ABSTRACTIntroduction: Metal stabilizing implants used in pediatric fractures have to be removed to not inhibit the growth of bones. Bioabsorbable implants can save children from surgical removal of the fixating material. As there have been only a few reports regarding children, we decided to evaluate the clinical advantages of bioabsorbable screws in the treatment of selected bone fractures in pediatric traumatology.Materials and methods: The study group included 35 patients with bone fractures aged 5–17 years (mean 13.2 years) fixed with LactoSorb® bioabsorbable screws made of polymeric lactic acid and polyglycolic acid. The follow-up was compared with a matched control group of 35 children that underwent operative fixation of the same type of fractures with metal screws. Results: Clinical and radiological follow-up showed that bone unions were obtained in all cases, with no signs of osteolysis. The time of immobilization was slightly shorter in the study group (5.5 weeks) than among controls (6.2 weeks; p = 0.038). There were no differences in complications, wound infections, pain management and time of hospitalization between both groups.Conclusions: The use of bioabsorbable material in the treatment of fractures in pediatric traumatology is a safe alternative to metal stabilizing devices, with clinical benefits for young patients including no necessity of a second surgery and anesthesia.
Neurobiologiczne aspekty duchowości
Authors: Dyk Wiesław 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACTAt the core of ethology, Konrad Lorenz’s notion of spirituality is identical with the notion of culture. In the context of neuroscience, the gap between the spheres of spirituality and culture is significant; however the spiritual aspect of culture depends on the human spirit. In the context of brain evolutionary processes, the thalamus plays an important role in the shaping of spirituality. Animal and human brain structures and functions show an evolutionary leap between the infraorbital region and the prefrontal cortex, which gives good for searching there for human spirituality. Neuroscientists not only associate human spirituality with brain evolution and development, but also see the foundations of morality and consciousness in its structures. Recent neurobiological research is very insightful into what used to be an exclusively philosophical area of expertise. The considerations presented in the article include language, mora­lity, rationality and mind, in the context of evolution.
The level of anxiety and coping strategies in young adults with developmental dyslexia
Authors: Łodygowska Ewa 
Published: January 2020

Abstract

Introduction: Developmental dyslexia affects 3–18% of the population. The consequences are not only in difficulties in reading and writing, but also emotional and motivational problems that persist into adult life. Many studies confirm that people with dyslexia cope worse than those without.
The aim of this research is to determine if young adults with developmental dyslexia differ from their non-dyslectic peers in terms of anxiety and coping strategies, as well as to verify if there are differences in the relationship of these variables for adults with dyslexia and without.

Materials and methods: 180 young adults (19–28 years old) were examined, 90 with dyslexia, 90 without dyslexia, using:
1) demographic survey, 2) Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) by Endler and Parker, 3) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory by Spielberger et al.

Results: Research does not draw a distinction between young adults with dyslexia and those without in terms of levels of anxiety and styles of coping with stress. Anxiety-trait is significantly associated with the styles of coping with stress. A higher level of anxiety-trait determines a higher intensity of styles focused on emotions and avoidance, a low level of anxiety-trait is associated with a task-oriented copying style. In both the compared groups, the anxiety-trait had a similar impact on the strategy of coping with stress.

Conclusion: Young adults with dyslexia do not show a higher level of anxiety than those without. They also do not reveal a greater intensity of maladaptive styles of coping with stress.

Abstract

Introduction: Coaching and mentoring is a form of personal and professional development, which could change the image of the modern nursing profession and encourage nurses. Would allow leaders to introduce new solutions that could provide satisfaction from work and promote the development of nursing. The purpose of the study was to know the level of knowledge about coaching and mentoring among nurses.

Materials and methods: The study involved 256 active nurses employed in the different branches of the Public Independently targeted Clinical Hospital No. 2 Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin (Poland). As a diagnostic survey was used. Research tool was the original questionnaire surveys consisting of 29 questions.

Results: Although respondents were generally familiar with the term ‚coaching’, only 4.5% indicated the correct definition. Among nursing staff 43.5% did not know what coaching is and did not declare that they knew the definition. The correct definition of mentoring was shown by 30.5% of respondents, with 32.5% indicating an incorrect response, despite declaring the familiarity with this term.

Conclusions: The knowledge in an environment nursing on coaching and mentoring as a means of personal development is negligible. Mentoring is more well known and understood. As for the anticipated benefits indicates the need to undertake systematic training of nursing staff in this regard.
Contamination of food with cadmium and dioxins – influence on the human body
Authors: Słojewska Aleksandra , Gutowska Izabela 
Published: January 2020

Abstract

Introduction: Food is a carrier of many pollutants nowadays. For cadmium and dioxins, it is the main source of these compounds in the general population.
Hence, the aim of this work was to collect data on the health effects associated with exposure to cadmium and dioxins which get into the human body through food.

Materials and methods: A literature review was conducted by searching the scientific Medline database (PubMed) and Google Scholar.

