A comparison of fluoride-oxalate and plain (serum gel) tube on glucose measurement
Authors: Amegashie EA , Amidu N , Owiredu WKBA
Published: May 2021

A continuing problem in the accurate measurement of glucose is its decline in concentration due to erythrocytic glycolysis after sampling, transport and processing. Eliminating this problem requires the use of an anti-glycolytic agent that can be added to the sampling tubes without altering cellular integrity while measuring blood glucose. This study was therefore conducted to compare fluorideoxalate and plain tube on glucose measurement at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. A total of 100 subjects were recruited from an adult population at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Six milliliters of venous blood sample was collected from each patient and 1ml each was dispensed into three separate fluoride-oxalate and plain tubes and were centrifuged at different time intervals to obtain plasma and serum respectively. 1%, 4% and 8% of the subjects presented with hypoglycaemia at immediate, after 1 hour and 2 hours fluoride-oxalate while that of plain tubes were 3%, 6% and 14% respectively. 58%, 53% and 49% of the subjects presented with hyperglycaemia at immediate, after 1 hour and 2 hours for fluoride-oxalate while that of plain tubes were 58%, 49% and 47%. Decrease in glucose concentration after 1 hour and 2 hours in fluoride-oxalate tubes were 6.5% and 13% respectively while those in plain tubes were 8.9% and 16.7%. Though, fluoride-oxalate does not completely inhibit erythrocytic glycolysis within two hours, its effect when left on the bench at different time intervals does not show a significant change in test results. Plain tubes however show significant change in test results at different time intervals since they do not contain any antiglycolytic agents needed to preserve blood glucose.Keywords: Glucose estimation, preservative, serum gel, glucose oxidase, Ghana

Published: May 2021

Dyslipidemias are possible debilitating outcomes of diabetes and important predictors of cardiovascular disease risk in diabetic patients. We carried out a cross-sectional, case control study from April to July 2014 at the Ngaoundere Regional Hospital involving 90 patients: 45 diabetics (10 type 1 and 35 type 2) and 45 non-diabetics with the aim of characterizing and comparing the lipid profile between type 1 and type 2 diabetics of northern Cameroon. Blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were obtained, and a fasting blood sample collected per patient on which blood sugar level and lipid profile were determined. Data analysis was performed using R Version 2.13.0 and the French version of Epi Info 7, with the level of significance set at 5%. Following threshold standards according to ANAES, the mean triglyceride level was significantly higher in type 2 diabetics (212.65±49.34 mg/dL) compared to type 1 diabetics (101.60±52.64 mg/dL) and controls (152.24±57.91 mg/dL) (p<0.0014). The mean low density lipoprotein (LDLc) was observed to be significantly higher in type 1 (136.78± 33.88 mg/dL) compared to type 2 (113.29 ± 38.00 mg/dL) diabetics and controls (94.62 ± 51.31 mg/dL) (P = 0.017), and likewise the median high density lipoprotein (HDLc) of type I, type II, and non-diabetics corresponding to 11.5, 47 and 56 mg/dl respectively were significantly different (p<0.0001). Furthermore, mixed hyperlipidemia was absent among the type 1 diabetics but more prevalent in type 2 diabetics (37.1 %) compared to controls (6.7%). According to the D’Agostino (Framingham) model, 37.1% of type II diabetics and 6.8 % of non-diabetics had a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease in 10 years, and the difference here was statistically significant (p=0.001). Both type 1 and type 2 diabetics originating from northern Cameroon are very prone to dyslipidemias and thus highly predisposed to cardiovascular diseases.Journal of Medical and Biomedical Sciences (2015) 4(3), 18-24Keywords: Diabetes, Lipid Profile, Cardiovascular disease risk, Northern Cameroon

Globally, prostate cancer is a disease of public health importance and it is most common among men between 60 to 70 years of age. Distant primaries involving supraclavicular nodes secondary to prostate cancer is very rare. This report is a case of an unusual presentation of prostate cancer manifesting as a huge neck mass in a 61-year-old man from Kumasi, Ghana, who had complete regression of the mass after androgen deprivation therapy. Carcinoma of the prostate should be considered among the differential diagnoses in any elderly male presenting with a neck mass.Journal of Medical and Biomedical Sciences (2016) 5(2), 1-4

