Uterine artery pseudoaneurysms are caused by damage to blood vessel walls from iatrogenic changes including cesarean section or cervical dilatation and uterine curettage. Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is becoming increasingly popular from the perspective of reducing the risk of endometrial injury. This is a case report of a 33-year-old primigravida female patient diagnosed with an unruptured uterine artery pseudoaneurysm that spontaneously resolved after surgery for miscarriage using MVA. The patient experienced a miscarriage at 10 weeks and 0 days of gestation and underwent surgery using MVA. Fourteen days after surgery, the patient was diagnosed with a uterine artery pseudoaneurysm by transvaginal ultrasound tomography and contrast computed tomography of the pelvic region. The patient received elective follow-up and was found to be completely thrombosed 2 months after surgery. MVA for miscarriage may cause uterine artery pseudoaneurysms. Elective therapy may be an option for unruptured uterine artery pseudoaneurysms.
Assessment of Pain at Different Steps of Diagnostic Hysteroscopy Using Room Temperature Normal Saline versus Warmed Normal Saline Solution as Distension Medium
Authors: Sharma Shikha , Roy Kallol Kumar , Rai Rakhi , Zangmo Rinchen , Malhotra Neena , Das Anamika
Published: February 2022

Objectives:

Compare pain intensity at entry into the cervical os, during uterine distension and 15 min after the procedure, in patients undergoing diagnostic hysteroscopy with room temperature normal saline versus that with saline warmed to 38–40°C, using visual analog scale (VAS) score. Furthermore, compare the time taken and failed procedures between them.

Materials and Methods:

This was a randomized controlled, prospective study conducted at a Tertiary Care Center on 100 patients planned for diagnostic hysteroscopy with a 4 mm 30° hysteroscope using vaginoscopy technique. They were divided into two groups of 50 each, with control undergoing the procedure using normal saline at room temperature and the test with saline warmed to 38–40°C as distension medium. Primary outcomes were VAS at the point of entry into the internal os (T0), 1 min later (T1), and 15 min after the procedure (T15). Secondary outcomes were procedural acceptance, time taken, and failed procedures.

Results:

The mean VAS in the control group at T0, T1, T15 was 3.31 (1.461;[FIGURE DASH]0.870–0.245), 2.46 (1.398;[FIGURE DASH]0.539–0.498), 0.75 (0.911;[FIGURE DASH]0.379–0.338), respectively, as compared to the test group of 3.62 (1.282;[FIGURE DASH]0.870–0.245), 2.48 (1.148;[FIGURE DASH]0.540–0.498), 0.77 (0.911;[FIGURE DASH]0.379–0.379), respectively. About 73.5% of controls and 68.8% in the test group were willing to undergo the procedure again. About 93.9% of controls would recommend it further as against 93.8% among the test controls. The time taken and number of failed procedures showed no statistical difference.

Conclusion:

No significant difference was noted in terms of outcomes measured by warming the distension medium.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy for Ovarian Tumor Due to Salmonella Infection
Authors: Tanaka Tamaki , Ota Yoshiaki , Sano Rikiya , Shimoya Koichiro , Moriya Takuya , Shiota Mitsuru
Published: February 2022

Ovarian abscess is thought to be caused by ascending infection. We experienced a case with ovarian abscess caused by Salmonella. The patient had been monitored for endometrial cysts at an outpatient clinic. She visited our hospital emergently with chief complaints of persistent fever and diarrhea. Although sexually transmitted disease was not suspected, she was diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease due to her high C-reactive protein (CRP) level and started antibacterial treatment. Two days later, diagnostic laparoscopy was performed for persisting CRP elevation, and she was diagnosed with ovarian abscesses due to Salmonella infection. As the patient had regularly eaten soft-boiled eggs and chicken, an association with her eating habits was strongly suspected as a cause. When a patient has symptoms of enteritis, preceding tubo-ovarian abscess should be considered the possibility of Salmonella infection. Early diagnosis and treatment are necessary for fertility preservation, and minimally invasive diagnostic laparoscopy is useful.
The “Executive Cardiac Health Checkup”
Authors: Zulfikar Sajan Ahmad
Published: February 2022

