Medical personnel play an important role in the treatment of medical devices, such as surgical instruments, from the use, disposal, and sterilization of devices that can be reused. Tools that can be reused must pass a sterilization procedure to avoid the transmission of disease or nosocomial infections. Infection is the entry of germs into the body causing tissue damage and is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Until now, cases of transmission of disease caused by non-sterile devices or devices that have not been sterilized perfectly can be found. Transmitted diseases cause the appearance of mild infections to the worst are rare diseases which procedures and drugs are still under study. Careful and well-trained medical personnel can prevent the imperfect sterilization of surgical instruments or maintain minimal sterility of surgical instruments. Standard procedures followed by accuracy in treating surgical instruments both before use and after use can reduce the risk of transmission of the disease with surgical instruments as a mediator of transmission.

Authors: Phangadi Milana
Published: June 2019

The nature of mental illness has been the subject of passionate discussion throughout history. In ancient Greece Plato invented the term “mental health,” which was conceived as reason aided by temper and ruling over passion. Griesinger almost 2 centuries ago was the first to state that “mental illness is brain illness,” an expression that has provided a strong impetus to the more recent medical conception of mental illness. Mental disorders affect the core of one’s being through varying severity that alter the way an individual thinks about the self, others, and the world. As to more severe disorders such as schizophrenia and psychosis, the degree is much more extreme, but it does not lower the significance of other disorders such as depression, anxiety, etc.In the current era of globalization, mental health is largely promoted through media. However, this does not guarantee improvement of health services and the overall condition of mental health globally. In this article, it is aimed to find the statistical increase in the numbers of the people who have mental illness in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta as how it is the capital city of Indonesia. This article contains statistical data collected from the ministry of health and from the collected data will be analysed further to provide a conclusion to this research.

Empirically investigating the concept of lying
Authors: Wiegmann Alex , Rutschmann Ronja , Willemsen Pascale
Published: June 2019

Lying is an everyday moral phenomenon about which philosophers havewritten a lot. Not only the moral status of lying has been intensively discussed butalso what it means to lie in the first place. Perhaps the most important criterion foran adequate definition of lying is that it fits with people’s understanding and use ofthis concept. In this light, it comes as a surprise that researchers only recently startedto empirically investigate the folk concept of lying. In this paper, we describe threeexperimental studies which address the following questions: Does a statement needto be objectively false in order to constitute lying? Does lying necessarily includethe intention to deceive? Can one lie by omitting relevant facts?

How “Poland Entered Europe”
Authors: Kuligowski Waldemar
Published: June 2019

The article surveys a giant infrastructural construction project in Poland: the A2 motorway, connecting Poznan´ and Warsaw with the Polish-German border. It was the first private motorway in Poland, and the biggest European infrastructural project, and was realized in a public-private partnership system. The last section of A2 was opened on 1 December 2011, which can be seen as a key moment in Polish socioeconomic transformation. I examine it on two levels: (1) a discourse between government and private investors in which the motorway was the medium of economic and social development and infrastructural “the end” modernization of Poland; (2) practices and opinions of local communities, living along the new motorway. On the first level, the construction of A2 was seen as an impetus for the economic and social development of the regions where the motorway was built. But on the second level, I observe almost universal disappointment and a deep crisis experienced by local economies.
Migrating Knowledge and the Mobility of Ideas
Authors: Feldhay Rivka , Hertz Gal
Published: June 2019

In this article, we offer a broad view of “knowledge in motion” based on our collaborative work and experience at the Minerva Humanities Center at Tel Aviv University. We first present our reflections through a short case study concerned with the perception of sunspots through the telescope and their alternative conceptualizations by agents with different research agendas. We then present our theoretical reflections on “migrating knowledge” and summarize
a few research projects done in our center that may throw further light on our socio-epistemic framework. Finally, we articulate some of our suggestions for mobility studies in order to engage them with the kind of questions we have been concerned with for quite some time now.

