Mission Without the unwavering focus on mission and vision its much too easy to get mired in the day to day routine which businesses are chock full of. Without mission and vision, businesses are boring. For MISSION think: managing with greatness and untamed strength, improving everything daily. MISSION will feed into the confidence of your organization by feeding this ever-present self-talk: We can do this, and we are the ones ordained to do this, for we are the best at it. Mission will churn out revolutionary ideas about the mundane, banishing mediocrity. "Nepal Telecom as a progressive, customer spirited and consumer responsive Entity is committed to provide nation-wide reliable telecommunication service to serve as an impetus to the social, political and economic development of the Country". Vision For VISION think: leading with inspiration and courage, obsessed with future possibility, in a love affair with change. VISION creates that momentum of growing anticipation about the future, where change is embraced as a step closer to that very compelling picture of whats coming next. The excitement about the future trumps any apprehension about the uncertain change is recognized as the catalytic converter it is. "Vision of Nepal Telecom is to remain a dominant player in telecommunication sector in the Country while also extending reliable and cost effective services to all" Goal Goals and objectives are essential ("If you don't know where you are going, you could wind up anywhere!"), but vision, values, role definitions, and systems of tracking results all serve as the "container" for effective growth and development, and must be first put in place. "Goal of Nepal Telecom is to provide cost effective telecommunication services to every nook and corner of country"
ACCESS NETWORK PLANNING DEPARTMENT SITUATED CHHAUNI, KATHMANDU ESTABLISHED 1991 STATED AS A SMALL UNIT AS PLANNING TEAM ITS HEAD OFFICE IS AT SINGHA DARBAR
ACCESS NETWORK PLANNING DEPARTMENT LAYOUT
MEASURING WHEEL COMPUTERS WHITE SHEETS FOR DRAWING PRINTERS AND PHOTOCOPY CABLE CAD ( SOFTWARE'S) LADDERS OTHER BASIC STATIONARY MATERIALS
I have joined Nepal telecom central office at chhauni on 12th October 2011. Onward that I was working under access network planning department which is one of the major department which works for PSTN (landline services) among four of them, its main aim is to distribute lines as per consumer demands. Supply should matches demand is object of this department. First a pal as per the information received from head office located at singha Darbar, it is received by the manager and is forwarded to concern section. Then we discuss about the location and sites detail information. As it is a team work certain team is assigned for survey about the location and understand its situation whether it is actually required or the fake information. Than as per the information received data from the measurement and instrument department is collected then as per that rough layout is plotted indicating poles and their locations. Sometimes required number of connection may be less but due to some reasons or political pressure it's not necessary to go there and distribute lines. Distribution box consists about 500; 1000 connection in one package so depending upon the area and location these boxes is installed. Firstly underground from the main point then Arial roots to the customer.
This is the secondary thing before this our job is to roughly plot the map. Then move to the computer software mane cable CAD. Free hand drawing is plotted in computer if manager says ok the the final drawing is plotted using proper dimension, tools and equipments, position of the poles and Distribution boxes installation. This department basically works for GIS; Plan tracking, estimation and costing concerned with PSTN LINE. Depending upon the location one may have to visit Tarai region as well as hilly areas almost all the control is from our central office. PSTN Services In the field of Telecommunications, Nepal Telecom has been the trusted partner of the people of Nepal since 2032. In order to make life of a Nepali easier, Nepal Telecom makes continuous effort to introduce the latest technology of communications. As always, Nepal Telecom is devoted towards our customer satisfaction and national development with all communicational prospect and technologies. Always striving to bring in the latest technologies and services to its users. Engaged in reaching communication facilities to the every corner of the country Guided more by a national cause of serving people than earning profit. Below are the basic telephone services provided by Nepal Telecom. PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) Local Calls Domestic Telex Local Leased Lines National Trunk Calls International Trunk Calls Operator-Assisted Int'l Telephone Internet Service Packet Switching Data Communication Activating/ Deactivating Phone Locks
ADVANTAGES OF PSTN: The public switch telephone network (PSTN) is the network of devices that make up the world's circuit switched phone service. The PSTN consists of fiber optic cables, telephone lines, cellular networks, communication satellites and microwave transmitters, which are all connected by switches located in centers around the world. VOIP telephony is an internet communications technology that provides a new way to make phone calls and is a challenge to the established PSTN. The PSTN does still possess some advantages. Established Technology The PSTN began in 1876 with the formation of American Bell, which later became AT&T. The technology used by the PSTN in the beginning changed by leaps and bounds and provides a high quality, automated switching communications network. The technology used today by the PSTN has proven effective in providing clear call quality for consumers over many years. Reliability The PSTN became more reliable throughout its existence. The PSTN is noted as an extremely reliable form of voice communication used by millions of people around the world every day. As the PSTN network grew, and underwater telecommunications cables, satellite links and the use fiber optics became more pervasive, the reliability of the PSTN increased and provided consumers with the ability to place calls around the world that remain consistently clear and reliable.