PROLOGUE:

The “Executive Master Cardiac Health Checkup” (wonder who made that up the first time!) patient makes his entrance into the cardiologist’s outpatient (OP) chamber. It doesn’t require the deductive skills of our friend in Baker street to identify that he has recently returned from either the USA or its neighbor across the Niagara. He looks healthy as a fresh cucumber. And smells even better (Calvin Klein probably). I offer him a smile, a seat, and my hand. He mistakes the intention of my third gesture and hurriedly thrusts a package on to my unsuspecting hand—the colourful and fancy looking Investigation File (gloss finish for the extra effect). “Doctor, all the test reports are here. Blood tests, ECG, Echo are all done. They wouldn’t let me do the TMT without seeing you,” he complained. I thank the technician silently in my mind for having followed my standing instruction faithfully (I have had my share of trouble with unsolicited treadmill tests). I tell him calmly that I wish to talk to him first about his health, then proceed with a clinical examination, and would then give my full attention to the reports in the file. He is clearly not happy. He gives a few not-so-furtive glances at his oversized watch to indicate that he didn’t have much time to waste.

POST SCRIPT:

After the evaluation, I happily gave the gentleman a “clean chit” and congratulated him on the excellent condition of his heart. He didn’t look as happy as I wanted him to feel though. “Doctor, can I do the TMT now?,” he asked impatiently. One should know when a battle is lost. I smiled, and wrote “Routine check up, No risk factors” against the indication column on the TMT form. The patient proudly came back with the “Negative TMT.” This time, he was smiling from ear to ear, “Thank you Doc, I will be back next year around Christmas for the same check-up.” So much for evidence-based medicine!

Published: February 2022

Background:

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common component of chronic liver disease. Total bile acid (TBA) may influence the NAFLD progression through its signaling pathways. We attempted to find out if there is a correlation between TBA and NAFLD.

Methods:

427,507 subjects were enrolled in health examinations conducted by The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Among them, only 67616 met the inclusion criteria. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were gathered from all subjects. We used multivariate logistic regression model to find the correlation between serum TBA and NAFLD after adjusting for acknowledged risk factors for NAFLD.

Results:

A negative correlation was found between the TBA and NAFLD after adjusting for confounders in the multivariate logistic regression model (OR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.88, P < 0.001). After subgroup analysis, we found the interaction between NAFLD and diabetes was significant (P = 0.043). In patients with NAFLD without diabetes, TBA showed a protective effect in NAFLD (OR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.67, 0.85).

Conclusion:

TBA is protective for NAFLD, but not in patients with NAFLD and diabetes. Further studies are urgently required to completely explore the underlying mechanisms of TBA in the pathogenesis of NAFLD.

Published: February 2022

Dairy production is an important component of livestock farming in Ethiopia. Nevertheless, the productivity of the sector has been impacted negatively by the morbidity and mortality of replacement animals. A Cross-sectional study was, therefore, aimed at estimating the prevalence of Nematode and Eimeria infection in calves in Hawassa, Shashemene and Arsi Negelle, southern Ethiopia. To this end, a flotation technique was used to recover Nematode egg and Eimeria oocyst from rectally collected faeces. The overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitic infection, Nematode and Eimeria species collectively, was 43.9% (95% CI=38.6-49.4). The estimated proportion of Nematode, Eimeria and mixed infection was 35.8%, 21.5% and 13.3%, respectively. Among the potential factors considered faecal consistency, age and study area were found to increase recovery of Nematode egg and Eimeria oocyst in faeces (p< 0.05). Area wise, the prevalence has been noted to be higher at Arsi Negelle followed by Hawassa and Shashemene (p< 0.05). Besides, younger and diarrheic calves were found more infected by Nematode and Eimeria species than their adult and non-diarrheic counterpart. Based on their morphological appearance, Strongyle type (20.3%), Trichuris (4.2%) and Ascaris (16.3%) eggs, Eimeria oocysts (21.5%) were observed. In the light of this finding, the authors would like to advise the need for strategic intervention.
“Thank you, Marojejy:” affective learning outcomes of student participants in place-based field trips to Marojejy National Park

