The relationship between the characteristics of Ethnic Identity and Psychosemantic Characteristics of Experiencing (‘Perezhivanie’) Interethnic Relations of Palestinian Muslims in the multinational Levant Region
Authors: Fakhrutdinova L. F. , Shauamri S. T. M.
Published: January 2022

This paper presents the results of analyzing the psychological patterns of the development of ethnic identity and interethnic relations in the multinational Levant Region, where interethnic confrontation between Palestinians and Israelis has been noted in recent years. The main aim of the research is to reveal the relationship between the characteristics of Ethnic Identity and the Experience (“perezhivanie”) of Interethnic Relations of Palestinian Muslims in the multicultural Levant Region. In the process of investigating into ethnic self-awareness the authors used the Leary Test, the Semantic Diff erential of “Perezhivanie” ‘Experiencing’ Questionnaire by L.R. Fakhrutdinova aimed at studying the psychosemantic characteristics of the “perezhivanie” ‘experiencing’. The research has displayed that Ethnic Identity is a self-developing phenomenon, basically infl uenced by both the infrastructural relations and positions of ethnic self-awareness, and the processes associated with the relations of ethnic self-awareness with the external environment, with other ethnic groups. The most active points of development have been identifi ed. So, in intrastructural relations, they are active as ratios of I-real and I-mirror with a stronger position of I-ideal, since practically all dimensions of I-real and I-ideal (dominance, egoism, suspicion, etc.) have shown signifi cant diff erences that testify to the points and directions of development of ethnic self-awareness; positions in the relationship between the real self and the mirror self also exerted an active infl uence. The points of confl ict of the structures of ethnic self-consciousness were found, where, when the points of development coincided, the direction of development was diff erent. Thus, suspicion, obedience, dependence, friendliness, integrative indicators of dominance and friendliness have shown themselves to be confl ict points refl ecting confl ict zones between the infl uence of an external ethnic group (mirror self) and self-development processes manifested through the ideal self. In the situation of relations with the external environment, the most active was shown by the self-mirror, which infl uences the development of the subjectivity of the ethnic group through the components of the experience of the Palestinian-Israeli crisis. The infl uence of the real self on the characteristics of the “perezhivanie” ‘experiencing’ of the PalestinianIsraeli crisis was also manifested, and therefore, through the components of the “perezhivanie” ‘experiencing’ of this impression on the development of the self-awareness of the ethnic group.

Published: January 2022

A third order parallel algorithm is proposed to solve one dimensional non-homogenous heat equation with integral boundary conditions. For this purpose, we approximate the space derivative by third order finite difference approximation. This parallel splitting technique is combined with Simpson's 1/3 rule to tackle the nonlocal part of this problem. The algorithm develop here is tested on two model problems. We conclude that our method provides better accuracy due to availability of real arithmetic.

Is there a rural penalty in language acquisition? Evidence from Germany’s refugee allocation policy
Authors: Khalil Samir , Tjaden Jasper , Kohler Ulrich
Published: January 2022

Emerging evidence has highlighted the important role of local contexts on integration trajectories of asylum seekers and refugees. Germany’s policy of randomly allocating asylum seekers across Germany may advantage some and disadvantage others in terms of opportunities for equal participation in society. This study explores the question whether asylum seekers that have been allocated to rural areas experience disadvantages in terms of language acquisition compared to those allocated to urban areas. We derive testable assumptions using a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) which are then tested using large-N survey data (IAB-BAMF-SOEP refugee survey). We find that living in a rural area has no negative total effect on language skills. Further the findings suggest that the ‘null effect’ is the result of two processes which offset each other: while asylum seekers in rural areas have slightly lower access for formal, federally organized language courses, they have more regular exposure to German speakers.
Actively Open-Minded Thinking, Bullshit Receptivity, and Susceptibility to Framing: Evaluating the Dual-Process Account in North America and Bulgaria
Authors: Rachev Nikolay R. , Geiger Sandra Jeanette , Vintr Jáchym , Kirilova Desislava Kirilova , Nabutovsky Anna , Nelsson Joakim
Published: January 2022

