Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate outcomes of dogs with parathyroid carcinoma (PTC) treated by surgical excision and to describe the incidence of postoperative hypocalcemia, degree of hypocalcemia, duration of hospitalization, duration of calcium supplementation, and survival time

ANIMALS
100 client-owned dogs with PTC admitted to academic, referral veterinary institutions.

PROCEDURES
In a retrospective multi-institutional study, medical records of dogs undergoing surgical excision of PTC between 2010 to 2019 were reviewed. Signalment, relevant medical history, clinical signs, clinicopathologic testing, imaging, surgical findings, intraoperative complications, histologic examination, and survival time were recorded.

RESULTS
100 dogs with PTC were included, and 96 dogs had clinical or incidental hypercalcemia. Common clinical signs included polyuria (44%), polydipsia (43%), hind limb paresis (22%), lethargy (21%), and hyporexia (20%). Cervical ultrasonography detected a parathyroid nodule in 91 of 91 dogs, with a single nodule in 70.3% (64/91), 2 nodules in 25.3% (23/91), and ≥ 3 nodules in 4 (4/91)% of dogs. Hypercalcemia resolved in 89 of 96 dogs within 7 days after surgery. Thirty-four percent of dogs developed hypocalcemia, on the basis of individual analyzer ranges, within 1 week after surgery. One dog had metastatic PTC to the prescapular lymph node, and 3 dogs were euthanized for refractory postoperative hypocalcemia. Estimated 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 84%, 65%, and 51% respectively, with a median survival time of 2 years.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Excision of PTC results in resolution of hypercalcemia and excellent long-term tumor control. Surgical excision of PTC is recommended because of resolution of hypercalcemia and a good long-term prognosis. Future prospective studies and long-term follow-up are needed to further assess primary tumor recurrence, metastasis, and incidence of postoperative hypocalcemia.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate outcomes in cats undergoing subtotal colectomy for the treatment of idiopathic megacolon and to determine whether removal versus nonremoval of the ileocecocolic junction (ICJ) was associated with differences in outcome.

ANIMALS
166 client-owned cats.

PROCEDURES
For this retrospective cohort study, medical records databases of 18 participating veterinary hospitals were searched to identify records of cats with idiopathic megacolon treated by subtotal colectomy from January 2000 to December 2018. Data collection included perioperative and surgical variables, complications, outcome, and owner perception of the procedure. Data were analyzed for associations with outcomes of interest, and Kaplan-Meier survival time analysis was performed.

RESULTS
Major perioperative complications occurred in 9.9% (15/151) of cats, and 14% (12/87) of cats died as a direct result of treatment or complications of megacolon. The median survival time was not reached. Cats with (vs without) a body condition score < 4/9 (hazard ratio [HR], 5.97), preexisting heart disease (HR, 3.21), major perioperative complications (HR, 27.8), or long-term postoperative liquid feces (HR, 10.4) had greater hazard of shorter survival time. Constipation recurrence occurred in 32% (24/74) of cats at a median time of 344 days and was not associated with retention versus removal of the ICJ; however, ICJ removal was associated with long-term liquid feces (OR, 3.45), and a fair or poor outcome on owner assessment (OR, 3.6).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results indicated that subtotal colectomy was associated with long survival times and a high rate of owner satisfaction. Removal of the ICJ was associated with less favorable outcomes in cats of the present study.

Abstract
Respiratory tract infections are the most common infections find at pediatric age. Children with lower respiratory tract infections can presents severe forms, which is why early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Choosing the therapy is made according to the etiology, but at the time of admission it is difficult to establish the etiology of the disease and for this reason, most often, it is decided to initiate the antibiotic therapy. Excessive antibiotic prescription, in cases that it is not justified, is really a problem because it contributes to the increase of antimicrobial resistance. A study was conducted in order to limit the hypothesis of prolonged antibiotic therapy, which also prolongs the duration of hospitalization. By anticipating C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels we could guide or reconsider the antibiotic treatment.

Abstract
Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathy, affecting preferentially young women in their fourth decade. Intensive care admission is often required due to organ dysfunction development risk and for specific critical care measures (Plasma Exchange-PEX). In this article, we will discuss our experience with PEX in the treatment of TTP. Case report: A previously healthy 13-year-old female presented with neurological impairment, and suspicion of stroke. The head computed tomography (CT) scan revealed absence of acute intracranian pathology, and biological evaluation displayed severe thrombocytopenia and haemolytic anemia. After 24 hours, the neurological symptoms were remitted and suspicion of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura was raised. The presence of ADAMTS-13 antibodies and Moschcowitz’s pentad confirmed the diagnosis. Discussions: The distinctiveness of this case lies in the development of the disease in a 13-year-old person, though TTP usually occurs after the age of 40. The exact cause of ADAMTS-13 low activity could not be established. The use of a high dose of steroids and of plasma exchange is considered to be the first line therapy, with the use of monoclonal antibodies in refractory cases, as it was in our case. Conclusions: The primary end points of our management was to prevent organ damage and to achieve a platelet count greater than 150 000 /µL, as well as a normal or an almost normal lactate dehydrogenase. We achieved this by using high dose corticosteroid therapy, filtration of approximately 50 liters of plasma in 14 PEX session and by administration of monoclonal antibodies.