Circuit Switched The PSTN uses circuit switched technology that sets up a dedicated circuit between two callers exclusively established for that call. The circuit is used only for voice traffic between the two calling parties, as opposed to VOIP telephony, which utilizes the same network bandwidth for VOIP calls, data transfer, video transmissions and Internet traffic. The circuit switch technology used by the PSTN provides consistent high quality voice calls, while VOIP callers can experience problems with voice delay, robotic voice, one way audio and overall poor voice quality. No Extra Equipment To be hooked up to the PSTN users only need a line connected to their home from the PSTN. Most homes already have this connection. The user plugs a phone into their telephone jack. VOIP telephony users need to rent or purchase an additional VOIP modem to connect their phone to make and receive calls. No Extra Services The PSTN is provided to consumers by the local phone company as residential or business telephone service. Most phone users already have this service. VOIP telephony requires the purchase of VOIP service from the local cable company, or requires a high-speed Internet connection to utilize VOIP services provided by numerous Internet providers. Users of the PSTN don't need Internet service connections to place telephone calls.
Cable CAD software:
Cable CAD brings computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA) to the cable, wire rope and flexible pipe industries. Running under Microsoft Windows, Cable CAD is specialized design software for laying out cable geometry and performing structural analysis to assess cable performance. It is difficult to model complex helical structures using general purpose CAD and FEA software. Cable CAD simplifies this task by building models using standard cable components and terminology. Finite element mesh generation is automatic. Models of cable, wire rope and flexible pipe can be created and analyzed quickly and easily. The speed and versatility of this unique cable design software is sure to reduce your design time and lower your design costs.
As we all work in a group as a team for performing certain tasks it helps in sharing ideas and knowledge as well as feeling of help and cooperation between team members. One gets to know about different cultures and gets chance to different in working in group and as an individual. Concerned with the technology as it is the oldest mean of communication has its one identity and value. People do relies in the technology which is reliable rather than adopting new on it depends upon the nature and types of services people wants to use. Noise interference is less as compared to other devices as it is a landline service.
Concerning with the management point of view decision given by the top management is final and other have to follow them. Lack of understanding between peers and supervisor. as it is planning job one have to go to the remote areas as well as Terai belts some of the staff were willing to go but other doesnt wants to go but their name is selected for the job. This is the difficult faced by staff. Regarding the task we are assigned for maintenance problem for the PSTN cable is difficulty and in places where fault arises are replaced by optical fiber cables as the cost of copper cable is high and is not easily available.
One need to go to field and have to survey whether the requirement is as per the specification or not. Got to face real life problem and difficult and generate ideas how to tackle them. Its a challenging task to do so drawing and measurement task also helps in improving technical skills. Working in group also boosts up moral of employee.
THREATS There is a threat with the competitor as new technology are being developed and experimented daily. As being the old technology peoples likes to experiment with the newer ones which may benefit them. Other threat is the political instability due to the unstable government flow of work is not completed as per the schedule. Threats from the IP based technology, use of latest ones.
