Authors: Vologdina I. V. , Zhabina R. M.
Published: August 2019

Aim. A study of the risk factors for middle-aged and elderly women HER2neu with negative left breast cancer and a normal ejection fraction at the stage of chemoradiotherapy in everyday clinical practice. Matherial and methods. 61 women with left breast cancer without severe cardiovascular pathology were examined at the stage of doxorubicin therapy and 3D conformal radiation therapy. Group 1 comprised 32 patients of middle age (49.8 ± 4.5 years). Group 2 comprised 29 elderly patients (68.3 ± 3.6 years). In addition to Score risk assessment, additional factors, including psychosocial factors, were studied. All patients underwent ECG, echocardiography and 24-hour ECG monitoring. Anxiety levels were assessed using the HADS scale and scale CH. D. Spielberger –Yu.L. Khanin. The study was conducted before the start of treatment, after the completion of the doxorubicin course and after the completion of the course of radiotherapy. Results with discussion. In middle-aged patients, moderate Score risk was found in 21.9%, in the elderly at 58.6% (p = 0.0043, RR 2.68, 95% CI 1.301–5.520). A high Score risk was found in 15.6% of middle-aged patients and 41.4% of elderly patients (p = 0.0438, RR 2.648, 95% CI 1061–6.607). The most common risk factors in the patients studied in addition to age were heredity, overweight, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes mellitus. All examined patients had moderate reactive anxiety. Patients of middle age have moderate personal anxiety, in elderly patients high personal anxiety. After treatment with doxorubicin in a cumulative dose not exceeding 360 mg/m2 , a reduction in the ejection fraction below 50% was found in 6 middle-aged patients and 17.2% in elderly patients. Asymptomatic diastolic dysfunction was detected in 31.3% of middle-aged patients and 55.2% of the elderly. In patients of both groups, after arranging treatment, arrhythmia was detected. Conclusions. The obtained data indicate to the need for in-depth examination of middle-aged and especially elderly patients with left breast cancer with an assessment of risk factors and conducting an in-depth examination using Echocardiography, 24-hour ECG monitoring and psychological testing to prevent and early detection of cardiovascular complications.

Published: August 2019

Background: The knowledge, attitude and behavior of the public during an infectious outbreak is important for individual protection as well as to control the spread of the disease in community. The knowledge, attitude and practices regarding Swine Flu and the correlation between Knowledge and Practices regarding Swine Flu among the parents/guardians accompanying the children attending the pediatric department of KGMCH, Nagercoil was investigated in this study.Method: This cross sectional study was conducted among the parents/guardians accompanying the children attending the pediatric department of KGMCH after the epidemic situation. After obtaining written informed consent, participants were interviewed personally through predesigned and pre-tested questionnaire to elicit information regarding awareness of Swine Flu. All data were analysed using SPSS 25 software.Results: Of the 200 people included in the study, 117 (58.5%) knew that it was a viral disease. Of all the participants, 97(48.5%) knew about the respiratory mode of transmission. Only 28% knew about the hand washing to prevent transmission. Around 93% participants told fever as major symptoms and 71% told cough as a major symptom.55% of the participants were scared regarding the deadly nature of the disease. Only 12.5% of the participants practiced hand washing as a preventive measure. Correlation between Knowledge and practice was weakly positive (Pearson correlation 0.252).Conclusion: Knowledge regarding swine flu was average among the study population. TV, friends news channels and Health care workers were found to be the most common sources of information. Lack of awareness regarding key focus areas like hand washing as a preventive measure is of serious concern.

