Early screening of postpartum depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the feasibility of applying the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in hospital, soon after delivery, to identify women at risk of postpartum depression. Methods: The study sample included 278 healthy, married women after an uncomplicated pregnancy: 121 primiparas, 109 multiparas, and 48 mothers of slightly preterm (34-36 weeks) infants. Participants were asked to complete the self-report EPDS and an ad hoc sociodemographic scale in hospital, on day 2 after vaginal delivery or on day 4 after caesarean section. Infant-related data were taken from the medical files. Results: There were significant differences among the groups in all the background variables except education and ethnic origin. No significant difference was observed in the birth-related variables (gestational age, birth weight, infant sex) except type of delivery. Mean scores on the EPDS were similar in the three groups. Scores above the mean ±2SD were documented in 4% of the primiparas, 3% of the multiparas, and 11% of the mothers of slightly preterm infants. These differences were not significant. Variables found to be associated with less or no depression were longer duration of marriage, vaginal delivery, full-term gestation, male infant, and rooming-in. Conclusions: Women with an EPDS score above the mean ±2SD might be at risk for depression and should be carefully followed.

Engagement of general practitioners in falls prevention and referral to occupational therapists

Introduction Falls prevention is a key activity for general practitioners, occupational therapists and other allied health professionals. Despite evidence for multidisciplinary community-based interventions, uptake of falls prevention is variable. General practitioners are crucial in identifying older people at risk of falls and referring for intervention. This research aims to identify the current practice of general practitioners in falls prevention and to identify opportunities for occupational therapists in particular to extend their role in falls prevention in primary care. Method A total of 4000 paper surveys were mailed to randomly selected general practitioners within 209 clinical commissioning groups in England. Online surveys were also distributed via clinical commissioning groups to approximately 3200 general practitioners. Descriptive analysis of the data was undertaken. Results A total of 152 general practitioners responded. More than half indicated they were familiar with the UK guidelines for falls risk screening, but less than a third implemented these. Only 31% routinely asked older people if they had fallen. Whilst 90% identified occupational therapists as providing evidence-based falls prevention, only 74% referred to occupational therapy. Conclusion There are gaps in general practitioners’ falls prevention referral practices to occupational therapists and allied health professionals. Better general practitioner pathways could enhance the quality of falls-prevention care for older people at risk.

Frequência de enteroparasitas e condições socioeconômicas de escolares da cidade de São Marcos-RS

Resumo: O presente estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar a frequencia de parasitas intestinais em escolares do ensino fundamental do municipio de Sao Marcos-RS, no periodo de marco a outubro de 2015. Aplicou-se um questionario sobre conhecimentos e meios de transmissao de parasitoses e sobre condicoes de saneamento basico da cidade; e foram analisadas amostras de fezes, processadas por sedimentacao espontânea, de estudantes da pre-escola a oitava serie, de nove escolas da cidade. Dos 190 escolares que participaram do estudo, a predominância foi do sexo feminino (51,58%) e a idade media foi de 7,99±3,23 anos. Das amostras analisadas 5,79% eram positivas para parasitas, sendo 3,16% de cistos de Entamoeba coli, 1,58% Endolimax nana e 1,05% Giardia lamblia. Sobre os conhecimentos relacionado a parasitas, 73,16% relataram saber da existencia dos parasitas e o que eles causam no individuo e 68,42% conhecem os meios de transmissao, porem 41,58% consideram insuficientes as informacoes disponiveis para a populacao. Referente as condicoes sanitarias as quais estao expostos, 94,21% consomem agua potavel e 64,74% afirmaram ter coleta e tratamento de esgoto. O presente estudo teve baixa frequencia de parasitoses, isso pode ser explicado pelo conhecimento dos responsaveis, pelas condicoes sanitarias favoraveis, e pelo alto percentual (78,95%) de escolares que ja fizeram uso de antiparasitarios.
A longitudinal investigation of changes in medical students’ attitudes toward the elderly