Published: May 2021

Referrals from primary care practitioners such as optometrists to other health care providers is critical to the health care delivery system of any society. This study explores the pattern of referrals of Nigerian optometrists with respect to glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. A cross-sectional survey using a 28-item questionnaire was administered to optometrists attending the 37th  annual general meeting of the Nigerian Optometric Association. Of the 58 respondents, 51 (87.9%) of the respondents based their diagnosis of glaucoma on the triad of raised intra-ocular pressure (IOP), cup-disc (C/D) ratio and characteristic visual field defect while the remaining seven (12.1%) based their diagnosis of glaucoma on raised IOP and C/D ratio. Fifty-four (93.1%) requested for a fasting blood glucose test (FBG) from patients who presented with ocular signs indicative of diabetes or diabetic retinopathy. When diabetic retinopathy was observed in a patient, 16 (27.6%) responded to refer the patient to an ophthalmologist while eight (13.8%) agree to refer the patient to a medical personnel/physician. Forty-four (75.9%) of the respondents reportedly performs visual field test (VFT) while 14 (24.1%) do not perform VFT. A total of 31 (53.4%) of the respondents reported that they will initiate treatment for a glaucoma patient before referring the patient to an ophthalmologist while 10 (17.2%) will refer glaucoma patient outright to an ophthalmologist. With respect to the stage of diabetic retinopathy that will warrant a referral, 42 (72.4%) of the respondents refer the patient at any stage when the diagnosis is made while 5 (8.6%) will only refer the patient if there is no improvement in the condition presumably after follow-up care. More female respondents were likely to refer glaucoma patients (OR = 1.556, 95% CI = 0.488 – 4.963) and diabetic retinopathy (OR = 3.682, 95% CI = 0.357 – 37.922) to ophthalmologists. Majority of Nigerian optometrists refer glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy patients to ophthalmologists; though more than half of the respondents will initiate treatment for glaucoma before referral.Journal of Medical and Biomedical Sciences (2016) 5(3), 36-44Keywords: Optometry, Ophthalmology, referral, Nigeria, glaucoma

Published: May 2021

Colorectal cancer is common and lethal disease with different incidence rate in different parts of the world which is taken into account as the third cause of cancer-related deaths. In the present study, using non-parametric Cox model and parametric Log-logistic model, factors influencing survival of patients with colorectal cancer were evaluated and the models efficiency were compared to provide the best model. This study is conducted on medical records of 1,127 patients with colorectal cancer referred to Taleghani Medical and Training Center of Tehran between 2001 - 2007 and were definitely diagnosed with cancer, pathologically. Semi-parametric Cox model and parametric log-logistic model were fitted. Akaike’s criterion of Cox Snell graph was used to compare the models. To take into account non-measured individual characteristics, frailty was added to Cox and log-logistic models. All calculations were carried out using STATA software version 12 and SPSS version 20.0, at the 0.05 level of significance. From a total of 1,127 patients studied in this research, there were 690 men and 437 women. According to non-parametric Kaplan-Meier method, chances of surviving for 1, 3, 5 and 7 years were 91.16, 73.20, 61.00, and 54.94, respectively. Addition of frailty parameter did not change the model outcome. The results of fitting classified Cox and log-logistic models showed that body mass index (BMI), tumor grade, tumor size, and spread to lymph nodes, were the factors affecting survival time. Based on comparisons, and according to Cox Snell residuals, Cox and log-logistic models had almost identical results; however, because of the benefits of parametric models, in surveying survival time of patients with colorectal cancer, log-logistic can be replaced, as a parametric model, with Cox model.Journal of Medical and Biomedical Sciences (2017) 6(1), 35-43Keywords: Colorectal cancer, Cox regression, Log-logistic model, Cox Snell residual

