Authors: Demianyshyna V. V. 
Published: December 2020

Annotation. This study is devoted to evaluation of clinical course of cystic fibrosis (CF) in children. The study involved 84 children who were diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. All participants were asked about complaints, life history, physical examination was made, and the results of objective testing and instrumental examination were assessed. The statistical system “IBM SPSS Statistics” version 12 (20) was used using parametric and non-parametric methods of descriptive statistics. Student's criterion was used to assess the significance of the difference between the independent samples, and the Fisher's factor was used for the percentage data. It was shown that 86.91% of subjects had severe or moderate course of CF. Major mutation of CFRT gene F508del/F508del was found in 45.2% children. Common complaints were productive cough (92.9%; р<0.01), failure to thrive (61.9%; р<0.01) and shortness of breath during exercise (40.5%; р<0.01). Results of bacteriologic test of sputum showed significant prevalence of St. aureus (54.0%; р<0.01) and Ps. aeruginosa (38.10%; р<0.01). Patients with severe course of CF had lower rates of FVC, FEV1, PEF, FEF 25%, FEF 50%, FEF 75% than children with moderate and mild course. At the age of 3 years, the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis was established in time by only 76.92% of respondents, which aims to further efforts to improve the quality of its diagnosis.

Published: December 2020

Annotation. Liver cirrhosis is characterized by an increase in morbidity and prevalence, life-threatening complications, disability and increased mortality of the working population. The aim of the study was to study the effect of albumin on the course of alcoholic liver cirrhosis in combination with obesity at the stage of decompensation. The study included 52 patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis in combination with obesity (confirmed before the onset of ascites) with the primary uncomplicated ascites of 2-3 degrees, 46 men and 6 women aged 35 to 59 years; 32 patients were diagnosed with class B and 20 – with class C according to the Child-Pugh score. Depending on the treatment, patients were divided into 2 groups: Group I included 26 patients who received in their combination therapy albumin 40.0 g/week for 2 weeks of inpatient treatment and 20.0 g/week for 12 weeks of outpatient treatment, followed by a maintenance dose of 20.0 g/month (10.0 g/2 weeks) for 12 weeks; 24 weeks after the start of treatment, 16 patients gave their consent and continued maintenance therapy for another 24 weeks. Group II included 26 patients who received basic therapy without albumin. Assessment of patients was performed before treatment, 12, 24, 48 weeks after treatment onset; in 96 weeks – according to medical documentation. Statistical processing of the results was performed using software Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and application package Statistica v. 12.0 StatSoft, USA. In patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis in combination with obesity, the inclusion in the complex therapy of long-term use of albumin improves the course of the disease according to the Child-Pugh score, MELD, DMF and CLIF-SOFA indices. There was a reduce the recurrence of ascites, the number of complications, a re-hospitalization within a year, an increase in the survival of patients within 48 months. No side effects of albumin were noted. Thus, long-term use of albumin in complex treatment of patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis in combination with obesity contributes to an increase in the effectiveness of treatment.

Published: December 2020

Annotation. Acute heart failure (AHF) is a major cause of death and/or reduced quality of life in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Purpose: to assess the dynamics of the prevalence of severe AHF (Killip III, Killip IV) in the patients with acute MI over a five-year period at specialized center for medical care for the patients with myocardial infarction. The study is a retrospective analysis of medical records of acute MI patients over 5 years. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using a software package in the system “Statistica 7.0” (Statsoft.Inc., USA). We used parametric methods (Student’s t-test), non-parametric statistics (Mann-Whitney U-test) and non-parametric Spearman correlation analysis. It is established that the prevalence of AHF in patients with acute MI averages 12.1 %. In the structure of AHF were prevalence of men over women however, in 2019 the ratio of men and women did not differ significantly. Predominant the patients older than 70 years. Mortality of AHF patients on the background of acute MI for a 5-year period is 40.8 %. There is a positive correlation of AHF with Q-MI (r=0.22, p=0.002), concomitant arterial hypertension (r=0.19, p=0.007), diabetes mellitus (r=0.18, p=0.011) and heart rates disorders (r=0.30, p<0.001). The inverse correlation was determined between AHF and hospitalization time more than 24 hours (r= -0.17, p=0.002) and non-Q MI (r= -0.19, p<0.001).