Medical students (N = 117) were surveyed and compared regarding their attitudes toward the elderly on four separate occasions in their medical school careers: (a) a baseline measure before an educational intervention interviewing the elderly in their 1st year, (b) after the intervention, (c) at the end of their 2nd year, and (d) at the end of their 4th year. Results indicated that (a) students whose educational intervention occurred in nursing homes (low independent‐living facilities) showed no significant attitude changes after the intervention, (b) students whose experiences occurred in residential facilities (high independent‐living facilities) did show significantly more positive increases in attitudes immediately after the course, (c) however, by the end of their fourth year, students’ attitudes dropped back to the baseline level. Implications for programs attempting to enhance long‐term attitudinal change in the medical school curriculum are addressed.
Stability constraints on structural and functional neuronal network connectivity

Many constraints on structural and functional cortical network connectivity have been suggested, based on ideas as diverse as minimization of axonal wiring length or volume, minimization of information processing steps, and maximization of complexity. This paper discusses recently suggested roles for static and dynamic network stability in providing further constraints on connectivity. A variety of network types and constraints will be covered, including ones involving purely excitatory, mixed excitatory-inhibitory, and small-world features. Dynamical implications for adaptability of networks and dynamically changing patterns of activity are discussed, with implications for what classes of brain structures are available to be selected by evolution.
Extensive Pneumomediastinum With Subcuaneous Emphysema In A Case Of Olivopontocerebellar Degeneration With Bronchial Asthma

A 35-year old female known to have Olivopontocerebellar degeneration and bronchial asthma was admitted with a severe episode of breathlessness, wheezing and cough along with retrosternal pain. Clinical examination revealed features cosnistent with severe asthma and subcutaneous emphysema of cervical and upper thoracic areas. Radiographic imaging revealed extensive subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium. Treatment of the asthma resulted in rapid recovery of the bronchospasm and resolution of the pneumomediastinum over a period of 2 weeks. Development of chest pain or sudden worsening of asthma in a patient should prompt a search for the appearance of pneumomediastium.
Microwave Detection of Water Pollution in Underground Pipelines

An electromagnetic model is proposed to detect water pollution in underground pipelines. Contaminants present above a certain level in water can be a public health hazard. The contrast in the dielectric constant between contaminated and fresh water is one of the most important parameters to be considered for detecting the presence of pollutants in water. Simulations of frequency response and time domain pulse wave through a multi-layer medium are presented. The complex dielectric permittivity of polluted water has been measured as a function of frequency and analytically represented by Cole-Cole fit model. Water pollution can be detected by observing the variation of the reflection coefficient or reflected signals from unpolluted and polluted water. The experimental set up is described and the procedure followed to obtain an effective permittivity data is outlined. These measurements are, to the best of the author’s knowledge, the first of its kind to be published. Microwave technique discussed in this manuscript for water pollution study is a pioneer technique to detect various pollutants in water.

Spørsmål om legemiddelbruk i de store befolkningsundersøkelsene - fra enkeltspørsmål til full oversikt

En oversikt over legemiddelspørsmålene brukt i ulike helseundersøkelser gjennomført i regi av Statens helseundersøkelser (nå en del av Nasjonalt folkehelseinstitutt) presenteres med fokus på de legemiddelspørsmålene som inngår i helseundersøkelser i nettverket CONOR (COhort of NORway). Spørsmålene om legemiddelbruk i helseundersøkelsene har gjennomgått store forandringer fra 1974 og fram til i dag. Ved de første undersøkelsene ble bare bruk av medikamenter mot høyt blodtrykk kartlagt systematisk. På slutten av 1980-tallet ble spørsmål om andre medikamentgrupper inkludert på tilleggsskjemaer, men bare i begrensete geografiske områder. I Helseundersøkelsen i Hordaland 1997-1999 ble det satt større fokus på bruk av medikamenter. Spørsmål om bruk av legemidler (punktprevalens, preparatnavn) ble inkludert på hovedskjemaet med plass for å liste opp alle medisiner tatt dagen i forveien (inkludert grunn for bruk). Det ble også spurt om legemidlene ble tatt daglig eller ikke. I Helseundersøkelsen i Oslo 2000-2001 ble legemiddelspørsmålene videreutviklet og etablert på hovedskjemaet. Det nye designet består av en kombinasjon av spesifikke spørsmål om ulike legemiddelgrupper kombinert med åpne spørsmål om preparatnavn, diagnose og varighet. Bruk av blodtrykkssenkende og kolesterolsenkende midler ble kartlagt på samme måte som i tidligere studier. Alle helseundersøkelser fra Nasjonalt folkehelseinstitutt etter 2000 har benyttet tilsvarende design på legemiddelspørsmålene.
MoSIFT: Recognizing Human Actions in Surveillance Videos

