Authors: Rathish Balram , Wilson Arun , Warrier Anup , Prakash Shilpa , Babu Rachana , Joy Sonya , Bhattacharjee Siddharth
Published: December 2021

Background Nosocomial outbreaks of COVID-19 have been reported sporadically since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to study the transmission dynamics in a nosocomial COVID-19 outbreak in our centre.

Methods This was a retrospective cohort study in a 500 bedded tertiary care hospital in South India. Inpatients who were suspected to have likely or definite hospital-acquired COVID-19 and hospital staff members who were found to be COVID-19 positive during the same time frame were studied and the likely transmission dynamics described.

Results During the study period, 173 patients were diagnosed to have COVID-19, out of which, 15 (8.6%) patients who fulfilled the criteria for likely or definitely hospital-acquired COVID-19 infection were identified from six different wards. During the same period, 121 hospital staff members were diagnosed with COVID-19. Out of these, 18 (14.9%) hospital staff members were identified who could have been the potential source of infection for these 15 patients based on the overlap of location of the staff and the patients, and their infectivity windows. Direct contact and fomite transmission were likely the predominant driver of transmission in our study as there was use of universal face masks and face shields.

Conclusion Despite the admission of a large number of COVID-19 patients and a relatively large proportion of hospital staff members who tested positive for the disease, the proportion of nosocomial COVID-19 in our centre remained low. A policy of universal gloving, coupled with the already existing practice of universal N95 masking and face shield use, could potentially bring down the rate of nosocomial COVID-19 even further.

Published: December 2021

Background Studies to evaluate long COVID symptoms and their risk factors are limited. We evaluated the presence of long COVID and its risk factors in patients discharged from a hospital with COVID-19 illness.

Methods This observational study included 271 COVID-19 patients admitted between February and July 2020 in a hospital in the UK. The primary outcome measure was to assess the duration and severity of long COVID and its predictors at 3, 6 and 9 months. Logistic regression was performed to assess the potential risk factors for long COVID.

Results Out of 89 patients interviewed, 55 (62%) had long COVID for 3 months, 46 (52%) for 6 months and 37 of the 75 patients admitted to the hospital with acute COVID-19 had long COVID for 9 months (49%). The most common long COVID symptoms were fatigue and breathlessness.

Conclusion Nearly two-thirds of patients at 3 months and a half at 9 months had long COVID. COVID-19 pneumonia was the strongest predictor of long COVID in Caucasians at 3 months.

Authors: Paulose Roopa Rachel , Kumar V Anil , Sharma Aparna , Damle Aditi , Saikumar Divya , Sudhakar Abish , Koshy Anoop K , Venu Rama P
Published: December 2021

Background The diagnosis of intestinal TB (ITB) is challenging because of its overlapping features with Crohn's disease. This outcome-based study evaluated the combination of colonoscopy, histopathology, Xpert MTB/RIF and TB culture for best sensitivity and specificity.

Method This was a four-year retrospective, observational study of 426 clinically suspected patients who underwent colonoscopy with biopsies for histopathology, Xpert MTB/RIF and TB culture. ITB was diagnosed using the composite reference standard (CRS), which comprised either histological features or culture or Xpert MTB/RIF positivity, and positive response to anti-tuberculous treatment on follow up.

Results 35 (8.2%) patients were diagnosed with ITB. Histopathology had the highest sensitivity (91.4%) and negative predictive value (99.2%), MTB/RIF had the highest specificity (100%) and positive predictive value (100%). A combinatorial approach with Xpert MTB/RIF and histopathology had optimal diagnostic value (97%), approaching 100% sensitivity with culture. 40% of cases were diagnosed within 12 hours with Xpert MTB/RIF and 97% cases within three days.

Conclusion This combinatorial diagnostic model provides rapid and reliable diagnosis of ITB which may be useful in endemic areas.

Authors: Kumar Sumeet , Choudhary Rupal , Pandey Ved Prakash
Published: December 2021

Background Mucormycosis has been reported in several Indian states with the second wave of COVID-19 from January 2021 onwards. This prospective study was conducted with the objective of defining the contribution or association of various known and many suspected factors in the incidence of this disease during the ongoing pandemic.

