A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CLONIDINE VERSUS NALBUPHINE AS INTRATHECAL ADJUVANTS TO 0.5% HYPERBARIC BUPIVACAINE DURING LOWER ABDOMINAL SURGERIES – A RANDOMIZED DOUBLE BLIND INTERVENTIONAL STUDY.
Authors: Jain Trishala , . Jaipal
Published: March 2020

Background: Regional anesthesia techniques for gynecological procedures are on increasing trends due to their advantage of postoperative analgesia owing to intrathecal adjuvants. The present study was aimed to comparatively evaluate the clinical efficacy of clonidine with nalbuphine when co-administered intrathecally with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine for Lower abdominal surgeries in Gynecology.

Methods: With institutional ethics committee clearance No. 193MC/EC/2018, randomized, double blind study was conducted. After obtaining informed written consent total of 84 patients scheduled for lower abdominal surgeries were randomly allocated into two groups:

Group A (n=42) - Inj.  3.5 ml Bupivacaine 0.5% + 0.2 ml Clonidine(30µg) intrathecally. 

Group B (n=42) - Inj.3.5 ml Bupivacaine 0.5%+0.2 ml Nalbuphine(2mg) intrathecally.

The characteristics of sensory and motor block, hemodynamic data, side effects were recorded.

Results: The onset of sensory block was earlier in Group B than Group A (3.08±0.52 min vs 4.00±0.54 min, p<0.001 ). The onset of motor block was also earlier in Group B than Group A (7.78±0.80 min vs 8.80±0.95min, p<0.001). The time to first rescue analgesia in patients receiving intrathecal clonidine was significantly delayed than patients receiving intrathecal nalbuphine (284.95 ± 12.93 min vs 211.52 ± 15.92 min, p<0.001). Introperative hemodynamic changes were comparable and none of the patient suffered from respiratory depression except very little cases of shivering which are not significant.

Conclusions: Intrathecal clonidine as adjuvant to bupivacaine provided was clinically more effective than nalbuphine for prolonging the duration of analgesia for gynecological procedures.

Keywords: Bupivacaine, Clonidine, Lower abdominal surgeries in gynecology, Nalbuphine, Subarachnoid block.

Thyroid hormones impact every single significant organ/frameworks and sufficient levels are significant for ideal capacity. Thyroid brokenness is a typical condition that effects somewhere in the range of 3 and 21% of the populace with predominance being increasingly regular in ladies and in more established people. Hypothyroidism is characterized by the expansion in thyroid-animating hormone (TSH) values, joined by diminished coursing free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4). TSH is the most solid marker of sufficiency of substitution treatment, and an incentive inside the reference run (0.4–4.0 mIU/L) ought to be viewed as the helpful objective" have serum TSH esteems somewhere in the range of 0.4 and 2.5 mU/L. It is thusly contended that TSH esteems > 2.5 mU/L reflect hidden immune system thyroid ailment and add to the slanted TSH dissemination bend, a view additionally bolstered by the way that such people have a higher danger of movement to ensuing hypothyroidism. In this way, side effects of hypothyroidism are inadequate and vague in more established individuals. This prompts thyroid capacity tests being as often as possible mentioned. Then again, high thyroid capacity, as confirm by a low TSH level needs cautious observing and treatment considered if there is proof of end-organ harm, (for example, osteoporosis or AF), or if serum TSH is stifled.

Published: March 2020

Introduction: The prevalence of Bombay (Oh Phenotype) is not precisely known in Rajasthan state. Because of the fact that Bombay blood group is clinically significant, we decided to conduct a study at our centre to determine the prevalence of Bombay blood group among blood donor population in Western Rajasthan.

Methodology: This blood bank based prospective study was carried out amongst the blood donors over a period of 11 months, i.e., from February 2019 to December 2019. Total 30,000 donor samples were screened for ABO-RhD blood grouping and antibody screening. Auto control, indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) and Bombay blood group (Anti-H lectin) tests were run on all the O blood group samples showing agglutination with O reagent cells (in reverse grouping). Donors negative on Anti-H testing were tested for saliva A, B and H antigens and interpreted.

Results: Out of the total 30,000 donors, the maximum number of donors had blood group B+ (32.76%), followed by O+ (29.9%), A+ (20.41%), AB+ (8.06%), B- (3.11), O- (3.02%), A- (1.93%) and AB- (0.8%). Prevalence of Bombay blood group among study population was calculated to be 0.003%.

