Objectif : Pour améliorer la productivité du bétail et de la viande et accroitre le revenu des producteurs, la promotion des activités d’embouche est encouragée et soutenu par différents acteurs au développement. Cependant, la maitrise de l’activité par les producteurs en milieu paysan est faiblement documentée. Méthodologie et résultats : Cette étude a été conduite dans la zone semi-aride du Burkina Faso avec pour objectif d’analyser les pratiques d’embouche des producteurs et d’apprécier leur capacité de production. Elle a consisté en des enquêtes formelles auprès des emboucheurs de huit villages dont quatre dans la zone de Ouahigouya (province du Yatenga) et quatre dans la zone de Dori (province du Seno). Les données ont été collectées auprès de 197 producteurs choisis suivant un échantillonnage en boule de neige. Les résultats montrent deux groupes d’emboucheurs : le premier est dominé par les emboucheurs de la zone de Ouahigouya et le deuxième par ceux de la zone de Dori. Les emboucheurs du groupe 1 ont un âge plus avancé (54 % plus de 50 ans), que ceux du groupe 2 où près de 77 % ont moins de 50 ans. Dans le premier groupe le niveau d’instruction est relativement plus élevé, avec 40 % scolarisés contre 73 % d’illettrés pour le groupe 2. Le nombre d’ovins et de bovins embouchés est plus élevé au niveau du groupe 1 avec en moyenne 8,4 et 3,2 respectivement contre 3,8 et 2,3 pour le groupe 2. Les fosses fumières sont fréquentes dans le groupe 1 où 63% en possèdent. Conclusion et application des résultats : En conclusion, l’étude montre un faible niveau technique des emboucheurs ainsi que leur faible capacité de production, plus marqué dans la zone de Dori. Ces résultats permettent de guider les interventions dans le domaine de l’embouche, notamment de cibler les actions suivant les sites. Dans ces démarches un accent particulier devra être mis sur les cultures à double objectif afin d’améliorer l’alimentation et réduire le cout de production, tout en favorisant l’intégration agricultureélevage.

However, the knowledge of this activity by farmers in rural area is poorly documented. Methodology and results: This study was conducted in the semi-arid zone of Burkina Faso in order to analyse the fattening practices of farmers and assess their production capacity. It consisted of formal surveys of farmers in eight villages, four of which were in the Ouahigouya area (Yatenga province) and four in the Dori area (Seno province). The data were collected from 197 farmers chosen according to a snowball sampling. The results show two groups of farmers: fatteners from the Ouahigouya area and the second dominate the first by those from the Dori area. The fatteners in group 1 are older (54% over 50 years) than those in group 2 where almost 77% are under 50 years old. In the first group, the level of education is relatively higher, with 40% educated against 73% illiterate for group 2. The number of sheep and cattle fattened is higher in group 1 with on average 8.4 and 3.2 respectively against 3.8 and 2.3 for group 2. Manure pits are frequent in group 1 where 63% have them. Conclusion and application of results: This survey reveals low technical level of the farmers as well as their low production capacity, particularly in the Dori area. These results could guide interventions on fattening field particularly to target actions according to the sites. They should involve dual-purpose crop production in order to improve nutrition and reduce the cost of production, while promoting the integration of crop and livestock.

Abstract. There are two types of Japanese quails, reared in Europe – dual-purpose and meat. The aim of the present study was to made an economic analysis of fattening quails from the dual-purpose and heavy production types. Three groups were formed – group 1 (dual-purpose), groups 2 and 3 (heavy type), reared in cages. After quails sexing on the 16th day of age, there were formed six subgroups: 1m, 1f, 2m, 2f, 3m and 3f. Fattening period lasted until 35 days of age. For revenues calculation produced meat and edible offal data per m2, were used. Costs calculation include consumed feed for the period, day-old quail, and other costs. The main production costs were associated with feed and day-old quails: from 80.3 and 82.6% of all costs in the studied groups. The anticipated revenues from produce in group 2 were 10 EUR/m2 higher than those in group 1, and for group 3 – 10.21 EUR/m2 higher than group А. The results indicate that meat type quails fattening is the most economically efficient in quail meat production. Producing quail edible offal is still not developed but could be beneficial for efficiency of quail fattening small farms.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) presents a significant economic burden to patients, health care insurers and society, and is expected to remain so in the near future. There are few studies describing the costs of AML in the literature. However, the high cost of treating AML and the demographic evolution of the world population, indicate that such studies are needed to support ongoing efforts to allocate resources efficiently in health care. OBJECTIVE: To describe and compare the costs of AML therapies daily used at the Antwerp University Hospital in adult patients receiving chemotherapy with/without stem cell transplantation and in patients receiving immunotherapy using dendritic cell vaccination. DESIGN AND METHODS: This monocentric study compares direct hospital medical costs of treatment for AML between 2005 and 2010, allocated and charged according to the hospital analytic accounting system. Information on use of medical resources was collected from electronic medical records. Professional and facility charges associated with inpatient and outpatient management were collected using electronic billing information. Drug costs and drug administration costs were based on list prices published by the Belgian reimbursement authority (RIZIV/INAMI). The cost analysis distinguished between group 1, patients treated with induction and consolidation therapy alone; group 2, patients treated with induction and consolidation therapy plus allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and group 3, patients treated with induction and consolidation therapy plus immunotherapy using dendritic cells engineered to express the Wilms’ tumor protein (Van Tendeloo et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2010;107(31):13824-9). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: 51 adult patients who were treated for newly diagnosed AML were included. Costs on medical and nursing care at the hematology ward, pharmaceutical prescriptions, transfer episodes to the intensive care ward, laboratory tests and medical imaging were analyzed. The cost of dendritic cell vaccine preparation was € 20 450 per patient. The median cost in group 1 (15 patients) was € 32,648 (range: € 4,759 - € 140,383). Only 1 patient in group 1 went into remission after induction therapy and received consolidation therapy. All patients in group 1 died within 5 year after diagnosis, 13 patients died within 1 year and 5 died within 1 month. The median cost in group 2 (26 patients) was € 184,554 (range: € 87,932 - € 449,155). The median post-consolidation treatment cost in group 2 was € 110,430 (range: € 31,364 - € 255,948). Five-year survival in group 2 was 19%. Seventeen patients in group 2 died within 1 year after HSCT. The median cost in group 3 (10 patients) was € 88,635 (range: € 23,392 - € 215,119). The median post-consolidation treatment cost in group 3 was € 40,748 (range: € 26,907- € 156,870). Five-year survival in group 3 was 30%. Four patients in group 3 died within 1 year after vaccination. CONCLUSION: This study comparing different post-consolidation therapies confirmes the high cost of treating AML and suggests that savings to the healthcare system could be achieved by sustaining complete remission status for longer periods. Dendritic cell vaccination is one of the new therapeutic options to attain a long remission status. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

