Lifestyle Redesign® Intervention for Psychological Well-Being and Function in People With Fibromyalgia: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Shomer Lindsey , Roll Shawn C.
Published: December 2022

Importance: Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic pain condition for which effective nonpharmacological treatment interventions are lacking.

Objective: To explore the effects of an occupational therapy intervention for fibromyalgia on client-reported outcomes of pain interference, self-efficacy, mood, and function.

Design: Retrospective cohort study using a chart review method.

Setting: Outpatient clinic.

Participants: Twenty-one adults with fibromyalgia (M age = 54 yr).

Intervention: A 10-wk occupational therapy group intervention using a Lifestyle Redesign® (LRD) approach.

Outcomes and Measures: The Brief Pain Inventory, Pain Self-Efficacy Scale, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) or the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire were administered at the first and last sessions of the program.

Results: Between 2015 and 2018, 37 clients entered the program, and 21 completed it. Changes in group averages exceeded the minimal clinically important difference for the BDI and the FIQ. Eighty-one percent of clients who completed the program had a clinically significant improvement on one or more of the outcome measures.

Conclusions and Relevance: The findings demonstrate the potential benefit of occupational therapy as a complementary approach to pharmacological treatment for people with fibromyalgia. Preliminary evidence suggests that a 10-wk occupational therapy group intervention using an LRD approach may reduce symptoms of depression and decrease the impact on daily function for people with fibromyalgia.

What This Article Adds: Occupational therapy should be considered as a nonpharmacological intervention for adults with fibromyalgia to improve psychological well-being and function.

The article studies the problem of the learners’ language
communicative skills development through the use of authentic texts in class.
The authors specify the idea of language learning effectiveness mostly
depending on the learners’ active participation and engagement in the
teaching process. For this purpose it is not enough to implement the process
of simple communication in class. Instead, it requires creating an intensive
and regular interactive environment, jointly with appropriate textual material.
Actually the use of authentic texts in class makes the teaching process more
interesting, enjoyable and effective as these texts are connected with real life
and their application fosters the learners’ communicative skill development,
world outlook and, the formation of appropriate attitude towards the
evaluation of democratic values in life.
The Potential of Goat Meat Acceptance by Young Adults in South Africa
Authors: Palmer Karina , Naicker Ashika , Kolanisi Unathi
Published: December 2022

Recent global meat consumption trends report an increase in goat meat consumption as a protein source; however, consumption is not popular in South Africa. Despite goat meat being a nutritious and sustainable source, the willingness to consume goat meat as an acceptable protein source among young adults is not known. The study aims to explore factors that may prevent goat meat consumption and determine the potential for goat meat consumption among young adults from a rural and urban university in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. An online meat consumption survey was developed and disseminated through email to students (n=416). Goat meat consumption by young adults was reported to be mainly due to cultural practices. Although most of the participants consumed goat meat, the frequency of consumption was lower than that of chicken, beef and pork. Key barriers to goat meat consumption included a lack of availability, unappealing aroma and allergies. The findings indicated the potential to promote goat meat availability at retail outlets in South Africa, specifically through value-added convenience products. An integrated approach, including consumer education and the increasing availability of goat meat and value-added products, will improve the consumption of this sustainable and nutritious protein source.

