Nowadays there is progressive increase in the number of patients with allergy around the world. It was revealed that microbiome composition changes at early age correlate with the frequency of atopic diseases development. Various clinical studies have shown that variety of factors (even from prenatal development) influence microbiota composition. Children with atopic diseases have certain features of microflora development that can precede the disease debut. Cow’s milk protein is one of the major allergens in the first year of life. Such sensitization may be present in children on both formula and breastfeeding, however it is not the indication for its interruption. In cases when breastfeeding is not possible, we should use specialized therapeutic formulas in children with cow’s milk protein allergy. The use of the “Nutrilon Amino acids Syneo" formula effectively eliminates allergy symptoms and improves the gut microbiota composition in young children. Moreover, its use additionally reduce the frequency of infectious diseases and the use of antibacterial drugs.

Published: August 2021

The objective of the work was to analyze the uniformity of drip fertigation compared to the use of water alone, analyzing by the Tukey test at 5% significance for CUC and DUC, defining the process capability from the process capacity index (Pc) . The experiment was carried out on a test bench in the irrigation and fertigation laboratory (LIF) of the University of Western Paraná, where in the first treatment, water was used for the irrigation process and in the second treatment, commercial fertilizer was diluted in the reservoir to perform the fertigation. The experimental statistics is constituted in an analysis of variance with subsequent unfolding of the interaction and Tukey test at 5% probability to compare the averages of uniformities, flow and pressure of the system. Finally, the process capability (Pc) was defined for the distribution uniformity variable. The results showed statistical superiority for the fertigation process, however, it is noteworthy, that both treatments achieved excellence in their classifications with values ​​above 90% for both CUC and DUC, according to the reference.

Published: August 2021

The main purpose of this work is to define Rough Statistical \(\Lambda\)-Convergence of order \(\alpha\) \((0<\alpha\leq1)\) in normed linear spaces. We have proved some basic properties and also provided some examples to show that this method of convergence is more generalized than the rough statistical convergence. Further, we have shown the results related to statistically \(\Lambda\)-bounded sets of order \(\alpha\) and sets of rough statistically \(\Lambda\)-convergent sequences of order \(\alpha\).
ON ZYGMUND–TYPE INEQUALITIES CONCERNING POLAR DERIVATIVE OF POLYNOMIALS
Authors: Rather Nisar Ahmad , Gulzar Suhail , Bhat Aijaz
Published: August 2021

Let \(P(z)\) be a polynomial of degree \(n\), then concerning the estimate for maximum of \(|P'(z)|\) on the unit circle, it was proved by S. Bernstein that \(\| P'\|_{\infty}\leq n\| P\|_{\infty}\). Later, Zygmund obtained an \(L_p\)-norm extension of this inequality. The polar derivative \(D_{\alpha}[P](z)\) of \(P(z)\), with respect to a point \(\alpha \in \mathbb{C}\), generalizes the ordinary derivative in the sense that \(\lim_{\alpha\to\infty} D_{\alpha}[P](z)/{\alpha} = P'(z).\) Recently, for polynomials of the form \(P(z) = a_0 + \sum_{j=\mu}^n a_jz^j,\) \(1\leq\mu\leq n\) and having no zero in \(|z| < k\) where \(k > 1\), the following Zygmund-type inequality for polar derivative of \(P(z)\) was obtained: $$\|D_{\alpha}[P]\|_p\leq n \Big(\dfrac{|\alpha|+k^{\mu}}{\|k^{\mu}+z\|_p}\Big)\|P\|_p, \quad \text{where}\quad |\alpha|\geq1,\quad p>0.$$In this paper, we obtained a refinement of this inequality by involving minimum modulus of \(|P(z)|\) on \(|z| = k\), which also includes improvements of some inequalities, for the derivative of a polynomial with restricted zeros as well.

