Published: June 2023

The aim of the present study was to determine changing in serum iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and ferritin levels in hemodialysis patients and to indicate whether there were any correlations between elements and ferritin levels. The study was carried out on 47 hemodialysis patient with the mean age 50.26±16.36 yr who were dialyzed with a range of 2-16 years. This group called as "Hemodialysis group". Blood samples were taken before (pre-hemodialysis) and after (post-hemodialysis) the hemodialysis session. "Control group" included 23 healthy volunteers with the mean age 39.52±11.54 yr. The findings demonstrated that there were no significant differences between the all groups according to data of serum Fe levels. However, serum Cu levels were higher in pre-hemodialysis than the control group (p<0.05) and serum ferritin levels were higher in group pre and post-hemodialysis than the control group (p<0.001). In pre-hemodialysis a significant positive correlations between ferritin and Fe (r=0.373, p<0.05), Fe and Cu (r=0.410, p<0.01) were determined. Findings obtained from the study deliberate that alterations in the levels of Cu may be important for the hemodialysis patients. In addition to correlation between Fe and Cu suggests that there is association between these elements. Further studies are necessary to clarify the association between Fe and Cu.

Atopic sensitivity can be determined by allergy skin test (skin prick test).  The skin prick test is a standard procedure to determine the allergic sensitivity. Aeroallergens can be various according to geographic site, climate and residential properties. In our study we aimed to find out which aeroallergen causes more sensitivity according to the skin prick test results of the patients admitted to our allergy clinic. Allergy skin tests were applied to 532 children with suspected allergic sensitivity, who admitted to Istanbul S.B. Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital between the years 2003-2005. Allergy skin test was found positive in 92 of these children. When these patients were evaluated with regard to allergic rhinitis and asthma; 85 of them were diagnosed with asthma and 45 of them were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. The most commonly diagnosed sensitivity was with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus with a rate of 96.7% followed by Dermatophagoides farinea (89.3%) and Mixture 5 Grassess (18.5%). The results of this study might be explained by; that the patients admitting to our clinic mostly reside near the district of Istanbul Okmeydanı Hospital, in which the houses are settled very densely, with inadequate sunshine and poor ventilation. In conclusion, in this study we determined that the most commonly seen aeroallergens were "house dust mites" and the second ranked allergens were the "grass pollens" in children living in Istanbul.

We performed this study to compare the effects of intravenous dexmedetomidine and fentanyl on propofol injection pain. We conducted a prospective, randomized and double blind study of 120 adult unpremedicated patients (18-65 years of age) scheduled to undergo elective surgery under general anesthesia. The patients were allocated randomly into three groups (n= 40): fentanyl (F), dexmedetomidine (D), and Control (C). Ten ml of the study solution was injected over 10 seconds. One minute after the administration of fentanyl (1 µg/ kg) or dexmedetomidine (0,15 µg/ kg) or placebo, propofol 2,5 mg/ kg was infused at a rate of 20 ml/ min. Injection pain was assessed using a four - point verbal rating scale. The incidence of propofol- associated injection pain were 65% (26) for group C, 27% (16) for group F, and 25% (10) for group D. The incidence of pain were less in the fentanyl, and especially in the dexmedetomidine groups than control group (p< 0.05). Severe pain in groups were D<F<C (p< 0.05). Heart rate and the mean arterial blood pressure of the groups F and D were lower than control groups at baseline, 0, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes (p< 0.05). HR of the group D was lower than that group F at baseline period (p< 0.05). In addition, MAP of the group D was lower than that group F at 10, 15, 30 min (p< 0.05). Premedication of subclinical doses of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl effectively reduced propofol-induced pain and its intensity.