Published: February 2022

Evaluations of conservation education programmes are most often concerned within the cognitive domain, where logical learning takes place. In place-based education, emphasis is instead placed on learning in multiple domains, including the cognitive and affective domains. Here, we  quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate student learning in the affective domain following a series of short educational trips to Marojejy National  Park, Northeast Madagascar. Student responses to the prompt “write about your trip to Marojejy” were evaluated for content, including emotional  responses using cultural consensus, saliency scoring, and qualitative evaluation. The most salient term used in responses were “a good trip”. when  tested 1.5 to 2 weeks after their trip. Students wrote about the emotional impact of the trip in four out of five levels of the affective domain. Our findings highlight the value of place-based education for learning in the affective domain. We demonstrated that even over a brief period of three  days, placebased conservation education can have a marked impact on the values and emotions of participants.

Les évaluations de programmes d’éducation en matière de préservation sont le plus souvent axées sur le domaine cognitif, là où s’effectue  l’apprentissage logique. Dans l’éducation effectuée sur place, l’accent est au contraire mis sur un apprentissage multidisciplinaire, qui inclut à la  fois les domaines cognitifs et affectifs. Ici, nous évaluons de façon quantitative et qualitative l’apprentissage des étudiants dans le domaine affectif  en suivant une série de brèves excursions à but éducatif au Parc national de Marojejy, dans le Nord-Est de Madagascar. Les réponses des étudiants  à l’instruction « Parlez-nous de votre excursion à Marojejy » ont fait l’objet d’une évaluation tenant également compte des aspects émotionnels, sur  la base du consensus culturel, du score de saillance et du point de vue qualitatif. L’expression la plus saillante utilisée dans les réponses a été «  bonne excursion » dans les tests effectués 1,5 à 2 semaines après leur retour. Les étudiants ont relaté l’impact émotionnel de l’excursion dans  quatre des cinq niveaux du domaine affectif. Nos résultats mettent en évidence la valeur d’une éducation sur place pour un apprentissage au  niveau affectif. Nous avons démontré que même après une brève période de trois jours, l’éducation en matière de préservation peut avoir,  lorsqu’elle est effectuée sur place, un impact significatif sur les valeurs et les émotions des participants.

We present here a commentary essay on the challenges and perspectives on the recruitment and retention of Malagasy women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). We base the essay on our personal experience as Malagasy women scientists and support the  arguments with the responses of 60 Malagasy women scientists to an online survey that was shared among Malagasy scientists. We identified that  the main causes for a limited number of Malagasy women in STEM relied upon traditional expectations and heavily ingrained cultural values. The  situation becomes more complicated when accounting for familial constraints, financial constraints, and communication gaps between students  and professors. This is obviously an unfortunate situation; however, there have been bridging-gap initiatives— financial, awareness to family  pressure, and knowledge difference between senior and junior scientists—that should be continued to provide support to promising students and  enhance STEM education as a tool for development in Madagascar.

Cet essai discute les défis et les perspectives dans le recrutement et le maintien des femmes citoyennes de Madagascar dans les sciences, la  technologie, l’ingénierie et les mathématiques (STIM).  Les arguments présentés sont basés sur nos expériences personnelles en tant que femmes  scientifiques nées et ayant grandies à Madagascar. Ces arguments sont soutenus par des informations issues d’un sondage effectué en ligne  auprès de 60 femmes scientifiques, s’identifiant elles-mêmes originaires de Madagascar. Les raisons pour lesquelles ces femmes sont peu nombreuses à participer activement dans les domaines des STIM à Madagascar sont liées à des contraintes traditionnelles et à des valeurs  culturelles fortement ancrées depuis leur enfance. La situation se complique lorsqu’on tient compte des contraintes financières et des écarts de  communication entre étudiants et professeurs. Si cette situation est évidemment regrettable, il existe cependant des initiatives visant à combler le  fossé qui sont financières, ou qui s’inscrivent dans la sensibilisation à la pression familiale et à la différence de connaissances entre les scientifiques seniors et juniors. Ces encouragements devraient être poursuivis afin d'apporter un soutien aux étudiantes prometteuses et d'améliorer  l'enseignement des femmes en STIM qui sont importantes pour le développement de Madagascar.