Published: August 2019

Background: Procalcitonin in cerebrospinal fluid has been evaluated with regard to its usefulness in distinguishing between the possible causative organisms for infections. CSF PCT as a diagnostic marker has also been evaluated for differentiating bacterial from viral meningitis with conflicting results obtained so far. The current study was designed to see the role of procalcitonin as diagnostic marker and in differentiating bacterial from aseptic meningitis in pediatric age group.Methods: Children from 5 months to 15 years of age who were suspected cases of meningitis and were admitted to Pediatric Department in SKIMS Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir were included in this case control prospective study conducted from 2014 to 2016. The total number of 200 children participated in the study among which 100 were cases and 100 controls. Serum and CSF PCT was measured by a fluorescence immunoassay using QDX Instacheck with a detection limit of 0.25-100 ng/ml. Data was analyzed by using standard statistical tests using SPSS 20.Results: The mean CSF PCT in ng/ml in our study for viral meningitis was 0.59±0.43 (range=0.00-1.90), for bacterial meningitis 4.92±1.50 (range=2.89-10.82) and for controls 0.22±0.11 (range=0.00-0.32), respectively. CSF PCT was significantly higher in viral and bacterial meningitis as compared to controls (p<0.01) and significantly higher in bacterial meningitis as compared to viral meningitis (p<0.01). An AUC of 1.000 was established using serum and CSF PCT for bacterial meningitis. The diagnostic accuracy of serum and CSF PCT was almost 100% at cut-off of 2.2 ng/ml and 2.89 ng/ml, respectively.Conclusions: Author have concluded that CSF PCT can be used as a diagnostic marker with better results in differentiation of bacterial from aseptic meningitis.

Authors: C. Raaghul , T. Rajesh N. , Kanagaraju Vikrant , Elangovan Bharathi
Published: August 2019

Background: Chronic abdominal pain is a common gastrointestinal symptom in children that significantly lowers their quality of life. In adults, Gall bladder (GB) hypomotility / dyskinesia is associated with many functional abdominal disorders but there is scarcity of evidence on its role in childhood gastro-intestinal disorders. Aim of the study is to evaluate the GB motility in children with chronic functional abdominal pain (FAP).Methods: Children aged 5-15 years with chronic abdominal pain fulfilling ROME-III criteria and healthy controls were included and all study participants were subjected to ultrasonographic evaluation of the gall bladder volume in fasting state and post - Fatty test meal (FTM) and its ejection fraction was calculated.Results: Sixtysix children including 31 with chronic FAP underwent sonographic evaluation for GB motility. The mean ejection fraction (EF) of cases and controls were 51.72±17.76% and 57.3±23.26% (p value - 0.158). The mean EF of cases with upper abdominal pain and lower/peri-umbilical abdominal pain were 41.7±17.1% and 57.2±15.9% respectively (p value < 0.0001). Increasing BMI had no significant association with GB motility among the participants.Conclusions: There is lack of significant association between children with chronic FAP and GB hypomotility. Children with upper abdominal pain have lesser GB EF, suggesting a possible abnormal GB motility.

Authors: Shukla Santosh K. , Shrivastava Anubha , Mishra Prakash C.
Published: August 2019

Background: Ongoing transfusional iron load (TIL) is an important determinant while deciding starting and subsequent dose adjustment of deferasirox during course of chelation therapy. So present study aims to find out effect of different dosing of deferasirox over the serum ferritin level in children with thalassemia major with impact of rate of transfusional iron load.Methods: This one year observational study was carried out in 35 transfusion dependent β-thalassemic patients aged 2-18 years. Patients with baseline serum ferritin 1000-1500ng/ml and/or receiving TIL 0.2-0.3mg/kg/day were started 20mg/kg/day deferasirox and patients with ferritin>1500ng/ml and/or having TIL > 0.3mg/kg/day were started 30mg/kg/day deferasirox. Serum ferritin was repeated in every three months. Dose adjustments were performed on serum ferritin trends in steps of 5-10mg/kg /day to maximum 40mg/kg/day. Evaluation of relationship between dose adjustment, percentage of reduction in serum ferritin and TIL was done.Results: Group-1 patients(42.8%) had TIL 0.2 to 0.3mg/kg/day whereas Group-2(37.1%) and Group-3(20%) children had TIL >0.3-0.4mg/kg/day and >0.4 mg/kg/day respectively. Starting dose of deferasirox in 25.7% patients was 20mg/kg/day and in rest were 30mg/kg/day. Average dose of deferasirox in group-1 was significantly lower as compared to group-2 and group-3 patients ( p< 0.05). Significant decline in mean serum ferritin was observed in all three groups (p < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between TIL and average drug dose prescribed (r=0.5411and p=0.0007) but negative insignificant correlation was observed with percentage of reduction in serum ferritin(r=0.0027and p=0.98).Conclusions: Deferasirox 30mg/kg/day significantly reduces serum ferritin and is well tolerated in majority of patients having TIL 0.3-0.4mg/kg/day where as 20mg/kg/day is required in patients having low transfusional iron intake.

