EVALUATION AND OUTCOME OF EMERGENCY GIT SURGERIES

Background: Emergency gastrointestinal surgeries are frequently performed procedure which have mortality and morbidity much more than that of elective surgery, they carry a substantial risk of operative and postoperative complications and death. A system was developed to allow for the rst time an assessment of surgical quality that was risk adjusted for the patient's acute and chronic physiological status and for the nature of operation. The POSSUM audit system was designed to be easy and rapid to use and to have wide application across the general surgical spectrum both in the elective and emergency settings. Our study was conducted on 96 Pat Methods: ients of acute abdomen and blunt injury undergoing emergency GIT surgery and patients which develop postoperative complications admitted in department of surgery, RD Gardi Medical College,Ujjain between November 2018 to April 2020 Our study Signies that Forty-thre Results: e percent patients had morbidity in these group of patients, among which wound related complication has the predominant cause of morbidity, pulmonary complication were also common. In total eight patients died in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy four because of of MODS three due to SIRS and one due to sepsis. In our study, ve patients had cardiac risk . Respiratory signs were more prevalent seventeen patients having them, Blood loss was also higher with eleven patients having more than 1000 ml blood loss. Peritoneal soiling was also very common, with thirty seven patients having localised pus collections in forty-one, spillage of bowel contents seen in seventeen patients and hemoperitoneum in four patients Recognizing Conclusions. patients who are at high risk to develop complications and who have high risk of mortality would prompt us to take necessary and timely action and aid us in the better management of the patient. POSSUM mortality equation over predicts mortality especially in low risk groups, while predictive value improves signicantly when exponential analysis is used.Hence POSSUM scoring system has an undeniable advantage in our set up for better patient counseling, improving the surgical outcomes in emergency wards and for better management of limited resources and manpower.

국방위기에 대비한 국방민간인력 활용방안

The security situation in South Korea is unstable due to the increase in North Korea's conventional military power and asymmetric threats such as nuclear and missile. For crisis management, South Korea needs a preemptive response in line with the rapid decrease in military service resources and changes in the defense environment. The urn-shaped structure centered on the cadres and the advanced science and technology army must take a leap forward. As in the case of advanced countries, it is efficient for the military and civil defense personnel to perform defense tasks together. Accordingly, it is necessary to expand the scope and expertise of the defense civil manpower, to strengthen the capabilities of military personnel, and to prepare legal and institutional support grounds to ensure mission conditions. As such, it is necessary to review active policies on the use of defense civilian manpower to efficiently perform advanced and diversified defense work and to operate economically manpower.

National Culture and Human Resources Management of Transnational Companies

The national culture of each country is certainly different. It certainly contains a cultural direction that influences the character of the citizens of that country. The character of each country's human resources is clearly shaped by the national culture adopted. In the business world, it is possible for a country to open a business unit in a country that they perceive as having an accommodative investment climate. No wonder an automotive manufacturer from Japan, for example, will set up its industry in Thailand, Vietnam, Latin America, to the European region. This study will look at the extent to which the role of national culture influences work culture in the company. Likewise, a country's company in transferring the management of Human Resources (HR) to its subsidiaries in various countries. This research is a qualitative literature review with descriptive method, corporate culture differs in one country and another where the company is located. Then the conclusion that can be drawn is that the management of manpower will depend on the national culture of the country.

The Formulation Impact of Investment-Hampering Regional Regulations Investment

After the ruling of the Constitutional Court (MK), Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) and the Provincial Government can no longer revoke the problematic Regional Regulation (Perda) via an executive review. This situation, would increase the difficulty for MoHA to revise the investment-hampering regional regulations. The problematic Regulations includes of Karawang District’s Perda No.1 of 2011 on the Management of Man Power and Bandung City’s Perda No. 19 of 2012 on Disturbance Permit and Charges. Therefore, this study seeks to have a general understanding of the two regulations, the factors that influence the formulation, and to establish a guideline for the formulation of an ideal regional regulation. To achieve those objectives, this research used the descriptive qualitative method. The results of the study reveal that the formulation of regional regulation process is plagued by problems such as the absence of Academic Papers, the insufficient stakeholders' involvements, the lack of monitoring by the provincial government on the district/municipal regulation formulation process, lack of understanding of investment principles and confusion with the regional government control function. The various factors that cause the issuance of problematic regulations are, among others, the central government’s regulatory packages, sociological elements, political elements, multi-interpretation in understanding the central government's regulation, as well as the fiscal capacity of the region. Therefore, the guidance of the Ministry of Home Affairs in supervising the regional government during the formulation process of districts/ municipal regulation related to investment is very much needed.

Evaluation of possum scoring system in patients undergoing laparotomy

Background: Prediction of complications is an essential part of risk management in surgery. Knowing which patient is at risk of developing complications contributes to the quality of surgical care and cost reduction in surgery. Among the variety of scoring systems used to identify the “high risk” patient POSSUM scoring is the most widely used.Methods: Patients undergoing laparotomy were selected serially and their physiological severity score on admission and operative severity scored at the end of 30days and compared with the POSSUM predicted score.Results: In the elective surgery group, patients with morbidity correlated with high POSSUM scores but due to low overall morbidity conclusions could not be drawn while in the emergency group predicted morbidity correlated well with observed results. The low overall mortality in the study group precluded meaningful analysis.Conclusions: POSSUM scoring system has an undeniable advantage in this set up for better patient counseling, improving the surgical outcomes in both emergency and elective wards and for better management of limited resources and manpower.

Laws Applicable to Medical Practice and Hospitals in India

ABSTRACT Healthcare in India features a universal healthcare care system run by the constituent states and territories. Law is an obligation on the part of society imposed by the competent authority, and noncompliance may lead to punishment in the form of monetary fine or imprisonment or both. The earliest known code of laws called the code of Hammurabi governed the various aspects of health practices including the fees payable to physician for satisfactory services. The first ever code of medical ethics called the Hippocratic oath was laid down 2500 years ago, in the 5th century BC, by Hippocrates'the Greek physician. The modern version of Hippocratic Oath (called the declaration of Geneva), devised by the WHO after the second world war and is accepted by international medical fraternity. The process of establishment of healthcare system during the colonial rule also necessitated creation of legislative framework for practitioners of medicine. As the number of doctors qualified in Indian medical colleges increased, creation of laws for them became necessary. The medical council of India, a national level statutory body for the doctors of modern medicine, was constituted after the enactment of Indian Medical Council Act 1933. The first legal recognition and registration for the Indian systems of medicine came when the Bombay Medical Practitioner’ Act was passed in 1938. Laws governing the commissioning of hospital are the laws to ensure that the hospital facilities are created after due process of registration, the facilities created are safe for the public using them, have at least the minimum essential infrastructure for the type and volume of workload anticipated and are subject to periodic inspections to ensure compliance. There are other laws pertaining to governing to the qualification/practice and conduct of professionals, sale, storage of drugs and safe medication, management of patients, environmental safety, employment and management of manpower, medicolegal aspects and laws pertaining to safety of patients, public and staff within the hospital premises. There are laws governing professional training and research, business aspects, licences/certifications required for hospitals, etc. A hospital administrator should be aware about all these laws, regulations, policies, procedures, reports and returns and keep abreast with the latest amendments to be on the safe side of law and provide quality care to the patients.
