Published: April 2020

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the skin, nails, and joints. Its lifetime prevelance has been estimated to be at 1% to 3%. This study was designed to examine the association between serum pentraxin 3 (PTX3) and cardiovascular function in psoriatic children. Thirty-three children who were diagnosed with psoriasis, and 29 healthy children, between 4 and 18 years of age, were included in the study. Both patient and control group was evaluated by the pulsed wave tissue doppler imaging (TDI) echocardiography as well as with conventional Doppler echocardiography (CDE). PTX3 values of the groups were evaluated. There was no difference between cases and controls for age (9.67±3.72, 9.60±2.84 years, p=0.916, respectively). In evaluation of the left ventricle (LV) CDE; A wave, isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) and myocardial performance index (MPI) were significantly higher in the study group (p < 0.05). Ejection time (ET) was significantly lower in the study group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In evaluation of LV TDI; Deceleration time (DT`), IVRT`, E/E` and MPI` were found to be significantly higher in the study group (p < 0.05). In addition to, E`, E`/A` and ET` were siginificantly lower in study group. PTX3 level was significantly higher in the study group compared to the control group (p=0.009) (Table III). However, no correlation was found between PTX3 level and cardiovascular parameters. In conclusion; both doppler echocardiography and PTX3 may be useful tools for the screening of cardiovascular (CV) risk in these patients. Psoriasis itself may be an independent risk factor for cardiac dysfunction in the pediatric population.

Infections after liver transplantation (LT), despite prophylactic therapy, are still important causes of morbidity and mortality in children. Although underlying disease and immunosuppression along with the complexity of LT procedure are the major predispositions to infections, there still might be under recognised factors predisposing infections in paediatric LT. In this study, we retrospectively analysed the risk factors of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections after LT in a series of 167 children (median =5 yr.). Of all children, 112 (67%) experienced infections: 93 (55.7%) bacterial, 56 (33.5%) viral and 15 (9%) fungal. Multilogistic regression analysis showed that the need of immunosuppressive switch increased total, bacterial, and viral infection risk 5.3, 2.5, and 2.5 times, respectively, (p=0.001, p=0.021, and p=0,019, respectively). Re-LT increased bacterial infection risk 4.2 times (p=0.040). Viral infection risk was 10 times higher in children who had more than two re-laparotomies (p=0,002). Children who had post-LT, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection had 5.6 times increased risk for fungal infection (p=0.035). In conclusion, infection is still an important morbidity in paediatric LT and is in close relationship with other morbidities such as surgical complications. CMV infection, itself, is an independent risk factor for fungal infection.

The objective of this study was to analyze the hematologic parameters and their correlation with body composition components in healthy boys at pubertal age. One hundred and ninety physically active male subjects, aged 10 to 17 years, mean age 13.87 ±4.5 years, were included in the study. Capillary blood was drawn from all subjects and the following hematologic parameters were measured: RBC, Hct, Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC. The following body components derived from Matiegka anthropometric method were assessed: muscle mass (MM), bone mass (BM), and body fat mass (BF). The mean values (±SD) of hematologic parameters were: RBC= 4.87±0.41 x 10 < sup > 12 < /sup > /L, Hb=14.24±1.24 g/dL, Hct=43.83±3.8%. Anthropometric characteristics were as follows: body mass index (BMI) = 20.26± 3.27 kg/m < sup > 2 < /sup > , relative muscle mass (MM%) = 53.18± 3.19%, bone mass (BM%) = 18.83± 2.4% and body fat percentage (BF%) = 15.19± 2.64%. Correlation analysis between hematologic parameters and body composition showed a moderate to strong correlation between RBC, Hb and Hct and all body components. The strongest correlations were found between Hb and Hct, and muscle mass (r= 0.60; r= 0.61) and lean body mass (r= 0.59). The body fat mass showed also a positive association with RBC (r=0.47); Hb (r=0.47) and Hct (r=0.48). Our findings showed that the relationship between anthropometric measures and RBC variables in healthy physically active boys were positively correlated, but the level of association was higher with skeletal muscle mass.

