A comparative study of the relationship between uric acid with the severity of coronary artery disease
Authors: C. Nirmala A. , H. Chetan
Published: June 2020

Background: Coronary Artery disease (CAD) is defined as the presence of stenosis of atleast 50% of the vessel diameter in any of the main coronary arteries. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. According to WHO estimates, 17.5 million people died of CAD in 2005. Uric acid (UA) is the end product of purine nucleotide metabolism, it could induce the proliferation and inflammation of vascular smooth muscle cells. This study is undertaken to evaluate the role of serum uric acid levels in severity CAD in our centre.Methods: This is a cross sectional study of 120 patients with CAD visiting the OPD or admitted in Medicine department at hospitals attached to BMCRI between June 2018 to July 2019. All CAD patients were assessed for the presence of comorbid conditions and ongoing medications. Serum Uric acid levels, creatinine level, fasting lipid profile were measured in all patients before Coronary Angiogram. The severity of CAD (percentage of stenosis) was assessed by the Gensini scoring system.Results: Of 120 CAD patients’ majority were in the age group of 51-60 years, 89 were men and 31 were women. Of the study patients, 93 (77.5%) symptoms like chest pain and/or breathlessness, 84 (70%) had a smoking history, 43 (35.8) had gensini score of 4 with uric acid levels of (mean 5.49), 26 (21.7%) had gensini score of 8 with uric acid levels of (mean 6.36), 49 (40.8%) had gensini score of 16 with uric acid levels of (mean 7.03) and 2 (1.7%) had gensini score of 32 with uric acid levels of (mean 7.35). Based on this analysis, we found that serum uric acid levels were in linear correlation with the severity of CAD.Conclusions: In conclusion, serum uric acid levels were found to be associated with the severity of CAD.

Published: June 2020

Background: Cleft palates are the most common congenital craniofacial anomalies in children, and their treatment is challenging in terms of outcomes. The objective of the study was to determine the incidence of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), and of the oronasal fistula after a veloplasty.

Methods: By a retrospective study, over a period of 2 years, going from January 2017 to December 2018, carried out in the department of ENT and head and neck surgery of the August 20 hospital in Casablanca, Morocco. The inclusion criteria were all patients operated on for a cleft palate. The main results were the incidence of VPI, and of the oronasal fistula after a primary repair of the palate.  

Results: Out of a total of 21 cases, the average age was 4 years, and the sex ratio was 0.61, the average postoperative follow-up duration was 1 year and 9 months. VPI was found in 13 patients (62%), it was mild in 3 patients (14%), moderate in 6 patients (28%), and severe in 4 patients (19%), the frequency of VPI increased significantly with increasing age (p=0.05). The oronasal fistula was found in 5 (23.8%) patients, this fistula was more frequent when the patient benefited from the operation at an early age.

Conclusions: Age is the most important factor in the management of cleft palates.
Analysis of urine as an indicator of specific body conditions in pregnant women in rural mountainous region
Authors: Tabbasum Nazia , Khurshid Sumat Ul
Published: June 2020

Background: Urinalysis is a procedure for examining physical properties, particulate matter, cells, casts, crystals, organisms and solutes. Urinalysis is a routine screening and diagnostic tool used to identify infections including renal, urological, liver disease, diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infection (UTI). Urinalysis can be used to screen, glucose, leucocytes, nitrite and blood. Although urinalysis is an effective screening tool it should not be used in isolation to guide treatment because false positives, for example, nitrites, and false negatives, for example, glucose, can occur if the sample is contaminated or left to stand for too long. UTI is among the leading reasons for treatment in adult primary care medicine, accounting for a considerable percentage of antibiotic prescriptions. Aim of this study is to identify the markers of urinary tract infection by urine routine microscopic analysis in pregnant women.

Methods: This was a two months prospective study from June 1st 2019 to July 31st 2019. Urine samples of 72 pregnant women coming routinely to OPD of GMC, Doda were examined by physical and biochemical analysis by microscopy methods.  

Results: Majority of samples were pale yellow with turbid appearance. Protein was present in most of the samples whereas glucose was present in a minor number of samples. Microscopy revealed increase in pus and epithelial cells count in most of the samples while bacteria were present in almost half of the samples.