The framing effect occurs when different presentations of the same problem lead to predictably different preferences. The dual-process framework of higher cognition assumes that the effect violates rational principles, but alternative accounts and recent evidence have contested this interpretation. Contributing to this debate, we tested the dual-process assumption by investigating associations between susceptibility to framing and the willingness and ability to think in line with rational norms, conceptualized as actively open-minded thinking and pseudo-profound bullshit receptivity. We conducted two online studies among North American (N = 259) and Bulgarian (N = 248) university students and administered several framing problems within subjects, presumably a necessary condition for the associations to appear. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that susceptibility to framing was associated with decreased actively open-minded thinking and increased bullshit receptivity in both sites. Exploratory multi-group analyses demonstrated partial strong invariance and showed that the findings generalize across both sites in terms of direction and partially in terms of magnitude. These results broadly support the dual-process account of the framing effect. Our study further contributes to adapting existing measures to a novel setting and expanding the findings across borders and populations.
Factors influencing the update of beliefs regarding controversial political issues
Authors: Kube Tobias
Published: January 2022

When updating beliefs in light of new information, people preferentially integrate information that is consistent with their prior beliefs and helps them construe a coherent view of the world. Such a selective integration of new information likely contributes to belief polarisation and compromises public discourse. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the factors that underlie biased belief updating. To this end, I conducted three pre-registered experiments covering different controversial political issues (i.e., Experiment 1: climate change, Experiment 2: speed limit on highways, Experiment 3: immigration in relation to violent crime). The main hypothesis was that negative reappraisal of new information (referred to as “cognitive immunisation”) hinders belief updating. Support for this hypothesis was found only in Experiment 2. In all experiments, the magnitude of the prediction error (i.e., the discrepancy between prior beliefs and new information) was strongly related to belief updating. Across experiments, participants’ general attitudes regarding the respective issue influenced the strength of beliefs, but not their update. The present findings provide some indication that the engagement in cognitive immunisation can lead to the maintenance of beliefs despite disconfirming information. However, by far the largest association with belief updating was with the magnitude of the prediction error.
The Role of Stimuli Perceptibility in Learning and Generalization of Phonological Patterns
Authors: Finley Sara
Published: January 2022

Phonological patterns tend to be restrictive, often only applying to a subset of sounds in the language (e.g., height harmony applying only to front vowels). When given a limited input, what factors do learners use to determine if a novel sound participates in a phonological process? In two artificial language learning experiments, adult participants were exposed to a metathesis pattern where two stop consonants (from a six-consonant inventory) switched places with the fricative /f/ (e.g., /ep/ + /fu/ [efpu]), and were then tested on all six consonants. Participants who were only exposed to voiced or voiceless segments showed robust generalization, but participants exposed to only velar or only labial segments showed weaker generalization. In Experiment 2, a perception task revealed a significant correlation between perceptibility of the exposure items and generalization to novel consonants. These results support theories of phonology that are informed by phonetic properties of speech sounds.

Migration in the Human Rights Context
Authors: Gałkowski Tomasz
Published: January 2022

The phenomenon of migration concerns 3.3% of the general population living in the world and its number is still increasing. In order to stop migration measures are taken, which are largely against human rights to migration. The right to migration itself is denied. The activities that aim to restrict the right and not to regulate it become an alarming tendency. As a category of mixed rights, whose title is in the human nature (dignity), measure is positive regulation of exercising these rights as its internal element.
Cross-Border Flow of Personal Data in the Context of Emigration of the Faithful of the Catholic Church from Poland
Authors: Kroczek Piotr
Published: January 2022

The increased emigration of Poles has caused numerous problems of legal and canonical nature, also relating to the activity of the Catholic Church. The article concerns the cross-border processing of personal data carried out by the Catholic Church entities in the context of the emigration of the faithful. Processing of the data of believers takes place, for example, in the formalities related to preparation for entering marriage. From the point of view of canon law the article deals with such issues as: the legality of the process of cross-border data processing, the obligations of the data controller carrying out such a process and the role of the supervisory authority.

Decentralization in France: Plus ça change … ?
Authors: Godt Paul J.
Published: January 2022

Introduced as one of the Socialists’ showcase reforms, the “grande affaire du septennat” in the words of Prime Minister Mauroy, decentralization was hailed as a profound restructuring of center-periphery relations in France, liberating local officials from the overbearing authoritarian control traditionally exercised by the national government. Thus far, 21 laws and 185 decrees have been adopted and countless circulars made public. The avalanche of texts has given rise to a growing literature analyzing the perspectives opened up by the reforms. But three years’ experience has also accumulated, and this paper seeks to assess the changes that have taken place.
Correction of electrolyte balance in surgical patients with urgent surgical interventions
Authors: Bignyak P. I.
Published: January 2022

