Abstract: Introduction: The screening of perinatal depression was introduced in Szeged in April 2011. Aim: Our aim was to assess the extent of perinatal mood changing and to explore the risk factors of it. Method: Perinatal nurses gave the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale to the 3849 participants four times. Results: In the first trimester were the highest average scores (3.74) and pathological rate (10.8%) compared to the other measurement occasions. There was a positive correlation between the scores of the measurement occasions. The higher average scores related to the epidural anesthesia almost significantly, but significantly to the low birth weight, unplanned pregnancies, younger and older age, single marital status and multiparity of the participant. Conclusions: Even the first trimester is sensitive to pathological mood changes, which besides with other factors could be risk factors to postpartum depression. To avoid this it is important to continue the screening and provide adequate help. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(4), 139–146.
Doctoral Students Becoming Researchers: An Innovative Curriculum
Authors: Garson Deborah S. 
Published: January 2017

Creating a quality literature review is fundamental to doctoral student professionalization, yet research into how the literature review is taught, learned, or experienced is limited. Responding to this under-addressed but critical key to doctoral education, the focus of this mixed methods study is on students’ perceptions of a year-long course, co-taught by a faculty member and embedded librarian, devoted specifically to addressing the literature review. Analysis of students’ course evaluations and written reflections/feedback over an eight year period revealed four primary themes: 1) Entering students’ technological know-how does not guarantee effective information literacy skill and without the requisite skills one-shot library workshops are insufficient for making learning whole; 2) Rather than conceiving of the literature review as a product, constructing a literature review represents a pivotal process in doctoral students’ research and literacy skill development; 3) Creating a literature review, and the process it entails, signals in students the development of their professional researcher identity, involving movement beyond “how to” to address questions of “why” and “for whom”; 4) The literature review course was experienced as a substantively different course than is typical in the doctoral experience, mirroring the course’s foundational assumption that librarians, instructors, and learners share agency in creating the literature review process. The course curriculum is framed by two simultaneous learning streams: information literacy competencies and student research agenda. The course curriculum aligns information literacy competencies and research methodology with the goal of exploring and purposefully integrating creativity and curiosity in the search and research construction process.
Teaching the Next Generation of Information Literacy Educators: Pedagogy and Learning
Authors: Webber Sheila , McKinney Pam 
Published: January 2017

The aim of this presentation is to compare key aspects of learning in two core information literacy (IL) modules, one delivered to a face-to-face cohort (MA Librarianship) and one to distance learners (MA Library and Information Service Management). Graduates of these programmes (delivered by the University of Sheffield iSchool, UK) often pursue careers that require excellent personal Information Literacy (IL) and the ability to teach IL to others. Inskip’s research (2015) identified that these are subjects that library and information (LIS) students want to learn, and Saunders et al.’s (2015) international study found that LIS students’ IL requires development.Our modules aim to develop the students’ understanding of themselves as information literate citizens and teachers, and introduce them to theories and models in the fields of IL and information behavior, teaching and learning. The modules include a practical strand (searching, evaluating, using (etc.) information) and assessment is through coursework.Using Entwistle et al.’s (2004) model of the Teaching and Learning Environment (TLE), we will map key elements (e.g. learner characteristics, approaches of teachers, course design) relevant to the quality of learning. We will also look at three “layers” of teaching: (1) overall pedagogic beliefs and institutional policies, (2) design for learning (overall planning for achieving learning outcomes), and (3) techniques, tools and methods used. We will draw on documentation, reflection and (with cooperation from learners) material created by learners during, and subsequent to, the modules.Through the use of the TLE model we will surface differences in the experience of face-to-face and distance learners and also differences in development of their personal IL and pedagogic knowledge for IL.

Simple cholecystectomy versus radical resection for stage Ⅱ gallbladder cancer: a meta-analysis
Authors: Cheng Zheng-jun , Qiu Chan , Li Da-xing , Gong Jian-ping , Cheng Qian 
Published: January 2017

Background: GBC was first reported more than two hundred years ago, but the poor therapeutic effect for GBC patients is still frustrating now, the 5-year survival rate is no more than 5%, and the mean survival time is only about half a year. The objective of this study was to evaluate the importance of radical resection in the treatment of Nevin II and T1b stage gallbladder cancer (stage II GBC) by analyzing the survival rate and tumor recurrence rate after accepting simple cholecystectomy (SC) and radical resection (RR).Methods: PubMed, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases was searched from inception to February 2016. Quality assessment was conducted in each of the available studies by using the validated Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) for cohort and case-control studies. Publication bias was also assessed by using a funnel plot. The odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were employed to estimated effect size. All statistical analyses were carried out using Rev Man 5.2 software.Results: A total of fifteen studies encompassing 424 patients meeting the search criteria were included. Pooled analyses revealed that comparing to simple cholecystectomy, radical resection can significantly increase the 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rate of patients with stage IIGBC (OR = 3.28, 95% CI: 1.83-5.89, P<0.0001; OR = 2.52, 95% CI: 1.49-4.28, P = 0.0006; OR = 3.19, 95% CI: 1.85-5.51, P<0.0001), and patients after radical resection have a significant lower tumor recurrence rate (OR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.11-0.80, P = 0.02).Conclusions: The short- and long-term survival rate of patients with stage II GBC following radical resection is obviously higher than that of patients receiving simple cholecystectomy, and the tumor recurrence rate is obviously lower. Radical resection would be a better choice for stage IIGBC.

