ECONOMY AS A RELIGIOUS PROBLEM. A POLITICAL APPROACH
Authors: Ludueña Romandini Fabián
Published: November 2021

This article tackles the problem of understanding money and economy with non-economic analytical categories. The first part is devoted to point out the differences between the exclusively economic approaches to money and the recent research, from anthropology to philosophy, that has laid stress on the political and religious aspects of the monetary phenomenon. The second part is focused on Georg Simmel’s fundamental contributions to a philosophical comprehension of money. Finally, a fragment by Walter Benjamin is the point of departure to consider the religious and political aspects of modern capitalism and their relationships with the works of Karl Marx, Ernst Troeltsch and Max Weber.
NEOLIBERALISM, A CULT WITHOUT DOGMA. NOTES ON MONEY, RELIGION AND DEMOCRACY
Authors: Cuesta Micaela
Published: November 2021

Every thought that wants to be considered ас materialist begins with the characterization of its circumstances, aiming to abstract them and produce its critique. Our intention is not far from this expectation and, at the moment of defining the present, it shares Mario Tronti’s position that indicates that we are living in the “society of money”. Which are the consequences of these statements? Throughout this article, following some suggestions made by Walter Benjamin, we will investigate the cultic character that signs practices under the logic of neoliberal capitalism. We will try to identify some of his more relevant ideological operations: homogenization and inversion, supremacy of present, immanence and management dominance. The objective is to reflect on the political effects they produce on the configuration of the social bond and the democratic forms of life in our society today.
POPE FRANCIS: IT IS THE POLITICS!
Authors: Cuda Emilce
Published: November 2021

This article will try to establish a relationship between economy and religion based on the speech of the new Latin American Pontiff, Pope Francis, for whom the problem of global crisis should not be sought in the economy but in politics. The pontiff believes that the economy should be subordinated to the politics
and not the other way around. Trying to find a solution to the global political and economic crisis involves investigating the theological causes that sustain structural poverty. Francisco, as a new prophet in times of capitalism, relying on the documents of the Latin American archbishops, denounces that the lack of
work that originates this system originates a culture of death. Political theology can unmask false gods that support this system, and proclaim the importance of a poor working people who must be treated with dignity.
POLITICS FOR FRANCIS
Authors: Pérez Millán Martín
Published: November 2021

The first Latin American Pope chosen as Saint Peter’s successor led up to an unprecedented event in the bimillenary history of the Church. His ideological and pragmatic points of view, as well as his personal and intrinsic virtues, were the distinctive features that catapulted him as an indisputable world leader and
model actor in International Politics. As a consequence of this expertise demonstrated by the Bishop of Rome, different issues have been established in the media and in the global public opinion. This can be seen in the anthropological and social aspects of his discourse, which he has successfully instated, as if he were an experienced and successful politician.As a result of Francis’s supremacy due to his leading position and the evident change of direction of some political, social and economic issues by the Church, his discursive production - especially the apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel)- are essential to understand his conception of politics.
“THE FALL OF THE SECOND WALL”: THE NORMALIZATION OF RELATIONS BETWEEN CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES AND THE ROLE OF POPE FRANCIS
Authors: A. Baisotti Pablo
Published: November 2021

The pastoral trips of Pope Francis to Cuba and to the United States were not only religious. The political activity that he organized to consolidate the relationship between the two recently reconciled countries was remarkable. Through visits, meetings and masses the Pope expressed his position and concerns about various arguments, beyond the recomposed Cuban-American relationship. During the trip he addressed subjects including the environment, poverty, family, union, freedom, all of which were themes that the Pontiff had clearly stated in his encyclical Laudato Si ‘(2015) and his Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (2013). With this trip, Pope Francis ended up consolidating his status as a global politician as well as a pastor with a high degree of acceptance not only among Catholics.
ALWAYS A THEOLOGY OF THE PEOPLE: THEOLOGY IN THE ANGLOPHONE CARIBBEAN
Authors: Luzárraga Ramón
Published: November 2021