Authors: Mallick Achinta K.R. , Kumar Shalu S. , Bangari Janki , Suyal Himani
Published: August 2019

Background: Fever in children is the commonest cause for outpatient and inpatient admissions in the health care setup. Though most fever episodes are benign with self-limiting course, it is often a reason for anxiety and concerning for parents. The aim of the study was to assess the parental knowledge, attitude and practice regarding fever in children under five years of age.Methods: A cross-sectional question based survey, conducted in the pediatric department of a peripheral hospital in Pune, Maharashtra from parents of under five children, presenting for any consultation from July 2018 to December 2018.Results: There were 636 respondents who completed the study. 38.1% were males. Mean age of responders was 26.85 years (SD 5.12 Range 18 to 37 years). Most of the population were educated lot. 55.5% responders defined fever correctly. There was a huge gap in the parent’s knowledge attitude and practice in fever and it’s management. Lack of information and fear of any untoward incident occurring due to fever were the reason for parental anxiety, frequent medication & combination antipyretic use, and pressure on part of health professionals to increase antibiotic prescriptions.Conclusions: Lack of parental knowledge of fever and fever management in younger children is of concern in the community in spite of improvement in the educational level of parents. There is a utmost need to spread awareness in the community about the benign and the self-limiting nature of most febrile illnesses.

Authors: Mahesh K. , B. Vishwanath , S. Kalpana
Published: August 2019

Background: Acute Kidney Injury is a common condition in critically ill children, and it is independently associated with increased mortality. Etiology of AKI in admitted patients is multi factorial. The present study was conducted to determine possible etiologies and to know short term outcome.Methods: A prospective case series study was conducted in our PICU from Nov 2014 to October 2015. The cases fulfilling criteria as AKI, as per definition were included in study. The urine output was monitored, base line blood urea and serum creatinine was estimated at admission and on alternate days till recovery. Investigations were done to know exact etiology of prerenal, renal or post renal AKI. Cases were managed accordingly and short term outcome was noted.Results: Out of 150 cases studied, 87(58%) were boys and 63(42%) were girls.  Ninety three cases (62%) had oliguria and remaining patients had non-oliguric AKI. Majority of cases in the study belonged to prerenal AKI, followed by renal and post renal AKI. Amongst 150 cases,136 children managed conservatively,11 cases required hemodialysis and 3 cases peritoneal dialysis. In our study, 16 cases succumbed with mortality of 10.66%.Conclusion: AKI is common associated condition in children admitted to PICU. AKI is commonly seen with acute gastroenteritis with severe dehydration, sepsis, glomerulonephritis and dengue shock syndrome. Most of these conditions are easily preventable. Early and effective management of hypovolemic shock and sepsis is also crucial in prevention of AKI.

Authors: Ghalige Sharath S. , M. Vaideeswaran , S. Mangalabharathi
Published: August 2019

Background: Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a blood product manufactured from pooled plasma. With increasing availability, an increased usage in neonates is being noted, though its utilisation has not been audited thoroughly. The objectives of this study are to describe the usage pattern and indications of IVIG and its outcome in a state-run tertiary care NICU.Methods: This retrospective observational study was carried out at the inborn unit of Department of Neonatology, Madras Medical College, Chennai on a cohort of neonates who received IVIG over 3.5 years from January 2016 to June 2019. Data was collected from drug register, neonatal case records, exchange transfusion register and death register.Results: Our study cohort had 55 neonates who received IVIG over 3.5 years. Indications for IVIG usage were Rh-alloimmunisation (23), ABO-alloimmunisation (7), prophylaxis of perinatal varicella (20), and other immune thrombocytopenia (5). Among 30 neonates with ABO-/Rh-incompatibility, 11 required exchange transfusion (ET). ET rates have shown a decreasing trend during this period. 2 babies with Rh-immunisation and Hydrops expired. None of the babies given prophylaxis for perinatal varicella manifested the disease. Neonates treated for immune thrombocytopenia were successfully discharged.Conclusions: This study shows the IVIG usage pattern in a tertiary care neonatal unit. In neonates with Hemolytic disease due to Rh-/ABO-alloimmunisation treated with IVIG, a reduction in rates of exchange transfusion has been noted. IVIG is being used increasingly for prophylaxis of perinatal varicella and immune related thrombocytopenia with promising benefits. It is prudent to have SOPs for IVIG administration with standardised issue and transfusion forms for documentation to regulate its judicious use.

