Within this framework, objective stressors include the patient's physical disabilities, cognitive impairment, and problem behaviors, as well as the type and intensity of care provided. In caregivers, these objective stressors lead to psychological stress and impaired health behaviors, which stimulate physiologic responses resulting in illness and mortality. 2 The effects on the caregiver's health are moderated by individual differences in resources and vulnerabilities, such as socioeconomic status, prior health status, and level of social support. RESEARCH FINDINGS Multiple of 9 less then 100 are : 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99 .

The dominant conceptual model for caregiving assumes that the onset and progression of chronic illness and physical disability are stressful for both the patient and the caregiver. Therefore, the framework of stress-coping models can be used to study caregiving.

Moderating factors. The literature clearly shows that the intensity of caregiving, whether it is mea-sured by the type or the quantity of assistance provided, is associated with the magnitude of health effects. Emerging evidence suggests that other factors, such as the level of patient suffering, may contribute just as much to a health decline in the caregiver. It is important to disentangle the effects of helping from those of other aspects of the caregiving context, such as patient suffering. Historically, open necrosectomy/debridement was the treatment of choice for infected necrosis and symptomatic sterile necrosis. Decades ago, patients with sterile necrosis underwent early debridement that resulted in increased mortality. For this reason, early open debridement for sterile necrosis was abandoned ( 32). However, debridement for sterile necrosis is recommended if associated with gastric outlet obstruction and/or bile duct obstruction. In patients with infected necrosis, it was falsely believed that mortality of infected necrosis was nearly 100% if debridement was not performed urgently ( 53 , 152). In a retrospective review of 53 patients with infected necrosis treated operatively (median time to surgery of 28 days) mortality fell to 22% when necrosectomy necrosis was delayed ( 118). After reviewing 11 studies that included 1,136 patients, the authors found that postponing necrosectomy in stable patients treated with antibiotics alone until 30 days after initial hospital admission is associated with a decreased mortality ( 131).Clinical observation and early empirical research showed that assuming a caregiving role can be stressful and burdensome. 8,9 Caregiving has all the features of a chronic stress experience: It creates physical and psychological strain over extended periods of time, is accompanied by high levels of unpredictability and uncontrollability, has the capacity to create secondary stress in multiple life domains such as work and family relationships, and frequently requires high levels of vigilance. Caregiving fits the formula for chronic stress so well that it is used as a model for studying the health effects of chronic stress. 2 Learning the times tables is a basic numeracy skill and part of your maths education that you will regularly come across when doing calculations in upper years. This means that mastery of these multiplication sums is not only important now, but also in future. You can see the times tables chart and all the tables in sequence, with answers, below times tables grid: For patients undergoing a therapeutic ERCP, three well-studied interventions to decrease the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis, especially severe disease, include: (i) guidewire cannulation, (ii) pancreatic duct stents, and (iii) rectal NSAIDs. Guidewire cannulation (cannulation of the bile duct and pancreatic duct by a guidewire inserted through a catheter) decreases the risk of pancreatitis ( 100) by avoiding hydrostatic injury to the pancreas that may occur with the use of radiocontrast agents. In a study of 400 consecutive patients randomized to contrast or guidewire cannulation, there were no cases of AP in the guidewire group as compared with 8 cases in the contrast group ( P<0.001). A more recent study in 300 patients prospectively randomized to guidewire cannulation compared with conventional contrast injection also found a decrease in post-ERCP pancreatitis in the guidewire group ( 101). However, the reduction in post-ERCP pancreatitis may not be entirely related to guidewire cannulation ( 102) and may have been related to less need for precut sphincterotomy in patients undergoing guidewire cannulation. Regardless, guidewire cannulation compared with conventional contrast cannulation appears to decrease the risk of severe post-ERCP AP ( 103 , 104).

