Comparison of data obtained personally during 1989-1996 with data for 2018-2021. The children were undergoing inpatient treatment in the maxillofacial surgery department of the IMSP Children’s Clinical Hospital „E. Cotsaga”. Clinical observations on 119 children with odontogenic cysts of the jaws served as material for this work. The children were undergoing inpatient treatment during the years 1989-1996 and 85 children were hospitalized during the years 2018-2021. In the diagnosis of odontogenic cysts of the jaws, traditional research methods were used: examination, palpation, radiography, puncture of the cyst cavity. For the diagnosis of medium and large cysts we used the ultrasonic research method. Computed tomography should be used in those cases, when the cyst is located in complicated anatomical regions and a clear radiographic image cannot be obtained, in situations where the interrelation with the causal tooth or suspicionin the existence of other neoformations cannot be established.In the districts with high indications of spread of cysts of the jaws during the rehabilitation of the oral cavity to draw attention to teeth IV and V. In the practice of the dentist to use the methods of ultrasound research and computed tomography.

Herpetic infection has a chronic character, characterized by periodic exacerbations. Occurs in children of different ages who have had an acute infection with the Herpes Simplex virus. The most important clinical sign of chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis is the typical, permanent localization of the lesions. Localization of lesion elements during relapse depends on the localization of lesion elements during primary infection. Children complain of pain in the area of lesions on the oral mucosa, which is aggravated by eating and speaking. Children suffering from chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis are taken under dispensary observation. The volume and frequency of therapeutic measures will depend on the severity of the disease.

Pancreatic trauma in children is rare in the context of abdominal trauma and difficult to diagnose, a delay in it can lead to complications such as: pseudocysts, peritonitis and endocrine or exocrine insufficiency, which are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Pseudocysts of the pancreas appear after an isolated or complex trauma, as a result of the ductoacrinary ruptures, with the extravasation of the pancreatic fluid in the retro-stomach cavity, the peripheral and visceral peritoneum. Recent studies show that 25% of pancreatic pseudocysts are traumatic in nature. The objectives of the surgical treatment are: complete evacuation of the contents of the pseudocyst, resection of the lips of the anterior wall with external drainage in children, unlike adults, where internal drainage is practiced, so an internal derivation on the loop. We present the cases of 3 patients examined and treated in the National Scientific-Practical Center for Pediatric Surgery „Natalia Gheorghiu” during 4 years (2018-2021). The evolution of the patients was favorable, due to the treatment tactics adapted to each individual case.

Published: December 2022

As a part of our collaboration with Ecole Polytechnique, France and Texas A M University, USA we are excited to be able to host an in-person seminar this year, which will also be broadcast online.

We cordially invite you to the talks which will feature world-renowned experts in biomedical optical imaging/light transport theory.

Introduction

Dr. Alexander Doronin is chairing the seminar and facilitating the panel discussion.

Recent advances in polarimetric imaging for tissue diagnosis

Optical polarization has proven its potential to for a fast and non-contact optical diagnosis of biological tissues in medical applications. We focus our studies on Mueller polarimetry – the optical technique that provides access to the complete set of polarimetric properties of a sample, including diattenuation, retardance and depolarization, which serve as the optical markers of tissue pathology. The recent advances in using custom-built imaging Mueller polarimeters operating in a visible wavelength range and based on the ferro-electric liquid crystals will be reported for a wide range of pre-clinical and clinical applications, including gastroenterology, gynecology and neurosurgery.

Why leave clinical decision making to machines

Machine learning will have many implications on how medical technologies are developed. This presentation will describe how biases and errors occur in clinical decision making, identify strategies developed and applied to address the causes of biases and errors and where data collection and analysis can potentially benefit health outcomes.

Seeing life in a new light: from simple classical physics to quantum-enhanced imaging

The progress of biomedical sciences depends on the availability of advanced instrumentation and imaging tools capable of attaining the state of biological systems in vivo without using exogenous markers. Mechanical forces and local elasticity play a central role in understanding physical interactions in all living systems. We demonstrate a novel way to image microscopic viscoelastic properties of biological systems using Brillouin microspectroscopy. In my talk, I will discuss the ways how an old spectroscopic tool can be used for real time microscopy and provide possible solutions to long standing problems in Life Sciences and Medicine while advancing instrumentation beyond classical limits.

