Authors: Lama Maya , Sigdel Rohini , Gurung Sanish , Bogati Krishna , Ranjit Bibek
Published: April 2019

Background: Monitored anaesthesia care is a specific anaesthesia service for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures performed under local anaesthesia along with sedation and analgesia titrated to a level with the provision to convert into general anaesthesia when required. We conducted a retrospective study to determine patient satisfaction in middle ear surgery under monitored anaesthesia care.

Materials and Methods: The number of patients undergoing middle ear surgery under monitored anaesthesia care, over a period of one year were included. They received sedation with midazolam 0.02 mg/kg and fentanyl 1 mcg/kg along with local anaesthetic infiltration. Patient’s satisfaction was measured using a five point Likert scale. Intraoperative pain, nausea, vomiting and other discomforts were inquired.

Results: The total number of patients was 64. Fifty-one patients (79.7%) were satisfied, 10 were neutral (15.6%) and 3 patients (4.7%) were dissatisfied with the technique. Earache (4.7%), followed by dizziness (3.1%) and bodyache (3.1%) were the most common cause of discomfort. Nausea occurred in 6 patients (9.4%) and vomiting in 5 patients (7.8%).

Conclusion: Middle ear surgeries can be performed under monitored anaesthesia care with good patient satisfaction.

Published: April 2019

Background: Several methods have been used to prevent post spinal hypotension including preloading, co-loading, use of vasopressors, placement of pelvic wedge, lumbar wedge and tilting of operating table in parturients undergoing cesarean section. We conducted a randomized controlled study to determine the hemodynamic effects of a standard pelvic wedge placed below the right hip immediately after the spinal block till the delivery of baby.

Methods: One hundred consenting women undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated to wedge group (N=50) and control group (N=50). A standard wedge was placed under the right pelvis soon after spinal anesthesia till the delivery of baby in wedge group whereas the control group remained supine. Hemodynamic parameters including blood pressure, heart rate, vasopressor consumption, other side effects like nausea, vomiting and neonatal outcome were also recorded.

Results: The incidence of hypotension and bradycardia was similar between groups (Wedge group 60% vs Control group 75.51%, p=0.125) before the birth of baby. The use of vasopressors (p=0.212), incidence of nausea (p=0.346) and Apgar score at 1 and 5 minutes (p=0.629, p=0.442) were also not statistically significant. None of the patients had vomiting.

Conclusion: In our study, the use of right pelvic wedge immediately after spinal anesthesia was not effective in preventing post spinal hypotension in elective cesarean section.

Authors: Thapa Buddhi Bahadur , Tiwari Madhav , Gurung Sailesh , Gurung Man Bahadur , Kalauni Mukunda , Bhatta Bhup Dev
Published: April 2019

Background: Sub-clinical hypothyroidism (SCH), overt hypothyroidism and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are recognized risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM- II).Thyroid function affects MetS parameters including blood pressure (BP), fasting blood sugar (FBS), serum triglycerides (TG) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). But the relationship between MetS and thyroid functions is yet to be identified clearly. The present study is to investigate the frequency of MetS in patients of SCH and overt hypothyroidism.

Materials and Methods: A hospital based cross–sectional study was conducted at Swastik referral laboratory and research centre. In this study, 50 patients with overt hypothyroidism, 50 patients with SCH and 129 euthyroid controls were enrolled. National Cholesterol Education Program- Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III; 2005) revision criteria were used to diagnose metabolic syndrome. Thyroid function test (TFT: FT3, FT4 and TSH) was done by using chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) and other tests by using a semi-auto analyzer. ANalysis Of VAriance (ANOVA) test was performed using SPSS (version 16.0).

Result: There was a significant difference in the mean of the waist circumference (p=0.031), BP systolic (p=0.010), BP diastolic (p<0.001)), FBS (p=0.001), serum HDL-C (p=0.031) and serum TG (p=0.003) between control, subclinical and overt hypothyroidism group (p<0.001). Prevalence of MetS was 25.6 % in euthyroid controls whereas 44.0% in the SCH group and 62.0% in the overt hypothyroid group (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Thyroid dysfunction may be responsible for the development of metabolic syndrome.

