Published: January 2022

Hoy en día el uso de la tecnología y específicamente los sistemas de información están cada vez más inmersos los diferentes aspectos de nuestras vidas. Uno de esos aspectos es la educación donde las instituciones educativas y los docentes usan diferentes programas con la finalidad de reforzar las clases presenciales mediante el uso de tecnologías digitales. Este tipo de tecnologías se conocen como entornos virtuales de aprendizaje y están soportados mediante sistemas de gestión de contenidos de aprendizaje que se encargan de facilitar a los docentes de las herramientas y recursos necesarios para planificar las clases online. En internet existen diferentes alternativas de código abierto y distribución gratuita, sin embargo, estas aplicaciones no cumplen al 100% con las expectativas de los usuarios y genera malestar y muchas veces se dan de baja. En el CECIBEB 14 de Abril se implementó un sistema de gestión de tutorías denominado SyTutor mediante el cual los docentes solicitan la aprobación de sus tutorías y complementar la enseñanza de las aulas mediante el uso del aplicativo. De manera similar los estudiantes con el uso de la aplicación mejoran sus conocimientos y destrezas mediante el uso de las tecnologías digitales. El desarrollo de la aplicación fue utilizando la metodología RUP en combinación con el enfoque del Diseño Centrado en los Usuarios, además se utilizó el framework Java Server Faces junto con la biblioteca de interfaz enriquecida Primefaces.

Published: January 2022

Muy a menudo los directivos de las instituciones de educación se centran en la elaboración de sílabos, materiales educativos, actualización de mallas curriculares, trámites administrativos, remodelación de la infraestructura física y tecnológica, el bienestar estudiantil entre otros, sin embargo, dejan de lado el bienestar de los docentes, siendo los docentes el capital humano el cual es recurso más importante. Los docentes están expuestos a un trabajo de inestabilidad laboral por el contrato anual, a un nombramiento con baja remuneración, la convivencia diaria en aula con más de 35 estudiantes y con estudiantes inclusivos. La diferencia de edades entre estudiantes y docentes. La diferencia de necesidades entre docentes y estudiantes con diversidad cultural. La desmotivación laboral, la resistencia al cambio y el escepticismo de parte del docente adulto mayor basado en su experiencia. Así como también la súbita obligatoriedad del uso de tecnologías de la información y comunicación para la enseñanza debido a la pandemia generada por el COVID-19 hicieron que surgiera la necesidad de responder la pregunta de investigación ¿Qué factores influyen en el bienestar del docente? Para responder a dicha pregunta se utilizó como punto de partida un análisis teórico relacionado a los factores que influyen en el bienestar docente. Así como también una investigación documental no exhaustiva de artículos científicos relacionados al bienestar docente. Llegando a tener las siguientes conclusiones El estrés laboral es consecuencia de la fuerte magnitud del trabajo, cansancio emocional, reformas educativas. El malestar docente está en incremento. No obstante, lo critico es que hay maestros que no presentan reflexión de las circunstancias en la que se hallan y continúan trabajando y no buscan ayuda externa o interna para hallar una solución. Síndrome de Burnout También es un factor que se presenta en gran parte de los docentes afectando directamente

Authors: Włodarczyk Janusz , Obarski Piotr , Hauer Łukasz
Published: January 2022

AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of our study is to present the results of surgical treatment of patients with cervical diverticula of the oesophagus in a period of 20 years.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 65 patients treated between 2000 and 2020. Patients with symptoms such as dysphagia, vomiting, chocking, recurrent respiratory tract inflammation, as well as patients with diverticular recurrence or poor outcome of primary surgery, were qualified for surgical resection of the oesophageal diverticulum with myotomy using an open technique. Patients were evaluated for the degree of dysphagia before and after surgery, associated perioperative complications, and overall comfort after surgical treatment.
RESULTS: Sixty-five patients underwent surgical treatment, 7(10.7%) of whom were treated for diverticular recurrence or poor outcome of primary treatment. The predominant symptom was dysphagia, which was found in 55(84.6%) patients, increasing over 6 to 48 months with a mean of 17.6 months. The size of the diverticulum ranged from 2 to 6 cm with a mean of 4.8 cm. One patient (1.5%) who experienced the suture line leak was treated conservatively and the fistula healed. Another patient had permanent vocal cord damage, and 1(1.5%) patient had transient damage. The surgical outcome was very good in 48 patients, good in 15 patients, and poor in 2 patients. No postoperative death occurred.
CONCLUSIONS: The technique of open resection with myotomy continues to be an effective method of treating cervical diverticula. It has a zero-mortality rate, low perioperative complication rate, good functional outcome, and low recurrence rate.

