Published: November 2016

Karakterisasi morfometrik dan reproduksi induk ikan batak dan keturunannya yang dipelihara di kolam dan induk ikan batak yang dipelihara di keramba telah dilakukan. Karakterisasi morfometrik meliputi sirip perut, sirip dubur, sirip punggung, sirip ekor, sirip dada, sisik linea latelaris kiri, dan sisik linea lateris kanan. Karakterisasi reproduksi meliputi panjang dan bobot ikan pada saat matang gonad, diameter telur, jumlah telur per kg induk, indek ovosomatik, laju pembuahan, laju penetasan, waktu laten, lama penetasan, panjang larva setelah habis kuning telur dan jumlah larva per kg induk dari masing-masing populasi. Populasi ikan Tor soro dari Jawa Barat dan Sumatera Utara mempunyai karakteristik morfometrik yang sama. Induk ikan generasi pertama (F1) ikan batak yang berada di Cijeruk, Jawa Barat menghasilkan jumlah larva yang lebih besar (259 ± 58) ekor/kg induk dibandingkan induk tetuanya (190 ± 70) ekor/kg induk, sedangkan ikan dari Ambarita, Sumatera Utara belum dapat menghasilkan larva.Reproductive and morphometric characterization of Tor soro broodstocks and their descent reared in the pond and tor soro broodstock reared in the cage were conducted. The reproductive characterizations include the length and weight at the maturation stage, eggs diameter, number of eggs per kg body weight, index ovosomatic, fertilization rate, hatching rate, and number of larvae per kg body weight of broodstock. The morphometric characterizations include the total length, standard length, body hight, ration body hight/standard length, abdominal fin, anal fin, dorsal fin, tile fin, left lenea latelaris and right linea lateralis. Population of Tor soro from West Java and North Sumatra had the same morphometric characterization. The first generation of Tor soro in Cijeruk, West Java produced more larvae (259 ± 58) fish/kg than their parent (190 ± 70 ) fish/kg, while the fish from Ambarita, North Sumatra has not produced the larvae yet.

„Muzyka w katedrze na Wawelu w epoce średniowiecza” to cykl publikacji mających na celu ukazanie bogatego dziedzictwa liturgiczno-muzycznego, które przechowywane jest w wawelskim archiwum. Transkrypcje dawnych melodii, które są często zapisane notacją i tekstem mało czytelnym, mają na celu przepisanie tych melodii do notacji kwadratowej (tak zwanej watykańskiej) i w ten sposób zachęcić szersze grono wykonawców do sięgnięcia po ten repertuar. Oddajemy Państwu do rąk transkrypcje Lamentatione Iheremiae Prophete (Lamentacje Jeremiasza), będące częścią Matutinum tenebrarum (Ciemnych jutrzni) oraz dramat liturgiczny Visitaio sepulcri (Nawiedzenie grobu), rozgrywający się w trakcie poranka wielkanocnego przy pustym grobie. Każda z przedstawionych transkrypcji poprzedzona została opisem manuskryptu i zastosowanej w nim notacji, przedstawieniem problemów związanych z transkrypcją, wskazaniem proweniencji liturgicznej (konkretne nabożeństwo Wielkiego Tygodnia) oraz polskim tłumaczeniem tekstów.
A rigorous analytical model for shrinkage cracking of reinforced concrete
Authors: Ng Pui-Lam , Kwan Albert Kwok-Hung
Published: November 2016

Concrete shrinks as it dries. If its shrinkage movement is restrained, it can crack, causing serviceability and durability problems. To ensure satisfactory performance of a reinforced concrete (RC) structure, the shrinkage crack widths are generally controlled to within acceptable limits by providing steel reinforcement for crack control. However, due to unavoidable empiricism, the design guidelines given in the various design codes for computing the amount of crack-control steel are rather inconsistent. Moreover, the various existing models for prediction of crack widths do not agree with each other, indicating that the shrinkage cracking phenomenon is still far from fully understood. With the aim of resolving this problem, a rigorous analytical model for shrinkage cracking of RC is presented. The governing equations are first derived purely based on the mechanics of the steel bar–concrete interaction. The governing equations are then solved analytically without making any unjustified assumptions. Finally, the analytical model is validated through analysis of experimental results from the literature.

