Published: April 2020

Some aspects of reproductive biology of the mudskipper Apocryptes bato (Hamilton 1822) from the coastal waters of Chittagong, Bangladesh was conducted. Disproportionate occurrence of male and female (1.20 : 1) was observed in the number of two sexes. A prolonged spawning season was found from June to early October with a single peak. The aspects in the ovary indicate one complete spawning of females in a single spawning season. The fecundity was found to vary from 7453 - 31195 with an average of 17590 ± 6867. Significant coefficient of correlation between the diameters of the eggs of corresponding anterior, middle and posterior regions of the right and left ovaries indicated the simultaneous release of eggs from both the ovaries. A much closer relationship of fecundity and the significant ‘t’ values indicated fecundity increases with the increase of total length, standard length, body weight and gonad weight.

Authors: Sklar Michael , Eskander Antoine , Dore Kelly , Witterick Ian 
Published: April 2020

Background: The traditional, panel style interview and the multiple mini interview (MMI) are two options to use in the selection of medical trainees with each interview format having inherent advantages and disadvantages. Our aim was to compare the traditional and MMI on the same cohort of postgraduate applicants to the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Toronto.Method: Twenty-seven applicants from the 2010 Canadian Residency Matching Service selected for interview at the University of Toronto, Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery were included in the study. Each applicant participated in both a traditional interview and MMI.Results: Traditional interviews marked out of a total maximum score of 570. On the traditional interview, scores ranged from 397-543.5 (69.6 - 95.3%), the mean was 460.2. The MMI maximum score was out of 180. MMI scores ranged from 93 – 146 (51.7 - 81.1%) with a mean of 114.8. Traditional interview total scores were plotted against MMI total scores. Scores correlated reasonably well, Pearson Correlation = 0.315 and is statistically significant at p = 0.001. Inter-interview reliability for the two interview methods was 0.038, with poor overall agreement 0.07%.Conclusions: MMI and traditional interview scores are correlated but do not reliably lead to the same rank order. We have demonstrated that these two interview formats measure different characteristics. One format may also be less reliable leading to greater variation in final rank. Further validation research is certainly required.Key Words: Multiple mini interview; medical education; traditional interview; postgraduate admissions
Residents’ perceptions of an integrated longitudinal curriculum: a qualitative study
Authors: Lubitz Rebecca , Lee Joseph , Hillier Loretta 
Published: April 2020

Background: The purpose of this study was to explore family medicine residents’ perceptions of a newly restructured integrated longitudinal curriculum.Method: A purposeful sample of 16 family medicine residents participated in focus group interviews conducted from a grounded theory perspective to identify the characteristics of this training model that contribute to and that challenge learning.Results: Eight key themes were identified: continuity of care, relevance to family medicine, autonomy, program-focused preparation, professional development as facilitated by role modeling, patient volume, clarity of expectations for learners, and logistics. Positive learning experiences were marked by high levels of autonomy, continuity, and relevance to family medicine. Less favorable learning experiences were characterized by limited opportunities for continuity of care, limited relevance to family medicine practice and unclear expectations for the resident’s role. Family physician-led learning experiences contributed to residents’ understanding of the full scope of family medicine practice, more so than specialist-led experiences. The logistics of implementing the integrated block were challenging and negatively impacted continuity and learning.Conclusions: This study suggests that an integrated longitudinalized family medicine block training model has the potential to support the principles of a longitudinal integrated competency-based curriculum to effectively prepare residents for family medicine practice.

Оценки точности подводной навигации на основе данных гравиметрических измерений с борта автономного подводного робота непосредственно связаны с вопросами картографирования аномалий поля силы тяжести (АСТ) с помощью высокоточных малоразмерных гравиметров. В работе продолжены исследования, направленные на повышение точности навигации по карте АСТ с возможностью реализации алгоритмов навигационной коррекции в реальном времени. Для решения задачи исследован новый метод оценки ошибок корреляционно-экстремальной навигации, основанный на анализе отношения главного и бокового пиков корреляционного функционала. Особенность предлагаемого метода, в отличие от известного байесовского подхода, заключается в возможности его использования при реализации бортовых алгоритмов, а также и при предварительной оценке информативности карты поля для планирования маршрутов. Результаты вычислительных экспериментов показывают, что при определенных условиях исследуемая оценка близка к расчетной байесовской оценке.The accuracy assessment of underwater navigationbased on gravimetric measurements, acquired from theautonomous underwater vehicle, is directly related to issuesof mapping the local gravitational field (LGF) usinghigh-precision small-sized gravimeters. The paper presentsresearch aimed to improve the accuracy of navigation usingthe map of LGF, which is suitable for the implementationof algorithms of real-time navigation correction. Addressedto this problem, the new method based on the analysis ofthe sidelobe level of the matching function was studied forestimating the error of correlation-extreme navigation. Thefeature of the proposed method, in contrast with the wellknownBayesian approach, lies in the opportunity of its implementationin onboard algorithms and utilization for thepreliminary assessment of informational content of the fieldmap for route planning. The results of computational experimentsshow that under certain conditions, the studiedestimates are near the calculated Bayesian estimate.

