The repair of eyelid needs a good knowledge of reconstruction techniques. The goal of this work is to study epidemiological and technical aspects of eyelid defects in our context, and to evaluate their functional and aesthetic repair. We report cases concerned by loss of eyelid tissue operated between September 2011 and September 2016. Epidemiological, clinical and histo-pathological aspects are described, the repair processes and various surgical techniques are discussed. Among the identified cases of eyelid defects, 74% were malignant tumoral pathology, while 26% were benign. The repair techniques used were suture, direct healing, skin graft, flap of Mustardé with mucous chondro graft, frontal flap and sub-mental flap. The eyelid defects need functional and aesthetic valid repair, the various reconstruction means should begin from the simple ones to more complex.

Phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare fibroepithelial tumors in their malignant form, the gravity lies in high risk of local recurrence. We report two observations of patients admitted for the management of local recurrence of phyllode breast tumor. The average age of our patients was 39 years old. The size of the tumor ranged from 10 cm to 30 cm in diameter, with a localization exclusively on the right. Surgical management consisted of a enlarged tumor resection, followed by radiotherapeutic complement. Histologically, it was a phyllode tumor initially benign with slowly progressive evolution, to a phyllode sarcoma at one patient, and to a liposarcoma in the other. The evolution towards a malignant transformation can be explained in both cases by incomplete previous excisional gestures. This underlines the importance of early diagnosis and surgical management responding to oncological rules

Fatigue is often cited as a contributing factor in air incidents and accidents. Usually, the words "fatigue" and "sleepiness" are used by aircrew to describe the same feelings, a questionnaire has been developed for subjective level assessment of fatigue and sleepiness among Moroccan aircrew. A 4-month prospective study including all aircrew (civilian, military) and air traffic controllers was conducted at the Aero-medical center of Rabat during their review visit. The questionnaire included the Pichot scale for fatigue and Epworth scale for sleepiness. It was filled anonymously. Out of more than 400 cards distributed, only 200 were exploitable. 23% of the subjects in the study had moderate fatigue. 6.5% of the sample presented moderate sleepiness and 4.5% had excessive daytime sleepiness. These two states seem to be preponderant in young aircrew population especially cabin crews. The occurrence of fatigue and daytime sleepiness in aircrew especially at the beginning of their career can be explained by the difficulty of adapting to aeronautical constraints. It is important to remember the countermeasures of fatigue to preserve aviation safety

Blood transfusion is a routine, life-saving medical intervention which is generally regarded as safe when done appropriately, but it is not absolutely free from adverse reaction. The aim of the study was to analyze the Adverse Transfusion Reaction (ATRs) as a part of Haemovigilance Programme of India at VIMSAR, Burla. This study was prospective and observational. All blood transfusions and adverse reaction which occurred due to transfusion at V S S Institute of Medical Science and Research (VIMSAR), Burla, between June 2018 and November 2018 were studied. The reactions were reported in a pre-designed transfusion reaction (TR) reporting form for blood and blood products as per the Haemovigilance software, PvPI. ATRs were also analyzed with respect to types of blood products. Total blood components issued by our blood bank to various departments and total ATRs during the study period were 13145 and 121 respectively. Majority of the reactions occurred with whole blood (0.71%), followed by packed red cells (0.17%). The most common ATR observed was allergy (80.16%) followed by febrile Non hemolytic TR (19.83%). Most of the ATRs were acute reactions. The study emphasizes the different reaction accompanied with blood transfusion, and how it can be minimised by proper laboratory technique so that quality and safety of transfusion therapy can be improvised.

