Bullying and Students with Disabilities: The Untold Narrative
Authors: Rose Chad A. , Swearer Susan M. , Espelage Dorothy L.
Published: April 2018

The documentary Bully was released nationwide in theaters in March 2012. Originally titled The Bully Project, the filmmakers followed five families whose lives had been turned upside down by bullying. Two of the families in the movie lost their sons, Tyler and Ty, to suicide, and three of the youth in the movie,Alex, Kelby, and Ja'Meya, were bullied in school and on the school bus. The movie shows the devastating consequences of bullying and the depressingly poor response on the part of adults. What the movie does not address is the mental health history of one of the boys, who commits suicide, as well as the developmental disabilities affecting another boy in the movie, who was born prematurely (Bazelon, 2012). Understandably, this is a difficult narrative. The filmmakers did not want to delve into the complexity of mental health issues and bullying for fear of creating a story line that those who are bullied are obvious victims. However, by not addressing the issues of ADHD, bipolar disorder, Asperger syndrome, and developmental disabilities, an important narrative was missed. Bullying is a complex phenomenon, and both mental health and physical health difficulties play into involvement in bullying. While there is no narrative that those who are bullied somehow deserve such egregious treatment, we shirk our professional responsibilities if we do not shed light on the compelling evidence that youth with disabilities are at great risk for involvement in bullying-both for bullying others and for being bullied (AbilityPath.org, 2011; Rose, Monda-Amaya, & Espelage, 2011). The purpose of this article is to review the research on bullying and students with disabilities and to propose an inclusive narrative: when differences are celebrated rather than used as fuel for maltreatment, a world will be created where bullying is not tolerated. This will be a better world for everyone.

Authors: V. Shashikala , S. B. Abhilash , G. Abhishek , Fernandes Prajwal S.
Published: April 2018

Background: Midline laparotomy is the most common technique of abdominal incisions in both emergency and elective settings. Wound dehiscence is related to several factors pertaining to patient besides suture material and method of closure. This study tries to compare continuous sutures with x-interrupted sutures in mass closure of midline laparotomy wound in patients undergoing emergency midline laparotomy for acute peritonitis.Methods: A total of 60 patients undergoing emergency midline laparotomy for secondary peritonitis were considered for the study, 30 of whom underwent closure of abdominal wall with continuous sutures (Group A) and the other 30 with x-interrupted sutures (Group B) using non-absorbable, monofilament, polypropylene suture. Necessary preoperative data, the time required for rectus closure, length of the suture material required, post-operative complications like surgical site infection, wound dehiscence were analyzed.Results: The groups were comparable in means of age and sex distribution. Group A was found to have lesser time for closure of rectus, lesser suture length and lesser suture to wound length ratio when compared with Group B. Surgical site infections were similar in both groups. Patients with rectus sheath sutured in x-interrupted sutures (n=2) had significantly less wound dehiscence as compared with continuous sutures (n=8) (p<0.05).Conclusions: Interrupted -X suture method of suturing reduces post-operative wound dehiscence, although requires more suture and consumes more time than the continuous method of suturing.

