“…In addition to determining the presence of perforation, CT can also localize the perforation site. The overall accuracy of CT for predicting the site of bowel perforation has been reported to range between 82% and 90% (3, 10, 11). The CT findings of GI tract perforation may be different according to the perforation site, and the various CT findings can help predict the perforation site (3, 5).…”

Gastrointestinal Tract Perforation: MDCT Findings according to the Perforation Sites

Our objective is to describe the characteristic CT findings of gastrointestinal (GI) tract perforations at various levels of the gastrointestinal system. It is beneficial to localize the perforation site as well as to diagnose the presence of bowel perforation for planning the correct surgery. CT has been established as the most valuable imaging technique for identifying the presence, site and cause of the GI tract perforation. The amount and location of extraluminal free air usually differ among various perforation sites. Further, CT findings such as discontinuity of the bowel wall and concentrated free air bubbles in close proximity to the bowel wall can help predict the perforation site. Multidetector CT with the multiplanar reformation images has improved the accuracy of CT for predicting the perforation sites.

To identify and describe the major features of unenhanced computed tomography (CT) images of blunt hollow viscera and/or mesenteric injury (BHVI/MI) and to determine the value of unenhanced CT in the diagnosis of BHVI/MI.This retrospective study included 151 patients who underwent unenhanced CT before laparotomy for blunt abdominal trauma between January 2011 and December 2013. According to surgical observations, patients were classified as having BHVI/MI (n = 73) or not (n = 78). Sensitivity, specificity, P values, and likelihood ratios were calculated by comparing CT findings between the 2 groups.Six significant CT findings (P < 0.05) for BHVI/MI were identified and their sensitivity and specificity values determined, as follows: bowel wall thickening (39.7%, 96.2%), mesentery thickening (46.6%, 88.5%), mesenteric fat infiltration (12.3%, 98.7%), peritoneal fat infiltration (31.5%, 87.1%), parietal peritoneum thickening (30.1%, 85.9%), and intra- or retro-peritoneal air (34.2%, 96.2%).Unenhanced CT scan was useful as an initial assessment tool for BHVI/MI after blunt abdominal trauma. Six key features on CT were correlated with BHVI/MI.

Customer loyalty is an important issue for business enterprises to improve their market performance. It can be defined as the outcome of a customer's belief in a particular company and customer satisfaction with the company's products or/and services. Business enterprises can make strategic marketing decisions by using customer loyalty levels and manage customer relations. This research will mainly focus on determination of loyalty criteria. The second objective of the research is to prioritize the criteria set. In the proposed model, fuzzy multi-criteria decision making approaches consisting of fuzzy analytic network process and fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory methods were used to determine the customer loyalty level. A case study has been conducted in a small-medium enterprise to improve the understanding of how companies establish a customer selection strategy with customer loyalty degree. The results from this study indicate that "resistance to change", "purchase frequency" and "switching cost" are the most important criteria to determine customer loyalty.
