OBJECTIVE

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major focus of patient safety indicators and a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Many practices have employed lower-extremity screening ultrasonography in addition to chemoprophylaxis and the use of sequential compression devices in an effort to reduce poor outcomes. However, the role of screening in directly decreasing pulmonary emboli (PEs) and mortality is unclear. At the University of Mississippi Medical Center, a policy change provided the opportunity to compare independent groups: patients treated under a prior paradigm of weekly screening ultrasonography versus a post–policy change group in which weekly surveillance was no longer performed.

METHODS

A total of 2532 consecutive cases were reviewed, with a 4-month washout period around the time of the policy change. Criteria for inclusion were admission to the neurosurgical service or consultation for ≥ 72 hours and hospitalization for ≥ 72 hours. Patients with a known diagnosis of DVT on admission or previous inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement were excluded. The primary outcome examined was the rate of PE diagnosis, with secondary outcomes of all-cause mortality at discharge, DVT diagnosis rate, and IVC filter placement rate. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant.

RESULTS

A total of 485 patients met the criteria for the pre–policy change group and 504 for the post–policy change group. Data are presented as screening (pre–policy change) versus no screening (post–policy change). There was no difference in the PE rate (2% in both groups, p = 0.72) or all-cause mortality at discharge (7% vs 6%, p = 0.49). There were significant differences in the lower-extremity DVT rate (10% vs 3%, p < 0.01) or IVC filter rate (6% vs 2%, p < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS

Based on these data, screening Doppler ultrasound examinations, in conjunction with standard-of-practice techniques to prevent thromboembolism, do not appear to confer a benefit to patients. While the screening group had significantly higher rates of DVT diagnosis and IVC filter placement, the screening, additional diagnoses, and subsequent interventions did not appear to improve patient outcomes. Ultimately, this makes DVT screening difficult to justify.
Effect of elevation of vascular endothelial growth factor level on exacerbation of hemorrhage in mouse brain arteriovenous malformation

OBJECTIVE

A high level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been implicated in brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) bleeding and rupture. However, direct evidence is missing. In this study the authors used a mouse bAVM model to test the hypothesis that elevation of focal VEGF levels in bAVMs exacerbates the severity of bAVM hemorrhage.

METHODS

Brain AVMs were induced in adult mice in which activin receptor–like kinase 1 (Alk1, a gene that causes AVM) gene exons 4–6 were floxed by intrabasal ganglia injection of an adenoviral vector expressing Cre recombinase to induce Alk1 mutation and an adeno-associated viral vector expressing human VEGF (AAV-VEGF) to induce angiogenesis. Two doses of AAV-VEGF (5 × 109 [high] or 2 × 109 [low]) viral genomes were used. In addition, the common carotid artery and external jugular vein were anastomosed in a group of mice treated with low-dose AAV-VEGF 6 weeks after the model induction to induce cerebral venous hypertension (VH), because VH increases the VEGF level in the brain. Brain samples were collected 8 weeks after the model induction. Hemorrhages in the bAVM lesions were quantified on brain sections stained with Prussian blue, which detects iron deposition. VEGF levels were quantified in bAVM tissue by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

RESULTS

Compared to mice injected with a low dose of AAV-VEGF, the mice injected with a high dose had higher levels of VEGF (p = 0.003) and larger Prussian blue–positive areas in the bAVM lesion at 8 or 9 weeks after model induction (p = 0.002). VH increased bAVM hemorrhage in the low-dose AAV-VEGF group. The overall mortality in the high-dose AAV-VEGF group was 26.7%, whereas no mouse died in the low-dose AAV-VEGF group without VH. In contrast, VH caused a mortality of 50% in the low-dose AAV-VEGF group.

CONCLUSIONS

Using mouse bAVM models, the authors provided direct evidence that elevation of the VEGF level increases bAVM hemorrhage and mouse mortality.

Published: April 2019

A 52-year-old man with a 10-year history of treatment-resistant asthma presented with repeated exacerbations over the course of 10 months. His symptoms were not responsive to salbutamol or inhaled corticosteroid agents, and he developed avascular necrosis of his left hip as a result of prolonged steroid therapy. Physical examination and radiography revealed signs consistent with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), including a C7–T1 osteophyte causing severe tracheal compression. The patient underwent C6–T1 anterior discectomy and fusion, and the compressive osteophyte was removed, which completely resolved his “asthma.” Postoperative pulmonary function tests showed normalization of his FEV1/FVC ratio, and there was no airway reactivity on methacholine challenge. DISH is a systemic, noninflammatory condition characterized by ossification of spinal entheses, and it can present with respiratory disturbances due to airway compression by anterior cervical osteophytes. The authors present, to the best of their knowledge, the first documented case of asthma as a presentation of DISH.

Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE

Little is known about the risk factors for postoperative subaxial cervical kyphosis following craniovertebral junction (CVJ) fixation. The object of this study was to evaluate postoperative changes in cervical alignment and to identify the risk factors for postoperative kyphotic change in the subaxial cervical spine after CVJ fixation.

METHODS

One hundred fifteen patients were retrospectively analyzed for postoperative subaxial kyphosis after CVJ fixation. Relations between subaxial kyphosis and radiological risk factors, including segmental angles and ranges of motion (ROMs) at C0–1, C1–2, and C2–7, and clinical factors, such as age, sex, etiology, occipital fixation, extensor muscle resection at C2, additional C1–2 posterior wiring, and subaxial laminoplasty, were investigated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the risk factors for postoperative kyphotic changes in the subaxial cervical spine.

RESULTS

The C2–7 angle change was more than −10° in 30 (26.1%) of the 115 patients. Risk factor analysis showed CVJ fixation combined with subaxial laminoplasty (OR 9.336, 95% CI 1.484–58.734, p = 0.017) and a small ROM at the C0–1 segment (OR 0.836, 95% CI 0.757–0.923, p < 0.01) were related to postoperative subaxial kyphotic change. On the other hand, age, sex, resection of the C2 extensor muscle, rheumatoid arthritis, additional C1–2 posterior wiring, and postoperative segmental angles were not risk factors for postoperative subaxial kyphosis

CONCLUSIONS

Subaxial alignment change is not uncommon after CVJ fixation. Muscle detachment at the C2 spinous process was not a risk factor of kyphotic change. The study findings suggest that a small ROM at the C0–1 segment with or without occipital fixation and combined subaxial laminoplasty are risk factors for subaxial kyphotic change.

The antiterrorist operation, which has been lasting in eastern Ukraine for 5 years, is stealing thousands of human lives, and those, who are lucky to survive, in many cases, have become disabled. The assessment of disability group (disability severity) corresponds to the clause 19 of the Article 6 of the Law of Ukraine “On the status of war veterans and guarantees of their social protection”. The aim of this study was to analyze the dynamics of the primary disability among participants of anti-terrorist operation. Analysis of the primary disability prevalence in the Poltava region for 2015-2018 was based on the data provided by the Centre of Medical and Social Expert Commission of Poltava region and registered in the form 14 “Report on the causes of disability, indications for medical, occupational and social rehabilitation for 20__ year” approved by the Order of the Ministry of Public Health of Ukraine No. 378, 10.07.2007. We applied the analysis of the dynamic series and the odds ratio. The study revealed a significant increase in the number of anti-terrorist operation participants examined at the medical and social expert commission. The number of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who got a disability group increased by 198.5%. The number of servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine assigned a disability group increased by 600%. Inspected by the medical-social expert commission of military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Poltava region, no significant changes in these indicators were found. Thus, an increase in the number of disabilities among participants in the antiterrorist operation requires the development of a rehabilitation system provided through all the levels of medical care.

Published: April 2019

Today there is a growing tendency in the prevalence of diseases caused by herpes viruses. At the same time there is an increase in the incidence of infectious mononucleosis, and the Epstein-Barr virus is one of its causative agents. The level of Epstein-Barr virus infection among the adult population of Ukraine has reached almost 100%, and more than 50% among the children. Epstein-Barr virus is a respiratory infection, and can be transmitted through saliva. According to statistic data, 85% of children are carriers of this virus, but it manifests itself only when immunity weakens. In many children, infectious mononucleosis occurs as an acute respiratory viral infection or quinine, and often paediatricians do not diagnose it. Usually children under the age of 10-14 are susceptible to the disease. In a large number of children, the course of infectious mononucleosis is quite similar to an acute respiratory viral infection or quinsy, and often paediatricians do not diagnose it. Usually children under the age of 10-14 are susceptible to the disease. The disease is characterized by feverish condition, sore throat, exanthema, enlargement of the lymph nodes, liver and spleen. All children with infectious mononucleosis manifest signs of tonsillopharyngitis that develops due to the growing activity of the opportunistic bacterial microflora, which densely colonizes the oropharyngeal mucosa in the immunocompromized condition caused by a herpes viral infection. At present, infectious mononucleosis plays a significant role in the overall infectious morbidity in children and is one of the leading causes of children hospitalization. Analysis of the case histories in patients aged 1-3, 4-6, 7-10, 11-15 and over 15 years through 2014-2018 has shown that infectious mononucleosis was predominantly diagnosed in male patients (222 cases) versus 150 cases of in female patients. The highest incidence of infectious mononucleosis has been registered among the residents of Lviv (287 cases) compared with the inhabitants of the Lviv region (85 cases). Regarding the age aspect, it has been found that the overwhelming majority of patients who have been diagnosed with an infectious mononucleosis are children under the age of 3 years.