Authors: Hartimath Basavanandswami C. , Sangma Mima Maychet B. 
Published: January 2017

Background: Chronic lower limb ischaemia is a clinical entity comprising of etiologies such as atherosclerosis, thromboangitis obliterans and other rare forms of non-specific and specific arteritis like SLE, Rheumatoid arteritis etc. In western countries atherosclerosis predominates, but in Indian subcontinent, TAO is much more common.Methods: A good clinical history and detailed clinical examination was done with the presumptive diagnosis of either TAO or Atherosclerosis. The degree of the vascular insufficiency and the extent of the disease were assessed clinically by noting the severity of the symptoms, ankle brachial index, temperature changes and assessment of pulsations. Doppler study was done in all patients. After a presumptive diagnosis, an essential laboratory investigation was done. Some of the patients were managed conservatively and others underwent surgery. The operative treatment was based on the symptoms and patient’s condition, with lumbar sympathectomy and amputations.Results: Chronic lower limb ischaemia accounts for 1.12% of all surgical admissions in a period of one year. Only two diagnosis were found in our study, namely Atherosclerosis obliterens (8 cases) and TAO (42) cases. Out of the 50 cases, 40 patients underwent some form of surgical treatment. Four patients were managed conservatively and 6 patients refused surgery. Both subjective improvements in pain relief and temperature were noted in 23 patients. Three patients did not show any changes, and 2 patients had progression of the disease and underwent below knee amputation later in the same study period.Conclusions: Though the role of lumbar sympathectomy had been debated in the recent past as a treatment modality for chronic lower limb ischaemia, it still remained an important interventional measure in limb salvage with good results.

Published: January 2017

Background: Solitary nodule thyroid is one of the common surgical problems and incidence of malignancy is also high compared to multinodular goiter. If you can avoid aggressive surgery in benign cases, we can reduce the occurrence of complications. So it’s important to look for the malignant predictors. The aim of the study was to evaluate the malignant predictors in solitary nodule thyroid.Methods: Total of 80 patients with solitary thyroid nodule were included in prospective study. The study was done from January 2015 to January 2016.Results: Most of the malignant cases are occurring in females’ middle age group. Most common one found to be papillary. Experienced radiologist can clearly detect malignancy preoperatively. Most common finding in USS is solid internal architecture.Conclusions: Solitary thyroid nodule is a common problem encountered in the surgical department and it has got a high malignant potential.
Gastrointestinal perforations: a tertiary care center experience
Authors: Devi Parimala S. , Manikantan Ganesh , M. Chisthi Meer 
Published: January 2017

Background: In spite of the advances in surgical techniques and antimicrobial molecules, gastrointestinal perforations still remain highly fatal. Delay in diagnosis as well as referral is often attributed to be the cause behind the high mortality caused by this condition. The aim of the study was to elucidate the etiological factors of gastro intestinal perforation as well as postoperative outcome among patients undergoing treatment at a tertiary care centre.Methods: This was a Descriptive study of patients admitted with gastro intestinal perforation in the General Surgical wards of Government Medical College, Trivandrum from March 2014 to February 2015. The demographic, clinical, operative and post-operative findings were entered into a structured performa and analyzed statistically.Results: Atraumatic perforation was found to predominate over traumatic perforations. Most of the atraumatic perforations belong to the age groups between 21 and 30. Also, there is a high male predominance among these patients. Proximal gastrointestinal tract injuries predominate much more than distal ones. Increased morbidity is seen if there are associated co morbidities and risk factors including smoking and alcohol abuse. Mortality rate is highest in traumatic injuries involving colon and rectums.Conclusions: Mortality due to perforation peritonitis is still a challenge to the surgeon and burden to the society. Early diagnosis and treatment will positively alter the outcome of a gastrointestinal perforation and can be ensured only by timely arrival of the patients to hospital and subsequently by early intervention. This in turn depends mostly on strengthening the primary care and referral services.

Authors: M. S. Anitha , Nandimath Viresh A. , Bandichhode Sachin T. 
Published: January 2017

Background: Snake bite is an occupational hazard especially of agricultural workers. Through snake bite venom, a complex mixture of various enzymes, polypeptides and toxins are injected into body of the victim. Clinical features of snake bite include local effects such as pain, swelling, cellulitis, tissue necrosis and lymphadenopathy. Snake bite and its common complications like nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity and haemorrhagic manifestations have always been stressed. The cardiovascular abnormalities following snake bite was relatively less stressed complication; hence the present study has been conducted. Aim of the study was to observe clinical, electrocardiographic and cardiac changes following snake bite.Methods: Present prospective study has been conducted in emergency ward of medicine department of K. R. Hospital, Mysore, India during the period from July 2004 to May 2005.Results: In the present study 80% of cases were in second and third decade of life. Male patients were outnumbered female patients. 70% of cases were from agricultural background. Distal part of the body was the most common site involved in snake bite, 82% of cases presented within 24 hours of snake bite. Cardiac manifestations were seen in 36% of cases in the form of hypotension, ECG changes and elevated cardiac enzymes.Conclusions: Cardiovascular system involvement following snake bite was not rare, it was mandatory to record ECG and estimate cardiac enzymes as soon as possible in detecting cardiotoxic effects following snake bite.

