Evidence-based management of tubal disease and infertility
No full textThere is a multitude of tests available for the investigation of tubal disease. This review gives an overview of the use of hysterosalpingography (HSG), the laparoscopy and dye test, hystero-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy), falloposcopy and fertiloscopy in the evaluation of the fallopian tubes. The current sensible approach would be to offer HSG for women with a low risk of tubal disease as HSG is a valid and accurate test used to diagnose tubal patency in subfertile couples. In women with suspected underlying gynaecological pathology such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease, and/or in the presence of tubal blockage on HSG, one should proceed with the laparoscopy and dye test to confirm or refute the diagnosis. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence also recommends the use of HyCoSy where the service is available as this is as effective as HSG in diagnosing tubal disease in low-risk women.</p
Labour outcome of women with successful external cephalic version - a prospective study
No full textLabour outcome for women following successful external cephalic version (ECV) was evaluated in a prospective case control study. ECV was successfully performed on 93 women in a dedicated ECV clinic at St Mary's Hospital, Portsmouth between 2004 and 2006. In the study group, 50% (n = 93) of women had a successful ECV. There were 103 women in the control group. There was no significant difference in the rate of instrumental deliveries between the study and the control groups. The rate for caesarean section was higher in the ECV group (18.2, n = 93) compared with the control group (7.7, n = 103; p < 0.028). When compared with the control group, the study group had a higher epidural rate (p < 0.016), oxytocin augmentation (p < 0.001), induction of labour rate (p < 0.009), electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) (p < 0.0001), abnormal fetal heart rate (p < 0.014) and birth in main unit (p < 0.001). Our data provide useful guidance to women undergoing ECV.PMID: 20121496 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]<br/

Assessing User Attitudes Toward Mobile Commerce In The U.S. Vs. Korea: Implications For M-Commerce CRM
No full textMobile Commerce (m-commerce) relies on “customer or user interactions” via a mobile device and telecommunications infrastructure for the purpose of interacting, advertising, promoting, and selling products and services. The author of this study explored user attitudes and behavior toward m-commerce in the U.S. vs. Korea. In this paper, the author investigated comparison analysis for the U.S. vs. Korea for the following issues: 1) the factors affecting user attitudes toward mobile phone business; 2) how those factors affect perceived ease of use (EOU) and usefulness (U); 3) the effects of perceived ease of use (EOU) and usefulness (U) on overall attitudes toward the mobile phone business; and 4) how overall attitudes toward mobile phone business affect user/customer satisfaction. Surveys were conducted in two countries and the results reveal the different aspects affecting mobile phone usage in the U.S. vs. Korea. This study also found that user attitudes toward the mobile phone business significantly impact the level of m-satisfaction. Furthermore, this study provides managerial implications and offers suggestions to m-businesses.1
Separating and shattering long line segments
No full textA line l is called a separator for a set S of objects in the plane if l avoids all the objects and partitions S into two non-empty subsets, lying on both sides of l. A set L of Lines is said to shatter S if each line of L is a separator for S, and every two objects of S are separated by at least one line of L. We give a simple randomized algorithm to construct the set of ail separators for a given set S of n line segments in expected time O(n log n), provided the ratio between the diameter of S and the length of the shortest line segment is bounded by a constant. We also give a randomized algorithm to determine a set of lines shattering S, whose expected running time is O(n log n), improving (for this setting) the (deterministic) O(n(2) log n) time algorithm of Freimer, Mitchell and Piatko.