Method The study included 464 adults with mucormycosis. Basic demographic data were collected. Patient history of COVID infection, its severity, duration of treatment, and oxygen use was taken to assess the association. History of use of antibiotics, steroids, antivirals, biologicals, and other complementary treatments was sought. History of diabetes and other comorbidities was noted. Patients were investigated for mucor confirmation using a nasal swab KOH mount, nasal endoscopy with biopsy, and radiological investigations were done to assess the extent.

Results Out of 464 patients, 175 were known diabetics, and 157 were treated with steroids during COVID infection. Out of 287 post-COVID patients, 125 (44%) had rhino-mucormycosis (RM), 102 (35%) had rhino-oculo-mucormycosis (ROM) and 60 (21%) had rhino-oculo-cerebral-mucormycosis (ROCM). 162 did not have a history of COVID, of which 93 (57%) had RM, 48 (30%) had ROM and 21 (13%) had ROCM.

Conclusion This study has showed that COVID was not the only factor contributing to mucor, rather other factors such as diabetes, steroid use etc. were also contributory. Many patients who were suffering from mucormycosis did not have a history of COVID. Advanced age, ROCM, and ICU admission were associated with increased mortality.

Authors: Dwivedi Rajesh , Pasku Dritan , Tsegaye Magnum
Published: December 2021

We report a case of a 72-year-old woman who underwent transthoracic discectomy for a giant disc herniation at T9-T10 level causing significant cord compromise. Following removal of her non-suction chest drain, she was transferred to the acute spinal-orthogeriatric unit where she was under regular review by elderly care physicians as part of their spinal liaison role. Approximately four weeks after the operation, she started becoming dyspnoeic and her chest X-ray showed moderate left-sided pleural effusion which tested positive for (32-transferrin, a sensitive marker of cerebrospinal fluid, supporting a diagnosis of subarachnoid-pleural fistula. This is a very unusual cause of breathlessness in a postoperative patient.

Authors: Ireland Peter J , Hardy Timothy , Burt Alastair D , Donnelly Mhairi C
Published: December 2021

A 39-year-old female presented with a one-week history of jaundice and nausea after taking an over-the-counter herbal supplement containing ashwagandha root extract. Initial investigations revealed a hepatocellular pattern of liver enzyme abnormality with jaundice. Investigations, including viral serology, liver specific autoantibodies and an ultrasound scan of the abdomen, were unremarkable. Liver biopsy showed an acute cholestatic hepatitis with confluent necrosis but no features of chronicity. These histopathological findings differ to that of a previously reported case. Review of recent literature revealed that some clinical features and the time course of liver injury were similar to previous reports of ashwagandha drug-induced liver injury (DILI). The patient received treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid. We compare this case to previous reported cases of ashwagandha DILI and discuss the biochemical and histopathological features of ashwagandha DILI, therapeutic strategies and the importance of recognising herbal supplements as a possible cause of DILI.
Maxillary Artery Involvement in Giant Cell Arteritis Demonstrated by Ultrasonography
Authors: Chen-Xu Michael , Coath Fiona L , Ducker Georgina , Fordham Sarah , Mukhtyar Chetan B
Published: December 2021

We describe two cases of giant cell arteritis where involvement of the superficial temporal artery and maxillary artery were demonstrated using colour doppler ultrasonography. Maxillary artery involvement is responsible for the symptoms of jaw claudication and toothache, and even headaches might be due to the involvement of the middle meningeal artery which is a branch of the maxillary artery. The maxillary artery has been difficult to visualise until now. There are international consensus definitions of ultrasonographic abnormalities seen in the superficial temporal artery affected by giant cell arteritis. We have used those definitions to demonstrate hypoechoic changes in the maxillary artery affected by giant cell arteritis. The maxillary artery can be visualised in the infratemporal fossa from an echo window between the condylar and coronoid processes of the mandible. This is the first proof of concept evidence that maxillary arteries can be visualised using bedside ultrasonography in giant cell arteritis.
Pauci-Immune Crescentic Glomerulonephritis Associated with Metastatic Rectal Carcinoma
Authors: Swift Oscar , Ramanarayanan Sivaramakrishnan , Paterson Anna , Mathavakkannan Suresh
Published: December 2021

