This meta-analysis aimed to determine the efficacy of acupuncture on outcomes after elective surgery. Material and Methods: We searched database of PUBMED, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from their inception to Aug. 2019, and selection criteria is randomized controlled trials (RCT). Primary outcome was time to first passage of flatus(d). Secondary outcomes included time to tolerated solid food(d), time to first bowel movement(d), time of first defecation(d), duration of hospital stay(d). Result: We identified 9 studies that recruited 910 participants for inclusion in our review. Compared with other non-pharmacy treatments, acupuncture treatment yielded an improved on mean time to first passage of flatus in postoperative patients (MD=-0.67; 95% CI, [-1.33, -0.01], p= 0.000; I2= 94.7%), a shorten time to tolerated solid food (MD=-0.33; 95% CI, [-0.62, -0.04], p= 0.320; I2`=14.5%), an earlier recovery of bowel movement (MD=-0.43; 95% CI, [-0.74, -0.11], p= 0.004; I2= 73.9%), an improved on mean time of first defecation (MD=-1.33; 95% CI, [-1.90, -0.76], p= 0.000, I2= 83.2%), and reduced hospital stay (MD=-0.43; 95% CI, [-0.68, -0.19], p=0.049, I2=52.6%), Conclusion: This review identified the evidence of acupuncture for postoperative patients in improving recovery of gastrointestinal function. This benefit of acupuncture should be a potential non-pharmacotherapy in the management of postoperative ileus.","PeriodicalId":415155,"journal":{"name":"Research in Medical & Engineering Sciences","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114620997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG), is the second most common form of glaucoma and associated with the closure of the anterior chamber angle. Peripheral anterior synechia (PAS) frequently develop due to an attack of prolonged acute attack or a series subacute attack of angle closure glaucoma. These PAS are usually high and broad and very difficult to find out whether the PAS formed before or during the attack or possibly at both times. Principal management strategy for PACG is about anterior chamber angle by understanding the early stages of appositional angle closure before the PAS. In this review, we describe the current understanding regarding the pathophysiology and treatment of PACG.","PeriodicalId":415155,"journal":{"name":"Research in Medical & Engineering Sciences","volume":"321 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132329350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Lean Thinking from Toyota Manufacturing to the Healthcare Sector","authors":"H. Kelendar","doi":"10.31031/rmes.2020.08.000697","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31031/rmes.2020.08.000697","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: This paper aims to provide a historical overview of how lean thinking has transferred and spread from Toyota manufacturing to the healthcare sector. It aims to explain the origin of lean: how it is defined, the main tools, concepts, and principles behind it, provide some lean healthcare examples, and explore the differences between the manufacturing and healthcare systems. Design/methodology/approach: The article reviews current literature for lean application in healthcare from five databases. More than 60 articles and books were considered according to a taxonomy suggested. Findings: Lean originated from Toyota in the 1940s due to the need to increase production efficiency, specifically by reducing waste. Since then, lean has expanded to other industries and organisations, gradually advancing to services and, since the beginning of the twenty-first century, have also been used in the healthcare sector. While the philosophy was introduced to the world by Toyota, the term ‘lean’ was only introduced by Jon Krafcik in the late 1980s. Lean initially lacked an agreed-upon definition within the literature; any agreement reached was on the potential of lean thinking in the healthcare sector. Several lean tools and techniques were used by different organisations, mostly to reduce or eliminate waste. Some of the leading examples of lean healthcare include the United States of America’s (USA) Virginia Mason Medical Centre, Theda Care in Wisconsin (USA), Bolton Hospital in England, and the Saskatchewan health care system in Canada. Even with the encouraging success stories from adopting lean as a management approach, several challenges still remain. The healthcare sector differs greatly from the motor industry as hospitals are not factories, so the transition between the two is not straight forward. Originality/Practical implications: This literature review is helpful for journal editors and reviewers, researchers in healthcare organisations and healthcare practitioners as it offers a comprehensive, historical overview of how lean thinking has transformed and spread from Toyota manufacturers to the healthcare sector.","PeriodicalId":415155,"journal":{"name":"Research in Medical & Engineering Sciences","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129605051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most innovations fail because they do not serve an actual market. Different models are available to provide guidance in the development phase of a novel therapy. One of these models is the V model, which was created to align development with stakeholders and to improve efficiency of development cycle. The alignment with stakeholders helps to insure the innovation matches the actual market. The models is very functional in pure technical and digital innovation, however the medical innovation is complex and not fully covered by this model. The novel V+ model introduce an additional layer to the V model, thereby covering all aspects of development in the medical landscape.","PeriodicalId":415155,"journal":{"name":"Research in Medical & Engineering Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130957155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
