Published: September 2024

Objective

The clinical management of catatonia has always been a focus of psychiatric nursing. Unfortunately, there is still limited research on the risk factors and nursing methods for patients with catatonia and bacterial pneumonia. Few studies have identified and analyzed the clinical risk factors for catatonia patients with bacterial pneumonia. This study aims to explore the risk factors and preventive nursing measures for pneumonia in patients with catatonia.

Methods

A total of 88 patients with catatonia treated in the emergency department of a psychiatric hospital from January 2019 to October 2021 were selected. They were divided into bacterial pneumonia group (n=17) and non-pneumonia group (n=71) based on whether they had pneumonia. The demographic data and clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis and point-biserial correlation were used to analyze the risk factors for developing pneumonia in patients with catatonia.

Results

The incidence of pneumonia in patients with catatonia was 19.32%. Correlation analysis showed that age (r=0.216, p=0.043), The Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADL) score (r=0.265, p=0.013), cell count of white blood (r=0.591, p<0.001), neutrophil count (r=0.599, p<0.001), percentage of neutrophils (r=0.311, p=0.003), C-reactive protein (r=0.558, p<0.001), bedridden days (r=0.470, p<0.001), and albumin level (r=-0.288, p=0.007) were significantly associated with pneumonia. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking, bedridden days, family support, and nutritional status were risk factors for pneumonia in patients with catatonia.

Conclusion

Reducing smoking and bedridden days, improving nutrition, and providing timely preventive nursing care by family members can reduce the occurrence of pneumonia in patients with catatonia.

Authors: Sarhan Adnan Lutfi , Jarrar Kamal , Atout Sameeha , Masri Walaa
Published: September 2024

Background

Home demolition is one of the issues that the Palestinian community faces as a result of Israeli procedures that can impact Palestinian mental health. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and stress among Palestinian citizens whose homes were demolished.

Materials and methods

A comparative cross-sectional design was adopted using a purposive sample of home demolished versus not home demolished Palestinian people. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and the Depression and Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) were used to assess the participants' levels of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and stress. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, Version 25, was applied to the statistical analysis.

Results

This study showed that PTSD levels among people whose homes were demolished are significantly high, with a mean of 3.2, which could be indicative of a clinical concern. However, the PTSD level in the comparison group had no significance, with a mean of 1.48. Stress, depression, and anxiety levels were represented as 32.71, in their means, 32.61, and 32.08, respectively, among home-demolished people, compared to stress 18.46, depression 15.87, and anxiety 13.06 among the non home demolished group.

Conclusions

This study is one of the few that sheds light on one of the disadvantaged groups who suffer from home demolition and the severe mental problems that affect them, including PTSD, stress, depression, and anxiety). Furthermore, many related risk factors were studied in this research. As a future recommendation, further research is needed in this field, especially among disadvantaged groups. Stakeholders need to take action to improve the health system in Palestine.
Influence of social support and coping strategies on psychological stress among frontline medical personnel during the Yangbi Earthquake: a cross-sectional analysis
Authors: Li Jiafeng , Ye Jing , Yang Xiaolan , Sun Huan , Yan Hui , Yuan Yiwen , Peng Yang , Tang Xiangdong
Published: September 2024

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the psychological stress experienced by frontline medical staff during the Yangbi Earthquake and to understand how coping strategies and social support influence stress responses.

Methods

From days 3 to 14 post-earthquake, online questionnaires were administered to frontline medical staff to assess perceived social support, coping strategies, and psychological stress responses using the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Trait Coping Strategies Questionnaire (TCSQ), and Stress Response Questionnaire (SRQ). Data analysis included correlation analysis to explore relationships between variables, multiple linear regression to identify key predictors of stress, and path analysis to determine direct and indirect effects.

Results

A total of 253 valid questionnaires were analyzed, with a participant composition of 81.82% females and 18.18% males, and the majority being nurses (62.06%). Psychological stress responses varied by gender and age, with females and older age groups showing higher physical stress responses (P < 0.05). Correlation and regression analyses indicated that negative coping and lower levels of social support were associated with increased stress responses (P < 0.05). Path analysis revealed that intra-family and extra-family support influenced stress responses directly and indirectly through coping strategies (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

This study suggests that perceived social support directly influences stress responses in frontline medical personnel during disasters, with coping strategies mediating this effect. Future research should explore these dynamics over time through longitudinal studies.