A Study of the Effects of Time Lag between Learners' Errors and Teachers' Feedback on the Depth of Vocabulary Knowledge
Authors: Yekta Razieh Rabbani , Dafe'ian Samaneh
Published: November 2016

The present study aims at studying the effect of immediate and delayed feedback on the depth of vocabulary knowledge. To this end, two classes were selected from Sokhansara institute of those who were studying at the intermediate level. But, to ensure homogeneity, an OPT was given based on which two groups were selected, one acting as the immediate feedback group (IFG) and the other as the delayed feedback group (DFG). In the next stage, a pretest which was adapted from Read’s Word Association Test was given to assess the students’ depth of vocabulary knowledge before treatment. After that, students in IFG received feedback over their lexical errors immediately in the presentation stages of the lessons, while in DFG, feedback was provided in the practice and production stages of the lessons. At the end of the semester, a parallel post test was given to assess the students’ depth of vocabulary knowledge. As to the analysis of the results, a paired sample Students’ T-Test was run on SPSS to compare the scores of participants in pretest and posttest within each group. An independent sample Students’ T-Test was also run between the post test results to check the differences between two experimental groups. The findings of this research indicate that using delayed feedback has a positive impact on enhancing the depth of vocabulary knowledge of EFL students at intermediate level.
Cultural Conceptualizations, Semantics and Translation
Authors: Kianbakht Sajjad
Published: November 2016

Cultural conceptualizations are ‘negotiated’ and ‘renegotiated’ across time and space by different generations of speakers so that the members of the group are able to think, so to speak, in one mind (Sharifian, 2008b). What helps us to go beyond the linguistic barriers and consequently incorporate cognitive and cultural conceptualizations to the study of translation is the notion of Frame Semantics Theory which itself is a nascent approach in Translation Studies. Using Rojo’s analytical model (2002b), which focuses on the frames and cultural conceptualizations activated in the humorous texts, this research investigates certain translation problems that may occur in translating cultural elements of the book; "Funny in Farsi: a Memoir of Growing up Iranian in America" by Firoozeh Dumas (2003). Furthermore, the present research considers and examines several translation challenges under six sub-frames: Visual Frames, Situational Frames, Text type frames, Social frames, Institutional frames, and Generic frames. Upon analysis of the text and its corresponding translation, 70 problematic cases were detected, analyzed and then classified according to Rojo’s model (2002).

Published: November 2016

The present study set out to investigate the effect of intervening scaffolding strategies on Iranian EFL learners’ speaking ability. To do so, a sample of 60 Iranian EFL learners were selected based on their performance on Oxford Placement Test (OPT). The participants were then randomly assigned to two equal groups of experimental and control. The experimental group was taught speaking through intervening scaffolding by providing flexible opportunities for learners to use their knowledge, skills, and strategies in different contexts and for different purposes. Control group received routine techniques of speaking instruction. Based on the statistical results of the independent sample t-test, intervening scaffolding strategies had been proved to be successful in enhancing speaking ability of EFL learners
Laparoscopic appendectomy during pregnancy: hemostasiological aspects
Authors: Petrashenko I I
Published: November 2016