Annotation. Acute appendicitis is one of the most common acute pathologies of the abdominal cavity, which requires immediate surgical intervention and can lead to water-electrolyte imbalance. The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical significance of electrolyte imbalance in patients operated on for acute appendicitis and their correction. We examined 20 urgent surgical patients who were part of the control group and received “traditional” postoperative therapy and 23 patients of the study group who received oral rehydration therapy in the postoperative period to correct water-electrolyte disorders. To analyze the results of the study, profile analysis was used as a modification of multidimensional covariance analysis with repeated measurements. As can be seen from the results of testing the hypothesis of normalization of homeostasis due to the use of oral rehydration therapy schemes, the hypothesis was confirmed with a threshold significance of p=0.0642. The only significant effect of the rate of normalization of potassium concentration in blood plasma is the appointment of oral rehydration therapy with p=0.045. Also, the appointment of oral rehydration therapy is a significant effect of the rate of normalization of sodium and glucose in plasma (normalization of plasma glucose is significantly better in the dynamics of younger patients (p=0.045)). Thus, normalization of potassium and glucose, which correlates with the patient's age, was better in patients receiving oral rehydration mixture in the postoperative period than in patients receiving “traditional” postoperative therapy. Oral rehydration therapy is an acceptable alternative to infusion therapy in patients undergoing surgery for acute appendicitis in the postoperative period.

Authors: Zub V. O.
Published: January 2022

Annotation. Oncological disorders remain one of the most important medical, biological and economic problems in the world. The aim of the study is to analyze the indicators of morbidity and mortality of the population of Ukraine from oncological pathologies in their distribution by nosological forms. The study was conducted on the basis of data analysis of the National Cancer Registry of Ukraine over a ten-year period: from 2010 to 2019. Statistical methods (analysis of relative values, calculation of growth rate), structural-logical analysis and system approach are used. Statistical calculations were performed using RStudio v. 1.1.442 and R Commander v.2.4-4. The study revealed that the main form of morbidity and mortality in women are malignant neoplasms of the breast, while in men it is malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchi, lungs, and in children aged 0−17 − leukemia and malignant tumors of the brain. An increase in morbidity and mortality due to malignant neoplasms of the prostate in men, malignant neoplasms of the uterine body in women and malignant neoplasms of the pancreas in the general population of Ukraine has been noted. The highest degree of neglect is observed in patients diagnosed with malignant neoplasms of the stomach (32,2-38,2%), malignant neoplasms of the pancreas (30,8-37,9%), malignant pharyngeal neoplasms (27,6-39%), malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchi, lungs (27,3-37,9%) and malignant neoplasms of the liver (27,9-35,9%). Only one in two patients diagnosed with malignant neoplasms of the esophagus (50,2-56%), malignant neoplasms of the stomach (44,3-47,6%), malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchi, lungs (40,8-43,7%), one in four patients with malignant pancreatic neoplasms (25,7-28,7%) and one in five patients with malignant liver neoplasms (17,7-19,8%) received special antitumor treatment within a year of diagnosis. The highest mortality rate up to one year is characteristic of individuals with malignant neoplasms of the pancreas and malignant neoplasms of the liver: 70,2-77,8% and 69-77,7%, respectively. The results of the study are the basis for the development and improvement of measures to combat the prevalence of certain nosological forms of oncological pathologies and reduce mortality caused by a specific pathology.
Analysis of a modular approach in the formation of medical rapid response units at level II medical care of NATO Allies
Authors: Moskaliuk O. V.
Published: January 2022

Annotation. The article highlights the current state of the structural construction of level 2 rapid response units for the medical service of the NATO Alliance. The relevance of this analysis is due to the fact that Ukraine's active course in cooperation with NATO allies requires the creation of a different model for the construction of medical forces units to create compliance. The non-compliance of these units prevents the possible use of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine within NATO allies. Today, there is an urgent need to analyze the modern construction of NATO Alliance medical units and further reform the medical units of the 20th level of medical care of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The purpose of this study was to analyze the medical support of NATO allies and a modular approach to the creation of medical units at the second level of medical care by forming separate functional components – medical modules. The analysis of medical rapid response units of level 2 medical care of NATO allies and their components is carried out. It was established that the use of a modular approach to the formation of medical rapid response units at the second level of medical care provides an opportunity to form the structure of the unit depending on the operational situation and the needs for medical care. It should also be noted that the "flexible" formation of the structure of the medical unit allows rational use of human resources and property in conditions of armed conflict.
Osteoporotic changes in bone and cartilaginous tissue in women with ovarian hypofunction
Authors: Pylypchuk I. S.
Published: January 2022