Published: June 2023

Larynx cancer is the most common type of upper respiratory system cancer. 2% and 25% of all cancers and head & neck cancers are consist of larynx cancer, respectively. Two main treatment modalities for larynx cancer are surgery & radiotherapy. Anatomic or functional obstruction at the lymphatic system induced lyphedema and result in swelling of the tissue due to collection of lymphatic fluid. Lymphedema can develop secondary to infections, neoplasm, surgery, trauma, and radiation. Angioneurotic edema is an emergency clinical state with a sudden swelling at face, tongue and eyelids as a result of allergic reactions. In this case we present a 47-year-old male patient who developed massive lymphedema mimics angioneurotic edema after radiotherapy and surgical treatment for head&neck tumor. In general, angioneurotic edema generally respond to anti-histaminic and corticosteroid administrations. Facial lymphedema which simulate angioneurotic edema can develop in a patient with the diagnosis of head-neck cancer especially exposed to local treatment procedures like radiotherapy and/or surgery.

Intelligence is an whole aptitude which results in coordination of a person's lots of mental abilities. The last definition about the mental- impaired children was made by American Association Mental Retardation. According to this definiton, a mental- impaired person can't fulfill his/her mental function entirely and show his/her ability in social, conceptual and practical accordance skills. This disability begins before 18 years old. The World Health Organization expressed that there are 2 or 3% of mental impaired people in a society. The most outstanding feature of a mental- impaired child is that his/ her development is slower than his/her peers. This retardation is seen in all development stages. The etiologic factor of a major of mental impairment isn't known but it is thought that the external factors like infection, trauma and toxins, prenatal, perinatal or postnatal factors, birth problems and genetic factors cause the mental impairment. Mental impairment requires long term medical impairment and caring and caring at home provides children to feel themselves more comfortable, happier and more free. Among the health disciplines, in services of caring at home, the caring role is the duty of nursing profession. Lots of nursing enterprise must be carried out to raise the mental- impaired children's health levels. In addition to help child and his/her parents in daily life activities, nurses must improve the methods about coping with the protection and assimilation of their mental health in depression period.

Published: June 2023

Cigarette smoking contains free radicals (FR) and it stimulates formation of FR. These harmful components may damage balance of oxidants/antioxidants and these processes cause oxidative damages (OD) on lipids and lipoproteins in cells and tissues. The oxidative damage may cause destruction of cellular membranes and insufficiency in all cells. In addition, OD may affect physiological functions of the pulmonary alveolus. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of short and long-term cigarette smoking on lung functions. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) of 112 cigarette smoking for 1-5 years, 105 for 5-10 years and 126 non-smoker healthy volunteer male students by using an electronic spirometer (MIR Spirobank) was measured. Ages, heights and weights of students were determined. In conclusion, values of FEV1% and VEXT were found significantly lower (P<0.05) in smokers of 5-10 years than non-smokers. Although the differences among other pulmonary parameters in control and experimental groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05), values of cigarette smoking were lower according to the values of non-smokers.

Meningitis is an inflammatory disease caused by microorganisms and viruses with various clinical symptoms, which damages the brain tissue and membranes, and which induces biochemical and cellular changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Meningitis is an infectious disease with higher rates of mortality and morbidity. The possibility of death or permanent damage to patient is considerable, mortality rate is one in ten patients and permanent damages like deafness or various brain damages are one in seven patients. Experimental animal meningitis revealed that the leukocytes infiltrated in CSF due to bacterial dissemination contributed to damage progression in brain tissue, increased brain edema and intracranial pressure. The association between gene expression of SOCS3 which is effective in repressing the JAK/STAT signal transduction pathway and meningitis disease were investigated in this study. Gene expression levels of SOCS3 in leukocytes leaked to CSF were investigated by using real-time PCR method in this study. As a result of our study, there was no difference in blood SOCS3 gene expression levels between meningitis patients and healthy controls (p>0.05). Additionally, there was no meaningful difference between SOC3 gene expression of blood and CSF samples in meningitis patients (p>0.05). Our data suggests that further molecular studies are needed and important in meningitis disease diagnosis and treatment, and in the other genes responsible for repressing of inflammatory development.

