Limites das intervenções fetais: uma análise ética e jurisprudencial
Authors: Reckziegel Janaína , Da Silva Simone Tatiana 
Published: December 2018

Esta pesquisa situa-se na área do Direito, tendo como objetivo a reflexão sobre os limites das intervenções fetais. O método utilizado foi o qualitativo, tendo como fonte de dados a pesquisa bibliográfica e jurisprudencial. Pretendeu-se responder questões relacionadas às intervenções, tais como: Qual o momento de se realizar intervenções? A mulher pode negar-se a realizá-las? Estas questões não possuem resposta pronta e exigem do pesquisador um repensar. Repensar que não pode apenas basear-se em questões morais e éticas mas também em reflexões filosóficas e relacionadas ao Direito. Aí reside a importância deste texto, tratando-se de estudo inovador, pois apesar de o tema ser amplamente debatido nas ciências médicas, é pouco desenvolvido na áreajurídica. Verificou-se que as intervenções fetais lidam com aspectos eticamente difíceis, como o debate sobre o início da vida e a autonomia da gestante. Em relação à Jurisprudência brasileira, a maior parte dos casos, refere-se a erros médicos em procedimentos e diagnósticos. Finalmente conclui-se que as intervenções fetais apresentam grande relevância, pois são responsáveis pela sobrevivência e prevenção de malformações em crianças. Apesar da importância destacada, as mesmas ainda suscitam debates diversos e apresentam questões éticas e legais ainda não resolvidas.

Published: December 2018

Background and purpose: Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) is a beneficial tool in providing diagnostic and treatment services in the healthcare domain.This study aims to investigate awareness, attitudes, and skills of medical private and public laboratory the staff in implementing RFID.Materials and Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study conducted based on the descriptive-applied approach in private and public medical laboratories in Shiraz in 2017. The population size of this study included all laboratories’ staff that involved technicians, technologists, and technical supervisors. 147 staffs were then assigned through census. Data was collected using a researcher-made checklist, and its validity and reliability were assessed and approved. The collected data was then analysed in a significance level of 0.05 using descriptive statistics and t-test, ANOVA ,and Pearson correlation test in SPSS23.Results: Findings showed that the mean awareness, attitude and skill scores of participants were 3.13±0.91, 4.09 ± 0.38 and 2.39±0.65, respectively. In this regard, the staff awareness and attitude scores labelled good, and their skill score labelled medium. Also, almost all participants had a positive attitude toward executing RFID, and there was documented a significant direct association between the staff knowledge, attitudes, and skills dimensions. Conclusion: Considering the inchoate RFID technology and its limited usage, the staff RFID skills needed improvement. Therefore, the results suggested that the necessary training followed by implementing RFID technology should have received a high-level priority on policymakers’ agenda.

Background and purpose: Communication skill is a key ability and an integral part of the nursing profession. This study aimed to investigate the effect of communication skills training of nurses on patients’ satisfaction with nursing staff in teaching hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.Method: This Cross-sectional study was carried out in 2017. The research population consisted of the patients visiting 13 SUMS-affiliated hospitals, 581 nurses who participated in communication skills training courses, and 2,207 nurses who did not receive this training. From this population, a total of 400 patients were selected through convenience sampling and 50 trained nurses and 50 untrained nurses were chosen randomly. The data collection instruments were the Nurse Quality of Communication with Patient Questionnaire (NQCPQ) and La Monica-Oberst Patient Satisfaction Scale (LOPSS). Data were analyzed in SPSS using T-test, ANOVA, Tukey test, and Pearson correlation coefficient at α = 5%.Results: A significant correlation was found between nursing-patient commination score and patient satisfaction (LOPSS) score (P=0.021, r = 0.647). Patients under the care of trained nurses were also found to be more satisfied with nursing services than those served by untrained nurses (P=0.011, t=2.56). The results showed that patient satisfaction had a significant relationship with age and marital status (p =0.027).Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that the implementation of communication skills training courses for nurses can lead to improved patient satisfaction. Hospital directors were then recommended to hold regular communication skills training courses for their nursing staff.