Methane emissions from Arctic landscapes during 2000–2015: An analysis with land and lake biogeochemistry models
Authors: Liu Xiangyu , Zhuang Qianlai
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Wetlands and freshwater bodies (mainly lakes) are the largest natural source of greenhouse gas CH4 to the atmosphere. Great efforts have been made to quantify these source emissions and their uncertainties. Previous research suggests that there might be significant uncertainties coming from “double accounting” emissions from freshwater bodies and wetlands. Here we quantify the methane emissions from both land and freshwater bodies in the pan-Arctic with two process-based biogeochemistry models by minimizing the double accounting at the landscape scale. Two non-overlapping dynamic areal change datasets are used to drive the models. We estimate that the total methane emissions from pan-Arctic are 35.81 Tg CH4 yr−1 during 2000–2015, of which wetlands and freshwater bodies are 21.38 CH4 Tg yr−1 and 14.45 Tg CH4 yr−1, respectively. The emissions are significantly affected by humidity and vapor pressure, followed by temperature and landscape areal changes. Emissions from wetlands are more sensitive to landscape areal changes than from freshwater bodies while the latter emissions are more influenced by temperature than precipitation. Our sensitivity analysis indicates the pan-Arctic CH4 emissions from freshwater bodies were highly influenced by temperature, but less by lake sediment carbon content from permafrost thaw.
Effective diffusivity of sulfuric acid in Antarctic ice cores
Authors: Fudge Tyler J. , Sauvage Raphael , Vu Linh , Hills Benjamin H. , Severi Mirko , Waddington Edwin D.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Volcanic deposition of sulfuric acid in ice cores is important both for understanding past volcanic activity and for synchronizing ice core timescales. Sulfuric acid has a low eutectic point, so it can potentially exist in liquid at grain boundaries and veins, accelerating chemical diffusion. A high effective diffusivity would allow post-depositional diffusion to obscure the climate history and the peak matching among older portions of ice cores. Here, we use records of sulfate from the EPICA Dome C (EDC) ice core to estimate the effective diffusivity of sulfuric acid in ice. We focus on EDC because multiple glacial-interglacial cycles are preserved, allowing analysis for long timescales and deposition in similar climates. We calculate the mean concentration gradient and the width of prominent volcanic events, and analyze the evolution of each with depth/age. We find the effective diffusivities for interglacials and glacial maximums to be 5 ± 2 × 10-9 m2 a-1, an order of magnitude lower than a previous estimate derived from the Holocene portion of EDC (Barnes et al., 2003). The effective diffusivity may be even smaller if artificial diffusion from the sampling is accounted for. Effective diffusivity is not obviously affected by the ice temperature until about -10 °C, 3000 m depth, which is also where anomalous sulfate peaks begin to be observed (Traversi et al., 2009). Low effective diffusivity suggests that sulfuric acid is not readily diffusing in liquid-like veins in the upper portions of the Antarctic ice sheet and that records may be preserved in deep, old ice if the ice temperature remains well below the pressure melting point.

Abstract. Earthquake-induced submarine slope destabilization is known to cause mass wasting and turbidity currents, but the hydrodynamic processes associated with these events remain poorly understood. Instrumental records are rare, and this notably limits our ability to interpret marine paleoseismological sedimentary records. An instrumented frame comprising a pressure recorder and a Doppler recording current meter deployed at the seafloor in the Sea of Marmara Central Basin recorded the consequences of a Mw 5.8 earthquake occurring on 26 September 2019 and of a Mw 4.7 foreshock 2 d before. The smaller event caused sediment resuspension and weak current (<4 cm s−1) in the water column. The larger event triggered a complex response involving a debris flow and turbidity currents with variable velocities and orientations, which may have resulted from multiple slope failures. A long delay of 10 h is observed between the earthquake and the passing of the strongest turbidity current. The distance traveled by the sediment particles during the event is estimated to have extended over several kilometers, which could account for a local deposit on a sediment fan at the outlet of a canyon (where the instrument was located), but the sedimentation event did not likely cover the whole basin floor. We show that after a moderate earthquake, delayed turbidity current initiation may occur, possibly by ignition of a cloud of resuspended sediment.

Reflexiones sobre música experimental e identidad latina en el contexto de creación sonora de Nueva York
Authors: García Fernández Isaac Diego
Published: December 2022

Este estudio rastrea y analiza el trabajo creativo de diversos músicos y artistas sonoros de origen hispanoamericano y español que actualmente desarrollan su carrera en la ciudad de Nueva York. Con ello, se pretende reflexionar sobre la posibilidad de concebir y articular una identidad latina en el campo de la música experimental. Desde una primera aproximación, se examinan las posibles motivaciones que justifican su adhesión a la escena de la experimentación sonora neoyorquina, así como las razones de su escasa presencia en los mecanismos identitarios que estructuran las comunidades hispanas en los Estados Unidos. Frente a la clásica concepción de la música experimental como una manifestación abstracta, internacional y neutra, cabe cuestionar los aspectos ideológicos que subyacen desde su origen como una expresión de reafirmación cultural estadounidense, primero, y como un mecanismo colonial, después. Esta línea argumental trata de revelar las profundas contradicciones que estos artistas asumen al participar en este contexto. Finalmente, se exploran diversas vías de emancipación presentes en sus respectivos trabajos artísticos, como el uso de la lengua, la incorporación de ciertas visiones reflexivas acerca de las identidades en Latinoamérica y, especialmente, la adopción de planteamientos más críticos respecto del uso y consumo de las tecnologías, que pueden interpretarse como un posicionamiento ideológico afín.
A model of values and prices based on a solution to the transformation problem
Authors: Verbeke Marcelo Andrés
Published: December 2022

