Our room was cleaned each day. We had a nice balcony, overlooking the garden and we could see the sea. The hostel is extremely close to the beach as well, which is awesome! It is 2 mins walk to the beach and 3 mins walk to the shops, restaurants etc. It takes an hour on the bus to get to Oia, but honestly, Perissa has everything you need.

Just a few metres from the beach (maybe a 2-minute walk), near to restaurants, shops and ATM, a 30-minute bus trip to Fira and easy connection to Oia.

Object-oriented hyperbolic solver on 2D-unstructured meshes applied to the shallow water equations
posted on 2007-02-28, 09:50 authored by Atmanand JhaFluid dynamics, like other physical sciences, is divided into theoretical and experimental
branches. However, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is third branch of Fluid
dynamics, which has aspects of both the previous two branches. CFD is a supplement
rather than a replacement to the experiment or theory. It turns a computer into a
virtual laboratory, providing insight, foresight, return on investment and cost savings1.
This work is a step toward an approach that realise a new and effective way of developing
these CFD models.

Munah Bagharib's top places to visit on New Zealand's South Island
"New Zealand is beautiful. To me, it's just complete perfection."
Local personality Munah Bagharib spent a week in New Zealand in November last year to film an episode for Mediacorp Okto's newest travel series, MissAdventures, with co-host Carla Dunareanu.
During the trip, the two ventured across the 12 km Franz Josef Glacier, located on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island.
They also visited "adventure capital of the world", Queenstown, where they tried out extreme activities including white water rafting, skydiving and also riding the craziest swing in the world
Munah shares with M her must-do list for adventurers who want to explore and have fun on the South Island.
One of the highlights of Munah's trip was having the chance to skydive from an altitude of 15,000 ft (4600 m) at a speed of up to 200km/h, above the alpine resort of Queenstown,
"Skydiving has been on my bucket list for the longest time," said Munah.
What made the experience even better was her "really cute instructor", Nick (see picture below).
"He was so handsome. I got a bit distracted while he was showing me the view," she said with a gleeful smile.
Munah and Carla both did a tandem skydive - where one is connected to an instructor via a harness during the entire experience - guided by the professionals at NZONE Skydive.
"The experience was magical. The view was crazy. The lakes were crystal clear and the snow-capped mountains were beautiful."
"It was something I never imagined I'd experience."
To get a better view of Queenstown, Munah's advice is to travel to the top of Bob's Peak - you can do this either by hiking up the Tiki Trail or board the Skyline Gondola, a kind of cable car.
"When you stand at the top of Bob's Peak, you get a beautiful view of Queenstown: the town, the beautiful blue Lake Wakatipu, and vast mountains," described Munah.
"I just stood there for the longest time. Though it was freezing, the view was worth it and beyond magnificent. You can really just stand there and watch the world go by, plus the air was so fresh!"
At the top, there are fun activities for kids and adults like riding on the Skyline Luge and the Ledge Bungy and Ledge Swing.
At night, you can sit back and enjoy the nightly Haka performances or just stargaze into the beautiful night sky.
If you need a break from the thrills of Queenstown, Munah recommends exploring Walter Peak and going to the country farm.
"We took the TSS Earnslaw — a vintage 1912 steamship — to visit the Walter Peak High Country Farm.
"I thought the steamship was just for show and was actually a normal mechanical ship. But they really had boys like abang abang (older brothers in Malay) shoveling in the coal,"said Munah.
After crossing the picturesque Lake Wakatipu and passing The Remarkables mountain range that lies along its southeastern edge, visitors will arrive at Walter Peak Country Farm, which is open all year round for visitors who want to experience life at a farm.
"The colours were so vibrant. You'll feel like you just stepped into a fairytale.
"At the farm you can see sheep, cattle and even llamas. The animals will come crowding around you.
"It felt really nice to be back with nature."
At the top of Munah's to-do list for thrill seekers is the heart-stopping Nevis Swing.
"Adrenaline junkies, you have, have, have to do the Nevis Swing if you go to New Zealand, if not, at least bungee jumping. If you can, do both. On the same day. One after the other and then do them again," she said.
The swing currently holds the title for the World's Biggest Swing. It is suspended 160 m above the rugged Nevis River and swings 300 m out into the open at speeds of up to 125 km/h.
"If you think bungee jumping is crazy, you have yet to try this swing," said Munah.
"My favourite part of the swing is that you can go on it in any position that you want.
"You can choose to sit normally, like on a normal swing, backwards, upside down, upside down and backwards, alone or with a friend!
"I sat in the normal position with Carla, but if I do go back, I'll definitely try upside down facing the back.
"Free falling 120 m down and swinging out into the open totally took my breathe away."
Munah says that her experiences in Queenstown are something that she will definitely not forget.
"There are so many other things to do in Queenstown. Visiting once is not enough. You'll have to stay for at least a month or keep going back again."
Catch MissAdventures, premiering 10.30pm on Feb 10 on Okto.
Now that you've got your New Zealand itinerary sorted, it's time to turn your attention to some of the less exciting bits about travelling - packing and dealing with other tourists!
Munah's advice on ... dealing with unruly passengers in the plane
There's the passenger in front who reclines his seat back abruptly, taking you by surprise, and sometimes ruining your meal time.
And there's also the passenger at the back who presses their in-flight monitor so aggressively you get a headache.
What you are supposed to do is tell the passenger, as politely and civil as possible, to stop.
If it doesn't work, that's when you can start calling for help to avoid fights.
Munah's advice on ... how to get to the washroom when you're stuck in the window seat and your fellow passenger is sleeping
Try to wake the person up as politely as possible.
If the person is out cold and you really have to go, prepare to go into ninja mode!
Just make sure you do it as swiftly and as quick as possible to avoid any awkward situations!
Last but not least, you should aim to be as prepared as possible for your trip - what should you bring to prepare for insect bites, trekking and any other physical activity.