Published: September 2024

Background

This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) among patients with diabetes mellitus and hyperuricemia toward disease self-management.

Methods

This web-based cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2023 and January 2024 at Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital. A self-designed questionnaire was developed to collect demographic information of patients with diabetes mellitus and hyperuricemia, and assess their knowledge, attitudes and practices toward disease self-management.

Results

A total of 482 participants were enrolled in this study, among them, 364 (75.52%) were male, 235 (48.76%) were aged between 40 and 59 years, 226 (46.89%) had a body mass index (BMI) ranging from 24 to 28 kg/m2, 337 (69.92%) had received a diagnosis of diabetes for a duration of 2 years or more, while 245 (50.83%) had been diagnosed with hyperuricemia for a similar duration. Their median (range) knowledge, attitude and practice scores were 10.00 (9.00, 11.00) (possible range: 0–12), 38.00 (36.00, 40.00) (possible range: 9–45), and 30.00 (26.00, 34.75) (possible range: 10–50), respectively. The path analysis demonstrated that knowledge had direct effects on attitude (β = 0.508, p < 0.001), and attitude had direct effects on practice (β = 0.448, p < 0.001). Additionally, there was an indirect effect of knowledge on practice mediated through attitude, with a path coefficient of 0.228 (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that patients with diabetes mellitus and hyperuricemia exhibit relatively proficient responses to certain items within the KAP dimensions. However, it also exposes a certain degree of inadequacy in the KAP level toward disease management. Interventions should focus on improving patients’ understanding of their conditions while fostering positive attitudes, ultimately translating into better self-management practices.
Intranodal lymphangiography combined with foam sclerotherapy embolization of thoracic duct in the treatment of postoperative chylous leakage for thyroid carcinoma: a case report and review
Authors: Liu RuiJiang , Cao Lei , Du JingXin , Xie Ping
Published: September 2024

Background

Chylous leakage (CL) is a rare but significant complication following cervical lymph node dissection, particularly in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). This condition is characterized by the leakage of lymphatic fluid, which can result in severe consequences such as malnutrition, immunosuppression, and prolonged hospital stays. Conventional treatments for CL include conservative measures and surgical interventions, but these approaches often face limitations and challenges. This case report discusses a successful treatment of CL using thoracic duct lymphangiography combined with local injection of sclerotherapy, demonstrating a novel and effective approach for managing this complication.

Case presentation

A 72-year-old female patient with PTC underwent total thyroidectomy and bilateral Level VI and left Levels II, III, IV, and V cervical lymph node dissection. Postoperatively, the patient developed milky drainage indicative of CL. Despite initial conservative treatments including pressure bandaging, negative pressure drainage, and nutritional adjustments, the patient's condition did not improve. The patient declined surgical options, leading to the decision to perform thoracic duct lymphangiography combined with local injection of sclerotherapy. Under real-time ultrasound guidance, the inguinal lymph nodes were accessed, and lipiodol was injected to visualize the thoracic duct. Subsequently, foam sclerosant was injected at the leakage site under fluoroscopic guidance. The procedure resulted in a significant reduction of chyle leakage, and the patient was discharged with no recurrence during a 1-year follow-up.

Conclusions

This case illustrates that thoracic duct angiography combined with local injection of sclerotherapy can be an effective treatment for high-output CL when conservative measures fail and surgical intervention is not preferred. The approach offers a minimally invasive alternative that can reduce complications and improve patient outcomes. The successful management of CL in this case underscores the potential of advanced interventional techniques in treating lymphatic system complications and highlights the need for further research to establish standardized treatment protocols.
A comparative analysis of punching in boxing and sanda: kinematic differences based on the cross and uppercut
Authors: Xu QingLou , Mao Ruiqiu , Xi Changjin
Published: September 2024

Background

This research aims to compare the differences in kinematic parameters associated with cross and uppercut punches between Sanda athletes (SA) and Boxing athletes (BA) to analyze their impacts on peak punching speed.

