Authors: Malik Roopa , Dahiya Krishna , Jain Shweta , Singh Sunita , Kadian Nirmala Duhan , Rajotia Nidhi 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT
Exaggerated placental site (EPS) is most often diagnosed retrospectively on histological examination of curettage specimens after first trimester miscarriage but may occasionally produce postpartum hemorrhage. We report the first case of EPS presenting as postpartum collapse consequent upon a small perforation in the placental bed and review the literature for this rare lesion.

Maternal and Placental Risk Factors associated with Intrauterine Growth Restriction and the Perinatal Outcomes
Authors: Thekkedathu Valsa CA 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT

Objectives
Identifying the factors responsible for the intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is very important, so that early interventions could be suggested to improve the perinatal outcome. The major objectives of this study are to analyze the impact of risk factors, specifically the maternal and placental risk factors, on IUGR and the perinatal outcomes.

Materials and methods
A prospective study was done on 60 women with IUGR pregnancies from January 2013 to January 2014, at Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital, Thiruvalla. Inclusion criteria were: singleton pregnancies, above the gestational age of 28 weeks, clinically diagnosed IUGR and confirmed subsequently on ultrasound. The statistical analysis was performed utilizing Statistical Package of the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and the significance level of p-value < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.

Results
Statistical analysis shows that maternal risk factors like chronic hypertension, pre-eclampsia, low socioeconomic status of mother, overt diabetes, anemia, gestational diabetes mellitus, low prepregnancy body mass index and hypothyroidism were significantly associated with IUGR. In this study, placental factors like chorangiomatosis, increased syncytial knotting, villous infarction, increased perivillous fibrinoid deposition, accelerated villous maturation, retroplacental hemorrhage and acute chorioamnionitis were significantly associated with IUGR.

Conclusion
Alertness toward antenatal risk factors for poor pregnancy outcome is important for the optimal management of IUGR pregnancies. Despite antenatal recognition of IUGR and associated risk factors, not all perinatal deaths can be prevented.

The Effect of Selected Antenatal Exercises in Reduction of Labor Pain among Primigravid Women: Implication for Practice
Authors: Prince Emi John , Seshan Vidya 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT

Purpose
Labor is a physiological event, but it is a painful event. The agony and stress a woman suffers are beyond description. Primigravid women must be prepared during the antenatal period itself for safe and natural childbirth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of antenatal exercise in pain management during labor.

Materials and methods
A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 600 primigravid women. Education on antenatal exercises provided with the help of three-dimensional (3D) animation and the practice was monitored. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess the perception of the pain of these primigravid women during labor.

Results
The primigravid women performed exercise for a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 34 days. In the experimental group, 74% of the primigravid women had moderate pain, and only 26% of them had severe pain. Whereas in the control group, 95.7% of the primigravid women had severe pain and only 4.4% of women had mild to moderate pain. Experimental group women had better pain bearing capacity due to exercise as compared to control group.

Conclusion
Nurses and childbirth educators must be willing to provide sensitive, continuous care that is a collaborative effort with the woman to assist her in coping with pain and mastering the experience of childbirth. Greater attention needs to be paid to promote and implement the antenatal exercise program from the onset of pregnancy in the absence of any medical and obstetrical complications. Healthcare providers should appreciate and strongly recommend the exercise program as nonpharmacological pain relief measure during labor.

Successful Management of Early Onset Rh-immunized Pregnancy
Authors: LNU Pushpalatha , Vasanthalakshmi G Naga , LNU Sirisha 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT
Rh-isoimmunization still remains an important preventable cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. The improved perinatal outcome in sensitized patients is mainly attributed to application of color Doppler ultrasonography as a noninvasive method of detecting and monitoring fetal anemia and fetal wellbeing, improvement in ultrasonography machines and fetal interventional techniques and better neonatal intensive care facilities. Here, we present a case G3P2L1D, Rh negative with previous lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), diagnosed to be indirect Coomb's test (ICT) positive (1:64) at 9 weeks.
She was followed up with serial ICT titers every 2 weeks along with ultrasonography (USG) and Doppler. Fetal anemia was detected with middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler at 27 weeks and same treated with intrauterine transfusions twice. She was diagnosed to have gestational diabetes mellitus and treated for the same. Patient then delivered at 36 weeks and 5 days by emergency LSCS in labor, a healthy girl baby, 3.07 Kg. Postnatally, baby developed jaundice and was treated with double light phototherapy. Baby also developed anemia subsequently 3 days after birth and was treated with one dose of intravenous (IV) immunoglobulin. Baby with mother were discharged on postoperative day 5 in good health.

