Awareness about Clinical Establishment Act among Dentists – A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Philip Sharon , Thomas Susan , Narayan Vivek
Published: December 2023

Background:

The Kerala Clinical Establishment Act (CEA) provides for registration and regulation of clinical establishments from all recognized systems of medicine in the public and private sectors. The dental profession, where most services are rendered by private practitioners is also included in this Act. It follows that dentists must stay abreast of the laws that govern the profession of dentistry.

Objectives:

This study aimed to assess the awareness and apprehensions about the Act among dentists in Kerala.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional online survey was conducted using a questionnaire among 400 dentists from June 2020 to August 2020. The participants comprised dental practitioners with undergraduate/postgraduate degrees, faculties in dental colleges, and postgraduate dental students. Statistical analysis was done using Chi-square and logistic regression method.

Results:

A total of 78% of respondents were aware about the Act. More than half of the participants (58%) had a high awareness score regarding the Act. Low levels of apprehension were exhibited by 65% of the study participants. The determinants for awareness were significant in relation to age, gender, education level, type of practice, duration of practice, and location of practice (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

The results of this study indicate the need for improved clarity of clauses in the Act associated with transparency and public access to information at Clinical Establishments. The implementation of the Act would contribute greatly to shaping a reliable health-care service for the public as the findings of this research suggest that dentists in Kerala think that mandatory registration and regular inspections as envisioned in the Act would identify and isolate the quacks in the profession.

Published: December 2023

Introduction:

Traditional classroom teaching is being replaced by newer modalities where multimedia technologies are involved in the teaching process. The advantages of online learning were proven in the literature. However, the limitations in carrying out online classes for undergraduate dental education need to be sought.

Objective:

The objective is to conduct a strength, weakness, opportunity, threat (SWOT) analysis on online teaching and learning as perceived by teachers and students.

Materials and Methods:

Two different pro formas on online teaching and learning were given to all teaching faculty and students in Government Dental College, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Data were collected using online Google Forms. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the perspective of teaching faculty and students in online classes. A semi-quantitative content analysis was done for open-ended items.

Results:

SWOT of Online teaching and learning were identified based on the quantitative and qualitative findings. A total of 164 students and 44 teaching faculty responded to our pro forma. More interactive online sessions and procuring technical support from institutions were perceived as opportunities for online teaching and learning. Accessibility issues and health issues were perceived as threats in online classes as a teaching–learning method by students.

Conclusion:

Well-outlined course content with proper scheduling, free Wi-Fi access, well-prepared and committed teaching faculty, creating a sense of responsible online learning, and supplying devices to access online classes to all students in the state are the few areas of implementation for better learning outcomes in online learning.

Cross-sectional study on utilisation of social media by regional anaesthesia and acute pain medicine fellowship programs in the United States
Authors: Hong Janet , Siddique Usama , Echevarria Ghislaine , Patel Alopi , Lai Yan H. , Pai B.H Poonam
Published: December 2023

Background and Aims:

Social media provides a platform for physicians helping them change the practice in anaesthesiology as it promotes both personal and professional growth. In this cross-sectional study, we identify social media presence and engagement of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine (RAAPM) fellowship programs, specifically on Twitter (Twitter Inc., San Francisco, CA) and Instagram (Meta Platforms Inc., Menlo Park, CA). This article presents current evidence about social media presence and engagement of ACGME-accredited RAAPM fellowship programs on Twitter and Instagram. These findings could potentially help cultivate greater social media engagement in the RAAPM community and improve recruitment of prospective applicants.

Material and Methods:

The list of ACGME-accredited RAAPM fellowship programs for the academic year 2020–2021 was obtained from the ACGME website. Accounts were searched by reviewing each program’s website for profile links and by querying for the name of the program directly on Twitter and Instagram. Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine accounts were analysed for posts pertaining to RAAPM elements, and RAAPM fellowship-specific accounts were investigated. Accounts that were solely focused on an anaesthesiology residency were excluded. All posts over the academic year period of 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 were analyzed.

Results:

While many programs had active departmental social media accounts during our study, there was a dearth of RAAPM-related output (3.4% of tweets and 2.7% Instagram posts). Furthermore, only 10% of programs had RAAPM fellowship-specific Twitter accounts, of which only 5% of programs were active. Finally, there were no RAAPM fellowship-specific Instagram accounts.

