A novel suturing technique, based on physical principles
Authors: FJ Pérez Lara  , R Zubizarreta Jimenez  , JM Hernández González  , T Prieto-Puga  , F Moya Donoso
Published: December 2020

Introduction: In medicine, sutures have been used for thousands of years to close wounds. However, despite the great advances that have been made in technology, little progress has taken place in suturing techniques and most surgeons continue to use the same two classical techniques (continuous suture or interrupted suture). This paper proposes a suturing technique (“double diabolo”) in which a pattern of eight 45-degree angles is formed, in the view that this achieves a notable reduction in the tension exerted (30% at each angle), thereby increasing the overall strength of the suture. Material and Method: In this study, we compare the physical tensions exerted on the suture thread and its entry/exit points, on the one hand by the two techniques most often used – interrupted suture (Type 1) and continuous suture (Type 2) – and on the other, by the proposed “double-diabolo” suture (Type 3). Results: The Type 3 suturing method produced the lowest levels of tension on the thread, almost 65% less than those of Type 1 and 50% less than those of Type 2. The tension on the wound was also considerably lower, with reductions of 33% and 50% in comparison with Types 1 and 2, respectively. Conclusions: The results obtained in this study corroborate our hypothesis that the proposed double-diameter suture method exerts less tension on the thread and on the entry/exit points than conventional techniques. Theoretically it would be recommended for cases in which the suture must withstand significant tension as laparotomy closure

Published: December 2020

Indigenous medical practices have been the subject of much attention in the literature of various disciplines to date but the specificity, mode of action and clinical efficacy of most traditional plants have not been established in a manner consistent with standards of modern pharmacognosy and pharmacology. In order to find antimicrobial lead compounds and to provide scientific validation for the use of Tetrapleura tetraptera (Schum.& Thonn.) in traditional medicine . Extensive chromatographic separation of stem bark and leaf extracts led to the isolation of three distinct compounds. Anti-microbial spectrum of these obtained compounds revealed that stigma-5, 22, - diene-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside showed activity against Staphylococcus aureus (32 mm), Streptococcus pyrogenes (30 mm) and Candida tropicalis (30 mm). It is therefore recommended for further work for a possible development of new drugs.

Published: December 2020

The use of local herbal concoctions has been on the increase for the cure of various illnesses in Iwo community and Nigeria generally. Experiment aimed at isolating major microorganisms and carrying out antibiotic resistant test on the bacterial isolates was carried out. Bacteria isolated were identified through biochemical tests and molecular characterization. Susceptibility levels of these isolates was evaluated using antibiotic rapid test multidisc containing eight different antibiotics and resistance genes were amplified from some of the isolates. Five fungal species were isolated from the samples and these included Aspergillus niger and Mucor sp which occurred the most (33.3%), while Rhizopus stolonifera and Aspergillus nidulans had the lowest occurrence (6.7%). Twenty- four bacterial species belonging to fifteen (15) genera were identified. These includes Providencia sp 17(19%) recorded the highest occurrence, followed by Pantoea sp 13(14.4%) and Citrobacter sp 10(11.1%) while Salmonella sp, Cedecea sp, Pseudomonas sp and Yersinia sp had the lowest occurrence (2.2%) each. All the isolates showed resistance to three or more antibiotics used, especially the cephalosporins. The genes found to be responsible for the cephalosporin resistance in some of the isolates were TEM-972 and CTX-M-200. Presence of the multi-antibiotic resistant microorganisms in herbal concoctions poses a serious public health threat.

Sienestystä pohjoisilla puupelloilla: metsien moninaiset taloudet ja plantaasiosentrismin ongelma
Authors: Hyvärinen Pieta
Published: December 2020

