Abstract. Purpose: informing the doctors who provide aid to children of the peculiarity of the pathology. Methods: a 10-month-old boy who developed recurrent vomiting, cough, nasal discharge and fatigue was admitted to the hospital in his place of residence and diagnosed ARVI with abdominal pain syndrome. In spite of the treatment, the patient’s condition worsened, cerebral edema aggravated, and he received artificial pulmonary ventilation with a diagnosis of acute meningoencephalitis of unclear etiology, cerebral edema, and stage 3 coma. The patient was transferred to the republican hospital where his condition was stabilized using intensive care and correction of water-electrolyte and metabolic disorders. At day 9 after the disease onset, a mobile tumor-like lesion was found on palpation in the right mesogastric region. An abdominal ultrasound showed a round anechogenic lesion with distinct regular outlines (40x40 mm). A surgery was performed to eliminate jejunal obstruction with hydrogel balls. Relaparotomy was done in 6 days. Discussion: this clinical observation shows there are diagnostic difficulties that are unavoidable when a history of peroral intake of hydrogel is lacking. Being in the intestine, hydrogel granules absorbed fluid and their size increased leading to obturation intestinal obstruction. Recurrent vomiting resulted in extrarenal loss of fluid and electrolytes. The patient developed cytotoxic cerebral edema due to hypotonic dehydration. A tumour-like lesion was found on palpation at day 9 after the disease onset. Conclusions: hydrogel balls result in obturation intestinal obstruction with severe water-electrolytic disorders. This pathology requires a surgery with full revision and complete evacuation of foreign bodies from the intestine.

Published: May 2019

Analysis of literature related to treatment of children with humeral condyle fracture (HCF) showed that in 15–51% of cases the outcomes were unsatisfactory. Material and methods. Treatment experience of 486 children with acute HCF fractures aged 1 to 16 years is presented. The diagnostic uses additional oblique projections and computed tomography to detect the degree of dislocation and fragment mobility alongside with standard ultrasound examinations. Patients were distributed as follows considering the degree of HCF bone fragment dislocation: 170 (35%) patients with 1 degree of dislocation and 117 (24%) patients with 2 degree of dislocation, whereas 199 (41%) patients had 3 degree dislocation. Results. The patients were operated using the developed tactical scheme based on the suggested classification. It took into account both the degree of dislocation and fragment mobility in 1 degree fractures. Remote results were examined in 321 (66%) patients within 1–15 years after the trauma: the results were excellent in 278 (87%) cases, good in 29 (%) cases and satisfactory in 13 (4%) cases. Conclusions. Treatment of children with humeral condyle fractures was based on the differentiated approach to selection of treatment method depending on dislocation degree and mobility of a distal bone fragment.

Published: May 2019

Introduction. Therapeutic dental manipulations in smaller children are usually done under general anesthesia and sedation using inhalation anesthetics due to their high psychoemotional lability. Xenon (inert gas) is of particular interest among inhalation anesthetic agents due to its unique pharmacological properties such as hypnotic and analgesic effect, lack of toxicity, organ protective properties, etc. Purpose is to estimate adequacy, safety and comfort with anesthesia in pediatric dentistry. Materials and methods. 30 children (18 boys and 12 girls) were involved in an open, prospective, randomized study. They obtained dental treatment for caries and pulpitis. Sevoflurane 8% and concentration of 60–70% xenon with О2 was given to induce anesthesia. Anesthesia adequacy, safety and comfort were estimated based on hemodynamics data, BIS index, concentrations of sevoflurane and xenon in the anesthetic gas, recovery time, rate of agitation, nausea and vomiting. Results. The study demonstrated safety of xenon gas anesthesia in pediatric dentistry. The estimated values were within the reference range. Following anesthesia, recovery occurred after 30 minutes, no single case of postanesthesia agitation, nausea and vomiting was noted. Conclusion. Xenon provides for high effectiveness and safety of anesthesia in pediatric dentistry. The results show that further studies are reasonable.
Improving Students' Attitudes Toward Mathematics Through Numbered Heads Together Cooperative Learning Models with Scientific Approach
Authors: Pamungkas Megita Dwi
Published: May 2019

