Evidence for a single mechanism gating perceptual and long-term memory information into working memory
Authors: Verschooren Sam , Kessler Yoav , Egner Tobias
Published: June 2020

An influential view of working memory (WM) holds that its’ contents are controlled by a selective gating mechanism that allows for relevant perceptual information to enter WM when opened, but shields WM contents from interference when closed. In support of this idea, prior studies using the reference-back paradigm have established behavioral costs for opening and closing the gate between perception and WM. WM also frequently requires input from long-term memory (LTM), but it is currently unknown whether a similar gate controls the selection of LTM representations into WM, and how WM gating of perceptual vs. LTM sources of information relate to each other. To address these key theoretical questions, we devised a novel version of the reference-back paradigm, where participants switched between gating perceptual and LTM information into WM. We observed clear evidence for gate opening and closing costs in both cases. Moreover, the pattern of costs associated with gating and source-switching indicated that perceptual and LTM information is gated into WM via a single gate, and rely on a shared source-selection mechanism. These findings extend current models of WM gating to encompass LTM information, and outline a new functional WM architecture.
Selecting a Within- or Between-Subject Design for Mediation: Validity, Causality, and Statistical Power
Authors: Montoya Amanda Kay
Published: June 2020

Researchers with mediation hypotheses must consider which design to use: within-subject or between-subject? In this paper, I argue that three factors should influence design choice: validity, causality, and statistical power. Threats to validity include carry-over effects, participant awareness, measurement, and more. Causality is a core element of mediation, and the assumptions required for causal inference differ between the two designs. Between-subject designs require more restrictive no-confounder assumptions, but within-subject designs require the assumption of no carry-over effects. Statistical power should be higher in within-subject designs, but the degree and conditions of this advantage are unknown for mediation analysis. A Monte Carlo simulation compares designs under a broad range of sample sizes, effect sizes, and correlations among repeated measurements. The results show within-subject designs require about half the sample size of between-subject designs to detect indirect effects of the same size, but this difference can vary with population parameters. I provide an empirical example and R script for conducting power analysis for within-subject mediation analysis. Researchers interested in conducting mediation analysis should not select within-subject designs merely because of higher power, but they should also consider validity and causality in their decision, both of which can favor between-subject designs.

State of formation of psychological health of students during training in establishments of higher education
Authors: Kostiuk Dmitry
Published: June 2020

Under the current conditions, the urgency of the problem of health is conditioned by the realities of life, because in recent times there have been rapid changes in the economic, political and socio-cultural life of the individual and society as a whole. In order for young people to be able to easily adapt to higher education institutions and realize themselves after their graduation, they must be healthy not only physically but also spiritually. That is why the basis of full-fledged personality development is psychological health. It is the psychological health of the individual - the optimal functioning of all mental structures necessary for the current life. It describes the person as a whole, has a relation to the motivational, cognitive and emotional-volitional spheres.The main criteria for psychological health are: adequate perception of the environment, conscious perpetration of deeds, activity, ability to work, purposefulness, ability to establish close contacts, full family life, feelings of affection and responsibility towards relatives, ability to compile and implement their life plan, orientation to self-development, integrity of the individual.In the development of the problem of psychological health should pay attention not only to the mental processes and properties of the psyche (they are more or less studied in psychology), but also on the mental states of a person experienced them in the process of life, taking into account their strength, frequency of repetitions, etc. p. In the context of the study, psychological health is seen as an element of a full-fledged human functioning, based on two levels: structural, content and functional.Structural-content analysis of psychological health reflects the vision of domestic psychologists about the structure of the human psyche, which is considered as an individual-personality, subject-person, individual-subject-personality, individual-personality-individuality, organism-individual-personality. The functional level studied by us in the psychological health of man is an integrative characteristic of human states in terms of efficiency, the activity carried out by him and involved in its implementation of the system according to the criteria of reliability and the internal price of activities. In studying the state of psychological health of modern students and their dynamics in the process of their study, it is necessary to consider the influence of a number of factors, which includes the complex as subjective (depending mainly on the students themselves) and objective (dependent on external circumstances) factors. Therefore, in order to determine the state of psychological health, we proposed the following factors of influence, namely: organization of the educational process, ability to study, social and living conditions, a new group of comrades, material well-being of students, support of the curator of the group.
Psychological rehabilitation of participants of anti-terrorist operation: mechanism of supply
Authors: Yasenchuk Yulianna
Published: June 2020

