Comparison of Pain in the Kocher and Midline Incisions in Patients with Post Cholecystectomy
No full textBackground: Incision techniques that are often used in cholecystectomy laparotomy are the Kocher incision and midline incision. This study was carried out to compare the pain in the Kocher's incision and midline incision in patients with postoperative cholecystectomy laparotomy.Subjects and Method: : This study was an observational randomized controlled trial double sampling study conducted at the Department of Surgery Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta in October 2018 to February 2019. The sample of this study was 30 patients aged 18-65 years old who were diagnosed with symptomatic cholelithiasis based on clinical, laboratory, and radiological tests. The samples were selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable of this study was the pain. The independent variables were the Kocher and midline incision techniques. The pain was measured on a 24-hour postoperative VAS scale, range 1-10. Data were analyzed by t-test.Results: There was no significant difference in pain level between the Kocher group (Mean= 2.33; SD=0.72) and the midline group (Mean= 2.20; SD=0.97) with p=0.192.Conclusion: There is no difference in pain level due to the Kocher incision technique and the midline incision technique.Keywords: pain, incision, kocher, midline, cholecystectomyCorrespondence: R.

Coding a Contour Graph with No Address Assignments
No full textThis work addresses the topic of coding all the contour nodes of a picture in a single code word. The set of contour nodes can be represented as a subgraph of the lattice graph. Accordingly, we demonstrate first that any set of connected contour points can be represented uniquely by a code that requires at most one absolute coordinate assignment and at most k-1 bits per contour points, where k is the highest degree of any contour node. then by the device of a relative directional assignment, we exhibit a nesting sequence of code; for arbitrary 4-connected sets, for 4-connected sets with all nodes on closed paths, and for sets further restricted so that any area bounded by contour points contains at least one non-contour (texture) lattice point. In the ifrst two cases we show that the average number of bits per contour point or per code letter is by bounded by 2.27... and 2 respectively. In the most constrained contour graph, which encloses at least one texture point in any path, a code modification leads to increase in the bound to about 2.08 bits per code letter but permits an estimate of 1.36 bits per contour point. These results are further confirmed by experimental simulations

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