Conclusions:

While there is robust use of social media by departmental accounts, there is a paucity of RAAPM-related content and RAAPM fellowship-specific social media accounts. The current gap provides valuable opportunities for future investigations into the cyber footprint and innovative engagement strategies for the RAAPM community.

Authors: Yadav Anuradha , Dixit Chitrang , Malhotra Kajal , Smriti C.A
Published: December 2023

Bone disorders having different causes, such as metabolic, genetic, and environmental, are well known and each of them has a characteristic clinical and radiographic appearance. Pycnodysostosis is one such rare bone disease that manifests as generalized osteosclerosis of the skeleton because of decreased bone turnover. Some of the unique radiographic and clinical features distinguish it from other bone disorders, such as osteogenesis imperfect, osteopetrosis, and cleidocranial dysplasia. Recognition of these signs is important to make a diagnosis and prevent further complications. We report a case of a 24-year-old male, who presented with a chief complaint of dirty and malaligned teeth and was unhappy with his facial appearance. General examination features which drew attention were short stature, beaking of the nose, and frontal and parietal bossing. Radiographically, open fontanelles, wormian bones, and dental abnormalities were evident.

Authors: Xess Sukriti , Singh Vinita , Singh Prem Raj , Kaushal Dinesh , Digraskar Vinod
Published: December 2023

Objective:

In this study, we compared the efficacy of dexmedetomidine, clonidine, and placebo in the prevention of emergence delirium (ED) in children undergoing lower abdominal surgeries under sevoflurane anesthesia.

Materials and Methods:

We conducted a prospective randomized double-blinded study on 75 patients aged 4–10 years belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiologists I or II, undergoing lower abdominal surgeries of 1–2 h duration under sevoflurane anesthesia. The children were randomly distributed into three groups: dexmedetomidine (Group D), clonidine (Group C), and saline group (Group S). The study drug was administered 10 min after induction of anesthesia. Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters were recorded. The Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) score was used to assess the incidence and severity of ED at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, and 60 min of arrival to the postanesthesia care unit. A score of ≥10 was considered to have ED. The Ramsay Sedation Score and the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score were used to assess the degree of sedation and the severity of pain, respectively.

Results:

Dexmedetomidine showed the lowest incidence of ED while the highest incidence was seen in the saline group. The PAED score was lowest in the dexmedetomidine group, followed by clonidine, and highest in the control group at all time intervals. The Ramsay Sedation Score and FLACC score were also lower in the dexmedetomidine group as compared to the clonidine and saline groups.

Conclusion:

Dexmedetomidine was found to be more efficacious in preventing ED as compared to clonidine in children.

Authors: Chhanwal Heena Sunil , Kheskani Divya N. , Shah Amit , Patel Ankita , Parita Gandhi , Solanki Rekha Nilesh , Singh Aayushi
Published: December 2023

Background and Aims:

Supraglottic airway devices used in laparoscopic surgeries must be efficient to counter the increased peak airway pressure (PAWP) and airway leakage that can occur in laparoscopic surgeries. Hence, the implication of AutoFlow in ventilator strategy is propounded nowadays that facilitates low PAWP and high dynamic compliance to achieve targeted tidal volume and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2). BlockBuster™ Laryngeal mask furnishing minimum airway leak. The primary objective was to compare PAWP using the two modes of ventilation through the BlockBuster LMA after intubation, pneumoperitoneum, and Trendelenburg position. The secondary objective was to observe hemodynamic vitals.

Methodology:

In this single-center randomized controlled trial, we recruited 80 American Society of Anesthesiologists grade I and II adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgeries. They were randomized by computer-generated method into two groups: volume-controlled AutoFlow® (VCAF) and volume-controlled (VC) group. Ventilation settings for both groups set to tidal volume 5–6 ml/kg of predicted body weight, positive end-expiratory pressure 5 cm H2O, I: E ratio 1:2, and respiratory rate 12–16/min to maintain targeted ETCO2 of 30–35 cm H2O. Intraabdominal pressure was set to 14 mmHg during pneumoperitoneum and 15° Trendelenburg position.

