    Abstract Delayed post-operative spinal epidural haematoma (DPSEH) is diagnosed when the onset of symptoms is more than three days from the index surgery. DPSEH is a rare but serious complication of spinal surgery. Missed diagnosis will result in irreversible neurological deficit which may lead to permanent disabilities. We report two cases of DPSEH who presented with worsening neurological deficit four days after the index surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the presence of an epidural haematoma compressing the spinal cord. Surgical evacuation of haematoma were performed for both patients. Both patients experienced neurological improvement. Surgeons should have high index of suspicion to identify delayed onset of spinal epidural haematoma (SEH) and timely intervention should be taken to avoid irreversible neurological damage.

    Abstract In an earlier paper, a descriptive ex post study to assess the adoption and farm level impacts of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) in the Philippines was conducted covering the top three producing provinces: Region 2 (Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino); Region 3 (Nueva Ecija and Pampanga); and Region 4 (Laguna and Batangas). This paper focuses on Region 4 and takes a closer look and more in depth analysis of the tilapia cage culture operations in Lakes Sampaloc and Palakpakin in Laguna, and Laurel and Agoncillo in Taal Lake, Batangas. The technical efficiencies of the culture operations were estimated using translog stochastic frontier production function and the statistically significant factors affecting technical inefficiency were determined. Comparisons were made according to the four strain groups identified in the previous study: GIFT, GIFT-derived, non-GIFT and unspecified tilapia strains. In all four study areas, deviations from the frontier production functions were practically due to technical inefficiency. Thus, the strategy to improve their productivity is to address the factors that have been identified in their respective technical inefficiency functions.

    Abstract The main purpose of applying Frontier and technical efficiency analyses in fish culture is to improve efficiencies of fish farmers in their operation. The effectivity of this analytical tool will depend on how much efficiency can be improved or how much inefficiency can be eliminated given the underlying culture technology applied. This paper aims to present the implication of frontier and efficiency analysis on fishpen culture operation in Laguna de Bay. The profile of fishpen culture operation in the area of study is presented as well as the major issues in the operation including pollution and water quality issues and conflict with capture fishery. The various economic benefits from the existing Laguna de Bay milkfish industry are enumerated. The concepts of frontier version 4.1 and the stochastic production/productivity function are discussed. Moreover, both the technical efficiency and inefficiency of fish farmers in relation to productivity are emphasized. The implication of the frontier and technical efficiency analysis on the fishpen culture operation in Laguna de Bay points out the need for the existing culture technology to shift from extensive to intensive culture system. The major direct benefits would be an improvement in both productivity and profitability. Howver, the quality of fish, vis-a-vis human consumption and the usual lake water quality analysis must be continuously done and monitored. The quality of fish must be assured first before producing them efficiently and profitably.
