PREDICTION OF FLUID RESPONSIVENESS WITH CRYSTALLOID MINI-FLUID CHALLENGE IN CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS
Authors: Thongtaeparak Wittaya , Somboonviboon Dujrath , Lertamornpong Amornchai , Aramareerak Pattanapol
Published: May 2024

Background: The mini-fluid challenge test is a good predictor and has minimal limitations in determining fluid responsiveness in the critically ill. However, it primarily relies on colloid infusion. The availability of colloids may vary among hospitals in resource-limited countries, and they can be more expensive than crystalloid fluids.
Objective: The study aimed to use crystalloids instead of colloids to predict fluid responsiveness.
Methods: This study was conducted from August 2022 to February 2023 among patients with shock in the medical ICU to assess fluid responsiveness. Arterial and central venous catheters were used for the intravenous infusion and monitoring. Data were collected during two consecutive crystalloid mini-fluid challenges of 50 mL each in 1 minute, 100 mL in 2 minutes, and a standard fluid challenge of 300 mL over 15 minutes. The objective was to predict a stroke volume index (SVI) increase of > 10%. Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, and hemodynamic variables in the positive fluid challenge group were compared for different volume expansions.
Results: Twenty-nine patients (62% males; median age, 75 years) were included, with 42 fluid challenge test events. Septic shock was the primary condition in 83% of the cases. The 50 mL crystalloid mini-fluid challenge showed an accuracy of 80% with a sensitivity of 69% and specificity of 100% at the cutoff level of SVI > 5%, Area Under ROC (AUROC)=0.79. In comparison, the 100 mL crystalloid mini-fluid challenge demonstrated an accuracy of 85% (sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 100%) at the cutoff level of SVI > 10% (AUROC= 0.89). In the positive fluid challenge group, administration of crystalloids led to a significant increase in mean arterial pressure and SVI, while other parameters remained comparable.
Conclusions: A mini-fluid challenge test with 100 mL crystalloids can predict fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients. The best cutoff level was a change in SVI > 10% from baseline.

Published: May 2024

This study presents the morpho-physiological characterization of potato (Solanum tuberosum) genotypes from the Andigenum and Phureja groups, cultivated at the Nariño, Colombia. The research addresses the vital role of genetic diversity in agricultural sustainability and food security, highlighting the importance of genetic resources for crop improvement and ecosystem stability. The study utilized a comprehensive morphological characterization based on both qualitative and quantitative descriptors to assess genetic variability within the university's potato collection. This approach allowed for the identification of duplicates, the enhancement of a morphological database, and insights into the genetic diversity of the collections. Using techniques like Multiple Correspondence Analysis (ACM) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), distinct clusters of genotypes were identified, which were highly influenced by their ploidy levels. Results indicated significant morphological variation between diploid Phureja and tetraploid Andigenum genotypes. Phureja genotypes showed greater similarity among themselves compared to the more diverse Andigenum group. This morphological diversity is importante for the identification of specific traits beneficial for breeding programs, such as resistance to environmental stresses and diseases. The study underscores the importance of maintaining genetic diversity within potato germplasm collections, facilitating the selection of genotypes with desirable agronomic traits. The findings contribute significantly to the understanding of the genetic and morphological foundations necessary for the future genetic improvement of the potato, a staple food crop with profound implications for global food security. The geographic distribution of the genotypes also suggested a correlation between morphological traits and geographic locations, reinforcing the role of local adaptation in crop diversity and resilience.

Published: May 2024

Covid-19 was declared a pandemic in 2020 and diffused everywhere in the world. Since then, many models have been created to study the diffusion of the disease. This paper is an attempt to predict the dispersion of COVID-19 and extract the prime factors of COVID-19 critical surge care capacity in Lahore. The primary data were collected using a questionnaire as a tool. The data were obtained from both public and private hospitals in Lahore. The implementation of factor analysis in the current study of the prime causes of COVID-19 surge capacity was analyzed to anticipate a reference for rudimentary research on COVID-19 and its prevention and management. It was analyzed through factor analysis that Patient Surge during the peak month of the pandemic caused employee burden, PPE unavailability and shortage, lack of testing supplies, bed and ventilator shortages, and an increase in cases with no hygiene and precautionary measures. These are the major factors that were responsible for the surge of disease in Lahore. It was identified that resolving these basic issues can bring improvements in future disease management, early preparation, and quick response to the pandemic outbreak to prevent human suffering and financial loss.