This article presents a comprehensive values and prices formation model based on Marx’s (1992, 1993) labor theory of value within a Temporal Single-System Interpretation (TSSI) framework. This model bases on a new interpretation of the Marxian Fundamental Theorem (FMT) and the Monetary Expression of Labor Time (MELT). If the modification in the dialectical sequence of the formation of the categories and the introduction of the dual determination of socially necessary labor time are accepted, the transformation problem encounters solution in the interpretation of Carchedi and de Haan (1996). Likewise, contemporary approaches reveal the need for a redefinition of key categories of the Marxist labor theory of value to develop a logically coherent model. Thus, the proposed model includes the dimension of the realization problem that commodities face in the market and introduce analytical categories for both production and realization periods. Finally, value category is redefined.
Historia del sueño dorado de los economistas: desde la configuración de la síntesis neoclásica hasta nuestros días
Authors: Benítez-Aurioles Beatriz
Published: December 2022

A partir de la obra de Keynes, y del consenso que surgió con la síntesis neoclásica, parecía que se vislumbraba en el horizonte una situación en que el control de la economía era posible. Pronto se evidenciaron las limitaciones de este planteamiento. Por un lado, los policymakers actúan sobre una realidad compleja e incierta en la que los agentes diseñan estrategias que afectan a la eficacia de las actuaciones públicas. Por otro, se cuestionó que los decisores públicos tengan la omnisciencia y benevolencia para maximizar la función de bienestar social. Sobre esa base, se han fortalecido las soluciones de mercado y el escepticismo respecto a la eficacia de una política discrecional. No obstante, existe un amplio margen para el perfeccionamiento de la política económica basada en la redefinición de sus objetivos básicos, en la importancia que han demostrado tener las instituciones y en las propuestas de solución de problemas concretos.
The argumentative structure of the Wealth of Nations
Authors: Cremaschi Sergio
Published: December 2022

Este artículo arroja una nueva luz sobre lo que Adam Smith estaba haciendo al escribir la Riqueza de las Naciones examinando el lugar que ocupa en su obra inconclusa, esto es, una realización parcial de una parte de su proyecto: la historia y la teoría del derecho y del gobierno. En la Riqueza de las Naciones, el “método socrático” de persuasión y el “método newtoniano” del discurso didáctico coexisten con el discurso moral. La coexistencia permite una transición desde (i) un argumento dirigido a persuadir a la opinión pública de la ventaja que conllevan unas políticas comerciales no agresivas, salarios elevados y alguna provisión de bienes públicos por parte de la autoridad pública; (ii) una reconstrucción simplificada de los mecanismos y tendencias económicas a través de la historia conjetural o de los “sistemas”, y (iii) un argumento que muestra cómo toda la desigualdad opresiva existente en las sociedades modernas es, además de deplorable, contraria al interés de todos.
Struggles for Hegemony Have Not Ceased
Authors: Chatterjee Partha
Published: December 2022

Peter Thomas’s criticism of arguments advanced recently of an era of “post-hegemony” in Western democracies may be extended by considering the experience of post-colonial Asia and Africa. Reviewing the use of the Gramscian concepts of consent and passive revolution in the study of modern South Asian history, this paper argues that both of Gramsci’s objectives –a general theory of power and the analysis of historically contingent and strategic politics– can be retained to yield valuable analytical insights. The paper concludes that rather than focusing on whether the analysis of hegemony can remain true to Gramsci’s text, one can put the concept to analytical use in explaining political change in different parts of the world today.

