Authors: Feo Rebecca , Conroy Tiffany , Wiechula Rick , Rasmussen Philippa , Frensham Lauren , Kitson Alison 
Published: June 2018

Review question/objective:
The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map the range of tools that measure behavioral aspects of the nurse-patient relationship (i.e. the behaviors employed by nurses to develop and maintain a relationship with their patients) within any healthcare setting and for any patient group. Specifically, the review will map the behaviors that are measured through these tools, how the tools have been used and in what contexts. The specific review question is: what tools are available to measure the behavioral aspects of nurse-patient relationships?

Abstract: Introduction: The determination of natriuretic peptide levels in patients hospitalized for suspected acute heart failure is important for the confirmation of the diagnosis and for the prognosis. Changes in natriuretic peptide levels in response to therapy have a strong prognostic value. Aim: To decide whether repeated natriuretic peptide measurements for acute heart failure show changes that could influence the diagnosis and/or the prognosis. Method: Prospective data collection was carried out of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels on admission and within 12 hours in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure. Only the data of those patients were analyzed whose symptoms started within 24 hours prior to admission and were due to acute heart failure. Results: The 23 patients whose data we analyzed had an average age of 77.9 ± 8.3 years. Most of them had left ventricular systolic dysfunction with an average ejection fraction of 34.1 ± 3.9%. The time between the start of symptoms and the first measurement was 6.7 ± 2.2 hours, while the time until the repeated determination was 6.5 ± 2.2 hours after the first measurement. The median value of the NT-proBNP levels in the 6 hours control showed an increase from 5064 pg/mL to 8847 pg/mL (p<0.0005), which amounts to a 75 percent increase – mean hs-troponin T showed an increase from 46 ± 25 ng/L to 78 ± 51 ng/L (p<0.002). Conclusions: A significant increase in NT-proBNP levels is to be expected in early repeated measurement after hospital admission. This fact could have diagnostic and prognostic consequences if validated in a larger patient population. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(25): 1009–1012.

Published: June 2018

O presente artigo aborda a experiência de um estudo de caso que buscou no pensamento da Comunicação Pública (CP) propor uma política de comunicação para uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior (IFES), que desde sua fundação, 1910, não possui um documento oficial de comunicação para relacionamento com públicos estratégicos. Logo, com base na técnica de pesquisa auditoria de comunicação organizacional, uma abordagem de caráter qualitativo esquadrinhou as ambivalências internas e externas da comunicação organizacional e levantou o conjunto de recursos humanos, produtos e tecnologias que compõem o sistema de comunicação da IFES. Os resultados mostram as particularidades destes elementos e exemplifica de que maneira a Comunicação Pública pode ser adota como recurso estratégico em IFES, e por conseguinte, na Administração Pública brasileira. The present article approaches the experience of a case study that sought in the thought of the Public Communication (CP) to propose a communication policy for a Federal Institution of Higher Education (IFES), that since its foundation, 1910, does not have an official document of communication with strategic audiences. Therefore, based on the research technique of organizational communication auditing, a qualitative approach scrutinized the internal and external ambivalences of organizational communication and raised the set of human resources, products and technologies that make up the IFES communication system. The results show the particularities of these elements and exemplifies how Public Communication can be adopted as a strategic resource in IFES, and therefore, in the Brazilian Public Administration.

The Effects of Sodium Citrate and an Excess of Plasminogen on Fibrinolytic Agents
Authors: Astrup Tage , Sterndorff Ida 
Published: June 2018

Summary1. The presence of citrate in the normal fibrin enhanced the fibrinolytic activity of plasminogen activators, including trypsin. The effect of proteases (on normal or on heated fibrin, containing citrate) was not significantly influenced.2. The effect of plasminogen activators was also increased when excess of plasminogen was present in the normal fibrin plates.3. Fumaric acid and maleic acid belong to the polycarboxylic acids producing an enhancing effect.