Results:

Mann–Whitney U-test for continuous variables and t-test for categorical variables. Data were presented as median (interquartile range). P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. During laparoscopic surgeries with BlockBuster™ PAWP at pneumoperitoneum was (20 cm H2O vs. 27 cm H2O) and Trendelenburg position (19 cm H2O vs. 27 cm H2O) was significant lower with VCAF (AutoFlow® ventilation) than with VC (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

PAWP is significantly low in AutoFlow mode as compared to volume control mode with BlockBuster LMA. In addition, LMA BlockBuster provides good sealing pressure.

Logarithmic nature of the long-time asymptotics of solutions of a Sobolev-type nonlinear equations with cubic nonlinearities
Authors: Naumkin Pavel Ivanovich
Published: December 2023

The Cauchy problem of the form
$$
\begin{cases}
i \partial_{t}(u-\partial_{x}^{2}u)+\partial_{x}^{2}u -a \partial_{x}^{4}u=u^{3}, & t>0,
x\in\mathbb{R},
u(0,x) =u_{0}(x),& x\in\mathbb{R},
\end{cases}
$$
is considered for a Sobolev-type nonlinear equation with cubic nonlinearity, where $a>1/5$, $a\neq1$. It is shown that the asymptotic behaviour of the solution is characterized by an additional logarithmic decay in comparison with the corresponding linear case. To find the asymptotics of solutions of the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear Sobolev-type equation, factorization technique is developed. To obtain estimates for derivatives of the defect operators, $\mathbf{L}^{2}$-estimates of pseudodifferential operators are used.

Прямой алгоритм построения операторов рекурсии и пар Лакса для интегрируемых моделей
Authors: Habibullin Ismagil Talgatovich , Khakimova Aigul Rinatovna
Published: December 2023

Предложен алгоритм поиска операторов рекурсии для нелинейных интегрируемых уравнений. Обнаружено, что оператор рекурсии $R$ можно выразить как отношение вида $R=L_1^{-1}L_2$, где линейные дифференциальные операторы $L_1$ и $L_2$ выбраны таким образом, что обыкновенное дифференциальное уравнение $(L_2-\lambda L_1)U=0$ совместно с линеаризацией заданного нелинейного интегрируемого уравнения при любом значении параметра $\lambda\in \mathbb{C}$. Для построения оператора $L_1$ используются инвариантные многообразия, являющиеся обобщением симметрии. Для поиска $L_2$ берется вспомогательное линейное уравнение, связанное с линеаризованным уравнением при помощи преобразования Дарбу. Отметим, что уравнение $L_1\widetilde{U}=L_2U$ задает преобразование Беклунда, переводящее решение $U$ линеаризованного уравнения в другое решение $\widetilde{U}$ этого же уравнения. Отмечена связь инвариантного многообразия с парами Лакса и уравнениями Дубровина.

Published: December 2023

В рамках теории Франка-Озеена проанализированы статические конфигурации хиральных жидких кристаллов. В частности, найдены численные решения для локализованных осесимметричных состояний в ограниченных хиральных жидких кристаллах со слабым гомеотропным закреплением на границах. Эти решения описывают дисторсии двумерных скирмионов, известных как сферулиты, или холестерические пузыри, которые наблюдались экспериментально в таких системах. В общих чертах отмечена связь с нелинейными интегрируемыми уравнениями, которая используется для изучения асимптотического поведения решений. С применением аналитических методов построены приближенные решения уравнений равновесия и исследована генерация и стабилизация этих состояний в зависимости от материальных параметров, внешних полям и граничным условиям привязки.