I am very glad to work under this department as it is concerned with paper work as well as field work. It gives ideas about how to be in team and teaches you to work as one unit, understand each feeling and nature of help and cooperation. On the other hand teaches you about paper work computer related drawing and measurements, estimating and costing which will be useful for your entire life in any field. Its main objective is to distribute landline services to consumer home.

Re: Finally Franklin! — A Thread for June - Barnes & Noble Book Clubs
Re: Finally Franklin! — A Thread for June
Finally Franklin! — A Thread for June
In response to requests that we read about Franklin this month (or last month!), the featured book for June will be Walter Isaacon's Benjamin Franklin: An American LifeBenjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us, the one who seems made of flesh rather than marble. In this authoritative and engrossing full-scale biography, Walter Isaacson shows how the most fascinating of America's founders helped define our national character.In a sweeping narrative that follows Franklin's life from Boston to Philadelphia to London and Paris and back, Isaacson chronicles the adventures of the spunky runaway apprentice who became, during his 84-year life, America's best writer, inventor, media baron, scientist, diplomat, and business strategist, as well as one of its most practical and ingenious political leaders. He explores the wit behind Poor Richard's Almanac and the wisdom behind the Declaration of Independence, the new nation's alliance with France, the treaty that ended the Revolution, and the compromises that created a near-perfect Constitution.Above all, Isaacson shows how Franklin's unwavering faith in the wisdom of the common citizen and his instinctive appreciation for the possibilities of democracy helped to forge an American national identity based on the virtues and values of its middle class.Obviously, there are hundreds of books on Franklin, and this isn't the end-all be-all offering on the subject. However, given it's availability (nobody should have trouble getting a library or store copy), accessibility (it's written in a clear, straightforward style) and general academic praise (it got thumbs up from some of the other Franklin-related authors nominated), it seemed like a smart choice. However, if you've read other books on Franklin, please feel free to contribute to the discussion by examining their take on specific events. (I know that Redcatlady has volunteered to examine historiographical differences on major issues by posting some short excerpts from other Franklin books she is reading/has read.) Similarly, you don't have to wait on any "official" discussion on a topic to broach it; post here or start your own thread. If you have some Franklin knowledge you think helpful/interesting, you don't have to wait on anyone's OK for it, and if you have a Franklin question, the only way it's getting answered is if you fire away!
FranklinIsaacson
I confess I have read only half of Isaacson's bio so far. But one of the many issues I found of interest was the author's explanation of Ben Franklin's religious views. I mention the topic not to generate a discussion of religion, but as a way of illustrating the complexities of Franklin. When discussing the religious views of the Founding Fathers, there are typically two views of Franklin - those who view him as "godless" and those who view him as a strictly rational Enlightenment deist. Isaacson takes exception to both of these views. He makes a convincing case that Franklin's deism was more complex than many historians are willing to admit. "Unlike most pure deists, he concluded that it was useful (and thus probably correct) to believe that a faith in God should inform our daily actions; but unlike other deists, his faith was devoid of sectarian dogma, burning spirituality, deep soul-searching, or a personal relationship to Christ." (page 85) But even on the earnest topic of religion, Franklin's humor is evident. With a story that any Monty Python fan would appreciate, Franklin skewered the Puritan practices regarding witchcraft. In doing so, he displayed the tolerance and humor that make him one of the more likable Founding Fathers: "He wrote for his newspaper a tale called 'A Witch Trial at Mount Holly,' which was a delightful parody of Puritanical mystical beliefs clashing with scientific experimentation. The accused witches were to be subjected to two tests: weighed on a scale against the Bible, and tossed in the river with hands and feet bound to see if they floated. They agree to submit to these tests - on the condition that two of the accusers take the same test. . . The accused and accusers all succeed in outweighing the Bible. But both of the accused and one of the accusers fail to sink in the river, thus indicting that they are witches. The more intelligent spectators conclude from this that most people naturally float. The others are not so sure, and they resolve to wait until summer when the experiment could be tried with the subjects unclothed." (page 88) Report Abuse to a Moderator