You can think of constants or exact values as having infinitely many significant figures, or at least as many significant figures as the least precise number in your calculation. Use the appropriate number of significant figures when you input exact values in this calculator. In this example you would want to enter 2.00 for the constant value so that it has the same number of significant figures as the radius entry. The resulting answer would be 4.70 which has 3 significant figures. Additional Resources IAP is defined as pancreatitis with no etiology established after initial laboratory (including lipid and calcium level) and imaging tests (transabdominal ultrasound and CT in the appropriate patient) ( 47). In some patients an etiology may eventually be found, yet in others no definite cause is ever established. Patients with IAP should be evaluated at centers of excellence focusing on pancreatic disease, providing advanced endoscopy services and a combined multidisciplinary approach. Although there are limited prospective data that aggressive intravenous hydration can be monitored and/or guided by laboratory markers, the use of hematocrit ( 62), BUN ( 63 , 83), and creatinine ( 72) as surrogate markers for successful hydration has been widely recommended ( 10 , 15 , 52 , 53). Although no firm recommendations regarding absolute numbers can be made at this time, the goal to decrease hematocrit (demonstrating hemodilution) and BUN (increasing renal perfusion) and maintain a normal creatinine during the first day of hospitalization cannot be overemphasized. The pair factors of 108 are the numbers that are multiplied in pairs resulting in an original number. The factors of 108 can be positive or negative. The pair factors of 108 can also be represented in the positive as well as in the negative pair. For example, the factor pair of 108 can be (1, 108) or (-1, -108). If we multiply the negative pair factors of 108, then it results in 108. In this article, we are going to learn the factors of 108 and also get to know about the positive and negative pair factors of 108, and the prime factorization of 108 and solved examples. What are the Factors of 108?AP remains the most common complication of ERCP. Historically, this complication was seen in 5–10% of cases and in 20–40% of certain high-risk procedures ( 50 , 98). Over the past 15 years, the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis has decreased to 2–4% and the risk of severe AP to <1/500 ( 50 , 98). In general, the decrease in post-ERCP AP and severe AP is related to increased recognition of high-risk patients and high-risk procedures in which ERCP should be avoided and the application of appropriate interventions to prevent AP and severe AP ( 50). Factors of 108 are the integers that can divide the original number evenly. There are a total of twelve factors of 108, they are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54 and 108. The first 10 multiples of 9, i.e. the results of 9 times table from 1 to 10 can also be written as: Isolated extrapancreatic necrosis is also included under the term necrotizing pancreatitis. This entity, initially thought to be a nonspecific anatomic finding with no clinical significance, has become better characterized and is associated with adverse outcomes, such as organ failure and persistent organ failure, but these outcomes are less frequent. Extrapancreatic necrosis is more often appreciated during surgery than being identified on imaging studies. Although most radiologists can easily identify pancreatic parenchymal necrosis, in the absence of surgical intervention, extrapancreatic necrosis is appreciated less often ( 7). Predicting severe AP Alcohol-induced pancreatitis often manifests as a spectrum, ranging from discrete episodes of AP to chronic irreversible silent changes. The diagnosis should not be entertained unless a person has a history of over 5 years of heavy alcohol consumption ( 31). “Heavy” alcohol consumption is generally considered to be >50 g per day, but is often much higher ( 32). Clinically evident AP occurs in <5% of heavy drinkers ( 33); thus, there are likely other factors that sensitize individuals to the effects of alcohol, such as genetic factors and tobacco use ( 27 , 33 , 34). Other causes of AP

Fortunately, most gallstones that cause AP readily pass to the duodenum and are lost in the stool ( 92). However in a minority of patients, persistent choledocholithiasis can lead to ongoing pancreatic duct and/or biliary tree obstruction, leading to severe AP and/or cholangitis. Removal of obstructing gallstones from the biliary tree in patients with AP should reduce the risk of developing these complications. A pair of numbers that are multiplied together resulting in an original number 108 is called the pair factors of 108. As discussed earlier, the pair factors of 108 can be represented in positive as well as in negative form. Thus, the positive and negative pair factors of 108 are given below: There have been important changes in the definitions and classification of AP since the Atlanta classification from 1992 ( 5). During the past decade, several limitations have been recognized that led to a working group and web-based consensus revision ( 6). Two distinct phases of AP have now been identified: (i) early (within 1 week), characterized by the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and/or organ failure; and (ii) late (>1 week), characterized by local complications. It is critical to recognize the paramount importance of organ failure in determining disease severity. Local complications are defined as peripancreatic fluid collections, pancreatic and peripancreatic necrosis (sterile or infected), pseudocysts, and walled-off necrosis (sterile or infected). Isolated extrapancreatic necrosis is also included under the term necrotizing pancreatitis; although outcomes like persistent organ failure, infected necrosis, and mortality of this entity are more often seen when compared to interstitial pancreatitis, these complications are more commonly seen in patients with pancreatic parenchymal necrosis ( 7). There is now a third intermediate grade of severity, moderately severe AP, that is characterized by local complications in the absence of persistent organ failure. Patients with moderately severe AP may have transient organ failure, lasting <48 h. Moderately severe AP may also exacerbate underlying comorbid disease but is associated with a low mortality. Severe AP is now defined entirely on the presence of persistent organ failure (defined by a modified Marshall Score) ( 8).