Published: December 2022

While the relationships between media and eating disorders and disordered eating patterns incollege-aged women have been extensively studied (e.g., Bissel, 2004; Grabe & Hyde 2009;Harper & Tiggeman, 2008; Yamamiya, Cash, Melnyk, Posavac, & Posavac, 2005), fewerstudies have been conducted with female athletes. More specifically, limited studies havefocused on the relationship between social media and eating behaviors of athletesparticipating in aesthetic sporting events, even though the highest rates of disordered eatingpatterns occur in sports where female athletes are scored on judges’ opinions (Hausenblas &Carron, 1999; Smolak, Murnen, & Ruble, 2000; Sundgot-Borgen, 1994), and where leanness,thinness, and aesthetic skills and aspects are emphasized (Byrne & McLean, 2002; DiBartolo& Shaffer, 2002). Thus, the current study sought to understand the links among collegegymnasts’ perceptions of body image, disordered eating behaviors, and perceptions ofathletes’ body images presented on social media. Furthermore, the study also explored howcriticism presented on social media relates to disordered eating symptomatology. The studywas conducted via an online survey system by 72 18-25-year-old females who were currentlycompeting or recently competed in club or collegiate gymnastics. Results found significantcorrelations between the severity of critical comments about physical appearance, emotionalreaction to criticism about physical appearance, and disordered eating behavior in instanceswhere the comments were not made on social media, but no correlation was found betweenseverity, emotional reaction, and disordered eating behaviors for comments made on socialmedia.

Introduction The morphofunctional status of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) is a prognostic factor of tumor metastasis. According to the modern concept, lymphagenic metastasis of the tumor is highest in the SLN, and in the absence of metastases in it, the probability of the absence of metastases in other lymph nodes is high. In the era of the development of new immune treatments for breast cancer, the identification of biomarkers that can predict the status of lymph nodes becomes an important task.

The aim is immunohistochemical study of the expression level of T- and B-lymphocyte markers in breast cancer in the absence and presence of metastases in them.

Materials and methods Sentinel lymph nodes without metastases and with metastases obtained during breast cancer surgery in 18 patients were studied using the immunohistochemical method.

Results Comparative morphological analysis revealed that the number of CD3- and CD20-immunopositive cells was significantly higher in the SLN without metastases.

Discussions The humoral and cellular immune systems take part in the antitumor immune response. Control over the growth of the tumor is carried out mainly by T cells. The results of our study showed a relatively high level of them in the SLN without metastatic lesion. The information about the antitumor activity of B-lymphocytes is contradictory since both the positive and negative role of B-cells in anticancer immunity is shown. The results of the studies showed that in the case of secondary foci of tumor growth, the number of CD20+ B cells is significantly lower, which indicates the important role of humoral immunity in addition to cell-mediated immunity in breast cancer.

Conclusion Quantitative evaluation of (CD3+CD20) cells in the SLN can be used as a possible prognostic marker for breast tumor metastasis.

Published: December 2022

Background: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a common autoimmune thyroid disease and often coexists with differentiated thyroid carcinomas, but the link between medullary thyroid carcinoma and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is not established, so the cases of these diseases occurring simultaneously are rare in the literature. Here we report a case of spindle cell variant of the medullary thyroid carcinoma in underlying Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Case presentation: A 65-year old female was followed up in our Center because of hypothyroidism due to thyroid autoimmune disease. On neck ultrasound, an 11 X 7 X 9 mm hypoechoic nodule in the left thyroid lobe was found, and cytology was suggestive for spindle cell variant of medullary thyroid carcinoma. Calcitonin serum level was measured, and found elevated. After total thyroidectomy, pathology was compatible with spindle cell medullary thyroid carcinoma and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Conclusion: Medullary thyroid carcinoma in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is rare, but must not be taken out of consideration when thinking about routine ultrasound check-ups in patients with non-nodular autoimmune thyroid disorder.
Ring-opening fluorination via C–C bond cleavage: An efficient approach to diverse fluorinated molecules
Authors: West Julian
Published: December 2022

The unique and desirable properties of fluorinated compounds in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials sciences have driven the development of remote fluorination methods. In particular, the C–C cleavage/fluorination of cyclic molecules recently emerged as one of the most reliable approaches, allowing the efficient construction of otherwise inaccessible fluorinated molecules. While serving as a powerful platform, many ring-opening fluorination methods have relied on the use of expensive and/or low atom-economical electrophilic fluorine sources and often require precious metals such as silver or iridium, impeding their general applications in synthesis and 18F radioisotope studies. In this Perspective, we summarize the recent efforts on the C–C deconstructive fluorination methods, including our new approaches to synthesize remotely-fluorinated ketones, followed by future opportunities of this field toward better sustainability and positron emission tomography (PET) compatibility using earth-abundant element catalysts and simple nucleophilic fluoride salts as fluorine sources.

