A lateral cephalometric x-ray study of selected vertical dimensions in children with atypical deglutition
Authors:   State University of Campinas, Machado Junior Almiro , Crespo Agricio
Published: May 2021

Atypical deglutition (tongue thrust swallowing) has been thought by some to be an etiological factor related to dental malocclusion, especially changes related to excessive increase in vertical facial growth. The purpose of this study was to investigate this possible relationship between atypical deglutition and vertical facial growth by documenting the lower, middle and upper facial areas of children with atypical deglutition. 55 lateral cephalometric radiographs were analyzed and measured in each of two groups of subjects according to standardized facial plane angles between the (I) palatal plane and mandibular plane, (II) palatal plane and occlusal plane, (III) mandibular plane and occlusal plane, (IV) skull base and Frankfurt plane, and (V) mandibular angle. The experimental group was comprised of 55 subjects with atypical deglutition, while 55 subjects with normal swallowing were used as a control group. The linear/angular measurements were subjected to Mann-Whitney statistical test with a significance level of 5%. Results: The average angle of the variables I, II, III and IV are, respectively: 29, 14, 14 and 9 degrees in both groups. There were no significant differences in the variables studied in the normal and atypical swallowing groups. However, for variable V there were 3 degrees of difference between the groups, which was statistically significant. The results of this study suggest that the problem of atypical swallowing may be of functional origin and not associated with anatomical changes seen in vertical growth patterns.
Influence of mandibular morphology on the hyoid bone in atypical deglutition: A correlational study
Authors:   School of Medical Sciences Unicamp, Machado Almiro , Crespo Agricio
Published: May 2021

Objective: evaluate the possible correlation with the radiographic position of the hyoid bone and mandibular angle in lateral radiographs of children with atypical deglutition. Study design: This was an observational study using cephalometric analysis of lateral teleradiographs for the distances of H-MP (hyoid to mandibular plane). Spearman’s correlation analysis was performed with MA (mandibular angle) in two groups: the experimental group with atypical deglutition and the control group normal deglutition. Both groups included subjects in mixed dentition stage. Results: there was a significant moderate negative correlation between MA (mandibular angle) and hyoid bone (H-MP) in the normal group (R = −0.406, p = 0.021). However, there was no significant correlation between the MA and H-MP (R = 0.029, p = 0.83) in the group with atypical deglutition. Conclusion: there is a moderate negative correlation between the position of the hyoid bone and mandibular angle in the group of normal swallowing and there is no correlation between variables H-MP and MA in the group of atypical swallowing.
Horns, whistles, bite blocks, and straws: A review of tools/objects used in articulation therapy by van Riper and other traditional therapists
Authors:   Marshalla Speech and Language, Marshalla Pam
Published: May 2021

The use of tools and other objects in articulation therapy has been bundled into new groups of activities called “nonspeech oral motor exercises” (NSOME) and ‘nonspeech oral motor treatments’ (NSOMT) by some authors. The purveyors of these new terms suggest that there is no proof that such objects aid speech learning, and they have cautioned students and professionals about their use. Speech-language pathologists are trying to reconcile these cautions with basic Van Riper type therapy routines. The purpose of this literature review was to summarize the ways in which tools/objects were used by Van Riper and other speech professionals between 1939 and 1968. Fourteen textbooks were selected for review. Van Riper and other developers of traditional articulation therapy regularly used a wide variety of tools/objects in articulation therapy. Tools/objects were used when other auditory, linguistic, and cognitive means failed to stimulate correct phoneme productions. To call these activities “non-speech” methods seems to misrepresent the historic purpose objects have served in articulation therapy. More empirical research is required in this area.