Kampung Kwadeware termasuk dalam salah satu dari 7 (tujuh) Kampung yang berada di Wilayah Distrik Waibu, Kabupaten Jayapura, dengan luas wilayah Kampung Kwadeware mencapai 1.372 hektar dan jumlah penduduk sebanyak 987 jiwa. Kampung Kwadeware terletak di tepian Danau Sentani, sehingga mayoritas masyarakat Kampung Kwadeware memanfaatkan hasil danau sebagai mata pencaharian sehari-hari.

Seiring dengan perkembangan penduduk di Kampung Kwadeware serta masa transisi jabatan Kepala Kampung Kwadeware, maka perlu dilakukan pendataan ulang guna memperbaharui data kependudukan di Kampung Kwadeware secara menyeluruh dan menghasilkan data yang akurat untuk menunjang kinerja dari aparat Kampung Kwadeware itu sendiri dalam menjalankan program pembangunan. Berdasarkan hasil survei diketahui bahwa pendataan penduduk di Kampung Kwadeware masih dilakukan secara manual yang hanya berbasis pada Kartu Keluarga yang ada pada setiap RT/RW dan belum menggunakan atau memanfaatkan teknologi dalam hal media sistem informasi untuk melakukan penginputan data. Sehingga masyarakat dan aparat Kampung kesulitan untuk mengetahui informasi mengenai kependudukan atau administrasi Kampung karena belum adanya data yang akurat dan lengkap.

Untuk itu solusi yang perlu dilakukan adalah melakukan pendampingan secara langsung kepada aparat Kampung dan masyarakat khususnya dalam pendataan penduduk dengan menggunakan sistem informasi kependudukan. Dimana dalam hal ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan fitur google yaitu Google Form.

Hasil yang dicapai dari kegiatan ini adalah pendampingan dan pendataan penduduk berbasis sistem informasi yang bermanfaat bagi Pemerintah Kampung dan masyarakat agar lebih dimudahkan dalam melakukan penginputan data kependudukan.

The need for public physiotherapeutic services in rural and suburban Albania
Authors: ÇELA Kristi
Published: June 2023

According to Institution of Statistics of Albania 75% of Albanian population lives and is considered a rural population. Based on studies for the general health of the population it is noted that rural and suburban population reports a lower prevalence for good general health compared to the population on urban areas. Even more specifically musculoskeletal issues are seen to have a connection with rural settings but the physiotherapeutic services are missing. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to establish the need of physiotherapeutic services on rural and suburban Albania based on the level of knowledge of this population for the medical services, benefits provided from physiotherapeutic interventions and the level of patients with musculoskeletal issues that have never received such services. Methodology: This study included 490 subjects, 230 males and 260 females from the age of 18 to 80+, all living and receiving medical services on similar settings and backgrounds. Results: 65% of the total population had suffered at least one musculoskeletal issue during the past 3 months. From 320 subjects that had these issues only 6% where recommended to visit a physiotherapist after visiting their local doctor. Only 49% of the whole population knew about physiotherapeutic services .91% of the population preferred to have access of physiotherapeutic services on their local health center and 81% claimed that traveling to urban areas was an extra expense for their health care. Conclusions: Based on the data extracted from the study Albania would benefit from providing public physiotherapeutic services in rural and suburban areas to promote public health for the population. This would give employment opportunities for younger physiotherapists and prevent the higher densities of professionists on a single area.
Impact of physiotherapy in patients with Hemophilia A
Authors: ÇELA Alesia
Published: June 2023

