Published: May 2020

Introduction. Nowadays, in front of large cities, there is an acute problem for finding ways of environmentally safely dispose of accumulated sewage sludge and the possibility of its use. The most profitable way to utilize sewage sludge is to use them as organic fertilizers in agricultural production due to the high content of biogenic elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and organic substances in their composition. However, the presence of heavy metals, pathogens, and other toxicants necessitates the study at the regional level the possibility of using these sediments as fertilizers. In each specific case, it is necessary to apply a scientific approach to the use of sewage sludge, since their composition is characterized by a qualitative and quantitative variation of chemical compounds. The purpose of the study was a hygienic justification for the possibility of using sludge for wastewater treatment from the municipal facilities in agricultural production as an organic fertilizer. Material and methods. The object of the study was sludge after treatment with flocculants and centrifugation and sludge stored on the sites of Lviv municipal facilities for 1, 6 and 18 months. In the experiment, the distribution of sludge components in the “plant-soil” dynamic system, as well as the degree of their accumulation in test plants, was determined. Quantitative determination of the of chemical elements content in samples of sludge and phytomass was carried out by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results. The effectiveness of the use of sludge from the municipal facilities for wastewater treatment in agricultural production as an organic fertilizer has been studied. It was found that the sludge dose of 50 tons/ha, using immediately after centrifuge, can not be used in the fields as a fertilizer. This dose caused a high phytotoxic effect on plants. The dose of used sludge (30 tons/ha after 1.5 years of maturing on silty areas) had a less pronounced phytotoxic effect, but the fact of fluorine, lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury and manganese translocation from soil into the plants in high quantities was observed. This dose also cannot be used in the fields as a fertilizer. The use of a smaller dose should be justified by additional experiments.

Introduction. A possible alternative to traditional methods of the treatment with chemical disinfectants are effective and safe preparations based on strains of bacteria Bacillus subtilis. The development of effective hygiene products based on Bacillus subtilis bacteria strains for air sanitation, household items, and rooms that do not adversely affect the body in the presence of humans, animals, and birds is an urgent task of sanitation and hygiene. Material and methods. Suspensions of an equal combination of the bacterial strains Bacillus subtilis TNP-3 and Bacillus subtilis TNP-5 were added to a solution of bicarbonate and sodium chloride. The strains were isolated from the permafrost soils of Yakutia, certified and deposited in the All-Russian collection of microorganisms used in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine (VGNKI, Moscow). The bactericidal activity of the «Probiodes 3 + 5» solutions was studied by the method of “coarse calico tests”. As test cultures there was used 2 billion suspension of diurnal cultures of Str. equi H-34 and Sal. abortus equi BN-12. The effectiveness of sanitization was taken into account according to the level of bacterial contamination - the number of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (KMAFAnM) on the skin of the nipples of the udder. Results. Reliable disinfection of coarse calico tests contaminated with Str. equi H-34, was established with the use of «Probiodez 3 + 5» (5x10 8 CFU / ml) for 6 hours exposure. By increasing the dose of B. subtilis in the solution «Probiodes 3 + 5» to (1.0 × 109 CFU / ml), there was reliable disinfection of coarse calico tests contaminated with Sal. abortus equi BN-12, exposure 6 hours. The drug «Probiodes 3 + 5» helps to reduce the total bacterial contamination and subclinical mastitis, effective for sanitary-hygienic treatment in dairy cattle breeding. Conclusion. The results of the studies allow making a conclusion that the bacterial strains B. subtilis TNP-3 and B. subtilis TNP-5 are promising for the development of effective, safe hygienic and sanitizing agents for widespread use.)

