OBJECTIVE

The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of age and frailty on the surgical outcomes of patients with glioblastoma (GBM) and to assess caregivers’ perceptions regarding postdischarge care and challenges faced in the developing country of India.

METHODS

This was a retrospective study of patients with histopathologically proven GBM from 2009 to 2018. Data regarding the clinical and radiological characteristics as well as surgical outcomes were collected from the institute’s electronic database. Taking Indian demographics into account, the authors used the cutoff age of 60 years to define patients as elderly. Frailty was estimated using the 11-point modified frailty index (mFI-11). Patients were divided into three groups: robust, with an mFI score of 0; moderately frail, with an mFI score of 1 or 2; and severely frail, with an mFI score ≥ 3. A questionnaire-based survey was done to assess caregivers’ perceptions about postdischarge care.

RESULTS

Of the 276 patients, there were 93 (33.7%) elderly patients and 183 (66.3%) young or middle-aged patients. The proportion of severely frail patients was significantly more in the elderly group (38.7%) than in the young or middle-aged group (28.4%) (p < 0.001). The authors performed univariate and multivariate analysis of associations of different short-term outcomes with age, sex, frailty, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. On the multivariate analysis, only frailty was found to be a significant predictor for in-hospital mortality, postoperative complications, and length of hospital and ICU stay (p < 0.001). On Cox regression analysis, the severely frail group was found to have a significantly lower overall survival rate compared with the moderately frail (p = 0.001) and robust groups (p < 0.001). With the increase in frailty, there was a concomitant increase in the requirement for readmissions (p = 0.003), postdischarge specialist care (p = 0.001), and help from extrafamilial sources (p < 0.001). Greater dissatisfaction with psychosocial and financial support among the caregivers of severely frail patients was seen as they found themselves ill-equipped to provide postdischarge care at home (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Frailty is a better predictor of poorer surgical outcomes than chronological age in terms of duration of hospital and ICU stay, postoperative complications, and in-hospital mortality. It also adds to the psychosocial and financial burdens of the caregivers, making postdischarge care challenging.
A population-based study of fall-related traumatic brain injury identified in older adults in hospital emergency departments
Authors: Cusimano Michael D. , Saarela Olli , Hart Kirsten , Zhang Shudong , McFaull Steven R.
Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to examine the population-based trends and factors associated with hospitalization of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) treated in the Emergency Department (ED) among those 65 years and older. The implications of these trends for neurosurgery and the broader society are discussed.

METHOD

With a national, mandatory reporting system of ED visits, the authors used Poisson regression controlling for age and sex to analyze trends in fall-related TBI of those aged 65 years and older between 2002 and 2017.

RESULTS

The overall rate of ED visits for TBI increased by 78%—from 689.51 per 100,000 (95% CI 676.5–702.8) to 1229 per 100,000 (95% CI 1215–1243) between 2002 and 2017. Females consistently experienced higher rates of fall-related TBI than did males. All age groups 65 years and older experienced significant increases in fall-related TBI rate over the study period; however, the highest rates occurred among the oldest individuals (90+ and 85–89 years). The hospital admission rate increased with age and Charlson Comorbidity Index. Males experienced both a higher admission rate and a greater percentage change in admission rate than females.

CONCLUSIONS

Rates of ED visits for fall-related TBI, hospitalization, and in-ED mortality in those aged 65 years and older are increasing for both sexes. The increasing hospital admission rate is related to more advanced comorbidities, male sex, and increasing age. These findings have significant implications for neurosurgical resources; they emphasize that health professionals should work proactively with patients, families, and caregivers to clarify goals of care, and they also outline the need for more high-level and, preferably, randomized evidence to support outcomes-based decisions. Additionally, the findings highlight the urgent need for improved population-based measures for prevention in not only this age demographic but in younger ones, and the need for changes in the planning of health service delivery and long-term care.
Riesgos relacionados con el uso de pesticidas: prácticas, percepciones y consecuencias sanitarias en los páramos colombianos y venezolanos
Authors: Leroy David
Published: October 2020

Esta investigación evalúa las prácticas y las percepciones relacionadas con el uso de pesticidas, así como su riesgo y consecuencias sanitarias, en los páramos colombianos y venezolanos. La metodología se basa en un trabajo etnográfico con 128 agricultores y 42 actores externos. Los resultados muestran que: 1) los agricultores perciben e interpretan los riesgos relacionados con el uso de pesticidas, pero tienden a negarlos porque es la única alternativa con la que disponen para continuar su trabajo, 2) hay numerosos obstáculos para cambiar las prácticas, en particular los vinculados a situaciones de bloqueo sociotécnico y a una débil presencia del Estado y de los actores no gubernamentales de ambos países. Finalmente, este artículo invita a pensar que el estudio de las percepciones de los riesgos relacionados con el uso de pesticidas resulta útil para diseñar e implementar estrategias de sensibilización sobre esta problemática, adaptadas al contexto de cada comunidad.