Aim. To study and evaluate changes in blood coagulation system in laparoscopic treatment of acute appendicitis in different pregnancy terms.Methods. In a conducted study сhanges in blood coagulation system were evaluated in 75 pregnant women in different gestation periods who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. Gestational age was from 4-5 to 35-36 weeks. Interventions were performed with the use of endovideosurgical complex «Olympus» OTV-SC. The pressure of carbon dioxide in the abdominal cavity was within 10-12 mm Hg. The indicators of blood coagulation system were evaluated with the use of automatic coagulometer «Amelung Coagulometr KC 4A» (Trinity Biotech, Ireland). For the diagnosis of intravascular coagulation D-dimer level in blood plasma was evaluated with immunoturbodimetric assay with latex-test «Tina-quant а D-Dimer» («Roche Diagnostics», USA) in the system «Roche/Hitachi Сobas c 6000». Fibrinolytic activity was evaluated with the use of M.A. Kotovschikova and B.I. Kuznik’s method.Results. It was found that changes in hemostasis system during laparoscopic treatment of acute appendicitis in pregnant women indicate significant increase of blood coagulation potential, both before and after laparoscopic appendectomy. This state of blood clotting system can be regarded as adequate adaptive response to aggression, designed to reduce probable or actual bleeding.Conclusion. Hemostasiologic indices during laparoscopic treatment of acute appendicitis in pregnancy are characterized by a significant intensification of the blood coagulation potential, however activation of the regulatory mechanisms of blood coagulation during endovideosurgical intervention is within the physiological norms; these changes are minimal, and laparoscopic appendectomy is the method of choice for pregnant women in different periods of gestation.

Authors: Garipova A F , Sayfutdinov R G , Vagapova G R
Published: November 2016

Aim. To determine the prognostic value of blood glucose level changes in patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes from the perspective of their impact on the duration of QT interval and type of cardiac arrhythmias.Methods. The study involved 101 patients of 50 years or older with a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease (stable angina, II-III functional class) and healthy volunteers. Synchronous monitoring of ECG and blood glucose measuring were performed in all surveyed patients.Results. The average duration of QT interval in patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes was significantly higher than in patients with coronary heart disease without diabetes and in the control group. Glycaemia less than 4 mmol/L and more than 12 mmol/L and high glycemic variability (mean amplitude of glycemic excursion more than 5 mmol/L) increase the risk of QT prolongation and dangerous ventricular arrhythmias. In patients with ischemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) of high grade are detected more often compared to patients without diabetes mellitus and healthy individuals. In patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes with episodes of glycaemia below 4 mmol/L prevalence of PVCs of high grade is higher than that of patients with glycaemia 4,1 to 11,9 mmol/L.Conclusion. Patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes with blood glucose levels below 4 mmol/L and above 12 mmol/L and high glycemic variability have an increased risk of arrhythmogenic sudden cardiac death.

Published: November 2016

Aim. Evaluate the data of elastography characteristic for the first signs of transient ischemia of lower limbs in diabetes foot syndrome.Methods. In Kazan city clinical hospital №7 measurement of Young’s modulus of elasticity was performed in 12 patients with transient ischemia in diabetic foot syndrome. The methods and assessment of parameters typical for soft tissues of lower limbs we have developed earlier (patent «Method of elastography diagnosis of tissue changes in diabetic foot syndrome»). Color duplex scan of the arteries was performed according to standard method with the use of 5 to 10 MHz linear array probe starting from distal parts of limbs. Measurement of ultrasound density was performed with the use of shear wave elastography with 4 to 15 MHz wide-band linear probe. All parameters were measured in real time mode.Results. Increase of elastomeric index (Young’s modulus of elasticity) to 23.74±2.34 kPa (93,49±1,26%) in the distal segment of the lower extremity (on the foot) is associated with development of transient disorders in the lower limbs in diabetic foot syndrome, which is not always detected with invasive methods of diagnosis.Conclusion. Shear wave elastography is recommended for emergency medical care in diabetic foot syndrome; patients after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes should dynamically monitor microcirculation of lower limbs that will decrease the risk of need of surgical treatment.

Aim. To study β-adrenoreactivity of the cell membrane in patients with different variants of heart failure in association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods. 120 heart failure patients including 68 of them who suffer from concominant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were evaluated. Assessment of clinical features of heart failure, patients’ quality of life and study of β-adrenoreactivity were performed.Results. Adrenoreactivity of an organism in heart failure and concominant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was 2 times higher and was 55.4±18.8 U and in heart failure only it was 29.4±8.5 U. Intensification of β-adrenoreactivity was found to be proportional to worsening of clinical features of chronic heart failure in all patients that was more prominent in patients with pulmonary disease. Responders with heart failure in association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had higher values of β-adrenoreactivity of cell membranes more frequently.Conclusion. The results of our investigation confirm increased activity of sympathetic system in heart failure and concominant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that worsens clinical manifestations of heart failure.

