Authors: Siew Yin Eng Caroline , Vijayakulasingam Thalitha , Hong Ng Boon , Surdi Roslan Maryam Jamilah , Zainal Abidin Muhammad Zamakhshari , Lee Lee Ming Lee Lee
Published: January 2021

Background:  Recent retrospective studies suggest irrelevance of urine screening for neonate with prolonged jaundice. We re-evaluated the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) among these infants, their renal outcome and evaluated the cost incurred. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study. Asymptomatic, prolonged jaundiced infants with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia were screened for evidence of UTI as per local guidelines. Infants with pyuria would have urine sent for culture and sensitivity. Unit cost was referenced from hospital purchase. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0.  Results: A total of 291 cases were analyzed. Majority were term infants (93.8%). The commonest cause of prolonged jaundice was breast milk jaundice, hence an incidence rate of 0.34%. Only one infant persistently showed single uropathogen on urinary culture with concurrent pyuria. Urinary structures were normal on ultrasonography and there was no evidence of renal cortical scarring. No recurrence of UTI documented in the first year of life. Each “clean-catch” urinalysis costed RM7. This unit cost escalated to RM37 for catheterized sample.  A negative urine culture costed RM28 while a positive culture twice this price. The average cost effectiveness ratio (ACER) in this study was RM5856.56 per detection of case.    Conclusion: Incidence of UTI is low. In our study, an undesirable outcome is negligible. Unnecessary parental anxiety from the potentially laborious procedure could be avoided. This study refutes previous literature to include such screening in prolonged jaundice as this may well be irrelevant.

Authors: Sze Yee Lui , Abu Bakar Noor Zuraini , Zainol Abidin Ida Zaliza
Published: January 2021

The clinical diagnosis of snakebite is critical, particularly in Southeast Asia where venomous snakebites are a public health concern. Additionally, cases involving unwitnessed snakebite with no species identification, especially in non-verbal children posed a challenge in the emergency setting. A 2-year-2-month-old boy presented to our emergency department with signs of neurotoxicity. He was restless and mildly bradypnoeic with the respiratory rate of 24 to 28 breaths per minute. He also had bilateral ptosis with absent gag reflex. There were faint fang marks noted over the medial aspect of his left ankle with local swelling and bruises, despite no history of animal bite and no eyewitness. A high index of suspicion of neurotoxic envenomation was prompted and a total of 6 vials of neuro-polyvalent anti-venom were administered in scheduled batches. Progressive clinical recovery was subsequently observed after the first batch of anti-venom administration. The case illustrated the importance of clinical recognition of neurotoxic envenomation in the absence of snake bite history or species identification. Early administration of anti-venom may potentially reverse the neurotoxic effects of systemic envenomation and saves lives.

Authors: Abd Hamid Intan Juliana , Zainudeen Zarina Thasneem , Hashim Ilie Fadzilah
Published: January 2021

Primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) or inborn error of immunity is a heterogenous group of inherited diseases affecting the immune system resulting in increased susceptibility to infections, immune dysregulation, autoimmune manifestations, lymphoproliferation and malignancy. Cases of PIDs have been reported in Malaysia since 1977 and the numbers of reported cases steadily increased for the past 30 years with more trained clinical immunologist available, better immunodiagnostic facilities, wider immunoglobulin replacement therapy availability and improved techniques in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for PIDs. In this article, we highlight some of the limitations and challenges in the diagnosis and therapy of PID, and more recent efforts to establish PID service in Malaysia.
The Theoretical Model of School Refusal: The Self-Efficacy Concept
Authors: Husain Maruzairi , Vi Vien Ng
Published: January 2021

