Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT The development of technologies will certainly contribute to boost the commercial exploitation and domestication of Spondias tuberosa. The objective of the present study was to identify morphophysiological effects of gibberellin on the growth of S. tuberosa seedlings. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Goiás State University, Brazil, using 300-day-old S. tuberosa seedlings planted in 12-liter pots containing soil (Typic Hapludox), sand, and manure (3:1:0.5). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with five replications and six treatments consisting of single foliar applications of 30 mL plant-1 of solutions with different gibberellin (GA3) concentrations (0, 150, 300, 450, 600, and 750 mg L-1), using a manual sprayer. The plants were evaluated at 60 days after the applications. The maximum biomass accumulation in S. tuberosa seedlings was found with the use of 415 mg L-1 of GA3. The use of gibberellin accelerated the vegetative growth of S. tuberosa plants and enabled the formation of seedlings with better root system and xylopodium, and aerial parts with greater number of leaves, leaf area, and stem weight.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate rickettsial infection in equids, opossums and ticks in the municipality of Monte Mor, a place where a Brazilian spotted fever case occurred in 2005. In addition, characteristics possibly associated with seropositivity in horses were analyzed. Serum samples from horses, mules and opossums (Didelphis albiventris) were subjected to indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) against Rickettsia rickettsii. The ticks collected from the animals were identified and Amblyomma sculptum ticks from the equids were tested using PCR for Rickettsia spp. Anti-R. rickettsii antibodies were detected in 22.6% (14/62) of the horses, none of the mules and 21.7% (5/23) of the opossums. Among the variables analyzed, only age > 12 years showed a statistically significant association with seropositivity among horses. All of the 166 A. sculptum ticks tested using PCR were negative. The results showed that rickettsiae of the spotted fever group was circulating in the municipality of Monte Mor when the samples were collected and indicate a need for surveillance of Brazilian spotted fever in this region.
Effects of foam content on chloride ingress and steel corrosion in foamed concrete
Authors: Bagheri Alireza , Rastegar Mohammad Mahdi
Published: November 2020

The effect of foam porosity on absorption, chloride ingress and resistance to corrosion of embedded steel under a chloride environment was studied. Performance of mixes with water/cement (w/c) ratio of 0.5 and moderate and high foam contents of 20 and 50% were determined and compared with those of a base mix with the same proportions but without foam incorporation. A structural grade foam concrete with w/c ratio of 0.4 and foam content of 20% was also considered, together with a conventional concrete of equal strength level. The results show increased absorption of the paste fraction owing to foam incorporation as some of the foam porosity became saturated when submerged in water. Foam incorporation also resulted in increased chloride ingress and reduced durability against steel corrosion compared with the base mix with the same w/c ratio. However the structural grade foam concrete, owing to its lower w/c ratio, achieved similar levels of performance as the base mix and performed better than the conventional concrete of equal strength level.

Authors: SK Usman , M Suzana , S Moosa
Published: November 2020

Background: Geo-spatial aspects affect the susceptibility and containment of infectious disease transmission. Small island geographies may make containment easy, but effective quarantine and isolation may be challenging due to different population density and living conditions. The mathematical models used in this paper aim to determine the epidemic dynamics of COVID-19, quantify the impact of the non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and forecast infection parameters in two types of island settings. The effects of the NPIs on the capital island and other are modelled islands separately.

Published: November 2020

Introducción: La telemedicina es un medio para superar las inequidades en el acceso a servicios sanitarios y su implementación ha aumentado durante la pandemia por Covid-19, durante la cual los prestadores tienen autorización transitoria para esta modalidad. Posterior a la emergencia sanitaria se deberá cumplir una serie de requisitos para la continuidad. Una de las variables que aportan al éxito de dicha continuidad y sostenibilidad es la intención de uso de pacientes y profesionales de la salud, la cual determina el éxito o rechazo de estos servicios. Métodos: Estudio cuantitativo, transversal y analítico realizado en 174 médicos y 820 pacientes. Se utilizó un instrumento auto diligenciado, basado en el Modelo de Aceptación de la Tecnología (TAM). Resultados: Las variables utilidad percibida, facilidad de uso percibida y actitud, en médicos y pacientes, presentaron coeficientes de correlación superiores a 0.70, (r= 0.78, r=0.82, r=0.87 en médicos y r=0.79, r=0.82, r= 0.88 en pacientes). Las variables facilitadores y compatibilidad presentaron mayor correlación con la intención de uso (r=0.89 para ambas en médicos, y r= 0.89, r=0.90 en pacientes). Conclusiones: Estos resultados revelan la importancia de los elementos facilitadores como factor clave para la aceptación de la telemedicina. Como han demostrado otros estudios, para mejorar la adopción de esta tecnología es necesario crear condiciones que faciliten su apropiación, previo a su implementación, tales como dotación de infraestructura, formación y ajustes en el aspecto organizativo.