Can the World Monuments Fund Save Moscow's Iconic Shukhov Tower?
It is threatened by development, as well as corrosion.
It is threatened by development, as well as corrosion.
The Shukhov Tower, once a radio broadcast facility and initially meant to soar to twice the height of the Eiffel Tower, has earned a spot on the World Monuments Fund (WMF)'s 2016 Watch List. Activists have been rallying to save the nearly 100-year-old landmark from the encroachments of real estate development. Corrosion threatens the structure's integrity.
Other sites named to the list include the National Art Schools, in Havana, Cuba, the modernist architecture of Tokyo's Tsukiji district, and the Church of São Cristóvão, in Lisbon.
Named for its designer, Vladimir Shukhov (1853-1939), the steel tower stands over 500 feet tall, less than half the original planned height; a steel shortage during the Russian Civil War halted its rise. Commissioned by Vladimir Lenin, the tower's structure involves six stacked hyperboloids. From this tower came the first radio and television signals broadcast in Soviet Russia, and the signals continued until 2002, according to the WMF.
The city issued a conservation order in 2014, according to Art in America, which reports that the monument's design has inspired architects including Pritzker Prize winner Norman Foster—specifically his 30 St Mary Axe "Gherkin" Tower in London. After real estate agents studied the possibility of disassembling and moving the structure, international architects, including Tadao Ando, Elizabeth Diller, and Rem Koolhaas, petitioned Russian President Vladimir Putin to protect it.

News Category: Environmental
By Hiya Shah
On March 30, 2019, 188 countries and territories spoke up for our Mother Earth– by the simple flick of a switch. Earth Hour was an event from 8:30- 9:30 p.m. for us — yes, everyone– to speak up for the drastic effects of light pollution on our planet. The organization hopes to increase the number of participating countries each year. Check out Earth Hour's website for more information.According to an article written by Nadia Drake for National Geographic on April 3rd, 2019, light bulbs have stolen the night. Excess light endangers ecosystems by harming dark-reliant animals. In addition, we are losing our connections with the night sky and stars: the constellations, the awe, and the stillness. As of now, 83% of the world population lives under light-polluted skies.
Light polluted skies are not static in effect to the area directly below. In fact, artificial light traces from bright places like Las Vegas have far-reaching effects 40 miles away. Furthermore, only 20% of the light from street lamps is actually useful to use. The rest is reflected upward or as a glare.
After an earthquake resulted in a power outage in Los Angeles (1994), citizens were shocked to see a mysterious "cloud" appear overhead. What they didn't know was that the weird object was a band of the Milky Way, obstructed from the glare of city lights.
Earth Hour's actions are necessary, and so are yours. We are the first generation to advocate for Earth's protection, but we may also be the last. Simple actions can make a lasting difference: turn off the light when not in the room, replace outdoor lights with low-glare alternatives, and talk to local representatives about what else you can do. You have a voice. Use it.

