Context: Chronic airway inflammation in asthma is affected by a complex network of interacting cytokines. The exact role of each cytokine in childhood asthma development has remained poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to review articles investigating cytokine levels and polymorphisms in childhood asthma among the Iranian population to assess susceptible cytokines related to childhood asthma. Evidence Acquisition: We performed a literature search in PubMed, Scopus, Science direct, and Embase databases to find articles that have evaluated the cytokine levels and gene polymorphisms in childhood asthma among the Iranian population until March 2, 2020. The terms used to search included “cytokine”, “interleukin”, “polymorphism”, “Asthma”, and “Iran” in the international databases. Only case-control studies with a healthy control group that investigated cytokine levels and polymorphism in childhood asthma among the Iranian population have been included. Results: Considering these criteria, we extracted 7 articles from international databases and included them in the current review. We investigated 4 cytokine levels and 4 cytokine polymorphism patterns in asthmatic and non-asthmatic subjects in Iran. Interleukin (IL)-23, IL-17, and IL-33 levels were statistically higher in asthmatic children, and also IL-33, IL-17 levels were associated with asthma severity. There were no significant differences between healthy and asthmatic subjects regarding IL-35 levels. Polymorphisms in cytokine IL-4, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-2 were susceptible to childhood asthma in the Iranian population. Conclusions: Increased IL-33 and IL-17 levels were related to disease severity in childhood asthma. Four cytokine polymorphisms (IL-4, IL-10, IL-2, and TNF-α) were associated with the risk of pediatric asthma in the Iranian population.

Background: Lunate morphology has been associated with several wrist pathologies. In this study, we aimed to find how lunate morphology (absence or presence of hamate facet) affects the severity of Kienböck disease. Objectives: Evaluation of the relationship between lunate morphology and kienbocks disease. Methods: A total of 106 patients with stage IIIA or IIIB of Kienböck disease at initial presentation were included in this study. Modified Litchman classification system and standardized lateral radiographs were used for staging the Kienböck disease. Lunate morphology was investigated on plain radiograph and computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging and was classified into type I (absence of hamate facet) and type II (presence of hamate facet). Results: The mean±SD age of the patients was 33.5±9.2 years. Kienböck disease stage IIIA and IIIB were identified in 68 (64.2%) and 38 (35.8%), respectively. Hamate facet was present in 65 (61.3%) patients and absent 41 (38.7%) patients. A significant association was found between lunate morphology and stage of disease so that the number of patients with lunate type I was significantly more in stage IIIB and number of patients with lunate type II was significantly more in stage IIIA (p<0.001). Conclusion: Lunate morphology is associated with the severity of Kienböck disease in patients initially presented with stage IIIA or IIIB. These associations could be implicated to prevent disease progression as well as to optimize the outcome of treatment.

Background: Aneurysmal Bone Cysts (ABCs) are benign destructive tumors. Their diagnosis is sometimes challenging, and their treatment in unusual sites, especially in the pediatric age group is difficult, too. This study aims to support the paraclinical measures along proper consultation to approach the pelvic ABC. Methods: We present a 9-year-old female who suffered from pain in the left hip 3 months before the referral. A pelvic mass was diagnosed and unfortunately misdiagnosed with an ovarian mass. It was led to a wrong operation with a wrong approach by a general surgeon and result in intra-operative bleeding and delay in diagnosis and treatment. the final diagnosis was massive ABC in the supra-acetabular area with extension to the ilium and pubic. Conclusion: Pelvis is one of the most challenging sites for the diagnosis and treatment of bone tumors. Large ABC tumors in the hip are unusual and may be presented by non-specific signs and symptoms. Therefore complete clinical and radiological evaluations should be done before any attempt to surgically remove the pelvic mass. Prognosis is excellent if the pelvic mass remove wisely by an experienced hip surgeon