Published: April 2019

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common anemia worldwide. It adversely affects the physical growth, cognition, behavior and the immune status of infants and children. There are limited number of studies in Nepal analyzing its prevalence, risk factors and diagnosis in pediatric population. Restriction of analgesics intake, increased intake of iron rich food and deworming are important determinants in the disease management.

Methods: Hospital based prospective comparative study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics in Manipal Teaching Hospital from December 2014 to December 2016 enrolling all children aged 6 months to 5 years with anemia. Demographic profile, clinical features and information regarding risk factors were noted along with detailed physical examination. Iron profile was done to confirm diagnosis of IDA. Data was analyzed using SPSS 21.

Results: Out of 168 anemic children, 110 (65.45%) children were diagnosed as IDA. Dietary factors, pica and intake of analgesics/antipyretics were major risk factors. Serum iron, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation were low whereas total iron binding capacity was high in IDA.

Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia is a common, preventable and easily treatable disease which has potentially serious consequences if not treated. Non compliance to exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months of life, introduction of cow’s/buffalo’s milk in the first year, pica and rampant use of analgesics/antipyretics are major risk factors.

Authors: Banstola Laxman , Sharma Swasti , Gautam Bijaya
Published: April 2019

Background: Head and neck swelling is a frequently encountered complaint in the outpatient department. A wide plethora of conditions give rise to head and neck lumps. Sometimes the diagnosis of these lesions is apparent from the site and associated features, while at other times the cause for mass in this region can be confusing. Fine needle aspiration cytology has emerged as a reliable tool for clinching the diagnosis in head and neck swellings.

Methods and Materials: A retrospective study was conducted in the department of Pathology, Pokhara Academy of Health Sciences, Western Regional Hospital, Pokhara. Details of diagnosed cases of HN swellings from the period of November 2015 to February 2018 were obtained from recorded data. Descriptive statistics was applied from the data collected for analysis.

Results: Out of total 456 patients included from a period of 28 months, female patients outnumbered male patients by 1.5 times. The most common age group of presentation for head and neck swellings was observed to be 20-29 years, with 93 patients which comprised of 20.39% of total. Highest incidence was that of lymph node swellings (55.04%) followed by thyroid swellings (21.49%).

Conclusion: Lymph node pathology was determined to be the commonest cause for head and neck mass. FNAC is a reliable and inexpensive means in investigating such lesions, which provides immense help in treatment of patients.

Is Urine dipstick as accurate as 24 hour urine protein? A Comparative Study
Authors: Adhikari Rajesh , Sharma Gir Dhari , Dhungana Padma Raj , Adhikari Kalpana Gautam
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Hypertensive disorder in pregnancy (HDP) is one of the most common medical complications affecting approximately 5-10% of pregnancies. It remains a major cause of maternal/perinatal mortality and morbidity. Proteinuria is a sign of preeclampsia where there is >300 mg of protein in 24 hour urine collection. This usually correlates with 30mg/dl or 1+ reading in a random urine specimen. The main objective of this study is to find out whether urine dipstick correlates with 24 hour urine protein.

Methodology: This is a hospital based comparative study, where proteinuria by dipstick method was compared with 24 hour urinary protein in 60 cases of pre eclampsia at Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Thapathali, Kathmandu.

Results: The dipstick method of detecting proteinuria significantly correlated with the total 24 hour urine protein excretion by Esbach Albuminometer. A dipstick factor of ≥300mg/24 hour indicates proteinuria with sensitivity of 97.5%, specificity of 65%, positive predictive value of 84.78% and negative predictive value of 92.85%. 3+ value in dipstick had high significance with 24 hour urine protein by Esbach’s Albuminometer (R=0.983 ). The cost of dipstick was Nepalies Rs (NPR) 14 in comparison to 24 hour dipstick which cost NPR 80.Time needed to get report was immediate in case of dipstick but takes 48-50 hour in case of 24 hour urine protein.

Conclusion: Timely collection of six hourly urine for detection of proteinuria by dipstick is comparable to 24 hour urinary protein determination in laboratory by Esbach Albuminometer, which is more time consuming and expensive.

