Analysis of Complications in 1000 Consecutive Radiofrequency Catheter Ablations of Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Meshkova M. , Doronin A. 
Published: June 2021

Introduction. In patients with drug-refractory symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), radiofrequency catheter ablation has become the main treatment option. Despite advances in technology and experience, the incidence of complications for this procedure reported by researchers still varies. In the USA, irrigated catheters are used nearly always, mostly with contact force sensing. We used conventional catheters.
The aim. To analyze the complications in 1000 consecutive radiofrequency catheter ablations of atrial fibrillation.
Results and discussion. Non-irrigated 4 mm tip ablation catheters and two venous punctures were used. In total, 32 (3.2%) complications were observed. Pericardial tamponade was observed in 6 cases (0.6%), pericardial effusion in 7 (0.7%), pericardial puncture without effusion in 1 (0.1%), pericarditis in 1 (0.1%), complete atrioventricular (AV) block in 2 (0.2%), transient AV block in 1 (0.1%), stroke in 2 (0.2%), diaphragm paresis with pneumonia in 1 (0.1%), femoral artery aneurysm in 6 (0.6%), femoral hematoma requiring blood transfusion in 2 (0.2%), arteriovenous fistula in 2 (0.2%), hematuria in 1 (0.1%).
Similar frequency of iatrogenic AV block was reported in the literature.
There were 26 (3.4%) complications during 794 primary procedures. After 206 repeated procedures, we observed 2 femoral hematomas, 2 femoral artery aneurysms, 1 arteriovenous fistula and 1 complete AV block – a total of 6 (2.9%) complications.
In several reports the incidence of life-threatening complications was lower than that in our study. However, the total number of complications in our group is at the level of the best results, despite the fact that we do not use irrigated catheters, esophageal temperature probes and endovascular ultrasound probes.
Conclusions. The technique that we use is as safe as other methods of AF radiofrequency catheter ablation.

Published: June 2021

INTRODUCCIÓN: La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) se define como limitación progresiva y poco reversible al flujo aéreo a consecuencia de una respuesta inflamatoria por inhalación sustancias, en particular humo del tabaco. La enfermedad tiene repercusión sistémica y entre otras, puede aumentar el riesgo de deterioro cognitivo. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Diseño prospectivo, transversal, observacional y analítico. El universo fueron pacientes EPOC que consultaron en dos instituciones de salud desde junio de 2017 a septiembre de 2018. Muestreo no probabilístico, por conveniencia. Se recogieron datos demográficos, de comorbilidades, se aplicó la escalaMCRm de disnea y se valoraron antecedentes de exacerbación de la enfermedad. La gravedad de la EPOC se reconoció por espirometría de acuerdo a GOLD. El deterioro cognitivo fue evaluado mediante el Neuropsi. RESULTADOS: La muestra final incluyó 44 sujetos. De acuerdo a espirometría y GOLD 7 pacientes (15,9 %) clasificaron en el grupo 1 (leve), 19 (43,2 %) en el 2 (moderado), 11 (25 %) en el 3 (grave) y 7 (15,9 %) en el 4 (muy grave). De los 44 pacientes reclutados, 28 (63,6 %) presentaron una función cognitiva normal y 16 (36,3 %), algún grado de alteración cognitiva. La memoria fue la función más comprometida. CONCLUSIONES: Dificultades en el reclutamiento impidieron alcanzar el tamaño de muestra esperado. Sin embargo, se observó una tendencia a favor de la asociación. Resulta importante insistir en evitar el tabaquismo pues este parece incrementar el riesgo de deterioro cognitivo que perturba aún más la calidad de vida y dificulta el tratamiento.