Condition
Authors: Li Fu-Xiang , Zhu Yuan
Published: December 2023

Automated driving system is a multi-source sensor data fusion system. However
different type sensor has different operating frequencies, different field of
view, different detection capabilities and different sensor data transition
delay. Aiming at these problems, this paper introduces the processing mechanism
of out of sequence measurement data into the multi-target detection and tracking
system based on millimeter wave radar and camera. After the comparison of
ablation experiments, the longitudinal and lateral tracking performance of the
fusion system is improved in different distance ranges.
A Rolling Prediction-Based Multi-Scale Fusion Velocity Prediction
Method Considering Road Slope Driving Characteristics
Authors: Zhang Man , He Siyuan , Pei Zhenlong , Lin Nan
Published: December 2023

Velocity prediction on hilly road can be applied to the energy-saving predictive
control of intelligent vehicles. However, the existing methods do not deeply
analyze the difference and diversity of road slope driving characteristics,
which affects prediction performance of some prediction method. To further
improve the prediction performance on road slope, and different road slope
driving features are fully exploited and integrated with the common prediction
method. A rolling prediction-based multi-scale fusion prediction considering
road slope transition driving characteristics is proposed in this study. Amounts
of driving data in hilly sections were collected by the advanced technology and
equipment. The Markov chain model was used to construct the velocity and
acceleration joint state transition characteristics under each road slope
transition pair, which expresses the obvious driving difference characteristics
when the road slope changes. An algorithm was designed to satisfy velocity
continuity and boundary constraints required by road slope. Then, based on the
relationship between prediction distance and weight value, using the prediction
information of actual historical data, a rolling prediction-based multi-scale
fusion prediction algorithm was designed to predict future velocity in the
prediction horizon. Compared with the rolling prediction-based multi-scale
fusion prediction without considering the road slope transition characteristics
and the nonlinear neural network prediction method, the proposed method shows
better prediction performance, which shows the necessity of considering
different characteristics with the road slope. The verification results show
that in a reasonable prediction horizon, the prediction deviation of the
proposed method can be within 1km/h, and the average calculation time can be
within 1s, and the prediction performance can meet the requirement of practical
application, which will be helpful for studying advanced energy-saving driving
assistance systems of commercial self-driving vehicles on mountainous
routes.
Prehrana dojenčkov v antičnem Rimu
Authors: Stemberger Flegar Kaja
Published: December 2023

Materino mleko je običajno prva otrokova hrana, vendar dojenje zaradi različnih razlogov ni vedno možno. Že iz prazgodovine so tako izpričane posode, ki so verjetno služile za hranjenje otrok kot nadomestek dojenja. Iz rimskodobne Slovenije poznamo nekaj takih najdb, a doslej niso bile prepoznane kot posodice za dojenje. Značilne so po tankih stenah in dodatnem dulcu poleg ustja. Nalogo dojenja je lahko opravljala tudi dojilja, s čimer je povezanih več antičnih mitov, pa tudi posvetilni napisi in upodobitve dojilj v Petovioni. Razprave o prehrani dojenčkov in otrok najdemo tudi v delih antičnih piscev in zdravilcev.
Feminism and comparative constitutional studies
Authors: Dixon Rosalind
Published: December 2023

Feminism and comparative constitutional studies (CCS) both permit multiple different methodological approaches. For that reason, there are also multiple ways of doing feminist constitutional comparison. But feminist commitments point to three broad methodological principles that can and should inform CCS: first, attention to issues of gender and gender justice; second, the use of small-n and large-n methods in the field; and third, the promotion of diverse female-identifying and non-binary scholarly voices. This comment attempts to encourage further scholarly debate about the scope and implications of these principles for the field as a whole.
Synchronizability of Communicating Finite State Machines is not Decidable
Authors: Finkel Alain , Lozes Etienne
Published: December 2023

A system of communicating finite state machines is synchronizable if its send
trace semantics, i.e.the set of sequences of sendings it can perform, is the
same when its communications are FIFO asynchronous and when they are just
rendez-vous synchronizations. This property was claimed to be decidable in
several conference and journal papers for either mailboxes or peer-to-peer
communications, thanks to a form of small model property. In this paper, we
show that this small model property does not hold neither for mailbox
communications, nor for peer-to-peer communications, therefore the decidability
of synchronizability becomes an open question. We close this question for
peer-to-peer communications, and we show that synchronizability is actually
undecidable. We show that synchronizability is decidable if the topology of
communications is an oriented ring. We also show that, in this case,
synchronizability implies the absence of unspecified receptions and orphan
messages, and the channel-recognizability of the reachability set.
Finitary Simulation of Infinitary $\beta$-Reduction via Taylor Expansion, and Applications
Authors: Cerda Rémy , Auclair Lionel Vaux
Published: December 2023

