Authors: Popovich Ya. M. , Rusin V. V. 
Published: July 2020

Summary. Despite a satisfactory number of research which dedicated on coagulogram changes in patients with DVT, they are rarely used in clinical practice for the diagnosis of thrombosis, more often for the correction of anticoagulant therapy.
The aim of research. Estimate the changes of coagulogram indices in patients with deep vein thrombosis, depending on the type of treatment performed.
Materials and methods. Has been performed the quantitative estimation of coagulogram indices in 721 patients with deep vein thrombosis. Depending on the treatment method, the patients were divided into two groups: І – 382 (53 %) patients, which performed the surgical treatment with the following prescription the anticoagulant therapy; ІІ – 339 (47 %) patients, which performed only the anticoagulant therapy.
Results. Has been observed more expression of hypocoagulation in patients of I group for the essesment the most of the coagulogram indices: the level of D-dimer was 14.1 % lower than in II group, the average concentration of thrombocyte was 7.8 %, the prothrombin index was 7.1 %, the international normalized ratio by 3.8 %, the level of hematocrit by 2.4 %, platelet count by 1.9 % lower than in patients ІІ group. More expression the prolongation of activated thromboplastin time, activated recalcification time and prothrombin time for 37.9 %, 10.6 % and 4.8 %, respectively, was observed in I group compared with the patients II group. At the same time, the level of fibrinogen in the I group was 9.1 % higher compared with the patients II group.
Conclusions. Hypocoagulation changes of haemostasis in patients which performed the surgical treatment for deep vein thrombosis, compared to patients with isolated anticoagulant therapy, suggest that mechanical removal of thrombotic masses promotes faster normalization of indices hemostasis.

Published: July 2020

Smmary. The aim of the work was to solve the problem of preventing and choosing the method of surgical treatment of paracolostomy hernia in patients with obesity.
Materials and research methods. The treatment results of 56 (100.0 %) patients with obesity operated on for paracolostomy hernia were analyzed. Men made up 27 (56.2 %) people, women - 29 (29.0 %). In all patients of this age category, except for obesity, there was a combined concomitant pathology: atherosclerotic and post-infarction cardiosclerosis — in 56 (100.0 %) cases; COPD - in 42 (69.6 %); diabetes mellitus — in 18 (26.1 %); cerebrosclerosis — in 17 (24.6 %). Surgical treatment of paracolostomy hernias was performed by 3 methods: alloernioplasty with colostomy left in the same place was performed in 16 (29.0 %) patients; allohernioplasty with colostomy moving to a new place — 22 (52.2 %) patients; 18 (18.2 %) used minimally invasive methods, of which 8 (11.6 %) using the laparoscopically-assisted method. The average duration of laparoscopic hernioplasty was (65.5 ± 5.5) minutes., With «open» methods — (45.5 ± 5.5) minutes
Research results. The analysis of the results of treatment of paracolostomy hernias with three different methods was carried out; the groups were identical in terms of the number of patients. According to the duration of the operation, the laparoscopic method of alloernioplasty was longer and needed the use of general anesthesia and pneumoperitoneum, which can cause the development of a number of dangerous complications. The other two extraperitoneal methods of allogeneioplasty are more gentle, can be performed under spinal or epidural anesthesia. However, it is precisely with these methods of alogioplasty that the risk of developing local complications is high.
Conclusions. In the treatment of paracolonostomy hernias in patients with obesity, the best results were obtained with laparoscopic alloernioplasty. When withdrawing a colostomy in patients of advanced and senile age, preventive alloprosthetics are recommended.

