Authors: Wadhwani Nikita , Mehar Ishwar Chand , Singh Arun , Soni R. K.
Published: July 2018

Background: As the laparoscopic method is becoming a popular choice of repair, the need to evaluate its impact on the patient’s quality of life (QOL) is also warranted. This study was undertaken to compare post operative QOL in patients undergoing Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) and Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair for indirect inguinal hernia.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery at VMMC and Safdarjung Hospital, from June 2016 to March 2018. Patients with uncomplicated indirect inguinal hernia were included in the study after obtaining their informed consent. Post-operative QOL was evaluated using EuraHS-QOL scale at 24 hours and 1, 3 and 6 months after the surgery.Results: A total of sixty patients were enrolled-30 in TEP group and 30 in TAPP group. There was no statistical significant difference in scores at 24 hours follow-up except cosmetic discomfort domain, with higher scores in TAPP (p-value=0.014). Statistical significant difference was present at 1 month follow up with higher scores in TAPP (p-value=0.011). At 3 and 6 months, no statistical difference was found in the scores.Conclusions: Present study demonstrates a significant advantage of TEP over TAPP up to 1-month follow-up, in terms of post-operative QOL. Choosing a superior laparoscopic method between TEP and TAPP requires high powered RCTs with long term follow up to assess the technical advantages and post-operative complications along with post-operative quality of life in patients.

Published: July 2018

From January 2003 to December 2017, the authors report five cases of acute intestinal obstruction during pregnancy. Two of them were received in digestive and proctological surgery emergencies. The other three patients were received urgently from the obstetrics and gynecology department. This association is a rare event. Clinical polymorphism delays the therapeutic management. In 1/5 cases only the diagnosis of occlusion on pregnancy was made. In 2/5 of the cases the diagnosis of occlusion was made and that of the pregnancy which at the 1st trimester was unknown. In last 2/5 of cases the pregnancies were at the 3rd trimester, the diagnosis of occlusion during pregnancy was made intraoperatively; Caesarean section being indicated for the fetal in distress on probable urinary tract infection. Authors did not have any maternal-fetal deaths.  Through five cases of this association and a review of the literature, authors highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties and the therapeutic attitudes likely to improve the feto-maternal prognosis. This fetal prognosis depends essentially on the age of the pregnancy and the speed of the management.

Authors: Dobreva Diana A. , Merdzhanova Albena V. , Stancheva Mona D. , Terziyski Doychin I. , Panayotova Veselina Z.
Published: July 2018

Background: Vitamins are very important for the human body because they are necessary for many biological absorption processes of other nutrients, for cells and tissues growth and repair. Because of this, there are many recommendations on daily vitamins intake, approved by the different country and world food organizations. Usually under the term "vitamin B12" is understood only cyanocobalamin, but actually this name is general and covers all potentially biologically active "cobalamins"- a group of cobalt-containing compounds. Animal foods, as different meat, milk, eggs, fish and shellfish are considered as the main dietary sources of this vitamin. They contain different forms (methylcobalamin and deoxyadenosylcobalamin) of vitamin B12 in different amounts. There is limited information in the scientific literature about the vitamin B12 content in black sea fish and shellfish. The aims of the present work were to determine and compare vitamin B12 contents as well as relative daily intake of vitamins in different fish and shellfish species from Black Sea waters.

Methods: Vitamin B12 was analysed spectrophotometrically. The method for quantitative analysis includes extraction from the edible tissue and enzymatic hydrolysis to release the cobalt ions.  

Results: The quantities of vitamin B12 found in the edible tissue of the analysed samples ranged from 0.63 μg.100 g-1 ww to 21.5 μg.100 g-1 ww.

Conclusions: The observed results confirm that all fish and molluscs samples deliver significant quantities of the water-soluble vitamin B12.

Authors: Goil Pradeep , Sharma Pankaj , Midya Manojit , Prakash Gautam
Published: July 2018

Background: The lateral supramalleolar flap is based on a perforator of the peroneal artery, emanating at approximately 5 cm above the lateral malleolus on the anterior aspect of lower third leg.

Methods: Our technique of harvesting the supramalleolar flap is by using a fasciocutaneous pedicle and minimal perforator dissection. We have done 45 cases in the last 7 years and have got favourable results with this technique.

