Morozov Children’s City Clinical Hospital, almost in the first months of the development of the COVID-19 epidemic, began to admit not only patients with acute infection, but mainly with combined comorbid pathology. Based on a retrospective analysis of 290 medical records of children hospitalized with COVID-19 at the Children’s City Clinical Hospital, an analysis of children admitted to the hospital with predominantly comorbid pathology was carried out between April 2020 and September 2020. Six of these children had a fatal outcome. Most children were in the first 3 years of life (38,4 %) and puberty (37,3 %). The diagnoses of hospitalized patients were varied: pneumonia — 41 (14,4 %), surgical pathology and trauma — 69 (24,3 %), somatic pathology — 120 (42,3 %), including: diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and urinary tract pathways, hematological diseases, neurological, type I diabetes mellitus, joint diseases, diseases of the newborn period, oncological diseases, diseases of the cardiovascular system. To diagnose covid pneumonia, along with rapid methods of SARS-COV2, computed tomography of the lungs was used. Analyzing the course of diseases in surgical children, it can be noted that coronavirus infection did not affect the course of the underlying disease. At the same time, COVID-19 infection in hematological patients provoked a worsening of the condition with symptoms of an acute respiratory viral infection (hyperthermia, weakness, cough, rhinitis). In patients with symptomatic focal epilepsy and in patients with increased intracranial pressure, SARS-COV-2 caused activation of seizures. It should be noted that the onset of type 1 diabetes was observed in 5 out of 6 admitted children. In these cases, COVID-19 infection was a provoking factor; it also caused an exacerbation in 1 child who had “long-term” diabetes. The article presents case histories and diagnoses of 6 children aged 3 years 9 months to 17 years with deaths, severe comorbid pathology (leukemia, brain stem tumor, immunodeficiency state), in whom COVID-19 infection aggravated the course of the underlying disease with the development of generalized combined bacterial infection, sepsis, bleeding.

Published: March 2024

Kyphoscoliotic type of Ehlers–Danlo syndrome occurs in the practice of doctors of different specialties. The main manifestations of the disease are congenital muscular hypotonia, progressive kyphoscoliosis, generalized joint hypermobility, dislocation/subluxation of the joints. In recent years, special attention has been paid to the fragility of blood vessels characteristic of patients, which usually has serious consequences.

   Purpose: the study aims at clarifying the clinical characteristics of type 1 kyphoscoliotic Ehlers–Danlo syndrome based on the analysis of the clinical findings observed in 2 patients with severe vascular disorders. Data from clinical and molecular genetic examination of 2 children (girl and boy) 17 and 13 years old from unrelated families are presented.

   The diagnosis of type 1 kyphoscoliotic Ehlers–Danlo syndrome was established in accordance with the diagnostic criteria according to the International Classification 2017. Children showed severe vascular disorders in the neonatal period, ruptures of medium-caliber arteries in adolescence. Genomic sequencing in both patients revealed a pathogenic nucleotide variant in the PLOD1 gene — duplication of the 11959421–11968422 chromosome 1 region in the homozygous state. The results of literature analysis and own observations of 2 patients with type 1 kyphoscoliotic Ehlers–Danlo syndrome indicate the severity and rather high incidence of vascular disorders, which should be considered when developing recommendations for the medical management of patients.
Creatinine as a predictor of muscle mass deficiency in patients with severe cerebral palsy
Authors: Evreinov V. V. , Zhirova T. A.
Published: March 2024

Energy processes in muscles can be reflected by the creatine phosphokinase system of ATP resynthesis from ADP and creatine phosphate. The product of non-enzymatic degradation of creatine (creatine phosphate) is creatinine, which accumulates in the blood serum, and its concentration correlates with the volume of the patient’s muscle tissue, subject to the normal functioning of the kidneys.

   Purpose. To assess the perioperative serum creatinine level as a biological marker of muscle mass in patients with severe forms of cerebral palsy, IV–V level according to GMFCS, during orthopedic interventions on the hip joint.

   Material and methods. A prospective clinical observational study included 82 patients with severe forms of cerebral palsy, spastic dislocations (subluxations) of the hips, for which reconstructive or palliative interventions were performed on the hip joints. The trophological status of children was assessed before surgery, the level of serum creatinine was determined in the intraoperative period, on the first postoperative day, and on the fifth day after surgery.

   Results. The circumference of the middle third of the shoulder in 28 % of patients, as well as the thickness of the skin-fat fold over the triceps in 61 % of children were below the 10th centile, which was regarded as malnutrition. The calculated proportion of body fat equal to 10 [8; 20] % in combination with the circumference of the muscles of the middle third of the shoulder suggest a combination of protein-energy deficiency and muscle mass deficiency in 1/5 of the patients. Creatinine indicators at all stages of observation corresponded to the minimum age norm or were below these values, tended to decrease and had a random agreement (W = 0,129).

