New Concepts for Management of Atrial Fibrillation

Recent large registry studies of patients with AF have found an increased use of oral anticoagulation for prevention of thromboembolic events, consistent with the most recent Professional Guidelines. Although AF management has improved in clinical practice, anticoagulation use is often inappropriate and mortality rates remain high.

Modified Sistrunk operation: New concept for management of thyroglossal duct cyst

ObjectiveTo describe a method of hyoid cartilage division during Sistrunk operation for management of thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) and compare postoperative outcomes with those of conventional hyoid bone cutting. MethodsFifty-nine patients who received operative treatment for TGDC from January 2005 to July 2013 were enrolled. The degree of fusion in the cartilaginous portion of the hyoid was evaluated by preoperative neck computed tomography and classified into (1) non-fusion, (2) partial fusion, and (3) complete fusion. Techniques of hyoid management, division of the cartilaginous portion of the hyoid or conventional hyoid bone cutting, during Sistrunk operation were analyzed according to the fusion classification. ResultsOf the 59 patients, 27 were pediatric patients and 32 were adults. In 32 adults undergoing TGDC, there were 13 cases (41%) of complete hyoid fusion and 7 (22%) of non-fusion. A total of 20 adult patients (63%) were treated with the cartilage division. Among the pediatric patients, 96% of cases were classified as non-fusion of the hyoid, and all of these were treated with the cartilage division. Patients who were treated with the cartilage division showed better postoperative results. However, there were no statistical differences. ConclusionsOur cartilage division technique at Sistrunk operation for TGDC is feasible and comparable to conventional hyoid cutting with regard to postoperative results.

Auricular seroma: A new concept in management

Aim: Auricular seroma is a cystic swelling with a collection of serous fluid between the perichondrium and cartilage. The successful treatment of auricular seromas remains a challenge because this disease has a high propensity for recurrence. Methods: A total of 20 patients with auricular seromas were treated by remodeling a corrugated rubber drain. Results: All patients tolerated the procedure well. No patient had any collection of fluid after the removal of the splint. No patient experienced pain, fever, or edema after treatment. The seroma disappeared without disfigurement. There were no recurrences on further follow-up. Conclusion: Aspiration and splint application by remodeling a corrugated rubber drain provides very simple, minimally invasive, and effective management of seromas. It is a cost-effective treatment that prevents patient distress from fluid recollection and social embarrassment.

Las cooperativas y su influencia en la capacidad de innovación de las destinaciones turísticas

The tourism cooperatives appeared in the early sixties to meet a new mass phenomenon that exerted excessive pressure on travel agents to be supported individually. Their constant evolution, in parallel with that of the tourist destinations and also with the needs of the tourists, is transforming these cooperatives and directing them forcibly towards more advanced strategic phases. These are the new phases, along with the new concepts of management of destinations, which require the greater emphasis on innovation capacity generated by cooperatives over tourist destinations without these developed structures. This paper explains the basic reasons that cooperatives can access these advanced strategic phases, increasing its capacity for innovation. This result is the product of research findings on “Managing destinations” of the research group “Organizational Networks, Innovation and Tourism (onit)” of the Faculty of Tourism at the Universidad de Girona, 2011.

Is visual function affected in severe ocular allergies?

The purpose of the present review is to provide an overview on the clinical features and long-term complications of severe ocular allergies, with a special focus on the corneal involvement observed in these diseases, which may impair vision permanently. Furthermore, different treatment options are discussed based on the sight-threatening effects of corticosteroid use. Recent data on the demographics, clinical and immunologic features of vernal and atopic keratoconjunctivitis are presented and discussed, and the evidence of a lack of literature addressing the issue of visual outcome in allergic diseases is underlined. The efficacy and possible long-term complications of their treatments are described, including visual impairment. Diagnosis and treatment of patients with severe ocular allergy is a challenge for ophthalmologists due to the long-term corneal complications and the potential side-effects of topical corticosteroids that may induce cataract formation and glaucoma, and impair vision permanently. The review describes old and new concepts of management and possible complications such as severe, vision-threatening forms of allergic ocular disease. An update on their management and long-term complications may help clinicians to establish a common agreement on treatment options and researchers to design future studies based on similar outcomes, including visual acuity.

Amblyopia and amblyopia treatment study

Amblyopia comes from the Greek word meaning dull sight or blunt sight. Amblyopia occurs to abnormal visual experience early in life. It can be both unilateral (U/L) and/or bilateral (B/L). Amblyopia itself produces no change in the appearance of ocular structures, but it nearly always develops in association with some other condition that is evident on physical examination, and which is responsible for abnormal visual experience. It is one of the most common causes of visual impairment in childhood. Unless it is successfully treated in early childhood, amblyopia usually persists into adulthood. In 1997, the pediatric eye disease investigator group (PEDIG) was formed to conduct clinical research in eye disorders affecting children. The studies were conducted through simple protocols with limited data collection and implemented by both university and community based pediatric eye care practitioners as part of their routine practice in USA. Hence PEDIG has laid emphasis on studies of treatment modalities of amblyopia, the Amblyopia Treatment Studies (ATS). The recent general guidelines for occlusion therapy are based on ongoing ATS. New concepts of management on amblyopia are practiced now- a-days based on ATS. This article is an update on amblyopia and its management.