Complicated UTIs (cUTIs) are one of the leading causes of the gram negative bacteraemia which occur in patients who have a functionally, metabolically, or anatomically abnormal urinary tract. The primary objective of this study was to compare efficacy of Piperacillin/Tazobactam (PT) and Cefoperazone/Sulbactam (CPS) combinations in complicated Urinary Tract Infections. At entry, total 92 patients admitted in the hospital due to cUTI were enrolled. Among of 92 patients, 49 patients were given PT while 43 patients were given CPS combinations. Clinical symptoms were registered and scored as mild (1) moderate (2) or severe (3). The follow-up were done daily till the patient is discharged. Thereafter, one follow up visit was done within 4 to 9 days of after discharge, termed as test of cure (TOC). Furthermore, one late follow up visit after 6 to 8 weeks was done, known as late follow up visit (LFU). Clinical assessments and microbiological analysis were done at the time of TOC and LFU. The mean baseline clinical score for PT and CPS were 10.89 ± 2.23 and 10.28 ± 2.33, respectively. At TOC visit, PT and CPS groups, clinical scores were 0.86 + 2.35 and 1.36 ± 3.48, respectively; suggesting significant improvement from baseline (p< 0.001). Rate of clinical improvement at TOC visit was 92.68% and 87.50%, while microbiological cure rate was 87.80% and 93.75% with PT and CPS groups respectively. While, at LFU visit, clinical scores in PT and CPS groups were 1.32 + 3.37 and 1.65 + 3.56, respectively, suggesting significant improvement from baseline (p < 0.001). Clinical cure rate at LFU visit was 87.80% and 87.75% while microbiological cure rate at LFU visit was 82.92 and 77.00% in PT and CPS groups, respectively. These results suggest that both regimens have no significant difference for the treatment of cUTI. PT and CPS, both the combinations, are equally efficacious in treatment of cUTI.

The purpose of this study is to find out how the perception of price, process and quality of Product influences purchasing decisions with a case study of sharia KPR financing products in PT Bank Permata Syariah Business Unit. There was significant gap between target and sharia KPR finance realization achievement until August 2018 because the target was not achieved. In addition, the ranking of Bank Permata Syariah which is still far below shows that the contribution of KPR financing is not yet high. This is caused by many factors including the price / margin factor offered to customers who are still less competitive, the financing process and product quality that still need to be improved. The design of this research is explanatory. The samples taken in this study were the customers of Bank Permata Syariah in the South Tangerang Region who already had Sharia KPR financing and filled out questionnaires. They were taken by using the accidental sampling method with some specified criteria. The sampling technique was Purposive Sampling Method on 1504 of total population of customers of Bank Permata Syariah in the South Tangerang Region. By using the Slovin formula, 100 customers was obtained as samples. Analysis method of this research was qualitative method with Multiple Linear Regression as analysis tool, and helped by SPSS version 23.0. Before the analysis was carried out, the questionnaire instrument test was carried out with validity and reliability tests and classic assumptions. After that, it was analyzed by Multiple Linear Regression followed by a test of determination analysis (RSquare), partial hypothesis testing (t test) and simultaneous (F test) with a 5% error tolerance level. The results showed that there was an influence of price perceptions on purchasing decisions partially, the process of purchasing decisions partially, product quality on purchasing decisions partially and perceptions of price, process and product quality simultaneously influenced purchasing decisions for Sharia KPR financing products at Bank Permata Syariah

The aim of the study was to study effectiveness of inhalation sevoflurane with the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in children undergoing surgeries below umbilicus. Thirty premedicated children 3-12 years old with the American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status of I to II were enrolled and received induction with sevoflurane 7% by face mask and maintained with 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide mixture followed by 1.7% sevoflurane with LMA. Demographic data, induction time, number of attempts, LMA insertion, removal and recovery times, haemodynamic parameters, complications, Aldrete score and child’s behaviour score were recorded. LMA insertion was successful at the first attempt in 93% with sevoflurane. LMA insertion, removal and recovery times were (1.26±0.36, 2.76±0.51, 5.16±1.6 minutes respectively). Perioperative minor complications were there. Recovery milestones including Aldrete score in the group was (9.03) t 5 minutes and comparable at 15 and 30 minutes. There was a greater incidence of excitatory phenomena with sevoflurane. Haemodynamics were studied. Sevoflurane provided short LMA insertion, removal and recovery times in children undergoing minor surgeries below umbilicus with little perioperative complications. Agitation was seen with sevoflurane.

This study evaluated the tendency for Cocos nucifera juice to be effective in management of hepatic and renal anomalies in a human design. 180 male subjects were used for this study. With treatment A as the control, Cocos nucifera juice was administered in 3 doses; B, C, D-50ml, 100ml and 150ml respectively. The experimental period lasted for 42 days. The biochemical assay protocols were aimed at investigating changes relating to hepatorenal function. Biomarkers assayed for include aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase and alkaline phosphatase for liver function biomarkers, creatinine, cystacin-3 and interleukin-18 for kidney function biomarkers. There was a dose dependent change in both liver and kidney function biomarkers. This study revealed an inverse relationship between Cocos nucifera juice ingestion and the serum level of these metabolic biomarkers. There was also a time dependent reduction as well as a progressive decrease in harmonic mean of the assayed biomarkers for all dose treatments. Cocos nucifera has the potential to be applied in the management of hepatic and renal dysfunction.