   Conclusion. The level of creatinine in the blood serum correlates with the «shoulder muscle circumference» parameter in children with severe forms of cerebral palsy, severe movement disorders of IV–V level according to GMFCS. Plasma creatinine can be used as a biological marker of skeletal muscle mass in patients with severe cerebral palsy.

Syndromic craniosynostosis is a special group of hereditary pathologies. One of the syndromic craniosynostoses is Crouzon syndrome, an autosomal dominant pathology of the primary violation of the fusion of cranial sutures. It occurs with a frequency of 1:60,000 newborns. The disease leads to a number of secondary complications, such as exophthalmos, orthognathic problems, impaired vision, hearing, breathing, lag in neuropsychic development. The development of Crouzon syndrome is associated with a missense mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 (FGFR2) gene. In modern medicine, a variant of Crouzon syndrome with black acanthosis is also known, the development of which is associated with a mutation in the FGFR3 gene. The similarity of clinical manifestations as with others syndromic craniosynostoses, also between 2 variants of Crouzon syndrome, leads to difficulties in differential diagnostic search. Knowledge and awareness of the full clinical presentation of this syndrome makes it possible to timely diagnose and treat, prevent possible severe complications and improve the quality of life of patients with Crouzon syndrome. This article describes 2 clinical cases with mutations in the FGFR2 and FGFR3 genes.

Background: Cancer survivorship has increased in South Asia, negatively impacting their health and wellbeing in terms of mental, social, emotional, physical, and economic well-being. Several factors, including sociodemographic, clinical, treatment-related, behavioral, and psychosocial aspects, all have an substantial effect on of QOL of cancer survivors. Our aim is to determine QOL among cancer survivors in South Asia, challenges faced by cancer survivors, factors enhancing and deteriorating QOL, and measures that can be taken to improve QOL. Method: We conducted a systematic literature review and systematically assessed the literature to identify relevant research about South Asian cancer survivors' quality of life in English only. We searched two databases (Google Scholar, and PubMed), In each of which we searched and selected all the articles and research having the keywords: Cancer survivors, quality of life, and South Asia. After reading the abstract and titles of the study, we read full articles and retrieved data according to PRISMA. The data extracted was compiled through Microsoft Excel. No meta-analysis and quantitative syntheses were done. Results: A total of 20 articles were identified. Of which 60% showed a negative effect on various domains of QOL of cancer survivors in South Asian countries. Most common factors identified were chemotherapy and effects of low of self-esteem, sexual dysfunction, limb impairment and physical restriction. Only 10 % of reviewed articles (2 articles) did not show a decline in QOL in cancer survivors. Conclusion: It has been found that there is a general detrimental influence on the quality living of cancer sufferers in this part of the world. Given the grave consequences, awareness must be raised to combat such dire circumstances and alleviate the overall quality care.

Published: March 2024

Background: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) often necessitates admission to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) for specialized care.– Among the various complications associated with HIE, hypoglycemia is a notable concern due to its potential to exacerbate neurological injury and compromise neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, the frequency of hypoglycemia in neonates with HIE, particularly in resource-limited settings like Pakistan, remains poorly characterized. Objectives: Aim of this study is to determine the frequency of hypoglycemia in neonates with HIE admitted to the NICU of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. By systematically reviewing medical records, this study is aimed to describe the prevalence of hypoglycemia in this population.Methods: Medical records of neonates diagnosed with HIE and admitted to the NICU were reviewed from July 2023 to October 2023. Data on demographic characteristics, perinatal history, clinical presentation, laboratory investigations including blood glucose levels, and neurodevelopmental outcomes were extracted. The frequency of hypoglycemia was determined as the proportion of neonates with documented hypoglycemia among all neonates diagnosed with HIE during the study period. Results: Among the cohort of neonates diagnosed with HIE (n = 120), 20.8% were found to experience hypoglycemic episodes during their hospital stay. Subgroup analyses revealed associations between hypoglycemia and variables such as gestational age, birth weight, and severity of HIE. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the demographic characteristics of this population, providing context for understanding the prevalence and implications of hypoglycemia in neonates with HIE. Conclusion: This study highlights the prevalence of hypoglycemia as a common metabolic disturbance in neonates with HIE, underscoring the need for vigilant monitoring and prompt intervention in this vulnerable population. Standardized protocols for managing hypoglycemia in neonates with HIE are imperative to optimize clinical outcomes.