Published: December 2020

The article considers the results of the all-Ukrainian monitoring study on the implementation of NUS in the context of inclusive education for children with special educational needs in general secondary education on the example of primary school, which for the second year implements the New Ukrainian School Concept. We consider the organization of inclusive education in general secondary education institutions through the prism of educational indicators developed by the researchers. The developed indicators record the state of the organization of inclusive education in general secondary education institutions. We chose the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted by the United Nations in 2006, as the basis for the development of indicators. The educational indicators presented in the article cover two areas of organization of the educational process in accordance with the needs of children with special educational needs: indicators of the organization of the educational process and indicators of the organization of educational activities. For the first direction, for example, the following indicators are proposed: the number of teacher assistants per child with special educational needs, for the second direction – the teacher’s willingness to work in the classroom with children with special educational needs. We form the first group of indicators from statistical data obtained from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the second group – from statistical and analytical data collected during monitoring studies. The results of the monitoring study are considered in the context of the educational indicators we have presented, which will allow education authorities to obtain objective information on a given issue and to make informed management decisions to improve the organization of inclusive education for children with special educational needs. Thus, it was found that the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities have not yet been fully implemented in the educational process of general secondary education institutions. Both the provision of «smart accommodation» and quality education for children with special educational needs – these issues remain relevant and open today. And this in turn requires the organization of additional research on the organization of inclusive education in general secondary education institutions.

Published: December 2020

Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with increased incidence of hyperglycemia. Many studies have shown that diabetes is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery. We reviewed the outcome of on-pump versus off pump CABG in diabetic patients.
Methods- 80 Adult diabetic patients undergoing isolated CABG both on-pump and OPCAB were divided into 2 groups – 40 patients in each group. To evaluate both preoperative, perioperative and postoperative out come and to compare their in hospital outcome mortality and morbidity.
Results: Diabetic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass had fewer complications, including neurological dysfunction (7.5% vs. 10.0%, p=0.1), and reduced incidence of prolonged ventilation (7.5% vs. 12.5%, p = 0.709), atrial fibrillation (15.0% vs. 20.0%, p = 0.002), and renal dysfunction (10.0% vs. 17.5%, p=0.556). In postoperative period, 70% patients in OPCAB group did not experience any cardiac events whereas 30% patients developed myocardial infarction, 5% had cardiac arrest and 7.5% had low output syndrome. . In on pump group 65% patients had no cardiac events whereas 35% patients developed one or more cardiac events. Of them 20% patients developed atrial fibrillation, 2.5% developed myocardial infarction, 2.5% develop cardiac arrest and 10% had low output syndrome. 2.5% patient developed both atrial fibrillation and low output.
Conclusion: Diabetic patients undergoing CABG without cardiopulmonary bypass compared with those having coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass had higher mean predicted mortality and morbidity.

