The selection of the ideal drainage procedure that can be combined with vagotomy has not been determined. The present work attempts to evaluate the effect of three drainage procedures on gastric acid secretion, fat excretion and absorption, when combined with truncal vagotomy. The drainage procedures studied were the Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty, the Finney pyloroplasty or gastroduodenostomy, and the short loop posterior gastrojejunostomy.
For the last several years, in engineering education there has been an emphasis on applications, case studies and problems based education. Much of this work has been devoted to improving individual courses. Our project team has completed a first iteration of curriculum reform which uses applications, woven throughout the engineering curriculum as a means to motivate learning and provide relevance to course work.