Introduction: School refusal is a common cause of chronically poor school attendance. The basis of school refusal behaviour can be grouped into the symptomatic and functional models, the operant conditioning model and the cognitive model. Objective: This paper is aimed to discuss the various systems and models which explain the school refusal behaviour. Method: An initial search of published literature in English Language was performed on the online databases including Google Scholar, Science Direct, EBSCOhost, and Proquest with the main keywords were School Refusal and Self–efficacy. Further sources were identified after consulting the original author for recommendations, and references within the literature retrieved in the initial search. Results: Out of 57 articles found, 41 were used in this review. Development and maintenance of school refusal involve heterogeneous risk factors and processes. The existing theoretical basis of school refusal behaviour can be grouped into symptomatic models, the operant conditioning model and the cognitive model. Conclusion: School refusal depicts a symptom, heralding the need for early intervention before development of a more pervasive mental health disorder. Where the problem had persisted for months to years, the child or adolescent would commonly present with coexisting anxiety or depressive disorders.

Authors: Pei Cheung Tian , Van Rostenberghe Hans , Mohd Yusoff Narazah , Ramli Noraida , Ibrahim Nor Rosidah , Nishio Hisahide , Yusoff Surini
Published: January 2021

Background: The low yield and quality of buccal-derived genomic DNA have reduced its applicability in various genetic research. The aim of this study was to assess the quantity, purity and genotyping efficiency of genomic DNA isolated from neonatal buccal swabs. Methods: Paired buccal swabs and whole blood samples were collected from 60 neonates with the mean age 5 days (SD=1.57). The genomic DNA quantity and purity were measured by using Infinite® 200 PRO NanoQuant reader and agarose gel electrophoresis. High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis was used to analyse the sequence variants present in uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1 c.211G>A) and nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group I, member 3 (NR1I3 IVS8+116T>G) genes. Results: Buccal swabs provided lower mean genomic DNA concentration (18.78 ± 8.39 ng/µl versus 40.02 ± 13.03 ng/µl), yield (2.63 ± 1.17 µg versus 8.00 ± 2.61 µg). The purity of buccal samples however were inconsistent with 16 samples (26.7%) having A260/280 ratios below 1.8 which indicated protein contamination. Genomic DNA purity for all blood samples were within the ideal range with average absorbance ratios of 1.8−2.0. However, all buccal genomic DNA demonstrated 100% genotype call rates for all variants. A complete genotype concordance was also observed between paired genomic DNA samples. Conclusion: Despite related to a reduced quantity and purity, neonatal buccal genomic DNA could generate reliable HRM genotyping results. Therefore, buccal swab collection is a promising alternative to the invasive blood sampling to provide genomic DNA for genetic analysis involving paediatric population.

It also includes preventive measures such as screening programmes and genetic counseling in order to contain the genetic transmission. At the moment, the only cure is through haematopoeitic stem cell transplant (HSCT). This report illustrates thalassaemia disease prevalence in the Terengganu state and the evolution of care since National Thalassaemia Programme was launched in 2009.
Reversal of Ketamine Induced Acute Delirium with Continuous Midazolam Infusion in a Post Extubation Child with Refractory Bronchospasm: A Case Report
Authors: Taib Fahisham , Ab Mukmin Laila
Published: January 2021

Continuous ketamine infusion has been used successfully to treat severe refractory bronchospasm in children requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care setting. One of the common side effects known is emergence delirium. There is no standardized treatment for the ketamine-induced emergence delirium although benzodiazepine, haloperidol and dexmedetomidine have been reported to be effective in the past. A 7-year-old girl admitted to a tertiary hospital for life-threatening asthma requiring immediate intubation and ventilation. Ketamine was used as sedative and bronchodilator in anticipation of her challenging ventilation strategy. She was successfully extubated on day 8 of admission, however, she developed symptoms associated with the delirium. Successful reversal of the symptoms was achieved after 48-hour use of low dose intravenous midazolam. This was the first case reported on the reversal of ketamine-induced emergence phenomenon using low dose intravenous midazolam infusion.