Paraneoplastic glomerular disease is well recognised, although it most frequently presents with clinical features of the nephrotic syndrome. This case describes a 74-year-old male with metastatic rectal adenocarcinoma treated surgically with anterior resection followed by adjuvant capecitabine chemotherapy. Having previously had normal renal function, he developed an acute kidney injury with active urinary sediment following the discovery of liver metastases. A renal biopsy was performed, which revealed an active crescentic pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. The patient was treated with high dose oral corticosteroids which led to some improvement in renal function, although he was still left with significant kidney impairment, which limited further safe oncological treatment. This case highlights a rare presentation of glomerular disease in the setting of malignancy and also demonstrates the adverse impact that kidney impairment can have on outcomes in patients with cancer.
Cerebral Salt Wasting Induced Hyponatraemia Presenting as Catatonia
Authors: Mehta Vishal , Sharma Akhya , Sharma Chandra Bhushan , Guria Rishi Tuhin
Published: December 2021

Cerebral salt wasting (CSW) is an important cause of hyponatraemia in the background of a central nervous system disease. It causes hypovolaemic hyponatraemia and is associated with polyuria and high urine sodium levels. It is important to distinguish it from the more common syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone and this is primarily based on the volume status. Although CSW has been known to present with confusion, stupor, abnormal behaviour and seizures, its association with catatonia is yet to be reported. We report a case in which the patient developed CSW and hyponatraemia as a sequela of tuberculous meningitis and presented with catatonia. Prompt correction of hyponatraemia resulted in complete reversal of catatonia. This highlights the importance of evaluating all patients with catatonia for electrolyte abnormalities, especially hyponatraemia as its correction leads to excellent outcomes.
Pulmonary Hypertension for the Non-Specialist
Authors: Stubbs Harrison , Johnson Martin
Published: December 2021

Pulmonary hypertension is a rare and complex disease that arises from a wide range of underlying conditions. Therapeutic options have expanded enormously over the last two decades resulting in major improvements in prognosis for some patients. As a consequence, it is vital that the disease is recognised early and referred on to specialist centres for further investigation and definitive diagnosis to improve prognosis in this life-altering condition. Unfortunately, it remains the case in the UK that there is a delay in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, often months or years after the onset of symptoms. This review aims to highlight key points in initial management and referral of patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension and presents three cases to underline these areas..
Clinical Inertia in Rheumatology Practice
Authors: Raveendran Arkiath Veettil , Ravindran Vinod
Published: December 2021

Several professional medical learned societies and organisations have recommended guidelines for management of various chronic diseases geared to achieve optimal control over the diseases and improve the quality of care. However, the data from around the world suggest that a majority of patients are not achieving those treatment targets. This has been well documented in diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and rheumatoid arthritis, and clinical inertia is thought to be a major factor responsible. In this article, we have discussed clinical inertia in rheumatology practice, which has relevance to several other chronic non-communicable diseases as well.
Equality and Diversity in Health Governance Systems: Are We Getting it Right and are There Lessons from Covid-19?
Authors: Marinova Milka , Sathyamoorthyr Ganesh , Singhal Parag , Bullivant John , Bell Derek
Published: December 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted major challenges in governance and inequalities particularly among those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) groups. This paper focuses on the BAME community and explores this through a governance lens, with particular reference to the representation and functioning of boards involved in healthcare and building a transparent culture. To illustrate this, the paper utilises a series of structured reflective questions with model answers termed Right Question, Right Answer and links to the Centre for Quality in Governance (CQG) Maturity Matrix. This article highlights the need to improve diversity and accountability of health and care organisations to their staff and local population. For governance to be effective, it must be aligned and comply with healthcare system regulations to ensure improvement of legislative acts and standards. The paper aims to inform government policy by moving from rhetoric, or merely describing challenges, to action and change by increasing accountability.
“A Bruised Reed Shall He Not Break”: John Miles'S Portraits of Patients at the Royal Edinburgh Asylum. Part 2
Authors: Beveridge Allan , Cunynghame Daisy
Published: December 2021