Published: June 2021

Introducción: En compromiso neurológico en el síndrome urémico hemolítico producido por Eschericha coli productor de Shiga toxina (STEC-SUH) es la primera causa de mortalidad. En los últimos años se ha demostrado que también contribuye al daño de órgano la activación de la vía alterna del complemento. Este hallazgo dio lugar al reconocimiento del descenso de C3 como marcador de mal pronóstico así como a la evaluación del uso de eculizumab ante compromiso neurológico severo.
Objetivo: Comunicar un paciente con STEC-SUH e hipocomplementemia con compromiso neurológico tratado con eculizumab.
Caso clínico: Varón de 17 meses que ingresa por síndrome convulsivo y 24 horas de anuria con antecedente de diarrea con sangre de 48 horas de evolución. Presentaba al ingreso laboratorio compatible con STEC-HUS e hiponatremia severa, con tomografía de cerebro normal. Además presentaba activación del complemento: C3 73 mg/dl (normal > 90 mg/dL) y C5b-9 778,9 ng/ml (normal 135,8-385,3 ng/ml). Se administró solución fisiológica y anticonvulsivantes, se corrigió la natremia y comenzó diálisis peritoneal. Al tercer día, por progresión del compromiso neurológico, se administró eculizumab (300 mg) experimentando una notable recuperación neurológica a las 24 horas junto a aumento de plaquetas y descenso de láctico deshidrogenasa. El paciente fue dado de alta luego de 14 días en buen estado general. Posteriormente se confirmó aislamiento de STEC O157:H7 y normalización de C3.
Conclusión: este caso demuestra que el descenso de C3 al ingreso se asoció con daño neurológico y sugiere que la administración de eculizumab podría ser una alternativa terapéutica favorable.

Published: June 2021

This article examines the ramifications of the recent amendment to the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (Act 164) in protecting the wellbeing of the family relationship involving interfaith marriage and other legal issues governing non-Muslim families. The amendment witnessed substantial reforms to section 51 of Act 164 pertaining to the divorce on the ground of conversion, increasing the age limit for child maintenance and adopting more flexible principles in dividing matrimonial assets. However, the focus will be on the impact of the amendment to section 51 of Act 164 due to its significant in changing the landscape of legal arguments pertaining to jurisdiction of the court in dealing with the subject matter in dispute, ranging from the divorce and other intense arguments pertaining to maintenance of wife, child custody and religious status of children. The study adopts qualitative study in elucidating relevant documents that comprised of statutory laws, articles in legal journals and decided cases where arguments leading to the need for the reform of those affected issues were well addressed. Certain aspects of Islamic jurisprudence will be referred to and analysed in searching for authoritative and practical legal arguments within the existing legal framework. Harmonisation of law is adopted whenever applicable when dealing with the resolution of conflict of laws. It is hoped that this study will provide constructive argument and invaluable source of reference for the Malaysian civil court in disposing of interfaith family disputes when the law is fully enforced.

This study investigates problems on the enforcement of court orders issued by the civil courts in divorce cases in Malaysia. Although the civil courts are guided by comprehensive statutory laws, however, issues on matters related to the enforcement of court orders especially maintenance orders are still unresolved. Therefore, this study is undertaken to examine and identify problems that have caused the failure to enforce these orders, post-divorce. A survey was conducted on one hundred and sixty-seven respondents came from five regions in Malaysia. The survey using questionnaires was the main method of collecting data. To support the empirical evidence, semi-structured interviews were also conducted in this study. The study discloses an obvious co-relation between complex and lengthy processes, unnecessary time consuming and costs inefficiency with the enforcement of orders after the divorce has taken place. This article is a prelude to a projected study on the enforcement of court orders issued by Civil Courts whereby the result will be useful for further improvement of the existing legal provisions in Malaysia.
MARRIAGE WITHOUT WALI’S CONSENT: A PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE FAMILY STRUCTURE OF PAKISTAN
Authors: Muhammad Ifzal Mehmood  , Noraini Binti Md Hashim  
Published: June 2021

In Islamic law on nikah is referred to as a civil contract. Thus, to fulfil a valid contract all the requisites of a valid marriage (arkan an-nikah) must be fulfilled. The majority of Muslim jurists opined that the consent of the guardian (wali) is one of the pillars determining the validity of marriage. Nevertheless, the Hanafi sect views that it as a mere condition for a marriage. In Pakistan, a precedent has been set in the Supreme Court’s case of Saima Waheed, where it was decided that an adult Muslim woman can marry without the consent of her guardian. The decision ignited a debate on whether the consent of a guardian is a requisite pillar of a marriage contract or merely a condition to it. In order to comprehend the issue of wali’s consent, it is essential to discuss the purpose of a marriage itself. This article discusses the importance of the wali’s consent under Islamic law, followed by an elaboration on the legal status of a marriage without consent of the guardian under the Pakistani law. Besides arm-chair research, interviews were conducted with female respondents who had conducted their marriage without their wali’s consent. The findings from these interviews indicate that marriage without wali’s consent is shattering the family structure and causing isolation of the partners both from the family and the society. Irrefutably, approval of the guardians in marriage is essential in sustaining the family system.