Purpose: We aim to describe the clinical profile and visual outcome of paediatric patients who underwent cataract surgery in a tertiary ophthalmology referral centre in West Malaysia from 2013 to 2018. Methods: This is a retrospective review of all paediatric patients who underwent cataract surgery in our centre from 2013-2018. Results: A total of 35 eyes from 23 patients were included. There were 10 (43.5%) female and 13 (56.5%) male patients. Twelve patients (24 eyes) had bilateral cataract while 11 patients had unilateral cataract. Sixteen (45.7%) eyes had congenital cataract, followed by ectopia lentis (n=10, 28.6%), traumatic cataract (n=8, 22.9%) and steroid induced cataract (n=1, 2.8%). Three types of intraocular lens (IOL) were implanted: which were posterior chamber IOL (n=22, 62.9%), iris claw IOL (n=12, 34.3%) and scleral-fixated IOL (n=1, 2.8%). Majority of eyes (n=28, 80%) had primary IOL implantation. Twenty-five (71.4%) eyes achieved best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 6/12 and better at 6 months post-IOL implantation. There was no statistically significant difference in the BCVA at 6 months post-IOL implantation among the different cataract aetiology, primary or secondary IOL implantation and types of IOL implant. Eight (22.9%) eyes developed post-operative complications, which included posterior capsular opacification (PCO) (n=6, 17.1%), IOL decentration (n=4, 11.4%) and glaucoma (n=1, 2.8%). Nineteen (82.6%) patients required glasses for visual rehabilitation. Conclusion: Majority of the paediatric cataract patients achieved BCVA of 6/12 or better at 6 months post-IOL implantation. The visual outcome among the different cataract aetiology, primary or secondary IOL implantation and types of IOL implanted were similar. PCO was the most common post-operative complication.

Authors: A. Elfekki Rasha , Samir Nesrin , Hafez Ouda Nadia , S. Hegab Asmaa
Published: February 2021

Background: Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) has been implicated in the
pathogenesis of acne vulgaris since the beginning of the last century. Over several
decades, topical and systemic antibiotics have been the main line of treatment for acne
vulgaris. However, in the present era of increased antibiotic usage, resistant strains have
emerged. Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the antibiotic resistance
pattern of P. acnes isolated from patients with acne vulgaris at the dermatology clinics
of Kasr Al-Ainy teaching Hospital. Methodology: Specimens from 100 patients with acne
vulgaris were extracted from the pustules, taken by sterile cotton swabs and transported
by thioglycolate media. Each swab was inoculated onto two blood agar plates, one
incubated aerobically at 37ºC for 24h and the other anaerobically for one week. P. acnes
was identified by Gram stain and biochemical tests. Their sensitivity to doxycycline,
erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, azithromycin and trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole was determined on Muller Hinton media by disc diffusion method.
Results were interpreted according to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory
Standards (NCCLS) guidelines. Results: A total of 44 P. acnes isolates were identified
from 100 patients with acne vulgaris, out of which 22.7% were resistant to clindamycin,
11.4% were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 9% were resistant to
erythromycin. Resistance to doxycycline, tetracycline or azithromycin was not detected.
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole showed statistically significant difference in the
resistance pattern compared to patient’s sex (p = 0.029) and to receiving previous
treatment (p = 0.018). Conclusion: P. acnes is prevalent in patients with acne vulgaris
(44%) and resistant strains are detected especially in those who have received previous
therapy for more than 2 weeks (68%). It is recommended that dermatologists and family
physicians follow the guidelines for proper management of acne, with the judicious use
of antibiotics, in order to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Authors: N. Thabet Asmaa , A. Hamed Ola , M. Esmat Mamdouh
Published: February 2021

