The distribution of geostrategic power is influenced by various factors such as competition among nations, economic strength, and military capabilities. Major countries, both central and regional, are pursuing their strategic interests and working towards establishing a new international relations model. As the dynamics between the United States, China, Russia, and other key players evolve, a new geopolitical landscape is taking shape, leading to substantial shifts in international security and order. This research delves into the evolving global geostrategic power balance, examining its key trends, underlying causes, and potential outcomes. It scrutinizes the current state of international relations, and the strategic policies adopted by countries on regional and global scales, and offers insights into future developments.
DEVELOPMENTS IN HARMONISATION OF SHARĪꜥAH AND LAW ON WAQF
Authors: Nor Asiah Mohamad
Published: December 2024

Sharīꜥah-compliant social finance products are in high demand worldwide. Waqf is one of the above instruments based on which can be designed and implemented in line with Sharīꜥah. The complexities in Malaysia due to the adoption of the dual legal system, the federal-state background, and the exclusive jurisdiction of the state on Islamic matters have, to a certain extent, produced differences in procedures and laws, as well as in the area of waqf. This paper highlights the justification for, the processes related to, and developments in the harmonisation of waqf related laws in Malaysia, within the diverse legal background of the country. It adopts the method of doctrinal analysis, looking into various laws, articles, books, and research papers. The paper argues that harmonisation initiatives involving multiple fields, including law, policy, education, and strategic cooperation, are necessary to elevate waqf beyond the social philanthropy paradigm. It is found that the position of Islamic laws in Malaysia, to a certain extent, has impacted the development of waqf, especially in the jurisdictions of Sharīꜥah Court and civil court.  The recognition of Islamic finance via specific laws has contributed to designing the framework of laws on waqf. History shows that a lack of understanding of the concept of waqf, especially related to its difference from the English concept of trust and the division of power between federal and state authorities, has also influenced the slow development of waqf in Malaysia. This paper recommends standardisation of state laws and a change of mindset among administrators, which are crucial for the sustainability of waqf in Malaysia. It is hoped that this study shall contribute to the preparation of new policies and laws especially in the Malaysian context.

Published: December 2024

Objectives: The current study is an attempt to examine the effectiveness of English textbook published by Oxford University Press and being taught to the students of grade 5 in many private schools. During last few years, government of Pakistan has implemented the concept of Single National Curriculum (SNC) to get it introduce and functional in every educational institution of the country. For this purpose, state-owned and private publishers brought modifications in their curricula and materials in order to ensure their alignment with the SNC. Methods: Researcher adopted descriptive framework in this survey-based research to gather and analyze the data quantitatively. The randomly selected 200 teachers and 100 students with equal proportion of gender was determined as the sample of the study. Two different types of questionnaires were taken as data collection tools in order to obtain information from the participants. Findings: The obtained results indicated diversity of findings regarding effectiveness and utilization of Oxford English textbooks in schools. The participants highlighted the importance of textbooks, its impressive content, logical organization, comprehensive exercises, and meticulous course learning objectives. However, it was also found that textbook is expensive, lack cultural components, ignore real life linguistic issues, and devoid of maintaining learning and teaching interest. It was also found that teachers are not given proper trainings on implementing textbook-based instructional strategies in English classrooms. Research implications: The problems and challenges highlighted by students and teachers may benefit the school administrators, implementers and managers to devise their further policies, which may facilitate learning effectively.

Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

Craniocervical junction morphology has been associated with Chiari malformation type I (CMI) symptom severity; however, little is known about its deterministic effect on surgical outcomes in patients across age and sex differences. The goal of the present study was to assess the effects of age and sex on surgical outcomes in CMI.

METHODS

In the present study, the authors examined MRI-based morphometric data from 115 individuals diagnosed with CMI (54 adults including 39 women and 15 men, and 61 children including 24 girls and 37 boys) and correlated them with Chicago Chiari Outcome Scale (CCOS) scores obtained 1 year after posterior fossa decompression. The authors assessed 7 craniocervical junction morphology–related measures that have been associated with CMI symptom severity: McRae line length, clivus length, Wackenheim angle, anterior and posterior CSF spaces, clivo-supraoccipital angle, and tonsillar position.