Published: May 2021

One of the concerns among mothers for delivery is labor pain. There are various methods to decrease labor pain, of which epidural anesthesia is an effective one, but not all mothers agree to receive this invasive intervention. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is an inexpensive, safe, and easily applicable method which can be used in patient control mode. To find proper non-invasive methods to pain relief during labor this study was conducted to compare TENS, Entonox and combination of them during the first phase of labor. In this RCT study, 120 pregnant women in the age range of 20-40 years, singleton pregnancy, at 37-42 weeks’ gestation, at cervical dilatation of less than 4 cm in phase one of labor were selected and randomly divided into three groups including TENS, Entonox and combination group. Pain severity was recorded based on VAS at the time of presentation to the maternity unit, cervical dilatations of 4-6cm, 6-8cm, and 8-10cm and demographic characterizations. There were no significant differences regarding to age, parity, and BMI between the three groups. Pain was less severe in combination group compared to other two groups at cervical dilations of 4-6cm and 6-8cm. At cervical dilation of 8-10cm, VAS score was higher in Entonox group than in other two groups, but no significant difference existed between TENS and combination group. Duration of the first phase of labor was longer in TENS group than the other two groups. TENS is a non-invasive, safe, easy applicable and self-administered method with low rate of complications which can be used alone or in combination with other methods in relieving labor pain.Journal of Medical and Biomedical Sciences (2017) 6(2), 11-16
Predictors of Swedish Teachers’ Attitudes and Willingness towards Research-based Teaching: Results of a Survey Study
Authors: Reichenberg Monica
Published: May 2021

Teachers´ and special educators’ attitudes towards research-based work differ but remains poorly understudied. This study predicts Swedish teachers´ and special educators´ attitudes towards (a) research-based work and (b) inviting researchers to schools. The data comes from a survey with a convenience sample of more than 300 teachers and special educators. The analysis combines methods such as:  factor analysis, bootstrapped linear regression, and ordinal regression. Theoretically, this study derives predictions from professional capital theory. First, the results show how teachers and special educators differ in attitudes towards research-based work. Second, the results show how teachers with greater social capital have a higher probability of willingness to invite researchers to the school. This study concludes support for professional capital theory.

Beneficios de la clinoptilolita colombiana en la germinación de maíz (Zea mays L.) en suelo arcilloso
Authors: Corzo Díaz Andrea Carolina , Noriega Hernández Aristides José , Alvarado Ibarra Juana
Published: May 2021

En este ensayo se utilizó una zeolita natural de origen colombiano tipo “clinoptilolita” y un fertilizante triple 15 (NPK) con el objetivo de mejorar las propiedades de un suelo arcilloso y mejorar la germinación de maíz. Mediante un experimento no aleatorio se hizo una prueba de viabilidad con treinta semillas de maíz. De manera simultánea, se realizaron diez experimentos por triplicado, variando la cantidad de suelo y la relación de zeolita-fertilizante. En la prueba de viabilidad se encontró que a las 120 h se tiene una tasa de germinación del 80%. En los experimentos se observó que la zeolita mejora la capacidad de filtrado y reduce la compactación del suelo. Se concluyó que la mezcla de zeolita y fertilizante disminuyen el tiempo de germinado del maíz, el uso de agua de riego y la cantidad de fertilizante a usar en el cultivo. Por lo anterior, este trabajo es una alternativa con potencial para contribuir con el objetivo del desarrollo sustentable 15, sobre la vida de ecosistemas terrestres al tener la posibilidad de recuperar suelos infértiles.
Intensity variation of gamma radiation on ground level interface in São Jose Dos Campos, SP, Brazil
Authors: Martin Inacio M. , Gomes Marcelo P.
Published: May 2021

In the period June 22 to September 24, 2012 São José dos Campos region experienced dry climate with low relative humidity. The net rain intensity measured in this period was 60 mm/h and the relative humidity range between 30% to 40% on most days. The intensity of gamma radiation from 0.03 to 10.0 MeV, in the measurement period presents a daily fluctuation well clearly, and some small increases when there is rainfall.  These measures were realized at ITA's campus with a scintillator of NaI(Tl), photomultiplier and associated electronics laptop to a Dell 630 PC. A data acquisition interface purchased from (Aware Eletronics, USA) provides a file with measurements versus time, in the range from minute to minute recorded in txt. It was observed that the variation of gamma radiation in the interface soil/air at the region is originating from the local radon gas dynamics and of the presence of wind shear near the ground level.