Authors: Ahmed Iman Emad , Al-Jaberi Hayder Kareem , Jawad Alkahlissi Mohammed M.
Published: October 2020

Background: The prevalence of spinal cord lesions is high in multiple sclerosis particularly in the cervical cord, and their detection can assist in both the diagnosis and follow-up of the patients. For spinal multiple sclerosis, MRI is considered the first line investigation.
Objective: To evaluate the value of sagittal 1.5 Tesla proton density-fast spin echo (PD-FSE) MRI in the detecting and increasing conspicuity of multiple sclerosis lesions in cervical cord in comparison with sagittal T2 fast spin-echo (T2-FSE) MRI.
Patients and Methods: A cross sectional study carried out from 3rd of January 2017 to 1st of January 2018 in the MRI department of Al-Imamein Al-Kadhimein Medical City, and included 60 selected patients with a known diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. All patients were examined with 1.5 T sagittal PD-FSE, T2-FSE and axial gradient recalled-echo (GRE) MRI.
Results: Sixty patients with cervical multiple sclerosis were enrolled in the study, 146 (100%) lesions were detected by PD-FSE imaging, while T2 detected 105 (71.9%), 41 more lesions (28%) were detected by PD-FSE imaging, (P-value <0.001). All extra lesions were confirmed on axial imaging. In 13 patients (21.6%) one lesion or more had been detected on sagittal PD-FSE imaging while on sagittal T2-FSE imaging, no lesion were detected. On PD-FSE imaging, 17 long lesions were detected in 16 patients (26.7%) while 7 long lesions in 7 patients (11.7%) were detected by T2-FSE imaging. So, in 9 patients (16.7%) 10 lesions were detected as long in PD-FSE while short lesion in T2– FSE, the detection of long lesions by PD-FSE was significantly higher than in T2– FSE (100% vs 71.9% with p- value of 0.002). The mean lesion contrast to cord ratio was significantly higher in PD-FSE as compared to T2-FSE (PD-FSE, 79±2.0, against T2-FSE, 61± 2.6; P-value <0.001).
Conclusion: Sagittal proton density was more efficient and more accurate in the detection of cervical cord lesions than sagittal T2-FSE sequence, when used in conjunction with sagittal T2-FSE; it can raise the diagnostic assurance via improving the visualization of the lesions.

The question of structural changes in the territorial location of milk production in the Leningrad Region
Authors: Nikonova Natal'ya
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Modern features of the territorial structure of milk production in a separate region are considered. The purpose of the study was to analyze the dynamics of dairy cattle breeding in the Leningrad region in the territorial aspect for 2008–2018. The main method of research was economic and statistical analysis of data and their comparative evaluation. Results. The specificity of quantitative and qualitative changes in milk production by category of farms has been revealed. In the context of municipal districts of the Leningrad region, they were grouped depending on the growth rate (decrease) in the volume of milk produced in farms of all categories in 2018 compared to 2008. Adverse trends in the development of dairy cattle breeding in agricultural organizations of the region were noted, as their share in milk production decreased in 13 municipal districts of the Leningrad region. Changes in the volume of state support for the dairy cattle industry in the region in the territorial aspect for the specified period were determined. It is revealed that, despite the subsidies in milk production, increased its intra-regional localization. As a result, in 2018, more than 50 % of the volume of regional milk production was provided by only 4 districts of the Leningrad region. In the remaining 13 districts, there are no prerequisites for employment and rural development, and the reduction in milk production in rural areas has reached 48.3 %. The necessary measures are proposed to smooth out the territorial unevenness in milk production as a condition for overcoming the depressiveness of rural development. The scientific novelty of the study is to assess the nature of the emerging territorial features of the placement of milk production in the Leningrad region and its intraregional differentiation.