Results: Health effects associated with a long-term exposure to low doses of cadmium and dioxins may be nonspecific and are rarely attributed to food sources. These may cause disorders affecting hormonal balance, kidney function, lipid metabolism, fertility, cognitive function, bone mineralization, and susceptibility to diseases and allergies. These compounds may also lead to cancer development.

Conclusions: The general population faces the problem of long-term exposure to small doses of these substances due to their accumulation in the body, even if their amounts do not exceed the relevant standards. The health effects of this type of exposure may be significantly delayed and are not likely to be attributed to the consumption of contaminated food. Consumers wishing to reduce the amounts of these compounds delivered to the body should limit the consumption of grilled and smoked products, and should also opt for organic food.

Authors: Naidoo Keshena , Wyk Jacqueline van 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background Globally people are living longer, resulting in an increased demand for primary care services to be responsive to geriatric health needs. There is however, little data on the nature and prevalence of age-related health conditions among people aged 60 years and older in the sub-Saharan African (SSA) region. This scoping review was undertaken to synthesise evidence on the scope and nature of age-related health needs among people aged 60 years and older in SSA, in order to inform reforms in health systems and health professions education. Methods We systematically searched five electronic databases for studies published prior to 30 June 2019. Using the keywords “Africa”, “older adult” or “geriatric”, and “health”, two independent reviewers used a set of eligibility criteria to extract and screen the abstracts and full-text publications. Particular focus was given to age-dependent disorders in people over 60 years such as dementia, disability and falls. Results Sixty-four studies met the inclusion criteria. The review revealed a noticeable absence of studies from the majority of Sub-Saharan African countries. Publications included for review represent twelve countries from this region. The morbidities reported on included dementia, functional impairment, mental health, falls, sarcopenia and nutritional disorders, sensory impairment, frailty and musculoskeletal disorders. Many of these conditions co-existed among older adults, resulting in impaired quality of life and disability. Modifiable factors for geriatric morbidity such as hypertension, depression, cognitive and sensory impairments were under-diagnosed and often untreated. Conclusions The body of empiric research and evidence on age-related health conditions in geriatric people in SSA remains small. The prevalence of reported age-related health conditions was comparable to that in high-income countries. However, chronic conditions in the elderly were underdiagnosed and undertreated, often resulting in disability. An urgent review of current health systems and health professions training is required, taking into consideration the findings of this study. Ethics and dissemination : This study did not include human participants. Data was sourced from published literature. Keywords: older adult - geriatric - aged - health - Africa

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Organizational culture could facilitate or impede the implementation of new interventions or policies. The Integrated Chronic Disease Management (ICDM) model was introduced in clinics across South Africa to strengthen delivery of care and improve clinical outcomes for patients with chronic conditions, but the determinants of its implementation have not been assessed. This study assessed whether organizational culture influences the fidelity of implementation of the ICDM model at primary health care (PHC) clinics in South Africa. The abbreviated Denison organizational culture survey tool was administered to 90 staff members to assess three cultural traits: involvement, consistency and adaptability of six PHC clinics in two health districts in South Africa. Each cultural trait has three indices with five items, giving a total of 45 items. The items were scored on a Likert scale ranging from one (strongly disagree) to five (strongly agree), and mean scores were calculated for each item, cultural traits and indices. Descriptive statistics were used to describe participants and clinics, and Pearson correlation coefficient to asses association between fidelity and culture. Participants’ mean age was 38.8 (SD = 10.35) years, and 54.4% (49/90) were nurses. The overall mean score for the Denison organizational culture was 3.63 (SD = 0.58). The involvement (team orientation, empowerment and capability development) cultural trait had the highest (3.71; SD = 0.72) mean score, followed by adaptability (external focus) (3.62; SD = 0.56), and consistency (3.56; SD = 0.63). There was a weak, non-statistically significant negative correlation between fidelity level and organizational culture scores ( r = -0.117; p= 0.272). There were no statistically significant differences in cultural indices and cultural traits scores between the six PHC clinics. However, culture scores were significantly different by health districts. Leadership intervention is required to purposefully align the organizational culture of clinics with their mission.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Background One hundred fifty-seven preterm infants enrolled in the study were hospitalized between 2012-2014 at Amiens-Picardie University Hospital.Only 28 (17.8%) of these children who had experienced at least one episode of secondary Coagulase-negative Staphylococcal bacteremia with concomitant positive stool cultures were included in this study.The purpose of this study was to assess the rate of intestinal bacterial translocation associated with these infections. Methods Blood cultures and stool cultures were performed in the context of this study. All isolates of Staphylococcus spp were examined by MALDI-TOF MS. Antibiotic susceptibility and genotyping were also performed. Results Sixteen resistance patterns were identified from blood and stool based on antibiotic susceptibility testing. Ten of the Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strains isolated from blood samples exhibited R pattern e (35.7%) and eleven of the Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strains isolated from stool samples exhibited R pattern e (39.2%). Blood culture results were concordant with stool culture results in 53.5% of cases and discordant in 46.5% of cases.Fifteen isolates exhibited three ERIC-2 (A, B, C) and three RAPD-PCR (D, E, F) patterns. ERIC-2 patterns comprised A ( S. epidermidis isolates); B ( S. haemolyticus isolates) and C ( unidentified Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates). RAPD patterns consisted of D ( unidentified Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates), E ( S. haemolyticus isolates), and F ( S. epidermidis isolates). Conclusion Bacterial translocation from the intestinal tract was likely source of Coagulase-negative Staphylococcal bacteremia in hospitalized preterm infants.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Background: Displaced femoral neck fractures (DFNF) are increasingly common in elderly patients. Repair of DFNF can be completed using two methods, hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip Arthroplasty (THA). However, there is much controversy regarding whether HA or THA is superior in active elderly patients over 75 years old. Methods: We conducted the literature search by searching PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Web of Science from the inception dates to June 1, 2019. Randomised controlled trials (RCT) were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Included studies were analysed according to Cochrane review methods. Results: Nine studies met the inclusion criteria totalling 631 participants (301 THA and 330 HA）. Four of the studies conducted were identical to a previous study but look at different follow up measures. The analysis of previously collected data revealed that the THA group had a lower erosion rate, higher total pain and function HHS, and higher EQ-5Dindex. The re-operation rate was significantly lower in the THA group after five years of follow up after adding the patients with painful symptoms to the group of patients revised. However, THA had longer operative time and a higher dislocation rate in the first three years compared to the HA procedure. Moreover, there was an insignificant difference in mortality rate, general complications, wound infection, duration of hospital stay, and VTE prevalence among the two procedures. Conclusions: THA may be a preferred management option for active elderly patients over 75 years old, after careful evaluation of patients’ general condition and tolerance of surgery. Strict management and follow up protocols should be followed to prevent dislocation within the first three years following a THA. Trial registration: This study was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42019139135). The date of registration is 16-06-2019.