Authors: Lima Ubirajara Couto
Published: May 2021

Este artigo refere-se a resultado parcial de pesquisa de doutoramento na área de Educação cujo objetivo consiste em identificar e analisar as experiências de Arranjos de Desenvolvimento da Educação (ADE´s) no Estado da Bahia, focalizando a relação destas com o regime de colaboração e avaliando a sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento territorial e melhoria da qualidade da educação dos municípios envolvidos. Firmado numa abordagem qualitativa e tendo como estratégia metodológica o estudo de caso, este artigo tenciona apresentar duas experiências de arranjos, caracterizando-as - quanto à sua história, atores participantes, institucionalização, estrutura e modo de funcionamento -, e problematizando a sua articulação com o instituto do regime de colaboração, sobretudo no tocante ao compartilhamento de competências políticas, técnicas e financeiras. As experiências analisadas, no que diz respeito aos conteúdos de colaboração e cooperação, apresentam, em menor ou maior grau, os seguintes aspectos: articulação federativa; capacidade de gestão institucional; modelos de gestão pedagógica; e instrumentos de transparência e controle social e democrático. No entanto, apesar de serem modelos exitosos de organização cooperativa, evidenciou-se a necessidade de ações coordenadoras e indutivas da União e dos estados, que no caso da Bahia, no plano intergovernamental, tem um papel inexpressivo na articulação federativa com os municípios.

Authors: Al-Lage Jéssica Guimarães , Manzano Roberta Munhoz , Ambrozin Alexandre Ricardo Pepe
Published: May 2021

Introdução: A Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) é uma doença que cursa com obstrução crônica ao fluxo aéreo com piora progressiva e manifestações sistêmicas relacionadas. Indivíduos com DPOC apresentam diminuição da capacidade funcional, tornando imprescindível a sua avaliação por meio de testes físicos funcionais. Objetivos: Avaliar os efeitos do teste de escada (TEsc) nas variáveis hemodinâmicas e respiratórias de portadores de obstrução ao fluxo aéreo e correlacionar as respostas hemodinâmicas e respiratórias ao desempenho final no TEsc. Métodos: Foram selecionados pacientes com mais de 50 anos com diagnóstico de DPOC e sem o diagnóstico para o grupo controle. Todos foram submetidos a avaliação de estatura e massa corporal para cálculo do Índice de massa corpórea e à espirometria. Antes e após o TEsc foram monitorizadas a frequência cardíaca (FC), frequência respiratória (FR), pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica (PAS e PAD) e saturação periférica de oxigênio (SPO2). Os dados da FC e altitude a cada lance da escada foram transmitidos para o computador através de uma interface (infravermelho) e filtrados utilizando-se o programa Polar ProTrainer 5. Resultados: O grupo obstrutivo (GE) apresentou aumento da FC e PAS e o grupo controle (GC) da FC e FR, sendo que a partir do segundo lance de escada a FC obteve aumento significante. A variação da FR foi a única que obteve correlação significativa com o tempo no teste de escada (tTEsc). Conclusão: Pacientes obstrutivos após o TEsc apresentam aumento das respostas hemodinâmicas, e estas respostas não se relacionaram ao resultado do teste.
O espaço de uso coletivo nas áreas urbanas de génese ilegal - Estudo comparativo de formas de diminuir a segregação espacial em augi portuguesas e nas favelas do Rio De Janeiro
Authors: Das Neves Sara Maria Pacheco
Published: May 2021