Summary. The purpose of our research was to explore the appropriateness of combined usage of enterosorption amplification and intratissular electrophoresis (ITE) of antibiotics in cases of substantial thermal burns. The effect of intratissular electrophoresis (ITE) of antibacterial drugs and enterosorption was studied in 22 patients with dermal thermal burns from 28 to 54 % of their body surface. ITE of antibiotics started from the 3–4 day applying the direct current with density 0,03-0,05 mAh/cm² for 60 min. by the «POTOK-1» device.
The authors determined the intoxication degree based on the leukocyte index, the number of average mass molecules and blood plasma electrical conductivity. Also, they observed the course of wound process, conducted bacteriological and cytological researches of the burn wounds in dynamics on 1–3, 6–7, 13–14 and 19–21 days of the burn disease progress. It was found that enterosorption usage in the comprehensive treatment of burn disease allows not only to reduce the level of endogenous intoxication but also to provide an indirect optimizing impact on the progressing of the wound process in the zone of thermal damage, stimulate the reparative regeneration. In the cases with extensive burns, combined usage of the enterosorption detoxification by Enterosgel with the ITE of antibacterial drugs contribute more qualitative positive influence on the wound process and burn disease in general.

Published: July 2020

Summary. The aim of the study was to study the effect of clinical and morphological factors on diagnosis and onset of disease recurrence.
Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, we formed a sample of postoperative samples of ovarian tumor tissue, which were divided into 3 groups: comparison group — ovarian cancer (T1-3N0M0, T1-3N0M1) (РЯ n = 261) main group 1 — borderline ovarian tumor (T1-3N0M0) (singing n = 100); the main group 2 — benign tumors of the ovaries (DOYA n = 40). The age of patients ranged from 23 to 62 years. Of these, 50 % were women of childbearing age — from 23 to 36 years (n = 26). The comparison group included 46 patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer aged 35 to 78 years. Among them, the age group from 30 to 40 years old was 14 % (n = 6). Most of the observations — 56 % (n = 24) — occurred in patients aged 40-60 years. Women over 60 made up 30 % (n = 14).
Results and discussion. Ovarian cancer in the structure of the female genital organs malignancy is characterized by an ambiguous forecast and the highest mortality rate. The leading factors determining this phenomenon are the features of tumor metastasis. Metastasis of ovarian cancer occurs at the early stages of the disease and runs a variety of ways: contact, intraperitoneal, haemacirculatory and through the lymphatic system. Such features are determined by the topography of metastatic disease, anatomy, blood supply and lymphatic channel of the female reproductive gland. The greater omentum plays the barrier role in the development of the pathological process of the abdomen. At present poor prognosis and poor treatment outcomes require reviewing approaches to the surgical treatment of ovarian cancer. In this connection defining the features of ovarian cancer metastasis provides an opportunity to find new ways to disable malignant cells distribution.
Conclusions. A key role in the treatment of ovarian cancer has surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Adequate staging is important in choosing treatment tactics and assessing the prevalence of the disease. The importance of genetic and molecular studies is growing, according to the results of which it is possible to predict an increased risk of developing OC, to individualize and adjust treatment regimens.