Conclusion: Bombay phenotype is a rare blood group but not uncommon. If serum grouping is not performed, it is misdiagnosed as blood group O. Therefore both forward and reverse blood grouping should be done on 100% samples.

Introduction: It is important to know the frequencies of the various antigens to predict the availability of blood units for alloimmunized patients. Because of the fact that there is always a chance of diversity in phenotype pattern of a donor population, we decided to conduct a study on antigen phenotyping of regular blood donors.

Methodology: This blood bank based cross-sectional analytical study was carried out amongst 500 voluntary blood donors over a period of 8 months, i.e., from April, 2019 to November, 2019. Samples from all these donors were subjected to extended phenotyping (C, c, E, e, K, M, N, S, Jka, Jkb, Fya, Fyb, Lea and Leb).

Results: In present study, we observed the percentage frequencies of C, c, E, e, K, M, N, S, P1, Lea, Leb, Jka, Jkb, Fya and Fyb antigens as 75.6%, 53.2%, 18.4%, 97.75%, 3.8%, 82.4%, 58.4%, 43.8%, 66.2%, 16.8%, 52.6%, 80.0%, 67.6%, 79.4% and 54.6% respectively. Conclusion: Outcomes of such studies can be used to formulate a rare blood group donor registry and compatible blood can be provided to the patients (especially those requiring multiple transfusions).

CLINICAL APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT OF FRACTURED INSTRUMENTS USING ULTRASONICS AND THE INSTRUMENT RETRIEVAL SYSTEM UNDER THE DENTAL OPERATING MICROSCOPE
Authors: Gupta Rohan , Sharma Tanya , Charles NSC , Bedi RPS
Published: March 2020

Background: Instrument separation has become a major concern in the endodontic practice today. In cases where the fractured fragment completely blocks the canal, the access of disinfecting irrigants to the root canal system is limited. Literature suggesting the guidelines on the management of broken instruments is scanty. This study was aimed to establish a preliminary guideline in the management of cases with instrument fracture using the Ultrasonic tips, the Instrument Retrieval System (IRS) and Instrument bypass under the Dental Operating Microscope (DOM).

Methods: 40 cases were selected with fractured instruments and categorized as follows-location coronal or apical to curvature- size of greater than or less than 5 mm. Patients were informed about the procedure and its complications, following which consent was taken. Management was planned in three stages. Instrument retrieval with the aid of Ultrasonics was performed under the DOM in stage 1. Retrieval using IRS was performed in stage 2. Instrument bypass was performed in stage 3. Success rate was compared using statistical analysis by the StatPac software.

Results and conclusion: Fractured fragments with a length of less than 5mm and straight line access was retrieved successfully under the DOM using the Ultrasonics in 87.5% cases. Retrieval of fragments greater than 5mm and with a straight line access was successful with the added use of the Instrument Retrieval system/ Instrument extractor in 71.4% cases.

Keywords: Ultrasonic, Instrument Retrieval System, Dental Operating Microscope, instrument bypass, fractured instrument

Key Message: Instrument fracture in an endodontic practice is a stressful event. With the widespread use of rotary instruments, the incidence of instrument separation has increased. With increasing referral of such cases, management of these cases with a predictable outcome has become important in endodontic specialty. An attempt has been made to lay down guidelines regarding management of cases with fractured instruments.

Gall bladder carcinoma is the most common type of tumor of the biliary tract and adenocarcinoma is the major histopathological subtype. Mucinous variant is a rare subtype and mucinous carcinoma accompanied with signet ring is extremely rare. When mucinous component exceeds 90% of the tumor, it is labeled as pure mucinous carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry helps to distinguish primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of gall bladder from pseudo myxoma peritonei from appendiceal neoplasm. Mucinous carcinoma is CK 7 positive and CK20 negative. We report a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma arising from the fundus of the gall bladder.

NONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASES AMONG RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN JAMAICA
Authors: Bourne Paul Andrew
Published: March 2020

Introduction: The World Health Organization indicated that 71 per cent of all deaths globally (41 million people) and 80 per cent of mortality in low-to-middle-income nations are accounted for by noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). However, there is sparse information on the prevalence of NCDs among religious leaders.

