Impairment of hearing is a common birth defect which may be associated with varieties of psychological abnormalities in childhood. Knowledge and research of such issue is much lacking in Egypt; so the aim of the current study was to characterize and assess various psychological co-morbidities which could occur among hearing impaired children. This prospective study has been conducted on a total of 40 male children, with age range between 7 and 12 years, divided into two groups. Group I included 20 children with different degrees of hearing impairment, and Group II included 20 age-matched, healthy children with normal hearing. The studied children have been recruited from two schools (Al Amal School for the Deaf and Dumb, and Copts School) at Minia City, Minia Governorate, Egypt. Psychometric assessment, electroencephalography (EEG), and audiological evaluation were done for all included children. ECG abnormalities and anxiety scores were significantly higher in patients group compared to controls (p

In nocturnal enuresis motivational therapy, alarm therapy and drug therapy such as anticholinergics, imipramine and sertraline are the mainstay of treatment. In this study, we used motivational therapy, oxybutynin and propranolol in children with primary nocturnal enuresis to determine if propranolol is effective in the treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis. Fifty two children with primary nocturnal enuresis were included in the study. Firstly, motivational motivational therapy was given for 1 month in all patients. Patients who failed by motivational therapy were randomly given oxybutynin or propranolol. The patients were re-evaluated after 1 month of drug therapy. There was not a significant difference between oxybutynin and propranolol groups for initial frequency of nocturnal enuresis (P >0.05). Of 52 patients, 28 (53.8%) patients were improved by motivational therapy. There were 14 patients in oxybutynin group. One patient was excluded from the study because facial flushing and mouth drying developed in the first week of oxybutynin therapy. In oxybutynin group, 12 (92.3%) of 13 patients were improved. There were 10 patients in propranolol group. In propranolol group, while nine (90%) patients were not improved, one patient had significant remission (90%) (P

Published: January 2019

Drowning continues to be a cause of childhood mortality that is associated with significant psychological distress to the affected families. The unexpected death due to such preventable injury causes excessive grieving responses in these situations. In the present report, we describe a case of a 3- year-old child who was a victim of drowning in a recreational pool, whose family went through severe denial phase following the establishment of brain death. Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) brain scan showed absence of tracer uptake within brain parenchyma, while the calvarium showed increased tracer distribution, also known as the halo sign. She also had electrocerebral inactivity revealed by electroencephalography (EEG).We also discuss the magnitude of this family distress that led to total family avoidance of meeting with the treating team, from the time the parents were informed about the established brain death in the drowning child, till the patient had cardiopulmonary arrest two weeks later.

Authors: Caldeira Ademir Donizeti , Magnus Maria Carolina Machado , Duarte Claudia Glavam
Published: January 2019

Neste artigo, temos por objetivo problematizar o discurso da Modelagem Matemática na Educação Matemática evidenciando que este tem se tornado uma engrenagem da maquinaria curricular, que ora sustenta e ora é sustentado pelo currículo. Os aportes teórico-metodológicos vinculam-se às teorizações do filósofo Michel Foucault. O material analítico abrange teses, dissertações e anais da Conferência Nacional sobre Modelagem na Educação Matemática. A análise desses materiais evidenciou que o discurso da Modelagem funciona como um mecanismo de privilegiamento dos conteúdos ditos escolares, colocando em circulação práticas que legitimam o que está posto enquanto verdade, a Matemática escolar. A Modelagem coloca o currículo em funcionamento, legitimando-o, reforçando-o, sustentando-o e por ele sendo legitimada, reforçada e sustentada.

A Pragmatic Approach to the Implementation of Osteoarthritis Guidelines Has Fewer Potential Barriers Than Recommended Implementation Frameworks
Authors: Holm Inger , Risberg May Arna , Roos Ewa M. , Skou Søren T.
Published: January 2019

Translating evidence-based treatment recommendations and guidelines into feasible delivery in routine care is an essential objective to improve quality of care. Nevertheless, guidelines are underused, and many physical therapists and other professionals continue to offer low-value care modalities, providing the patients with treatment options of little to no benefit. In contrast to low-value interventions, evidence-based treatment guidelines for osteoarthritis (OA) recommend information, exercise, and weight control. The authors discuss the feasibility of a pragmatic approach to implementation of clinical guidelines that facilitates improved quality of care for management of OA.