Prognostic Accuracy of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II Scores in Critically Ill Cancer Patients
Authors: Chang Lilu , Horng Cheng-Fang , Huang Yuh-Chin T. , Hsieh Yen-Yau 
Published: April 2020

• BackgroundThe predictive accuracy of scores on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) for in-hospital mortality among critically ill cancer patients varies.
• ObjectiveTo evaluate the predictive accuracy of APACHE II scores for severity of illness in critically ill cancer patients and to find clinical indicators to improve the accuracy.
• MethodsActual hospital mortality rates were compared with predicted rates. Data were collected prospectively from 1263 cancer patients admitted to the intensive care unit during a 5-year period in a cancer center in Taiwan. The APACHE II score for each patient was calculated at admission. Stepwise logistic regression was used to identify clinical predictors associated with increased mortality.
• ResultsThe scores ranged from 2 to 54. The mortality rates were 19% overall, 45% for medical patients, and 1% for surgical patients. The fit of the scores was good for the medical patients (Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic 8.2, P = .41). The estimated odds ratios for mortality of presence of metastasis and respiratory failure were 4.18 (95% CI 2.65–6.59) and 2.03 (95% CI 1.22–3.38), respectively. When metastasis and respiratory failure were incorporated into the APACHE II model, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for medical patients increased from 0.82 to 0.86. The fit of the modified model was excellent (Hosmer and Lemeshow statistic 6.57, P=.58).
• ConclusionsAPACHE II scores are predictive of hospital mortality in critically ill cancer patients. The presence of metastasis and respiratory failure at admission are also associated with outcome.

Published: April 2020

• Background In the medical intensive care unit at the University of Virginia Health System, capnography is used to detect end-tidal carbon dioxide to protect patients from inadvertent airway cannulation during placement of gastric tubes.
• Objectives To compare the method in which capnography is used with a method in which a colorimetric carbon dioxide detector is used and to determine what variables affect accurate placement of gastric tubes.
• Methods A prospective convenience sample of 195 gastric tube insertions was studied in 130 adult patients in a medical intensive care unit. Standard insertions of gastric tubes (done with capnography) were simultaneously monitored by using a disposable colorimetric device, with a color change indicating the presence of carbon dioxide.
• ResultsInsertion variables included tube type (60% Salem sump tubes, 40% soft-bore feeding tubes), route of insertion (71% oral, 29% nasal), mechanical ventilation (81%), and decreased mental status (72%). Carbon dioxide was successfully detected with the colorimetric indicator (within seconds) in all insertions in which carbon dioxide was detected by capnography. When carbon dioxide was detected (27% of insertions), the tubes were withdrawn and reinserted. Carbon dioxide detection during tube placement was significantly associated with nasal insertions (P = .03) and spontaneously breathing/nonintubated status (P=.01) but not with mental status or tube type.
• Conclusions A colorimetric device is as accurate as capnography for detecting carbon dioxide during placement of gastric tubes.

Published: April 2020

• Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and may be influenced by oral health.
• Objective To describe the relationship between ventilator-associated pneumonia and oral health status, changes in oral health status during the first 7 days after intubation, and microbial colonization of the oropharynx and trachea.
• Methods A total of 66 patients were enrolled within 24 hours of intubation and were followed up for up to 7 days. Data on oral health measures and the Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) were collected at baseline, day 4 (n = 37), and day 7 (n = 21). A regression model was used to predict risk of pneumonia at day 4.
• ResultsDental plaque and oral organisms increased over time. Correlations were significant for baseline and day 4 dental plaque (P &lt; .001), baseline salivary lactoferrin and day 4 plaque (P = .01), and lower salivary volume and higher day 4 CPIS (P = .02). Potential pathogens were identified in oral cultures for 6 patients before or at the same time as the appearance of the organisms in tracheal aspirates. Correlations were significant with day 4 CPIS for score on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II (P = .007), day 4 salivary volume (P = .02), interaction of APACHE II score and day 1 CPIS (P&lt;.001), and interaction of day 1 CPIS and plaque (P=.01).
• Conclusions Higher dental plaque scores confer greater risk for ventilator-associated pneumonia, particularly for patients with greater severity of illness. Salivary volume and lactoferrin may affect the risk.