RESULTS

In the pediatric cohort, none of the morphometric measures correlated with CCOS score, but both anterior and posterior CSF spaces did in adults. To further study sex and age effects, the authors used age group (children vs adults) and sex (female vs male) as independent variables and ran 3 separate ANOVA tests using CCOS score, anterior CSF space, and posterior CSF space as dependent variables, respectively. Both CCOS and anterior CSF space analyses resulted in significant interactions. Specifically, women showed lower CCOS scores and smaller anterior CSF spaces than girls, boys, or men.

CONCLUSIONS

These results provide evidence that joint age and sex differences moderate the surgical outcome of CMI patients. In females, smaller anterior CSF space was associated with lower CCOS score.

Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

Many studies have compared outcomes following anterior and posterior cervical fusion, yet the differences in the impacts of perioperative complications on outcomes have not been well studied. This study aimed to assess the differences in the effects of 30-day perioperative complications on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after multilevel anterior versus posterior cervical fusion.

METHODS

Adult patients who underwent anterior or posterior cervical fusion at three or more levels between 2014 and 2020 were analyzed. Each group was subdivided based on the occurrence and severity of perioperative complication: no complication versus minor complication versus major complication. The study primarily compared PROMs and minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) within and between the groups.

RESULTS

A total of 146 anterior (102 with no complications, 36 with minor complications, 8 with major complications) and 55 posterior (36 with no complications, 13 with minor complications, 6 with major complications) cervical fusion cases were analyzed. Within the anterior or posterior group, there were no significant differences in the PROM change or proportions of patients achieving the MCID. In comparing the anterior group with the posterior group, anterior patients without complications had better improvement in the 3-month Neck Disability Index (coefficient 11.2, p = 0.019), with higher odds of achieving the MCID for the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association score at 3 months (OR 2.0, p = 0.039). Otherwise, there were no significant differences in the PROM change or proportions of patients achieving the MCID in subsets of anterior or posterior patients with minor or major complications. Furthermore, patients with major complications had higher early readmission rates regardless of the surgical approach. Major complications were also associated with longer and increased rates of intensive care unit stays after posterior fusion compared with anterior fusion.

CONCLUSIONS

This study suggests that the severity of perioperative complications following anterior or posterior cervical fusion did not predict changes in PROMs or achievement of MCIDs in the anterior or posterior group. Also, PROMs may not fully differentiate the full extent of the impact of perioperative complications following anterior versus posterior cervical fusion. Otherwise, in subsets of patients without complications, anterior compared with posterior patients had improved Neck Disability Index scores at 3 months, with a significant proportion of patients achieving the MCID for the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association score at 3 months.

The reactions of calcium hydroxide with pivalic, 1-naphthoic, and 2-furancarboxylic acids afford the corresponding polymeric calcium carboxylates. Depending on the crystallization conditions, calcium pivalate is isolated as two different coordination polymers: [Ca3(Piv)6(DMF)2]n · 0.635nC6H6 · 0.365nDMF (I) and [Ca(Рiv)(H2O)2.333(DMF)0.666]n · nРiv·0.333H2O (II). The synthesized calcium 1-naphthoate contains coordinated water molecules [Сa(Naph)2(H2O)2]n (III), and calcium furoate [Ca(Fur)2]n (IV) contains no ancillary ligands. The structures of compounds I–IV are determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) (CIF files CCDC nos. 2342790–2342793, respectively). The structures of compounds I–III are characterized by the 1D polymeric structure, and compound IV is the 3D polymer.
Obesity as the main factor of metabolic syndrome influencing on respiratory function
Authors: Aleksandrova N. P.
Published: December 2024