Abstract

Introduction
There are fundamental differences between electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and conventional cigarette product categories with regards to potential environmental exposures, notably that e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco or generate side-stream emissions. Here we assess the spatial and temporal patterns of exhaled e-cigarette aerosol at a bystander’s position, and compare it with conventional cigarette smoke emissions.

Methods
Smokers were asked to use e-cigarettes or smoke conventional cigarettes in a room-simulating chamber. Volunteers used the products at different distances from a heated mannequin, representing a bystander, and under different room ventilation rates. Aerosol particle concentrations and size distributions at the bystander’s position were measured.

Results
For both product categories, the particle concentrations registered following each puff were in the same order of magnitude. However, for e-cigarettes the particle concentration returned rapidly to background values within seconds; for conventional cigarettes it increased with successive puffs, returning to background levels after 30–45 minutes. Unlike for the e-cigarette devices tested, such temporal variation was dependent on the room ventilation rate. Particle size measurements showed that exhaled e-cigarette particles were smaller than those emitted during smoking conventional cigarettes and evaporated almost immediately after exhalation, thus affecting the removal of particles through evaporation rather than displacement by ventilation.

Conclusions
Significant differences between emissions from the tested e- and conventional cigarettes are reported. Exhaled e-cigarette particles are liquid droplets evaporating rapidly; conventional cigarette smoke particles are far more stable and linger.

Implications
• Several factors potentially influencing particle behavior after exhalation of e-cigarette aerosols or emitted during smoking conventional cigarettes were studied.
• Differences in particle size between those exhaled following use of e-cigarettes and those emitted during smoking of conventional cigarettes were observed.
• E-cigarette particle concentrations decreased rapidly following exhalation due to evaporation.
• The removal of particles following smoking conventional cigarettes was much slower and was dependent on the room ventilation rate.
Oxford Nanopore MinION genome sequencer: performance characteristics, optimised analysis workflow, phylogenetic analysis and prediction of antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Published: June 2018

AbstractAntimicrobial resistant (AMR) Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains are common and compromise gonorrhoea treatment internationally. Rapid identification and characterisation of AMR gonococcal strains could ensure appropriate and even personalised treatment, and support identification and investigation of gonorrhoea outbreaks in nearly real-time. Whole-genome sequencing is ideal for investigation of the emergence and dissemination of AMR determinants that predict AMR in the gonococcal population and spread of AMR strains in the human population. The novel, rapid and revolutionary long-read sequencer MinION is a small hand-held device that can generate bacterial genomes within one day. However, the accuracy of MinION reads has been suboptimal for many objectives and the MinION has not been evaluated for gonococci. In this first MinION study for gonococci, we show that MinION-derived sequences analysed with existing open-access, web-based sequence analysis tools are not sufficiently accurate to identify key gonococcal AMR determinants. Nevertheless, using an in house-developed CLC Genomics Workbench, we show that ONT-derived sequences can be used for accurate prediction of decreased susceptibility or resistance to recommended therapeutic antimicrobials. We also show that the ONT-derived sequences can be useful for rapid phylogenomic-based molecular epidemiological investigations, and, in hybrid assemblies with Illumina sequences, for producing contiguous assemblies and finished reference genomes.
Hibás kommunikációs panelek perinatalis veszteség esetén

Published: June 2018

Abstract: In the case of obstetrics and intensive child care, the members of the medical team are the first to communicate with mourning parents about their pre- and perinatal loss. According to the national law, only doctors are allowed to report death. Our aim is to emphasize the complexity and specificity of this communication process by presenting a short case study, in which we highlight how improper, incorrect and sometimes misleading this communication can be regardless on the pain of the mourning parents. The mourning period is characterized by the vulnerability of families and very often accompanied with impulsive reactions. Tipical consolatory phrases in the post-mortem communication such as “No problem, you are able to get pregnant again and you will have a child soon!” can be especially traumatogenic. Through the presented case description we would like to emphasize how effective support can be provided by a trained specialist, and what aspects should be taken into consideration. In order to benefit from the supporting communication we collected some national and international guidelines. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(12): 1033–1036.