Stinging and Venomous Caterpillars of the Southeast
Authors: Perry Rebecca , Dale Adam G.
Published: October 2020

Wasp and bee stings are familiar to most people, but some might be surprised to learn that several caterpillars can also sting. This painful experience results from coming into contact with, or handling, a stinging caterpillar. Unlike wasps and bees with stingers, these caterpillars have urticating hairs, which are barbed and easily break off the caterpillar’s body, causing sudden or gradually building pain. Caterpillars urticate these spines upon contact with skin or when they feel threatened. The severity of a sting varies based on the person and number of spines embedded in the skin. Many stinging caterpillars also release a toxin on contact, which may be of health concern. The caterpillars discussed in this document are found throughout the southeastern U.S.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in014

STUDY OF MATERNAL AND FETAL OUTCOME OF GRAND MULTIPARA.
Authors: Hadiya Payal Anandbhai , Parmar Dipti. C.
Published: October 2020

Background: Pregnancies in grand multipara have been considered risky for many decades as there are higher chances of complications during pregnancy, labour and puerperium in these women. This study aims to find out various maternal and fetal complications associated with grand multiparty during pregnancy and labour.

Methods: A descriptive observational study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology of Sir T General hospital and Government medical college and hospital, Bhavnagar, Gujarat, from May 2019 till April 2020. It includes 185 cases of grand multipara women. All the women who delivered had four or more previous viable pregnancies were included in the study.

Results: In the total 185 cases that were included in the study, the common medical illnesses found in grand multipara were anemia (25.40%), preeclampsia/ eclampsia (4.86%) and gestational diabetics mellitus (1.86%). Other complications observed were   malpresentations (2.70). Caesarian section was required in 16.21% of the cases. In perinatal outcomes, 9.72% births were still birth. 34.59% babies were of low birth weight.

Conclusion: Grand multiparity remains a risk in pregnancy and is associated with an increased prevalence of maternal and neonatal complications but it might be unjustifiable to attribute all risk to parity alone, risk assessment should be based on age, past obstetric and medical history.

Keywords: Grand Multipara, Maternal outcome, fetal outcome
A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF FETOMATERNAL OUTCOME IN ECLAMPSIA
Authors: Chalaliya Shital M , Parmar Dipti C.
Published: October 2020

In India the perinatal and maternal outcome in eclampsia cases is still poor due to inadequate antenatal care in rural areas, financial restraints and non-availability of transportation facilities, and social taboos causing delay in management resulting in poor maternal and neonatal outcome. Aim of the study was to evaluate fetomaternal outcome in patients with eclampsia. This retrospective study was conducted over a period  of 2 years from  May  2018 to  April 2020  at department of obstetrics and gynaecology of Government  medical college and Sir T General hospital,  Bhavnagar , Gujarat , India. During the review period total 50 cases of eclampsia reported.Incidence in our study is 0.43%.Results showed 86 % of eclampsia patients were of age less than 25 years. 82% of patients had antepartum eclampsia , 14 % had postpartum eclampsia and 4% had intrapartum  eclampsia . 90% patients had 1 episodes of convulsion. 8% patients had 2 episodes of convulsions.2% pateint had 5 episode of convulsion. Out of 50 patients 36 patients were delivered by C-section and 14 patients by vaginal delivery.1 patient had twin pregnancy.Out of 51 newborn, 5 were stillbirth and 1 early neonatal death.Maternal mortility was 2 % .Eclampsia is still one of the important and common obstetric emergencies, which has a significant role in maternal and perinatal outcome. Regular Antenatal Care (ANC), proper health education, improvements of socioeconomic conditions and spreading of awareness in the community has major roles in prevention of eclampsia. Timely and appropriate intervention including primary management, early referral and judicious termination of pregnancy help in reducing morbidity and mortality of both mother and fetus.

Good and bad are antonyms words, which are used to judge or measure a state or thing and human actions. Values ​​based on these measures are qualitative and global, so that they become areas of ethical study. Likewise in Islam these two terms become one of the central discussions in Islam, so that in the Koran many identical terms are often used, for example khoir and hasan, al-toyyib, while the bad terms use al-qubh and al-syar , al-sa and al-khobits, and among Muslim theologians, the terms good and bad are also one of the topics of his study, such as Mu'tazilah and Ash'ariah.

The concepts of good and bad in Ash'ariah theology, and Mu'tazilah have similarities and differences. The similarity is that the two schools agree that what is said to be good is what gives rise to good in the world, and in the hereafter, while the difference is in terms of the source of goodness. The Ash'ariah School, argues that the source of goodness is revelation from God, because only God is the only one who knows the effect of goodness, whereas according to the Mu'tazilah, the source of goodness is not only revelation, but also reason, because reason is a human resource that very large which gives instructions. Thus, good and bad in Islamic theology are very clear, because they come from revelation, but reason also becomes one of the sources when it does not conflict with revelation.
