Authors: Sanches de Sousa Fernanda , Correa Leite Marco
Published: November 2021

INTRODUÇÃO: O presente artigo é fruto de uma revisão bibliográfica com o intuito de evidenciar os efeitos do tratamento psicanalítico, não apenas enquanto algo da ordem do reportado pelos pacientes, mas também enquanto algo que pode ser mensurado a partir de alterações bioquímicas verificadas durante e após o tratamento psicanalítico. OBJETIVOS: Verificar se a psicanálise pode ter seus efeitos cientificamente mensuráveis para além dos relatos dos pacientes e dos analistas e, em último caso, apontar para uma possível eficácia do tratamento com relação às psicopatologias contemporâneas. MÉTODO: Pesquisa bibliográfica sistemática de artigos científicos, publicados de 2008 até a presente data, que demonstravam os efeitos verificáveis de uma análise nos pacientes, sejam alterações funcionais ou bioquímicas. RESULTADOS: Foram encontradas inúmeras evidências dos efeitos de um trabalho psicanalítico no decorrer do tratamento, e também, após o término do mesmo. CONCLUSÃO: Com este estudo foi possível verificar que a psicanálise é efetiva para uma série de transtornos mentais e que pode ser o tratamento padrão ouro, quando respeitados os devidos cuidados com relação à formação dos analistas. Novas pesquisas devem ser realizadas, fazendo um comparativo mais amplo entre a psicanálise e outras modalidades no campo da saúde mental.

INTRODUÇÃO: O excesso de gordura corporal causa alterações metabólicas complexas que acentuam na patogênese e progressão da doença renal crônica (DRC). Além disto, os aspectos comportamentais negativos, como sintomas depressivos e o sedentarismo, são comuns e podem estar associados ao acúmulo de gordura corporal em pacientes que realizam tratamento em hemodiálise (HD). OBJETIVO: Verificar a associação entre os sintomas depressivos e a gordura corporal em pacientes com DRC em HD. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo transversal de um centro clínico de HD em Brasília?DF. Trinta e nove pacientes foram incluídos (59,3±16,7; idade). A composição corporal foi avaliada por meio de bioimpedância tetrapolar. O inventário de depressão de Beck foi empregado para mensurar os sintomas depressivos. Para analisar a associação entre os sintomas depressivos e a gordura corporal foi adotado o teste de correlação de Spearman. RESULTADOS: Foi observado uma prevalência de depressão de 17,9%. Os sintomas depressivos foram positivamente correlacionados com a gordura corporal (r = 0,42; p = 0,008). CONCLUSÃO: Em nossos resultados, confirmamos que os sintomas depressivos estão associados à gordura corporal em pacientes com DRC em HD. Estes achados demonstram-se importantes para a prática clínica dos profissionais de saúde, sobretudo, nos aspectos dietéticos e psicológicos em pacientes com DRC, de forma que iniciativas de diagnóstico, prevenção e tratamentos sejam priorizadas com o objetivo de reduzir tais condições.

Paintings crack initiation time caused by microclimate
Authors: Mohammad Yaghoub Abdollahzadeh Jamalabadi
Published: November 2021

The current paper aims to use an irreversible cohesive zone model to investigate the effects of temperature and relative humidity cycles on multilayer thin-film paintings. The homogenous one-dimensional paint layers composed of alkyd and acrylic gesso over a canvas foundation (support) with known constant thicknesses are considered as the mechanical model of painting. Experimental data was used for mathematical modeling of canvas as a linear elastic material and paint as a viscoelastic material with the Prony series. Growth of crack through the length of the paint layers under the low amplitude cyclic stresses are modeled by cyclic mechanical loadings. The three-dimensional system is modeled using a finite element method. Fatigue damage parameters such as crack initiation time and maximum loads are calculated by an irreversible cohesive zone model used to control the interface separation. In addition, the effects of initial crack length and layers thickness are studied. With the increase of the painting thickness and/or the initial crack length, the value of the maximum force increases. Moreover, by increasing the Relative Humidity (RH) and the temperature difference at loading by one cycle per day, the values of initiation time of delamination decrease. It is shown that the thickness of painting layers is the most important parameter in crack initiation times and crack growth rate in historical paintings in museums and conservation settings.