Schools in Indonesia are supposed to carry out mathematical learning well. However, in reality, mathematics learning process is, in many ways, simply delivering information without involving students to be able to build their own understanding and knowledge. Based on the observation, during the mathematics learning activities it was found that some students paid less attention, disturbed friends, did not do tasks, and did not focus on the learning processes. This study aims to improve students’ attitudes towards learning mathematics by applying the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) cooperative learning method with a scientific approach. This research was a Classroom Action Research (CAR) which was conducted collaboratively and carried out in class VIII A one of junior high school in Depok, Sleman, Yogyakarta which consists of 21 male and 15 female students. The procedure is in the form of cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages namely: planning, implementation, action, observation, and reflection. The techniques of collecting data were observation, notes, field notes, documentation, non-test instruments (attitude questionnaire), and tests. The results showed that students' attitudes toward mathematics increased. The final results of the questionnaire on students' attitudes toward mathematics showed a good category (77.78%) with an average score of 110.44. Then, for mathematics learning outcomes, students got an average score of 72.22. The number of students who were scored above 75 increased to 63.89%.
Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale Based on Computer
Authors: Sukoco Heru , Suharjo Imam
Published: May 2019

The results of the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) survey in 2012-2015 on the achievement of mathematical competencies of Indonesian students showed a significant increase, but the overall achievement was still below the average of the countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Furthermore, the results of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) report showed that many students like and feel good about mathematics, but their confidence in their mathematical abilities was quite low. Many studies reveal the close association of Mathematics Self-Efficacy (MSE) with the performance/achievement of students' mathematical competencies. In 2015, the PISA survey was done using computerization except in 15 countries, one of them was in Indonesia. Therefore, the results of this study are to produce the first computer-based MSE scale developed in Indonesia.

On the analytical approach to the linear analysis of an arbitrarily curved spatial Bernoulli-Euler beam
Authors: Radenković Gligor , Borković Aleksandar
Published: May 2019

The equilibrium and kinematic equations of an arbitrarily curved spatial Bernoulli-Euler beam are derived with respect to a parametric coordinate and compared with those of the Timoshenko beam. It is shown that the beam analogy follows from the fact that the left-hand side in all the four sets of those equations are the covariant derivatives of unknown vector. Furthermore, an elegant primal form of the equilibrium equations is composed. No additional assumptions, besides those of the linear Bernoulli-Euler theory, are introduced, which makes the theory ideally suited for the analytical assessment of big-curvature beams. The curvature change is derived with respect to both convective and material/spatial coordinates, and some aspects of its definition are discussed. Additionally, the stiffness matrix of an arbitrarily curved spatial beam is calculated with the flexibility approach utilizing the relative coordinate system. The numerical analysis of the carefully selected set of examples proved that the present analytical formulation can deliver valid benchmark results for testing of the purely numeric methods.

Robust Standards in Cognitive Science
Authors: Crüwell Sophia , Stefan Angelika Marlene , Evans Nathan J.
Published: May 2019

Recent discussions within the mathematical psychology community have focused on how Open Science practices may apply to cognitive modelling. Lee et al. (2019) sketched an initial approach for adapting Open Science practices that have been developed for experimental psychology research to the unique needs of cognitive modelling. While we welcome the general proposal of Lee et al. (2019), we believe a more fine-grained view is necessary to accommodate the adoption of Open Science practices in the diverse areas of cognitive modelling. Firstly, we suggest a categorisation for the diverse types of cognitive modelling, which we argue will allow researchers to more clearly adapt Open Science practices to different types of cognitive modelling. Secondly, we consider the feasibility and usefulness of preregistration and lab notebooks for each of these categories, and address potential objections to preregistration in cognitive modelling. Finally, we separate several cognitive modelling concepts that we believe Lee et al. (2019) conflated, which should allow for greater consistency and transparency in the modelling process. At a general level, we propose a framework that emphasises local consistency in approaches while allowing for global diversity in modelling practices.
Should cigarette pack sizes be capped?
Authors: Blackwell Anna Katherine Mary , Lee Ilse , Scollo Michelle , Wakefield Melanie , Munafo Marcus Robert , Marteau Theresa
Published: May 2019