Hemophilia is a congenital X-ray disease associated with bleeding in which blood does not clot. It is categorized as a hemostasis problem. Hemostasis, the cessation of blood flow as a result of damage to a blood vessel, is normally divided into two processes, primary hemostasis and secondary hemostasis. In hemophilia, the secondary hemostasis (which results in the formation of a clot in the fibrin) is in this case broken. So, low coagulation is due to an abnormal protein plasma clotting abnormality in factors VIII and IX that are involved. Aim: The aim of this study is to show that combined rehabilitation based in exercises is more effective just a simple therapy to improve hemophilia and reducing the symptoms. Methods: In this review study 30 studies were obtained which have used different physiotherapeutic methods in the treatment of hemophilia A. The elected studies ranged from 2001-2019. The literature is based on official sources as Cochrane library, Pubmed, MEDLINE, DOAJ, Medscape, Clinical trial.gov and some articles like is Official Journal of WFH , BMJ Open. Results: During the study it was observed that the combined physiotherapeutic rehabilitation had more efficiency than a simple treatment method. Conclusion: A physiotherapeutic rehabilitation with combined methods based on exercises gives better and positive results in the treatment of hemophilic patients.

Published: June 2023

This review’s purpose is to summarize the current state of knowledge on the systemic implication of chronic pulmonary obstructive disease Background: The ‘systemic repercussions’ of COPD are of great importance. These include accidental weight loss, skeletal muscle dysfunction, and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and depression. Frequently affecting the patient’s health and prognosis, these extrapulmonary COPD characteristics demand thorough screening and proper management to give the most effective medical care. Methods: We conducted a search of papers describing COPD as a systematic disease on the MEDLINE database. Discussion: Local and systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and changes in the neuro-humoral states are some of the likely candidate pathways by which these extrapulmonary complications of COPD are affected, even though the mechanisms for the association of COPD with systemic disorders have not been fully clarified. The processes and mechanisms behind the extrapulmonary symptoms of COPD will likely become more transparent with further research. Conclusion: COPD management should be based on a clear understanding of COPD-related comorbidities and their impact on COPD itself.
Análise do conflito do uso e cobertura do solo do município de Areia – PB em relação à legislação florestal

Published: June 2023

A superexploração dos recursos naturais afetará drasticamente a qualidade de vida nas próximas décadas. No Brasil, evidências revelam que muitas ações antrópicas, além de explorarem os recursos naturais de forma desordenada, estão em desacordo com a legislação no que se refere às Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APPs). Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi delimitar as APPs e mapear as classes de uso e cobertura da terra presentes no município de Areia, estado da Paraíba, averiguando a existência de conflitos de uso nessas áreas de preservação. O mapeamento de uso e cobertura da terra foi realizado pela interpretação de uma imagem do satélite PlanetScope, com resolução espacial de 3,125 m. A acurácia foi aferida através da identificação de um conjunto de locais amostrais e da aplicação dos índices Kappa e Tau. Delimitaram-se as áreas de APP ao redor de nascentes e da rede de drenagem. Os resultados obtidos com a utilização dos índices Kappa e Tau foram de 0,79 e 0,82, respectivamente. A principal classe de uso e cobertura da terra diagnosticada no município foi a pastagem, com 59,5%. Pela observação de campo, essa extensa área de pasto está, em boa parte, degradada, subutilizada ou em estado de abandono. A proporção de classes de uso e cobertura da Terra em Areia é espelho do que ocorre em muitos outros locais no Brasil. Sugere-se, portanto, que essas áreas subutilizadas sejam incorporadas à demanda de expansão das fronteiras de produção agrícola e agropecuária, sem necessitar modificar áreas preservadas. Também se observou que cerca de 70% das áreas de APPs delimitadas têm uso ou cobertura inadequado, tendo em consideração as restrições de uso a que estão sujeitas pela legislação ambiental. Por fim, recomenda-se aos gestores públicos a adequação ambiental das APPs através da criação de políticas públicas que promovam a manutenção dos recursos hídricos e a adequação ambiental dos imóveis rurais no município através de pagamento por serviços ambientais ou outros instrumentos de incentivo e sensibilização.