Background: MRSA strains are now resistant many antibiotic groups, such as
tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, and lincosamides, and become difficult to treat.
Aminoglycosides are valuable antibiotics used for treatment of a variety of
staphylococcal infections. Objectives: The aim of this study is to detect aminoglycoside
resistance in various hospital acquired and community MRSA strain and to identify the
genetic basis of this resistance. Methodology: MRSA strains were isolated and identified
manually and VITEK 2 system, antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was tested by
VITEK 2 system and the MIC of various aminoglycosides was measured by E test.
Conventional PCR was used to detect the genes responsible for aminoglycoside
resistance among the isolates. Results: (33.3%) of CA- MRSA isolates were resistant to
Amikacin, (20.8%) to Kanamicin and (37.5%) to Gentamicin, while (65.8%) of HAMRSA strains were resistant to Amikacin, (73.7%) to Kanamycin and (71.1%) to
Gentamicin. the aac (6’)-Ie/aph (2”) gene was found in 58.3 % of the strains of CAIs and
in 68.4% of the strains of HAIs. There is no significant difference between HAIs and
CAIs harboring aac (6’)-Ie/aph (2”) gene (p value 0.419). While aph (3)-IIIa gene was
found in 45.8% of the strains of CAIs and in 44.7% of the strains of HAIs. Conclusion:
There was a non-significant difference between HAIs and CAIs harboring aph (3)-IIIa
gene (p value 0.933). It is important to control development of aminoglycosideresistance in MRSA strains and to monitor the potential developing of new
aminoglycoside resistant genes.
Impact of Low pH on Microbial Growth Rate, ATP Production, and NADH to NAD+ ratio
Authors: Enany Shymaa
Published: February 2021

Background: Bacterial metabolism is the tendency of bacteria to live, function, and
replicate fittingly under their current culture and varied environment conditions.
Microorganisms have intricated metabolic regulatory mechanisms to ameliorate
environmental stresses. Objectives: We examined the effect of acidic pH, as one of
stresses, on growth rate and metabolism of five different microorganisms. Methodology:
ATP level, as an indicator for microbial viability, and alterations in NADH/NAD+
ratio,
which plays a critical role in microbial metabolism, were assessed. Results: Our results
showed that alterations in pH influence metabolism of different bacterial species with
different extent. The growth rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and
Bacillus Subtilis were diminished with an elevation in ATP and NADH/NAD+
ratio at
low pH. Contrary, MRSA and MSSA showed trivial alterations for ATP and
NADH/NAD+
ratio. Conclusion: Ultimately, this study affirmed differences in
metabolism between different species and confirmed that alterations in pH influenced the
metabolism and hence the pathogenesis.
Responsabilidad del audioprotesista frente a la adaptación protésica del niño sordo
Authors: Bernal Zafra Sebastián
Published: January 2021

La misión del audioprotesista no se centra solo y exclusivamente en el acto material y físico de suministrar una prótesis auditiva. El audioprotesista tiene una gran responsabilidad en el proceso educativo del niño sordo puesto que de él depende que la reeducación y rehabilitación auditiva, foniátrica y logopédica se desarrolle de forma optima. El audioprotesista tiene que ser consciente que el desarrollo intelectual, y psicológico del niño sordo depende de él, en consecuencia si no tiene conocimientos especiales sobre los procesos y metodologías de adaptación, aun teniendo reconocidos sus derechos adquiridos en la venta de audífonos debería de abstenerse voluntariamente de suministrar las prótesis auditivas, con el consiguiente perjuicio económico-comercial que ello supone, pero hay que anteponer los derechos éticos y humanos del niño sordo a los beneficios crematísticos.

Authors: Ganz Sánchez Tanit , Dos Santos Ferrari Gisele Munhóes
Published: January 2021

