To Determine the Acute Toxicity Pesticide of Malathion and Metabolic Activities and Respiratory Responses in Freshwater Fish Labeo Rohita
Authors: Nisha S. Nazerath , Geetha B.
Published: November 2022

The water pollution of aquatic environment with wide array of pesticides has become a menace to the aquatic flora and fauna. The organophosphorus pesticide malathion has been widely used in agriculture for several crops such as paddy, cotton and vegetables to control serious insects and mites. These chemicals cause severe damage to aquatic ecosystem especially to fishes. The main aim and objective of present study is to evaluate the impact on protein and glycogen in fingerlings of Labeo rohita an economically important Indian major carp. The 96 hrs LC50 value of malathion for L.rohita was 9.0 ml/L. No mortality was observed below the concentration of 7.5 ml/L. The changes in biochemical parameters such as protein and glycogen are important to indicate the susceptibility of organs system to pollutants by altering their function. In the present investigation the protein and glycogen contents of muscles, gills, liver, kidney and brain of L.rohita were analysed. Fish reared in control group registered high protein and glycogen contents when compared with malathion treated groups during 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs respectively. The similar results were obtained in the oxygen consumption of L.rohita during 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs respectively It is concluded that malathion concentrations (low and high) is very toxic and causes alterations in vital organs of fish L. rohita.
Effectiveness of Municipal Solid Waste Management in Tamil Nadu with Special Reference to Thiruvallur District
Authors: Sankar P Jayendira
Published: November 2022

The study is aimed to identify the effectiveness of solid waste management in Tamil Nadu with special reference to Thiruvallur District. “In recent times, the continuous increase of solid waste is a serious problem with the urban and rural areas. The rapid growth of population and increasing per-capita income has resulted in the generation of enormous solid waste posing a serious threat to environmental quality and human health. Improper disposal of waste often results in spread of diseases and contamination of water bodies and soils. The impacts on these wastes on the economy cannot be ignored and managing them has become a major problem. Municipal solid waste management continues to be a major challenge to local governments in both urban and rural areas across the world, and one of the key issues is their financial constraints”. [9] “In Tamil Nadu there are 12 Corporations, 124 Municipalities and 528 Town Panchayats. In total the solid waste generation is 14,600 Tons per day. The Greater Chennai Corporation generates 5000 TPD, 11 Corporation and all Municipalities generate about 7600 TPD and all the town panchayat generates 2000 TPD. The board is advocating the concept of waste segregation at source, waste reduction, recycle and reuse to avoid any environmental issues during handling”.
Global Warming and Environmental Imbalance
Authors: Joshi Rakesh , Vyas Falguni
Published: November 2022

The natural resources like earth, wind, water, trees are the basis of human-life. For the bright future of human beings, it is essential to use these resources with a great care. ‘Environment’ means the physical, chemical and biological surroundings in which an organism exists. Thus, environment is the gift of nature. Prior to 20th century, there was no major evidence of human influence on environment. Environmental degradation up to this period was mainly due to natural disasters, like cyclone, earthquake etc. Up to that period; natural resources were not used beyond their regenerative capacities. So, what was used, was regenerated. But, after the population explosion in the world, the situation started changing. Gradually, this led to serious environmental degradation behind which, the need and greed of human kind is responsible. Ever increasing pollution, demolition of forests and bio-diversity, increase in global warming, etc. have alarmed us for awareness of environmental protection. Worldwide environmental awareness was started during the 1960s. The main impetus came from the publication of a book ‘Silent Spring’ by Rachel Carson in 1962. This book revealed the risk of using some pesticides and their bad effects on human life and thereby showed the necessity for the protection of earth. The world summit held at Rio-de-Janeiro in 1992, had focused the attention towards environmental problems. The economists also started looking afresh to the central economic problem of resource scarcity in relation to their possible uses. After 1970, many economists started arguing that development can be made sustainable only with efficient and judicious use of natural resources. In this paper, we have described various factors responsible for environmental hazards and we have also suggested our duties regarding the protection of the earth.
Impact of Environmental Pollutions and Waste Management
Authors: Kaveri A. , Dhanasekaran S.
Published: November 2022

