    Background: Colostomy is a very common procedure in pediatric pts. It has a lot of indications and complications.Objectives: 1) To observe the frequency of indications complications of colostomies between patients done in Al- Ribat university hospital and other patients done in other hospitals who presented there for definitive procedure. 2) To determine the final outcome of colostomy in pediatric patients. Materials and Methods: Observational prospective study, performed in patients presented to Al Ribat university hospital including patients admitted for colostomy or for final treatment in the period between December 2013 and December 2014.The stoma related complications were tested using Chi-square. The level of significance was taken as p<0.05. Results: There were 50 patients with the peak age group of 4 years (range: 10 days to 8 years). The male percentage was 70% and female 30%. The indications of colostomy were HSD 29 (58 %,) anorectal malformations 19 (38%), rectal injury 1 (2%) and anal malignancy 1 (2%).Complications occurred in 24 patients (48%) of the studied sample. The commonest complication was prolapse 7(29, 2%) followed by stenosis 5(20.8%). Complications were higher in patients operated as an elective cases in compare to emergency operations (51.8% vs. 43,5), and patients operated by registrars in comparison to other surgical operating levels, and in transverse colostomy in comparison to sigmoid colostomy(57,1% vs 46,5%), and in loop colostomy in comparison to divided colostomy ( 51,2% vs 33,3%), but all these results were statistically not significant. One mortality case was reported during this study (2%).Conclusion: Colostomy being a common procedure in pediatrics with high rates of serious complications deserves special attention for a better outcome.Key words: colostomy, complications, Hirschsprungs disease, anorectal malformation

    Based on the Medium Term Development Plan of North Tapanuli Regency Year 2014-2019, established Vision makes North Tapanuli as a tourist destination, one of which is the development of tourist areas Muara. In its development until 2015, several programs and activities in realizing the North Tapanuli as a tourist destination especially Muara travel area development can not be realized with the maximum. The purpose of this study to determine the strategy of local governments in the development of the tourist area of Muara 2015 and the factors that affect the implementation of tourism development Muara 2015. The research was qualitative descriptive research data collection is by interview and documentation, or the document search , The theory used in this research is the theory of government management, strategy theory and the theory of the development of tourism. From the results of the field studies showed that some programs and activities in the development of the tourist area of Muara not running maximum, there's even a program that does not bejalan due to lack of budget or funds obtained by the Department of Tourism and Culture of North Tapanuli. The factors that affect the implementation of tourism development Muara based on theory and management strategies of government, namely: lack of awareness, lack of funds, lack of human resources, and the lack of supporting facilities. The local government should conduct an evaluation of the programs can not be implemented so that the next policy can be more effective

    Effects of dissipation in an adiabatic quantum search algorithm

    Get PDF
    We consider the effect of two different environments on the performance of the quantum adiabatic search algorithm, a thermal bath at finite temperature, and a structured environment similar to the one encountered in systems coupled to the electromagnetic field that exists within a photonic crystal. While for all the parameter regimes explored here, the algorithm performance is worsened by the contact with a thermal environment, the picture appears to be different when considering a structured environment. In this case we show that, by tuning the environment parameters to certain regimes, the algorithm performance can actually be improved with respect to the closed system case. Additionally, the relevance of considering the dissipation rates as complex quantities is discussed in both cases. More particularly, we find that the imaginary part of the rates can not be neglected with the usual argument that it simply amounts to an energy shift, and in fact influences crucially the system dynamics.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figure

    A Deep Cascade of Convolutional Neural Networks for MR Image Reconstruction

    Full text link
    The acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is inherently slow. Inspired by recent advances in deep learning, we propose a framework for reconstructing MR images from undersampled data using a deep cascade of convolutional neural networks to accelerate the data acquisition process. We show that for Cartesian undersampling of 2D cardiac MR images, the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art compressed sensing approaches, such as dictionary learning-based MRI (DLMRI) reconstruction, in terms of reconstruction error, perceptual quality and reconstruction speed for both 3-fold and 6-fold undersampling. Compared to DLMRI, the error produced by the method proposed is approximately twice as small, allowing to preserve anatomical structures more faithfully. Using our method, each image can be reconstructed in 23 ms, which is fast enough to enable real-time applications

    Tensile stress–crack width law for steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete obtained from indirect (splitting) tensile tests

    Get PDF
    In this work, the fracture mode I parameters of steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) were derived from the numerical simulation of indirect splitting tensile tests. The combined experimental and numerical research allowed a comparison between the stress-crack width (σ - w) relationship acquired straightforwardly from direct tensile tests, and the σ - w response derived from inverse analysis of the splitting tensile tests results. For this purpose a comprehensive nonlinear 3D finite element (FE) modeling strategy was developed. A comparison between the experimental results obtained from splitting tensile tests and the corresponding FE simulations confirmed the good accuracy of the proposed strategy to derive the σ – w for these composites. It is concluded that the post-cracking tensile laws obtained from inverse analysis provided a close relationship with the ones obtained from the experimental uniaxial tensile tests.The studies reported in this paper are part of the research project LEGOUSE (QREN, project nº 5387).

    A two-phase material approach to model steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete in panels

    Get PDF
    This work presents an experimental and numerical approach to ascertain the mechanical behaviour of steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete in laminar structures. Four-point flexural tests were performed on prismatic specimens extracted from a SFRSCC panel; the specimens’ behaviour was then modelled under the FEM framework. SFRSCC is assumed as a two-phase material, i.e. plain concrete and discrete steel fibres. The nonlinear material behaviour of the plain matrix was simulated using 3D smeared crack model, while the fibre reinforcement mechanisms were modelled using micro-mechanical behaviour laws determined from experimental fibre pull-out tests. The good performance of the developed numerical strategy was demonstrated.FEDER funds through the Operational Program for Competitiveness Factors - COMPETE and National Funds through FCT - Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology under the project SlabSys-HFRC-PTDC/ECM/120394/201

    Get PDF
    In the present work are described and discussed the results of an extensive experimental program that aims to study the long-term behaviour of cracked steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete, SFRSCC, applied in laminar structures. In a first stage, the influence of the initial crack opening level (wcr = 0.3 and 0.5 mm), applied stress level, fibre orientation/dispersion and distance from the casting point, on the flexural creep behaviour of SFRSCC was investigated. Moreover, in order to evaluate the effects of the creep phenomenon on the residual flexural strength, a series of monotonic tests were also executed. It was found that wcr = 0.5 mm series showed a higher creep coefficient comparing to the series with a lower initial crack opening. Furthermore, the creep performance of the SFRSCC was influenced by the orientation of the extracted prismatic specimens regarding the direction of the concrete flow within the cast panel.This work is supported by the FEDER funds through the Operational Program for Competitiveness Factors - COMPETE and National Funds through FCT - Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology under the project SlabSys-HFRC-PTDC/ECM/120394/2010.