Abstract
Background The necrosis- and ethylene-inducing peptide 1 (Nep1)-like proteins (NLPs) are a broadly distributed superfamily of protiens in plant-associated microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. NLPs are considered to be important virulence factors, and some have been well studied. However, the role of NLPs in Ustilaginoidea virens , the agent of rice false smut fungus, remains to be uncovered.Results A protein containing NLP-specific NPP1 domain was identified in U. virens and named UvNLP. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that UvNLP was a type 2 NLP, and real-time PCR revealed that UvNLP was highly expressed at 3 days post-inoculation. A yeast secretion assay demonstrated that UvNLP contained a functional signal peptide (SP). Furthermore, transient expression of UvNLP in Nicotiana benthamiana induced weak cell death, and replacement of the SP enhanced cell death. Real-time PCR indicated that UvNLP induced the expression of plant defence related genes.Conclusions We identified a secreted protein UvNLP in U. virens that was infection related and could induce plant cell death and defence responses. This study provided evidence that NLPs act as proteinaceous MAMPs, giving insight into the elucidation of the pathogenicity mechanism of U. virens. The UvNLP might be used as a potential plant defence inducer for disease control in practice.

Abstract
Background Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) can serve as a washing agent in the remediation of low-permeability layers contaminated by heavy metals (HMs). Therefore, batch adsorption experiments, where quartz sands (SM1) and mineral mixtures (SM2) were used as low-permeability soil minerals (SMs), were implemented to explore the effects of different EDTA concentrations, pH and exogenous chemicals on the HM-SM-EDTA adsorption system. Changes in microscopic characterizes of SMs were determined by instrument analysis to investigate the mechanisms.Results As the EDTA concentration increased gradually, it gradually cut down the maximum Cd adsorption capacities of SM1 and SM2 from approximately 135 to 55 mg/kg and 2,660 to 1,453 mg/kg; and the maximum Pb adsorption capacities of SM1 and SM2 were reduced from 660 to 306 mg/kg and 19,677 to 19,262 mg/kg, respectively. When the mole ratio (MR = moles of HM ions / sum of moles of HM ions and EDTA) was closer to 0.5, the effect of EDTA was more effective; and Freundlich isotherm model fitted better to the data. It took 5 to 10 min for EDTA to begin taking its effect. EDTA worked well at pH below 7.0 and 4.0 for Cd and Pb, respectively. Low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) affected the system mainly by bridging, complexation, adsorption site competition and reductive dissolution. Cu 2+ , Fe 2+ ions could greatly increase the Cd and Pb adsorption on SM2. There were feature changes in mineral particles including attachment of EDTA and microparticles, agglomeration, connection and smoother surfaces, making the specific surface area decrease from 16.73 to 12.59 m 2 /g.Conclusion All findings indicated that EDTA could effectively and economically reduce the HM adsorption capacity of SMs at the reasonable MR value, contact time and pH. The extent of the effects of LMWOAs and exogenous metal ions on the HM-SM-EDTA system depended on the synthesis of diverse effects and the selectivity of EDTA, respectively. EDTA reduced the HM adsorption capacity of SMs not only by complexation with HM ions, but also decreasing SSA and blocking active sites. Hence, the acquired insight from the presented study can help to promote the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater.