Methods

The punches of BA (n = 20) and SA (n = 20) were compared utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) framework and high-speed cameras in terms of 13 key parameters. An independent samples t-test (α = 0.05) was employed to analyze the differences in punching between BA and SA. Meanwhile, a stepwise multiple linear regression equation was developed to analyze the influence of selected parameters on peak punching speed.

Results

The results reveal that, among the 13 kinematic parameters, the six cross-related parameters and four uppercut-related parameters are significantly different (both p ≤ 0.05). The results of multivariate regression analysis unveils that the peak punching speed for the cross are influenced by the anteroposterior position of the center of gravity (in BA) and the maximum angular velocity of the shoulder (in SA). In contrast, for both BA and SA, the maximum angular velocity of the shoulder plays a critical impact on uppercut.

Conclusions

These findings indicate that trunk and upper limbs significantly influence the peak punching speed, which provides suggestions for daily training regimen of SA and BA as well as their coaches.
Talent selection in 3 × 3 basketball: role of anthropometrics, maturation, and motor performance
Authors: Schmitz Tim Luca , Fleddermann Marie-Therese , Zentgraf Karen
Published: September 2024

Introduction

3 × 3 basketball is becoming more and more professionalized, which is leading to a growing interest in talent development and talent selection. Different studies have demonstrated relevant factors in the talent selection process of 5v5 basketball but not in 3 × 3 basketball. Therefore, this study investigated the main predictors in the talent selection process in 3 × 3 basketball athletes.

Methods

A total of 192 athletes (Mage = 16.11 ± 0.45 years; n = 85 were female) 3 × 3 basketball athletes were assessed for various anthropometric and motor performance variables as well as maturity status. All assessments were carried out during selection camps for the German “under 17” youth national team. Binomial logistic regression was conducted to determine which variables predicted selection (either ‘selected', n = 30 female and n = 34 male, or ‘non-selected’, n = 55 female and n = 73 male).

Results

The regression model was statistically significant in female athletes (χ² (3) = 26.86, p < .001). It explains 37.9% (Nagelkerke's R2) of the variance in selection status and suggests that the general motor-performance component (p < .001) and the anthropometric- and maturation-related component (p = .004) seem to be relevant for being selected. In male athletes, the binomial logistic regression model was also statistically significant (χ² (3) = 11.38, p = .010) with explaining 14.2% (Nagelkerke's R2) of the variance in selection status but only the anthropometric- and maturation-related component (p = .004) predict selection.

Discussion

Anthropometric conditions (such as body height, body weight, and wingspan) and the maturity status are particularly important in talent selection in 3 × 3 basketball for both sexes. Regarding motor-performance variables, we found a predictive value for talent selection only in females (without sprinting), but not in males which means that more ‘athletic' female athletes seem to be favoured in talent selection. The results suggest that the talent selection process might be biased by maturation status even in middle adolescence. Therefore, coaches who decide on athletes’ selection should be aware of the temporal advantages induced by earlier maturation when evaluating talented athletes and should consider strategies such as bio-banding to evaluate the real and potential value of talented athletes.

Introduction

Encouraging the activation of brain repair mechanisms and fostering spontaneous functional recovery in stroke patients hold great promise for alleviating the global burden of this condition and allowing an extended therapeutic time window. Cell-based regenerative therapy (with mesenchymal stem/stromal cells, such as adipose-derived stem cells [ADSCs]) is particularly attractive considering its excellent safety profile, low immunogenicity after allogeneic application, and well-established functional benefits on stroke recovery in animal models. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety effects of intravenous (IV) infusion of freshly cultured allogeneic ADSCs on recovery after ischemic stroke.

Population and methods

RESSTORE is a multicentric, randomized 1:1 controlled double-blind clinical trial. Eighty patients will be enrolled in nine French stroke centers. The main inclusion criteria are ≥18 years of age, acute hemispheric ischemic stroke, and a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of ≥7, including a motor subscore of ≥3. According to the previous dose-escalation safety trial data, the maximum tolerated dose of 3 million ADSCs/kg was selected. IV infusion was performed within 10 days following stroke onset, with a follow-up over 2 years.

