Authors: PATIL Rupali , DESAI Avinash
Published: November 2021

In the present contribution, the authors investigate the peculiarity of Phase Changing Material for accumulating heat in the region equivalent to the hilly area by creating its atmosphere, having 20˚C DBT and 18˚C WBT. A water cooler is used in 5*7 feet bathroom to conceive the above-intimated temperature, measured by a sling psychrometer. In particular, in this study, trials are carried out in the LHTES tank where water is charged from ambient temperature to 55˚C with the aid of an Immersion water heater rod of 1000W,230V thereby liquifying PCM and then discharging to ambient temperature. Two Orientations namely, Circular and Cross are appropriated into the study, where Circular Orientation poses better results articulating the charging in an hour and discharging in 25 long hours, whereas Crossed Orientation represents charging in an hour and discharging in 23 hours. The volume of PCM and the net heat transfer surface have been kept constant in both cases, to compare them in the same operative conditions. The reason for the detour is manifested.

Authors: ARORA Ranjana
Published: November 2021

With the growing demand of energy along with scarcity of natural resources and drastic fluctuations of the climate change implications, there has been a constant effort of mankind to switch towards renewable energy sources. Among various renewable energy systems, solar photovoltaics (SPV) has emerged out as an evident choice for the range of applications from commercial to residential end users. The performance of the SPV power system needs to be monitored, so that the plant can be operated efficiently and maximum electrical output can be generated out of it. For performance assessment, capacity utilisation factor (CUF) has been considered the parameter for monitoring of the SPV power plant. CUF is monitored for the industrial roof top SPV power plant and compared with the other CUF data available in the literature. In the present work, an effort has been made to monitor the CUF parameters, performance ratio (PR) and energy generation units for a 227kWp SPV industrial rooftop power plant. It has been found that due to certain losses, the CUF is found to be lower than the ability of the system. The various technical causes of low CUF along with their remedial actions are proposed in view of improving CUF and overall efficiency of the system.

Published: November 2021

In the Northern region, the cultivation of cowpea is mainly carried out by small producers, who have little financial and technological resources to optimize and increase production. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the growth of cowpea subjected to mineral fertilization and doses of biofertilizer produced in domestic compost. The experiment was carried out in a protected environment, covered with a 50% shade screen, at the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA), Santarém PA, in 2017. Seeds were arranged in 5 L pots, containing 3.5 Kg of Yellow Latosol. For sowing, 3 seeds per pot were used and thinning occurred 7 days after seedling emergence, leaving only the most vigorous. The experimental design used was randomized blocks, with subdivided plots, where the plots were the doses of biofertilizer (50, 100, 150 and 200 mL plant-1 + mineral fertilizer) and the subplots, the time periods: T1 (0 to 20 days), T2 (24 to 33 days), T3 (37 to 47 days) and T4 (51 to 61 days), containing five repetitions. Plant height, stem diameter, absolute stem growth rate and absolute growth rate in stem thickness were evaluated. The greatest growth of cowpea was obtained in treatments with mineral fertilization. The dose of 200 mL plant-1 of the biofertilizer showed results close to mineral fertilization, in different vegetative stages. Cowpea plants, starting at 45 DAE, tend to stabilize their growth in diameter.

The use of fungi of the genus Trichoderma spp. for the control of plant diseases it has proved to be an important and promising tool, mainly for the tomato crop production system, however, there are difficulties in establishing the bioagent. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of substrate incubation time after inoculation with Trichoderma harzianum to control the damping-off of tomato seedlings. The experimental design was completely randomized, consisting of six treatments and four replications. The treatments are two incubation times in two doses of T. harzianum (0 and 10 days of substrate incubation [DIST] after inoculation with T. harzianum in 1.0 or 5.0 g of T. harzianum) and two controls (control inoculated and not inoculated with Rhizoctonia solani). The variables analyzed were incidence of damping-off, area under the disease progress curve, percentage of emergence, emergency speed index, average emergency time, germination speed coefficient, total fresh mass, root length (cm) and height of the area part (cm). The treatments containing Trichoderma harzianum have proven to be promising for the control of R. solani and for the growth of tomato seedlings.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of CaCO3 in liquid formulation on the incidence of sunburn and the visual quality of apples, as well as to test application times and dosages of biostimulants in increasing the red Color of the fruits. The study was carried out in partnership with the rural producer, in the orchards located in the municipality of Fraiburgo-SC, in the 2018/2019 harvest. To meet the proposed objectives, two different experiments were conducted: experiment 1 - application of calcium carbonate to reduce the incidence of sunburn in apples and experiment 2 - use of biostimulant to increase the red Color in the epidermis of apples. The variables analyzed were: production data (kg plant-1, fruits plant-1, average fruit mass and aspects related to fruit quality: pulp firmness, soluble solids content, mineral content in fruits, percentage of red Color in the epidermis of the fruits and incidence of sunburn. The tests carried out to promote the red Color of the fruits showed satisfactory results. However, the tests developed aiming at reducing the incidence of sunburn did not show reliable results, since the environmental conditions, mainly the sunstroke, were not favorable to the development of the damage to the fruits, making it impossible to obtain conclusive information on the efficiency of the CaCO3 product. in reducing the incidence of sunburn in apples. The application of CaCO3 as a sunscreen does not improve the calcium content of the harvested fruits. The application of Physiogrow® Color promotes better allocation of the harvested fruits in categories of greater coloration of the epidermis.

