Second, it is hoped that the Gomo Toma game media can improve the understanding of mathematics concepts for class IIA students in learning mathematics, this is because elementary school students still like to play, so the game approach will be more effective. Third, in the Gomo Tomo game there are competitive, cooperative, and entertainment values. Fourth, there are many positive sides contained in the snake and ladder game, including training in psychomotor development, cognitive, communicative balance so that it is beneficial for the mental development of elementary school age children. 7-12 years This is supported by the opinion of several experts who state how important games are for children. According to Ljublinskaja Games are a reflection of reality, as an initial form of acquiring knowledge. This is also reinforced by Freeman which states that in general, experts agree that playing is an activity that helps children achieve complete development, both physically, intellectually, socially, morally and emotionally. Rofi'uddin  states that the use of forms of games in learning will provide a pleasant climate for students, so that the learning process of students is carried out without coercion, but instead with a sense of harmony. In addition, by playing, students can learn in a relaxed manner. In a relaxed way, students' brain cells can develop, which in the end students can absorb information and get a deep impression of the subject matter. Subject matter can be stored continuously in long-term memory.

Perils of drifting encapsulated embryos of the periwinkle Littorina scutulata from failures at launch and unscheduled landings
Authors: Strathmann RR
Published: December 2022

Unusually for benthic animals, mothers in many species of littorinid snails release drifting egg capsules that experience hazards of either the plankton or seafloor. At a site sheltered from large waves, numerous egg capsules of Littorina scutulata remained in high intertidal pools near mothers, and the embryos died. Mortality was also high for embryos in capsules caught in high intertidal clumps of algae. Capsules in shallow water were at early cleavage stages, indicating exposure to intertidal predators only for the hours of early development. In the laboratory, small intertidal pagurid hermit crabs and grapsid crabs ate capsules, and barnacles captured capsules, though with ingestion uncertain. An anemone and a mussel were not hazards. Embryos in capsules exposed to microbial and physical hazards on submerged sediments suffered little mortality, in contrast to previously observed high mortality at the same site for embryos of an echinoid. Predation rates could not be estimated for any location, but other hazards were less on low intertidal and subtidal sediments than in the high intertidal zone. The number of embryos per capsule and capsule sizes varied within a mother’s spawn, between spawns of mothers of similar size, and with maternal condition. Packaging several embryos in a capsule did not increase sinking speeds much beyond sinking reported for planktonic single unhatched blastulae in other taxa. Some embryos died through failure to launch, but capsules provided low sinking speeds during drift, brief residence in shallow intertidal waters, and protection from microbial and chemical hazards on sediments when sunk.
Aetiology and Outcomes of Thrombocytopenia in Pregnancy: A Cross-Sectional Study in a University Hospital, India
Authors: Hooli Sudha V. , Shah Neelima , Shah Prashant , Suresh Shrradha , Sunil Bali Sukeshani
Published: December 2022

Background: Thrombocytopenia (TCP) is the second most common haematological finding in pregnancy next to anaemia. It carries a risk for both the mother and the fetus, associated with substantial maternal or neonatal morbidity and mortality. However, a specific therapy, if instituted promptly, improves the outcome for affected patients and their offspring. In patients in India, TCP during pregnancy is an underexplored condition.

Objectives: To assess the aetiology of TCP in pregnancy and to assess the maternal outcomes of TCP in pregnancy.

Methodology: The authors included a total of 133 patients in their third trimester (>32 weeks), with a platelet count <149,000 /mm3, admitted to the authors’ institution from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021. Patient-related data such as menstrual and obstetric history, presenting complaints, obstetric examination, and basic investigations were collected in a pre-designed, pre-tested proforma. All cases were followed until delivery to record any maternal complications, or any other morbidities. The data were analysed using SPSS (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, New York, USA) software. χ2 test was used to compare the proportions between the groups. p<0.05 was considered significant.

Results: Overall, 64.7% of patients were in the 18–25 years age group and 49.6% of patients were primigravida. Furthermore, 60.9% of patients were diagnosed to have mild TCP, 32.3% had moderate TCP, and only 6.8% patients had severe TCP. The majority (75.2%) of cases were of gestational TCP. In total, 15.8% of cases had pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH); 3.0% had dengue; 2.3% were COVID-19 positive; 1.5% were diagnosed with haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome; 1.5% had immune TCP; and only one patient had leptospirosis. Four percent of cases had gestational TCP, 9.5% had PIH, one patient (25.0%) had dengue, and both cases of immune TCP had severe TCP. Twenty-eight percent of gestational TCP cases; 47.6% of PIH cases, both cases of haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome; 50.0% of dengue cases; and one COVID-19 positive case (33.0%) had moderate TCP. Finally, 6.25% of patients who underwent lower segment caesarean section had severe TCP, 6.00% of patients who underwent vaginal delivery had severe TCP, and out of two patients who had a spontaneous abortion, one (50.00%) had severe TCP at the time of admission. The association was significant (p<0.05).

