Implementation of the CHIldren with acute COugh (CHICO) intervention to improve antibiotics management: a qualitative study in primary care
Authors: Clement Clare , Ingram Jenny , Cabral Christie , Blair Peter S , Hay Alastair D , Seume Penny , Horwood Jeremy
Published: January 2024

Background

Childhood respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are common and can lead to unnecessary antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. The CHIldren with COugh (CHICO) intervention incorporates a clinician-focused algorithm (STARWAVe) to predict future hospitalisation risk, elicitation of carer concerns, and a carer-focused personalised leaflet recording treatment decisions and safety-netting information.

Aim

To examine the implementation of the CHICO intervention by primary care clinicians.

Design and setting

A qualitative study with primary care clinicians in England taking part in the CHICO randomised controlled trial.

Method

Interviews explored the CHICO intervention’s acceptability and use. Clinicians from a range of practices with high and low antibiotic dispensing rates were recruited. Normalisation process theory underpinned data collection and thematic analysis.

Results

Most clinicians liked the intervention because it was quick and easy to use, it helped elicit carer concerns, and reassured clinicians and carers of the appropriateness of treatment decisions. However, clinicians used it as a supportive aid for treatment decisions rather than as a tool for behaviour change. The accompanying advice leaflet helped explain treatment decisions and support self-care. The intervention did not always align with clinicians’ usual processes, which could affect use. Increased familiarisation with the algorithm led to reduced intervention use, which was further reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of changes to practice and remote consultations.

Conclusion

Clinicians found the CHICO intervention useful to support decision making around antibiotic prescribing and it helped discussions with carers about concerns and treatment decisions. The intervention may need to be adapted to align more with clinicians’ consultation flow and remote consultations.
Trends in full-time working in general practice: a repeated cross-sectional study
Authors: Hutchinson Joseph , Gibson Jon , Kontopantelis Evangelos , Checkland Kath , Spooner Sharon , Parisi Rosa , Sutton Matt
Published: January 2024

Background

There is little evidence and no agreement on what constitutes full-time working for GPs. This is essential for workforce planning, resource allocation, and accurately describing GP activity.

Aim

To clarify the definition of full-time working for GPs, how this has changed over time, and whether these changes are explained by GP demographics.

Design and setting

Data were obtained from repeated cross-sectional national surveys for GPs, which were conducted between 2010 and 2021.

Method

A comparison was undertaken of three measures of working time commitments (hours and sessions per week and hours per session) plus a measure of workload intensity across survey years. Multiple regression was used to adjust the changes over time for age, sex, ethnicity, contract type, area deprivation, and rurality. Unadjusted hours and sessions per week were compared with definitions of full-time working.

Results

Average hours and sessions per week reduced from 40.5 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 38.5 to 42.5) to 38.0 (95% CI = 36.3 to 39.6) and 7.3 (95% CI = 7.2 to 7.3) to 6.2 (95% CI = 6.2 to 6.3) between 2010 and 2021, respectively. In 2021, 54.6% of GPs worked at least 37.5 hours per week and 9.5% worked at least nine sessions. Hours per session increased from 5.7 (95% CI = 5.7 to 5.7) to 6.2 (95% CI = 6.2 to 6.3) between 2010 and 2021. Partners worked more hours, sessions, and hours per session. Adjustments expanded the increase in hours per session from 0.54 to 0.61.

Conclusion

At the current average duration of sessions, six sessions per week aligns with the NHS definition of full-time hours. However, hours per week is a more consistent way to define full-time work for GPs.

Ukrainian vocal paradigm of Boleslav Yavorsky
Authors: Antonyuk Valentina , Kalashnyk Mariya , Stakhevych Oleksandr , Rudenko Oleksandr , Lihus Valentyn
Published: January 2024

The paradigmatic approach in the study of vocal phenomena art offers new approaches and produces non-traditional standards of scientific thinking, making significant corrections to the general scientific picture of the world. This is precisely what is connected with the growth of scientific interest in the multidimensional personality phenomenon of music theorist, composer, pianist-concertmaster Boleslav Yavorsky (1877–1942) and his influence on the formation of the vocal paradigm of music education in Ukraine. Historical musicology, exploring different areas of artistic life, has lost track of an important topic such as the concertmaster activity of pianistscomposers who traditionally accompanied the performance of not only their but also other’s compositions, resulting in the unique creative act when one author was becoming the interpreter of other master’s compositions – his predecessor or contemporary. In the cognition of music history, such artistic events are of notable significance, as they reflect not just the performing evolution but also the process of creative reframing of the musical material. The main benefits of Yavorsky’s theory consist in analyzing the structure of mode formation and the internal modal organization of musical composition and musical-historical processes as well as drawing analogies in the development of various kinds of arts.