Published: November 2021

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is a perishable fruit with a short post-harvest life and a high incidence of fungal diseases, especially Botrytis cinerea. For control and prevention, synthetic products are often used which negatively influence in the food and environmental security. The present work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the inhibitory potential of essential oils in the growth and control of the B. cinerea in vitro and in vivo. The essential oils of thyme (Thymus vulgares L.), cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia L.), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus L.), peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) and tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia Maiden & Betche) were tested, in addition to control made of autoclaved water, using a completely randomized design with 4 replications. The fungus growth was evaluated in vitro through grading. Strawberry fruits were evaluated for the presence of B. cinerea, firmness and total soluble solids content. The growth of the B. cinerea in vitro, the percentage of gray mold infection, the total soluble solids content and the texture of strawberry were evaluated. The in vitro growth of the fungus received lower scores with the essential oils of thyme and cinnamon, with values of 0.32 and 0.92, respectively, with greater suppression. The percentage of strawberry with symptoms were lower than the treatments with tea tree (8,33%), thyme (25%), lemongrass (25%) and peppermint (26,66%). The essential oils of thyme and cinnamon have potential for use in the control of the Botrytis cinerea in in vitro test and the essential oils of peppermint, thyme, tea tree and lemongrass have potential for use in the suppression in strawberry fruits.
Response of jiggs grass to inoculation with plant growth-promoting microrganisms
Authors: Cruz Sonia Purin da , Basso Kelen Cristina
Published: November 2021

Brazil is the second world producer of bovine meat, which often relies on preserved forage to decrease seasonality of forage production. Increased forage accumulation may be favored by technologies such as inoculation. Research works on this theme have been conducted with Azospirillum brasilense associated to oats, ryegrass and guinea grass. However, response of jiggs, a widely cultivated perennial grass, to plant growth-promoting microrganisms is poorly understood. Hence this study aimed to assess effects of inoculation on development of Cynodon dactylon cv. Jiggs. Four treatments were tested: T1) control, T2) Inoculation with A. brasilense, T3) Inoculation with Azospirillum, Rhizobium, Pseudomonas and Saccharomyces, T4) Inoculation + Reinoculation with Azospirillum, Rhizobium, Pseudomonas and Saccharomyces. Forage mass, percentage of leaves, stems, dead mass, reproductive structures and leaf/stem ratio were measured. Data were submitted to analysis of variance, and when significant effects were detected, means were separated by LSD Test. Positive effects of inoculation were recorded at all evaluations, mostly concerning percentage of leaves and leaf/stem ratio. A. brasilense improved leaf/stem ratio up to 56%. Also, a 64% increment on this parameter was obtained with Azospirillum, Rhizobium, Pseudomonas and Saccharomyces. Modifications of plant morphology components are important since grasses with more percentage of leaves increase nutritional value of haylage. Morphology of Cynodon dactylon cv. Jiggs is affected by Azospirillum, Rhizobium, Saccharomyces and Pseudomonas, improving aspects related to palatability and preferred grazing of livestock animals.