Successful Medical Management of Interstitial Pregnancy
Authors: Dahiya Krishna , Kadian Veenu , Sangwan Shaveta 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACTInterstitial pregnancies account for 2 to 4% of all tubal pregnancies and have seven times higher mortality rates than ectopic pregnancy in general. It poses a significant risk of bleeding and rupture. The conventional treatment of Interstitial pregnancy involves resection of the cornual tissue. Conservative management with methotrexate systemically and locally has been reported with varying doses. We present a case of interstitial pregnancy diagnosed at 11 weeks of gestation and with high human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels managed successfully with systemic methotrexate.How to cite this articleDahiya K, Kadian V, Sangwan S.

Authors: Kaushal Manila , Kadi Pooja , Baxi Asha , Neema Hansali , Baxi Dawal 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT

Objectives
To study the prevalence of male and female genital tuberculosis in Indian infertile couples as detected by semen polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and endometrial PCR and to study the correlation of semen TB PCR with endometrial TB PCR of sexual partner.

Design
Noncomparative retrospective observational series.

Patients
A total of 100 couples presenting with infertility at clinic were enrolled after obtaining informed consent.

Interventions
All couples were tested for mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) by nested PCR on the semen and the endometrial sample. The results of PCR of sexual partners were mutually correlated.

Results
Out of 108 couples, 56 males and 52 females had positive PCR in the sample of semen and the endometrium. Also, 30 couples simultaneously had both semen PCR and endometrial PCR positive.

Conclusion
Addition of PCR tests to the routine clinical and laboratory assessments may add to the detection of subclinical urogenital infection and the timely evaluation of the asymptomatic partner of the infected person can improve the early detection of a silent but potentially devastating infection.

Revisiting Cerebral Palsy: Pathogenesis and Management
Authors: Aznal Sharifah Sulaiha , Nalliah Sivalingam , Chng Tong Wooi 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT
Brain damage in utero and its consequences in neonates especially cerebral palsy (CP), are socially disturbing and psychologically distressing to both patients and carers. The prevalence of CP has not declined considerably despite several preventive measures in obstetric and neonatal care. Current views on the pathogenesis and causal pathways of CP relate to hypoxic-related ischemic events. A series of cascading events trigger the inflammatory processes resulting in gliosis of the white matter when labor and the delivery processes are reviewed. Though animal studies seem to support these concepts several other causes like perinatal infection and prematurity are also strong contributors to its pathogenesis. Multiple gestation and genetic factors may play a role in the etiology.
Current management strategies focus on preventive measures during antenatal and intrapartum care. The use of antenatal steroids, magnesium sulfate infusion for cerebral protection and the extensive use of electronic fetal monitoring during labor have been elaborated as deliberate attempts to minimize the impact of any of the possible contributing cause. As CP is still prevalent in pediatric practice and in our community discussing means to improve prognosis of affected children are relevant.

Laparoscopic Myomectomy of a 34 Weeks Size Myoma: ‘Exhausting but Satisfying’
Authors: Pathak Charu 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT
Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors affecting reproductive age women. The symptomatic spectrum varies from large asymptomatic fibroids to smaller ones causing all sorts of menstrual problems. With the advent of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic myomectomy is the preferred approach to many of these myomas depending on the size, site and number as recommended by the standard bodies.

Aims and objectives
To describe one of the largest myoma operated laparoscopically using conventional technique.

Background
The size and type of myoma represent the best predictors of surgical difficulties and possible intraoperative complications. Intramural myomas > 8 cm and subserosal myomas > 12 cm are considered challenging to operate laparoscopically. Till date, to the best of our knowledge the largest myoma operated laparoscopically is around 30 cm.

Case Report
Authors report a case of 29 years old unmarried girl who presented with abdominal distention and on examination had a abdominopelvic mass of 34 weeks gravid uterus size. Ultrasound revealed a very large intramural fibroid arising from the left wall close to the fundus with a large submucosal component. An uneventful laparoscopic myomectomy was done.

Conclusion
Laparoscopic myomectomy is surely a safe and attractive alternative to treat large myomas with less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay and equivalent pregnancy outcomes. The authors believe that with required skills, experience, and improved technologies for tissue retrieval, the size may not be a limiting factor for laparoscopic myomectomies.