This study measures the distress and Quality of Life (QoL) among people with type II diabetics in relation to physical exercise.  The study was conducted using diabetic participants chosen from various hospitals, aerobic centres, playgrounds and gyms in the city of Hyderabad in India.  The participants were divided into two groups – group 1 comprising people who did not adopt physical activity as part of their diabetes management strategy and group 2 comprising people who engaged in physical activity. A quasi-experimental study was performed on both groups employing purposive and snowball sampling methods. Pearson r showed that distress is negatively correlated with QoL among type II diabetics in both groups. Independent t-test indicated that participants in group 2 showed better QoL and lower levels of distress compared to their counterparts in group 1.

Objective: The objective of the present study is to compare the prescribing patterns and cost of illness of Rheumatoid arthritis patients in two different hospitals. Methods: This is an observational study conducted in two different tertiary care hospitals in Salem district after obtaining approval of the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) (Registration Number EC/PHARM D/2019.06). A sample size of 102 (above 18 y) patients were included (52 from group 1 hospital and 50 from group 2 hospital). The study was conducted over a period of 6 mo from February 2019 to July 2019. The cost was collected by a patient face-to-face interview. Results: Out of 102 patients, females (57.84%) patients were more prevalent than men with the age group of 50-59 y in both groups. Methotrexate was most commonly prescribed drug in group 1(36.5%), whereas in group 2 are Sulfasalazine (37%). Among the DMARDs unit cost of methotrexate is high but the monthly cost was high for Sulfasalazine, because the methotrexate is prescribed on a once-weekly basis while sulfasalazine is taken twice a day. The cost of NSAIDs comes around 46.47% of the total drug cost of the month. In steroids, cost comes around 11.73% of the total drug cost. Among the direct cost of two groups, the drug cost and transportation cost is higher when compared with other costs. Indirect costs such as lost wages, due to disease is higher in group 1. Conclusion: The study concluded that the burden of RA to the patient is huge, Appropriate standard prescribing guidelines should be developed and implementation of the rational drug must be promoted. Polypharmacy was reported in group 1 hospital, the progression of symptoms was the same in both hospitals, it increases the cost of therapy and overall cost of patients. Hence it becomes vital to diagnose and control the disease at an early stage to control the economic burden on the patient.

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of the laser lithotripter with the ultrasonic lithotripter in mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (miniperc). Material and Methods: From June 2013 to January 2014; medical records of 77 consecutive patients who underwent miniperc operation were retrospectively evaluated. Ultrasonic lithotripter was used in 22 patients (Group 1), while laser was used in 55 patients. In the laser group, 22 patients were randomly selected who had same characteristics compared to group 1 (Group 2). Success rate, total operative time, complications according to modified Clavien classification, fluoroscopy time, haemoglobin drop, hospital stays and cost analysis were assessed. Success rates were evaluated on the second postoperative day and after the first month. Results: Total operative time (p = 0.635) and fluoroscopy time (p = 0.248) were not significantly different between the two groups. In the laser group, the success rate (81.8%) was notably more than in the ultrasonic lithotripter group (68.2%) but there was no statistically significance (p = 0.296). Ten reusable ultrasonic probe were used for 22 patients, due to thinness and sensitiveness of the probe. Conversely, one single laser fiber (550 micron) was used for 22 patients. When the cost analysis of lithotripsy was considered, the cost per case was 190 dollar in group 1 and 124 dollar in group 2. (p = 0.154) Complication rate, hospital stay and haemoglobin drop were similar in both groups. Conclusion: Laser lithotripsy seems to be more cost effective than ultrasonic lithotripsy for miniperc but larger number of patients are required to confirm this estimation.