RESUMO Este estudo objetivou avaliar, na perspectiva das Pessoas Vivendo com HIV/Aids (PVHA), uso e satisfação com os serviços públicos de saúde bucal no Sistema Único de Saúde em Fortaleza (CE). Aplicaram-se questionários estruturados sobre perfil socioeconômico, uso e satisfação dos serviços públicos de saúde bucal para 241 PVHA que frequentam 8 Serviços de Assistência Especializada em HIV/Aids. A idade média dos usuários foi de 37,8 ± 9,6 anos; 161 (68,3%) do sexo masculino; com ensino médio completo (n=79; 32,8%); 59 (24,5%) ganham até 1 salário mínimo (US$ 255). Apenas 155 (64,3%) foram ao dentista nos dois anos anteriores. Destes, 68 (28,2%) frequentavam serviços públicos, 31 (45,6%) dos quais não completaram o tratamento por falta de materiais/equipamentos defeituosos/reformas nas unidades de saúde. A nota média atribuída pelo paciente ao atendimento dos profissionais foi 7,6 (±2,5), 50 (73,6%) declararam-se muito satisfeitos/satisfeitos. Quanto ao atendimento humanizado, 59 (86,7%) estavam muito satisfeitos/satisfeitos. Pacientes encaminhados pelo Serviços de Assistência Especializada em HIV/Aids e os que residem perto das unidades de saúde tiveram probabilidade significativamente maior de usar os serviços públicos. Apesar do uso limitado dos serviços públicos de saúde bucal, principalmente devido ao acesso insuficiente e aos procedimentos ineficazes de agendamento, os serviços usados pelos entrevistados foram avaliados satisfatoriamente.

RESUMO Práticas estéticas e corporais têm ocupado um lugar significativo na atenção psicossocial, no contexto da Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira. Propostas que inventam outras formas de produção de saúde e de subjetividade, associadas à participação social, têm valorizado a diversidade de formas de expressão em saúde mental e a diferença nas formas de existência. Com o intuito de estudar essas práticas e criar um campo de comunicação e produção coletiva de suas singularidades e seu plano comum, um grupo de pesquisadores se reuniu no Programa de Pós-graduação em Psicologia da Universidade Estadual Paulista e desenvolveu pesquisas articuladas ao projeto ‘Práticas estéticas e corporais na atenção psicossocial: processos de criação e produção de subjetividade’. Nessas pesquisas, foram exploradas as relações entre arte e saúde mental, a produção das políticas públicas relacionadas ao campo, o desenvolvimento das práticas clínicas, artísticas e culturais e a formulação de conceitos e perspectivas teóricas que sustentem essas práticas. Neste texto, serão apresentadas, brevemente, as políticas públicas de saúde e cultura que foram desenvolvidas no Brasil nos últimos 30 anos, sua articulação intersetorial e algumas experiências práticas nesse campo, que temos desenvolvido e pesquisado.
Even in death, unsilenced: Afro-Brazilian art as identity fortification instruments among medicine students
Authors: Moreira Marina
Published: August 2021

RESUMO Assolada pela violência e pela discriminação racial, a população negra integra os piores índices de vulnerabilidade à violência e indicadores de saúde. A Política Nacional de Saúde Integral da População Negra reconhece o racismo enquanto central na produção de iniquidades, mas não é capaz de superar a influência das teorias eugênicas no campo de saúde. Embora sejam parte expressiva dos profissionais da saúde, mulheres negras continuam encarando a inexpressiva produção de conhecimento sobre sua própria saúde. Questionando essa realidade excludente, este relato de experiência teve o objetivo de explorar a utilização da técnica de estêncil como instrumento de resistência para construção identitária e demarcação de território por alunas e alunos de medicina atingidos por processos de marginalização. Utilizando-se de materiais comuns ao cotidiano de profissionais de saúde, foi possível retratar diferentes imagens relevantes para a luta das minorias e para a identidade pessoal dos participantes. A partir da cultura negra, essa oficina atuou como centro de ensino e de mobilização social, possibilitando a criação de instrumentos de resistência e autoafirmação.