Published: January 2024

In this study, a bulk fin-type FET (FinFET)-based capacitorless one-transistor dynamic random-access memory (1T-DRAM) was proposed. The fabrication process of the proposed 1T-DRAM was similar to that of a typical junctionless bulk FinFETs, except that the p-type doped body fin region operated as a charge storage region. The effects of the geometrical variations, such as the fin angle (θ
fin) variation and line edge roughness (LER), which are inevitable in fabrication, on the transfer characteristics and memory performance of the proposed 1T-DRAM were studied. θ
fin was varied from 90° to 80°, and 200 samples with the LER were analyzed. Results revealed that the transfer characteristics and memory performance were affected by geometrical variations. However, the proposed 1T-DRAM exhibited an excellent retention time in all cases because the charge storage region was separated from the region of operation.

Authors: Rachana Rachana , Poonam Kumari , Diwedi Om Prakash
Published: January 2024

Introduction- Lymphadenopathy is a relatively common problem in patients of all age groups. It may be caused by a relatively benign condition
like reactive hyperplasia to very aggressive malignancy like non Hodgkin lymphoma. We conducted this study to evaluate the causes of
lymphadenopathy in different age groups Materials and methods -This study was conducted over a period of one year duration (from Jan 2019 to
Dec 2019) in the department of Pathology, Nalanda Medical College, Patna. Relevant history was taken and clinical examination was done for
every patient. After taking consent Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was done. Other relevant blood and radiological tests were also done.
Results- Out of total 650 cases with adequate samples there were 355 (54.6%) males and 295 (45.4%) females with male to female ratio 1.2: 1. Age
of patients ranged from 1 year to 88 years. Maximum numbers of patients were in 16-40 years age group (36.6%). The most common site of
lymphadenopathy was cervical region affecting 446 (68.6%) patients. Overall benign lesions were the cause of lymphadenopathy in more than
85% of patients whereas malignant lesions were seen in 14.8% of patients. Most common cytological diagnosis of lymphadenopathy was reactive
hyperplasia affecting 369 (56.8%) patients. Most common cause of malignant lymphadenopathy was metastatic lesions affecting 60 (9.2%) cases.
Conclusion- FNAC is the rst test for evaluation of lymphadenopathy due to its non-invasive nature and rapid results. It can effectively
differentiate benign and malignant lesions.

Authors: Prasanth S. P. , Bajjuri Avinash , Sri Prabhav Batthina , Yadav Anna Mohan
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Several treatment alternatives are accessible for individuals with an intraarticular distal radius fracture; however, in instances of
comminuted fractures, the choices typically converge to either a volar locking plate, an external xator, or a combination of the two. A study was
undertaken to investigate fracture healing and functional outcomes in distal radius fractures treated with external xation and plating. In Methods:
this prospective study adult patients aged between 20- and 60-years with comminuted fracture wrist were recruited for the study. After preoperative
by clinical and roentgenographic examination, they were randomly selected for external xator or plating. Postoperatively, participants were
evaluated for the clinical outcomes according to modied clinical system of Green and O'Brien 1978 and DASH score. Standard care was provided
for both the groups. The follow-up ranged from 3 to 24 months. Functional outcome results was Results: mostly excellent (20%) to good (46.7%).
Both the groups showed a similar outcome (p>0.05). However, the mean DASH score was signicantly lower in the volar plate group than the
external xation group (mean difference 9.0, 95% CI: 4.5 to 13.6, p<0.001). The mean healing duration was 5.8 weeks (SD 1.3 weeks) for external
xation and 5.5 weeks (SD 1.2 weeks) for ORIF, with a non-signicant difference (mean difference 0.3; 95% CI: -1.2 to 0.6). External Conclusion:
xation versus volar plating in the treatment of comminuted fracture of wrist indicates that volar plating emerges as a superior method,
demonstrating lower DASH scores, and decreased infection rates.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EFFICACY OF TAMSULOSIN PLUS NIFEDIPINE VERSUS TAMSULOSIN PLUS TADALAFILAS MEDICAL EXPULSIVE THERAPY OF DISTAL URETERIC STONES
Authors: Ahmed M Abrar , Anand Vijay , Kale Ravi
Published: January 2024

