Authors: Ahmed Fayaz , Iqbal Javaid , Hussain Faraz , Ahmed Khalil , Jabbar Hassan , Ariff Shabina
Published: January 2023

Objectives: To examine the occurrence of pneumonia linked with a ventilator in the neonatal intensive care unit and to determine the related risk factors. Purpose of study: To better identify the associated morbidity and mortality, pathophysiology, and recommended measures to avoid this disease, paediatric VAP diagnosis methods must become more standardized and exact. Study design: A cross-sectional study Place and Duration: This study was conducted at Aga Khan University hospital from May 2021 to May 2022 Methodology: This study includes a total of 70 participants admitted in neonatal intensive care unit. All the patients were put under the ventilator for more than 2 days. At the time of admission, the X-ray of the chest was performed, and it was also performed every day. When certain organisms were present on the tracheal aspirate, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) was diagnosed. After 2 days of ventilation, microbial analysis and gram staining were done for tracheal aspirates. They were later examined to determine the occurrence of nosocomial pneumonia and what are the risk factors linked with it. A Chi-square test and t-test were conducted to examine all the data. A confidence level of 0.05 was set. Results: Pneumonia associated with the ventilator occurred in 31.4% of the participants where a large number had developed it between 4-14 days after intubation. There were certain risk factors that were determined in our research. They include the use of H2 blockers, invasive lines, low PaO2/FiO2, and re-intubation. There were two things (use of steroids and enteral feeding through nasogastric) that were not linked with the occurrence of this pneumonia. The patients who were in the group of ventilator-associated pneumonia were having a longer time period of stay and mechanical ventilation. Practical implication: In newborn and paediatric intensive care units, VAP continues to be a significant and unresolved problem. The results of this study will highlight the numerous elements that significantly contribute to ventilator-associated pneumonia. Conclusion: The occurrence of pneumonia associated with ventilators is high. Those patients who were having above mentioned risk factors should require pay special attention towards prevention.

Authors: Abbasi Momina Khadija , Ali Nosheen , Naz Sehrish , Naval Ama Tul , Ali Mehak
Published: January 2023

Background: Cervical cancer has an increased rate of morbidity and mortality among women most commonly in terms of cervical adenocarcinoma. Histopathology has been considered as the foundation for diagnosing the tissue changes associated with cervical cancer. However, there are controversies in identifying their prognostic value. Methods: It is a retrospective study in which 100 participants suffering from cervical adenocarcinoma and 200 participants of squamous cell carcinoma between the time period of 2017-2020 at the cancer center Pakistan were analyzed. The study was conducted between the time period of Dec, 2021 to Nov, 2022. All the patients were diagnosed histologically and were treated through radiotherapy or surgery. Demographic history along with area of registry, grade, size, stage and histology of tumor, diagnosis year, examination and involvement of lymph nodes, radiotherapy and type of surgery were assessed with the help of Akaike information criteria (AIC). Results: Total cancer records available for evaluation were 40,000 which were observed to be decreased from year after year from 2017-2020 but cases of squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma were observed to be increased with a rate of 100 patients per year. Their median age was recorded to be 52 years. Mortality associated with cause and without cause were dependent upon few variables including race, gender, diagnosis year, stage and grade of disease, ratio of nodes, size of tumor, radiotherapy and hysterectomy. Significance has been observed in the histological types (p = 0.003). Practical Implication: This study will be helpful for the oncologists, physicians and researchers in order to decide the best approach in terms of histopathology studies in the diagnosis of cervical cancer patients. It will help the community by carrying out a proper screening protocol for all the patients in order to prevent the patient from serious conditions. Conclusion: Study concluded that the chances of developing adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are dependent upon the rate of poor survival. A large number of adenocarcinoma cases suggests that there is poor screening of the people reporting any signs and symptoms. Therefore, it is suggested to properly screen the women on a regular basis and specially those who report any of the symptoms associated with cervical cancer. Keywords: Cervical cancer, carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, histopathology, histological types.

Introduction: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the commonest issues in perimenopausal age group. The proportion is 9-30% in reproductive age group. This extent rises to 70% in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women’s. Irregular uterine dying (AUB) warrants an intensive assessment in perimenopausal females and subsequently it’s vital to perform it in a cost-effective way with available resources. Objective: To compare the efficacy of Hysteroscopic guided biopsy and endometrial cytology To find out the efficacy of endometrial cytology in detecting different normal and abnormal endometrial patterns Study design & Settings: It is a prospective comparative study conducted at Social Security Hospital, Multan Road, Lahore included patients 30 years and above with the chief complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding. Study Duration: 01 year January 2020 to December 2020 Sample: 100 patients Inclusion Exclusion Criteria: Females having symptoms of abnormal uterine bleeding and age above than 30 years are included in the study. The females who are pregnant and having infection or malignancy are excluded from the research Results: This Planned comparative hospital-based study was done in one hundred patients with abnormal uterine bleeding taken after the informed consent, inclusion and exclusion criteria. Endometrial thickness was assessed and all cases with <5 mm thickness will be avoided from the study. Mean age of the patient was found 45 and standard deviation 7.43. Practical implication Conclusion: To get the endometrial sample by pipelle technique is a safe procedure. It has high specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive values when compared to hysteroscopy. In this way, to obtain adequate endometrial sample, Pipelle biopsy should be considered as important way of investigation. Keywords: Abnormal uterine bleeding, Pipelle, Endometerial sampling, FIGO

