The challenge of restoring tropical freshwater ecosystems
Authors: Bozelli Reinaldo Luiz
Published: November 2019

Abstract We are living a growing worldwide process of degrading the bases of sustaining life. In Brazil, this threat is intensified by the growing fragility of environmental protection structures. Ecological restoration is an alternative to face the degradation of aquatic environments. It has been employed on a larger scale in the developed regions of the planet, but with little convincing results. In Brazil, the experiences are few and specific, limited mainly by complexity and costs. It is necessary to think in a more agile way and act within the possibilities. The restoration with its classic strategies should give way to an “urgent restoration”. This approach considers that we have the basic ecological information and professionals able to act in the resumption of control of the ecological processes that have been altered. Restoration in the condition of urgency implies beginning to think of protection, as a first step, turning attention to the management of the watershed. The way to regain control of the process where it was lost is the integrated management that involves the rational use and protection of the ecosystem. Brazil’s commitment to the Paris climate agreement to restore 12 million hectares of forests and the restoration liabilities on private properties because of the recent Native Vegetation Protection Law are excellent opportunities to act in the integrated management of the river basin and to promote the protection of freshwaters by the restoration of native forests. The restoration of tropical freshwaters and especially the Brazilian ones is something urgent. However, possible solutions must be thought of and can only be constructed when one get involved most people related to the issue. The idea to be nurtured is that restoration involves thinking about the watershed because the threats are beyond the aquatic environment itself, the restoration then also needs to go beyond the aquatic environment itself.

Published: November 2019

Propósito:este artículo revisa algunas concepciones del pensamiento crítico y destaca

su importancia para la educación. Descripción: primero, presenta algunos enfoques fi-

losóficos y psicológicos del pensamiento crítico y su influencia en las políticas educativas

internacionales y nacionales como un medio para fomentar la ciudadanía activa y, a su

vez, el desarrollo sostenible. En segundo lugar, destaca la relación entre el pensamiento

crítico y el Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenido y Lenguas Extranjeras (aicle). En tercer

lugar, los autores de este artículo insisten en el papel vital que tienen los maestros en el

desarrollo del pensamiento crítico. Punto de vista: el concepto de pensamiento crítico

ha sido abordado por diferentes académicos a través de la historia. Aunque ellos pueden

diferir, todos tienen características comunes, como la disciplina intelectual, la integridad,

la libertad, la ciudadanía, la creatividad y la empatía. Por lo tanto, el desarrollo del pensa-

miento crítico debe ser inherente a la educación, ya que las sociedades necesitan ciuda-

danos que faciliten su progreso. Un ejemplo de cómo se puede desarrollar el pensamiento

crítico en la educación se ilustra a través de la implementación de aicle en las clases de

idiomas. Conclusión: teniendo en cuenta que los estudiantes pasan mucho tiempo en la

escuela, los maestros están llamados a ayudar a la familia a desarrollar las habilidades de

pensamiento crítico de nuestros estudiantes durante sus prácticas de enseñanza regulares.
Scandium adsorption from sulfuric-chloride solutions with activated carbons
Authors: Aung Wai Moe , Marchenko M. V. , Troshkina I. D.
Published: November 2019

The study covers scandium adsorption in batch conditions by VSK, DAS and PFT activated carbon grades (Russia) of different origin (сoconut shell, аnthracite, thermoset waste, respectively) from sulfuric acid-chloride solutions (pH = 2) simulating the composition of the underground leaching solutions of polymetallic ores. It was found that scandium adsorption by DAS and VSK carbons proceeds with the highest distribution coefficients (133 and 45.8 cm3/g, respectively). Isotherms of scandium adsorption with these carbons are linear and described by the Henry equation with constants 133 ± 21 and 46 ± 7 cm3/g, respectively. A limited solution volume method was used to obtain the integral kinetic curves of scandium adsorption. Their linearization according to the kinetic models of the pseudo-first, pseudo-second order, the Elovich model and the Weber–Morris intra-particle diffusion model indicates that the kinetics of scandium adsorption with VSK carbon having a higher correlation coefficient (0.999) is described using the pseudo-second order model. Description of the kinetic data obtained during the adsorption of scandium with DAS carbon showed that for all the models used the correlation coefficient is low (<0.939), while the highest value is observed when using the intra-particle diffusion model. It was suggested that the scandium adsorption process occurs in the mixed diffusion region. The possibility of scandium elution from VSK and DAS carbons with sodium carbonate solution (10 %) was studied in batch conditions, where the degree of scandium desorption in two stages of elution was 84.0 and 90.4 %, respectively.