Authors: Rouhani Samad , Hamid Daryabary Sayed 
Published: December 2018

Background and purpose: Reliable information about utilization of medical services is key for making appropriate decisions of all healthcare systems. Nonetheless, most policy decisions and planning in the rural areas of developing countries are made with the lack of such crucial information. In this article we attempt to reveal the pattern of curative care utilization of rural population in Amol, a county in Northern Province of Mazandaran. Methods: In this study 355 patients living in rural area who in the last three month utilized curative care from different providers were interviewed in their doorsteps. All interviewees were heads of family or people age above 15. SPSS software was used for analyzing the data. Results: About a quarter of patients (24.5%) have referred to their local family physicians. It is noticeable that the proportion of people who referred to GP out of family physicians scheme exceeds the proportion of patients referred to GPs who are working as family physicians in the FMRI scheme. Among the studied variables, only basic insurance, severity of disease, and type of care utilized had significant association with referred or not referred of individuals to their own family physicians.Conclusion:Family medicine and rural insurance in Iran has increased the overall service utilization of population in rural areas but not in the scale that the government has spent its limited healthcare resources. This raises the concern of inappropriate resource allocation for inappropriate people and inappropriate services.

Published: December 2018

Objective. To study blood velocity in arterioles in hypertensive patients by doppler. Design and methods. We assessed blood velocity in 90 patients with essential arterial hypertension (AH) and in 83 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) with AH («Minimax-Doppler-K»), and in 102 control subjects: during systole (Vs, cm/s), diastole (Vd, cm/s) and during the mean blood ﬂow cycle (Vm, cm/s). Then spontaneous changes of blood velocity were recorded during 1 minute. In patients with DM2 association between blood velocity and disease duration was studied. In 43 hypertensive patients Vsand Vdwere deﬁned after treatment. Results. Hypertensive patients had the highest blood velocity, lower values were deﬁned in healthy people, and hypertensive subjects with DM2demonstrated the lowest blood velocity. Fluctuations in blood velocity during systole were the highest in healthy people, less in hypertensives and the smallest in subjects with DM2 and AH. Variations of blood velocity during diastole were the highest in AH patients, less in patients with DM2 with AH and the least in healthy subjects. Blood velocity in arterioles is lower in patients with the longer duration of DM2. In treated hypertensive patients blood velocity in arterioles reduces. Conclusion. By assessment of blood ﬂow velocity in arterioles we can evaluate the functional state of these vessels in hypertensive patients.

Published: December 2018

Objective.To compare aortic elasticity and vasomotor endothelial function in hypertensive and normotensive patients with decompensated primary hypothyroidism (PHT) and after medical compensation. Design and methods. 41 women with PHT were examined, 23 (56 %) subjects had concomitant hypertension. Elasticity of aorta was evaluated by compliance coefficient (CC) and pulse wave velocity (PWV), state of vasomotor endothelial function — by vasodilatation coefficient (VDC). Patients were examined twice: during decompensation and after medical compensation.Results. Mean values of CC in patients with decompensated PHT were 2,27 (95 % confidence interval 1,53–3,01) and 2,23 (1,78–2,67) mm2/mm Hg in hypertensives and normotensive, respectively, PWV — 12,2 (10,4–13,9) and 12,9 (11,8–14,0) m/s, VDC — 4,51 (2,91–6,11) and 3,72 (2,06–5,37) CU, respectively (all p > 0,05). Compensation of PHT led to the CC increase up to 4,69 (4,13–5,24) and 4,66 (3,96–5,36) mm2/mm Hg, PWV patients till 8,85 (6,77–10,9) and 7,40 (6,68–8,11) m/s, VDC increase up to 10,7 (9,27–12,2) and 8,94 (7,81–10,1) CU (all p < 0,05).Conclusion. Compensation of PHT is accompanied by improvement of aortic elasticity and vasomotor endothelial function. There are no differences in aortic elasticity and vasomotor endothelial function in hypertensive and normotensive patients during decompensation and after euthyroid state achievement.

Objective. To study the etiology of nonischemic ventricular arrhythmias and to improve diagnostic evaluation of inlammatory myocardial disease using endomyocardial biopsy.Design and methods. We performed 100 endomyocardial biopsies during catheter ablation in patients with nonischemic ventricular arrythmias. Results. Myocarditis was veriied in 58 cases, and postinlammatory ibrosis — in 24 cases. Twenty three patients (67 %) demonstrated active myocarditis, 1 (2,9 %) had chronic active myocarditis, and 10 subjects (29 %) — chronic non-active myocarditis. Conclusion. Endomyocardial biopsy contributes to better veriication of the etiology of ventricular arrhythmias. Late gadolinium enhancement during magnetic resonance imaging shows 74 % sensitivity and 46,9 % speciicity in the evaluation of myocarditis, and 52,4 % sensitivity and 38,9 % speciicity in veriication of postinlammatory ibrosis. Presence of CD-8+ cells, Ig M, patchy dystrophin expression can be additional features for veriication of active myocarditis.