Conclusions: To conclude from the present study that appearance, presence of protein, pus cells, epithelial cell and bacteria, all taken together can serve as a strong indicator of UTI.

Optimization of Investment Portfolios Taking into Account the Behavioral Perception of Monetary Policy
Authors: Redkin Nikita
Published: June 2020

The paper presents an adaptation of modern behavioral economic theory to portfolio investment in the Russian stock market. The author analyzes the possibility of optimizing the investment portfolio for a private investor using portfolio correction based on changes in monetary policy indicators available in media sources. The behavioral model of portfolio selection is used, based on the value of shares on Moscow Exchange and taking into account a reference point in the theory of prospects in the form of indicators regulated by the Bank of Russia. The key rate and the standard of required reserves, inflation, the average rate on bank deposits, and the exchange rate of the US dollar to the ruble are used as monetary policy indicators. The behavioral model is a modified theory of average variance, in which the calculation of profitability and risk is carried out according to the main behavioral theories, namely the cumulative prospect and mental accounting theory. The author considers various options for forming a portfolio in accordance with the level of risk aversion. As a result of comparing the models of optimization of the average variance portfolio and the models based on the modified theory of average variance using behavioral factors, higher risk-return ratios of the modified models were revealed in the forecast period, while for the analyzed period all models were located on the line of Markowitz efficient portfolio. As a further development of the portfolio behavioral theory, the possibilities of adapting the model are proposed not only depending on the points of reference, but also depending on changes in risk acceptance coefficients and probability estimates.
Medialne reprezentacje biedy
Authors: Duda Aneta
Published: June 2020

Przedmiotem badań niniejszego opracowania są medialne obrazy społecznych nierówności, wyznaczające pozycje jednostek w strukturze społecznej, a dokładniej — medialne obrazy biedy. Ważnym pytaniem, na które próbowano odpowiedzieć, to pytanie o siatkę pojęciową w odniesieniu do pomiaru reprezentacji biednych. Stawiane są pytania o to jak w mediach (Rzeczpospolitej i Gazecie Wyborczej) wybrzmiewa problem „konsumentów z usterką” (zgodnie z terminologią Zygmunta Baumana), a jak prezentowani są „społeczni normalsi”, którzy stabilizują społeczno-polityczny system, ale również konserwatywne zachowania? Czy ci drudzy są nadreprezentowani w mediach — jako przykład do naśladowania dla pozostałych? Czy dyskursywna strategia stygmatyzująca biedę dominuje na łamach najpopularniejszych polskich dzienników opiniotwórczych? Czy bieda jest przedstawiana jako zjawisko będące przejawem dysfunkcjonalnego charakteru reguł tworzących mechanizmy sytuowania jednostek w ramach struktury społecznej, czy raczej jako pewien „normalny”, nieusuwalny element ładu zbiorowego? Dyskurs o biedzie okazał się być zróżnicowany w zależności od ideologicznej orientacji danego tytułu prasowego. Biedni byli przedstawieni zarówno jako „winni swojej sytuacji” i niesłusznie otrzymujący świadczenia społeczne, jak i niesprawiedliwie potraktowani przez okoliczności zewnętrzne. Makrostrukturalny obszar różnic w dyskursie na temat ubóstwa został również określony na ideologicznej osi interwencjonizmu (konserwatyzmu) i liberalizmu.
Specyfika sprawnościowego rozumienia intelektualizacji w kulturotwórczym działaniu człowieka
Authors: Gondek Paweł
Published: June 2020

Propozycja określenia kultury jako „intelektualizacji natury” stanowi punkt wyjścia do badań nad sposobem rozumienia intelektualizacji. W artykule wskazano, że podstawą dla zachodzenia procesu intelektualizacji są sprawności intelektualne. Intelektualizacja jako sposób realizowania się sprawności intelektualnych jest w pierwszym rzędzie doskonaleniem człowieka w jego osobowych potencjalnościach. Dlatego funkcjonowanie sprawności intelektualnych przybiera w procesie intelektualizacji formę odpowiedniego pokierowania intelektu (recta ratio) przez odkrywany w przedmiocie poznawanym układ relacji. Wyróżniane w tym kontekście działy kultury są obszarami osobowego doskonalenia się człowieka, a w dalszej konsekwencji przyczyną powstawania różnorodnych faktów kulturowych.
Democratic Political Contestation: State, Islam and Media in Indonesia’s Reformative Era
Authors: Setiawati Siti Mutiah
Published: June 2020

