Complicaciones en receptores de Trasplante Hepáti-co
Authors: Flores Sandí Grettchen
Published: September 2020

La operación de trasplante hepático es la única terapia absoluta para enfermedades hepáticas en etapa terminal y como todo procedimiento quirúrgico no está exento de riesgos y complicaciones que pueden agravar la condición clínica postoperatoria de su receptor e incluso producirle la muerte. También como todo procedimiento quirúrgico, no está exento de que se establezcan denuncias por responsabilidad profesional relacionadas a complicaciones quirúrgicas directas, enfermedades que ocurren en la atención postoperatoria, y al resultado quirúrgico insatisfecho. Al respecto, las complicaciones de un procedimiento médico como este, aunque estén descritas de esta forma en la literatura médico-científica, y puedan hacer pensar que con ello se descarta que haya mediado responsabilidad profesional en su génesis, en un caso de denuncia por responsabilidad profesional deben ser analizadas considerando los mecanismos involucrados en su producción, a la luz del manejo médico brindado, que permitan afirmar o descartar la relación causal con un manejo médico no indicado, inadecuado, inoportuno o no apegado a las normas. Las complicaciones directas más comunes post trasplante hepático son vasculares (relacionadas a la arteria hepática, la vena porta, las venas hepáticas y la vena cava inferior), biliares, parenquimatosas, perihepáticas, y neoplásicas. El expediente médico en que consten los riesgos del procedimiento, el momento en que se diagnostica cualquier eventual complicación y los criterios y tratamiento considerados en su manejo, así como un consentimiento informado adecuado se transforman en una evidencia de análisis importante y adquiere relevancia la buena comunicación médico paciente.

Los adultos mayores con cáncer de manera consistente son subtratados o tratados de forma alternativa en comparación con personas más jóvenes.(4,13)

La rehabilitación en cáncer se define como las intervenciones realizadas por el equipo de rehabilitación que buscan restaurar, prevenir, compensar, identificar estructuras, funciones en riesgo, definir la funcionalidad y necesidades de rehabilitación, preparación previa al tratamiento (prehabilitación) y la educación, para maximizar el resultado funcional y la calidad de vida del paciente con diagnóstico de cáncer, así como poderle ofrecer una gama más amplia de tratamientos.

La incidencia del cáncer aumenta de manera exponencial a partir de los 65 años de edad, el 60% de los diagnósticos nuevos por cáncer y el 70% de las muertes ocurren en adultos mayores.

El presente artículo permitirá conocer el estado del arte del manejo del adulto mayor con cáncer desde el punto de vista de rehabilitación
Embarazo Ectópico: Revisión bibliográfica con enfoque en el manejo médico.
Authors: Liang Huixian Hu , Vargas Jairo Sandoval , Sánchez Ana Gabriela Hernández , Mora Josué Vargas
Published: September 2020

El embarazo ectópico (EP) o embarazo extra uterino, aceptado del griego “ektopos” que significa fuera de lugar, se refiere a la implantación del blastocisto fuera del endometrio de la cavidad uterina. La trompa de Falopio es el sitio dominante en la mayoría de los casos de embarazo ectópico. Aproximadamente, 75% de las muertes en el primer trimestre y 9% de todas las muertes relacionadas al embarazo son por embarazo ectópico. La etiología del EP es multifactorial. Los mecanismos postulados incluyen: a) obstrucción anatómica, b) anormalidades en la motilida tubaria o función ciliar. c) producto de la concepción anormal, y d) factores quimiotácticos que estimulan implantación tubaria. La triada de dolor, sangrado vaginal y amenorrea fue históricamente utilizada como diagnóstica de EP. Los síntomas de EP frecuentemente son inespecíficos y dif íciles de diferenciar de otros procesos ginecológicos, gastrointestinales y urológicos. El uso del ultrasonido transvaginal (TVS) ha cambiado el abordaje diagnóstico a uno basado en la visualización de la masa ectópica. Se ha demostrado que el TVS es superior al ultrasonido transabdominal (TAS). Las opciones de manejo incluyen el manejo expectante, tratamiento médico, cirugía conservadora y cirugía radical. Con un diagnóstico temprano, la mayoría de mujeres con embarazo ectópico pueden tratarse con metrotexate (MTX). Actualmente existen tres principales regímenes para el manejo del embarazo ectópico con metroteaxate: el protocolo multidosis, el protocolo de una sola dosis, y el protocolo de dos dosis.
Criterios de Inclusión y Exclusión de pacientes para Trasplante Hepático
Authors: Fallas González Jorge , Molina Coto Fiorela
Published: September 2020