Conclusion: TCP is a crucial condition among pregnant patients. Mild TCP is a common type. Correct aetiological diagnosis, and promptly administered adequate and specific therapy are, therefore, essential to significantly improve the outcomes of pregnant patients and their offspring.
Epidemiology, Health Economic Context, and Management of Chronic Kidney Diseases in Low and Middle-Income Countries: The Case of Morocco
Authors: Maoujoud Omar , Cherrah Yahia , Arrayhani Mohammed , Zemraoui Nadir , Dkhissi Hocein , El Kabbaj Driss El , Zouhair Oualim , Filali Karim , Ahid Samir
Published: December 2022

Background: There is a significant emerging burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in low and middle-income countries. Nonetheless, despite these trends, knowledge of CKD epidemiology and management remains incomplete. This review presents a critical analysis and comparison of the current data related to CKD epidemiology in Morocco and an overview of the health economic context of the management of ESRD.

Main text: In Morocco, the demographic transition occurring as a result of urbanisation, population ageing, and the global epidemic of diabetes exposes a growing number of people with CKD who are consuming a significant proportion of healthcare budgets. While the real prevalence of ESRD may be underestimated due to limited access to medical coverage for a fraction of the population, the growing costs in the face of limited resources may shortly compromise the healthcare system.

Conclusion: Based on the available data, the prevalence of CKD may grow during the coming decades, according to the increasing prevalence of its major risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, and older age). Thus, early diagnosis, treatment of the underlying cause, and implementation of preventive measures are fundamental for CKD patients.

Authors: Flavin Kate , Prasad Venkat , Gowrie-Mohan Shanmugasundaram , Vasdev Nikhil
Published: December 2022

The use of robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques has transformed the face of urological surgery in the last decade, with demonstrable benefits over both unassisted laparoscopic and traditional open approaches. For example, robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy is associated with lower morbidity, improved convalescence, reduced postoperative pain, shorter length of hospital stay, and a superior cosmetic result when compared to an open procedure. This review discusses the various perioperative influences on the renal physiology of patients undergoing robotic-assisted urological procedures.
Pregnancy and Peritoneal Dialysis: An Updated Review
Authors: Seong Lim Christopher Thiam , Wah Fuah Kar
Published: December 2022

Women who conceive while receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) are at a high risk of encountering maternal and fetal complications. Although the occurrence of successful pregnancies in women with end-stage renal disease undergoing PD is becoming more common with advancing dialysis technology, women in this population must be monitored by a team of dedicated renal physicians and obstetric teams to ensure the best maternal and fetal outcomes are achieved. Given the haemodynamic advantages of PD over haemodialysis in pregnancy, PD therapy is the favoured renal replacement option in pregnant women with end-stage renal disease. This is particularly true when PD is initiated after conception or if pregnancy occurs within 1 year of starting PD. The management of anaemia, hypertension, dry weight adjustment, and dialysis regimen in a pregnant PD patient will undergo continuous adjustment to maintain haemodynamic and physiologic stability to meet the demands of the pregnancy-associated changes. In this article, the incidence and management of fetal and maternal complications and pregnancy outcomes in women receiving PD are reviewed based on the latest literature available.
Peritonitis in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: The Case for Rapid Diagnosis, Targeted Treatment, and Monitoring to Improve Outcomes
Authors: Chakera Aron , Mulroney Kieran T. , Juin Shak Hui , McGuire Amanda L. , Eberl Matthias , Topley Nicholas
Published: December 2022

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a cost-effective, home-based treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease; however, PD is declining in many countries. A major reason for this is peritonitis, which commonly leads to technique failure and has led to negative perceptions of PD by clinicians and patients. To restore confidence in PD, better diagnostics are required to enable appropriate treatment to be started earlier; this needs to be coupled with improved understanding of the biology of peritonitis. Advances in culture-independent microbiological methods, in particular the use of bacterial flow cytometry and immune fingerprinting techniques, can enable organism detection and antimicrobial susceptibility testing to be performed in as little as 3 hours after samples are received. At the same time, improved understanding of peritoneal mesothelial cell responses to infection is providing insights into pathways that may be targeted to dampen deleterious elementsof the host immune response, promote healing, and preserve membrane function.

Authors: Hesp Blair
Published: December 2022

The symposium reviewed the challenges in providing dialysis to patients with kidney disease and outlined data supporting the effectiveness of home haemodialysis for improving clinical outcomes and patient quality of life. Prof Maria Auxiliadora Bajo opened the symposium by introducing the NxStage® System One™ for home-based dialysis. Dr Natalie Borman discussed the growing global burden of dialysis treatments and the ability of new technologies, such as the NxStage System One, to meet this need. Dr Sunita Nair then reviewed outcomes for patients using home-based dialysis in the Knowledge to Improve Home Dialysis Network in Europe (KIHDNEy) cohort. Prof Eric Goffin outlined the need to manage phosphorus levels in patients undergoing dialysis and compared phosphorus measures in patients undergoing different dialysis modalities. Matthew Herbert and his wife Kay then described their personal experience of using home-based dialysis and the impact this has had on their quality of life.
Alteration of Glycaemic Balance due to Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Mácsai Emília
Published: December 2022

