Authors: Almudahki Jawaher , Hassan Rawan Khaled , Alagamawy Emad
Published: January 2023

Background: Endodontic flare up is a common complication of endodontic treatment that results from acute exacerbation of pulpal and peri-radicular pathosis; leading to unscheduled emergency visits that is disturbing for both clinicians and patients. Flare up causes are multifactorial that includes microbial, host, chemical and mechanical factors. Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the incidence and identify risk factors of flare up in a multispecialty dental and maxillofacial center over a period of one year from February 2019 to February 2020. Methods: Data was collected from 323 teeth belonging to 272 patients that completed their root canal treatment on multiple sessions during the evaluation period. The samples were classified based on inclusion criteria and variables according to teeth type; age; sex; pulpal and periapical pathosis; presence of intracanal medication between visits; and absence of coronal seal. Results: The incidence of flare up was 122(38%), the evaluated variables did not show statistical significance in any of the evaluated parameters. Conclusion: The incidence of flare up is widely diverse and may be due to a variety of reasons; and therefore, the management of flare up in each dental facility is different and varies according to their setup; number of clinicians and specialists available. Continuous training and skills improvement for clinician in charge of managing emergency patients with flare up is highly recommended.

Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis in Children: Report of Four Cases from Bahrain
Authors: Mohamed Alia Khalil Ebrahim Ali , Ali Ayman Khalil Ebrahim
Published: January 2023

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a newly described subtype of limbic encephalitis. This disease is probably the commonest autoimmune encephalitis predominantly affecting children and young adults. It has a higher incidence among young females. Patients manifest with a constellation of symptoms including psychosis, dyskinesia, and seizures. Antibodies against NR1/NR2 heteromers of the NMDAR glutamate receptor mediate this type of encephalitis. Patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis might have underlying tumors, which are typically teratomas. Exploring for occult tumor and resection is crucial in management. First-tier immunotherapy include steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin and plasma exchange, while rituximab and cyclophosphamide are frequently used as second-tier immunotherapy. Around 80% of patients achieve almost complete recovery, however some patients suffer from cognitive deficits or death. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can lead to better recovery and outcome. The unique feature of this disease reflects the intimate relationship between psychiatry and neurology. In this article, we describe the clinical phenotype and outcome of four affected children from Bahrain. Keywords: Anti-NMDAR encephalitis, Limbic encephalitis, Epilepsy, Psychosis, Dyskinesia, Immunotherapy

Authors: Elsayed Ahmed Moustafa Ibrahim , Alahmadi Hajar Abdulla , Romano Nuria Perez
Published: January 2023

Background: Since the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, individuals affected by COVID19 may be at risk of acquiring certain forms of glomerular disease. Several biopsy researches reveal that acute tubular injury, as well as glomerular nephropathy were common histological findings. However, to our knowledge, there is limited data regarding de novo diagnosis of IgA vasculitis in an adult following a COVID-19 infection. Case presentation: In the present case report, we document a 24-year-old Bahraini woman with new onset hypertension, microhematuria, proteinuria and decreased renal function after she recovered from COVID-19 infection. Renal biopsy after COVID-19 infection was performed and revealed IgA nephropathy without any evidence of COVID-19 infection. After a regimen of immunosuppression and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor therapy, the patient recovered and remained stable upon follow-up. Conclusions: When dealing with patient with COVID-19 infection and kidney involvement, it is vital to evaluate the underlying glomerular disease aggravation as well as virus-induced consequences. A kidney biopsy may be necessary to roll out rapidly progressive glomerular disease (RPGN). Keywords: COVID-19, microscopic hematuria, IgA nephropathy, acute kidney injury, case report.

Small Bowel Volvulus: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Jabbar Abdul , Fatema Mohamed
Published: January 2023

Adult small intestinal volvulus is a rare entity and even more rarely, the ileum undergoes torsion without known predisposing factors. This presents as an acute abdomen. Although a rare condition, it should be kept in mind in cases of abdominal pain with or without intestinal obstruction. Since there is no specific laboratory or routine radiological finding in these cases, a CT scan abdomen is the investigation of choice. Small intestinal volvulus exits as two types according to etiology. Emergency surgical intervention is the treatment of choice. Delay and missed diagnosis have serious consequences with increased morbidity and mortality due to bowel ischemia. Here we report a case of a 32-year-old male having no predisposing factors presenting with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Physical examination and investigations were unremarkable. The patient was managed by urgent surgical intervention after having confirmed the diagnosis peroperatively as small bowel volvulus. Keywords: Abdominal pain, Small bowel volvulus, Intestinal obstruction, Midgut volvulus, Bowel necrosis, Whirlpool sign.