Authors: Malina Maria S. , Tytyuk Sergey Yu. , Iordanishvili Andrey K.
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: Information about the chemical composition of tooth root cement is limited, although it can contribute to clarifying the mechanisms of tooth root surface caries development and in improving methods of its treatment and prevention.
AIM: This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition of cement in intact teeth and in teeth with root caries in adults of different age groups.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The average Ca, P, and Ca/P-coefficient in the cement of the intact teeth and in the caries of the root was obtained, and a tendency toward a decrease in the total mineralization of the cement in the caries of the root was also found.
RESULTS: In adults experiencing hyperesthesia of hard dental tissues, regardless of age and sex, the morphological picture is similar and is determined by pathological changes of carious and non-carious origin in tooth tissues that cause hyperesthesia.
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate and severe hyperesthesia of the hard tissues of the adult teeth results in a decrease in the level of mineralization in the enamel, dentin, as well as in cement relative to the intact teeth.
Comparison of the effectiveness of Trioxident and Сanal Mineral Trioxide agregate for capping perforations in the pulp cavity
Authors: Lipetskaya Ekaterina A. , Furtsev Taras V.
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: The modern trend of dentistry is the principle of minimal invasiveness. Preservation of the vitality of the tooth is an actual principle of operation. In the treatment of deep caries or pulpitis by a biological method, the pulp chamber is often opened. Even with bleeding, there is a chance to leave the tooth vital. After hemostasis, antibacterial treatment of the carious cavity and padding were performed. Domestic manufacturers offer two analogues for these purposes "Trioxident" and "Kanal MTA.
AIM: The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of domestic materials "Trioxident" and "Kanal MTA" when used as a therapeutic and insulating coating of pulp.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 27 clinical cases were analyzed in patients aged 2335 with a diagnosis of "deep dentine caries" K02.2 (according to ICD-10) of molars and premolars of the upper and lower jaws. All clinical cases combined patients' complaints of intermittent aching pains, the depth of carious cavities and the opened tooth cavity at one point. The patients were divided into two groups, in each of which the following stages of diagnosis and treatment were carried out. Diagnostics was carried out before the start of work and during examination after 7 days, 6, 12, 18 months. The stages of caries treatment were the same, only the materials for closing the perforations differed: in group 1 "Trioxidant", in group 2 "Kanal MTA".
RESULTS: It is noted that the use of materials "Trioxident" and "Kanal MTA" is an effective choice for closing perforations of the pulp chamber in the treatment of deep caries and chronic pulpitis. Pain was absent in 30.8% and 42.1% of patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively. After 6, 12, 18 months, patients did not complain about the treated teeth, the cold test was positive for a short time in 26 cases, the average current at electroodontodiagnostic (minimum value 4, maximum value 8) was 5.6 A, 25 restorations had an Alpha rating according to Ryge criteria, in one case in group 1, the tooth crown darkened pointwise from the vestibular surface.
CONCLUSION: The materials "Trioxident" and "Kanal MTA" are recommended for use in the biological method of pulpitis treatment. They have therapeutic potential to cover the pulp and are competitive in relation to the foreign equivalent of "MTA Prorut", which gives them an economic advantage in providing dental care within the framework of compulsory medical insurance.

Authors: Muzikin Maxim I. , Golovko Arseniy A. , Melnikov Mikhail V. , Iordanishvili Andrey K. , Ratnikov Vyacheslav A.
Published: November 2021

Odontogenic cysts of the jaw are one of the most common diseases of the maxillofacial region, the main methods of treatment of which are cystotomy and cystectomy. Despite the widespread use of these surgical methods of treatment they are not without drawbacks. The presented clinical material shows the possibility of treating a patient with a large cavity formation of the jaw body by decompression drainage (marsupialization). The proposed surgical manual can be used either in isolation (the main method of treatment), or in combination with subsequent cystectomy. In modern domestic and foreign literature, publications devoted to this method of treatment of large and giant jaw cysts are rare, and therefore this clinical observation is presented.
Investigation of the quality of life of patients with dental conditions: medical and social aspects
Authors: Aivazov Georgy T. , Fomina Anna V.
Published: November 2021