In the review, a generalized analysis of current scientific data explaining the physiological mechanisms of the influence of obesity on respiratory system is carried out. The multifactorial nature of the respiratory effect of obesity, including mechanical and inflammatory effects, is emphasized. The consequences of restrictive and obstructive changes in the biomechanics of respiration, changes in the topographic distribution of lung ventilation, mismatch of ventilation and perfusion, and a decrease in the efficiency of the respiratory muscles are considered. Elucidation of the central mechanisms of the respiratory action of proinflammatory mediators expressed by adipose tissue cells is recognized as a promising area of research. Special attention is paid to the action of leptin, which is the main regulator of metabolism and respiratory control in obesity. Its ability to modulate the central respiratory chemosensitive is discussed. It is assumed that an increase in pulmonary ventilation due to an increase in leptin production in obesity has a compensatory character and allows obese patients to maintain normocapnia despite an increase in mechanical load on respiration system. Whereas leptin resistance and suppressed hypercapnic ventilation response play a key role in the development of obesity–hypoventilation syndrome. It is concluded that it is necessary to further study the physiological mechanisms of the influence of obesity on the respiratory function in order to find new effective therapeutic methods for the treatment of diseases associated with obesity, which is the main factor in the development of metabolic syndrome.

Authors: Barbashova M. A. , Trifonova M. S. , Kurashov E. A.
Published: December 2024

The findings of 2019 research on bottom biocenoses in several macrophyte beds around Lake Ladoga are presented. The spatial distribution of macrozoobenthos quantitative properties indicated significant variances. Zoobenthos biomass and density ranged from 0.17 to 77.13 g/m2 and 392–49 800 ind./m2, respectively. In terms of biomass, amphipods dominated the taxa (on average, 49%). Comparing 2014 to 2019, there was a decline in the zoobenthos level of development. The Gmelinoides fasciatus, Micruropus possolskii, Pontogammarus robustoides, and Chelicorophium curvispinum invasive amphipod species are demonstrated to have a significant influence on the interannual alterations of macrozoobenthos communities in the lake's littoral zone.
Ecophysiology of extremophilic diatom alga Nitzschia cf. thermaloides from mud volcanoes of Crimea
Authors: Davidovich O. I. , Davidovich N. A. , Podunay Yu. A. , Martynenko N. A.
Published: December 2024

The diatom alga Nitzschia cf. thermaloides can be found in large numbers in puddles and lakes in the places where mud volcanoes function in the area of the Bulganak mud volcano field (eastern Crimea). Environmental conditions in such reservoirs are extreme: salinity is from 18 to ≥70‰, insolation is extremely high, and ultraviolet radiation is very strong. The growth rate and the intensity of sexual reproduction of N. cf. thermaloides at different salinity and illumination levels have been studied in laboratory conditions. We have determined the limits of halotolerance and the optima of salinity and illumination for growth and sexual reproduction of the alga, capable of vegetative reproduction in an environment with salinity from 0 to 220‰. The range for sexual reproduction is narrower, from 6 to 54‰. The salinity of 22–25‰ and illumination of about 1.5 klx are optimal for both vegetative and sexual reproduction of N. cf. thermaloides.
Effect of temperature on the coagulation activity of blood plasma in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss), common carp (Cyprinus Carpio) and the african catfish (Clarias Gariepinus) in vitro

Published: December 2024

Data from coagulograms of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792), african sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) and common scaly carp Cyprinus carpio (L., 1758) obtained by clotting methods at plasma incubation temperatures of 43°C, 40°C, 37°C, 24°C, 28°C and 18°C were analyzed. It was revealed that in catfish and carp the internal pathway predominates in the activation of blood coagulation, and in trout the main ones are the formation of a clot along the internal and general pathways. The amount of soluble fibrin-monomer complexes in trout is the highest of all fish studied. Hypo- and hypercoagulable states in the plasma hemostasis of the studied fish species in vitro were established at both low and high temperatures of the reaction medium. Fibrinogen and antithrombin III exhibit thermolabile at temperatures other than 37°C. Correlation and regression analysis showed that the most closely related to changes in temperature in carp are prothrombin time (PT), and the activity of fibrinogen and antithrombin III in catfish. A change in PT of 50% can be explained by the influence of the temperature factor, and the fibrinogen and antithrombin III activity by 77% and 52%, respectively. The identified patterns can become the basis for determining the boundaries of thermal adaptation of fish and developing biomarkers of heat stress.
On the ecosystem and indicator significance of fatty acids in the composition of the low-molecular metabolom of water macrophytes
Authors: Kurashov E. A. , Krylova J. V. , Chernova A. M. , Khodonovich V. V. , Yavid E. Y.
Published: December 2024

The hypothesis that aquatic macrophytes produce and include in their low molecular weight metabolome fewer fatty acids (in composition and content) under anthropogenic impact (eutrophication and pollution) than in clean, undisturbed, or slightly disturbed aquatic habitats (oligotrophic and mesotrophic conditions) was tested for the first time. The available data really give grounds to definitely speak about a decrease in the specific production of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids by macrophytes per unit of their biomass with an increase in the processes of eutrophication and pollution in aquatic ecosystems. The use of this pattern for the indicator assessment of anthropogenic influence on aquatic ecosystems is a significant practical application of this regularity.