Published: January 2023

Background

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, Ukrainians have been seeking shelter in other European countries.

Aim

We aimed to investigate the prevalence and the molecular epidemiology of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative (MDRGN) bacteria and meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Ukrainian patients at admittance to the University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany.

Methods

We performed screening and observational analysis of all patients from March until June 2022. Genomes of MDRGN isolates were analysed for antimicrobial resistance, virulence genes and phylogenetic relatedness.

Results

We included 103 patients (median age: 39 ± 23.7 years), 57 of whom were female (55.3%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 45.2–5.1). Patients were most frequently admitted to the Department of Paediatrics (29/103; 28.2%; 95% CI: 19.7–37.9). We found 34 MDRGN isolates in 17 of 103 patients (16.5%; 95% CI: 9.9–25.1). Ten patients carried 21 carbapenem-resistant (CR) bacteria, five of them more than one CR isolate. Four of six patients with war-related injuries carried eight CR isolates. In six of 10 patients, CR isolates caused infections. Genomic characterisation revealed that the CR isolates harboured at least one carbapenemase gene, bla
NDM-1 being the most frequent (n = 10). Core genome and plasmid analysis revealed no epidemiological connection between most of these isolates. Hypervirulence marker genes were found in five of six Klebsiella pneumoniae CR isolates. No MRSA was found.

Conclusion

Hospitals should consider infection control strategies to cover the elevated prevalence of MDRGN bacteria in Ukrainian patients with war-related injuries and/or hospital pre-treatment and to prevent the spread of hypervirulent CR isolates.

The study examined the effect of abattoir effluent on some physico-chemical parameters and heavy metal content of Ta’jan River in Ogbagi Akoko, Ondo State. Water samples were taken once in October and November at seven different locations along the receiving water body at sampling points:S1, S0, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6; S1 (10meters upstream of the point at which effluents enter the stream),S0 (point at which effluents enter the stream) S2 (10 meters downstream of the point of effluent discharge), S3 (20meters downstream of the point of effluent discharge), S3 (30meters downstream of the point of effluent discharge), S4 (40meters downstream of the point of effluent discharge), S5 (50meters downstream of the point of effluent discharge) and S6 (60meters downstream of the point of effluent discharge) along Ta’jan stream. The time of taking the samples were in the morning during slaughter hours.The samples were collected, preserved, and analysed in the laboratory using standard methods. Wastewater parameters analysed were dissolved oxygen, Temperature (TEMPT), conductivity (COND), salinity, turbidity, nitrate, sulphate, phosphate, pH, total suspended solid (TSS), total dissolved solid (TDS), and heavy metals, such as iron, lead, copper, and zinc. The downstream levels of most of the parameters were significantly (p<0.05) better than the discharge point. This suggests river Ta’jan has good recovery capacity.The findings can be useful in identifying the water quality problems and how to improve the water body when been diverted into fishponds or used for all other industrial or agricultural purposes in the community.

Bu çalışmada ilkokulda öğrenim gören Roman öğrencilerin okula devamsızlık nedenleri ve çözüm önerilerine ilişkin öğrenci, öğretmen ve veli görüşlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden biri olan
durum çalışması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Roman öğrencilerin okula devamsızlık ve okulu terk etme nedenlerine ilişkin yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formları kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar 10 öğrenci, 10 öğretmen
ve 10 veli olmak üzere 30 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Toplanan veriler betimsel analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sürecinde Roman öğrencilerin genel olarak devamsızlık yaptıkları ve bu uzun devamsızlıklardan sonra okuldan
ayrıldıkları, öğretmenlerin ve velilerin bu öğrencilerin eğitimini yeterince önemsemedikleri sonucuna varılmıştır. Velilerin ilgilenmeme sebepleri ise onların da eğitimsiz olmaları ve okuldan hiçbir beklentilerinin olmamasıdır.
Öğretmenlerin ilgilenmeme sebepleri Roman öğrencilerin genel olarak kurallara uymamaları, disiplinsiz olmaları, sorun çıkarmaları ve akademik olarak başarısız olmalarıdır. Bu nedenlere ek olarak bazı Roman olmayan (GACO) öğrencilerin
Roman öğrencileri okulda dışladıkları ve onlara kötü davrandıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bunun bir yansıması olarak Roman öğrencilerin okula gitmek istemedikleri sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu araştırmadan elde edilen bir diğer sonuç da
Roman öğrencilerin bazı derslerden başarısız oldukları için okula gitmek istemedikleridir. Ayrıca Roman erkek öğrencilerin aile bütçesine katkıda bulunmak amacıyla babaları veya yakın akrabalarının yanında çalışması, Roman kız
öğrencilerin ev işlerinde çalıştırılması ve Roman ilkokul öğrencilerin erken yaşta evlendirilmesi nedeniyle okul devamsızlığı yaptıkları ve zamanla okula karşı ilgilerinin azalarak okulu terk ettikleri tespit edilmiştir.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Acute kidney injury is a common complication following pediatric heart surgery, and it has been linked to an increased risk of morbidity and fatality.