Published: November 2019

INTRODUÇÃO: em situações emergenciais, se torna crucial o manejo adequado das vias aéreas, pois falhas neste processo contribuem consideravelmente para piores desfechos clínicos. OBJETIVO: comparar a utilização do tubo endotraqueal e da máscara laríngea no atendimento pré-hospitalar em relação aos desfechos hospitalares tais como tempo de ventilação mecânica, tempo de permanência na UTI e taxa de óbito. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: estudo observacional retrospectivo, desenvolvido no Hospital Santa Cruz, Rio Grande do . Foram incluídos pacientes maiores de 18 anos, de ambos os sexos, que foram atendidos pelo SAMU durante o atendimento pré-hospitalar,  e após o encaminhados para o Pronto Atendimento ou Ambulatório do Hospital Santa Cruz. As variáveis analisadas foram extraídas dos prontuários médicos dos indivíduos selecionados. RESULTADOS: foram analisados 27 indivíduos, maioria do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 46,5±22 anos, sendo a causa predominante do atendimento pré-hospitalar o politraumatismo. Ao compararmos os pacientes que utilizaram tubo endotraqueal com os que utilizaram máscara laríngea, não foram observadas diferenças significativas em relação ao tempo de atendimento pré-hospitalar. Na fase intra-hospitalar, observamos diferença significativa em relação ao tempo de ventilação mecânica e tempo de internação na UTI, não sendo o mesmo observado em relação a taxa de óbito. CONCLUSÃO: Os pacientes submetidos a utilização da máscara laríngea no atendimento pré-hospitalar apresentaram menor tempo de ventilação mecânica e menor tempo de internação na UTI, em relação aos pacientes intubados com tubo endotraqueal.

INTRODUÇÃO: A Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) é um importante aliado do paciente crítico, favorecendo contrações ativas mesmo em estado que requer imobilidade.OBJETIVO: Verificar a segurança da aplicação da NMES em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTIs) de um hospital público da cidade de Salvador. MÉTODO: Trata-se de estudo piloto, de intervenção. Os dados foram coletados no período de fevereiro a junho de 2018, com amostra por conveniência em uma população de pacientes críticos intubados e em uso de vasopressores. Foi aplicada uma única sessão de 45 minutos de NMES em ambos os quadríceps (músculo reto femoral e vasto lateral), sendo coletados os seguintes dados hemodinâmicos 5 minutos antes da aplicação e logo após a terapêutica: frequência cardíaca, pressão arterial sistólica, diastólica e média; e frequência respiratória. Estes dados foram avaliados seguindo recomendações de segurança já descritas previamente. Para análise estatística, as variáveis foram descritas através de médias e desvio-padrão, mediana e intervalo interquartílico e percentuais obtidos nas variáveis do estudo. A distribuição dos dados foi avaliada pelo teste Shapiro-Wilk, e os testes Mann Whitney e T de student foram utilizados. RESULTADOS: A amostra foi composta por 8 pacientes sendo 1 excluído. Destes, 85,7% era do sexo feminino, sendo o diagnóstico clínico de Sepse evoluindo para choque em 85,7%, média da idade de 61±9,5 anos e APACHE II de 29±5,5. Não foram evidenciadas diferenças estatísticas em relação aos dados hemodinâmicos coletados pré e pós eletroestimulação. Estes dados são semelhantes aos resultados encontrados por outros autores em populações sem uso de vasopressores. CONCLUSÃO: É possível sugerir que a aplicação da NMES no doente crítico em uso de vasopressores é uma técnica segura e viável desde que respeitando os limites estabelecidos e parâmetros corretos baseados em evidências.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprised of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE), affects 350,000-600,000 individuals in the United States annually. More than 100,000 people die each year in the United States as a result of PE. Numerous studies have shown that VTE prophylaxis is vastly underutilized in hospitals and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has listed strategies to improve VTE prevention on its top ten list for patient safety practices. Consequently, numerous interventions have been implemented to improve prescription of VTE prophylaxis with the implicit assumption that medications prescribed for hospitalized patients will always be administered. There are deficits in the administration of Prescribed Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis. Although the benefit of VTE prophylaxis is well established, many hospitalized patients do not receive adequate VTE prophylaxis. The rationale for the Patient-centered Education Bundle is driven by the high frequency of patient refusal of VTE prophylaxis and significant knowledge gaps regarding VTE, there is an urgent need to educate patients and families on the importance and benefits of compliance with VTE prophylaxis. As part of a study funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), we first educated nurses on the harms of VTE and the benefits of prophylaxis, showing that this first step intervention improved VTE prophylaxis administration by approximately 10%. The patient-centered education bundle will be delivered as an in-person, 1-on-1 discussion session with a nurse educator. Supporting education materials include a 2-page education sheet and an educational video.