Anglophone Caribbean theology is a theology of the people, developing autonomously from the theology of the people developed by Argentine theologians. Their idea that a people’s concrete, day-to-day practice of their religious faith carries the authentic culture of a country, is an authentic source of Christian wisdom, yields true insights of God’s presence and activity in the world. This faith of the people, contextualized but not suppressed within the life of the Church overall and tapped into by its theologians, serve to evangelize a country and its people by calling a country and its people to a conversion to who they ought to be, a people of God who incarnate the Christian faith according to their unique genius, and share the fruits of the wisdom drawn from the lived experience of Christian faith by participating in the Church’s evangelizing mission. This idea finds affinity with the mission of the Caribbean theological project: cultural liberation from colonialism and neocolonialism which brings about a sense of inferiority and dependency by the people of the Caribbean toward global social and political powers. Instead, Caribbean theology seeks to build a unique Caribbean identity which fulfills the full humanity of the people of that region.

The Poetry of Eastern European Ireland: Stereotypes and Appropriations
Authors: Jarniewicz Jerzy
Published: November 2021

In 1988, towards the close of the turbulent decade, which in Northern Ireland started with the drama of hunger strikes and in Poland with the strikes in Gdańsk dockyards, the foundation and subsequent suppression of “Solidarity”, Seamus Heaney published The Government of the Tongue, his controversial critical book centered on the question of the poet’s, and poetry’s, responsibilities in a world of suffering and social injustice. In these polemical essays Heaney put forward an image of Eastern European poetry as the exemplary literature not only to be studied, but also to be followed. Heaney discussed at length the works of such poets from beyond the Iron Curtain as the two Poles, Czesław Miłosz and Zbigniew Herbert, the Russian Osip Mandelstam, and the Czech poet, Miroslav Holub.
Place-names in Modern Scottish Gaelic Poetry
Authors: Stalmaszczyk Piotr
Published: November 2021

The significance of place-names in Celtic, especially Irish, literature has been extensively discussed in numerous studies. Though an important feature of older poetry, the usage of geographical names is employed also in contemporary verse, not only in Irish, but also in Scottish Gaelic. The preoccupation with places may be viewed as a broader awareness of the geographical setting, a point extensively discussed by Sorley MacLean (1985) in connection with the consciousness of the presence of the sea in the seventeenth-century Gaelic poetry. Place-names are often used as means of appropriateness of nature, and this is one of their major functions in Gaelic poetry.
Influence of Scientific Collaboration Network on Academic Performance
Authors: Xiao Xiangjin , Prompanyo Manoch
Published: November 2021

Collaboration in science is a complex phenomenon that affects scientific performance in various ways. Thus, understanding the influences of the research collaboration network is important for researchers. This paper explores the relationship between research collaboration network structural and scientific research performance and conducts an empirical test with data from 416 scholars. Findings revealed that network stability reduces the scholars' research performance, and network centrality promotes research performance. The network structural holes that the scholar spans, moderate the detrimental effects of network stability. This research provides suggestions for scholars to build a reasonable scientific research collaboration network to improve their research performance.
Requiem for the American CBD: The Impact of COVID-19 and a Dispersed Workforce
Authors: Longtin Matthew J , Mitchell Martin D
Published: November 2021

Digital communication technologies have rendered the American Central Business District (CBD) obsolete, and one can expect the corporate headquarters function to be removed in varying degrees from the CBD as this decade further unfolds.  The COVID-19 pandemic forced corporate America to widely embrace a dispersed workforce model. We argue that corporations will continue to embrace this model for profit driven reasons, while employees will also demand its continuance for another set of reasons: some monetarily based with others rooted in flexibility and the ability to reside anywhere.  In the meantime, the public will perceive such moves as environmentally friendly and enhancing worker safety.  The traditional CBDs and their adjoining sports/entertainment districts will likely face significant near-term fiscal challenges, which for some cities will be magnified by poor public policy decisions and increasing crime. 
Het nieuwe rechtsstaatmechanisme: een panacee voor alle schendingen van EU-recht?

Het nieuwe rechtsstaatmechanisme: een panacee voor alle schendingen van EU-recht?