El TRT se está instaurando ampliamente en distintos centros y proporcionando los mejores resultados en el alivio de los pacientes con acúfeno. En Brasil, dos hechos contribuyen a una “resistencia” a este método: la demora a que se empiece a percibir la ‘tan esperada’ mejora y la falta de conocimiento sobre el TRT. Nuestro objetivo es describir la experiencia con el TRT en Brasil, mostrando algunas adaptaciones del método oficial. Revisamos 161 archivos de pacientes con acúfeno que han empezado el TRT. El aná- lisis de los resultados se llevó acabo 12 meses después de la indicación del TRT separando a los pacientes en 3 grupos de acuerdo con la categoría y modo de tratamiento: a) categorías 1, 3 y 4 tratados con ‘sesiones de consejos más generadores de ruido de banda ancha’ (n=38): el acúfeno ha mejorado en el 73,3%; b) categorías 1, 3 y 4 que han rechazado los generadores de ruido y han recibido ‘sesiones de consejos más sonidos ambientales suaves’ (n=74): el acúfeno ha mejorado en el 80%; c) categoría 2 tratados con ‘sesiones de consejos, audífonos y sonidos ambientales suaves’ (n=49): solo 23 han estado de acuerdo en llevar audífonos, sin embargo 16 de ellos han presentado automáticamente enmascaramiento del acúfeno y han sido excluidos del resultado del TRT. En este estudio, los pacientes han demostrado una gran restricción en usar audífonos o generadores de ruido, así que los principios del TRT tuvieron que ser reforzados a través del uso de sonidos ambientales suaves. Aquellos que han seguido el protocolo del TRT han mostrado excelentes tasas de mejora del acúfeno.

Authors: Hernández Ching Ruth Cristina , Cordero Badilla Damaris
Published: January 2021

Se comparte la experiencia de una investigación mixta en un curso de inglés integrado I para otras carreras en una universidad pública costarricense mediante el uso de los avatares como estrategia lúdica para la enseñanza. Se aplican dos enfoques socio-cognitivistas comunicativos: la teoría genética de Piaget y la sociocultural de Vygotsky. Se pretende dar respuesta a la pregunta generadora: ¿Existe una incidencia con el uso de avatares para estimular la motivación intrínseca del estudiantado universitario en el proceso de enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera? Se trabajó con una población finita de 29 estudiantes, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 a 25 años, 15 mujeres y 14 varones. Se utilizaron como instrumentos de medición una rúbrica de criterios de coevaluación del recurso educativo multimedia, un cuestionario de prueba MAPE II de pregunta cerrada (Sí-No) y dos rúbricas de apropiación cognitiva, una antes y otra después de la aplicación de la propuesta. Aunque la experiencia no es representativa dada la cantidad de cursos del mismo nivel que se impartió durante el semestre, el experimento, a pequeña escala, demostró que los estudiantes incrementaron su nivel cognitivo del tema propuesto al trabajar con una estrategia tecnológica tal como VOKI y de manera grupal.

Based on data Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) in 2007, the people who had no or low physical activity reached 48.2 %. This condition contributes to increase number of metabolic disease cases such as: hypertension, heart disease, stroke and diabetes mellitus. Optimizing training approach especially aerobic type helps to counter metabolic diseases. Unfortunately, benefits of resistance training (RT) is less understood. RT improves muscle strength, induce muscle hypertrophy, improvement of local muscular performance, and also help to strenghtening body balance and coordination. There is interplay between training and hormone in muscle adaptation during resistance training. Hormone plays an important role in the regeneration of muscle after resistance training. The changes of hormone level cause hypertrophy. Regeneration and muscle hypertrophy are mediated by activation, proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells. It is regulated by mitotic and myogenic activity, namely insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), which serves as a paracrine or autocrine. Better understanding of homeostasis hormone during training in skeletal muscle and its ultimate purpose to counter metabolic disease will lead us to better treatment approach for the patient.