Authors: Aydın Varol Ezgi , Kılıç Gülşen , Bal Cenkhan , Atay İrem
Published: May 2024

Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is the first genetic syndrome identified among telomeropathies. Its classical phenotype is characterized by mucocutaneous abnormalities, atrophy and pigmentation of the skin, oral leukoplakia, and nail dystrophy. Bone marrow failure and susceptibility to malignancy are rare, and DC is mostly an X-linked recessive, serious, multisystemic disease. This study aims to increase dentists’ awareness of this genetic disease, accompanied by oral findings. Two cases of DC are reported in this paper, along with a short review of the literature. Oral findings of the disease include dental caries, gingival recession, short roots, gingival bleeding, severe mobility of the teeth, and alveolar bone loss. DC is clinically seen mostly in males aged 5 to 12. This case report examines dermatological and oral findings consistent with the disease of two brothers diagnosed with DC who applied to the Gülhane Health Sciences University, Faculty of Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry Department for dental caries complaints. DC is a rare disease, and dentists should pay attention to its systemic and oral symptoms during their examinations. Despite a positive prognosis of this disease, it is important to take into account any unexpected changes in hematological values and mucocutaneous malignant alterations.

Published: May 2024

O uso de papel e celulose no dia a dia da população é um fato bastante comum, o que historicamente só aumenta ano após ano. Desta forma, tanto do ponto de vista econômico, onde presa-se o investimento cauteloso para a produção deste insumo, quanto o ambiental, a redução, substituição e recuperação de alguns produtos químicos empregados em quantidades exacerbada no processo produtivo é desejável. Todavia, os cloretos e potássio são conhecidos por terem um impacto negativo nos equipamentos do processo de recuperação química de Kraft, motivando um interesse mundial pela remoção destes compostos presentes no licor negro, sem a eliminação exagerada dos reagentes nobres Na2SO4 e Na2CO3, o que culminaria na reposição de enxofre e soda ao sistema. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar experimentalmente uma possível implementação de um cristalizador no Processo KRAFT de produção de papel e celulose para se separar ou reduzir os teores de sais corrosivos e incrustantes no processo de recuperação do licor negro.

Published: May 2024

A termografia infravermelha (IRT) é uma técnica amplamente utilizada em diversas modalidades esportivas, na fisioterapia e em outras áreas da saúde para fazer registros em imagem da temperatura da pele (Tsk). O ciclo menstrual (CM), é um fator que pode influenciar esse registro, devido aos hormônios sexuais femininos que regulam o ciclo e influenciam a temperatura corporal. Este estudo buscou revisar a literatura, investigando se existe influência das fases do CM na Tsk de mulheres jovens adultas através da IRT, utilizando critérios de inclusão baseados em população, intervenção, comparador e resultados (PICO). O processo metodológico apoiou-se nas recomendações indicadas pelas diretrizes PRISMA. As estratégias de busca foram realizadas nas bases de dados PubMed, Embase e Cochrane Library, definindo como critérios de elegibilidade estudos com IRT; amostra com CM regular ou uso de CO; fase do CM definida; amostra separada por sexo; faixa etária acima de 18 anos e antes da menopausa. Foram encontrados 231 registros nas referidas bases de dados e 10 artigos de buscas manuais. 8 artigos foram selecionados para leitura completa, dos quais apenas 4 foram incluídos na revisão. A avaliação do risco de viés com a ferramenta Rob2 revelou algumas preocupações, mas os resultados foram considerados confiáveis. A extração de dados revelou heterogeneidade metodológica e clínica, dificultando a meta-análise. Os resultados dos estudos analisados mostraram diferenças nas Tsk entre as fases do CM, embora haja variação nos métodos e nas regiões de interesse (ROI) investigadas. As conclusões destacam a necessidade de mais pesquisas para padronizar intervenções e monitoramento do CM, visando evitar interferências externas nos resultados.

Authors: Leão Marcos Lorran Paranhos , Lando Giorge André
Published: May 2024

Esta pesquisa objetiva levantar as experiências de preconceito sofridas por estudantes membros de minorias dentro da Universidade de Pernambuco. Trata-se de um trabalho prospectivo, transversal e descritivo, baseado no levantamento das experiências de minorias dentro de uma universidade. Os dados foram colhidos por meio de um questionário on-line semi-estruturado. O desfecho dos episódios de preconceito foi de denúncia em apenas 3,5% das vezes e a vítima preferiu não fazer nada em 86%. O motivo principal para não ocorrência de denúncia foi a desmotivação em 55,8% dos casos. O agressor não foi punido em 94,7% das vezes. As universidades ainda não são capazes de promover um ambiente de caráter proativo, acolhedor e seguro para as minorias. Tratam com descaso a diversidade do corpo discente e ignoram as políticas responsáveis sobre o respeito e a aceitação, consequentemente, colaboram com a invisibilização dos grupos vulnerabilizados e a disseminação do preconceito.
Amoris laetitia jako odpowiedź na współczesne wyzwania związane z małżeństwem i rodziną
Authors: Glombik Konrad
Published: May 2024