BackgroundCigarette pack sizes vary globally between 10 and 50 cigarettes per pack. Many countries have introduced tobacco control legislation that mandates a minimum size to reduce affordability and youth smoking. By contrast, very few countries regulate maximum pack size. Larger, non-standard sizes are increasingly being introduced by the tobacco industry. Larger portion sizes increase food consumption; larger cigarette packs may similarly increase tobacco consumption. Here we consider the evidence for legislation to cap cigarette pack size to reduce tobacco-related harm.Argument and analysisWe first describe the regulations regarding minimum and maximum pack sizes in the 12 countries that have adopted plain packaging legislation and describe the range of sizes available. We then discuss evidence for two key assumptions that would support capping pack size. First, regarding the causal nature of the relationship between pack size and tobacco consumption, observational evidence suggests that people smoke fewer cigarettes when using smaller packs. Second, regarding the causal nature of the relationship between reducing consumption and successful cessation, reductions in number of cigarettes smoked per day are associated with increased cessation attempts and subsequent abstinence. However, more experimental evidence is needed to infer the causal nature of these associations among general populations of smokers.ConclusionPack size is associated with consumption, and consumption is associated with cessation. Based on limited evidence of the causal nature of these associations, we hypothesise that Government regulation to cap cigarette pack sizes would positively contribute to reducing smoking prevalence.
Patient perspectives on health in chronic illness
Authors: Acharya Samita , Butterworth Katrina
Published: May 2019

Introductions: Medical students need to understand patients’ perspectives about illness and its impact on their lives and family, to evolve as truly socially accountable physicians. 

Methods: Medical students were assigned in pairs to regularly visit a chronically sick patient over 6 months. They completed a portfolio exploring patient attitudes towards their illness, medication, concerns and beliefs. Themes were coded and portfolios were reviewed independently by two tutors and four students extracting data that matched the themes.  New themes were added during the review.  Data was later compiled and discussed by the team to refine key themes and portfolios were again reviewed to check for frequency.

Results: Fifty-eight students interviewed twenty-nine patients with a variety of chronic conditions. Areas identified included the important role of family and community.  A major concern of 18/29 (62%) patients was the impact on the family emotionally, socially and financially of their illness. Other concerns were loneliness (5/29), uncertainty about the illness and deteriorating function.  Spiritual issues were important, together with prayer.  Some patients (7/29) viewed their illness as a punishment or curse and wanted to die. Other patients believed their illness was due to diet, physical or emotional stress, contagion or exposure to environmental factors.  Two believed the oxygen for their COPD was addictive, so restricted its use.

Conclusions:  As part of providing patient-centered care in the context of Nepal it is important to explore the level of family and community support available to the patient as well as the current impact on the family.

Authors: Shankar P Ravi , Rose Christopher
Published: May 2019

Introductions: A ‘health humanity’ (HH) module was facilitated for second semester medicine and first semester nursing students at the American International Medical University, Saint Lucia from September to November 2017. The study was conducted during the third week of November to obtain participant perceptions about the module and suggestions for further improvement.

Methods: Students were explained the aims and objectives of the study and invited to participate. Certain demographic information was noted. Participants indicated their degree of agreement with a set of 16 statements using a five-point scale. They were asked with which particular session, role-play and painting they identified with the most. Two suggestions to further improve the use of role-plays, future modules, interprofessional learning and paintings were also elicited.

Results: Twenty-six of the 28 students (92.8%) participated with most being either Indian or Saint Lucians from urban backgrounds. The median agreement score with various statements was 4 or above. Participants identified most with the session on ‘death and dying’, ‘empathy’ and ‘health science student’; with the painting ‘tree of hope’; and the scenario ‘where a female medical student falls in love with a boy who was not reciprocating her feelings and with a girl who is trafficked, forced to become a sex worker returning to her family with HIV-positive. Participants agreed that the module promoted interprofessional learning.        

Conclusions: Student feedback about the module was positive. It provided a platform to promote interprofessional learning among the participants, medical and nursing students.

Published: May 2019

Background: Odontogenic cysts are defined as the epithelial cysts which arise from odontogenic epithelium and occur in tooth bearing regions of jaws. The objective of the present study was to analyze different histopathological types of cystic jaw lesions and to determine the distribution of their relative frequency according to site, sex, size and age group.