Sienestys ja muu keräily on Suomessa suosittua ja laajamittaista. Se sijoittuu useimmiten metsiin, joiden elämää rytmittää päätehakkuiden, istutusten ja harvennusten kierto. Nopeakiertoiseen puuntuotantoon keskittyvä ja sitä erilaisilla materiaalis-semioottisilla käytännöillä ensisijaistava metsätalous nimetään artikkelissa plantaasiosentriseksi, feministisen talousmaantieteen kapitalosentrismin kritiikkiä mukaillen. Plantaasiosentrisissä järjestyksissä plantaasimainen, yksipuolistava, hierarkkisesti järjestynyt, pakotettuun monilajiseen työhön perustuva ja ajallisia katkoksia tuottava alkutuotanto jättää varjoonsa keräilyn kaltaisia moninaisia toimeentulon käytäntöjä ja kaventaa ymmärrystä olemassa olevista ja mahdollisista metsien talouksista. Metsätalouden plantaasiosentrismin ongelmaa lähestytään soveltamalla postkapitalistista metodologiaa eli tarkastelemalla sienestystä omaehtoisena ja elinvoimaisena toimeentulon ja hyvinvoinnin tuottamisen muotona, sekä analysoimalla sen tilanteista ja osittaista yhteen kietoutumista plantaasimaisen tuotannon kanssa. Empiirisesti tarkastelu pohjautuu korvasienestäjien kanssa kerättyyn kävelyhaastatteluaineistoon. Analyysi osoittaa, että vaihtelevan materiaalisen toimeentulon lisäksi ja rinnalla sienestys tuottaa harjoittajilleen hyvinvointia ja merkityksellisiä suhteita. Nämä suhteet eivät ole vain ihmisten välisiä: sienestys avaa mahdollisuuksia tarkastella metsien talouksia osallistumisena monilajisten elämää ylläpitävien verkostojen toimintaan. Plantaasimainen puuntuotanto on kuitenkin toistaiseksi erottamaton osa sienestyksen materiaalisia olosuhteita ja siihen kiinnittyviä ymmärryksiä, ja se muokkaa myös metsän moninaisten talouksien käsitteellistämistä. Plantaaseihin sopeutuminen tai niiden läsnäolon tunnistaminen ei kuitenkaan väistämättä tarkoita plantaasiosentrismiin myöntymistä. Metsiin paikantuva moninainen tuotanto ja sen esiin lukeminen luo ja ylläpitää mahdollisuuksia tulla toimeen paitsi elinympäristöjä raunioittavien käytäntöjen kanssa, myös niistä riippumatta ja niiden jälkeen.

Physico-Chemical Properties of Zn-Fe Alloy Deposits from an Acid Sulphate Bath Containing Triethanolamine
Authors: Narasimhamurthy V. , Shivashankarappa L.H.
Published: December 2020

The composition, properties, structure and morphology of electrodeposited Zn-Fe alloy deposits obtained from an acid sulphate bath containing triethanolamine have been investigated. A bath containing less zinc (20%) produced an alloy deposit with higher zinc content (80%), i.e. anomalous co-deposition process. The composition of alloy remained constant with pH of the plating bath and thickness of the alloy deposit. The cathodic current efficiency depends on plating variables. The shift in deposition potentials of Zn-Fe alloy is a chief cause in the co-deposition process to produce alloy of varying composition. Phase structure determination by X-ray diffraction studies showed a wide variety of inter metallic phases. Zn-Fe alloy showed a superior corrosion resistance than zinc coatings. An alloy containing greater than 40% Fe showed a good paintability. Hardness of the alloy deposits increased with increase in iron content in the alloy. Smooth, uniform and fine grained deposits were obtained for the Zn-Fe alloy containing 20% Fe.

Published: December 2020

Satellite remote detecting instruments have been to a great extent used to evaluate air pollutants on the ground and their impacts on human wellbeing. These instruments play an essential job by assessing emanations and air quality models yield. The study concentrated on the analysis of monthly data for the period January 2003 -December 2016 using remote sensing technology and via satellite data products for NASA's Earth navigation satellite. The tools used are Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrophotometer (MODIS), Multi-angle Imaging Spectrophotometer (MISR), the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), and the Retrospective Analysis of Modern Times for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2). Sudan is influenced by airborne particles because of its diverse climate systems, which differ from the desert in the north to poor savanna in the center and to rich savanna in the south. The impact of air pollution is obvious during these years in Sudan. Likewise, OMI trace gas vertical column observations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) watched higher convergences of tropospheric column NO2 in 2016 than in 2005 over Khartoum that recommends NOx emissions have increased in the city over this time period. The most elevated grouping of dust, a particulate matter (PM2.5), observed in March 2012 over Khartoum state. The highest concentration of sulfur dioxide (SO2) saw by MERRA-2 over Kuwait and South Sudan during December 2015. Noteworthy centralization concentration of black carbon observed over Iraq, Egypt, Central Africa, and South Sudan in December 2015. The most contamination from carbon monoxide watched by MERRA-2 over Iraq and north of Uganda during December 2014.

