Authors: Ajagallay Sarita , Mane Shobita K. , Singh Gambheer 
Published: May 2018

Background: The main objective of the current study to investigate that the association of serum-free t3 and t4 hormones in the patient with a severe traumatic injury.Methods: The study was conducted at the trauma center, the department of general surgery, Pt. J.N.M. Medical College and associated Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Memorial Hospital, Raipur, C.G. Total 77 participants were concluded in the present study. The patients with head injuries, chest injury and abdominal injury who sustained their trauma within 24hrs of admission, within the age group of patients are 10-82 years were included. Retrospective observational study design applied to the present study.Results: The free thyroid hormone (ft3 and ft4) at different time interval at admission, at 24hrs and at 5th day was within normal limit. At admission ft3 mean=1.5 pmol/l (sd=0.18), after 24 hrs and 5th day mean ft3 was 1.47 pmol/l (sd= 0.14). The serum-free t4 mean value at admission, at 24hrs and after 5th day was 0.71 pmol/l (sd=0.52).Conclusions: The deranged fT4 levels have a significant association with the severity of trauma and the role of hormone level prediction of the trauma victims has important mechanisms which remain an unexplored subject. The prediction of the status ft3 level of the patients paves way for exploring the method through which these could be of clinical use for the patient’s management.
Evaluation of patients undergoing cholecystectomy with special reference to post-cholecystectomy syndrome
Authors: Khatana P. S. , Kumar Jitendra , Sharma Deepak Kumar 
Published: May 2018

Background: Significant percentage of patients remain symptomatic even after the cholecystectomy surgery for gall stone disease. Traditionally, this has been termed Post-Cholecystectomy syndrome which may consist of same symptoms for which cholecystectomy was performed or it may be a new set of symptoms that have developed after cholecystectomy. Aim of this study to find out incidence as well as pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative determinants for the post- cholecystectomy syndrome.Methods: This is the prospective study, done in the Department of Surgery, Dr BSA Medical College and Hospital, New Delhi. Total 102 number of patients were included in this study, out of which 51 patients underwent open and another 51 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Results: The mean age of the patients was 40.29±10.69 years with an age range of 19 to 80 years. Incidence rate of post cholecystectomy symptoms were16.66% (n=17). Incidence of post-cholecystectomy syndrome in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were 15.69% (n=8) while in the open cholecystectomy group it was 17.64% (n=9). Out of seventeen symptomatic patients, eight (47.05%) were having the biliary disease while nine patients (52.95%) were having non-biliary cause.Conclusions: As authors studied present symptomatic group of patients thoroughly, it has become clear that the post-cholecystectomy symptoms are multiple and diverse arising from various causes; which in reality has no relation with the removal of gall bladder. Hence the appellation ‘post-cholecystectomy syndrome is inappropriate and instead we have used the term ‘Post-Cholecystectomy Symptoms’ for these patients.
Licofelone Attenuates LPS-induced Depressive-like Behavior in Mice: A Possible Role for Nitric Oxide
Authors: Mousavi Seyyedeh Elaheh , Saberi Pegah , Ghasemkhani Naeemeh , Fakhraei Nahid , Mokhtari Rezvan , Dehpour Ahmad Reza 
Published: May 2018

PURPOSE: Licofelone, a dual cyclooxygenase/5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, possesses antioxidant, antiapoptotic, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of licofelone on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depression in a mouse model and also a possible role for nitric oxide (NO). METHODS: To elucidate the role of NO on this effect of licofelone (5 and 20 mg/kg, i.p.), L-NAME, a non-specific NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor; aminoguanidine (AG), a specific inducible NOS (iNOS) inhibitor; 7-nitroindazole (7-NI) a preferential neuronal NOS inhibitor (nNOS) and; L-arginine (L-Arg), as a NO donor, were used. The animal's behaviors were evaluated employing forced swimming test (FST), tail suspension test (TST) and open field test (OFT). RESULTS: LPS (0.83 mg/kg, i.p.) induced depressive-like behavior increasing immobility time in FST and TST. Conversely, licofelone (20 mg/kg i.p.) reversed the depressive effect of LPS and lowered the immobility time in FST and TST. On the other hand, pretreatment with L-Arg also reversed the antidepressant-like effect of licofelone (20 mg/kg) in FST and TST. On the other hand, L-NAME (10 and 30 mg/kg), AG (50 and 100 mg/kg) and 7-NI (60 mg/kg) could potentiate licofelone (5 mg/kg) and lowered the immobility duration. CONCLUSIONS: NO down-regulation possibly through iNOS and nNOS inhibition may involve in the antidepressant property of licofelone. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

An Update on Drug-induced Oral Reactions
Authors: Yousefi Hila , Abdollahi Mohammas 
Published: May 2018