Objective: To analyze nursing professionals’ reports on their lived experience in the care provided to hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: This is an exploratory study using a qualitative analysis, which included twelve nurses and eight nursing technicians from a public hospital in Brazil, conducted between December 2020 and February 2021. The inclusion criteria were professionals who provided care to COVID-19 patients in emergency, intensive care, and inpatient units and who had at least one year of experience in the institution. The interviews were analyzed through content and similarity analysis that generated a similarity tree; the Reinert method was used for thematic categories. Results: Most participants were female, with a mean age of 34.15 years and 4.85 years of experience. From the analysis, the words ‘patient,’ ‘to stay,’ and ‘to find’ were the most frequent, and for the categories, they were “nursing professionals’ feelings regarding the pandemic,” “the nurses’ role and work with the multi-professional team in the care provided to patients with COVID-19,” “precautions with the care provided to patients with COVID-19,” and “nursing professionals’ concern that their family members may become ill during the pandemic.” Conclusions: The nursing staff is predominantly composed of females and, in their reports on the lived experience of providing care to patients with COVID-19, they pointed out that concern and fear were prevalent, with the family being one of the protective factors to withstand the risks of working against something novel that may result in death.

Published: December 2022

Aim: This research was conducted to determine whether physical activity had an effect on the levels of depression and psychological well-being. Material and Method: In this research, the single group pre-test post-test model which is one of the trial models was used for the purpose of determining the causal relationship. The study group is composed of 43 sedentary volunteer students (nMales = 9, nFemales = 34; age 20.86±1.04 years) pursuing their education at the Emergency Medical Technician Program in the Vocational School of Health Services at the Kırşehir Ahi Evran University. The heights and body weights of the study group are measured and they are asked to fill out the “Personal Identification Form”. The 10-week physical activity program was explained to the students. For the purpose of determining their levels of depression before and after the physical activity, the “Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)” was used, and to measure their psychological development, the “Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS)” was used. The descriptive statistics were provided. Later on, the normality assumption was checked out. In the consequence of this assumption, the researcher decided to conduct the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The data is tested at the level of significance of α = 0.05. The researcher obtained permission from both the related institution and the ethical board. Results: The BDI pre-test results of the students indicate that the male students had minimal level of depression (0-9) and the female students had slight level of depression (10-16). In terms of the study group, while the students were found to have slight level of depression in terms of their BDI pre-test scores, it was observed that the students had minimal level of depression in terms of their post-test scores. At the same time, the scores of the pre-test and post-test PWBS score increased from 49.89 to 53.33 for males, and from 41.94 to 43.94 for females. In sum, those scores increased from 43.60 to 45.91. A significant difference (p < 0.05) in both BDI and PWBS between the pre-test and post-test was observed. While the depression levels of the students decreased, their psychological well-being levels increased. Conclusion and Suggestions: The 10-week physical activity program caused an improvement both at the levels of depression and psychological well-being. Therefore, sparing some time for physical activity is suggested for our psychological health on a daily basis. Do not forget: “physical activity is going to benefit people”.

Published: December 2022

Objectives: To assess the safety and effectiveness of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in paediatric age patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive case series study was conducted in the Department of Paediatric Urology, Institute of Kidney Diseases, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, Pakistan from June 2017 to June 2020. Children < 14 years, diagnosed with renal stone > 1cm in size on non-contrast CT of Kidney Ureter and Urinary Bladder (KUB) and having negative urine culture were enrolled in the study. Patients having abnormal renal functions and bleeding diathesis were omitted from the study. Informed written consent was taken from the parents of all the children. Children with no stone fragments in the kidney or ipsilateral ureter on non-contrast CT KUB at one month were labelled as stone free. Results: A total of 213 children who underwent mini-PCNL were analyzed. 130 (61.03%) of the stones were 10-15 mm and 83 (38.97%) were > 15 mm in size. The mean operation time was 56.02 + 7.82 (40-81) minutes .The mean hospital stay was 2.22 + 0.67 (2-7) days. The mean decrease in haemoglobin was 1.30 + 0.67 (0.2-4.0) gm/dL. No major intraoperative complication was observed. 24 (11.27%) of the patients developed post-operative complications including 10.33 % minor and 0.94 % major complications which were statistically insignificant. As a monotherapy mini-PCNL achieved complete stone clearance at one month in 191 (89.67%) of the patients. Retreatment was required in 22 (10.33%) of the patients including extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in 7 (3.29%), ureteroscopy (URS) in 10 (4.69%) and Re-PCNL in 5 (2.35%) patients. Conclusion: This study concludes that mini-PCNL in a paediatric population is safe and effective for renal stones > 10 mm with acceptable stone clearance and complications.