Outcomes

The primary endpoint is the motor NIHSS subscore, computed as the sum of the upper limb, lower limb, and hand scores, measured 6 months after stroke onset to assess motor recovery. The secondary outcomes are the occurrence of death/serious adverse events, clinical scores (the detailed NIHSS scores, Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores, modified Rankin Scale scores, Aphasia Handicap Scores, Depression Intensity Scale Circles scores, Fatigue Scale scores, etc.), immune monitoring (for the first 30 patients), and multimodal biomarkers derived from diffusion and functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Discussion

This study may provide some evidence for the effects of freshly cultured allogenic ADSCs IV infusion in subacute stroke that may help design a larger international randomized controlled trial.

Published: September 2024

With the rapid pace of urbanization, a significant number of rural laborers are migrating to cities, leading to a severe shortage of agricultural labor. Consequently, the modernization of agriculture has become a priority. Autonomous picking robots represent a crucial component of agricultural technological innovation, and their development drives progress across the entire agricultural sector. This paper reviews the current state of research on fruit- and vegetable-picking robots, focusing on key aspects such as the vision system sensors, target detection, localization, and the design of end-effectors. Commonly used target recognition algorithms, including image segmentation and deep learning-based neural networks, are introduced. The challenges of target recognition and localization in complex environments, such as those caused by branch and leaf obstruction, fruit overlap, and oscillation in natural settings, are analyzed. Additionally, the characteristics of the three main types of end-effectors—clamping, suction, and cutting—are discussed, along with an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each design. The limitations of current agricultural picking robots are summarized, taking into account the complexity of operation, research and development costs, as well as the efficiency and speed of picking. Finally, the paper offers a perspective on the future of picking robots, addressing aspects such as environmental adaptability, functional diversity, innovation and technological convergence, as well as policy and farm management.
Finite Element Analysis of the Shear Performance of Reinforced Concrete Corbels under Different Design Codes
Authors: Huang Yuan , Peng Leilei , Wei Hanlin
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to investigate the shear performance of reinforced concrete corbels and to evaluate the accuracy and safety of the Chinese code GB 50010-2010’s triangular truss model and the American code ACI 318-19’s strut-and-tie model under various design parameters with a specified design load. A total of 22 corbel specimens with different dimensions and reinforcement configurations were designed and simulated using the finite element software ABAQUS 2020, incorporating the microplane M7 material model, which was validated against experimental data. The findings reveal that for corbels with high-strength concrete or larger shear spans, the Chinese code offers a higher safety margin. Conversely, the safety margin according to the American code initially increases and then decreases with the enhancement of concrete strength, while changes in the shear span have an insignificant impact on the safety margin, which tends to decrease as the shear span increases. Additionally, the inclusion of stirrup reinforcement significantly improves the load-bearing capacity of corbels, with an increase ranging from 15% to 46% compared to those without stirrups.

The emergence of new meat crosses of chickens on the market with a tendency to reduce the terms of rearing broilers makes research in the fi eld of intensity of poultry growth in the fi rst weeks of life relevant enough. The purpose of the conducted research was to study the intensity of the growth rate of broiler chickens of the domestic cross Smena 9 in the fi rst fi ve weeks of rearing. The data on base of anatomical cuttings, the relative growth rate of live weight and internal organs of cockerels and hens was established, which were used for hierarchical classification with the construction of a dendrogram with sequential unifi cation of clusters by the degree of similarity of features. The relative growth rate of cockerels was higher than that of hens by 0.56–1.18 abs.%. The greatest diff erence in growth rate between cockerels and hens was observed for the brain weight (Δ=6.48–6.64 abs.%), intestine weight (Δ=5.20–9.41 abs.%), heart weight (Δ=2.34–4.88 abs.%) and lung weight (Δ=3.25–5.29 abs.%). The general pattern was the unifi cation of pectoral muscles by relative growth rate at the fi rst stage of agglomeration in cockerels. In hens, this muscle group was allocated to a separate cluster. The live weight of poultry of both sexes fell into the cluster of fast-growing organs and was closest to the kidney growth rate. The heart, lungs, intestine and glandular stomach formed a separate cluster with a moderate growth rate. The muscular stomach and esophagus with crop belonged to the cluster with a slow growth rate.