Results: We have not had a single case of total flap necrosis of a supramalleolar flap in our experience over the last 7 years. We routinely perform this flap when the reverse sural flap territory is not available.

Conclusions: The lateral supramalleolar flap is a useful flap for coverage of lower third leg, ankle and dorsal foot defects. If raised as described, the reliability of this flap is increased.

 
Comparison of efficiency of 1% permethrin lotion vs. 0.5% ivermectin shampoo in the treatment of pediculosis capitis
Authors: Monisha B. M. , Madhumitha M. , Thilagavathi S.
Published: July 2018

Background: Pediculosis or head louse infestation is a common condition and an issue of concern in developing countries. Various treatment options are available for the management of this condition but still needs further research due to drug resistance. This study seeks to compare the efficacy of 1% permethrin lotion and 0.5% ivermectin shampoo in the management of pediculosis capitis.

Methods: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from September 2013 to June 2015. Patients presenting with pediculosis capitis infestation were divided into two groups of 50 each. They were treated with either topical 1% permethrin lotion or 0.5% ivermectin shampoo. Follow up was done once in 4 weeks on the extent of head lice infestation.

Results: After being treated with either topical 1% permethrin or 0.5% ivermectin shampoo, the presence of nits decreased significantly in the ivermectin group. Number of patients either had no nits or less than 5 dead nits in the permethrin group than in the ivermectin group.

Conclusions: It is concluded that both 1% permethrin and 0.5% ivermectin have comparable efficacies in managing pediculosis capitis infestation, but permethrin was found to be more effective in treatment. In addition, none of the participants in both the treatment groups experienced any side effects.  This is one of the very few studies exploring the treatment efficacy of topical ivermectin and the potential scope for future studies on the treatment options for pediculosis capitis.

Tattooing remains a common custom in various countries and cultures. Tattooing has been practiced in India since ancient era. It has tremendous religious and spiritual significance. In addition, tattooing for cosmetic purposes has become quite popular in recent times. With this increasing trend, there is also an increased risk of adverse effects. A tattoo is the deposition of exogenous pigment in to the dermis. Decorative tattoos are more common. Cutaneous reactions to tattoos are uncommonly reported in literature. We report an uncommon occurrence of tattoo inoculated cutaneous tuberculosis presenting as lupus vulgaris in young adult who responded to standard antitubercular therapy.
Espiritualidad y salud: problemas de salud durante el embarazo y el puerperio y sus consecuencias en las trayectorias de mujeres y niños (Salta, Argentina)
Authors: Remorini Carolina , Palermo María Laura , Schvartzman Lucía
Published: July 2018

Este trabajo aborda la relación entre salud y espiritualidad a través del análisis de la narrativa de padecimientos que ocurren durante el embarazo y el puerperio y afectan a mujeres y niños en comunidades rurales de Molinos (Valles Calchaquíes, Salta). Se basa en una investigación desarrollada entre 2009 y 2017, en el marco de la cual se realizaron 33 entrevistas semiestructuradas a mujeres cuidadoras de niños menores de seis años, y en la que se focalizó en el modo en que las entrevistadas presentaban las secuencias de eventos que rodeaban la emergencia de problemas de salud propios y de sus hijos, en las que se conjugan aspectos orgánicos, emocionales y espirituales tanto en su etiología como en su terapéutica. Tomamos como ejemplos de análisis el susto y sus variantes, la recaída y la matriz. Los sentidos otorgados a estos padecimientos ponen de relieve la dimensión espiritual que justifica la apelación a recursos médicos tradicionales. Nuestro enfoque busca trascender la perspectiva taxonómica y esencialista para dar cuenta de los aspectos procesuales involucrados en la experiencia de enfermar.
Entre médicos y sanadores: gestionando sentidos y prácticas sobre el proceso de salud-enfermedad-atención en un movimiento carismático católico argentino
Authors: Olmos Álvarez Ana Lucía
Published: July 2018