Published: March 2024

Most people who live in rural areas are highly dependent on shared access to natural resources including land, water, and forests for their food requirements and livelihoods. However, land degradation remains one of the biggest environmental problems worldwide. Therefore, this study proposed to develop integrated watershed management strategies for sustainable resource utilization in the Kalte River watershed. To achieve this, the SWAT model was simulated for 31 years (1992–2022), calibrated and validated at Wajifo and Humbo hydrological stations to determine the sediment and runoff from the watershed, highly sediment erosion-vulnerable part of the watershed was identified from the result of the model and the best watershed management practice was suggested for the study watershed. In total, 87,920 tons/year of sediment are yielded to Lake Abaya from the Kalte River watershed. The sediment yield was reduced by terracing at 64%, strip cropping at 59.32%, grassed waterway at 54.06%, and contour planting at 47.93%. Therefore, the highest efficiency management method in the Kalte River watershed is terracing. The watershed managers and scientific community are beneficiaries of the output of this study. Watershed managers and decision-makers can make use of the information to help them choose appropriate watershed management strategies and ensure sustainable watershed management.

Published: March 2024

To achieve sustainable development goals in Huangshui River Basin (HRB), strengthening adaptive water resources management under the dual impact of climate change (CC) and human interventions (HI) is of great significance. Multiple mathematical and statistical methods were employed to determine the runoff trend and breakpoint in HRB. The elasticity of CC and HI on the runoff decline and their contributions were quantitatively discerned based on the Budyko hypothesis, complementary method, and SWAT hydrological model. The results show that (1) the runoff showed a decreasing trend, with a runoff breakpoint in 1990; (2) the elasticity coefficients indicated a 1% increase in P, ET0, and n, leading to a 2.19% increase, a 1.19% decrease, and a 1.52% decrease in the runoff, respectively; (3) the Budyko framework determined the contribution of CC and HI to runoff decline in HRB to be 37.98–41.86% and 58.14–62.02%, respectively, and that estimated by SWAT hydrological model to be 38.72 and 61.28%, respectively; (4) HI were the primary factor for runoff decline in HRB, where direct anthropogenic disturbances such as water withdrawals and water conservancy project construction were the main drivers. The findings have important scientific significance for water resources planning and management in HRB.

UNSTRUCTURED

As advances in artificial intelligence (AI) continue to transform and revolutionize the field of medicine, understanding the potential uses of generative AI in health care becomes increasingly important. Generative AI, including models such as generative adversarial networks and large language models, shows promise in transforming medical diagnostics, research, treatment planning, and patient care. However, these data-intensive systems pose new threats to protected health information. This Viewpoint paper aims to explore various categories of generative AI in health care, including medical diagnostics, drug discovery, virtual health assistants, medical research, and clinical decision support, while identifying security and privacy threats within each phase of the life cycle of such systems (ie, data collection, model development, and implementation phases). The objectives of this study were to analyze the current state of generative AI in health care, identify opportunities and privacy and security challenges posed by integrating these technologies into existing health care infrastructure, and propose strategies for mitigating security and privacy risks. This study highlights the importance of addressing the security and privacy threats associated with generative AI in health care to ensure the safe and effective use of these systems. The findings of this study can inform the development of future generative AI systems in health care and help health care organizations better understand the potential benefits and risks associated with these systems. By examining the use cases and benefits of generative AI across diverse domains within health care, this paper contributes to theoretical discussions surrounding AI ethics, security vulnerabilities, and data privacy regulations. In addition, this study provides practical insights for stakeholders looking to adopt generative AI solutions within their organizations.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where resources and infrastructure for an adequate response are limited. The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS) was introduced in 2016 to address these challenges, outlining recommendations for priority pathogen-antibiotic combinations. Despite this initiative, implementation in Africa remains understudied. This scoping review aims to assess the current state of implementing WHO GLASS recommendations on antimicrobial sensitivity testing (AST) in Africa.

OBJECTIVE

The primary objective of this study is to determine the current state of implementing the WHO GLASS recommendations on AST for priority pathogen-antimicrobial combinations. The review will further document if the reporting of AST results is according to “susceptible,” “intermediate,” and “resistant” recommendations according to GLASS.

METHODS

Following the methodological framework by Arksey and O’Malley, studies published between January 2016 and November 2023 will be included. Search strategies will target electronic databases, including MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL, and Embase. Eligible studies will document isolates tested for antimicrobial sensitivity, focusing on WHO-priority specimens and pathogens. Data extraction will focus on key study characteristics, study context, population, and adherence to WHO GLASS recommendations on AST. Descriptive statistics involving summarizing the quantitative data extracted through measures of central tendency and variation will be used. Covidence and Microsoft Excel software will be used. This study will systematically identify, collate, and analyze relevant studies and data sources based on clear inclusion criteria to provide a clear picture of the progress achieved in the implementation of the WHO GLASS recommendations. Areas for further improvement will be documented to inform future efforts to strengthen GLASS implementation for enhanced AMR surveillance in Africa.