Published: December 2024

Стаття присвячена вивченню шляхів забезпечення соціальної відповідальності архітектурно-будівельних підприємств та оцінці економічних переваг, пов'язаних з впровадженням таких практик. Автори зазначають, що у сучасному світі спостерігається зростаюча увага до соціальної відповідальності бізнесу, в тому числі і в будівельній галузі. Це обумовлено підвищенням рівня свідомості громадян щодо впливу людської діяльності на навколишнє середовище та суспільство в цілому. Відповідно, архітектурно-будівельні підприємства повинні не лише виконувати свої професійні завдання, а й враховувати екологічні, безпекові та комфортні аспекти для користувачів, а також взаємодіяти з місцевими громадами. Основними перевагами впровадження соціальної відповідальності визначено: покращення репутації компанії, залучення та утримання талановитих співробітників, підвищення конкурентоспроможності на ринку та забезпечення сталого розвитку. Досягнення високих стандартів соціальної відповідальності може також сприяти залученню інвестицій та партнерству з урядовими та недержавними організаціями. Дослідження детально розкриває основні напрями забезпечення соціальної відповідальності в діяльності архітектурно-будівельних підприємств. Зокрема, забезпечення безпеки та комфорту мешканців будівель, врахування соціокультурних та екологічних аспектів, активна взаємодія з місцевими громадами. Окремо підкреслюється важливість зменшення негативного впливу на навколишнє середовище через використання інноваційних технологій, екологічних матеріалів, енергоефективних рішень тощо. Економічні переваги соціальної відповідальності для архітектурно-будівельних підприємств полягають у кращому іміджі та репутації, підвищенні довіри споживачів, залученні нових клієнтів та партнерів, підвищенні продуктивності праці та ефективності діяльності. Автори наголошують, що соціально відповідальний бізнес стає ключовим фактором успіху в сучасних умовах. Для подальшого розвитку архітектурно-будівельних підприємств на засадах соціальної відповідальності важливо активно співпрацювати з громадськістю, державними установами та науковими організаціями. Це дозволить розробляти та впроваджувати інноваційні підходи, спрямовані на забезпечення сталого розвитку та підвищення рівня життя населення. Загалом, дослідження доводить, що інтеграція соціально-відповідальних практик у діяльність архітектурно-будівельних підприємств сприяє не лише ефективному управлінню ризиками та покращенню якості робіт, а й створенню позитивного іміджу компанії, залученню нових клієнтів та збереженню стабільної позиції на ринку.