Problems on the quality of life of patients with diseases of the dentoalveolar apparatus are focused on medical and social aspects. Quality of life studies allow learning not only of the well-being of the patients but also of the disadvantages of various medical interventions in the field of dentistry. Depending on the scope of application, the concept of the quality of life can combine different categories and even systems. Dentistry occupies a leading position because of the scale of morbidities, so there is a close relationship between violations in the functions of the dental apparatus and functions of all body systems. The concept of the quality of life related to oral health is quite vague, which has led to the emergence of various definitions of quality of life related to oral health. Studies of the quality of life in dentistry are carried our using specialized questionnaires in connection with periodontal diseases and adentia, and authors note a close relationship between the absence of teeth and low quality of life. This article considers and analyzes the issue of the relevance of the quality of life associated with the incidence of oral diseases using various questionnaires, including both medical and social issues.

Authors: Skvortsov Dmitry V. , Kaurkin Sergey N. , Ivanova Galina E. , Polyaev Boris B. , Bulatova Mariya A.
Published: November 2021

Background: Currently, training of the gait function for patients with cerebral stroke using the biofeedback technology is an independent, effective, and promising method. The most common training and exposure parameters are the gait speed, cycle length, and cadence. However, the application of basic and more complex types of selective training using wearable sensor technology is rare due to the technological complexity of their use for biofeedback.
Aims: To study the possibility of using the biofeedback training technology with a targeted effect on one of the basic parameters characterizing the symmetry of walking, the duration of the support period, in patients in the early recovery period of cerebral stroke.
Methods: We examined 12 patients who underwent a course of biofeedback training to harmonize the period of support during the early recovery period of hemispheric cerebral stroke in the middle cerebral artery basin. The biomechanics of voluntary walking was investigated before and after the training. The spatio-temporal parameters of walking, kinematics of movements in the hip, knee, and ankle joints, and the maximum EMG amplitudes of the main muscle groups responsible for walking were recorded. The classical clinical scales were also used. The biofeedback training on a treadmill consisted of 10 sessions; the duration of the support period was the training parameter.
Results. As a result of the treatment, a significant improvement was noted according to the UpGo clinical scale and Hausers walking index. The differences in the trained support phase after the treatment are not significant and demonstrate positive changes. The kinematics of movements in the joints also demonstrates relatively small, but significant changes for the knee joint. For the hip joint, no dynamics in the parameters values is observed; the joint function does not change significantly, and the amplitude asymmetry remains unchanged. For the knee joint, the greatest dynamics is observed for the main swing amplitude and its phase.
Conclusion: The study has shown that the purposeful biofeedback training of the gait function using the support period to reduce the functional asymmetry in this parameter, and also has a positive effect on other gait parameters.

Published: November 2021

Background: Degenerative pathology of the facet joints of the lumbar spine remains a significant medical and social problem due to persistent pain syndrome, high incidence and disability rate.
Clinical case description: A patient complaining of pain and discomfort in the lumbosacral spine on the right, arising in the upright position, intensifying with bending and flexion-extension of the trunk, and periodically spreading to the right gluteal region and along the posterior surface of the thigh, was admitted to the neurosurgical department of the Irkutsk Scientific Center of Surgery and Traumatology. A surgical treatment was performed in the form of dereception of the LIILIII, LIIILIV, LIVLV arch-process joints. In the postoperative period, the patient noted a decrease in the intensity of pain in the lumbosacral spine to 3 points by a visual analog scale and was discharged from the department on the 5th day after the surgery in a satisfactory condition.
Conclusion: Facet joint pathologies represent a most common nosological form of the degenerative-dystrophic process (spondyloarthrosis) and a potential source of pain with the formation of instability of the spinal motion segment and chronic pain syndrome. The complex anatomical and topographic relationships between the facet joints, intervertebral discs, and radicular nerves force clinicians to pay attention to the pathology of facet syndrome. Understanding the morphological, clinical, and radiological features of the course of the facet joint degeneration makes it possible to increase the diagnostic capabilities for detecting facet syndrome of the lumbar spine and effectively apply transcutaneous surgical technologies for the treatment of chronic pain syndromes.

Published: November 2021

The absence of hot flushes in postmenopausal women is not a sign of well being. These women have unfavorable lipid's profile and lower BMD than women who have or had hot flushes in the past. Their metabolic parameters are like those with severe and frequently hot flushes. Thus, they need active physician's attention. The revealed differences in hormonal profile mean that not only low levels or decrease of E2 but alteration of adrenal and thyroid function play some role in the pathogenesis of hot flushes.