Introduction. The optimal physical activity of schoolchildren ensures adequate physical development, considered as the totality of the morphological and functional properties of the body that characterize the process of its growth and maturation at each age interval. Main objective of research. To determine the values of individual accumulative risks of impairment of schoolchildren’s health components depending on the level of the physical activity and develop recommendations for their reduction. Material and methods. The study involved 709 schoolchildren aged 12-14 years. To solve the tasks there were used hygienic methods with an assessment of the physical mode, training mode, indicators of the functional capabilities of schoolchildren; anthropometric methods; information and analytical methods and statistical methods, including associative analysis. The level of physical activity of schoolchildren was classified according to daily energy expenditure, determined by summing energy expenditure across all categories of physical activity. Result and discussion. Individual accumulative risks of schoolchildren’s health problems were shown to be elevated in all components of health with an increase in the deviation of the level of physical activity from the optimum, and the time factor has a significant effect on the growth of individual accumulative risks of schoolchildren’s health problems. In order to reduce the likelihood of the formation of health disorders in schoolchildren, it has been established that the identification of physical activity impairments and the application of corrective measures should be carried out as early as possible - in the period up to 6 months from the moment when violations were detected. In drawing up a plan of corrective measures for the formation of an optimal level of average daily workload for school-age children, the categories of physical activity outside the normal range require a reduction to the recommended intensity and duration according to the gender and age. Associative rules have been obtained that allow identifying the causes of the disturbance of the structure of physical activity and make adjustments taking into account the relationship between categories of physical activity. The optimization was achieved by reducing the duration of time spent on various categories of physical activity to the recommended one. Conclusion. Application of the results of this study will reduce individual accumulative risks of violations of schoolchildren’s health, preserve the health of the younger generation, and provide optimal personal and physical development.

Published: May 2020

Introduction. The relevant direction of studying the physical development of children and adolescents is the study of the dynamics of changes anthropometric indices from generation to generation. Systematic monitoring of regular indices in different regions is necessary. Material and methods. A one-step study of anthropometric indices of 2990 healthy boys of East Kazakhstan aged from 6 to 17 years was carried out in 2016. Children were clustered into age groups and ethnicity according to the principles of anthropology. The research of anthropometric indices was performed according to generally accepted methods in the morning. The chest circumference was measured during the pause period. The values of anthropometric indices of schoolchildren in 2016 were compared with the values of similar indices of children in 1986. Microsoft Office Excel 2007 was used to statistically process the data. Results. In modern boys of the Kazakh nationality there is a harmonization of growth and weight indices. The maximum weight gain and chest circumference increase occurs at the same time as the “growth jump,” while 1986 schoolchildren had an average annual body weight gain one year late after the start of the rapid growth period. In Russian boys born in 1986 the maximum weight gain is established at 14 years, and in modern children - at the age of 13 years. Conclusions. A comparative analysis of the multi-year dynamics of children’s anthropometric indices revealed acceleration trends reliably confirmed by the higher values of these indices in modern boys compared to their 1986 peers.There have been established national characteristics in the physical development of boys.

One of the most important factors affecting the health of modern youth is nutrition. Taking into account the timeliness of this problem, a research aimed at improving the quality of nutrition for students of higher education institutions of various fields of study (Ufa, the Republic of Bashkortostan) was executed. A software directed at studying the nutritional composition of the diet of students was developed, registered and tested. The development and implementation of the program were carried out taking into account regional features of nutrition of the population of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The food ration of university students of various fields of study was also evaluated according to food groups. The insufficiency of the daily ration based on a number of indics was revealed (according to nutritional composition and food products. The nutritional status of students according to the level of insufficiency of daily intake of nutrients in order to identify the degree of risk of abnormalities in the state of health development was evaluated also. According to the document of the Government of the Russian Federation “Fundamentals of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of healthy nutrition of the population for the period until 2020”, implementation the development of a set of measures aimed at reducing the prevalence of diseases associated with nutrition is one of the main directions of the state policy in the field of healthy nutrition. In this regard, a conceptual medical-pedagogical model aimed at forming a system of values in relation to healthy lifestyle among students was developed. Currently, there was executed an evaluation of the effectiveness of this model in the educational process of the M. Akmulla Bashkir State Pedagogical University. There was also been studied content of macro- and microelements in the venous blood of the students based on the changes in the quality of nutrition. There was also conducted analysis of hygienic conditions of students’ educational environment of leading universities in Ufa (the Republic of Bashkortostan).