The goal of this paper is to build robust human action recognition for real world surveillance videos. Local spatio-temporal features around interest points provide compact but descriptive representations for video analysis and motion recognition. Current approaches tend to extend spatial descriptions by adding a temporal component for the appearance descriptor, which only implicitly captures motion information. We propose an algorithm called MoSIFT, which detects interest points and encodes not only their local appearance but also explicitly models local motion. The idea is to detect distinctive local features through local appearance and motion. We construct MoSIFT feature descriptors in the spirit of the well-known SIFT descriptors to be robust to small deformations through grid aggregation. We also introduce a bigram model to construct a correlation between local features to capture the more global structure of actions. The method advances the state of the art result on the KTH dataset to an accuracy of 95.8%. We also applied our approach to 100 hours of surveillance data as part of the TRECVID Event Detection task with very promising results on recognizing human actions in the real world surveillance videos.
Pathomorphology of molar gestation in Zaria

Background: Molar gestations are a source of significant morbidity with increased risk of mortality from their complications if not identified and treated early enough. Objective: This study aims at histologically reviewing and analyzing all cases of molar gestations seen in the Histopathology Department of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria between January 1995 and December 2004, and comparing the findings with other studies done elsewhere. Methods: Cases for this study were identified from the departmental bench book. The relevant request forms, slides and in some cases, tissue paraffin blocks for the study period were retrieved. All cases were stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. The slides were reviewed based on the histological criteria published by Gehrig and Van-Lee. Main findings: Seventy three cases of molar gestations were seen out of which 17 were excluded and 56 were analyzed as follows: Complete hydatidiform mole, 34; Partial hydatidiform mole, 20; Invasive mole, 2. There were 43 cases of choriocarcinoma making 37% of gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTDs) and were exempted from this study. The frequency of Hydatidiform mole was 1: 612 deliveries. The mean age of the patients was 25.7 years and their leading mode of presentation was vaginal bleeding between 11-18 weeks of gestation. Conclusions: Hydatidiform mole was found to be a common problem and the complete type occurred more frequently than the partial type. Niger Med J. Vol. 51, No. 1, Jan. – Mar, 2010: 1 – 4. Key words : Complete Hydatidiform Mole; Partial Hydatidiform Mole; Zaria.
Nursing Students’ Perception of Childhood Lead Poisoning Risk Factors

Background: Adverse effects on health in the environments are no trivial matter. Exposure to lead has had devastating consequences for health, especially for children. The purpose of this study was to investigate nursing students’ perception of childhood lead poisoning risk factors. Methods: This was a quantitative, cross-sectional study with a descriptive design. Data were collected from 85 baccalaureate nursing students in a college situated in Northern Indiana, USA. Results: The top five most agreed upon responses, chipping or peeling paint; learning problems; blood testing; inedible objects; and lead removal, had means greater than 4.18, on a 5-point Likert-type scale, which indicates a high level of agreement. Discussion: Some of the survey statements indicated deficits in nursing students’ knowledge of lead poisoning risk factors requiring further teaching and learning. Conclusions: More education related to childhood lead poisoning risk factors may need to be integrated into courses such as nursing fundamentals, pediatrics, and community health.
Loss of Penumbra by Impaired Oxygen Supply? Decreasing Hemoglobin Levels Predict Infarct Growth after Acute Ischemic Stroke

