The evolution of modern neurosurgical techniques in traumatic brain injury has been ongoing for the last two centuries. However, it has always been a challenge to obtain an effective clinical outcome, especially in those following severe traumatic brain injuries. Other than the well-established procedures for acute and/or chronic subdural hematomas and depressed skull fractures, newer avenues for the development of surgical techniques, where indicated, have been minimal. The study proposes to apply the principles of microvascular surgery and skull base surgery in selected cases of severe traumatic brain injuries.

In the last ten years, an increased number of international students have been a significant feature of tertiary education institutions of Australia. An article in an Australian newspaper, „The Age‟ on May 7 2005 [1] argued that the money gained from international students is critical for the financial viability of a number of Australian universities. For the financial year 2003-04, the economic surplus from international students was reported at AUD 5.622 billion for the education sector [2]. The Department of Education, Science and Training statistical data for 2004 showed 322,776 enrolled onshore international students [3], of which 164,079 were registered in the Higher Education sector. Students with a permanent home address in China made up the biggest share, amounting to 33,506 for the academic year 2004 [4]. The latest figures published by the Australian Education International (a government body), reveal that the offshore Chinese students contribute to more than double the number of university international student as compared to students from other countries [5]. Expectations are that the number of international students in Australia is only likely to increase in the future. It therefore serves to follow that Australian universities, administrators and staffs have stakes in ensuring that international students possess positive views of their educational and social experiences.

Introduction: Cholelithiasis is the most common biliary pathology, with prevalence of 10-15%. In 1992, National Institute of Health consensus development stated that laparoscopic cholecystectomy provides a safe and effective treatment for most patients with symptomatic gallstones and it is the treatment of choice for cholelithiasis. This study is undertaken to determine the predictive factors for difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methodology: A prospective open-labeled study was carried out at Padmashree Vasant Dada Patil, Government Hospital Sangli, a tertiary center and teaching hospital in Western Maharashtra that is attached to Government Medical College, Miraj. All patients presenting with upper abdominal pain, or vomiting or dyspepsia or jaundice from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013 were screened for cholelithiasis. Ninety-nine cases diagnosed with cholecystitis following exclusion criteria and undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were considered for the study. They were evaluated with following risk factors: age >50 years, male gender, body mass index (BMI) 25.1-27.5 and >27.5, previous surgery, prior hospitalization, palpable gall bladder, gallbladder wall thickening, impacted stone, and pericholecystic collection. Each risk factor was given a score preoperatively. The total score up to five predicted easy, 6-10 difficult and >10 very difficult. Statistical analysis was performed using Fischer's Test for qualitative data and unpaired t -test for quantitative data. Results: BMI >27.5 history of prior hospitalization, palpable gallbladder, impacted stone and pericholecystic collection are significant predictors of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Conclusion: The proposed scoring system had a positive prediction value for easy prediction of 94.05% and for difficult prediction of 100%.

Introduction: In the process of growing, adolescents experience stress and their coping abilities determine the outcome. School training further adds to this stressful situation. It is noteworthy that persistently high stress levels will impair students' academic achievement, personal and professional development. This article describes the prevalence of stress, stressors and coping strategies among secondary school students in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on secondary school students in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. Secondary school and participant selections were done via stratified random sampling with a sample size of 505 students. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), Secondary School Stressors Questionnaire (3SQ) and Brief COPE inventory were self-administered to measure stress level, sources of stress and coping strategies respectively among the participants. Results: Out of 505 selected participants, 421 (83.36%) responded to this survey. This study found that the prevalence of distressed secondary school students was 32.8%. The major stressors for all types of schools were academic-related issues. This study showed that the students in technical school were more distressed than students elsewhere. Among the most frequent coping strategies used by the students were religion, positive reinterpretation, use of instrumental support, active coping and planning. There were relationships between intrapersonal and interpersonal related stressor, academic achievements, level of school and academic related stressor, attention from parent, behavioral disengagement, self-blame and planning coping strategies with stress level of the students. Conclusion: This study found that there was a high prevalence of distressed negatively stressed secondary school students, the major stressors were related to academic and contributing factors of stress were related to school training, students and parents. Training students on positive coping strategies, reducing stressor-related school training, and improving parent and teacher supports to the students will help to improve this condition.
