Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has paralyzed the world, including elective health care services. To prevent the spread of infection, most countries have gone into lockdown and adjustments have been made to provide urgent medical care, including Orthopaedic services. In accordance with the guidelines from worst affected countries and neighboring India, Patan Hospital followed instructions from Ministry of Health and Population to provide only urgent and semi-urgent Orthopaedic services. This study aims to audit the patient profile during lockdown so as to have a clearer picture, which will enable us to be prepared for similar epidemic in the future.
Method: All patients admitted to the Orthopaedic ward of Patan hospital from 24 March to 27 April 2020, during the lockdown, were included. Clinical profile, including cause of admission, management, hospital stay were descriptively analyzed. Ethical approval was obtained.
Result: Out of 44 admissions, there were male 27 and female 17. Trauma cases were 38, and 18 were in age group 20-26 years. Admission due to infections were four. Conservative management were done in seven while 33 were treated surgically, out of which 30 accounted for trauma. Average 6.14 days hospital stay, range 1-22 days.
Conclusion: Trauma comprised of major bulk of patients seeking urgent Orthopaedic care. Hospital needs to be prepared with necessary measures to ensure safety of health care workers and yet provide urgent Orthopaedic services.

Published: May 2020

Introduction: Would infection following caesarean delivery adds physical, psychological, and health burden to individual and health care system. This hospital based study aim to determine the rate of infection, the risk factors, pathogens and antibiotic sensitivity.
Method: A prospective study was carried out to analyze the wound infection in women following caesarean delivery in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Patan Hospital, Nepal, between January 2018 to December 2018. The study was approved from the institutional review committee. Clinicodemographic data during perinatal period of caesarean delivery were descriptive analyzed in relation to wound infection.
Result: Wound infection occurred in 102 (3.1%)of 3285 caesarean section (of total 7131 deliveries during the study period. The caesarean SSI rate was 3.1%, all were incisional SSI (84 superficial and 18 deep) and there were no organ-space SSI. Majority (81.3%) SSI cases were detected in emergency LSCS. Coagulase Negative Staphylococci was the most common organism isolated from wound swab. Routine postoperative antibiotics did not have a major impact in reducing wound infection rate. Multiple per vaginal examinations, prolonged rupture of membrane and staples for skin closure were more commonly associated with SSI.
Conclusion: Reduction in caesarean rate is the major key factor for decreasing the post caesarean wound infection. Protocol should be developed and strictly implemented by all the health care professionals in order to minimize and prevent the infection rate after caesarean section.

Authors: Bhandari Jeetendra , Paudel Ujjawal 
Published: May 2020

Introduction: An abbreviation is a shortened form of word or phrase commonly used in medical practice for convenience. Misinterpretation of abbreviations can lead to confusion and medical errors. Studies have shown the use of abbreviations early as the first year in medical school.
Method: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey among undergraduate clinical year medical students in the tertiary care center of Kathmandu Valley was performed from December 2017 to April 2018.
Result: A total of 97 participants. The prevalence of abbreviation use was 95%. Senior students correctly interpreted both standard and non-standard abbreviations. The majority of students learned to use abbreviations from the medical officer’s note.
Conclusion: Students consider abbreviations are acceptable despite having difficulties in interpretation. Hospitals or concerned departments should regulate the use of standard abbreviations.

Authors: Burova L. , Korniychuk O. , Pavliy S. , Mazepa Y. 
Published: May 2020

Annotation. S. aureus is a leading cause of nosocomial infections in health care facilities. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of staphylococcal bacteriophage, phytopreparation “Chlorophyllipt”, of the drug “Protargol”, compared with antimicrobial chemotherapeutic drugs (ACD) against isolates of Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. Used clinical strains of S. aureus, isolated from 20 patients, aged 19 to 25 years. The susceptibility of microorganisms to ACD was determined on the MPA medium by disk-diffusion method. Staphylococcal bacteriophage sensitivity scores were evaluated by drainage lysis of bacterial indicator culture and negative phage colonies. Anti-staphylococcal activity of phytopreparation and protargol solution was determined by diffusion in agar with the isolates tested. Statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel 2013. In determining the susceptibility of S. aureus isolates to ACD, 30% of penicillin-sensitive strains were detected. Amoxicillin sensitivity was 25% of strains. The rate of detected sensitivity of microorganisms to amoxiclav was 45% of strains. Sensitivity to cephalosporins I-II generation amounted to 75% cephalexin, cefazolin, cefuroxime — 90%. For cephalosporins of the third generation — from 70% to 95%; to macrolides: to clarithromycin — 80%, to erythromycin, azithromycin — 50%, 55% respectively. High sensitivity was reported for lincomycin — 80%. The studied strains showed absolute sensitivity to amikacin (100%). 95% strains were sensitive to gentamicin. Not exceed 60–65% sensitivity to tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones. All bacterial isolates were sensitive to bacteriophage. High antimicrobial activity in up to chlorophyllipt was detected in up to 8 test strains. 19 strains have had low-sensitivity to protargol. The results obtained indicate the feasibility of bacteriophages in the medical practice and the continuation of microbiological studies with the study of antimicrobial activity of herbal drugs.