Pada 2 Desember 2018 jutaan Muslim di seluruh negeri berkumpul di Jakarta dan bertemu di jantung ibu kota Indonesia, Monumen Nasional dan sekitarnya (Monas). Ini bukan yang pertama karena setidaknya dua peristiwa serupa yang dikenal sebagai peristiwa 212 dan 411 pernah terjadi sebelumnya, juga di tempat yang sama. Meskipun, pertemuan itu dihadiri oleh tokoh-tokoh pemimpin agama terkemuka, dari pidato, simbol, dan pesan yang dikirim ke publik, lebih tepat disebut sebagai acara politik yang berdasarkan sentimen keagamaan daripada pertemuan atau ritual keagamaan. Tujuan akhir dari pertemuan tersebut adalah, sangat mungkin, untuk memberikan tekanan politik pada rezim. Dengan demikian, apa yang mereka harapkan bahwa peristiwa politik sebesar itu diliput oleh media massa dan diekspos di seluruh dunia. Sementara itu, media massa telah enggan untuk membuat liputan tersebut. Menanggapi perilaku politik media yang tidak biasa, umat Islam yang mendukung tekanan politik terhadap rezim cenderung mengoptimalkan penggunaan media sosial yang lebih sulit dikendalikan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan fenomena komunikasi politik Indonesia, pola hubungan antara Media, Negara, dan Komunitas Islam, dan juga untuk menjawab mengapa Media Indonesia menjadi perilaku satu sisi sesaat sebelum pemilihan nasional yang populer disebut "demokratis pesta" terjadi . Metode penelitian meliputi penelitian kualitatif, yaitu data primer spesifik yang dikumpulkan melalui penelitian kepustakaan, kemudian ditafsirkan untuk menemukan generalisasi. Wawancara dengan para ahli dilakukan untuk menganalisis kasus-kasus tertentu.
Severe deep neck infections successfully treated with negative pressure wound therapy with instillation - a case report
Authors: Szmyt Krzysztof , Bobkiewicz Adam , Krokowicz Łukasz , Banasiewicz Tomasz
Published: June 2020

Background: Deep neck infection (DNI) is a life-threatening complication associated with significant mortality and morbidity rates. The most common causes of DNI are the tonsilitis, dentitis, salivary glands inflammation, malignancies, and foreign bodies. As a result of neck infection, patients are at high risk of potential secondary complications which include: descending mediastinitis, pleural empyema, septicemia, jugular vein thrombosis, pericarditis. We presented a case of successful management of DNI with the utility of negative pressure wound therapy with instillation (iNPWT).

Method: A 37-year-old male with deep neck infection due to dentitis was qualified for iNPWT. Due to previous incisions and drainage of the neck abscesses, some undermined wounds drained towards each other’s were revealed with an excessive amount of purulent content. Standard NPWT dressing was placed and polyurethane foam was covered with contact layer dressing. Additionally, an inflow drain was placed within one of the wounds in regard to instill an antimicrobial solution. The wound was instilled four times daily.

Results: The patient underwent a total of eight iNWPT sessions. Locally, a reduction in purulent content was achieved with a decrease of wounds’ dimensions and improvement of wound bed granulation. Moreover, improvement of the patient’s general condition and decrease of inflammatory markers was achieved.

Conclusions: iNPWT may play an important role in the management of combined, complicated wounds due to DNI. The instilled antimicrobial solution facilitates dissolving and removing of the purulent content that impairs the wound healing.