The causes of growth blocking, splitting, twisting of crystals are considered. These phenomena are the result of the combined effect of the Punin effect (total autodeformation due to intersectorial heterometry, appearing when impurities are unequally captured by different faces or their parts) and the Rehbinder effect (a sharp decrease in the strength of the surface layer of a growing crystal several times covered by a film of mother solution containing active substances).
Xenobiotic response elements (XRE) from human CYP1A1 gene enhance the hTERT promoter activity
Authors: Shepelev M. V. , Kalinichenko S. V. , Saakian E. K. , Korobko I. V.
Published: June 2019

A hybrid 6XRE-hTERT promoter consisting of the hTERT tumor-specific promoter and six copies of the XRE element from the CYP1A1 human gene promoter was created. Using a human lung cancer cells as a model, we showed that XRE elements in the hybrid promoter greatly increase the activity of the hTERT promoter and ensure the reporter gene transcriptional activation in response to the treatment of the cells with the AhR ligand benzo(a)pyrene. However, similar effects were also observed in normal human bronchial epithelial cells HBEpC, which indicates the loss of the tumor-specific activity by the 6XRE-hTERT hybrid promoter. XRE elements can be used for nonspecific transcription enhancement but are unsuitable for the creation of tumor-specific promoters with enhanced activity.
Art as a Redefinition of History in Praxis Philosophy
Authors: Kavarić Slađana
Published: June 2019

The paper aims to show that aesthetics as a demand for the meaning of society
is fundamentally historically based and indirectly directed towards the redefinition of
historical experience. This issue is important because a globalized, technologized society
has a demand for non-standard, artistic thinking. This view is worth looking into as a
historical precondition for the technologization of everyday life, and to emphasize that
art, as an interpreter of this, is an important segment of the justification of the need for
self-understanding in the historical context. Ideology as a dimension of historical reality often has an impact on the artistic, which again, in a certain sense, acts as a re-filter
of what is already defined in time. In this way, the question arises as to whether artistic
insights are limited and overcome, or art is the challenge of today’s as well as historical
experience. Through analysis Praxis relation to art, a space for understanding the relationship between art and history opens up and questions about the boundaries and the consequence of such a relationship.
Fetal lung interstitial tumor: Prenatal presentation of a rare fetal malignancy
Authors: Phillips J. , Blask A. , DiPoto Brahmbhatt A. , Lawrence A. , Timofeev J. , Badillo A. , Andescavage N.
Published: June 2019

Fetal lung interstitial tumor (FLIT) is a rare fetal malignancy that is typically diagnosed in the postnatal period, or, if recognized prenatally can mimic a benign lesion such as congenital pulmonary airway malformation. We present the earliest case of a FLIT tumor described by ultrasound and MRI at 26 weeks of gestation. Our case highlights features suggestive of FLIT including presentation later in gestation in combination with findings on fetal MRI such as a solid appearance with radiating curved bands of high signal within and along the periphery of the lesion (not as intensely high signal as the typical CPAM), possibly detailing a radiographic signature for these tumors. The role of betamethasone for these tumors is not known.

Published: June 2019

BACKGROUND:

Neonates are too vulnerable that low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth can easily threaten their lives. Demographic, social and environmental factors as well as health care are contributing factors for LBW. The study was conducted in 10 provinces of Iran to investigate the association between LBW and mother’s diseases.

METHODS:

A case-control study was conducted in 10 provinces of Iran on 2580 mothers (712 cases and 1868 controls) referred to public health care centers. We used a questionnaire to collect data. For univariate analysis we used chi-square test and for multivariable analysis we used logistic regression model.

RESULTS:

LBW was significantly associated with living in rural area (OR = 1.4 CI: 1.14–1.71), having body mass index (BMI)<18 (OR = 1.48 CI: 1.14–1.92), being a housewife (OR = 1.65 CI: 1.07–2.53), having high blood pressure (OR = 1.91 CI: 1.26–2.88), and having pregnancy without testing for diabetes (OR = 1.91 CI: 1.44–2.54). Minor thalassemia, hypothyroidism, oral health care and headache were not significant predictors for LBW.