Objectives: To evaluate the nature of NCDs among religious SDA leaders in Central Jamaica, 2) determine the extent of NCDs among religious SDA leaders in Central Jamaica, 3) assess the healthcare-seeking behaviour and prevalence of ill-health experienced among religious SDA leaders who reported having a NCDs, and 4) determine the per cent of religious SDA leaders who reported having hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

Methods and materials: The current study employed a correlational cross-sectional design. The population for this research was leaders who serve in the Seventh-day Adventist churches in Central Jamaica (n=350). A standardized questionnaire was developed to collect data and evaluate the research objectives.

Findings: The most prevalent NCDs were hypertension (28.9 per cent), high cholesterol and arthritis (18.6 per cent, each), chronic respiratory (8.8 per cent), and diabetes (8.5 per cent). Seventy-two and two tenths per cent of those who reported having an NCD sought medical care compared to 84.5 per cent of those who did not report an NCD (χ2(df=1)=4.231, P = 0.042). Leaders with NCDs were less likely to report good health than those who did not report NCDs (χ2(df=1)=25.048, P < 0.0001, ɸ= -0.352).

Conclusion: NCDs among religious SDA leaders are showing worrying signs and these must be affecting their decision-making capabilities.

Authors: Hohenauer Erich , Stoop Rahel , Koller Agathe , Predig Joeri , Fenzl Matthias , Deflorin Carlina , Clijsen Ron
Published: March 2020

Patellafemoral joint diseases are commonly treated from physiotherapists. Patellar mobilisations can be performed either manually, but automated, passive continuous mobilisation devices are popular and frequently used in the clinical practice. The Patello device is a new developed product, but its effectiveness has not been verified yet. The purpose of this pilot-study was to investigate the effects of this passive continuous motion device (CPMD) on patellar cranial-caudal translation.

Nine healthy participants (mean age: 36.0±10.74 yrs, mean height: 172.7±8.1 cm, mean mass: 72.4±8.6 kg) volunteered for this study. The participants’ right knee was investigated and placed at a flexion angle of 45° inside the device. The Patella bone was fixed to the device with two pincers to ensure full contact. A total of 50 repetitions, with a constant mobilisation speed, was conducted and the degree of translation was assessed after 1, 10, 20, 30 and 50 repetitions.

The results of this pilot-study indicate, that the CPMD was effective to translate the patella within the trochlear groove after 1 (mean translation: 0.819cm, p<0.001), up to 50 repetitions (mean translation: 0.774 cm, p<0.001) compared to baseline. No significant differences (p>0.05) were observed between the repetitions.

In conclusion, the CPMD proved to be effective to mobilize the patellar bone in a healthy population. Further studies should investigate the possible effects of passive continuous mobilisations in a clinical setting.
Changes in Russia’s agrarian structure: What can we learn from agricultural census?
Authors: Yanbykh Renata , Saraikin Valeriy , Lerman Zvi
Published: March 2020

The classification of agricultural producers by legal-organizational form (agricultural enterprises, peasant (family farms), household plots and gardening associations), traditionally used by the Russian official statistics, is outdated and masks the dynamic changes that have taken place. Due to the lack of output and sales data in 2016 agricultural census, the paper uses some assumptions to calculate the so called “standard revenue” as a measure of the potential output in each census farm. The results highlight that there is only a small share of commercial production units in Russia and there is high heterogeneity of agricultural producers within each legal-organizational farm type. Contrary to a priori expectations, a large number of household plots became commercialized between the previous census in 2006 and the latest census in 2016 and they contribute 19% of the standard revenue of all commercial census units, more than the share of family farms. These results suggest that the old classification used for statistical purposes does not reflect adequately the dynamic changes stemming from the response to market signals.

Transmission of fertility pattern in mother-daughter relation – Bayesian view (a case study of Austria)
Authors: Osiewalska Beata
Published: March 2020

The connection between fertility of parents and their children has been investigated many times over the past century. It seems to be insignificant among pre-transitional populations, but becomes more important over time, especially in developed countries. Following Pearson’s example, it was widely adopted to use simple correlation analyses in such studies. In this study we will present how to use more advanced statistical models and methods to determine the occurrence and strength of examined relationships. Thus, we aim to investigate the intergenerational transmission of fertility in contemporary populations (in the case of the motherdaughter relation in Austria) using the zero-inflated Poisson regression model. Using this model in fertility analysis allows us to treat childlessness as a qualitatively different state with possibly different determinants than parenthood (regardless of the number of children). Bayesian inference in this study enables us to obtain covariates’ distributions as well as distributions of covariates’ nonlinear functions (including their uncertainty) and allows us to incorporate our prior knowledge.