Este trabajo describe y analiza las trayectorias y las estrategias de búsqueda de sanación entre los miembros de un movimiento católico carismático de sanación en Argentina. A partir de una investigación etnográfica realizada entre julio de 2009 y abril de 2015, se focaliza en las concepciones, prácticas y experiencias en torno a la salud-enfermedad-atención. Se señala que el evento de enfermedad requiere una respuesta cognitiva y otra práctica para su gestión e involucra, principalmente, dos recursos terapéuticos: la biomedicina y las terapias religiosas. Asimismo, se postula que cada recurso es referido en momentos específicos de las trayectorias y el pasaje de uno a otro implica el cambio de una noción restringida por una holística del proceso salud-enfermedad-atención.
Las salas multiconfesionales en el contexto hospitalario catalán: negociaciones y tensiones en la gestión de la diversidad
Authors: Clot-Garrell Anna , Griera Mar
Published: July 2018

Las salas multiconfesionales son un modelo emergente de gestión y acomodación de la diversidad religiosa que prolifera en el ámbito sanitario. Este artículo se centra en la micropolítica implicada en el diseño de estos espacios multireligiosos en el contexto hospitalario. Partiendo de la evidencia empírica reciente y del “giro material” en el estudio de la religión, ponemos el acento en estudiar las negociaciones materiales que subyacen en la creación de estos espacios religiosos. El artículo se basa en un estudio etnográfico desarrollado entre 2013 y 2016, con una estrategia de casos múltiple (tres hospitales) en el contexto catalán. Se realizaron doce entrevistas en profundidad a líderes religiosos de diferentes confesiones, a trabajadores y personal directivo del hospital, y observaciones en las salas multiconfesionales. Se concluye que los espacios multiconfesionales no son conciliadores ni integradores per se, sino más bien contextos de tensión y contestación. Una dimensión, por tanto, conflictual inherente a la naturaleza de este tipo de espacios que debe reconocerse e integrarse en la gestión de la diversidad en el contexto hospitalario.
Fantasmas e inflamaciones: reflexiones sobre las interpelaciones terapéuticas a la religión en India
Authors: Bindi Serena
Published: July 2018

Este artículo trata sobre la presencia y el rol clave de seres no humanos dotados de intención en el diagnóstico y la cura. Desde la corriente de estudios dedicados al pluralismo y los itinerarios de cura, se analiza la persistencia de la categoría del fantasma –entidad no humana dotada de intencionalidad– en los recorridos de curación, a la par de la biomedicina y sus categorías diagnósticas. Los datos que constituyen la base de este artículo fueron recogidos en el curso de numerosas estadías de campo etnográficas llevadas a cabo entre 2005 y 2015 en una red de pueblos situados en la región del Garhwal, en el distrito de Uttarkashi, que ocupa el área noroccidental de Uttarkhand, India. A partir de estos datos se intenta reflexionar sobre las razones por las cuales los pacientes, en determinados contextos, en el proceso de diagnóstico y curación, se dirigen a diferentes especialistas, incluso de forma simultánea.
Procesos de institucionalización del servicio de capellanía y la asistencia espiritual no católica para hospitales públicos de Argentina
Authors: Irrazábal Gabriela
Published: July 2018

En este artículo nos interesa reconstruir cómo se desarrolla el proceso de institucionalización de un presbiterio de capellanes no católicos para poder adaptarse e interactuar con las instituciones públicas de Argentina, particularmente, las de salud. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas cualitativas a actores religiosos formados en temas de bioética, observación participante en espacios de formación, congresos y jornadas de bioética y salud y análisis documental de material de estudio y declaraciones de actores religiosos sobre temas de salud y bioética. En un contexto de relaciones de asimetría entre el Estado y las iglesias y pluralización del campo religioso surgen requerimientos de asistencia espiritual diversos en espacios institucionales estatales. En este marco se institucionaliza esta organización de capellanes que desarrolla un ethos propio en búsqueda de reconocimiento, visibilidad y legitimidad social para ofrecer un servicio de capellanía en instituciones donde los únicos capellanes reconocidos y solventados por el Estado pertenecen a la religión católica.

Published: July 2018

A farmácia hospitalar abriga medicamentos de alto custo, e sua gestão profissionalizada pode garantir a sobrevivência mercadológica dessas instituições e viabilizar o exercício profissional da medicina. O objetivo é apresentar uma proposta de gestão dos estoques de uma farmácia, empregando-se três métodos da manufatura: (1) Padronização, (2) Protocolos e (3) Classificação ABC Este estudo de caso quantitativo utilizou a estatística descritiva simples no processo de gestão de estoques da farmácia de uma instituição hospitalar privada da cidade de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. Coletaram-se dados pré e pós-implementação dos métodos citados, entre janeiro de 2003 e outubro de 2004. Obteve-se redução de 23,07% no número de itens abrigados no estoque; entre esses 271 (32,26%), voltavam-se aos cuidados diretos com o paciente, e apenas 128 desses itens eram medicamentos. A instituição não utilizava a Classificação ABC, e esta mostrou que os produtos da classe A representaram 71 % do valor do estoque, sinalizando diferenciar sua gestão. Conclui-se que os medicamentos representam parcela relevante na composição dos custos hospitalares, o que implica emprego de processos inovadores na gestão da farmácia, com redução dos custos institucionais e democratização do acesso aos serviços de saúde.

