El presente artículo aporta los resultados de la evaluación llevada a cabo al final del primer curso de implantación de un programa municipal integral de deporte en edad escolar, especialmente centrados en los índices de satisfacción que ofrecen los diferentes agentes implicados: alumnos, padres, profesores y monitores. Se diseñó un cuestionario «ad hoc» para cada una de las cuatro poblaciones implicadas en el desarrollo del programa: alumnado, familias, profesorado y monitores. Se aplicó en las dos últimas semanas del programa. Los datos fueron analizados con el paquete estadístico SPSS 15.0. Los resultados muestran que, en términos generales, el programa integral de deporte escolar ha generado unos índices de satisfacción bastante elevados en todos los grupos participantes. Se analizan los puntos fuertes y débiles del proyecto respecto a los siguientes aspectos: encuentros de los viernes, uso de las instalaciones, actitud y metodología empleada por los monitores, enfoque que se le da a la actividad físico-deportiva (AFD) e información recibida sobre el proyecto. Conclusión: la evaluación del funcionamiento del programa muestra un índice de satisfacción muy elevado en todos los agentes implicados, aunque aparecen algunos puntos débiles que deberían ser mejorados en los siguientes cursos de aplicación.. Palabra clave: deporte escolar, proyecto investigación, índice de satisfacción, deporte educativo.Abstract: This paper provides the results of the evaluation carried out at the end of the first year of implementation of an integrated municipal scholar-sports project, especially focusing on the satisfaction ratings provided by various stakeholders (students, parents, teachers and monitors). A questionnaire was designed «ad hoc» for each of the four people involved in the development of the program: students, families, teachers and monitors. It was applied in the last two weeks of the program. Data were analyzed with SPSS 15.0. The results show that, overall, the integrated program of scholar-sport has generated very high satisfaction rates in all participating groups. We analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the project on the following aspects: the Friday meetings, use of facilities, attitude and methodology used by the monitors, an approach that is given to exercise regularly (AFD) and information received about the project. Conclusion: The performance evaluation of the program shows a very high satisfaction rate in all the agents involved, although there are some weaknesses that should be improved in the following application.Key words: Scholar-Sports, Project Research, Satisfaction Index, Educational Sport.

En este artículo presentamos los principales resultados obtenidos en la evaluación del tercer curso de funcionamiento de un programa municipal del Deporte Escolar (2011-2012), comparándolos con los obtenidos el primer año, con la intención de analizar su evolución y progreso y conocer las razones que lo expliquen. Se ha empleado una metodología mixta, a través del uso de cuestionarios pasados a los diferentes grupos implicados (alumnado, padres, profesores de EF y monitores) y entrevistas individuales y grupales semiestructuradas a los dos coordinadores y a un grupo de monitores. Los datos cuantitativos (cuestionarios) se han analizado con el paquete estadístico SPSS 20.0 y los datos cualitativos (entrevistas) han sido analizados con un sistema de categorías común. Los resultados muestran unos altos índices de satisfacción con el programa por parte de los cuatro grupos, si bien el grupo de monitores ha disminuido su satisfacción a lo largo de los años, convirtiéndose en el grupo más crítico, tanto por cuestiones económicas y burocráticas como formativas. Todos los grupos se muestran a favor del enfoque educativo y formativo de la actividad deportiva, siendo el grupo de estudiantes el que muestra un menor grado de acuerdo. Se concluye con la necesidad de integrar en la investigación metodologías comunicativas, que permitan una mayor participación de los diferentes grupos en la toma de decisiones para la mejora progresiva del programa. Palabras clave: deporte escolar, evaluación de programas, cuestionario, entrevista en profundidad, índices de satisfacción, metodología mixta.Abstract: In this paper we show the main results obtained in the evaluation of the third year (2011-2012) in a city youth sport program. We compare these results with those of the first year to analyze the program´s progress and its reasons. We have used a mixed methodology, through the questionnaires done for different stakeholders (students, parents, PE teachers and monitors) and interviews with coordinators and monitors. The quantitative data (questionnaires) have been analyzed with the statistic program SPSS 20.0 and the qualitative data (interviews) have been analyzed with a common category system. The results show a high satisfaction index with the program in the four groups, although the monitors´ group is the most critical and its satisfaction have decreased in the last three years, due to economic, bureaucratic and formative reasons. All groups agree with the educative and formative approach of physical activity, though the students group shows less agreement level. This paper concludes with the requirement of integrate in the research communication methodologies, that allowed a higher participation of different groups to take decisions and develop the program. Key words: youth sport, programs evaluation, questionnaire, in-depth interview, satisfaction index, mixed methodology.