Materials and methods: This study was a cross sectional hospital based observational study conducted in the Department of Pathology, Manipal Teaching Hospital. All cases with cystic jaw lesions on histopathology during the study period from January 2014 to December 2018 were included in the study.

Results: Thirty-two cases of cystic jaw lesions were reported during the study period. Females were more commonly affected in our study with a male: female ratio of 1:1.9. The age range in the study was 9 to 71 years with a mean age of 33.3 years. The most frequent type was radicular cysts followed by dentigerous cysts, odontogenic keratocysts and cystic ameloblastoma. Radicular cysts showed the most female predilection with a ratio of 1:4.3. and a mean age of 35.6 years. Majority of dentigerous cysts were seen in patients below 30 years. Both radicular cysts and dentigerous cysts showed more involvement of maxilla but odontogenic keratocysts were more common in mandible

Conclusions: The present study corroborate with other similar literature with respect to the frequency percentage of different types of jaw cysts.However, female predilection was seen in radicular and dentigerous cysts. Maxilla was the more common site except in odontogenic keratocysts.

Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of 100 patients, who underwent image guided fine needle aspiration cytology of intrathoracic lesions from December 2015 to November 2016 in the Department of Pathology, Institute of Medicine, Tribhuwan University Teaching Hospital.

Results: Of the 100 cases, diagnostic material was obtained in 86 cases, which included 69 cases (80.23%) from lung, 7 cases (8.13%) from pleura and 10 cases (11.62%) from mediastinum. Lung lesions constituted of 61 neoplastic lesions (88.40%), 3 cases (4.34%) suspicious of malignancy, 3 cases (4.34%) negative for malignancy and 2 non- neoplastic lesions (2.89%). Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common lesion of the lung. Pleural lesions consisted of 5 neoplastic cases (71.42%), 1 non- neoplastic case (14.28%) and 1 negative for malignancy (14.28%). Mediastinal lesions consisted of 7 neoplastic lesions (70.00%) and 3 non- neoplastic lesions (30.00%). Biopsy for histopathological examination was available in 30 cases. The concordance of diagnosis of lung lesions by fine needle aspiration cytology and histopathology was 90.90%. Image guided FNAC had sensitivity of 95.83% and specificity of 50.33% in diagnosing intrathoracic lesions. The positive predictive value of image guided FNAC in diagnosis of intrathoracic lesions was 92.00% and negative predictive value of 66.67 percent.

Conclusions: Image guided fine needle aspiration cytology of intrathoracic lesions permits categorization and distinction between non- neoplastic and neoplastic lesions.

Tuberculosis and leprosy are chronic mycobacterial infections that elicit granulomatous inflammation. The incidence of co-existence of pulmonary tuberculosis and leprosy has ranged from 2.5%-13.4%.1 Cutaneous tuberculosis is a variant of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and its  simultaneous occurrence with leprosy is uncommon. The concomitant presence of leprosy, pulmonary as well as cutaneous tuberculosis is rare.

We report a case of borderline tuberculoid leprosy, lupus vulgaris and pulmonary tuberculosis in a 45 years male who presented to the dermatology outpatient department with three morphologically distinct skin lesions over the posterior aspect of right leg. Ours is presumably the first case reported from Nepal, a country where both of these mycobacterial infections are endemic.

Due to a high stooling coefficient and good growing after cutting, sorghum can be used in the green conveyor in the summer between the cutting of annual and perennial grasses, in the fall when the growth of perennial grasses stops. Hybridization of Sudan grass with CMS-lines of various sorghum types (grain and sweet), produces highly heterotic sorghum-Sudan hybrids which exceed the parental forms in green mass productivity by 1.5 times or more. The identification of new sorghum-Sudan hybrids with high heterotic effects on productivity of green mass and dry matter with their future introduction into production is an important direction of sorghum breeding. The purpose of this work is to identify the main stages of the development of sorghum-Sudanese hybrids and to estimate indicators of their productivity and quality. The CMS lines of grain and sweet sorghum, highly productive varieties of Sudanese grass and new sorghum-Sudan hybrids are the objects of the study. The initial stage is the selection of parental forms. Highly productive and permanent varieties are of great necessity as pollinators. In our studies, these are the varieties “Svetloplenchataya 1”, “Chernoplenchataya 11” and “Chernoplenchataya 10” with 33–42 t/ha of green mass for 2 cuttings. Due to the more powerful plant development the new sorghum-Sudanese hybrids produce 52–77 t/ha of green mass for 2 cuttings. Genuine heterosis is 22.6–102.6%. During the study there have been identified the hybrids “APV-1115 x Svetloplenchataya 1” and “Zersta 38 x Chernoplenchataya 11”, that combine the maximum values of the productivity of green mass and dry matter.