Published: November 2019

This article reveals the results of research on the contents of history subjects in history textbooks for High School that issued in two different government, those are the New Order Government and Reformation Government, which are considered to contain ideological messages. History textbooks that flowed from the curriculum follows on government policies. That wasn’t surprising if the government changed, they will change the curriculum, and also change the content of text books, in this case includes the history text books. The change indicates that history text books cannot be separated from the interests of the government’s ideology. The aim of this research is wanting to reveal the forms of ideology that is present in the content of history text books. The method that used is critical discourse analysis to know the ideological discourse in history text books from two different government periods. The history text books that are examined based on the 1994 Curriculum and the 2013 Curriculum to indicate two curriculums results from two reigns. Based on the results of this research, it can be compared with the ideology of writing content of history text books in the New Order and Reformation period, there are includes communism and Pancasila, deceit democracy and freedom for democracy, militarism and anti-militarism, neoliberalism and anti-communism, liberalism and anti-liberalism. However, there is still a single narrative of the nation in the New Order that could not be replaced by the Reformation era.

It is causing diversity of consideration voters to determine the choice. For Indonesian people today, The rational aspects apparently started to influence the behavior of voters strongly to determine the choice either in general or regional election. The question that arise is hoe the educated young voter, as well as the students of UPI, to choose the leader of government, especially in election? Is the political rationality become the characteristics of their political behaviour? Through the research which is applied the quantitative research approach design and the object be focused in University of Indonesian Education (UPI), revealed that the main aspects which is becomes the consederation of the majority of respondents is vision and mission of political party/candidate. So does with the consideration of the candidate’s experience and performance used as the basis of their decision to vote. Meanwhile, the assessment of political party will be a basis of respondents consideration in determining their choice. It is apparent from their assessment to the political parties that are during compete. So that, it can be conclude that people awareness, especially respondents as the voters show the political attitude critically in examining and assessing vision and mission of politicians.

Published: November 2019

The mite Tetranychus urticae is a key pest in papaya crop in Valle del Cauca (Colombia), and it has been generally controlled with chemical products; other management alternatives have not been used. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of alternatives: plant extract (garlic-chili vegetable extract, Alisin®), mineral oil (vegetable fatty acid complex, Adimel®), entomopathogenic fungus (Successor®), chemical control (spiromesifen, abamectin, fenazaquin), untreated (control treatment) and farmer’s practices (14 applications of pesticides) in a randomized complete block design with three replications/treatment in a Hybrid Tainung-1 papaya crop in the municipality of Roldanillo. The sampling was done every 8 days by measuring the variables: number of leaves/plant, number of infested leaves/plant, number of floral structures/plant, number of fruits/plant, diameter of stem/plant (every 30 days), population of T. urticae/leaf and yield. It was found that the populations of T. urticae/leaf were low in entomopathogenic fungus (11.978) and chemical control (10.548), with no significant differences (P>0.05) from farmer’s practices (3.339). In contrast, the mite populations were very high in plant extract (22.086), mineral oil (20.411) and untreated (35.746), as compared to farmer’s practices. There was a significant difference in all treatments for the variable infestation from farmer’s practices, and the number of leaves/plant in mineral oil and untreated treatment was significantly different from farmer’s practices. No significant differences were found between the treatments in the rest of the evaluated variables. The entomopathogenic fungus turned out to be the best alternative for a management program of T. urticae in papaya in this region.

The radish is a short-cycle vegetable that has excellent nutritional and medicinal properties. It is considered rustic, meaning it tolerates adverse conditions with the possibility of being irrigated with saline water, which creates stress. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of electrical conductivities in irrigation water and doses of ascorbic acid on the agronomic performance and gaseous exchanges of radishes. This experiment was carried out in a protected environment at the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of Paraíba, Areia, Paraíba (Brazil). The experiment design used randomized blocks with five doses of ascorbic acid (0.0, 0.29, 1.0, 1.71 and 2.0 mM) and five electrical conductivities in the irrigation water (0.5, 1.3, 3.25, 5.2 and 6.0 dS m-1), with four replicates. The growth, gas exchange and production were evaluated. The doses of ascorbic acid were not significant. The increase in the electrical conductivities of the irrigation water provided a reduction in the agronomic performance and gas exchanges, except for the net photosynthesis, water use efficiency and instantaneous carboxylation efficiency, which were not significant. There was a relationship between the net photosynthesis, transpiration, internal concentration of CO2 and water use efficiency and the stomatal conductance. The agronomic performance and gaseous exchanges of the radish culture were influenced by the salinity. The foliar application of ascorbic acid did not influence the agronomic yield and gaseous exchanges of the radishes at the tested doses.