Abstract: Kodingareng Lompo Island is an island which has a fairly dense population of approximately 4526 people and has a direct impact on the piles of waste that is generated every day, both in the form of organic and inorganic waste. The inhabitants of Kodingareng Lompo Island tend not to have the habit of handling waste by dumping it directly into the sea.  The discarded waste causes bad odors and damages the marine ecosystem, so that waste handling with the 3R concept (reduce, reuse, recycle) is part of a sustainable business that is made into compost and organic waste can be recycled into other more useful items, especially in open green space. This research was carried out in a non-experimental nature with a qualitative descriptive method based on the design or design which will be produced using a spatial approach by mapping the location as outlined in the description of the image and the biopore point placement scheme.  The result shows that 28 biopore holes were needed to handle the organic impacts generated by residents and arranged in a grid pattern so that the water absorption flow was more natural.Keywords: Organic trash, Green Open Space, Biopori TechnologyAbstrak: Pulau Kodingareng Lompo adalah pulau yang memiliki jumlah penduduk yang cukup padat sekitar 4526 jiwa dan berdampak langsung terhadap timbulan sampah yang dihasilkan tiap harinya, baik berupa sampah organik maupun sampah unorganik.

The Right to Privacy and Data Protection in the Information Age
Authors: Oganesian Tigran D.
Published: November 2020

The article considers the legality of mass surveillance and protection of personal data in the context of the international human rights law and the right to respect for private life. Special attention is paid to the protection of data on the Internet, where the personal data of billions of people are stored. The author emphasizes that mass surveillance and technology that allows the storage and processing of the data of millions of people pose a serious threat to the right to privacy guaranteed by Article 8 of the ECHR of 1950. Few companies comply with the human rights principles in their operations by providing user data in response to requests from public services. In this regard, States must prove that any interference with the personal integrity of an individual is necessary and proportionate to address a particular security threat. Mandatory data storage, where telephone companies and Internet service providers are required to store metadata about their users’ communications for subsequent access by the law enforcement and intelligence agencies, is neither necessary nor proportionate. The author analyses the legislation of some countries in the field of personal data protection, as well as examples from practice. Practice in many States is evidence of the lack of adequate national legislation and enforcement, weak procedural safeguards and ineffective oversight, which contributes to widespread impunity for arbitrary or unlawful interference with the right to privacy. In conclusion, we propose a number of measures aimed at improving the level of personal data protection in accordance with the international standards. In order to provide guarantees and a minimum level of adequate data protection in the face of new challenges to human rights in an ever-changing digital environment, the author proposes to solve a number of pressing issues. Firstly, States should not have the right to ask companies for and have absolute access to user data without a court order. Secondly, the process of sending a request and receiving data from a telecommunications company should be regulated in detail and transparent. The availability of specialized judges with technical expertise shall be valuable
“Crimea Acts” of 1954: International Legal Principles
Authors: Lafitsky Vladimir
Published: November 2020

Crimea was transferred to Ukraine by Russia in February 1954 in violation of not only of the constitutions of the USSR, Russia (RSFSR), and Ukraine (Ukrainian SSR) in force at that time, but also of the principles of international law. This thesis is substantiated by a detailed analysis of the legal acts that formalized the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine; by research into the historical context of their adoption; by an assessment of whether these acts conform to international legal standards; and by the testimony of the author of the present article, who consulted on draft Union Treaty in 1990–1991, in drafting laws of the Republic Crimea in 1994–1995, and in presenting the legal position of the Russian Federation on Crimea in the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe in March 2014. The author expands upon the legal position of Russia on Crimea and addresses existing conflicts in legislation of the Russian Federation as the legal continuer of the USSR and the RSFSR; applies the international legal means for protecting the interests and the will of the people of Crimea and to prevent further escalation of the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine.