Published: January 2019

An 18-year-old military cadet presented to a direct-access physical therapy clinic 3 days after sustaining a lateral patellar dislocation that self-reduced with extension of the knee. Suspecting a loose body, the physical therapist ordered radiographs, which did not demonstrate any associated fractures. Rapid disposition was required to determine her potential to participate in mandatory Army field training, so the patient was referred to an orthopaedic surgeon, who ordered magnetic resonance imaging to assess for intra-articular pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a full-thickness defect in the patellar cartilage at the medial facet, with a loose fragment in the suprapatellar pouch.

Authors: Al-Qattan Ahmed
Published: January 2019

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is an infrequent benign bony lesion of unpredictably aggressive behavior. The precise lesion character is debatable and remains inconclusive. However, three main theories were proposed: a sensitive lesion, a kind of neoplasm, or a developmental anomaly. This is a case presentation of a 16-year-old boy with a dental history of extraction of the lower right first molar, presented to hospital with two months history of swelling in the aforementioned area after the procedure. First biopsy of the swelling was performed outside the Kingdom of Bahrain. As per histopathological findings, the swelling was described as pyogenic granuloma. Second biopsy with necessary workup was conducted in the Kingdom of Bahrain and was confirmed as central giant cell granuloma through histopathological analysis; it was removed surgically.

Earthquake Relocation Using Double Difference Method for 2D Modelling of Subducting Slab and Back Arc Thrust in West Nusa Tenggara
Authors: Taruna Rian Mahendra , Banyunegoro Vrieslend Haris
Published: January 2019

West Nusa Tenggara is classified into earthquake prone zone as it is located between subduction and back arc thrust earthquake sources. Accurate hypocenter determination in this area is necessary for strong motion calculation and earthquake source zone modelling. Earthquake relocation in the region is needed to produce a more accurate hypocenter location and 2D modelling of subduction slab and back arc thrust. A double difference method was employed with earthquake data from 2009-2017. The results show better accuracy in the distribution of the travel-time residual. Subduction slab modelling shows a dip value of about 7-13° from a trench to an arc, 49-55° from an arc to a transition zone, and 60-64° dip at a depth of 300 km. Back arc thrust modelling shows a dip value of about 19-28° at a depth of 15-30 km. The results provide a reliable 2D model for subduction slab and back arc thrust in West Nusa Tenggara. Therefore, the developed models can be used as reference for earthquake zones and seismic hazard assessment in West Nusa Tenggara.

Authors: Mauliana Metatia Intan , Zainuri Mochamad
Published: January 2019

The lithium ferrous phosphate carbon composite (LFP/C) cathode material has been successfully synthesized using solid-state reaction method by utilizing one of the natural sources of iron rocks in Tanah Laut, Kalimantan, as the base material of Fe. Solid-state reaction method was done by using high energy ball milling tool. The LFP cathode material was prepared using a base material (Li2CO3), Fe3O4, and (NH4)2HPO4 in a ratio of 3:6:2 and 5% wt. of Citric acid as a carbon source. There were some variations of calcination temperature used under inert conditions at 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C to determine the effect on the phase structure and electrical conductivity produced by LFP/C cathode composites. Characterization of phase structure was done by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), while the conductivity value of the sample was tested using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The analysis of the diffraction pattern shows the largest composition of olivine structure formed at 700 °C at 93.3% wt. with Fe2O3 impurities of 6.7% wt. The highest conductivity value of LFP/C is shown by sampling with 500 °C calcination temperature with a total conductivity value of 5,676 x 10-3 S.cm-1.