This is the second of two papers which examine a series of portraits of patients at the Royal Edinburgh Asylum (REA) which were undertaken in the 1880s by John Miles, who, as well as being a professional painter, was also an inmate of the Morningside institution. Alongside the portraits by Miles, we began, in Paper 1, to discuss a second series of portraits of the same patients, contained in a collection, entitled Bruised Reeds. In this paper we focus on the remaining portraits in this collection, before discussing the wider implications of the two series of portraits. These two series are of interest for several reasons. They are an example of patient art, only a small portion of which has survived from nineteenth century asylums. They are also in the tradition of patient portraiture. The patients in the portraits have been identified and their case notes examined. This information complements the portraits and helps to build a fuller picture of individual patients and their life in the Morningside Asylum. The case notes also reveal the symptomatology and behaviour of the patients. We discuss if the Bruised Reeds portraits were also by Miles, and suggest they were not.
Corrosion in Tinplate Cans Used for Food Storage, Part 3: Effects of Cysteine, NaCl, and Tomatoes on Corrosion of Tin, Iron, and Tinplate
Authors: Chang Kuo-Hsiang , Hurley Belinda L. , Pascall Melvin A. , Frankel Gerald S.
Published: December 2021

Tinplate cans used to contain foodstuff are fabricated from steel coated with a thin layer of tin and then overcoated with a thin polymeric layer. Previous papers in this series investigated the corrosion behavior of tinplate cans containing chopped tomatoes or one of the chemical components found in cans of chopped tomatoes. The amino acid cysteine was found to be an aggressive agent that can cause corrosion and blackening of the can headspace region. In this study, the corrosion phenomena associated with tinplate cans were investigated by studying the behavior, individually, of uncoated pure tin, iron, and tinplate in chopped tomato, NaCl, and cysteine solutions using electrochemistry, optical microscopy, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Black corrosion products, identified as sulfides, formed when the tin, iron, and tinplate specimens were exposed to cysteine solution at three different pH values. The black corrosion products were also found on both iron and tinplate when the samples were immersed in tomato solution. These results indicate that blackening on bare iron and tinplate could form easily from the decomposition of chemical compounds in heated tomatoes.

Authors:   , Elemu Anthony
Published: December 2021

Background: The study examined the relationship between credit management practices, loan repayment management and profitability of commercial banks branches in Uganda. The objectives included; to establish the relationship between credit management practices and profitability; relationship between loan repayment management and profitability; mediating effect of loan repayment management on credit management practices and profitability; and examine the impact of credit management practices and loan repayment management on profitability. Methodology: The study was a cross- sectional research and applied a quantitative approach. A sample of 234 commercial bank branches was used from a total of 573. The study obtained responses from 166 branches. Primary data was obtained from a branch manager and credit supervisor using a structured questionnaire. Validity of the questionnaire was obtained using CVI and reliability using Cronbach Alpha Coefficient. Data was analyzed using SPSS v.20 to obtain descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyzes to present results. A Med-graph was used to test the mediation of loan repayment management. Results: This study ascertained a positive relationship between credit management practices and profitability; and positive relationship between loan repayment management and profitability. The study further ascertained a partial mediation of loan repayment management in the relationship between credit management practices and profitability. Furthermore, the study revealed that jointly credit management practices and loan repayment management predict profitability of commercial bank branches. More so, the study established that the best predictor of profitability is loan repayment management. This study ascertained a positive relationship between credit management practices and profitability; and positive relationship between loan repayment management and profitability. Conclusion: The study concludes that credit management practices and loan repayment management are among the critical factors influencing profitability at the commercial bank branch level.