Particular Complaints Concerning Cessation of Industrial Property Rights
Authors: Bator Karol
Published: November 2020

In the present article the author analyses new institutions of civil law, ie. particular complaints concerning cessation of protection rights for a trade mark or registration rights for an industrial model. These complaints constitute a hybrid of mutual complaints and of cases concerning invalidation of protection rights for a trade mark or registration rights for an industrial model or declaration of expiry of protection rights for a trade mark. In the key part of the article the author presents lack of precision of new regulations concerning suspension of civil proceedings due to similar proceedings pending before the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland. In this respect, the author presents the new regulations interpretation risk, which may lead to unnecessary lengthening of court proceedings in consequence infringing the constitutional principle of honest proceedings and the right to have your case recognized without unjustifiable delay. Besides, the author postulates such de lego ferenda change of regulations that the obligation to suspend civil proceedings will take place only, when the scopes of requests of the particular complaint and the request to the Patent Office will influence each other. At the end, the author presents issues of premises of registration capacity both trade marks and industrial models and premises for declaration of expiry of protection rights for a trade mark. In this respect he gives particular attention to the necessity for application by courts not only the regulations of the presently in force act Industrial property law, but also already repealed provisions of the said act as well as repealed other laws. The author explains that statutory conditions of registration capacity of industrial property rights should be applied according to laws in force at the date of application for protection of the given exclusive right.
The Formation and Transformation of Poles’ Mentality after 1989: An Analysis from the Perspective of Social Philosophy
Authors: Hordiichuk Olha
Published: November 2020

The subject of article is transformation as a multilevel social phenomenon, experience of transformation and modernization of Polish society (in the period from 1989 to the present day, including the turning point of the reforms in 1999 and the context of Poland's membership in NATO and the EU) and changes in its mental characteristics. Mental qualities play one of the most important roles in the processes of social transformation: they have their share in shaping the perception and implementation of attitudes, correspond to values, established norms of behavior. At the same time, they can signiﬁcantly complicate the rapid mastery of innovation (both consciously and subconsciously), because one of the main functions of mentality is to counteract violent revolutionary-reformist transformations and to promote paths of evolutionary cultural, social and other changes. The study of mental features should clarify which of them were helpful, and which rather the opposite – hindered at the stage of reforms and social changes and the creation of civil society. These considerations are based on the assumption that destructive mental traits are mainly associated with many years of subjecting Poland to the power of other countries, especially the Soviet Union, which led to negative state experiences, which in turn translates into a lack of liberal traditions and a low level of civic awareness of society. A very important task that Polish society faces is abandoning outdated Soviet behavior, increasing the level of responsibility and activity, mutual trust and cooperation, developing social activity, strengthening civil society, which is the engine of change and the controller of local and state self-government.
A VALUABLE VIEW ON EVALUATION OF GENERAL MECHANICAL PERFORMANCES PERTAINING TO Bi-2223 SUPERCONDUCTING CERAMICS WITH VANADIUM ADDITION
Authors: SOYKAN Uğur , VALİYEVA Fidan , YILDIRIM Gürcan
Published: November 2020