“BROKER OR BRAKEMAN?”: AN ANALYSIS OF PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES ON SCHUMAN PLAN BETWEEN BRITISH LABOUR AND CONSERVATIVE PARTIES
Authors: Uz Hançarlı Pınar
Published: July 2018

9 May 1950 was a milestone in the history of European Integration when the French Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman proposed the pooling of French and West German supplies of coal and
steel; and made an invitation to other European states willing to be involved in this plan. The
invitation for the conference on Schuman Plan came to the agenda of British Parliament on 26
June as a motion by Conservative Party demanding Labour Party Government to accept the
invitation which had already been declined at the end of May, 1950. Following the debate on 26-
27 June, The Economist published an article titled “Broker or Brakeman?” in which the Schuman
Plan discussions on British Parliament were explored. The Journal was arguing that “it is the
resemblances, not the differences, between the outlook of Government and Opposition that are
most striking” on this issue of foreign policy. Although this argument makes sense to a certain
extent; this study argues that it was the adversarial nature of British party politics that shaped the
general structure of the above mentioned parliamentary debate. Moreover, this nature contributed
the decision makers to apply exceptionalist discourses and policies when it came to European
Integration, therefore to a British non-involvement in the Plan.
METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS APPLIED FOR WATER PURIFICATION
Authors: Administrator Open Journal Systems TPU
Published: July 2018

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) which are materials constructed from metal ions/clusters bridged with organic linkers have emerged as an important family of porous materials for widely varying applications. The purification of water polluted with both of organic and inorganic contaminants is a potentially promising application of MOFs since the chemical and thermal properties of the porous materials are easily tunable, e.g. ligand modification, different metal, etc. The demonstration of alignment and the obtained insights facilitate the direction of designing ideal MOF materials with improved water stability for application in water purification. This review gives a brief overview and will be beneficial to the design, functionalization, and promotion of the development of MOFs as adsorbent materials for applications in water purification.

В докладе представлены исследования, посвященные проектированию и строительству солнечной электростанции мощностью 60 МВт в городе Саран. В Карагандинском государственном техническом университете построена экспериментальная солнечная электростанция для изучения технических параметров фотоэлектрических модулей в эксплуатационных условиях и их адаптации к климатическим условиям Караганды, расположенным в Центральном Казахстане. Был проведен статистический анализ данных, и были оценены параметры распределения с критериями для обработки экспериментальных результатов. Выяснилось, что система мониторинга и изменение значений азимутального и зенитного углов солнечных модулей будут эффективными для Караганды. Результаты наблюдений показали, что количество электроэнергии, произведенной в 2014 году, превысило количество, вырабатываемое в 2015 году, в пределах 10% в зависимости от месяца года. Повышение температуры на 1ºC от 25ºC снижает мощность солнечной панели примерно на 0,51%.

¿Cuáles han sido los patrones históricos y las fuerzas geopolíticas que han moldeado la integración centroamericana? Esta es la pregunta principal que se trata de responder en esta obra. Con un ojo en el presente y otro en el pasado, se exploran de manera general las dinámicas fundamentales que han constreñido o potencializado la integración de Centroamérica. El eje de este análisis comprende las interpretaciones que hacen las élites centroamericanas y las potencias extraístmicas sobre el espacio centroamericano y su ubicación, asignando valores determinados con frecuencia por visiones exógenas, contrastadas por limitaciones estructurales internas y externas que terminan por producir imágenes geopolíticas híbridas sobre el valor geoestratégico de Centroamérica.
Esta obra se enfoca en cinco tendencias geopolíticas que han encuadran la integración centroamericana: el papel de la soberanía territorial sobre la formación del poder y las identidades nacionales, la influencia de potencias extraístmicas como fuerza formadora de las visiones acerca del valor y la identidad geopolítica de Centroamérica, el relanzamiento y expansión del proceso de integración desde los Estados y más allá de ellos, así como las fuerzas internacionales favorables al mismo, y finalmente el desafío emergente presentado por el espectro ideológico neonacionalista, como fuerza opuesta a la integración de mercados, economías, poblaciones y políticas.
Effect of Hippophae Rhamnoides L. Leaves Treatment on the Radical Scavenging Activity, Reducing Power, Total Phenol Content and Sensory Profile of Dry White Wines Vinified with and without the Use of Sulphur Dioxide