The article outlines the main aspects of provision of rehabilitation services for servicemen and participants in the antiterrorist operation. The concept of psychological rehabilitation in the context of a systematic approach is considered in details and its main features are formed. Special attention is paid to the study of previous work, to the mechanism of providing rehabilitation services to all servicemen. In the context of the current tasks, the legal base on this issue, the approved and priority initiatives was investigated. The most frequent distribution among the demobilized soldiers of antiterrorist operation is occupied by people with the main characteristics of post-traumatic stress disorder. The percentage correlation with such features in 2015-2017 was investigated and the main aspects of the mechanism of ensuring the full maintenance of social support were formed.Military actions and the conduct of the antiterrorist operation led to increase in the number of psychological stress disorders among the military. In the course of work we managed to find out that since the beginning of the antiterrorist operation and to date, the system of psychological rehabilitation of the military is gradually improving, but the question remains its effective functioning and compliance with world standards.After returning to a peaceful life, soldiers should be involved in rehabilitation activities and receive comprehensive complex rehabilitation in accordance with individual programs.The question was also raised on the issue of soldiers with post-traumatic stress, who had undergone rehabilitation and rehabilitation and required long-term social support. The most effective in reducing the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder is the integration of the soldiers’ negative experience in order to use it for personal growth, self-development, self-realization.
Psychosocial factors of development of a literary gifted personality
Authors: Hrechuha Irina
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of the psychosocial factors of development of a literary gifted personality.The article reveals the essence of such psychological categories as: «gifted personality», «age-related giftedness», «signs of giftedness» and «literary gifted personality». The diagnostic features of the biographical interview, as a method of examining of literary gifted personality have been analyzed. While exploring the life path of a person, we see its reflection in the events, circumstances and social environment in which the individual grew up and developed. The features of the influence of reference persons on the development of a literary-gifted pupil`s personality in various age periods are described.It has been proved that the presenceof significant people in the social environment of the child, who are his inheritance examples and support him at all stages of his creative development, is a condition for personal growth.It has been noted that an important motivating factor for the development of literary abilities, especially in the initial stages, is a meeting the need for acknowledgment and recognition.The age dynamics in the reference structure of literary gifted personalities consists in its expansion and complication: preschool age – orientation toward supporting the immediate environment (family and relatives), junior school age – expanding the circle of reference persons (adding friends, classmates, and school teachers); adolescence – displacement of the reference dominance to friends and classmates, to the teacher of the Ukrainian language and literature and the head of the literary club, as well as appearing of virtual reference persons; early adolescence – increasing of the reference rate of virtual persons, the high level of reference of friends, the teacher of the Ukrainian language and literature and the head of the literary club remains the same. Empirically, it has been established that at all stages of the development of a literary gifted personality, a special role is played by the teacher of the Ukrainian language and literature and virtual reference persons (writers, poets, playwrights) who are standards of literary creativity and skill forpupils.
Gender differences in the creativity structureof children of preschool age
Authors: Zozulia Iryna
Published: June 2020

The article deals with a theoretical substantiation and empirical research of the problem of peculiarities of gender differences in the structure of creativity of children of preschool age. It is noted that the sexual comparison of the degree of expression of creativity gives contradictory results in all psychometric studies. There are three points of view regarding sexual differences in creativity: 1) girls have better creative abilities than boys; 2) boys are more creative than girls; 3) there are no sexual differences between on creativity.The empirical research of gender differences in the structure of creativity of children of preschool age was carried out with the help of E. Torrance’s tests of creative thinking (verbal and figurative). It is concluded that between the opposite sexes, according to the criterion of creativity, predominantly similarity is manifested. The structure of verbal and figurative creativity of boys and girls is homogeneous. Also, models of gifted pre-schoolers of both sexes match, but indicators of structural profiles of verbal and figurative creativity of girls are higher. Statistically significant differences are found in the level of indicators of verbal creativity (productivity and flexibility) and imaginative creativity (productivity and development).The research has shown that girls have more developed verbal creativity. They are capable of generating, developing ideas and completing them with a large amount of details. However, boys produce a smaller number of ideas, but their ideas are not less original and creative. Preschoolers of both sexes have equally developed the ability to transform the figurative information into a verbal form and the ability to provide abstract names to the executed drawings. Girls and boys are equally open for the perception of new information, they can easily withstand the uncertainty and understand the essence of the problem.

