Authors: Dronov O. I. , Kovalska I. O. , Gorlach A. I. , Bakunets Yu. P. , Shchyhel I. A. 
Published: September 2020

Objective. To establish the connection between lipemia and course of an acute pancreatitis.
Materials and methods. The investigation design: «case - control». There were incorporated 93 patients, suffering an acute pancreatitis. Group «case» - 11 patients with acute pancreatitis and lipemia, Group «control» - 82 patients with acute pancreatitis without lipemia. Interrelationship was investigated in accordance to the relative risk index between lipemia and the factors signs: the acute pancreatitis severity degree, recurrent course of the disease, presence of diabetes mellitus and alcoholic anamnesis.
Results. Comparative analysis of rate for the factors signs revealing have established, that possibility of development of severe acute pancreatitis and possibility of the alcohol-induced acute pancreatitis occurrence in groups of patients did not differ statistically meaningful (p > 0.05). While comparing a rate of the acute pancreatitis recurrence and the diabetes mellitus presence in groups of patients there were differences revealed on the significant level: p=0.02 and p=0.04 accordingly. Lipemia constitutes a risk factor for recurrent course of an acute pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus in patients with an acute pancreatitis: relative risk 7.5 (95% CI 1.8 - 26.6, p=0.02), RR 6.1 (95% CI 1.2 - 28.7, p= 0.02) accordingly.
Conclusion. Presence of lipemia did not impact the acute pancreatitis severity (p=0.98). Possibility of the acute pancreatitis recurrence in patients with lipemia in 7 times is higher, than in patients with an acute pancreatitis without lipemia (p=0.02). Possibility of diabetes mellitus presence in patients with an acute pancreatitis and lipemia is in 6 times higher, than in patients wihout lipemia (p= 0.02). Timely diagnosis and correction of a dislipoproteinemia constitutes a prophylactic measure, which is capable to lower the rate of an acute pancreatitis recurrence.

Objective. To analyze the possibilities and efficacy of application of the intervention sonography in complex surgical treatment of patients with bacterial hepatic abscesses.
Materials and methods. Results of treatment of 39 patients with hepatic abscesses in Department of Surgery № 3 through period from 2012 till June 2019 yr was presented. The patients were treated, using the puncture aspiration or drainage of abscesses under sonographic guidance. In hepatic abscesses with diameter up to 40 mm a puncture sanation was applied. In all the patients transcutaneous drainage was performed, not depending from the abscesses dimensions and localization.
Results. Treatment and application of the intervention sonography was effective in 37 (94.9%) patients. Postoperative complications have occurred in 4 (10.3%) patients: hemorrhage inside the abscess cavity (in 2), durable bile leakage via the drain (in 1), migration of the drain from the abscess cavity (in 1). Average stationary stay of the patients was (19,2 ± 1,6) bed-days.
Conclusion. Application of the puncture-draining procedures under sonographic control in treatment of patients, suffering hepatic abscesses constitutes a method of choice, what is caused by their small traumaticity, availability of dynamical control and efficacy in 94.9% patients. But these procedures owe some limitations, connected by the abscesses quantity, their localization, as well as complex configuration and big possibility of presence of large sequesters of necrotized hepatic parenchyma.

Published: September 2020

Introduction: Maxillary lateral incisor is a common congenitally missing tooth in the oral cavity. Maxillary lateral incisor is also the most common varying tooth in form than any other tooth. The objective of the study is to estimate the prevalence of congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors and peg laterals in patients receiving orthodontic treatment.
Materials & Method: This is a cross sectional retrospective study carried out among 204 orthodontic patients. Panoramic radiographs taken during the diagnostic procedure of orthodontic treatment was used to confirm the presence or absence of lateral incisors. The presence of peg laterals was determined by dental casts.
Result: Prevalence of missing maxillary lateral incisors and peg laterals was found 2.5% and 3.9% respectively. Prevalence of missing lateral in male was 5.7% while among female no missing laterals were observed. Prevalence of peg laterals in male and female was 1.1% and 6% respectively. Among the missing lateral incisors, prevalence of bilaterally missing lateral incisors was 60% while prevalence of both right and left unilateral missing laterals was 20%. Among the peg laterals, bilateral peg laterals were present in 50% patients, followed by left unilateral 37.5% and right unilateral 12.5% peg laterals.
Conclusion: The present study shows higher prevalence of peg laterals than missing lateral incisors. Prevalence of missing lateral incisors was higher in male and prevalence of peg laterals was higher in female. Prevalence of bilaterally missing laterals and bilateral peg laterals was higher than unilateral presentation.