In high-definition liposculpture (HDL), the body is shaped in such a way that an athletic appearance and a defined, contoured look is created. Typical areas in the male patient include arms, pectoralis region, the area over the serratus muscle, lower back, as well as medial and lateral abdomen. This procedure is sometimes combined with fat grafting to areas over the deltoid muscle and/or pectorals. The objective was to evaluate the safety and satisfaction of HDL in a large series of patients using reciprocating power-assisted liposuction under local anesthesia. In this bicenter study, we performed HDL on 82 male patients using reciprocating power-assisted liposuction under tumescent local anesthesia with both lidocaine and prilocaine. No drains were used. Intraoperative and postoperative data were collected, and complication and satisfaction rates were evaluated after 6 months. All overall patients’ satisfaction was high. There were no major complications. Minor complications included seroma (n = 4), and 3 patients required touch-up surgery. There were no side-effects from the anesthesia, and there was no fluid overload. High-definition liposculpture using reciprocating power-assisted liposuction in local anesthesia is a safe procedure with a high satisfaction rate.

Background: Patient’s satisfaction is a measure of the health facilities’ reputation and quality of health services. Therefore, determining the satisfaction of the patients in the current context is extremely necessary and meaningful. It provides the evidence for quality improvement of health services.Objective: A systematic review to review research findings on the the satisfaction level and relevant factors, analysis of strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies that need to be supplemented by further studies.Methods: Systematic review.Results: Searched and analyzed 32 national studies related to patient satisfaction. The results show that studies were carried out on many different subjects and locations with different levels of satisfactionConclusion: The satisfaction level of patients is quite high (satisfaction rate is over 70%, average score is over 3.5). Factors with high satisfaction rates include: Information transparency; Behavioralattitude and professional capacity of medical staff. Factors with not high satisfaction rates include: Infrastructure; Accessibility; Service results. Relevant factors: Patient’s satisfaction is not / verylittle related to demographic factors such as: Age, occupation, education level, medical examination target (with health insurance / no health insurance). Factors related to the patient’s satisfaction levelinclude: waiting

Penile prostheses are associated with very high satisfaction rates which have been reproduced consistently in the literature with rates of over 80%; the risk of infection, mechanical failure, and erosion are quoted as 2–16%, less than 6%, and less than 6%, respectively. When compared with Viagra®, vacuum therapy, or injection therapy, a penile prosthesis resulted in significantly higher satisfaction and sexual activity frequency. Penile prostheses should therefore be considered the gold standard treatment for the management of erectile dysfunction refractory to conservative measures. This chapter explores the surgical principles surrounding the surgical management of erectile dysfunction.

The ideological struggle deployed between the Syrian opposition groups and the government during the first year of the Syrian popular uprising is examined in this paper. Force alone was not enough for the regime to crush the revolt, at least during its first twelve months, while protesters were unable to bring down the government. The battle for cultural hegemony had to be won by one of the two sides. Protesters and the regime alike had to deploy their discourses along frames that resonated with the values, hopes and fears of Syrians. The effectiveness of the regime in securing the support of large sections of urban dwellers and its systematic violent repression led to frustration on the part of demonstrators, who ended up supporting at least morally the armed struggle. A stalemate was reached. This led to divergent framing activity within the opposition, which in turn led to its division.Spanish El artículo examina la lucha ideológica que se dio entre los grupos sirios de oposición y el gobierno durante el primer año del levantamiento popular en Siria. Durante los primeros 12 meses a partir de marzo de 2011, al régimen no le bastó con la fuerza bruta para aplastar la revuelta, aunque los manifestantes tampoco lograron tumbar al gobierno. Se dio un combate por la hegemonía cultural y uno de los bandos necesitaba ganarla. Tanto los opositores como el régimen frasearon sus discursos alrededor de aristas conceptuales (frames) en armonía con los valores, esperanzas y temores de la población siria. La e ficacia del régimen en obtener el apoyo de amplios sectores de los habitantes de las principales ciudades y la represión violenta sistemática condujeron a un sentimiento de frustración entre los manifestantes, que terminaron ofreciendo un apoyo al menos moral a la lucha armada. Se llegó a un impasse. Esto a su vez llevó a que diferentes grupos de oposición reconstruyeran su discurso en torno de aristas distintas, lo que generó división.French L'article étudie la lu e idéologique menée entre les groupes d'opposition et le gouvernement pendant la première année du soulèvement populaire en Syrie. Pendant les douze premiers mois, à dater du mois de mars de 2011, la force brute n'a pas suffiau régime pour écraser le mouvement, bien que les manifestants à leur tour n'aient pas réussi à faire tomber le gouvernement. Une lu e pour l'hégémonie culturelle s'est développée et un des deux côtés devait la gagner. L'opposition ainsi que le régime ont encadré (frame) leurs discours de sorte à qu'ils parlent aux valeurs, espoirs et peurs des syriens. Le succès du régime à gagner l'appui (ou le recul) de grands secteurs de la population des villes principales et la répression violente systématique ont produit un sentiment de frustration parmi les manifestants, qui ont fini par soutenir la lu e armée au moins moralement. La situation est arrivée à une impasse. Dans cet état, différents groupes d'opposition ont reformulé leurs discours au tour d'encadrements divergents, ce qui a mené à leur division.