The multiples of 9 are : 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108, 117, 126, 135, 144, 153, 162, 171, 180, 189, 198, 207, 216, 225, 234, 243, 252, 261, 270, 279, 288, 297, 306, 315, 324 ……………… . What are the First 10 Multiples of 9? Before you continue, note that in the problem 108 divided by 9, the numbers are defined as follows: Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (9 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend. Caregiving can also be beneficial, enabling caregivers to feel good about themselves, learn new skills, and strengthen family relationships. Although these guidelines cannot discuss in detail the various methods of debridement, or the comparative effectiveness of each, because of limitations in available data and the focus of this review, several generalizations are important. Regardless of the method employed, minimally invasive approaches require the pancreatic necrosis to become organized ( 54 , 68 , 154 , 155 , 156 , 157). Whereas early in the course of the disease (within the first 7–10 days) pancreatic necrosis is a diffuse solid and/or semisolid inflammatory mass, after ∼4 weeks a fibrous wall develops around the necrosis that makes removal more amenable to open and laproscopic surgery, percutaneous radiologic catheter drainage, and/or endoscopic drainage.

If you use this calculator for the calculation and you mark the "auto-calculate" box, the calculator will read the 2 as one significant figure. Your resulting calculation will be rounded from 4.70 to 5, which is clearly not the correct answer to the diameter calculation d=2r. Although unstable patients with infected necrosis should undergo urgent debridement, current consensus is that the initial management of infected necrosis for patients who are clinically stable should be a course of antibiotics before intervention to allow the inflammatory reaction to become better organized ( 54). If the patient remains ill and the infected necrosis has not resolved, minimally invasive necrosectomy by endoscopic, radiologic, video-assisted retroperitoneal, laparoscopic approach, or combination thereof, or open surgery is recommended once the necrosis is walled-off ( 54 , 153 , 154 , 155 , 156). Minimally invasive management of pancreatic necrosis Many studies show that caregiving causes psychological distress, but virtually none have demonstrated that stress results in physiologic dysregulation, such as increased cortisol secretion or changes in immune function, within individual caregivers over time. Similarly, researchers have not yet demonstrated that such physiologic responses are directly linked to illness outcomes in caregivers. Historically, despite the absence of clinical data, patients with AP were kept NPO (nothing by mouth) to rest the pancreas ( 32). Most guidelines in the past recommended NPO until resolution of pain and some suggested awaiting normalization of pancreatic enzymes or even imaging evidence of resolution of inflammation before resuming oral feedings ( 53). The need to place the pancreas at rest until complete resolution of AP no longer seems imperative. The long-held assumption that the inflamed pancreas requires prolonged rest by fasting does not appear to be supported by laboratory and clinical observation ( 139). Clinical and experimental studies showed that bowel rest is associated with intestinal mucosal atrophy and increased infectious complications because of bacterial translocation from the gut. Multiple studies have shown that patients provided oral feeding early in the course of AP have a shorter hospital stay, decreased infectious complications, decreased morbidity, and decreased mortality ( 117 , 140 , 141 , 142 , 143).In the absence of alcohol or gallstones, caution must be exercised when attributing a possible etiology for AP to another agent or condition. Medications, infectious agents, and metabolic causes such as hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism are rare causes, often falsely identified as causing AP ( 35 , 36 , 37). Although some drugs such as 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine, and DDI (2′,3′-dideoxyinosine) can clearly cause AP, there are limited data