Introduction: Advances in E-business engineering

E-business is more than just e-commerce. It is one of the most challenging areas for industry and research communities. E-business has evolved from business-to-business, business-to-customer, customer-to-business, customer-tocustomer, and business-to-government systems to the integrated and collaborative business services among various information systems and e-marketplaces. In this evolving process, integrated e-business systems and their related supporting platforms have to be rapidly designed and developed in order to meet different requirements. A variety of e-business engineering paradigms and technologies have been developed to tackle these challenges. There are many research issues needed to be addressed. These issues include heterogeneous services integration, disparate e-business functions collaboration, semantic level e-business messaging, etc. Today, not only large companies, but also medium or small-sized companies are learning that e-business is a required component of doing business. As a result, there is a growing demand for insights into challenges, issues, and solutions related to the design, implementation, and management of e-business systems. To respond to the market needs from both academic researchers and practitioners, and to communicate research results on e-business engineering, a number of related conferences organized by the IFIP TC8 WG8.9, IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on E-Commerce, and IEEE SMC Society Technical Committee on Enterprise Information Systems have been held in the past years. Such conferences include IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering, IFIP International Conference on Research and Practical Issues of Enterprise Information Systems (Confenis), IEEE SMC International Conference Special Session on Enterprise Information Systems, GCIS, and WCSE. These conferences plus workshops have provided an international forum for researchers in academia and industry to present their most recent findings in e-business engineering. This special issue of Information Technology and Management presents expanded versions of 12 papers from the above-mentioned conferences held recently. The purpose of this special issue is to report on the state-of-the-art of, and emerging trends in, research and practice in e-business engineering. To prepare for this issue, all authors were asked to respond to two rounds of peer review. Each paper emphasizes the importance of e-business engineering from a unique perspective. In the paper by Academician Shoubo Xu of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a new concept of management is proposed. The author indicates that ‘‘to manage’’ means to lead, to plan, to organize and to control; and ‘‘to reason’’ means to understand the law of the development of objects being managed. This new concept is an integration of the two elements of ‘‘managing’’ and ‘‘reasoning’’. As such, management is to study the contradictory relationship between ‘‘managing’’ and ‘‘reasoning’’, and consider how such a relationship develops and changes. The paper discusses its broad applications including information industry such as e-business. Qian, Jin and Fang of the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in their paper entitled ‘‘Heuristic algorithms for effective broker deployment’’, proposes a model for the broker deployment problem, and presents two heuristic algorithms for the multi-object optimization of broker deployment. Experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. L.

Management: a scientific discipline for humanity

This paper proposed a new concept of management: Managing According to Reason (MR). Since "manage" means to lead, plan, organize and control, and "reason" means to understand the law of the development of objects being managed, this new concept is an integration of the two elements of "managing" and "reason". MR studies the contradictory relationship between "managing" and "reason", and considers how such a relationship changes and develops. MR is an integration of the disciplines of management, philosophy, natural science, engineering technology, and social science. We believe the MR is a comprehensive scientific discipline that will greatly benefit humanity. Since "management" cannot work without power, while "reason" relies on science, MR is an integration of power and science. Power is MR's assurance, and science is MR's basis. We believe that MR will play a major role in twenty-first century.

Introduction: New concepts of management of TIA as a medical emergency

一過性脳虚血発作(TIA)は発症後短期間に高率に脳梗塞を続発し，早期の検査・治療開始が脳梗塞発症の危険性を低下させる．ABCD2スコアはTIA発症後早期の脳梗塞発症危険度を簡便に予測できる．さらに頸動脈狭窄の有無，MRIの結果などを加味して危険度を評価し，包括的な内科治療および外科的治療を含めた，病態に沿った治療選択が重要である．TIAは脳梗塞に至る直前，崖っぷち段階の予防期と認識し，急性脳血管症候群として急性期脳梗塞と区別せずに診療する．これからのTIA診療は，脳卒中医療の新たなパラダイムシフトと捉え，医療従事者，市民への啓発をいっそう推進していく．

Vakuumassistierte Therapie zur Wundbehandlung im Kopf-Hals-Bereich

Chronic wounds are characterized by slow or nonexistent wound healing. Usually their treatment is expensive. Therefore new concepts in management are of interest in order to reduce treatment time and costs. One option is vacuum sealing. The concept of topical negative pressure is not new, and many chronic nonhealing wounds could be closed successfully with the help of vacuum sealing. Until now, there has been no documented case of vacuum sealing in head and neck reconstructive surgery. Our case shows the effectiveness of a vacuum-assisted device in successful closure of a chronic nonhealing wound in this region.