El trasplante hepático (TH) es el tratamiento de elección para pacientes bien seleccionados con enfermedad hepática terminal, algunos con falla hepática aguda (FHA) y carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) y otras enfermedades que per se no comprometen la función sintética del hígado. En general, el TH ofrece una supervivencia global ≥90% a un año. La adecuada selección de los candidatos a trasplante es de vital importancia debido a la escasez en la donación de órganos, por tal motivo es necesaria la reactualización de las indicaciones y las contraindicaciones; en función de los resultados obtenidos y los nuevos tratamientos disponibles.

La gran demanda y escasez de órganos han llevado al desarrollo de nuevas estrategias para beneficiar a más pacientes, como la selección de donantes vivos, donantes con criterios extendidos o el trasplante dominó. Esta revisión se enfoca en los datos más relevantes de las diferentes indicaciones y contraindicaciones de TH.

Revisión de tema: Rehabilitación Pulmonar en Pacientes con Cáncer de Pulmón
Authors: Molina Lopez Cristobal Daniel
Published: September 2020

El cáncer de pulmón es una de las principales causas de muerte por cáncer en el mundo, siendo esta la principal causa en 93 países (1-6), esta patología tiene una sobrevida a 5 años de 15%, y al inicio del diagnóstico 70% de los pacientes son no operables (5). Se describe que el tratamiento quirúrgico es el tratamiento curativo por elección para esta  patología (2,3,12,13), pero no todos los pacientes son quirúrgicos al realizar el diagnostico. La rehabilitación pulmonar es una intervención multidisciplinaria que se basa en la evidencia, es costo efectiva (1,10), y para los pacientes con cáncer de pulmón se ha visto que esta se puede basar en los programas de pacientes con EPOC (20), esta  es segura y factible en pacientes hasta con estados avanzados de la enfermedad, otra característica es que puede aumentar el número de casos operables (10). Es necesario 6 semanas para obtener efectos sustanciales pero desde la semana2-4 se ven cambios fisiológicos (11,17,19,21).

Absztrakt:

Bevezetés és célkitűzés: Az irányelvek és a képzések hatására
hazánkban az elmúlt évtizedben mind a betegágy melletti haemostasismonitorozás,
mind a faktorkészítmények elérhetősége, alkalmazása megnőtt, illetve a
vérkészítmény-felhasználás csökkent. A felmérés célja az intenzív osztályok
(ITO) protokolljainak, személyi, tárgyi feltételeinek vizsgálata volt az ellátás
és a betegbiztonság további fejlesztéséhez. Módszer: Az aktív
betegellátó intézetek aneszteziológiai és intenzív terápiás osztályainak
e-mailben elküldött kérdőívvel 2019 tavaszán vizsgáltuk az irányelv és a helyi
protokollok alkalmazását, a képzettség mértékét, a haemostasissal kapcsolatos
elérhető diagnosztikai lehetőségeket, valamint a transzfúziós, illetve a
haemostasis helyreállítására szolgáló stabil faktor- és gyógyszerkészítmények
elérhetőségét. Eredmények: Az ITO-k 49%-a 46 kérdőívet küldött
vissza. 91,3%-uk alkalmaz irányelvet, 43,5%-uk helyi protokollt is. 6 ITO a
haemostasisról, 17 pedig a Patient Blood Management (PBM-) programról szóló
továbbképzés hiányát jelezte. A Magyar Aneszteziológiai és Intenzív Terápiás
Társaság (MAITT) szakmai irányelvét alkalmazók 65,1%-a számolt be arról, hogy a
vörösvérsejtkoncentrátum-felhasználás csökkent, ez az arány friss fagyasztott
plazma (FFP) esetén 67,4%, míg thrombocyta esetén 30,2% volt. A vérkép, az INR,
az APTI és a fibrinogén kivételével a laboratóriumi vizsgálatok és a
viszkoelasztikus tesztek elérhetősége korlátozott. Ahol a viszkoelasztikus
tesztek elérhetők, és csökkent a vörösvérsejt-felhasználás, ITO-ágyanként
2,9-szer több orvos vett részt haemostasisképzésen. A FFP és a thrombocyta
esetében ez az arány 1,7–2,5-szeres volt. Egy beteg masszív vérzésének
ellátásához szükséges faktorkészítmény-mennyiséggel az ITO-k 32%-a rendelkezett.
Következtetés: A haemostasis- és a PBM-képzések megfelelő
eszköz-, faktorkészítmény- és gyógyszer-elérhetőségek mellett javítják a
betegellátást. A PBM-program térnyerése és a betegbiztonság javítása érdekében a
perioperatív szakmák és a háziorvosok képzésével, a társszakmákkal való
egyeztetéssel párhuzamosan az ellátás és a finanszírozási háttér
újrastrukturálása szükséges. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(37): 1606–1616.