«NOVGORODSKIYE GUBERNSKIYE VEDOMOSTI» (1860): SPECIFICITY OF OFFICIAL CONTENT
Authors: Semenova A. L. , Vasileva D. N. , Nazarova A. A.
Published: September 2024

Provincial newspapers from different regions of Russia often become the object of study. The greatest attention is usually paid to the newspaper’s unofficial part, because here you can find various topics, genres, and the style of the texts there had journalistic features. This study is devoted to the Official part of the Novgorod provincial newspaper which came out in 1860. It was a pre-reform year and it was important to see whether the official content of the publication contains any instructions related to the upcoming reform. The official part of the “Novgorodskiye gubernskiye vedomosti” newspaper contains important administrative information. A study of the official part’s content shows that the information was presented according to a single template. This may seem boring to read, but at the same time, this approach makes it easier to find the information you needed in the newspaper. Based on the conducted research, we can conclude that publications of the Official Part of the “Novgorodskiye gubernskiye vedomosti” can be a reliable basis for various studies and a great help in restoring information if archival documents are lost.
THE VICTIM ARCHETYPE AND THE DRAGON-FIGHTING PLOT IN E. SCHWARTZ’S PLAY «DRAGON»
Authors: Kupriyanova E. S. , Konovalova A. M.
Published: September 2024

The play "Dragon" by E. Schwartz reinterprets the archetypal dragon-fighting plot with its traditional situation of sacrifice. The triad of characters – dragon, dragon-slayer and sacrificial maiden – traditionally correlates with the archetypes of Hero, Shadow and Anima (the harmonizing female part of the male personality). However, the Jungian register of archetypes is not relevant in this case; the necessity and functionality of introducing the archetype of the Victim, whose validity is confirmed by its compliance with the criteria of archetypicality (eternity, importance, community and capacity), into scientific use is evident. On the material of Western European and Slavic folklore the main typological features of the Victim archetype – powerlessness, rightlessness, plight (not only because of monster-like creatures, but also because of human cruel decisions) are formulated and illustrated. The analysis of E. Schwartz's play "Dragon" allowed us to demonstrate the process of adapting the traditional model of "offering sacrifice" (sacrifice to the dragon) and creating a new innovative type of the heroine-victim: Elsa, initially stated in the play as a passive victim, is a dynamic character, in the course of whose development the usual archetype of the victim is destroyed through the detailed development of the psychological state of the "maiden in distress" (worries, doubts and attempted protest) and her gradual development as a tragic heroine.
POETICS AND AXIOLOGY OF THE EPITAPH GENRE IN THE WORKS OF G. R. DERZHAVIN
Authors: Sorokin V. B.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the epitaphs of G. R. Derzhavin in the aspect of the poet's value system and worldview. A comparison of a number of gravestone formulas in epitaphs and odes has been carried out, revealing the author's preference for the lapidarity of the text. The classification of epitaphs according to the content and compositional feature is given: brief - "nominative", descriptive - "portrait" and plot - "biographical". The most characteristic examples of targeting and special objects in the general circle of addresses in the G. R. Derzhavin’s epitaphs are described. The emotional spectrum of G. R. Derzhavin's epitaphs is extremely wide. The poet dedicates his mournful poems to monarchs and nobles, generals, friends, relatives, his beloved wife who died prematurely and there are auto-epitaphs. Along with this, there are purely literary, ironic, epigrammatic epitaphs, including imperative-invective formulas.
THE TRADITION OF DEPICTING THE GASE OF ANIMALS
Authors: Gordovich K. D.
Published: September 2024