(page 85) You made an interesting comment in the other thread, which I still want to get back to in relation to the thing *I* was planning on writing up today, which I think applies to how I responded to Isaacson's handling of Franklin's religiosity. You were talking about how Isaacson had approached this subject historiographically, kind of summarizing all the major perspectives on Franklin out there, and I think he's doing it here, too. It's an interesting take, and often it seems like his major aim is to try to split the difference by two reasonable approaches he's encountered. In this case, I think it works really well, because Franklin didn't embrace either the personal relationship with Christ, the doctrine of predestination or the gloomy/angry piety of Jonathan Edwards that suggested we're all essentially horrible. In the process, I think Franklin devised a pleasantly and uniquely American progressive theology that bypasses assumptions of either being chosen or damned. It neatly fits into his social conscience as well: that we are all responsible for trying our best to be both productive and moral, and that we should seek to devote those energies to the betterment of both ourselves and others. A kind of salvation by personal work and public works, rationally organized. I think you can probably draw a straight line running from Franklin to the late-19th/early-20th century mainstream progressives who eschewed pieties in favor of inclusive humanitarianism. Hmm, I feel like I'm wandering all over the place with this point.
Monty You made an effective summation of what you termed Franklin's progressive theology. Isaacson said much the same: "He [Franklin] cared more about public behavior than inner piety, and he was more interested in building the City of Man than the City of God." Historians often neglect that crucial point. It is vital in explaining Franklin as the moving force (starting while he was still in his 20s) in the establishment of the Philadelphia fire company, a public library, and the first nonsectarian college in the colonies. It also explains why Franklin never patented his numerous inventions, and freely shared his scientific findings with others. As I finish reading the bio, it should be interesting to see if/how Franklin's progressive instincts shaped his role as a Founding Father. Report Abuse to a Moderator
I read this book a few years ago, and found it well written. It is a nice overview of Franklin without lionizing him. This book does show the essense of the man, with his flaws. I especially like the way Issacson treated Franklins relationship with his "wife". Because they actually never married, she was a common law wife. Also Franklin's relationship with his son and daughter and grandson.MG
You made this post in another thread, and it's something I wanted to get back to:PhilsFolly wrote: Meanwhile, I eagerly await an opening comment/question on the Franklin biography. It's an easy read, but I find it interesting that Isaacson frequently mentions other historians' perspectives with which he disagrees. Well, Isaacson's primarily a journalist, and this is something I've noticed a lot with journalist's histories. Adam Cohen's Nothing to Fear had a similar approach. Now, this isn't to say that Isaacson or Cohen aren't doing any research of their own or are bad analysts, but their overall approach seems to be to jump into a few primary texts and otherwise read a ton of secondary texts and then write a kind of historiographical arbitration. Perhaps a kind of insecurity informs their interpretation (i.e. "I'm not one of the big boys, so I can't throw too many stones or throw them too hard" etc.), where they feel that an absence of really new scholarship among a wealth of archival primary sources kind of pushes them out of the game of having strong opinions about an incident or person. The result tends to be this enumeration of the two or three prevailing interpretations of an event and then an effort at reconciliation amongst them: thesis as triangulation, if you will.I think also the authors' choices inform this approach. Put simply, Isaacson wouldn't be writing about Franklin if he didn't admire him, just as Cohen probably would not have been writing about FDR's inner circle had he not found them striking and laudable. (The journalist-historians as a rule, I've noticed, tend not to write about people they find objectively despicable. For instance, you're never going to see Tom Brokaw's Hitler: A Jerk.) Because they're writers for a popular audience, I think they feel an impulse to transmit the popular attributes (and popularize) someone they esteem. Thus another reason for the effort at reconciling major interpretations. It's as if to say that with one person conceding a bit here and another person conceding a bit there, we can all agree that Franklin was great. I think this struck me most over the course of the book as I was noticing a streak of a kind of dismissive narcissism in Franklin that Isaacson seemed to be at pains to reason away. I'd go into it more, but I'll wait for your reply.