CONCLUSION:

In this study, we observed that place of residence, BMI before pregnancy, mother’s occupation and gestational diabetes were significant predictors of LBW. It is necessary to improve women’s awareness about prenatal health care before pregnancy to avoid LBW.
NAFLD evaluation: Which is more appropriate, multislice computed tomography or ultrasound real-time shear wave elastography?
Authors: Lei Pinggui , Jiao Jun , Li Hong , Wang Pingxian , Duan Qinghong , Liu Jing , Zhou Shi , Wei Qian , Wang Xiaolin
Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to assess the value of ultrasound real-time shear wave elastography (US-SWE) for evaluation of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a rabbit model compared with multislice computed tomography (MSCT).

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

Twenty-six rabbits were fed with high-fat, high-cholesterol diet and six rabbits were fed with a standard diet. All rabbits were performed with MSCT and US-SWE at various time points to measure changes in liver parenchyma. The diagnostic efficiency of US-SWE was analyzed using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves compared with MSCT based on the liver pathology.

RESULTS:

The statistically significant differences in the areas under the ROC curves between using MSCT and US-SWE modalities were detected to discriminate between normal vs. NAFLD or higher severity pathology. Similarly, for normal or NAFLD vs. borderline or NASH livers, statistically significant differences between using US-SWE and MSCT modalities were also detected for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) vs. lower severity pathology.

CONCLUSIONS:

MSCT, but not US-SWE, had a better ability to differentiate normal or NAFLD livers from higher severity NAFLD livers. However, the diagnostic efficiency of US-SWE was superior to that of MSCT for differentiating NASH from normal or lower severity NAFLD.
Comparison of vaporization using 120-W GreenLight laser versus 2-micrometer continuous laser for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia: A 24-month follow-up study of a single center
Authors: Tao Wei , Xue Boxin , Sun Chuanyang , Yang Dongrong , Zhang Yuanyuan , Shan Yuxi
Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes of photoselective vaporization of prostate using 120-W HPS GreenLight KTP laser and compare the results with those obtained with 2-micrometer continuous-wave (2 um CW) laser for treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

One group of 216 patients diagnosed with BPH underwent 120-W KTP laser vaporization of the prostate, while another group of 198 BPH patients underwent 2 um CW laser vaporization. The relevant pre-, peri-, and post-operative parameters were compared between the two therapy groups. Functional results in terms of improvement of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), maximum flow rate (Qmax), and post-void residual (PVR) urine were assessed at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.

RESULTS:

BPH was successfully treated with 120-W HPS KTP laser and 2 um CW laser in all patients. There were no significant difference between two patient groups in the baseline characteristics (such as PSA, IPSS, QoL, and Qmax). No major complications occurred intraoperatively (capsule perforation and TUR syndrome) or postoperatively (electric unbalance), and no blood transfusions were required in both groups. Average catheterization time was 1.9±1.3 days for the 120-W PVP and 2.2±1.9 days for the 2 um CW laser treatment. In addition, the hospitalization times were 3.8±1.2days (120-W PVP) and 4.8±1.5 days (2 um CW laser), respectively. The incidence of dysuria and urge incontinence was higher in the 2 um CW laser group (35/198, 24/198) than in the 120 W PVP group (15/216, 10/216). Dramatic improvement was observed in Qmax, IPSS, Qol, and PVR as compared with the respective pre-operative values. The degree of improvement during the follow-up period was comparable in both groups. No significant differences were observed in terms of re-operation rates, bladder neck stricture, and urethral stricture.