Objective. To compare the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), risk factors of its development when using the old (WHO, 1999) and the new Russian criteria (2012) and to assess the correspondence between fasting glycaemia and 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), under the new criteria.Design and methods. A total of 354 pregnant women were screened for gestational diabetes mellitus by OGTT between weeks 24 and 28 of gestation. Fasting blood glucose at irst prenatal visit was obtained from the medical records. GDM for therapy initiation was diagnosed according to WHO criteria. GDM was also retrospectively deined according to the new IADPSG-criteria (fasting plasma glucose >5,1 and < 7,0 mmol/l at the irst prenatal visit or by OGTT fasting glucose >5,1 and/or ? 10,0 mmol/l after 1 hour and/or ? 8,5 mmol/l after 2 hours at 24–32 gestation week). Results. GDM was detected in 25,1 % according to the old criteria and in 26,8 % women under the new criteria by OGTT. Fasting glucose at the irst prenatal visit between 5,1 mmol/l and 7,0 mmol/l (that is, GDM under the new criteria) was deined in 92 (28,1 %) of 327 women with known fasting blood glucose level. Only in 34 (37 %) of 92 women with fasting glycemia > 5,1 mmol/l at the irst prenatal visit the results of OGTT met the criteria for GDM (IADPSG) at 24–28 weeks gestation. Total incidence of GDM according to the new criteria (at the irst prenatal visit and after 24 weeks of pregnancy) was 43,4 %. Conclusions. Application of the new Russian criteria leads to a signiicant increase in the frequency of GDM, mainly due to the fasting glucose level at the irst prenatal visit. In women with GDM, diagnosed according to the IADPSG-criteria (but not WHO), such risk factors of GDM as heredity for diabetes mellitus and hypertension before pregnancy were more often identiied compared with women without GDM.

Published: December 2018

Objective. To assess office and outpatient blood pressure (BP) in patients with the persistent and masked hypertension (HTN) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).Design and methods. We enrolled 121 subjects with BP increase and verified OSAS by multifunctional monitoring including registration of electrocardiogram, BP and respiration (Кardiotekhnika 04-BP3 (M), St Petersburg, Russia) that were divided into 2 groups: patients with stable and masked HTN.Results. The groups differed by age, office and ambulatory BP in subjects younger 40 years. Males were prevalent among patients with OSAS and masked HTN. Smoking rate was also higher in this group. Both daytime and nocturnal BP were higher in subjects with OSAS and masked HTN. According to multiple regression analysis there were several predictors of masked HTN in OSAS patients: male gender, high normal BP, smoking and BP elevation at night.Conclusions. Multifunctional monitoring with the registration of BP and respiration is obligatory in patients with HTN and suspected sleep breathing disorders in order to diagnose latent HTN.

Published: December 2018

Abstract Sparse Principal Component Analysis (Sparse PCA) is one of the development of PCA. Sparse PCA modifies new variables as a linier combination of p old variables (original variable) which is yielded by PCA method. Modifying new variables is conducted by producing a loading yang sparse matrix, such that old variable which is not effective (value of loading is zero) able be exit from PCA. In this study, Sparse PCA method was applied on data of Indonesia Poverty population in 2015, that contains 13 variables and 34 observation with variable reduction such that yields 4 (four) new variables, which can explain 80.1% of total variance data. This study show, the loading matrix that has been yielded by using Sparse PCA method to become sparse with there exist 11 elements (loading value) zero entry of matrix, such that the model that has been produced to be simpler and easy to be interpreted.

On optimal system, exact solutions and conservation laws of the modified equal-width equation
Authors: Khalique Chaudry Masood , Adeyemo Oke Davies , Simbanefayi Innocent 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In this paper we study the modified equal-width equation, which is used in handling simulation of a single dimensional wave propagation in nonlinear media with dispersion processes. Lie point symmetries of this equation are computed and used to construct an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras. Thereafter using an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras, symmetry reductions and new group-invariant solutions are presented. The solutions obtained are cnoidal and snoidal waves. Furthermore, conservation laws for the modified equal-width equation are derived by employing two different methods, the multiplier method and Noether approach.