Published: February 2022

Effective management of personal information is pivotal for its sustainable use. This article presents a study that has assessed the personal information  anagement (PIM) practices of library staff at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM). The study used a descriptive research design deploying both qualitative and quantitative approaches under which questionnaire and focus group discussion guide were used to collect data. While qualitative data were subjected to content analysis, statistical analysis was used to generate descriptive and inferential statistics from quantitative data using IBM SPSS version 23. The findings have revealed that librarians at are generally aware of various PIM practices and use them to manage their personal information. The librarians use both physical and electronic tools to manage their personal information. These tools include physical folders, files, and boxes, which are used to manage physical information, and Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud which are used to manage electronic information. Several factors influence the effectiveness of librarians’ PIM practices. These include librarians’ demographic characteristics (age and levels of education), knowledge of the information cycle, information management skills, and available information systems. Factors such as inadequate information management skills and shortage of time have been found to undermine the effectiveness of the studied population’s PIM practices. The study concludes that understanding factors that influence and undermine effective PIM practices is essential in setting a foundation for improving personal information management.

Published: February 2022

This study investigated the practice of research data handling in the selected higher learning institutions in Tanzania, with specific reference to the University of Dar es Salaam and University of Dodoma. The study assessed research data formats that are currently produced, where the research data are currently stored and whether researchers in the selected institutions use data management plan in their research activities. A study used both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Questionnaire was used to extract data from researchers while interview was used to obtain data from key informants who were categorized as potential managers responsible for research data management from the respective institutions. Results show that researchers have been producing various kinds of research data in various formats both digital and analogy data. Moreover, researchers handled these data using various approaches. This means that there were no systematic and well-guided methods of handling their research data making the data prone to get lost. Only a small number of researchers appeared to have a large amount of research data. Furthermore, only a few number of researchers indicated to have used research data management plan (RDM) in their research activities. This study recommends more collaboration among researchers, directorate of research and publication, ICT and library management to improve the research data handling in the universities.

Published: February 2022

The closure of educational and cultural institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in the traditional teaching model and the transition to online teaching. Since access to textbooks and professional literature was significantly difficult in completely new conditions, the resources of information and communication technologies were included in the teaching process, among which the e-book took an important place. The authors examine the experiences of students of teacher training faculties and faculties of education (N = 394) in relation to (a) the use of e-book for study purposes; (b) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of e-book for study purposes and (c) the factors that initiated the use of e-book. Research results show that two thirds of the respond- ents use this book format. According to the experience of more than a third of students, the current health crisis has contributed to the use of e-books to a greater extent than before, while a quarter of the respondents were motivated to start using it. The use of e-books was initiated mostly under the influence of professors and by independent internet search. Future class teachers and preschool teachers from the Western Balkans are open to the use of modern technologies, and the current pandemic has intensified the use of e-books for the purpose of their education, which has contributed to overcoming the dif- ficulties caused by the health crisis, as well as to gaining competence in efficient work with future generations of readers of various forms of text.
Strategies for Engaging and Challenging Young Language Learners in Online Learning Environments
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Education in Jagodina, Savić Vera M.
Published: February 2022

The transfer of lessons from in-person to virtual due to the pandemic that started at the beginning of 2020 required language teachers to adapt their pedagogical skills and apply methods different from the ones used when teaching in regular classrooms. The aim of the paper is to explore the ways for enriching language teaching methodology to respond effectively to the needs of young language learners in online learning environments, and to contribute to the body of teaching strategies that can successfully be applied in virtual environments. We consider the factors that contribute to enhancing language learning with technology, discuss the needs of young learners, and describe the conditions required for engaging all learners online. Then we discuss teaching strategies that may be applied to make online teaching environments engaging and challenging for all learners. We conclude that with adequate teaching strategies and multimedia materials language teachers can provide fun and engaging learning experiences for young learners in a number of online teaching contexts.
Osposobljenost budućih učitelja za procenu preciznosti tekstualnih matematičkih zadataka
Authors: Vulović Nenad R. , Čutura Ilijana R. , Milikić Milan P.
Published: February 2022