Annotation. Osteoporosis is the most common disease of the musculoskeletal system, which ranks 4th in the world as a cause of disability and mortality among non-communicable diseases. This is a polyetiological systemic disease of bone tissue, characterized by a decrease in bone mass and deterioration of bone structure and increased fragility. This problem has not only a medical aspect, but also important socio-economic significance in all countries of the world due to the high cost of treatment of such patients and high disability. The aim of the work is to study and analyze the scientific literature and give a generalized description of etiological factors, pathogenesis, primary and secondary methods of prevention of osteoporosis in women with ovarian hypofunction in the pre- and menopausal periods. An analysis of recent research and publications on the problem of osteoporosis and changes in the skeletal system. The main risk factors, etiology and pathogenesis of osteoporosis in the pre- and menopausal period of a woman's life are determined, the main methods of prevention of osteoporosis are described. The most common form of primary osteoporosis is postmenopausal osteoporosis, the trigger of which is hypogonadal states, estrogen deficiency, which causes a sharp acceleration of bone loss. I guarantee healthy bone tissue and prevention of osteopenia and osteoporosis are: accumulation of bone mass in the first 30 years, mechanical stress contributes to the restructuring and remodeling of bone tissue throughout life, timely and early compensation of hypogonadal conditions, improvement of blood flow, improvement of blood flow stability of mineral metabolism and hormonal background. Not all women with hypogonadal condition develop osteoporosis, so studying the use of methods to prevent osteopenia and strengthen bone tissue from a young age is the basis of quality life of modern women at any time in her life in the XXI century, so it needs further study.

The theory of embedding of spaces of differentiable functions studies the important relations of differential (smoothness) properties of functions in various metrics and has a wide application in the theory of boundary value problems of mathematical physics, approximation theory, and other fields of mathematics. In this article, we prove the embedding theorems for anisotropic spaces Nikol’skii-Besov with a generalized mixed smoothness and mixed metric, and anisotropic Lorentz spaces. The proofs of the obtained results are based on the inequality of different metrics for trigonometric polynomials in Lebesgue spaces with mixed metrics and interpolation properties of the corresponding spaces.

We consider some initial boundary value problems for the Burgers equation in a rectangular domain, which in a sense can be taken as a model one. The fact is that such a problem often arises when studying the Burgers equation in domains with moving boundaries. Using the methods of functional analysis, priori estimates, and Faedo-Galerkin in Sobolev spaces and in a rectangular domain, we show the correctness of the initial boundary value problem for the Burgers equation with nonlinear boundary conditions of the Neumann type.

Published: January 2022

Acquired factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency can result in life-long bleeding tendency and can be caused by enhanced consumption, impaired synthesis, or as an immune-mediated process. The latter can be related with solid neoplasms, through neutralizing or non-neutralizing antibodies. The relationship between FXIII activity and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not well established. This case report is about a patient with NSCLC and acquired FXIII deficiency. Materials and Methods: Clinical records were obtained through the electronic process analysis, and the confidentiality of the patient was always assured. Results and Discussion: A 70-year-old male with no relevant past medical history and a recently diagnosed metastatic NSCLC was admitted for priapism. Five days later, a he developed a bleeding disorder, with slightly elevated coagulation times and normal fibrinogen levels and platelets count. FXIII level was found to be decreased (0.24 IU/mL) and FXIII plasma mixing studies did not confirm the presence of a neutralizing inhibitor. The FXIII level correction with standard plasma mixing studies was in favour of a non-neutralizing antibody. Despite treatment, haemorrhage control was not achieved and the patient died. Conclusion: This clinical report describes a rare case of a patient with metastatic NSCLC presenting a severe haemorrhagic event caused by FXIII deficiency immune-mediated by non-neutralizing antibodies and subsequent increased clearance.