Purpose: to study the association of blood pressure (BP) visit-to-visit variability (VVV) with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) in rural dwellers with arterial hypertension (HTN).

Material and methods. The cross-sectional study retrospectively analyzed complex data from consecutive 160 males with primary HTN (mean age 50 ± 6 years). Patients with major HTN complication were excluded. We analyzed the office systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) levels, obtained at four consecutive doctor`s visits. As a metric of BP VVV, we used standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) values. The criteria for high BP VVV were Patients were ascertained to have high BP VVV in case of SD (SBP) ≥15 mm Hg and/or SD (DBP) ≥14 mm Hg. Totally, high BP VVV status was in 82 (51,3 %) patients. Paroxysmal AF was detected in 29 (18,1 %) patients.

Results. HTN with AF group (vs. HTN alone) was characterized by higher average values of BB VVV metrics (median, interquartile range): SD (SBP) (16,7 (15,9-17,5) vs. 8,7 (4,6-15,2) mm Hg, respectively); SD (DBP) (11,5 (8,9-14,6) vs. 5,7 (3,9-8,9) mm Hg, respectively); CV (SBP) (10,1 (9,6-10,7) vs. 5,6 (2,9-9,2) %, respectively); and CV (DBP) (12,9 (9,3-15,5) vs. 6,3 (4,1-9,7) %, respectively) (р<0,001 in all the comparisons). Additionally, HTN with AF group associated with worse kidney filtration function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): 57 (53-59) vs. 67 (62-77) ml/mim/1,73 m2, respectively) and more pronounced albuminuria (urine albumin/creatinine ratio (A/Cu): 36,1 (32,3-40,6) vs. 10,3 (6,5-26,9) mg/mmol, respectively) (р<0,001 in both comparisons). While integral assessment of eGFR and A/Cu values, we determined higher frequency of patients with high and very high cardiovascular and renal adverse events risk (AER) in HTN with AF group. Moreover, patients with HTN and AF presented with higher left atrial antero-posterior dimension (LAD) (4,3 (4,2-4,6) сm vs. 3,9 (3,6-4,1) cm, respectively; р<0,001), as well as with more advanced left ventricular remodeling. At multivariable analysis, SD (SBP) ≥15 mm Hg and SD (DBP) ≥14 mm Hg, along with AER and LAD, were the most significant factors independently associated with AF.

Conclusion. In rural males with HTN, the presence of high BP VVV is one of the factors associated with non-valvular AF risk increase. High BP VVV could be proposed as an additional modified AF risk factor in patients with HTN.
PAIN SYNDROMES FORMATION IN DEGENERATIVE SPINE DISEASE
Authors: Kvasnytskyi M.V.
Published: June 2020

Abstract. Etiological factors of degenerative spine disease and pathogenesis have been considered as a multifactor state. Biochemical and gross pathological changes have been outlined as well. Damage of pulpose disc core is the primary pathological process in degenerative spine disease. Therefore, pathogenetic factors have been defined: reflective, compressive, degenerative, as well as risk factors for development of degenerative and dystrophic changes. Inherent weakness of the connective tissue due to impaired collagen synthesis is significant in development of spine osteochondrosis, which leads to changes in collagen fibers of the fibrous ring, cracks and ruptures in it. Under the influence of various factors (hereditary, mechanical, hormonal, vascular, etc.), depolymerization of acid mucopolysaccharides, proteins, hyaluronic acid of the intervertebral disk pulpal nucleus takes place that leads to dehydration of the disk and reduction of its depreciation. The pathological process in spine osteochondrosis begins with the intervertebral disc, from where it spreads to other structures of the spine. In the pathogenesis of vertebrogenic radiculopathy, biologically active products of depolymerization of the pulp nucleus proteoglycans, as well as autoimmune inflammatory response caused by the pulpous nucleus fragments, which fell into the perineural and epidural space, are crucial. Thus, the established mechanisms and sources of pain in cases of spine osteochondrosis are: irritation of pain receptors, compression of nerve roots and nerve endings, oedema of nerve endings and disc, chemical inflammatory factor. The main factors that cause the pathological process are: autoimmune processes, inflammation, adhesion processes, compression and ischemia. They are closely interrelated and make an ‘endless circle’ in the resistance of pain syndrome in cases of spine osteochondrosis; therewith oedema of nerve endings or root is the main pathogenetic factor. That is why the epidurally administered corticosteroids have a positive result by blocking the receptors of the affected vertebral segments as well as by the action in the region of disco-radicular conflict that leads to reduction or elimination of inflammatory response, which is crucial in pain syndrome development.