Published: August 2021

RESUMO Mudanças epidemiológicas decorrentes do envelhecimento populacional motivaram transformações nos sistemas de saúde mundiais. Desde 1990, emergem discussões sobre Cuidados Intermediários (CI), visando diminuir hospitalizações, melhorar a coordenação do cuidado e estimular políticas públicas de cuidados próximos ao território. Este trabalho objetivou apresentar e analisar a literatura científica sobre CI, enfatizando serviços de Hospitais Comunitários. Realizou-se uma revisão integrativa, combinando os descritores “Intermediate Care”, “Community Hospitals”, “Intermediate Care Facilities”, “Long-Term Care”, “Hospitals Chronic Disease” e “Rehabilitation Services”, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, nas bases Portal Regional da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, PubMed e Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações. Após processo de busca e elegibilidade, foram incluídos 30 documentos para síntese qualitativa, provenientes de: Reino Unido, Noruega, Espanha, Dinamarca, Austrália e Itália. Resultados apontam para a eficácia, a efetividade e a eficiência dos CI, com boas avaliações por parte de profissionais e usuários. Os CI, como estratégia de fortalecimento da Atenção Primária à Saúde, redução de internações, favorecimento da independência funcional dos pacientes e seu retorno à comunidade, apresentam-se como uma inovação em saúde e aposta promissora. Entretanto, persistem lacunas na literatura que ensejam mais estudos sobre o tema, com vistas a subsidiar a tomada de decisão.

Evolution of the optimum ultrasonic testing frequency of alkali-activated soil–ash
Authors: Ferreira C. , Rios S. , Cristelo N. , Viana da Fonseca A.
Published: August 2021

Monitoring the curing process of mixtures produced by soil, fly ash and alkaline solution can be effectively performed by ultrasonic measurements of compression and shear wave velocities. These measurements detect the evolution of stiffness with time, as a result of alkali-activated ash reactions. Conventionally, ultrasonic testing relies on the use of a fixed input frequency, corresponding to the nominal frequency of the transducer, for which a maximum response is expected from the transducers. This procedure, however, has shown some limitations especially when applied to materials under curing, in which stiffness is changing with time. To overcome these limitations, a wide range of frequencies, from 24 to 200 kHz, was used at each of the selected curing periods for determining wave travel time, instead of a single frequency reading. The results show a clear increase in the optimum frequency with curing time, indicating that the ultrasound testing frequency should be adjusted to account for the stiffness increase due to curing. Additionally, the use of frequencies other than the nominal frequency of the ultrasonic transducers generated clearer signals, particularly at early curing periods.
Khoekhoegowab tone sandhi: New experimental evidence
Authors: Kusmer Leland Paul
Published: August 2021

Khoekhoegowab has a tone sandhi process that replaces each underlying tonal melody with an arbitrary secondary melody. This process at first appears to be an unusual example of a "left-dominant" sandhi process in the sense of Yue-Hashimoto (1987) or Zhang (2007). Within a given domain, the leftmost word retains its base from, but the other words undergo paradigmatic substitution; left-dominant systems typically involve spreading of a tonal melody rather than substitution. However, this description of Khoekhoegowab sandhi seems to break down when we consider verbs. Prior descriptions disagree as to whether verb sandhi depends on the placement of a tense-marking clitic (Haacke 1999) or the embedding status of the clause (Brugman 2009). This paper presents the results of a new prosodic production experiment aimed at resolving this conflict. The result is a hybrid generalization: verbs in matrix clauses undergo sandhi when preceded by a tense marker, but verbs in embedded clauses resist sandhi across the board. Thus, Khoekhoegowab continues to look like an exceptional left-dominant system: The verb and tense marking form a sandhi domain in matrix clauses (triggering sandhi on the verb whenever it is not leftmost within that domain), but in embedded clauses verbs form their own independent domain instead.

Published: August 2021

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) has several trigger factors, including physical exertion, pregnancy, and the intake of vasoconstrictive agents. These triggers activate the sympathetic nervous system and induce vasoconstriction, thereby leading to an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. In this study, we describe case of RCVS in a 73-year-old woman who complained of sudden bilateral leg weakness after taking cyclophosphamide for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis. She was diagnosed with concurrent cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction with multiple intracranial vasoconstrictions on imaging analyses.