Published: April 2018

Background: Twin birth is associated with increased risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality and disadvantages in growth and neurodevelopmental status than singletons. Objective of present study was to analyze the clinical profile, growth pattern and neurodevelopmental outcome of twin babies on follow up for 6 months corrected gestational age.Methods: A prospective observational study was done in a tertiary care NICU in 81 pairs of twins (162 neonates). Initial assessment in terms of morbidities and mortality was followed by growth pattern and neurodevelopmental assesment using DDSTII of survived infants upto 6 months corrected gestational age.Results: Prematurity was present in 75% of twin gestation. 95.1% were LBW, 4.9% were normal birthweight. 38.9% were AGA babies and 61.1% were SGA babies. Moderate to severe growth discordancy, was identified in 17.2% of the twins. Mortality was inversely proportional to birth weight and gestational maturity and directly proportional to birth weight discordance. Most of the complications were attributed to prematurity and low birth weight. RDS, hypoglycemia (16%), Perinatal asphyxia (19%), NEC, shock, hyperbilirubinemia were major complications. Feeding difficulties need special attention. Group I (28-32 weeks) lagged behind group I (32-37 weeks) and group III (>37weeks) in all anthropometric parameters like weight, height and head circumference at all the ages. Growth velocity was in the order group I (28-32 weeks) >group II (32-37) >group III (>37). At 6 months of there was high incidence of abnormal neurodevelopmental outcome among twins according to gestational age. Hypoglycemia, Perinatal asphyxia, RDS, and NEC were risk factors of NDD.Conclusions: There is higher incidence adverse outcomes in terms of morbidity, mortality, growth and development among twins.
Effect of living environment on ear, nose and throat diseases: a cross sectional survey in rural areas of Rohtas district in Bihar
Authors: Kumar Sujeet , Aslami Ahmad Nadeem , Rai Tarkeshwar , Alwa Bhaskar
Published: April 2018

Background: Ear, nose and throat (ENT) diseases are very common in general population. Internal living environment can act an important risk factor for these diseases. In rural areas, patients do not consult ENT experts. So, free health camps can bring treatment facilities at their doorsteps. The objective of this study was to determine the pattern and prevalence of ENT diseases in rural areas of Sasaram, Rohats district, Bihar and to find out the effect of living environment on these diseases.

Methods: The study was conducted using camp approach in rural areas of Sasaram, Rohtas, Bihar. ENT and Community Medicine experts, interns along with audiologists, medico social workers, nurses and paramedical staff were voluntarily involved. The patients were screened and referred to ENT experts. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the internal environment factors associated with ENT diseases.  

Results: Out of 832 patients, 61.9% were suffering from ENT disorders. Most common age group affected was of 31-40 years. 54.8% of patients were suffering from ear diseases while nasal and throat problem was seen in 14.9% and 30.3% respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis of living environment conditions propounds that non-availability of cross ventilation in houses and overcrowding are most important factor influencing ENT diseases.

Conclusions: Free health camps conducted by medical experts act as an opportunity to screen people with various diseases of ENT in a community. Bad internal environment can act as a vital determinant for these diseases.

 
Should Premarital Screening for Blood Disorders be an Obligatory Measure in Oman?
Authors: Al-Balushi Amal A. , Al-Hinai Budoor
Published: April 2018

Due to the high rate of consanguineous marriages in Oman, there is a correspondingly high prevalence of hereditary blood disorders, particularly sickle cell disease and β-thalassaemia. This article proposes the possibility of implementing mandatory premarital carrier screening for blood disorders in Oman, while giving due consideration to potential social and cultural obstacles. Although the implementation of such legislation would require collaboration between different sectors and may negatively affect the autonomy of certain individuals, mandatory premarital screening would help to alleviate the burden of hereditary blood disorders on the national healthcare system, as well as reduce avoidable suffering among carriers and their families.

Authors: Al-Rahman Munira , Al Kindi Mahmood , Kutty Ibrahim , Al-Kalbani Ibrahim , Alshekaili Jalila
Published: April 2018

Objectives: The presence of abnormally high levels of Aspergillus fumigatus-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibodies can serve as a diagnostic criterion for severe conditions like allergic bronchopulmonary and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. This study aimed to determine a reference range of A. fumigatus-specific IgG levels within a healthy adult Omani population. Methods: This study took place during November 2015 at the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman. The sera of 125 healthy Omani blood donors were tested for A. fumigatus-specific IgG levels using an automated fluorescence enzyme immunoassay. Results: Initially, the data were not normally distributed; however, log transformation and the exclusion of four outliers resulted in an acceptable Gaussian distribution. The reference range was 2.0–68.7 mgA/L at the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles, respectively, with 90% confidence intervals of 2.0–3.0 mgA/L and 48.0–76.0 mgA/L, respectively. Conclusion: The A. fumigatus-specific IgG reference range within a healthy adult Omani population was comparable to those reported in other populations.
Synovial Haemangioma of the Elbow: A rare paediatric case and imaging dilemma
Authors: Hoe Han G. , Zaki Faizah M. , Rashid Abdul H. A.
Published: April 2018