La escritura de los notarios públicos de nombramiento episcopal en el área central de Asturias: siglos XIII y XIV
Authors: Antuña Castro Roberto
Published: May 2021

En este artículo se analiza la escritura de las oficinas notariales en las jurisdicciones episco-pales ovetenses en el centro del territorio asturiano durante parte de la Baja Edad Media. Con ello se pretende contribuir al estudio de la evolución de los tipos gráficos góticos en la Asturias bajomedieval en un entorno rural, pero también conocer cómo y dónde se produce el aprendizaje de la escritura, así como las posibles relaciones de escuela entre el notario titular y el personal que trabaja a su servicio. Nos servirá para determinar si en las notarías, además de transmitirse los conocimientos teóricos jurí-dicos y prácticos para el desempeño del oficio y la redacción de los documentos públicos, se ocupa de enseñar los rudimentos gráficos, esto es, si se da también una formación inicial escrituraria. Para ello se realiza el análisis paleográfico de la escritura utilizada en estos despachos notariales rurales a través de los instrumentos públicos originales conservados de la época de la implantación y consolidación del notariado. Por su volumen, destaca la producción documental de Nicolás Pascual, notario público en Las Regueras y Peñaflor, de la que extraeremos gran parte de nuestras conclusiones al ofrecer el resto de las notarías una imagen muy fragmentaria por la escasez de las escrituras localizadas para otros escribanos públicos.
Percepção da equipe de enfermagem dos serviços de urgência e emergência públicos acerca do ambiente de trabalho

Published: May 2021

Resumo - Pesquisa de natureza qualitativa que teve como objetivo conhecer a percepção da equipe de enfermagem acerca da segurança no ambiente de trabalho nos Serviços de Urgência e Emergência (SUE) do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), em uma capital da região Centro-Oeste. Foram entrevistados 14 profissionais da equipe de enfermagem de sete unidades de saúde. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e gravadas por meio digital. A coleta de dados deu-se entre abril e junho de 2018, as falas foram transcritas e analisadas segundo a proposta de Análise de Conteúdo modalidade temática. Neste artigo, foram analisadas a categoria “Percepção do ambiente de trabalho pela equipe de enfermagem” e duas subcategorias: “Sentimento de insegurança” e “Violência no ambiente de trabalho”. Constatou-se, por meio das falas dos profissionais que o ambiente no qual desenvolvem suas atividades, é um local inseguro, evidenciado pela carência da guarda municipal, além de mencionarem que estes estão somente para fazer a segurança do patrimônio. Isso tem facilitado o acesso dos usuários de forma indevida em locais que são privativos aos profissionais. Além disso, convivem com o sentimento de medo, pois, o cotidiano é marcado pela violência tanto de ordem verbal como física. Essas questões têm contribuído para que alguns profissionais sintam medo e sem motivação para o desenvolverem suas atividades. Assim, o ambiente de trabalho para estes profissionais no contexto dos SUE é tido como um local desprovido de privacidade e segurança, o que influencia na qualidade dos serviços prestados a comunidade.

Clientelismo personalizado en Colombia: una aproximación histórico-institucional a un estudio de caso
Authors: González Tule Luis , Guzmán Carlos , Tuirán Ángel
Published: May 2021

Gran parte de la literatura politológica considera que el clientelismo es dañino para las democracias. En menor medida, otras aproximaciones estiman que el clientelismo es un mecanismo de atención de demandas para poblaciones vulnerables. Este artículo pretende contribuir al conocimiento generado en torno a este tema a través de un estudio de caso. Se busca: 1) mostrar cómo opera el clientelismo, tomando como referencia el municipio de Barranquilla, Colombia; 2) proponer explicaciones para entender la lógica clientelar; y 3) indagar en sus efectos sobre el régimen democrático. A partir de un enfoque histórico-institucional, argumentamos que el clientelismo en Barranquilla es de naturaleza personalizada y no partidista como resultado de los arreglos políticos y los cambios institucionales que han tenido lugar en Colombia desde mediados del siglo XX. Con base en la evidencia podemos afirmar que la política clientelar ha permitido a las élites económico-políticas locales perpetuarse en el poder y que las asimetrías entre gobernantes y gobernados persistan.