Authors: Özgün Nezir , Özer Leyla , Yaramış Ahmet
Published: April 2020

In this report, detailed clinical features of a female patient and a new mutation that was not previously identified in the WD repeat-containing protein 45 (WDR45) gene are presented in order to contribute to the information in the literature on the phenotype as well as genotype of Beta-Propeller Protein Associated Neurodegeneration. Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) analysis was done since etiology could not be determined. Our case was admitted to the hospital due to epilepsy, growth retardation and autism. Her family history was unremarkable except consanguineous marriage. She had tonic seizures twice at the age of 7 and 12 months and had continual seizures after 16 months. At the time, electroencephalography and brain MRI were performed twice were determined to be normal. Brain MRI Spectroscopy was also found to be normal at 35 months of age. Metabolic screening tests (acyl carnitine profile, urine organic acids, plasma amino acids, a very long chain fatty acid profile, etc.) were also normal. Genetic screening of the epilepsy panel for epileptic encephalopathies was negative. WES analysis revealed heterozygous previously unreported variant in intron 6 of the WDR45 gene, c.344+5G > A. In conclusion; Beta-Propeller Protein Associated Neurodegeneration should be considered as an option in the diagnosis of female patients with clinical findings of epilepsy, growth retardation and autism, with unspecified etiology.

Published: April 2020

Rotavirus is a leading cause of gastroenteritis in children under 5 years of age. It is known that neurological manifestations like seizures, encephalopathy and encephalitis can rarely be seen due to rotavirus infections. Cerebellar involvement is extremely rare. We present an uncommon neurological manifestation of rotavirus infection in a 4-year-old Turkish child who presented with hypotonia, reduced consciousness and mutism. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffusion abnormalities in the splenium of corpus callosum and nucleus dentatus bilaterally. She was diagnosed with rotavirus cerebellitis. She improved well with dexamethasone and intravenous immunoglobulin but still has dysarthria and poor fine motor coordination.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DA ALIMENTAÇÃO SAUDÁVEL PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO HUMANO
Authors: Manhães Alves Gabriela , De Oliveira Cunha Teresa Claudina
Published: April 2020

Neste trabalho procurou-se analisar os benefícios da alimentação saudável no desenvolvimento humano, para que assim, seja possível alcançar um ensino-aprendizagem/desenvolvimento com mais qualidade. Trata-se de um estudo de natureza aplicada, com uma abordagem com enfoque qualitativo. No decorrer da pesquisa, entrevistou-se uma nutricionista, uma professora de educação infantil e uma neuropsicopedagoga, com a finalidade de compreender por meio da teoria e práticas utilizadas em suas respectivas áreas, a importância da alimentação saudável como parte fundamental para o desenvolvimento humano. A pesquisa possibilitou analisar a relação entre a alimentação e o desenvolvimento humano enquanto parceiros, em que a família e a escola são peças chaves na construção desse processo. Além disso, pode-se perceber que o papel/atuação do profissional da educação faz toda diferença neste processo, pois demanda um conhecimento sobre alimentação saudável, para que seja possível aplica-lo em suas práticas diárias no ambiente escolar, e assim, aos poucos ir construindo junto aos pais e alunos a concepção de que é preciso alimentar (cuidar) o corpo e também a mente.
Preoperative radiographic and clinical factors associated with the visualization of intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid during endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenomas
Authors: Rotman Lauren E. , Alford Elizabeth N. , Davis Matthew C. , Vaughan T. Brooks , Woodworth Bradford A. , Riley Kristen O.
Published: April 2020

Background:

Intraoperative visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during endoscopic endonasal resection of skull base tumors is the most common factor contributing to the development of postoperative CSF leaks. No previous studies have solely evaluated preoperative factors contributing to intraoperative CSF visualization. The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative factors predictive of intraoperative CSF visualization.

Methods:

Retrospective review of patients who underwent transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenomas was conducted. Clinical and radiographic variables were compared for those who had CSF visualized to those who did not. Nominal logistic regression models were built to determine predictive variables.

