Introduction ERAS protocols promote early mobilisation reducing risk of post-operative complication [1,2]. The Southampton Physiotherapy Post-Operative Screening Tool (SPPOST) was introduced onto specialist surgical wards, with physiotherapy withdrawn for low risk patients. An audit concluded that mobility in this patient group was safely led by nurses, with no patients re-referred with pulmona...

Eras encodes a Ras-like GTPase protein that was originally identified as an embryonic stem cell-specific Ras. ERAS has been known to be required for the growth of embryonic stem cells and stimulates somatic cell reprogramming, suggesting its roles on mouse early embryonic development. We now report a dynamic expression pattern of Eras during mouse peri-implantation development: its expression i...

A tumorigenic culprit in ES cells n the debate over whether ES cells or somatic stem cells have better prospects for stem cell therapies, ES cell proponents admit that their pluripotent cells carry an increased risk: ES cells can form teratomas. have found that a newly discovered Ras gene may be at the heart of this problem. ERas, previously thought to be a pseudogene, was found by the group as...

BACKGROUND Japan has one of the highest five-year relative survival rates for colorectal cancer in the world, with its own traditions of perioperative care and a unique insurance system. The benefits of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in the Japanese population have yet to be clarified. METHODS We evaluated 352 consecutive cases of colorectal cancer resection at Tokyo Metropo...

BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has demonstrated in colorectal surgery a reduction in morbidity and length of stay without compromising security. Experience with ERAS programs in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is still limited. The aims of this study were first to evaluate the applicability of an ERAS program for PD patients in our hospital, and second to analyze the postoperative...

Aim of the study An ERAS protocol provides the latest perioperative care principles, whose primary aim is to reduce complication rates, and therefore mortality. The aim of this study is to establish the progress of the ERAS pathway implementation in our gynaecology department. Material and methods This was a retrospective analysis of two sets of 100 consecutive medical records: patients treat...

The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program aims to attenuate the surgical stress response and decrease postoperative complications. It has increasingly replaced conventional approaches in surgical care. To evaluate the benefits and harms of the ERAS program compared to conventional care in patients undergoing liver surgery. We searched the MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases....

The impact of the Mongol invasions of the Middle East has been the subject of extensive research, especially in the last few decades. Scholars have evaluated the damage and the benefits brought by the Mongols to the Islamic world in different fields such as the military, religion, politics, economy and culture. Despite this, in the case of Anatolia, the Mongol period is still under-studied when...

We extend the conceptual model developed by Amelinckx et al. (2008) by relating electronic reverse auction (ERA) project outcomes to ERA project satisfaction. We formulate hypotheses about the relationships among organizational and project antecedents, a set of financial, operational, and strategic ERA project outcomes, and ERA project satisfaction. We empirically test the extended model with a...