Whole ear earring wrap in handmade silver (E0211)
The earrings are a part of our "leaf" collection. All the leaves are hand-cut from a thin silver sheet and hammered on surface to create leaf grain pattern. Leaves were then soldered one to another to create the final shape of the earring, which can be worn as a single piece or in combination with a single small leaf stud on the other ear. The earring sits behind the ear so it is also suitable for who does not have pierced ear lobes. We created several different earrings, as well as brooches in the same series.
Our silver products are created in 95-98% Silver which is typical of the Thai Karen hill-tribe artisans, who have been using traditional tools and techniques for centuries. The Karen are a group of ethnic peoples who reside primarily in southern and southeastern Burma and in northern and north-eastern Thailand. Thai and Burmese hill tribes can be traced back to the 12th century when they are said to have originated from Tibet.
With a higher silver content than sterling silver, Karen silver has a weight, bright satin color and feel, all of its own. Every piece is handmade and individual.
We send all our packages with tracking number for safer shipping.

On Wednesday, 18th September, 1861, the Presbyterian Free Church in Salford was occupied. As on the preceding night, there was a good many anxious souls; at the close, nearly the whole congregation remained for conversation. The scene was now most solemn. In every part of the church were to be seen anxious persons weeping over their sins and asking what they must do to be saved. A soldier stood up and modestly declared what great things God had done for his soul; how at one of these meetings he was brought to see the error of his way and to flee to Jesus; and now he was rejoicing in a covenant Saviour. Another soldier also rose up and urged his mates to turn at once to the Lord. Many were melted to tears by the simple story of redeeming love as told by these men and by others in the meeting. The vestry and school room also filled with anxious enquirers and not a few seemed that night to pass from death unto to life. Mr Reginald Radcliffe has been greatly encouraged by the signs of awakening in Manchester.
From, 'The Revival', Volume v, 5th October 1861.
I do not know where this church was.

This is also a leading root cause of fallen short relationships in Ukraine.
Despite Ukrainian girls' s want to become liked, maintained as well as appreciated, that partnership dynamic is actually toughto locate withregional males.

This is weird I mean, why would fear bring me here to this website and waken up from this world and have psychic abilities? I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure it out myself, but I Can't find the answer.
You see, I was in my biology class when I was a freshman in high school. People were talking about a creepy website they were joking around about it. I, became very curious to this website and decided to check it out on YouTube that night.
Things became unexpected when I went to see those videos.
I was really scared. As expected from someone who is new to this website. But this is not what I expected.
My veins stop flowing and became cold, my skin turn pale white like snow, my heart exploded with huge amounts blood flowing to my veins for a short time, and my brain became cold with sharp shocks coming from the system that shock my brain completely. And my lungs were breathless.
After that weird things began to happen. I gain psychic abilities, I didn't know what it was so I became frighten from this stuff. I saw images of the beings on that website and I kept seeing them in the corner of my eye. As time passed by my abilities grew weaker and weaker.
Anyways that's the end of my experience I had for two years. I have done a lot of research and gave it up. I'm tired of looking through fake information online. I need an explanation to what was that all about and how did fear me got me into this? Thank you for reading this, cause this took me a while to figure it out whether or not I should post this online.
Thank you

These Cheap Area Rugs Don't Look Cheap, and They All Cost Under $200
As more of us ditch the carpeted floors in favor of more modern hardwood, vinyl and laminate designs, we're also scoping out an increased number of area rugs. Not only do colorful area rugs warm up a space and add a touch of personality to a room, but they can also pull furniture together, make a space look polished and keep your feet warm on those cooler days.
The best area rugs don't have to break the bank. If you're looking for some cheaper options that suit your budget, there are plenty of online retailers that offer a vast selection of sizes, makes, patterns, colors and designs. Whether you're decking out a front entrance, adding warmth under a table, throwing one down in your living room or warming up a bedroom space, area rugs work in pretty much all rooms of the house.
Today's Top Deals
There are a few things to keep in mind when you're shopping for the best area rug for your home:
Size – Trust us, you don't want a rug that's too big or too small. Always (always, always) measure the room you're going to throw your rug in to ensure the proper fit. And if you're a visual learner like us, consider taping the floor with painter's tape just to ensure it truly is a match.
Pile – This just means how thick the rug is. Area rugs typically vary from 0.5 inches to two inches. Anything above that will probably look too thick and out of place in your home.
Material – Most area rugs are made from polypropylene (a synthetic material) or a blended fabric such as Chenille-Polyester. Both tend to be durable and help bring that overall cost down. Meanwhile, the back of area rugs typically come with an anti-slip agent like latex, ensuring your rug remains in place and that it doesn't become a tripping hazard.
Is It Washable? – Today, washable rugs are becoming the norm, but if this is important to you, then double-check the product description before purchasing. If you love the idea of throwing your rugs in the washing machine, then head to Ruggable.
Where are the best places to buy cheap area rugs? Fortunately, you have no shortage of options. The SPY team has purchased and loved rugs from a number of popular online retailers and even some under-the-radar brands. You can find a bunch of area rugs under $200 on sites like Amazon, Wayfair and Ikea.