Comunidades de formigas podem ser avaliadas em áreas com diferentes usos do solo visando conhecer os fatores que afetam a riqueza, a diversidade e a composição de espécies. O objetivo foi avaliar a influência de atributos ambientais sobre a mirmecofauna em áreas cultivadas, abordando também um remanescente de floresta nativa. A mirmecofauna foi coletada em uma agrofloresta, uma área cultivada com espécies frutíferas (fruticultura), em uma pastagem e na Reserva Legal da Fazendinha Experimental do Centro Universitário Una, município de Bom Despacho, estado de Minas Gerais. Para a amostragem das formigas, foram utilizadas em cada área 15 armadilhas de solo e o mesmo número de armadilhas arbóreas, todas contendo iscas de sardinha e mel. Foram coletadas 45 espécies de formigas, pertencentes a 16 gêneros. A maior riqueza de espécies ocorreu na Reserva Legal (29), seguida da agrofloresta (23), da pastagem (19) e da fruticultura (17). As curvas de acumulação de espécies indicaram que a riqueza total de espécies foi significativamente maior na Reserva Legal que nas demais áreas. A riqueza média de espécies de formigas coletadas sobre o solo foi significativamente maior na área de Reserva Legal e agrofloresta (ANCOVA; F = 5,069; p < 0,01), mas a profundidade de serapilheira não influenciou significativamente a riqueza de espécies (ANCOVA; F = 1,086; p= 0,30). Não houve diferença significativa na riqueza média de formigas sobre árvores nas diferentes áreas avaliadas (ANCOVA; F = 2,014; p = 0,12), não sendo influenciada pela altura (ANCOVA; F = 0,626; p = 0,43) ou CAP (ANCOVA; F = 0,776; p = 0,38) das árvores. A Reserva Legal apresentou o maior Índice de Diversidade de Shannon (2,999), seguida da agrofloresta (2.736), pastagem (2.698) e fruticultura (2.349). Houve influência do tipo de uso do solo na composição de espécies de formigas coletadas sobre o solo e plantas. Os resultados evidenciam que atributos ambientais ligados a heterogeneidade do ambiente, como o número de espécies vegetais, proporcionaram diferenças na riqueza, diversidade e na composição da fauna de formigas. O aumento da complexidade estrutural do ambiente pode proporcionar a presença de maior riqueza e diversidade de espécies de formigas.

Brazil owns a large vegetal covering and the best utilization of these materials requires physical and mechanical characterization procedures. Equations found in the literature make easier the wood properties determination. At this context, well known authors developed the equation βl = βt/23, being βl and βt the longitudinal and tangential shrinkage percentages, for βl estimation based on the βt value specially for wood species from the Northern hemisphere. This paper aims to investigate the accuracy of this equation for fifteen tropical Brazilian wood species covering the entire range of hardwood strength classes according to the Brazilian Normative ABNT NBR7190. The average experimental values of βl and βt were 7.71% (CV = 26,71%) and 0.73% (CV = 38,76%), respectively. The non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA refuted the hypothesis of equivalence between theoretical and experimental βl values (p-value = 0.0000). A linear regression model fitted to experimental values provided βl = βt/9,84 as optimal solution (p-value = 0.0000, R2 = 47,23%). According to results it is possible to conclude that the value of longitudinal shrinkage percentage of tropical Brazilian wood species is statistically 2,34 times greater than the value found in the literature, which impacts the design of timber structures procedures increasing the internal stresses in timber structural elements.