Published: July 2018

This study evaluated the influence of the addition of increasing quantities of Hippophae rhamnoides L. leaves (HRL) on the radical scavenging activity, main oenological parameters and organoleptic characteristics of three white wines made from moschofilero and one white wine made from riesling grapes respectively. Radical Scavenging activity, reducing power, total phenol content (TPC) and color intensity increased in a linear manner in relation to HRL treatments. Indicatively the addition of 0.8 g/L of HRL increased the radical scavenging activity as determined via the inhibition of the DPPH radical from 23.2 to 58.4% in comparison to the initial values. Equally the reducing power as determined by the FRAP assay increased from 34.5 to 82.3%, TPC increased from 12.3 to 26.8% and the color intensity increased from 39-50% . The main oenological attributes examined, remained unchanged after the HRL addition. The addition of up to 0.4 g/L of HRL did not have a major impact on the organoleptic characteristics of the wines tasted whereas concentrations higher than 0.8 g/L were not considered beneficial. Results denote that the addition of Hippophae rhamnoides L. leaves to white wines contributes positively to the overall antioxidant capacity and could be used as an antioxidant agent in wines vinified in the absence of sulphur dioxide.

Published: July 2018

Arterial ischemic stroke (AIS), with an estimated incidence of 1.1–4.3 per 100,000, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children and the risk of recurrence is high. We present the case of an 11-year-old child who presented with a symptomatology of acute ischemic stroke of unknown etiology. The radiological investigation did not reveal any underlying brain abnormality that could cause the event. The diagnostic work up included an echocardiogram, which revealed a thrombus in the right atrium, in conjunction with a patent foramen ovale. The patient was initiated immediately on anticoagulation therapy with low molecular weight heparin and warfarin, but two days later she suffered pulmonary emboli, diagnosed with spiral thorax computed tomography (CT) scan. An ultrasound study of the vessels of the lower extremities revealed deep venous thrombosis (DVT), which was considered to be the underlying causative mechanism.

Published: July 2018

Oğuz Türkçesinin gelişim aşamasındaki tarihî safahatını değerlendirmek açısından mensur eserlerin önemi ayrı bir değer taşımaktadır. Mensur eserler gerek ses bilgisi gerek şekil bilgisi gerekse söz dizimi ve anlam bilimi açılarından incelemek için çok daha fazla ve çeşitli oranda malzeme temin eder. Emir Unsuru’l Maâlî Keykâvus bin İskender bin Kâbûs bin Veşmgir tarafından 1082 yılında yazılmış olan Kabusname Türkçeye pek çok kez tercüme edilmiştir. Mercümek Ahmed’in 1431/32 yılında yapmış olduğu çeviri Oğuz Türkçesinin en ekmel örneklerinden biridir. Nazmizade Murtaza 1705 yılında Mercümek Ahmed’in çevirisini zamanın diline uyarlayarak bir tür dil-içi aktarım örneği ortaya koymuştur. Nazmizâde bu çevirisini yaparken klâsik Osmanlı Türkçesinin üslubunu en iyi şekilde yansıtarak ağır bir dil kullanmış, zaman zaman da dönemin diline göre son derece sade bir üslup ortaya koymuştur. Nazmizâde çevirisinde Mercümek Ahmed’in çevirisine nazaran göze çarpan önemli farklılıklardan biri, birleşik fiillerin kullanım oranı ve şeklidir. Birleşik fiilerin kullanım oranının, doğu kaynaklı yabancı kelime oranının artışına binaen, 15. yüzyıldan 18. yüzyıla kadar oldukça fazlalaştığı tahmin edilebilmektedir. Çalışmaya dâhil edilen bölümler içerisinde Mercümek Ahmed çevirisinde 121, Nazmizâde Murtaza çevirisinde 329 birleşik fiilin tespit edilmiş olması bu meselenin açıkça kanıtıdır. Bu çalışmamızda her iki çevirinin karşılıklı değerlendirilmesi esasında Oğuz Türkçesinde, Kabusname örneği çerçevesinde, ana yardımcı fiillerin kullanımının 15. yüzyıldan 18. yüzyıla nasıl bir değişim geçirdiğini ortaya koymaya çalışacağız.

