BALANCED SCORECARD : A STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT TOOL

ABSTRACT
The success of any organization is reflected upon by its performance which is in turn highly dependent upon its strategies. In this era of cut-throat competition, what an organisation requires is not just framing the right strategies, but also managing the same. The impact of the right strategies will automatically be reflected in the results. Moreover, any organisation has to understand that it needs to give impetus not only towards the financial results but also towards satisfaction of the customers, development of state-of-the-art technologies and creation of an environment of learning and growth. The Balanced Scorecard is such an innovative tool which has considered not just the financial indices but also the non-financial indicators as equally critical in determining organizational performance. This tool brings a link between strategy and action. Due to these, the framework is gaining increasing importance among different business houses.

SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF CONSTRICTIVE PERICARDITIS

SUMMARY

Background: Constrictive pericarditis is a disease characterized by marked thickening and dense scarring of the pericardium with pericardial sac obliteration, or calcification of the pericardium. Without treatment this disease is characterized by high morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To review the surgical management of constructive pericarditis and the post operative challenges.

Methods: Eleven patients who had pericardiectomy for constructive pericarditis between 2000 and 2005 were studied. Data was obtained from the operating theatre register, histopathological reports and patient’s case notes.

Results: The mean age was 33 years with a range of 14 to 53 years. There were seven males (63.6%) and four females (36.4%). Seven (63.6%) out of the eleven patients operated were treated for pulmonary tuberculosis. The cause of pericardial constriction in four patients (36.4%) was undetermined. Follow up period was between 4-59 months. The mean follow up was 17.5 months. Seven patients (63.6%) were off diuretics and had no exercise intolerance. Patients were classified using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) n (NYHA) functional and therapeutic classification in class I-V. Two patients preoperatively in class III are now in class I after surgery on low dose diuretics. One patient who had calcific constrictive pericarditis and came in class III was now in class II with diuretics after 3 years of follow up. There was no postoperative mortality. One patient was lost to follow up.

Conclusion: Pericardiectomy is a useful procedure for constrictive pericarditis and was beneficial to all the patients in this study with an improvement in their functional capacity. Intensive peri-operative monitoring and management reduced morbidity and mortality.

Keywords: Constrictive pericarditis, pericardiectomy, pericardium

Intensive Data Management in Parallel Systems: A Survey

Abstract.
In this paper we identify and discuss issues that are relevant to the design and usage of databases handling massive amounts of data in parallel environments. The issues that are tackled include the placement of the data in the memory, file systems, concurrent access to data, effects on query processing, and the implications of specific machine architectures. Since not all parameters are tractable in rigorous analysis, results of performance and bench-marking studies are highlighted for several systems.
