Abstract

© 2020 There is increasing interest in protecting, restoring and creating ‘blue carbon’ ecosystems (BCE; mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrasses) to sequester atmospheric CO2-C and thereby contribute to climate change mitigation. While a growing number of countries aspire to report greenhouse gas emission and carbon sequestration changes from these ecosystems under voluntary international reporting requirements, few countries have domestic policy frameworks that specifically support the quantification and financing of carbon emission abatement through BCE management. Australia, as home to approximately 5–11% of global blue carbon stocks, has a substantial interest in the development of blue carbon policy. Here we assess the potential inclusion of blue carbon within Australia's Emissions Reduction Fund, emphasizing issues and approaches that have global relevance. We used a participatory workshop of scientific experts and carbon industry stakeholders to identify blue carbon management actions that would meet the requirements of the Fund. In total, twelve actions were assessed for their greenhouse gas emission abatement potential and the ability to measure abatement reliably, using a combination of available data and qualitative and quantitative methods, including expert knowledge. We identify and discuss the five most relevant and promising activities, encompassing the protection, restoration and creation of mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrasses. On a per area basis, mean abatement intensity of organic carbon (Corg) was highest for the (re)introduction of tidal flow resulting in establishment of mangrove (13–15 Mg Corg ha−1 yr−1) and tidal marsh (6–8 Mg Corg ha−1 yr−1), followed by land use planning for sea-level rise for the creation of new mangrove habitat (8 Mg Corg ha−1 yr−1). The avoided disturbance of existing mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrasses has the twofold benefit of avoiding remineralisation of existing stocks, plus the future annual abatement assoc

Abstract

During the first three years after its introduction to Jamaica, ERCP was performed with high morbidity and poor therapeutic success. This study evaluates the effect of increased case volumes and accrued experience on ERCP outcomes at a tertiary level hospital in Jamaica. We compared all ERCP procedures performed by a single endoscopist over eight years. The data were divided into two groups: Group A included patients who had ERCP performed during the first four years of its use (January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2002). Group B included patients who had ERCP performed during the latter four years of its use (January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2006). Outcomes were compared using Chi square statistics and Fisher's exact tests. Significance was considered present with a two-tailed P value < 0.05 There were 315 ERCPs performed in 299 patients during the study period. 14 patients were excluded from analysis, leaving 301 procedures in 285 patients. There were 79 males and 222 females, with ages ranging from 14 to 94 years (Mean +/-SD: 47 +/-20). There has been a significant increase in case volume over the study periods (1.98 vs 4.29 cases monthly, P Keywords: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, Endoscopic sphincterotomy, Choledocholithiasis, Post-ERCP pancreatitis, Table of Contents Abstract Introduction Method Results Discussion Conclusions References Introduction Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was introduced to Jamaica in 1999.

16. Improving the Quality of Care in Surgery : The Role of Guidelines, Protocols, Checklist and the Multidisciplinary Team

Abstract

Today’s surgical environment is a complex multifaceted one that has eroded the traditional doctor patient relationship. Increasingly a discerning public expects surgery to be efficiently performed and be free of complications. Decisions about choosing a doctor are now data driven and the health system must adapt accordingly in order to attract patients. The streamlining of the patient: treatment: outcome continuum can be made better with the use of various standard operating procedures such as the use of guidelines, protocols and checklists with a multidisciplinary team where all stakeholders are actively engaged. This is especially important in developing countries for the potential savings in lives and finances. Still the need for individualization and good clinical judgment remains. The basis of all our decisions however must be evidence-based, and once applied in the best interest of the patient will benefit health care systems. There is good evidence that this is the case, and the only limitation currently is the lack of more widespread implementation.