A Validated Enantioselective HPLC Method for Determination of Ibuprofen Enantiomers in Bulk and Tablet Dosage Form
Authors: El-Fatatry Hamed M , Mabrouk Mokhtar M , Hammad Sherin F , El-Malla Samah F 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
A new chiral reversed-phase (RP)-HPLC method with UV detection was developed. Enantioselective resolution of ibuprofen (IBP) was achieved using (3R,4S)-4-(3,5-dinitrobenzamido)-3-(3-(trioxysilyl)-propyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-phenanthrene [(R,R)-Whelk-O2] chiral stationary phase (4.6 mm id × 250 mm, 10 μm) with a mobile phase composed of ethanol–water (30 + 70, v/v) containing 100 mM ammonium acetate at a flow rate of 1.3 mL/min using diode array detector at λ 220 nm. Calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 20–180 μg/mL for both IBP enantiomers. Mean % recoveries ±SD of 99.74 ± 1.73 and 99.60 ± 0.93 were obtained for dexibuprofen (dex-IBP) and levoibuprofen (levo-IBP), respectively. Intra- and interday precision calculated as RSD, % were not more than 1.66% for dex-IBP and 1.93% for levo-IBP. The detection limits were 2.09 and 2.06 μg/mL for dex-IBP and levo-IBP, respectively. The method was successfully applied for the determination of dex-IBP in tablet dosage form.
A Novel Liquid–Liquid Extraction for the Determination of Nicotine in Tap Water, Wastewater, and Saliva at Trace Levels by GC-MS
Authors: Dobrowska Joanna Sonia , Erarpat Sezin , Chormey Dotse Selali , Pyrzyńska Krystyna , Bakirdere Sezgin 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Determination of nicotine at trace levels in different matrixes is crucial because of nicotine's strongly addictive property. In this study, a simple and fast analytical method was developed using liquid–liquid extraction with GC-MS. Chloroform was used as an extraction solvent. Different parameters for extraction, such as pH of the solution, types and volumes of extraction and supporter solvents for dispersion, extraction period, and salt type and its amount, were optimized. To improve the precision, naphthalene was used as an internal standard. The calibration plot of nicotine was linear from 0.010 to 2.0 mg/L with a correlation coefficient 0.9996. The LOD and LOQ for nicotine after extraction were 2.6 and 8.8 ng/mL, respectively. Under the optimum conditions, tap water, wastewater, and saliva samples were analyzed for their nicotine content. The spiking experiments yielded satisfactory recoveries of 97.6 ± 3.5, 96.8 ± 1.1, and 85.1 ± 1.3% for tap water, wastewater, and saliva samples, respectively.
Metoda barvově-slovních asociací (takzvané Barvy života) není diagnostickým nástrojem
Authors: Cígler Hynek , Mafková Jana 
Published: April 2016

Metoda Barvově slovních asociací (Barvy života) je podle svých autorů určená k diagnostice mnoha značně rozličných charakteristik jednotlivců i kolektivů. Její používání je v určité míře rozšířené na různých typech pracovišť (například na školách, v soukromých firmách), otestovány byly desetitisíce jednotlivců a s jejími výsledky pracovali psychologové, zřejmě nejen v pedagogicko-psychologických poradnách. Tato situace je podle nás alarmující – používání nefunkčních metod k diagnostice tak závažných jevů, jako je například šikana, může na jedné straně stigmatizovat „běžné“ žáky a na straně druhé poškodit skutečné oběti při včasném neodhalení fyzického či psychického násilí. V následujícím článku představíme podrobné důvody, proč není možné metodu Barvy života považovat za psychodiagnostický nástroj a proč nelze její výstupy jakkoli interpretovat. According to its authors was the “Color association method” established to diagnose varied characteristics of individuals and groups as well. This method is currently used at different places (for example at schools or private companies), thousands individuals were tested and some psychologists used its results. This situation is in our opinion alarming – using not-functional method to diagnose important phenomenon, e.g. bullying, can stigmatize “normal” pupils and harm true victims on the other hand. In the article we present detail reasons why the “Color association method” can´t be considered to be appropriate psychological assessment tool and why its results can´t be anyhow interpreted.
K problematice testů studijních předpokladů
Authors: Viktorová Lucie , Charvát Miroslav 
Published: April 2016

Součástí přijímacího řízení na vysoké školy jsou často i tzv. testy studijních předpokladů, se kterými se pojí řada psychometrických otázek. V příspěvku se zaměřujeme na problematiku validity těchto testů, a to jak po obsahové, konstruktové, tak i po prediktivní stránce. Z českých i zahraničních výzkumů a zkušeností vyplývá zejména nejasnost definice tzv. „předpokladů ke studiu“ i toho, co je možné považovat za „akademický úspěch“. Zmiňujeme zde výsledky některých studií na toto téma i praktické problémy, které mohou při zjišťování validity testů studijních předpokladů vyvstat. V našich úvahách se přitom opíráme o vlastní zkušenosti z analýz Testu předpokladů ke studiu na FF UP (SPF).
Jak začít s Teorií odpovědi na položku? S pomocí knihy Applying The Rasch Model: Fundamental Measurement in the Human Sciences
Authors: Cígler Hynek 
Published: April 2016