In this research, our scientific group investigates the effect of vanadium addition in the Bi-2223 superconducting matrix on the general mechanical performance features by the help of experimental microhardness measurements conducted by a small indenter between the well-defined stress loads of 0.245 N and 2.940 N. Moreover, we determine the key mechanical design parameters including the elastic moduli with the hardness, stiffness coefficients, fracture toughness, yield strength, brittleness index and its opposite behavior (ductility) in the applied test loads given using the experimental data deduced from the microindentation tests. According to the experimental findings, it is oberved that the presence of vanadium content in the Bi-2223 crystal structure surpasses seriously the general mechanical performance and related parameters due to the degradation in the quality of grain boundary couplings, crystal structure and basic structural quantities as a consequence of the increment in the structural problems, permanent plastic deformations, crack-producing flaws and dislocations. In other words, the augmentation of vanadium compounds in the Bi-2223 superconducting lattice brings about the considerable enlargement in the responsibility to the static indentation loads. Namely, the sensitive level to the applied loads increases rapidly with the vanadium concentration. We also search the variation of graphs between the Vickers hardness parameters and applied test loads. In this respect, all the materials prepared in this work exhibit the standard ISE (indentation size effect) characteristics but within the decrement trend as the vanadium content level increases. In more detail, the impurity atoms damage harshly the ISE feature of Bi-2223 type-II superconducting ceramics. Additionally, we discuss the change of plateau limit regions coincided with the permeant artificial structural problems in the graphics. The vanadium leads to shorten the applied test load values for the plateau limit regions of Bi-2223 materials, stemmed from the enhancement the general structural problems. To conclude, the vanadium inclusions are ploughed to improve the general mechanical performance features and key mechanical design parameters.

Authors: Acosta Vargas Jairo Steffan , Rincón Silva Juan David , Rincon-Silva Nelson Giovanny
Published: November 2020

La Diabetes Mellitus es un trastorno crónico del metabolismo que conlleva a un aumento anormal en los niveles de glucosa en plasma, como consecuencia de la producción desequilibrada de insulina y/o la insensibilidad al efecto de esta hormona en la transducción de señales de los receptores celulares. Estos cambios metabólicos van acompañados de modificaciones en el metabolismo de carbohidratos, lípidos y proteínas y este trastorno puede conllevar al deterioro de diversos órganos como la ceguera e incluso está implicado en causas de muerte. La mayoría de las complicaciones de la diabetes tipo 2 en los pacientes se deben a la hiperglucemia como su causa principal. Una de las estrategias efectivas para el manejo de la diabetes tipo 2 es la inhibición de la hidrólisis de polisacáridos complejos por la α-amilasa pancreática y a limitación de la absorción de glucosa al inhibir la enzima α-glucosidasa. En este sentido, se ha realizado una revisión de la α-glucosidasa, su mecanismo de actuación y se presenta una posible vía de inhibición mediante flavonoides naturales.

Authors: Hardiman Rodolfo , Terkeltaub Alain
Published: November 2020

There is widespread belief that coffee consumption is linked to atrial flutter; however, there is a relative lack of systematic evidence to support the assertion.The purpose of this study is to investigate whether coffee consumption, induces the atrial flutter in a meta-analysis study. In a population-based inception cohort study, we followed 22,212 men in Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital who had provided information on coffee consumption in 2001-2014. The meta-analysis showed lack of association of coffee consumption with increased risk of atrial flutter.
Role of macrophage SR-BI class a scavenger receptor in atherosclerosis: Crosstalk TLR4/NF-KB/ signaling pathway activation
Authors: Wang Jilin , D. Juan Jeffrey
Published: November 2020

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, and one of the culprits may be infections caused by pathogens, that may be linked to development and progression of atherosclerosis by several mechanisms. Class B scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), an HDL receptor, SR-BI is expressed in a variety of cell types, most abundantly in steroidogenic cells and in the liver. SR-BI is also expressed in macrophages has been shown to mediate the cellular uptake of certain bacteria and may therefore play an important role in innate immunity. The innate immune response and the homeostatic network controlling cellular sterol are important implications for several common diseases, including atherosclerosis. The TLR4-independent SR-BI signaling in macrophages and the implication for its role in atherosclerosis has not yet to be investigated. Our data showed that mice lacking SR-BI are highly sensitive to form atherosclerosis than wild type mice. In addition, we showed that SR-BI-/- mice attenuated proinflammatory cytokines and chemokine response to LPS. The LPS-induced cytokine expression in both WT and SR-BI-/- was dependent on NFκB signaling pathways. One possibility is that an interaction between SR-BI and the TLR4 complex might modulate TLR4 activation and subsequent intracellular signaling pathways. The interaction of HDL and SR-BI in endothelial cells inhibits the activation of NFκB and subsequent expression of the adhesion molecules vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 to inflammatory stimuli. We conclude that SR-BI plays an important function in the atherosclerosis mechanism.