Annotation. The aim of the study was to identify the predominant microorganisms that caused health care associated infections in the intensive care unit (for surgical patients) National Military Medical Center “Main Military Clinical Hospital” in 2018. Identification of microorganisms was carried out in the laboratory department (microbiological), clinic of laboratory diagnostics the same hospital, which has national accreditation for work with microorganisms of the III – IV class of pathogenicity. The results of 631 bacteriological examinations were analyzed, namely 240 samples of blood from 88 patients, 269 urine samples from 77 patients, 97 samples of endotracheal content/sputum, obtained from 16 patients and another 25 samples from other anatomical sites (the bile ductus drains, pleural fluids) from 8 patients. Statistical processing was performed using Microsoft Excel 2016. The significance of the difference was checked by the method of χ2. The number of samples without growth was 206 (33 %). There were founded that the leading microorganism was K. pneumoniae 105 (25 %) isolates, followed by P. aeruginosa with 80 isolates (19 %), P. mirabilis 19 (4 %), E. coli 18 (4 %). The fraction of gram-positive bacteria was 31 % (118 isolates). There is a prominent difference among predominant microorganisms that caused health care associated infections corresponding to the anatomic site infection (p˂0.05). In blood cultures the K. pneumoniae (26 %) were leading microorganism, while P. aeruginosa (24 %) was found predominant in the respiratory tract, and Enterococcus spp (23 %) were the main isolates from the urine. Any isolates of A. baumannii were cultured. Formalizing the process of bacteriological observation, careful selection of patients for research and collection of epidemiological information featuring health care associated infections in the intensive care unit will systematize the process of infection control and allow to apply a quality control system.

Published: May 2020

The aim of the current study was to investigate the possible association of HOTAIR gene rs1899663 polymorphism with kidney cancer patients survival and clinicopathological characteristics of kidney cancer.
Methods. The whole venous blood of 101 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) (42 women and 59 men) was used in the study. Genotyping of rs1899663 HOTAIR gene polymorphic locus was performed by polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR-RFLP). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (version 17.0). The Kaplan-Meier test and the Cox regression were used to test the possible association between rs1899663 polymorphism of long non-coding RNA HOTAIR gene and the age of CCRCC onset. P values ​​< 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.
Results. The results of HOTAIR gene rs1899663 polymorphism genotyping showed that the ratio of GG-homozygotes, GT-heterozygotes and TT-homozygotes in CCRCC patients was 39.6%, 52.5%, and 7.9%, respectively. This distribution did not deviate from the expected by Hardy-Weinberg law (P = 0.143). Results of one-way ANOVA showed that rs1899663-locus of HOTAIR gene was not associated with tumor size of CCRCC patients (P > 0.05), was not related to body mass index, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fasting glucose, hemoglobin, creatinine and leukocyte amount in the blood of CCRCC patients (P > 0.05). In addition, the results of the Kaplan-Meyer test showed that life expectancy until the CCRCC occurrence does not depend on rs1899663 SNP (log-rank P = 0.739). At the same time, the results of Cox regression analysis both before and after adjusting for covariates (sex, body mass index, metastases, smoking habits and alcohol abuse) showed that CCRCC risk development with age does not depend on HOTAIR gene rs1899663 polymorphism (P > 0.05).
Conclusions. This is the first report about the possible link between HOTAIR gene polymorphism and survival of kidney cancer patients both in Ukraine and worldwide. The rs1899663 polymorphic site of HOTAIR gene is not associated with the age of CCRCC onset in the Ukrainian population. In addition, the rs1899663 SNP is also not related to tumor size and clinical фтв laboratory data in patients with kidney cancer.
Systemic chronic inflammation in end-stage renal disease patients and possible treatment approaches
Authors: Dudar I. 
Published: May 2020