Authors: Palacios Arenas Martín Oswaldo , Terrones Saldívar Ma. del Carmen
Published: May 2020

Introducción: las malformaciones congénitas (MC) son defectos estructurales, morfológicos, funcionales de uno o varios órganos o zonas más extensas del organismo. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estima una prevalencia internacional de 3-5%. Cifras nacionales 2010 ubican a Aguascalientes con la tasa más alta de MC (187/10,000 nacimientos). Objetivo general: determinar la prevalencia de MC en recién nacidos de madres que residen en el estado de Aguascalientes. Material y métodos: estudio observacional, retrospectivo y transversal. Universo: recién nacidos vivos de 22 a 42 semanas de gestación y/o con peso  ≥ 500 g con diagnósticos de una o más MC registrados en el certificado de nacimiento entre enero 2008 a diciembre 2017. Resultados: se registraron 267,489 recién nacidos vivos. La prevalencia de MC fue 2.1% (5595) con una tasa de 209.1/ 10,000 nacidos vivos. El sistema osteomuscular fue el más afectado (39.3%). Individualmente, el testículo no descendido fue la MC más frecuente (14.2%). La prevalencia de MC por municipio de residencia presentó asociación estadísticamente significativa (p<0.01), siendo El Llano (2.9%) y Aguascalientes (2.4%) los que presentaron mayor frecuencia de MC. Conclusión: la prevalencia de MC identificada fue menor a los estándares internacionales de 3%, pero superior a los reportes nacionales de 0.7%. El sistema más afectado por MC fue similar a reportes nacionales previos. Se debe interpretar cautelosamente los resultados por un posible subregistro en el sistema de certificados de nacimiento; sin embargo, es el instrumento reconocido por el INEGI para establecer las tasas de eventos perinatales.

The goal of the World Kidney Day 2020 (WKD) is “the promotion of public health by ensuring universal, equitable and sustainable access to care, making access to health for all people and social categories equitable”. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a complex and “demanding” health problem for patients and professionals, particularly in the more advanced stages of the disease. In addition to factors such as the so-called systemic conditions and risk factors, sex-related factors intervene in women, which can further complicate the CKD trend. For these reasons, one of the objectives of the World Kidney Day is that prevention and early treatment are included in the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and that common strategies are implemented to promote awareness of this pathology. The woman has always played a central role in the “coordination” of family life and “taking care”, a role transversal to the different ethnic groups, as evidenced also by the data relating to living kidney donation. This article gives a reflection on some issues related to prevention and treatment of CKD from a female perspective, such as what strategies to identify to implement prevention in the family starting from nutrition, such as the advice for the preparation of a diet plan respectful of the traditions of the country of origin, the identification and treatment of risk factors in order to implement strategies aimed at prevention dedicated to the female world and which style distinguishes the female approach to care | (Gender_nephrology)

Concrete is one of the most commonly used materials in the construction of coastal and marine infrastructure despite the well known environmental impacts which include a high carbon footprint and high alkalinity (~pH 13). There is an ongoing discussion regarding the potential positive effects of lowered concrete pH on benthic biodiversity, but this has not been investigated rigorously. Here, we designed a manipulative field experiment to test whether carbonated (lowered pH) concrete substrates support greater species richness and abundance, and/or alter community composition, in both temperate and tropical intertidal habitats. We constructed 192 experimental concrete tiles, half of which were carbonated to a lower surface pH of 7-8 (vs. control pH of >9), and affixed them to seawalls in the United Kingdom and Singapore. There were 2 sites per country, and 6 replicate tiles of each treatment were collected at 4 time points over a year. Overall, we found no significant effect of lowered pH on the abundance, richness, or community assemblage in both countries. Separate site- and month-specific generalised linear models (GLMs) showed only sporadic effects: i.e. lowered pH tiles had a small positive effect on early benthic colonisation in the tropics but this was later succeeded by similar species assemblages regardless of treatment. Thus, while it is worth considering the modification of concrete from an environmental/emissions standpoint, lowered pH may not be a suitable technique for enhancing biodiversity in the marine built environment.