Authors: Che Ku Hafeez Che Ku Denang , Daljit Singh Karam Singh , Arifin Abdu , Keeren Sundara Rajoo
Published: December 2020

Due to limited area for dumping empty fruit bunch (EFB), an environmentally sustainable approach of EFB utilization is needed in oil palm plantations. The estimated production of EFB generated from 100 tons of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) is about 20%, which is equivalent to 20 tons. A study was conducted in 2015 at an 8-year-old oil palm estate owned by Ladang Rakyat Trengganu Sdn. Bhd. (LRTSB), located in Cheneh, Terengganu. It is estimated that the LRTSB palm oil mill’s annual production is about 240 000 – 250 000 tons of FFB that will produce about 48 000 – 50 000 tons of EFB. In this research, the application of EFB at different rates of 60 t/ha (T1), 80 t/ha (T2) and 0 t/ha (T3) were conducted from 2015-2019. The EFB was applied along the frond heap (alternate row), once a year. The data collected consisted of oil palm yield, soil chemical properties and cost benefit analysis. Results showed that after 6 years of EFB application, the oil palm yield increased when compared to the plot without EFB application. In addition, the EFB helped in increasing soil nutrient content, moisture and reduced soil compaction. In short, application of EFB increased soil fertility and improved oil palm yield.

This study examines the interaction of culture and personality on how Javanese Indonesians mould their commitment by displaying loyalty or neglect behaviours. The hypotheses are tested with Structural Equation Modelling in a sample of 250 government employees. Likeability is revealed as the unique trait of respondents - that they attempt to avoid conflict and maintain harmony. Improper cultural manage-ment practices result in employees continuing “business as usual”, but their productivity is extremely low.
Benchmarking the Performing Arts: a Price Level Index for Publicly Funded German Music Theatres
Authors: Busche Alexander
Published: December 2020

There is a constantly growing gap between rising fixed costs and stagnating revenues in German publicly funded music theatres (PGMTs). The structural crisis can be assumed to be even worse after a restart of the performing arts following the COVID-19 pandemic. The potential of pricing policy, which has been fundamentally verified in literature, is not systematically exploited in PGMTs. The data situation in Ger-many regarding theatres in general is quite comprehensive and not comparable to the rest of the world. But one important key figure is missing for implementing a more revenue-oriented price policy: the av-erage price level of PGMTs. Although there already exist quite comprehensive studies by Schößler (2016) on pricing in publicly funded German theatres (PGTs) and by Ozeghov and Ozhegova (2018) on price discrimination, there is no assessment of the general price structure for PGMTs. The goal of this study is to fill this gap in research, giving an average price level for PGMTs as well as introducing a PGMT index as a basis for a more differentiated price policy and benchmarking.

Utilization of Industrialized Building System (IBS) becomes increasingly dominant in the construction of affordable housing in Malaysia. Theoretically, utilization of IBS system can benefit to reduce the affordable housing price due to the less labor involvement and short constructions time. However, current IBS usage in housing construction still cannot fulfill the affordable housing demand especially in term of price and housing quality. Recent study reveals the lack adoption of IBS component in construction industry mainly caused by poor perception among stakeholder toward the system. Hence, some alterations in the supply of the IBS component essential to being prepared in order to reach the price target to permit all middle-income groups to own the quality house. Construction industry also can explore the other types of IBS system focusing on lightweight types such as wood or steel system which clearly could give benefit to the housing industry on faster works and high housing quality. Due to strong and durable characteristic of lightweight steel panel, it can be seen as an alternative component to be explored to enhance construction practices of affordable housing project. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to identify the potential of lightweight steel panel system to be implemented for affordable housing project. Accordingly, for the highlight in reducing affordable housing price integrate with provision of good quality housing this research focus on feedback from developer about the proposed lightweight steel panel system. This research conducted an interview with six project managers with more than three years working experience in housing construction project at South of Peninsular Malaysia. Developer’s experience in affordable housing project mainly for landed house is coinciding because of lightweight steel panel system suitability for not more than two stories house. The result reveals that, respondent prefer to the advantages of lightweight steel panel system in term of faster installation works, low maintenance work, flexibility and smart construction. In conclusion, the ability of the system to decrease housing price at the same time sustain the desired quality of housing will increase ability and satisfaction for middle-income earner to own the house.

The progress of the COVID-19 pandemic initiated research to develop vaccines against this novel coronavirus infection. The WHO and national regulatory authorities in many countries have elaborated guidelines to speed up the development and authorisation of COVID-19 vaccines.