Azoto dujos padangose. Jų įtaka transporto priemonių eksploataciniam saugumui ir ekonomiškumui
Authors: Grinkevičius Saulius , Ežerskienė Sigutė
Published: May 2021

Eksploatuojant keleivines transporto priemones degalų suvartojimo ekonomiškumas siejamas su tuo, kaip yra valdoma transporto priemonė. Ekonomiškas transporto priemonės valdymas priklauso nuo variklio, transmisijos, aerodinaminio pasipriešinimo bei transporto priemonės riedėjimo. Variklio, transmisijos ir aerodinaminiai nuostoliai paprastai yra siejami su šių transporto priemonės dalių konstrukcija, o riedėjimo nuostoliai yra susiję su transporto priemonės padangomis ir tai yra vienintelė transporto priemonės dalis, turinti tiesioginį sąlytį su keliu. Pripūstų padangų pasipriešinimas riedėjimui yra svarbus atsparumo komponentas, lemiantis transporto priemonės judėjimą ir prisidedantis prie transporto priemonės degalų sąnaudų sumažėjimo. Daugelis tiriamųjų darbų buvo sutelkta į tai, kaip įvairūs padangų parametrai (pvz., apkrova, dujų slėgis padangoje ir transporto priemonės judėjimo greitis) lemia pasipriešinimą riedėjimui ir degalų sąnaudų ekonomiškumą. Naujausi tyrimai rodo, kad padangos, pripūstos azoto dujų, gali palaikyti tinkamą slėgį ir sumažinti gumos susidėvėjimą. Todėl šio tyrimo tikslas yra ištirti azoto dujomis pripūstų padangų naudojimo įtaką transporto priemonės saugumui, eksploatacinių savybių pagerinimui ir eksploatacinių išlaidų sumažinimui.

Polyesteramides Based on Linseed and Safflower Oils for Protective Coatings
Authors: El-sawy M. M. , Shaker N. O. , Kandeel E. M.
Published: May 2021

Polyesteramide resins were obtained and evaluated as vehicles and the variations of film performance in relation to the amide linkage were studied. Treatment of either linseed or safflower oils with diethanolamine with catalytic amounts of alkali metal alkoxide under relatively mild conditions led to a substantially complete conversion to N,N-(hydroxyethyl) linseed amide (HELA) and N,N-(hydroxyethyl) safflower amide (HESA). Polymerization of the polyols with diadipyl aromatic amines (aniline, p-toluidine, p-aminophenol and p-aminobenzoic acid) was carried out to yield polyesteramide derivatives having interesting surface coating properties. Such a substitution was claimed to give much harder, tougher, more flexible films with excellent chemical resistance in comparison with alkyd resins of similar oil length. The study includes stoving films mechanical evaluation as gloss percent at 60ºC, adhesion, impact, pencil hardness and bending tests using mild steel plates. The films also possess excellent impact resistance, high scratch hardness values, excellent bending test and good adhesion.

Orchids as Potential Sources of Anticancer Agents: Our Experience
Authors: Pant Bijaya , Ram Paudel Mukti , Raj Joshi Pusp
Published: May 2021

Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and the cancer burden continues to grow, exerting tremendous physical, emotional and financial strain on individuals, families, communities and health systems. Many health systems in low- and middle-income countries are ill-prepared to manage this burden, and around the world large numbers of cancer patients do not have access to timely quality diagnosis or treatment. Natural products, especially originated from plants, have been applied as remedies to treat various diseases, including cancer, for thousands of years. Several anticancer agents derived from plants, such as paclitaxel (taxol), vinblastine, vincristine, camptothecin derivatives, podophyllotoxins, are in clinical use and a number of other promising agents are in preclinical or clinical development. A growing number of bioactive compounds with cytostatic and cytotoxic activities to treat cancer have been isolated from several orchid species. The Annapurna Research Center in collaboration with other academic institutions is engaged in identifying and exploring anticancer compounds in orchids of Nepal. The center has identified ten different orchid species which contain high phenol and flavonoid contents evidently showing anticancer activities in our in vitro assays against different cancer cell lines viz cervical cancer, lung cancer and brain tumor cell lines. These findings demonstrate that orchids which have been used in in various formulations in traditional medicine since ancient times qualify as potential source for novel drug candidates or starting points for further lead optimization towards clinical candidates for the most urgently needed treatment of aggressive types of cancer. This review paper highlights that in all likelihood; our contributions in orchid research here in Nepal could bring great relief to patients with cancer globally.

