Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Considerations

INTRODUCTION Heparin use is ubiquitous in medicine today. It is used therapeutically in the management of arterial and venous thrombotic processes, such as acute myocardial infarction or deep venous thrombosis, and prophylactically to prevent thrombosis around the time of orthopedic procedures and to prevent prosthetic heart valve thrombosis or stroke in atrial fibrillation. Heparin is bonded to catheters such as pulmonary wedge catheters, and implanted catheters are sometimes flushed with a heparinized solution to prevent clotting. The chance of a significant exposure to heparin exceeds 50% when a patient is admitted to some medical services [1]. The widespread use of heparin exposes patients to the risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), an antibody-mediated syndrome associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Serologically proven HIT occurs in 1.5% to 3% of patients with heparin exposure [2,3]. Paradoxically, the most feared consequence in these patients with a low platelet count is not bleeding but clotting. Arterial or venous thrombosis resulting in myocardial infarction, stroke, deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, or limb ischemia and amputation complicate thrombocytopenia in at least 30% to 40% of cases [2,4,5], with a mortality estimated at approximately 30% [3,4,6] and a long length of hospital stay [3]. HIT is an important condition that is unrecognized by many clinicians. When thrombocytopenia is recognized, the diagnosis of HIT can be difficult to confirm, and until recently there was no therapeutic option other than discontinuation of heparin. Improved understanding of this syndrome increases the need for medical personnel to practice prevention, recognize the signs and symptoms of HIT, and know the treatment options available.

Becoming a music teacher: Korean music student teachers’ perceptions of their student teaching experience

ABSTRACT Student teaching is the culminating field experience in a teacher preparation programme. The purpose of the study was to explore Korean music student teachers’ perceptions of their student teaching experience. To collect data for this study, in-depth interviews, observation, and documents were used. The results of this study showed that during student teaching, participants had authentic teaching experiences, but needed closer collaboration between the university and the teaching context. Korean music student teachers also felt that a community of student teachers helped them grow as professional music teachers; hence student teacher peers may be another important resource for successful student teaching. Finally, they focused on reflective teaching, but specific ideas and strategies to improve their teaching skills were rather vague. Suggestions for future research on music student teaching are provided.

The purpose of this study is to understand the self control that exists in adolescentsregarding resolution and factors. There are two factors that influence self control, namely internal factors and external factors. Internal factors with age and external factors depend on the environment. The use of this paper is to develop a theory of self control and become a reference for future researchers.
Children’s drawings speak a thousand words in their transition to school

Children’s views have often been supplementary to those of adults in research on children’s lives. With growing awareness of the Rights of the Child, children are being engaged as experts in their own lives, that is, young people who have valid perspectives on the things that matter and are important to them. In this study, a draw–write–tell activity was used to capture children’s understandings of transition to school. A Vygotskian view of drawing was adopted, with drawing used as a mediating tool for children to make meaning of experiences and thoughts and express these to others. Children’s drawings and explanatory narratives were thematically analysed in a social constructivist paradigm. Children shared their friendships and feelings about aspects of school and home, and their growing awareness of school life. Drawings were supported as a useful tool for understanding children’s views of transition to school and capturing changes in their feelings, knowledge and independence at this important time.
Examining the Impacts of Intrusive Advising on the Retention and Academic Success of First-Year, At-Risk, Community College Students

As degree completion rates have steadily declined nationwide, colleges are exploring student success initiatives for retention purposes. The intrusive advising approach has shown a positive relationship with retention of students from at-risk populations. The purpose of this study was to determine whether intrusive advisement impacted the retention and academic success of underprepared community college students in their first year. This study took place in a mid-sized, suburban, public community college located in New York State. Using a quantitative methodology, this study examined archival data from the fall 2017 student cohort to determine if intrusive advisement had an impact on educational outcomes through comparison of advised and not advised student groups. The results indicated that there is a statistically significant relationship between intrusive advisement and first semester retention. This is true when examining the results of the t-tests and regression analyses. However, intrusive advisement had no significant relationship with other educational outcomes. The results showed that high school grade point average is the strongest predictor for all educational outcomes. Recommendations for practice include: development of an advisement survey, use of early alert software, budget to accommodate staffing for advisement needs, and colleges partnering with local high schools to provide pathways for college. Additionally, the recommendations for future study include: expanding research to multiple community colleges with differing student populations, examining advisement in multiple semesters of study, including part-time and non-traditional students in the research, including the frequency of advisement students receive, and a qualitative study about student’s experiences with intrusive advisement.