EVALUATION OF INFLUENCE OF THE UNITED COMPLEX AND SURGICAL TREATMENT ON SOME INDEXES OF CARBOHYDRATE EXCHANGE FOR PATIENTS ON GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS І-ІІ DEGREE OF DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Kimak H.B. , Tarnavska L.V. 
Published: June 2021

The dynamics of the inflammatory process in the periodontium, its generalization and chronization are determined not only by the composition of the microflora, but also by the state of the protective reactions of the organism (the pro-atherogenic spectrum of lipids and the disturbance of the carbohydrate metabolism) and the reactivity of the immune system in response to the pathogenic factor.
Purpose of the study. The study of changes in the parameters of carbohydrate metabolism in the oral fluid of patients with generalized periodontitis (GP), before and during the different terms after the complex and surgical treatment, was determined the relevance of the direction which was chosen by us.
Materials and methods. Somatically healthy people were examined and treated: 30 patients with chronic generalized periodontitis – group І, 32 patients – with exacerbation of chronic generalized periodontitis – group II and 30 persons with a healthy parodontium. Indicators of carbohydrate metabolism were determined in the oral liquid: content of glucose, pyruvate (pyruvic acid) and lactate (lactic acid) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDG) activity before, immediately and after 6 and 12 months after the treatment. A significant increase of all studied by us carbohydrate metabolism parameters (p<0.001) was found, which confirms its imbalance. In order to regulate the revealed violations, initial periodontal therapy was prescribed; oral dishes with the solution of St. John’s wort, gum applications and application of the gel were developed by us on the basis of medicinal herbs (extract of Echinacea purpureum, tincture of Eleutherococcus and St. John’s wort) and sorbent, and inside – the herbal syrup “Immuno-tone” and surgical treatment.
Conclusions. The regulation of the parameters of carbohydrate metabolism in the oral liquid of patients of groups I and II with the achievement of these standards, especially after 6 and 12 months after the treatment, showed the effectiveness of the developed by us therapeutic complex and surgical treatment allowed us to recommend it for the widespread introduction into practice.

Published: June 2021

The question of combined lesions of the oral cavity and internal organs occupy a prominent place among the problems of dentistry nowadays. They allow to reflect the genesis of many diseases that manifest themselves in the oral cavity.
Aim of the study was to analyze information on the relationship of diseases of oral cavity and various diseases of gastrointestinal tract.
Anatomical and physiological proximity, common innervation and humoral regulation leads to the involvement of organs of oral cavity in the pathological process. Catarrhal gingivitis, stomatitis are often caused by deficiency of vitamins of group B. Above-mentioned deficiency is caused, according to many scientists, by the diseases of gastrointestinal tract. And such diseases of the oral cavity as chronic recurrent stomatitis, lichen planus, chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis, chronic periodontitis depends on the pathology of the digestive tract.
Conclusions. Thus, anatomical and physiological characteristics of children, who suffers from chronic gastrointestinal diseases, make us study the clinical manifestations of dental diseases in these patients.
Prospects for further research. Further study of the dental status of children with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract is very valuable.

Published: June 2021

The relationship between the fungal community characteristics and soil environmental factors of volcanic ecosystem in Wudalianchi, China were investigated. The soil fungal community structure and diversity of new, old, and non-erupting volcanos were explored through highthroughput sequencing technology. The result showed that the physical and chemical properties of three plots were significantly different. Through sequencing 578 species, 366 genera, 202 families, 89 orders, 32 classes, and 11 phyla were detected. Among them Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the dominant fungi phyla. The relative abundance of various flora determined by phylum classification showed significant differences. The Shannon, Simpson, Ace, and Chao1 indices for the soil fungi in the three plots were also significantly different. Redundancy and correlation analyses showed that the α diversity of fungi was significantly correlated with pH, organic matter and total nitrogen in the soil. These results indicate that soil environmental factors influence the fungal diversity in the different volcanic ecosystems in Wudalianchi, China.