O sensoriamento remoto, por meio das técnicas de razão de bandas para o monitoramento nutricional de plantios clonais de eucalipto, é fundamental para garantir a sanidade, produtividade e reduzir custos de empreendimentos florestais. Objetivou-se aplicar índices de vegetação a partir de imagens de satélite de alta resolução na diagnose nutricional de macronutrientes em plantios de híbridos clonais de Eucalyptus urophylla S. T. Blake. O estudo foi realizado em 62 áreas de seis municípios do estado da Bahia sob cultivo de plantios homogêneos de eucalipto, com idades entre 1,3 e 1,8 anos. O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado com seis tratamentos constituídos pelo regime pluviométrico (1000 a 1300 mm ano-1 e 1300 a 1600 mm ano-1) e tipos de solo (classe e textura). A diagnose nutricional de nitrogênio (N), fósforo (P), potássio (K), cálcio (Ca), magnésio (Mg) e enxofre (S) foi realizada a partir da análise foliar e da determinação dos índices de vegetação: índice de vegetação por diferença normalizada (NDVI), índice de diferença normalizada da água (NDWI) e índice de vegetação ajustado ao solo (SAVI). As áreas avaliadas possuem alto vigor (NDVI > 0,70) e os maiores valores foram observados nas regiões chuvosas (1300 a 1600 mm ano-1) (médio de 0,78). O índice NDWI apresenta maior correlação para os teores médios de Ca e Mg. Os índices NDVI, NDWI e SAVI apresentam forte correlação entre si (-0,97 a 1,00) e podem auxiliar no mapeamento do vigor e consequentemente na produtividade de eucalipto.

Drimys brasiliensis Miers, conhecida popularmente por cataia, é uma espécie arbórea nativa da Mata Atlântica que apresenta importância fitoquímica, fitoterapêutica, aromática e econômica, com amplo uso na medicina popular. É considerada uma espécie de difícil multiplicação via sementes, apresentando dormência por imaturidade embrionária. Assim, objetivou-se com este estudo analisar o resgate vegetativo, estabelecimento in vitro e a propagação via estaquia de Drimys brasiliensis. Para o resgate, realizou-se a aplicação das técnicas de anelamento a 30 e 90 cm do solo, semianelamento a 30 cm do solo e galhos podados acondicionados vertical e horizontalmente, sendo avaliada a capacidade de emissão de brotações. Com as brotações obtidas pelo resgate vegetativo, foram confeccionados os explantes utilizados para o estabelecimento in vitro, avaliando diferentes tempos de imersão em hipoclorito de sódio 1,0 % (v/v) (0, 10, 15 e 20 minutos). Foram avaliadas as percentagens de contaminação total, bacteriana, fúngica e oxidação fenólica. Na estaquia foram testadas brotações oriundas do resgate vegetativo, da parte aérea de indivíduo adulto e de galhos destacados e acondicionados em mini-túnel. Avaliaram-se a porcentagem de sobrevivência das estacas, porcentagem de estacas com calos e porcentagem de enraizamento. Em relação ao resgate vegetativo, a técnica de galhos podados resultou na indução de brotações, destacando os galhos acondicionados verticalmente (100%). No estabelecimento in vitro, a imersão em hipoclorito de sódio (1%) por 20 minutos se mostrou eficiente no controle da contaminação por fungos, entretanto, não foram observadas diferenças significativas em relação ao controle de contaminação bacteriana. Na estaquia, o uso de estacas provenientes de galhos podados ou anelamento/semianelamento mostrou potencial para estas técnicas na clonagem da espécie, obtendo resultados próximos a 10% de enraizamento. No geral, a espécie apresenta potencial de propagação vegetativa, contudo, são necessários ajustes nos protocolos de estabelecimento in vitro e estaquia.
“Rahul is a Math Nerd” and “Mia Can Be a Drama Queen”: How Mixed-Reality Simulations Can Perpetuate Racist and Sexist Stereotypes
Authors: Bondurant Liza , Reinholz Daniel
Published: June 2023

This article focuses on using simulations of practice in teacher education. We studied preservice teachers’ engagement with a popular simulations platform, which creates mixed-reality simulations of five digital avatars controlled by a single live interactor. Because simulations are only an approximation of real practice, our overarching goal was to understand how mathematical stereotypes might arise in simulated spaces. We used Discourse analysis to classify the stereotypes present and the EQUIP observation tool to understand how PTs made participation opportunities available. We found that the simulations might have perpetuated overtly racist and sexist stereotypes and that negatively stereotyped students were afforded lower-quality opportunities to participate. We discuss how to mitigate potential harm caused and offer guidance for redesigning more equitable and antiracist simulations. Our goal is to raise critical questions for our field around the use of simulations of practice.