Współczesne problemy i wyzwania związane z życiem małżeńskim i rodzinnym są przedmiotem stałej troski Kościoła. W ostatnich latach wyraźnym potwierdzeniem tego są synody poświęcone małżeństwu i rodzinie (2014, 2015) oraz adhortacja apostolska Amoris laetitia (2016) będąca ich pokłosiem. Niniejszy tekst stanowi uzasadnienie twierdzenia, że papieski dokument stanowi adekwatną odpowiedź Kościoła na wyzwania małżeństwa i rodziny we współczesnym świecie. Uzasadnieniem tego stanowiska są myśli wiodące zawarte w Amoris laetitia oraz sposób podejścia do kwestii w nim omawianych. Najpierw jest nim przyjęcie w dokumencie problemów życia małżeńskiego i rodzinnego za punkt wyjścia w poszukiwaniu rozwiązań. Charakterystyczną cechą dokumentu jest przypisanie centralnego miejsca kerygmatowi o małżeństwie i rodzinie, a także praktyce rozeznania, która ma prowadzić do konkretnych działań duszpasterskich. Ideą przewodnią wszelkich działań duszpasterskich i strategii odpowiedzi współczesne wzywania małżeństwa i rodziny jest miłosierdzie, stanowiące centrum orędzia chrześcijańskiego.
Intelligentia cordis. O poznaniu Boga i Jego zbawczej woli według św. Bernardyna ze Sieny
Authors: Kośla Henryk
Published: May 2024

W szkole franciszkańskiej proces poznawczy Boga w naturalny sposób zakłada wymogi serca, a teologia – z racjonalnego badania Bożych prawd – staje się dziedziną mądrości, a nawet mistyki, czyli zdolną integrować intelekt z wolą, teorię z praktyką, dogmat z duchowością. Ten właśnie rys teologicznego poznawania, w którym poznanie dąży przede wszystkim do więzi jedności z Poznawanym, możliwej w miłości i przez miłość, tak ważny dla franciszkanizmu, stał się impulsem do niniejszej analizy krótkiego tekstu św. Bernardyna ze Sieny O poznaniu Boga zamieszczonego w zbiorze kazań na Wielki Tydzień roku 1425, w przekładzie opatrzonym tytułem O doskonałości chrześcijańskiej. Chcemy bowiem ustalić: czy i w jakim stopniu Bernardyn jest dziedzicem „praxis” teologicznej noetyki, tak charakterystycznej dla szkoły franciszkańskiej, a także, o jakich ważnych jej elementach traktuje i w jaki sposób uwzględnia jej etyczne uwarunkowania.

Published: May 2024

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito analizar políticamente la gestión de los recursos humanos del Estado (GRHE) desde una visión sistémico-estructural, para ayudar a comprender los problemas que afectan la calidad de la gestión pública en América Latina. Para ello, se examina específicamente la sobre politización de la GRHE en Ecuador durante 2000-2021, con el objetivo de identificar los principales problemas que sigue generando sobre la gestión del servicio público de este país. Dicho análisis se apoya en el método histórico comparado y un diseño de investigación documental. Se parte de la idea de que la sobrepolitización constituye un patrón político-administrativo que afecta negativamente los procesos de trabajo implicados en las políticas públicas, cuya consecuencia es que disminuye la efectividad de la gestión pública, independientemente de los cambios de gobierno.
PUBLIC DOMAIN AS INDONESIA'S TRADEMARK LAW IN THE UTILITARIAN'S PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Rembonita Trisa , Wasitaatmaja Fokky Fuad
Published: May 2024

Indonesia’s Intellectual property rights encompass trademarks’ protection, copyrights, patents, geographical indications, industrial designs, circuit layout designs, and trade secrets, including aqua, the botol, and ecoprint, which use generic words and non-distinctiveness and disturb public order. Ecoprint became a public domain in 2001. However, it was approved as a trademark of products by the DGIPR in 2019 and protected by the law, allowing it to reap the economic benefits. The research problem is: How is the public domain of ecoprint used by trademarks being reviewed in positive Indonesian law from the perspective of utilitarian theory? The research uses a normative descriptive method with a conceptual approach and a comparative approach from secondary data, primary and secondary legal materials, and is analyzed using Jeremy Bentham's theory of utility, "the greatest happiness from the greatest number, namely through the provision of livelihood, abundance, security, and equality." The results indicate that Indonesian law does not explicitly manage the public domain as an intellectual property right that provides direct benefits to the community. The public domain becomes a trademark, creating incentives only for trademark owners instead of the community. IPR should cover the public domain to ensure incentives that benefit the wider welfare, including MSMEs.