The "Pasos Pequenitos" Day Care Center in Honduras, gives young, single parents the opportunity to complete their education. While their children are cared for in a safe and loving environment, they can finish the high school education, get an upper education or go to university.
Honduras is one of the most violent countries in the world. Crime, poverty and insecurity are commonplace for many families. The prices for food and even for water are impossible to pay for the majority of the population. For young mothers who are completely on their own, it is therefore particularly difficult to secure the living for their family. Out of necessity, many families send their children to work to help feeding the family.
The young single parents of the day-care center "Pasos Pequenitos" come from very poor, partly dangerous neighborhoods. In order to give them the opportunity to care for themselves and their children in the future, there is an urgent need to support them. In the day-care center "Pasos Pequenitos", 20 children between the ages of one and six, are cared for everyday. The center is open daily from 7:30 am to 7 pm, during which time the children are given three freshly prepared meals.
PEN PAPER PEACE stands for education. Symbolically speaking, pen and paper improve the lives of people who live in poverty. We are convinced that education creates perspectives, gives courage and is the prerequisite for a self-responsible future. Socially, education creates the conditions for security, political stability and a fair society. Education creates peace.

An accessible analysis of the new forms of work whose seismic changes will increasingly determine the future of capitalism
Automation and the decline in industrial employment have lead to rising fears of a workless future. But what happens when your work itself is the thing that will make your job obsolete?
In the past few years, online crowdworking platforms – like Amazon's Mechanical Turk and Clickworker – have become an increasingly important source of work, particularly for those in the Global South. Here, small tasks are assigned to people online, and are often used to train algorithms to spot patterns, patterns through machine learning those same algorithms will then be able to spot more effectively than humans. Used for everything from the mechanics of self-driving cars to Google image search, this is an increasingly powerful part of the digital ecomomy. But what happens to work when it makes itself obsolete. In this stimulating work that blends political economy, studies of contemporary work, and speculations on the future of capitalism, Phil Jones looks at what this often murky and hidden form of labour looks like, and what it says about the state of global capitalism.

The British government has defended its use of an advisor who, by endorsing a radical cleric, supported the execution of Christian mother Asia Bibi.
What did the advisor say?
In 2017, Communities Department advisor Qari Asim penned a Facebook post that demonstrated his solidarity with radical cleric Khadim Rizvi. Rivzi is the founding chairman of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan, a fanatical Islamic political party that called for Bibi to be hung, even after she was acquitted of bogus blasphemy charges.
After Bibi's acquittal in October, thousands of radical islamists took to the streets of Pakistan and demanded that the mother-of-five be put to death.
During the period, Asim described the protesters as "peaceful demonstrators," and noted that they had a "democratic right to ask the government to expose people who have tried to amend the constitution" — presumably referring to the Supreme Court j
What did the government say?
The British government has jumped to the defense of Asim, claiming that
he "did not intend that publication to be an endorsement of Rizvi and so took the article down."
According to the Daily Mail, on Sunday, Asim replaced the post "with one calling for tolerance for all."
Asim is involved with the Communities Department's Working Group on Anti-Muslim Hatred, advising the government on how to tackle Islamophobia.
The UK government has been widely criticized for its handling of an asylum request filed by Asia Bibi and her family, with some claiming that Prime Minister Theresa May personally blocked the application because she feared reprisals from the British Muslim community.
Bibi remains holed up at an undisclosed location the port city of Karachi, despite being acquitted by the Pakistan Supreme Court last October. While her husband is with her, Bibi's children now reside in Canada after being granted asylum.
What is the background?
Bibi was initially arrested back in 2009 after supposedly entering into an argument with a group of women about a source of drinking water. The Islamist women accused Bibi of drinking from the same tap as them, to which Bibi allegedly responded, "Jesus Christ died for my sins. What did the prophet Muhammad do for you?" a remark which they believed offended their revered religious figure.
However, in the Supreme Court's final judgment, it declared that the two sisters who accused Bibi "had no regard for the truth," before adding that "the said semi-literate young sisters had a reason to level allegations against the appellant which could be untrue." The landmark judgment also noted that the prosecution's presented evidence "was nothing short of concoction incarnate." According to the highest court in Pakistan, the entire case against Bibi was built on lies.
"Her conviction is set aside and she is to be relieved forthwith if not required in other charges," said Chief Justice Saqib Nisar in the astonishingly bold ruling, as reported by The Guardian.