New Concepts of Management in Cultural Establishments: Experiences of Experts in the Field

New Public Management is being introduced in Germany as Contract Management — a management strategy that is characterized by extended flexibility in work performance and objectives. Control of processes is replaced by control of results with increased responsibility of the individuals for fulfilling the aims in the contracted area. In cultural establishments, contract management is implemented with the aim to create commitment not only within the public administration but also between the administrative body and the newly founded, independent enterprises of the communities. In reality, however, many of the processes carried out do not correspond to the theoretical requirements. In order to explore the structural level of the process of contracting in cultural establishments in Germany, we conducted expert interviews in three establishments selected from within the cultural sector. A total of 11 experts were asked for their personal evaluation of the following topics: purpose of contract management and particular effects; processes of negotiations relating to reform; consequences for employees; consequences for organizational

Electrical resection: new concept in management of focal epilepsy

Focal epilepsy secondary esp to scar or injured cortical tissue forms a source of constant depolarisation site with or without emitting negative charges (current of injury) into the surrounding area.This focal site is localised by EEG, MRI and if required, by PET and/or SPECT studies. The author postulates to implant electrical source of opposite charge overlying the focal site to nullify the constant depolarisation site (electrical resection) or short-circuit the current of injury to an inert site to alleviate focal epileptic attack. Preliminary trials in the form of scalp application of positivity have markedly improved EEG picture in terms of occurrence of epileptiform activity.

Conflicts of interest and management in managed care.

The bioethics literature on managed care has devoted significant attention to a broad range of conflicts that managed care is perceived to have introduced into the practice of medicine. In the first part of this paper we discuss three kinds of conflict of interest: conflicts of economic incentives, conflicts with patient and physician autonomy, and conflicts with the fiduciary character of the physician–patient relationship. We argue that the conflicts are either not as serious as they are often alleged to be or not unique to managed care. In part two we argue that managed care represents a new paradigm for medical care that features a new concept of management. We discuss three types or levels of management that managed care highlights, namely, administrative, clinical, and resource, which together offer a more sophisticated vantage point from which to assess patient care. We do not endorse managed care, but attempt to highlight some of the positive changes brought by managed care that were difficult to attain under traditional reimbursement systems.

Blunt abdominal injuries.

The management of blunt abdominal injury (BAI) has undergone quite significant changes over recent years. The emphasis is now on the recognition and limitation of the underlying metabolic insult associated with severe abdominal injury. The concepts of damage control and non-operative management while seeming diametrically opposed have both found favour in selected patient groups. The interventional radiologist has opened a new dimension in the control of inaccessible bleeding and is able to contribute to non-operative approaches. The complimentary use of the methods of investigation available for BAI will also improve the accuracy and specificity of diagnosis allowing more appropriate management. Embracing these new concepts of management by all institutions dealing with trauma victims will hopefully reduce the morbidity and mortality of BAI.

Perspectivas de desenvolvimento sustentável para o setor florestal na América Latina

A proposta de desenvolvimento sustentado representa atualmente elemento de aprofundamento das discussões quanto ao real significado dos conceitos de progresso e desenvolvimento econômico e social. A premência por alternativas estabelecida a partir das crises ambiental e de recursos tem induzido a procura de estratégias que traduzam uma solução consistente de continuidade dos processo de desenvolvimento, sem que para isso ocorra o comprometimento da base de sustentação das atividades produtivas. As perspectivas de desenvolvimento sustentado para o setor de papel e celulose na América Latina, especificamente quanto às atividades de exploração florestal, estão intimamente relacionadas a dois aspectos fundamentais: estabelecimento de uma sistemática de negociação política entre o setor produtivo e demais representantes da sociedade; inserção dos empreendimentos dentro de uma escala mais ampla, na qual estes estejam plenamente integrados à programas de desenvolvimento regional multi-setoriais. Ademais, torna-se cada vez mais necessária a consideração de particularidades ambientais, sociais e políticas inerentes a determinado local/região. Especificamente quanto a economias e sociedades latino-americanas, o reconhecimento do contexto histórico de desenvolvimento regional constitui elemento fundamental de planejamento estratégico e de compreensão do contexto ambiental e político. O estado das artes em ciência e tecnologia, embora apresente um nível significativo de incerteza, permite a incorporação e desenvolvimento de novas estratégias de gerenciamento. A gestão ambiental, representada pelo gerenciamento de processos ambientais e produtivos de forma integrada, apresenta-se como alternativa viável de transição para um modelo de maior sustentabilidade. Programas de planejamento estratégico, aliados a sistemas dinâmicos de gerenciamento ambiental, constituem as ferramentas atualmente disponíveis para implementação e aprimoramento das sistemáticas de manejo e exploração florestal.

Work with and implementation of new concepts for management of product development—experiences for the Swedish Manufacturing Industry

AbstractExtensive organizational changes in the management of product development work of industrial companies are currently taking place. Speediness (time‐based competition) and/or ‘high’ quality (total quality) are emphasized and for this purpose concepts such as simultaneous, concurrent or integrated product development have been introduced. This paper describes a study of the importance of these concepts in 29 large Swedish manufacturing companies and how these companies deal with the implementation of the new product development concepts. In addition, three in‐depth studies have been carried out to enable a more detailed study to be made of the effects of the product development work on time and quality variables.
