Published: August 2019

Abstract

Background
We aimed to analyze the success rate of external cephalic version (ECV) for breech presentations performed in our center between March 2011 and March 2016. We evaluated factors related to a successful ECV, delivery mode, complications and newborn status after ECV.

Methods
Analysis of assembled data of 327 consecutive ECVs in the third trimester was done.

Results
The total success rate was 56.6%. After a successful ECV, 85.9% of the fetuses were delivered vaginally. Logistic regression analysis of background factors leading to a successful ECV showed that tocolysis with ritodrine and anterior placenta were each significantly correlated with the rate of successful version. No severe complications were registered during the ECVs, and all babies had normal Apgar scores at delivery.

Conclusion
These findings suggest that attempting an ECV in breech presentations, once or even twice, seems to be an appropriate management given that a successful ECV decreases the rate of cesarean section in this group of patients and by doing so, it might also decrease the risk of cesarean sections in future pregnancies.

Abstract

Background
Acute diarrhea is the second most common cause of child deaths worldwide. We investigated Salmonella species (spp.), Campylobacter spp., Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Shigella spp./enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) in stool samples of 741 pediatric patients with acute diarrheal illness.

Methods
Between January 2017 and October 2017, 741 stool specimens were tested by the BD Max Enteric Bacterial Panel (EBP) assay and conventional culture.

Results
Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp. and E. coli O157:H7 were detected in 10 (1.3%), 20 (2.7%) and two (0.3%) stool specimens by culture, respectively. Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp., Shiga toxin and Shigella/EIEC were detected in 46 (6.2%), 37 (5.0%), 20 (2.7%) and three (0.4%) stool specimens by the BD Max EBP assay, respectively. The percentage of detected pathogens was 4.3% (32/741) by culture. Use of the BD Max EBP assay identified an additional 112 pathogens, thereby increasing the frequency to 15.1% (112/741). Empirically, 58 patients received antibiotics and 43 patients underwent probiotic and/or symptomatic therapy.

Conclusions
We concluded that nucleic acid amplification testing markedly improves the detection rates of bacterial stool pathogens and offers rapid results.
Storyways: Visualising Saintly Impact in a North Atlantic Maritime Landscape
Authors: Gibbon Sarah Jane , Moore James 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
This paper presents a new methodological approach and theorising framework which visualises intangible landscapes. The Cult of Saint Magnus of Orkney (martyred c.AD1117 and canonised c.1135) is presented as a case study to demonstrate how spatial and temporal veneration can be explored in the landscape. The transferability of this methodology extends to any multi-source study where memories link to landscape features (past or present). St Magnus dedications, altars and church furnishings in Scandinavia and Britain demonstrate his international recognition, but aside from three Magnus dedicated churches, little is known of his veneration within Orkney. By using GIS to map archaeological, onomastic, folkloric, historic and hagiographic evidence of veneration we have visualised the impact of the Cult of Magnus since martyrdom to recent times for the first time. Furthermore, by visually differentiating between sources, we’ve distinguished the variability and variety of evidence, thus identifying concentrated pockets of veneration through time. Additionally, by linking evidence locations, we have identified ‘remembered’ routeways – storyways. In doing so, we have mapped the impact of Magnus as a saint, his value to particular communities and his continuing influence.
Statistical Evaluation of the Effects of Mix Design Properties on Performance Indices of Asphalt Mixtures
Authors: Nemati Rasool , Dave Eshan V. , Sias Jo E. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
A variety of testing and performance index parameters are available to assess the asphalt mixture performance with respect to different structural distresses. However, because of continuous improvements in asphalt material production and construction techniques, it is necessary to regularly evaluate the correlation of the performance index parameters with mixture design properties. It is also important to determine the correlation between index parameters from different tests to help save time and financial resources by making engineering-based adjustments to the mixture design before conducting multiple tests. This study explores the statistical correlation between mixture design properties and performance index parameters as well as the correlations among the performance index parameters from different tests. A total of 14 commonly used asphalt mixtures in New Hampshire were evaluated using the complex modulus (E*), resilient modulus (Mr), direct tension cyclic fatigue (S-VECD), Semicircular bend Illinois flexibility index (SCB-IFIT), and disk-shaped compact tension (DCT) tests to assess the correlations between various performance indices and mix design properties. The results indicate that the aggregate fractions that pass 4.75 mm and 75 μm sieve sizes, the binder’s useful temperature interval, and recycled asphalt content significantly affect most of the index parameters. Medium-to-high correlations were observed between S-VECD, DCT, and SCB-IFIT with respect to different index parameters.
Estimation for Better Inference in Neuroscience
Authors: Calin-Jageman Robert J. , Cumming Geoff 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThe estimation approach to inference emphasizes reporting effect sizes with expressions of uncertainty (interval estimates). In this perspective we explain the estimation approach and describe how it can help nudge neuroscientists toward a more productive research cycle by fostering better planning, more thoughtful interpretation, and more balanced evaluation of evidence.