Published: November 2016

Aim. To study the peculiarities of placental structure and the state of utero-placental and fetal-placental blood flow in fetal growth restriction.Methods. A prospective study of 50 pregnant women admitted to the department of pathology of pregnancy with fetal growth restriction followed by a retrospective analysis of the obtained data considering risk factors and clinical course of the pregnancy and the results of morphological examination of afterbirth. For the diagnosis of fetal growth restriction ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound of blood flow in the uterine arteries and umbilical artery, and cardiotocography were performed.Results. The most informative sonographic markers of the critical state of the fetus in case of fetal growth restriction are abnormal blood flow indicators of «mother-placenta-fetus» system (critical blood flow disorder in uterine arteries and umbilical artery grade III, blood flow disorder in the medial cerebral artery of the fetus), and also significant hypamnion and changes in placenta combined with poor results of cardiotocography. Obtained data correlated with the results of morphological examination of aftherbirth. Impaired blood flow and significant hypamnion on ultrasound indicate acute placental insufficiency, suggest poor fetal condition, including antenatal death. Petrifaction, infarction and calcification on ultrasound point to chronic placental insufficiency and compensated fetal condition, and they correlate with more favorable perinatal outcomes.Conclusion. The findings of the study demonstrated that ultrasound, Doppler, clinical laboratory and subsequent morphological examination provide very detailed information about the state of placental structure and need for urgent care.

Published: November 2016

Recent publications devoted to the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of cardiogenic syncope were reviewed. The analysis of the current state of views on a pathogenesis, classification and features of a clinical picture of syncope of cardiogenic etiology was performed. Cardiogenic syncope has a 20-30% mortality. The highest risk is characteristic for the age more than 45 years, heart failure, history of ventricular tachycardia, nonspecific changes on ECG. With three and more risk factors the probability of a sudden cardiac death within the next year can reach 80%. The cause of cardiogenic syncope is reduction of cerebral blood flow. Cardiogenic syncope can be caused by a fall in blood pressure, cardiac output and total peripheral vascular resistance. Cardiogenic syncope may be the result of bradycardia and asystole, supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia, pulmonary embolism, dissecting aortic aneurysm, structural defects and cardiac anomalies, presence of myxoma or mobile atrial clot, cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, acute myocardial ischemia, abnormalities of the coronary arteries, dysfunction of prosthetic valve and cardiac pacemakers. In the diagnosis of cardiogenic syncope anamnesis and data received on physical examination are important. Instrumental examination should include electrocardiography, detection of comorbid conditions, exercise stress tests such as cycle ergometry or treadmill test, Holter ECG monitor, echocardiography, and coronary angiography for suspected acute myocardial ischemia.
Possibility of reducing blood loss during and after multiple birth
Authors: Akhmadeev N R , Fatkullin F I , Khayrullina G R , Bystritskaya N Yu
Published: November 2016

Multiple pregnancy and multiple birth are pathologic obstetric situations. Recently occurrence of multiple pregnancy has increased due to increase of the age at planned pregnancy and widespread use of assisted reproductive technologies including in vitro fertilization. As a result clinicians practicing in obstetrics face more frequent multiple pregnancies, mostly twins. Risk of bleeding during multiple pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period is estimated as high and is two times higher than in single pregnancy. The main causes of postpartum hemorrhage in multiple pregnancy are uterine hypotony or atony. Hemostatic changes occurring during pregnancy, unspecific and specific complications of multiple pregnancy are important as well. Correct management of the second period of a multiple vaginal delivery allows reducing the volume of blood loss. Method of fetal extraction in the intact amniotic sac allows reducing the influence of external factors on neonate’s head and the volume of blood loss during Cesarean section. Blood loss reducing is caused by amniotic sac compressing the vessels and therefore decreasing bleeding from the uterine incision for the time enough to extract the fetuses. Active management of the third period of vaginal delivery and afterbirth extraction with traction of umbilical cord during Cesarean section are crucial. Suggested regimens of uterotonics (oxytocin, carbetocin, misoprostol) and antifibrinolytics (tranexamic acid) reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
Acute debut of neuroacanthocytosis in clinical practice
Authors: Zagidullina K L , Popova N A
Published: November 2016