Published: November 2019

The fermentation indicators and compositional quality of food made with the solid-state fermentation of potatoes and carrots were analyzed in order to make use of foods that do not meet the requirements of consumers. Three treatments were formulated by varying the potato:carrot ratio mixed with wheat bran and corn cabbage. A microbiological analysis was performed at 0, 24 and 96 hours; the pH, crude protein (PC), ash (CZ), ethereal extract (EE), crude fiber (FC), neutral detergent fiber (FDN) and acid detergent fiber (FDA) were monitored at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Acidification was observed between sampling at 0 and 96 hours, with values ranging from 5.68 to 4.46, 5.73 to 4.46 and 5.69 to 4.33 for the treatments with the potato:carrot ratios 20:20, 25:25 and 30:30, respectively. Similarly, a reduction of dry matter (P<0.05) and PC increase (P<0.05) were observed from 20.1 to 26.7%, 21.1 to 27.1% and 25, 4 to 27.9%, respectively for the previous ratios. No significant statistical difference was found in the variables CZ, MS, EE, FDN, FDA or FC; a significant growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts and an absence of Salmonella were evident. The proportionality in the PC increase with the potato:carrot ratios was viable with the increase of the drying material, such as wheat bran and corn cabbage.

The increasing consumption of energy and the
greenhouse-gas emissions are challenges in the transport and building sectors.
Compared to the other transportation types public railway transport systems are
the most energy efficient regarding carbon footprint. Modern urban railway
public transport systems have the significant advantages of large passenger
capacity, punctuality, safety, going green in the urban environment and
reducing carbon footprint, is a scientific consensus. However, the energy
demand for railways are increasing in proportion to passenger load, require
implementing innovative solutions for optimizing the energy consumption and
reducing carbon emission. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
is a building rating system used worldwide. The credit categories of the LEED
consist of seven different topics from the Energy and Atmosphere to Materials
and Resources. In this study, the LEED certification application to railway

Organizer of Creation of a Complex Object of Intellectual Property Rights: Problems of Theory and Practice
Authors: Grin E. S. , Alekseeva V. A.
Published: November 2019

In the Russian Federation, a person who organized the creation of a complex object is not the author of such an object. Traditionally, civil law distinguishes a triumvirate of authors of a complex object on the example of one of its type - an audiovisual work. A production director, scriptwriter and composer who created music specially for this work are recognized as authors. However, the foreign legislation of some states has a different approach to this issue. In the article, on the example of such a participant as a producer, the author considers the problem of determining his legal status, since in the countries of the Anglo-American legal system a producer is considered to be the author of the movie. The article highlights that the person responsible for the organization of the process of creating such an object, in particular, the person who took the initiative and responsibility for the creation of the relevant object (not only financial contribution but also creative one), may be considered to be the author provided he makes a creative contribution to the creation of a complex object.

Published: November 2019

The article examines the legislation on working hours in the European Union. The author analyzes the fundamental acts regulating working hours within the European Union. Particular attention is given to the analysis of norms directly related to the working time regime enshrined in the European Social Charter, the Charter of the European Union and the Directive of the European Parliament and Council. The article carries out a comparative legal analysis, considers provisions for the regulation of the institution of working hours common for all Member States, which represent the minimum level of guarantees of workers' rights that each EU country must respect. The problems of regulation of labor legislation on working hours in the EU countries (cases of Germany and Greece) are studied. In addition to the standard working hours, the author identifies non-standard working time regimes in the labor legislation of the countries of the European Union. After studying the legislation on working hours of the EU countries, the author makes final conclusions.
International Legal Protection of Environmental Migrants: Realities and Prospects
Authors: Markova E. Yu.
Published: November 2019

The article deals with the problem of international legal protection of people affected by natural and man-made emergency situations that were forced to leave areas with a dangerous for life and health state of the environment. In the doctrine, the population transfer under similar circumstances is often referred to as environmental migration and affected and resettled persons are called environmental migrants. Since these concepts are absent in treaties, the issue of the need for the creation of a legal mechanism for regulating environmental migration as an integral part of the human security system with a sharp deterioration of the environmental situation is being explored. The article looks at the prospects for the formation of an organization at the international level to protect environmental migrants. It is concluded that it is necessary to create such an international organization for the protection of environmental migrants in the United Nations system, whose competence will simultaneously include such aspects of international law as the protection of human rights, migration, international cooperation in preventing and eliminating the consequences of natural and man-made emergency situations.