✓ The authors reviewed clinical and financial data for all patients treated for nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and unruptured cerebral aneurysms at their institution between June 1993 and December 1994. This study sought to identify specific areas of high resource utilization that may be amenable to reduction of expenditures without compromising quality of care. Detailed hospital financial data were correlated with clinical grade and course. Areas of high resource use were identified based on patient charges and category-specific loaded hospital cost. Patients were divided into four groups: Group 1, surgically treated unruptured aneurysms (28 patients); Group 2, acute SAH (42 patients); Group 3, SAH with vasospasm (32 patients); and Group 4, SAH with negative angiogram (10 patients). Total cost per patient (mean ± standard deviation in thousands of U.S. dollars) was highest for Group 3 (38.4 ± 21.3; vs. Group 1, 12.7 ± 8.8; Group 2, 22.6 ± 20.9; and Group 4, 25.0 ± 33.5) and correlated with hospital length of stay, Hunt and Hess grade, and Fisher grade. Areas of highest hospital cost were not always reflected in patient charges. The three areas of highest cost accounted for 48.5% of the total cost and were: 1) intensive care unit (ICU) room (Group 1, 2.5 ± 3.5; Group 2, 7.0 ± 9.2; Group 3, 11.0 ± 7.8; and Group 4, 7.9 ± 14.1); 2) arteriography (Group 1, 1.7 ± 1.2; Group 2, 2.1 ± 1.5; Group 3, 4.1 ± 2.1; and Group 4, 2.2 ± 0.7); and 3) ICU medicosurgical supplies (Group 1, 1.7 ± 0.8; Group 2, 2.0 ± 1.5; Group 3, 3.7 ± 1.7; and Group 4, 2.0 ± 3.0). It is concluded that cost containment strategies should be based on cost rather than charge and novel approaches will be required to reduce the cost of treating patients with SAH. Such approaches might include preventing vasospasm, reducing ICU stay, selective use of arteriography, and reducing the cost of supplies.

In this study, examined the economic analysis of fruit sapling producing enterprises in Hatay Province. The data were obtained from 92 enterprises by the method of full count and face to face with producers. Enterprises were classified as three groups according to the production capacity of fruit sapling trees. First group (1 to 50.000 number sapling), second groups (50.001 to 100.000 number sapling) and third group (more than 100.000 number sapling).The average gross production value is 590.083 TL in enterprises and fruit sapling sales account for 75.38% of the gross production value in enterprises. Gross output, net profit and agricultural income are calculated as 593.108 TL, 365.200 TL and 411.980 TL. In addition to the average fixed costs and variable costs are found as 80.828 TL and 109.842 TL in enterprises respectively. Also, the cost of per sapling and selling price of saplings were calculated as 1.87 TL and 3.36 TL. As a result, net margin is higher in III. group enterprises which have more production capacity than the others.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the dependence of sintering conditions on mechanical properties and microstructure of zirconia stabilized by yttria. Commercial blocks of pre-sintered of zirconia stabilized (DeguDent Dentsply, Germany-Cercon) were investigated in this study. The blocks belonging to group 1 were sintered under the recommended conditions by the manufacturer (1350°C for 6 hours). The blocks of group 2 were sintered under 1500°C for 6 hours. The blocks of group 3 were sintered under 1350 C for 14.5 hours. The results indicated that the sintering conditions influenced the mechanical properties and microstructure of zirconia. The three sintering conditions analyzed in this study produces zirconia bodies with properties adequate to be used in clinical function. However, the decisive factor for change in the sintering conditions should be the cost/benefit during the prosthetical process and longevity of clinical material to perform its function in the oral cavity.

in the context of optimizing the financial mechanisms of the national healthcare system, introducing the single-channel financial principle and further developing the insurance-based medicine in Russia, a competent financial accounting becomes an important element of the entire healthcare system.Aim – compare the economic effectiveness of various methods of closing a loop ileostomy.Materials and methods. The study included 327 patients randomized into 3 groups. in group 1, the closure of an ileostomy was performed manually with the formation of an end-to-end ileo-ileoastomosis; in group 2, the anastomosis was formed in the ”side by side” manner; and in group 3, a semi-automated surgical technique was used for the anastomosis formation.Results. The average cost of the treatments (per patient) in groups 1 and 2 was 131,704.90 rubles. and 145,473.70 rubles, respectively, while in group 3, the cost was higher – 167,443,60 rubles (p <0,001). This cost increase in Group 3 was mainly due to the cost of a disposable stapler and cassettes.Conclusion. The formation of a manual ileoileoanastomosis of the end-to-end type was less budget-consuming in comparison with the other methods. The semi-automated procedure based on disposable parts was the most expensive method of closing a loop ileostomy.