Authors: Svetozarova I. V. , Fedorova A. I.
Published: November 2021

93 patients who had undergone unilateral oophorectomy for benign pathologies were interviewed. The investigators were interested in their opinion on the outcomes of performed surgery in regard to the physical status, psychologic well-being and sexual life before, during disease and after operation. The results оf complex investigations showed that 38,7% women didnt have alterations in their sexuality after unilateral oophorectomy, 37,6% respondents reported improvement in their sexual life after surgery and 23,6% reported deterioration. The improvement in patients sexuality was due to the relief of dyspareunia after the operation (31,4%), the improvement in interpersonal relationships and the natural process of sexual adaptation (68,6%). Worsening in sexual life was caused by various postoperative endocrine dysfunctions and estrogen deficiency (59,1% of patients) leading to decrease in libido, impaired lubrication resulted in dyspareunia. In 40,9% of patients sexual dysfunction was induced by different psychotraumatic situations resulted or not from the surgery itself.

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: In the system of medical and social expertise and rehabilitation of disabled people, the solution of issues of employment, socialization, improvement of the level and quality of their life becomes obviously relevant.
AIMS: To study and analyze the needs of disabled people in vocational rehabilitation, including employment and the creation of special jobs, in a comparative aspect - in St. Petersburg and the Russian Federation.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. The materials of the study were data from Rosstat of Russia, official state statistical reporting: Forms 7-sobes "Information on medical and social expertise of persons aged 18 and older" for 20152019.
RESULTS: The article analyzes the indicators of primary disability and the needs of disabled people in vocational rehabilitation activities based on the study of the individual rehabilitation or habilitation program (IPRA) for disabled people in Saint Petersburg and the Russian Federation in dynamics over five years (20152019). An analysis of the needs for vocational rehabilitation measures, taking into account its structure in IPRA (vocational guidance and employment) and the disability group, was carried out. Since the greatest difficulties arise in the selection and organization of jobs for people with disabilities of groups I and II, the needs of people with disabilities in creating a special workplace have been studied. The necessity of solving organizational, methodological, and financial issues when creating special jobs for the disabled is emphasized.
CONCLUSION: The implementation of the state program "Accessible environment" and its subprograms aimed at creating models of employment of disabled people in the regions of the Russian Federation requires taking into account the territorial characteristics of the prevalence of primary disability and the specifics of the regional labor market in the employment of disabled people.
Features of the organization of medical rehabilitation at the present stage

Published: November 2021

The development of rehabilitation at the present stage is one of the priorities in the field of health and social development. Not only medical organizations, but also other organizations can take part in carrying out medical rehabilitation activities. A prerequisite for the implementation of rehabilitation activities is the availability of a license for medical activity with an indication of medical rehabilitation work. Of great concern is the issue of staffing of medical organizations, especially primary care, by such specialists as a doctor of physical and rehabilitation medicine, a doctor of medical rehabilitation, a medical speech therapist, an ergorehabilitation specialist, etc. In the absence of these specialists in medical organizations, it is impossible to form interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams, and in their absence, the solution of medical rehabilitation issues is questionable.
The article contains an analysis of the current legal framework for medical rehabilitation. The stages of medical rehabilitation in medical organizations are reflected in accordance with the scale of rehabilitation routing. Four groups of medical organizations carrying out medical rehabilitation have been identified. The shortcomings of the current legal framework for medical rehabilitation are indicated, since a comprehensive rehabilitation system is currently being formed in the Russian Federation. For its successful development and implementation in the practical activities of medical organizations and social institutions, a regulatory and legal framework is being developed and improved.
The approved Procedure for the organization of medical rehabilitation will allow to systematize and organize this work at a qualitatively new level.
Activities of the Local Government During a State of Natural Disaster
Authors: Czuryk Małgorzata
Published: November 2021

As one of the states of exception, a state of a natural disaster often makes public administration, including local governments, take actions that restrict the sphere of human rights and civil liberties. One-person bodies are entrusted with being in charge in matters related to a state of natural disaster. Actions taken during a state of natural disaster to prevent or remove its effects are managed by the commune executive body when the state of a natural disaster was introduced only in the territory of the commune. However, if the state of a natural disaster was introduced in more than one commune in a district, then the starost is in charge of the operations. As a monocratic body is entrusted with executive powers, decisions can be taken faster and time is essential from the point of view of the effects of a natural disaster. Due to a formalized method of decision-taking, a collegial body may not respond adequately to a dynamically developing threat.
Komu służy prawo? Libertariańska koncepcja Alberta Jaya Nocka
Authors: Górecki Olgierd
Published: November 2021