Published: August 2019

Objective
Hypertension and symptoms of catecholamine excess are features of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs). This prospective observational cohort study assessed whether differences in presenting features in patients tested for PPGLs might assist establishing likelihood of disease.

Design and methods
Patients were tested for PPGLs because of signs and symptoms, an incidental mass on imaging or routine surveillance due to previous history or hereditary risk. Patients with (n = 245) compared to without (n = 1820) PPGLs were identified on follow-up. Differences in presenting features were then examined to assess the probability of disease and relationships to catecholamine excess.

Results
Hyperhidrosis, palpitations, pallor, tremor and nausea were 30–90% more prevalent (P < 0.001) among patients with than without PPGLs, whereas headache, flushing and other symptoms showed little or no differences. Although heart rates were higher (P < 0.0001) in patients with than without PPGLs, blood pressures were not higher and were positively correlated to BMI, which was lower (P < 0.0001) in patients with than without PPGLs. From these differences in clinical features, a score system was established that indicated a 5.8-fold higher probability of PPGLs in patients with high than low scores. Higher scores among patients with PPGLs were associated, independently of tumor size, with higher biochemical indices of catecholamine excess.

Conclusions
This study identifies a complex of five signs and symptoms combined with lower BMI and elevated heart rate as key features in patients with PPGLs. Prevalences of these features, which reflect variable tumoral catecholamine production, may be used to triage patients according to likelihood of disease.
Improving Care for Infants With Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome: A Multicenter, Community Hospital–Based Study
Authors: Parlaman Joshua , Deodhar Parimal , Sanders Virginia , Jerome Jennifer , McDaniel Corrie 
Published: August 2019

BACKGROUND:
For infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in children’s hospitals, treatment protocols emphasizing nonpharmacologic care have revealed improved hospital outcomes. We sought to improve NAS care within the community hospital setting through the implementation of an Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) protocol.

METHODS:
Using a multidisciplinary quality improvement approach, we implemented an ESC protocol at 2 community hospitals. Primary outcomes were to decrease length of stay (LOS) by 20% and decrease scheduled morphine use to &lt;20%. Balancing measures included transfer to a higher level of care and unplanned 30-day readmissions. Data were extracted over 2 years, from 2017 through 2018. Interventions included an emphasis on nonpharmacologic care, the initiation of 1-time morphine dosing, flexible weaning schedules for infants on morphine, and the use of ESC scoring. Data were analyzed by using statistical process control.

RESULTS:
A total of 304 NAS patients were admitted from January 2017 to December 2018, with 155 during the postintervention period. After implementation, mean LOS decreased from 9.0 to 6.2 days, and morphine use decreased from 57% to 23%, both with special cause variation. There were 2 unplanned readmissions in the postintervention period compared with 1 preintervention and no transfers to higher level of care in either period.

CONCLUSIONS:
Implementation of a nonpharmacologic care protocol within 2 community hospitals led to significant and sustained improvement in LOS and morphine exposure without compromising safety. In this study, we illustrate that evidence-based practice can be successfully implemented and sustained within community hospitals treating infants with NAS.

Published: August 2019

OBJECTIVES:
Opioid-exposed neonates (OENs) are a population at risk for postdischarge complications. Our objective was to improve completion of a discharge bundle to connect patients with outpatient resources to mitigate postdischarge risks.

METHODS:
Team Hope, a hospital-wide initiative to improve the care of OENs, examined the completion of a discharge bundle from September 2017 through February 2019. A complete discharge bundle was defined as referral to a primary care physician, referral to early intervention services, referral to in-home nursing assessment and educational services, referral to the development clinic if diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome, and referral to the gastroenterology or infectious disease clinic if exposed to hepatitis C virus. After obtaining baseline data, simple interventions were employed as education of providers, social workers, and case management; reminder notes in the electronic health record; and biweekly reminders to resident physicians. A statistical process control chart was used to analyze our primary measure, with special cause variation resulting in a shift indicated by 8 consecutive points above or below the mean line.

RESULTS:
One hundred nineteen OENs were examined with an initial discharge bundle completion of 2.6% preimplementation. Referral to early intervention services and the development clinic were the least successfully completed elements before intervention implementation. After the development of the discharge bundle in July 2018, special cause variation was achieved, resulting in a mean-line shift with 60.3% now having a complete bundle for 83 OENs.

