Analysis of conference abstract-to-publication rate in UK orthopaedic research

Presentation of research at orthopaedic conferences is an important component for surgical evidence-based practice. However, there remains uncertainty as to how many conference abstracts proceed to achieve full-text publication for wider dissemination. This study aimed to determine the abstract-to-publication rate (APR) of research presented in the largest hip and knee orthopaedic meetings in the UK, and to identify predictive factors which influence the APR.All published abstracts (N=744) from the 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 British Hip Society (BHS) and the 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2011 British Association for Surgery of the Knee (BASK) annual conference meetings were examined by four researchers independently. To determine whether abstracts had been published in full-text form, Google Scholar, Medline and EMBASE evidence databases were used to verify full-text publication (FTP) status. Variables including: sample size, statistical significance, grade of the first author, research affiliated institution and research design were extracted and analysed to identify whether these were associated with FTP.176 out of 744 abstracts achieved FTP status (APR: 23.7%). Factors associated with FTP status included statistically significant results (p0.05).APR of the assessed BHS and BASK annual conference presentations are low in comparison to other scientific meetings. Encouragement should be provided to clinicians and academics to submit their work for publication to address this short-fall, thereby enhancing the potential for full-text research publications to inform evidence-based orthopaedics

Opinion, Reason, Explanation and Opinion (OREO) as an Innovation to Improve Learners Writing Skills Among Grade Four Learners

Expressing a reaction through writing is difficult especially in primary grades. The elementary level needs to improve their writing skills to be able to express their viewpoint towards the story. The objective of this study is to improve the learner’s writing a reaction from story read. This research aims to find out how the implementation of the OREO method solve the problem in writing of the learners. The respondents of the study were purposively selected which composed of thirty (30) students in Bagong Buhay H Elementary School in the Schools Division of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. Moreover, having conducted the pretest and posttest, the researcher found out that students were able to write a reaction from the story they've read. Furthermore, the study revealed that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the students in the using the OREO method as graphic organizer to write their opinion. In addition, the grade four learners’ level of writing skills in terms of: focus, content, viewpoint, organization, style, and convention have a progress after implementing the metho

Anestesia mixta versus anestesia general balanceada en nefrectomía abdominal electiva.hospital Antonio Lenin Fonseca Septiembre 2016-Enero 2017.

Se realizó un estudio experimental tipo ensayo clínico con el propósito de comparar dos técnicas anestésicas anestesia mixta vrs anestesia general balanceada en pacientes sometidos a nefrectomía abdominal electiva en el hospital Antonio Lenin Fonseca Martínez periodo septiembre 2016-enreo 2017. Muestra representada por 20 pacientes divididos en grupo A 10 pacientes para anestesia mixta (bloqueo peridural mas anestesia general orotraqueal balanceada), grupo B 10 pacientes para anestesia general orotraqueal balanceada, Obteniendo un predominio del sexo femenino, pacientes asa II, según el IMC prevalecieron pacientes normopeso. Se valoró la frecuencia cardiaca y presión arterial media en ambos grupos, donde los mayores cambios fueron a la pos inducción y cambio de posición durante el actoanestesicoquirurgico sin diferencia estadística significativa. En cuanto a poslaringoscopia y pos incisión quirúrgica manifestaron cambios (aumento de la FC y PAM, grupo B en relación al grupo A) con diferencia estadística significativa. La complicación más frecuente fue la hipotensión leve sobre todo al cambio de posición en ambos grupos. La analgesia posquirúrgica fue mejor en pacientes del grupo A. concluimos que la anestesia mixta en una técnica que deberíamos utilizar en pacientes sometidos a nefrectomía abdominal

La participación de las ONG en el sistema interamericano - (OEA)-

NGOs are the bridge for society and other institutions to go to the Inter-American System of Human Rights; thanks to the consultative status, recognizes their participation officially. Once the internal resources of each state for the solution and repairs with respect to the violation of Human Rights are all used, the NGOs are able to resort to the system of the O.A.S. That is why it is relevant in the participation both in the Inter-American System and within each country in order to establish a strong state where human rights are valued and respected, where litigations in terms of violations reach an ideal situation and adapt themselves to conditions of solution, protection and defense of Human Rights. The most outstanding mechanisms that Colombia has used in the subject are: the action for reconsideration, habeas corpus and amicus curiae.Las ONG son el puente para que la sociedad civil y otras instituciones acudan al Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos; gracias al status consultivo, se reconoce oficialmente su participación. Agotados los recursos internos de cada Estado para la solución y reparación ante la violación de los DH, podrán las ONG recurrir al sistema de la OEA. De ahí su importancia en la participación tanto en el Sistema Interamericano como al interior de los países para que establezcan un sólido Estado de derecho, donde los litigios en materia de violaciones lleguen a su mejor solución y se adapten a las condiciones de protección y defensa de los DH. Los mecanismos más destacados que Colombia ha empleado en el tema son: la acción de revisión, habeas corpus y el amicus curiae