In this paper, authors consider the theoretical aspects of the dynamics of liquid metals and the issues of correlations in disordered systems. The goal is to demonstrate that in choosing variables it is necessary to bring the equation of Markov processes to an approximation in which among the selected variables there are long-range components. However, this choice should include persistent variables. In numerous studies it is shown that selection cannot be made for the initial equation of motion with dynamic variables, and memory function analysis is required. As always, it contains a high-order memory function that can quickly decrease, and finally it can be again converted by the Markov process. Ways of simplifying the equation of Markov processes are given. In this work, authors derive the connection between the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function and the imaginary part of the dynamic susceptibility and the result of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.

Published: June 2020

The present research focused on how much Pakistani English press tracked the foreign policy stance of the Pakistani government in the presentation of incidents related to the war on terror. Pakistani authorities reinforced war on terror and Afghanistan war but did not support the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. For the present analysis, the editorials of Dawn and the Nation were selected from 12 September 2001 to 11 September 2003. Thematic analysis of the editorial coverage through NVIVO 10 was conducted. It was found that, during the war against Afghanistan that took place in 2001, Pakistani English press did not support the Pakistani governments stance. Many critical themes were noted from the data. However, during Iraq war that happened in 2003, Pakistani English press toed the Pakistani governments policy during and stressed the government to take more proactive stance against Iraq war. Overall, it could be stated that the Pakistani English press partially conformed the foreign policy stance of Pakistani government.
The Role of Global Powers in the Prolongation of the Syrian Conflict
Authors: Gul Saima , Tayyab Muhammad
Published: June 2020

Since the peoples uprising in 2011 against the authoritarian regime of Bashar Al Assad and its oppressive policies, Syria is entangled in a long spiral of violent conflict. Though several factors explain the violent nature of the conflict and its longevity. However, the geopolitical interests of the regional and global powers like Saudi Arabia vs. Iran and the US vs. Russia respectively, in this country has been the main determinant of this war. The intervention of the US and Russia in this war for their vested geopolitical interests has brought havoc and disaster to the country. By supporting opposite parties both these states have, instead of creating peace, prolonged the conflict for almost a decade. This paper tries to analyze the role of the global powers in the Syrian civil war, through the Power Transition Theory. No prospects of peace are visible in the near future as long as they try to balance one anothers power or unless there emerges a clear dominant power.

Praktyki postne w wybranych relacjach pisarzy kościelnych greckich i łacińskich I-III wieku
Authors: Kasprzak Dariusz Antoni
Published: June 2020

Praktyka postu religijnego w chrześcijaństwie w pierwszych trzech wiekach wydaje się być uwarunkowana kulturowo. Chrześcijański post w środy i piątki był najprawdopodobniej zapożyczeniem z praktyki Esseńczyków z Qumran (patrz Didache), w przeciwieństwie do indywidualnego postu faryzeuszy. W tym czasie chrześcijanie pościli podobnie jak Żydzi, tzn. przed chrześcijańską Paschą - od wschodu słońca poprzedniego dnia (czwartek) do zachodu słońca następnego dnia (piątek). Wydaje się, że tradycja żydowska i chrześcijańska w pierwszym wieku zbiegają się w praktyce zwiększania liczby dni postu, co motywowano w obu tradycjach apokaliptycznymi objawieniami. Jeśli chodzi o rozbieżności w tradycjach postnych, to faryzejscy Żydzi mogli przez cały dzień pościć w poniedziałki i czwartki bez jedzenia i picia od wschodu do zachodu słońca w tych dniach. Z drugiej strony chrześcijanie mogli praktykować post w środy i piątki na chlebie i wodzie, od wschodu do trzeciej. W tekstach chrześcijan aleksandryjskich z przełomu drugiego i trzeciego wieku znajdujemy syntezę praktyki chrześcijańskiej ze zwyczajami ascetycznymi i dietetycznymi filozofii stoickiej i platońskiej. Aleksandryjscy pisarze wskazywali bardziej na umiarkowanie jako cnotę i dietę jako wybór niż na post religijny jako taki. Natomiast w montanistycznych praktykach dwutygodniowej kserofagii możemy odnaleźć początek dłuższego, dwutygodniowego postu przed chrześcijańską Paschą. Kościół katolicki aż do trzeciego wieku, nazwał Wielkim Postem zwyczaj poszczenia dwa dni bezpośrednio przed Wielkanocą. Do trzeciego wieku włącznie w Kościele formalny post był postulowany stosunkowo rzadko (przed chrztem i dwa dni przed Paschą). Indywidualny post był praktykowany w środy i piątki. Wydaje się też, że dłuższy post był uznawany w Kościele aż do trzeciego wieku jako przejaw fałszywych objawień lub herezji.
Warunki dobrego postu według wybranych pisarzy greckich IV-VI w.
Authors: Widok Norbert
Published: June 2020