Published: November 2021

Soybean plants are constantly exposed to abiotic stresses that compromise production, among these, in areas of Brazilian Cerrado, mainly in the northeast region, periods of drought can occur due to irregular and summer rainfall. Thus, the objective of this work was to determine the physiological response of Monsoy 9350 soybean at different stages of development, when subjected to water stress. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in the experimental area of the campus of the Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI) in Bom Jesus-PI, assembled in a 3x3 factorial scheme, with water in the soil at three levels (50% VTP; 75% VTP and 100% VTP) and three phenological phases, budding to bloom (BF); bloom to complete grain filling (FE) and budding to complete grain filling (BE), the experiment consisted of 9 treatments, in a randomized block design, containing 4 replications. The evaluation of the experiment was standardized according to the phenological stages and not according to the time. The following variables were evaluated: plant height, internode length, internode thickness, number of branches, chlorophyll index, number of flowers, insertion of the first pod and number of pods. According to the evaluated results, the water stress in soybean for cultivating Monsoy 9350 mainly affects the period from budding to bloom, interfering negatively in height, chlorophyll and number of pods.

One technique that has been drawing the attention of producers is the induced fermentation of the fruits. In the induced fermentation process, the fermentation speed is increased, but environmental interferences with different microbiota can alter the fermentation process, making it difficult to repeat the results. The objective was to induce anaerobic fermentations in coffee fruits, through different processes, aiming at modifying the sensory profile of the beverage. The experiment was conducted in 2019, with ‘Mundo Novo IAC-379/19’ coffee fruits, which came from full harvest, with 70% of fruits in the parchment stage. On the day of harvest, the coffee was separated into 78 experimental plots, each containing 10 L. The treatments used were: addition extract of Citrus reticulata, Carica papaya, Ananas comosus, Eucalyptus spp. leaf and addition of sugar, at  concentration of 10% in aqueous solution (stored in 12 L buckets) and treatment with water only. 24 and 48h fermentation periods were tested, besides two processing methods, natural and with peeled fruits. In addition, the fruits were tested without induced fermentation for natural and peeled coffee. It is concluded that the treatment with fermentation induced for 24 h without the addition of extracts in wet processing yielded coffees of better sensory quality, with a final score of 85.33. The wet processing of coffee fruits without the addition of extracts, immersed in water for 24 h, yielded better sensory quality. The addition of Ananas comosus extracts implies a reduction in the sensory quality of coffee in the induced fermentation process.

The use of leaf extracts to reduce pesticide applications that harm the environment and cause environmental disorder can be an alternative to the control of fungi during propagation of eucalyptus. The experiment tested the effect of leaf extracts from two species of espinheira-santa on Cylindrocladium clavatum. The extraction of plant material was carried out through percolation at 28 °C for 7 days using column liquid chromatography with hexane, chloroform, and methanol as solvents. Evaluations of antifungal activity were performed with a fixed extract concentration of 2,000 mg L-1. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the extracts, sporulation, and control of C. clavatum in eucalyptus leaves were evaluated using concentrations of 500, 250, 125, and 100 mg L-1 after 5 and 15 days of incubation. The concentration of 500 mg L-1 of chloroform extract from leaves of M.ilicifolia and M.aquifolium resulted in a better control of Cylindrocladium clavatum. In the evaluation of sporulation, the crude and methanolic extracts obtained the best performances, with emphasis on the concentrations of 500 and 250 mg L-1, which resulted in the lowest number of spores. For the evaluation of the minimum inhibitory concentration, it was observed that the fungus is not 100% controlled, but that the greatest effect lies on the reduction of fungus growth. In the image tests with eucalyptus leaves, the crude extract resulted in the smallest lesion area at concentrations of 500 and 250 mg L-1. The extract was more effective when applied in its raw form and with greater concentration.

The present work was aimed in order to evaluate the decomposition process of remaining straw from oat cultivars submitted to different handling during the cultivation of corn for silage intercropped with Urochloa brizantha cv. MG13 Braúna. We considered nine oat cultivars named as follows: "IAPAR 61 IBIPORÃ" oat hay (61F), "IAPAR 61 IBIPORÃ" pasture (61P), "IAPAR 61 IBIPORÃ" cover crop (61SM), "Embrapa 139 (Fog)" oat hay (139F),"Embrapa 139 (Fog)" pasture (139P)," Embrapa 139 (Fog)" cover crop (139SM), "Emerald IPR 126" oat hay (EF), "Emerald IPR 126" grazed (EP) and "Emerald IPR 126" cover crop (ESM) from which we evaluated the decomposition of the remaining straw using the method of litter bags. The evaluations were carried out at 0, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 108 days after sowing corn for silage intercropped with Brizantha brachiaria cv. MG13 Braúna (Urochloa brizantha). Every oat cultivar had three repetitions arranged in a split-plot design. We took into account the quantity of straw, organic matter, carbon, nitrogen, carbon / nitrogen ratio, phosphorus and potassium. The results we got clarify that oat decomposition rate varied with the meteorological factors and initial mass, so that the greater the initial mass is, the longer the straw permanency and mulch effectiveness on the soil. The time the residual oat straw took to be decomposed depended on meteorological factors both during the cover crop developmental stage and the decomposition period itself. The higher the initial mass, the greater the time and effectiveness of mulching.