Published: June 2020

Neste artigo são apresentados alguns resultados de uma pesquisa financiada pelo Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica – PIBIC/CNPq-2017/2018. A investigação visava a pesquisar o impacto, em sentido amplo, do ingresso de estudantes subcotistas étnico-raciais na UNIVERSIDADE X, mas em alguns de seus cursos de alto prestígio, a saber: Agronomia, Direito, Engenharia Mecânica, Engenharia Química, Medicina e Medicina Veterinária. O período pesquisado, do primeiro semestre de 2013 ao segundo semestre de 2016, refere-se ao prazo para o cumprimento integral do disposto na Lei 12.711/2012, que determinou a implantação do sistema de cotas nas universidades federais brasileiras. Constatou-se, por um lado, que houve o ingresso fraudulento de estudantes brancos/as nas subcotas étnico-raciais destinadas a estudantes pretos/as, pardos/as e indígenas. Por outro lado, e em consequência das fraudes, a pesquisa também evidenciou a pouca presença de estudantes negras (pretas e pardas) nos cursos supracitados, mesmo após a implementação de uma política pública que tinha como objetivo aumentar a presença dessas estudantes na universidade.

EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS E HOMOAFETIVIDADE: RELATO DAS CONCEPÇÕES DOS ALUNOS E DEBATE ACERCA DO TEMA
Authors: Santos Tito Marcos Domingues dos
Published: June 2020

Um professor de Geografia da Rede Estadual (RJ), introduziu o conteúdo relacionado aos movimentos sociais que incluiu importantes lutas, como da etnia afro-brasileira, da comunidade LGBT, do movimento sem-terra, do movimento passe livre e outros. Solicitou que sua turma da EJA se organizasse em grupos para que os mesmos optassem em pesquisar e apresentar um dos movimentos. Observou-se que ao final das escolhas dos temas, nenhum grupo havia demonstrado interesse em apresentar o movimento LGBT. Esse trabalho objetiva narrar e problematizar a interferência pedagógica do professor, após propor um diálogo com seus alunos acerca da homoafetividade, ao ressaltar o espaço de sala de aula enquanto lócus favorável à reflexão e ao combate a toda expressão de preconceito. Utilizou-se como aparato teórico-metodológico os estudos de Louro. Após o tema ser discutido, os (as)alunos (as) passaram a apresentar discurso favorável à diversidade de gênero. A intervenção proposta pelo professor mostrou que suas concepções negativas acerca da homoafetividade eram resultantes da falta de informação, estudo e diálogo acerca do tema.

LGBT RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS: SOCIAL WORK AND THE FIGHT AGAINST THE LGBTPHOBIC DISCOURSE OF “GAY CURE”
Authors: Mozdzenski Leonardo , Albuquerque Albert de
Published: June 2020

This paper proposes to critically examine the LGBTphobic comments of social workers against the content of the video For Social Work there is no "gay cure", created by the Brazilian Federal Council of Social Work (CFESS). Thus, based on the theoretical and methodological principles of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this research investigates how the construction of meanings of the arguments made in those prejudiced posts proceeds. CDA proposes to describe, interpret and disseminate how forms of power, domination and social inequality are (re)produced in discursive practices, in their socio-political and cultural contexts. More particularly, this study turns its attention to the rhetorical appeals of ethos and pathos observed in those statements that were favorable to the proposition of therapies for sexual (re)orientation ("gay cure"), thus reproducing the hate speech, stigmatization and discrimination against the human rights of the members of the gender and sexuality diverse community. The findings can be arranged into five analytical categories: the cis-hetero-compulsory rhetoric, the "freedom of thought" rhetoric, the "right to choose" rhetoric, the neoconservative rhetoric and the religious rhetoric.
RESISTIR PARA RE(EXISTIR): REFLEXÕES SOBRE A PRODUÇÃO DE RESISTÊNCIAS POR ESTUDANTES GAYS NA ESCOLA DE ENSINO MÉDIO
Authors: Peixoto Jaime
Published: June 2020

Este artigo, fruto dos resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado em educação, tem por objetivo investigar os modos inventivos que jovens gays produzem resistências e enfrentamentos às práticas comumente nomeadas como homofóbicas no espaço escolar. Tendo como embasamento a perspectiva pós-crítica, utilizo do pensamento de autores como Michel Foucault ao elaborar minhas reflexões sobre a evidenciação dos processos de criação de estratégias de resistências, escapes, subversões e deslocamentos. Tendo em mente a já constatada realidade de que jovens gays são vítimas de homofobia nas escolas e, principalmente, o atual contexto político conservador e reacionário de nosso país, busca-se, neste artigo, evidenciar outro lado do debate, a saber, as resistências que tais sujeitos engendram dentro das relações de forças envolvendo a vivência transgressora do gênero e da sexualidade no meio escolar em tempos de conservadorismos.
Documentos tipo obligatorios: ¿supresión de la potestad discrecional para la confección del pliego de condiciones?
Authors: Díaz Díez Cristian Andrés
Published: June 2020