Praktykowanie postu wśród wyznawców Jezusa Chrystusa należało do istotnych czynności ascetycznych już od pierwszych pokoleń chrześcijaństwa, ponieważ to zalecenie pojawiło się w nauczaniu Zbawiciela. Dlatego pasterze tamtych czasów na różne sposoby zachęcali członków swoich wspólnot do podjęcia okresowego postu, niezależnie od ich zróżnicowanego podejścia do jego przestrzegania. O obecności zagadnienia postu w życiu kościelnym tych wspólnot świadczą teksty homilii, mów i traktatów, w których zamieszczone są zachęty kierowane do wiernych opisujące sposoby przestrzegania zasad postu oraz jego uzdrawiające wartości. Do autorów, którzy zajmowali się tymi kwestiami należeli m.in. Asteriusz z Amazji (IV-V w.), Marek Mnich (V w.), Pseudo-Jan Chryzostom (V-VI w.) oraz Pseudo-Euzebiusz z Aleksandrii (V-VI w.). Pozostawili w swoich mowach wiele informacji z zakresu duchowości chrześcijańskiej, a także liczne wskazówki praktycznego podejścia dotyczące wprowadzenia postu w codzienne życie. Przedłożony tekst zawiera opis etapu wstępnego, czyli charakterystyki warunków i wymogów do podjęcia postu, które ostatecznie mają przynieść wymierne korzyści dla duszy i ciała. Z tych względów autorom tych mów zależało na ukształtowaniu świadomości swoich odbiorców do pozytywnego nastawienia wobec postu.

DIGITAL AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL SYSTEM MODELING
Authors: Prasolov A.
Published: June 2020

The goal of automatic gain control is to maintain a constant output power level. Automatic gain control systems are used in various communication systems, both analog and digital. However, for all the variety of digital automatic gain control algorithms, the adjustment of the control parameters during the simulation process in reality is often ignored. In practice, this can lead to long-term overloads with a large change of the input signal power. There is also the risk that the model used was designed to work in linear mode only. In nonlinear mode, its behavior may not always be predictable. Research subject. The purpose of this article is to analyze digital AGC system characteristics and to model its operation in Matlab. Method. As part of the study, a Matlab model of hybrid automatic gain control system was developed. Core results. It is shown that the control time of the digital automatic gain control system with a non-linear gain control characteristic does not depend on the amplitude of the input signal. The performance of the proposed digital model is limited by the dynamic range of the linear path and the analog-to-digital converter. The mathematical dependence of the response time of the model on the input signal level change is obtained, in which the time constant of the automatic gain control filter has been replaced by the time constant of the entire automatic gain control system. Practical relevance. A digital model of hybrid automatic gain control system is proposed, which will allow to simulate digital automatic gain control systems parameters for both small and large changes in the input signal level. The results of this work are relevant to the development of digital receivers for communication systems of various purposes.
METHODICAL APPROACH OF PROVIDING OF SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION OF ROCKET AND SPACE COMPLEX
Authors: Pantenkov D.
Published: June 2020

The analysis of scientific works shows that today there is no generally accepted theory of technical and economic security of the system "personnel-rocket and space complex-environment". However, it should be noted that some elements of this theory are contained in the General theory of risk assessment in combination with the methods of actuarial mathematics, as well as in combination with the methods of assessing the technical and economic costs of the creation and operation of space assets. The known methods of technical and economic assessment of costs for the creation and operation of space objects are based mainly on the cost principle and are focused on the actual costs necessary for the development, production and operation of samples of space technology, space infrastructure with the inclusion of standard profit. At the same time, many of the known methods of technical and economic evaluation of the costs of the creation and operation of space objects can be divided into the following main groups: methods of calculation, normative and parametric methods and methods of expert evaluation. When studying safety issues and preventing accidents at the rocket and space complex, it is necessary to take into account the main features of their functioning, which consist in the mandatory accounting of the properties of maintenance personnel, the actual technical means of the rocket and space complex and the environment. A feature of the system "personnelrocket and space complex-environment" is the presence of a large number of information links that characterize its information efficiency. This scientific and technical article proposes new ways, methods and means to ensure the adoption of optimal (rational) decisions to prevent accidents, taking into account resource constraints on parrying emergencies.