The Recognition of the Right to Cultural Identity under (and beyond) international Human Rights law
Authors: Ferri Marcella 
Published: June 2018

After summarising the range of reflections by legal scholars on Cultural Rights, this article scrutinises the principle interpretations of the right to take part in cultural life – by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Committee on the Rights of the Child. Due to the evolving interpretations adopted, these bodies have come to define both a right to cultural identity and a right to cultural heritage that is both nuanced and direct. Moreover, they open the door to more extensive attempts at defining customary state obligations, for instance, to respect cultural heritage as recently demonstrated by the decision of the International Criminal Court in the well-known Prosecutor v. Ahmad Al Faqi Al Mahdi case (2016). This article underlines the importance of this ruling in identifying the human dimension to cultural heritage. It established that the human perspective of cultural heritage is not a prerogative of human rights bodies only, but is beginning to be recognised and valued by other international agencies and organs.
The Polar® OH1 Optical Heart Rate Sensor is Valid during Moderate-Vigorous Exercise
Authors: Schubert Matthew , Clark Amy , De La Rosa Annie 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Purpose Traditional heart-rate monitoring through the use of electrocardiograms or chest-worn heart rate sensors can be challenging in certain sports or in field settings. New technologies, such as photoplethysmography (PPG), have enabled heart-rate monitoring at alternate sites. However, to date, the accuracy and validity of various PPG sensors has not been examined in detail. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the validity of an arm-worn PPG sensor during yoga sequences.
Methods Fifteen college-aged men and women participated in a ~45 min power vinyasa yoga class. During the class, participants wore Polar® H7 chest straps and RCX3 receivers (criterion) and Polar® OH1 arm bands on their upper right arm (practical). Mean differences were compared via a paired t-test, heart rate during yoga using a time*device repeated measures ANOVA, and agreement assessed with Bland-Altman analysis.
Results Mean heart rates during yoga were not different (mean difference=0.76, 95% CI: –0.54 to 2.06; p=0.229). Yoga created a main effect of time on heart rate (p<0.0001), but there was no difference between devices (p=0.86) or interaction (p=0.90). Mean bias±95% limits of agreement was 0.76±1.30 bpm, with a typical error of 2.42±1.49 bpm and a coefficient of variation of 1.8±1.5%.
Conclusions Results of the present investigation revealed that the Polar® OH1 is a valid measure of heart rate during moderate-vigorous exercise. Future validation studies should consider other exercise modes and participant characteristics.
Influence of Serum Incubation Conditions on Asolectin Thromboplastin Generation Results
Authors: Seaman Arthur J. , Karlsen Karen-Marie 
Published: June 2018

SummaryThromboplastin generation in a system employing Asolectin, a soybean phosphatide, suspension as a platelet substitute is greatly influenced by the time and temperature of serum incubation.Reproducible results and good separation of populations of normal and PTC deficient sera were obtained in the asolectin TGT system when test sera were incubated for 1 hour at 20° C prior to the thromboplastin generation test. Longer time or higher temperatures of serum incubation resulted in progressively less reliable, separation of pathologic and normal populations in asolectin TGT systems than in fresh platelet TGT systems. Cephalin suspension was shown in a smaller number of tests to behave similarly to asolectin suspension when used as a platelet substitute in TGT systems.The 0.14 M sodium citrate eluate of citrated normal or Hemophilia B sera (incubated 1 hour at 37° C) had the ability to shorten the prolonged asolectin TGT minimal time of “over-incubated” normal sera to values obtained with the same sera in fresh platelet TGT systems. This correction, however, was probably non-specific since Hemophilia B sera results were sometimes similarly normalized. Citrated (but not oxalated) plasma incubated at 37° C for 24 hours, then recalcified to manufacture serum, and incubated an additional hour at 20° C showed no loss of the fresh 1 hour 20° C serum activity in asolectin thromboplastin generation, further suggesting that the thermolabile component of normal serum influencing asolectin TGT is a reaction product evolved during clotting.
Heparin Resistance, Measured by the Plasma Heparin Thrombin Time, in Patients on Long-term Anticoagulant Therapy with Phenylindanedione Following Coronary Occlusion
Authors: Holger-Madsen T , Schioler M 
Published: June 2018

