Abstract Introduction GS related disease account for almost 1/3rd admissions and referrals in EGS 1. Rate of early cholecystectomy, as mandated by NICE guidelines, in a recent RCS annual report was only 0-30% of eligible patients.2 Aims The aim was to determine if an improved rate of acute cholecystectomy (AC) had been achieved by; increasing elective capacity for emergency general surgeons (EGS), ring fencing hot lists for AC, increased use of NCEPOD list and campaign of awareness among theatre and anaesthetic staff. Material and Methods A retrospective study of rates of AC before and after implementation of changes in working practice was conducted using hospital episode data. All patients eligible for early cholecystectomy were included. AC rate, Intra and post -operative complications, length of stay and number of referrals to the elective upper gastrointestinal (UGI) service were determined. Results Conclusion Acute cholecystectomy during acute admission by emergency surgical had been significantly improved. It is safe and does not increase post-operative LOS.

Purpose: Study clinical feature of phacomorphic glaucoma. To evaluate the result of treatment phacomorphic glaucoma. Method: The retrospective, interventional study on 36 cases with phacomorphic glaucoma who underwent treated at Hue Central Hospital from 6/2010 to 6/2011. Standard of research: visual, IOP, before and after surgery, accompanying lesions and post-operative complications. The surgery is considered successful when postoperative IOP less than 21 mmHg. Results: Age 50-59 presented 30.5 percent, ≥ 60 presented 91.7 percent. There was a slight female preponderance (66.7%) compared to the male population (33.3%) which implies a statistically marginally significant difference. However there was no statistical significance difference when compared by the two subgroups. Patient in country presented 61,1% and city presented 38,9%. The duration between the onset of pain and surgery from 0 to < 5 days (77.8%), from 6 to 10 (16.7%) and >10 days presented 5.5%. The preoperative intraocular pressure 35 to 45mmHg (47.2%), 46-55 (30.6%), 56-65 (13.9%) and more than 65 presented 8.3%. The visual acuity preoperation less than 1metre count finger (94.5%), less than 3 metre count finger presented 5.5%. Close anterior chamber angle presented 80.6% and shallow was presented 19.4%. Corneal edema presented 100%, iritis presented 94.4%, dilated pupil larger 5mm presented 83.3%, Synchynea iris and cataract presented 72.2%. ECCE, implantation IOL combined trabeculectomy presented 11.1%, Phaco, implantation IOL combined trabeculectomy presented 69,5%, ECCE implantation IOL presented 5.6%, Phaco, implantation IOL presented 13.8%. Postoperative visual acuity from 1/10 to 5/10 presented 72.2%, no case have VA larger than 5/10. Postoperative 3 months VA 1/10 to 5/10 presented 72.2%, larger VA 5/10 presented 8.3%. Postoperative 3 months intraocular pressure ≤ 21mmHg presented 91.7%, 22 to 24mmHg presented 8.3%, no case have IOP ≥25mmHg. Postoperative edema presented 58.3%, iritis presented 58.3%. Key words: phacomorphic Glaucoma

OJK issues POJK No.29 / POJK.04 / 2016 which requires MD & A disclosure in the annual report. The purpose of this study is to prove empirically that there are (1) market reactions in annual report disclosures, (2) the effect of MD & A disclosure level on abnormal returns. The study population used the KOMPAS100 index of 100 issuers with a total sample of 63 samples. The Wilcoxon statistical test results state that there are differences before and after the disclosure of the annual report. Furthermore, a simple linear regression test was conducted which gave the results that the MD & A disclosure had a positive effect on the market reaction that was proxied using abnormal return. The test results produce MD & A disclosures that have a positive effect on market reactions through abnormal returns so that the market is known to use the information contained in MD & A.Keywords : Management discussion and analysis, abnormal return, annual report.

30 Background: Patients’ understanding of their illness often guides best practice, and this is no less true at the end of life. Data showing the influence of patients’ acknowledgment of prognostic discussions on the accuracy of patients’ illness understanding could inform the debate regarding how to engage in these difficult discussions. Methods: To evaluate the effects of recent and past oncologist-patient discussions about prognosis/life-expectancy (P/LE) on changes in advanced cancer patents’ illness understanding (acknowledgement of their illness as 1. terminal; 2. incurable; 3. advance staged; and 4. associated with an estimated life-expectancy in months, not years), 208 patients (with advanced lung or upper gastrointestinal cancers that progressed on 1 chemotherapy regimen, or advanced colorectal cancers that progressed on 2) from Coping with Cancer II, a prospective observational cohort study, were interviewed before and after a visit with their oncologists who discussed scan results regarding potential additional progression. Results: Median time between pre- and post-scan interviews was 38 days. Controlling for potential confounds (i.e., patients’ race) and adjusting for patients’ pre-scan illness understanding, patients who acknowledged ever having discussions of P/LE with their oncologists were more likely to recognize that their disease was incurable (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 2.97, p = 0.009) than those who did not. Compared to patients who denied ever having a discussion of P/LE, those who reported having both recent and past discussions of P/LE were more likely to recognize that their disease was at an advanced stage (AOR = 4.88, p = 0.012), and those who reported having only recent discussions, or both recent and past discussions, of P/LE were more likely to estimate their life-expectancy in terms of months as opposed to years (AOR = 10.1, p = 0.050, and AOR = 17.5, p = 0.006, respectively). Conclusions: Advanced cancer patients who acknowledge having discussions of P/LE with their oncologists have a better understanding of the terminal nature of their illnesses as compared to those who do not, and thus may be better prepared to make informed end-of-life care decisions.

This study intends to examine the differences in market reaction around the announcement of the Annual Report Award which is not only measured by abnormal return but is also measured using trading volume activity and stock prices. The data used are quantitative data in the form of a list of companies that received the Annual Report Award for the 2015-2018 period, the daily closing price of the ARA-winning company in the event window, the composite stock price index, the number of shares traded, and the number of shares outstanding. The event window is selected for 11 days because the long window period will blend with the effects of other events or confounding effects. The results of the study concluded that the market reacted around the announcement of the Annual Report Award for the 2015-2018 period measured using abnormal returns, trading volume activity, and stock prices. There is no difference in abnormal returns before and after the announcement of the 2013-2016 Annual Report Award period. Instead there are differences in trading volume activity and stock prices before and after the announcement of the Annual Report Award for the 2015-2018 period.