Published: April 2019

A large number of common etiological factors, among which there are frequent recurrent acute respiratory viral infections, are known to contribute to the development of dental caries. The aim of this study is to investigate the dynamics of the parameters of oral fluid viscosity and pH in children with recurrent acute respiratory viral infections in the course of preventive treatment. The study included 80 children divided into 4 groups of 20 people in each. The viscosity of the oral fluid was assessed by the method of T. L. Redinova. The oral fluid pH was evaluated using the universal indicator paper. The findings obtained were statistically processed by the Student's t-distribution, the results were considered reliable at p ≤ 0.05. The incidence rate of acute respiratory viral infections was determined by studying medical records and by questioning the parents. The effectiveness of therapeutic and preventive measures was assessed in 1 and 6 months after the first visit to dentist’s office. The parameters of oral fluid viscosity were within the normal range in all groups under the study. The children of groups 3 and 4, who were found to more often suffer from acute respiratory viral infections demonstrated that in 6 months following the completion of the preventive treatment we elaborated this value remained lower than during the first examination. The study of the oral fluid pH in the children of the examined groups showed its positive changes in all cases. During the second examination, an increase in the parameters ​​was observed in all the test groups, but these changes were significant in the 4 group of children (6.90 ± 0.05 units), who kept the complex of preventive measured we designed. During the 3rd check-up in 6 months, the result remained stable in the children of the 3rd and 4th test groups (6.79 ± 0.05 units and 6.87 ± 0.06 units, respectively). We can suggest that significant improvement in the values of oral fluid viscosity and pH in all the test groups is due to regular oral care and good oral hygiene, use of therapeutic and prophylactic means as well as additional hygiene products.

Development of public control of public service in Russia at the present stage
Authors: Parfenov K. V. , Sukora A. A.
Published: April 2019

A negative trend in power and public relations in Russiain the last year was the decline in public confidence in the authorities. One of the possible reasons for this is the dissatisfaction of citizens with the professional activities of civil servants, the distance of this institution from society. The public service is the main institution for the implementation of the functions of the state. Therefore, one of the important organizational tasks of public administration should be to ensure transparency and social acceptability of the activities of civil servants. Such a tool by its very nature is public control, but the Russian Federationhas not yet developed its legal framework and mechanisms, which determines the low efficiency of this institution of interaction between government and society. Despite a number of regulations adopted recently and aimed at increasing the transparency of public authorities, the desire of state bodies to conceal information from citizens remains. On the basis of the analysis of the forms of public control fixed in normative acts the reasons of its insufficient efficiency are revealed in the article. The authors put forward a number of proposals aimed at the development of the system of public control and designed to contribute, ultimately, to increase the legitimacy of the government as a whole, which is an urgent problem for Russia.

En su vida posterior, Maurice Merleau Ponty cambió su comprensión de cómo los seres humanos conocen el Ser y cómo los seres humanos conocen los fenómenos. Su comprensión madura fue mucho más allá de la fenomenología temprana de Husserl. Su comprensión y posición intelectual, sobre la subjetividad de la mente solo con su correspondiente dualidad de objeto sujeto se disolvió en una experiencia de no dualidad dentro de la apariencia. Su comprensión dualista acerca del Ser cambió a la vasta conciencia no dual del Ser como fuente de subjetividad y objetividad.