Background: Vascular thromboembolism is one of the major concerns of orthopedic surgeons after hip or knee replacement surgery. Although many thromboprophylactic drugs have been introduced, there is still no consensus over their efficacy and safety. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of oral rivaroxaban and aspirin administration and enoxaparin injections in patients undergoing knee or hip replacement. Objectives: Determination and comparison of the side effect and efficacy of Rivaroxaban and Enoxaparin after total hip or knee arthroplasty. Methods: A total of 231 patients undergoing knee or hip replacement surgery were included in the study. Of them, 31 patients were excluded due to missing the follow-up. Of the remaining 200 patients, 42 low-risk and 158 moderate- to high-risk patients were identified, according to Caprini risk assessment model. Then, they were divided into three groups: aspirin (42 patients), enoxaparin (78 patients), and rivaroxaban (80 patients). Severe hemorrhage (hemoglobin reduction of more than 2 g/dL or requiring blood transfusion) was assessed after the first dose of medication until discharge through daily hemoglobin testing. Frequency of other side effects such as wound complications (ecchymosis, hematoma, and wound infection) and gastrointestinal or skin problems was recorded and compared by daily examination during the hospital stay and then in the future visits to the clinic up to 6 months in each group. Follow up visits were performed at weeks 6, 12, and 24. Results: No cases of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary thromboembolism were observed in any of the study groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the number of major bleeding cases (P=0.39). Ecchymosis around the wound was significantly higher in the rivaroxaban group than in the enoxaparin group (33.8% vs. 23%). However, this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.06). Conclusion: The efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin drugs are comparable. Although ecchymosis was seen after using rivaroxaban rather than enoxaparin, rivaroxaban is orally administered and costs less for the patient and the health system. So, its use as a thromboprophylactic drug of choice following hip and knee arthroplasty surgery is still recommended.

Background: Patients with idiopathic scoliosis are exposed to repetitive x-ray for angle measurement. Therefore, the discovery or development of alternative techniques with less radiation has continuously been a major concern. Objectives: In this study, we compared the Cobb angles on supine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with those on standing plain radiographs to figure out how precisely the supine MRI can show the real curve. Consequently, the need for certain exposures throughout the management of idiopathic scoliosis might be eliminated. Methods: A total of 103 patients with idiopathic scoliosis were included in this prospective study. The standing radiographs and supine MRI were obtained with less than a 1-month time lag. One senior author assessed Cobb angles of the major curves were on both standing radiographs and MR images. All the eligible patients had already signed the consent for diagnostic imaging, including MRI. The individuals, who were not requested for x-ray and MRI, were excluded from this study. Results: The Mean±SD Cobb angle was 55.5±11.2°‎‏ on the standing plain radiographs and 44.5±10°‎‏ on MR images (P<0.001). The Mean±SD difference between the Cobb angles on the standing plain radiographs and MR images was 11±1.4°‎‏. A significant positive correlation was found between the Cobb angles calculated on plain radiographs and MRI (r=0.996, P<0.001). Accordingly, Cobb angles on MRI could be converted to Cobb angles on plain radiographs under the formula of MRI=0.9* XRAY-5.31 (absolute error of 5.31°‎‏). Conclusion: Cobb angles on supine MRI correlates with measured ones on standing radiographs with an acceptable range of error and could be used as a valuable alternative for radiographic Cobb angle measurement.