ABSTRACT Depression and suicide among teenagers in Malaysia is a growing concern (Kok & Goh, 2011). The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms and its association with demographic characteristics among secondary school students. A cross sectional survey was employed; 386 students were recruited, aged 13 to 16-years-old. Stratified random sampling was performed to choose several secondary schools from rural and urban areas of Sarawak, East Malaysia. The rate of depressive symptoms among secondary school students in this area was 7.8% (30). Among those who reported having depressive symptoms, 43.3% (13) had thoughts of committing suicide, 40% (12) had suicidal ideation, and 16.7% (5) never had any suicidal thought or ideation. Students of Chinese ethnicity were significantly more depressed than other ethnicities. Students who had only one sibling were more depressed than those who had more than one sibling. Students who were staying in urban areas were more depressed compared to students staying in rural areas. While previous studies have reported that girls are more depressed than boys, no significant difference in depressive symptoms was found between genders. Type of schooling, living arrangement, family history of depression, and staying with extended family members had no significant association with depressive symptoms.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRAK Salah satu strategi kerajaan dalam usaha meningkatkan akses teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi (TMK) ialah melalui Medan Info Desa (MID) terutama di kalangan belia yang tinggal jauh di pedalaman. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis faktor penerimaan dan penggunaan TMK di kalangan belia Orang Asli di Pos Sinderut, Kuala Lipis Pahang. Seramai 433 (L=208, P=225) belia masyarakat Orang Asli dipilih sebagai responden. Kaedah penyelidikan kuantitatif yang menggunakan soal selidik telah digunakan sebagai alat ukur dalam proses pengumpulan maklumat. Data dianalisis menggunakan kaedah deskriptif serta analisis statistik seperti ujian-t dan ANOVA sehala. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan kira-kira 64 peratus responden tidak tahu atau kurang mahir menggunakan telefon bimbit berbanding 89 peratus responden yang tidak tahu atau kurang mahir menggunakan komputer disebabkan mereka tidak memiliki peralatan tersebut. Bagaimanapun persepsi responden terhadap kepentingan teknologi maklumat dalam kehidupan mereka sangat tinggi. Kira-kira 76 peratus responden berminat untuk mengikuti latihan komputer jika disediakan secara percuma. Kekurangan kemudahan asas terutamanya elektrik, ramai belia masih tidak tahu membaca dan menulis, serta tingkat pengetahuan berkaitan TMK yang rendah menjadi faktor mengapa penyediaan kemudahan telecenter yang dilengkapi prasarana teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi masih belum sesuai dibangunkan di kawasan ini.

ABSTRAK Perpaduan kaum yang wujud di negara ini dikatakan masih bersifat luaran dan belum mencapai apa yang diidamkan oleh semua masyarakat Malaysia, iaitu perpaduan yang berasaskan saling menghormati, bersikap toleransi dan menghargai kepelbagaian. Usaha memupuk perpaduan perlu diteruskan untuk mencapai matlamat yang dihasratkan dan ia perlu ditanamkan dalam jiwa generasi muda yang merupakan bakal pelapis pemimpin negara. Golongan muda perlu mendekati masyarakat melalui penglibatan dalam pelbagai aktiviti kemasyarakatan. Penglibatan Jiran Muda dalam aktiviti kemasyarakatan melalui aktiviti anjuran Rukun Tetangga dan Jabatan Perpaduan Negara dan Integrasi Nasional (JPNIN) merupakan ke arah pemantapan perpaduan masyarakat peringkat komuniti. Oleh itu, artikel ini membincangkan penglibatan Jiran Muda dalam aktiviti Rukun Tetangga di Kawasan Rukun Tetangga Daerah Hulu Langat, Selangor. Responden kajian ini ialah seramai 401 Jiran Muda yang berumur di antara13 hingga 21 tahun yang terdiri dari kaum Melayu, Cina, India dan Bumiputera Sabah dan Sarawak. Artikel ini menunjukkan bahawa majoriti responden mempunyai tahap penglibatan yang sederhana dalam penglibatan aktiviti Rukun Tetangga.

Penglibatan Jiran Muda dalam aktiviti Rukun Tetangga masih kurang memuaskan. Oleh itu, ttahap penglibatan mereka boleh dipertingkatkan melalui usaha dan kerjasama Jawatankuasa Rukun Tetangga dan JPNIN. Kata Kunci: Penglibatan, Rukun Tetangga, Jiran Muda, Toleransi, Perpaduan