II. Meşrutiyet Dönemi İlmiye Sınıfının Siyasi Mücadelesi
Authors: KILINÇ Kadir , PAY Salih
Published: December 2021

Bu araştırmada II. Meşrutiyet döneminde (1908-1918) ilmiye sınıfının siyasi konumu, düşüncesi ve faaliyetleri ele alınıp incelenmiştir. Söz konusu dönemle birlikte ilmiye sınıfı ve onun başı olan meşihat makamı siyasi sahada etkin bir rol oynamıştır. İlmiye mensupları meşrutiyetin ilan edilmesine yönelik hutbe ve vaazlar vererek çeşitli yayın organlarında yazılar kaleme almışlardır. Bu yeni rejimin İslam’da “meşveret, şura, istişare” gibi kavramlara karşılık geldiğini söyleyerek meşrutiyete şer’i bir anlam yüklemişler ve bu sistemi “meşrûtiyet-i meşrû‘a” olarak adlandırmışlardır. Ayrıca 31 Mart Vakası ve sonrasında Sultan II. Abdülhamid’in (1876-1909) tahttan indirilmesi gibi olaylarda da önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Bu yeni yönetim sistemiyle birlikte kurulan partilere başta şeyhülislâm olmak üzere birçok ilmiye mensubu katılmış veya destek vermiştir. Böylece din adamları aktif bir şekilde siyasi hayatın içinde yer almıştır. Bundan sonraki süreçte doğrudan padişah tarafından atanan şeyhülislâmın, meclis üstünde bir konumda görülmesi üzerine şeyhülislâmın siyasi etkinliği meclis ve hükümet tarafından azaltılmak istenmiş ve hazineden ilmiyeye ayrılan bütçe düşürülmüştür. Bu durum ilmiye ricalinin hükümete karşı bir siyasi mücadeleye girişmesine neden olmuştur. Nihayetinde meşrutiyetin ilan edilmesi için yoğun mesai harcayan ilmiye mensupları bu yeni sistemde umduklarını bulamamıştır.

анализируется изменение понимания предмета эпидемиологии в медицинской науке, а также способы его изменения, прежде всего путем расширения фактического содержания; показывается, что расширительная трактовка предметной области эпидемиологической науки как форма развития понятия ее предмета не дает углубление сущности понимания эпидемического процесса и, более того, вызывает затруднения при анализе содержания названной трактовки предмета, и в целом нуждается в дальнейшем уточнении.
FROM ELECTRONIC PROCESSES IN LIVING AND INANIMATE NATURE TO SOCIALLY SIGNIFICANT

Modern information and communication tools significantly expand a person's capabilities for personal and group participation in the economic, political and social life of society, allow him to interfere in the activities of state authorities. In an attempt to curb these spontaneous dynamics as threatening the stability of the existing order, the state and power elites use classical technologies dating back to the days of Machiavelli, which provokes an increase in turbulence in society. In the theory of cybernetics, the idea has developed that overcoming technologies such as "controlled chaos" will be associated with the paradigm of transition from observing systems to self-developing systems. In theoretical terms, the implementation of this concept rests against the lack of clarity about the unity of controlled environments - natural and social. which indicates a lack of depth of the transdisciplinary approach. In the theory of international relations, A. Wendt proposed a common ontological foundation of social and natural sciences in the quantum picture of the universe. In the history of science, A.L. Chizhevsky demonstrated the possibility of such a synthesis based on the unity of electronic phenomena from animate and inanimate nature to social technologies. The future of a person largely depends on the type of that socio-electronic turbulence initiated by the authorities: in a totalitarian society, a person will be placed under total electronic control, in a democratic society, his own electronic system (types of transitions from baked external energy into activities) will be tuned to creative process.