De laatste maanden werd de Unie opgeschrikt door wetgeving in Hongarije en Polen die door veel lidstaten werd beschouwd als ernstige schending van de rechtsstaat. Er kwamen reacties dat dergelijke inbreuken op de waarden van de EU niet geaccepteerd konden worden en dat beide landen daarvoor via het nieuwe rechtsstaatmechanisme gekort moesten worden in hun subsidies uit de EU-begroting en met name het herstelinstrument. In deze bijdrage ga ik na wat het rechtsstaatmechanisme precies inhoudt en in hoeverre inbreuken op het EU-recht en met name de waarden die in artikel 2 VEU zijn neergelegd daarmee gesanctioneerd kunnen worden. De auteur komt in de analyse tot de conclusie dat dit niet zo eenvoudig is als sommigen aanvankelijk dachten.

Verordening (EU) 2020/2092 van het Europees Parlement en de Raad van 16 december 2020 betreffende een algemeen conditionaliteitsregime ter bescherming van de Uniebegroting (PbEU 2020, L 433/1).

Published: November 2021

Forests are ecosystems that are comfortable for human health. Spots from the forest ecosystem site suitable for healing forest must be identified. The research aims to analyze the suitability of Kampung Pasundan Cisamaya (KPC) for healing forest activities. The research method refers to the Draft Indonesian National Standard Number 9006:2021 concerning Forest tourism for health therapy (healing forest). The results showed that the KPC site is suitable for healing forest activities. Five reconnection activities with nature, namely invitation by air, invitation by vegetation, invitation by land, invitation by water, and release emotion, can be carried out well in several spots on KPC's healing forest track. Healing forest activities regularly and adequately has a positive impact on health.
High-Fat Diets-Induced Metabolic Disorders to Study Molecular Mechanism of Hyperlipidemia in Rats
Authors: Maulana Harfi , Ridwan Ahmad
Published: November 2021

Hyperlipidemia is a lipid metabolism disorder occurring due to consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD), which contributes to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease development. HFD causes metabolic problems in Rodentia animals like human metabolic abnormalities, making it a popular model for studying the signaling systems involved. Hyperlipidemia is a condition in which the body's cholesterol levels elevate. In recent years, several studies have investigated the relationship between HFD feeding and hyperlipidemia and signaling pathways involved in cholesterol homeostasis. However, this signaling mechanism in lipid metabolism has not been fully explained, so additional analysis is needed. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism that occurs from hyperlipidemia due to HFD feeding. The method used is a literature review approach following the PRISMA scheme for selecting the primary literature, including identification, screening, eligibility test, and inclusion. Eleven articles included primary literature with credibility (H-index) of 20, 33, 71, 92, 93, 162, 180, 192, and 332 (six articles from Q1 journals and five from Q2 journals). Long-term administration of HFD directly affects lipid metabolism, including an increase in the concentration of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and a decrease in HDL concentration, followed by an increase in body weight. In addition, HFD also disrupts adipose tissue and insulin resistance. The conclusion of this study is that HFD can cause hyperlipidemia either directly or indirectly by inducing insulin resistance, which contributes to lipid metabolism disorders.
Lexical interference in non-native resolution of possessives?
Authors: Fabricius-Hansen Cathrine , Pitz Anneliese , Torgersen Henrik
Published: November 2021

Research on non-native pronoun resolution has predominantly been concerned with (i) ‘ordinary’ 3rd person pronouns/anaphors like En. "he", "she", "they" or "himself", "herself", "themselves", (ii) language pairs involving English as the native (L1) or the foreign (L2) language, and (iii) the role that binding constraints and syntactic structure in general play in L2 versus L1 processing. The present paper – a follow-up study to Pitz et al. (2017) – deviates from this trend in all three respects: We investigate how L1-Norwegian learners

of L2-German interpret the two German possessive pronouns/determiners "sein" (≈ his) and "ihr" (≈ her or their), arguing that lexical divergence between the possessive systems, and in particular the formal similarity between binding-neutral L2-German "sein" and the L1-Norwegian reflexive possessive "sin", may enhance or interfere with L2 comprehension, depending on the structural conditions.