Published: September 2020

Introduction: Orthodontists usually prescribe fluoridated mouthwash to their patients to mitigate risk of dental caries. These mouthwashes may alter the mechanical properties of archwires by dissolving the protective oxide-layer. The aim of the study was to examine the effects of fluoridated mouthwash on ultimate tensile strength of NiTi wires after three months of intra-oral use.
Materials & Method: Sixty 0.014” (0.36mm) Nickel-titanium (NiTi) wires (Ormco Corp, Glendora, USA) were divided into three groups: Group A: as-received archwires serving as controls, Group B: intra-oral used wires exposed to placebo mouthwash and Group C: intra-oral used wires exposed to fluoridated mouthwash for a period of 3 months. Each wire was subjected to tensile testing using a table-top tensile testing apparatus. Ultimate tensile strength data was analysed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey testing at the 0.05 level of significance.
Result: Results showed that amongst tested wires, those exposed to fluoridated mouthwash had least tensile strength (79.45 ± 1.33 N) as compared to wires exposed to placebo mouthwash (99.95 ± 0.91 N) and those in the control group (117.69 ± 0.66 N). The results were statistically significant at p <0.001.
Conclusion: Ultimate tensile strength was least for wires exposed to fluoridated mouthwashes for a period of 3 months. Non-fluoridated mouthwashes can be used during the initial phase of leveling and aligning with NiTi wires.

OBJECTIVECerebral ventriculitis remains one of the most challenging neurosurgical conditions, with poor outcome and a long course of treatment and duration of hospital stay. Despite the current conventional management plans, i.e., using antibiotics in addition to CSF drainage, the outcome remains unsatisfactory in some cases, with no definitive therapeutic guidelines. This study aims to compare the outcome of ventricular irrigation/lavage (endoscopic irrigation or the double-drain technique) to conventional currently accepted therapy using just drainage and antibiotics.METHODSThe authors conducted a prospective controlled study in 33 patients with cerebral ventriculitis in which most of the cases were complications of CSF shunt operations. Patients were divided into two groups. Removal of the ventricular catheter whenever present was performed in both groups. The first group was managed by ventricular lavage/irrigation, while the other group was managed using conventional therapy by inserting an external ventricular drain. Both systemic and intraventricular antibiotics were used in both groups. The outcomes were compared regarding mortality rate, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, and duration of hospital stay.RESULTSThe mean age of the study population was 5.98 ± 7.02 years. The mean follow-up duration was 7.6 ± 3.2 months in the conventional group and 5.7 ± 3.4 months in the lavage group. The mortality rate was 25% (4/16) in the lavage group and 52.9% (9/17) in the nonlavage group (p = 0.1). The mRS score was less than 3 (good outcome) in 68.8% (11/16) of the lavage group cases and in 23.5% (4/17) of the conventional group (p < 0.05). The mean hospital stay duration was 20.5 ± 14.2 days in the lavage group, whereas it was 39.7 ± 16.9 days in the conventional group (p < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSVentricular lavage or irrigation together with antibiotics is useful in the management of cerebral ventriculitis and associated with a better outcome and shorter hospital stay duration compared to current conventional lines of treatment.