COMBATEREA VIOLENȚEI ÎMPOTRIVA FEMEILOR
Authors: Pavlencu Mariana , Costișanu Vitalie
Published: December 2021

Violența împotriva femeilor şi a fetelor sau violența bazată pe gen este o pandemie globală care afectează nu numai victimele acesteia, dar și dezvoltarea societăților și țărilor întregi. Violența afectează un număr mare de femei și fete, manifestându-se sub mai multe forme - inclusiv violența fizică, sexuală, psihologică și economică - și apărând în diferite contexte din sfera publică și privată. Violența într-o relație sau violența în cupluri este cea mai frecventă formă de violență cu care se confruntă femeile. Cele mai multe victime și supraviețuitoare se confruntă cu mai mult de o formă de violență. Femeile și fetele sunt expuse cel mai mult riscului de violență sexuală în fazele incipiente ale unui conflict, atunci când comunitățile sunt perturbate, când populațiile sunt mobile, iar sistemele de protecție nu sunt pe deplin funcționale. În fazele ulterioare ale unui conflict și în timpul reabilitării și recuperării, femeile devin adesea victime ale altor forme de violență, cum ar fi traficul de ființe umane, crimele de onoare sau diferite forme de violența conjugală.

СПОСІБ ПРОГНОЗУВАННЯ НЕСПРОМОЖНОСТІ ШВІВ ПОРОЖНИСТИХ ОРГАНІВ ТРАВЛЕННЯ НА ОСНОВІ ГЕНЕТИЧНИХ ДОСЛІДЖЕНЬ
Authors: Войтів Ярослав
Published: December 2021

У роботі виявлена залежність між розвитком неспроможності швів анастомозів порожнистих органів травлення та варіантами розподілу генотипу генів MMP-2 (C-1306→T), та TIMP-2 (G303→A). На основі отриманих даних напрацьовано спосіб прогнозування неспроможності швів анастомозів. Об’єктом дослідження були 17 пацієнтів з неспроможністю швів анастомозів, що лікувався у ДУ «НІХТ імені О.О. Шалімова». Проведені лабораторні, генетичні та статистичні дослідження. Неспроможність швів анастомозів порожнистих органів травлення в 1,36 рази частіше зустрічається у носіїв гомозиготного СС генотипу гену MMP-2, та вдвічі рідше у мінорних гомозигот ТТ (5,9% проти 10% (p>0,05)). У групі пацієнтів з неспроможністю швів анастомозів порожнистих органів травлення, статистично достовірно, у 1,6 рази частіше виявлено у носіїв гомозиготного GG варіанту гену TIMP-2. Носіїв мінорних гомозигот АА генотипу у групі з неспроможністю швів виявлено не було, тоді як аналогічний генотип у контрольній групі зустрічався у 10% (p<0,05).

Authors: Huynh Nguyen Dinh Quoc  , Dang Xuan Truong  , Tran Thi Bao Tram
Published: December 2021

The EIO (Errors In Observations) model is used in the total least squares method to calculate, process geodetic data. Next to the classical least squares method, it is applied to solve more solutions. When we use the EIO model in calculus and process, performing a matrix inverse has a large dimension will be avoided. Moreover, the calculation and accuracy evaluation steps are based on the iterative algorithm to get the results. In this paper, the authors use the procedure of calculating and evaluating the accuracy of the EIO model in the experimental calculation of the coordinate transformation according to the Helmert formula

АКТУАЛЬНІ ПИТАННЯ ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ У СФЕРІ ЗМІНИ КЛІМАТУ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Копиця Євгенія , Огієнко Марія
Published: December 2021

Зміна клімату є однією з найбільших глобальних проблем сучасності, а її правова охорона клімату є загальновизнаною об’єктивною реальністю права. В свою чергу, національне законодавство України у сфері боротьби з негативними змінами навколишнього середовища, викликаними зміною клімату, не є сформованим, а в екологічній правовій доктрині відсутній єдиний підхід до розуміння сутності, визначення та вирішення проблеми зміни клімату. Стаття має на меті дослідити сучасний стан правового регулювання у сфері зміни клімату в Україні. Відповідно, проводиться критичний аналіз актів міжнародного та національного законодавства у сфері зміни клімату; досліджуються положення стратегічних документів щодо адаптації та пом'якшення наслідків зміни клімату в Україні та проводиться оцінка ефективності такого регуляторного механізму. Вказується на недоліки національної політики та законодавства у сфері зміну клімату, та сформовано ряд пропозицій щодо їх вдосконалення.