The paper presents results of estimation of Cox proportional hazard model developed in order to identify the importance of employment for a first and a second childbirth for Polish women born in 1960 and after. The analysis is based on data from the first wave of the Generations and Gender Survey GGS-PL.

The results show: a) positive and statistically significant effect of employment on the risk of having a first and a second child, b) negative, although weak impact of the length of statutory maternity leave on the risk of having a second child. The results cast in doubt the effectiveness of the new reform that introduces the possibility of taking longer maternity leaves in order to boost fertility.
Terminology aspects in standardization in the area of library and information activities
Authors: Kozlova E. I. , Tsvetkova V. A.
Published: March 2020

The article focuses on the terminology standard development in the library and information environment. The establishing of terms proceeds under the influence of two trends: borrowing the concepts of regular language (usus) and standardization of terminology. The need to develop linguistic standards for the innovative areas has enhanced activity in the field of standardization and provided the revision and development of some new standards in the librarianship. The pecularity of standardization of the national terminology lies in the principles of standardization, which only allow the use of sustainable lexical units. The following selection criteria for terminological units are used when developing national standards: inambiguity, productivity, linguistic accurateness (originality and use of words of the native language), frequency of term use in the subject area and related fields of knowledge. The selection of lexical units and their interpretation should be focused on the actual characteristics of the subject area. A significant feature of modern standardization in the librarianship is the use of relational terminology from the information technology.

Free software enables its free use by anyone under observance of user proprietary rights. The authors review the market of free computerized library information systems. The origins for applying free ALIS are specified; free Evergreen и Koha ALIS are characterized and compared; the list of foreign free ALIS, date and state of development are specified. The methodology for ALIS market estimation is suggested; the role of ALIS developing and related communities is emphasized. The library and designer aspects of ALIS development are described. The new phenomenon of «donation culture» emerged due to implementing free software in libraries. The typical copyright conflict around Koha ALIS between proprietors and independent designers (the latter won with establishing community trust) is described. Using free ALIS follows the general trend of applying free software in public offices, with all advantages and disadvantages of this information infrastructure. As a result, free software is often opposed by the proprietary one, however both components make the competitive market offering users to make choice of ALIS of appropriate price/quality balance.

Authors: Wulandari Dewi Ayu Nur , Rahmawati Rahmawati
Published: March 2020

One effort to measure the level of quality in schools is by measuring the performance aspects of teachers as professional educators who teach at the school. The teacher performance aspect is measured as one of the promotion requirements for a higher position or as a recommendation condition in order to take part in teacher certification activities. In order for teacher performance appraisal to be carried out objectively, a method is needed to assist in the teacher performance appraisal process. AHP method can be used to assist in decision making. This is because the AHP method is a model for structured and comprehensive decision making.

To determine the best Judo athlete, Rajawali Judo Club of Battalion Arhanud 1 Divif 1 Kostrad has several obstacles such as making a decision in determining the best Judo athlete by the Coach and the Achievement Development which only based on experience which is estimated without the existence of any system. This results in subjectivity and the absence of a strong basis for competent objective decision making which then triggers gaps between athletes. The absence of specific criteria creates that result in not targeting the selection of the best Judo athletes. For this reason, a method, in this case, is needed to choose the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method and a number of criteria as indicators in determining the best Judo athlete. While the referenced criteria are Self-Dropping Technique (Ukemi), Slamming Technique (Nage-waza), Lockdown or Lying Technique (Katame-waza), Discipline and Achievement. The purpose of this study is expected to produce statistical data as an evaluation material for the training team to minimize or even eliminate the gap between fellow Judo athletes at the Rajawali Judo Club of Battalion Arhanud 1 Divif 1 Kostrad. The result of this study is based on Analytical Hierarchy Process calculations, obtained the most important priority criteria in determining the best Judo athlete in which the Achievement criteria with value  0.325 or equivalent to 32%, then followed by Disciplinary criteria with value 0.227 or equivalent to 23%, Slamming Technique criteria (Nage-waza) with value 0.211 or equivalent to 21%, Lockdown/Laying Technique criteria (Katame-waza) with value 0.125 or equivalent to 12% and in the last rank the Self-Dropping Technique criteria (Ukemi) with value 0.112 or equivalent to 11%.
Prey tell: what quillback rockfish early life history traits reveal about their survival in encounters with juvenile coho salmon