Klasik Türk edebiyatı kültür ve edebiyata kıymet veren hamiler vasıtasıyla gelişimini sürdürmüş bir edebiyat olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Türk edebiyatının tarihi seyri araştırıldığında, sanatkârların bazı dönemlerde bazı merkezler ile bilim, sanat ve edebiyata ilgi duyan kimseler etrafında toplandıkları görülür.Bu toplantıların yapıldığı mekânların başında merkezde padişah sarayı ve diğer devlet büyüklerinin konakları, taşrada ise şehzade sarayları ile paşa ve beylerin konakları gelmektedir. Bunların dışında şairlerin kendi aralarında yaptıkları toplantılar da vardır. Bu merkezlerde teşekkül eden/ettirilen edebî muhitler marifetiyle edebî geleneğimiz bir taraftan gelişirken bir taraftan da yaygınlık kazanmıştır.Sahip olduğu coğrafî, iktisadî ve siyasî konumu dolayısıyla tarihinin her döneminde bulunduğu coğrafyada bilim, kültür ve sanatın merkezi olan Diyarbakır da yetiştirdiği yüzlerce sanatkâr ile Türk kültür ve edebiyatında önemli bir mevkiye sahip olmuştur. Bu çalışmada bilhassa Ali Emîrî’nin Tezkire-i Şu’arâ-yı Âmid adlı eserinden hareketle Osmanlı coğrafyasının doğusundaki önemli idare merkezlerinden biri olan Diyarbakır’daki kültür ve sanat hayatının şekillendiği edebî çevreler konu edilecektir.
Where is the Clinical Breakthrough of Heme Oxygenase-1 / Carbon Monoxide Therapeutics?
Authors: Hopper Christopher P. , Meinel Lorenz , Steiger Christoph , Otterbein Leo E.
Published: July 2018

Heme oxygenase (HO), the rate-limiting step in the degradation of heme to biliverdin, ferrous ion, and
carbon monoxide (CO), is an ancestral protective enzyme conserved across phylogenetic domains. While HO was
first described in the late 1960s and progressively characterized in the following decades, there has been a surge
of innovation over the past twenty years in efforts to leverage the cytoprotective power of HO in a clinical setting.
Despite the plethora of preclinical data indicating extraordinary therapeutic potential, HO has remained elusive
from the physician’s toolbox. The leading candidate in development, CO, has long been misconstrued as a useless
toxic gas. Scientists have crafted an array of CO delivery molecules and devices to harness HO, however, each
endeavor was met with limitations preventing translation into clinical practice. In this discussion, we summarize
the HO / CO field with a clinical and commercial development perspective. More specifically, given the enormous
global efforts and capital investment into the field, we ask: where is the breakthrough therapy?

Published: July 2018

Background:

Adolescence is considered as one of the most vulnerable periods. The deficiencies
and poor nutritional habits and lack of physical activity will have irreparable consequences in
adulthood. This study was aimed to determine the behavioural patterns of nutritional and physical activity
among the urban and rural students in Urmia, Iran.

Methods:

The present study was designed and implemented using a sectional and descriptive-analytic
approach. Using a stratified random sampling method, 194 males and 191 female high school students
were chosen to participate. Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLPII) was used for data collection.
The overall average score of physical activity in students was 55.57 ± 4.88, and in the aspect of
nutritional behaviour it was equal to 64.04 ± 3.67.

Results:

No significant difference was observed between physical activity, nutritional behaviours and
socio-demographic variables (gender, type of school, place of residence, parental education). Based on
multivariate regression analysis, there was a significant relationship between physical activity and the
field of education. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between children’s nutritional
behaviour and mothers’ education.

Conclusion:

Considering importance of mothers’ role in upbringing adolescents and forming their
healthy behavioural patterns and the significant relationship of mothers’ education and healthy
behaviours, training and increasing health literacy level of this class of population can be an imperative
step in promoting the mental and physical health of adolescents.

