Determinants of patient satisfaction towards inpatient nursing services and its associated factors in, Gamo Gofa Zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia, April 2017

Patient satisfaction is the perception of care received compared with the care expected and patients thereby evaluate the health-care services as well as the providers from their own subjective point of view. Patients provide the best source of accurate information regarding clarity of explanations, helpfulness of information patients are receiving, barriers to obtaining care or the professional’s interpersonal behavior.1
Cultura de segurança do paciente em três hospitais brasileiros com diferentes tipos de gestão

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a cultura de seguranca do paciente e fatores associados em hospitais brasileiros com diferentes tipos de gestao: federal, estadual e privado. O desenho foi observacional transversal. Enviaram-se 1576 questionarios aos profissionais de tres hospitais do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, utilizando o Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture, adaptado para o Brasil, que mede 12 dimensoes da cultura de seguranca. As percepcoes sao descritas atraves de uma nota geral (0 a 10) e dos percentuais de respostas positivas para estimar fortalezas e fragilidades em cada dimensao. A taxa de resposta foi de13,6% (n = 215). A seguranca do paciente teve nota entre 7 e 10, para 78,1% dos respondentes, sendo a maior media das notas apresentada pelo hospital privado (8,32). O tipo de gestao hospitalar, unidade de servico, cargo e quantidade de notificacao de eventos adversos estiveram associados a nota geral da seguranca do paciente (p < 0,001). Apenas o hospital privado apresentou fortalezas nas dimensoes analisadas, enquanto que as fragilidades apareceram em todos os hospitais.
Serum levels of interleukin (IL)-33 in patients with ischemic heart disease

Objective:It has been reported that cytokines play a crucial role in pathogenesis of different diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluated the serum level of IL-33 in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and also clarify its association with traditional risk factors of the disease. Methods:A total of 300 patients with IHD as having acute myocardial infarction (AMI; n=100), unstable angina (UA; n=100) or stable angina (SA; n=100) and 100 sex- and age- matched healthy subjects as control group (n=100) were enrolled to this cross-sectional, case controlled study. Serum samples were collected from all participants and tested for IL-33 by use of ELISA method. Results:The mean serum concentration of IL-33 in AMI (103.3319.29 Pg/ml), SA (157.6033.43 Pg/ml) and UA (122.21 22.26 Pg/ml) was significantly higher than that observed in healthy control (61.857.67 Pg/ml). There was no significant difference between patient with or without certain traditional risk factor including hypertensionve patients, dyslipidemic patients, smokinger, obesity e patients and diabetesic patients in the mean serum level of IL-33. Conclusion:These results showed that the higher serum concentration of IL-33 was associated with IHD. The presence or absence of certain traditional risk factors of IHD did not influence the serum level of cytokines.

Sexual Activity and the Risk of Acute Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection in Premenopausal Women: Implicationsfor Reproductive Health Programming

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is defined as the invasion and multiplication of non-resident pathogenic micro-organisms into the urinary tract, resulting in an inflammatory response in the urothelium, which progresses to overt disease. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are considered one of the most common bacterial infections, and by some authorities the most common globally, accounting for a significant proportion of medical consultations in primary as well as outpatient settings [1,2].
Does the Japanese abacus improve underachieving children's performance in mathematics?

This study reports the results of a pilot mathematics intervention program carried out over a period of 10 weeks, looking at the benefits of using the Japanese abacus with a small group of underperforming Year 1 children in a UK school. It investigates the rate of progress of children who have participated in the abacus sessions against a control group. Standardised tests at preand post-intervention stages are used to examine a number of features of the children’s performance, including computational skills, oral counting, identification of numbers, objects counting and language. The results show that children who participated in the abacus sessions have progressed at an average rate of 40% against the control group of 8%. The intervention group displayed a particularly strong improvement in their computational skills.
Evaluation of publicly available Barrier-Algorithms and Improvement of the Barrier-Operation for large-­scale Cluster-Systems with special Attention on InfiniBand Networks

The MPI Barrier-collective operation, as a part of the MPI-1.1 standard, is extremely important for all parallel applications using it. The latency of this operation increases the application run time and can not be overlaid. Thus, the whole MPI performance can be decreased by unsatisfactory barrier latency. The main goals of this work are to lower the barrier latency for InfiniBand networks by analyzing well known barrier algorithms with regards to their suitability within InfiniBand networks, to enhance the barrier operation by utilizing standard InfiniBand operations as much as possible, and to design a constant time barrier for InfiniBand with special hardware support. This partition into three main steps is retained throughout the whole thesis. The first part evaluates publicly known models and proposes a new more accurate model (LoP) for InfiniBand . All barrier algorithms are evaluated within the well known LogP and this new model. Two new algorithms which promise a better performance have been developed. A constant time barrier integrated into InfiniBand as well as a cheap separate barrier network is proposed in the hardware section. All results have been implemented inside the Open MPI framework. This work led to three new Open MPI collective modules. The first one implements different barrier algorithms which are dynamically benchmarked and selected during the startup phase to maximize the performance. The second one offers a special barrier implementation for InfiniBand with RDMA and performs up to 40% better than the best solution that has been published so far. The third implementation offers a constant time barrier in a separate network, leveraging commodity components, with a latency of only 2. 5μs. All components have their specialty and can be used to enhance the barrier performance significantly.
Brief outline on neurobiology of autistic spectrum disorders (ASD)