Authors: Antonio Nadja , Fornazin Marcelo , Araujo Renata , Santos Rodrigo
Published: January 2022

O Programa Bolsa Família é um dos maiores programas de transferência de renda do mundo. Entre os desafios para se viabilizar um programa social desta magnitude está sua escalabilidade operacional e tecnológica, em um país de dimensões continentais como o Brasil. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar como evoluiu o sistema de informação (SI) CadÚnico, SI que registra as famílias que possuem potencial elegível ao Bolsa Família (BF) com base em uma abordagem de pesquisa sociotécnica. Para tanto realizamos um estudo de caso interpretativo com apoio da Teoria Ator-Rede, dos conceitos de infraestrutura de informação e de escalabilidade. Finalmente, para análise qualitativa dos dados, utilizou-se procedimentos de análise qualitativa baseados em grounded theory (GT). Como resultado, identificamos categorias de escalabilidade tecnológica, política e geográfica, as quais estão interligadas e promoveram o crescimento do BF desde o seu início. Desta forma, buscamos contribuir com a literatura científica em SI acrescentando evidências sobre como a escalabilidade de um Sistema de Informação Social compreende tecnologia, pessoas e processos em um contexto histórico, político e organizacional. Finalmente, pretendemos também mostrar como os estudos interpretativos contribuem para compreender aspectos técnicos, sociais e políticos que permeiam SI na complexidade de contextos práticos.
Repertory Grid Technique in a participatory design of games for older people
Authors: Fonseca Guilherme , Duque Ezequiel M. , Silva Rômulo B. , Ishitani Lucila
Published: January 2022

With the aging society, there is an increasing need for services and software focused on older people. Digital games are one option of software to be provided as tools for entertainment, education, and well-being. However, to deliver these benefits, games must be developed according to the needs and preferences of older people. Seeking to improve the process of eliciting preferences from the target public, we applied Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) during the participatory design of a game. RGT is a cognitive interviewing technique based on Personal Construct Psychology, which has applications in different areas, including computer science. Although many articles discuss the application of RGT in the development of systems, we did not find, in the literature, any application of the technique with older people. We developed a game focusing on older people to understand better how such technique could contribute to game development, following action research methodology. We carried out three cycles of action research, all of which involved the use of RGT. The results indicate some benefits of using RGT instead of traditional semi-structured interviews. The main contribution of this work is to provide researchers with an initial understanding of the benefits of the application of the Repertory Grid Technique for the interviews with older people and how to use it during a participatory design.
Reliable Traffic Sign Recognition System
Authors: Atif Muhammad , Ceccarelli Andrea , Bondavalli Andrea
Published: January 2022

Traffic sign detection and recognition is an important part of Advance Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS), which aims to provide assistance to the driver, autonomous driving, or even monitoring of traffic signs for maintenance. Particularly, misclassification of traffic signs may have severe negative impact on safety of drivers, infrastructures, and human in the surrounding environment. In addition to shape and colors, there are many challenges to recognize traffic signs correctly such as occlusion, motion blur, visual camera’s failures, or physically altering the integrity of traffic signs. In Literature, different machine learning based classifiers and deep classifiers are utilized for Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), with a few studies consider sequences of frames to commit final decision about traffic signs. This paper proposes a robust TSR against different attacks/failures such as camera related failures, occlusion, broken signs, and patches inserted on traffic signs. We are planning to utilize generative adversarial networks to corrupt images of traffic signs and investigate the robustness of TSR. Furthermore, we are currently working on designing a failure detector, which will help the TSR in advance before recognition, whether images are corrupted with some type of failure. Our conjecture is that failure detector with classifiers will improve the robustness of TSR system.