Originating in Girard's Linear logic, Ehrhard and Regnier's Taylor expansion
of $\lambda$-terms has been broadly used as a tool to approximate the terms of
several variants of the $\lambda$-calculus. Many results arise from a
Commutation theorem relating the normal form of the Taylor expansion of a term
to its B\"ohm tree. This led us to consider extending this formalism to the
infinitary $\lambda$-calculus, since the $\Lambda_{\infty}^{001}$ version of
this calculus has B\"ohm trees as normal forms and seems to be the ideal
framework to reformulate the Commutation theorem.
We give a (co-)inductive presentation of $\Lambda_{\infty}^{001}$. We define
a Taylor expansion on this calculus, and state that the infinitary
$\beta$-reduction can be simulated through this Taylor expansion. The target
language is the usual resource calculus, and in particular the resource
reduction remains finite, confluent and terminating. Finally, we state the
generalised Commutation theorem and use our results to provide simple proofs of
some normalisation and confluence properties in the infinitary
$\lambda$-calculus.

reconstrucción edilicia tras el terremoto de Lisboa. El caso de Nuestra Señora de la Granada de Moguer (1776-1783).
Authors: Macías Domínguez Alonso Manuel
Published: December 2023

La iglesia parroquial de Nuestra Señora de la Granada de Moguer (Huelva), es uno de los grandes edificios religiosos de la archidiócesis de Sevilla. Construido entre 1776 y 1783, se trata de un magnífico ejemplo de las transformaciones experimentadas en el paso del barroco al neoclásico, obra del arquitecto José Álvarez. Hasta fechas recientes, se desconocían prácticamente todos los detalles de su proceso de construcción, hasta que el descubrimiento del libro de cuentas original, en el Archivo General del Arzobispado de Sevilla, disipó gran parte de las dudas. Ofrecemos aquí datos novedosos al respecto, sobre los ritmos de construcción de las distintas partes del templo, así como una perspectiva general, en gran parte también inédita, de su evolución precedente, desde sus orígenes hasta el siglo XVIII.

Authors: Serrano Estrella Felipe , Prieto Jiménez Néstor
Published: December 2023

Con la culminación de las obras de la catedral de Jaén se emprendieron diversos proyectos de amueblamiento que atrajeron a un buen número de escultores y retablistas. Unos y otros convirtieron al templo en un importante taller de referencia en el contexto del Barroco andaluz. En Jaén se dieron cita, de manera más o menos permanente, maestros como José Gallego, Francisco Calvo, José de Medina o Blas Moreno. A estos se sumaron otros con intervenciones más puntuales como Miguel Arias, Antonio Primo o Diego Briones y aquellos que enviaron trazas para sus retablos, como fue el caso de Pedro Duque Cornejo. En el presente estudio profundizamos sobre su labor al servicio de la catedral de Jaén, actualizamos autorías y atribuciones, al tiempo que analizamos las relaciones que establecieron entre ellos.
¿Qué se Enseña sobre Temáticas LGBT+ en el Currículum de Psicología en Universidades Chilenas?
Authors: Concha Aqueveque Felipe , Martínez Claudio , Spuler Christian
Published: December 2023

Si bien se sabe que hay diferencias en el desarrollo vital y psíquico de personas heterosexuales cisgénero y personas LGBT+, los currículums formativos de carreras de salud incluyen escasa o nula información sobre estas temáticas. En el caso particular de la carrera de psicología en Latinoamérica no se cuenta con información empírica acerca de esta escasez. Bajo este contexto la Red Latinoamericana de Investigación en Salud Mental en Psicoterapia y Salud Mental en Diversidad Sexual y de Género ha decidido realizar un estudio multicéntrico con el objetivo de responder la pregunta ¿qué se enseña sobre diversidad sexual, afectiva y de género en el currículum de la carrera de psicología? El presente artículo corresponde a los resultados del pilotaje de la investigación en Chile con una muestra de seis universidades. En total se revisaron 93 programas referentes a psicoterapia y salud mental a través del método de revisión sistemática de literatura gris o no convencional. El resultado de la investigación presenta evidencia a favor del nulo o escaso abordaje de las temáticas LGBT+ en psicología, encontrándose solo seis referencias explícitas en la totalidad de programas revisados.