Background: Sepsis is a common, life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. In 2017, estimated cases for sepsis reached 48.9 million worldwide, with 11 million deaths. Adequate antibiotic therapy is crucial for the treatment of sepsis. Purposes: The objective of this study is to find factors related to sepsis patient outcomes. Methods: We conducted a 1-year retrospective descriptive study with the inclusion criteria of all adult sepsis patients in Tarakan District Hospital in 2018. We compiled 39 samples that fit the inclusion criteria. Results: The distribution gender of this study were 51.2% female and 48.8% male patients; with most patients in the age of <65 years old (53.8%), <7 days in the length of stay (72%), and the most common source of infection was gastrointestinal (33.3%) followed by lungs (28.2%). Conclusion: We found a mortality rate of 59%, with the most common source of infection leading to death was the lungs (81.2%) and treated with single ceftriaxone antibiotic therapy (78.3%). Another factor associated with mortality is inadequate single antibiotic therapy.

Background: Chronic gastritis is a chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa, accompanied by changes in mucosal histology with or without Helicobacter pylori infection. Changes in the gastric mucosa include gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and epithelial dysplasia. Purposes: This study aims to determine the microscopic appearance of the mucosa in chronic gastritis patients based on standard histopathological criteria, which include gland atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia with or without Helicobacter pylori infection at Pertamina Central Hospital Jakarta period 2018 - 2019. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a cross-sectional study from March 15 to March 25, 2020. Results: This study reported 303 cases of active chronic gastritis (38.4%) out of 790 total samples that met the inclusion criteria. Microscopic changes of the mucosa were found in the form of atrophy of the mucous glands in 254 cases (32.2%), intestinal metaplasia in 25 cases (3.2%), and epithelial dysplasia cases in 23 cases (2.9%). Conclusion: the proportion of active chronic gastritis patients found in this study was helicobacter pylori infection is more dominantly found in patients with active chronic gastritis than in non-active chronic gastritis. The description of atrophic glands in chronic gastritis patients was more dominant than parameters based on intestinal metaplasia and epithelial dysplasia. It was a finding of intestinal metaplasia compared to all cases showing risk factors that require further clinical observation (follow-up) to detect potential malignancies earlier so that it is necessary to do more preventive action.

Człowiek wobec Boga w wierszach nauczycielek-poetek z Pomorza (konceptualizacje językowe)
Authors: Kępka Izabela 
Published: November 2021

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie językowej kreacji Boga oraz stosunku człowieka do Najwyższego w poezji trzech nauczycielek-poetek mieszkających i pracujących na Pomorzu: Małgorzaty Borzeszkowskiej, Hanny Glok-Lejk i Anny Halasz. W tekście wykorzystano fragmenty 25 utworów, które pokazują analizowane konceptualizacje. Językowa kreacja Boga i relacji człowiek – Bóg w utworach nauczycielek-poetek z Pomorza wykorzystuje prosty język i słownictwo potoczne. Zastosowanie takiego języka podkreśla bliskość człowieka i Boga, ale pokazuje też słabą wiarę człowieka.
Bóg ukazany jest jako zawsze obecny w życiu człowieka ze swoją miłością i troską. Człowiek wątpiący nie dostrzega tej obecności, człowiek kroczący drogą wyznaczoną przez Pana realizuje powołanie codzienną pracą, dążąc do Boga aż do ostatecznego zjednoczenia z Najwyższym.

Authors: Fauzia Envrinda Arief , Purnama Herry 
Published: November 2021

Activated carbon also known as activated charcoal is a common term for carbon materials, which comprises charcoal. Activated carbon has a good adsorption capacity against gases and pollutants in liquids because of its wide surface. The material used in this research was tropical black bamboo, with the variation of particle size -10+20 mesh, -20+40 mesh, -40+60 mesh and -60+80 mesh. There are 2 processes to produce activated carbon, i.e. carbonation and activation. In this research, the carbonation is set at 380°C in 1 hour. Then, each size of carbon was activated by H3PO4 9.8% along 24 hours. The analysis conducted were moisture content, ash content, iodine number, and functional group analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The smaller particle size, the more pores will be produced and it caused the surface area higher. The results showed that variation of particle size had effect on the characterization and quality of activated carbon, where moisture content is between 10.60 to 4.05%, ash content is 1% to 0.2% and iodine adsorption is between 710 mg/g to 900 mg/g. In FTIR analysis, it showed that all of the samples had O-H, C=C, and C-O functional group.