The incidence of diabetes in patient populations requiring dialysis is constantly increasing. Metabolic disturbances in this group need focussed attention, particularly as carbohydrate balance is affected by specific disease-related factors. Beta-cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, and advanced glycation end-product accumulation are increasingly detected in the period preceding dialysis. Glycaemic control is also linked to the health of bone metabolism and control of renal failure-related anaemia. Novel opportunities in the assessment of glucose homeostasis, including continuous glucose monitoring systems, skin autofluorescence, and investigation of the metabolome, have resulted in significant developments in diagnostics and therapy. Regarding antidiabetic control, the major therapeutic goal for patients on haemodialysis (HD) is the alleviation of glycaemic fluctuation during the post-dialytic phase. The periodicity in antidiabetic regimes on HD and non-HD days is the preferable tool. For patients on peritoneal dialysis, the adverse impact of glucose originated from the standard solutions should be counterbalanced. This review focusses on the relationship between diabetes and HD or peritoneal dialysis and provides clinical suggestions to support the planning of individualised therapy. Nowadays, the number of patients with advanced renal failure is increasing. In current medical training, nephrological and diabetic education is separated within the internal curriculum. Thus, an average nephrologist is not trained in diabetic issues that would enable them to control the carbohydrate metabolism of a patient with renal insufficiency at different stages of glomerular filtration rate narrowing, and additionally is not permitted to change the choice of therapy. Conversely, a general diabetologist is not aware of the effects of kidney failure and dialysis on glycaemic control and is not familiar with the technological details of renal replacement therapies: special alterations related to nephrological factors are therefore not taken into account when treating diabetic patients with kidney disease. The article deals with the theoretical and practical issues of this clinical border area, helping the clinician to choose individual treatment for a particular patient. Guidelines for choice of oral and insulin therapy in this patient group, based on clinical experiences and theoretical considerations, are under continuous development, and definitive results are expected in the near future.

Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by an Aedes aegypti mosquito bite that poses a major threat to public health worldwide. While acute kidney injury secondary to dengue infection is a potentially lethal complication, it remains one of the least studied complications of dengue fever. The underlying mechanism of dengue-associated acute kidney injury is complex because it involves multiple pathways that could independently lead to its occurrence. Therefore, the cornerstone of dengue-associated acute kidney injury management should involve prompt recognition and identification of the at-risk population and administration of appropriate supportive treatment in a timely manner with the aim of preventing both renal and non-renal morbidity and mortality.
Interventions for Preventing Infectious Complications in Haemodialysis Patients with Central Venous Catheters

Vascular access is the main risk factor for bacteraemia, hospitalisation, and mortality among haemodialysis (HD) patients. The type of vascular access most associated with bloodstream infection is central venous catheter (CVC). The incidence of catheter-related bacteraemia ranges between 0.50 and 6.18 episodes per 1,000 catheter days and increases linearly with the duration of catheter use. Given the high prevalence of CVC use and its direct association with catheter-related bacteraemia, which adversely impacts morbidity and mortality rates and costs among HD patients, several prevention measures aimed at reducing the rates of CVC-related infections have been proposed and implemented. As a result, many clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses have been conducted to assess the effectiveness, clinical applicability, and long-term adverse effects of such measures. An integrative review was conducted on prophylactic measures against CVC-related infections in HD patients, identifying their potential advantages and limitations. A literature search was performed within multiple databases and meta-analyses on clinical experience with prophylactic antimicrobial therapy in HD CVC were reviewed and appraised.

Informed consent is the approval of a medical action given by the patient or his closest family after receiving a complete explanation of the medical action to be carried out on the patient. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors causing the incomplete filling of the informed consent form at the hospital. The research method uses a literature study. The results showed that the incomplete informed consent filling in the hospital on the components of identification, important reporting, authentication and correct documentation, the factors causing incomplete filling of the informed consent form at the hospital due to lack of human resources due to limited workforce and lack of accuracy of installation officers. medical records so that the quality of the information produced is low and the implementation strategy of filling out a complete informed consent form in the hospital must have policies and SOPs, basically standard operating procedures.

Low breastfeeding is a problem that must be faced together because it can affect children's lives in the future. The lack of exclusive breastfeeding can interfere with child growth and development. Based on several studies in Indonesia, one of the factors that influence the low rate of exclusive breastfeeding is the lack of family support. Exclusive breastfeeding in West Java province in 2018 reached 57.97%. This number is still below the national target (65.16%). Based on the information from the Tasikmalaya City Health Office, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Tasikmalaya City in 2018 reached 69.00%, but has not reached the target. The purpose of this study was to determine the support of husbands, parents, and in-laws in exclusive breastfeeding. This study used a qualitative method of focus group discussions (FGD). This method presented a direct relationship between the researcher and the person providing the information, making it possible to gain insight into the attitudes, motivations and behavior of the target towards the support and barriers to exclusive breastfeeding. There were four informants in this study. The results of this study indicated that the factors that support the success of exclusive breastfeeding in this study were the wishes of the baby's own mother, support from her husband, the baby's grandmother, and health workers who assisted in childbirth.