Published: January 2023

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the reproductive and metabolic abnormality of females characterized by delayed folliculogenesis, hyperandrogenism, and multiple ovarian cysts, associated with an increased risk of infertility, abortion and endometrial cancer. Objectives: Therefore, the effects of estrogen receptors on PCOS incidence were investigated through quantification of ER-α and ER-β mRNAs expressions via RT-PCR. Study Design: This cross-sectional study was executed at Mayo Hospital Lahore, from January-2021 to September-2022, including 320 participants. Methods: 180 females enrolled in this study were diagnosed with PCOS. ER-α and ER-β were isolated and amplified separately on RT-PCR for their quantification. Results: It was found that expression of tER-α mRNA did not differ between size-matched normal and PCOS follicles, and the concentration of both types of nitrogenous bases, GC and TC, was equivalent. Yet, ER-β mRNA expression was substantially higher in TC (p<0.05) than in GC. Conclusion: It was concluded that PCOS is the major cause of infertility among Pakistani women. It is mostly curable if identified accurately. Established on ER and haplotype data, genetic coding for ER-α and ER-β mRNA are good markers for determination of the association of estrogen receptors with PCOS. Keywords: Endocrine disorder; Estrogen receptors; Genetic coding; Infertility.

Published: January 2023

Quality refers to the extent of superiority or excellence of something when compared with other things of similar characteristics1. During this era of quality enhancement, more and more emphasis is now being given to raise the standards of providing quality services in health care1. One possible way of ascertaining high quality service provision is by “measuring” the quality of services being provided, as this will help to identify either good or bad providers of services that is the health care practitioners2. This has gained much importance globally and a lot of work has been done by the researchers and stakeholders to measure and to standardize the quality of health care services2.

Authors: Çaksen Hüseyin
Published: January 2023

The death of a child is a traumatic family life event. Although parental bereavement has received substantial attention, little research has focused on the grief experiences of bereaved grandparents1. Pediatric palliative care focuses mainly on the children suffering from a life-limiting disease, but always includes parents and siblings. However, grandparents are also often highly involved in caring for the child and require additional attention2. Herein, we present religious coping in bereaved grandparents who lost their grandchildren to attract the attention of health professionals to bereaved grandparents.

Bu araştırma, kadın voleybolcularda bilinçli farkındalık ile yarışma kaygısı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Türkiye’deki çeşitli illerde Sultanlar Ligi’nden 36 sporcu, Kadınlar 1. Ligi’nden 87 sporcu olmak üzere toplamda 123 kadın voleybolcu (Ortyaş= 24.38±5.03) Sporcu Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği ve Sporda Yarışma Kaygısı Ölçeği - Yetişkin Formu’na çevrimiçi ortamda gönüllü olarak yanıt vermişlerdir. İstatistiksel analizde SPSS 23 kullanılmıştır. Veriler, normallik sınaması sonrasında Pearson korelasyonu ve çoklu lineer regresyon yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; kadın voleybolcularda bilinçli farkındalık ve yarışma kaygısı arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, bilinçli farkındalığın yarışma kaygısının negatif yönde anlamlı bir yordayıcısı olduğu ve “farkındalık, yargılamama ve yeniden odaklanma” alt boyutlarıyla birlikte yarışma kaygısının %15’ini açıkladığı görülmüştür. Kesitsel desende tasarlanmış olan bu araştırmada nedensel bir çıkarımda bulunmak mümkün olmasa da mevcut araştırma grubunda bilinçli farkındalık, yarışma kaygısı için etkili bir yol olabilir. Bu olasılığı test etmek için daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

Published: January 2023

The study aimed to analyze the Observational Collective Efficacy Scale for Sport (OCESS). 242 Turkish athletes and 85 Turkish coaches participated in the study. After performing the first step for the language validity of the scale by using the translation-back translation method, it was sent to the athletes as an online form. Athletes responded to the items voluntarily. KMO and Bartlett’s test of sphericity values were calculated to determine whether the data was proper for factor analysis. The initial factor structure of the scale was tested with CFA. While the Pearson correlation test was used for criterion-related validity, the internal consistency coefficient was calculated with Cronbach’s alpha. While KMO was found to be 0.84, Bartlett’s test of sphericity was statistically significant. The item factor loadings ranged between 0.64 and 0.88. In sum, the Turkish version of the OCESS presents acceptable psychometric properties and may be used to assess athletes’ collective efficacy beliefs in team sports repeatedly.