Published: July 2020

Objective.Being overweight or obese increases rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk among women, particularly among those diagnosed at a younger age. Abdominal obesity may contribute to systemic inflammation more than general obesity; thus, we investigated whether abdominal obesity, compared to general obesity, predicted RA risk in 2 prospective cohorts: the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) and NHS II.Methods.We followed 50,682 women (1986–2014) in NHS and 47,597 women (1993–2015) in NHS II, without RA at baseline. Waist circumference (WC), BMI, health outcomes, and covariate data were collected through biennial questionnaires. Incident RA cases and serologic status were identified by chart review. We examined the associations of WC and BMI with RA risk using time-varying Cox proportional hazards models. We repeated analyses restricted to age ≤ 55 years.Results.During 28 years of follow-up, we identified 844 incident RA cases (527 NHS, 317 NHS II). Women with WC > 88 cm (35 in) had increased RA risk (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.06–1.41). A similar association was observed for seropositive RA, which was stronger among young and middle-aged women. Further adjustment for BMI attenuated the association to null. In contrast, BMI was associated with RA (HRBMI ≥ 30 vs < 25 1.33, 95% CI 1.05–1.68) and seropositive RA, even after adjusting for WC, and, as in WC analyses, this association was stronger among young and middle-aged women.Conclusion.Abdominal obesity was associated with increased RA risk, particularly for seropositive RA, among young and middle-aged women; however, it did not independently contribute to RA risk beyond general obesity.
Does Invasive Common Reed in Coastal Salt Marshes Affect Dabbling Duck Food Availability?
Authors: Van Neste Kristen M. , Williams Christopher K. , Castelli Paul M. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractCommon reed, Phragmites australis, a nonnative perennial grass, is considered a nuisance species to land managers and wildlife biologists. Common reed thrives in areas with reduced soil salinities, increased nitrogen availability, and anthropogenic shoreline development. The expansion of nonnative common reed into tidal wetlands of North America detrimentally affects native wildlife by altering resource utilization, modifying trophic structures, and changing disturbance regimes. Thus, it also has the potential to drastically affect dabbling duck (Family Anatidae, SubFamily Anatinae, Tribe Anatini) energetic carrying capacity in salt marsh ecosystems. We assessed whether invaded monocultures of common reed in dabbling duck habitat could alter the availability of invertebrate and seed foods for the mallard Anas platyrhynchos, American black duck Anas rubripes, green-winged teal Anas crecca, northern shoveler Spatula clypeata, and northern pintail Anas acuta as compared with wetland type (mudflat, low marsh, high marsh, and impoundments). We compared food and energy availability in &gt; 90% common reed monocultures with noncommon reed-invaded salt marshes in five study areas in Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, New Jersey, 2015–2016. To estimate wetland-specific food energy supply, we collected sediment core samples, fixed them with formalin, and washed, dried, sorted, and weighed them for seeds and invertebrates. We multiplied biomass (g) by true metabolizable energy values to estimate species-specific dabbling duck food energy availability. We further estimated wetland-specific energetic carrying capacity (duck energy days) on the basis of known species-specific energetic demands. We determined that duck energy days/ha were greater for dabbling ducks in wetlands invaded with common reed because they contained more consumable seed energy and less consumable invertebrate energy. However, future research should explore how accessible these foods are when common reed grass is dense. To aid in restoration efforts once common reed is removed by control efforts, our results indicate that a robust seed bank exists in the soil strata, thus increasing salt-marsh seed biodiversity.

Published: July 2020

Background
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, New York State mandated that all hospitals double the capacity of their adult intensive care units In this facility, resources were mobilized to increase from 104 to 283 beds.

Objective
To create and implement a 3-hour curriculum to prepare several hundred non–critical care staff nurses to manage critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019.

Methods
Critical care nursing leaders and staff developed and implemented a flexible critical care nursing curriculum tailored to the diverse experience, expertise, and learning needs of non–critical care nursing staff who were being redeployed to critical care units during the surge response to the pandemic. Curricular elements included respiratory failure and ventilator management, shock and hemodynamics, pharmacotherapy for critical illnesses, and renal replacement therapy. A skills station allowed hands-on practice with common critical care equipment.

Results
A total of 413 nurses completed training within 10 days. As of June 2020, 151 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 still required mechanical ventilation at our institution, and 7 of 10 temporary intensive care units remained operational. Thus most of the nurses who received this training continued to practice critical care. A unique feature of this curriculum was the tailored instruction, adapted to learners’ needs, which improved the efficiency of content delivery.

Conclusions
Program evaluation is ongoing. As recovery and restoration proceed and normal operations resume, detailed feedback from program participants and patient care managers will help the institution maintain high operational readiness should a second wave of critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 be admitted.
Realities of participatory community-based environmental rehabilitation projects: a case study of soil erosion countermeasures in western Kenya
Authors: Yamane Yuko 
Published: July 2020

This study attempts to describe the realities of participatory development projects in western Kenya, where severe soil degradation has occurred, using participatory observation methods. Six aid organizations administered development projects for environmental rehabilitation in the area; however, less than 10% of study area residents participated in project activities. This article argues that this lack of participation was fuelled by a disjuncture of understanding between aid organizations, community-based development organizations, and area residents about project purposes and goals. It suggests that in order for participatory development projects to be successful all stakeholders must understand and take ownership of the project. People who the aid organization called “community” often turned out to be a collection of unconnected people. In addition, not everyone who was involved participated out of a desire to stop soil erosion. Many people were not directly impacted by the gullies and their motivation for participation was purely for economic reasons. Thus, growing seedlings and planting them was seen more as a source of income than as a way to repair and restore the local environment. Such motivations need to be considered when creating participatory development projectsKeywords: participatory development, community development, environmental rehabilitation, Luo, Kenya