Teorie odpovědi na položku (Item Response Theory, IRT) je souhrnné označení pro moderní psychometrické postupy, které již nejsou výhradní doménou tzv. výkonových testů. Ačkoliv v zahraničí jde o značně rozšířený přístup, v České republice jsou zatím metody standardizované prostřednictvím IRT jen ojedinělými pokusy. Přitom využití IRT neklade zvláštní nároky ani na psychometrika při tvorbě testu, ani na psychologa interpretujícího výsledky – spíše naopak. Za touto situaci možná stojí nedostatek domácích textů, které by v krátkosti představily základní výhody a možnosti IRT v podobě srozumitelné pro běžného psychologa bez zvláštního statistického vzdělání. Proto nabízím recenzi na knihu autorů Bonda a Foxové „Applying the Rasch Model: Fundamental Measurement in Human Sciences“ (2001; 2007), která o těchto tématech pojednává velmi přístupnou formou.
Recenze na publikaci Ivany Šnýdrové Psychodiagnostika
Authors: Ježek Stanislav , Beláňová Lenka 
Published: April 2016

Přibližně stopadesátistránková maloformátová kniha s prostým názvem Psychodiagnostika, kterou v roce 2008 vydala Grada, je tak špatná, že by za běžných okolností měla být už dávno zavržena a zapomenuta. Bohužel, psychologie v České republice je malým a pomalým trhem, a tak je kniha používána a citována akademiky z nepsychologických, ale i psychologických kateder, a lze ji najít i v sylabech psychodiagnosticky laděných kurzů v Česku i na Slovensku. Proto je potřeba potenciální zájemce i dnes před knihou varovat.

Beckova sebeposuzovací škála depresivity pro dospělé: Recenze metody
Authors: Gottfried Jaroslav 
Published: April 2016

BDI-II představuje jednoduchý a psychometricky kvalitní nástroj pro zjišťování závažnosti deprese. V případě české adaptace však nejsou k dispozici důkazy o validitě ani reliabilitě a při interpretaci výsledků se používají zahraniční normy. Dokud neproběhne důkladnější standardizace, odhad validity a reliability, stanovení lokálních norem a zjištění senzitivity a specificity, je tento nástroj lepší používat pouze pro výzkumné účely.
Dotazník volby povolání a plánování profesní kariéry: Recenze metody
Authors: Kašpárková Ludmila 
Published: April 2016

Dotazník volby povolání a plánování profesní kariéry (Self-Directed Search) je jako takový kvalitním nástrojem pro plánování profesní kariéry, jedná se o uživatelsky příjemnou metodu s širokým spektrem použití. Adekvátní užití metody nepředpokládá žádné zvláštní vzdělání, testovaná osoba si jej administruje samostatně, výhodou je pak následná konzultace s odborníkem. Vhodné je doplnit diagnostiku jiným diagnostickým nástrojem a zamezit tak možným zkreslením plynoucím z nepřiměřeného sebehodnocení. Používání první české verze dotazníku však k praktickému využití nelze doporučit. Hlavním nedostatkem je nedostatečná adaptace metody na naše kulturní prostředí, absence standardizace a po dvaceti letech od vydání i zastaralost. Pro možnost jejího využívání v ČR by bylo nezbytné vytvořit druhé přepracované vydání.

Authors: Furman Anton 
Published: April 2016

Príspevok je publikačne upravená správa z iniciálneho vyšetrenia žiaka, ktorá tvorí podklad pre rozhodnutie evaluačného tímu o tom, či budú danému žiakovi poskytnuté špeciálno-pedagogické služby v súlade s relevantnými zákonmi upravujúcimi ich poskytovanie v školách v USA. Okrem integrácie diagnostických nálezov a ich interpretácie správa obsahuje súhrn odporúčaní a intervencií, ktoré sú základom pre tvrobu individuálneho vzdelávacieho plánu pre daného žiaka. Príspevok ilustruje spôsob dokumentovania práce školského psychológa, štruktúru komplexnej správy z vyšetrenia, ako aj priblížiť zvyklosti používané pri interpretácii výslekov získaných pomocou štandardizovaných psychodiagnostických nástrojov. Cieľom je tiež prispieť k diskusii o procese diagnostikovania, formulovania záverov z vyšetrení a odporúčaní vhodných intervencií, ktorá v súčasnosti prebieha v českej odbornej verejnosti.This paper is an edited initial evaluation report illustrating the work of a school psychologist and structure of a comprehensive evaluation report used by evaluation teams in making decisions regarding students’ special education services eligibility within the legal framework of pertinent US legislation. In addition to integrating diagnostic data and their interpretation, the report includes summary of recommended interventions and accommodations that inform an individualized education program for the evaluated student. The report also reflects customary way of documenting evaluations and interpretation of data obtained by using standardized instruments as part of psycho-educational diagnostic process. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the discussion regarding the diagnostic process, formulating conclusions and recommendations for educational interventions in the context of ongoing changes in the Czech system of psycho-educational counseling.