Published: August 2019

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn is a devastating condition and leads to morbidity and mortality. Even after the increasing use of  NO, ECMO and HFO many patients succumb to death. About 50% of the patients either have rebound hypertension or do not respond to the treatment. Hence the role of phosphodiesterase inhibitors (sildenafil) need to be evaluated. Methods is authors report a retrospective case series of 24 patients with PPHN admitted in NICU and treated with oral sildenafil. Results sildenafil was started on all patients on a mean of 1.46 days and stopped on mean of 3.8 days. Initial fio2 was 100%, which after starting sildenafil decreased gradually to 50% on mean of 10 days. Average length of stay in NICU was 20 days. 17(70.8%) patients survived whereas 7 (29%) expired No improvement in oxygen Index after 48 hours (p<0.05) was the independent predicting risk factor for PPHN related mortality in the expired patients.Conclusion are oral sildenafil can be a used in conjunction with other treatment modalities for PPHN especially in resource limited settings.

Published: August 2019

For more than two decades, there have been efforts to include men in family planning programmes. Male involvement was first echoed on a global scale at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) plan of action, Cairo 1994. This article is aimed at highlighting the importance of male involvement in increasing contraceptive prevalence in Sub-Saharan Africa. A literature search using Google, Google scholar, PubMed, Hinary, Medical textbooks and related journals. Relevant articles were extracted and used for this review. Majority of the literature assessed showed alienation of men in family planning and other reproductive health services despite the declaration made at the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, 1994. Findings also showed significant level of awareness of modern family planning methods amongst men but very low support for its use by themselves and/or their spouses or partners. Some of the reasons for such apathy include fears of side effects, non-availability, high cost and ignorance. The importance of involving men in family planning services cannot be over stressed. There are overwhelming evidence that with male support, there would be greater uptake and sustained use of family planning. This will lead to improved maternal and child health indices especially in our setting where the burden of the morbidity and mortality of maternal and child health is greatest.

Published: August 2019

O presente artigo é parte da pesquisa de doutorado em Educação desenvolvida no programa de Educação da Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR). A ideia central do projeto de tese é analisar a política pública de formação de professores de Geografia no território brasileiro, especificamente enfocando o Programa de Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) de Geografia. Para este recorte de estudo, apresentamos uma pesquisa documental, com a investigação desenvolvida nos principais repositórios nacionais, a partir de palavras-chaves ‘PIBID e PIBID de Geografia’ para levantamento da produção acadêmica sobre o tema. Como resultados verificou-se que dois fatores demonstram a pouca produção sobre o PIBID de Geografia no país: primeiro, o pouco tempo de efetivação da política pública para produção de resultados em pesquisas; e segundo, a contração do campo na pesquisa em Ensino de Geografia nos programas de Pós-graduação de Geografia nas universidades brasileiras.Palavras-chave: GEOGRAFIA; PIBID; FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES.

Published: August 2019

A literatura do campo da formação de professores tem indicado, progressivamente, que os processos formativos, sobretudo aqueles direcionados à formação continuada, demonstram estar aquém do que se espera em termos de efetividade, uma vez que não respondem aos reais anseios dos sujeitos em formação. Diante desse cenário, o presente artigo pretende explicitar o potencial dos estudos das necessidades como constructo teórico para uma nova tessitura de formação continuada. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa de natureza empírica que recorreu à elaboração de entrevista escrita como procedimento de coleta de dados, cujo desígnio foi identificar as principais demandas formativas dos participantes envolvidos – professores, coordenadores pedagógicos, diretores e vice-diretores. Os dados suscitados, apreciados pela Análise de Conteúdo, evidenciaram necessidades coletivas e individuais, permeadas por sentimentos de valorização e desvalorização. Ao serem cotejados com o referencial eleito, tais dados expressaram que a detecção e a análise das necessidades formativas conjecturam um plano de ação diferenciado que consiste em aprimorar questões elementares, como as relações entre pares, o protagonismo profissional e a prática da valorização mútua, para que, somente então, sejam atingidas as questões específicas, como as dificuldades relacionadas ao manejo de conteúdos, à gestão e à inclusão.

