Penelitian ini membahas persepsi dari responden yang merupakan masyarakat Jepang dengan ketentuan telah atau pernah tinggal di Indonesia selama lebih dari 1 tahun. Data yang digunakan adalah hasil dari wawancara dan kuisioner. Persepsi yang dijadikan bahan penelitian adalah persepsi sebelum kedatangan responden, setelah kedatangan responden dan perubahan persepsi, kemudian dikelompokan menurut objek yang paling sering dibahas responden, yaitu infrastruktur dan sosial budaya di Indonesia. Peneliti mengklasifikasikan data berdasarkan persepsi positif dan negatif
Optical Imaging Technology In Colonoscopy - Is There A Role For Photometric Stereo
AbstractColonoscopy screening for the detection and removal of colonic adenomas is central to efforts to reduce the morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer. However, up to a third of adenomas may be missed at colonoscopy, and the majority of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancers are thought to arise from these. Adenomas have three-dimensional surface topographic features that differentiate them from adjacent normal mucosa. However, these topographic features are not enhanced by white light colonoscopy, and the endoscopist must infer these from two-dimensional cues. This may contribute to the number of missed lesions. A variety of optical imaging technologies have been developed commercially to enhance surface topography. However, existing techniques enhance surface topography indirectly, and in two dimensions, and the evidence does not wholly support their use in routine clinical practice. In this narrative review, co-authored by gastroenterologists and engineers, we summarise the evidence for the impact of established optical imaging technologies on adenoma detection rate, and review the development of photometric stereo (PS) for colonoscopy. PS is a machine vision technique able to capture a dense array of surface normals to render three-dimensional reconstructions of surface topography. This imaging technique has several potential clinical applications in colonoscopy, including adenoma detection, polyp classification, and facilitating polypectomy, an inherently three-dimensional task. However, the development of PS for colonoscopy is at an early stage. We consider the progress that has been made with PS to date and identify the obstacles that need to be overcome prior to clinical application
Deadly Partners: Interdependence of Alcohol and Trauma in the Clinical Setting
Trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans aged 1 to 45. Over a third of all fatal motor vehicle collisions and nearly eighty percent of completed suicides involve alcohol. Alcohol can be both a cause of traumatic injury as well as a confounding factor in the diagnosis and treatment of the injured patient. Fortunately, brief interventions after alcohol-related traumatic events have been shown to decrease both trauma recidivism and long-term alcohol use. This review will address the epidemiology of alcohol-related trauma, the influence of alcohol on mortality and other outcomes, and the role of prevention in alcohol-related trauma, within the confines of the clinical setting