The nutritional value of soybean seeds is in high protein (up to 35%) and fat (up to 25%) percentage. In the Russian Federation, there is a positive trend in increasing the soybean acreage (e. g. from 1.537 million hectares in 2013 to 2.919 million hectares in 2018). The field trials were carried out in the laboratory of cultivation technology of row crops of the FSBSI “Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy” (Zernograd, southern soil-climatic region of the Rostov region) in 2016–2017. The experiments were conducted with the varieties of local breeding “Don 21” and “Diva”, included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation in 6 regions, differing in the length of vegetation period. The soil of the experimental plot is favorable for soybean cultivation, the humus content in the topsoil is 3.36%; pH is 7.0; P2O5 is 24.4; K2O is 360 mg/kg of soil. Depending on the sowing period, the soybean yields varied from 0.85 to 1.25 t/ha for the variety “Don 21” and from 0.77 to 1.38 t/ha for the variety “Diva”. The protein content in soybean seeds was the highest in the fourth term of sowing (41.9 and 39.8%), and the fat content in the first term was 19.0 and 20.2% (the varieties “Don 21” and “Diva” respectively). The analysis of economic and energy efficiency identified the most effective variants of the trial. The variety “Don 21” had the second sowing period, the variety “Diva” had the third one, with the highest values of profitability (129.8 and 147.7%) and the energy efficiency ratio (2.03 and 2.18).

As a result of stage screening, there were selected promising bacterial strains to create laboratory samples of biological products on their basis to protect winter wheat from the causative agents of fusarium root rot. The purpose of the work is to determine the growth-stimulating and protective effect of laboratory samples of Bacillus subtilis BZR 336g and B. subtilis BZR 517 on winter wheat plants, as well as to determine the antagonistic effect of strains on Fusarium fungi. As a result of the work, there was established a positive effect of laboratory samples on the growth, development and germination of plants in greenhouse conditions and the ability to significantly inhibit the mycelium of phytopathogenic fungi F. graminearun, F. culmorum and Microdochium nivale in laboratory conditions. The study of the samples artificially infected in a climatic chamber showed not only a high protective effect of these laboratory samples, but also made it possible to determine the regimes for their use. The conducted tests prove the viability of new bioagents as environmentally friendly plant-protective products.
LGBTQ2+ aging in Canada: Building the evidence and informing action

Within Canada, there has been increased Federal recognition and support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2+) individuals and communities. The recognition of previous systemic discrimination helps to illustrate the unique social and historical contexts those current older adults faced as they aged as members of LGBTQ2+ communities. Addressing the diverse and unique needs of LGBTQ2+ older adults is crucial to ensuring safety and well-being within formal and informal care settings yet, due to a lack of research evidence, this remains a challenge. In order to advance research and action on LGBTQ2+ aging in Canada, stakeholders were convened at a research-policy forum to establish a community of interest and catalyze activities to support a diverse aging population. Immediate concerns that were raised included: social isolation, healthcare, education and training needs for providers, stigma and discrimination, and housing. Other knowledge gaps included dementia care and the effects of cognitive impairment on sexual and gender identity, lived realities of older LGBTQ2+ ethnic minorities, and the experiences of older Two-Spirit Canadians. Attendees highlighted the importance of showcasing success stories of aging among LGBTQ2+ communities in addition to describing experienced challenges. Considering that members of LGBTQ2+ communities who experienced systemic discrimination and in or approaching old age, action on these fronts is urgently needed.