Interacción con microondas de las nanopartículas magnéticas y óxido de grafeno magnético y sus aplicaciones como susceptor en el calentamiento electromagnético de crudo pesado
Authors: Roa Ardila Manuel , Gómez Iván , Mejia Enrique , Correa Rodrigo
Published: September 2020

Objetivo: Proponer y evaluar una tecnología que mejore la movilidad de crudos pesados, mediante la adición de nanopartículas magnéticas y la aplicación de campos electromagnéticos externos. Metodología: Se caracterizaron individualmente el crudo pesado, las nanopartículas de magnetita y el grafeno magnético. Se evaluó el comportamiento magneto-reológico del crudo pesado y de sus mezclas con nanopartículas y grafeno magnético en un rango de composiciones en el rango 0.5 %wt a 10 %wt. Posteriormente, estas mezclas se sometieron a radiación electromagnética en el rango de las microondas, para diferentes composiciones y tiempos de radiación. Estos tratamientos se realizaron en una cavidad electromagnética y en una guía de onda cilíndrica, con potencias entre 0.8 kW y 1 kW. Resultados: El crudo original no respondió al tratamiento con radiación electromagnética, siendo transparente a éste. Sin embargo, con la adición de nanopartículas magnéticas, tanto de magnetita como de grafeno magnético, la mezcla interactuó fuertemente con el campo electromagnético. A mayor concentración de estas partículas, mayor fue el incremento de la temperatura de la mezcla. Para experimentos en la cavidad electromagnética, se evidenció un incremento desde la temperatura inicial de 22 °C hasta el rango 58.2 °C – 60 °C para el caso de la magnetita a una concentración de 0.5 % wt en 60 s. Para experimentos utilizando como aplicador la guía de onda cilíndrica y para las mismas condiciones experimentales anteriores, se alcanzaron temperaturas por encima de los 90 °C.  Utilizando el grafeno magnético y la misma cavidad electromagnética se alcanzaron temperaturas en el rango de 81.9 °C-96.5 °C. Conclusiones: Ambos materiales incrementan notablemente el calentamiento del crudo pesado (disminuyendo su viscosidad), cuando se someten a radiación electromagnética en el rango de las microondas, y podrían considerarse candidatos para mejorar los procesos de extracción y transporte de crudo.
Fall Detection System using XGBoost and IoT
Authors: Cahoolessur D.K. , Rajkumarsingh B.
Published: September 2020

This project aims to design and implement a fall detection system for the elders using machine learning techniques and Internet-of-Things (IoT). The main issue with fall detection systems is false alarms and hence incorporating machine learning in the fall detection algorithm can tackle this problem. Therefore, choosing the right machine learning algorithm for the given problem is essential and several factors need to be considered in making that choice. For this project, the XGBoost algorithm is used and the machine learning model is trained on the Sisfall dataset. A wearable device that is worn on the waist is designed using an accelerometer, a microcontroller, a Global Positioning System (GPS) module and a buzzer. The acceleration data obtained is converted into features and fed into the machine learning model which will then make a prediction. If a fall event has occurred, the buzzer is activated and emergency contacts of the victim are notified immediately using IoT and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). This allows the fall victim to be attended quickly, thus reducing the negative consequences of the fall. The details of the fall are stored on the cloud so that they can be easily accessed by healthcare professionals. Testing the system concluded that the XGBoost machine learning algorithm is well suited for this problem due to the small percentage error obtained.

