J.V. Foix, traductor de T.S. Eliot (1927)
No full textAquest article vol demostrar que J.V. Foix és l’autor de les traduccions al català, publicades anònimament el 1927, de dos textos crítics de T.S. Eliot i de la tercera secció de The Waste Land. Les fonts són: «Note sur Mallarmé et Poe» (1926) i, en versió de Jean de Menasce, «Deux attitudes mystiques: Dante et Donne» (1927) i La Terre mise à nu (1926). L’interès d’Eliot i Foixper Guido Cavalcanti és remarcable, i tal vegada remet a Rémy de Gourmont

Incidence and cost of perioperative red blood cell transfusion for elective spine fusion in a high-volume center for spine surgery
No full textBackground: Spine fusion is a surgical procedure characterized by a significant perioperative bleeding, which often requires red blood cell (RBC) transfusion.
Methods: The incidence and the cost of RBC transfusion were evaluated in all patients undergoing elective surgery for spine fusion in our Institution, a high-volume center for spine surgery, over a period of 3 years. The analysis specifically addressed the RBC transfusion need in all the different spine fusion procedures (atlanto-axial, cervical, dorsal, lumbar, revisions) with the different surgical approaches (anterior, posterior).
Results: During the 3 years of observation, a total of 1.882 elective spine fusions were performed. More than half of the procedures (n = 964) were posterior lumbar fusions. Overall, 5% of the patients (n = 103) required RBC transfusion. The cervical fusions were the procedures with the lowest percentage of RBC need (0-5%), while the dorsal and the lumbar ones, with the anterior approach, represented the procedures with the highest rate of transfusion (29% and 25% respectively). More than 60 % of the RBC units were employed in the instance of posterior lumbar fusion, while a variable 1-10% of the units was used in each of the other procedures. The overall transfusion cost was of 46.000 euros, with a distribution of costs that paralleled the amount of units transfused for each procedure.
Conclusions: Several surgical and patient factors may contribute to the perioperative blood loss. An accurate patient blood management, may efficiently decrease transfusion requirements and ultimately healthcare costs

Red Blood Cell Transfusion Need for Elective Primary Posterior Lumbar Fusion in A High-Volume Center for Spine Surgery
No full text(1) Background: This study evaluated the perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion need and determined predictors for transfusion in patients undergoing elective primary lumbar posterior spine fusion in a high-volume center for spine surgery. (2) Methods: Data from all patients undergoing spine surgery between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2016 were reviewed. Patients' demographics and comorbidities, perioperative laboratory results, and operative time were analyzed in relation to RBC transfusion. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of transfusion. (3) Results: A total of 874 elective surgeries for primary spine fusion were performed over the three years. Only 54 cases (6%) required RBC transfusion. Compared to the non-transfused patients, transfused patients were mainly female (p = 0.0008), significantly older, with a higher ASA grade (p = 0.0002), and with lower pre-surgery hemoglobin (HB) level and hematocrit (p < 0.0001). In the multivariate logistic regression, a lower pre-surgery HB (OR (95% CI) 2.84 (2.11-3.82)), a higher ASA class (1.77 (1.03-3.05)) and a longer operative time (1.02 (1.01-1.02)) were independently associated with RBC transfusion. (4) Conclusions: In the instance of elective surgery for primary posterior lumbar fusion in a high-volume center for spine surgery, the need for RBC transfusion is low. Factors anticipating transfusion should be taken into consideration in the patient's pre-surgery preparation
ServBGP: BGP-inspired autonomic service routing for multi-provider collaborative architectures in the cloud
No full textIn this paper we propose the design and implementation of ServBGP, a service routing protocol for managing service collaboration among cloud providers in cloud computing. ServBGP is based on the policy-driven design of the well-known BGP Internet routing protocol to support the different service interaction models currently employed in the cloud particularly the monolithic, composite, and broker-based service models. The main contribution of this work lies in devising a system that autonomously manages the different aspects of service interaction and collaboration among service providers from service discovery and advertisement to service consumption and revocation. The ServBGP routing decision engine is designed to operate by (1) processing cost-bidding service advertisement and revocation messages from the different cloud providers and (2) extracting objective and trustworthy feedback which is maintained by certified network entities and which consists of a set of reputation scores related to quality of service, security, and pricing. The BGP-inspired design choice allows the proposed system to stand upon the shoulders of giants by relying on a time-tested protocol that currently supports scalable inter-domain routing services among over 120,000 IPv4 prefixes in the Internet. Moreover, reusing the decision logic of the standard BGP protocol aids in reducing the development and operational costs, hence shortening the time to market, and utilizing a large set of BGP extensions, particularly, in the security domain, that have been incorporated into BGP since its inception in 1989. These qualities are of a chief importance in the cloud community today to ensure the efficient and secure service collaboration among cloud providers and to support the evolution, scalability, and economic feasibility of the overall cloud computing infrastructure. A proof of concept implementation of the ServBGP design is realized on the NetKit network emulation and virtualization platform using the standard BGPv4 protocol. Moreover, the devised ServBGP design is developed from the ground up and deployed in a real cloud computing environment using Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google App Engine cloud platforms.[Anonymous], 2011, PROOF NOT PROMISES C; Bell M., 2010, SOA MODELING PATTERN, V390; Bernstein D., 2010, 2 INT C CLOUD COMP C; Bernstein D, 2009, 2009 FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTERNET AND WEB APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES, P328, DOI 10.1109-ICIW.2009.55; Bernstein DS, 2009, IEEE CONTR SYST MAG, V29, P6, DOI 10.1109-MCS.2009.934590; Deora V, 2004, LECT NOTES COMPUT SC, V3307, P252; El Haddad J, 2010, IEEE T SERV COMPUT, V3, P73, DOI 10.1109-TSC.2010.5; Gao ZD, 2005, INT CONF E BUS ENG, P611; Griffen T., 2001, P 9 C NETW PROT; Grigori D, 2010, IEEE T SERV COMPUT, V3, P178, DOI 10.1109-TSC.2010.6; Itani W., 2012, P ACM 27 S APPL COMP; Itani W., 2011, P 1 INT C CLOUD COMP; Itani W., 2012, IEEE T INFORM UNPUB; Josang A, 2007, DECIS SUPPORT SYST, V43, P618, DOI 10.1016-j.dss.2005.05.019; Li WJ, 2009, LECT NOTES COMPUT SC, V5931, P69; Lim S., 2010, SPRINGER AGENT BASED, P189; MEI LJ, 2008, AS PAC SERV COMP C 2, P464; Menasce D., 2004, IEEE INTERNET COMPUT, V6, P88; Menasce Daniel A., 2008, WORKSH SOFTW PERF WO, P13; Parameswaran A.V., 2009, CLOUD COMPUTING INFO, V7; Ran Shuping, 2003, J SIGECOM EXCHANGES, V4, P1; Rekhter Y., 2006, 4271 IETF RFC; Srivastava A, 2011, IEEE T PATTERN ANAL, V33, P1415, DOI 10.1109-TPAMI.2010.184; Tserpes K, 2010, LECT NOTES COMPUT SC, V6296, P16, DOI 10.1007-978-3-642-15681-6_2; Villamizar C., 1999, TECHNICAL REPORT; Yan J, 2007, FUTURE GENER COMP SY, V23, P748, DOI 10.1016-j.future.2007.02.004; Zeng LZ, 2004, IEEE T SOFTWARE ENG, V30, P311; Zhang WT, 2007, P INT COMP SOFTW APP, P42511