Neuroacanthocytosis is a rare autosomal dominant disease, which in its clinical manifestation is characterized by choreiform hyperkinesis, mental and cognitive disorders, signs of polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy, and the basis of the disease is presence of modified erythrocytes (acanthocytes) in peripheral blood. The disease is characterized by autosomal dominant type of inheritance (the gene was mapped on chromosome 9q21), sporadic cases are possible. Description of a clinical case of a 63-year old patient with neuroacanthocytosis delivered by an ambulance with a preliminary diagnosis of stroke is provided. The patient complained of severe general fatigue, whole body shivering, and involuntary compulsive uncontrollable movements in the limbs, body, and face. The patient noted changes in her voice, probably due to compulsive movements of her tongue, lightheadedness, and shaky walk. Almost all physical and laboratory findings were within normal. Taking into account acuteness of the disease, its attack at the time of hypertensive emergency and patient’s age, circular cause was suggested, computed tomography of the brain and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. The results of neuroimaging ruled out the pathology of cerebral circulation. Ultrasound of neck vessels revealed nothing abnormal. Purposeful repeated blood analysis revealed that 85% of erythrocytes were acanthocytes and after that the correct diagnosis was made. The peculiarities of this clinical case are acute manifestation of symptoms and relatively late debut of the disease.

Published: November 2016

Acute bacterial sialadenitis is observed in common pathologies accompanied by food intake disruption leading to cachexy. Generally, detection of acute bacterial sialadenitis is not a challenge. But diagnosis of acute serous bacterial sialadenitis causes difficulties with differentiating it from exacerbation of chronic parenchymal and intersticial sialadenitis, especially at the early stages of these diseases, as well as from acute viral sialadenites, for example acute influenzal sialadenitis. We present a clinical case of a patient with acute serous sialadenitis who had the extended evaluation only after unsuccessful course of conventional conservative treatment to find out the main cause of the disease that led to delayed diagnosis and prolonged hospital stay.
Linear Hypergraph Edge Coloring - Generalizations of the EFL Conjecture
Authors: Faber Vance
Published: November 2016

Motivated by the Erdos-Faber-Lovász (EFL) conjecture for hypergraphs, we consider the edge coloring of linear hypergraphs. We discuss several conjectures for coloring linear hypergraphs that generalize both EFL and Vizing's theorem for graphs. For example, we conjecture that in a linear hypergraph of rank 3, the edge chromatic number is at most 2 times the maximum degree unless the hypergraph is the Fano plane where the number is 7. We show that for fixed rank sufficiently large and sufficiently large degree, the conjectures are true.

Este texto faz um debate teórico sobre o conceito de “Território”. Aplica-o à luz das densas transformações técnicas, políticas e econômicas no alvorecer do século XXI. Parte do entendimento do território como materialização das relações sociais sobre o espaço geográfico e que este não pode ser tomado como mero receptáculo do fazer humano, mas como elemento fundamental na dinâmica social. O escrito que segue, após o debate conceitual proposto, faz uma breve contextualização do espaço mundial ao final do século XX e início do XXI. Trata das repercussões da dinâmica sócio-político-espacial atual na escala do exercício da cidadania nos territórios intra-urbanos e finaliza observando seis desdobramentos imprescindíveis na tentativa de apreensão das atuais relações territoriais que se impõem à contemporaneidade.

PHYTOGEOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF BRAANCAMP FREIRE GARDEN (LISBON)- Braancamp Freire garden is a garden that was built at the turn of the century in a large square called Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, in the center of Lisbon. All the year round it is visited and used by the residents of the surrounding areas, because is sheltered in winter, and cool and full of shade, in summer. 76% of its 104 cultivated taxa are evergreen and are included in 52 families. The floristic listing of the garden is located at the end of the text. For a small square garden it presents a high value of floristic density - 46 taxa/ha, dominated by trees (43,3%). A few trees are considered individuals of public interest. The taxa of this garden originate in the 7 phytogeographical kingdoms and 13 regions; particularly frequent are those coming from the Mediterranean region (20%) and East Asia (China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, 20%). Hybrids and cultivars are also frequent (16,4%), as it occurs in other modern gardens.