Published: November 2021

Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil. is a native species in Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Propagation is carried out by seeds that have a low germination rate and morphophysiological dormancy. In order to increase the germination percentage, stratification treatments and emergence monitoring were tested. For this, yerba mate seeds were subjected to stratification treatments: Treatment 1 - seeds between two sand layers; Treatment 2 - seeds between two sand layers and commercial substrate covered with corn straw; Treatment 3 - seeds between two sand layers with the addition of 4.0 g "L" ^"-1"  of slow-release fertilizer (16-8-12 - 6 months); Treatment 4 - seeds between two sand layers covered with corn straw; and a control treatment - seeds without stratification. The stratification period for all treatments was 180 days, and at 120, 150, and 180 days, 100 seeds were removed per repetition from each treatment for emergence tests, with weekly observation for 180-days in a completely randomized design. After that period, the tetrazolium test was performed with the seeds that did not emerge. At 120-days of stratification there was no emergence and at 150-days it was 0.83%. At 180-days, treatment 3 showed the highest percentage - 13.19%. Seeds without stratification do not germinate and after 180-days of emergence the amount of non-viable seeds increased in all treatments. Stratification in sand with slow-release fertilizer favors the emergence of yerba mate seedlings.

Background: A drug therapy problem (DTP) is any undesirable event experienced by a patient that involves or is suspected to involve, drug therapy, and that interferes with achieving the desired goals of therapy. The improper use of drugs can lead to patient morbidity and even mortality. DTP s are the clinical territory of the pharmaceutical care practitioner and the resolution of identifying the DTPs help patients to achieve their goals of therapy. Identifying DTPs enables risk quantification and determination of the potential impact of prevention strategies.  DTPs are associated with prolonged length of stay and increased economic burden and results in increased risk of death.Methods: A hospital based, prospective observational study was conducted at department of medicine in Rajah Muthiah medical college and hospital, 80 patients were enrolled in this study based on the inclusion-exclusion criteria. The DTPs were identified using the Cipolle’s method of classification of DTP.Results: The study has shown that 80 of the patients involved in the study had a total of 136 DTPs. An average of 1.7 DTPs were recorded per patient during the study. The most common DTP identified was unnecessary drug therapy accounting to 47%. The absence of valid medical indication was (30%) and (16%) were due to the duplication of therapy. The second most common DTP was unsafe drug for patients, accounting to 45% were due to patient non-compliance and drug interaction which was minor. Need for additional drug therapy was the third most identified accounting 13% were due to medical indication indicate the need of drug therapy.Conclusions: The foremost commonly observed DTP is unnecessary therapy and patient non-compliance to the drugs. The study suggests that DTPs are significantly occurring in hospital can cause the patient for comorbidity, prolonged hospitalization. The study suggests that clinical pharmacist and general practitioners can work together to spot and resolve the DTPs.
Use of levocetrizine in the management of type IV hypersensitivity to lidocaine: a case report
Authors: Dey Mansi , Mishra Bibhu Prasad , Sahoo Abhijeeta
Published: November 2021

Lidocaine is a commonly used local anesthetic in the field of dentistry. It has been known to cause allergic reactions, mainly immunoglobulin (IgE)-mediated and T-cell –mediated type IV reactions, which require the use of alternative drugs without adverse effects.  Here we present the case of a 29 year old female patient who developed Type IV hypersensitivity reaction in the vicinity of the injection site after the administration of lidocaine local anesthetic for performing exodontia. Levocetrizine tablet was prescribed in order to relieve the symptoms of the reaction. Levocetrizine is a selective, potent, oral histamine H(1) receptor antagonist that is used for the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. It has been reported to be effective and generally well tolerated by the patients. In our case also it was able to cure Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to lidocaine without producing any adverse events. Apart from curing allergic rhinitis and urticaria, levocetrizine is a wonderful option for treating Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to a local anesthetic, and it hardly produces any adverse effect. More cases are required to be reported in the future in order to support this article.
Socio-demographic determinants influencing health seeking behavior by men experiencing intimate partner violence in Kisumu municipality informal settlements, Kenya
Authors: Odemba Elizabeth A. , Masinde David R.
Published: November 2021

Background: Socio demographic characteristics are key factors in the health seeking by men experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). A recent study in Kenya showed that 9% of men experience spousal violence with no reports showing their health seeking behavior. This study assessed the socio-demographic determinants on health seeking by men experiencing IPV in Kisumu municipality informal settlements.