Abstract Introduction and hypothesis This study aimed to report 3-year completed follow-up of the safety and efficacy of Macroplastique® (MPQ) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). Methods This is a retrospective analysis of all women who completed 3-year follow-up post-MPQ injection(s) at ten medical centers. We used the ROSE registry data report of Macroplastique® [Macroplastique® Real-time Observation of Safety and Effectiveness (ROSE) registry P040050/PAS001 on 2017]. Subjective incontinence outcome and adverse effects were assessed. Results The study included all patients (n = 70) who completed 3-year follow-up after the last MPQ injection. Twenty-four of 70 (34%) patients had two injections; 21/70 (30%) patients reported Stamey grade 0 and 28/70 (40%) reported Stamey grade 1. The overall patient satisfaction was 68% who completed 3-year follow-up. The composite success rate (I-QoL, PGI-S, and Stamey grade improvement) was 51.4%. No serious adverse events (AE) were reported within the completed 3-year follow-up. Conclusions MPQ was found to be safe and efficacious for the treatment of SUI secondary to ISD in women. The overall high satisfaction rate was sustained from baseline to 3 years post-injection. Most complications were minor and transient without sequelae.

This article discusses the use of telerehabilitation technologies in occupational therapy for school-based practice. Telerehabilitation, for the purpose of this program, included the implementation of occupational therapy services via two-way interactive videoconferencing technology. The subjects included in this pilot program were children, ages 6 to 11 years, who attended an online charter school and had difficulties in the areas of fine motor and/or visual motor skills which impacted success with handwriting. Each participant completed a virtual evaluation and six 30-minute intervention sessions. The Print Tool™ Assessment was used to determine progress pre- and post-program. A learning coach/student satisfaction survey was given at the end of the program to determine participant satisfaction. Outcomes revealed improvements in handwriting performance for most students who participated in the program and high satisfaction rates reported by all participants.