The tradition of incorporating the "gaze" and "voice" of animals into realistic textual portrayals has a longstanding presence in Russian literature. This tradition correlates with the use of a child’s perspective on adult problems, the obvious incomprehension while underlining the simplicity and authenticity of the child. The kind of animal at the centre of the story is not important. What is important is the change in observation angle, its novelty. Leo Tolstoy's short story "Kholstomer," Chinghiz Aitmatov's novel "Farewell, Gulsary!" and the work of contemporary author G. Sluzhitel titled "Days of Saveliy" are considered in this article. These writers accentuate the unique sensitivity of animals in various ways. Through their eyes, the authors perceive and evaluate instances of obvious injustice, the lack of empathy in humans and the cruelty of their actions. The authors do not conceal the deliberate artifice of this technique. The reader also comprehends that the emphasis is not on verisimilitude but on the revelation of the essence of moral quandaries and relationships within the realm of human existence.
ON THE ISSUE OF THE DATE OF THE ALL-RUSSIAN CANONIZATION OF SAINT ABRAHAM OF GALICH, CHUKHLOMSKY
Authors: Dorofeeva K. V.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the dating of the canonization of St. Abraham of Galich (Chukhlomsky). According to the hypothesis of E. E. Golubinsky, based on the text of the calendar of saints in a handwritten collection of the 16th century, which has a lacuna, the decision on canonization was made at the Council of 1553. We compared this fragment of the text with another manuscript of the same complier (Ignatius Zaitsev), similar in content and time, and found that the lacuna is not an accidental omission of St. Abraham’s name. The message about the beginning of the celebration from 1553 on July 20 refers to the adoption of the council decision to establish an all-Russian "middle" ("with polyeleos") instead of the "small" ("with doxology") celebration of the prophet Elijah. When studying the handwritten collections, cinnabar marks in the margins recording the degree of celebration were taken into account, and footnote signs in the margins were compared. The arguments confirm the veneration of Saint Abraham in the mid-16th century and the preparation for his canonization, but do not record the fact and date of the council decision to establish a celebration for him, the extent and degree of solemnity of this celebration.

Authors: Suyasa P. Tommy Y. S. , Mulyatri Lydia , Sebastiaan Rothmann
Published: September 2024

Pandemi telah menciptakan kondisi yang menantang terhadap cara kerja tradisional selama ini bahkan hingga saat ini selepas pandemi. Manajer menjadi harus beradaptasi secara cepat ke kondisi “tidak tahu yang tidak diketahui” sebagaimana mereka berusaha mendukung karyawan di lingkungan kerja untuk beradaptasi dengan perubahan. Karyawan yang pada umumnya menghabiskan sebagian besar waktunya di perusahaan dengan batasan-batasan fisik sekarang harus menyesuaian diri dengan cepat dalam kondisi bekerja remote ataupun hybrid ataupun kembali bekerja di kantor. Berbagai penelitian di seluruh dunia dilakukan untuk mendukung upaya mengeksplorasi berbagai hal yang dinilai efektif dalam penyusunan strategi kepuasan kerja karyawan. Organisasi juga menyadari bahwa ketidakpuasan kerja dapat berkontribusi terhadap intention to leave yang dapat berdampak negatif pada perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti peran dukungan atasan dalam memprediksi intensi untuk keluar pada karyawan dengan kepuasan kerja sebagai mediator. Peneliti akan membahas aspek dukungan atasan ini lebih komprehensif dengan menggunakan 3 dimensi yang berasal dari self-determination theory, yaitu dukungan otonomi, kompetensi serta keterkaitan. Partisipan penelitian adalah 337 karyawan dengan status permanen perusahaan berusia produktif dari berbagai departemen dan bidang industri di jabodetabek. Pengambilan data dilakukan melalui survey dengan metode convenience sampling sebagai bagian dari metode non-probability sampling. Alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah. Supervisor Behaviour Scale (SBS), Intention to leave Scale (ILS), Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepuasan kerja memediasi secara penuh variabel dukungan atasan dalam memprediksi intensi untuk keluar. Dengan kata lain, semakin tingginya dukungan atasan dapat memprediksi turunnya intensi karyawan untuk keluar melalui peran mediasi dari meningkatnya kepuasan kerja karyawan.

