Of 50 infants with persistent signs of biliary obstruction, not atresia, seen in the past 7 years, 16 had preceding hemolytic disease from ABO or Rh-incompatibility and 3 had acquired hemolytic anemia. One infant had probable serum hepatitis and 30 others had hepatitis of unknown etiology. All had a patent external biliary tract. Clinically these patients had jaundice, light stools and dark urine. All appeared in a good state of nutrition except those with hepatitis of unknown cause. The results of laboratory studies have been similar in these patients and have included a high direct serum bilirubin, usually negative cephalin flocculation, frequently elevated zinc sulfate turbidity and low cholesterol esters. The urine urobilin may be absent or increased in amount. Histologic studies of liver have shown the presence of multinucleated giant liver cells, much myelopoiesis and erythropoiesis, plugging of bile canaliculi and mild bile duct proliferation. Large amounts of yellow pigment have been found within the liver cells but this pigment has not taken the usual iron stains. Livers from patients with hepatitis of unknown etiology have shown more evidence of inflammation, cell necrosis and portal fibrosis than the others. Pertinent laboratory studies to help differentiate these cases from biliary atresia have included determinations of serum bilirubin, zinc sulfate turbidity, cholesterol and cholesterol esters and urine urobilin. Studies of maternal and infant blood factors and search for evidence of agglutination and increased production of erythrocytes are also important. Tests not found to be useful in differentiation are cholesterol esterase, alkaline phosphatase and prothrombin time. If diagnosis is impossible from clinical and laboratory information, exploration of the biliary tract with liver biopsy and diodrast cholangiography may be necessary. This procedure should be delayed until an adequate period of observation has elapsed and until the infant is over 4 months of age. Such a delay may result in spontaneous clearing of the jaundice with complete recovery.

Evidence Based Dentistry

Introduction: Our current era is the age of information exploration and innovation that has given us a good opportunity to use evidence-based information, so this study aimed to evaluate the use of Evidence-Based Dentistry in Isfahan Dental School in 2018. Materials & Methods: The sampling method of this study was census and, the number of faculty assistants was 50. The method of collecting this information was through a questionnaire Regarding fulfillment of ethical manners in this study, participants were not required to mention their names and personal characteristics, and only if they consented participate in the study, a questionnaire was provided to them. Man withny analysis and Spear man correlation were used to evaluate the relation between EBD (Evidence Based Dentistry) according to their gender. Results: In the current evaluation, it was observed that 19 dentists (36.5%) were female and 33 (63.5%) were male. Most residents (63.5%) sometimes use evidence-based dentistry, 11 cases (21.2%) rarely and 8 cases (15.3%) using this technique always. About the frequency distribution of resources used by residents to answer questions in dealing with patients, the highest frequency (65.4%) was related to “textbooks or questions from clinical teachers” as well as “translated reference books” and the least Frequency (13.5%) was related to “Search other databases”. Conclusion: Based on the findings in this section, the use of evidence-based medicine among residents is low.

Product Realization

A flexible information model for systematic development and deployment of product families during all phases of the product realization process is crucial for product-oriented organizations. In this paper we propose a unified information model to capture, share, and organize product design contents, concepts, and contexts across different phases of the product realization process using a web ontology language (OWL) representation. Representing product families by preconceived common ontologies shows promise in promoting component sharing while facilitating search and exploration of design information over various phases and spanning multiple products in a family. Three distinct types of design information, namely, (1) customer needs, (2) product functions, and (3) product components captured during different phases of the product realization process, are considered in this paper to demonstrate the proposed information model. Product vector and function component mapping matrices along with the common ontologies are utilized for designer-initiated information exploration and aggregation. As a demonstration, six products from a family of power tools are represented in OWL DL (Description Logic) format, capturing distinct information needed during the various phases of product realization.

Australia is a multilingual multicultural country with an impressive record of educational provision for students from language other than English (LOTE) backgrounds. The recent widespread development of common standards and benchmarks in English language and literacy in schools can be seen as a valuable component of this provision. However, care needs to be taken to avoid projecting a false picture of linguistic homogeneity by ignoring variation between English-speaking background (ESB) and English as a Second Language (ESL) learner groups. This paper demonstrates how the recent introduction of national Literacy Benchmarks, unlike the earlier development of curriculum and standards frameworks, has dis-counted ESL achievement by failing to take sufficient account of learner variation. Problems have also occurred in balancing the conflicting motivations for benchmarking: assessment, accountability and education, which result in different “standards” for standard-setting being assumed by the various stakeholders. The paper concludes that real accountability and progress in ESL learning and teaching can only be shown effectively through the use of a complementary but distinctive set of standards or benchmarks for ESL learners at different stages of schooling.