Systemic chronic inflammation (SCI) is a common feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is most pronounced in dialysis patients. SCI is associated with cardiovascular pathology, various comorbid conditions and high mortality risk in dialysis patients.
The existing dialysis methods are ineffective for removing substances involved in SCI (medium molecular uremic toxins: cytokines, growth factors, adiponectin, hormones, and other substances).
The dialysis technology development has always aimed to create the membranes that will be as close as possible to the natural glomerular membrane.
Currently, Middle Cut-Off membranes have been created. The use of Middle Cut-Off membranes is implemented in a new method of dialysis therapy entitled expanded hemodialysis (HDx).
Further studies will determine the expected perspective of these membranes and HDx in the treatment of dialysis patients.
Odonata diversity in and around Vadodara, Gujarat, India
Authors: Sharma Pankaj , Kumar Dolly 
Published: May 2020

Investigation on the diversity of Odonates revealed a total of 38 species belonging to two suborders, six families, and 24 genera in and around Vadodara, in Gujarat, which included 15 species of Zygoptera (damselfly) and 23 species of Anisoptera (dragonfly). Out of the 38 species, 10 species are new records for the Vadodara. Most number of species was found in water reservoirs as compared to urban ponds and area around Mahi River. Furthermore, it was observed that areas around the rivers were adversely affected because of nearby sand mining. Amongst damselflies and dragonflies the population of damselflies was richer. Renovation of Urban ponds leads to decrease in their diversity due to loss of vegetation indicating anthropogenic pressure on species diversity.

In this contribution, we consider the problem of finding the minimal Euclidean distance between a given converging decreasing one-dimensional array X in (R+)∞ and arrays of the form A a = ( a , a , … , a ︸ , 0 , 0 , … a t i m e s ) , with a being a natural number. We find a complete, if not always unique, solution. Our contribution illustrates how a formalism derived in the context of research evaluation and informetrics can be used to solve a purely mathematical problem.

Authors: Gulidova Valentina Andreevna , Kravchenko Vladimir Alexandrovich , Zakharov Vyacheslav Leonidovich 
Published: May 2020

An important agronomic task in cultivating spring rape is improving the physical properties of leached black soil, which are extremely important for increasing its productivity. A central role in the physics of these soils is played by studying its density, which helps regulate the soil processes and maintain favorable conditions for spring rape. According to the studies, the highest productivity of spring rape is observed in the case of the arable layer density of 1.00 – 1.10 g/cm3. Moreover, in the case of soil density of 1.10 g/cm3, productivity is better by 5.6 – 8.5 % than in the case of 1.00 g/cm3. The number of seeds per pod has increased especially strongly (by 13.8 %). In the subsurface layer (30 – 40 cm), soil density of 1.10 – 1.20 g/cm3 is optimal for spring rape growth and development.

Published: May 2020

o processo de inclusão escolar aponta discursos e práticas divergentes no encontro entre políticas públicas e ações do cotidiano escolar. Para desvelar as bases desse desencontro, este trabalho objetivou conhecer e analisar as representações sociais que os professores auxiliares da rede municipal de ensino fundamental do município de Santos, SP, têm dos alunos com deficiência e seuprocesso de inclusão escolar. Nesse artigo apresentamos o material produzido por três professores auxiliares. Como procedimentos de coleta de dados foram utilizados o instrumento desenho estória e entrevistas semiestruturadas. A análise dos dados teve por base a teoria das representações sociais. A representação social apreendida por meio das entrevistas denota uma prática que ainda carrega resquícios da percepção do modelo biomédico, com atuação focada em determinado diagnóstico, sem vistas ao trabalho com promoção à acessibilidade e às estratégias de participação dos alunos em seu contexto de grupo e classe. Observou-se, também, o predomínio do pensamento do professor auxiliar detentor de conhecimentos específicos a respeito das deficiências, aproximando-o do professor de Atendimento Educacional Especializado e uma tendência à individualização do processo educacional. Com este estudo pretendeu-se ampliar a reflexão sobre as práticas do cotidiano escolar, contribuindo para qualidade de ensino.
O ensino religioso, a filosofia e a história da educação brasileira
Authors: Santos Danilo Nobre dos 
Published: May 2020