Methods: From a target population of 81,882 adult males, 438 adult males aged 18 to 54 years were included in the study from Kisumu municipality informal settlements. Questionnaires were administered to the study participants. Frequency tables expressed as counts and corresponding percentages; chi square test and multiple regression analysis were used in the study.

Results: With 398 responding to the survey, there was 90.8% response rate. Findings showed that 72.4% of the respondents have experienced IPV, out of whom only 19.8% sought health services. Results of socio-demographic characteristics showed that married wage-earning men of ages 18-35 years with secondary and above level of education sought health services when experiencing IPV.

Conclusions: The study established that health seeking in men when experiencing IPV is low despite the fact that it could be life-threatening. Interventions are thus required that would help address men’s cases when faced with any form of violence.

Authors: Glebova Sofia
Published: November 2021

In the context of the general actualization of ethical issues a new type of institution of moral assessment is more and more in demand, which are ethical commissions. When conducting a comparative analysis of the procedure for meetings of ethical commissions and comrade courts, a number of coincidences are found, which give grounds for referring to historical experience as a basis for (un) recognition of the effectiveness of such an approach. The aim of the study is to provide the most complete description of the experience of comradely ships during the period of the most active work in the Soviet Union. Traditionally, comrades' courts are considered from the point of view of legal practice, in this sense, this article is of interest to the scientific community. Using the method of comparative historical analysis, as well as with the help of a specific sociological approach, the process of development of fellow authors and the influence of the institution on society were analyzed. The materials of decisions, decrees and decrees regulating the work of comrade courts were studied, assessments of specialists on this issue, including contemporaries and drafters of regulatory documents, and research on the culture of our time, which makes it possible to determine the degree of influence of comrade courts on public morality and on society as a whole. The reasons for the incomplete fulfillment of the tasks facing the institute in different periods of activity are considered, and general recommendations are formulated for the development of these commissions on the basis of grounds.

The article describes the results of a qualitative study of the image of an ideal Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian citizens conducted by the Chair of Sociology and Psychology of Politics, Dept. of Politics Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2020. The main method of the study was method of deep focused interviews. The results of the study allowed us to identify representations of Russian citizens about the desired and unacceptable qualities of the ideal Deputy. The study showed that one of the sources of forming those ideal representations about Deputies is the perception of real Deputies, which has a sharply negative character. The results can be used as a reference material in the preparation and conduct of election campaigns of candidates for Deputies of the State Duma of the VIII Convocation.
Applied Linguists
Authors: Rajagopalan Kanavillil
Published: November 2021

This paper seeks out future directions for the field of study that has by now fully consolidated itself as an independent discipline under the name of Applied Linguistics. Special attention is drawn to the ‘loosening up’ of the very notion of language as a hermetically sealed entity, impervious to outside influences, as well as the groundbreaking critical turn it has taken in recent years, along with the impulse to intervene in the states of affairs that it unveils through painstaking studies. It is shown that this last development is by no means an optional follow-through from the analytic work customarily done. Rather, it is an inevitable sequel to the new stance adopted by researchers in the field – a development whose roots can, oddly enough, be traced back to Saussure’s thoughts at the very dawn of Linguistics, its ‘mother discipline’.  But it is also emphasized that, side by side with these exciting prospects, there also appear on the horizon some serious challenges to reckon with in the years ahead.