The aim of the study was to analyse international and Russian regulatory recommendations for the development and fast-track approval of COVID-19 vaccines in the context of the pandemic, as well as to summarise the preliminary published results of the first stages of preclinical and clinical studies. The paper analyses approaches to fast-track approval of medicines in the face of the pandemic in Russia, the European Union, and the United States. It summarises regulatory requirements for the quality of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as for preclinical, and clinical studies. It describes the first results of COVID-19 vaccine development. The analysed regulatory documents allow for accelerated authorisation due to reduction of time spent on evaluation of vaccine quality, safety, and efficacy. Another option is the so-called conditional marketing authorisation when a vaccine is registered based on incomplete preclinical and clinical data provided that all the studies will be completed after the vaccine authorisation. The paper summarises the results of clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines. The few published preliminary results of the first phases of COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials demonstrate the vaccines’ good tolerability, safety, and immunogenicity. Evaluation of adenovirusbased vaccines showed that almost half of the volunteers had had high antibody titers to adenovirus before the study, which resulted in milder adverse reactions and low immunogenicity. In addition, the immune response was weaker in the older group of subjects (45–60 years) as compared to the subjects younger than 45 years. The results of the analysis of regulatory requirements for the development and marketing authorisation of COVID-19 vaccines in the context of the pandemic, as well as of national and international regulatory approaches to vaccine development and authorisation can be used as a basis for the development of Russian requirements for COVID-19 vaccines in the context of the pandemic.
TRACES OF PERSIAN LITERATURE ON NAIM FRASHERI’S POETRY
Authors: REXHEPI Abdulla , XHAFÇE Zeqije
Published: December 2020

This paper deals with the traces of Persian literature on Naim Frasheri’s poetry. It also explores literary and extra literary factors that were of crucial significance during the process of his intellectual formation and ontological manifestation. The paper argues that author’s ideas are the result of the interactions of different cultures, in our case Persian and Albanian cultures. We try to comprehend the social environment and presumptive reasons and sources of author’s motivation and inspiration for his poetic creation. The extra literary factors which have been connecting the poet to Persian language and literature and some epistemes traced in Naim’s poetry were found to be related to epistemic circulation of cultural and literary societies during the Ottoman Empire in the Balkan Region. In this context, special attention has been given to the influences, concepts, archetypes and topics of Persian literature in Naim’s poetry in order to identify the most significant Persian traces in the epistemology and ontology of the Albanian people and their culture. A comparative analysis was conducted on the basis of the letters of poets such as Mewlana, Sa’adi and Hafiz Shirazi within the scope of this study.

Anxiety and Depression Related Abnormalities in Socio-affective Learning
Authors: Hammond Dylan , Xu Pengfei , Ai Hui , Van Dam Nicholas T
Published: December 2020

High anxiety may be related insufficient sensitivity to changing reinforcement during operant learning. Whether such findings are specific to anxiety is unclear given a wider literature relating negative affect to abnormal learning and the possibility that relationships are not consistent across incentive types (i.e. punishment and reward) and outcomes (i.e., positive or negative). In two separate samples ( = 76; = 49), participants completed an operant learning task with positive, negative, and neutral socio-affective feedback, designed to assess adaptive responses to changing environmental volatility. Contrary to expectations, general affective distress, rather than anxiety or depression specifically, was related to an increase, rather than a decrease, in the rate of learning for negative outcomes in volatile, relative to stable, environments. Our results suggest an important but general role in anxiety and depression of overweighting negative feedback when the value of an action becomes uncertain, as when environmental volatility increases.
Spillover Effects When Taking Turns in Dyadic Coping: How Lingering Negative Affect and Perceived Partner Responsiveness Shape Subsequent Support Provision