This paper will discuss the problem of environmental pollution and waste management. Everything that surrounds us is directly or indirectly connected to the environment. Not only the man, but also other living beings as well as the nature (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes) have effects on environmental pollution. Environmental pollution is present from the very beginning of life, but today it is a serious problem that threatens the survival of mankind. During the preparation of scientific research, we noticed a problem: “What is the influence of the waste management on the environment?” Today, every person living on planet Earth is worried about environmental pollution because the consequences faced every day, through the air we breathe, the food and water we consume, through pollution and radiation we are exposed to. Also, the consequences of environmental problems are manifested through the lack of natural resources, extinction of plant and animal species, as well as the problems in the global ecosystems and biochemical processes. Based on the research problem we can hypothesize: Yes, waste management has a great impact on the environment.
An Environmental Study on Problems Faced by Healthcare Visitors of Kanchipuram District
Authors: Palaniraj N. , V. Prakash
Published: November 2022

India as a developing economy is healthier nation because of proper and well-developed healthcare infrastructure. This leads to improvement in the life years and happiness of the population. The high life style increases the unhealthy practices of eating culture, fast food, no exercise and other. Even children’s are facing serious health issues in early ages. Due to this, every individual’s visiting the hospitals at least once in a month. Many get diseases while visiting hospitals where there is poor maintenance of various wastes, which leads to air pollution, waste water pollution, bio medical waste pollution, and soil pollution. Tamil nadu serve as a hub of medical services in India which also spreads to major hospital accrued infections to human beings as well as to the environment. This research study highlights about the environmental problems which are posed by the health care centers to the humans and animals.
Migration from Mexico to the US: The Impacts of NAFTA on Mexico and the United States and What to Do Going Forward
Authors: Elsasser Ashley
Published: November 2022

Research indicates four main causes for migration from Mexico to the United States: Incredibly high crime rates, unemployment, poverty rates, and natural disasters. The first two are especially important in regards to trade between the two border sharing countries. Since agreeing to virtually total free trade, the United States has been able to take advantage of Mexico in such a way that has created further deterioration of the state. If the government of Mexico cannot resurrect the thousands of personal business that were effected do to NAFTA, the U.S. cannot expect for migration from Mexico to deteriorate or halt. By displacing Mexico’s small business owner’s, Mexico has effectively made their citizens weak to the inevitable increase in poverty, and the Cartels that have bought out swaths of land and human lives. In this paper, I reveal the direct correlations between agreements within the NAFTA and the millions of displaced agricultural workers in Mexico that caused an increase of immigration from Mexico to the United States. On January 1, 1994, The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which includes Canada, Mexico, and the United States, was officially formed. By 2008, virtual free trade in almost all goods and services was established amongst all three countries, with the exception of a limited number of agricultural products traded specifically with Canada. The trade agreements of NAFTA were coupled with a surge of Mexican migrants to the U.S. The question under investigation is, why did so many Mexicans move to the United States after the NAFTA was signed? Contrary to the theoretical benefits of free trade, many citizens of the United States and Mexico have developed deep contention towards the agreement between their countries. In the United States, those whose’ lives revolve around the manufacturing industry argue that increased trade with low-wage countries, such as Mexico, threatens their employment due to industrial re-location. Mexican’s argue that the U.S. is dumping agricultural products and manufacturing industries that destroy local business and decrease the standard of living. More than 35 million Americans have Mexican roots, and Mexico is the United States’ third-largest trading partner, next to China. Despite the positive correlation that the economic gravity theory presents, that both countries are at an advantage to trade with one-another, I’m afraid it’s information is flawed. As the United States and Mexico attempt to find a way to grow their economies and decrease migration, from Mexico to the U.S., it is imperative for them to understand that free-trade, under the current NAFTA, has actually increased immigration from Mexico to the U.S. because of minimal protectionisms for Mexico’s workers- especially in agriculture. This paper is written with the intent to inform people of the relationship between trade and immigration, specifically, between the U.S. and Mexico.
Colossal Insurance Sector of India
Authors: Prasad More Anuradha
Published: November 2022