Protection of Whistleblowers in the Workplace. Who Is Protected and Who Is Responsible under the Provisions of the EU Directive 2019/1937?
Authors: Hajn Zbigniew
Published: November 2021

The aim of this chapter is to present selected problems related to the transposition into national law of the provisions of the Directive (EU) 2019/1937 which define the personal scope of its application. The author focuses on the prerequisites for recognising a given person as a whistleblower (reporting person) and including them in the circle of protected persons. Among other things, he considers issues related to the Directive’s departure from the recognition of acting in good faith and in the public interest as conditions for the protection of a whistleblower, as well as the relevance for the protection of a whistleblower of the obligation to report breaches existing in some national laws. He also argues that the relationship that whistleblowers enter into with the organisation affected by the whistleblowing, referred to in the English version as a “work-based relationship”, cannot be equated, as other language versions do, with an employment relationship. The author also proposes, following earlier postulates, to extend the personal scope of protection of facilitators. He also attempts to clarify the notion of “legal entity” as the main entity responsible for the creation and functioning of internal channels. He further postulates more complete regulation in national legislation of the rules of liability of entities responsible for fulfilling the obligations imposed by the Directive.
Shortcomings in the Workplace Whistleblower Protection in France: What to Expect from the Transposition of Directive 2019/1937?
Authors: Bargain Gwenola
Published: November 2021

At first glance, the French legal framework for whistleblower protection may appear to be particularly well developed. Indeed, since the so-called Sapin II Law, it has offered general criteria to qualify a person as a whistleblower and set procedural and substantive guarantees against possible retaliatory measures. Although advanced, the system is not complete. Its shortcomings are repeatedly mentioned, to the extent that the transposition of European Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of 23 October 2019 is an opportunity to correct the limitations of the current system. No matter if the criteria may be too restrictive, the procedure too constraining or the protective measures insufficient, there are many elements that need to be modified. However, a question may arise as to whether a unitary treatment of the alert is possible when it does not always serve the same purpose.
Workplace Whistleblower Protection in Poland: Current Situation and Perspectives
Authors: Skupień Dagmara
Published: November 2021

The chapter analyses the current legal situation of whistleblowers in work-related context in Poland. Protection of whistleblowers is not regulated by a single comprehensive legal act but may be granted on the basis of different pieces of legislation as well as according to the case law of the Supreme Court, which established the concept of ‘permissible criticism’ expressed by a worker. The level of whistleblower protection is by no means satisfactory, especially as regards atypical workers. The author assesses the shortcomings of the current legal situation and presents proposals for improvement in the light of the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive and international conventions ratified by Poland.
Are physicians ready to comply with the guidelines for diagnosis and management of Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases: the survey results 2020–2021
Authors: Bordin D. S. , Krolevets T. S. , Livzan M. A.
Published: November 2021

Objective: To assess compliance of physicians with diagnostic and management guidelines for H. pylori-associated diseases with a question-naire-based survey.

Materials and methods: We conducted an anonymous voluntary online survey of 775 physicians of the following specialties: internal medicine 459 (59.2%), gastroenterology 279 (36%), and endoscopy 34 (4.4%). The respondents expressed their level of agreement with the questionnaire items as follows: 0 – I do not know, 1 – disagree, 2 – partially agree, and 3 – fully agree.

Results: 613 (79.4%) of the physicians fully agreed to diagnose and treat H. pylori in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, 602 (78.0%) in the 1 st degree relatives of gastric cancer patients, 525 (68.0%) in patients with chronic superficial gastritis, 423 (54.8%) in peptic ulcer at remission, and 336 (43.4%) in those with dyspepsia syndrome. The physicians were equally compliant with eradication therapy in the patients, for whom long term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) or non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) is being planned (386 (50.0%) and 397 (51.4%), respectively). Internists were less compliant with diagnosis and management of H. pylori in patients taking both PPI (χ2 = 66.525, p = 0.004) and NSAID (χ2 = 103.354, p = 0.003). Among the primary diagnostic tools for H. pylori the physicians preferred 13/14С-urease breath test (545 physicians, or 70.6%) and gastric bioptate morphology (574, or 74.4%), and among the control diagnostic methods they chose fаeces analyses (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and polymerase chain reaction). The respondents considered bismuth-enhanced standard triple therapy with clarithromycin to be the most effective regimen for the 1 st line eradication therapy (606, 78.5%). To increase the efficacy of eradication therapy, the physicians were more prone to administer esomeprazole or rabeprazole (70.6%), bismuth-based agents (79.4%), than to use rebamipid (35%), probiotics (44.9%) and/or to double PPI doses (44.2%). The respondents expressed their concerns with low patient compliance to treatment (59.4%) and limited diagnostic capabilities (49.4%).

Conclusion: Physician's compliance with the guidelines on diagnosis and management of H. pylori-associated diseases is adequate and might depend on both their awareness and availability of the proposed diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