The subject of this paper is to examine to what extent students, future class teachers, are able to determine errors and inaccuracies in the formulation of textual mathematical tasks. The competence of future class teachers on this matter was evaluated based on the criteria which referred to the following: unrealistically given values of data in the tasks, conditions of tasks that cannot be performed, imprecise use of mathematical terminology and content, and linguistic inaccuracy in formulations. The sample consisted of 65 students, future teachers, all of whom attended basic courses in mathematics and methodology of teaching mathematics. The data were processed by using qualitative and standard quantitative analysis procedures. The results indicate that future class teachers are not sufficiently prepared and trained to identify errors in textually given mathematical problems. They do not pay enough attention to the realistic character of the given quantities and the existence of conditions necessary for solving the task. They do not recognize the problems due to the insufficient knowledge of mathematical terminology and the precision that the language of mathematics requires. The results indicate that students, as future most direct participants in forming children’s mathematical literacy, need to be better trained for linguistically correct formulation of mathematical tasks.

The analysis of language characteristics of pupils’ written discourse indi- cates, among other things, the functional application of the acquired knowledge of the Ser- bian language and provides the insight into the quality of their language literacy necessary for the acquisition and application of knowledge in various scientific disciplines. The aim of the paper is to examine the linguistic characteristics (types of deviations) in pupils’ answers to certain textual tasks regarding natural sciences in the TIMSS 2019 in Serbia. Moreover, we aim to establish to what extent the linguistic characteristics (types of deviations) of the answers reflect the standards of school achievement for the analysed age. The answers of three hundred pupils to three open-ended tasks from natural sciences have been analysed (each task belongs to one of the three examined areas in the TIMSS 2019). Pupils’ language literacy has been assessed by the qualitative analysis of the content of their answers at the orthographic, grammatical/syntactic, and lexical-semantic level. The observed deviations refer to: inadequate application of spelling rules, formulation of clear and precise sentences, insufficiently developed ability to understand the meaning and the use of the words that belong to the general lexical system, indicating insufficiently developed linguistic literacy of the pupils. The types of language deviations in the analysed answers mostly concern the requirements prescribed for the basic and intermediate level of educational standards of achievement when these characteristics are considered in the context of educational standards for the end of the first cycle of education for the subject Serbian language. The obtained findings indicate that more attention should be paid to language expression when teaching all school subjects in junior grades of elementary school. Additionally, it is necessary to revise national standards which will support the development of functional literacy, i.e. the competencies relevant to the knowledge society.
SIMS STUDY OF THE TiFe ALLOY INTERACTION WITH OXYGEN
Authors: Litvinov V.A. , Okseniuk I.I. , Shevchenko D.I. , Bobkov V.V.
Published: February 2022

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analysis is used to investigate the composition of surface monolayers of the hydride forming intermetallic TiFe alloy during its interaction with oxygen. Oxygen, which is chemisorbed on the surface, is shown to form strong chemical bonds with both alloy components. As a result, on the surface and in the subsurface region of the alloy, a joint oxide structure forms with a certain stoichiometric ratio between titanium, iron and oxygen. With an increasing partial pressure of oxygen in the oxide structure being formed, the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to the number of matrix atoms increases. This process occurs uniformly without any abrupt phase transformations.
COMPARISON OF CORROSION OF ALUMINUM-BASED ALLOYS FORMING DECAGONAL QUASICRYSTALS IN NaCl SOLUTION
Authors: Polonskyy V.A. , Sukhova O.V.
Published: February 2022