O dossiê deste número de ReBiblica é dedicado à celebração dos 30 anos do documento “A Interpretação da Bíblia na Igreja”, publicado em 15 de abril de 1993 pela Pontifícia Comissão Bíblica. Como destacou Sua Santidade, o Papa São João Paulo II, de saudosa memória, em seu discurso dirigido aos membros da Pontifícia Comissão Bíblica, à época presidida pelo Cardeal Joseph Ratzinger, futuro Papa Bento XVI, o documento foi completado e apresentado à Igreja numa época muito oportuna, justamente quando se celebrava os cem anos da Encíclica Providentissimus Deus, do Papa Leão XIII, e os 50 anos da Encíclica Divino Afflante Spiritu, do Papa Pio XII, ambas dedicadas ao tema do estudo das Sagradas Escrituras.
Quem tem medo do método histórico-crítico?
Authors: Dias da Silva Cássio Murilo
Published: December 2023

Este artigo evita explicar o que é o método histórico-crítico, sua história, seus pressupostos e os vários passos metodológicos que ele comporta. Diferentemente, apresentará dois painéis. Primeiro, mais longo, traçará um esboço do processo de sua aceitação pela Igreja Católica, desde a Providentissimus Deus, de Leão XIII (1893) até o relativamente recente Inspiração e Verdade da Sagrada Escritura, da Pontifícia Comissão Bíblica (2014). Este primeiro painel mostrará que, não obstante o fato de o método histórico-crítico (no seu todo ou parcialmente) estar sempre presente nos documentos sobre a interpretação e o uso da Sagrada Escritura na Igreja Católica, ele continua a encontrar resistência para ser aceito e praticado sem medo. O segundo painel, mais breve, demonstrará que o Catecismo da Igreja Católica (1992) simplesmente não levou em conta o que os documentos da própria Igreja Católica afirma e deliberadamente se esqueceu do método histórico-crítico e, por fim, apresentará linhas possíveis para um diálogo entre a exegese do método histórico-crítico e a leitura bíblica latino-americana.
Marvellous Conquests: The Adventures of Christianity and Astronomy in the Boy’s Own Paper (1889–1900)
Authors: Guyton Adele
Published: December 2023

This article argues two things about astronomy in the fiction of the Boy’s Own Paper (BOP) in the long 1890s: that astronomy is used to inspire muscular Christian moral improvement, broadly understood, and that we should understand this representation as enabled by the state of contemporary astronomy. At the close of the century, astronomy was an extremely popular science, and the locus of astronomical authority was unclear, permitting a wide variety of ideological positions within popularisation. This article first employs close readings of astronomical passages in the BOP from the 1890s to show that writers link adventure and heroism in frontier spaces to astronomy by using its most popular and engaging features alongside uncontested facts. Second, a discussion of A Marvellous Conquest: A Story of the Bayouda (1889), a serialised scientific romance by André Laurie, further demonstrates that the most important aspect of the use of astronomy within the BOP’s didactic project is its resonances with muscular Christianity rather than its scientific accuracy for educational purposes.
Factors Influencing Fetal Growth
Authors: Mongelli M
Published: December 2023

Birth weight remains one of the most important measures we have of the health status of a population, and is a strong predictor of both neonatal mortality and morbidity. It reflects maternal nutritional status and fetal growth rates in the antenatal period. Although a large number of physiological and pathological variables can affect the growth rate, for most cases of growth-restricted fetuses a cause cannot be determined. Awareness of the physiological aspects of fetal growth is important in assessing whether the fetus is growing normally. This article is a review of recent findings and key historical material on factors influencing birth weight.
Changing Trends in Indications for Caesarean Sections in a Tertiary Hospital
Authors: Tan W C , Devendra K , Tan A S A
Published: December 2023

Objectives: To study the caesarean section rate and the trends in indications for caesarean delivery at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) during two study periods of 6 months each.

Materials and Methods: The percentages of caesarean sections attributable to specific indications were computed for the first 6 months of 1998 and the last 6 months of 2001. Subgroup analysis of “less common indications” was performed.