Individuals, communities, and sound change: an introduction
Authors: Hall-Lew Lauren , Honeybone Patrick , Kirby James
Published: May 2021

Do individual differences affect sound change? Traditional approaches to phonetic and phonological change typically downplay differences between the individuals who make up a speech community that is undergoing change, but this has been questioned in recent years in a number of ways from within several distinct traditions of research. The articles in the Glossa Special Collection to which this article is an introduction consider the extent to which individual differences (at a psychological, sociological, physiological, genetic and/or behavioral level) between the members of a speech community might or might not be important in explaining the general properties of sound change. This introduction places these articles in context, considers what we might mean by ‘sound change’ and ‘individual differences’, and aims to build a synthesis of the current research landscape in the area.
Olga Tokarczuk’s Portrait of Jacob Frank against the Backdrop of His Times
Authors: Jarzębski Jerzy , Huss Joanna Trzeciak
Published: May 2021

In Księgi Jakubowe [The Books of Jacob], a fictionalized account of the eighteenth-century religious leader Jacob Frank and his followers, Olga Tokarczuk crafts a narrative that privileges the diverse and often nonconvergent perspectives of characters caught up in historical events that they do not fully understand. Likewise, in Bieguni [Flights], Tokarczuk allows the diverse narratives making up this “constellation novel” to unfold under the autonomy of their protagonists. Allowing for the coexistence of narrative elements that clash is a special case of an overall literary strategy that can be found throughout Tokarczuk’s work: conflicting ideas deliberately juxtaposed to elicit philosophical and existential questions. This implies that the process of interpreting a sprawling work such as The Books of Jacob cannot succeed under the assumption that one is encountering a clearly defined reality with a fixed essence. Rather, one must approach the task of interpretation in a piecemeal fashion, such that gradually a picture of Frank, his followers, and his time emerges. This picture captures Poland and the rest of East Central Europe on the cusp of modernity.
Looking for a Path of One’s Own: The Groundbreaking Role of Olga Tokarczuk’s House of Day, House of Night
Authors: Czyżak Agnieszka , Green Ryan
Published: May 2021

This essay presents an analysis of Olga Tokarczuk’s Dom dzienny, dom nocny [House of day, house of night, 1998], a book significant for the consideration of her artistic choices. This novel was a turning point in Tokarczuk’s career: it can be perceived as her first attempt at creating a distinct narrator who tries to understand problems of the contemporary world. In the novel, Tokarczuk completes the task she set for herself by creating literary images of heterotopic places and spaces, which have been affected by erosion, disintegration, and the death of space. The transformation, as an essential form of existence, is confronted with a set model of social roles and interpersonal behavior.

Influence of Thoracic Kyphosis on Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Outcomes
Authors: Reintgen Christian , Armington Samuel , Vigan Marie , Werthel Jean-David , Patrick Matthew , King Joseph , Wright Thomas , Schoch Bradley
Published: May 2021

Introduction:

Patient dissatisfaction after primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has been reported as high as 9%. In patients with excessive thoracic kyphosis, the scapula protracts and tilts anteriorly, which may lead to early impingement with the acromion and loss of forward elevation. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of thoracic kyphosis on overhead ROM after rTSA.

Methods:

A prospectively collected shoulder registry was retrospectively reviewed for all patients undergoing primary rTSA with a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Preoperative and latest follow-up ROM (forward elevation, abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation), patient-reported outcome measures (SPADI, SST-12, ASES, UCLA, SF-12, and the visual analog scale), and the Constant score were collected. Postoperative radiographs were evaluated for implant loosening and notching. Patients were separated into three groups according to the thoracic kyphosis angle (<25°, 25 to 45°, and >45°) and also analyzed as a continuous variable. The groups were compared using analysis of variance and chi-square tests as indicated.