Insurance sector has its roots in the Indian economy since 1818 when the first insurance company Oriental Life insurance was established at Calcutta [now Kolkata]. Even the reference can be found in the form of marine adventure trade loans and carrier’s contracts. Industry started taking shape during the British reigning. Since then the insurance industry has undergone the various reforms/changes. Enactment of Insurance Act 1938, nationalization of Life insurance sector in the year 1956, General insurance Sector in the year 1972 and again with the recommendation of Malhotra Committee Report insurance sector reopened for private players in the year 1999. Setup of IRDAI to regulate and develop Insurance Industry and to secure financial stability of the insurance sector was an added incentive too. Various efforts by the IRDAI and the Government of India such as digital channels for marketing, launching of various social scheme such as PMFBY, PMSBY, PMJBY, RSBY for increasing the penetration of insurance segment specially in rural and social sector of India. Still getting insured is the priority for the entrepreneur and professionals only. Hence it is need of an hour to think about the reasons for low penetration of insurance and the ways to foster incessant growth!
2 - Marginal Youths or Outlaws? Youth Street Gangs, Globalisation, and Violence in Contemporary Sierra Leone
Authors: Abdullah Ibrahim
Published: November 2022

Sierra Leoneans were shocked when video clips of the Central Correctional Centre gallows began circulating on social media after the Minister of Internal Affairs instructed the prison authorities to get ready to take life. The Minister’s pronouncement came hot on the heels of a series of alleged gang-related murders that rocked Freetown in 2016. What are the complex linkages between street violence and youth marginalisation? How might violence among marginal youth relate to unplanned urbanisation, the retreat of the state, the neoliberal paradigm, and the wider political economy – all trappings of an exclusionary globalisation process that continues to exclude those at the periphery? This article describes the appropriation by marginal actors of global cultural influences and their transcription into deadly weapons of the weak in furtherance of a survivalist objective anchored in citizenship. The research is based on fieldwork conducted in five cities in Sierra Leone – group discussions and in-depth interviews with over 300 participants, all identifying themselves as gangsters belonging to one of the three dominant team/ set federations: Crip, Blood, and Black (Black Hood or Black Game). Problematising their quotidian existence in contemporary Africa raises fundamental questions about globalisation and citizenship in the making of subaltern subjectivities.

6 - Impact Pathways of Weather Information for Smallholder Farmers: A Qualitative ex ante Analysis
Authors: Yegbemey Rosaine N. , Aloukoutou Aline M. , Aïhounton Ghislain B. D.
Published: November 2022

This article explores ex ante the impact pathways of a hypothetical intervention which consists in providing smallholder farmers with weather-related information. It uses a qualitative approach based on focus group discussions in three villages with smallholder farmers and agricultural extension officers to build a theory of change. Results suggest that providing smallholder farmers with weather-related information has the potential to help them in taking informed production decisions. In doing so, smallholder farmers can better allocate their production resources and eventually record higher yield and income. The ultimate impact is that smallholder farmers will have better lives (i.e. livelihoods). There are several types of weather-related information that can be useful for farmers. There are also several dissemination channels. Some are based on local social networks and others on information and communication technologies. Each channel has strengths and weaknesses and the best or optimal dissemination approach would probably depend on the setting of the intervention area. A number of assumptions need to be in place for an impactful intervention. For instance, weather-related information needs to be accurate, available in a timely manner and easy to use. The described possible impact pathways need to be tested rigorously through policy-oriented research.