Published: December 2022

Objectives: The study was designed to identify predictor variables of the hospitalized patient’s primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for MI needing mechanical support systems including some intra-aortic balloon-pumping and percutaneous cardiopulmonary. However, these predictors are still unknown. Place and Duration: The research was carried out at National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease with the duration from 5th September 2021 to 5th March 2022. Methodology: Clinical history, angiographic research results, primary PCI outcomes, as well as in hospital prognosis were retroactively evaluated by comparing primary PCI treated acute myocardial infarction patients needing mechanical aid devices (with intra-aortic balloon pump patient populations, n=550) versus those without (IABP patients, n=755). In comparison to individuals without IABP, those with intra-aortic balloon pump were much more inclined to have a greater proportion of diseased vessels, a lower TIMI score in the infarct related artery (IRA), and a considerably high death rate of hospitalized patients. On multivariate analysis, possession of Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction greater than or equal to 3 flow in the infarct-related artery right after PPCI was the poor indicator in the without intra-aortic balloon pump patients, in contrast to the patients with IABP. The percentage of diseased vessels or diseased left main trunk at preliminary cardiac catheterization was the impartial predictive factor of the hospitalized patient’s fatalities in the sufferers with IABP, but not in the sufferers without intra-aortic balloon pump. Results: A significant risk factor for fatality in hospitalized patients in PPCI-treated acute myocardial infarction patients needing mechanical assistance devices is the proportion of diseased vessels ≥ 2 or diseased left main trunk at baseline CAG.

Study Design: Randomized Control Trial Place and Duration: In the department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar for the duration from January 2021 to December 2021. Methods: Total 116 pregnant women had age 20-48 years were included. All the patients were admitted to hospital and underwent for c-section. We have taken informed written consent of all females for detailed demographics included age, BMI, gestational age and parity. Patients were equally divided in two different groups. Group I received prophylactic antibiotic (Cefazolin 1g) and group II received cefuroxime 750 mg. Post-operatively outcomes were compared in terms of surgical site infection, hospitalization and other adverse events among both groups. SPSS 20.0 was used to analyze all data. Results: Among 116 cases, 58 (50%) females had age 20-30 years, 39 (33.6%) were aged between 31-40 years and 19 (16.4%) had age 41-48 years. 70 (60.3%) cases had BMI >25kg/m2 and 46 (39.7%) had BMI <25kg/m2. Majority of the cases 67 (57.8%) were emergency c-sections and 49 (42.2%) were elective cases. Mean gestational age of the females in group I was 37.2±11.91 weeks and in group II was 36.11±8.45 weeks. Mean parity in group I was 2.7±4.13 and in group II was 1.9±6.8.We found that frequency of SSI was lower in group I 3 (5.2%) as compared to group II in 7 (12.1%). Mean hospitalization in group I was lower 3.6±4.16 days as compared to group II 7.5±6.17 days. Febrile illness and endometritis was also higher in group II with p value <0.04. Conclusion: We concluded in this study that prophylactic antibiotic was affective and useful among patients undergoing c-section in terms of minimum SSI, hospital stay and adverse events as compared to regular antibiotics.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: A transient occurrence of signs and symptoms brought on by excessive abnormal neuronal or synchronous activity in the brain is known as an epileptic seizure. By way of onset, seizures can be classified as focal, generalized, unknown, or unclassifiable. An underlying structural abnormality can cause focal seizures in the brain. Among these, the temporal lobe is the most prevalent, but there may be alterations in the frontal, occipital, and parietal lobes. The objective of this case report is to contribute to the knowledge of the multiple symptoms of patients with parietal lobe seizures.

Case Report: The report is about parietal aura, diagnosed in the patient J.F.R., a 45-year-old male, and reported his first seizure in 2017. The patient said the increasing onset of the condition leads to significant body image disorders (the representation of the child during eye contact is similar to that of a monster). A limb or a body side may also appear heavier, more significant, absent, or separate from the rest of the body. The postictal period was slow, and full consciousness and correct body image emerged insidiously.

Conclusion: In the evaluation, it is essential to value not only the main complaint but also the entire psychic context, cognitive function, and interpersonal and social relationships since these aspects can affect the quality of life of these patients and their integration into the social environment.