Results:

Two hundred and sixty patients were included in the study. All significant demographic and radiographic variables on univariate analysis were included in multivariate analysis. Two multivariate models were built, as tumor height and supraclinoid extension were collinear. The first model, which considered tumor height, found that extension into the third ventricle carried a 4.60-fold greater risk of CSF visualization (P = 0.005). Increasing tumor height showed a stepwise, linear increase in risk; tumors >3 cm carried a 19.02-fold greater risk of CSF visualization (P = 0.003). The second model, which considered supraclinoid tumor extension, demonstrated that extension into the third ventricle carried a 4.38-fold increase in risk for CSF visualization (P = 0.010). Supraclinoid extension showed a stepwise, linear increase in intraoperative CSF risk; tumors with >2 cm of extension carried a 9.26-fold increase in risk (P = 0.017).

Conclusion:

Our findings demonstrate that tumor height, extension into the third ventricle, and extension above the clinoids are predictive of intraoperative CSF visualization.
Does neurofibromatosis 1 status impact outcomes for pediatric/young adults undergoing spinal fusion?
Authors: Freedman Isaac , Koo Andrew , Yeagle Erin , Diluna Michael , Kolb Luis , Yeung Jacky
Published: April 2020

Background:

Although spinal deformities are common in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), there is a paucity of data as to how this impacts outcomes of spinal fusion surgery in pediatric/young adult patients.

Methods:

Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2005–2014) for all patients undergoing spinal fusion ≤26 years of age, we compared the following factors: demographics, comorbidities, and perioperative variables (e.g., between NF1 vs. non-NF1, and between NF1 and propensity score (PS)-matched non- NF1 spinal fusion patients) using univariate hypothesis tests and multivariate regression analyses. Our main interest focused on length of stay, complication rates, adverse postoperative events, and incidence of nonroutine discharges.

Results:

In this study, 238 (0.92%) NF1 spine patients were compared to 25,558 (99.08%) non-NF1 spine patients. NF1 fusion patients were younger, included fewer females, and were more likely to be on Medicaid. Perioperatively, NF1 patients underwent more anterior approaches, had more vertebrae fused, required more transfusions, had a longer length of stay (LOS), and were less likely to be discharged home. However, after PS- matching, all differences between NF1 and non-NF1 groups disappeared were similar (P > 0.05). In PS-matched multivariate analyses, NF1-status was not a significant independent predictor of length of stay or nonroutine discharge disposition.

Conclusion:

NF1-status was, therefore, not an independent predictor of complications, adverse postoperative events, longer LOS, or nonroutine hospital discharge in this cohort analysis. Further prospective studies are necessary to understand how outcomes in patients with NF1 compare to non-NF1 pediatric and young adult patients.
Acromegaly in preadolescence: A case report of a 9-year-old boy with acromegaly
Authors: Mbadugha Tobechi , Ogiwara Toshihiro , Nagm Alhusain , Hasegawa Takatoshi , Kamiya Keisuke , Matsumoto Yuki , Kobayashi Mikiko , Hongo Kazuhiro
Published: April 2020

Background:

Acromegaly has been reported in adolescents and young adults, but it is unusual in preadolescence. Diagnosis and management pose different challenges in this age group. Here, we present a rare case of acromegaly in preadolescence.

Case Description:

A 9-year-old boy presented with acromegalic features and MRI revealed a pituitary tumor. He was diagnosed as having growth hormone secreting pituitary adenoma based on the multidisciplinary assessment, and underwent gross total tumor resection through an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) with subsequent normalization of the hormonal parameters.

Conclusions:

Advances in EEA have made safe removal and cure possible even in children. However, long- term follow-up is needed in such younger patients with multidisciplinary management by neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, pediatricians, and ENT surgeons.
Mycobacterium abscessus mimicking tubercular spondylodiscitis following ozone therapy: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Shahi Prem Bahadur , Panigrahi Vishnuprasad , Adsul Nitin , Kumar Manoj , Acharya Shankar , Kalra K. L. , Chahal R. S.
Published: April 2020

Background:

The incidence of Mycobacterium abscessus (MA), a rapidly growing species of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)-related infections, has been steadily rising over the past decade. Despite the increased prevalence of NTM-related infections, it is largely underreported from TB-endemic countries due to lack of awareness and limited laboratory facilities. Here, we report a rare case of L4–L5 spondylodiscitis caused by MA following ozone therapy (a noncondoned method of lumbar disc management).