High-affinity monoamine transporters are targets for prescribed medications and stimulant drugs of abuse. Therefore, assessing monoamine transporter activity for candidate medications and newly-emerging drugs of abuse provides essential information for industry, academia, and public health. Radiotracer binding and uptake inhibition are the gold standard assays for determining drug–transporter interaction profiles. The combined results from such assays yield a unique biochemical fingerprint for each compound. Over time, different assay methods have been developed to assess transporter activity, and the comparability of data across various assay platforms remains largely unclear. Here, we compare the effects of six well-established stimulants in two different cell-based uptake inhibition assays, one method using adherent cells and the other using suspended cells. Furthermore, we compare the data from transfected cell lines derived from different laboratories and data reported from rat synaptosomes. For transporter inhibitors, IC50 values obtained by the two experimental methods were comparable, but using different transfected cell lines yielded disparate results. For transporter substrates, differences between the two cell lines were less pronounced but the drugs displayed different inhibition potencies when evaluated by the two methods. Our study illustrates the inherent limitations when comparing transporter inhibition data from different laboratories and stresses the importance of including appropriate control experiments with reference compounds when investigating new drugs of interest.

Delegating home visits in general practice: a realist review on the impact on GP workload and patient care
Authors: Abrams Ruth , Wong Geoff , Mahtani Kamal R , Tierney Stephanie , Boylan Anne-Marie , Roberts Nia , Park Sophie
Published: May 2020

Background

UK general practice is being shaped by new ways of working. Traditional GP tasks are being delegated to other staff with the intention of reducing GPs’ workload and hospital admissions, and improving patients’ access to care. One such task is patient-requested home visits. However, it is unclear what impact delegated home visits may have, who might benefit, and under what circumstances.

Aim

To explore how the process of delegating home visits works, for whom, and in what contexts.

Design and setting

A review of secondary data on home visit delegation processes in UK primary care settings.

Method

A realist approach was taken to reviewing data, which aims to provide causal explanations through the generation and articulation of contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes. A range of data has been used including news items, grey literature, and academic articles.

Results

Data were synthesised from 70 documents. GPs may believe that delegating home visits is a risky option unless they have trust and experience with the wider multidisciplinary team. Internal systems such as technological infrastructure might help or hinder the delegation process. Healthcare professionals carrying out delegated home visits might benefit from being integrated into general practice but may feel that their clinical autonomy is limited by the delegation process. Patients report short-term satisfaction when visited by a healthcare professional other than a GP. The impact this has on long-term health outcomes and cost is less clear.

Conclusion

The delegation of home visits may require a shift in patient expectation about who undertakes care. Professional expectations may also require a shift, having implications for the balance of staffing between primary and secondary care, and the training of healthcare professionals.

Background

Global policy recommendations suggest a task-shifted model of post-diagnostic dementia care, moving towards primary and community-based care. It is unclear how this may best be delivered.

Aim

To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of primary care-based models of post-diagnostic dementia care.

Design and setting

A systematic review of trials and economic evaluations of post-diagnostic dementia care interventions where primary care was substantially involved in care plan decision making.

Method

Searches were undertaken of MEDLINE, PsychINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CINAHL (from inception to March 2019). Two authors independently critically appraised studies and inductively classified interventions into types of care models. Random effects meta-analysis or narrative synthesis was conducted for each model where appropriate.