Neste artigo, pretende-se estudar a relação dos habitantes de áreas de génese ilegal em Lisboa com o espaço público e privado, a fim de estabelecer diretrizes para intervenções nestas áreas. A primeira parte da pesquisa prende-se com a caracterização genérica do fenómeno das Áreas Urbanas de Génese Ilegal em Lisboa (AUGIs). Posto isto, procura-se entender qual o papel da casa nas necessidades sociais e culturais, em contraponto ao papel do espaço público coletivo, e a que necessidades devem estes dois tipos de espaços dar resposta. Conhecidas as realidades do lugar, desenvolve-se o estudo de um caso de referência relativo às favelas do Rio de Janeiro por se tratar de um caso extremo de segregação espacial e que, por isso, já foi olhado de várias formas e sobre o qual já foram feitas algumas experiências com diferentes programas postos em prática. A relação do poder público com as favelas já passou por várias fases, desde projectos de demolição até ao entendimento da cidade como um sistema diversificado do qual a favela é uma parte diferente de todas as outras, com particularidades únicas, e com um enorme potencial cultural.
Manuel Querino e a escrita da história no Brasil republicano
Authors: Pereira Paulo Marcos
Published: May 2021

O presente trabalho é uma reflexão sobre a escrita da História do Brasil nas primeiras décadas do século XX, tendo como foco a produção historiográfica do intelectual negro Manuel Raymundo Querino, reconhecido como o primeiro historiador negro a se dedicar a escrita da história do Brasil. Querino era baiano e viveu entre os anos de 1851 e 1923. Exerceu inúmeras funções e estabeleceu diversas relações com variados tipos de sujeitos sociais. Formado em desenho pela Escola de Belas Artes, Querino foi funcionário público, vereador, professor, esteve envolvido com o movimento operário, participou de irmandades e foi um dos membros fundadores do Instituto Geográfico Histórico da Bahia – IGHB. Em sua obra apresenta uma singular proposta de escrita da história do Brasil. No seu texto A Bahia de outrora, de 1909 faz críticas às mudanças promovidas pela implantação da República que não beneficia a diversos agentes sociais que foram marginalizados como os africanos e seus descendentes. No texto O colono preto como fator de civilização brasileira, escrito em 1918, defende que a formação da sociedade brasileira resulta principalmente do trabalho do “colono preto”, modo como se refere aos africanos escravizados no Brasil. Desse modo, defendemos a inserção de Manuel Querino entre os escritores de seu tempo como referência a História da Historiografia Brasileira.

POLITICAL PARTY INFORMATION SYSTEM (SIPOL) IN VERIFICATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES ELECTION PARTICIPANTS in 2019

ABSTRACT

SIPOL or Political Party Information System is a set of information systems and technology to support the work of Political Parties and Election Organizers in conducting registration, administrative research and factual verification of fulfilling the requirements of political parties to become Election participants. This paper aims to (1) describe the application of SIPOL during the verification of political parties participating in the 2019 Elections and (2) analyze the problems that arise in the verification of political parties participating in the 2019 Election and (3) find the best solution related to the problems they cause. This paper refers to the implementation of verification of political parties participating in the 2019 Election in Brebes Regency, through a documentary study of the results of verification of political parties in the KPU of Brebes Regency. The author's observations show that (1) a lot of data from members of political parties in SIPOL are not in accordance with the copies of KTA and KTP submitted, (2) many members of political parties from sampling results who do not acknowledge / support their political parties because they do not feel a member of the political parties and only know about them. at the time of factual verification by the KPU, (3) SIPOL operators of political parties at the central level did not delegate their authority to SIPOL operators at the district / city level in managing membership data.

Published: May 2021

Este artículo intenta establecer el desarrollo del trascendentalismo literario y cómo se manifiesta entre las islas de Cuba, República Dominica y Puerto Rico desde los años de 1927 hasta mediados de 1950. El trascendentalismo literario fue una manifestación que contempló diversas ideologías y posturas entre nuestras islas caribeñas. A pesar de que este movimiento literario fue uno breve no dejó de sentar las bases para que los escritores del sesenta y setenta crearan diversas visiones del mundo en su contexto ideológico y social de finales de siglo XX. El estudio de este movimiento debe estar presente entre las generaciones venideras por sus repercusiones trasatlánticas dentro de la cuenca caribeña y la creación de mejores marcadores literarios del archipiélago caribeño en su contexto social y humanitario del siglo XXI. El trascendentalismo involucra un trabajo mayor que no se ha realizado todavía dentro de la literatura caribeña.