Published: September 2020

In this study, the effects of root undercutting, fertilization and thinning applications on the morphological characteristics of oriental beech seedlings grown in Karadağ Forest Nursery were investigated. In 2+0 years old seedlings, the effects of treatments including by making root undercutting and thinning (A) and by giving 50 g of ammonium nitrate fertilizer per m2 addition to thinning (B) in July were examined. Moreover, quality classes of seedlings were determined on the basis of treatments. According to the result of this study, significant differences were found between the morphological characteristics of the seedlings depending on the treatments. It was determined that while there is a statistical significance in terms of seedling length, sturdiness quotient, the number of side branches, shoot and root fresh weight, shoot and root dry weight, shoot dry weight/root dry weight, root percentage, Dickson quality index, there is no significance in terms of root collar diameter, fresh seedling weight, dry seedling weight in 2+0 years old seedlings. According to Turkish Standards Institute's deciduous seedling standard (TS 5624/21.03.1988) prepared in March 1988, 48.8% of A treatment and 76.7% of B treatment and 78.9% of the control group were found to be Class I. According to Dickson quality index, the quality index values of seedlings in 2+0 A, 2+0 B and control were determined as and 1.05, 0.74 and 0.68 respectively. In determination of Dickson quality index value, using of important parameters used for determination of seedling quality is important in terms of obtaining more accurate results.
Assesment of Ips typographus attacks in relation to site and stand characteristics in managed and unmanaged oriental spruce (Picea orientalis (L.) Link) stands
Authors: SARIYILDIZ Temel , DUMAN Ahmet
Published: September 2020

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of management practices for reducing the negative impacts of Ips typographus L. on Oriental spruce (Picea orientalis (L.) Link.) forests, and to review the best site factor(s) associated with Ips typographus infestation. Two sites, Hatila Valley National Park (HVNP-unmanaged site) and Saçinka Forest Sub-District Directorate (SFSD-managed site) were chosen to compare the stand characteristics (mean age, height, bark thickness, basal area, stand density and tree diameter) and soil properties (pH, organic matter-OM, soil texture, and nutrients). At both sites, the sampling plots were taken from the north and south-slope aspects (NSA and SSA) and from upper and lower-slope positions (USP and LSP) on each site. In general, the results showed that in HVNP, Picea orientalis stands had higher stand age, bark thickness, basal area, and tree diameter, but lower soil pH, OM, nutrients, percent clay and silt content than those in SFSD. Among the stand characteristics, the stand age was positively correlated (r = 0.916) to the mortality rates in HVNP. Besides, Picea orientalis stands on SSA and at USP were more damaged than on NSA and at LSP. In conclusion, the results indicate that forest management practices including thinning, pruning, and cleaning can have a significant favorable influence on Picea orientalis forests to minimize the risk of Ips typographus attacks.
TÜRKİYE’DEKİ SOMALİLİ GENÇLERİN GÖZÜNDEN KADIN GENİTAL MUTİLASYONU BİR İNSAN HAKLARI İHLALİ MİDİR?
Authors: AKALIN Betül
Published: September 2020