OBJECTIVEThe object of this study was to analyze the prevalence of postoperative coronal imbalance (CIB) and related factors in patients with adult lumbar scoliosis.METHODSThis was a retrospective single-center study of data from patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) who had undergone corrective surgery performed by a single surgeon between 2009 and 2017. The inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) age at surgery > 40 years, 2) Cobb angles of the thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) curve > 40°, 3) upper instrumented vertebra of T9 or T10, 4) lowest instrumented vertebra of L5 or the pelvis, and 5) minimum 2-year follow-up period. Radiographic parameters were measured before surgery, 2 weeks after surgery, and at the latest follow-up. Curve flexibility was also assessed using side bending radiographs. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the 22-Item Scoliosis Research Society Outcomes Questionnaire (SRS-22) and the SF-36. CIB was considered to have occurred if the C7 plumbline was more than 2.5 cm lateral to the central sacral vertical line (i.e., coronal vertical axis [CVA] > 2.5 cm) at the final follow-up. Parameters between the patients with (CIB group) and without (coronal balance [CB] group) CIB were compared, and factors related to CIB were evaluated.RESULTSFrom among 66 consecutively treated ASD patients, a total of 37 patients (mean age at surgery 66.3 years, average follow-up 63 months) met the study inclusion criteria. CIB was found in 6 patients at the final follow-up (16.2%), and the CVA of all patients in the CIB group shifted to the convex side of the TL/L curve. A comparative analysis between the CB and CIB groups, respectively, at the final follow-up indicated the following factors were related to CIB: lumbosacral (LS) curve, 11.0°/16.5° (p = 0.02); LS correction rate (CR), 61%/47% (p = 0.02); and CR ratio (LS vs TL/L), 0.93/0.67 (p = 0.0002). Regarding clinical outcomes, the satisfaction domain of the SRS-22 (CB 4.4 vs CIB 3.5) showed a significant difference between the CIB and CB groups (p = 0.02), and patients in the CB group tended to score better on the pain domain (CB 4.3 vs CIB 3.7), but the difference was not significant (p = 0.06).CONCLUSIONSPostoperative CIB negatively impacted patients’ HRQOL. An imbalanced correction ratio between the TL/L and LS curves may cause postoperative CIB. Therefore, adequate correction of the LS curve may prevent postoperative CIB.

An egalitarian model of university-school partnerships starts with a theoretical frame of equity and social justice. This qualitative research study sought to understand high school students’ perception of community service through an intergenerational university-high school-elementary school partnership. Data analysis consisted of detailed notes collected from university faculty who oversaw the focus group discussions and two graduate assistants who took observational notes. These notes were analyzed and thematically organized. The findings indicate that the students enjoyed the experience and were highly motivated to complete and read their community themed book for the younger children in their community. This research contributes new knowledge to the field of community engagement and to the field of informal and formal education through its analysis of discussions on meaningful community service pertaining to university-school collaborative partnerships.
Campus Governance in U.S. Universities and Colleges
Authors: Laforge William N. 
Published: September 2020

The governance of universities and colleges in the United States basically follows the concept and spirit of democracy embraced by the nation from its birth. The systems and practices in place at most U.S. institutions of higher learning include collaborative, representative, or collective decision-making arrangements known as shared governance. However, these systems and practices are hardly uniform due to the diversity of governance patterns that reflect the unique and different history, needs, and mission of a particular institution. Sometimes they are differentiated from, and contrasted with, corporate, business, and more authoritarian or centralized forms of institutional governance.
In contrast with university governance elsewhere in the world—that can range from strong central government control to private self-regulated operations—the U.S. forms of campus governance have emerged in a country that does not have centralized authority over education. U.S. institutions of higher learning respond to a variety of controls and interests that are on display variously at public, private non-profit, private for-profit, and religious universities. Governance, authority, and administration are spread across a wide spectrum of players, including governing boards; presidents, chancellors, and other administrators; the academy/faculty; administrative staff; campus committees; students; and, even some external factors.
Shared governance is not a perfect formula or panacea for university administration and decision-making. It does, however, provide a methodology, system, and concept that can help guide the leadership of a university as it approaches the administration and conduct of its educational responsibilities. In today’s higher education environment, the term governance is rather expansive. In one sense, it means top-down governance that is the rightful role and authority of an institutional board charged with overseeing policy, programming, performance, and executive guidance and evaluation. But, it also variously means the use of institutional strategies, operations, and components to distribute, disseminate, and “share” authority and responsibilities for a university’s administrative, management, and decision-making functions, i.e., “on-campus governance.” In this respect, shared governance “borrows” many of the attributes and principles of democratic government. In any case, shared governance, in its many forms and applications, is widely practiced in U.S. universities, including Delta State University.