A Review of: Cirasella, J., & Bowdoin, S. (2013). Just roll with it? Rolling volumes vs. discrete issues in open access library and information science journals. Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication, 1(4). http://dx.doi.org/10.7710/2162-3309.1086 Abstract Objective – To understand the prevalence of, motivations for, and satisfaction with using a rolling-volume publishing model, as opposed to publishing discrete issues, across open access academic journals in library and information science. Design – A 12 question survey questionnaire. Setting – English-language, open access library and information science (LIS) journals published in the United States of America. Subjects – A total of 21 open access LIS journals identified via the Directory of Open Access Journals that were actively publishing, and that also met the authors’ standard of scholarliness, which they established by identifying a journal’s peer-review process or other evidence of rigorous review. Based on responses, 12 journals published using discrete issues, while 9 published as rolling volumes or as rolling volumes with some discrete issues. Methods – In late 2011, the study’s authors invited lead editors or primary journal contacts to complete the survey. Survey participants were asked to identify whether their journal published in discrete issues, rolling volumes, or rolling volumes with occasional discrete issues, with the latter two categories combined as one for ease of results analysis. Survey logic split respondents into two groups, either discrete-issue or rolling-volume. Respondents in both categories were posed similar sets of questions, with the key difference being that the questions directed at each category accounted for the publication model the journals themselves identified as using. Editors from both groups were asked about the reasons for using the publication model they identified for their journal: within the survey tool, authors provided 16 potential reasons for using a discrete-issue model, and 13 potential reasons for using a rolling-volume model. Respondents from both groups were asked to mark all reasons that applied for their respective journals. The survey also included questions about whether the journal had ever used the alternate publishing model, the editor’s satisfaction with their current model, and the likelihood of the journal switching to the alternate publishing model in the foreseeable future. Main Results – The authors collected complete responses from 21 of the original 29 journals invited to participate in the study, a response rate of 72%. For the 12 journals that identified as using discrete issues, ease of production workflow (91.7%), clear production deadlines (75.0%), and journal publicity and promotion (75.0%) were the three most common reasons for using a discrete-issue model. For the nine journals using rolling volumes, improved production workflow (77.8%), decreased dependence on production deadlines (77.8%), and increased speed of research dissemination (66.7%) were the three most common reasons cited for using a rolling-volume model. Findings show that overall satisfaction with a journal’s particular publication model was a common factor regardless of publishing model in use, though only the rolling-volume editors unanimously reported being very satisfied with their model. This high satisfaction rate is reflected in editors’ positions that they were very unlikely to switch away from the rolling-volume method. While a majority of editors of discrete-issue journals also reported being very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their current model, the mixed responses to whether they would contemplate switching to the alternate model suggests that awareness of the benefits of rolling-volume publishing is increasing. Conclusion – Researchers discovered a greater incidence of rolling-volume model journals with open access LIS journals than anticipated, suggesting that this is an area where additional research is necessary. The relative newness of the rolling-volume model may be a contributing factor to the high satisfaction rate among editors of journals using this model, as journal editors are likely to be more deliberate in selecting this model over the traditional discrete-issue publishing model. Workflow and production practices were identified as key characteristics for selecting a publishing model regardless of the model selected, and therefore this is another area in need of further investigation.

 Background: Cervical cancer ranks 3rd leading cause of cancer in the world. Cervical erosion is mostly asymptomatic in women but when symptoms like postcoital bleeding and vaginal discharge occur in the presence of cervical erosion, it becomes important to identify whether the erosion is a benign lesion or CIN or cancer by means of PAP smear and Biopsy. Treatment for benign and precancerous lesion can be provided by ablative or excisional methods. Cryotherapy was reliably used to treat cervical lesions.Methods: Women among 18 to 60 years of age attending outpatient department who had history of chronic discharge per vaginum, postcoital bleeding, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain. Patients were divided in two by PAP smear in erosion with inflammatory changes and presence of low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Cryotherapy was performed using double-freeze single session procedure. Each patient was followed up at 2, 6 and at 12 weeks. Complications and patients’ satisfaction were recorded and compared to calculate cure rate of symptoms, healing of lesion.Results: The healing efficacy of cryotherapy at 6th and 12th week was 87.8% and 91.1% respectively. Cryotherapy had high satisfaction rate. The cure rate was not affected by location of lesion and size of lesion in both inflammation and LSIL.Conclusions: Cryotherapy is an effective method for treatment of cervical erosion and effectively eliminates symptoms. Patients were highly satisfied. Cryotherapy is cheap, easy, and safe treatment. It is suitable for both hospital and office-based practice.

Background: The rhomboid intercostal and subserratus plane (RISS) block is a new interfascial block technique that has shown promising results for abdominal and thoracic surgeries. Our objective was to describe the improved analgesia and dermatomal coverage in patients who received bilateral RISS blocks after a major abdominal surgery.Case: Twenty-one patients who underwent abdominal surgery received the rhomboid intercostal component of the block at the T5 to T6 levels, and the subserratus component block was performed at the T6 to T9 levels.The RISS blocks provided effective postoperative analgesia. There was a variation in the dermatomal coverage ranging from T3 to T12. Patients reported a high satisfaction rate from pain management. Conclusions: The RISS block in abdominal surgery seems to have an important role in perioperative pain management, complementing the multimodal analgesic regimen. To determine the efficacy of the RISS block for abdominal surgery, we need further randomized control trials.