Methods: The PubMed and Medline databases were combed for relevant research until May 2022. The terms [Cardiac surgery] AND [acute renal injury] AND [newborns OR children OR neonates] AND [randomized control studies OR randomized control trials] were used as search criteria. The studies that met the inclusion criteria were considered qualified using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Results: A total of 2,941 newborns or children were enrolled in 14 studies, with 931 developing acute renal damage. 2,095 of the enrolled infants and children received steroid, aminophylline, dexmedetomidine, and acetaminophen therapies. In seven studies, the odds ratio for steroids was not significantly different from control. In contrast, two studies comparing aminophylline to a control group found no statistically significant change. Two studies found no significant difference in dexmedetomidine therapy compared to control. Three trials, however, found a significant difference between the acetaminophen treatment and control groups.

Conclusion: Acetaminophen was linked to a decreased risk of postoperative acute renal injury, while steroids had no benefit and aminophylline treatment could be justified.

Authors: Ahmed Rusal M , Mohammed Amira K
Published: January 2023

Lead has always been a health risk in developing countries. Lead severely affects liver function. Butyrate is effective in treating inflammatory disorders in animals. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether sodium butyrate mitigates lead acetate-induced hepatotoxicity. In this research, 40 adult female albino rats were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups for a duration of 35 days as follows: group 1 served as a control, group 2 received sodium butyrate (SB) orally at 200 mg/kg daily, group 3 received lead acetate (LA) orally at 50 mg/kg daily, and group 4 received both SB and LA (SB+LA) orally. Blood was collected for complete blood picture (CBC) and some serum biochemical evaluations. Liver samples were collected for histopathological examination. The rats that exposed to lead acetate showed a significant (P<0.05) elevation in globulin, total bilirubin, total serum protein, and total white blood cells with a decrease in total red blood cells, haemoglobin, and packed cell volume, while weight gain shows a significant (P<0.05) decrease in this group. Histologically showed pre-vascular infiltration of the nuclear cell. Body weight of Rat's gavage with sodium butyrate showed a substantial (P<0.05) increase, as well as there, were improvements in red blood cells RBC, haemoglobin, and packed cell volume PCV with the normal histological structure of the liver and no pathological lesion in hepatocyte. The fourth group (SB+LA) showed a significant (P<0.05) decrease in total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, and total white blood cells, while other tests in this group showed nearly the control group as a result of the effect of SB. In conclusion, sodium butyrate consumption effectively reduces the harmful effects of lead acetate and prevents liver damage.

Published: January 2023

Este artigo objetiva reportar sobre a implantação da política de reserva de vagas para negros/as na pós-graduação stricto sensu, da UFGD, localizada no estado do Mato Grosso do Sul. A pesquisa é documental, por meio de consulta em portarias, resoluções e editais de programas de pós-graduação do ano de 2018, pois foi quando iniciou a implantação desta política na instituição. Os dados coletados apontam que a UFGD somente aderiu à política de ações afirmativas na pós-graduação após a publicação da Portaria MEC nº 13/2016, que induziu nacionalmente os programas de pós-graduação de instituições públicas a adotarem reserva de vagas para negros, indígenas e deficientes. Constatou-se que a norma da instituição apenas estabeleceu o público alvo e o percentual de reserva (20% das vagas). Não há uma uniformidade para atuação da comissão de heteroidentificação para as vagas preenchidas para os/as autodeclarados/as negros/as, o que pode gerar o uso indevido destas autodeclarações.