Published: January 2021

Background: The use of mini C-arm is required in many orthopedic surgeries as an image-guided tool. Studies have shown an unnecessarily high dose to patients if exposures are not properly optimized. Also, scatter radiation to personnel may increase the risk of cancer if an appropriate protective device is not used.  Objectives: This study aims to determine the patient’s dose and scatter radiation to the surgeon, anesthetist, and scrub nurse. Also, a comparison will be made with other studies on this topic.  Methods: A phantom was designed to simulate a patient on the operating table to produce scatter radiation. In the same vein, a mobile mini C-arm unit was positioned with the x-ray tube beneath the head and the image receptor above the operating table. Measurements were made with a measuring tape from the central axis to the position of the surgeon, anesthetist, and scrub nurse. The Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) was determined by placing the electronic dosimeter at the surface of the phantom to estimate the patient dose. Similarly, each personnel dose/dose rate from the central axis was determined using a similar detector.  Results: The total average time for most orthopedic surgeries in the studied facility was 3.3 minutes. The estimated ESD to the patient was 25.03 µSv and the scatter radiation per patient reaching the simulated anesthetist, scrub nurse, and surgeon was, 3.75, 3.59, and 7.72 µSv, respectively. The estimated dose values per year to anesthetist, scrub nurse, and surgeon were 390, 373.36, and 802 µSv, respectively.  Conclusion: The personnel recommended limit dose rate was <20000 µSv/y. The technical factor used and total exposure time from this study could have affected the radiation dose. This study showed that personnel was safe even without the use of lead apron. Nevertheless, the use of an appropriate protective device should be encouraged to ensure safety.
O Líder de Enfermagem em Unidades Oncológicas: Intervenções da Subjetividade na Organização de Espaços Saudáveis de Trabalho
Authors: Barranco Elaine , Moreira Marléa Chagas , Menezes Maria de Fátima Batalha de
Published: January 2021

A prática de enfermagem em oncologia coloca os profissionais em contato estreito com situações de dor, finitude e morte, além de mutilações, desesperança e expectativas de cura da doença. A agressividade terapêutica e os ajustes necessários ao processo de tratamento constituem-se em elementos geradores de estresse para os pacientes, familiares e equipe. É nesse cenário em que os líderes de enfermagem em oncologia desenvolvem sua prática e onde se efetuam as relações de trabalho da equipe. Este estudo objetiva discutir a interface da liderança de enfermagem com a subjetividade e sua intervenção na organização de espaços saudáveis de trabalho em unidades oncológicas. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de abordagem qualitativa. Para fundamentação teórica, foram adotadas as diretrizes da Política Nacional de Humanização. Doze enfermeiros líderes, atuantes em instituição pública federal de referência em oncologia, participaram da pesquisa. Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizada a técnica de grupo focal. A análise de conteúdo evidenciou a categoria analítica: o líder de enfermagem em unidades oncológicas – intervenções da subjetividade na organização de espaços saudáveis de trabalho –, além de outras duas categorias. Os resultados indicam que existe a necessidade de uma prática gerencial humanizada a fim de favorecer um ambiente mais saudável para a atuação da equipe de enfermagem. Conclui-se que os enfermeiros líderes podem atuar como facilitadores de relações de trabalho humanizadas, desde que consigam adotar estratégias que fomentem a autonomia, o protagonismo e a corresponsabilidade dos sujeitos implicados no processo de produção de saúde por meio da construção de novos espaços de encontros.

Published: January 2021

Este trabalho, produto de reflexões decorrentes da dissertação de mestrado de uma das autoras, tem como objetivo mostrar a compreensão do conhecimento e da prática dos cuidados com o membro homolateral em mulheres submetidas à biópsia do linfonodo sentinela. O trabalho demonstra também que a atuação fisioterapêutica no pós-operatório de câncer de mama vai além dos aspectos físicos, abrangendo também questões educativas. Essa abrangência minimiza as limitações e mudanças nas atividades da vida das pacientes por meio da prática de orientações individualizadas e de acordo com suas características pessoais. Para tal, foram utilizadas dez entrevistas sobre as práticas de autocuidado com o braço do lado da cirurgia para prevenção de linfedema em mulheres portadoras de câncer de mama e submetidas à técnica da biópsia do linfonodo sentinela. Este grupo específico de pacientes foi escolhido para verificar a ocorrência de alterações nas atividades de suas vidas diárias. Ao final do trabalho, ressaltou-se a importância da existência de um manual com orientações sobre a biópsia do linfonodo sentinela. O manual deve ser elaborado e utilizado multidisciplinarmente, determinando as informações mais relevantes sobre cada área de atuação profissional, especialmente em relação às práticas de autocuidado pertinentes à prevenção de linfedema.