Background: The association of mortality and poor outcome with reduced levels of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) in patients admitted for ischemic stroke was recently demonstrated. The mechanisms behind this have remained unclear. Aims: Here, we aimed to investigate a putative association between low Hb and Hct levels and infarct growth. Methods: All consecutive patients who received intravenous thrombolysis based on multimodal magnetic resonance imaging during the years 1998–2009 were screened. Laboratory data as well as admission magnetic resonance images and follow-up computed tomography scans of 257 patients were assessed. Overall, data of 100 patients were of sufficient quality and further analyzed. Results: Decrease in Hb and Hct as well as perfusion-weighted imaging volume, mismatch volume, and final infarct size on follow-up computed tomography were associated with infarct growth. A linear regression model revealed Hb decrease (β = 0.23, p = 0.02) to be a predictor of infarct growth, independent of mismatch volume (β = 0.27, p = 0.004) and minimum sodium (β = -0.21, p = 0.03), and adjusted to the non-predicting variables age, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score, maximum leucocytes and C-reactive protein, blood glucose, and Hct decrease. Conclusion: Hb levels that decrease after admission independently predict infarct growth in thrombolyzed stroke patients. The clinical implications of this relationship remain to be investigated.
Focused parathyroidectomy through an open‐lateral approach for treating solitary parathyroid adenoma

Most cases of primary hyperparathyroidism are caused by a solitary parathyroid adenoma. Many patients are now being treated with focused approaches in parathyroidectomy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of focused parathyroidectomy that is performed through an open‐lateral approach under the effect of regional anaesthesia.
Role of Corin in Blood Pressure Regulation in Normotensive and Hypertensive Pregnancy: A Prospective Study

Corin (an atrial natriuretic peptide–converting enzyme) represents a potential biomarker for gestational hypertensive disorders; yet, its role in blood pressure (BP) regulation throughout pregnancy remains unclear. We investigated the time course of change in blood corin content in relation to BP and sympathetic nerve activity throughout pregnancy. Forty-four women (29±0.9 years) participated. Following-term, 23 had low-risk (no personal history of gestational hypertensive disorders) normal pregnancies, 13 had high-risk (personal history of gestational hypertensive disorders) normal pregnancies, and 8 developed gestational hypertension. BP, heart rate, muscle sympathetic nerve activity, and serum corin were measured before pregnancy, during early (4–8 weeks) and late pregnancy (32–36 weeks), and postpartum (6–10 weeks). Overall, compared with prepregnancy, corin remained unchanged during early pregnancy, increased markedly during late pregnancy (P<0.001), and returned to prepregnancy levels postpartum. In women who developed gestational hypertension, the change in corin from early to late pregnancy was greater than those with low-risk normal pregnancies (&Dgr;971±134 versus &Dgr;486±79 pg/mL; P<0.05). Throughout pregnancy, BP and muscle sympathetic nerve activity were augmented in women with gestational hypertension (all P<0.05). Finally, changes in corin from early to late pregnancy were related to all indices of BP (R=0.454–0.551; all P<0.01) in late pregnancy, whereas burst frequency, burst incidence, and total muscle sympathetic nerve activity (R=0.576–0.614; all P<0.001) in early pregnancy were related to changes in corin from early to late pregnancy. Corin plays a unique role in BP regulation throughout normotensive and, especially, hypertensive pregnancy and may represent a promising biomarker for determining women at high risk of adverse pregnancy outcome.
N-acetylcysteine and residual kidney function among end-stage kidney failure

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Preserving residual kidney function (RKF) is an important goal among end-stage kidney failure (ESKF) patients and it has been increasingly incriminated to be important in maintaining fluid balance, removal of middle molecular uremic toxins, nutritional condition and well-being of patients on dialysis. Therefore more attention should be focused on preserving RRF even after patients are started on dialysis Please cite this paper as: Beladi Mousavi SS, Mousavi Movahhed SM, Sabetnia L, Hyati F.