CONCLUSIONS:
We implemented a standardized discharge bundle that improved our discharge processes for OENs.

Osteometry of the human spine at the age of maturity in the Ural region
Authors: Men’shchikova I A 
Published: August 2019

Aim. To reveal the patterns of the changes of osteometric characteristics of the adults living in the Ural region.
Methods. 56 cadavers of human beings at the age of maturity were analyzed (28 women aged 21 to 55 years, and 28 men aged 22 to 60 years) being the residents of the Ural region. The scheme recommended by the Symposium on Age Periodization at the Institute of Age Physiology in 1969, was used for distribution by age groups. Osteometry and statistical method were used.
Results. In the cervical spine, the greatest sagittal size was determined in the spinal process of the VII cervical vertebra (30.9±1.79 mm), in the thoracic spine — in the VII thoracic vertebra (41.5±2.4 mm), and in lumbar spine — in the III lumbar vertebra (36.4±0.95 mm). The frontal size of vertebral bodies increased from overlying vertebrae to underlying ones, however, the decrease in the frontal size of vertebral bodies was noted from the I thoracic to the VI thoracic vertebra, and starting from the VII thoracic vertebra its further increase was observed. The sagittal size of vertebral body increased only from the II cervical vertebra to the III lumbar one. The sagittal size of the bodies of the III–V vertebrae was within the range of 32–34 mm. The sizes of vertebral arch pedicle allow conducting the transpedicular fixation at the level of all vertebrae, but it should be taken into account that in V and VI thoracic vertebrae frontal size of arch pedicle is the least as compared to other levels. The frontal sizes of spinal canal were more than sagittal ones at the levels of all vertebrae, with the exception of atlas and the V thoracic vertebra.
Conclusion. The results can serve as the basis for performing any surgical interventions on the spine and as the norm for evaluation of its pathological changes.
As narrativas de escravos e a construção da identidade coletiva do Outro afro-americano
Authors: Spacini Nakanishi Débora 
Published: August 2019

Este trabalho pretende elucidar a construção da identidade do afro-americano a partir da imagem do Outro, imposta aos escravos dos Estados Unidos no século XIX, por meio das narrativas de escravos. Tais textos, produzidos pelos próprios, mostram-se um esforço para recusar a imagem do Outro e humanizá-los. Faremos, primeiramente, um breve panorama do sistema escravagista estadunidense para que possamos compreender como ele desumaniza o homem negro, apoiando-nos em autores como Gates Jr.e McKay (2004) e Coombs (2008). Em seguida, procuramos entender as motivações para a produção das narrativas de escravos e como elas contribuem com a construção da identidade coletiva do escravo. Baseamo-nos em autores como Olney (1984), Bauer (2015), Roy (2015), entre outros. Faremos, finalmente, uma rápida análise de 12 anos de escravidão, procurando explicitar as especificidades da autobiografia de Solomon Northup, pertencente ao gênero, mas que se faz única de diversas maneiras.

KRITIKA DIJAGNOZE POREMEĆAJA LIČNOSTI U AKTUELNIM KLASIFIKACIJAMA: PERSPEKTIVA SOCIJALNOG KONSTRUKTIVIZMA
Authors: Lazic Milica M 
Published: August 2019

Osnovni cilj ovog preglednog rada je da ponudi alternativnu perspektivu razumevanja problema u funkcionisanju, koji su u aktuelnim klasifikacijama imenovani kao poremećaji ličnosti. Kroz pristup socijalnog konstruktivizma, kao i koz kritiku postojećih klasifikacionih sistema u konceptualnom i metodološkom smislu, ponuđen je predlog za promenu shvatanja dijagnoze poremećaja ličnosti. Pregledom istraživanja je stavljen akcenat na to da definisanje, određenje i prevalenca normalnosti u domenu ličnosti, zavisi kako od kulture u kojoj se normalnost definiše, tako i od usaglašenosti između osobina ličnosti određene osobe i kulture u kojoj je odrasla ili u koju je migrirala. Ponuđeni pregled istraživanja vodi autore u pravcu toga da predlože preispitivanje shvatanja i definisanja poremećaja ličnosti kao problema adaptacije. Ovaj termin naglašava potrebu za razumevanjem šireg aspekta faktora nastanka, razvoja i održavanja problema, ali i nudi mnogo alternativnih načina u razumevanju pristupa problemima adaptacije. Pored konceptualnih problema, u radu su diskutovani i metodološki problemi aktuelnih klasifikacija koji ukazuju na to da su one nepouzdane, nevalidne i da ne ispunjavaju kriterijume dobrog klasifikovanja.