As this is the history book club, I'm sure this is true for most readers. You're browsing the history section of the library or a book store, and you see something on the face or spine of a book that compels you to read the jacket. Perhaps it's the words "Civil War" or "Napoleon Bonaparte" or "Austrian Habsburgs." You feel compelled to buy or check out the book, no matter how many other books you have read on the subject, simply because you hope there will be something new to read. Fans of history are eternal optimists, and we keep reading about our favorite subjects because we want there to be something new. Unfortunately, there is a historical equivalent of the law of diminishing returns. At some point good historical research will exhaust the reputable sources. Certainly,this is pretty much the case with American colonial history for which there is no version of classified documents yet to be declassified. So why do historians keep mining the same vein? Why another biography of Ben Franklin? More to the point, why write a biography which essentially presents no new scholarship, but which ambitiously attempts to rationalize the contradictory nature of Ben Franklin (something other historians have failed to do)? I think Monty covered those issues more effectively than I can. Yes, it is clear that Isaacson admires Franklin. It is clear he hopes his readers will admire Franklin. And to give him credit, perhaps Isaacson believed he could reconcile the major interpretations by presenting his own. But his biography, while well written (and yes, "we can all agree that Franklin was great") did not break new ground, nor did it effectively put to rest the conflicting historical views of Franklin the Man - versus Franklin the Public Figure - versus Franklin as told by Franklin! Two phrases from Monty that I think worthy of discussion: "thesis as triangulation" and "a kind of dismissive narcissism in Franklin." Report Abuse to a Moderator
Phil's, Somehow, despite checking back here multiple times per day, I missed seeing the "last poster in thread" notification with your name by it and mistakenly assumed this thread had gone unreplied-to. I kept thinking, "Where's Phil's?" The answer, as always, is that I'm an idiot. Or there are ghosts in the board code. You ask, "Why do historian's keep mining the same vein?" I think there are multiple reasons, most of them cynical, but some pretty good: 1. Histories, like technologies, always seem more important if there's something new in there. "OK, cool, my phone can play MP3s to me. But now you say I can add any of my MP3s as my ringtone in this new phone? This is the greatest thing ever." Historians, like technology early adopters, are a manipulable fanboyish audience. Even a 500-page retread on Franklin will be a must-have book if 10 of those pages include a really compelling re-interpretation of some aspect about him. Which flows to: 2. Books about Franklin will always sell. Historians like making money, and publishing houses like looking like contributors to culture, so rolling out more Franklin stuff makes everyone happy. If you have one new feature to it, the purchase seems reasonable. No offense to Russians or English, but you just don't get that with, say, Crimean War histories. With some topics, all you need is Shelby Foote or John Keegan or Doris Kearns Goodwin saying something good on the front and three or four Harvard/Yale/Oxford/Cambridge profs saying something good on the back, and you've backed a winner. 3. Though there are probably some 19th century Franklin bios that still hold up, sometimes the language of the culture needs an upgrade. I think we'd both rather read Isaacson than his 1880s counterpart. 4. Our frames of reference change, as do our priorities, as do the analogs that would most illuminate. I think part of the reason Franklin spoke to Isaacson is that — as a CNN executive and a quasi-pioneer of a new form of news (24-hour) — Franklin's nationalizing content and his efforts to reduce lag times between communities in terms of receiving information evoked Franklin as an analog for communication ingenuity. Also, he was writing after the immoderacy of the dot-com boom and amidst the insanity of a housing+mortgage-backed-securities boom. The immoderacy of both made Franklin's commitment to frugality, dislike of the extravagantly wealthy, and promotion of public services for the advancement of a hard-working middle class resonant again with a new audience that had made another leap forward technologically and economically but quite a few backward insensibly. As for "a kind of dismissive narcissism in Franklin," I think Isaacson was far too light-handed with him on that one. Franklin all but ignores his wife for years prior to her death, abandons one son out of either pride or spite, dismisses a grandson when he becomes inconvenient, forgets his daughter and his son-in-law for years until they become useful again, etc., etc. Meanwhile, he goes to great lengths to court other people around him, to take people who aren't essential to his life, who aren't family, and make them like him. It all seems like a very familiar narcissism: the disposability of the certain personal victory compared to the thrill of achieving the difficult one. Family is meaningless: they'll love you anyway, especially sons. But think of the validation of converting a rival to your friendship! In a way, Franklin's constant reinvention of himself and his household reads to me like a person without the confidence and the sure hand that Isaacson assigns to him and rather like someone generally uncertain of the worth of himself and constantly clinging to new tabula rasa validations of himself.