Kadın genital mutilasyonu literatürdeki diğer adıyla kadın sünneti, tıbbi olmayan nedenlerle dış kadın genitalinin kısmen veya tamamen çıkarılmasını içeren kadın cinsel organının cerrahi değişikliği olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Genellikle küçük yaşlarda yapılan, farklı dinlere mensup ülkelerde görülebilen, çoğunlukla geleneksel sebeplere dayandırılan ve pek çok olumsuz sonuçları tanımlanan uygulama, kadınların insan haklarının ihlali, en yüksek sağlık standardına erişim hakkının ihlali, çocuk haklarının ihlali, ayrımcılık, cinsiyetler arası köklü eşitsizlik olarak kabul edilmektedir. Öte yandan dünya genelinde sayı önemli ölçüde azalmamakta ayrıca araştırmalara göre kadın genital mutilasyonu 52 milyon kadının dörte birine sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından yapılarak uygulama tıbbileştirilmektedir. Uygulamanın çoğunlukla görüldüğü ülkelerden biri Somali’dir. Eğitim amacı ile Türkiye’ye gelen yeni nesil Somalili gençler tarafından sünnetin nasıl algılandığını ortaya koymak bu çalışmanın konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında oluşturulan sorularla gençlerin konuya yaklaşımının ne şekilde olduğu ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada kadınların olası mağdur olmasına karşın erkeklere oranla uygulamaya daha sıcak baktıkları tespit edilerek; insan hakları ihlali olarak görmedikleri şeklinde değerlendirilmiştir. Toplumun sünnet uygulamasına bakış açısını her iki cinsin farklı yorumlaması özellikle erkeklerin ataerkil kökenli düşünceden uzaklaşan ve sünnete karşı olan bakış açılarını topluma ifade edecekleri sosyal kamu bilgilendirilmelerinin yapılması sadece sağlık için zararlarını anlatan bilgilendirmelerin yanında kadın sünneti ile olan savaşta destekleyeceği olacağı kanaatine varılmıştır.

Published: September 2020

This protocol describes the steps required to perform a holographic immunoassay for SARS-CoV-2 whole virus particles. The assay uses an xSight holographic particle characterization instrument (Spheryx, Inc.) to monitor the diameter of specifically functionalized probe beads. The diameter of the beads increases by a few nanometers as targets bind to the surface. xSight detects and reports this change, yielding an estimate for the concentration of analytes in the sample. The method for holographic immunoassays (applied to antibody binding assays) is described in Y. Zagzag, M. F. Soddu, A. D. Hollingsworth and D. G. Grier, Holographic molecular binding assays, Scientific Reports 10, 1932 (2020) and K. Snyder, R. Quddus, A. D. Hollingsworth and K.

Determination of women’s voting behavior; A machine learning approach in the Turkish political arena
Authors: Bayyurt Nizamettin , Çaha Havva
Published: September 2020

Justice and Development Party (AKP) has been the ruling and biggest party in Turkey (AKP) since it has been established in 2002 and Republican People’s Party (CHP) has been the main opposition party (CHP) since then. These two parties receive about 75% of all the votes and half of the voters are females.  To our knowledge, there is no such a study focusing on women’s party preferences in Turkey. Additionally, this is one of the very few studies in Turkey concerning voters’ party preferences. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap in the literature. In this study, the important attributes of women in party selection decisions are analyzed. Center-periphery and social mobility theories are the two main theories explaining Turkish political life. The analyzed ideological, cultural, religious, social, economic and demographic characteristics of women supporters are selected according to these theories. Machine-learning techniques are employed as predictive tools. Results show that ideological attitudes like being leftist-rightist and religious values like headscarf, fasting in Ramadan, and praying are the most important effective attributes on party selection of women. However, socioeconomic, cultural, educational and demographic atributes are not effective on party selection of women in Turkey.
The relationship of thinking styles and academic performance of students
Authors: Khalifaeva O. A. , Kolenkova N. Yu. , Tyurina I. Yu. , Fadina A. G.
Published: September 2020

Introduction. In the conditions of modern Russian education, the emphasis is shifted to the ability of students to carry out non-standard professional duties and to work independently. All this leads to an increase in the number of studies to identify thinking styles in the student age.

The aim of the current publication is to present the results of an empirical study focusing on identification of the relationship of thinking styles and academic performance among the students of Astrakhan State University.

Methodology and research methods. In order to achieve the aim, the authors used the following research methods: Methods of Thinking Style (by A. K. Belousova), Learning Styles Questionnaire (by P. Honey, A. Mumford), Implicit Theories and Learning Goals Questionnaire (by C. Dweck), Scale of Academic Motivation (by T. O. Gordeeva, O. A. Sychev, E. N. Osin). To process the data, mathematical-statistical methods were employed: the One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, the Independent Samples t Test (Student Test), the Mann-Whitney U Test, the Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient, the Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient. All calculations were performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 21 computer program.

