A comparison of intraoperative haemostatic techniques during tonsillectomy: Suture vs electrocautery-A study to assess postoperative pain scores and duration to resumption of normal diet
No full textObjectives: To assess postoperative pain and pattern of recovery to normal diet in children who underwent tonsillectomy. Methods: Cold steel tonsillectomy (or adenotonsillectomy) was performed in 61 children. Haemostasis was attained with sutures in Group 1 (n = 30, 8 tonsillectomy and 22 adenotonsillectomy), and electrocautery in Group 2 (n = 31, 6 tonsillectomy and 25 adenotonsillectomy). Information obtained included postoperative pain scores and the number of postoperative days taken to resume normal diet. The pain score was evaluated with the Wong-Baker FACES®Pain Rating Scale (WBFS). Results: Pain values in Group 1 (haemostasis with sutures) were significantly lower than those in Group 2 (haemostasis with cauterisation) from the 6th hour to the 7th postoperative day (P < .05). For both liquid and solid food, Group 1 returned to normal diet earlier, compared to Group 2 (P < .05). When comparing patients undergoing tonsillectomy vs adenotonsillectomy, resumption of normal diet was achieved later in the adenotonsillectomy patients (P < .05). In terms of postoperative bleeding, there were 2 significant events in Group 2 (electrocautery group), occurring on the 1st (severe) and 10th day (slight) in 2 children (6.5%). There were no postoperative bleeding events in Group 1. Conclusion: Our results showed that suture haemostatis causes less pain and faster resumption of normal diet compared to electrocautery. In view of this, we recommend the use of sutures for achieving intraoperative haemostasis in paediatric patients

A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Who Should Bear The Risk? The Party Least Able To Refuse Or The Party Best Able To Manage The Risk?
No full textThe outsourcing of human services by governments to the nonprofit sector has been accompanied by a transfer of legal liability risks. Human service providers are often required to indemnify the government for adverse consequences of service delivery and to acquire contract specified insurances. The civil liability crisis caused by a recent hard insurance market has exacerbated problems for nonprofit organisations in managing the government’s transfer of risk of human service outsourcing.\ud

This paper identifies and examines the risk shifting clauses contained in human service agreements across a range of Queensland government departments. It argues that it is in the interests of all parties of the risk to be allocated to the party best able to mange the risk rather than imposed by the party with the strongest negotiating power. It is argues that the prudent risk managemnt6 on the aport government may be to retain the risks so it can mange them itsel