Virtual Arbitration Hearings in Times of COVID-19 (And Beyond)
Authors: Bečvářová Bára
Published: January 2022

Until 2020, arbitration hearings usually presumed a physical presence of all participants in one room. Although hearings conducted by way of remote communication, i.e., virtual hearings, have been technically possible for several years, their use was limited at best. Due to travel restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation changed rapidly and virtual hearings came into the focus of the arbitral community. Mindful of the changing attitudes, this paper firstly discusses attributes of the virtual hearings, their advantages and challenges. Furthermore, with the benefit of the hindsight, the second part looks at how the arbitral institutions handled the “new normal” imposed by COVID-19 in terms of the guidance provided to the tribunals and parties.

The Crime of Bending the Law From the Point of View of the Arbitrator... of the Court of Arbitration and Application Practice
Authors: Filipová Martina , Barková Veronika
Published: January 2022

The article deals with the crime of bending the law of arbitrators of the Court of Arbitration in terms of particular features of the subject matter of this newly created crime in the Slovak legislation. The subjective nature of this crime raises the question of a possible collective offender, i.e., the Court of Arbitration consisting of various arbitrators whose conduct results in the collective award. It is also noteworthy to mention the objective side of this subject matter in case of arbitrators lacking law ba-ckground (even if they are experts in the given field). The aim of this paper is to analyze what conduct of the arbitrator can be subject to criminal punishment or what conduct will demonstrate the elements of arbitrariness from the part of the arbitrator or the Court of Arbitration and what consequences such conduct will have for the award of the Court of Arbitration itself.

Pandemi, krisehåndtering og arbejdsliv
Authors: Rasmussen Stine , Bredgaard Thomas , Hansen Claus D. , Kamp Annette
Published: January 2022

Da Mette Frederiksen lukkede ned for det danske samfund i midten af marts måned 2020 – som respons på den globale coronapandemi – var det en historisk uset grad af intervention på det danske arbejdsmarked, der medførte en næsten øjeblikkelig nedlukning for mange danske arbejdspladser både i det private og det offentlige. Det var på mange måder en usædvanlig beslutning, som fik store konsekvenser på stort set alle samfundsområder. Siden anden Verdenskrig, har der ikke været gennemført så pludselige og omfattende ændringer af arbejdsvilkår og arbejdets organisering med konsekvenser for de sociale relationer på arbejdspladser og for forholdene på arbejdsmarkedet mere generelt, som det skete under coronapandemien. I starten steg arbejdsløsheden voldsomt, og man indførte en række hjælpepakker til både virksomheder og lønmodtagere, som blev hjemsendt, f.eks. den såkaldte lønkompensation som skulle holde hånden under de ansatte i særligt udsatte brancher. Denne tilgang var ikke unik for Danmark. Som Trine P. Larsen og Anna Ilsøe viser i deres bidrag til dette temanummer, blev der i alle de nordiske lande men på forskellig vis iværksat hjælpepakker og lempelser af regler. Dette skulle afbøde konsekvenserne af en politik, der i høj grad satte folkesundheden højere end de umiddelbare økonomiske konsekvenser heraf. Virksomhederne blev opfordret til i så vidt omfang som muligt at undgå at afskedige deres medarbejdere og i stedet for søge denne kompensation fra staten. Men nedlukningen medførte også forandringer i arbejdsvilkårene for mange mennesker. Ikke alene de ansatte i rejse, hotel- og restaurationsbranchen, men også i store dele af detailhandlen blev sendt hjem uden arbejdsopgaver til en hverdag, der ikke var ulig den arbejdsløse oplever med de udfordringer for hverdagslivets rutiner og identiteten det medfører. Offentligt ansatte i ikke-kritiske funktioner blev beordret hjem at arbejde, hvilket blandt andet medførte et skifte i arbejdsvilkårene, da man fra den ene dag skulle varetage arbejdet fra hjem der ikke var indrettet som arbejdspladser og måske samtidig passe og undervise sine egne børn. Den grænseløshed i arbejdet som hermed blev skabt og de muligheder for nye balancer mellem arbejde og fritid er et af omdrejningspunkterne i Steen Navrbjerg og Dana Minbaeva kronik i dette temanummer.
Kønnede fortællinger – om nyuddannede humanisters møde med arbejdslivet
Authors: Krusborg Laura , Li Jin Hui , Støvring Marie Lysemose
Published: January 2022