Authors: Gadelha Bárbara de Queiroz , Guimarães Raphael Mendonça
Published: April 2019

Introdução: A satisfação dos pacientes é fundamental para aferir a qualidade dos serviços prestados. Para fomentar essas informações, foi criado o questionário IN-PATSAT 32 pela European Organisation for Research  and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC ). Objetivo: Realizar a adaptação transcultural e a avaliação psicométrica do questionário IN-PATSAT 32. Método: O instrumento foi traduzido e, após aprovação por painel de especialistas, aplicado a 328 pacientes de enfermarias clínicas e cirúrgicas, e o reteste realizado com 86 pacientes. Foram utilizados o coeficiente a de Cronbach (a) e o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) para análise da consistência interna; e o kappa ponderado para confiabilidade teste-reteste. Resultados: O questionário adaptado apresentou boa confiabilidade, e o CCI indicou forte validade convergente (CCI>8) e propriedade discriminante do instrumento. Foi verificada alta consistência interna (a>0,8). A análise fatorial exploratória dividiu o questionário em cinco dimensões: Satisfação com equipe multiprofissional, médicos, conduta terapêutica, estrutura hospitalar e alta. Houve maior nível de satisfação com a equipe multiprofissional entre os pacientes com menor grau de escolaridade (p=0,014) e com mais de 40 anos (p=0,012). A maior satisfação com os médicos foi entre brancos (p=0,027) e pacientes cirúrgicos (p=0,03). Pacientes casados foram os mais satisfeitos com a conduta terapêutica (p=0,038); homens (p<0,01) e idosos (p=0,011) foram os mais satisfeitos com a estrutura hospitalar; e brancos mais satisfeitos com a alta (p=0,016). Conclusão: O instrumento EORTC IN-PATSAT 32 foi adaptado, e a sua avaliação psicométrica demonstrou que ele se encontra com estrutura adequada à utilização no contexto brasileiro. É imprescindível que sejam desenvolvidos outros estudos para conhecer as variáveis relacionadas com o nível de satisfação dos pacientes, bem como melhorar as condições de atendimento ao paciente internado.

O CÓDICE COMMENTARIUM IN APOCALIPSIN (1047 E SUA CARACTERÍSTICA LINGUÍSTICO-CULTURAL
Authors: Lima Carolina Akie Ochiai Seixas
Published: April 2019

Pretendemos, com este artigo, demonstrar a característica linguístico-cultural do códice Commentarium in Apocalipsin (1047). Ao interpretamos a encomenda do referido códice como um forte instrumento de poder e persuasão usado por Fernando I e D. Sancha, reis de Leão e Castela (1037-1065), apontaremos como esse poder persuasivo do qual se reveste o códice e do qual se apoderam o rei e sua rainha estava ligado ao ideal expresso pelo texto bíblico do Apocalipse.Sobre a escrita, temos o conteúdo textual do códice em latim que é a língua da Igreja e das escrituras sagradas, na Idade Média. Segundo Bassetto (2001), o latim eclesiástico caracteriza-se como herdeiro do literário no que ele tinha de mais útil ou necessário para a expressão da nova mentalidade cristã, com fonética e estrutura um tanto diversa da língua literária antiga, além de enriquecida pela contribuição grega e popular.O conteúdo literal dos fólios nos leva à interpretação de que o Anticristo, ou seja, os infiéis, devem ser combatidos. As iluminuras representam com seu forte simbolismo linguístico e imagético o sentido político da encomenda do códice pelos reis de Leão e Castela.Palavras-chave:códice; exercício de poder; Apocalipse.

Um dos centros de atenção da sociedade moderna se assenta no fato de a reputação ser estabelecida e regulada publicamente pela opinião seleta da vizinhança (SHOEMAKER, 2000). O bom nome e a fama são fatores primordiais que se levantam na tipologia processual com a qual estamos trabalhando. O objetivo desse trabalho é apresentar a edição semidiplomática de um processo-crime de ofensa verbal demandado no ano de 1876, no município de Estância, Sergipe. A fonte remanescente faz parte do acervo histórico do Arquivo do Poder Judiciário de Sergipe. Além da edição, apontamos para os itens lexicais usados como ofensa verbal, o que retrata uma das formas de violência da província oitocentista de Sergipe. Nossa abordagem está ancorada na Lexicologia Social (MATORÉ, 1973). Com esse trabalho, esperamos dar nossa contribuição para o entendimento do funcionamento da língua portuguesa no Sergipe oitocentista (MARENGO, 2017).