Published: December 2024

Статтю присвячено дослідженню потенційних напрямів розвитку інвестиційного потенціалу підприємств туристичного сектору. Метою статті є удосконалення наявного теоретико-методичного забезпечення щодо функціонування інвестиційного потенціалу підприємства та розробка комплексного підходу, який включає напрями розвитку інвестиційного потенціалу підприємств туристичної сфери. В статті розглянуто інвестиційний потенціал підприємств туристичного сектору, який є багатогранною концепцією, що охоплює фінансові, матеріальні, кадрові, організаційні та інші ресурси. В дослідженні представлено ключові аспекти інвестиційного потенціалу, які сприяють залученню інвесторів, розвитку інфраструктури та впровадженню інновацій в туристичну галузь. В дослідженні обґрунтовано важливість фінансової спроможності підприємств для ефективного залучення інвестицій, зокрема, наявність доступу до фінансових ресурсів через банки, інвестиційні фонди та венчурний капітал є необхідною умовою для розвитку туристичних підприємств. Наведено основні складові інвестиційного потенціалу, зокрема: кадровий потенціал, матеріально-технічну базу, інноваційні технології, екологічний і соціальний аспекти, політичну та правову стабільність. Виявлено, що розвинена інфраструктура, яка включає готельні комплекси, транспортну мережу та інші об’єкти, дозволяє підприємствам залучати інвесторів і забезпечує комфорт туристам. Дослідження підкреслює значення кадрового потенціалу, оскільки кваліфіковані кадри є важливою складовою для ефективного впровадження проєктів в туризмі. Дослідження також дозволило виявити важливість інноваційних технологій, таких як інформаційно-комунікаційні системи для онлайн-бронювання, впровадження «зелених» технологій та автоматизація управлінських процесів. Важливим аспектом є екологічна та соціальна відповідальність підприємств. Врахування цих аспектів сприяє підвищенню привабливості для інвесторів, орієнтованих на сталий розвиток. Підкреслюється роль політичної стабільності та правового захисту інвестицій для створення сприятливого інвестиційного клімату. Інвестиційний потенціал підприємств туристичного сектору розглядається як багатокомпонентний механізм, що об’єднує фінансові, кадрові, інноваційні, екологічні та правові фактори. Ефективне використання цих компонентів сприяє сталому розвитку галузі та забезпеченню конкурентоспроможності туристичних підприємств.

El ardor de la memoria. verdad, historia y testimonio en las aulas
Authors: Murillo-Arango Gabriel Jaime
Published: December 2024

Este artículo presenta una síntesis de los hitos más significativos que condicionan el lugar de la Pedagogía de la Memoria en las aulas de un país como Colombia que aún no logra liberarse totalmente de la confrontación armada. Con base en el reconocimiento de una premisa histórica de formación ciudadana discriminatoria, clasista y excluyente, heredada del tiempo colonial y del republicanismo a medias, la exposición se centra en los logros recientes de la sociedad, la cultura y la política en procura de una paz nacional estable y duradera, a través de distintos procesos desarrollados en lo que va corrido del siglo, no exentos de retrocesos y amenazas. Como también les son inherentes las tensiones entre historia y memoria, esto es, acerca de la comprensión entre la larga duración y las huellas del pasado en el presente, que constituye la condición de posibilidad de una conciencia crítica apta para el ejercicio de una memoria ejemplar proyectada al futuro. Un proyecto de formación de este tipo tiene como finalidad renovar el vínculo intergeneracional del aprender a vivir juntos basado en el cultivo de relaciones distinguidas por la alteridad y la diferencia, que está en la esencia de toda educación no subordinada a los fines del progreso económico ni a la banalidad de vidas sin memoria.
Narrativas de crianças sobre o brincar: culturas infantis e relação intra/intergeracional
Authors: Coelho Patrícia Júlia Souza
Published: December 2024

A centralidade deste texto é refletir sobre as experiências do brincar, narradas por crianças de 4 a 6 anos, vivenciadas em uma escola de Educação Infantil pública rural. As narrativas apresentadas foram recolhidas por meio das rodas de conversa e dos diálogos narrativos individuais com as crianças colaboradoras da pesquisa. As experiências narradas pelas crianças foram analisadas à luz da abordagem compreensiva-interpretativa de Ricoeur (2009), estabelecendo articulações com os princípios/conceitos da Sociologia da Infância e da abordagem (auto)biográfica. Diante dos diálogos narrativos individuais, foi possível concluir que a escola para as crianças representa um importante espaço para que elas possam vivenciar as culturas infantis, tendo em vista a relação inter/intrageracional, estabelecida com seus pares, por meio da experiência do brincar. Considerando as narrativas das crianças neste estudo, ações formativas emergiram, nas dimensões da pesquisa, do ensino e da extensão, envolvendo estudantes de graduação, pós-graduação e professoras de Educação Infantil, com vista a validar a experiência do brincar nos processos de produção das culturas infantis e de constituição de aprendizagens experienciais das crianças.
“Pra ficar na memória e nos acompanhar”: cartas, narrativas e (re)invenções de si
Authors: Portugal Jussara Fraga
Published: December 2024