Published: April 2019

Industry 4.0 covers the use of technologies such as: internet of things, cloud computing, machine-to-machine integration, communication, 3D printing and big data. In this context, cross-functional integration is essential for the product development. The objective of this paper is to characterize the literature on cross-functional integration in product development processes in the context of the technologies of Industry 4.0. A systematic literature review was carried out to analyze the literature on this topic. There is a growing trend of publications mentioning cross-functional integration in product development, in the studied context. The mainstream of cross-functional integration research focuses on cooperation between people, in the sense of integrating structures of function and power. However, in the context of Industry 4.0, there is a shift in this emphasis on people. People continue to be oriented to cooperate with each other to obtain joint results at the firm level. However, this cooperation is more related to the development of skills to deal with cyber-physical processes and with the knowledge produced by machines and information systems. This kind of interaction ability between human, machine and system, can generate a new way to study cross-functional integration.

Published: April 2019

Introduction. Satellite radar altimeter is an essential part of the Earth remote sensing space missions. Satellite altimeter on-board delay-lock loop, by a widely shared concept, is operationally just a tool of a reliable retaining of received echo-signal within the tracking window, while “fine” altimetric parameter (orbit height, significant wave height, scattering cross section per unit of a probed surface, etc.) measuring is committed to the ground-based retracking of data. In particular, in the course of retracking altimeter data are being filtered and/or smoothed.

Objective. The paper subject is study of retracking algorithms of altimeter data transmitted from the space vehicle to the ground segment.

Methods and materials. It is known that data filtering already presents on-board the space vehicle and is implemented in delay-lock loop based on the α–β-filter. However, at the stage of ground-based retracking it seems more appropriate to use the Kalman filter, which possesses a number of theoretical optimal features and is efficient as for utilization of the available computational resource.

Results and conclusions. In the paper implementation of filtering and smoothing via Kalman algorithm is described. On the ground of computer simulation data it is stated that Kalman filtering and smoothing make estimate accuracy two and more times higher depending on significant wave height.

Published: April 2019

Introduction. The modern approach for ensuring marine activities of necessary quality related to the assessment of current information on the state of the ocean environment in Russia is clearly insufficient. The development of operational methods and instruments of observation, as well as the assessment of the state of the ocean and its forecast naturally determine such an approach. Therefore, the development of the concept, tools and methods of obtaining data is an urgent task of the operational Oceanography formation.

Objective. The objective of the paper is to con-sider the concept of ocean surface monitoring using short-wave surface wave radar.

Methods and materials. The paper presents a number of specific Oceanologic examples that require operational monitoring of the state of coastal waters of the oceans and individual regions. Also, it describes observational systems used in other countries. The paper pays special attention for the development of radar sensing of surface waters, carried out in our country occasionally. The resonant nature of the reflections gives the opportunity to obtain maps of high-precision measurements of surface currents and wave characteristics on the long-range area in real time. The paper notes difficulties of the experiments implementation and the results interpretation, shows the insistent issues for the establishment of the ocean surface operational monitoring, and gives the approaches for solvation of the existing problems. The paper formulates the main task of the world ocean parameters forecast for ensuring of the sea transport safety from natural and anthropogenic threats, as well as formulates the problems solution of effective nature management.

Results. The paper shows that the optimal means of natural data acquisition is the creation of an observation network of coastal HF radars, which enables to assess surface currents and wave characteristics, as well as to solve the problem of monitoring. It is Important to develop an adequate coastal model and correlate its parameters with experimental data. The adaptive modeling and monitoring by modern technical means can overcome inadequacy of physical models to specific natural conditions can.

Conclusion. By assimilation in hydrodynamic and wave models, these data become applicable in spatial mapping of hydrophysical inhomogeneities of the water layer, sound velocity, and underwater acoustic noise.

Published: April 2019

Human health is crucial for every human being with their right to utilize and opt for safe and healthy products. The main reasons for consumer awareness about the products they use in their daily life are health consciousness and environmental concern. The environment is affected due to several issues such as pollution etc. it has been the most the cause of concern for general public and as a result the concept of green environment and the green product has emerged in many countries. As far as Iraq is a concern this issue is at infancy level especially for new consumers, however, the growth in the demand for environmentally friendly products is an increasing trend. This paper aims to find out the purchase intention of consumers towards green products. For this purpose, the sample was selected from Salahaddin University Iraq. The sample size was 161 students from the university. The hypotheses were tested using Smart PLS 3 and the results for the inner and outer model were presented in the study. The results showed 10 significant hypotheses however it was limited to the sample of university students because it is supposed that university student is more focused towards their health as well as environment. Moreover, theoretically this study is limited to the theory of planned behavior. The study helps policymakers to formulate strategies to aware consumers regarding their health and environmental issues especially the students. The study also discusses the recommendations.