Published: January 2023

Enquanto instrumento propiciador de um pensar decolonial e como meio de reconhecimento de epistemologias invisibilizadas pela ciência moderna, propomos apresentar uma possibilidade de observar o céu pela ótica dos povos indígenas Guarani Kaiowá, Guarani Ñandeva e Terena, habitantes do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul e em áreas urbanas. Sob as perspectivas de teóricos da decolonialidade, demonstramos uma postura emancipadora sobre Astronomia, História Indígena e Literatura ao adotarmos estudos tendentes a expressarem um pensar decolonial e a ideia de uma “ecologia de saberes” que possibilitam a recuperação de práticas e saberes de diferentes grupos sociais. Neste contexto, o livro O céu dos índios de Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, de Germano Bruno Afonso e Paulo Souza da Silva (2012), ilustra o caminho teórico-conceitual proposto para um pensar do Sul, rumo à pedagogias e democracias plurais.

PURPOSE: Our aim is to compare the pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes of male and female patients diagnosed with COPD.

METHODS: Outpatient PR program, consisting of 16 sessions, two times a week for two months was applied to the patients with COPD (41 males, 41 females). arterial blood gas (ABG) analyzes and pulmonary function tests (PFT), 6-minute walking test (6MWT), dyspnea scale (mMRC), health-related quality of life (QoL) questionnaire (SF-36), disease-specific health status (SGRQ) were applied to all participants before and after PR.

RESULTS: There was no statistically significant differences between the two groups before PR in terms of age, BMI, PFT parameters, and ABG results. Cigarette consumption was higher in men(p=0.02). Quality of life survey results (SGRQ, SF36), HAD anxiety, mMRC were similar in both groups before PR(p>0.05 for all).After PR, both clinical and statistically significant improvements were detected in 6mWD in both groups (p

Amaç: Prematüre doğan bebeklerin duyusal işlemleme problemlerine sahip oldukları bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; erken, geç prematüre ve term bebeklerin duyusal fonksiyonlarını karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Gelişimsel ve Erken Fizyoterapi Üniteleri tarafından takip edilen ve herhangi bir tanı almayan 16 erken prematüre (24-34 hafta), 16 geç prematüre (34-38 hafta) ve 16 term bebek (kontrol grubu; 38-42 hafta) dahil edildi. Ebeveynlere bebekler hakkında sorular içeren sosyo-demografik bilgi formu ve bebeklere duyusal fonksiyonlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla Bebeklerde Duyusal Fonksiyon Testi (BDFT) uygulandı. Grup karşılaştırmaları tek yönlü ANAVO testi ile analiz edildi. Sonuçlar: Erken prematüre ile geç prematüre grupları arasında dokunsal derin basınca tepki (p=0,008), oküler motor kontrol (p=0,004) ve toplam puan (p=0,008) alt parametrelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu. Ayrıca erken prematüre ile term grupları arasında dokunsal derin basınca tepki (p˂0,001), oküler motor kontrol (p˂0,001), vestibüler uyarana tepki (p˂0,001) ve toplam puan (p˂0,001) alt parametrelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu. Tartışma: Prematüre bebeklerde duyusal fonksiyon bozukluklarının doğum haftası arttığı gözlenmiştir. Bu nedenle pediatri alanında çalışan terapistlerin uyguladıkları terapiler öncesinde değerlendirme yaparken çocukların doğum haftalarını öğrenmeleri ve bu riske göre müdahale programlarını düzenlemeleri önemlidir.
Analisis Pandangan Masyarakat Bangkalan terhadap Produk dengan Label Halal
Authors: Susanti Susi , Mashudi
Published: January 2023

Produk berlabel halal adalah produk yang telah dinyatakan halal menurut syariat Islam danditetapkan oleh Kementerian Agama melalui Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Produk Halal(BPJPH) berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan LPPOM MUI. Dengan adanya label halal konsumen muslim tidak lagi ragu dalam mengkonsumsi produk yang dibeli. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pandangan masyarakat Bangkalan terhadap keberadaan produk berlabel halal tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan masyarakat Bangkalan khususnya Kecamatan Kamal tidak terlalu mempermasalahkan ada tidaknya label halal dalam suatu produk, sebab mereka berkeyakinan dengan penduduk yang mayoritas muslim, maka tentu barang yang diperjual belikan adalah barang yang halal dan aman meski tidak ada labelnya.
Praktik Jual Beli Jagung Pipil Kering antara Tengkulak dengan Pengepul Perspektif Etika Bisnis Islam
Authors: Khoirun Nikmah  , Abdul Rosyid
Published: January 2023