Computed tomography angiography (CT-angiography, CTA) allows noninvasive visualization of coronary arteries (CA). This method is highly sensitive in detecting coronary atherosclerosis. However, standard CTA does not allow evaluation of the hemodynamic significance of found CA stenoses, which requires additional functional tests for detection of myocardial ischemia. This review focuses on possibilities of clinical use, limitations, technical aspects, and prospects of a combination of CT-angiography and CT myocardial perfusion imaging in diagnostics of ischemic heart disease.

Aim To study long-term compliance with treatment in patients included into the REGistry of pATients after myocArdial infarction (REGATA).Material and methods In 2012–2013, the study included 481 patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) who visited the district outpatient clinic. Median age was 72 [62;78] years; men, 51.4 % (n=247); median time from the last MI to the date of inclusion into the registry was 5 [2;9] years. Compliance with treatment was determined with the Morisky-Green questionnaire during telephone contacts with patients at 36 and 48 months (n=230) after the inclusion. Patients scored 4 were considered compliant; patients scored 3 were low-compliant; and patients scored 0-2 were non-compliant. Statistical significance of differences in compliance at 36 and 48 months was assessed with the McNemar test.Results There were no significant differences between the proportions of compliant, low-compliant and non-compliant patients for the analyzed period. However, at 48 months after the inclusion, the number of patients who had difficulties in answering the questionnaire questions significantly increased from 15.5 % to 21.6 % (p=0.04). Analysis of changes in compliance with the treatment for only compliant patients showed that at 36 months from the inclusion, 87 patients remained highly compliant (37.8 %) while at 48 months, only 32 (36.8 %) patients remained compliant with the treatment. Proportion of compliant patients did not significantly differ for men and women, patients younger and older than 60 years, patients with primary MI and reinfarction, prone and not prone to self-management, and for those who used or not the medicine assistance.Conclusion The data obtained as a part of the REGATA registry indicate insufficient long-term compliance with the treatment of after-MI patients with both primary MI and reinfarction, an increasing proportion of patients who are unable to assess their degree of compliance, and decreasing compliance among highly compliant patients during the period between 36 and 48 months of observation. On the whole, there were no significant changes in the compliance with the treatment for 12 months between the first and the second interviews. The proportion of patients compliant with the prescribed drug therapy was significantly lower in the presence of predisposition to self-management.

Gelişme sürecinde ekonomilerin çevre üzerindeki etkileri, özellikle 20. ve 21. yüzyılda yaşanan çevresel sorun ve felaketler ile yoğun tartışmaların yaşandığı bir alan haline gelmiştir. Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi Hipotezi ise çevresel kirlenme ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkinin yorumlanmasında sıklıkla kullanılan yöntemler arasındadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye ekonomisi için Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi Hipotezinin geçerliliği araştırılmaktadır. 1960 – 2015 dönemi yıllık veri seti ile karbondioksit emisyonu, gelir ve enerji tüketimi değişkenleri ARDL eşbütünleşme testi yardımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, uzun dönemde Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi Hipotezinin öngördüğü şekilde bir ilişki Türkiye ekonomisi için geçerli değildir. Türkiye ekonomisi için “N” şeklinde bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Enerji tüketiminin ise karbondioksit emisyonunu uzun dönemde pozitif etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Türkiye’nin enerji portföyünün ilgili sonuçlardaki rolü de incelenmektedir.
İLİŞKİSEL PAZARLAMA FAALİYETLERİNİN MÜŞTERİ SADAKATİNE ETKİSİNDE MÜŞTERİ MEMNUNİYETİNİN ARACI ROLÜ: GSM SEKTÖRÜNE YÖNELİK BİR ARAŞTIRMA