El artículo 4 de la Ley 1882 de 2018 estableció que el Gobierno Nacional debe adoptar pliegos de condiciones tipo obligatorios para ciertos procedimientos de selección contractual. Adicionalmente, lo facultó para crear y extender la obligatoriedad de dichos documentos a otras modalidades de selección. A partir de esta disposición y de los reglamentos expedidos por el Gobierno, se faculta a la Agencia Nacional de Contratación Pública -Colombia Compra Eficiente para implementar pliegos vinculantes para las entidades sometidas al Estatuto General de Contratación de la Administración Pública. En razón de estas competencias, surge la duda de si ha desaparecido la potestad discrecional para la confección del pliego de condiciones; inquietud que aborda el presente artículo.

Relations sociales et comportement alimentaire au pâturage
Authors: DUMONT B. , BOISSY A.
Published: June 2020

Chez les herbivores domestiques, l’organisation sociale interfère largement avec le comportement alimentaire au pâturage. Ce texte présente comment les relations sociales au sein du groupe influencent les stratégies individuelles pour le choix des aliments, l’exploitation des sites alimentaires et la distribution spatiale au pâturage. La vie en groupe offre au jeune individu des modèles sociaux, d’abord sa mère puis ses pairs, qui facilitent l’acquisition de préférences et d’évitements alimentaires plus efficacement que l’apprentissage individuel par essai-erreur. Le groupe facilite également la découverte de nouveaux sites alimentaires puisque l’animal bénéficie de ceux trouvés par ses congénères. En revanche, les animaux qui s’alimentent en groupe doivent faire face à une plus forte compétition du fait de la diminution plus rapide de la ressource. Les conséquences de cette compétition varient selon le rang hiérarchique de l’individu, les animaux subordonnés étant les plus pénalisés. La vie en groupe induirait également pour l’individu un coût au moment de l’abandon du site alimentaire.

En el artículo se analizan las estrategias de incorporación de los jóvenes marroquíes en Bizkaia  utilizando un marco teórico que se basa en la teoría de campos de Pierre Bourdieu. A través del análisis de una serie de entrevistas cualitativas se identifican los principales polos de capital cultural étnico que influyen en los jóvenes marroquíes y se analizan dos tipos ideales de estrategia de incorporación: el repliegue étnico y la asimilación. Los resultados muestran que la asimilación es una estrategia que proporciona un menor acceso a recursos materiales.
La traducción de fuentes teóricas musicales: cambios conceptuales y problemática
Authors: Vicente-Yagüe Jara Antonio José de , Nieves Molina Diego
Published: June 2020

La fundación del Conservatorio de París en 1795 marca un momento fundamental en la historia de las enseñanzas musicales: supone el gran salto cuantitativo y cualitativo en la publicación de obras didácticas musicales en toda Europa. En el caso de la viola, Francia es la pionera, en concreto los compositores Corrette, Cupis y Woldemar, cuyos textos hemos traducido para la realización del presente estudio. Hemos analizado las características de los tres métodos, tanto desde el punto de vista de la organización interna como de la relación del texto con el contexto musical, pasando por la norma lingüística vigente en la época. Hemos comprobado que la mayoría de problemas traductológicos y de comprensión se derivan de la naturaleza especializada del texto, y hemos expuesto la solución, justificando las decisiones traductológicas más complejas.