Case Description:

A healthy, nonimmunocompromised 43-year-old female presented with bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy. She underwent a fluoroscopically guided percutaneous ozone treatment for degenerated disc disease at the L4–L5 level. She was symptom free for 3 months duration. She then presented with severe low back pain, bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy, and spondylodiscitis at the L4–L5 level. This was treated with a L4–L5 transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. MA was cultured from the epidural purulent material collected during the surgery. The patient was discharged on oral clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily and intravenous amikacin 500 mg twice daily for 6 weeks. The plan was to then continue oral clarithromycin for another 6 weeks till resolution of primary infection.

Conclusion:

Early diagnosis and appropriate therapy is required to treat NTM which is more prevalent in epidemic/endemic regions.

La comunidad de Pascuales cuenta con una población de 70.887. El estado civil que predomina es el casado, seguido de la unión libre, con un número promedio de hijos de 4, y las familias antiguas con 8 o más hijos. (ASIS, 2019). Conocer la sinergia de las relaciones familiares, interpersonales, laborales y los sentimientos de valía de los habitantes genera una base para la toma de decisiones en atención primaria de salud con enfoque psicosocial.

 Para esta investigación se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo descriptivo de manera transversal, el grupo etario escogido en un rango entre 15 a 74 años de edad dando un total de 48.434 personas. La muestra se definió mediante fórmula de cálculo de población finita de 273 personas encuestadas. El instrumento de recolección de datos se aplicó en diversas cooperativas, este instrumento está conformado por preguntas de la entrevista planteada por patrones funcionales de  Marjorie Gordon, otra mediante preguntas consideradas por el Test FANTÁSTICO.

Los datos más relevantes obtenidos son  el 31%  a veces y el 28% casi nunca tienen con quien hablar y  el 29% a veces y el 15% casi nunca da y recibe cariño.

Como conclusión se llegó a qué conociendo la realidad laboral del Ecuador y de América Latina, concuerda que el  27% casi nunca se sienten contento con su trabajo o actividades que realiza. Hay que gestionar actividades con ONGs que fomenten a la población en emprendimientos afines con sus habilidades y destrezas.
“No sos vos, es Tinder”. Gamificación, consumo, gestión cotidiana y performance en aplicaciones de “levante”
Authors: Walter-Linne Joaquin
Published: April 2020

Este artículo aborda los usos que jóvenes de sectores medios de Buenos Aires despliegan en aplicaciones de citas, “levante” o ligue. A nivel metodológico, se realizó una investigación exploratoria, que consistió en el análisis temático de mil perfiles y 20 entrevistas estructuradas a jóvenes usuarios de Tinder, Happn y OkCupid. Entre los resultados, se destacan tres tendencias emergentes. En primer lugar, la “gamificación”, que alude a la experiencia lúdica y competitiva, similar a la del videojuego, la cual implica la búsqueda sexoafectiva online en el sentido de desentrañar estrategias y desplegar habilidades para obtener mayor puntaje (“me gusta”, matches). En segundo lugar, el “consumo de superficie”, que refiere a un modo de relacionarse con los perfiles como objetos de consumo, lo cual implica no solo el voyeurismo sino una constante selección de candidatos. Por último, la “gestión cotidiana de redes y aplicaciones”, que implica una performance exigente sobre la identidad propia en pos de sobresalir en el ecosistema digital.
A hypersingular integro-differential equation of the Euler type
Authors: Shilin A. P.
Published: April 2020

In this paper, we study an integro-differential equation on a closed curve located on the complex plane. The integrals included in the equation are understood as a finite part by Hadamard. The coefficients of the equation have a particular structure. The analytical continuation method is applied. The equation is reduced to a boundary value linear conjugation problem for analytic functions and linear Euler differential equations in the domains of the complex plane. Solutions of the Euler equations, which are unambiguous analytical functions, are sought. The conditions of solvability of the initial equation are given explicitly. The solution of the initial equation obtained under these conditions is also given explicitly. Examples are considered.