Im Namen der Swiss Grand Round for Vascular Anomalies in Children (SGVAC). Infantile Hämangiome (IH) sind mit einer Prävalenz von 4-5% die häufigsten benignen Tumore des Kindesalters(1). Seit der Entdeckung der Wirksamkeit von Propranolol zur Behandlung problematischer IH im Jahr 2008 und nachfolgender Zulassung in der Schweiz im Jahr 2014 hat sich deren Management grundlegend geändert(2,3). Im Jahr 2009 wurden erstmals die „Schweizer Richtlinien zur Propranolol-Therapie infantiler Hämangiome“ im Namen der Swiss Grand Round for Vascular Anomalies in Childhood (SGVAC) veröffentlicht und 2016 überarbeitet publiziert(4,5). Die heute verfügbaren Erfahrungen und Daten machen eine Überarbeitung dieser Richtlinien erforderlich. Neu wurden zudem die Behandlung mit anderen systemischen Betablockern sowie die topische Therapie infantiler Hämangiome in die Richtlinien aufgenommen.
Primäres Lymphödem im Kindesalter
Authors: Luchsinger Isabelle , Zhovta Nataliia
Published: September 2024

Das primäre Lymphödem (PL) ist eine genetisch bedingte Erkrankung des Lymphgefässsystems und führt zu Schwellungen einer oder mehrerer Extremitäten. Der Zeitpunkt des Auftretens, das klinische Bild und der Schweregrad sind heterogen und variieren je nach Genveränderung. Da syndromale Formen bekannt sind, ist eine genetische Diagnostik essentiell. Um einer Progression möglichst entgegenzuwirken, ist eine zeitgerechte Therapieeinleitung wichtig.
Pädiatrische Dermatologie auf dunkler Haut
Authors: Luchsinger Isabelle
Published: September 2024

Im klinischen Alltag führen Hautveränderungen auf dunkler Haut oft zu Unsicherheit. Bestimmte Hauterkrankungen fallen auf dunkler Haut stärker auf, während andere eine unterschiedliche Häufigkeit oder Erscheinungsform haben als auf heller Haut. Ein Verständnis der physiologischen Unterschiede und spezifischen Merkmale ist hilfreich bei der Diagnosestellung. Selbst gewöhnliche Hauterkrankungen können herausfordernd sein, da das Erythem, ein wichtiger Hinweis für die Interpretation von Hautveränderungen, schwieriger zu erkennen ist oder sogar ganz fehlt.
Epidermolysis bullosa – Schweizer Versorgungsstrukturen und aktuelle Therapiemöglichkeiten
Authors: Schwieger-Briel Agnes , Reimer-Taschenbrecker Antonia
Published: September 2024

Die hereditäre Epidermolysis bullosa (kurz EB) ist eine Gruppe seltener genetischer Hauterkrankungen, die sich durch eine erhöhte Hautfragilität als Folge von strukturellen Veränderungen in der dermo-epidermalen Junktionszone auszeichnet. Aufgrund einer reduzierten Stabilität zwischen den verschiedenen Hautschichten besteht eine eingeschränkte Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber mechanischer Belastung, so dass selbst leichte Traumata oder milde Scherkräfte zu Blasenbildung und Ablösungen an der Haut und, je nach Subtyp, auch an Schleimhäuten von Mund, Auge und Magen-Darm-Trakt führen können.

Au nom du Swiss Grand Round for Vascular Anomalies in Children (SGVAC). Avec une prévalence de 4-5% les hémangiomes infantiles (HI) sont les tumeurs bénignes les plus fréquentes pendant l’enfance(1). Depuis la découverte en 2008 de l’efficacité du propranolol dans le traitement des HI problématiques et l’admission en Suisse en 2014, la prise en charge des HI a fondamentalement changé(2,3). En 2009 ont été éditées les premières «Recommandations suisses pour le traitement des hémangiomes infantiles par propranolol», revues en 2016, au nom de Swiss Grand Round for Vascular Anomalies in Childhood (SGVAC)(4,5). Les expériences et données disponibles aujourd’hui exigent une mise à jour de ces recommandations. Nouvellement ont été inclus le traitement systémique par d’autres bêtabloquants et le traitement topique des HI.
Dermatologie pédiatrique sur peau foncée
Authors: Luchsinger Isabelle
Published: September 2024