Synovial haemangiomas are rare benign vascular proliferations arising in synovium-lined surfaces. While the knee is by far the joint most commonly involved, this condition can also occur in the elbow. We report an eight-year-old boy who presented to the National University of Malaysia Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2016 with a left elbow swelling of one year’s duration. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a lobulated intraarticular mass with intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging and low signal punctate and linear structures within the hyperintense mass on T2-weighted imaging. In addition, there was heterogeneous yet avid contrast enhancement on post-gadolinium contrast images. The mass had juxta-articular extension and bony erosion to the coronoid process and the head of the radius. Synovial haemangiomas present a diagnostic dilemma. This report highlights certain imaging characteristics to distinguish this entity from other differential diagnoses.

This article explores how teenagers from a small rural community in northern Norway experience making career choices, in the intersection between individual needs and community values. Interviews with 10th graders in the process of making their first manifest career choice – choosing upper secondary – shows that whether or not the teenagers identify with the community and see a future there or not, is of major importance. The consequential preference for education and acquisition of competence, either strengthen or weaken the ties with the community, becoming a determinant of who leaves, and who stays.
Career services for international students: Comparison of case studies of higher education institutions in Europe
Authors: Zeltner Erik
Published: April 2018

The rising number of international students and their successful transition from higher education (HE) into the graduate labour market is a challenge for students but has also become a critical factor for host higher education institutions (HEIs). This development and general lack of quality in careers service provision for internationals raises strategic and service issues. Based on case studies generated from three European HEIs, I provide a contrasting analysis on careers service provision by taking current trends and developments and the views of careers representatives on the expectations of international students into account.

Authors: Ameur Houari , Boukhadia Karima
Published: April 2018

A numerical study of the flow over a NACA aerofoil is presented in this paper. The numerical simulations are achieved with the computer code CFX and the computational domain is created by the computer tool ANSYS ICEM CFD. The CFX code is based on the finite volume method to solve the equations of mass, momentum and energy. The purpose of this paper is to determine the pressure distribution, flow patterns and the forces acting on the airfoil. Effects of the attack angle and Reynolds number on the velocity and pressure distribution, on the lift and drag coefficients are also explored.
Neurectomía laparoscópica transabdominal preperitoneal como tratamiento de la inguinodinia. Experiencia personal y detalles de la técnica quirúrgica
Authors: Moreno Egea Alfredo
Published: April 2018

Introducción: El dolor inguinal crónico es actualmente la complicación más temida después de una hernioplastia. Su impacto sobre la calidad de vida del paciente y su repercusión sanitaria son de primera magnitud. El objetivo de este estudio es presentar nuestra experiencia con la neurectomia laparoscópica.Método: Estudio prospectivo y consecutivo, realizado en una Unidad de Pared Abdominal, que incluye 21 pacientes operados por dolor crónico refractario a tratamiento conservador durante más de 1 año mediante abordaje laparoscópico. Como variable principal se valora el dolor que se cuantifica mediante cuestionario y la necesidad de analgésicos. Como variable secundaria se registra la morbilidad perioperatoria.Resultados: El tiempo quirúrgico medio fue de 55 (DS 18) minutos. No hubo complicaciones intraoperatorias. Todos los pacientes tuvieron confirmación histológica de la neurectomía. Se encontraron variaciones anatómicas en 13 pacientes (61.9 %), siendo el nervio ilioinguinal / iliohipogástrico tronco común el más frecuente. En un paciente se seccionó por error el nervio femorocutáneo (4.7 %). Fue reoperado 6 meses después para completar la neurectomía del nervio ilioinguinal. Los medicamentos para el dolor neuropático fueron continuados por 5 pacientes. El dolor fue eliminado por completo en 15 pacientes (71.4 %).Conclusión: El tratamiento adecuado de los pacientes con dolor neural crónico exige de la existencia de Unidades Multidisciplinares Especializadas en Pared Abdominal. La neurectomía laparoscópica transabdominal preperitoneal es un abordaje seguro y con una eficacia adecuada siempre que se realice en pacientes muy bien seleccionados.Una adecuada formación anatomoquirúrgica es esencial para evitar lesiones inadvertidas durante el proceso de adquisición de capacitación.