Neste trabalho temos como objetivo demonstrar como a religião influencia na nomeação das ruas do bairro Jardim Sucupira, em Feira de Santana-Ba. Tais topônimos sofrem um processo de substituição hipoteticamente motivada pela opressão às religiões de matrizes africanas, visto que os nomes das ruas em questão são de origem iorubá e fazem parte do léxico utilizado no candomblé. Nesse contexto abordaremos o negro na sociedade feirense, assim como toda forma de exclusão dos elementos afro-brasileiros desse povo tão plural de Feira, porém conscientemente excludente. Para o desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa utilizamos os topônimos africanos rua Oxumaré e rua Xangô substituídos respectivamente pelos nomes rua Rosa de Sarom e rua São Lucas, os primeiros representam dois nomes relacionados à religião africana e os últimos à religião judaico-cristão, apresentados por meio daficha lexicográfico-toponímica adotada e adaptada do modelo de Dick (1990), no intuito de demonstrar a oposição de religiões latente na substituição toponímica. Logo, utilizamos os pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos da toponímia postulados por Dick (1990) para abordar as questões das transformações e substituições toponímicas, assim como recorremos a teóricos como Castro (2005) e Macedo (2006) para tratar das religiões africanas e cristãs na Bahia e em Feira de Santana, especificamente, assim como tratar da sociedade afro feirense.  Consideramos que as influências religiosas de interferem fundamentalmente na língua de um povo e se configuram como indispensáveis para as substituições toponímicas do referidobairro.Palavras-Chave: Topônimos afro-brasileiros.

Focused on the lane occupancy phenomenon, this paper analyzes the roads during two different accidents to the evacuation period. Firstly, according to the statistical data, this paper calculated the correction coefficients under the road traffic condition, and then obtained the actual traffic capacity result at each moment of the road when combining the function model of the actual traffic capacity corrected by the running speed and the road traffic condition. Next the actual traffic capacity results are fitted to the Smooth spline interpolation, and then the actual traffic capacity is further verified by the traffic congestion situation. The actual traffic capacity of the road during the accident to evacuation is summarized as follows: the actual traffic capacity shows a nonlinear trend, that is, ascending-attenuating-recovering and gradually stabilizing. Finally, using Mann-Whitney U test to carry out the difference test on the actual traffic capacity, it is found that there is significant difference between the two groups of data, and the actual traffic capacity of the second case is stronger than that of the first one, and the reasons for the difference are analyzed as follows: the ratio of the steering traffic volume at the downstream intersection is different; this road section includes the community intersection and there are vehicles entering and leaving; meanwhile the speed of each lane is different and there are buildings near the lane. The above conclusions will provide theoretical basis for the traffic management department to correctly guide the vehicle driving, approve the road construction, design the road channelization plan, set the roadside parking space and the non-port-type bus stations.

The introduction of liquidity ratios on the banking sector and the real economywill lead to adaptation of the banks. Mismatch between the maturity of assets andliabilities will be subject to reduction. These shifts in the banks’ balance sheetsmay result in diminishing profitability of banks as long as the cost of maintainingadditional capital and balance sheet structure changes will not be passed on to customers. Another consequence may be an impediment to access of nonfinancialentities to long-term financing. Thus, increased cost of credit and reductionof its availability in the short term will have negative impact on economicgrowth while introduction of liquidity standards and new capital requirementssignificantly reduces the probability of a banking crisis, which compensates forinterim and slight decrease in the growth rate.

Authors: Karwowski Jacek
Published: April 2019

The paper focuses on central counterparties (CCPs) becoming the buyer to everyseller and the seller to every buyer and thereby ensuring the performance of opencontracts. The role of CCPs increased considerably after outbreak of the crisisin 2008.In 2012 BIS and IOSCO published the Principles for financial market (post-trade)infrastructures. The aim of the paper is to find out whether, and if yes – to whatextent, the mentioned principles have to be modified when applied to CCP servingIslamic financial institutions. It seems that all principles are appropriate forIslamic finance, however some of them should be modified in order to be Shariacompliant.Moreover, in some cases the modification might also be difficult dueto lack of standardized instruments.