Results: In the first half of 1998, 170 caesarean sections were performed giving a rate of 16.77%. 54.12% of women were multiparous. The main indication for caesarean section was dystocia (4.24% of deliveries). Two hundred and sixty caesarean sections were performed in the later half of 2001 giving a caesarean section rate of 25.10%. 53.46% of women were multiparous. The main indication for caesarean section was dystocia (5.41% of deliveries). Increase in caesarean section rate in 2001 was attributed to statistically significant increase in caesarean section for previous caesarean section and placenta previa major. Other changes in practice included shorter operating time which may be related to decision not to perform peritoneal closure.

Conclusion: Studying indications for caesarean section are useful for hospitals, clinicians and researchers in determining strategies to lower primary and repeat caesarean section rate.
Neonatology In Singapore: The Way We Were, The Way Forward
Authors: Ho N K
Published: December 2023

Singapore has a maternity hospital since 1924, but for many decades the newborns could only receive basic care. Neonatal and perinatal mortality rates were high. Marked improvement in neonatal care began from the 1980s when many neonatal departments were set up to provide intensive care. Improved socioeconomic status, better healthcare facilities, effective infection control, immunisation programmes and availability of potent antibiotics contributed to the decline of perinatal and neonatal mortality. Following the implementation of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency screening programme, severe neonatal jaundice and kernicterus were largely reduced. Exchange blood transfusions initiated in the 1960s and phototherapy in the 1970s had saved many babies. Kernicterus is almost not seen now. With more neonatal-trained staff, organised resuscitation teams, advances in respiratory management and better monitoring equipment, more babies have survived. Closer cooperation between obstetricians and neonatologists was a great leap forward towards perinatal medicine. Physicians should endeavour to reduce the incidence and prevalence of birth defects and metabolic errors. Perinatal asphyxia should be promptly detected and managed effectively, including neuroprotective strategies. There should be markers to predict the outcome of asphyxiated babies for decision-making. Neonatologists should be mindful of safe introduction of new technologies and rapid diagnostic techniques for infections, including group B streptococcal screening and chemoprophylaxis when required. Other current issues include prevention of major morbidities, preservation of brain function, improved neurodevelopmental outcome of premature babies, use of blood substitutes, optimal nutrition, fetal surgery, evidence-based medicine, better information systems, avoidance of medication errors, adequate sedation and pain relief of the baby, and the use of nitric oxide. One should bear in mind the need to enhance the neonatal intensive care environment, improve non-invasive monitoring and minimise invasive procedures. Physicians should prioritise neonatal care for their country and utilise less costly neonatal care. Ethical issues in neonatology that arise following advancement in neonatal care deserve attention. Advances in life sciences, such as the completion of the human genome project, cloning of tissues and organs, human stem cell research and technology, gene therapy, deoxyribonucleic acid vaccines and nanomedicine, should benefit neonatology.
Long-term Follow-up and Outcome of Extremely-low-birth-weight (ELBW) Infants
Authors: Agarwal P , Lim S B
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Modern day obstetric and neonatal care has dramatically increased the survival of the extremely-low-birth-weight (ELBW) neonates. As the limits of viability decrease, it is of paramount importance to have reliable data on long-term morbidity. Long-term follow-up of these high-risk survivors is thus becoming an integral part of neonatal intensive care units.

Methods: Detailed Medline search and review of leading journal articles were done to assess the current data on long-term outcome of ELBW infants.

Results: The developmental outcome of the ELBW infant is determined by a complex interaction of medical and environmental factors acting on a developmentally vulnerable premature brain. In early childhood, 13% to 37% of ELBW survivors have a significant delay in cognitive function while 7% to 17% have neurosensory impairment viz. cerebral palsy. Advances have been made in measuring functional outcome to assess the impact of ELBW births on long-term quality of life and skills for independent living. Measuring school age outcome is an important landmark in the longitudinal follow-up of ELBW infants and most reports show high rates of cognitive impairment as well as increased incidence of learning disability and school difficulties as well as behavioural problems. The ELBW adolescent and young adult continue to lag behind in academic achievement and cognitive score. However, more than half of the ELBW survivors function within the normal range of variability and their self-reported quality of life in adolescence continues to be comparable to that of their peers.