Published: January 2017

Background: Dengue is the most common mosquito borne endemo-epidemic arboviral infection in many of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Dengue virus (DEN) is a small single-stranded RNA virus comprising of four distinct serotypes (DEN-1 to -4). Dengue virus infections were grouped into three categories: undifferentiated fever, dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF). This study was done to analyze the clinical, biochemical and hematological parameters of dengue fever.Methods: 100 patients admitted to AMC / IMC / WARDS of Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital Warangal, Telangana, India during the period November 2012 - October 2013, presenting with acute febrile illness who are IgM seropositive for dengue and satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients belonging to the age group of above 12 years, belonging to both sexes were selected and included in the study group.Results: A total of 100 patients admitted to our hospital with fever and IgM dengue positive were studied. Out of 100 patients, 81 (81%) patients were diagnosed to have DF. 10 (10%) patients were diagnosed to have dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and 9 (9%) patients were diagnosed to have dengue shock syndrome (DSS) based on WHO criteria. The present study included 53 (53%) male patients and 47 (47%) female patients. Male to female ratio is 1.13:1.Conclusions: In our study classical dengue fever was the most common clinical presentation followed by complicated forms such as dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. On investigation deranged liver function tests, renal function tests, ascites, hepatospleenomegaly on ultrasonography and pleural effusion on chest radiography are more commonly seen in patients with DHF and DSS. Platelet count does not correlate with the severity of the disease.

Authors: Lohani Naman , Dixit Sumeet 
Published: January 2017

Background: Biomedical waste (BMW) is generated in every health facility, which if not disposed off properly poses a risk for health and environment. Handling, segregation, mutilation, disinfection, storage, transportation and final disposal are vital steps for safe and scientific management of biomedical waste in any establishment. The objective were to assess the biomedical waste management (BMWM) practices and knowledge regarding BMWM in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: A descriptive study was carried out in the tertiary care hospital during July and August 2014. Hospital waste management practices were observed by making visits to the waste collection sites at different sites of the hospital and for assessment of knowledge regarding waste management a total of 113 health care personnel were interviewed.Results: The overall mean score for “Condition of waste receptacles” was 44.3%. The mean score for segregation of waste was 77%, for mutilation of recyclable waste the mean score was 88% and the disinfection mean score was 72%. There were some good practices observed like presence of posters regarding disposal of BMW in most places, availability of gloves, masks etc. to the workers collecting BMW .There was no separate route for transport of biomedical waste. The knowledge regarding BMWM was not satisfactory among the participants and scope of improvement is there.Conclusions: While there were some good practices observed, there were inconsistencies observed regarding BMWM in the hospital.

Published: January 2017

Background: Adults in India are affected by dual burden of malnutrition such as over nutrition and under nutrition. Literature suggests that only 52% of women and 57% of men are at a normal weight for their height. Objectives: To estimate the nutritional status of women in the reproductive age group in rural Kolar and to estimate various socio-demographic factors associated with the nutritional status of women.Methods: Community based Cross-sectional study was conducted in rural field practice areas of Medical College for 6 months. 180 women in the reproductive age group of 15-49 years residing at Devarayasamudra village were included. Statistical methods: Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used as test of significance.Results: It was observed that out of 180 women, 49 (27.2%) of the women were overweight and 26 (14.4%) women were underweight. 36.67% women had a waist hip ratio of more than 0.85. Multivariate logistic regression showed that Age and educational status were independent risk factors for increased Waist Hip Ratio among women in reproductive age group.Conclusions: Higher prevalence of overweight and abdominal obesity was observed among women of reproductive age group in rural area. Hence measures to improve the nutritional status of women in rural areas need to be addressed.

Published: January 2017

Background: This study investigated correlates of psycho-social health problems among prison inmates in south-south geo-political zone of Nigeria. Five research questions and five hypotheses guided the study. Methods: The study adopted a correlational design. The population used was one thousand, three hundred and sixty-two (1362) respondents comprised of all the prison inmates’ from three states in south-south geo-political zone of Nigeria. The study also consisted of inmates from various social classes. Structured questionnaire comprising 36 items were administered to the inmates to provide information covering the seven research questions and hypotheses. Pearson’s product moment correlation was utilized to obtain a reliability value of 0.76. Linear-regression and t-test associated with linear-regression were used to analyze the RQ and H0. Results: The results of the study demonstrated that inadequate prison infrastructures and long span of stay were indicators of well-being issues. Conclusions: In view of the findings, it was concluded that basically, health is determined by interplay of factors such as physical, mental and social. It is important that Government and Non- Governmental organization should intensify their efforts in rehabilitating the prison to improve the health standards of the inmates. Judiciary system should facilitate inmates’ trials instead of keeping them too long in prison before trial.