In Section 2 we briefly present the two possessive systems. Section 3 summarizes relevant research on pronoun resolution, with a special view to possessives. Sections 4–6 present a pilot study on L1-Norwegian learners’ grammaticality judgments of "sein" and "ihr" in simple sentences (Sect. 5) and a forced-choice resolution experiment involving a group of L1-Norwegian learners with a background two or three years’ teaching of L2-German at high-school level and a control group of native speakers of German (Sect. 6). The final Section 7 provides a summary and concluding discussion of our findings.
A Literature Review: Detection of COVID-19 in Computed Tomography Images Using Deep Learning
Authors: Marques Júlio V. M. , Veras Rodrigo M. S. , Silva Romuere R. V.
Published: November 2021

Through the development of the COVID-19 disease, various diagnosis methods have been studied. One of them is the computed tomography (CT), which has the best level of detail among medical image exams. The CT generates a repeatable and tiring workload, in addition to needing a team that is familiar with the findings that indicate pneumonia caused by COVID-19. To reduce this manual work and collaborate with these teams, several studies have been carried out using deep learning techniques. In this way, this study presents a review of the literature regarding the detection of COVID-19 in CT that uses deep learning to collaborate with a theoretical basis for future works.

Published: November 2021

Dentre os cânceres de pele, o melanoma é o mais grave e o motivo da maioria das mortes dentre os tipos de câncer de pele. Além disso, sua incidência está aumentando cada vez mais pelo mundo, assim mostrando a importância dos sistemas de detecção do câncer através de imagens médicas para a obtenção de um diagnóstico mais rápido. Uma das etapas é a segmentação, que trata do isolamento da região lesionada. Nesta pesquisa realizou-se a comparação de resultados utilizando diferentes backbones com as redes neural U-Net e FPN. Com a utilização das bases PH2 e DermIS, foram obtidos 0,66 e 0,56 de valores de Dice, respectivamente. Assim acredita-se que esse conjunto pode favorecer a obtenção de resultados mais próximos ao estado da arte.

Umweltschutzrecht in Ungarn
Authors: Fodor László
Published: November 2021

Until 1990, Hungary’s environmental legislation had been broadly incomprehensive. Since then, several laws and judicial decisions were passed, and scholarly literature on this topic exists in abundance. However, as yet, there is no exhaustive evaluation of the development of the legal and legislative development of the country’s environmental law of the past thirty years. This article provides a historical overview of Hungary’s environmental law, followed by an outline of the developments of the 1990 s; it then presents Hungary’s post-millenial environmental law, shedding light on the first decade. The next chapter covers Hungary’s environmental law after 2010, which was a turning point in the country’s environmental policies, associated with the FIDESZ party’s accession to power and several controversial environmental policies. The article concludes that environmental law cannot be observed separately, but must always be reviewed in conjunction with, and in the context of, changes in the entire legal system and the political changes taking place in a country at large. Despite EU approximation of environmental law, there are still cases of Hungarian environmental law contradicting European domestic market fundamental freedoms and competition law.
100 Jahre Gierke, 1841-1921 – Abschiede von der Welt der Schlafwandler
Authors: Rückert Joachim
Published: November 2021

Zur Erinnerung an einen großen pommerschen Träumer, den letzten berühmten Paradegermanisten, einen deutschrechtlichen Schwerstarbeiter, den oft verehrten BGB-Aggressor, den vielgelobten Arbeitsrechtsromantiker, den gläubigen Volksgemeinschaftsprediger, den pathetischen Nations- und Lebens-Metaphysiker, einen idealistisch-vitalistisch schillernden Juristenphilosophen - das klingt nach viel Abschied. In der Tat erscheint einmal ein etwas anderer Zugriff angebracht. Denn schon die Nachrufe schwelgen nicht ohne Nostalgie1 vom „größten Meister“ und die Nachwelt lobt allzu ideologisch ihren „sozialen“ Helden.2 Ob nun Willkomm oder Abschied, jedenfalls muss gegenüber einer so großen Figur wie Gierke erst einmal klar benannt werden, was man eigentlich begrüßt oder verabschiedet. Das ergibt sich leider nicht schlank aus unserem Wissensstand.

Aristófanes resulta ser una pieza clave para el conocimiento del léxico musical griego. La abundancia de testimonios que ofrece, sus apreciaciones técnicas y la creación de nuevos términos musicales le convierten en un importante eslabón en el campo de la música antigua. Su gusto por el detalle se evidencia en la descripción que realiza de los cantos y, sobre todo, de los instrumentos musicales.