SummaryOf 74 patients with a history of coronary occlusion 42 received anticoagulant (phenylindanedione) therapy, while 32 were untreated. Both groups were investigated in a comparative study of prothrombin determination, heparin tolerance test, and plasma heparin thrombin time. By the latter method the clotting time with thrombin is determined on heparinized, platelet-poor citrated plasma. In several patients on anticoagulant therapy whose prothrombin-proconvertin level was well adjusted and whose heparin clotting time, as measured by the heparin tolerance test, was definitely prolonged in relation to normal, an increased heparin resistance might still be demonstrated in the form of a distinct shortening of the heparin thrombin time. In the majority of the treated patients the anticoagulant therapy had entailed a prolongation of the heparin clotting time as measured by the heparin tolerance test. As measured by the heparin thrombin time, however, the treatment was found to have had no influence on the heparin resistance, there being no difference between the frequency of shortened heparin thrombin time in the treated and in the untreated group.
A Rapid Quantitative Assay of Factor VIII (AHG) Without the Use of Haemophilia A Plasma
Authors: Jung Ernst G. 
Published: June 2018

SummaryA new method for the quantitative determination of factor VIII (AHG) without using haemophilia A plasma as test substrate has been described. The comparison to Geiger et al. shows a good concordance. The normal range of factor VIII in adults is 50—150% (normal plasma taken as 100%) and the average value of healthy newborns is 78%. This is compared to the average values of the other clotting factors in newborns. Factor VIII is not affected by deficient vitamin K resorption.

Published: June 2018

SummaryPreparations of bovine platelet cofactor I have been examined according to biophysical methods. In the ultracentrifuge the patterns reveal a major component comprising 86% of the total and two faster moving minor components. The sedimentation constants are 6.65, 10.0, and 21.2 Svedberg units. The diffusion constant is 3.30 × 10−7 cm2 sec−1. Associating this value with the main constituent, the molecular weight is found to be 196,000. A molecular axial ratio of 12 is also obtained from these data. An axial ratio of 8 is indicated from viscosity data. The extinction coefficient at 2800 Å is 14.8.
Viscous Metamorphosis Produced by Chilling and by Clotting Failure to Find Specific Defect of Viscous Metamorphosis in PTA Syndrome
Authors: Zucker Marjorie B. , Borrelli Jennie 
Published: June 2018

SummaryDevelopment of platelet clumps, fusion (VM) and fibrin was studied when an aliquot of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), prepared in siliconed glassware without anticoagulant, was transferred to a glass or siliconed tube and shaken at 37° C.When PRP was not chilled prior to shaking at 37° C in a siliconed tube, clots rarely formed for 12 minutes. Platelet clumps either developed about 1 minute before the clot or did not form at all. If PRP was chilled before shaking, some samples developed platelet clumps within a minute, long before clotting occurred. Either the platelets in these clumps did not fuse, and the clumps disappeared as the sample became warm, or fusion occurred and the clumps persisted.The distinction between clumps caused by chilling and those produced just prior to coagulation, presumably by thrombin, was even clearer in PRP from patients with prolonged clotting times caused by AHF, PTC and PTA deficiency than it was in normal PRP. Chilled samples usually developed early clumps even though clotting was delayed. In unchilled samples, clumping was delayed as well as clotting; this was attributed to sluggish thrombin evolution.When EDTA1 PRP was chilled for several hours and shaken at 37° C in the presence of a physiologic excess of magnesium, clumps formed and the platelets often underwent fusion or VM. No relationship could be found between this type of clumping and the coagulation mechanism, although mercuric chloride and benadryl inhibited both VM produced by cold and that caused by clotting.