Au quotidien clinique les altérations sur une peau foncée sont souvent source d’incertitude. Certaines affections se remarquent davantage sur une peau foncée, alors que pour d’autres la fréquence et la manifestation sont différentes de la peau claire. La compréhension des différences physiologiques et des caractéristiques spécifiques aide à poser un diagnostic. Même des maladies banales de la peau peuvent être un défi, l’érythème, signe important pour l’interprétation d’altérations de la peau, pouvant être plus difficile à reconnaître voire manquer.
Épidermolyse bulleuse – structures de prise en charge et moyens de traitement actuels en Suisse
Authors: Schwieger-Briel Agnes , Reimer-Taschenbrecker Antonia
Published: September 2024

L’épidermolyse bulleuse congénitale (EB) est un groupe de maladies génétiques rares qui se caractérise par une fragilité accrue de la peau, due à des modifications structurelles de la zone de jonction dermo-épidermique. En raison d’une stabilité réduite entre les différentes couches de la peau, la résistance aux sollicitations mécaniques est amoindrie, de sorte que même des traumatismes ou frottements légers peuvent provoquer la formation de bulles et le décollement de la peau et, selon le sous-groupe, aussi des muqueuses buccale, des yeux et du tube digestif.

Authors: Vapor Berfin , Tunca Ekrem
Published: September 2024

Nowadays, there is an increasing trend in the use of natural products to treat diseases or alleviate their effects. This situation has emerged as a result of the side effect problem seen in the use of synthetic drugs. In this study, Anatolian black pine cone extracts were prepared using solvents of different polarities (water, methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, n-hexane). Then, the effects of these extracts on the esterase activities of hCA I and hCA II isoenzymes, which are associated with many physiological disorders, were examined in vitro. IC50 values were in the range of 5.10 to 49.50 μg/mL for hCA I and 2.57 to 15.07 μg/mL for hCA II. It can be said that these results are promising in terms of the potential of Anatolian black pine cone as a natural pharmacological agent.

Authors: Bushueva Tatiana V. , Roslaya Natalia A. , Shastin Aleksandr S.
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Pneumonias remain a public health challenge in different countries owing to their high epidemiologic and socioeconomic importance. Streptococcus pneumoniae rank highest among the bacterial etiologic agents of the disease accounting for 33 % to 50 % of all cases with established causes.
Objective: To analyze pneumonia incidence among the working-age population of the Ural Federal District.
Materials and methods: We have analyzed the incidence of pneumonia in the people of working age living in the Ural Federal District and its constituents for the years 2012–2019. The restriction of the study period is associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020–2021, during which cases of viral pneumonia were not distinguished during registration, thus making the retrospective comparison impossible. We used statistical materials of the Central Research Institute for Health Organization and Informatics of the Russian Ministry of Health and the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Sverdlovsk Region in part of infectious and parasitic disease surveillance.
Results: The pneumonia incidence rate in the working-age population of the Ural Federal District over the study period significantly exceeded the Russian average (379.5 ± 14.9 vs. 328.9 ± 26.37 per 100,000 working-age population in the Russian Federation, p = 0.01)) and tended to increase. The rates were statistically higher in the regions and in large industrial urban districts with developed mining and mineral processing industries.
Conclusions: The incidence of pneumonia in the working-age population of the Ural Federal District demonstrates a rising trend. In urban districts with developed mining and processing industries, the disease rates among the population of working age significantly exceed the regional averages.

In municipal governance, the potential for transformational leadership is often stifled by various factors that hinder local leaders from embracing innovative practices and driving meaningful change. This article delves into the key obstacles that impede municipal leaders from evolving into transformational figures who can inspire their communities and foster progressive development hence examined the factors that hinder municipal leaders from becoming transformational leaders with special reference to the City of Harare. The study focused on local authorities due to their impact on the social, economic and political development of the country as they provide core service at a local level. The study population was made up of five hundred (500)people in Council leadership positions and a sample of 60 participants was drawn. The findings revealed that autocratic leadership was the most used leadership style. Factors that hinder municipal, leaders to become transformational leaders brought about by the finding included lack of knowledge and qualifications, corruption, bureaucracy, economic challenges, politics at the expense of service delivery and silo mentality. It was recommended to take a leaf from the Eagle Intelligent Transformation Strategy and propose Muguti’s Diamond Transformational Leadership Model. A functional organisational culture is called for where Ubuntu is practiced.