As already written on my twitter, we did reach the Skyarrow Bridge around lunchtime. But we were not crossing it right away… There were more and more tracks of the Oshawott we were following for a few days! I just had to get one before we headed over to Castelia City!
The tracks led us to a small grove nearby. Behind it we found a paradise for water/land Pokémon! A beautiful lake, an imposing waterfall, many water plants and berry bushes – easy said I would go there too if I was an Oshawott! Expect that…
There was a really bad smell in the air!
We walked along the coast of the lake, still following the tracks of the Oshawott. The bad stench got wore with each step we took. I had Torny out next to me. I really felt sorry for him with his extremely sensitive nose and asked if it wants to go back into his PokéBall but it refused.
We reached a group of bushed that blocked the way. We looked for a way around them but on one side was the lake and the other even more and thicker bushes. The tracks of the Oshawott turned left of us into the water, showing us that they did swim around them. We could've done that too but we were pretty dirty from the journey and didn't want to soil the water. There was just one way, right through the bushes.
We stepped closer and suddenly could hear that there was something behind! Loud noise and sounds of an ongoing battle could be heard. Torny and I squeezed us past the branches. The noise became louder and louder.
Suddenly we were out of the bushes and nearly fell over from the loss of resistance. But then nearly fell back into the bushes again from the extreme stench that came into our way. And finally we knew the cause of all that!
There were about five Oshawott battling a really big Trubbish! The Oshawott stood in between the Trubbish and the lake. It looked like they were trying to protect the lake from it. Probably the Trubbish wanted to take a bath in the lake. But if such a Pokémon went in there… I don't really want to think about what happened to the clear water and the paradise.
Torny and I gave us a small nod and attacked the Trubbish from the side! Neither the Oshawott nor the Trubbish did expect such an attack and so the Trubbish got hit really badly by a quick-attack of my Torny. Because we were still inside the forest, we could not use any fire-attack to not damage the trees. I ran over to the Oshawott and positioned myself in front of them to show that I want to protect the lake just like they do.
Torny meanwhile thought a really hard fight with the Trubbish. Its Toxic Spikes and Acid Spray attacks were really strong and a problem for Torny due to its size and the limited amount of space. Luckily we did already fight such a Trubbish not too long ago at a school outside of Striaton City. We could use that knowledge to regain the upper hand in the fight. Finally an accurate Swift attack of Torny brought the Trubbish down. I took out a PokéBall and trow it at the Trubbish… it wiggled… and was caught!
The Oshawott did not seem to believe what just happened because they did just stand there for a few moments without a reaction. Then suddenly they jumped at me and Torny with loud screams of joy and happiness! We were the heroes of the day XD
I explained to them why I actually came here but then saw that they were in big trouble and just had to help. Then I asked if one of them wanted to come with me, of course only if I could catch it in a battle.
One of the Oshawott which was at the side looked over to me and gestured that it wanted to battle.
I remembered that it was the one that stood in the middle when they did protect the lake when we arrived here. But I also noticed that it was the only one not jumping at us but lingering to the side and just looking over the group.
Another hot battle started and I must say, that Oshawott had some really strong moves. Plus the fact that it could use its water attacks at a lake against my fire-Pokémon which was unable to use fire at that place was even more a bonus to its strength. However it seemed like it sometimes did seem like it made some mistakes in its attacks on purpose so that Torny could land some pretty nice hits. I'm unsure if Torny noticed it. I'll ask him later…
One last attack of Torny brought the Oshawott to its knees and I quickly grabbed a ball and threw it…
Torny and I were really happy that we got the Oshawott we were looking for. But the other ones around looked sad that their fellow member got caught. Quickly I did call the Oshawott back out of its PokéBall before it was send away ~ I already possessed six Pokémon ~ that made the ball of the Trubbish disappear and me keeping the Oshawott in the team.
My new team member did talk to the other Oshawott in the round. I don't know what he said but I saw in the eyes of the others that it must have been something sad but also good because in the end all of them were smiling and laughing again.
We made our way back to the bridge. the Oshawott did wave farewell to his fellow members which escorted us all the way back here. The group of Oshawott waved back at us and then turned around and went back to the lake laughing again.
Our new team member looked really sad that it had to leave them. But my Torny always seems to find the best words in such situations. He said something to the the Oshawott that made it suddenly seem a lot happier. I smiled at Torny and at our new partner.
That's alway the hard part that I don't really like too much. To take a wild Pokémon out of it's family, place, group where it lived for so long. So I always try to make sure that they want to come with me on their own will if they are connected to something of that sort.
We then did cross the Skyarrow Bridge together and entered the HUGE Castelia City. In the middle of the bridge I had to take Oshawott back into its PokéBall. It was so tired that it wanted to take a rest. Also Torny thought that that was a good idea and disappeared in his ball… I was the only one that had to keep walking D:
Actually it's always better if Torny is in his ball when we enter a new city. Because Typhlosion don't live in these places and trainer like me are rare which bring one with 'em, we always take a lot of attention on us. And I don't want my tired Torny to be bugged too much.
Right now I'm here in the Pokémon Center of Castelia City resting from the journey and writing this text here. My Pokémon are with Nurse Joy and her Audino. Also I did ask Professor Juniper if Trubbish was all right and she confirmed me already that everything is okay. My Munna Somni is taking good care of the Pokémon I send over and she was pretty amazed by the size (and the smell) of that Trubbish… XD
This weekend I will take a goood rest and take a look around the city with my Pokémon. It really looks like an interesting place with a lot to see and experience ^^