Background and Aims: Urolithiasis is one of the common disorder with which about 1/5th is found in the ureter, of which 2/3rd is seen in the lower
ureter. Medical expulsive therapy is one of the routine modalities of treatment which uses various drugs acting on the ureter smooth muscle by
different mechanism. Many studies had compared efcacy of combination drugs versus single drug. This study will compare the efcacy of the
combination of tamsulosin and tadalal against a standard drug combination of tamsulosin and nifedipine as medical expulsive therapy of distal
ureteric stones. Materials and Methods: This Randomized Control Study was performed from December 2020 to July 2022. Atotal of 120 adult
patients presenting with distal ureteric stones (5-10mm) were randomized to treatment with Tamsulosin 0.4mg+Nifedipine 30mg once daily
(Group A) and Tamsulosin 0.4mg+Tadalal 10mg once daily (Group B). Therapy was given for a maximum of 4 weeks. The stone expulsion rate
was the primary endpoint. Time to stone expulsion, frequency of analgesic use, number of hospital visits for pain and adverse effects of the drugs
were noted. Results: 60 patients were included in group A and group B respectively. No statistically signicant differences were observed
regarding patients' age, sex, and stone size distribution between both groups. There was a statistically signicant reduction in time to stone
expulsion in group B (9.69 ± 4.37) as compared to group A(12.88 ± 5.13), p = 0.043. No statistical difference was found for adverse drug effects.
Statistically signicant reduction in analgesic use was noted in the group B compared to group A. (p=0.02) Conclusion:According to the ndings
of this study, Tamsulosin plus tadalal is more effective than tamsulosin plus nifedipine as a medical expulsive therapy for distal ureteric stones.

Based on interviews and newspaper and internet sources, the study explores the impact of Covid-19 and the related measures on the life of the Hungarian national community in Slovenia during the first wave of the epidemic, i.e. from 12 March to 31 May 2020. Members of the Hungarian national community and their respective institutions, as well as all residents of the border area, were directly affected mainly by border closure, since following the democratic processes after the 1990s, and especially after accession to the European Union, life in the border zone had changed in both qualitative and quantitative terms. In the last decade, residents of the border area on both sides of the border have been integrated in the economic, transport, educational, cultural and sports life of the neighbouring country, their homeland.
Impact and Consequences of Covid-19 on the Functioning of Minority Institutions of the Slovene National Community in Austria
Authors: Grafenauer Danijel , Jesih Boris
Published: January 2024

Crucial for the development and survival of minorities and persons belonging to them is that their situation and position are taken into account in the countries’ measures and policies and are not aggravated thereby. This is particularly relevant in times of crisis, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Social interaction within the minority and the active contact of a national community with its kin-state - currently limited as a result of the measures to contain the coronavirus - are of the utmost importance for all minority national communities. Thanks to its organisational capacity, the Slovene national community in Austria was able to properly respond and adjust to the restrictions imposed, but the cancellation of traditional events and closure of bilingual schools raise questions among the community as to how its identity will survive if it cannot be expressed. There is concern that these consequences, especially since the epidemic continues unabated in the second wave, are likely to have a long-term impact on ethnic vitality.
Memory Wars and Minority Rights: From Ethnic Conflict towards a Peace Region Alps-Adria?
Authors: Pirker Jürgen
Published: January 2024

Described as “the age of extremes” by historian Eric Hobsbawm, the 20th century was defined by heavily-contested borders and identities in Central Europe: politically, culturally, socially, and intellectually. With the end of World War I, communities found themselves in new nation- states, and the politics of assimilation and relations between minorities and their kinstates created tensions that continue to reverberate today. Using the Slovene minority in Austria as a case study, the article provides insight into two international projects that involve civil society actors in the field of memory politics and young people and their attitudes towards history and minorities. In drawing lessons from these initiatives dealing with troubled pasts to counteract current forms of exclusive identity politics, the article proposes that effective minority protection depends on a conductive social environment that allows for the reflection of opposing narratives stemming from ethnic conflict and acknowledges diversity as enrichment.
Minority Literature and Collective Trauma: The Case of Slovene Triestine Literature
Authors: Toroš Ana
Published: January 2024