Published: July 2018

Background:

Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is an unexpected death caused by heart dysfunction. Autoantibodies against cardiac proteins may be potentially involved in the occurrence and progression of cardiac disease and SCD. The first report on the role of autoantibodies in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy appeared in the 1980s. In recent years new studies on the effects of the presence of specific autoantibodies and their relationship to ventricular arrhythmias and SCD were published. The purpose of the current mini-review is to analyze the results of the research studies focused on the relationship between anti-cardiomyocyte autoantibodies and SCD with respect to autoimmune disorders.

Conclusion:

According to our analysis, more research is needed to understand the role of these autoantibodies against cardiac proteins in the SCD pathogenesis, and potentially employ this knowledge for improving prognosis of SCD.
Design and Evaluation of a Modulated TENS Stimulation in Medical Pain Therapy
Authors: Bouafif L. , Ellouze N.
Published: July 2018

Background:

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive
pain therapy that uses the sensory effects of an electrical current applied to the skin. Some clinical
studies demonstrated that this treatment helps to reduce acute and chronic pains, while others gave
sometimes contradictory or uncertain conclusions about the performances of this strategy according
to pathology classification. The purpose of this study is the development and evaluation of a
new modulated version of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation called PWM-TENS. The
principle is based on an automatic variation of the stimulation parameters (frequency, amplitude,
duration, shape, cyclic ratio) according to the pain evolution.

Methods:

The study was a controlled clinical trial involving 15 participants, divided into 2 groups.
The first experimental group performed modulated PWM-TENS electro-stimulation sessions applied
to the painful areas 3 to 4 times a day, for one month. The second control group did parallel
treatments by Placebo. The evaluation of the pain intensity is done with the Visual Analog Scale
(EVA), the DN4 and SF36 questionnaires.

Results:

The tests and measurements with our embedded PWM-TENS technique demonstrated
that we succeeded to increase the analgesic effect after stopping the stimulation and reduced the
pain sensation by about 60%. An improvement in pain intensity scores and questionnaires (EVA,
DN4), as well as the quality of life score (SF36), was observed. Also, a reduction of the treatment
period from 3 to 1 month was also obtained.

Conclusion:

The first results clinically observed in the PWM-TENS technique are encouraging.
The findings of this study confirm that this noninvasive strategy is suitable and useful for acute
pains coming from the nociceptive, neuropathic and musculoskeletal origin. However, its efficiency
is moderated and less adapted for low back pain. The experiments make it possible to estimate
whether this modulated TENS method could improve existing anti-pain therapies, taking into
account objective and subjective evaluation criteria. But this study must be followed by large
population samples to answer all the problems of acute and chronic pains.
Reproductive Health Choices Among Adolescents in Secondary Schools: A Case Study of Selected Schools in Limpopo, South Africa
Authors: ML Netshikweta , FC Olaniyi , TG Tshitangano
Published: July 2018

Objectives:

This study was conducted to determine the knowledge, opinions and practices of female adolescents in selected secondary schools in Limpopo Province of South Africa about reproductive health issues and assess the level of parental involvement in their choices.

Materials and methods:

A quantitative, exploratory, survey design was adopted. A total of 512 learners from grades 8 (first year of secondary school) and 12 (final year) were conveniently sampled from 24 randomly selected secondary schools in Limpopo Province. Data was collected with a structured, self-administered questionnaire and analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0.

Results:

Sixteen (3.9%) of the learners attained menarche at or before the early age of 8 years and 102 (29.3%) experienced sexual debut before age 14 years. More than half of grade 12 (n =84, 52.5%) and 49 (14%) of grade 8 learners were sexually active and 80% (n = 444, 86.7%) of them were unaware of contraceptives when engaging in sexual intercourse for the first time. Only 116 (22.7%) of the respondents admitted to having knowledge about contraceptives before engaging in sex for the first time and more than a third (n = 172, 33.6%) have been pregnant at least once before the study was conducted. Parental involvement in Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) education was found to be low and many obtained the little information they have mainly through friends.

Conclusion:

Many adolescents are lacking in vital information regarding their SRH and some hold wrong opinions about contraception. Parents are advised to initiate and sustain discussions regarding SRH with their children to help them make informed reproductive health choices.