You can start your own channel on YouTube, and if you find it hard for you to make your own channel and get more followers and viewers, you can turn it into an online tutor. It would help if you chose the subject you are specialized in and can teach more efficiently. For instance, if you are good at English and have a TEFL certification you can easily teach it to others, you can use your talent to earn money.
4. Get Involved in Fun Activities to Earn Decent Money
Like other job opportunities, there are several fun things that one can do to earn decent money. For instance, you can start a beauty salon; it is also considered a creative job. The days are long gone when only women used to go to beauty salons now males are equally interested in maintaining themselves. The other fun job is to give tattoos to others. For a tattoo job, you can visit Prinker to shop for the items that help you to get the tattoo job done.
5. Online Surveys
Your opinion on different things can be valued more than you think. Unlimited companies pay a decent amount of money to learn about their target audiences' preferences and motivations. This job needs time investment since you are doing it from home; you can take online surveys over breakfast or dinner or when you have a free moment in the day or even you can perform this job when you are sleepless.
I am an Author and what makes me the one is my ability of playing with the words. I also enjoy writing poetry and engaging my audience in my words. I have written for many websites and eBook and gained a good response.

Effects of chewing gum against postoperative ileus after pancreaticoduodenectomy – a randomized controlled trial
BMC Research Notes volume 8, Article number: 37 (2015)
Postoperative ileus is common after surgery. One non-pharmacological intervention that has shown promising results in reducing the duration of postoperative ileus is chewing gum after surgery. However, this has not been investigated in upper gastrointestinal surgery such as pancreatic surgery. Hence the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chewing gum treatment on patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy ad modum whipple due to pancreatic or periampullary cancer.
This study was conducted as a phase III trial that was terminated early. Patients diagnosed with pancreatic tumours scheduled for pancreaticoduodenectomy ad modum whipple were included. The treatment group received chewing gum postoperatively and standard care. Controls received glucose solution and standard care. Chewing gum and glucose were used four times a day during the whole hospital stay. Time to first flatus and stool was defined as the primary outcome. The secondary outcome was start with clear liquids, start with liquid diet and length of hospital stay.
No statistically significant differences could be observed between the chewing gum intervention group and the control group. However, a numerical difference in mean time was observed in first flatus, first stool, start of clear fluids, and start of liquid diet and length of hospital stay in favour of the intervention group.
Although this study did not find statistically significant differences favouring the use of chewing gum for postoperative ileus, a positive trend was observed of a reduction of the impact of postoperative ileus among patients after pancreatic surgery. It also contributes valuable methodological experience that is important for future studies of chewing gum interventions during recovery after pancreatic surgery.
Trial registration
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02319512, publication date 2014-12-17.
Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common phenomenon after abdominal surgery. POI is the interval between surgery and passage of flatus/stool and tolerance of oral diet and prolonged POI is defined as "two or more of nausea/vomiting, inability to tolerate oral diet over 24 h, absence of flatus over 24 h, distention and radiologic confirmation on or after day 4 postoperatively without prior resolution" [1]. The main reason is considered to involve several factors such as: blocked extra cerebral signaling and the sympathic nervous system, inflammatory response (both local and systemic), and endocronological and hormonal effects [2]. Common symptoms of POI are vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain. Due to the high incidence of POI, it is considered a normal postoperative reaction [3]. However, prolonged POI results in an extended hospital stay and greater symptom burden for the patient [4].
Several strategies and interventions have been tested to prevent or reduce POI, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological. One of these strategies is gum chewing. Beneficial results have been shown in previous studies after urological, colorectal, gynecological and liver surgery [3,5]. These studies describe significantly reduced time to the first postoperative bowel movement [6-10], first flatus [6-11] and stool and shorter hospital stay after using chewing gum. Two meta-analyses [12,13] also describe beneficial effects on recovery after surgery. A possible mechanism for these results may be sham-feeding as a gastrointestinal response to neural and endocrine influence equivalent to that of eating but without the passage of food or fluid to the stomach.