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a set of neuro developmental disorders characterized by a lack of social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication which is noticed in the first 3 years of childhood. The distinctive social behaviors include an avoidance of eye contact, fluctuate emotional control and difficulties in understanding the emotions of other people [1,2]. Increase in prevalence of ASD have been reported and higher rate is found in males than females partially the result of changes in DSM diagnostic criteria and younger age of diagnosis, an increase in risk factors cannot be ruled out [3,4]. Crucial role is played by amygdale, prefrontal lobe and nucleus accumbens that is a major component of the limbic system and the affective loop of the cortico-striatothalamo-cortical circuit and their associated deficit cognition reported for impaired social behaviors in ASD patients. Studies have shown a male predominance; ASD affects 2~3 times more males than females [5,6]. ASD is clinically diagnosed on the basis of the presence of its associated non-specific manifestation like individual abilities in intelligence and verbal domains. The onsets of nonspecific manifestation are notices in infants or toddlers such as irritability, passivity, and difficulties with sleeping and eating, followed by delays in language and social involvement [6,7].
Educational Intervention to Increase Parental Knowledge and Acceptance of Pediatric Imaging

Few exposures generate more anxiety to the public than exposure to any type of radiation. Images and stories of affected individuals that agonize due to extreme exposure to ionizing radiation (usually during nuclear facility accidents) have captured the imagination of people since the atomic bomb explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, and have created deep seated fears [1,2]. Over the years the fear of radiation from the mounting use of medical imaging and from reports in the media that dramatize radiological mishaps may have resulted in patients’ hesitation to undergo even the required diagnostic imaging procedures [3]. Currently there is increased awareness among the medical professionals on the importance of effectively communicating radiation risks to the patients so as to help them make informed decisions. Effective dose of radiation exposure is expressed in Sieverts (Sv) based on System International nomenclature and the dose emitted in diagnostic imaging is expressed as milliSieverts (mSv) [4]. Radiation exposure from natural sources such as sun rays and radon gas is a constant part of everyday life. Globally, the average radiation exposure from all sources is approximately 3 mSv/year per person, however natural radiation levels vary by geographic locations [5]. In United States, the average annual radiation exposure to naturally occurring radioactive substances accounts for half of the average annual human exposure, which has been quantified at 3 milliSieverts (mSv). The other half is due to artificial sources of radiation, mainly medical radiography [6].
Pelvic Organ Prolapse in Pregnancy

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com is vaginal birth, which confers a fourto eleven-fold increase in the development of prolapsed [1]. The hypo-estrogenic state of menopause likewise has been identified as a major cause due to the subsequent weakening of the pelvic supports, with the median age of presentation is 61 years old, according to Luber et al. [2]. Other risk factors identified are body mass index, chronic constipation, and lifestyle. Inheritable risk of prolapse is also taken into consideration, as observed in nulliparous sisters of women with prolapsed [3]. A study by Olsen et al in 1997 found that women with normal life expectancy have an 11% chance of undergoing at least one operation for pelvic organ prolapse in their lifetime. In the young adolescent, a congenital anomaly such as collagen defects may be the causative factor of the prolapse.
Comparison of Modified Suture less Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement with Conventional Technique: A Prospective Study

b) We found 23 (46.93%) episodes of peritonitis in conventional group and 6 (12.5%) episodes after modified percutaneous insertion (p value<0.05).

4. The Value of Erythrocytes, Hemoglobin, and Hematocrit of Mice (Mus musculus) Exposed to Cigarette Smoke and Given Red Watermelon Extract (Citrullus vulgaris)

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of red watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) extract to the value of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit of mice (Mus muscullus) exposed to cigarette smoke. This study followed direct complete randomized design by using 12 males’ mice which divided into 4 groups. The treatment group is divided by the negative control group which given 0,5 ml of aquadest, the positive control group which exposed to cigarette smoke and 0,5 ml of aquadest. The treatment group I was exposed to cigarette smoke and given red watermelon extract dose 22 mg/Bw mice. The treatment group II was exposed to cigarette smoke and given red with watermelon extract dose 44 mg/Bw mice. The exposure to cigarette smoke and the given of red watermelon extract were conducted for 30 days. The blood taking was performed on day 31 in the Plexus retroorbital. Furthermore, the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin and hematocrit were calculated. The data were analyzed using ANOVA completely randomized design with SPSS for Windows 16.0. The results of this study showed that the extract of red watermelon for 30 days showed a highly significant effect (P 0.01) to the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit of mice. It is concluded that free radicals contained in the cigarette can cause a hemoglobin desaturation, increased blood viscosity, oxidative stress and red watermelon extract can minimize the damage.
JOURNAL USAGE VERSUS AGE OF JOURNAL