Published: December 2022

: Fenomena yang terjadi saat ini adalah gembala-gembala di gereja sudah lagi tidak bermisi melainkan berkompetisi bahkan lebih menitikberatkan pada teologi kemakmuran. Gembala harus mempunyai pemahaman yang benar tentang misi Gereja. Peran Gembala juga sangat penting dalam melaksanakan misi Gereja. Meski kondisi pertemuan tatap muka saat ini terbatas, misi tetap dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknologi media digital. Tujuan media digital adalah untuk membawa Injil dan nilai-nilai Kekristenan ke seluruh dunia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini adalah metode literatur bersifat kualitatif, yang menekankan pada studi mendalam terhadap literatur-literatur seperti buku-buku, jurnal-jurnal ilmiah untuk memperoleh dan   mengumpulkan data. Metode deskriptif dipakai untuk memaparkan bagaimana seharusnya peran gembala dan bagaimana paradigma misi gembala yang benar terhadap digital misi.  Kesimpulannya, apapun media yang digunakan dan disampaikan gembala harus memahami inti dari misi Gereja yaitu mewartakan bahwa Yesus Kristus adalah Juruselamat umat manusia. Sehingga peran gembala sangat penting dalam menjalankan misi. Di mana peran gembala antara lain mau berkorban dalam pelayanan memberitakan Firman Tuhan; mampu membimbing dan mengarahkan, mempunyai kepedulian terhadap jiwa-jiwa. Sedangkan karena perkembangan dunia saat ini mengarah ke dunia digital sebaiknya para gembala juga mau menyediakan waktu untuk belajar dan memanfaatkan media digital dengan bijak sehingga jangkauan untuk menyebarkan menjadi lebih luas.

Introduction SARS-CoV-2 may be associated with ARDS and the VILI. However, there are still doubts about the correlations and the interference of tidal energy in the outcomes. The objective of this study was to verify the correlations and interference of mechanical power and its components with age in the outcome in SARS-CoV-2 of subjects undergoing pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV). Method Longitudinal, prospective, observational, analytical, and quantitative study of the information collected on two parameters of the mechanical ventilator, to calculate the mechanical power by Becher formula in 163 subjects with SARS-CoV-2 and moderate ARDS between May 2021 to September 2021. Results Correlations were found between mechanical power and its components, except for compliance (P 0.234), elastance (P 0.515), resistance (P 0.570) and age (P 0.180). There was a significant impact on the outcome in the univariate analysis of age, as well as of mechanical power and its components, except for positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) (P 0.874), minute ventilation (Ve) (P 0.437), resistive pressure (PResist) (P 0.410) and resistance (P 0.071). The multivariate analysis of mechanical power, plateau pressure (PPlateau), tidal volume (VT), driving pressure (ΔP) and elastance, showed that only mechanical power correlated to death (P 0.04) and for each additional unit in J/minute there is a 6.2% increase in the odds of death (95% IC 0.3%; 12.4%). Conclusion There are correlations between mechanical power and its components, except for compliance, elastance, resistance, and age. There is interference in the outcome in the univariate analysis of age, as well as of mechanical power and its components, except PEEP, Ve, PResist and resistance, but the multivariate analysis showed that only mechanical power correlates with the outcome in SARS-CoV-2 undergoing PCV.

Objective: To determine the outcomes of intraplaque verapamil injection for treatment of Peyronie's disease. Aim:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes & efficacy of intraplaque verapamil injection in Peyronie’s disease management. Methods: The quasi experimental study was conducted from July 2018 to July 2019 on a group of 26 subjects suffering from Peyronie's disease. After detailed history, complete physical and genital examination, the diagnosis was confirmed. After informed consent, questionnaires regarding pain and sexual satisfaction of patients were filled. All patients received verapamil injections on weekly basis for a period of 10 weeks. After that, all necessary variables were recorded and data analyzed using SPSS version 16. Results: Most of the patients in our study were in the age group of 30-65 years. 26.9 % patients were in the range of 51-55 years old. 53.8% patients got no effect of intralesional injection of verapamil on pain while pain relieved in 38.5% of patients & 7.7% patients experienced an increased in pain intensity after 10 weeks of intralesional injection of verapamil. 61.5%of patients satisfied with their sexual life after 10 week of injections & 30.8% of patients remained unsatisfied with their sexual life while in 7.7%of patients symptoms aggravated. 53.8% of patients experienced no change in size of lesion and curvature of penis, while 30.8% got less than 50% reduction in size of lesion while 15.4% of patients got more than 50% reduction in size after 10 weeks. Practical implication: We can easily find the efficacy of Verapamil injection for management of Peyronie’s disease. Conclusion: This study concluded the efficacy of Verapamil injection for management of Peyronie’s disease disease causes significant decrease in size of lesion and improvement in sexual activity.