O texto deriva da intersecção de dois projetos ancorados nos princípios teórico-metodológicos da pesquisa narrativa: o projeto de extensão “Vida e pandemia: narrativas em quarentena” (Portugal, 2020a) e a pesquisa “Isolar para viver: narrativas em tempos de pandemia” (Portugal, 2020b). O primeiro se constituiu como um espaçotempo virtual de partilha de histórias sobre a vida no contexto de isolamento/distanciamento social e do enfrentamento da covid-19, intencionando tematizar os impactos da pandemia na vida cotidiana e refletir sobre a questão do lockdown e a (re)elaboração de rotinas de trabalho e estudo na dimensão home office/remoto, a partir das narrativas orais nos encontros quinzenais. O segundo buscou analisar vivências/experiências individuais partilhadas pelos membros do Grupo de Pesquisa Geo(bio)grafar – Geografia, diversas linguagens e narrativas de professores sobre as situações experienciadas no contexto. Os mencionados projetos foram desenvolvidos durante a pandemia de covid-19, dos quais participaram 30 membros do Grupo de Pesquisa Geo(bio)grafar, professores da Universidade do Estado da Bahia (UNEB), professores da Educação Básica, estudantes da graduação e da pós-graduação. As narrativas foram produzidas no formato de cartas compartilhadas via e-mail e WhatsApp, cujos enredos versam sobre a vidas, tempos e espaços alterados, suspensos e/ou reprogramados na pandemia, revelando, como, nesse período insólito, tivemos que reconfigurar rotinas e aprender novos e inéditos modos de ser, viver e fazer, enfrentando nossas dores, medos, angústias, tensões e suas consequências na vida cotidiana.
Histórias de uma “terra de ninguém”: experiências de uma cidade com a loucura
Authors: Pimenta Monecchi Samara , Barros de Barros Maria Elizabeth , De Barros Conde Rodrigues Heliana
Published: December 2024

O artigo apresenta experiências citadinas da cidade de Cariacica, chamada, por muitos de “terra de ninguém”. Integrante da região metropolitana do Espírito Santo, e no caminho do “desenvolvimento econômico”, Cariacica durante muitos anos abrigou os rejeitados das cidades. Isso, pois, foi lá a sede do primeiro hospital psiquiátrico do estado, o antigo Hospital Adauto Botelho, que encarcerou os ditos loucos e indesejados das cidades espírito-santenses. A partir da abertura dos portões físicos deste Hospital, a loucura passou a habitar as ruas de Cariacica, que também foi escolhida para sediar as primeiras residências terapêuticas. Essas tinham a finalidade de ser moradia para alguns dos ex-internos do hospital que perderam o vínculo familiar. As histórias da cidade emergem em cada fresta das casas, ruas, avenidas, placas, entre tantos outros espaços e na memória de seus moradores, todas indicando que essa- “terra de ninguém” foi abandonada pelos poderes públicos, deixada à sua própria sorte. Contudo, se destaca por lutas e resistências que ganham força a partir da ocupação da loucura em seus espaços.

Este artigo tem por interesse apresentar os caminhos e as caminhadas pelas muitas ruas, vias e vielas da vida e que nos conduzem aos variados lugares da/pela cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Cercada por linda natureza, vislumbramos uma cidade que é formada, deformada e transformada pelos tantos ‘praticantespensantes’ que encontraram no morro e no asfalto uma possibilidade de seguir criando múltiplos ‘conhecimentossignificações’. Ao considerar a cidade como o ‘espaçotempo’ de ‘fazersentirpensar’ nas muitas formas e modos de vida existentes, entendemos o Rio de Janeiro, com os seus cantos e encantos, como tessitura de vivências, um terreno fértil de saberes, culturas e possibilidades de criação e partilha de conhecimentos. Dessa forma, este texto é um convite a percorrer alguns ‘espaçostempos’ que nos conduzem a um sentimento de ser e estar com/na cidade. Queremos propor que caminhem conosco num (re)conhecimento e numa identificação, ou não, pela música, pelos versos das muitas poéticas que se articulam com as vivências das ruas, com as imagens e narrativas visibilizadas nesses passos. Os resultados dessas caminhadas estão nas belezas dos versos, das prosas, das artes, dos encantamentos, nos encontros desse caminhar por essa pretensa cidade maravilhosa.

