Daily Serum Collection after Acellular Dermal Matrix-Assisted Breast Reconstruction
Glenda Giorgia Caputo,Zeno Franchini,Monia Maritan,Edoardo Dalla Pozza,Enrico Vigato,Umberto Tedeschi,Maurizio Governa 대한성형외과학회 2015 Archives of Plastic Surgery Vol.42 No.3
Background The acellular dermal matrix (ADM)-assisted breast reconstruction technique is widely known, but discouraging results due to early postoperative complications have been reported. As the literature identifies seroma as the most common issue after breast surgery without identifying its pathogenesis, we aimed to report the trend of postoperative daily serum collection after ADM-assisted breast reconstruction and compare it with data in the literature in order to discover more about this little-known topic. Methods A retrospective study on 28 consecutive patients who received ADM-assisted breast reconstruction between February 2013 and February 2014 was performed. In order to reduce the number of variables that could affect serum production, only one brand of ADM was used and all tissues were handled gently and precisely. The daily drainage volume was recorded per patient during the first four days of hospitalization. Likewise, postoperative complications were noted during routine follow-up. Results In total, five (17.9%) bilateral and 23 (82.1%) unilateral ADM-assisted breast reconstructions (33 implants) were performed. The mean age, body mass index, and length of hospital stay were 53.6 years, 21.3 kg/m2, and 4.5 days, respectively. One major complication led to implant loss (3.0%), and nine minor complications were successfully treated with ambulatory surgery (27.3%). Serum collection linearly decreased after 24 hours postoperatively. Conclusions Daily drainage decreased following the theoretical decline of acute inflammation. In concordance with the literature, daily serum production may not be related to the use of ADM.
Modeling of potential renewable energy in Papua New Guinea: Biomass and solar energy
Glenda Yatu,Sailesh Samanta 대한공간정보학회 2022 Spatial Information Research Vol.30 No.3
Papua New Guinea is a unique country with diverse resources and renewable energy resources are no exception. Solar and biomass resources have been presented in this article because of their huge availability in Papua New Guinea. With the engagement of remote sensing and geographic information system technology, potentially suitable areas were identified and mapped for biomass and the availability of solar radiation. Multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) approaches was used to identify the suitable areas for effective growth of Eucalyptus pellita for biomass-based on different input parameters, namely altitude, slope, soil pH, soil fertility, soil texture, soil drainage, total annual rainfall and annual mean temperature. Modeling of incoming solar insolation was performed to generate daily and monthly solar radiation databases. The major input parameters for the solar radiation modeling were high-resolution topographic data, solar constant and atmospheric clearness index. The demarcation of potential biomass potential areas was identified through suitability ranking and weighing of the selected parameters using the spatial analyst weighted sum tool in ArcGIS. The findings on the final biomass suitability map show land characteristics that favour the growth of Eucalyptus pellita to be on weakly acid to neutral well-drained soils. The daily highest total incoming solar radiation was calculated for December solstice (6.12 Kw/m2/day) and the highest average monthly for September (6.29 Kw/m2/day). This type of resulting output would contribute to helping eliminate energy problems and achieve PNG’s visions and strategic plans for current and future sustainable development.
Balancing Work and Life:Whose Work? Whose Life? Whose Balance?
Glenda S. Roberts 경남대학교 극동문제연구소 2005 ASIAN PERSPECTIVE Vol.29 No.1
As the developed countries increasingly see women’s participation in the labor force rise, a common challenge has become how people can balance work responsibilities with the rest of their lives. The crux lies in putting into place and enforcing policy frameworks that acknowledge the legitimacy of finding balance, without sacrificing gender equality. This article discusses the parameters of this problem for Japan: a low birthrate, rapidly aging society with growing numbers of women who seek to maintain careers. Through a study of the working situations of employees at one U.S. multinational corporation in Tokyo, I investigate the ways in which career women approach and negotiate work/life balance. In recent years, while government and corporate policies have changed to foster both balance and gender equality, a cultural work environment that breeds long hours for core white-collar workers, embedded gender roles, an ongoing recession, and a lack of strict enforcement mechanisms for corporate work/life balance initiatives and their legal underpinnings seriously dilute the effectiveness of policy. Balance is precarious at best, and often elusive.
I Care for You, Who Cares for Me? Transitio nal Services of Filipino Live-in Caregivers in Canada
Glenda Lynna Anne Tibe Bonifac 숙명여자대학교 아시아여성연구원 2008 Asian Women Vol.24 No.1
Filipino women dominate the Live-in Caregiver Program in Canada since the 1990s. Although their entry is facilitated by a temporary work visa with stringent conditions under this program, there is an evident desire to move through the next immigration route as landed immigrants. The transition from temporary workers to permanent residents appears crucial especially in the lives of Filipino women who pave the way for the sponsorship, settlement, and integration of their families into Canadian society. Based on fieldwork in southern Alberta, this paper examines the settlement services provided to newcomers in Canada and their significance in the lives of migrant Filipino women caregivers during their transition from temporary to permanent residents. It outlines the sources of support and services utilized by these women in Canada as well as those provided by the Philippine government during this period. As caregivers, Filipino women exercise a fundamental social function to children, the elderly, and the physically challenged constituent members of Canadian society yet the corresponding programs and services responsive to their needs are not fully addressed by the host society. Female Filipino migrant workers mainly sustain the economic fate of its cash-trapped country as the acclaimed “new heroes” with no effective system of securing their rights and welfare overseas.