Authors: Nunes Maria da Glória dos Santos , Rodrigues Benedita Maria Rêgo Deusdará
Published: January 2021

A abordagem paliativa exige da equipe de saúde interação através de ações interdisciplinares não apenas para a realização dos procedimentos terapêuticos mas, sobretudo, para orientar adequadamente o familiar quanto aos cuidados que devem ser prestados as pessoas que se encontram com doença avançada e promover sua adesão terapêutica. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo, realizado no Instituto Nacional de Câncer, na Unidade de Cuidados Paliativos, cujo objetivo foi compreender a perspectiva de cuidar do familiar de pessoa em tratamento paliativo em oncologia. Como referencial teórico metodológico, utilizou-se a fenomenologia sociológica de Alfred Schutz, que tem como enfoque o significado da ação. A apreensão das falas deu-se por meio da entrevista fenomenológica utilizando como questão orientadora: como você está vivendo a experiência de cuidar de seu familiar em tratamento paliativo em oncologia? Os sujeitos participantes foram 20 familiares de pacientes em tratamento paliativo. O familiar de pessoa em tratamento paliativo em oncologia se mostrou como aquele que ajuda, estando junto, não abandonando, dando apoio e representando a família, na perspectiva de enfrentar as dificuldades diante do tratamento paliativo em oncologia e tentar entender a abordagem paliativa que tem como foco reduzir a dor, superando o rótulo de terminal. Oferecer uma forma de compreender o cuidado desse familiar, situado no mundo institucional, possibilitando  apreender o vivido e os significados que alicerçam esta prática, conduz a um comportamento, ações e relações; ou seja, um modo de pensar que orienta o indivíduo em seu cotidiano para ser e estar com o outro  nessa fase da vida.

Published: January 2021

The aim of this study was to analyze how sociodemographic variables explain the levels of engagement and workaholism in the work of intensivist nursing professionals. An exploratory study with quantitative approach to the data was adopted as a method, conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of nursing professionals working in adult intensive care services in public and private hospitals in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Descriptive analyses of the participants and Pearson correlations were performed between the variables explored through the Software Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 19.0. The results showed that the sociodemographic variables were weakly related or even not related to engagement and workaholism. It was concluded that the weekly workload was positively related to the levels of remuneration of the participants, and this with their schooling. It was also observed that the levels of education of intensivist nursing professionals did not establish a statistically significant relationship with the participants’ engagement indexes.

Kamu Borç Yönetiminde Etkinliğin Ülkelerin Makroekonomik Performansına Etkisi: OECD Ülkeleri Örneği
Authors: KÖSTEKÇİ Ahmet , YILDIZ Fazlı
Published: January 2021

Küreselleşme sonrası sermaye hareketlerinin serbestleşmesi, kamu borç portföyünün risklere karşı duyarlılığını arttırarak makroekonomik denge üzerinde bir risk oluşturmuştur. Ekonomik ve finansal istikrarsızlıkları tetikleyen böylesi bir yapı, kamu borç yönetiminde daha profesyonel ve etkin bir yaklaşım sergileme çabalarını teşvik etmiştir. Kamu borç yönetiminde etkinlik, kamunun finansman ihtiyacını düşük maliyet ve kontrol edilebilir risk düzeyinde karşılamak amacıyla oluşturulan strateji geliştirme ve yürütme sürecidir. Etkinlikten uzak ve yasal bir çerçeveye oturtulmayan borç yönetimi politikalarının varlığı kamu maliyesi üzerinde baskı yaratırken, artan borçlanma eğilimi ise makroekonomik dengede bozulmalara yol açmaktadır. Buradan hareketle çalışmada, 35 OECD ülkesi için 1995-2017 dönemi esas alınarak kamu borç yönetiminde etkinliğin makroekonomik performansa etkisi panel veri analizi ile incelenmiştir. Ampirik analiz sonuçlarına göre kamu borç yükündeki artışın ekonomik büyümeyi negatif etkilediği, işsizlik, enflasyon ve bütçe açığını artırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Ekonomik büyüme üzerinde pozitif bir etki yaratan borç faiz ödemelerindeki artış, enflasyonu düşürücü yönde bir baskı yaratırken işsizlik oranı ve bütçe açığını artırmıştır. Çalışmada, kısa vadeli faiz oranlarındaki artışın, enflasyon ile bütçe açığını arttırdığı, ekonomik büyümeyi negatif etkilediği ve işsizliği düşürdüğü sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca Dumitrescu-Hurlin (2012) panel Granger nedensellik testi sonuçları, değişkenler arasında nedensellik ilişkilerinin varlığını göstermiştir.