Albert Jay Nock (1870–1945) was a prominent opinion journalist of the first half of the 20th century, considered a representative of the first generation of libertarianism. The article is aimed at finding an answer to the question: Whom – according to Nock – does law serve? A key element of the problem is the internal dichotomy of the concept of law, which not only can be seen through the prism of the positivist-legal paradigm, but also constitutes the pillar of the jusnaturalistic concept. To properly arrange the object of study, the thesis was used according to which in Nock’s doctrine the existence of radically different assessment of the nature of man and his individual goals from the nature of the functioning of the State allows us to demonstrate the dichotomy of two opposing legal orders that serve the welfare of different entities (the individual and the State). To systematize the argument, the concept of the individual and his relations with the State was first presented, and then the dichotomy of the government and the State was discussed, which ultimately finally allowed to analyze the relationship between natural law and positive law.
Legal Effects of Failures to Technical Devices and ICT Networks Which Are Used for Submitting Electronic Applications to Administrative Authorities and Legal Effects of Errors in Data Transmission of e-Submission: Comments Based on General Administrative Proceedings in Poland
Authors: Skóra Agnieszka , Kardasz Paweł
Published: November 2021

This paper aims at an analysis of legal effects of failures occurring to technical devices and ICT networks which are used for submitting electronic applications to administrative authorities within general administrative proceedings in form of e-submissions as well as legal effects of errors in data transmission in connection with the process of sending such submissions. Problems emerging in such situations make a very interesting yet not fully studied issue. So far no written analyses have been issued and the single cases that happen are resolved by administrative courts on an ad causam basis. Despite the fact that the administrative proceedings digitalization process has been going on for over 20 years, its importance has actually been confirmed now, during the COVID-19 pandemic, partially due to the necessity of meeting the sanitary measures, avoiding gatherings, limited or suspended operations of the public institutions on site which makes the electronic communication between the participants of administrative proceedings “attractive”. For this reason, electronic administrative proceedings have become an attractive solution in this difficult and unpredictable period. The authors formulated here a hypothesis that malfunctions of technical devices or ICT networks used for submitting applications or motions may result even in failure to submit the said applications. In some cases, however, it is possible to eliminate such a negative effect by applying Article 58 of the Administrative Proceedings Code. On the other hand, an error in data transmission of an application consolidated in the electronic form depending on the nature of the error and the stage of the proceeding where such error has been noted may be – in the authors’ opinion – as a rule, deemed a formal failing. Article 64 § 2 of the Administrative Proceedings Code refers to the indicated cases.
Сriminal Law Protection of the Autonomy of Patients in Ukraine. Part 1
Authors: Likhova Sofiya , Mozgawa Marek
Published: November 2021

The article aims to analyze the phenomenon of “patient’s autonomy” as an object of criminal law protection. Patients’ autonomy is one of the most important rights. Respect for it is one of the factors ensuring the correct treatment process. The article is divided into two parts. In this part, the authors analyze the legal acts of Ukraine, which regulate the process of providing medical services and guarantee patients’ right to autonomy. The authors discuss, i.a., the issue of the patient’s consent to medical interventions or the right to information about his or her state of health. They also point to statistics on offences committed by medical staff members in connection with their professional activities. Furthermore, they point out that the problem of violation of patient’s autonomy should be looked at not only from the legal but also from the social point of view. This applies to the patient–medical relationship, in which the doctor plays a leading role. Moreover, the content of these relations lies not only on the professional but also on the bioethical level.
Sądowa kontrola decyzji organów podatkowych w sprawach ulg w spłacie zobowiązań podatkowych opartych na uznaniu administracyjnym
Authors: Niezgoda Andrzej
Published: November 2021