Authors: Patmawati Desi , Miswanto Miswanto
Published: December 2022

This research focuses on the influence of social media influencers on purchase intention which is mediated by brand awareness. The use of an influencer has indeed been proven to be effective in creating consumer awareness and influencing their purchase intention towards a brand. The impact caused by using influencers to advertise on social media is to attract attention and create awareness among their fans, so that it is expected to increase purchase intention for the advertised product. To prove this, the researchers used a research sample with respondents who are active social media users who often see influencers advertising a product on social media. The number of participants in this study were 210 people.
This study used several software for data processing and data testing, namely IBM SPSS Statistics version 15 to test validity and reliability, IBM AMOS version 22 for hypothesis testing, and Sobel test for mediation tests. Data collection started in August 2021 and continued with data processing. Based on the results obtained, of the four proposed hypotheses, all hypotheses are accepted. Social media influencers have proven to have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention, and the effect will be even stronger when mediated by brand awareness. This proves, the presence of an influencer who advertises a brand on social media has proven effective in attracting attention to creating awareness among social media users, especially among their followers. Further results, consumer awareness of a brand after being advertised by this influencer has proven effective in increasing the level of consumer purchase intention because the results have proven significant. That is, when a consumer is aware, he will most likely seek further information so as to enable him to have a purchase intention, either at that time or in the future.

Authors: Ledwoń Paulina
Published: December 2022

The aim of this article is to present the problem of acquisition (including cross-border acquisition) of agricultural real estates and agricultural holdings in the Republic of Poland, with particular empha- sis on the issue of regulating the acquisition of agricultural real estates as an instrument for the protection of family farms. By analyzing current legislation, jurisprudence, and doctrine, the author tries to discern the key issues in the field of agricultural law. Starting from fundamental notions on which the whole article is based, such as real estate, agricultural real estate (land), agricultural holding, individual farmer, and family holding, the author proceeds to detail issues concerning the acquisition of ownership of agricultural land (holdings), including inheritance, acquisition of other rights on agricultural land, establishment of a bonding relation in the form of a lease of agricultural land, and acquisition of shares (stocks) in companies that own agricultural land. Next, the author presents the constitutional norm of the agricultural system of the Polish state and attempts to answer the question of whether the Commission proceedings have been initiated against Poland in connec- tion with the breach of obligations. In conclusion, the author concludes that a considerable part of the issues taken up by the European Commission in the Interpretative Communication touches upon the Polish legal instruments of agricultural law.

Growth and hydrogen production by Chlorella vulgaris Pa-023 under sulfur and nitrogen deprivation
Authors: Manoyan J. G.
Published: December 2022

The photodependent production of hydrogen (H2) as a promising source of renewable energy is currently of great interest. Green algae carry out photoproduction of H2 associated with electron transport during photosynthesis and catalyzed by [Fe]-hydrogenase, which is sensitive to oxygen and is inactivated by water photolysis. The issue of incompatibility between water photolysis and hydrogenase can be solved by creating deprivation of nutrients such as nitrogen and sulfur. The results have shown that H2 generation by Chlorella vulgaris Pa-023 is stimulated 2.5 times by sulfur deprivation and 2.7 times by nitrogen deprivation compared to algae grown on a complete Tamiya medium. The use of a specific inhibitor of PS II, DCMU (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea), demonstrated that during nutrient deprivation in algae operates a PS II-dependent pathway of H2 generation. Thus, sulfur and nitrogen deprivation stimulates photoproduction of H2 by C. vulgaris.

The study aimed to determine the prevalence and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance pattern of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from food products and food handlers at different retail outlets and superstores in Alexandria city, Egypt. A total of 100 food products including raw milk, Damietta cheese, beef burger, sausage, and chicken pane (20 of each) as well as 100 hand swabs were randomly collected from 100 food handlers and screened for the presence of MRSA using MRSA selective agar medium. MRSA isolate was confirmed from each nuc /mecA PCR-positive sample. The overall prevalence rate of MRSA in food products and food handlers was 12% and 5%, respectively. Concerning the food products samples, the highest rate of isolation was recorded in the examined samples of beef burger (20%), followed by sausage (15%) then raw milk and chicken pane (10%) and finally Damietta cheese (5%). The antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the 12 MRSA isolates from food products samples clarified that all (100%) MRSA isolates showed resistance to Cefoxitin and Penicillin G. On the contrary, 100% of the isolates were sensitive to Ceftaroline and Linezolid. Regarding food handlers, prevalence rate was 5.3% in males and 4.2% in females. The phenotypic antimicrobial resistance pattern of the 5 MRSA isolates from food handlers revealed that all (100%) MRSA isolates exhibited resistance to Cefoxitin and Penicillin G. Conversely, 100% of the isolates were sensitive to Ceftaroline and Linezolid. The results of the current study suggest that raw food products may have been contaminated with MDR MRSA strains which could be a potential public health risk. Moreover, these findings unequivocally show the need for enhanced hygiene standards to minimize the risk of occupational and food-borne illness associated with handling and/or consuming raw animal food products harboring MRSA.
CAROTID ARTERY PSEUDOANEURYSM FOLLOWING DIALYSIS LINE INSERTION- FATAL BUT AN AVOIDABLE COMPLICATION – a case report
Authors: Kumar DrSathish , sayyed DrAzhar
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:
Carotid artery pseudoaneurysm due to accidental arterial puncture during internal jugular vein line insertion is a fatal as well as an avoidable complication if done in a proper way .