Published: August 2021

El artículo discute los procesos de intersubjetividad de una etnografía acerca de las prácticas femeninas de cuidado comunitario que se expresan en los clubes de personas mayores en Santiago de Chile. En un primer momento, situaremos los inicios de nuestro interés por el envejecimiento femenino vinculándolo a los hallazgos de un proyecto de investigación anterior y, simultáneamente, por inesperados sucesos personales. En segundo lugar, dilucidaremos cómo hemos diseñado un nuevo proyecto proponiendo una etnografía feminista que diera protagonismo a las mujeres mayores en su rol como constructoras de redes femeninas de cuidado comunitario. En el tercer momento, entraremos a la trastienda de la investigación reflexionando sobre la negociación de las distinciones que hemos desarrollado con estas mujeres en sus clubes. Concluimos invitando a una reflexión sobre el lugar de la intersubjetividad en procesos etnográficos en los cuales la experiencia comunitaria está interpelada por la reciprocidad de los cuidados femeninos.
La regulació emocional en nens i nenes amb altes capacitats
Authors: Uceda Pérez Beatriz
Published: August 2021

Les altes capacitats són un col·lectiu envoltat de múltiples mites que dificulten conèixer i atendre de la millor manera possible aquest grup. Un d'aquests mites és, per exemple, que les persones amb altes capacitats són perfectes en tot, i això fa que no es tinguin en compte les possibles discrepàncies en el seu ritme evolutiu o les dificultats que pugui tenir aquest col·lectiu. Es tracta de dificultats en diferents àmbits, com ara en l'emocional. Així que s'investiga si els nens i les nenes amb altes capacitats mostren dificultats de regulació emocional, i se n'analitzen les emocions, específicament: la frustració, la culpa, la tristesa, la por i la ràbia.La investigació realitzada permet concloure que els nens i les nenes amb altes capacitats mostren dificultats per regular les emocions i, especialment, la frustració i la ràbia. També, que no tenen prou estratègies de regulació emocional. A més, que les causes de la dificultat de regulació emocional poden ser per la discrepància entre el desenvolupament intel·lectual i l'emocional, i per la seva alta sensibilitat, i això els genera  conseqüències, especialment en els àmbits personal, social, familiar i acadèmic.

Contending Philosophical Foundation in International Wildlife Law: A Discourse Analysis of CITES and the Bern Convention
Authors: Rodríguez Goyes David
Published: August 2021

Most analyses of international wildlife law (IWL) focus on the specifics of implementing particular policies, while there is less engagement with the fundamental philosophies underpinning international conventions. In this article, I argue that a philosophical analysis can achieve a deeper understanding of IWL by helping to identify, assess and compare worldviews reflected in these instruments. Additionally, a philosophical analysis can make visible how international wildlife conventions shape human perceptions of and attitudes towards nature. Based on these premises, I subject two international wildlife conventions that are central to wildlife management in Europe, namely, the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), to philosophical scrutiny. I argue, first, that the philosophical underpinnings of these instruments are in contention, indicating that their policies might well counteract each other. Second, I postulate that the broad significance of this contention is that the resulting ambivalence when IWL instruments are involved in the same conversation and about the same territoriality results in such high discretional powers for states that they stop being bounded by the conventions’ substratum and can limit themselves to only following the formalities.

Wildlife Protection in Germany: Sound Legislation and Deficient Implementation
Authors: Stefes Christoph
Published: August 2021

National, European, and international legislation regulates wildlife protection in Germany. Germany has comprehensively codified into national legislation numerous international and regional treaties. Furthermore, European Union regulations are directly binding in its Member States. Yet Germany’s implementation of wildlife protection laws remains wanting. The gap between the country’s comprehensive legal framework and related enforcement is glaring. Germany’s decentralized administrative structure embedded in its federal system is the main impediment to better implementation of wildlife protection laws. While the country’s federal structure might stand in the way of more centralized enforcement, a more coordinated approach still offers a realistic remedy to narrow the gap between Germany’s legislation and enforcement. This article discusses Germany’s wildlife protection laws, analyzes its enforcement approach, and recommends ways to improve.