The article is of a scientific-research nature. The author discusses the problem of limits of judicial review of discretionary decisions made by taxation authorities, which aim at applying relief in payments of tax liabilities under Polish regulations and case-law of administrative courts. It may be noted that despite the issue of administrative discretion being discussed in the academic literature, the question of limits of judicial review in the practice of administrative courts still raises doubts. It is therefore reasonable to undertake the analysis of the main views formulated in the literature and the case-law of administrative courts addressing this problem, from the point of view of the limits of judicial review of discretionary decisions. The thesis of the article is that the nature of discretionary decisions on relief in payment of tax liabilities, determined by the function of administrative discretion, and, at the same time, the criteria set out in the law for judicial review of public administration, limit the role of the administrative court in examining the compliance with procedural law of the tax proceedings preceding the issuance of such a decision and the respecting by tax authorities of the fundamental values of the system of law expressed in the Polish Constitution. This is because they define the limits of administrative discretion, within which the choice of one of the possible solutions remains beyond the judicial review of the public administration. For the law, as it stands (de lege lata) there are no grounds for administrative courts, provided that the tax authorities respect the basic values of the legal system expressed in the Polish Constitution, to formulate assessments as to the circumstances and reasons justifying the granting or refusal to grant a tax relief, or its scope. The concept of internal and external limits of administrative discretion may therefore be useful for administrative court rulings.

A guardianship court may appoint in non-litigious proceedings a guardian for a disabled person (Article 183 of the Polish Family and Guardianship Code, hereinafter: FGC) and for a partially incapacitated person (Article 181 FGC). It is not always possible to precisely delimit the areas of application of these provisions which entails problems in practice. Particularly problematic is the nature of the guardianship established for a disabled person and for a partially incapacitated person and the scope of the powers of both guardians. Especially debatable is the status of the guardian of a partially incapacitated person, who has not been authorized by the court to manage the assets of the ward and represent him/her. The purpose of this article is to indicate the scope of action of the guardian appointed for a disabled person and for a partially incapacitated person together with the determination of their status. The guardian is established for a partially incapacitated person, who, under the authority to represent and manage the property of the ward, is the ward’s statutory representative. The guardian appointed for a disabled person, who is not a statutory representative of this person, has a different status. The guardian under Article 183 FGC provides, above all, factual assistance to a person who has not been incapacitated, even if the person is affected by mental dysfunctions, while the guardian under Article 181 FGC provides assistance in legal acts, procedural acts and factual acts not relating to legal acts for a person who has been partially incapacitated.
The Procedural Autonomy of Hungarian Administrative Justice as a Precondition of Effective Judicial Protection
Authors: Rozsnyai Krisztina F.
Published: November 2021

The article is aimed at showing the hesitant and slow developments whereby the Hungarian administrative justice should be approached to the dualistic model of administrative justice. After 40 years of almost total monism, and 25 years of transition, one decisive step was made with the promulgation of the Code of Administrative Court Procedure. The article investigates why its concept taking form in the declaration of the principle of autonomy of administrative court procedure rules is crucial for providing effective legal protection against administration in Hungary, and what safeguards the Code contains to foster this autonomy, and by this, the strengthening of a functional administrative justice.

Currently, plastic waste is a very serious threat because plastic waste pollution can harm all living things around and also harm the environment. The increasing volume of plastic waste is due to the lack of processing technology, so that the volume of plastic waste is increasing day by day. Plastic is a material that is difficult to decompose because it is non-biodegradable. One application of plastic waste processing technology offered in this study is to use the pyrolysis principle. Pyrolysis is a method of converting plastic into fuel oil through a thermal decomposition process without the use of oxygen. The pyrolysis process used with a variety of reactors equipped with glass wool and reactor variations without glass wool. The purpose of this study was to compare the yield of pyrolysis oil with a variety of reactors equipped with glass wool and reactors without glass wool. The plastic used is OPP (oriented polypropylene), with a constant reactor heating temperature of 200° C. The pyrolysis process is carried out for 1 hour each test, and the condenser cooling temperature is 28° C. Based on the results of the research, the reactor variation with glass wool got the highest oil weight of 175 grf, while the reactor variation without glass wool got the lowest oil weight of 17 grf. With a variety of reactors equipped with glass wool, the heat generated is more concentrated into the reactor core, resulting in higher oil weight and a more efficient pyrolysis process.