Results

From 4506 unique references and 357 full texts, 23 papers were included from 10 trials of nine interventions, delivered in four countries. Four types of care models were identified. Primary care provider (PCP)-led care (n= 1) led to better caregiver mental health and reduced hospital and memory clinic costs compared with memory clinics. PCP-led care with specialist consulting support (n= 2) did not have additional effects on clinical outcomes or costs over usual primary care. PCP–case management partnership models (n= 6) offered the most promise, with impact on neuropsychiatric symptoms, caregiver burden, distress and mastery, and healthcare costs. Integrated primary care memory clinics (n= 1) had limited evidence for improved quality of life and cost-effectiveness compared with memory clinics.

Conclusion

Partnership models may impact on some clinical outcomes and healthcare costs. More rigorous evaluation of promising primary care-led care models is needed.
On Teaching the SNA at Economic Universities
Authors: Ivanov Yu. N. , Masakova I. D.
Published: May 2020

The article considers the importance of studying the System of National Accounts (SNA) at economic universities for increasing knowledge on functioning economy at macro level and acquiring broad economic thinking skills. In this context, the article considers underlying SNA concepts, definitions, and classifications that determine the content of its key aggregates (GDP, GNI, National wealth and others). The article clarifies specific types of knowledge that can be obtained by studying the SNA. These pertain to the content of the economic process at the macro level, the role of economic transactions carried out by economic agents, measuring different aspects of the economic process, rates of economic growth, distribution and redistribution of incomes, transactions in financial instruments.
Geological correlation of magnetic susceptibility and profiles from Nordre Strømfjord, southern West Greenland
Authors: Nielsen Bo M. , Rasmussen Thorkild M.
Published: May 2020

The Palaeoproterozoic Nagssugtoqidian orogen is dominated by reworked Archaean gneisses with minor Palaeoproterozoic intrusive and supracrustal rocks. The Nagssugtoqidian orogen (Fig. 1) was the focus of regional geological investigations by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) in 2001 (van Gool et al. 2002, this volume). In conjunction with this project, geophysical studies in the inner part of Nordre Strømfjord, Kuup Akua and Ussuit were undertaken as part of the Survey’s mineral resource assessment programme in central West Greenland. The studies include geophysical modelling of airborne magnetic data, follow-up studies of aeromagnetic anomalies by magnetic ground surveying, and geostatistical treatment and integration of different geological, geophysical and geochemical data. The aim is to obtain an interpretation of the region in terms of both regional geological features and modelling of local features of relevance for the mineral resource assessment. This paper presents an account of the field work and some of the new data.
Kimberlites and other ultramafic alkaline rocks in the Sisimiut–Kangerlussuaq region, southern West Greenland

The alkaline province of southern West Greenland includes swarms of dykes described as kimberlites and lamproites (Larsen 1991), and these rock types are widely distributed in the Sisimiut–Sarfartoq–Kangerlussuaq region (Figs 1, 2). Kimberlites and lamproites are potential carriers of diamond, and since the description of the Sarfartoq carbonatite complex and the kimberlitic dykes related to this complex (Larsen 1980; Secher & Larsen 1980), the Sisimiut–Sarfartoq–Kangerlussuaq region has seen several campaigns of commercial diamond exploration. The latest and most persistent stage of exploration began in the mid-1990s and has continued to date, with varying intensity. Numerous reports of diamond-favourable indicator minerals from till sampling, finds of kimberlitic dykes, and recovery of actual diamonds from kimberlitic rocks have emerged since 1995 (Olsen et al. 1999). A drilling programme in late 2001 confirmed the unusually great length and width of a magnetic kimberlitic dyke (Ferguson 2001).