SCIENTIFIC TRAVELS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGRAPHICAL IDEAS IN PORTUGAL DURING THE 19TH CENTURY - The main goal of this paper is to establish the relationship between scientists movements, the circulation of ideas and the appearance of some basic works for modern Portuguese geography, around 1870. The break between a purely descriptive geography and modern geography is traditionally situated in the 1870's. Perhaps it was prepared by the contacts established inside Europe between scientists. It seems that natural sciences, agronomy and forest science had leading roles in this process. On this subject, we will try to explore the official missions and the stay of portuguese students in Northern Europe. This way, we will be able to trace the contribution of the ideas of Bernardino de Barros Gomes, who contributed towards the development of geographic thought a long time before geography became a University institution.

ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY AND REGULATION THEORY - This article examines the relations between the economic geography of the 1990s and recent economic theories. After a presentation of the origins of the theory of regulation and convention theory, the relations between them and spatial analysis are outlined. The second part of the article develops a typology of contemporary research in spatial economics outlining the key features of the following concepts: industrial organisation, industrial district, network, governance and conventions. Finally it compares approaches which proceed respectively from analysis of the local and the global. The conclusion proposes a number of directions for research

La poiesis en la facilitación del aprendizaje para el uso de tic en educación superior
Authors: Padilla Beltran Jose Eduardo , Rincón Caballero Diego Armando , Lagos Sandoval José Arturo
Published: November 2016

En la actualidad, las universidades y demás instituciones de educación superior, han asumido el reto de ir integrando aspectos de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación para prestar atención al papel del estudiante como arquitecto de su propio aprendizaje. En ese sentido, la problemática de un modelo pedagógico coherente a estas prácticas emergentes, ha incentivado diversos estudios acerca de perspectivas pedagógicas flexibles que consideren los roles y funciones de los docentes y educandos para aproximarse al conocimiento de una forma significante. Por ello, el manuscrito presenta desde un enfoque cualitativo en relación a la teoría fundamentada, una interpretación de algunas posturas y reflexiones sobre la necesidad de una pedagogía flexible, sustentada en la posibilidad de un uso de las tecnologías educativas al servicio de una facilitación del aprendizaje con elementos creativos, participativos, crítico y axiológicos –poiesis-. En conclusión, se observa la incidencia de los roles y funciones del docente como aspecto a tratar para desarrollar este tipo de orientación pedagógica y la prioridad de incluir al alumno como epicentro de la triada universidad, sociedad, empresa.

Vancomycin is one of the ‘last-line’ classes of antibiotics used in the treatment of life-threatening infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Even though vancomycin was discovered in 1950s it was widely used after 1980s for the treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococci as prevalence of such strains were increased. However, currently it is evident that vancomycin resistant Staphylococcusaureusandvancomycin-resistant Enterococci have been developed as a result of various reasons including use of avaparcin, which is an analog of vancomycin, as feed additive in livestock. In present day context, more attention should be paid on prevention of emergence of resistance for the antibiotics in order to keep antibiotics effective. In order to prevent emergence of resistance, proper guidance for the responsible use of antimicrobials is indispensable. Therefore, almost all stakeholders who use antibiotics should have in depth understanding on the antibiotic they use. As such, it is imperative to be aware of the important aspects of vancomycin. In the present review, efforts have been made to discussthe pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, indications, emergence of resistance, control of resistance, adverse effects and alternative therapy for vancomycin.

Authors: Mansour Elie , El-Masri Firas
Published: November 2016

Case:

A 27-year-old immunocompromised man with Crohn disease presented with bilateral septic hip arthritis due toSalmonella entericaserotype Typhi. The diagnosis was confirmed by synovial membrane and effusion culture specimens that were obtained during arthroscopic debridement of both hips.