MetodaW badaniu uczestniczyło 178 osób (89 diad znajomych), a średnia wieku wyniosła 24 lata. Zastosowano Skalę Motywów Ja (Gregg, Hepper, Sedikides) oraz osobowościowy Q-sort QOS (Miciuk).
WynikiAkuratność samowiedzy korelowała najsilniej i dodatnio z motywem samopoznania, natomiast autowaloryzacja była negatywnym korelatem akuratności. Analizy powierzchni odpowiedzi (RSA) potwierdziły hipotezy na temat możliwości przewidywania poziomu akuratności samowiedzy na podstawie rozbieżności i zgodności wewnątrz par motywów Ja. Przede wszystkim, akuratność samowiedzy była wyższa u tych badanych, którzy uzyskali niższe wyniki w podskali autowaloryzacji, w porównaniu z wynikami w podskalach mierzących pozostałe trzy motywy Ja. Generalnie, motywy Ja i ich interakcje wyjaśniały łącznie 22% wariancji akuratności samowiedzy.
KonkluzjeDyspozycyjny motyw autowaloryzacji jest negatywnie związany z akuratnością samowiedzy. Mimo tego, autowaloryzujący się ludzie wciąż mogą osiągać relatywnie wysokie poziomy akuratności, pod warunkiem że motyw autowaloryzacji nie jest u nich silniejszy niż pozostałe trzy motywy Ja. Ogólnie, motywy Ja są ważnymi predyktorami akuratności samowiedzy.

A 32-year-old female, gravid two, para one, with Cushingâ€™s syndrome (CS) was admitted to our hospital at 25 week of gestation with severe hypercortisolism. Basal urinary free cortisol (UFC) was elevated about 10 times above the upper limit of normal in two separate times and plasma cortisol failed to suppress after an overnight 1mg dexamethasone suppression test but Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level was suppressed. An abdominal non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) disclosed a 3-cm right adrenal mass (Fig. 1). Due to her critical general condition, the adrenalectomy was not performed. At 30 week of gestation, by the diagnosis of severe preeclampsia she underwent an emergent cesarean section. Two weeks later, right adrenalectomy was performed via laparotomy. Pathologic examination of the gland showed a benign adrenocortical adenoma. The newborn was a healthy male who weighed 1850 gram. There was no clinical or biochemical suppression of adrenocortical function in child and they were discharged after 40 days.[GMJ. 2012;1(1):38-41]

Introduction: Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of intense nausea and vomiting interpreted with symptom free period. As data regarding the pattern of disease in our region is scarce, we performed this study to investigate the pattern of pediatric cyclic vomiting in Shiraz, southern Iran. Methods and Patients: This study was performed in Nemazee Hospital, territory health care center affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences from 2000 to 2010. Medical files were reviewed and data was collected by means of a checklist. Patients were divided into two groups including 1-13 years of age as children and those 13-18 years of age as adolescents. Results: Overall, 43 patients with CVS were included, among whom there were 26 (60.5%) females. The mean age at first attack was found to be 6.2 (3.7) years. Ten patients (23.3%) had a family history of migraine among which there were 8 females. The most common clinical complaint was found to be abdominal pain in 32 (74.4%) patients. GI (gastrointestinal) disorders were more common in the adolescent group rather than the children group (p=0.007).The most common trigger factor was upper respiratory tract infection (URI) detected in 13 patients (30.2%).The most associated disorder was abdominal migraine in 5 (11.6%) patients. Anemia was more common in the adolescent group (p=0.009) than in the childrenâ€™s group .There were no radiological and laboratory abnormalities among these patients. The most commonly used medications were anti-migraines in 31 (72.0%) patients.Conclusion: as there is no definite drug for CVS, knowing the common trigger factors which culminate in CVS in each region can be of great importance and can prevent attacks in the prodromal phase.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most important health burdens worldwide. Aspirin as an non- Steroid Antiâ€”inflammatory drug, has been proven to be a protective factor to decrease the incidence, however its effect of MI size is still unknown. We designed this study to compare the biomarkers after MI in patients with and without aspirin intake. 378 patients were enrolled and the results showed lower cardiac troponin T and Creatine Kinases in patients with protective dose of aspirin intake. In addition, Creatine Kinases were significantly higher in patients with no history of MI. We conclude that aspirin can reduce the size of the infraction. Also, higher enzymes can be due to higher muscle content in patient without MI history.[GMJ. 2012;1(1):35-37]

Authors: Soltani Gerdfaramarzi Hamidreza , Moghimi Mansour , Teimoori Soraya
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Lipomas among the most common benign neoplasms and rarely observed in parotid glands. We present a new case of lipoma in the superficial and deep lobes of the right parotid gland.