In this work corrosion behavior of the Al72Co18Ni10, Al65Co20Cu15, and Al72Fe15Ni13 alloys forming decagonal quasicrystalline phases was tested in the neutral NaCl solution (pH = 7) which allows a comparison of their corrosion resistance under conditions comparable to application in marine climate. The microstructure of the alloys was studied by quantitative metallographic, X-ray, scanning electron microscopic, and energy dispersive analyses. The corrosion properties were determined by gravimetric and potentiodynamic methods. The Al65Co20Cu15 and Al72Fe15Ni13 alloys have been established to corrode in the sodium chloride solution more strongly than the Al72Co18Ni10 alloy. The corrosion that proceeds under electrochemical mechanism is accompanied by the formation of passive layer on the surface that retards further dissolution in the saline solution after 3–4 days of testing. Scanning electron microscopy shows the marks of pitting corrosion. The pits appear mostly where flaws and boundaries of iron- or aluminum-rich crystalline phases are located. Their quantity and size are lesser on the surface of the Al72Co18Ni10 alloy since Co and Ni in its composition are rate determining for the corrosion processes. This alloy may be recommended as starting material for plasma-spayed coatings working in marine climate.

Internet is something that can be easily accessed by everyone. With just one click it can take people anywhere even to a different world. Inaccurate use of the internet can carry considerable negatives. For adolescents who are still in their teens who still have a passion for learning and high curiosity can take advantage of the internet. However, not a few teenagers who actually use the internet get a negative impact because of their lack of knowledge of the internet; they do not understand the negative effects that can be caused by the internet. This is due to the lack of explanation and education related to the internet to them. Therefore, how important the role of parents, teachers, and society is in providing explanation, understanding, and education to adolescents related to the internet. One of the solutions that can solve the above problems is the holding of Healthy Internet Counseling and Training for Junior High School-aged Children (SMP) with the aim of providing understanding to junior high school age children regarding healthy use of the internet and to find out what the negative impacts of the internet are. Community service activities in the form of counseling and training for healthy internet get results and benefits including increasing sufficient understanding of the wise use of the internet so as to maximize the positive impact of the internet and minimize the negative impact of surfing, so as to create smart and productive teenagers.
Estratificación de riesgo cardiovascular en enfermedades autoinmunes en un hospital universitario
Authors: Gálvez Elkin María Soledad , Montiel Bertone Mariano , Lastra Cintia , Cadile Isaac Ignacio , Onetti Laura Beatriz , Mussano Eduardo
Published: February 2022

Introducción: Las enfermedades autoinmunes (EAI) han sido consideradas como no fatales; sin embargo, la mayoría de éstas tienen una historia natural de mortalidad prematura. Algunas como el lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES), artritis reumatoidea (AR), esclerosis sistémica (ES), polimiositis, vasculitis y otras, están asociadas a una mortalidad temprana comparable a las enfermedades cardiovasculares y neoplásicas. Objetivos: 1- Identificar las EAI con mayor riesgo cardiovascular previamente diagnosticadas en pacientes que sean atendidos en un servicio de Reumatología de un hospital universitario. 2- Comparar el riesgo cardiovascular calculado según la escala de Framingham y el modelo SCORE en pacientes con diagnóstico previo de enfermedad autoinmune. Material y métodos: Estudio analítico de corte transversal, en un servicio de Reumatología de un hospital universitario donde se reclutaron 129 historias clínicas de pacientes que acudieron espontáneamente entre el 1 de noviembre de 2010 y el 31 de mayo de 2011. Se elaboraron tablas de cruces de variables y su posterior cálculo con Chi Cuadrado y coeficiente de Pearson. Resultados: Las EAI con mayor riesgo cardiovascular fueron AR, vasculitis y EASN. La escala de Framingham mostró solo un paciente con AR que tenía RCV muy elevado. La vasculitis encabezó el RCV elevado con el 16,7%, pero esto corresponde solo a un paciente. El segundo lugar estaba representado por AR (10,7%), luego EASN (10%) y LES (4,5%). El modelo SCORE demostró que el 3,1% de las enfermedades tenía muy elevado RCV, porcentaje que estaba comprendido por 3 pacientes con AR y 1 con vasculitis. El RCV elevado estuvo representado sólo por AR en un 13,3%. Al comparar ambas escalas de riesgo cardiovascular, el 70,5% de 129 pacientes presentaron bajo RCV. Sólo un paciente (0,8%) con bajo RCV en la escala de Framingham tenía muy elevado RCV en el SCORE. De acuerdo al coeficiente de correlación R de Pearson existe un nivel de asociación de casi el 50%, por lo tanto, se demostró que existe muy buena correspondencia entre estas variables. Conclusión: Se encontró una correlación positiva entre las dos escalas, y las enfermedades con mayor riesgo cardiovascular fueron la AR, vasculitis y EASN, destacando el bajo número de casos de las últimas dos comparadas con la AR. Notoriamente el nivel de evidencia es mayor en AR y en LES que en cualquier otra patología autoinmune. Esto no descarta que el resto de ellas posea alto RCV. Futuros trabajos multicéntricos deberían plantearse para el desarrollo de guías destinadas al resto de las enfermedades autoinmunes o para la aplicación de las ya existentes.