Results. In the course of empirical study, 82 students of five faculties of Astrakhan State University (40 boys and 42 girls aged 20 to 23 years old) were involved. As a result of empirical research, it was revealed that an initiative style of thinking with the variable “enriched personality” has a positive correlation, and critical thinking has a positive correlation with the variable “introjected motivation” and “external motivation”. Managerial and practical thinking styles positively correlate with the variables “achievement motivation”, “growing in telligence”, “enriched personality”, “cognitive motivation”, “adoption of learning goals”.

Scientific novelty. The tendency to a reliable connection of thinking styles and academic performance was revealed. A positive correlation between managerial, practical thinking styles and cognitive motivation, achievement motivation is found out. Students with proactive, practical, managerial thinking styles have an above-average academic performance.

Practical significance. The materials of the publication are of practical importance for teachers and students, as the study of the stylistic peculiarities of the individuality of students directly contributes to the effectiveness of the process of skills and knowledge development.

Using Multivariate Statistical Methods for Analysing Financial Literacy, as a Possible Appearance of Social Innovation
Authors: Fodor Kitti
Published: September 2020

Financial literacy is an interesting research area. In this paper my aim is to answer three important questions about financial literacy with help of statistical methods. Can it be predicted whether a country has an appropriate level of financial literacy? Can homogenous groups be identified among the observed countries? Does the income group influence the level of financial literacy? For the prediction of financial literacy I used membership logistic regression. The two independent variables were the Human Development Index and Government expenditure on education (GDP%). I was able to achieve a classification accuracy of 88.5%. To answer my second question I created clusters and used Ward’s method to create five homogeneous groups. I identified one group with an extremely low level of financial literacy. To answer my third question I used the Chi-square test for Independence. During the analysis I came to the conclusion that financial literacy and income group are not independent of each other.
Novel Solutions in Poverty Alleviation in Hungary, with Special Regard to Regional Differences
Authors: Siposné Nándori Eszter
Published: September 2020

The paper examines Hungarian social innovations in the field of poverty. Besides describing their main features, it examines empirical linkages between the rate of social innovations and economic growth. It uses the database of the SozialMarie prize and its methodology includes graphs and Pearson’s correlation. It concludes that the main target groups of the projects coincide with the groups most exposed to poverty. It also finds that economic growth and the rate of social innovations are not significantly related. This implies that more social activism would be needed to alleviate poverty in the less developed regions.

Authors: Paul Vivian Anandith , Anusha Agnigundala , Sarath Chandra Alluru
Published: September 2020

Background: Aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of Physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and Portsmouth predictor modification (P-POSSUM) equations in predicting morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy, to study the morbidity and mortality patterns in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy at Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad. Methods: The study was conducted for a period of 2 years from February 2018 to February 2020. 100 Patients undergoing emergency laparotomy were studied in the Department of General surgery MRIMS, Hyderabad. POSSUM and P-POSSUM scores are used to predict mortality and morbidity. The ratio of observed to expected deaths (O:E ratio) was calculated for each analysis. Results: The study included total 100 patients, 83 men and 17 women. Observed mortality rate was compared to mortality rate with POSSUM, the O:E ratio was 0.62, and there was no significant difference between the observed and predicted values (χ²=10.79, 9 degree of freedom (df) p=0.148). Observed morbidity rates were compared to morbidity rates predicted by POSSUM, there was no significant difference between the observed and predicted values (χ²=9.89, 9 df, p=0.195) and the overall O:E ratio was 0.91. P-POSSUM predicted mortality equally well when the linear method of analysis was used, with an O:E ratio of 0.65 and no significant difference between the observed and predicted values (χ²= 5.33, 9 df, p= 0.617).Conclusion: POSSUM and P-POSSUM scoring is an accurate predictor of mortality and morbidity following emergency laparotomy and is a valid means of assessing adequacy of care provided to the patient.