supporting most medications as causative agents ( 35). Primary and secondary hypertriglyceridemia can cause AP; however, these account for only 1–4% of cases ( 36). Serum triglycerides should rise above 1,000 mg/dl to be considered the cause of AP ( 38 , 39). A lactescent (milky) serum has been observed in as many as 20% of patients with AP, and therefore a fasting triglyceride level should be re-evaluated 1 month after discharge when hypertriglyceridemia is suspected ( 40). Although most do not, any benign or malignant mass that obstructs the main pancreatic can result in AP. It has been estimated that 5–14% of patients with benign or malignant pancreatobiliary tumors present with apparent IAP ( 41 , 42 , 43). Historically, adenocarcinoma of the pancreas was considered a disease of old age. However, increasingly patients in their 40s—and occasionally younger—are presenting with pancreatic cancer. This entity should be suspected in any patient >40 years of age with idiopathic pancreatitis, especially those with a prolonged or recurrent course ( 27 , 44 , 45). Thus, a contrast-enhanced CT scan or MRI is needed in these patients. A more extensive evaluation including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and/or MRCP may be needed initially or after a recurrent episode of IAP ( 46). Idiopathic AP Based on these studies, it was unclear whether patients with severe AP in the absence of acute cholangitis benefit from early ERCP. Therefore, Folsch et al. ( 95) organized a multicenter study of ERCP in acute biliary pancreatitis that excluded patients most likely to benefit, namely those with a serum bilirubin >5 mg/dl. Thus, patients with acute cholangitis and/or obvious biliary tree obstruction underwent early ERCP and were not included in the study. This study focused on determining the benefit of early ERCP in preventing severe AP in the absence of biliary obstruction. Although this study has been widely criticized for design flaws and the unusually high mortality of patients with mild disease (8% compared with an expected 1%), no benefit in morbidity and/or mortality was seen in patients who underwent early ERCP. From this study, it appears that the benefit of early ERCP is seen in patients with AP complicated by acute cholangitis and biliary tree obstruction, but not severe AP in the absence of acute cholangitis. No, the number 1 is a multiple of 1 itself. 1 is not a multiple of 9. Thus, 1 is a factor of 9 not a multiple. What are the Multiples of 9? The rationale for early aggressive hydration in AP arises from observation of the frequent hypovolemia that occurs from multiple factors affecting patients with AP, including vomiting, reduced oral intake, third spacing of fluids, increased respiratory losses, and diaphoresis. In addition, researchers hypothesize that a combination of microangiopathic effects and edema of the inflamed pancreas decreases blood flow, leading to increased cellular death, necrosis, and ongoing release of pancreatic enzymes activating numerous cascades. Inflammation also increases vascular permeability, leading to increased third space fluid losses and worsening of pancreatic hypoperfusion that leads to increased pancreatic parenchymal necrosis and cell death ( 84). Early aggressive intravenous fluid resuscitation provides micro- and macrocirculatory support to prevent serious complications such as pancreatic necrosis ( 10). The technique of computed tomography guided fine needle aspiration (CT FNA) has proven to be safe, effective, and accurate in distinguishing infected and sterile necrosis ( 53 , 136). As patients with infected necrosis and sterile necrosis may appear similar with leukocytosis, fever, and organ failure ( 137), it is impossible to separate these entities without needle aspiration. Historically, the use of antibiotics is best established in clinically proven pancreatic or extrapancreatic infection, and therefore CT FNA should be considered when an infection is suspected. An immediate review of the Gram stain will often establish a diagnosis. However, it may be prudent to begin antibiotics while awaiting microbiologic confirmation. If culture reports are negative, the antibiotics can be discontinued.