6 - Restructured Citizen–Government Relationship in Kenya's 2010 Constitution and the Right of Hawkers to the City in Nairobi
Authors: Wangui Kimani Esther , Gachigua Sammy Gakero , Kariuki George Mbugua
Published: November 2022

This article interrogates how various actors in the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) space have made sense of the 2010 Constitution’s expansive provisions on socio-political and economic rights to advance hawkers’ claims to the right to the city. Using Lefebvre’s and human rights notions of the ‘right to the city’, the study finds that the Constitution has immense potential to secure the hawkers’ right to the city. However, various challenges impede efforts towards its realisation. Firstly, the 2007 no-hawking-in-the-CBD bylaw exerts inordinate influence, in practice suppressing the Constitution’s aspirations. Secondly, the City authorities’ efforts to facilitate the hawkers’ right to the city remain ambivalent or dependent on the whims of the serving governor. Thirdly, initiatives by other actors remain elitist, top- down and opaque with only the superficial involvement of hawkers. On their part, hawkers’ initiatives to claim their right to the city have suffered from fragmented leadership and individualistic self-help micro-strategies. Furthermore, hawkers have underutilised judicial activism as an avenue for challenging the constitutionality of the city bylaws banning hawking in the CBD. This strategy would potentially have provided a discursive platform to make their claim to the city the moral-legal claim envisaged by the Constitution.

2 - Transcending the State–Market Dichotomy, Developmentalism and Industrial Change: Learning from Critical African Scholars
Authors: Ikpe Eka
Published: November 2022

Claude Ake presents the study of development as underpinned by Eurocentric teleologism. This refers particularly to how Western social sciences have been shaped around key disciplines that have been designed to restrain the ‘dynamic character of reality’, with a focus on analysing order as opposed to change. This article demonstrates the intellectual and practical limitations of linear understandings of change and transition that abstract from the ‘dynamic character of reality’ through disciplinary and other modes of confinement. This has, for instance, underpinned the tendency towards dichotomisation between the state and market across the ideological spectrum, in the study of development. The article responds to this challenge by centring critical African development thought in the work of Claude Ake, Thandika Mkandawire and Adebayo Olukoshi, and shows how conceptual development and analyses that are grounded in empirical experiences of transition problematise strict delineations of the milieus of the state and market, and the limiting of industrial development to particular sectors. In doing so, it showcases how progressing beyond linear analyses of transition, such as through paradigm extension of the developmental state paradigm to the enhanced developmental state paradigm, draws on the work of these key critical scholars.

Les perceptions sont basées sur les effets de cette stratégie : accès limité au marché, aux opportunités d'affaires, aux infrastructures de base, ainsi qu’aux réseaux sociaux. La stratégie de délocalisation de l'exploitation minière de Twangiza a permis des différences significatives dans les caractéristiques socio-économiques entre les ménages délocalisés et non délocalisés. Dans le contexte de l'exploitation minière industrielle dans les communautés rurales, l'analyse de la déterritorialisation indique que les aspects socio-économiques des populations sont plus nécessaires dans la perception des communautés que les autres aspects et sont des facteurs sur lesquels toute politique de délocalisation des ménages devrait être basée.

Vom Winde verweht? Zu den Widerständen gegen den Windenergieanlagenausbau in Deutschland
Authors: Winkelmann Thorsten , Birner Sophia Charlotte
Published: November 2022

Im Zuge der Energiewende plant die Bundesregierung den weiteren Ausbau der Windenergie, da diese Form der Stromerzeugung in vergleichender Perspektive mittel- bis langfristig die größten Potentiale verspricht. Dagegen regt sich jedoch umfassender gesellschaftlicher Widerstand, der im vorliegenden Beitrag - durch die Auswertung unterschiedlicher Plattformen wie »Windwahn«, »Vernunftkraft« und »Gegenwind« - hinsichtlich gewählter Organisationsformen (Strukturen und Prozesse) und Kommunikationsstrategien (Frames und Kampagnen) analysiert werden soll. Bundesweit haben sich insgesamt 977 Widerstandsformen (Bürgerinitiativen, Vereine, Verbände, usw.) identifizieren lassen. Neben der institutionellen Verfasstheit dieser Proteste stehen die - auf den Homepages und Facebook-Auftritten zum Vorschein kommenden - hegemonialen Deutungen im Mittelpunkt dieser Untersuchung. Die Widerstände thematisieren dabei wirtschaftliche, gesundheitliche und naturschutzrechtliche Risiken von Windenergieanlagen.
WSI-Verteilungsbericht 2022 : Armut grenzt aus
Authors: Spannagel Dorothee , Zucco Aline
Published: November 2022