Aportes al concepto de realidad: punto de partida para la transformación de sistemas
Authors: Builes Vasco Lina María , Gutiérrez Taborda Diana Cristina
Published: April 2018

El presente artículo desarrolla la noción de realidad en terapia familiar desde una  revisión documental en torno a los abordajes  del autor Paul Watzlawick y otros autores de la Escuela de Palo Alto en el Estado de California, quienes se interesaron por ampliar el panorama de la realidad desde una perspectiva sistémica; para ello se plantean cuatro categorías fundamentales: la realidad, la realidad como producto de la comunicación, la realidad en la terapia familiar sistémica, y en la terapia breve. Se evidencia la importancia que tiene la comprensión de las realidades sobre los procesos terapéuticos para efectos de cambio y transformación en los consultantes.

The purpose of this study was to broaden the basic knowledge of corneal morphological structures in pigs, cows and rabbits and to find morphological and histological differences in the constituent corneal structures. After slaughter, corneal samples of 24 animals, including cows, pigs and rabbits, were investigated. Forty-eight eyeballs (n=48) of 8 pigs, 8 cows and 8 rabbits were used for this study. Central corneal thickness (CCT) values in cows were higher than those in pigs (P < 0.001) and rabbits. In rabbits, CCT, as a percentage of the eye axis length, was 55.03% greater than in cows and 40.55% greater than in pigs (P<0.001). The thickness of substantia propria (stroma) depended on the species and accounted for more than 80% of the thickness of all layers of the cornea. The thickness of the anterior epithelium amounted to 15.81% of the thickness of all layers of the cornea in cows, 11.79% in pigs, and 8.48% in rabbits (P<0.001). The data analysis showed that the caudal limiting membrane + endothelium was the thinnest layer of the cornea, with thickness ranging from 0.88% to 2.40% of the total thickness of all layers of the cornea in the three species under study (P<0.001). A statistically significant negative correlation was determined between the anterior epithelium and substantia propria in corneas of cows, pigs and rabbits (P<0.001). This paper describes the morphometric parameters of the cornea in pigs, cows and rabbits. These parameters will be of use to scientists using animal models in vision science research. .
Nas trilhas de Leo Waibel: pesquisas alemãs de geografia humana do Brasil - de Heidelberg a Tübingen (1950-2005)
Authors: Kohlhepp Gerd
Published: April 2018

A cooperação entre a geografia alemã e brasileira, aspirada por Waibel, foi iniciada em 1950 por seu aluno Pfeifer que ampliou consideravelmente a temática das pesquisas da geografia econômica e regional sobre o Brasil na Universidade de  Heidelberg. Kohlhepp, colaborador de Pfeifer iniciou então os estudos sobre geografia industrial e agrária no sul do Brasil. A partir de 1972, Kohlhepp atuava em Frankfurt fundando no Instituto de Geografia em Tübingen, a partir de 1978, o Centro de Pesquisas sobre a América Latina (CPAL) com enfoque no Brasil e com estreita cooperação bilateral. Os projetos de pesquisa na Amazônia,  no Brasil Central, no Sudeste e Sul trataram de temas como a colonização agrária, frentes pioneiras e desenvolvimento regional, mudança da estrutura agrária, globalização, regionalização, mega projetos, desenvolvimento urbano nas cidades pioneiras e metrópoles como também problemas de meio ambiente. Kohlhepp como professor emérito em 2005 e Coy atendendo convite para atuar em  Innsbruck (Austria), as pesquisas da geografia humana sobre o Brasil terminaram em Tübingen, sendo hoje levadas adiante por outros Institutos.
Exploiting symbiotic interactions between Chlorella protothecoides and Brevundimonas diminuta for an efficient single-step urban wastewater treatment
Authors: Pastore Martina , Sforza Eleonora
Published: April 2018