A pesquisa teve como objetivo correlacionar os fatores pessoais, sociais, demográficos e ambientais às condutas hospitalares durante a primeira internação e que interferem no processo de reinternação hospitalar em pacientes com ostomias de eliminação intestinal. O método de pesquisa foi quantitativo-qualitativo, descritivo, exploratório e documental, com triangulação, composta por duas etapas, desenvolvidas, após aprovação do Comitê de Ética, com pacientes submetidos à fabricação de ostomias intestinais no período de 2015 a 2019. Para análise das variáveis descritivas, utilizou-se software SPSS®. Os dados qualitativos foram analisados por meio da Análise temática de Conteúdo. Os resultados do perfil dos pacientes submetidos às ostomias intestinais foram de um público com ensino fundamental incompleto. Nos aspectos socioambientais, adquiridos na etapa 1, observou-se que a maioria tem água tratada e esgoto, acesso à unidade de saúde e renda entre 1 e 11/2 salário mínimo. Na etapa 2, houve alta taxa de reinternação (39,1%), a maioria (92,5%) dos pacientes não recebeu nenhuma orientação sobre o cuidado com a ostomia, nas principais causas de reinternação, os registros nos prontuários são muito subjetivos, grande parte de 12 (30%) apenas indicou o diagnóstico básico em si. Concluiu-se que, ao correlacionar fatores pessoais, sociais, demográficos e ambientais com comportamentos hospitalares que interferem no processo de reinternação hospitalar em pacientes com ostomias de eliminação intestinal, notou-se que a baixa escolaridade dos pacientes interfere no autocuidado. Paradoxalmente, há uma enorme falta de comunicação, orientação e acompanhamento entre a equipe multidisciplinar.

The inelastic buckling resistances of wide flange beams are strongly influenced by residual stresses and initial imperfections. However, the resistances as evaluated from simple solutions presented in several popular design specifications are found to be considerably different. The present study thus develop a numerical solution in ABAQUS software to investigate the inelastic buckling moment resistances of rolled steel beams with compact sections and subjected to the effects of residual stresses and initial imperfections. The residual stresses are taken as provided in AISC, CSA S16, EC 3 specifications, while the initial imperfections are taken as the first lateral-torsional buckling mode with a magnitude limited in AISC, CSA specifications. Through comparisons between the specifications and the numerical solutions, one observes a significant difference between the moment resistances predicted by the specifications, in which the AISC predicts the highest values, while the EC 3 predicts the lowest moments. The moment resistances based on the present numerical models lie between the EC 3 and CSA solutions and they are relatively close to EC 3 solutions. Effects of load height positions on the inelastic buckling moment resistances are significant, as investigated in the present study

Static mortality tables underestimate the life expectancy of individuals when used over extended periods of time, since they do not take into account the gradual decrease in mortality due to improvements in living conditions. In light of this, we propose pivot tables that take into account the effect of chronological time on mortality. Our research presents the Lee-Carter model for the construction of pivot mortality tables and the projection for the ecuadorian population. Population death data corresponding to the 1990-2016.