Synthesis of Carbon Nano Rods from Plastic Waste (PP) Using MgO AS A Catalyst
Authors: Abbood et al. Amal
Published: June 2020

In this research, CNRs have been synthesized using pyrolysis of plastic waste(pp) at 1000 ° C for one hour in a closed reactor made from stainless steel, using magnesium oxide (MgO) as a catalyst. The resultant carbon nano rods were purified and characterized using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The surface characteristics of carbon rods were observed with the Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The carbon was evenly spread and had the highest concentration from SEM-EDX characterization. The results of XRD and FESEM have shown that carbon Nano rods (CNRs) were present in Nano figures, synthesized at 1000 ° C and with pyrolysis temperature 400° C. One of the advantages of this method is that using one reactor for a short time and without any use of inert gas as opposed to previous researches which used two reactors.

Authors: Mohammed et al. Ahmed
Published: June 2020

In this paper, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPS) have been prepared and characterized and its concentration effect has been studied on polymers surface (MgO NPS). The results showed that the degradation of poly methyl methacrylate increased when using such metal oxide. The results also showed that the metal oxide increased the degradation of poly methyl methacrylate. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy were used to study the morphological characteristics and size of nano MgO particles analysis.  Films were prepared by mixing the different masses of MgO NPS (0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4) % with a polymer solution ratio (W/V) 7 %. Photo- degradation rate was monitored irradiation’s time by measuring the incident frequency of the index value of the hydroxyl coefficient of growth (IOH) at fixed film thickness and constant concentration. Spectrophotometry (IR, and UV. Visible) techniques were used to determine the change in the intensity of the spectrum bundles.

Abstract
How methodological frameworks are being developed: Evidence from a scoping review
Authors: McMeekin Nicola , Wu Olivia , Germeni Evi , Briggs Andrew
Published: June 2020

Background A methodological framework is a structured guide to completing a process or procedure. Although the benefits of using methodological frameworks are increasingly recognised, to date, there is no formal definition of what constitutes a ‘methodological framework’, nor is there any published guidance on how to develop one. This study’s aims are to: (a) map the existing landscape on the use of methodological frameworks; (b) identify approaches used for the development of methodological frameworks and terminology used; and (c) provide suggestions for developing future methodological frameworks. We took a broad view and did not limit our study to methodological frameworks in research and academia. Methods A scoping review was conducted, drawing on Arksey and O’Malley’s methods and more recent guidance. We systematically searched two major electronic databases (MEDLINE and Web of Science), as well as grey literature sources and the reference lists and citations of all relevant papers. Study characteristics and approaches used for development of methodological frameworks were extracted from included studies. Descriptive analysis was conducted. Results We included a total of 30 studies, representing a wide range of subject areas. The most commonly reported approach for developing a methodological framework was ‘Based on existing methods and guidelines’ (66.7%), followed by ‘Refined and validated’ (33.3%), ‘Experience and expertise’ (30.0%), ‘Literature review’ (26.7%), ‘Data synthesis and amalgamation’ (23.3%), ‘Data extraction’ (10.0%), ‘Iteratively developed’ (6.7%) and ‘Lab work results’ (3.3%). There was no consistent use of terminology; the studies included a range of terms for ‘methodological framework’, which were also used interchangeably within studies. Conclusions Although no formal guidance exists on how to develop a methodological framework, this scoping review found an overall consensus in approaches used, which can be broadly divided into three phases: (a) identifying data to inform the methodological framework; (b) developing the methodological framework; and (c) validating, testing and refining the methodological framework. Based on these phases, we provide suggestions to facilitate the development of future methodological frameworks.

Background. Non-communicable general and oral health conditions share common social determinants. Based on several social determinants, i.e. socioeconomic position (SEP) indicators, we examined and compared social inequalities in general health condition, overweight and obesity, and oral health condition, dental caries, in a sample of adolescents from Northern Norway. Methods. This cross-sectional study included data from 464 girls and 494 boys from the population-based Tromsø study Fit Futures, which included first-year students attending upper secondary school in 2010-2011 from two municipalities in Northern Norway (1038 participants in total, 93% participation rate). Multivariable binary logistic regression analyses stratified by sex was used to investigate the association between SEP indicators (adolescent’s own study program, parents’ education and employment status) and overweight and obesity indicated by body weight and waist circumference, and dental caries, here indicated by untreated dental caries in dentine. Results. Boys enrolled in the general studies and sports programs (versus vocational) had lower odds of being overweight/obese (POR 0.42, 95% CI 0.20-0.86 and POR 0.24, 95% CI 0.08-0.73, respectively), of having high waist circumference (POR 0.39, 95% CI 0.21-0.75 and POR 0.25, 95% CI 0.10-0.64, respectively), and untreated caries (POR 0.57, 95% CI 0.32-0.99 and POR 0.47, 95% CI 0.22-0.98, respectively). Girls enrolled in the general studies program (versus vocational) had lower odds of having untreated dental caries (POR 0.50, 95% CI 0.30-0.84). Conclusions. Among Northern Norwegian adolescents, social inequalities in overweight and obesity, and dental caries followed adolescent’s own study program. The pattern of social inequalities in general health condition resembled the pattern of social inequalities in oral health condition among boys. This suggests that the relationship between overweight and obesity, and dental caries maybe be explained by common social structural determinants. These findings call for common preventive strategies for general and oral health addressing the social inequalities observed.