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are one of the major culprits in the development of oral lesions, which can be misdiagnosed with underlying diseases. The goal of this study is to summarize and update the current knowledge about drug-induced oral reactions. Electronic searches were performed in Scopus, Google Scholar, Cochrane and PubMed databases, for articles published between January 2008 and August 2017. Two authors screened the titles and abstracts for eligibility. Finally, 56 studies included in this review. There was no systematic homogeneity in the included studies; thereby no meta-analysis was performed. The most frequent oral ADR was xerostomia,andthe most reported cause was antihypertensive medications. Cardiovascular drugs were the most reported culprit agents for induction of oral ulcerative and vesiculo-bullous lesions, followed by methotrexate. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and β-blockers were found the most common responsible drugs for induction of oral lichen planus. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

Implicações éticas na proposição de comportamentos-objetivo a partir da perspectiva behaviorista radical
Authors: Carvalho Gislayne De Souza , Da Silva Sarah Zuliani , Kienen Nádia , De Melo Camila Muchon 
Published: May 2018

O objetivo deste estudo é discutir implicações éticas na proposição de comportamentos-objetivo, pautadas pela filosofia do Behaviorismo Radical. Trabalhos que abordam tecnologias como contribuições da Análise do Comportamento à Educação e que se referem à contextualização do desenvolvimento de uma tecnologia de ensino que teve sua história no Sistema Personalizado de Instrução (PSI) de Keller e atualmente conhecida como “Programação de Condições de Desenvolvimento de Comportamentos” foram selecionados, bem como trabalhos relacionados à ética behaviorista radical. Após a identificação do núcleo da ética behaviorista radical, foi possível estabelecer relações entre essa e a proposição de comportamentos-objetivo considerando qualquer contexto de aprendizagem. Constatou-se que, independente de quem venha a intervir por meio de ensino, esse profissional deve ser capaz de identificar e descrever as contingências que controlam o seu comportamento de propor comportamentos-objetivo e aquelas que controlam o comportamento a ser desenvolvido pelo aprendiz. Tomados esses cuidados, prima-se por questões relevantes à uma ética behaviorista: equilíbrio ao considerar o desenvolvimento do indivíduo e o fortalecimento da cultura da qual ele faz parte, o que favorece o reforçamento de comportamentos tanto na esfera ontogenética quanto cultural. Estabelecer comportamentos relevantes a serem ensinados significa realizar uma avaliação ética preliminar que visa ao benefício da sociedade e do próprio indivíduo que aprende.
Uncaring Nurses: Mobilizing Power, Knowledge, Difference, and Resistance to Explain Workplace Violence in Academia
Authors: Berquist Renee , St-Pierre Isabelle , Holmes Dave 
Published: May 2018

Background and Purpose:Violence among nurses and in nursing academia is a significant issue, with attention increasingly focused on damage resulting from psychological violence, such as bullying, harassment, aggression, and incivility. Each workplace’s interpretation of violence will impact individual behavior within the organization. Organizational and environmental factors can contribute to violent behaviors becoming normalized in the workplace. When violent behaviors go unconstrained, they become imbedded within the workplace culture. An increased understanding of workplace culture is required to address workplace violence. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the use of this theoretical framework can provide greater understanding of the role of workplace culture in sustaining violent behaviors in nursing academia.Methods:The theoretical perspectives of Gail Mason on interpersonal violence and Michel Foucault on power were utilized to inform the research process and guide data analysis.Results:The framework makes possible the exposure of a dominant discourse perpetuating violence in nursing academia. Power and violence were found to work together to shape knowledge and influence group norms and behaviors.Implications for Practice:The framework is useful in providing greater understanding of how the concepts of power, knowledge, difference, and resistance support the enactment of workplace violence. Investigating the influence of these concepts in the development of accepted practices and discourses may allow greater insight into ways violence and power are used to negotiate and enforce organizational rules and norms.
Un nuevo sistema para la medición de la motilidad ocular utilizando un computador personal
Authors: Lalama Guerrero Gabriel Alejandro 
Published: May 2018

Se presenta una evaluación de las características operativas de una nueva aplicación computarizada, PC Hess, para la medición de la motilidad ocular utilizando un computador. Objetivo: determinar las características operativas de la aplicación computarizada PC Hess en comparación con la pantalla de Hess–Lancaster en pacientes con y sin diagnostico de estrabismo. Metodología: se evaluó un prototipo de la aplicación en un ambiente clínico con una muestra de 73 pacientes que acudieron a centros optométricos y oftalmológicos en Bogotá, Colombia, con y sin diagnóstico de problemas oculomotores, y comparados con una pantalla de Hess–Lancaster tradicional. A todos los pacientes se les realizaron las dos pruebas con un intervalo de descanso de quince minutos entre cada una. Se realizó una prueba de sensibilidad y especificidad para la aplicación computarizada y se midieron los índices de correlación de Pearson para datos normales en los diferentes puntos de examinación de la prueba. Resultados: en términos generales, las formas de los campos oculomotores obtenidos usando los dos instrumentos fueron similares, pero la aplicación computarizada tendió a medir un leve desplazamiento convergente en comparación con Hess–Lancaster y a reportar desviaciones más grandes. Sin embargo, el valor de sensibilidad y especificidad de la aplicación fue de 1. Conclusión: la aplicación computarizada PC Hess es una alternativa viable para la pantalla Hess–Lancaster.