A study of teaching about religions in selected Iowa public high schools

This study investigated public high school teachers perceptions about religions in the curriculum, and practices of public high school teachers when teaching about religions in public high school classrooms. The study used a modified version of the analytical induction model of qualitative research presented by (Bogdan & Biklen, 1982). Three pre-selected high schools in the state of Iowa were identified by the researcher for study. A common departmental structure was used to identify teachers from across the curriculum as participants in the study. The schools were of three different enrollment sizes. Thirty-four teachers who taught 79 different courses made up the sample. The data were collected through personal interviews with each of the subjects. This process was developed by the researcher with consultation from previous interview researchers, members of the researchers committee, and contributors to the literature in the field of teaching about religions. The interview instrument had four major sections: perceptions about religions in the curriculum, the explicit curriculum, the implicit curriculum, and teacher suggestions, problems and training. The data indicated that teachers made a distinction between teaching about religions as an academic study and teaching religion, or indoctrination. The terminology Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. used for teaching about religions was not consistently understood. The social studies area was perceived by all but one teacher as the one area where teaching about religions was appropriate. Teaching about religions was more present in the language arts and social studies areas. Most teaching about religions was by natural inclusion with few specific units of study or classes strictly devoted to teaching about religions. Teaching about religions was somewhat confined to past history. Current events and issues and the effects of religions were ignored by most teachers. Although a variety of materials and methods were used, no references were made to available materials from professional curriculum sources. A hesitancy to include teaching about religions based on potential controversy from some parents or specific churches was a concern on the part of many teachers. Teachers suggested that teaching about religions should be added across the curriculum, remain objective and descriptive, and be included in preservice and inservice teacher training.

An Analysis of Anxiety and Depression on the Patients with Hemodialysis

Objective To investigate the incidence of anxiety and depression on the patients with hemodialysis.Methods Data from Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale of 84 patients with hemodialysis were analyzed.Results Among of 65%(55/84) of patients was anxiety and 87%(73/84) of patients was depression.Raw score of anxiety and the severity index of de-pression were significantly different(P0.05) in different ages of the patients.The extent of anxiety and depression were more serious in the middle-aged and old patients than youth.Conclusion There are high incidences of anxiety and depression in patients with hemodialysis,especially in middle-aged and old patients.
“The interviews were transcribed”, but how? Reflections on management research

Purpose In qualitative research, it is recurrent to conduct data collection through interviews, which must be first transcribed for the data to be analyzed. Although there is a relationship between the stages of the interview and the data analysis, the link between them (i.e. the transcription) seems to be a neglected methodological procedure. This occurs because, in papers, it is generally reported that “the interviews were transcribed”, without any details about the transcriptions conduction. From this methodological gap, this paper aims to discuss the relevance of detailing the methodological procedures adopted in the transcription in research reports in the management field. Design/methodology/approach This paper takes the form of a methodological essay. Findings The discussion focuses on the concepts of naturalized and denaturalized transcription, the relevance of adopting transcription norms and the need for reflexivity in conducting transcriptions – elements that must be explained in research reports to improve the methodological quality. Practical implications This paper explores methodological details that management students and researchers can adopt when performing transcriptions. Consequently, journal editors and reviewers will have more subsidies on the methodological quality employed in researches, which contributes to a better evaluation process. Originality/value This study demonstrates the relevance of a neglected methodological technique – transcription, which needs to be detailed in research reports, to contribute to the increase of methodological accuracy and to provide essential information to readers, allowing them to evaluate the rigor of the research. Thus, it is proposed that transcription should be considered a quality criterion in qualitative research.
Leadership and behavioral integrity in the restaurant industry: the moderating roles of gender