Research aims: This study aims to examine the role of career development in mediating the relationship between intellectual capital and organizational culture on employee performance.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a proportional stratified random sampling method with 126 permanent employees of local banks in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, as research respondents. The respondents included Head Office, Main Branch Office, and Senopati Branch Office. The data were collected by distributing a questionnaire, and the secondary data were in the form of data or documents that supported and strengthened the primary information from books, magazines, journals, and other documents. Then, the analytical tool utilized in this study was SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) to test the research hypotheses.Research findings: The results showed that intellectual capital and organizational culture had a positive and significant effect on career development and performance, but career development had no positive and significant effect on performance. Meanwhile, career development could not mediate the effect of intellectual capital and organizational culture on performance.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The study results contribute to the literature (body of knowledge), especially as additional discussion toward theory and literature related to intellectual capital, organizational culture, career development, and performance in local banks, which is still very limited.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in the puerperium. Unfortunately in Nigerian tertiary institutions, there is paucity of information about its risk factors, screening for it, and its prophylaxis. The aim of the study therefore was to review the VTE risk and thromboprophylaxis in the puerperium at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH), Nigeria.Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study carried out at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH). The following data were extracted from the notes of 424 consecutive inpatients postnatal women who delivered from the 1st of January to the 30th of April 2020: history/demographic characteristics, risk factors for VTE using the RCOG Green top guideline No. 37a.of 2015 as a benchmark, thromboprophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of VTE. Women with a VTE event in the preceding 4 months before pregnancy were excluded. Data was analysed using a statistical package for social science (SPSS) software, version 18.Results: Risk assessment for VTE and its prophylaxis in the puerperium were not routine practice at the UPTH. 420 (99.06%) out of the total 424 postpartum women that were assessed were at significant risk of developing VTE and therefore needed to be on thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin. Irrespective of the high prevalence of risk factors and the fact that 100 (23.58%) of the patients had symptoms and signs of VTE, no case of VTE was recorded in the study population. Paucity of information and lack of knowledge about the diseases may be responsible for that.Conclusions: 420 (99.06%) out of the total 424 puerperal women were at significant risk of developing VTE and therefore needed to be on thromboprophylaxis in the puerperium. It was therefore recommended that a national guideline on VTE in the puerperium be written, taking into consideration local disease topography, ethnic diversity and the level of economic development in Nigeria.

Background: Caesarean section (CS) is one of the most common surgical procedure in obstetrics. It involves a surgical incision made through the abdominal and uterine walls to deliver the foetus and placenta after the period of foetal viability.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study aimed at reviewing emergency caesarean section in Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) over a 5-year period, to determine the prevalence and sequelae. Data were analysed using IBM Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 25.0 (Armonk, NY).Results: During the review period, there were 13516 deliveries and 3699 cases of emergency CS, giving the prevalence of emergency CS as 27.4% or 274 per 1000 deliveries. Majority (90%) of the parturient were unbooked. The most common complication in women that had emergency caesarean section was fever (56.4%), followed by endometritis (14.7%), absconding from hospital (8.8%), urinary tract infection (7.1%) and wound infection (6.1%). There was a statistically significant association between types of CS and their sequelae, χ2=1153.9, p<0.001, (95% CI: 0.000, 0.000). Women that had emergency CS were 101 times more likely to have a complication compared to those that had planned CS.Conclusions: The rate of emergency caesarean section is high in RSUTH and with more complications compared to planned caesarean section. Booking for antenatal care, early presentation for delivery, birth preparedness and complication readiness will enhance improved maternal and perinatal outcome.

Published: November 2021

Background: About 10-12% of couples are unable to conceive by natural means despite concerted efforts and these figures have risen in past few decades. In recent years, effect of oxidative stress on the fertility has been widely recognised. Oxidative stress has been known to affect both male and female fertility reducing sperm count and motility in men, and affecting ovum reserve and quality in women. Melatonin is the secretion of the pineal gland responsible for circadian sleep rhythm has also shown to be good antioxidant. Aim and objective of current study was to study effect of melatonin addition to clomiphene citrate for induction of ovulation with a view to improve conception rates.Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 52 women with infertility who were given clomiphene citrate with melatonin. Ovulation, conception rates and pregnancy outcomes were noted.Results: We observed 77.8%ovulation rates, and a significantly better conception and live birth rates.Conclusions: Melatonin, as an anti-oxidant may improve, conception and live birth rates when added to clomiphene citrate induction protocols.