Published: July 2020

Silicate is an important nutrient element for rice plants. Rice is a plant that absorbs Si in large quantities. The low Si content in paddy fields is caused by intensive rice cultivation practices. Ash husk rice and bamboo leaves are materials that have a high silicate content so that the addition of husk ash and bamboo leaves can increase the availability of Si in nature. This research used Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), the factor that was tested were Factor I (source of Si : S1, S2) and Factor II (Dosage: D0, D1, D2, D3, D4). The results showed there is significant difference on the available Si, Si uptakeorganic matter, total number tiller, weight of 1000 grains. The application of Rice ask hush dose 10 Mg ha-1 (S1D4) can increase available Si, Uptake Si, Organic Matter, total number tiller and weight of 1000 grains than the appliacation of bamboo leaf.

Authors: Syafrullah Syafrullah 
Published: July 2020

To achieve food-self sufficiency in Indonesia, it is necessary to apply sustainable agriculture practices to improve soil quality. Most of paddy fields have been applied with chemical fertilizers intensively for more than 40 years without the addition of organic matter. The purpose of this study was to understand the effects of lignite-based organic fertilizer application on the quality of paddy soil and yield of rice. The study was conducted in April until August 2014 in the irrigated rice fields in Belitang, Ogan Komering Ulu Timur District. The study was arranged in a Factorial Randomized Block Design, with 9 treatment combinations and 3 replicates. The first factor was the types of fertilizers, consisting of recommended chemical fertilizers (250 kg urea ha-1 + 150 kg SP36 ha-1 + 50 kg KCl ha-1), organic fertilizer from plant residue at 5 Mg ha-1, and lignite-based organic fertilizer (namely Baranik fertilizer) at 0.75 Mg ha-1. The second factor was rice varieties, consisting of Mentik Wangi, Gogo Aromatik and Ciliwung. The application of Baranik fertilizer at 0.75 Mg ha-1 has improved the quality of paddy soil with the increase of organic-C content from 1.44% to 2.90%. Application of Baranik fertilizer at 0.75 Mg ha-1 has increased the vegetative components and the yield of rice about 7.17 Mg ha-1 compared to the organic fertilizer from plant residue, but the yield is still the same as that in the recomended dosages of chemical fertilizers. Among the rice varieties, the yield of Ciliwung variety was higher than other varieties, i.e. 7.62 Mg ha-1. The yield of Gogo Aromatik variety is significantly lower than that of Ciliwung variety. Baranik organic fertilizer can be used to improve soil fertility for food security purpose.

Authors: Naso Julia R. , Yang Hui-Min , Schaeffer David F. 
Published: July 2020

Context.—
Serosal involvement (pT4a category) and lymphovascular invasion have prognostic significance in colorectal carcinoma, but are subject to interobserver variation in assessment.

Objectives.—
To provide the first large-scale assessment of interobserver variability in pT4a category and lymphovascular invasion reporting in real-world practice and to explore the impact of information from guidelines on variability in reporting these features.

Design.—
Analysis of 1555 consecutive synoptic reports of colorectal carcinoma was performed using multivariate logistic regression. Interobserver variability before and after the presentation of guideline information was assessed using an image-based survey.

Results.—
Significant differences in the odds of reporting pT4a versus pT3 category, detecting lymphovascular invasion of any type, and detecting large vessel invasion were identified among hospital sites and for individual pathologists compared with the median pathologist at the same site. Consistent with these results, interobserver agreement was only moderate in the image-based survey regarding T4a staging and lymphovascular invasion (all κ ≤ 0.57). The provision of information from guidelines did not tend to increase interobserver agreement in the survey, though responses in favor of using an elastic stain increased following recommendations for their use. However, when observers were provided with elastic-stained images, interobserver agreement remained only moderate (κ = 0.55).

Conclusions.—
Real-world reporting of pT4a category and lymphovascular invasion shows substantial variability at both local and regional levels. Our study underscores the need to address these features in quality initiatives, and provides a novel method through which existing synoptic data can be harnessed to monitor reporting patterns and provide individualized feedback.