Published: August 2021

We report the protocol relative to the experimental project "Sanctions and international interaction improve cooperation to avert climate change", which connected through the internet pairs of laboratories from Kiel and Bonn (Germany) and Moscow and Tomsk (Russia). The connection was realized through Z-Tree. Each research session comprised 24 participants, who were randomly allocated to four groups, whose members were three from one laboratory and three from the other. After receiving instructions and passing a comprehension test, participants interacted over ten rounds. Each participant had a fixed allocation of money in each round, which could have been kept for oneself or contributed to a group account. Contributions decreased the probability that every group member would suffer a 75% loss in their personal account at the end of the interaction. A random draw determined whether the loss event occurred, and individual payoffs were paid privately in cash at the end of the session. Each session was run under one of eight treatments, where (a) the group partners were either from the same country or from different countries, (b) information on the other group's nationality was either revealed or not, (c) sanctioning others in the group was either possible or not.

Cosmopolitanism and Multilingualism in a Globalized World: Perspectives on the Lack of Foreign Language Learning in the US
Authors: Stein-Smith Kathleen
Published: August 2021

Although cosmopolitanism has a long history, it has become even more relevant in the global era and, especially, since the COVID-19 global pandemic has made communication and understanding across cultures more important than ever. Multilingualism is the essential cosmopolitan skill and tool, empowering those who are proficient in one or more additional languages to understand, and to communicate and interact with others more effectively. The United States suffers from a foreign language deficit, and there is an urgent need to build both motivation and interest in other languages along with sustainable skills in other languages in the US. Steps to effectively address this deficit include prioritizing language learning and use, and providing the opportunity to all interested students to learn one or more additional languages.
Chinese Emotional Two-character Word Processing in Sentence Reading
Authors: Fang Jiaming , Li Degao , Cao Shuo
Published: August 2021

Compared to the processing of the words alone, the processing of Chinese two-character words in sentences will be closer to a natural scenario, and the understanding of the sentence will be influenced by both linguistic contexts and the non-linguistic contexts. This study, in a moving-window self-paced word-by-word sentence reading task, experimentally explored the processing of Chinese sentences with emotional two-character words using reversible words and reaction time as materials and index respectively. The experimental results showed that emotional words may facilitate the processing of its following two words; there might exist subsequent processing in the third word behind the emotional word; there might exist lexical access and whole-word access, processing of morpheme positioned information in the processing of Chinese two-character words in sentence reading; the processing of Chinese two-character words may be similar with that of word alone. This study expands the research of Chinese emotional two-character words processing.
A Cognitive Approach to Semantic Disorientation in Mandarin I —Theoretical Prerequisites and a Case Study
Authors: Yang Ting
Published: August 2021

Semantic disorientation refers to the phenomenon where sentence constituents with direct syntactic relations have no direct semantic linkage. The phenomenon is ubiquitous in Mandarin and related structures have been frequent research topics in the field of Chinese language study. However, there’s no systemic description of their syntactic and semantic features, nor in-depth exploration of the linguistic and non-linguistic motivations. From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, the current study approaches this phenomenon with a usage-based and non-derivational language view. The phenomenon is defined and categorized on the cognitive and psychological basis and a descriptive and explanative frame-work is built for a more accurate and adequate account of the phenomenon. The syntactic and semantic features, as well as the linguistic and non-linguistic motivations of the disoriented verb-complement constructions are addressed as a case study.

In the spring 2020, the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic quickly spread across Finland, having significant negative consequences for people’s living conditions. On March 16, 2020, the Finnish government declared a state of emergency and imposed several restrictive measures that were in effect until July 16, 2020 [13; 16]. The coronavirus and its aftermath have weakened the resilience of the Finnish welfare state, thereby challenging the welfare state’s ability to protect those most in need of its support. Recent studies have shown that the most vulnerable populations, such as children, are most affected by the negative effects of the pandemic in Finland and worldwide [5; 9; 11; 14; 18]. In autumn 2020, the Central Union for Child Welfare (CUCW) and the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) conducted a large-scale survey among the heads of child protection authorities (15.08.—13.10.2020), the aim of which was to find out how the consequences of the coronavirus and government restrictions have affected the well-being of children and their families who are clients of child protection authorities during the fall 2020. This article presents the main results and conclusions of the survey.