Published: April 2020

• Background Increased anxiety correlates with increased complications after acute myocardial infarction. Anxiety levels and use of anxiolytic agents have not been compared between smokers and nonsmokers hospitalized because of acute myocardial infarction.
• Objectives To compare anxiety level, sociodemographic factors, and clinical variables between smokers and nonsmokers hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction and to examine predictors of use of β-blockers and anxiolytic agents among smokers and nonsmokers.
• Methods Secondary data analysis of a prospective multisite study on anxiety in 181 smokers and 351 nonsmokers with acute myocardial infarction. Anxiety was measured by using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory and the anxiety subscale of the Basic Symptom Inventory within 72 hours of admission.
• Results Smokers reported higher anxiety levels than nonsmokers reported on both anxiety scales. Female smokers reported the highest anxiety and peak pain levels of all, yet women were the least likely to receive anxiolytic agents. Smoking status was not a predictor for anxiety level when sex, peak pain, use of β-blockers in the hospital, and age were controlled for. However, smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to receive an anxiolytic agent and 60% more likely to receive a β-blocker in the emergency department, and smokers were 80% more likely than nonsmokers to receive an anxiolytic agent during hospitalization when these variables were controlled.
• Conclusions Older female smokers are at risk for complications because they are older than their male counterparts and less likely to receive β-blockers and antianxiety medications in the emergency department.
“Quem tem... barriga tem medo”: imagens de capoeiras na imprensa ilustrada da corte
Authors: Balaban Marcelo 
Published: April 2020

<p>A capoeira foi uma atividade que assombrou mentes e corações de pessoas de boa condição social no Rio de Janeiro ao longo do século XIX. Seus praticantes, da mesma forma, causaram sérios problemas e impuseram todo tipo de dilema para as autoridades imperiais. Este artigo analisa imagens de capoeiras publicadas na imprensa ilustrada da corte na década final da escravidão no Brasil. Defende o argumento de serem tais imagens uma preciosa fonte para estudar tanto os pontos de vistas dos autores das caricaturas, como os dos personagens – em particular negros, pardos, mulatos de condições variadas − das estampas publicadas naqueles semanários. Presta especial atenção a uma repetição: os capoeiras, supostamente, atacavam as barrigas dos burgueses. Ao tentar explicar essa repetição, e a escolha desse peculiar alvo, investiga algumas das tensões sociorraciais que estiveram no centro dos debates e embates políticos que marcaram, e integraram, o processo que culminou com a abolição da escravidão no Brasil. </p>
Evaluation of the endometrial cavity during menopause

Published: July 2002

AbstractObjective: To compare transvaginal sonography (TVS), hysteroscopy and suction curettage in the evaluation of uterine bleeding during the menopause. Methods: Forty‐seven patients who presented with either postmenopausal bleeding (31 cases) or sonographic endometrial abnormalities at menopause (16 cases) were evaluated using TVS, hysteroscopy, and curettage with a Karman curette. Results: When endometrial thickness measured by TVS was <4 mm, there was no endometrial pathology. However TVS could not differentiate accurately between hyperplasia, polyps or endometrial carcinoma. In these cases, endometrial thickness was invariably greater than 5 mm. Conclusion: Hysteroscopy proved superior to curettage in the diagnosis of endometrial polyps.
The impact of therapeutic relatives’ groups on the course of illness of schizophrenic patients

Published: July 2002

SummaryThis study considers the question of whether relapse rates among schizophrenic patients can be reduced by means of relatives' groups. In a randomized, controlled intervention study, two therapeutic strategies (therapeutic relatives' groups, initiated relatives' self-help groups) were compared with each other and with a control group. Interventions were confined to the relatives, with the patients continuing their standard treatment. The study involved 151 relatives of 99 chronic DSMIII schizophrenics. Data were collected before and after a 1-year intervention phase and in a 2-year follow-up. No difference existed between the groups with respect to rehospitalization data. However, numerous differences recorded in the psychopathological findings and in living and working circumstances suggest that therapeutic work with relatives is of clinically significant benefit.