Published: December 2020

When experiencing personal distress, people usually expect their romantic partner to be supportive. However, when put in a situation to provide support, people may at times (still) be struggling with issues of their own. This interdependent nature of dyadic coping interactions as well as potential spillover effects are mirrored in the state-of-the-art research method to behaviorally assess couple’s dyadic coping processes. This paradigm typically includes two video-taped eight-minute dyadic coping conversations in which partners swap roles as sharer and support provider. Little is known about how such dyadic coping interactions may feed back into one another, impacting the motivation and ability to be a responsive support provider. In three behavioral studies, we examined how sharers’ experiences may spill over to affect their own support provision in a subsequent dyadic coping interaction. We hypothesized that the extent to which sharers perceive their partner as responsive to their self-disclosure increases the quality of their own subsequent support provision (Hypothesis 1), whereas sharers’ lingering negative affect reduces the quality of their subsequent support provision (Hypothesis 2). In line with our first hypothesis, perceived partner responsiveness predicted the provision of higher-quality support, though primarily as perceived by the partner. Sharers who perceived their partner to have been more responsive were somewhat more likely to subsequently engage in positive dyadic coping, and were rated as more responsive by their partners. Negative dyadic coping behavior was unaffected. Evidence for our second hypothesis was mixed. While lingering negative affect did not affect positive dyadic coping behavior or perceived support, it did increase the chances of negative dyadic coping behavior. However, given the very low occurrences of negative affect and negative dyadic coping, these findings should be interpreted with caution. Taken together, these findings suggest that support interactions may feed back into one another, highlighting the complex and interdependent nature of dyadic coping. The strongest and most consistent findings concerned the spillover effect of perceived partner responsiveness on subsequent perceived support quality, speaking to the key role of believing that one’s partner is responsive to one’s needs in promoting healthy relationship functioning.

Attention can be focused on specific locations in our visual field (space-based attention), but also spreads along objects (object-based attention). However, the effects of object-based attention are not as prevalent as effects of space-based attention and prone to large individual differences. Here we investigated whether the low prevalence of object-based effects is related to individual differences in the temporal dynamics of attentional selection. In a two-rectangle discrimination task, we manipulated cue-to-target intervals from 50 to 600 ms. Space- and object-based effects were measured on group level and for individual participants. We used bootstrapping to highlight cue-to-target intervals with maximal space- and object-based effects, and fast Fourier transform (FFT) to investigate the rhythmic sampling of locations within and between objects. Whereas overall, space-based effects were robust and stable across all cue-to-target intervals for most participants, object-based effects were small and were only found for a small subset of participants. In the frequency domain, we did not observe rhythmic sampling at locations within and between objects, and only a few participants showed significant periodicities. Our findings confirm inter-individual variability in the temporal dynamics of object-based effects and emphasize the importance of considering individual variations in theories on visual attention.

Since the introduction of social media platforms, researchers have investigated how the use of such media affects adolescents’ well-being. Thus far, findings have been inconsistent. The aim of our interdisciplinary project is to provide a more thorough understanding of these inconsistencies by investigating who benefits from social media use, who does not and why it is beneficial for one yet harmful for another. In this presentation, we explain our approach to combining social scientific self-report data with the use of deep learning to analyze personal Instagram archives.

Published: December 2020

Background: As documented in many studies, anterior shoulder dislocation can be effectively immobilized in both external and internal rotation positions, with favorable outcomes. However, controversy exists about the superiority of the technique of immobilization to achieve the reduced rate of redislocation. We conducted this study to assess the functional outcome of immobilization of shoulder in external rotation position after relocation in patients with acute anterior shoulder dislocation.

Methods: This is hospital based cross-sectional study in total of 36 patients of primary anterior dislocation of shoulder. They were managed with closed reduction and immobilization in external rotation position and followed up for up to twelve months. Functional outcome (including re-dislocation rate) during each follow-up visit was assessed by using ROWE Score.

Results: The mean age of the participants was 29.6±7.9 years (range: 17-44 years). Of them, 89.9% were male; and 55.6% were involved in risky jobs. Similarly, 50% of them sustained injury due to slip and fall, 72.2% presented to the hospital within 12 hours; and 69.4% had their right side involved. All the patients were compliant with treatment regime; 77.8% tolerated the brace well and the redislocation rate was 8.3%. ROWE score was found to be significantly increased between subsequent follow-up visits (p<0.05), except between six months and 12 months (p>0.05). Overall, ROWE score varied significantly across the total follow-up period (p<0.05).

Conclusions: Immobilization in external rotation position in traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation was a simple and easy method of conservative treatment with good patient compliance, less incidence of re-dislocation and good functional outcome.

Published: December 2020

Background: Thyroid dysfunction is common feature among patients presenting with depression. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with depression attending Psychiatry outpatient department of College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Chitwan, Nepal and to investigate its relationship with the severity of depression.

Methods: A total of 259 who attended the Psychiatry OPD of College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital were enrolled over a period of 6 months after taking informed written consent. These patients were diagnosed as depression as per the ICD-10/ DCR criteria. The severity of illness was determined by using HAM-D. Thyroid profiling was done against common thyroid hormones TSH, FT3 and FT4 by standard method. Data was analyzed using SPSS.