The study focuses on the relationship between minority literature and collective trauma. Drawing on the theory of trauma, psychoanalysis, memory studies, and literary representations of memory, we argue that the trauma resulting from the suppression of Slovene identity in Trieste during fascism is transmitted into literary discourse through two channels. Firstly, through the normative model of remembering the trauma in question – namely through literary works that can be described as fictions of memory. Secondly, we paid attention to the manifestations of trauma that (unconsciously) enter the narrative structure, regardless of the time and events, which are not necessarily tied to the period of fascism and to concrete events and places of memory. In this context, we illuminated the literary characters from the perspective of literary imagology (the I and the Other).
Istrian-Venetian Dialect among the Members of the Italian National Minority in Slovene Istria
Authors: Todorović Suzana
Published: January 2024

During the dialectological research carried out in recent years in some Istrian-Venetian localities (towns), we have learned from conversations with dialect speakers that the Istrian-Venetian dialect is most probably the language of communication of most members of the Italian national community in the coastal part of Slovene Istria. In order to get a more accurate and detailed insight into the use of the Istrian-Venetian dialect spoken by Italians in formal and informal speech situations, we conducted a quantitative survey with 232 randomly selected respondents and a qualitative survey with 50 interviews. The respondents answered various multiple-choice questions about the languages they use in their daily lives. Research has shown that the Istrian-Venetian dialect is the predominant idiom among members of the Italian national community in Slovene Istria, except when communicating with non-Italian interlocutors and in official institutions where, despite the right to use their language, i.e., Italian, the predominant language is Slovene.

Authors: Doz Daniel , Felda Darjo , Cotič Mara , Štemberger Tina
Published: January 2024

During the second quarantine period in Italy (Oct. ‘20–June ‘21), students once again faced a remote teaching and learning format. Much research has been conducted on students’ perceptions during the first pandemic period; however, far less is known about the second period, especially in the case of students within the Slovene minority in Italy. We aimed to investigate (1) students’ satisfaction with their teachers’ teaching methods in remote learning and in-class teaching formats, (2) students’ perceptions regarding the main differences between in-class and online mathematics lessons, and (3) whether students’ grades in mathematics changed as a result of the pandemic. The findings showed that students’ grades during the quarantine period increased compared to their grades before the pandemic. However, students were more satisfied with their teachers’ in-class teaching methods and believed that in-class teaching was more efficient. They were also more motivated and concentrated at school than online.
The Backpack of a Carinthian Slovene – Transmission of Transgenerational Trauma in Slovenes in Carinthia/Koroška
Authors: Wirth Luisa
Published: January 2024

During the time of National Socialism, the Slovenes in Carinthia/Koroška were persecuted. The present study examines the transmission of transgenerational trauma in Carinthian Slovenes. Qualitative problem-centred interviews were conducted with second generation Carinthian Slovenes and analysed with psychoanalytic text interpretation. Even though there were no indications of trauma disorders in the present sample, there was clear evidence of mental burden linked to many of the respondents’ family histories. The familial past was often experienced as a burden. The experiences of the first generation seemed to have a significant impact on the second generation. The study holds important implications for the psychotherapeutic treatment of the offspring of Holocaust survivors and highlights the societal responsibility to acknowledge the trauma of oppression and persecution.

Growth modulation in Genu Valgum secondary to Multiple Hereditary Exostosis

Objective: Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME) is a rare disease with a prevalence of 1:50,000, which can manifest in various ways. This cartilaginous tumor can appear in a spectrum, ranging from mobility restriction to chronic pain and alignment disorders. Literature often describes forearm deformities such as excessive radial bowing, ulnar shortening, and radial head dislocation. Factors resulting in genu valgus and specific treatment strategies are not frequently studied. Considerations specific to the disease, such as the morphology of the lesion, time taken for deformity correction, and timing of exostosis excision, should be taken into account when treating genu valgum in patients with MHE.
Case: Our case report highlights a teenager with underlying MHE who presented to us with "knock knees" since childhood. Clinically, it was observed that the patient had bilateral genu valgum and multiple bony swellings overlying the proximal tibia and distal femur. The deformity was subsequently addressed with bilateral proximal tibia hemi-epiphysiodesis, exostoses excision of bilateral proximal tibia, and left distal tibia. The radiographs and surgical technique are detailed in the case report. Our literature review indicates that distal femur exostoses play a significant role in causing genu valgus in these patients. The morphology of the exostoses also affects the development of genu valgus, with sessile lesions contributing more bony deformity compared to pedunculated lesions. Hemi-epiphysiodesis, as performed in our patient, often achieves outcomes similar to idiopathic genu valgum. However, the correction would take about 6 months longer, so in cases of MHE, correction should start earlier. Another dilemma in cases of pathological genu valgus is whether to remove exostosis during corrective surgery. Literature advocates delaying the excision of proximal tibia exostoses as long as possible to reduce the risk of accelerating deformity worsening.
Conclusion: In conclusion, factors influencing genu valgus progression include the morphology of the lesion (sessile), presence of metaphyseal flaring, and a history of prior exostosis excision. Early detection of the pathology would yield better outcomes, as the rate of deformity correction in children with MHE is slower due to abnormal physis. Meticulous surgical technique to prevent injury to the physis and knee immobilization post-excision of exostosis are important factors in preventing the development of genu valgus in children with MHE.