Results:

Three hundred five shoulders in 279 patients were reviewed at a mean follow-up of 3.9 years (range 2 to 10 years). Female patients and patients with a history of heart disease were statistically more likely to have increased thoracic kyphosis (P < 0.05). After surgery, forward elevation and abduction were similar among all groups (<25: 133°, 25 to 45: 132°, >45: 127°; P = 0.199 and <25: 123°, 25 to 45: 122°, >45: 117°; P = 0.330). All other postoperative ROM measurements and all patient-reported outcome measures were also similar, regardless of measured kyphosis. In addition, no association was observed between the degree of thoracic kyphosis and scapular notching (P = 0.291).

Discussion:

Despite thoracic kyphosis being a known risk factor for loss of overhead motion in the native shoulder, shoulders with excessive thoracic kyphosis demonstrated similar overhead ROM at early follow-up after primary rTSA.

Effects of Skilled Nursing Facility Partnerships on Outcomes Following Total Joint Arthroplasty
Authors: Kaidi Austin C. , Shah Roshan P. , Doucet Mary G. , Neuwirth Alexander L. , Geller Jeffrey A. , Cooper H. John
Published: May 2021

Introduction:

Post-total joint arthroplasty (TJA) discharge to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) is associated with higher costs and more complications than home discharge; however, some patients still require postoperative SNF care. To improve outcomes for patients requiring postoperative SNF care, this article analyzed the effect of SNF-surgeon partnerships on TJA postoperative costs and patient outcomes.

Methods:

This was a retrospective study of primary TJA patients who were part of Medicare's Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) pilot program at our urban, academic medical center. We identified all patients discharged to SNF and designated SNFs as “preferred” if they maintained a partnership with our surgical team. SNF costs, total 90-day postoperative costs, average length of stay in SNF, 90-day readmission rates, and readmission diagnoses were recorded. Data were compared using Student t-tests. Readmission rates and the presence of a readmission diagnosis were analyzed using z-scores.

Results:

Our search identified 189 patients (22.9%) discharged to SNFs, with 128 (67.8%) discharged to preferred and 61 (32.2%) discharged to nonpreferred facilities. Over the 4-year CJR pilot program, SNF costs ($10,981.23 versus $7,343.34; P < 0.005) and overall postdischarge costs ($23,952.52 versus $18,339.26; P = 0.07) were higher for patients discharged to nonpreferred SNFs versus preferred SNFs. Patients discharged to nonpreferred SNFs also had increased length of stay (14.8 versus 10.1 days; P < 0.005) and increased readmission rates (19.7% versus 3.9%; P < 0.005). These differences became more pronounced across the study period.

Conclusion:

For patients undergoing primary TJA, hospital partnership with SNFs can improve CJR performance by cost reduction and overall outcomes for TJA patients.

Introduction:

Symptoms of stress, depression, and burnout are prevalent in medicine, adversely affecting physician performance. We investigated real-time measurements of physiological strain in orthopaedic resident and faculty surgeon volunteers and identified potential daily stressors.

Methods:

We performed a prospective blinded cohort pilot study in our academic orthopaedic department. Physicians used a wearable fitness device for 12 weeks to objectively measure heart rate variability (HRV), a documented parameter of overall well-being. Baseline burnout levels were assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire. Daily surveys inquiring on work responsibilities (clinic, operating room [OR], or “other”) were correlated with physiological parameters of strain. Descriptive statistics and linear mixed effects modeling were used to evaluate bivariate relationships.