I denne artikel undersøger vi kønnede mønstre i, hvordan nyuddannede humanister fremstiller sig selv i mødet med arbejdslivet. Vi har teoretisk afsæt i Judith Butlers begreb om performativitet, hvor køn forstås som noget, subjektet gør gennem gentagne sproglige handlinger. Gennem narrative interviews med nyuddannede humanister analyseres det, hvordan de nyuddannede humanisters fortællinger reproducerer kønnede mønstre for selvfremstilling. I artiklen viser vi, hvordan de mandlige deltagere fremstiller sig selv gennem strategiske overvejelser, succeshistorier og sikkerhed i kompetencer. De kvindelige deltagere derimod fremstiller sig i højere grad gennem fortællinger om tilfældigheder, udfordringer og usikkerhed om egne kompetencer. Således argumenterer vi for, at det ikke kun er strukturer for lønniveau, hierarki og arbejdsforhold, der den dag i dag reproduceres og fastholder en ulighed mellem kønnene, men at den kønsmæssige ulighed på arbejdsmarkedet også i høj grad reproduceres gennem selvfremstillinger.
To virksomme tiltak for kjønnsbalanse - i spennet mellom institusjonelle logikker
Authors: Wathne Christin Thea , Solberg Anne Grethe
Published: January 2022

Kjønnsbalanse i ledelse er et høyaktuelt tema både i akademia og i næringslivet. Gjennom dokumentstudier og intervjuer med HR-ledere i 23 store nasjonale og internasjonale selskaper i Norge undersøker vi hvilke kjønnsbalansetiltak som kan vise seg effektive for å inkludere kvinner i ledelse. Vår studie viser at målstyring som kjønnsbalansetiltak og bruk av rollemodeller kan gi resultater. Mens målstyring fikk feste i arbeidslivet gjennom New Public Management (NPM), kan ikke-styrte trender som det «å dele» på digitale sosiale plattformer forstås å påvirke rollemodeller for ledelse og gi nye handlingsrom for kvinner, men også kommodifiering. Når kvinners rolle i ledelse settes i spill mellom institusjonelle logikker relatert til marked og demokrati, kan utfallet påvirkes av dynamikken mellom de ulike logikkene på måter som kan analyseres ved eksisterende teori, men også på måter som kan kreve en videreutvikling av de analytiske verktøyene.

Published: January 2022

Dry mass loss (DML) of Sound canola and Mouldy canola (sound + mouldy canola) was measured at 25, 30, and 35oC over 14 weeks by weighing 10 kg samples every 2 week. The moisture content of the canola was 10, 12.5, and 15.0% (wet basis). The relationship was quantified among the DML measured gravimetrically, germination decrease rate (GDR), and decrease in the percentage of test weight (PTW). The measured DML was also compared with the DML estimated from respired CO2. The measured DML increased as germination and test weight decreased, and the Spearmen Rank Order correlation between DML and germination or between DML and PTW was greater than 0.58 in 18 of 24 cases. The GDR of mouldy canola was significantly higher than that of Sound canola except at 15% moisture content and 35oC. A decrease of germination and/or PTW could be used to estimate roughly the DML trend but did not predict the DML value with high accuracy. There was no significant difference between the measured- and estimated-DML. Measuring the mass loss or CO2 production roughly estimated DML but using DML to evaluate grain quality was unreliable.
Memory Crash: Politics of History In and Around Ukraine, 1980s-2010s
Authors: Kasianov Georgiy
Published: January 2022

This account of historical politics in Ukraine, framed in a broader European context, shows how social, political, and cultural groups have used and misused the past from the final years of the Soviet Union to 2020. Georgiy Kasianov details practices relating to history and memory by a variety of actors, including state institutions, non-governmental organizations, political parties, historians, and local governments. He identifies the main political purposes of these practices in the construction of nation and identity, struggles for power, warfare, and international relations. Kasianov considers the Ukrainian case in the context of a global increase in the politics of history and memory, with particular emphasis on a distinctive East-European variety. He pays special attention to the use and abuse of history in relations between Ukraine, Russia, and Poland.

Healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients are spending long hours wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). There are reports of adverse skin reactions secondary to wearing PPE, especially face masks. However, it is essential to wear the protective equipment. Aim: To assess the proportion of doctors who report adverse skin reaction after the use of face masks and enlist the skin reactions reported. Also to study the relationship between certain suspected factors and occurrence of skin reactions. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted using a questionnaire containing both open and closed ended questions which was distributed through online platform. The questionnaire contained details on the type of mask, duration of usage, frequency of change and dermatological manifestations experienced. Sample population constituted doctors who were willing to participate in the study. IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0 was used for analysis of data. Results: The male to female ratio among the 220 doctors studied was 1:1.59. Maximum number of doctors (56.4%) wore N95 masks. Total 33.63% of them used one new mask every day and 60.90% of them used the mask for more than 6 hours continuously on a day. Acne was the most commonly reported problem accounting for 48.2%. Doctors using N95 masks reported acne more commonly. Conclusion: N95 masks were the most commonly used masks. Total 88.18% of the doctors reported cutaneous manifestations. Acne was the most common dermatological problem reported. It was associated with the use of N95 masks and longer duration of use of N95 masks.

Authors: Mukkamala Neha , Lakhani Jitendra , Parmar Lata
Published: January 2022

Patients with diabetes are more prone to get musculoskeletal problems and show higher pain levels, poorer functional outcomes, reduced quality of life and a reduced response to treatment compared to those without diabetes. Physiotherapy is often the first line of treatment for majority of these conditions. Inspite of this, not many studies have seen the effects of physiotherapy interventions specifically in diabetes related musculoskeletal disorders. A literature search of PubMed, Google Scholar, PEDro and Cochrane library was carried out which yielded 1645 articles out of which 12 were included in the final review. Very few studies on physiotherapy management in diabetes related musculoskeletal disorders were retrieved. Good quality studies which specifically study the effects of physiotherapy interventions in diabetes related musculoskeletal disorders are needed so that early treatment can be initiated and quality of life can be improved.

Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MFPS) is a disorder common among patients who experience musculoskeletal pain. The condition originates from the muscles and the fascia which surrounds it. Initially, this condition used to be prevalent among people in their 40s and 50s. But presently, even young adults are affected. In this review, several databases have been consulted in the course of reviewing MFPS related studies. Aspects reviewed include its aetiopathophysiology, diagnostic criteria and management of MFPS. It is important to note that an increasing number of people among the ageing population suffer from musculoskeletal discomfort that interferes with their everyday activities and functions. It has a huge influence on their overall well being. This is creating a growing financial burden on the healthcare system. There is a lack of consensus regarding proper diagnostic criteria or tool, and treatment of MFPS. This review aimed to summarise recent advances in the diagnosis and intervention.

Introduction: Cancer patients are more prone to dental caries. Exposure to chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, leads to hypofunction of salivary glands and consequently increases dental caries. A considerable number of cancer survivors are exposed to a heavy economic burden imposed by the disease. Aim: To study the effects of Socio-economic Status (SES) on oral health and the utilisation of Oral Healthcare (OHC) services among female cancer survivors in Iran. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2019 to October 2019 on 200 female cancer patients. Proportion of dental caries, OHC services utilisation, and SES were assessed in participants older than 18 years, who visited Shiraz cancer clinics at Shiraz, Iran. The data on OHC utilisation and SES among individuals were collected using the questionnaires by face to face interviews and oral examinations. Pearson’s Chi- squared test, the independent samples t-test, and binary logistic regression were used for statistical analyses. Results: Total of 200 female cancer patients were included and the median age was 49 years. Filled Teeth (FT) and Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT) (Poisson Regression (PR): 1.64, p-value <0.001; and PR: 1.11, p-value 0.04 in respect) were significantly higher; while, Decayed Teeth (DT) (PR: 0.80, p-value 0.03) and Missing Teeth (MT) (PR: 0.69, p-value <0.001) were significantly lower, in higher levels of SES. Hundred and fourteen participants had at least one dental visit during the previous year. SES did not affected having a dental visit in the previous year (p-value 0.6). Conclusion: Among female cancer survivors, SES was associated with oral health and was not a determinant for the rate of utilised OHC services. Treatment in comparison with prevention/regular dental check-ups was the most prevalent reason for the last dental visit.
Glandular Odontogenic Cyst- An Unusual Presentation in the Maxilla
Authors: Singhal Ishita , Dave Aparna , Arora Manpreet , Saluja Pulin
Published: January 2022

The Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (GOC) is thought to be a developmental cyst arising from the remnants of dental lamina. This cyst has an unpredictable and a potentially aggressive behaviour, with a worldwide prevalence of 0.17%. It occurs in patients aged 40- 70 years, occurring exclusively in the anterior mandibular jaw. Here, authors presents a case of 42-year-old male patient reported to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology with a chief complaint of pain in the upper right back tooth region since five days. Two radiolucencies were observed in the maxillary anterior and posterior regions, as an incidental finding in the radiographic examination. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) revealed two separate unilocular homogeneously hypodense regions with radiopaque sclerotic borders in the maxillary arch, located in the anterior and posterior regions of the maxilla, crossing the midline, which is quite rare. A final diagnosis of GOC was made based on the histopathological examination of the specimen after complete enucleation. Diagnosis of this cyst is challenging clinically and radiographically, as it can be confused with other cysts or malignancies of the jaws. Hence, diagnosis of GOC can only be based on characteristic histopathological findings.

Introduction: Alexithymia is a personality trait that affects the emotional regulation. It has been found associated especially with pain disorders. It is a personality construct which is characterised by inability to experience and describe feelings, making an alexithymia patient suffer from mental clouding. Therefore, it is important to diagnose patients with alexithymia in dental clinics since it may adversely affect the doctor patient relationship and treatment outcome. Aim: To find the prevalence of alexithymia and to find any difference in alexithymia traits between children with Traumatic Dental Injury (TDI) and those without it. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 10-19 years old adolescents reporting to K.M. Shah Dental College and Hospital, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University), Vadodara, Gujarat, India, from February 2018 to September 2018. A total of 420 participants were enrolled with 210 in each group (with TDI and without TDI). Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) was used to identify alexithymia. Andreasen’s classification for TDI was used to classify the TDI. Chi-square was used to compare the non parametric data between the groups. Unpaired t-test was performed for the comparison of scores between groups for total TAS-20 score and as well as for the nine dimensions. Results: The prevalence of alexithymia was found to be 86.1% in children with TDI compared to 30.9% in children without TDI. The difference in prevalence of alexithymia between children with TDI and those without was statistically significant (p-value=0.0001). Children with TDI reported with significantly higher total TAS scores. However, difference with respect to gender was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The prevalence of alexithymia was found significantly higher in children with TDI. Also, the TAS-20 score and the individual domain scores were higher in children with TDI. Hence, alexithymia may be associated with TDI.

Background: Para phenylene diamine (PPD) or black stone, a common hair-dye ingredient in South Asia, has recently emerged as a new means of suicidal attempts in developing countries especially in Asia.

Objective: To determine the outcome of deliberate Para phenylene di-amine ingestion among young women.

Methodology: This descriptive analysis was conducted upon a sample of 400, young women (aged 18 to 35 years) presenting to the emergency department from June 2019 to December 2021, with deliberate Para phenylene di-amine ingestion. After taking written informed consent, the data was recorded onto a structured questionnaire containing inquiries pertaining to basic biodata, socioeconomic details, time elapsed since ingestion, clinical signs and symptoms and the outcome (within 24 hours).

Results: The mean age of the sample stood at 23 (SD ± 2) years. Out of the total 400 cases of deliberate ingestion reporting to the study setting, 19 were asymptomatic and were discharged after initial care. Among the symptomatic patients, 212 (53%) recovered within 12 hours without need for intensive care, while 139 (34.75%) needed admission to intensive care unit, following which a full recovery was achieved within 24 hours (98 patients) or more (31 patients), while the remaining 10 patients succumbed to the poisoning. 30 patients reached the hospital in critical state and died in the emergency department.

Conclusions: The cumulative mortality rate recorded in the research was 10%. Factors such as time between ingestion and presentation to the hospital, the quantity of ingestion and the general health status, affected the outcome of the patient.