attaboyandy: Review | Zoe Dental Chews
This has been a week of firsts! Not only did Andy pee like a big boy for the first time the other day, he finally encountered an edible item he does not like! I came across these dental chews from a brand called Zoe, which I had never heard of prior to this purchase, while browsing at T.J. Maxx last week. The brand is manufactured by a Canadian company called Hagen - though the product packaging says the chews themselves are made in the USA (?). I'm not gonna lie...I was drawn to the pretty packaging...but ultimately I decided to buy the dental chews for the following reasons: they're made in the USA, they're wheat/corn/soy-free, and they contain all natural ingredients and no artificial preservatives or dyes. At $4.99 for 8.1 oz of chews (approx. 10 small chews) the Zoe treats seemed like a good deal. There were 2 different kinds available; I picked up the "Antioxidant" ones, which are supposed to "support a healthy immune system."
The expression on Andy's face in the photo above pretty much sums up his opinion of these chews. His woeful eyes seem to be saying, "Mom, why did you buy these?" The first time I gave him one he sniffed it while it was still in my hand, took it very hesitantly, then laid it in his bed and refused to even look at it. The chews are vanilla mint flavored, so I suspect that had something to do with it. The funny thing is, when I tried to take the chew away Andy refused to let me have it. In fact he grabbed it and ran to the couch, where he proceeded to just look at it for several more minutes, before begrudgingly consuming it. Andy's initial reaction to the chew was enough to make me decide never to purchase them again, but in addition, as he was gnawing on the chew it kept getting stuck to his teeth. He started tipping his head back in an effort to get it loose, at which point I was afraid he would choke, so I intervened and stuck my finger in his mouth to pop the chew loose. What the heck? Needless to say, I won't be purchasing these chews again. Potential buyers...beware.

Poor little guy! Do you just give the other ones away now that Andy doesn't like them?
attaboyandy November 1, 2012 at 6:01 AM
I'm gonna hold on to them for a while and see if his opinion changes. My main concern is that the chews are a bit of a choking hazard! So...I'll definitely keep a close eye on him when he's eating them.

My mini dachshund loves them and I love the smell that fills the room when he's chewing one, so it's win win.

The official name is to be used when writing about the road in an article; only use the article title in another article if the sentence would otherwise be ambiguous. Never use a colloquial title other than those listed above, unless you are mentioning that it exists in the article.
Official nicknames for highways (i.e. Golden State Freeway, Tri-State Tollway, New Jersey Turnpike) may be used if the DOT uses it. However, colloquial names such as The Loneliest Road in America should not be used.
^ This column should be referred to in the rare case of the same route number repeated on separate segments in the same state. Only endpoint locations should be used. The names of subdivision(s) smaller than a county, borough, or parish may be used if they are well-known or significantly shorter than the county/borough/parish name(s) would be. This should be determined by consensus.
^ Named highways are at <name of road> Highway.
Interstate and U.S. Routes[edit]
The following are systems of national highways maintained by the states which have their numbering assignments made by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).

^ The state name must be added where the route number is repeated in multiple locations. If the segments cover multiple states, use only the terminal state names separated by an en dash (–). In these cases, "Interstate X" should be used as a disambiguation page.