The effective planning of technical libraries would be greatly facilitated if there were some theoretical basis which could be used to predict the probable distribution by titles, and by age of journal, of future journal demand. As a first step, the author has recently developed a general expression for the distribution among journal titles of large groups of journal references. In this present paper a relationship between usage and age of journal is established and the application of this relationship to some library planning problems is illustrated.
An Efficient SS/TDMA Time Slot Assignment Algorithm

This paper presents an efficient time slot assignment algorithm for an SS/TDMA system. The technique utilized in the algorithm is a systematic method of finding distinct representatives from the row sets of a traffic matrix. The assignment efficiency resulting from the algorithm is 100% for any traffic matrix. The number of switching modes generated by the algorithm is bounded by n^{2} - 2n + 2 for an n \times n traffic matrix. The computational procedures are illustrated by an example for the Advanced WESTAR system. Also included in the paper are the computer simulation results on the numbers of required switching modes for various simulated traffic matrices.
[Work process in Family Health Program: the potential of subjectivity of care for reconfiguration of the care model].

This is a study with a qualitative approach that aims to analyze the subjective dimension of the Family Health teams' practices conducted in order to reconfigure the care model, using the work process in health as the fundamental analytical category from the Marxist standpoint. The data gathering tool used was the focus group, applied in 13 Family Health teams in Maceió, Alagoas. Thematic analysis combined with principles of hermeneutics and dialectics was used for treatment and interpretation of the data. The results indicate that the user´s needs identified by the teams are multiple and permeated by a lack of sympathetic care, and that the user repeatedly wishes to be "heard. " The teams show that they are open to the use of soft technologies of compassionate care, although they do not legitimate them as instruments of their work. Clinical knowledge and techniques are prioritized in the work process, which limits the potential of its subjective dimension in order to (re)configure a care model which attends the user´s needs and is sustained by integrated care.

Ocular Drug Distribution and Safety of a Noninvasive Ocular Drug Delivery System of Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate in Rabbit.

PURPOSE To determine the ocular toxicity, systemic exposure, and amounts of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) in ocular tissues after administration of DSP with the Visulex system (DSP-Visulex). METHODS DSP-Visulex was applied onto healthy rabbit eyes. DSP concentrations (4%, 8%, 15%, and 25%) and treatment durations (5, 10, and 20 min) were evaluated for the amounts of DSP in the ocular tissues and in plasma after single administrations of DSP-Visulex. The drug in eye tissues and plasma was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-UV/VIS and by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, respectively. The safety and tolerability were ascertained based on clinical observations and histopathological examinations from repeat weekly DSP-Visulex treatments (4%, 8%, 15%, and 25% for 20 min) for 12 weeks. RESULTS Significant amounts of DSP (ie, higher than 1 μg/g) were found in the anterior chamber, retina-choroid, cornea, vitreous, conjunctiva, and sclera after single applications of DSP-Visulex. The DSP concentrations in the ocular tissues and in plasma increased with increased DSP concentrations in the Visulex applicator and with increased application times. Systemic DSP was rapidly detected. The plasma half-life was 2-3 h. Cmax was 148 and 1,844 ng/mL, and the area under the plasma drug concentration versus time curve (AUC) was 418 and 3,779 ng · h/mL for the low dose (4% DSP-Visulex for 5 min) and the high dose (15% DSP-Visulex for 20 min), respectively. Ocular findings over 12 weeks were mostly conjunctival injection and eye discharge. These were transient and mild. Histopathological examinations indicated the eyes to be normal. CONCLUSIONS DSP can be administered safely and effectively into the rabbit eye with the Visulex system. Treatment duration and DSP concentration are important factors in achieving therapeutic levels. Repeat applications of DSP-Visulex are safe and well tolerated for weekly administrations over 4-12 weeks. DSP-Visulex has clinical potential for the noninvasive treatment of ocular diseases.

INTRODUCTION Physical activity and sleep are major determinants of overall health. According to international recommendations, adolescents should engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity for at least 60 min each day and sleep eight to ten hours each night. The association between physical activity and sleep in adolescents is not well known. The aim of the study was to estimate a) the proportion of Icelandic adolescents that achieves recommended physical activity and sleep, b) if there is an association between physical activity and sleep patterns, and c) sex differences in physical activity and sleep. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 411 adolescents from the 10th grade in six schools in Reykjavik were invited to participate in a cross-sectional study in the spring of 2015. Valid data was obtained from 106 boys and 160 girls. Objective and subjective measures of physical activity and sleep were made by wrist-worn accelerometers and a questionnaire. RESULTS Almost half of the participants fulfilled the physical activity recommendations according to the questionnaire. Although 51.1% reported usually getting enough sleep, only 22.9% achieved the recommended sleep length according to objective assessment. No associations were observed between sleep and subjective physical activity. Girls had higher accelerometer-measured physical activity than boys on non-school days (p<0.01), but weekly averages were not different between sexes. Girls and boys did not differ in subjective or objective measures of sleep. CONCLUSION The behavior of Icelandic adolescents does not reflect recommended amount of sleep and physical activity. Only 22.9% obtained the recommended sleep length and just 11.3% fulfilled recommendations of both sleep and physical activity.