Background Multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii presents challenges for clinical treatment and causes high mortality in children. We aimed to assess the risk factors for MDR/XDR Acinetobacter baumannii infection and for overall mortality in this patient population. Methods This retrospective study included 102 pediatric patients who developed MDR/XDR Acinetobacter baumannii infection in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Shanghai Children’s Hospital in China from December 2014 to May 2018. Results A total of 102 patients with Acinetobacter baumannii infection were enrolled. The median age was 36 (9.6, 98.8) months, and there were 63 (61.8%) male in the case group. The overall mortality rate was 29.4% (30/102), while the Acinetobacter baumannii-associated mortality rate was 16.7% (17/102, 12 bloodstream infections, 4 meningitis and 1 intra-abdominal infection). Bloodstream infections occurred in 28 patients (27.5%), and 10 patients (9.8%) among them had central line-associated bloodstream infections (6 central venous catheters, 2 PICCs, 1 venous infusion port and 1 arterial catheter). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures were positive in 4(3.9%) patients. 14(13.7%) patients got positive cultures in ascites and hydrothorax. Lower respiratory isolates (56/102) accounted for 54.9% of all patients. Non-survival patients appeared to have a lower NK cell activity (6.2%±3.61% vs. 9.15%±6.21%, P =0.029), higher CD4+ T cell ratio (39.67%±12.18% vs. 32.66%±11.44%, P = 0.039),and a higher serum level of interlukin-8 (IL-8, 15.25 (1.62, 47.22)pg/ml vs. 0.1 (0.1, 22.99)pg/ml, P=0.01) when Acinetobacter baumannii infection developed. Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that high serum level of Cr (RR, 0.934, 95%CI, 0.890-0.981；P=0.007) and high BUN/ALB level (RR, 107.893, 95%CI, 1.425-870.574; p= 0.005) were associated with high risk of mortality in MDR/XDR Acinetobacter baumannii infected patients. Conclusion MDR/XDR Acinetobacter baumannii infection is a serious concern in pediatric patients with high mortality (29.4%). Bloodstream and central nervous infection accounted for high risk of death. Acute kidney injury is associated with high risk of mortality.

Published: June 2020

Background: Phenylketonuria (PKU) screening is a public health measure taken to diagnose and treat the patients with PKU to prevent severe neurological disorders in them. The present study was aimed at analyzing the policies of the national PKU screening (NaPS) program in Iran.Methods: PKU screening program policies were analyzed in compliance with the policy triangle model. Document review and 38 semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. Document review data were analyzed using content analysis, and interview data were analyzed using framework analysis.Results: The national PKU screening (NaPS) program was a decision made at the genetics department of Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) in Iran. Many internal and external stakeholders were involved in it and valid evidence was used to formulate the policies. Despite some opposition and insufficient support, the program was implemented due to the continuous persistence of parents, interested executives, formulated valid content and a top-down approach. The main barriers included rapid substitution of managers, shortage of Phe-free milk, little awareness of patients’ families, social stigma, and inadequate co-operation of some hospital administrators.Conclusions: The policy triangle framework contributed to explaining the different components of the PKU screening program. A successful PKU screening program requires more stability of senior managers in MOHME, enough human resources and Phe-free milk, educating patients’ families, and commitment of hospitals administrators. Meanwhile, all the stakeholders need to be involved in the program effectively.