Two-dimensional shapes are one of the mathematical materials studied in grade1 of elementary school. This material requires spatial abilities. However, students still often have difficulty with this material, especially when determining the types. One solution to make it easier for students to understand two-dimensional shapematerial is to use android-based educational game learning media, so that students can learn while playing anywhere and anytime independently. The development is carried out using the Hannafin and Peck model, which consists of needs analysis, design, as well as development and implementation. The validation test was carried out by two material experts with results of 90.6% and one media expert with results of 87.5%. The trial was carried out on 21 users and obtained results of 97.5%. The results of validation tests and trials show that educational game media is very feasible and very effective for use in learning to recognize two-dimensional shapes. The development of mathematics educational games can be carried out at various levels of education and on various materials.

O presente estudo visa discutir as evidências científicas sobre o pré- natal como instrumento na prevenção de sífilis gestacional e explanar sobre a acuidade da consulta de enfermagem na assistência pré-natal no Brasil. Estudo  do  tipo  revisão  integrativa  da  literatura, associado ao acrônimo PICo e estruturado com os descritores: Sífilis; Sífilis Congênita; Gravidez; Cuidado Pré-Natal, no recorte temporal de 2017 a 2021, sendo desenvolvido por meio das bases de dados: Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF), consultados através da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, e na Biblioteca Virtual Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Notou-se que os altos indicadores de sífilis gestacional proporcionará redução somente quando possuir uma aceitação de medidas mais eficazes de prevenção e controle nos serviços de atenção básica. Salienta-se que o envolvimento familiar mais profundo com a gestante e seu parceiro sexual durante o pré-natal, auxiliando-os em uma relação mais humanizada entre o paciente e a equipe, facilitando assim o tratamento e o tornando mais eficaz e seguro.

Este artigo tem como objetivo correlacionar as taxas de mortalidade infantil com as doenças respiratórias agudas nos anos de 2017 a 2021 no estado de São Paulo. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico do tipo ecológico de análise temporal com dados obtidos no mês de novembro de 2023 no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DataSus) e originárias do Sistema de Informação de Agravo e Notificações (SINAN). Foi evidenciado a partir da análise dos gráficos que no estado de São Paulo, a taxa de óbitos infantis por doenças do aparelho respiratório apresenta importante relação com o tamanho da população, além da intrínseca relação dessas enfermidades com os poluentes atmosféricos. Embora no início do ano de 2020 o estado tenha apresentado uma baixa nas mortes relacionadas ao aparelho respiratório em crianças, a pandemia da Covid-19 trouxe um aumento significativo nesse dado, reafirmando assim, a necessidade de se olhar com atenção para esse desafio do sistema de saúde brasileiro.

Most of the natural aspirated truck diesel engines had an eight-cylinder V-twin (V8) configuration. Modern turbocharged diesel engines have a six-cylinder in-line configuration (L6), although some V8 diesel engines continue to be produced. A comparison was made of the performance of the KAMAZ-740 (V8) diesel engine with two turbochargers and KAMAZ-910 (L6) diesel engines with one turbocharger, having almost the same displacement with the same pattern of torque along the full load characteristic. The AVL BOOST software and experimental compressor and turbine maps were used. The factors influencing fuel efficiency were analyzed: indicated efficiency, friction and gas exchange losses, turbocharger efficiency. The L6 diesel engine had a uniform pressure pulsation in the exhaust manifold and at the turbine inlet. In the V8 diesel engine, the pulsations were uneven and had higher amplitude, which led to higher gas exchange losses and a decrease in turbine efficiency. The L6 diesel engine had a higher indicated efficiency but also higher friction losses. On average, the brake specific fuel consumption of the L6 diesel engine was by 5.5 % lower than that of the V8 diesel engine.