The application of microalgal bacteria consortia to the treatment of wastewater is receiving increasing attention, meeting the demand for new green and efficient technologies for water remediation. The specificity of the consortium, however, may strongly affect the performance of the treatment. In fact, even though a general exploitation of the O2/CO2 exchange between microalgae and bacteria is effective, some specific interactions may increase the pollutant removal. With this aim, the co-cultivation of Chlorella protothecoides and Brevundimonas diminuta was tested, with particular attention to the removal capability of nitrogen, phosphorus and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from wastewater. Batch experiments were carried out both for the consortium and, separately, for the bacteria and microalgae alone, in order to compare their performances. B. diminuta showed a remarkable capability for removing organic substances and transforming organic nitrogen to ammonium. C. protothecoides efficiently removed nitrogen and phosphorus. As the specific growth rates of the two organisms are different, the co-cultivation was also carried out also in a continuous system, and the effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the steady-state biomass concentration and nutrient removal efficiency was verified. Residence time was found as the main operating variable for obtaining a significant reduction of pollutants from wastewater.
The Role of Formyl Peptide Receptors for Immunomodulatory Activities of Antimicrobial Peptides and Peptidomimetics
Authors: Skovbakke Sarah Line , Holdfeldt Andre , Forsman Huamei , Bylund Johan , Franzyk Henrik
Published: April 2018

In recent years, the therapeutic potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as immunomodulators has
become generally accepted. Nevertheless, only very few AMP-based compounds have progressed into clinical
trials. This paradox may be explained by the fact, that some of the intrinsic properties of natural peptides, such as
proteolytic and oxidative instability, render them inconvenient as therapeutics. Therefore, substantial research
efforts have been dedicated to mimic the physico-chemical properties as well as biological activities of AMPs by
designing and identifying more stable peptidomimetics displaying analogous immunomodulatory activity profiles.
Neutrophils play key roles in host defense as major effector cells in clearance of pathogens by phagocytosis
and by regulating other processes of innate immunity as well as by promoting resolution of inflammation. Several
aspects of these effects are correlated to their expression of formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) that have been shown
to be targets of both natural and synthetic antimicrobial peptides. In the present review recent findings highlighting
the role of FPRs in mediating immunomodulatory activities of natural and synthetic AMPs as well as of stabilized
peptidomimetics are discussed, and prospects for future development of immunomodulatory therapeutics are
presented.

Published: April 2018

El estudio tuvo como objetivos específicos estimar el comportamiento agronómico, la interacción genotipo por semestre (G x S) y la heterosis útil (HU), para el rendimiento planta-1 (RFP), número de frutos planta-1 (NFP) y peso fruto-1 (PPF), en siete híbridos experimentales de zapallo y sus ocho progenitores, durante dos semestres agrícolas (2003B y 2004A) en el municipio de Candelaria (Valle del Cauca). Se utilizó un diseño de bloques completos al azar con cinco repeticiones. Se detectaron diferencias estadísticas (Pr<0.05 ó Pr<0.01) entre semestres para RFP y PPF. Los genotipos mostraron diferencias altamente significativas en los tres caracteres estudiados. La interacción G x S no fue significativa para ninguno de los caracteres. El semestre 2003B presentó las mejores condiciones agroecológicas para la mayor expresión del RFP y PPF. Los híbridos LBV x LA126, LSO x LA34 y LBV x LA34, superaron al testigo comercial ‘Bolo Verde’ (17.7 kg planta-1), con valores de HU en RFP del 24.9, 24.3 y 11.3%, respectivamente. El híbrido LBV x LA34, sobresalió por sus mayores ventajas agronómicas en relación a ‘Bolo Verde’, constituyéndose en alternativa potencial para mejorar la competitividad del cultivo de zapallo para el mercado de fruto fresco del interior del país.