Published: August 2019

En este artículo se expone que las causas últimas de la crisis ambiental, y por tanto también la búsqueda de soluciones, requieren una reflexión profunda más allá de criterios científicos, técnicos o económicos. En esta reflexión la ética ambiental puede ser de gran utilidad, toda vez que la planificación y gestión ambiental dependen en gran medida de nuestra visión de la naturaleza y de qué relación mantengamos con nuestro entorno. Por ello, se plantea la conveniencia de una mayor inclusión de consideraciones éticas en las políticas ambientales y en los distintos niveles de planificación y gestión ambiental.

Published: August 2019

The language of Indonesian politics is quite interesting. There are many phenomena of language abuse such as language manipulation and meaning reduction, which often occur. This research is meant to find 1) the form of the polity register, 2) the kinds of meaning polity register and 3) the characteristics of the polity register. Dealing with the research method, the writer applies qualitative method. The writer takes the data from the Indonesian newspaper “Suara Merdeka” which contains register polity. She collects the data by reading, scrutinizing, and listing them. To analyze the data, the writer uses semantic analysis based on Poedjosoedarmo theory to determine the changing meaning of the register. Having analyzed the data, the writer finds two forms of polity register namely: word and phrase. The words are in the form of simple word (26, 7%), compound word (26, 7%), and complex word (24, 4%), abbreviation and blended, each has 2,2%. In the form of phrase (17, 8%) Related to the meaning, the writer finds five kinds of changing meaning, namely: narrower than the real meaning (8, 9%), share some features whereas each of them has different meaning (24, 5%), identical to the real meaning (13,3%), and different from the real meaning (53,3%). Meanwhile, the Language styles of Indonesian polity register are euphemism (57,7%), metaphor (6,7%), hyperbola (13,3%), and metonymy (22,2%). The result of this research shows that the biggest amount of the register meaning of the Indonesian polity is different from the real meaning and tends to be euphemism. Those phenomena indicate that the polity register used by Indonesian politician tends to hide the real meaning. These may happen since there are some interests behind the Indonesian polity register, among others are to maintain and to retain power. In sum, the register is used to keep the authority goes on.

Published: August 2019

Pressupostos teológicos marcaram a Estética e a Teoria do Conhecimento nos séculos XVII e XVIII e continuam marcando o modo de entender a arte e a realidade em teorias do século XIX e XX. O retorno às origens da Estética moderna propicia a exposição das estruturas fundantes, sem o que vai se continuar só fazendo variações em torno do mesmo.

Farklı
kotlarda inşa edilen yapıların etkileşimde olduğu zeminlerde stabilitenin sağlanabilmesi
amacı ile yanal toprak basıncına karşı çeşitli istinat yapıları
kullanılmaktadır. Bunlara ek olarak karayolları bünyesindeki projelerde tercih
edilen donatılı zemin uygulamaları ise son zamanlarda ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu
çalışmada, Türkiye’nin altı bölgesinde inşa edilen 82 farklı çelik donatılı
zemin projesi incelenmiştir. Projelere ait verilere göre doğal zemin ve dolgu
zeminlere ait içsel parametreler ile duvar yüksekliği ve sürşarj yükü gibi dış
etkenlerin sınır değerleri belirlenmiştir. Söz konusu sınır değerler kapsamında
gerçekleştirilen teorik hesaplamalar doğrultusunda bir genelleme yapılarak donatı
boyu ile donatı kalınlığı gibi tasarım parametrelerinin değişimi incelenmiştir.
Elde edilen sonuçlara göre şerit donatı boyu 2,02 m ile 23,62 m arasında değişirken,
kalınlık değeri 0,65 mm ile 10,49 mm arasında değişmektedir. Donatı boyu
açısından ilk 5,00 m’lik duvar yüksekliği önem arz etmektedir. Diğer
değişkenler sabit tutulduğu takdirde yatay donatı aralığının şerit kalınlığı
üzerindeki etkisi hem sürşarj yükü hem de tasarım ömründen daha kritiktir.