Results:

Of the 21 participating surgeons, 9 faculty and 12 residents, there was a response rate of 95.2% for the initial burnout survey. Daily surveys were completed for 63.8% (54.9 ± 22.3 days) of the total collection window, and surgeons wore the device for 83.2% of the study (71.6 ± 25.0 days). Residents trended toward lower personal accomplishment and greater psychological detachment on the Maslach Burnout Inventory, with 5 surgeons including 1 faculty surgeon (11.1%) and 4 resident surgeons (33.3%) found to have negatively trending HRV throughout the study period demonstrating higher physiological strain. Time in the OR led to increased next-day HRV (y-intercept = 47.39; B = 4.90; 95% confidence interval, 2.14-7.66; P < 0.001), indicative of lower physiological strain. An increase in device-reported sleep from a surgeon's baseline resulted in a significant increase in next-day HRV (y-intercept = 50.46; B = 0.64; 95% confidence interval, 0.11-1.17; P = 0.02).

Discussion:

Orthopaedic residents, more than faculty, had physiologic findings suggestive of burnout. Time in the OR and increased sleep improved physiological strain parameters. Real-time biometric measurements can identify those at risk of burnout and in need of well-being interventions.

Authors: Sağar Mehmet Enes
Published: May 2021

This research aims to examine how emotion regulation skills and self-control variables influence teacher candidates’ levels of resilience. The research was conducted based on the relational screening model. The research group consisted of a total of 462 students, 225 (48.7%) boys and 237 (51.3%) girls, studying at Afyon Kocatepe University Faculty of Education in the 2020-2021 academic year. The average age of the research group was 20.23. “Personal Information Form”, “Brief Resilience Scale”, “Emotion Regulation Skills Scale” and “Self-Control Scale” were used as data collection tools in the context of the research. Stepwise regression analysis method from multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data obtained from the research. In the study, it was concluded that emotion regulation skills and self-control significantly predicted teacher candidates’ resilience.
Colored Plastic Mulch Effects on Plant Performance and Disease Suppression in Organically Grown Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum)
Authors: Nyochembeng Leopold M. , Mankolo Regine N.
Published: May 2021

Weeds and diseases are major biological competitors that pose significant threats to organic production of vegetables in southeastern US during the summer. We evaluated plasticulture as an alternative weed and disease management strategy for open field organic production of bell peppers. The objective of the research was to assess the effects of four colored plastic mulches on soil temperature, moisture, fruit yield and suppression of weeds and diseases on bell pepper. Bell pepper cv ‘King Arthur’ was planted on raised soil beds covered with colored (olive green, black, white and silver) mulch treatments including a control (bare soil). The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications. Soil temperature and moisture, disease incidence and severity, and fruit yield were determined. Plant performance (growth and yield) varied with mulch type. The black and olive plastic mulches warmed the soil significantly more than the reflective silver and bare soil. Bell pepper plants across all mulch treatments exhibited susceptibility to bacterial leaf spot (BLS). However, the incidence and severity of BLS varied with mulch type. Plants on reflective silver plastic displayed significant BLS incidence and severity compared to the olive plastic and bare soil. The black, white, and reflective silver plastic mulches significantly increased fruit yields, while the olive mulch and bare soil exhibited poor crop performance. These results suggest that the black and white plastic mulches retain the potential to be used in organic vegetable production in Alabama and the southeastern US.

This review seeks to expand the knowledge about the epidemiology of Asian sybean rust in the state of Mato Grosso and contribute to ensuring the economic sustainability of soybean crop. It is discussed the Phakopsora pachyrhizi potential of dispersal from Asia to South America and finally to Mato Grosso state. The origin of the Asian soybean rust inoculum within Mato Grosso is addressed by the survival in volunteer and soybean weed plants (Pitelli, 2015) in other crops such as cotton. Data on the adverse environmental effect on the soybean plants survival are shown mainly the water deficit from June to August. Reports on the effect air temperature and mainly solar radiation on the mortality of airborne spores during their anemophilous spread on sunny days are also discussed. This increase of knowledge aims to make the soybean-free period more efficient by the knowledge on the soybean plants survival and on the fungus viability in the month of August. Due to the proximity of soybean farms, during the soybean-free period, in other states (Tocantins, Goiás, Rondônia, etc.) and in other neighbor countries we discuss the likelihood that inoculum in the state may also originate in out-of-state crops during the Mato Grosso soybean-free period.