Bu çalışmada, instabilite cihazlarında ve sabit zeminde yapılan şınav egzersizi sırasında Pectoralis Majör (PM), Antreior Deltoid (AD) ve Triceps Brachii (TB) kaslarının elektromiyografik aktivasyonlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. 18-25 yaş aralığında 25 katılımcı, sabit bir yüzey, her iki taraf da kullanılan top (BOSU), Pilates topu ve Fonksiyonel egzersiz bandı (TRX) üzerinde çapraz geçişli deney tasarımında şınav egzersizi uyguladı. Katılımcılar 2 saniye iniş, 2 saniye çıkış fazı olmak üzere 3 tekrardan oluşan şınav hareketini sırasıyla 4 zeminde uyguladı. Egzersiz sırasında PM, AD ve TB kaslarının amplitüdünü belirlemek için yüzey elektromiyografisi (sEMG) kullanıldı. sEMG genliği, kasların izometrik kasılmaları sırasında en yüksek tepe tork değerini veren maksimum istemli kasılma (MİK) yöntemi kullanılarak normalleştirildi. PM kasında TRX’te sabit zemin ve BOSU’ya göre önemli ölçüde daha yüksek normalize sEMG amplitüdü (%MİK) değerleri tespit edildi. AD kasında Pilates topunda diğer zeminlere göre önemli ölçüde daha düşük %MİK değerleri tespit edildi. TB kasında sabit yüzey ve BOSU’ya kıyasla TRX ve Pilates topunda önemli ölçüde daha yüksek %MİK değerleri tespit edilirken BOSU’da sabit zemine göre daha yüksek değerler tespit edildi. TRX’te şınav PM, AD, TB kasları için daha fazla zorluk isteyen antrenörler için iyi bir seçenek olabilirken; AD kası için şınav egzersizinde pilates topunu tercih etmek doğru olmayabilir.

Published: January 2023

Sportif performansın önemli göstergelerinden biri, sporcuların müsabaka sürecindeki zihinsel durumu ile açıklanabilir. Sporcuların geçmişte yaşamış oldukları olumsuz tecrübelerin etkisiyle oluşturulan olumsuz düşünceler, sporcunun istenilen performans seviyesinin çok altında kalınmasına yol açabilmektedir. Ruminasyon olarak tanımlanan bu olumsuz düşüncelerle başa çıkabilmek, tespit edip üstesinden gelmek ile mümkün olabilir. Spor bilimleri alanyazında spor ortamında ruminasyonu ölçmeye yarayan bir ölçüm aracının bulunmaması nedeniyle spor müsabakası ruminasyon ölçeğinin Türkçeye uyarlanması, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılması, bu çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu araştırmaya bireysel ve takım sporcusu olmak üzere toplam 150 sporcu katılmıştır. Araştırmada ölçeğin geçerlik analizleri için dil geçerliği, yapı geçerliği, kapsam geçerliği ve ıraksak ve yakınsak geçerlik işlemleri uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenirliği için Cronbach alpha, composite reliability coefficient, guttman split-half ve madde analizi işlemlernden madde ayrıcılık indeksi ve madde toplam korelasyonu işlemleri yapılmıştır. Buna göre, ölçeğin geçerli ve güvenilir bir yapıda olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Türk kültürüne uyarlaması yapılan spor müsabakası ruminasyon ölçeğinin geçerlik ve güvenirlik işlemlerinin yapılmasının ardından özellikle, müsabaka sürecinde olan sporcuların performansları üzerinde önemli olduğu düşünülen ruminatif düşünceleri ölçmek için uygun nitelikte olduğu söylenebilir.

The production or processing of crude oil at PPSDM Migas Cepu using an atmospheric distillation system, which is a method of separating petroleum fractions based on differences in the boiling points of each fraction under atmospheric conditions. Oil processing at PPSDM Migas Cepu first raises the temperature by using a Heat Exchanger and Furnace to obtain the desired feed temperature or temperature. Furnace is heating equipment for processing petroleum which requires the largest operational costs in its processing business. Furnace-02 at the Refinery Unit at PPSDM Migas Cepu is more than 100 years old, and is still operating today. In petroleum processing, the furnace is very important because the furnace is a heat exchanger, which functions to raise the temperature of the petroleum before it is separated in the fractionation column. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency value of furnace-02 from calculations using the heat loss method. Furnace efficiency calculations must be carried out periodically in order to determine furnace performance so as to avoid long-term damage that can lead to maintenance. If the feed that enters the furnace is not in accordance with the specifications, it can burden the furnace's performance. From the results of calculations using the heat loss method, the performance of the furnace-02 at PPSDM Migas Cepu is 86.16%.