Published: September 2020

Background: Reporting of adverse drug reactions remains the mainstay of a vibrant pharmacovigilance system that seeks to safeguard medicines in a health system. This study sought to establish the impact of the national medicines regulatory body, The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB), the operationalization of pharmacovigilance implementation strategies in the retail chemists, the effect of the capacity and that of underlying motivation factors of the retail chemist personnel on reporting of adverse drug reactions.Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study design conducted between May 2018 to June 2018.Results: 149 (60%) of the respondents stated that PPB did not engage retail chemists as stakeholders in pharmacovigilance, 127 (51%) said they had never read any PPB publication on pharmacovigilance, 151 (61%) said they had general knowledge on pharmacovigilance, receiving feedback from PPB was considered a major motivational factor towards ADR reporting by 237 (96%). Multivariate analysis of the determinants of ADR reporting in retail chemists established that the pharmacovigilance implementation strategies (p<0.026), retail chemist personnel (p<0.001) and underlying motivational factors (p<0.05) had significant influence on ADR reporting in retail chemists in Nairobi County.Conclusions: PPB has not engaged retail chemists on pharmacovigilance matters as key stakeholders and this has impacted the quality of the pharmacovigilance implementation strategies in the chemists as well as the capacity and motivation of the retail chemist personnel to report ADRs.
Comparison of IV magnesium sulphate and IV esmolol in attenuating hemodynamic extubation response after general anesthesia
Authors: Khadke Suchita Joshi , Gopal Agrawal Chetan
Published: September 2020

Tracheal extubation is associated with a 10–30% increase in arterial pressure and heart rate that could be detrimental in patients with hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease. A reliable technique for rapid & smooth extubation with stable hemodynamics is still not fully evolved.

To compare the effect of intravenous magnesium sulphate and esmolol for attenuating hemodynamic response to extubation after general anesthesia.

Prospective, randomized, double blind study conducted at tertiary care hospital.

Sixty adult subjects undergoing major surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group M received magnesium sulphate 40 mg/kg & Group E received esmolol 0.6 mg/kg IV infusion over 5 minutes before extubation. Heart rate, systolic & diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, rate pressure product, pain score & sedation score were compared from extubation till 15 minutes after extubation.

Students ‘t’ test used for continuous variables & Chi Square test for categorical data.

21.82% fall in heart rate was observed in group M with a plateau at 10 -15 minutes compared to 37.07% in group E with a peak at 15 minutes (p=0.0150). Fall in Systolic blood pressure was 18.86% in group M & 21.15% in group E (p=0.4298). Rate pressure product was significantly lower in group E (50.40%) than group M (36.66%). Postoperative pain score was significantly less in group M compared to group E (p<0.0001).

Magnesium sulphate provides better hemodynamic stability with postoperative analgesia compared to esmolol when used for attenuating hemodynamic response to extubation.
Przeżycie estetyczne a przeżycie mistyczne – ujęcie w horyzoncie teologicznym
Authors: Dzidek Tadeusz
Published: September 2020

Doświadczenie estetyczne i doświadczenie mistyczne są podobne w trzech etapach rozwoju. W pierwszym chodzi o skupienie uwagi na szczególe. Artysta czyni to w stosunku do używanego elementu otaczającej rzeczywistości, przez wydobywanie z niego czegoś szczególnego, z kolei mistyk szuka w świecie natury ślady Boga. W drugim etapie artysta odsuwa od siebie to, co go rozprasza, a także on uwalnia się od artystycznych konwencji, aby tworzyć swe zamierzone dzieło w sposób oryginalny. Z kolei mistyk oczyszcza się ze swoich słabości i przywiązania do świata. W trzecim etapie artysta może kontemplować swe dzieło, a mistyk jest w stanie doświadczać obecności Boga. Chwilowa satysfakcja artysty mija. A w jej miejsce wsącza się poczucie nieadekwatności między zamierzonym pomysłem a jego nieudolnym urzeczywistnieniem w ograniczonej formie. Natomiast mistyk, po chwilowym doświadczeniu obecności Boga, jest świadomy, że przedmiot jego pragnienia przekracza granice wszelkiej możliwości poznania. Piękno i Bóg jawią się jako dwa imiona Jednego.