Prismoterapia en el preoperatorio de las exotropias intermitentes y su efecto en el postoperatorio en niños entre 2 y 11 años de edad
Authors: Ronderos Escamilla Neida 
Published: May 2018

El propósito del estudio fue comparar la influencia de la prismoterapia en el resultado postoperatorio de las exotropias intermitentes con seguimiento de un año. Metodología: se realizó un estudio prospectivo en 28 niños de 2 a 11 años de edad, examinados en el departamento de oftalmología de la clínica Colsubsidio, con exotropias intermitentes primarias entre 20 y 40 dioptrías prismáticas. Como criterio de inclusión se tuvo en cuenta la edad, el ángulo de la desviación y la presencia de exotropias intermitentes primarias. La muestra fue distribuida aleatoriamente en dos grupos, uno de los cuales fue prismado con prismas de Fresnel por 4 semanas, previas a la cirugía simétrica del estrabismo mientras el otro grupo no. Se evaluó el resultado postoperatorio en los dos grupos y se tuvo en cuenta la probabilidad de reintervenciones quirúrgicas. Los resultados clínicos fueron mejores en el grupo prismado, en cuanto a ángulo residual postoperatorio y a la respuesta de estereopsis. La posibilidad de reintervenciones fue menor en el grupo prismado. Estadísticamente no hubo una diferencia significativa en la respuesta de ambos grupos.

The aim of the research was to study the effect of kind of mulches, farmyard manure dosages (FYM), and their interaction on available potassium and yield of soybean on Vertisol. The experiment was conducted at green house on July to December 2002. Soil analysis was done at Soil Science Laboratory, Agriculture Faculty, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. It was arranged in <em>Completely Randomized Design (CDR) </em>with two factor and each treatment combination replicated three times. The first factor was kinds of mulch i.e. without mulch, rice straw at 5 ton/ha, and rice hull at 5 ton/ha. The second one was farmyard manure (FYM) dosage, i.e. 0,6 and 12 ton FYM/ha. Data analyzed for F Test and DMRT at 5% significancy and Stepwise Regresion to predict the optimum of soybean yield. The result showed that both kind of mulch and FYM influence available potassium at maximum vegetative phase of soybean, while their interaction significant on available K at harvested time, seed weight/plant and weight of 100 seeds. Available K increase coinside with FYM dosage. Stepwise Regression Analysis showed that treatment combination for the optimum of available-K at maximum vegetative phase, available-K at harvest time, seed weight/plant, and weight of 100 seeds were rice straw mulch and 2,76 ton FYM/ha, rice straw mulch and 0,035 ton FYM/ha, rice full mulch and 2,57 ton FYM/ha, and rice straw mulch and 1,1017 ton FYM/ha respectively
A Physics-Based Data-Driven Model for History Matching, Prediction, and Characterization of Unconventional Reservoirs

Published: May 2018

Summary
We developed a physics-based data-driven model for history matching, prediction, and characterization of unconventional reservoirs. It uses 1D numerical simulation to approximate 3D problems. The 1D simulation is formulated in a dimensionless space by introducing a new diffusive diagnostic function (DDF). For radial and linear flow, the DDF is shown analytically to be a straight line with a positive or zero slope. Without any assumption of flow regime, the DDF can be obtained in a data-driven manner by means of history matching using the ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation (ES-MDA). The history-matched ensemble of DDFs offers diagnostic characteristics and probabilistic predictions for unconventional reservoirs.
Bold Women of the Warlpiri Diaspora Who Went Too Far
Authors: Burke Paul 
Published: May 2018

This chapter attempts to move beyond traditionalist notions of the Australian Aboriginal person. It accepts that personhood is porous and likely to change as general social conditions change. It explores this idea through mini-biographies of four Warlpiri matriarchs who have moved to diaspora locations and deliberately placed themselves at some distance from the social norms operating in their remote homeland settlements. Accounts of traditional Aboriginal personhood emphasised the spiritually emplaced and socially embedded person. In contrast, the lives of the four Warlpiri matriarchs demonstrate the extension of social networks beyond kin, pursuit of their own projects and the rejection of some aspects of traditional law that constrained them. The vectors of these changes include Western education, religious conversion and escape from traditional marriage.
