AbstractThe cholecystectomy procedure is the most routinely performed intervention in general surgery. The current international gold standard is via the laparoscopic approach. It is a safe, minimally-invasive procedure; however, it is associated with complications in 1% of cases.was to analyze patient feedback, by means of a survey, to determine how much knowledge patients possessed about their disease state and proposed surgical intervention, based primarily on information contained within the informed consent form developed by the Association of Polish Surgeons.This study involved the participation of 51 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, indicated by a diagnosis of gallstones, in the years 2014 and 2015.Despite having signed the informed consent form, there was considerable variation among the responses given to the survey by the 51 patients in this study. Some patients’ responses were tangential to the questions asked; many patients did not respond to any of the sub points.Given that this study is based on a small sample size of patients, it must be presumed that the process by which the patient declares his or her informed consent requires further consideration with respect to the means by which it is obtained. The authors of this study thus recommend that multimedia resources be harnessed as part of the process of obtaining the informed consent of patients prior to surgical intervention.

Descriptive Qualitative

Background: The implementation of informed consent at Radiology department of Sukoharjo Hospital was conducted by administrative officer and radiographer. The officer explained the preparation of pyelographic intra-venous examination to the patient then the patient was asked to fill out and sign the informed consent form. According to the Indonesian Medical Council and Regulation of the Minister of Health of Indonesia, the delivery of informed consent is carried out by doctors. The doctor explains all the information contained in the contents of informed consent before taking any medical action. The purpose of this research is to know the implementation of informed consent done in the radiology department and patient understanding of the contents of the informed consent form.Methods: The type of this research is descriptive qualitative research with the observational approach. Data were collected in March-June 2017 by observational of informed consent and interviews of 30 patients who will conduct intra vena pyelographic examination. Data analyzed by descriptively.Results: The results showed that the provision of informed consent to intravenous pyelographic examination patient at Sukoharjo Hospital was performed by administration officer and radiographer before conducting the examination. The patient's understanding of the contents of informed consent has not been in accordance with the content of the informed consent form because the information submitted by the radiologist only concerning the preparation of intravenous examination of pyelography does not include examination procedures, objectives, risks, complications, diagnoses, prognoses, alternative other measures and risks, and costs.Conclusions: In radiology department of Sukoharjo hospital at Intravenapyelography patient informed consent delivered by administrative officers and radiographer. Patients understanding the content of informed consent

Lead Levels

The aim of this research work was to measure the concentration of essential trace elements, including serum copper, iron and zinc in children suffering from anemia, and also to investigate the effect of heavy metal like lead on causing anemia. The study has been performed on school going children living in Hyderabad, which is a mini industrialized city. The study was carried out in anemic children studying in different schools of Hyderabad having different age groups. 10 ml venous blood samples were obtained after an informed consent form was signed.The samples were used to analyzed the trace elements (Fe,Cu, Zn) and toxic metal Lead (Pb). Trace elements include zinc and copper were found elevated in anemic children than healthy one, Copper is involved in many vital mechanisms in the body, energy production, connective tissue formation, and Fe metabolism, whereas copper found low with relation to the iron in anemic children because copper helps in the absorption of iron. Zinc is an essential micronutrient demanded by living being because of its significant position in-cooperation with structural constituent of proteins and as a cofactor in enzyme catalysis, there is difference between zinc and iron, they have been found to inhibit each other’s absorption due to their competitive absorption pathways. Increased zinc levels found in children with low iron content, whereas control group have normal results of these elements which may be due to their dietary management. The results revealed the environmental pollution and the associated health risks on exposure to lead. Pb concentrations whereas the current research stated a considerable relationship of mild and severe anemia with 10-42.2μg/dl Pb concentrations, the variation in results may be due to a small sample size in the current study, Drinking water from corrosion of plumbing systems through the use of lead sellers and other lead containing materials in connecting household plumbing to public water supplies. Ground and surface water are also contaminated by lead consuming industry and agricultural activities. The concentrations of Pb greater than or equal to (≥)10 μg/dl in children related with an increased threat of mild and severe anemia, diminishing iron absorption . High Lead levels were related with lower concentrations of iron, ferritin and copper, in this study it was found that high levels of lead were found mostly in boys. Lead levels have also found in control group which was below 5 ug/dl, according to WHO ≥ 10 ug/dl is considered as high.