CONCLUSIONS:

Work in the interests of rail transport: the second Minister of Railway Transport of the Russian Empire – Volodymyr O. Bobrynskyi (1869-1871)
Authors: Pylypchuk Oleh , Strelko Oleh
Published: June 2019

The expanded and comprehensive study of the way of life of the personalities of prominent figures who have made a significant contribution to the formation and development of homeland and world science remains a topical task of historical science at the present stage of its development. The article is devoted to the coverage and periodization of stages of life and activities in the field of railroad construction of the Russian Empire, of its second Minister of Railway Transport Volodymyr O. Bobrynskyi. The preconditions of V. O. Bobrynskyi’s career growth have been considered. The article shows how the study at St. Petersburg University influenced the formation of V. O. Bobrynskyi’s personality. The stages of the military career of V. O. Bobrynskyi during the Crimean War of 1854-1856 have been investigated. Analysis of V. O. Bobrynskyi’s activity in different public positions until he was appointed as the Minister of Railway Transport, allowed to assess his contribution to state building and the development of the Russian Empire in various fields. It has been established that Volodymyr Bobrynskyi, acting as the Minister of Railway Transport of the Russian Empire, became the initiator of the construction of 27 railway lines, and as the creator of the network of railways, including the Ukrainian segment. His activities during the administration of the ministry were aimed at strategic directions for the development of railways, in particular: to establish links between the railways that were still divided; to ensure continuation of lines that were not adjacent to the general railway network; to connect internal provinces with seaports (with Mykolaiv and Mariupol); to develop the railways in the interests of the coal and mining industry, as well as the Vologda and Vyatka-Dvina lines. In addition, on the initiative of the Minister, it was envisaged to include two strategic railway lines - from Prague to Warsaw and from Lukov to Ivanogorod. Analysis of reforms of V. O. Bobrynskyi in the management of the railways showed that he successfully pursued a policy of removing from the state administration all the lines already built, and those that were still being built on the expense of the public purse. At the end of the ministerial activity of V. O. Bobrynskyi in September 1871, the length of the railways in the Russian Empire grew almost twice and exceeded 13 thousand miles and almost all of them belonged to private railway companies. The article shows the role of V. O. Bobrynskyi in solving the problem of constru-ction of narrow-gauge railways. And although his occupying the post of Minister of Railway Transport was short-lived, some two years, V. O. Bobrynskyi should be referred to the constellation of those ministers who successfully built railway transport and its facilities.

The urgent task of modern historical science is the comprehensive study of the personalities of prominent scientists and engineers who made a significant contribution to the formation of science and technology. The article is devoted to the analysis of the activity of professor M. V. Vynokurov in the field of the creation of freight wagons. In the history of science and technology. M. V. Vynokurov pointed out that it had been decided to produce new wagons using light-alloy steel, which greatly reduced the weight of the dead load. Such a solution was based on the technical experience of the US wagon industry. Particular attention was paid to the unification of the parts and assemblies subjected to the process of wear and damage to the most, were replaced with the current and periodic repairs of the wagon. This important measure has significantly reduced the cost of manufacturing and was important for the organization of repair because it simplified the ability to replace worn parts with spare ones. M. V. Vynokurov is known as a prominent specialist in the field of rolling stock, he devoted his life to the development of carriages and rolling stock. In preparing this article, chronological, typological, comparative methods of historical knowledge, classification and systematization of historical sources and bibliographic material were used that allowed to systematize and critically evaluate the sources used in relation to the question of the stages of the creation of freight wagons. The role of professor M. V. Vynokurov in this process is shown, covering the 1930-1950 years, the most productive years of a scientist and engineer. It was established that due to the personal contribution of M. V. Vynokurov in the unification of parts for different types of freight wagons, there was a reduction in operating costs of railways. This was achieved due to the massive production of various types of freight wagons. Study of the development of freight wagons through the biography of the scientist-engineer M. V. Vynokurov, which is an integral part of the complex of knowledge, implies the application of a systematic approach as a methodological means of scientific knowledge.
