Use Of Resources

Abstract. This paper analyses the management of Hospital General in Cd. Victoria, Tamaulipas, México, a decentralized public institute from the State Government that started operations on 1985. The first services offered to the local population was medical consultation, core medical specialties, emergency services, hospitalization, and intensive care unit. Within the hospital activities, both administrative and medical the management continuously looked for best practices that allowed it to reach its goals and fulfill its mission. Current literature provides a diversity of strategic tools and models that create value to public health processes making a more efficient use of resources. With this context, this research takes an exploratory case study approach using semi-structured interviews having as key informants the hospital managers since its foundation, allowing explanations on the evolution of the implemented management practices. This paper infers the need to incorporate actions that contribute to a comprehensive and structured professional management.Key words: hospital, integral control panel, strategic management

This article is a case review of an older lady presenting with Tardive Dyskinesia, a rare phenomenon in modern times. This case is interesting, as the typical causative factor of this presentation was absent. The authors discuss the risk factors for developing Tardive Dyskinesia, as well as medication likely contributing to this lady's case. The paper also discusses treatment, prognosis and how the mechanism of Tardive Dyskinesia can be multifactorial. The authors hope this case review will provide an update to prescribers both within the mental health field and in other medical specialties, as Tardive Dyskinesia is seen less often in practice.

Synthetic Models

Neurosurgery is one of the medical specialties in which the practical training of students is more limiting since it requires a high degree of preparation for the interventions to be satisfactory. That is why the manufacture of synthetic models through additive manufacturing (AM) arises to develop the skills that the neurosurgeon requires. The present work is aimed at validating the use of AM for the neurosurgery training. To this regard, a meningioma case study was considered, and suitable materials and more appropriate AM technology were identified for a low-cost production of synthetic models of both skulls and brains with tumors. The skull was manufactured by material extrusion AM with two materials, a commercial composite filament composed of polylactic acid (PLA) with calcium carbonate (used in the area to be treated during the cutting process, due to its mechanical properties more comparable to those of the native bone, with 30% infill density) and standard PLA without additives (used in the rest of the model, with 20% infill density). On the other hand, different casting silicones in different proportions were tested under compression molding to find the best combination to mimic the brain and tumor. Ten synthetic models of a real-case meningioma were manufactured and used as training material by students in the neurosurgery sector, who rated the proposed training approach very highly, considering the employment of printed models as a key resource for improving their surgical skills.

Prompt Diagnosis

Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a rare and life-threatening disease associated with a defect in fatty acid metabolism in the fetus that causes liver disease in the mother. Prompt diagnosis and management are critical to the outcome of both the mother and the fetus and require involvement of several medical specialties, including hepatology, obstetrics, and, possibly, critical care. The included case study describes a woman with acute fatty liver of pregnancy decompensating to acute liver failure complicated by encephalopathy, cerebral edema, and intracranial hypertension. Subsequent management of these conditions, including the woman’s progression to liver transplant, is provided.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
