problem everywhere in this industrial world especially in the 3rd world countries. Many researches have been done to analyze the problem and suggest opinions about solving this problem as huge amount of capital is lost if an industry becomes sick and go out of business. If the numbers become multiple, such happenings might affect national economy and thus it draws attention of political and business leaders besides new entrepreneurs of the country. In this paper an attempt has been made to analyze this problem by using financial ratio analysis. Various financial ratios of two numbers of medium and large industries of one industrial corporation in Bangladesh have been calculated by using actual financial data of the industries. The data has been analyzed and a correlation has been shown with various financial ratios with the industries becoming sick. The authors hope that the findings of the analysis will attract attention of academicians, industrialists, political leaders, and the owners of the industries which are becoming sick and will also show a guiding path to new entrepreneurs.

Marksizm i socjalizm w XXI wieku

The collapse of „real socialism” in b. The USSR and European countries in the 90s of the twentieth century strengthened the counter-revolution, global capitalism and imperialism. Capitalism has entered the era of globalization and subsequent crises that overcomes in Europe through integration, while globally by a new wars. The contradictions of the capitalist, big unemployment, crises, wars and class antagonisms between the bourgeoisie (oligarchy) and the proletariat (prekariatem), the imperialist states and the countries of the so-called. 3rd world contribute to the growth of anti-capitalist forces, including the international communist movement and the search for a new intake of scientific socialism – suitable for the conditions of the knowledge society, globalization and the contradictions of the 21st century. In China and Cuba created new theories which Marxism matched to local conditions for growth. In the international communist movement takes place a multilateral discussion on contemporary Marxism and socialism of the XXI century. The basic problem is to define the main force of the revolutionary, socialist market economy, diversity and unity of the communist movement, the possibility of unity and cooperation communists, socialists and social democrats.

What Narrative? What Dissent?: Refractive Visions of India in M. Duras’s India Song and M. Padmanabhan’s Harvest

India has been a great pole of attraction for both colonial and postcolonial literature. Postcolonial drama has also shown an equal fascination with this huge and versatile Asiatic land, as reflected in Marguerite Duras’s India Song (1974) and Manjula Padmanabhan’s Harvest (1997). Despite the cultural difference between their authors and the 20-years’ gap in their writing, the two plays are comparable on various thematic and aesthetic issues. They are both narratives of chaos, violence, frustration and despair, dealing with slippery and disembodied subjectivities, which point to mortality and ultimately death. The atmosphere of distancing from reality and the process from gradual disappearance to total absence are achieved through voices off, fictionalization or virtuality, while scopophilia is also enhanced both as a dramatic device and as a trope of audience reception. However, the stance and the mood of the writing are radically different in the two plays: nonchalance, nostalgia and postcolonial melancholia in the French play; biting satire and political urgency in the Indian play. Despite the hybrid identity and the cosmopolitanism of the two women dramatists, it becomes obvious that in the contemporary situation of global politics and transnational capitalism the position of the western writer is still more advantageous for the scope of the writing itself and its reception, whereas the 3rd world writer is still writing under a state of emergency and his/her work is perceived under the same restrictive circumstances.

The World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery: “The Olympics of our Profession”

The first World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology was held in London, United Kingdom, in 1980, organised by Dr. Jane Somerville and Prof. Fergus Macartney. The idea was that of Jane Somerville, who worked with enormous energy and enthusiasm to bring together paediatric cardiologists and surgeons from around the world. The 2nd World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology took place in New York in 1985, organised by Bill Rashkind, Mary Ellen Engle, and Eugene Doyle. The 3rd World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology was held in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1989, organised by Chompol Vongraprateep. Although cardiac surgeons were heavily involved in these early meetings, a separate World Congress of Paediatric Cardiac Surgery was held in Bergamo, Italy, in 1988, organised by Lucio Parenzan. Thereafter, it was recognised that surgeons and cardiologists working on the same problems and driven by a desire to help children should really rather meet together. A momentous decision was taken to initiate a Joint World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery. A steering committee was established with membership comprising the main organisers of the four separate previous Congresses, and additional members were recruited in an effort to achieve numerical equality of cardiologists and surgeons and a broad geographical representation. The historic 1st "World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery" took place in Paris in June, 1993, organised by Jean Kachaner. The next was to be held in Japan, but the catastrophic Kobe earthquake in 1995 forced relocation to Hawaii in 1997. Then followed Toronto, Canada (2001, organised by Bill Williams and Lee Benson), Buenos Aires, Argentina (2005, organised by Horatio Capelli and Guillermo Kreutzer), and most recently Cairns, Australia (2009, organised by Jim Wilkinson). Having visited Europe (1993), Asia-Pacific (1997), North America (2001), South America (2005), and Australia (2009), and reflecting the "African Renaissance", the World Congress is coming to Africa. The 6th World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, from 17 to 22 February, 2013. Cape Town is a sublime and compelling African destination with irresistible appeal. The South African Heart Association is the host.