Hoe vangen we zieke uitzendkrachten op?

Is gebruik van het zogenoemde uitzendbeding bij ziekte toelaatbaar? De beantwoording van deze vraag staat centraal in deze bijdrage. Op basis van een analyse van rechtspraak, literatuur, dogmatiek en wetsgeschiedenis komt de auteur tot de conclusie dat dit gebruik in beginsel niet toelaatbaar is. Een uitzondering op deze hoofdregel is aan de orde wanneer het uitzendwerk voorziet in een tijdelijke en dringende personeelsbehoefte. In dat bestaat er volgens de auteur immers een voldoende rechtvaardiging voor uitzonderingen die wringen met fundamentele uitgangspunten van het Nederlandse arbeidsrecht.

Objective. To investigate the statistical measures of the performance of 2 interventions: a) early sepsis identification by a computerized sepsis “sniffer” algorithm (CSSA) in the emergency department (ED) and b) human decision to activate a multidisciplinary early resuscitation sepsis and shock response team (SSRT).

Methods. This study used a prospective and historical cohort study design to evaluate the performance of two interventions.

Intervention. A computerized sepsis sniffer algorithm (CSSA) to aid in early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary sepsis and shock response team (SSRT) to improve patient care by increasing compliance with Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) bundles.

Results. The CSSA yielded a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI, 99.13-100%) and a specificity of 96.2% (95% CI, 95.55-96.45%) to identifying sepsis in the ED (Table 1). The SSRT resource was activated appropriately in 34.1% (86/252) of patients meeting severe sepsis or septic shock criteria; the SSRT was inappropriately activated only three times in sepsis-only patients. In 53% (134/252) of cases meeting criteria for SSRT activation, the critical care team was consulted as opposed to activating the SSRT resource.

Conclusion: Our two-step machine-human interface approach to patients with sepsis utilized an outstandingly sensitive and specific electronic tool followed by more specific human decision-making.

Objective. Confirmation of knowledge of neonatal intertrigo in ancient Greek and Byzantine medicine. Method: A search of Thesaurus Linguae Graecae was conducted with the following terms as key words, “syggama”, “xyggauma”, “paratrimma” and “ektrimma”.

Results: Ancient Greek medico-philosophers introduced therapeutic measures based upon herbs and minerals, while a similar therapeutic approach was also used by the Byzantines. Hippocrates of Kos (460-377) was among the first to introduce written instructions, also proposing preventive treatment with palliative and aromatic herbs. Cataplasms, thalassotherapy, and fumigation were used, combined with hygienic measures in the affected area. Chalk powder was also prescribed to absorb moisture.

Conclusion. The main principles in the treatment of intertrigo remain the same, celebrating the ancient Greeks’methodology and rationalism.

Objectives. The aim of this research was to detect the presence of depressive symptoms among the student population at a Faculty of Medicine, as well to determine the correlation between the socio-demographic characteristics and students’ lifestyle and depressive symptoms.

Subjects and Methods. Of 800 students enrolled and asked to participate, 412 responded to the survey. The study included Students from all 6 years of studies. The degree of depressive symptoms was measured by a 21-item revised form of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). We built bivariate logistic regression models to study whether age, gender, housing accommodation, year of medical training, and school success status (Grade Point Average - GPA) were associated with depressive symptoms. The results are reported as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results. The study revealed that almost one third of students reported BDI >16 (30.1%). The present study did not find any association between BDI scores and study year or age difference, but we found that there was an association between housing accommodation and depressive symptoms. Students who lived with their parents had lower BDI scores than those who lived in a dormitory. The results of this study showed there is a negative correlation between physical activity and depressive symptoms in students, as well as that there is a positive correlation between depressive symptoms and substance abuse.  

Conclusion. Overall, our study confirms that the factors associated with an increase in medical students’ depressive symptoms are housing accommodation, a lack of  physical activity and substance abuse. Regarding failing a year of study at the medical school, as well as gender and age differences, we did not find any significant difference between students with higher compared to those with lower depressive symptoms.