Abstract This study examined the effect of follower’s gender on the relationship between leaders’ enacted behavioral integrity (objective manipulation), follower’s perception of leaders’ behavioral integrity (subjective behavioral integrity), and subsequent trust in the leader. It is proposed that female followers are more sensitive to and have stronger trust reactions to leaders’ behavioral integrity. Data was collected from 257 supervisors working in the restaurant industry using a scenario experiment. Results indicated that females have a stronger perception of the leaders’ behavioral integrity relationship and a stronger trust in the leader than their male counterpart. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings were discussed.
What Motivates Government Doctors in India to Perform Better in their Job?

Objectives: Addressing the issue of poor motivation of Medical Officers (MOs) to join and continue service in rural India is a major challenge faced by the health system. The present study aimed at assessing the driving factors of motivation for MOs working with rural government health centres in India. The study also aimed at finding out the differences in the preferred factors of motivation based on various job-related aspects of the respondents. Methods: The study participants included MOs from Gujarat, India. The study asked the participants to rank 20 factors of motivation (10 intrinsic and 10 extrinsic motivation factors) important for them to continue in their current job. The factors for the study were selected using Herzberg’s two factor theory of motivation and the data was collected with the help of an instrument that has an established reliability and validity. Distribution of ranks of different motivating factors was studied using average ranks assigned by respondents based on different job-related aspects. Average scores were also calculated to see whether the respondents are motivated more by extrinsic factors or by intrinsic factors. Results: The results indicate that ‘job security’ was the most preferred factor of motivation followed by ‘adequate salary’ while, the least preferred factor for motivation was ‘local political interference’. Adequate salary and job security also emerged as the two most important motivation factors for all the three groups of respondents based on number of years of work experience. For Ad hoc MOs, ‘adequate salary’ and ‘interesting work’ were the most important motivation factors while for bonded category of MOs, ‘adequate salary’ and ‘opportunities for promotion’ were the two most important factors for motivation. Conclusion: The current study concludes that MOs motivation to continue with the current job is driven both by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Hence, the health departments and systems need to pay close attention to devising strategies that address both the extrinsic as well as intrinsic factors. However, according to study findings, more attention needs to be paid to providing Job security and better salaries and monetary benefits to MOs. The study results may be useful to health departments and systems to design management strategies that are based on motivational needs of MOs to improve their attraction and retention.

(2019). Disrupting the single story: Challenging dominant trauma narratives through a critical race lens. Traumatology. Advance online publication. http://dx.doi. org/10.1037/trm0000223 The links between individual and structural racism and trauma are insubstantial in the trauma literature. Drawing on a few of the tenets of critical race theory (CRT), the ordinariness of racism, differential racialization, and counterstorytelling narratives, this article provides a brief history of CRT and makes connections between CRT and trauma-informed practices. The authors position CRT as a useful vehicle in more intentionally linking trauma work to discussions of race and racism. They offer a perspective about ways to begin explicit conversations about race, racism, and Whiteness in the context of trauma work. This article addresses a gap in the trauma literature that does not take up racial oppression as a form of “trauma” and ultimately disrupts the trauma narrative by centering race, racism and whiteness.
Taking the test: voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) among midlands state university students

The study examined voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) among Midlands State University students. Probability sampling was used to select the 173 students that took part in the questionnaire survey. Students were selected from each department in the faculties of Arts, Education, Science, Social Sciences and Natural Resources and Agriculture. The majority of students (81.1%) were aged below 25 years and predominantly single (90.2%). Most of the students had heard about VCT but only 28% and 27% of male and female students respectively had taken the HIV/AIDS test before the survey. Among those who had not undergone VCT 87% of male and 91% of female students expressed a willingness to be tested for HIV/AIDS. More male (54%) than female students (43%) would choose to take the test on campus. Fifty-seven percent of male students and 68% of female students who had sex in the 6 months preceding the survey did not use a condom at last sex suggesting a low HIV/AIDS risk perception among students. There is need to invigorate on-campus HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention programmes. The university may need to consider setting up an HIV/AIDS office to make HIV/AIDS prevention programmes more visible and interactive.
The effect of 4+1 planned writing and evaluation model on developing writing skills and writing self-sufficiency levels of learners of Turkish as a foreign language