Choledochoduodenostomy versus T-tube drainage in patients have stones in common bile duct with risk factors of post-operative missed stones
Authors: Ali Mohamed M. , Helmy Mena Zarif , Gomaa Emad
Published: November 2019

Background: Residual or missed stones of common bile duct (CBD) and ascending cholangitis after CBD exploration are major biliary surgery problems. Repeated biliary tract interventions for correction of complications are catastrophic on both patients and surgeons.Methods: This is a prospective study of 83 patients which compares two methods for surgical management of CBD stones between June 2016 to May 2018. Group I included 43 patients who were managed by CBD exploration followed by insertion of T tube, the risk factors of the incidence of missed retained stone in CBD were multiple stones in CBD and hugely dilated CBD (>15 mm).The second method was choledochoduodenal anastomosis for patients having the same previous risk factors (Group II) which included 40 patients. Postoperative follow up was for 12 to 18 months.Results: In group I, 6 patients developed residual stones in CBD, reoperation was required for 3 of them and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with sphincterotomy for another 3 patients, while in the other group (group II) 2 patients suffered from ascending cholangitis and are managed conservatively. No missed or residual CBD stones were developed and no patients need reoperation.Conclusions: With choledochoduodenostomy in patients with multiple CBD stones or markedly dilated CBD the incidence of missed or retained stones in CBD was reduced.

Published: November 2019

Background: Acute appendicitis is a diagnostic dilemma for surgeons due to wide array of differential diagnosis and sometimes due to atypical presentation. Diagnosis using sonography, which is the most common modality, has a very low specificity and sensitivity. In such cases it puts a surgeon in dilemma especially in an emergency setting. The integration of clinical scores into the diagnostic process in acute appendicitis has been shown to improve decision making and reducing the negative appendectomy.Methods: This is a prospective observational study attempted to compare the efficiency of Alvarado and Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha Appendicitis (RIPASA) score, in pre-operative diagnosis of acute appendicitis and to correlate these scores with histo-pathological diagnosis.100 cases satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for study. Based on detailed history and thorough clinical examination, diagnosis of acute appendicitis was made.Results: Sensitivity for detecting acute appendicitis was found to be higher using RIPASA score. Negative appendectomy rate by RIPASA and Alvarado scoring systems were 11.5 and 19.2% meanwhile it was 12% with sonography.Conclusions: In the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, clinical scoring is a fast, simple, reliable, non-invasive, repeatable and safe diagnostic modality without extra expense and complications. This study shows RIPASA is a better scoring system than Alvarado in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
Comparative study of ropivacaine versus dexmedetomidine-ropivacaine combination in transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative pain control in plastic surgery patients undergoing abdominoplasty
Authors: Jan Summaira , Ahmad Tawheed , Rashid Saima
Published: November 2019

Background: Requirement of postoperative analgesic medication is decreased by the use of regional nerve blocks. Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an effective way to provide postoperative analgesia in abdominal surgeries. TAP block using ropivacaine alone has not been consistently proven to be effective in alleviating pain after abdominal surgeries. The objective of the study was to compare the combination of dexmedetomidine and ropivacaine to ropivacaine alone in TAP block for abdominoplasty patients. Time to onset of post-operative pain and time interval for need of rescue analgesia were compared.Methods: Sixty ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) grade I or II patients undergoing abdominoplasty were allocated to two groups with thirty patients in each group. In this randomized, controlled, double-blinded study, the test group received TAP block using 20 ml (100 mgs) 0.5 percent of ropivacaine mixed with 50 µg of dexmedetomidine while as Control group received TAP block with 20 ml (100 mgs) of 0.5 percent of ropivacaine alone. Patient demographics, time to initial reporting of post-operative pain, time to need of first rescue analgesia, quality of pain block and side effects were recorded.Results: Time to initial onset of pain and time to need of first rescue analgesia were significantly longer in the test group than control group. The two groups were similar in demographics and quality of pain block, with no significant difference in side effects.Conclusions: Addition of dexmedetomidine to ropivacaine for TAP block in abdominoplasty patients prolong the time to initial onset of pain and time to need for first rescue analgesia.