El ‘Full de la Cultura’ (1982-1983), de la ‘Hoja del Lunes’ de Barcelona, i els continguts sobre la llengua catalana
Authors: Casals i Martorell Daniel
Published: February 2021

L’objectiu del present article és donar a conèixer el Full de la Cultura i analit­zar els textos sobre la llengua catalana que l’esmentat suplement cultural de la Hoja del Lunes de Barcelona va fer públics. Els resultats de la investigació evidencien que el Full de la Cultura es va posar en marxa arran de l’arribada del periodista Josep Maria Cadena a la direcció del setmanari, va sortir entre el 7 de juny de 1982 i el 21 de febrer de 1983, i va ser elaborat per periodistes i escriptors sensibles a l’ús del català. Va afegir-se, així, a les publicacions que, durant la Transició, estaven escrites en aquest idioma, en aquest cas amb l’ob­jectiu de difondre continguts culturals d’actualitat, sobre literatura, drama­túrgia, música, arts plàstiques, filosofia i llengua. Així, el Full de la Cultura va continuar la tradició de la premsa de Catalunya a l’hora de dedicar espais a parlar de diferents aspectes de la llen­gua catalana com a contingut d’interès social: l’autoritat i el corpus normatius, la situació a l’ensenyament i als mitjans de comunicació, el model d’estàndard més adequat per a l’època, la correcció lingüística, trobades acadèmiques de prestigi, la sociolingüística i novetats bibliogràfiques.  Catalan Language Content in the Supplement ‘Full de la Cultura’ (1982-1983) of Barcelona’s Weekly Newspaper ‘Hoja del Lunes’ The objective of this paper is to raise awareness of the Full de la Cultura and analyze the texts about Catalan lan­guage made public by this cultural sup­plement to Barcelona’s Hoja del Lunes. The results of the research show that the Full de la Cultura was launched with the appointment of the journalist Josep Maria Cadena as the director of the weekly magazine, which was published between June 7, 1982 and February 21, 1983. It was produced by journalists and writers who were sen­sitive to the use of Catalan. Thus, this weekly became one of the publications during the Transition that were written in this language, with the aim of dis­seminating current cultural content re­lated to literature, drama, music, visual arts, philosophy and language. In this sense, the Full de la Cultura continued the Catalan press tradition of devoting space to discussing different aspects of the Catalan language as a type of con­tent of social interest, and addressed such issues as normative authority and standard corpuses, its position in both education and the media, the most ap­propriate standard model for the time, linguistic correction, prestigious aca­demic conferences, sociolinguistics and bibliographical novelties.

Los alumnos universitarios admiten que una de las herramientas que más utilizan en su vida diaria es la Wikipedia, una enciclopedia en línea que da libertad para que cualquier persona pueda editar su contenido. Consideran que esta es fiable y útil para sus consultas, pero sobre todo destacan que contiene datos actuales. A pesar de estos aspectos positivos, se considera que menos del 1% de los alumnos edita frecuentemente en ella para mejorar sus contenidos. Para conocer los motivos por los cuales no editan en ella, en esta investigación hemos implementado el método mixto secuencial, para obtener información de tres herramientas de obtención de datos como son los cuestionarios, los grupos de discusión y las entrevistas. Una vez analizadas las 1173 respuestas de los cuestionarios, realizamos un grupo de discusión con los alumnos de la Universidad de Barcelona y entrevistas a expertos editores en la Wikipedia, y se constató que solo el 0,38% edita frecuentemente o muy a menudo. Se expusieron varios motivos para no editar en ella, pero principalmente los alumnos indicaron que no se sentían capaces de aportar ningún tipo de información.   Why Don’t University Students Edit on Wikipedia? College students admit that one of the tools they use the most in their daily lives is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that gives anyone the freedom to edit its content. They consider that it is reliable and useful for their queries, but above all they believe that it contains current data. In spite of these positive aspects, it is considered that less than 1% of the students frequently edit it to improve its contents. In order to determine the reasons why they do not edit it, in this research we have implemented the sequential mixed method to obtain information from three data collection tools such as questionnaires, discussion groups and interviews. Once the 1,173 responses to the questionnaires had been analyzed, we carried out a discussion group with students from the University of Barcelona and interviews with expert editors on Wikipedia, and it was found that only 0.38% edited frequently or very often. Several reasons were given for not editing it, but mainly the students indicated that they did not feel capable of providing any type of information.   Key words: Wikipedia, Wikis, Web 2.0, university students, collaborative work.