RESULTS

The study results are expected in August 2024.

CONCLUSIONS

To our knowledge, this scoping review will be the first to comprehensively examine the implementation of WHO GLASS recommendations in Africa, shedding light on the challenges and successes of AMR surveillance in the region. Addressing these issues aims to contribute to global efforts to combat AMR.

Artikel ini menggambarkan bagaimana peminggiran perempuan terjadi akibat modernisasi yang menyentuh Dusun Wintaos, Gunungkidul. Peminggiran yang membuat perempuan menjadi sekunder dalam mengakses kesempatan kerja baru. Modernisasi dan kemudahan akses transportasi, komunikasi dan pendidikan mendorong usia produktif, terutama laki-laki, meninggalkan pertanian demi mengejar pendapatan cepat dan ajeg melalui kerja-kerja off/non-farm. Dibandingkan perempuan, laki-laki lebih mudah mengakses pekerjaan non/off farm. Pekerjaan off/non-farm membuat laki-laki meninggalkan pertanian sehingga relasi kolaborasinya dengan perempuan dalam pertanian pecah. Perempuan menanggung kekurangan tenaga kerja pada kegiatan budi daya tani. Akibatnya, perempuan tertinggal dan menjadi pelaku utama budi daya tani entek amek. Perubahan ini tercermin dari bergesernya sistem nilai yang dianut, dimana “entek golek” ((jika) habis mencari) meninggalkan “entek amek” ((jika) habis (bisa) memetik).

Hasil penelitian didapatkan skor koefisien korelasi antara presentasi diri customer service dengan loyalitas nasabah r = 0,154dan p = 0,127 menunjukkan hubungan antara dua variabel tersebut tidak signifikan hal ini diketahui dari nilai p = 0,127 >0,05. Hasil penelitian tersebut tidak sejalan dengan hipotesis peneliti, oleh karena itu H0 penelitian ini ditolak yang artinya tidak ada hubungan antara presentasi diri customer service dengan loyalitas nasabah. Selain itu hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa kontribusi variabel presentasi diri customer service sebesar 2,4% terhadap terjadinya perubahan skor pada loyalitas nasabah. Sedangkan 97,6% loyalitas nasabah dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor lainnya. Kata kunci: Presentasi diri, loyalitas, nasabah bank. One of factor customer switching from one bank to another is cause a poor service from the bank especially customer service in effect causing the loyalty of customer in low level. The goal from this research is to understand the customer service self presentation to customer loyalty. This research using two scale, there are customer service self presentation and customer loyalty. This research involved 100 respondence, which using quota sampling techniques. And the data technical analysis using product moment correlation. The final research get correlation coeficient score between customer service self presentation and customer loyalty r = 0,154 and p = 0,127 which shows the relationship between the two variables was not significant, it is known from the values p = 0,127 > 0,05. This research is different with my hypotesa, so this H0 research is refuse that means there is no relation between customer service self presentation and customer loyalty. Otherwise this research shows that customer service self presentation contribution variables about 2,4% that causing score changing to customer loyalty, otherwise 97,6% customer loyalty is influence by other factors. Keywords: Self presentation, loyalty, bank customer.

Published: March 2024

Problem statement . Effective organization of extracurricular work for future bachelors involves the construction of individual learning trajectories, based, among other things, on the level of motivation to study specialized disciplines. The expediency of using intelligent information technologies in classifying the composition and forms of independent work of bachelors of applied mathematics is substantiated. Methodology. Applying the developed mobile application, multi-parameter motivational characteristics of students were identified. The resulting motivational profiles are clustered into five motivational groups, similar in sign values. The construction and analysis of multi-parameter classification were carried out via cluster analysis and neural network technologies. Clustering of motivational groups and the application of appropriate strategies for organizing independent work were realized at the Faculty of Computer Technologies and Applied Mathematics of Kuban State University. Results. The constructed neural network classifies the bachelor's motivational profile, assigns him a strategy for independent work, defining the specific values of the variable elements of the strategy. Strategies for organizing independent work have been established for clustered motivational groups. Conclusion. Construction and clustering of motivational profiles allows you to adjust individual strategies for independent learning of bachelors of applied mathematics, determine the values of variable elements and, as a result, not only develop professional skills, but also develop skills in organizing your own work process, resource allocation, and identifying work stages.