Conclusion:

Prolonged antimicrobial therapy, bilateral femoral head resection, and placement of cement spacers for 5 months, followed by bilateral total hip arthroplasty, was a radical and effective treatment for a patient with Crohn disease and bilateral Salmonella septic arthritis of the hip.
A comfortable awake tracheostomy in the high risk patient
Authors: Same Melinda , King Hannah , Doyle Patrick
Published: November 2016

We describe the case of a 56‐year‐old male presenting with intermittent airway obstruction due to a massive base of tongue tumour and the challenges the arise in order to secure a safe airway for tumour excision. This was a high‐risk case in a patient who we believed required an awake tracheostomy. We first undertook cricothyroid puncture with a Ravussin cannula to enable oxygenation of the patient whilst sedation was administered in order for the patient to better tolerate tracheostomy insertion. The outcome was improved patient comfort and cooperation in placement of the awake tracheostomy.
Prone positioning of pregnant patients for lumbar spinal surgery
Authors: Primrose Alyson , Roy Nithin , Teo Mario , Kanagalingam Malinin
Published: November 2016

We describe the safe use of a modified Allen® table to place two parturients in the prone position for surgery under general anaesthesia. Both patients were in the third trimester of pregnancy and presented with cauda equina syndrome requiring urgent surgical decompression. A modification of the Allen® spinal table allowed safe prone positioning with minimal maternal or fetal compromise whilst ensuring adequate surgical access to the lumbar spine. We have shown that patients in advanced pregnancy needing surgical intervention can be safely anaesthetised and positioned prone for their spinal surgery following careful planning and multidisciplinary teamwork.
Successful fibreoptic intubation via a laryngeal mask airway after failed extubation in an infant
Authors: Inan Gozde , Ozlu Onur
Published: November 2016

We report the case of a 9‐month old boy that experienced complete airway obstruction following

tracheal extubation after cleft palate reconstruction. Reintubation of the trachea was possible using a fibreoptic bronchoscope through the laryngeal mask airway (LMA).

As anaesthetists, we are more familiar with difficult intubation situations, however difficulties with extubation are also common and experience is required especially in children. We discuss several techniques for tracheal intubation using a fibrescope through an LMA and performed a literature review.
Sugammadex rescue in a ‘can intubate but can't ventilate’ scenario
Authors: Low Adam , Irving Richard , Sharma Neil , Bergmans Elonka
Published: November 2016

We present a case of a 7 year old female who was admitted to hospital with a post tonsillectomy haemorrhage 6 days after an elective day case tonsillectomy for recurrent tonsillitis. Following tracheal intubation the patients lungs' were almost impossible to ventilate due to blood clots within the trachea that could not be removed with suctioning. Reversal of the effects of rocuronium with sugammadex combined with lightening of anaesthesia resulted in a return of spontaneous ventilation and the cough relex, which proved to be life saving for this patient. Two large blood clots were expelled through the tracheal tube, clearing the airway. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed no further distal blood clots or tracheal obstruction. Bleeding from the inferior tonsillar artery was identified and treated. The patient made a full recovery and was discharged home 3 days later.
Atención a las personas con discapacidad en la región de Piura.
Authors: Caparrós-Civera Neus , Raya-Diez Esther
Published: November 2016

El artículo recoge el camino recorrido por un proyecto de cooperación sobre las personas con discapacidad en la región de Piura. Se presenta haciendo referencia a dos movimientos físicos, el de rotación y el de traslación, como figuras de referencia que nos sirven para enmarcar todas aquellas acciones que se llevaron a cabo, antes, durante y después de la estancia. La principal razón para emprender el proyecto era la motivación existente que brinda la propia concepción del trabajo social como disciplina comprometida con la realidad de aquellas personas menos favorecidas socialmente. El proyecto aquí expuesto responde a la inquietud de visibilizar a un colectivo oculto en la realidad estudiada, las personas con discapacidad, con el anhelo de que acciones como estas ayuden a que se emprendan más dentro y fuera del territorio que favorezcan su desarrollo y bienestar.