Authors: Maharjan Ruby , Wang Jin Wen , Shrestha Indra Kumar
Published: January 2021

Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 expressed on B cells, originally used to treat lymphoma but is increasingly used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Membranous nephropathy is an autoimmune disease resulting from the deposition of IgG and complements components onto the subepithelial layer of the glomerular capillary wall and remains the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Several prospective and retrospective studies showed rituximab induces remission and may decrease proteinuria in patients with membranous nephropathy. Considerable evidence supports the use of B-cell depletion as initial therapy in nephrotic patients with membranous nephropathy. This review focuses on the efficacy and safety of rituximab in the treatment of membranous nephropathy.Keywords: Membranous nephropathy; rituximab; treatment

Published: January 2021

Many quaternion numbers associated with Fibonacci and Lucas numbers or even their generalizations have been defined and widely discussed so far. In all the studies, the coefficients of these quaternions have been selected from consecutive terms of these numbers. In this study, we define other generalizations for the usual Fibonacci and Lucas quaternions. We also present some properties, including the Binet's formulas and d'Ocagne's identities, for these types of quaternions.﻿

Essential oils are an important natural source of pesticides and can be suitable used in ectoparasite control. The goal of this paper was to investigate the chemical composition of the volatile oils obtained from leaves and stems of Philodendron meridionale Buturi & Sakur by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and to evaluate their insecticidal effect against Ctenocephalides felis Bouché adult insects and their cytotoxicity on human Jurkat leukemic T-cells by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyltetrazoluim bromide (MTT) reduction method. The main compound was ent-kaur-16-ene at concentrations of 20.78 and 22.46% for volatile oils from leaves and stems, respectively. These volatile oils provided insecticidal effect against C. felis with an average knockdown time of 9.61 and 7.35 min for fumigant test performed with the leaves and stems samples, respectively. Considering the topical application, these P. meridionale volatile oils extracted from leaves and stems demonstrated average knockdown values of 14.70 and 20.0 min, respectively. A very low cytotoxic effect of 9.48 and 11.32% was observed for P. meridionale volatile oils from leaves and stems even at the highest tested concentration of 400 μg.mL-1, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to propose a biological selectivity to the volatile oils under study, which guarantees, at the same time, effect against this insect with no evident damage to human biological system.

A curetagem uterina é um dos procedimentos mais realizados na rede pública de saúde, principalmente no pós-abortamento, para a extração do produto conceptual deixado na cavidade uterina. Para tanto, buscou-se neste artigo analisar o quantitativo e o total de dias de permanência hospitalar das mulheres que se submeteram à curetagem uterina após abortamento no Sistema Único de Saúde. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico de natureza básica, retrospectivo com abordagem quantitativa de caráter descritivo, realizado por meio de consulta ao Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Foram observados os números de abortos e curetagens no pós-abortamento entre 2017 a 2019 nos municípios do Estado de Sergipe. Os dados obtidos foram reorganizados e analisados por meio do programa Excel versão 2010, apresentados em tabelas com números absolutos e porcentagens. Após análise dos dados, notou-se que nos anos de 2017, 2018 e 2019, houve um total de 7.941 casos de curetagem uterina realizadas nas regiões de Sergipe. Desses, 3.196 mulheres sofreram aborto espontâneo e, realizaram esse procedimento, tendo um total de 12.362 dias de permanência hospitalar, resultando gasto médio de R$684,75. Desse modo, a curetagem uterina é a terapêutica mais utilizada em casos de abortos no ambiente hospitalar. Por ser um procedimento cirúrgico, necessita de maior tempo de internação, implicando nos altos custos para a saúde pública.