CASE PRESENTATION:
We report a case of right carotid artery pseudoaneurysm following right internal jugular vein cannulation . A 43-year gentleman, chronic kidney disease stage 5, on maintenance hemodialysis, developed a pulsatile swelling of the neck six days after a Central venous catheter placement in the right internal jugular vein, which was later diagnosed to be a pseudoaneurysm of the right common carotid artery. Surgical repair of the pseudoaneurysm was done .

CONCLUSIONS
Arterial complications are unavoidable however good the technique of central line insertion might be . However , a correct technique along with ultrasound guidance may reduce the incidence of arterial injury and its fatal complications during central line placement .
Comparison of Intra-abdominal pressure monitoring vs APACHE-II and Ranson’s scoring in predicting the outcome of Acute Pancreatitis

Introduction:
Intra-abdominal pressure is important risk factor for predicting mortality and morbidity in the early phase of acute pancreatitis. World Society on the abdominal compartment syndrome defines Intra-abdominal hypertension as a sustained increase in pressure above 12 mm of Hg and abdominal compartment syndrome is a sustained increase in intra-abdominal pressure above 20 mm of Hg with new onset organ failure. However, even values of lower than 15 mm of Hg may cause organ dysfunction.
Material and Methods:
Intra-abdominal pressure was indirectly determined by measuring urinary bladder pressure with a 16 gauge Foley’s catheter in situ. The bladder was drained completely and the tubing of the collecting bag was clamped and then the catheter will be connected to a saline manometer. Intra-abdominal pressure was measured on day 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th after controlling the severe pain by analgesics.
Result:
In our study 50 patient of acute pancreatitis was taken. Patient was categorized in low risk and high risk group according to Ranson’s, APACHE and IAP criteria. It was observed that there is a positive correlation between IAP with APACHE and Ranson’s score, positive predictive value for assessment of mortality (4%), Ranson’s (4%), APACHE scoring (4%). It was observed that as the grade of Ranson’s and APACHE increases in patients of acute pancreatitis, IAP also increases. Similarly for morbidity most of the local complication occurs in moderate to severe grade of IAP 1st day (>15 mm), severe grade of APACHE score (>13) and severe grade of Ranson’s score (>3). Common systemic complication were gastrointestinal (98%), circulatory (52%), respiratory (68%), metabolic (56%), renal (24%), MODS (10%), ARDS (8%), DIC (4%). Most of the systemic complication occurs in moderate to severe grade of IAP 1st day (>15), severe grade of APACHE score (>8) and severe grade of Ranson’s score (>3).
Conclusion:
IAP measurement is cheap, easy, bedside, minimally invasive prognostic modality, cheaper alternative to Ranson’s and APACHE scoring. Early IAP monitoring can be very useful in assessment of mild to severe acute pancreatitis, hospital stay, determines local and systemic complication.

The intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii causes toxoplasmosis. Numerous physiological abnormalities are documented in toxoplasmosis-infected women. This study aims to demonstrate the connection between cyclophilins, the phospholipase enzyme, and latent toxoplasmosis. About 250 samples from women with infertility were infected with Toxoplasma gondii overall (24%) Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay was utilized to evaluate the levels of phospholipase and cyclophilin, while automated VIDAS family instruments were employed to determine the qualitative and quantitative anti-Toxoplasma-IgG-tests (ELISA). Since there was a substantial difference in the statistical analysis and a significant difference in the cyclophilin protein, parasite infection changed the quantity of the enzyme phospholipase. This study put forth the theory that toxoplasmosis infection.