Aristophanes is a key piece for the Greek musical lexicon. The plenty of testimonies that he gives, his technical appreciations and the creation of new musical terms make him an important link in the scope of the ancient music. His interest in the detail is made evident in the description concerning songs and, especially, musical instruments.
Repenser l’autonomie locale ?
Authors: Morissette Benoît
Published: November 2021

Les municipalités ont longtemps été considérées comme des créatures des provinces, des corps politiques subordonnés à l’autorité des gouvernements provinciaux. Des changements récents suggèrent qu’elles sont désormais perçues comme un troisième ordre de gouvernement. Il s’agit notamment de la reconnaissance formelle des municipalités en tant qu’ordre de gouvernement par les provinces et les pratiques de gouvernance multiniveau. Dans cet article, je soutiens que ces changements contribuent à la fédéralisation des rapports entre les municipalités et les gouvernements supérieurs. S’ils peuvent nuire à l’efficacité de la gouvernance urbaine, ces développements peuvent aussi consolider les assises démocratiques de la Constitution.
Stratégies de redéfinition de l’enjeu de l’amiante au Québec (1949-2013)
Authors: Lévesque Gabriel
Published: November 2021

Cet article s’intéresse à l’inadéquation entre le développement hâtif d’un savoir médical sur les dangers de l’amiante et les politiques de l’État québécois ayant permis son exploitation jusqu’en 2013. À l’aide de l’analyse historique des discours de l’État en la matière, nous mettons en lumière trois stratégies de redéfinition de l’enjeu s’étant superposées depuis 1949, soit : 1) la redéfinition de l’enjeu ouvrier en enjeu national, 2) la redéfinition de l’enjeu de santé en enjeu technique, et 3) la redéfinition de l’enjeu en non-enjeu. Nous soutenons que ces stratégies employées par l’État ont contribué à invisibiliser les problèmes de santé vécus par les travailleurs et, en conséquence, à légitimer l’exploitation de l’amiante. Ultimement, l’étude des politiques en matière d’amiante au Québec permet de mettre en lumière la façon dont la construction du sens d’un enjeu peut potentiellement résoudre des contradictions objectives entre science, impératifs économiques et droits individuels.
L’Alberta, l’aliénation de l’Ouest et le programme fédéral de péréquation
Authors: Béland Daniel , Lecours André
Published: November 2021

Depuis quelques années, la péréquation fait la manchette au Canada. Tel que suggéré ici, la raison pour laquelle la question de la péréquation a été inscrite à l’agenda politique est liée en grande partie aux efforts de cadrage idéologique du gouvernement albertain, qui mobilise cette question comme arme politique contre Ottawa et le Québec dans les débats sur la construction de pipelines. L’argument formulé souligne la façon dont le premier ministre conservateur de l’Alberta Jason Kenney inscrit cette question à l’agenda politique et prévoit organiser un référendum sur la péréquation dans le but d’augmenter la pression sur Ottawa et les autres provinces dans les dossiers énergétiques.
Le lien entre préférences musicales et attitudes politiques au Québec
Authors: Heisbourg Emmanuel
Published: November 2021

Nous avons mesuré à l’aide d’un sondage sur un échantillon étudiant le lien entre les préférences musicales et les attitudes politiques, une première dans le contexte québécois. Nous observons que le lien entre les préférences musicales et les attitudes politiques est faible. Néanmoins nos résultats indiquent qu’une appréciation pour des genres musicaux « plus politiques » (rock, métal, hip-hop, folk) est associée à l’évaluation par les participants de certains partis fédéraux/provinciaux et à certaines attitudes politiques (intérêt politique, idéologie et conservatisme économique). La force de cette relation n’est pas affectée par l’implication musicale des participants. Nous observons également que la nature de cette relation est semblable aux États-Unis et au Québec.
Readmission into intensive care unit in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Authors: Park Hye Seok , Lee Sung Ho , Kim Kang Min , Cho Won-Sang , Kang Hyun-Seung , Kim Jeong Eun , Ha Eun Jin
Published: November 2021