In Deutschland ist der Anteil der Armen in der letzten Dekade deutlich angestiegen. Einkommensarmut ist – das zeigt der diesjährige WSI-Verteilungsbericht auf Basis der SOEP-Daten eindeutig – weit mehr als nur ein Mangel an finanziellen Ressourcen. Wer in Deutschland arm ist, erwirbt weniger Bildungskompetenzen, hat ein höheres Morbiditätsrisiko oder lebt auf kleinerer Wohnfläche. Diese schlechteren Lebenslagen der armen Bevölkerung gehen auch mit einer geringeren Lebenszufriedenheit einher. Gleichzeitig – so legt es die HBS-Lebenslagenbefragung nahe – lässt sich vor allem in dieser Gruppe nur ein geringes Vertrauen in politische Akteure beobachten. Der Bericht verdeutlicht, dass Armut nicht nur weniger gesellschaftliche Teilhabe für die Betroffenen bedeutet, sondern deren Vertrauen in demokratische Institutionen untergräbt. Gefährdet ist deswegen letztlich auch das demokratische gesellschaftliche System, wenn Bedürfnisse der armen Bevölkerung strukturell vernachlässigt werden. Die Bekämpfung von Einkommensarmut ist somit auch gesamtgesellschaftlich eine dringende Notwendigkeit, wobei es vor allem gilt, Chancengleichheit und volle gesellschaftlich Teilhabe für Arme zu fördern.
Consideration of Acute Porphyria in an Emergency Department Patient: A Case Report and Discussion of Common Pitfalls
Authors: Rios Anthony , Kehrberg Lisa , Davis Hillary
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Porphyria refers to a group of disorders associated with defects in heme synthesis. They can be associated with severely debilitating features, including abdominal pain, psychiatric symptoms, neurological defects, and cardiovascular irregularities. Although these diseases are rare, patients with attacks often do present to the emergency department (ED) where consideration of porphyria is generally not included in the differential.

Case Report: Here, we examine a case of a 16-year-old male who presented to our ED for evaluation of recurring abdominal pain and auditory hallucinations in which porphyria was considered by the emergency physician.

Discussion: Not considering acute porphyria in patients with recurring neurovisceral symptoms in the ED can lead to missed opportunities for diagnosing such pathologies.

Published: November 2022

En Argentina en el año 2013 se promulgó la Ley 26.899 de Repositorios Institucionales Digitales de Acceso Abierto (AA) promoviendo de esta manera, la igualdad al acceso de la información científica incluidos sus datos. En consonancia con ello, las políticas de AA a la producción científica en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC) fueron aprobadas al finalizar el año 2017 como un impulso claro y firme en la publicación de la ciencia.La incertidumbre actual, acerca de la gestión de datos científicos ha despertado la iniciativa en realización de diversos estudios enfocados en dar respuesta a interrogantes sobre esta práctica. Así es como se inicia un trayecto de concientización dentro de la comunidad científica para compartir no sólo los resultados de las investigaciones, sino aquellos datos producidos en ella, tan necesarios para el avance de la ciencia.
El trabajo realizado comprende una descripción de la estructura institucional que respalda la iniciativa. Los aportes obtenidos de entrevistas y encuestas realizadas a referentes del acceso abierto e investigadores de la Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades de la UNC, permite lograr un acercamiento a la información sobre el grado de conocimiento que algunos trabajadores de la ciencia poseen el AA a datos.Se evidencia un trabajo operativo y de promoción importante realizado desde la Oficina del Conocimiento Abierto (OCA) de la UNC y la existencia de una comunidad partidaria a la iniciativa de compartir datos bajo la condición de una adecuada administración de ellos, y por otro lado, la ausencia de políticas específicas de publicación de datos científicos que genera cierta vacilación al momento de publicar.