Praktik jual beli harus sesuai dengan syariat Islam dengan mengedepankan etika demi terwujudnya keberkahan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisa praktik jual beli jagung pipil kering yang dilakukan oleh tengkulak dan pengepul. Penelitian ini mengunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan sumber data dari tengkulak, pengepul dan peternak kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pengumpulan data yang menggunakan metode wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengoplosan kualitas jagung dan penimbunan yang dilakukan oleh tengkulak bersifat transparan, pengepul dan tengkulak sama-sama mengerti. Namun penimbangan yang dilakukan oleh pengepul meskipun bersifat terbuka rupanya tidak berjalan sebagaimana mestinya. Ada ketidakpastian jumlah penyusutan pada timbangan, tentunya hal ini merugikan tengkulak. Sehingga tengkulak pun juga melakukan kesalahan yang sama ketika menimbang jagung pipil dari petani juga melakukan ketidak jelasan penyusutan timbangan untuk meminimalisir kerugian tersebut. Jelas sekali model jual beli seperti ini tidak sesuai dengan etika bisnis Islam.

Исследовано влияние добавок в щелочно-фосфатно-силикатный электролит наночастиц SiO2 (средний размер 100 нм, концентрация 0,3 и 3 г/л) на характеристики оксидного слоя, формируемого плазменно-электролитическим оксидированием (ПЭО) на силумине АК7. Выявлен нелинейный характер влияния концентрации наночастиц на фазовый состав, долю аморфной фазы, характеристики кристаллитов (размер и микронапряжения), а также на толщину слоя, твердость, износостойкость и антикоррозионные характеристики оксидных слоев. Наименее дефектный и наиболее толстый слой, а также наиболее высокие защитные свойства, износостойкость и твердость наблюдаются у оксидных слоев, полученных при концентрации нанопорошка в электролите 0,3 г/л. Для этих же слоев характерна минимальная доля аморфной фазы и наибольший размер кристаллитов муллита.

Introduction: Notwithstanding, the reasons that make the youth consume substances at young age are very complex, and many studies conclude that youthful curiosity is a major determining factor that drives them into such behavior. This current study investigated curiosity as a predictor of substance use among senior high school students in Gomoa West District and Effutu Municipality. The study was guided by three research questions.

Method: It adopted the quantitative descriptive survey design.

Population: A sample of 260 senior high school students were selected using a probability sampling technique for the study.

Instruments: It adopted questionnaires on curiosity, substance use risk profile and substances and choices to collect data from respondents.

Data analysis: Data gathered were analyzed descriptively using frequencies, percentages and Pearson product-moment correlation.

Results: The study found that students were having low levels of alcohol and substance use curiosity. Also, the study revealed that the students’ substance use risk level was moderate. Furthermore, the study revealed a moderate relationship between alcohol and drug use curiosity and substance use risk among students.

Recommendations: It was recommended that among other things the management of senior high schools in Gomoa West District and Effutu Municipality should provide guidance and counselling services on substance use and its effects on the youth.

The purpose of the research is the study of the morphological structure of echinococcal cysts to assess the possibility of using organ-preserving methods of surgical treatment.Materials and methods. A clinical, instrumental, and morphological fundamental study was performed in the Surgical Clinic of the Botkin Hospital when radiation and morphological data in addition to clinical data were studied for 28 patients who underwent surgical treatment for liver echinococcosis. Excised gross specimens were examined to study the capsule structure, and the penetration of germinal elements of the cysts through membranes of the parasite (64 successively excised primary operated echinococcal cysts).Results and discussion. The fibrous capsule of the echinococcal cyst is a good barrier against Protoscolexes penetrating into the liver tissue. None of the 64 specimens studied in detail was found to have germinal elements of any echinococcal cyst penetrating through its fibrous capsule. The morphological justification of organ-preserving methods in the treatment of patients with liver echinococcosis allows a conclusion that these interventions are safe and radical.