Objective: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating cerebrovascular event; patients are routinely admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for initial management. Because complications may be delayed, unplanned ICU readmissions can occur. Therefore, in this study we evaluate the rate of and factors associated with readmission after aSAH and identify if readmission is associated with poor clinical outcomes.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all patients receiving surgical or endovascular treatment for aSAH and admitted to the ICU between January 2008 and December 2019. We categorized patients by readmission and analyzed their clinical parameters.Results: Of the 345 patients who transferred to ward-level care after an initial ICU stay (Group 2), 27 (7.3%) were readmitted to the ICU (Group 1). History of hypertension (HTN), initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, modified Fisher grade, and vasospasm therapy during first ICU stay were significantly different between the groups. The most common reason for readmission was delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI; 70.3%; OR 5.545; 95% CI 1.25−24.52; p=0.024). Comorbid HTN (OR 5.311; 95% CI 1.75−16.12; p=0.03) and vasospasm therapy during first ICU stay (OR 7.234; 95% CI 2.41−21.7; p＜0.01) also were associated with readmission. Readmitted patients had longer hospital stay and lower GCS scores at discharge (p＜0.01).Conclusions: DCI was the most common cause of ICU readmission in patients with aSAH. Readmission may indicate clinical deterioration, and patients who are at a high risk for DCI should be monitored to prevent readmission.
Hvorfor holdes det fremdeles muntlige rapporter i helseinstitusjoner når helsepersonell har tilgang til elektronisk pasientjournal?
Authors: Deinboll Anne , Oddvang Tone Knudsen
Published: November 2021

Bakgrunn: Muntlig rapport har lang tradisjon i helsetjenesten. Elektronisk journaldokumentasjon er tilgjengelig, og det argumenteres for at skriftlig informasjon kan erstatte den muntlige overleveringen av pasientinformasjon. Noen steder er muntlig rapport erstattet med stille rapport for å spare tid og ressurser. Hensikt: Hensikten er å utvikle kunnskap om hvilke tema helsepersonell snakker om under rapportmøter i helsetjenesten. Metode: Kvalitativ tilnærming, Krippendorffs innholdsanalyse. Sykepleierstudenter samlet data fra rapportmøter i sykehus, sykehjem og hjemmetjeneste. Resultat: Organisatoriske forhold og drift, pleie og behandling ble mest omtalt. Faglige forhold og personalets bekymring og frustrasjon ble ofte omtalt. Privat prat opptok liten del av rapportmøtene. Konklusjon: Rapportmøtene inneholder mer enn formidling av pasientopplysninger, og må få større fokus mens videreutvikling av elektronisk pasientjournal (EPJ) pågår. Effektivisering av helsetjenesten, uten konsekvensutredning av reduksjon i rapport-tiden, kan medføre kvalitetsforringelse av sykepleietjenesten og pasientsikkerheten. Sykepleiernes organiseringsvirksomhet kan kamufleres i begrepet rapport.
Exploring women’s oxytocin responses to interactions with their pet cats

Published: November 2021

Background

Extensive research has evaluated the involvement of the neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) in human social behaviors, including parent-infant relationships. Studies have investigated OT’s connection to human attachment to nonhuman animals, with the majority of the literature focusing on domestic dogs (Canis lupis familiaris). Utilizing what is known about OT and its role in maternal-infant and human-dog bonding, we apply these frameworks to the study of human-domestic cat (Felis catus) interactions.

Methods

We investigated changes in salivary OT levels in 30 U.S. women of reproductive age before and after two conditions: reading a book (control) and interacting with their pet cat. Participant and cat behavioral patterns during the cat interaction condition were also quantified to determine if differences in women’s OT concentrations were associated with specific human and cat behaviors.

Results

Our results revealed no changes in women’s OT levels during the cat interaction, relative to the control condition, and pre-cat interaction OT levels. However, differences in women’s OT concentrations were correlated with some human-cat interactions (e.g., positively with petting cat and cat approach initiation, negatively with cat agonistic behavior) but not all observed behaviors (e.g., use of gentle or baby voice) coded during human-cat interactions.