Se postula que la biblioteca es un instrumento del progreso espiritual laico, en esta línea de pensamiento, se presenta una mirada a los desafíos del bibliotecario como Bibliotecario Consciente, como contrapunto del Decálogo del Bibliotecario de Eco que presenta a un bibliotecario que padece de bournot.La atención plena, conocida también como mindfulness, ofrece al practicante desde el manejo del dolor o el estrés, hasta la consecución indirecta de objetivos más cotidianos como la mejora de la atención y concentración en el estudio y o el trabajo, pues hay evidencias disponibles y testimonios en lo relativo a su contribución contra estos trastornos de la salud psicosocial y la reorientación de la vida y el trabajo.Parece oportuno abrir la posibilidad a que el mindfulness sea empleada como una herramienta al auxilio de los bibliotecarios, para su desempeño profesional en las áreas de autocuidado, la prevención de patologías severas como el estrés o el llamado burnout, y el trabajo con colaborativo y la atención misma con los usuarios de biblioteca, tal como postulan los trabajos de Mastel,K., Innes, G. (2013), Moniz, R., (Moniz, R. et.al, 2015, Moniz, 2016), Wendy C. et. al., (2017),Charney, M., Colvin, J. (2017).Por otra parte, se constata que la propia biblioteca actualmente en el mundo hispano, ofrece oportunidades para el estudio, práctica y difusión del mindfulness en la biblioteca, tanto en servicios de divulgación o en sus propias colecciones especializadas, dirigidas a los usuarios o lectores.Se postula como conclusión que la práctica continua supone la oportunidad de estar abierto a apreciar y reconocer el llamado de la profesión a aprender y desaprender en el presente para ir con toda atención a co-crear las respuestas para un futuro viable de la biblioteca.
producción editorial científica en el capitalismo informacional. Revista PREFACIO de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
Authors: Elizondo Elida
Published: November 2022

La edición de revistas científicas en las universidades han tenido dos grandes componentes generadores de cambios sustanciales en el trabajo editorial, por un lado la iniciativa de Acceso Abierto (AA) a la información científica en el mundo desde el año 2002, y por el otro, el desembarco del capitalismo cognitivo o informacional, centrado en la valorización del conocimiento como productor de bienes informacionales.

La revista PREFACIO surge temporalmente en dicho ámbito, por ende las experiencias laborales no han tenido modificaciones en gran escala, utilizando desde su nacimiento la tecnología para la generación y distribución de la publicación científica. No obstante ello y producto de consultas realizadas a integrantes del equipo editorial, no existe una retribución por las tareas realizadas, en términos económicos y de reconocimiento institucional, cuya condición se ajusta al término de colaborador.

En este sentido, la precarización del trabajo en revistas científicas es un punto central para reflexionar, teniendo en cuenta que dicho trabajo es complementario de otros que realiza el grupo, insume un tiempo importante en su producción y no se encuentra regulado.
Estructura del conocimiento de la literatura publicada sobre el Parque Nacional Natural Serranía de Chiribiquete (PNNSCH).
Authors: Restrepo Arango Cristina
Published: November 2022

Identifica la red de conocimiento de las publicaciones producidas sobre el Parque Nacional Natural Serranía de Chiribiquete (PNNSCH) con el análisis de redes de copalabras. Por ello se diseñó una base de datos Endnote con 119 referencias bibliográficas obtenidas en diferentes bases de datos y catálogos de bibliotecas. Se usó la estadística descriptiva para obtener el porcentaje de documentos producidos por idiomas y tipologías. Para el análisis de redes de copalabras se usó el software Bibexcel para obtener la matriz de copalabras y el software de Pajek para obtener la estructura gráfica de la red de copalabras de los cuatro periodos que fueron de 1944 a 1988; 1989 a 2002; 2003 a 2009 y 2010 a 2021. Se encontraron 119 publicaciones en las que predominan el español (95%) y las tipologías documentales de artículos (50%), libros (10%) y capítulos de libros (10%). La palabra clave más usada y central en los cuatro periodos es “Parque Nacional Natural Serranía de Chiribiquete”. La red de copalabras más pequeña es la del periodo de 1944 a 1988, la más grande es de 1989 a 2002, mientras que las redes de los otros periodos se mantienen estables.
Health Economics of Selective Early Rescue Surfactant Administration and Standard Surfactant Administration for Newborns With Respiratory Distress Syndrome

OBJECTIVE

To quantify the effect of early rescue surfactant administration techniques for preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) from a health care delivery system perspective.