Published: December 2020

Background: Congenital anomalies make an important contribution to infant mortality and they remain a leading cause of death in many countries of the world. Many babies also died in our country due to congenital anomalies.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology of CMCH between October 2016 to March 2017. Objective of the study was to find out the risk factors of non-cardiac congenital anomaly of fetus. The study population of those women who delivered a baby with different non-cardiac congenital anomalies admitted in Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology of CMCH.
Results: The mean maternal age was found 26.6±5.6 years and the mean paternal age was found 35.8±7.9 years. 28 (28.0%) patients had hydrocephalus, 25 (25.0%) had Anencephaly, 7 (7.0%) had Omphalocele, 7 (7.0%) had Hydrops fetalis, 6 (6.0%) had cleft lip, 6 (6.0%) had cleft palate, 4 (4.0%) had cleft lip and cleft palate. 20 (20.0%) patients had consanguinity, history of high-grade fever with rash in first trimester was 12 (12.0%). 16(16.0%) was diabetes mellitus. Majority (63.0%) patients belonged to gestational age 16-28 weeks. The mean gestational age was found 29.5±7.1 weeks with ranged from 16 to 42 weeks. Majority (89.0%) were singleton pregnancy. 60% reveal congenital anomaly in USG.
Conclusion: Risk factors of non-cardiac congenital anomalies were consanguinity, maternal obesity, high grade fever with rash in first trimester due to viral infection, diabetes mellitus (uncontrolled), uncontrolled gestational diabetes mellitus, previous birth defect, inadequate intake of folic acid in first trimester, blood group Rh negative, male baby. Hydrocephalus and anencephaly were the most common congenital anomalies.

Economic Implications of Coronary Arterial Revascularization from Bangladesh Perspective
Authors: Rashmin Refaya , Hosain Nazmul 
Published: December 2020

Background: There has been a radical improvement lately both for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Bangladesh. Besides the clinical goals, the economic impact of these procedures is very important as well. Out of pocket spending is the major payment strategy for healthcare in Bangladesh. It is estimated that the poverty headcount increased by 3.5% due to out of pocket healthcare payments.
Methods: Data on patients’ expenditure for CABG and PCI in seven Bangladeshi hospitals were collected between 16th and 30th August, 2020. Several models were created, where the cost of CABG was compared with that of PCI in each of these hospital settings.
Results: In the two public hospitals CABG is much cheaper than PCI. However, in mid-level expensive hospitals the cost of PCI with 2 stents is comparable with that of CABG, but with 3 or more stents, PCI becomes more expensive. In the big corporate hospitals, CABG tends to be relatively more expensive. The basic treatment expenditure of a patient suffering from triple vessel ischemic heart diseases may range from Taka 50000 to Taka 415000.
Conclusion: In Bangladesh CABG is much cheaper than multi-stent PCI in the public and medium range private hospitals. CABG in corporate hospitals may be equal or even more expensive than PCI. IHD may contribute to national poverty as it may turn into a catastrophic health event for the patient’s family.

Authors: Chowdhury Naharuma Aive Hyder , Haq Tawfiq Shahriar , Mohammad Sharifuzzaman - 
Published: December 2020

Certain congenital heart defects require the creation of an unrestrictive atrial septal defect (ASD) secundum to achieve adequate atrial mixing to improve systemic oxygen saturation by placing septal stent. We reported a case of 7-month-old child who was presented with shock like state with marked desaturation. He was diagnosed as a case of mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous return with restricted closing ASD secundum. We performed atrial septal stenting as a palliative procedure for saving the life. Creation or enlargement of ASD in infants using nonconventional transcatheter techniques is feasible, safe, and effective when usual technique fails or not suitable. After the procedure systemic saturation improved and patient became hemodynamically stable and there after rerouting of pulmonary veins to left atrium with ASD closure and removal of stent done by open heart surgery and send him home safely.

Authors: Silva Alden Delunardo da , Nascimento Gabriel Xavier do , Quattrociocchi Daniel Garcez Santos , Martinazzo Ana Paula , Paes Lilian Weitzel Coelho 
Published: December 2020