Prokuratura Europejska - czy stanie się faktem?
Authors: Grzelak Agnieszka
Published: April 2019

The idea of the European Public Prosecutor dates from the 1990 s. Since then, the work on the creation of the foundations of the European Penal Code is associated with the necessity to strengthen the protection of the financial interests of the European Union, in particular the need to combat offences against those interests. Initially the Code seemed to be a purely theoretical concept that cannot be implemented into the EU legislative action because of the existing rules of conferral of powers and the lack of a legal basis for the establishment of such an office. However, with the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon the situation has changed, particularly with the addition of the Article 86 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). As a result, the European Commission presented in July 2013 a draft regulation which should serve as a basis for establishment of the European Prosecutor Office [COM(2013) 534 final]. The aim of this paper is to present and briefly analyse major provisions of the proposed regulation, as well as objections submitted by national parliaments and doctrine, and finally the prospects of further work on the project. The discussion has not been yet completed because the draft has not been formally adopted yet and probably in the proposed form will not be accepted by all Member States, which will result in the implementation of the enhanced cooperation procedure.

The paper investigated gender difference and practice of environmental friendliness (PEF) among senior secondary school (SSS) students in Benin Metropolis, Nigeria. The sampling population comprised 480 SSS1 students from twenty-four (24) public and private schools in Benin Metropolis. The data was analyzed using percentage, independent t-test and the Ordinary Least Square (OLS). Besides the male students were found to engage in more environmental unfriendly practices than the female students. The findings from the independent t-test showed significant gender differences in four PEFs with regard to: use of waste bins, urinating around school buildings, writing and pasting posters on the walls and bush burning. The OLS results showed that gender, school administration environmental knowledge and attitude had significantly negative impact on PEF Moreover, whereas the interaction of gender on environmental knowledge has significant and positive impact on PEF, the interaction of gender with environmental attitude has significantly negative association on PEF. Therefore, the paper has implication in the redesign of the school curriculum to address students’ environment and sustainability issues as well as the introduction of affective based teaching methods to help correct the negative students’ attitude/behaviour.

Charles Williams and T.S. Eliot: Friends and Rivals
Authors: Barber Stephen
Published: April 2019

Williams and Eliot were close in age and both worked in publishing as well having careers as poets and freelance writers. However, their backgrounds were very different: Williams came from humble origins and was not able to complete a university degree, whereas Eliot at first seemed to set to become an academic philosopher. They first met in the early 1930s, by which time Williams had been both confused and influenced by The Waste Land. Eliot started to read Williams's novels and was in turn greatly influenced by them. They became increasingly close until Williams's death in 1945. Eliot showed the greatest influence of Williams in his 1949 play The Cocktail Party. Their Christian sensibility had some important features in common and, in the end, Williams's concept of the Affirmative Way became a great influence on Eliot.

Semi-Minimal Pruned Hedge: A Potential Climate Change Adaptation Strategy in Viticulture

Published: April 2019

The low-input viticultural training system ‘Semi-minimal pruned hedge’ (SMPH) is progressively being more widely applied in the Central European grapegrowing regions. The present study examined the influence of (i) the training system (SMPH versus the vertical shoot position (VSP) system), (ii) the timing of shoot topping in SMPH, and (iii) the effects of mechanical thinning in SMPH on the bunch rot epidemic, grape maturity, and yield. Six-year field trials on Pinot blanc in Luxembourg demonstrated that yield levels in non-thinned SMPH treatments were 74% higher, and total soluble solids (TSS) at harvest 2.2 brix lower than in VSP. Non-thinned SMPH delayed the bunch rot epidemic and the maturity progress by 18 and 11 days compared to VSP, respectively. Different shoot-topping timings in SMPH did not affect the tested parameters. Mechanical thinning regimes reduced the yield by 28% (moderate thinning) and 53% (severe thinning) compared to non-thinned SMPH and increased TSS by 0.8 and 1.3 brix, respectively. Delayed bunch rot epidemic and maturity progress give rise to the opportunity for a longer maturity period in cooler conditions, making this system of particular interest in future, warmer climatic conditions. Providing that yield levels are managed properly, SMPH might represent an interesting climate change adaptation strategy.