Today, Tamil Studies obtained evolution in multiple fields. These fields are mentioned in multiple departmental researchers and approaches. Narratology is a detailed explainary studies on Novels. This approach is already exists in 21st century onwards in developed countries. Similarly this approach is also followed by K.Panchangam and P.Maruthanayagam in Tamil. For example, Aatruppadai, Epic Literatures (Cillappathikaram, Manimekalai) and Ballads. Cirupaanaatruppadai is one of the Aatruppadai having 269 lines. It mentioned about Moovendar regime, Seven Chieftains Grants and Nalliyakkodan etc., Our aim is to use the Narratology Based Approach in Cirupaanaatruppadai.

Una visión peruana sobre los servicios de patología clínica: avances y agenda pendiente
Authors: Figueroa-Montes Luis Edgardo
Published: May 2020

Los países realizan muchos esfuerzos, para poder implementar los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible, en búsqueda de la cobertura universal de la salud. Sin embargo, el acceso o la oportunidad de los servicios de Patología Clínica de alta calidad y oportunos, son necesarios para respaldar los sistemas de atención médica que tienen la tarea de lograr estos objetivos. Este acceso es más difícil de lograr en los países de bajos y medianos ingresos. En este artículo especial, se realizó un análisis de la situación global y nacional de esta problemática, en esta especialidad médica. Se identifican las cuatro barreras clave para la provisión de servicios de calidad y óptimos: recursos humanos o capacidad de la fuerza laboral insuficiente, educación y capacitación inadecuada, infraestructura y equipamiento inadecuado, y calidad, normas y acreditación insuficientes.
Ampliación del tamizaje de errores innatos del metabolismo en Perú: reporte de caso con trastorno del metabolismo de cobalamina
Authors: Abarca-Barriga Hugo Hernán , Rodríguez Richard S.
Published: May 2020

El tamizaje neonatal de los errores innatos del metabolismo se instauró hace más de 50 años en el mundo. En Latinoamérica, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Chile, Brasil y Colombia han implementado esta política de salud pública de manera sostenida. La tecnología para detectar estas enfermedades ha ido progresando con un mejor costo/efectividad, haciendo que sea de acceso casi universal. Los trastornos del metabolismo intracelular de la cobalamina es un grupo heterogéneo clasificados en tres fenotipos bioquímicos. Reportamos al primer paciente en Perú con diagnóstico tardío de una variante homocigota c.394 C>T en el gen MMACHC, el cual pertenece al grupo de complementación cblC el cual produce aciduria metilmalónica y homocistinuria, caracterizado por talla baja, hipotonía, retraso del desarrollo psicomotor, convulsiones, anemia megaloblástica, trombocitopenia y neutropenia ondulantes; con homocisteína elevada, acidemia metilmalónica, y contradictoriamente aumento de vitamina B12 en sangre. Es importante el diagnóstico oportuno de enfermedades potencialmente tratables, evitando o disminuyendo la severidad del fenotipo, a través de la implementación de nuevas tecnologías en nuestro país.
Medidas de bioseguridad en la atención oftalmológica durante la pandemia de coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)

Published: May 2020

El examen físico oftalmológico actualmente es considerado como una práctica médica de alto riesgo por la posibilidad de contraer la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID- 19). Esta práctica se realiza en la lámpara de hendidura, lo cual involucra una proximidad física alrededor de 30 cm entre médico y paciente [1]. Se ha descrito que el virus se encuentra en secreciones como saliva, secreción nasal y lágrimas. Dada la cercanía, se recomienda que los médicos oftalmólogos realicen un correcto lavado de manos (antes y después de cada atención), usar mascarillas recomendadas (N95, FFP2, FFP3), guantes y lentes de protección, además de la bioseguridad utilizada por el paciente como el uso de mascarilla; ya que se ha encontrado material genético del virus por secuenciación molecular en la secreción lagrimal, existiendo el riesgo de contagio a través de la vía ocular [2-4]. Cabe señalar que el Dr. Li Wenliang, médico oftalmólogo, fue uno de los primeros en dar la alarma sobre esta epidemia, siendo su práctica médica un factor contribuyente a la infección y su posterior deceso [5].