Even though several studies have shown beneficial effects on recovery after different types of surgery, no study has yet investigated the effect of chewing gum treatment on recovery after major upper gastric surgery. Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is considered a major surgical intervention with a high risk of prolonged POI and delayed gastric emptying (DGE). For this reason, the aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effects of chewing gum treatment on patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy ad modum whipple due to pancreatic or periampullary cancer.
This study was conducted as a phase III randomized, controlled, trial at a university hospital in Sweden. Patients diagnosed with pancreatic or periamullary cancer and scheduled to undergo pancreaticoduodencectomy ad modum Whipple with a panceraticogastrostomy and roux-en-y loop were included. Inclusion criteria were: understand and speak Swedish, no diagnosed neurological injuries or diseases affecting the ability to swallow or gastric function, no ongoing treatment for mental disease, no ongoing abuse of alcohol or other drugs, no previously known allergies to the contents of chewing gum. Primary outcomes were time to flatus/stool and secondary outcomes were length of hospital stay and start of clear liquids and fluid diet. Primary and secondary outcomes were assessed though patient records.
Participants were included on the day of admission, which was the day prior to surgery. Randomization to the two groups (1:1) was done when patients returned from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the ward. This procedure was chosen in order to avoid perioperative drop-outs due to inoperable tumors. A personnel from an independent institution not involved in the study administered pre-coded numbered, identical opaque envelopes to assign to the groups. A computer generated random table was used. The treatment group received chewing gum and standard care. Controls received standard care and sips of glucose, in total 3.6 g/day in a 12-ml mixture per day, the same amount of glucose per day as the treatment group received via the chewing gum. The chewing gum used was Chiza™, a natural organic gum whose main ingredients are latex, glucose and natural flavors (lime or spearmint). Patients started to chew after they returned from the ICU the day after surgery. Chewing gum was administered every fourth hour (08.00-12.00, 12.00-16.00 and 16.00-20.00). During each four-hour period, patients chewed two pieces of gum for 30 minutes. Chewing gum was used during the whole hospital stay. The time to the first postoperative flatulence and defecation was recorded, in addition to standard clinical data, by the first and the second authors.
Patients were monitored postoperatively at the ICU for 24 hours before returning to the surgical ward. All patients received a nasogastric tube perioperatively with cautious suction, which was kept for seven days. All patients received continuous thoracic epidural infusion of Bupivacain 1 mg/ml, Fentanyl 2 mg/ml and Adrenaline 2 mg/ml as an analgesic combined with intravenous paracetamol four times a day; all patients received a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) during the entire hospital stay and somastostatin for seven days postoperatively. When the nasogastric tube was removed, patients were allowed to start drinking a limited amount of clear liquids and later liquid foods (e.g. soups) and easily digested foods (e.g. fish). During fasting, patients received parenteral nutrition of glucose and Smofkabiven™ based on individual needs. Blood glucose levels were tested every fourth to sixth hour during the first postoperative week. When fluids could be tolerated, the epidural analgesia was converted to orally administered analgesia (Oxycodone and Paracetamol) until discharge based on the individual needs of the patient.
A standardized care plan focusing on rehabilitation, patient education, psychosocial needs and monitoring signs and symptoms was used in the postoperative nursing care to ensure equal and evidence based care.
Statistical power was calculated on the basis of results of the study by Add-El-Maeboud et al. [6] in which the mean value of time to the first flatulence was 17.9 h in the treatment group and 24.4 h in the control group. With a power of 80% and a level of significance of 0.05, 18 patients were needed in each group. As the variables were not normally distributed, comparisons between the groups were analyzed with non-parametric tests, the Mann Whitney U test and Chi 2 test. The statistically significant p value was set at <0.05.
Due to a radical change in postoperative care as well as surgical technique, adopting the ERAS protocol for pancreaticoduodenectomy [14], the study was terminated in advance as this change in care procedures differed extensively from the previous strategies, e.g. removal of the nasogastric tube much earlier in the postoperative phase and not using parenteral nutrition support as patients were allowed to start oral intake much earlier.