The main advantages and disadvantages of the existing intellectual document emission systems in the Belarusian education system are assessed, including: centralized (the “Student Card” project) and decentralized (the electronic student card) ones. The proposal to use the DLT-model for issuing multi-purpose electronic student cards combined with bank payment cards has been grounded. Such model makes it possible to implement new functional capabilities when providing electronic services and has a number of advantages over the existing systems of electronic student documents issuance. The article describes how Public Blockchain and Private Blockchain can be used to issue and control intellectual documents, to accelerate the development of the electronic services provided through Smart Contract, and how the Smart Contract technology can be used to promote fair competition among electronic services providers. The methodology of evaluating the electronic services provider rating basing on the weighting factor of “usefulness” or “being in demand” is proposed. The article provides information on the expected effects of the proposed DLT-model implementation, obtained through the comprehensive use of identification technologies and distributed ledger technology.

The research aims to promote AMF compatibility on corn and sorghum host plants in the dry land of central Lombok. The study was conducted using a complete random design factorial, with 2 factors, factor 1. Isolate type with 4 levels i.e. I0 = without isolates, I1 = Ash isolates, I2 = isolate black and I3 = isolate mixture of ash and black. Factor 2 is the type of host with 2 levels is M1 = host corn and M2 = host sorghum. The results showed that there was a noticeable influence on the host type factor on the high measurement parameters of plants, the number of leaves and the broad index of leaves. There is an increase in soil nutrient levels, especially nutrient levels C and P. Spores density increased significantly from 50 spores inoculated into thousands of spores at the end of research with an effective and superior spore namely the Genus Gigaspora.

The formation equilibria of the dimethyltin(IV) complexes with of N,N,N’,N’-tetraethylethylenediamine (Et4en) in solution were investigated. The stoichiometry and stability constants of the complexes formed in solution phase were determined at different temperatures (15 oC – 35 oC) and in solutions of dioxane-water mixtures of different compositions (15% - 62.5%). The accepted model is composed of the 110, 111, 11-1 and 11-2 species. The thermodynamic parameters H and S associated with the protonation of N,N,N`,N`-tetraethylethylendiamine (Et4en) and its complex formation with the dimethyltin(IV) species were determined. The complex formation reaction is exothermic. The equilibrium constant for the displacement of N,N,N’,N’-tetraethylethylenediamine coordinated to dimethyltin(IV) by some selected DNA constituents was calculated. The Keq values clearly indicate the ability of DNA to displace the coordinated Et4en from its dimethyltin(IV) complex. The nucleotides IMP and GMP have the highest values. The DFT/B3LYP method was used for geometric optimization of the ligand and the complex using the Gaussian 09 program. Also the vibrational frequencies of the ligands and complexes were computed for the optimized geometries. The results shows that there is no imaginary frequencies as found in the calculated vibrational frequencies. The binding energies of the dimethyltin(IV) complexes were calculated. All calculated binding energy values are negative.

A lead-based multiferroic, Pb(Co1/3Mn1/3W1/3)O3, was synthesized by using a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. Based on X-ray structural analysis, an orthorhombic crystal structure has been suggested for the material. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image exhibits a morphology with and uniform grains distribution. A detailed study of variation of dielectric parameters with frequency and temperature exhibits that Pb(Co1/3Mn1/3W1/3)O3 undergoes multiple phase transitions; first transition (Tc1) appeared at 436K (ferroelastic to ferroelectric) whereas second transition ( Tc2) appeared at 504K ( ferroelectric to paraelectric). Since the peaks of dielectric constant are broader and diffused, a diffusivity parameter (γ) has been estimated to the amount of disordering in the material structure.The contribution of grain,grain boundaries and electrode effect in electrical conduction mechanisim can be understood by frequency-temperature dependence of resistive characterestics using CIS spectroscopy (complex impedance spectroscopy). Impedance or Nyquist plots were modeled with an equivalent circuit having capacitance, resistance and related parameters. Studies of transport properties, ac conductivity, electrical modulus and magneto-electric (ME) effect of the materialis reported in this communication.