Background: Prostate enlargement encompasses a spectrum of disorders ranging from benign to malignant. For diagnostic prostatic biopsies no clear prostate specific antigen (PSA) threshold level exists. The study correlates PSA with various clinical data (age of patient, international prostate severity score (IPSS), digital rectal examination (DRE) finding), radiological data (prostate volume) and pathological data (Gleason grade, prostate cancer stage) to aid decision making on treatment of prostate enlargement.Methods: 101 men aged more than 50 years with fresh LUTS and grade 1 or more prostate enlargement on DRE were enrolled. They were worked up with transabdominal ultrasonography, serum PSA and prostate biopsy (when indicated). A descriptive statistical analysis was done for correlation by applying Pearson’s Chi square test for significance.Results: Mean serum PSA value was found to increase with age and higher IPSS score. Mean serum PSA levels were found to rise with grade of prostatomegaly. No significant correlation was seen between serum PSA values and Gleason grade or clinical stage of prostate cancer.Conclusions: Serum PSA levels has a significant correlation with age. With increasing age there is increase in serum PSA levels. Serum PSA levels has a significant correlation with International prostate symptom severity scoring. Serum PSA levels has a significant correlation with prostate size measured by trans-abdominal ultrasonography. Serum PSA levels does not show significant correlation with Gleason score or clinical stage of prostate cancer.

Authors: T. Raghavendra R. , Neogi Sushanto
Published: November 2019

Background: Treatment of locally advanced breast carcinoma (LABC) patients involves multimodal approach. Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is preferred in them. Seroma and prolonged drainage are most common post-op complications. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect Flap fixation technique in reducing drain output and seroma in patients with LABC.Methods: 30 stage III breast cancer patients undergoing MRM were included. Prior to skin closure patients were randomised into: test (15) and control group (15). In Test group, skin flaps were sutured to chest wall with vicryl 3-0 at 3 cm intervals and skin was closed with nylon. In conventional group, only skin was closed with nylon sutures. In both the groups conventional closed suction drains were placed. Total drain output, clinically significant seroma, post-operative complications were compared between the two groups.Results: Total drain output in test group (4445 ml) was lesser compared to control group (4801 ml) but not statistically significant (p=0.548), however the percentage reduction of drain output on day 2 was significantly higher in test group (42%) as compared to control group (31.8%) (p=0.04). The clinically significant Seroma formation rates were similar in both groups but the volume of seroma aspirated was significantly lower in test group (p<0.05).Conclusions: The flap fixation technique group had better approximation of skin flaps and chest wall, as evident with reduction of drain output, significant reduction in drain output on post op day 2 and reduction of seroma volume.

Published: November 2019

We report the case of an adult patient with thumb polydactyly. The pre-axial thumb is in a non-functional flexion, while the 1st thumb maintains normal function. X-ray of the hand reveals a “T” shape 1st metacarpus bone, giving origin to the pre-axial polydactyly. Although this variation is not specifically described in the Wassel classification, we classify it as a type V of the Rotterdam´s classification. Patient is managed surgically, using a dynamic incision for polydactyly amputation. The polydactyly thumb has no identifiable muscle/tendon structures responsible of this unique deformation. The procedure results in good post-operative evolution with aesthetic scaring, and integral thumb function.

Necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) is a disease characterized by rapidly progressive necrosis involving skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia or muscle. It is commonly seen in extremities, perineum and lower abdomen. It is extremely uncommon for necrotizing fasciitis to occur along the chest wall, with only a few such cases being reported. We report one such rare case of NSTI in a 75 year old male who underwent left molar tooth extraction developed Ludwig’s angina which progressed to present as a painful swelling over the left side of the neck and chest with a necrotic patch of skin over manubrium sternum managed successfully.

Published: November 2019

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors that can arise in any part of gastrointestinal tract. It is commonly seen in the fifth or sixth decade of life with slight male preponderance.Intussusception and subsequent obstruction is a very uncommon presentation of these lesions because of their tendency to grow in an extraluminal fashion. In the literature, very few cases of small bowel intussusceptions from a stromal tumor in adults have been described. We report a rare case of GIST presenting as acute intestinal obstruction due to intussusception in an elderly male.