Of 65 eligible patients, 51 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Of the 65 eligible, 14 declined to participate for various reasons, e.g. not using chewing gum in their everyday life or difficulties coping with the postoperative situation in general and finding participation in a clinical study too much to deal with. A further 23 dropped out because of non resectable or additional surgery because of postoperative bleeding. The remaining 28 patients were randomized to the treatment group or the control group by opaque, sealed envelopes prepared by one person at the department who was independent of the study (Figure 1). Demographic data are presented in Table 1.
Of the total of 28 patients, 14 were randomized to the intervention group and 14 to the control group. Seven patients in the intervention group chose to discontinue participation in the study versus four in the control group (Figure 1). The majority of those discontinued participation because of postoperative symptoms such as pain, nausea or fatigue.
Of the remaining patients, there was a numerical difference in mean time to first flatus, first defecation, start of clear fluids, start of liquid diet and length of hospital stay in favour of the intervention group, although not strong enough to be statistically significant (Table 2).
No side effects of chewing were recorded.
This is the first study of postoperative chewing gum to show a reduction of POI in major upper gastric surgery. Previous research has focused primarily on colon surgery with beneficial results on the duration of POI. Conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with chewing gum in this patient group was associated with several difficulties, as demonstrated in the consort flow diagram (Figure 1). Fourteen potential participants declined participation. Reasons for being non participants were not registered; however almost 30% of the patients willing to participate were excluded because of advanced disease or a need of more extensive surgery, e.g. a total pancreatectomy, or were found to have advanced tumour growth, resulting in focusing on bypassing the tumour rather than removing it. Despite comprehensive preoperative screening, there is a risk of metastasis or vessel overgrowth not being detected by a CT scan, and some patients may therefore "slip" through the screening process only to be found to have an advanced disease that is detected perioperatively.
In this study, the mean time to first flatus and defecation was shorter in the intervention group, although the difference was not significant. This was also seen in the time to start intake of clear fluids and a liquid diet. While the hospital stay has been observed to be shorter, this study did not demonstrate any significant differences between the two groups. This may be related to the small number of participants and to the type of surgery and the impact on the patient's ability to cope physically and mentally with its consequences for everyday life, not only to POI. Length of hospital stay was used as one outcome variable. However, in this type of surgery, there is a major risk of postoperative complications that may increase the length of the hospital stay.
A power analysis based on the results of the current study with 80% power and a significance level of 0.05 reveals that 37 patients per group is sufficient to show a significant change between groups concerning length of hospital stay, 46 for time to first flatus, 53 for start of clear fluids and liquid food and 160 patients per group for time to first defecation. Based on the results of this reverse power analysis, this study ought to be considered a preliminary report, and larger prospective trials are needed.
Patients randomized to the intervention group were affected by symptoms related to surgery such as pain, nausea or fatigue affecting their ability to tolerate the intervention. The use of a nasogastric tube with active suction for seven days was also demanding for the patients, further reducing their ability to cope. We also noted the importance of choosing the optimal chewing gum, considering texture, and of offering different flavours. Here, we used a biodynamic manufactured chewing gum containing glucose and not a sugar free alternative. This chewing gum had a somewhat different texture, and this might not appeal to everyone's taste, thus resulting in drop-outs from the study. In the future it is important to focus on symptom management and to make the intervention as least intrusive as possible. While all the patients were very positive and interested in participating in our study, some were not able to continue participation because of their postoperative symptoms such as nausea, pain and fatigue.
Even though this study does not demonstrate significant differences between the groups, it does indicate a positive trend of reducing the POI impact among patients after pancreatic surgery. It also contributes valuable experience for further studies on chewing gum interventions during recovery after pancreatic surgery.
This study was approved by The Regional Ethical Review Board of Gothenburg, Sweden, Dnr:886–11. The patients participated in the trial after written and verbal information was given and their written consent was obtained.