Predation is a major source of mortality in the early life stages of fishes and a driving force in shaping fish populations. Theoretical, modeling, and laboratory studies have generated hypotheses that larval fish size, age, growth rate, and development rate affect their susceptibility to predation. Empirical data on predator selection in the wild are challenging to obtain, and most selective mortality studies must repeatedly sample populations of survivors to indirectly examine survivorship. While valuable on a population scale, these approaches can obscure selection by particular predators. In May 2018, along the coast of Washington, USA, we simultaneously collected juvenile quillback rockfish Sebastes maliger from both the environment and the stomachs of juvenile coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch. We used otolith microstructure analysis to examine whether juvenile coho salmon were age-, size-, and/or growth-selective predators of juvenile quillback rockfish. Our results indicate that juvenile rockfish consumed by salmon were significantly smaller, slower growing at capture, and younger than surviving (unconsumed) juvenile rockfish, providing direct evidence that juvenile coho salmon are selective predators on juvenile quillback rockfish. These differences in early life history traits between consumed and surviving rockfish are related to timing of parturition and the environmental conditions larval rockfish experienced, suggesting that maternal effects may substantially influence survival at this stage. Our results demonstrate that variability in timing of parturition and sea surface temperature leads to tradeoffs in early life history traits between growth in the larval stage and survival when encountering predators in the pelagic juvenile stage.
Injured conspecifics as an alarm cue for the sea urchin Evechinus chloroticus

Predator mediation of sea urchin grazing pressure may occur via lethal removal of individual sea urchins or non-lethal modification of sea urchin behaviour. Several studies have shown that predation-related cues can affect sea urchin movement and grazing rates, but generalisations about the types of cues that prompt responses and the magnitude of those responses will require further research on a wider variety of species. We examined the effects of potential alarm cues on behaviour of the habitat-forming sea urchinEvechinus chloroticus(Echinometridae) on fished rocky reefs in northeastern New Zealand, where predators are uncommon and the sea urchins form barrens. ExposedE. chloroticus(i.e. those not in crevices) rapidly fled from injured conspecifics within a 1 m radius of the cue, but showed no apparent reaction to injured sea urchins belonging to another family (Centrostephanus rodgersii, Diadematidae), diced pilchards or the disturbance caused by fish attracted to the cues. Densities of exposed sea urchins in an area containing injured conspecifics did not return to control values for at least 20 h, while cryptic individuals remained crevice-bound when injured conspecifics were nearby. Injured conspecifics thus provide a strong, albeit localised, cue forE. chloroticus. By restricting sea urchins to crevices where they have a reduced impact on living kelp, this non-consumptive effect may complement the lethal effects of predation in marine reserves where populations of predators such as rock lobsters and large fish are allowed to recover from overharvesting by humans, thereby reinforcing the trophic cascade initiated by those predators.
NATIONAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL IDENTITY IN THE CASE-LAW OF CONSTITUTIONAL COURTS OF THE VISEGRAD GROUP
Authors: Miháliková Valéria
Published: March 2020

After the inclusion of the EUʹs obligation to respect national identities of its Member States into the primary law of the European Union, the notion of national identity has become an object of the interest of constitutional courts of EU Member States. They have, at the same time, started to use the notion of constitutional identity with regard to the European integration in their case-law. The object of this article is to analyse the case-law of the constitutional courts of the Visegrad group regarding the notions of national identity and constitutional identity and to analyse the means of using these concepts in their case-law, in particular with regard to the use of the concept of national identity within the meaning of the Article 4 (2) of the Treaty on European Union in the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
THE IDEA OF COMMON GOOD IN NEW NATURAL LAW THEORY
Authors: Osina Petr
Published: March 2020

The article deals with the concept of common good in New Natural Law theory in the conception of its main representative John Finnis. At the beginning it concentrates on the description of common good and its importance in the context of the meaning of human existence. This has clear parallels with the description of common good in current catholic social teaching and it draws significantly from the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas. The article continues with some critical views on Finnis’s description and alternative natural law theory of common good. The importance of the concept of common good in New Natural Law theory is analyzed at the end of the article.