Pretendemos analisar o problema da disciplina Ensino Religioso em seus aspectos legais e curriculares na história da educação brasileira, mediante sua estruturação metodológica, bem como seus processos de constituição, identificação e interação de seus temas em diferentes contextos educacionais. Ao abordarmos este problema, identificamos interesses econômicos e políticos diversos e algumas vezes, desencontrados, opiniões dispersas, discussões e tendências, bem como julgamentos em relação a algumas práticas, além de certa falta de informação referente a esta temática e sua conceituação, no que se refere também à própria realidade e a necessidade dos educandos. Consideramos o aspecto legal e curricular do Ensino Religioso um assunto delicado e complexo, mas ao mesmo tempo, pertinente e de interesse para a compreensão da história da própria educação brasileira, fazendo-se necessário um aprofundamento adequado na legislação sobre ele, a fim de contribuirmos para um verdadeiro esclarecimento quanto a possíveis reducionismos que podem ocorrer em torno do estudo do fenômeno religioso, do discurso sobre Deus e da experiência cultural-religiosa de um povo. Deste modo, nosso intento assenta-se na observação dos vínculos existentes entre educação e doutrina religiosa e em que medida os conteúdos legais e curriculares adotados até o presente momento, considerando todas as reformas promovidas, contribuem, reforçam ou corrigem as disparidades que eventualmente podem ainda estar ocorrendo, com as novidades da Base Nacional Comum Curricular brasileira.

A música e formação humana na educação básica: os estudos de gênero e os direitos humanos das mulheres para a formação integral
Authors: Souza Ana Laura Bonini Rodrigues de , Gomes Mariane Dos Santos , Da Silva Vandei Pinto 
Published: May 2020

A Educação é estabelecida na Constituição Federal Brasileira como um Direito Fundamental, devendo ser incentivada para o desenvolvimento integral da pessoa humana (art.205, CF/88). Desta forma, embasadas pela Lei Máxima (CF/88) em conjunto com a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Brasileira (LDB, nº 9394/96) é direito das alunas e alunos, um ensino para além dos conteúdos obrigatórios curriculares, assim como, o saber da historicidade contida na luta das mulheres por seus direitos, patriarcado, cidadania, ou seja, questões envolventes de gênero, cultura e direitos humanos. Louro (2015) enfatiza a questão do gênero, perante uma sociedade que foi construída historicamente sob corpos sexuados, e, diante da conjuntura de extremo conservadorismo político-social brasileira (eleições presidenciais 2018), é notável a urgência dos estudos de gênero nas escolas para a desmistificação de conceitos falaciosos sobre o presente tema. Valorando a seriedade dos estudos de gênero com os aportes artísticos, enaltecendo a música, pretendemos com o presente artigo, mostrar a possibilidade da sensibilização para com a humanidade no processo Educativo, além da conscientização de que, para mudar a cultura social, é necessário ressaltar a importância do conhecimento para com o aprendizado histórico da sociedade em que vivemos. Em acordo com Lima e Akuri (2017) para o aprendizado, a criança precisa de motivação para agir, ou seja, possui a necessidade de sentir e se envolver, indo ao encontro da pedagogia histórico-crítica sistematizada por Demerval Saviani (2013) que inclui o aprendizado da criança com a realidade, desafiando pedagogas e pedagogos a aderirem a processos formativos mais humanos.

NATAÇÃO ADAPTADA: ANÁLISE DA FUNÇÃO PULMONAR DE PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA
Authors: DIAS Natalia Ferreira , JUNIOR Milton Vieira do Prado 
Published: May 2020

A prática de atividades aquáticas influencia beneficamente a respiração, já que os movimentos executados dentro de águatonificam o diafragma, permitindo uma melhora na ventilação pulmonar. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se o esforço na prática de atividade aquática altera significativamente as funções do sistema respiratório da pessoa com deficiência que participaram do projeto “Natação para pessoas com deficiência”. A amostra foi composta por 10 alunos que fazem parte do projeto “Natação para pessoas com deficiência”, praticando natação uma vez por semana durante uma hora. Para a coleta dos volumes e capacidades pulmonares foi utilizado um transdutor de fluxo aéreo e uma unidade de coleta de dados, marca Biopac conectados a um computador, onde os dados foram coletados e gravados para análise posterior. Após os testes, a análise dos dados foi através da média dos valores apresentados e também de maneira individual, verificando as alterações na função respiratória dos alunos, sem que houvesse comparação entre os participantes. As medidas mensuradas dos escores no pré e pós-esforço mostram que as variáveis VC, VRI, CE, FR e VP apresentaram resultados significativos e as demais variáveis CV, CI e VRE, embora tenham mostrado alterações, não foram estatisticamente significantes. Apesar da deficiência motora e/ou mental, a análise da função pulmonar mostrou-se eficaz nestes indivíduos. A ausência de valores de normalidade descritos na literatura para a população estudada pode ter subestimado os valores obtidos. Poucos foram os estudos encontrados que investigaram os benefícios da natação sobre o controle respiratório, analisando as variáveis respiratórias.