COVID-19 (coronavirus), which emerged in Wuhan, China, spread all over the world in a short time. World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic on the 11th of March 2020, when the first case was seen in Turkey. According to the data of the World Health Organization, the COVID-19 virus has been seen in 114 countries and 4,291 people have died so far. Strict measures began to be taken in our country after the case was seen. First of all, schools were provided for online education transition. Later, entertainment venues were closed, and sports matches were suspended. As a result, during the pandemic period, various events, especially concerts, were broadcasted online on different platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. In this study, online Instagram concerts in the period of April-May 2020, by the time the cases first increased in Turkey, will be examined. The transformation of the concept of space has accelerated with the pandemic period. This transformation acting based on the assumption that music concerts, where concrete space is significant, are separated from time and space with new media technologies. Henri Lefebvre's concept of space is emphasized, and the decentralization of concert venues is explained over the concept of time, and space of flows proposed by Manuel Castells. In the study, a focus group study was conducted with 8 people who attended Instagram concerts in the specified time interval, and the data obtained were compared with the theoretical level and tried to be verified.
The Transformation of Computer Games to Ideological Devices: a Review Through the Mobile Legends Game
Authors: Vatansever Özlem
Published: July 2021

Today, mass media constitute the widespread sharing, transmission and transmission channels of societies, and games played on the computer, which is a mass communication tool, are also accepted as an important media tool. These games are an activity tool where individuals of all ages, especially the young generation, evaluate their spare time, relieve stress and participate to have fun. Since computer games have become widespread, they have gained popularity day by day as they have the opportunity to convey personal ideas and ideologies of individuals. In this context, the national feelings of individuals also manifest themselves in games. The nationalistic attitudes and behaviors of individuals, which are revealed by computer games, which are one of the most popular technological developments of the 21st century, constitute the subject of the research. In this context, Mobile Legends, one of the most played games in the world, was selected and the user dialogues with the winners of the game in Turkey gave direction to the research. The fact that the communities in the game are divided according to nationalities and compete with the flags of their own country has been important for the selection of the game. The relationship of the individual with the flag has been revealed by the analyzes taken from the Turkey Values Research.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory infection that has rapidly become a global pandemic and vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been developed with great success. In this article, we would like to present a patient who developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), which is a serious complication after receiving the inactive SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (CoronaVac). Case report – A 76-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with nine days of progressive limb weakness. Two weeks prior to admission, he received the second dose of CoronaVac vaccine. Motor examination revealed decreased extremity strength with 3/5 in the lower extremities versus 4/5 in the upper extremities. Deep tendon reflexes were absent in all four extremities. Nerve conduction studies showed predominantly reduced amplitude in both motor and sensory nerves, consistent with AMSAN (acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy). Clinicians should be aware of the neuro­logical complications or other side effects associated with COVID-19 vaccination so that early treatment can be an option.

Flow behaviour and thermal separation mechanism on vortex tubes have been studied numer-ically. Rapid expansion indicated by high-pressure gradient near the inlet and the exit ports contributes to energy separation on the parallel and the counter flow vortex tubes. It creates a cooling process at the core region and drives an internal and rotational energy transfer to the peripheral region, then increases the gas temperature at the periphery along with friction due to the presence of the confined wall. Static temperature is related to static pressure in such a way that low pressure leads to the low static temperature at the same region inside the vortex tube. On the other hand, the high total temperature is found in the region with the low dynamic velocity. For both vortex tubes, the flow fields are mainly governed by the tangential velocity at the periphery and by the axial velocity at the core region. The maximum Mach number values based on the maximum tangential velocities in the inlet area for the counter and the parallel flow vortex tubes are 0.689 and 0.726, respectively, so both are compressible and subsonic flows. For the same size of geometry and boundary conditions, the parallel flow vortex tube has higher COP than the counter flow vortex tube i.e. 0.26 and 0.25, respectively.