Conclusion: In managing ELBW infants, a holistic, systematic approach is needed to assess the degree and impact of impairment on their daily function and issues related to quality of life.
Eight-year Outcome of Very-low-birth-weight Infants Born in KK Hospital
Authors: Daniel L M , Lim S B , Clarke L
Published: December 2023

Aim: To determine the education, neurodevelopmental outcome and educational achievement of babies weighing <1500 g at 8 years of age.

Materials and Methods: This prospective study involved 171 of 202 survivors from KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKWCH). Cognitive function was assessed using the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children – version III (WISC–III).

Results: Of these, 90.1% were in mainstream education and 1.2% were in home or religious schools. Special education programmes were recommended for 11.1% of children [24.4% of 56 extremely-low-birth-weight (ELBW) babies <1000 g and 9.6% of 115 larger babies weighing 1000 to 1499 g]. Of these, only 7.8% eventually enrolled and 1.2% were not in any programme. In 136 children who had psychological assessments, the mean full-scale, verbal and performance intelligence scores were 87.0 ± 17.7, 86.6 ± 17.0 and 90.1 ± 21.8 in ELBWs and 96.1 ± 18.3, 93.3 ± 15.7 and 100.0 ± 17.5 in larger children, with the former having significantly lower scores than the latter (full scale: P = 0.02, 95% CI –18.23, –4.18; verbal: P = 0.04, 95% CI –13.8, –1.95; performance: P = 0.004, 95% CI –17.67, –3.35). 33.8% of the cohort, 49.0% of ELBWs and 25.3% of larger children had neurodevelopmental impairment (full scale score <85 or in need of special education). Logistic regression analysis showed that birth weight <1000 g, female sex, Chinese race, a non-intact family structure and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) were significant risk factors associated with neurodevelopmental impairment. 72.7% of children scored ≥50% of total marks for English, Mathematics and second language. 14.1% had Band 4 (<50% of total marks) in all 3 subjects. Logistic regression analysis showed that the only significant risk factors associated with adverse school performance in any of these three subjects were hypoglycaemia in the newborn period and impaired cognitive function.

Conclusion: The outcome of ELBWs is a major cause of concern. BPD and hypoglycaemia were the only perinatal factors that still exerted an influence on outcome at 8 years. Better methods of prediction of academic difficulty are critical for this high-risk group of children.
Contra el posibilismo, o por qué disputarle el republicanismo a la derecha
Authors: Macarena Macarena
Published: December 2023

En este artículo reviso un debate entre el republicanismo liberal-conservador y los republicanismos populares y/o de izquierdas y/o plebeyos, que toma cada vez más forma en el contexto académico argentino, unos diez años después de que la noción de república logró una presencia constante en las editoriales de los diarios nacionales de gran tirada y en los discursos políticos de los sectores de derecha de la política argentina. Mi aporte a este debate tiene el fin de enfatizar la importancia de reforzar el republicanismo igualitarista con una idea de pueblo articulado que radicalice, deshomogeneizándola, la dicotomía tradicional elite/oligarquía versus pueblo.

A obesidade pode ser entendida como um problema de saúde significativo. Entre as formas de enfrentamento, a prática de atividade física encontra-se entre as mais importantes. Mapeamos, analisamos e discutimos a existência de espaços públicos e particulares disponíveis para a prática de atividades físicas nos 78 municípios do Espírito Santo (ES) por meio de geoprocessamento, Sistemas de Informação Geográfica, fotointerpretação e georreferenciamento. Nesse artigo, analisamos dados de uma amostra intencional constituída por seis municípios, dois de cada região de saúde do estado. Os dados indicam maiores oportunidades de prática de atividades físicas nos municípios de menor população, especialmente quando considerados os espaços públicos organizados. O atendimento das demandas por espaços/equipamentos é condição básica para as práticas de atividade físicas e, portanto, uma condição necessária para o enfrentamento da obesidade. Nesse sentido, conhecer a realidade quanto à existência e distribuição de espaços/equipamentos se constitui como um pressuposto para a indicação de políticas públicas para o enfrentamento da doença.