Language is the most basic tool for communication. There are four basic areas of skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Each skill has a special importance in itself. Therefore, development of all skills will be beneficial for individuals. Writing skill is separated from other skills in that it has permanency. With writing, knowledge transfer could be realized through ages. People used the writing skill at points where oral expression was insufficient. Although writing skill is so important, it is the most challenging skill. This shows that writing skills should be developed with new methods in which students will be more active, rather than with traditional methods. The traditional method gives importance to the product that is produced at the end of the writing process instead of the writing process. However, this method prevents the development of writing skills in students. Nowadays, new methods have emerged out of the traditional method, and these methods gave importance to the process, not to the product. One of the methods that prioritize the process is the 4 + 1 Planned Writing Model. This model aims at the development of the student's writing skills and the active participation of the students in the process. When the fact that even the students whose native language is Turkish have difficulties in writing is considered, it is obvious that writing skill will become even more difficult for students who learn Turkish as a foreign language. These students' alphabets may be different and this may force them to improve their writing skills according to other skills. In these respects, it will be easier for those who learn Turkish as a foreign language to develop their writing skills with 4 + 1 Planned Writing Model. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 4 + 1 Planned Writing Model on the development of writing skills and writing self-sufficiency levels of students. The participants of the study, in which the pre-test post-test empirical model was used, were 12 students who learnt Turkish as a foreign language. The study lasted 10 weeks. In the study, the data related to the development status of students' writing skills were obtained by evaluating the texts written by the students at the beginning and at the end of the study. The data related to the writing self-efficiency were collected by the Writing Self-Efficacy Scale. The statistical analysis of the data was made by SPSS 21.000.
Respectability and rights. Sexual and reproductive health and rights of Sri Lankan women formerly involved in prostitution

ABSTRACT Women in prostitution are often disrespected and subject to health risks. The aim of this study is to explore how women formerly engaged in prostitution in Sri Lanka position themselves in relation to gendered norms of respectability, and to discuss the possible implications for their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with fifteen women formerly engaged in prostitution. Discourse analysis was used to identify and describe interpretative repertoires and four repertoires were identified: Victimhood, Resistance, Responsibility, and Independence. The first three were drawn upon to construct their identities in line with norms of female respectability, as the women emphasised being victims of unfortunate situations, resisting sexual disrespectability and taking responsibility for their children and others. The last repertoire deviated from the respectability norm as it conveyed a picture of the women as independent, strong and courageous subjects, characteristics more in line with male respectability in Sri Lanka. Despite marginalised and oppressive circumstances, the women drew on interpretative repertoires to enhance access to respect, dignity and resources. However, their vulnerability to violence, SRHR risks and virtual absence of rights leave them with little access to resources that could enable a healthier and better life.
Developmental Dyslexia across Languages and Writing Systems: The Big Picture

In this final chapter, we provide our view on some of the main conclusions that can be drawn from the research on developmental dyslexia across languages. The overarching questions concern how our understanding of reading disability benefits from considering a broad array of languages. If there is a universal biological basis of developmental dyslexia, there should be shared observations on reading disability across languages and writing systems. Or, so one might expect. It is possible, however, that observations of differences in the manifestations of dyslexia - whether subtyping within a language (e.g., phonological vs surface dyslexia) or comparisons across languages (e.g., alphabetic vs morphosyllabic) - reflect some unitary cause or combinations of multiple causes.
Video games and health: Sorting science from popular beliefs — Many believe games cause gun violence

When it comes to video games, one fact is indisputable: They are more popular than ever. About 43% of U.S. adults often or sometimes play video games, according to a 2017 study by the Pew Research Center, with 72% of men and 49% of women reporting that they play them on a game console, computer, TV or portable device, including cellphones.