In their policy brief on the impact of COVID-19 on children and youth, the United Nations identified the need for “a rapid accumulation of data on the scale and nature of impacts among children.”1(p14) Although an important goal, this call to action defies how research typically unfolds. Science is a slow, methodical process that requires careful consideration of prior evidence, ethics, measurement, sampling, analysis, and implications, to name a few. Still, we appreciate the call to shift priorities and allocate resources to conduct research about this global event. The stakes are high and information is needed to guide us on how children and youth are faring during this unprecedented time. One problem is that sub-standard studies, often released as non-peer reviewed preprints, are being promoted on social media and in news outlets, and this attention can influence the public’s perception of risk, the credibility of scientists, and policy makers’ decisions related to funding and programming. Some scholars and medical professionals see preprints as a necessity during the pandemic to circumvent the lengthy review process and to arm professionals with the most up-to-date data.2 Others see this growing trend as facilitating the spread of misinformation because, unlike scientists who approach non-peer reviewed research with caution, popular news outlets and the public may take preprints at face value.3,4 Our goal is thus to remind readers of what constitutes good science in the field of child and youth mental health.

Authors: Dubey Prachi , Varma Sanjay , Sharma Bhuwan
Published: July 2021

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease have impaired immunity due to disease per se and because of immunosuppressant treatment used for their disease. Catheters used for hemodialysis acts as conduit for microorganisms to cause infections. This leads to increase in morbidity and mortality.Methods: 100 patients of renal failure requiring hemodialysis were selected. Relevant pathological and radiological investigation done to rule out already existing infection, later on tests were repeated after catheter insertion and hemodialysis to check for infection and sepsis. Using appropriate statistical analysis was done and p value <0.05 was taken as significant.Results: Out of 100 patients underwent study, 15 developed catheter related blood stream infection. Older age, history of diabetes, male sex, diabetes, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperphosphatemia, prolonged duration of hemodialysis and site of hemodialysis catheter were found to be risk factor for infection.Conclusions: Patients requiring hemodialysis, who are having non modifiable risk factors like age, sex other risk factors for infection should be controlled to reduce incidence of infection.

AMAÇ: Biz bu çalışmamızda Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk-Ergen Ruh Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları polikliniğine başvuran, Dikkat Eksikliği ve Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu (DEHB) tanısı konulan çocuk ve ergenlerin sosyodemografik özelliklerini, komorbid psikiyatrik tanılarını ve bunların DEHB alt tipleri ile olan ilişkilerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmamıza DEHB tanısı konulan 164 çocuk ve ergen dahil edildi ve katılımcılar DEHB-Bileşik görünüm (DEHB-B), DEHB-Dikkatsizliği önde geldiği görünüm (DEHB-D) ve DEHB-aşırı hareketlilik ve dürtüselliğin önce geldiği görünüm (DEHB-H) olmak üzere üç gruba ayrıldılar. Gruplar sosyodemografik özellikleri ve komorbid psikiyatrik tanıları açısından karşılaştırıldı.BULGULAR: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 164 DEHB tanılı çocuğun 120'si (%73,2) erkek, 44'ü (%26,8) kız olarak saptandı. Bu çocukların 81'i (%49,4) DEHB-B grubu, 69'u (%42,1) DEHB-D grubu ve 14'ü (%8,5) ise DEHB-H grubu tanı kriterlerini karşılamaktaydı. Örneklemimizin genelinde en sık gördüğümüz ek psikiyatrik tanı Karşıt Olma Karşıt Gelme Bozukluğu olup tüm örneklemde 43 (%26,2) çocukta ek tanı olarak karşımıza çıktı. Diğer ek tanılardan Davranım Bozukluğu 41 (%25), Anksiyete Bozuklukları 36 (%22), Enürezis 22 (%13,4), Tik Bozuklukları 17 (%10,4), Özgül Öğrenme Bozukluğu 12 (%7,3) ve Depresif Bozukluk 10 (%6,1) çocukta saptandı.SONUÇ: DEHB ile birlikte eş tanıya sahip çocukların tedaviye direnç göstermeleri daha muhtemeldir ve bu çocuklarda DEHB ve eş tanıların başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bizim çalışmamızda çıkan yüksek komorbidite oranları DEHB'yi tedavi ederken bu tanılarında etkin bir şekilde tedavi edilmesi gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.