Discussion

This study is the first to explore women’s OT in response to interactions with their pet cat and has identified distinct human and cat behaviors that influence OT release in humans.
Cervicogenic and Vestibular Vertigo-Bridging the Gap
Authors: Ranjan Aditya , Jain Shraddha , Jungade Shyam
Published: November 2021

The diagnosis and management of vertigo is still a challenge. Vertigo is managed by heterogenous group of specialists, including Otolaryngologists, Neurologists and Physiotherapists. The cause of vertigo could be vestibular, central or cervicogenic. The current review was undertaken as an attempt to highlight the various gaps in knowledge about vertigo of varied aetiologies. Cervicogenic vertigo is caused due to neck pathologies and is considered by some authors to be one of the most common vertigo syndromes. However, there is little mention of it in otolaryngology textbooks. Barriers across the specialties and lack of communication between the specialists are an impediment in vertigo management. This review has attempted to highlight the likely multifactorial aetiologies and fallacies in the pathophysiology of Meniere’s disease. The clinical overlaps in cervicogenic and vestibular vertigo have been discussed, some of them being, the occurrence of aural symptoms and neck pain in both the entities. This review article brings out the need to revisit the pathophysiology of vestibular vertigo syndromes and include cervicogenic dizziness in the list of vertigo syndromes in Otolaryngology textbooks. The authors found a dire need of an interdisciplinary approach to elucidate the cause of vertigo of varied presentation with the goal of better patient management.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: The dominant respiratory feature of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is arterial hypoxaemia, greatly exceeding abnormalities in pulmonary mechanics. Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) analysis helps to find out respiratory, metabolic acidosis and alkalosis. Aim: To evaluate the blood gas levels among critically ill COVID- 19 positive patients admitted in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Materials and Methods: A retrospective, observational study was conducted in East Midnapore district of West Bengal, India from July 2020 to February 2021. Data of ABG analysis {pH, PaO2 (partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood), PaCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood) and bicarbonate (HCO3)} in 314 adult COVID-19 positive cases, were obtained from ICU records. All critically ill COVID-19 patients those who were admitted in ICU with more than 15 years of age were included in this study. Data were analysed and Pearson correlation test was applied for statistical significance. Results: Among the study subjects, 234 (74.5%) were males. Most affected age group was 51-60 years among males and above 60 years among females. Most common ABG finding was high pH indicating alkalosis, found among 183 (58.3%) patients. Acidosis was rare and seen in only 19 (6.0%) patients. A total of 174 (55.4%) patients developed respiratory alkalosis with low PaCO2. Hypoxaemia was found in 144 (45.9%) patients. High HCO3, indicating metabolic alkalosis, was seen in 144 (45.9%) patients. Statistically significant correlation was found between PaCO2 and pH (pearson correlation coefficient (r)=-0.153, p=0.007) and PaCO2 and HCO3 standard (r=0.185, p=0.001). Conclusion: ABG should be done in all COVID-19 patients during admission. A regular interval monitoring of ABG can help in early identification of respiratory damage, silent hypoxia and cytokine storm and with early detection many lives can be saved with early initiation of management.

Unintentional home injuries are a major cause for childhood morbidity and mortality.

Aims and Objective: To find the KAP among mothers about common home injuries and methods to prevent them. To assess how safe the houses of the study population is.

Materials and Methods: 200 mothers attending the paediatric OPD of a tertiary care hospital in a sub-urban area of South India were enrolled. They were interviewed with a structured questionnaire. Details regarding socio-demographic aspects, knowledge, attitude and practices about common household accidents and ways to prevent were asked. The safety aspects of their homes were also noted down. The collected data were analysed with sigma plot 13(system software, USA). In the above statistical tools the probability value <0.05 was considered as significant.

Result: The mean age of mother was 28.82 ± 4.93 years and age at marriage, 21.7 ± 3.55 years. 54% belonged to lower middle class and nearly 20% each in upper lower and upper middle class. Fall from height, Road traffic accidents followed by electrical injuries were the commonest accidents known by mothers. Socioeconomic status and educational levels had statistical correlation with few of the variables.

Conclusion: Knowledge about home accidents is poor in the study population. Most of the houses are not child safe. Parent education about home injuries and training on first aid should be part of newborn follow up.