METHODS

A cost-consequence model was developed based on previously published literature to compare the health economic impact of implementing early surfactant administration strategies vs standard surfactant administration via endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation (MV).

RESULTS

Early rescue surfactant treatment strategies are associated with a decrease in the number of patients requiring MV, cumulative MV days, and rate of neonatal complications. Total annual surfactant costs are higher than standard surfactant administration, but this is offset by savings in total hospital and complication costs.

CONCLUSIONS

This cost-consequence analysis suggests selective early rescue surfactant administration strategies are associated with a lower health care burden in premature infants with RDS.
Ceftaroline and Daptomycin Combination Antibiotic Therapy for a Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Liver Abscess in a Premature Infant
Authors: Heger Margaret L. , Al-Sayyad Ban
Published: November 2022

Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacterial etiology for infections in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can be difficult to treat, even when good source control is obtained. There are few data on treatment of MRSA abscess in the neonatal population. Vancomycin, clindamycin, daptomycin, ceftaroline, and linezolid are often used to treat MRSA infections in pediatric patients. Daptomycin and ceftaroline have been studied in adults as a salvage therapy for refractory MRSA infections. Few data exist on combination therapy for treatment of MRSA infection in neonatal or premature infant patients. This case report describes the successful use of intravenous (IV) daptomycin (6 mg/kg IV every 12 hours) plus ceftaroline (8 mg/kg IV every 8 hours) for 18 days after failure of daptomycin monotherapy to treat multiple hepatic abscesses and an infected thrombus caused by MRSA in a premature female born at 30 weeks of gestation. The patient had increased abscess size after daptomycin monotherapy and treatment was changed to combination therapy. With addition of the ceftaroline, the abscesses resolved entirely on ultrasonography within 3 weeks. While combination therapy was effective in this patient, additional research is needed to determine the most appropriate use for combination therapy for treatment of MRSA infections in the premature infant and neonatal population.
Preterm Neonate With Dexamethasone-Induced Acute Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Cardiogenic Shock

This case report describes an extremely low birth weight infant, born at 26-week gestational age, who developed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and cardiogenic shock a few hours after administration of a small dose of dexamethasone. Although cases of steroid-induced cardiomyopathy in preterm neonates are known in literature, their adverse effects are insidious and are transient in occurrence. This is the first report of HCM and cardiogenic shock occurring acutely after administration of small-dose dexamethasone. This neonate received small-dose dexamethasone initially to prevent reintubation, and again to facilitate successful extubation. Both occurrences were associated with acute cardiac decompensation with reduction in ejection fraction within hours of administration. Cardiac function subsequently improved with discontinuation of drug and use of inotropic pharmacotherapy. Studies outlined in this report show that steroid-induced HCM is known and not isolated to dexamethasone alone; however, little is known on the adverse effect of small-dose steroid in resulting acute cardiac decompensation. This case is of educational value in clinical practice by highlighting the potential adverse effects even at the smaller doses of dexamethasone currently recommended in extremely low birth weight infants.
From Fiend to Friend

Ancient Egyptian funerary books are rich with incantations and depictions of an array of snakes. While some were considered evil creatures, others were deified. In this paper we are particularly interested in studying the serpent Sata, a serpent that appears in ancient Egyptian texts and representations from the Old Kingdom onwards. The serpent’s presence is predominant in the funerary context with its zenith in the Book of the Dead, where one of the Trans- formation Spells is dedicated to ensuring the transformation of the deceased into Sata. The material related to the serpent is studied and analyzed to reach an understanding of the perception of the creature in the eyes of the ancient Egyptians with a focus on dynastic Egypt. The material includes a corpus of 38 representations of Sata that has been classified according to shape into four categories and is included in the appendix attached to the current work.