A corrosão é um problema mundial que promove um grande impacto econômico, devido aos custos diretos e indiretos, afetando tanto países desenvolvidos quanto os países em desenvolvimento. Diversos métodos são usados na indústria com intuito de evitar e/ou reduzir a taxa de deterioração de materiais metálicos. Os inibidores de corrosão têm sido amplamente utilizados como agentes de tratamento. Inibidores de corrosão são adicionados a meios corrosivos para mitigar a deterioração do metal versus soluções às quais estão expostos; como é sabido, eles são compostos orgânicos contendo grupos polares, como átomos de nitrogênio em sua estrutura molecular, enxofre e/ou oxigênio; compostos heterocíclicos com grupos funcionais polares e ligações duplas. Para o aperfeiçoamento do processo anticorrosivo, novos materiais têm sido investigados experimentalmente e através de cálculos teóricos. O estudo do mecanismo de atuação dos inibidores de corrosão assim como os fatores que influenciam a eficiência de inibição tem sido o alvo de muitos trabalhos teóricos. Entre eles, destacam-se os estudos com baseados na a teoria do funcional da densidade (TFD). O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma breve revisão da utilização de cálculos teóricos, destacando o método da Teoria do Funcional de Densidade (TFD) como ferramenta na análise de propriedades das moléculas orgânicas com possíveis aplicações como inibidores de corrosão. Esta revisão apresenta as propriedades eletrônicas e índices de reatividade mais importantes relacionados à eficiência de inibidores de corrosão orgânicos, tais como: as energias dos orbitais de fronteira, diferença de energia (HOMO/LUMO), momento de dipolo, eletronegatividade, potencial químico, dureza, maciez, fração de elétrons transferidos, índice global de eletrofilicidade Além disso, descritores químicos quânticos locais, como carga, função de Fukui e suavidade, também foram explorados. Como conclusão, pode-se considerar que os cálculos DFT fornecem fortes evidências para complementar as investigações experimentais ou mesmo para prever com segurança algumas propriedades experimentalmente desconhecidas relacionadas aos inibidores de corrosão.
CHEATING ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT Cheating on Elementary or Primary School Students does not happen just now while it is hard for teachers and schools to overcome this behavior. It will make the child accustomed to being dishonest as long as they reach a high score and it is impactful until they are adults. This behavior is not fair to other students who have studied hard and been honest in completing exams and assignments from teachers at school. Cheating is an act or method that is dishonest, fraudulent, and justifies anything to get a high score in completing the task, especially on tests or exams. This article used literature revieuw in research methodology to explained situational factors, dispositional factors, personal factors, and external factors are the cause of cheating. Most of the time, cheating on students are replacing the answers in the exam after reading notes when the teacher out of the classroom, using notes or bring answers have been prepared, notice or demand answers from other students, and allow other students to view or copy his answers. The participation of parents, classroom teachers, school institutions, and improving self-awareness of students is needed so that cheating does not become a habit to reach a high score in the future. Keywords: cheating, elementary school , students Abstrak: Perilaku mencontek pada anak sekolah dasar bukanlah hal baru terjadi namun sangat sulit untuk ditanggulangi oleh guru dan sekolah. Perilaku ini akan membuat anak akan terbiasa menjadi pribadi yang tidak jujur dalam menginginkan suatu prestasi dan nilai yang tinggi dan akan berdampak hingga dewasa. Perilaku mencontek ini sangat merugikan siswa lain yang telah belajar dengan keras dan jujur dalam menyelesaikan ujian dan tugas-tugas yang diberikan oleh pendidik di sekolah. Perilaku mencontek adalah suatu perbuatan atau cara-cara yang tidak jujur, curang, dan menghalalkan segala cara yang dilakukan seseorang untuk mencapai nilai yang terbaik dalam menyelesaikan tugas terutama pada ulangan atau ujian. Faktor situasional, faktor disposisional, faktor personal dan faktor eksternal adalah faktor-faktor penyebab seorang anak melakukan perilaku mencontek. Bentuk perilaku mencontek pada siswa yang sering terjadi adalah mengganti jawaban saat ujian dengan menggunakan catatan ketika guru keluar dari kelas, menggunakan catatan atau membawa jawaban yang telah dipersiapkan, melihat atau meminta jawaban dari orang lain, dan mengizinkan seseorang melihat atau mengkopi jawabannya. Diperlukan peran serta orang tua, guru kelas, lembaga sekolah serta meningkatkan kesadaran diri para siswa agar perilaku mencontek tidak menjadi kebiasaan dalam menginginkan suatu prestasi yang tinggi di masa mendatang.