Case report: A 52-year-old woman with painless and progressive inflation in the right preauricular region was referred to us. Computed Tomography scanning showed a hypodense area 5.2Ã—4 cm in dimension in the right parotid gland region, and the facial nerve was fully exposed. The patient underwent parotidectomy, during which extensive removal of the mass was done. The pathology report cited a yellow-colored fatty tissue mass, 5Ã—4Ã—2 in dimension. In the microscopic report, lipoma of the parotid gland was seen.Conclusion: Determination of the exact tumor location is very important in the surgical approach in such cases. To our knowledge, this case seems to be an extremely rare case of lipoma in the superficial and deep lobes of the parotid. [GMJ. 2012;1(2):88-90]

Introduction: Malnutrition in hospitalized patients will worsen the medical condition or disease prognosis. Also, duration of hospitalization and recovery will be delayed. In order to investigate these problems, the team of World Nutrition Day, on behalf of Nutritional Support Organization of Australia (with ESPEN support) decided to perform extensive research as a multi-centered one on the nutritional status of hospitalized patients in the world. This study aimed to compare the nutritional status of patients in the intensive care units (ICUs) of Ghaem Hospital with that in the world. Methods and Materials: This study is part of a cross-sectional multi-center audit which was held by the Nutritional Support Organization in Australia (with ESPEN support) on November 4th, 2010. From Iran, only Ghaem Hospital, with 8 ICUs, participated in this study. First, the consent form, and then questionnaires designed by the team of World Nutrition Day were filled for patients. After the completion of the questionnaires, they were sent online to the Center of Nutritional Support in Australia. Data were analyzed by the Center of Nutritional Support in Australia and were returned after they had been compared with the other centers as tables. Results: Thirty-two patients from the ICUs of Ghaem Hospital were participated in this study. Mean age was 57 years, and 46.9% of the patients were female. Parenteral feeding was not prescribed, and the total calorie intake of the patients was 394Â±790. Also, no monitoring was performed for the blood glucose of the patients, and the mean duration of hospitalization in the ICU was 19 days. Conclusions: This study shows that the presence of nutrition experts in the various units of hospitals is critical to better assess patientsâ€™ needs and to promote Iranian hospitals to reach global standards.

The Correlation of Serum Calcium Level and Obesity; Is There Any Explanation?
Authors: Dalfardi Omid , Jahandideh Dariush , Ranjbar Omrani Gholam Hossein
Published: January 2022

Background: Obesity is caused by several factors while sedentary lifestyle and excessive energy intake are the most important ones. Obesity could be due to abnormal calcium metabolism, and a high calcium intake may prevent obesity. Studying serum calcium level, albumin, and triglyceride concentrations, we searched for probable correlation between serum calcium level and anthropometric data of the participants.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in 2011 in Shiraz Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center on 468 participants. Anthropometrics and serum levels of calcium, albumin, and triglyceride levels were measured, recorded, and analyzed by SPSS statistical software.

Results: 329 participants were female (70.3%) and the remaining were male (29.7%) with mean age of 46.08 Â±15.22 years old. Corrected plasma concentration of calcium based on albumin level had a significant relation with weight, BMI, and triglyceride levels.

Conclusion: It is assumed that obesity induces the production of inflammatory cytokines which stimulates bone absorption by osteoclasts that might subsequently lead to a higher serum calcium level in obese people who have a high level of triglyceride at the same time.
Comparison of Renal Ultrasound and Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) in the Detection of Vesicoureteral Reflux
Authors: Ebrahimi Sedigheh
Published: January 2022

Introduction: This study evaluates the accuracy of renal ultrasonography (US) in the detection of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) compared to voiding cystourethrography (VCUG).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 131 children with urinary tract infection. Ultrasound findings were considered to be suggestive of VUR if a â€œpelvocalyceal dilatationâ€â€š â€œretrovesical ureteral dilatationâ€ and/or an â€œincrease in one or both kidneysâ€™ sizeâ€ were reported.

Results: Ultrasound findings were positive for VUR in 5 of 24 patients with confirmed VUR on VCUG, and were negative in all of 107 patients without VUR on VCUG. Altogether, of the 131 childrenâ€š 24 had reflux on VCUG, 19 (79%) of who had no sonographic findings suggestive for reflux. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound in Suggesting VUR were 20% and 100%, respectively.

Conclusion: The results of this study showed that ultrasonography cannot accurately detect or predict vesicoureteral reflux. This outcome should be mentioned by clinicians in evaluation of patients with complaints which are suggestive for VUR.