^ The state name must be added where the route number is repeated in multiple locations. If the segments cover multiple states, use only the terminal state names separated by an en dash (–). If the highway is a loop or beltway that passes through more than two states, either all state names, a metro area name, or an alternative name for the road may be used. In all cases of such repetition, "Interstate X" should be used as a disambiguation page.
^ The official AASHTO route logs and documents refer to these highways as "U.S. Route X". However, the term "U.S. Highway X" is used by many states DOTs, and may be used in article prose where this nomenclature is prevalent.

samuel's blog: "the inspirational journey" | samuel's blog: "the inspirational journey" : We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give
If you treat every person you meet as if he or she were the most important person in the world, you’ll communicate that he or she is somebody – to you
Self Image – How You See Yourself. How you see yourself has a tremendous impact on your attitude. Poor self-image and poor attitudes often walk hand in hand. It’s hard to see anything in the world as positive if you see yourself as negative. Dwayne Dyer advises, “Examine the labels you apply to yourself. Every label is a boundary or limit you will not let yourself cross.” If you are having trouble getting where you want to go, the problem may be inside you. If you don’t change your inward feelings about yourself, you will be unable to change your outward actions toward others. – From Book The Difference Maker , John C. Maxwell
Saat Anda menganggap dan melihat diri Anda secara positif artinya Anda sedang bersepakat dengan TUHAN bahwa Anda sanggup.. Amin
The law of Diminishing Intent says, “The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it – John C. Maxwell

However, the food that you have to buy is pretty bad; it's very expensive for what you get! e.g. mash and sausages for dinner! or burgers for lunch; a very bad version of Western food and nothing Fijian, why not!?

Imaging in resectable colorectal liver metastasis patients with or without preoperative chemotherapy: Results of the PROMETEO-01 study — Italian Ministry of Health
Imaging in resectable colorectal liver metastasis patients with or without preoperative chemotherapy: Results of the PROMETEO-01 study
F. L. Rojas Llimpe, F. Di Fabio, G. Ercolani, E. Giampalma, A. Cappelli, C. Serra, P. Castellucci, A. D'Errico, R. Golfieri, A. D. Pinna, C. Pinto
Background:The aim of the PROMETEO-01 Study was to define the diagnostic accuracy of imaging techniques in colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM) patients. Methods:Patients referred to Bologna S. Orsola-Malpighi Hospital performed a computed-tomography scan (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), 18F-FDG-PET/CTscan (PET/CT) and liver contrast-enhanced-ultrasound (CEUS); CEUS was also performed intraoperatively (i-CEUS). Every pathological lesion was compared with imaging data.Results:From December 2007 to August 2010, 84 patients were enrolled. A total of 51 (60.71%) resected patients were eligible for analysis. In the lesion-by-lesion analysis 175 resected lesions were evaluated: 67(38.3%) belonged to upfront resected patients (group-A) and 108 (61.7%) to chemotherapy-pretreated patients (group-B). In all patients the sensitivity of MR proved better than CT (91% vs 82%; P=0.002), CEUS (91 vs 81%; P=0.008) and PET/CT (91% vs 60%; P=0.000), whereas PET/CT showed the lowest sensitivity. In group-A the sensitivity of i-CEUS, MR, CT, CEUS and PET/CT was 98%, 94%, 91%, 84% and 78%, respectively. In group-B the i-CEUS proved equivalent in sensitivity to MR (95% and 90%, respectively, P=0.227) and both were significantly more sensitive than other procedures. The CT sensitivity in group-B was lower than in group-A (77% vs 91%, P=0.024).Conclusions:A thoraco-abdominal CT provides an adequate baseline evaluation and guides judgment as to the resectability of CRCLM patients. In the subset of candidates for induction chemotherapy to increase the chance of liver resection, the most rational approach is to add MR for the staging and restaging of CRCLM.

It’s that time of year again when we look back at the photos and GIFs that went viral over the past 12 months. We did similar year-end round-ups in 2014, 2015, 2016 and I must say that 2017 was even weirder than usual. How so? There were so many fake images swirling around the internet that it was difficult to decide which ones to debunk.