İşletmeler hayatlarını devam ettirmek için mevcut müşterilerini memnun edip elde tutarken yeni müşteriler de kazanmalıdır. Bu noktada pazarlama uygulamalarının önemi ortaya çıkmaktadır. Pazarlama alanı geçmişten günümüze farklı anlayışların uygulandığı bir alandır. Bu anlayışlardan bir tanesi ilişkisel pazarlama anlayışıdır. İlişkisel pazarlama işletmelerin müşterileri memnun ederken aynı zamanda onları birer sadık müşteri haline getirmelerine yardımcı olmaktadır. Bu bağlamda işletmeler ilişkisel pazarlama faaliyetlerine yönelmektedir. İlişkisel pazarlama faaliyetlerine özellikle bankacılık, sigortacılık gibi hizmet sunan işletmelerde rastlanmaktadır. Günümüzde gelişen pazarlardan biri olan telekomünikasyon sektörünün hızlı gelişimi ve müşterilere sunulan hizmetler bu sektörü araştırma alanı haline getirmeye başlamıştır. Literatür incelendiğinde telekomünikasyon sektöründe ilişkisel pazarlama konusunun kısıtlı düzeyde araştırıldığı görülmektedir. Bundan dolayı bu araştırma ile GSM sektöründe ilişkisel pazarlama boyutlarının müşteri sadakatine etkisini ve ayrıca bu etkide müşteri memnuniyetinin aracı rolünü belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Ön lisans ve lisans düzeyinde eğitim gören üniversite öğrencilerinden anket yolu ile veri toplanmıştır. Hiyerarşik regresyon analizlerine göre ilişkisel pazarlama boyutlarının müşteri sadakatine etkisinde müşteri memnuniyetinin aracı rolünü bulunmaktadır.

Toplumların refahının temel kaynağını oluşturan çevre, günümüzde refahın önemli bir tehditcisi durumuna gelmiştir. Temel ihtiyaçlar listesinde yerini alan “kaliteli çevre” için alınacak tedbirlerin etkinliği ise çevre kirliliği ile makroekonomik değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin tanımlanmasına bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada, Danimarka, Macaristan, İtalya, Malta, Hollanda, Portekiz, Slovakya, İsviçre, İngiltere ve Türkiye’de çevre kirliliği ile onu etkileyen makroekonomik değişkenler arasındaki ilişki 1995-2016 dönemi için Panel Veri Yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Çevre kirliliği değişkeni, hava kirliliğine neden olan gazlar (CO_2, CH_4, N_2 O, NH_3, NMVOC, CO ve NO_x) dikkate alınarak Temel Bileşenler Analizi (PCA) ile hesaplanmıştır. Açıklayıcı değişkenler ise kişi başına gelir, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar, insani gelişme endeksi ve çevre vergileridir. Pedroni eşbütünleşme testine göre değişkenler uzun dönemde eşbütünleşiktir. Pedroni FMOLS ve DOLS sonuçları, uzun dönemde insani gelişme endeksindeki artışın çevre kirliliğini önemli ölçüde azalttığını göstermektedir. FMOLS’a göre çevre vergilerinin etkisi bulunmazken DOLS’a göre çevre vergileri çevre kirliliğini artırmaktadır. Dolayısıyla çevre kirliliği üzerinde ”çevre bilinci” geliştirmenin vergi gibi otoriter uygulamalardan daha güçlü etkiler ortaya çıkaracağını söylemek mümkündür.

Background: The prognostic value of mean platelet volume (MPV) and plasma fibrinogen level in terms of survival in patients with sepsis and septic shock is still incompletely documented. The aim of the present study was to find a correlation between MPV and plasma fibrinogen with the severity of sepsis and mortality.Methods: Three hundred eleven patients having quick sequential organ failure assessment score 2/3, systolic blood pressure ≤100 mmHg, respiratory rate ≥22/minute and altered mentation <15 (Glasgow coma scale) were included for this prospective observational study. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score, MPV on days one and four, fibrinogen on days one and seven were tested. The number of days of intensive care unit (ICU), and hospital stay, in-hospital mortality was recorded. Categorical and continuous variables were tested using the chi-square test/Fisher’s exact test and analysis of variance/Kruskal-Wallis H test respectively.Results: The mean plasma fibrinogen at day one and day seven was significantly higher in patients who had septic shock and in expired patients. The mean MPV at day four was significantly higher in patients who expired compared to those who survived. The mean MPV on day four was significantly higher compared to the mean MPV at day one in patients who expired.Conclusions: Fibrinogen level at admission is the predictor of mortality in patients with sepsis or septic shock. An increase in MPV was strongly correlated with mortality and can be used as a prognostic indicator.