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a life threatening condition associated with an increased risk of neurological impairment. Magnesium sulfate (MgSO $_{4}$ ) is an alternative and low cost treatment for PPHN. Despite more appropriate and available therapies MgSO $_{4}$ is still widely used, especially in developing countries, but long-term follow-up is unknown. In a retrospective controlled study we evaluated whether MgSO $_{4}$ therapy for PPHN was associated with increased neuro-developmental impairments at follow-up, as compared to a control group. Population consisted of 33 infants treated for PPHN with MgSO $_{4}$ only (study group) and 32 healthy term infants (control group). Extensive neuro-developmental follow-up examination was performed at 18 months and 5 years of age. Rate of major impairments and minor impairments were evaluated and compared to the literature.

The rates of major impairments in the study group at 18 months and 5 years were 6% and 11.4%, respectively, and 0% at both ages in the control group. The rates of minor impairments at the same ages were 3% and 26.9% for the study group, and 0% and 26.1% for the control group. Mean developmental quotients at 18 months were 106.6 (SD 1.6) in the study group and 118.3 (SD 1.0) in the control group (p<0.001). General intellectual index at preschool age was not significantly different between the two groups. Treatment with MgSO $_{4}$ does not increase the rate of disability, as compared to other treatments for PPHN.

Objectives: To examine any association of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and intestinal perforation (IP) in very low birth weight neonates with indomethacin treatment, cumulative dose or maximum plasma concentrations.

Methods: This is a retrospective 9-year cohort study of very low birth weight infants (< 1500 grams) admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit. The incidence of NEC and IP in infants who received indomethacin for a PDA (N = 228) were compared to control infants who did not have PDA and received no indomethacin (N = 628). Factors which were statistically significant in a univariate analysis were then included in a logistic regression model to determine their significance.

Results: NEC occurred in 14 (6.1%) indomethacin-treated infants compared to 47 (7.5%) control infants. When the incidence of NEC or IP was restricted to events occurring within 14 days of indomethacin, 4 infants (1.7%) had NEC. IP occurred in 14 (6.1%) indomethacin-treated infants, but 10 had concurrent steroid therapy. IP also occurred in 4 (0.6%) controls. Multivariate logistical regression revealed a lower risk of NEC with indomethacin. The risk for NEC and IP is not increased with higher INDO doses or INDO concentrations.

Conclusions: Indomethacin treatment for PDA does not increase NEC risk, and may decrease the risk. Indomethacin treatment is associated with an increased risk of IP, especially when combined with systemic glucocorticoids.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To evaluate vancomycin use during late-onset sepsis evaluation in very low birth weight infants (VLBW).

Study design: Data on late-onset sepsis and antibiotic use, including vancomycin containing regimens, were analyzed and reported from 53 neonatal intensive care units participating in a randomized placebo-controlled trial of Veronate® for VLBW infants.

Results: Of 505 infants enrolled in the study, 387 (77%) had at least one evaluation for late-onset sepsis. Of these infants, 108 (28%) had one or more positive blood cultures. Two hundred thirty-three (60%) infants evaluated for late-onset sepsis received empiric vancomycin. Twenty-one of 33 neonatal intensive care units included vancomycin as empiric therapy more than 50% of the time.

Conclusions: Vancomycin exposure rates for first evaluations of late-onset sepsis are high. Strategies to optimize antibiotic use should minimize consequences of late-onset sepsis while limiting antibiotic pressure for development of resistance.
Can unilobar pulmonary lymphangiectasia be distinguished from	persistent pulmonary emphysema?
Authors: Attar Mohammad A. , Ruiz Robert E. , DiPietro Michael A.
Published: December 2024

We describe the case of an infant born prematurely at 32 weeks, who had mild respiratory distress syndrome and required brief support with mechanical ventilation. He was breathing room air by day six. At two weeks of age, he had worsening respiratory distress and pneumothorax. The infant had persistent hyperinflation and cystic changes in left lung along with clinical respiratory distress. He recovered quickly following a left lobectomy on day 40. Histo-pathologic evaluation of the resected tissue was compatible with pulmonary lymphangiectasia. We also discuss the clinical and histopathological limitations in distinguishing unilobar lymphangiectasia from persistent interstitial emphysema.