The influence of the quality of information support of geographic information systems on the accuracy of the calculation results of the expected zones of underwater communication in various hydrological and acoustic conditions is assessed. Research subject. The article is devoted to the issues of evaluating the efficiency of underwater communication and intellectual decision-making support for rational spatial distribution of receiving and transmitting antennas of underwater communication systems with immersed correspondent objects. Method. A method for optimizing (choosing a rational option) the spatial distribution of receiving and transmitting antennas of positional underwater communications or the depth of setting of lowered and towed antennas of marine underwater communications using specialized software and information tools and geographic information systems is considered. Core results. A new performance indicator is proposed in the form of the spatial volume of the underwater communication zone and a method has been developed to optimize the spatial distribution of the receiving and transmitting antennas according to the criterion of the maximum volume of the expected underwater communication zone for given hydrological and acoustic conditions in the area. Practical relevance. The introduction of the developed method into the systems of sonar calculations and automated decision support for advanced underwater communication systems will significantly reduce the decision-making time for the placement of antennas (when designing or planning applications) and increase the efficiency (stability and range) of underwater communication means with immersed objects - correspondents.

Background: Childhood asthma is more of a syndrome with complex interplay of gene-environment-lifestyle factors not only for its causation but also for its control with pharmacological therapy. Vitamin D deficiency has been implicated as a risk factor for the causation of asthma and for its poor control in children. Objective: To study the correlation of serum vitamin D3 level and degree of control in asthmatic children on inhaled corticosteroids. Methods: It was an observational study conducted in the pediatric asthma clinic of a Government Medical College Hospital. The study population consisted of 75 asthmatic children aged 5-15 years. Children with persistent asthma on inhaled corticosteroids were classified into three groups based on global initiative for asthma guidelines. Serum vitamin D levels were measured in all the three groups and an attempt was made to find a correlation between asthma control and vitamin D levels. Results: Among the study group, 33% belonged to controlled group, 35% to uncontrolled group and 33% to partly controlled group. 71% of the asthmatic children were found to be either vitamin D deficient/insufficient. Around 81% of uncontrolled asthmatic children were vitamin D deficient, whereas only 12% of well controlled asthmatics had documented vitamin D deficiency. Among the children in controlled group, the majority (72%) were found to have normal vitamin D status. On comparison of asthma control between the groups, there was a statistically significant difference in vitamin D levels between controlled and uncontrolled group (p<0.001). The majority of children in the uncontrolled group constituted girls (69.2%) and 94% of them were vitamin D deficient. Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is widely prevalent in children with persistent asthma and lower levels of vitamin D are associated with poor asthma control. Girls formed a greater percentage of uncontrolled group and majority of them were vitamin D deficient.

Published: June 2020

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common diseases in childhood. The diagnosis and management of complicated UTI are difficult. The renal cortical scintigraphy using dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has been reported to be useful in children for confirmation of the diagnosis and for localization of parenchymal changes in acute pyelonephritis with renal scars. Objectives: To assess the role of 99m Tc-DMSA in identifying renal scars due to UTI in children. Materials and Methods: This study was a hospital-based prospective study conducted from November 2014 to October 2015. 53 children admitted with the first episode of the culture proven UTI. Children with vesicoureteric reflux or congenital renal anomalies were excluded from the study. All the patients were subjected to 99m Tc-DMSA. Results: An abnormal renal scan was observed in 28 out of 53 children (52.83%). The most common organism isolated was Escherichia coli (75.4%). All the children had fever (100%) followed by dysuria/increased frequency (50.94%). The majority of the renal parenchymal changes confined to the upper poles followed by lower poles and mid poles. Left kidney was involved more commonly (56%) than the right kidney (44%), whereas 3 children had bilateral involvement (10.71%). Parenchymal changes were common among children in 2-5 year age group (46.4%) followed by in children more than 5 years. Conclusion: DMSA renal scan has confirmed the high incidence of radiographically demonstrable renal scars in a significant number of children. It has helped to define parenchymal involvement in the form of pyelonephritic scars, the most common complication of UTI which is preventable.