Obstetrical haemorrhage is a potentially fatal clinical manifestation of either vaginal delivery or caesarean section. According to reports, it is responsible for almost fifty percent of all pregnancy - related deaths. The prevalence of caesarean section (CS) has dramatically upped in both low income as well as in developed nations, thereby increasing the likelihood of obstetrical haemorrhage. The rationale of this study is that it is important to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TA on blood loss with LSCS. Methods: Cases were separated into two subgroups: case: (A) and control: (B). In the operating theater, participants were given A and B packages to choose from, the contents of whom were only known to the nurse in charge of drug preparation. All meds were injected by an anesthetist who was not in charge of supervising or assessing the patients. Results: Comparison of both %age reduction in Hb levels (>10%) after treatment shows that in Group A 6(20%) and in Group B 15(50%) had >10% reduction in Hb levels after treatment, p-value=0.015. Conclusion: TA administration reduced dramatically the bleeding throughout CS, the proportion of patients who lost more than 1000 mL of blood, and the requirement for supplemental uterotonic substances. As a result, TA can be employed very safely and successfully in patients receiving caesarean section.

Introduction: Tunneled central venous catheters (CVC) is a flexible tube with prolonged vascular access providing for the management of intravenous medication treatments, fluids, or total parenteral nutrition, repeated blood sampling, and hemodialysis (HD). Objectives: The main objective of the study is to investigate the risk factors for tunneled hemodialysis catheter dysfunction. Material and methods: This observational study was conducted in Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital, Barakahu, Islamabad during June 2022 till October 2022. All patients who underwent central venous catheterization for the first time in the hospital were included in the study. All catheterizations were performed ultrasound-guided and rechecked by fluoroscopy to confirm the proper replacement of the catheter in the Cava-atrial junction. Results: The data was collected from 235 patients. One hundred sixty-three patients (72.4%) had no CVC malfunction and sixty-two (27.6%) patients had malfunction. The median duration of follow-up was 162 days for patients with no malfunction and 48.5 days for patients with CVC malfunction. Practical implication: We can easily find the catheter related complications after reading this research analysis. Conclusion: It is concluded that the placement of TDCs in patients should be considered the last resort; however, with the increased use of TDCs and experience, the number of catheter-related complications can be expected to decrease.

Objective: to determine the association of lactate clearance with morbidity and mortality in neonates with sepsis and septic shock at neonatology department of Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital Muzaffargarh. Methods: This prospective cohort study was carried out at department of neonatology of Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital Muzaffargarh from January 2021 to June 2021. Term neonates, aged less than 28 days and diagnosed as the cases of sepsis, were included. After taking demographic information, a detailed medical history was obtained, and a complete clinical examination was done. Blood samples were taken from all the patients and sent to the Hospital diagnostic laboratory to evaluate the CBC, liver function test, serum creatinine level, coagulation profile, CRP, blood culture, and serum lactate level. All the data were collected by using structured study proforma, and SPSS version 26 was used for the purpose of data analysis. Results: A total of 56 septic neonates were studied, their mean age was 13.14+7.79 days. Females were 51.8% and males were 48.2%. Blood culture was positive in 75.0% of the cases, and CRP was positive in 98.2% of the cases. Overall average of serum lactate at baseline was 2.67+1.73, at 6 hours was 1.91+0.98 and at 24 hours average of serum lactate was 0.21+0.10. 50% of the cases had AKI, 50.0% had AHI, cardiac failure was in 26.8% of the cases, 30.4% of the cases had need of ventilation, and the mortality rate was 35.7%. Septic neonatal morbidity and mortality were statistically insignificant according to serum lactate at baseline and at 24 hours (p >0.05). Despite the fact that serum lactate at 6 hours was significantly associated with mortality and the need for ventilation (p 0.05), Conclusion: As per the study conclusion, neonatal sepsis and septic shock are highly responsible for neonatal morbidity and mortality. Lactate clearance at six hours was found to be significantly related to neonatal mortality and the need for ventilation. Although lactate clearance at 6 hours is observed to be a predictor of neonatal mortality in neonates with sepsis and septic shock, Keywords: Neonatal sepsis, lactate clearance, morbidity, mortality