Results: Among 259 patients, thirty patients (18.40%) were found to have thyroid dysfunction, sub-clinical hypothyroidism was seen in 23 (14.1%) followed by 3.1% with overt hypothyroidism and 1.2% with overt  hyperthyroidism. However, there was no significant association found between severity of depression and thyroid dysfunction.

Conclusions: This study concluded that there was high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with major depression. Thus screening of thyroid test among depressive patients may be helpful in proper management of cases.

Introduction: Breech is the commonest malpresentation. The objective of this study is to find out the prevalence of breech presentation at term. It also aims to present the mode of delivery conducted and to highlight the maternal and fetal complications associated with it. Methods:  This   was   a   descriptive   cross-sectional   study   conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of College of Medical Sciences done over a period of 2 years. All term pregnant women (≥ 37 weeks) aged 16 years and above, admitted to the maternity and labor ward with the diagnosis of singleton breech presentation during the study period were included in the study. Results: The incidence of breech presentation at term was 5.03%. Out of these, only 7 (18.92%) patients underwent breech vaginal delivery. Mean maternal age was 28.07 (± 11.56) years and  majority were primigravidae. The mean birth weight of newborn was 2.8±0.5 kg. Conclusions: Breech presentation can result in both maternal and fetal complications. Skills related to conducting delivery in  breech presentation must be learned by all those who manage pregnant women.

Published: December 2020

Background: The patients with head injury have reduced consciousness, they are prone to aspirations of oral secretions. The tracheotomized patients are colonized mostly by gram negative bacteria and are likely develop pneumonia causing life threatening consequences due to severe, persistent, resistant infections. This study was undertaken to identify the common organisms which cause respiratory tract infection and their Antibiogram of ventilated patients in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit. 

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antibiotisc susceptibility analysis of Endotracheal aspirates of the patients who were admitted in Neurosurgical intensive care unit, College of medical sciences, teaching hospital, Bharatpur, for a period from October 2019 to July 2020. Aspirates were cultured onto Blood agar, McConkey and Chocolate agar. Isolation and identification was done using conventional techniques and Biochemical reactions. Antibiotic susceptibility was done by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method as per CLSI guidelines.

Results: Out of 163 samples, 147(90.18%) were culture positive. 78 samples were found to be polymicrobial. 16 samples showed no growth. Acinetobacter baumanii (36.05%) was the most common isolate followed by Enterobacter sp (25.85%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (15.65%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (13.61%), Escherichia coli (5.44%), Citrobacter freundii (2.04%), and Staphylococcus aureus (1.36%). The gram negative bacilli were all sensitive to colistin. Comparatively, they were also sensitive to Imipenem, Meropenem, Cefaperozone/sulbactam. Staphylococcus aureus is sensitive to Vancomicin.

Conclusions: Respiratory tract infection in intubated patients is risk factors which lead to morbidity and mortality. Inappropriate and inadequate antibiotic treatment causes emergence of drug resistance in pathogens and poor prognosis in patients. The study reported the alarming condition of MDR in tracheal aspirates. Hence, surveillance for source of multi drug resistant bacteria would be beneficial for intervention of infection related to it.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Empyema thoracis (ET) is an accumulation of pus in the pleural space. Considering the advantages of Video Assisted Thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), including reduced length of hospitalisation, lower postoperative morbidity and mortality, VATS is the treatment of choice for cases of stage 3 empyema. The objective of this study was to study the age-sex profile, clinical presentation, etiologic agents, management and the overall treatment outcome of empyema thoracis after early VATS in children.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study, conducted in the Department of Paediatrics, Rangadore Memorial Hospital, Bangalore, from November 2018 to March 2020. All children in the age group of 0 to 18 years diagnosed to have pyogenic empyema and presenting in stage 1 and 2 during the study period were included in the study. In the present study, 15 children were found to be having empyema (stage 1 and 2).

Results: Majority of patients (66.6%) were seen in the age group of one to five years. Fever (100%), breathlessness (66.66%), and cough (80%) were the commonest presenting features. Bacteriological isolation was possible only in three cases (20%). Patients were treated with antibiotics and primary VATS in majority of cases (55.33%). Average duration of hospital stay in VATS group was 12.11 days.

Conclusions: Empyema thoracis mainly affects younger children. Common presenting features are fever, difficulty in breathing and cough.  Appropriate antibiotics and early VATS may be acceptable modality for management of pyogenic empyema thoracis in children.
