Published: March 2017

Abstract
Lumbar diskectomy is a common procedure in neurosurgery, besides the common complications broken scalpel blade during disc removal is a rare event. Usually retrieval of such sharp retained fragments in same sitting is difficult and to prevent further complications another session is warranted [1]. We report a case of broken scalpel blade during L1-L2 lumbar intervertebral disc removal and successful surgical retrieval of that tip of knife with the help of operative microscope under fluoroscopic guidance during same sitting before any hazardous complications develop.

Authors: Lysak Halyna , Martynyuk Olena 
Published: March 2017

AbstractDifferent approaches to organization of students’ individual work using information technologies in Ukraine and abroad have been presented in the paper. The authors have analyzed the concept and role of students’ individual work in the language learning process. It has been revealed that students’ individual work is a rather flexible process and involves such activities as preparation for lectures, practical tasks, workshops, preparation for different types of control, solution of different complexity level problems in and out of class; work with various sources of information and writing essays, reports, summaries. It has been concluded that information technologies can be a powerful tool for everybody who wants to learn foreign languages through individual work and an efficient facility to enlarge students’ creative potential. The concept of “information technologies” in education has been analyzed and the advantages of using information technologies in organization of students’ individual work have been determined. Language practice at phono and video laboratories, the use of the Internet resources, special computer software and online courses, e-books, electronic encyclopedias and dictionaries have been analyzed as the most effective means to organize students’ individual work in the language learning process.
Roosevelt Predicted to Win: Revisiting the 1936 Literary Digest Poll
Authors: Lohr Sharon L. , Brick J. Michael 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The Literary Digest poll of 1936, which incorrectly predicted that Landon would defeat Roosevelt in the 1936 US presidential election, has long been held up as an example of how not to sample. The sampling frame was constructed from telephone directories and automobile registration lists, and the survey had a 24% response rate. But if information collected by the poll about votes cast in 1932 had been used to weight the results, the poll would have predicted a majority of electoral votes for Roosevelt in 1936, and thus would have correctly predicted the winner of the election. We explore alternative weighting methods for the 1936 poll and the models that support them. While weighting would have resulted in Roosevelt being projected as the winner, the bias in the estimates is still very large. We discuss implications of these results for today’s low-response-rate surveys and how the accuracy of the modeling might be reflected better than current practice.

Abstract
The ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity values of liquid mixture of aqueous polyvinyl pyrrolidone with aqueous zinc sulphate, manganese sulphate, zinc chloride and manganese chloride have been studied at 303.15 K, 308.15 K and 313.15 K. Relative association, surface tension, modified surface tension, adiabatic compressibility, acoustic impedance, intermolecular free length relaxation time and the nonlinearity parameter have been determined for various compositions. The variation observed in the results suggest that the presence of strong polymer-solvent interactions.
Transcriptional response to hepatitis C virus infection and interferon‐alpha treatment in the human liver

Published: March 2017

AbstractHepatitis C virus (HCV) is widely used to investigate host–virus interactions. Cellular responses to HCV infection have been extensively studied in vitro. However, in human liver, interferon (IFN)‐stimulated gene expression can mask direct transcriptional responses to infection. To better characterize the direct effects of HCV infection in vivo, we analyze the transcriptomes of HCV‐infected patients lacking an activated endogenous IFN system. We show that expression changes observed in these patients predominantly reflect immune cell infiltrates rather than cell‐intrinsic pathways. We also investigate the transcriptomes of patients with endogenous IFN activation, which paradoxically cannot eradicate viral infection. We find that most IFN‐stimulated genes are induced by both recombinant IFN therapy and the endogenous IFN system, but with lower induction levels in the latter, indicating that the innate immune response in chronic hepatitis C is too weak to clear the virus. We show that coding and non‐coding transcripts have different expression dynamics following IFN treatment. Several microRNA primary transcripts, including that of miR‐122, are significantly down‐regulated in response to IFN treatment, suggesting a new mechanism for IFN‐induced expression fine‐tuning.
Successful treatment of thyroid storm presenting as recurrent cardiac arrest and subsequent multiorgan failure by continuous renal replacement therapy
Authors: Park Han Soo , Kwon Su Kyoung , Kim Ye Na 
Published: March 2017

Summary
Thyroid storm is a rare and potentially life-threatening medical emergency. We experienced a case of thyroid storm associated with sepsis caused by pneumonia, which had a catastrophic course including recurrent cardiac arrest and subsequent multiple organ failure (MOF). A 22-year-old female patient with a 10-year history of Graves’ disease was transferred to our emergency department (ED). She had a cardiac arrest at her home and a second cardiac arrest at the ED. Her heart recovered after 20 min of cardiac resuscitation. She was diagnosed with thyroid storm associated with hyperthyroidism complicated by pneumonia and sepsis. Although full conventional medical treatment was given, she had progressive MOF and hemodynamic instability consisting of hyperthermia, tachycardia and hypotension. Because of hepatic and renal failure with refractory hypotension, we reduced the patient’s dose of beta-blocker and antithyroid drug, and she was started on continuous veno-venous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with intravenous albumin and plasma supplementation. Subsequently, her body temperature and pulse rate began to stabilize within 1 h, and her blood pressure reached 120/60 mmHg after 6 h. We discontinued antithyroid drug 3 days after admission because of aggravated hyperbilirubinemia. The patient exhibited progressive improvement in thyroid function even after cessation of antithyroid drug, and she successfully recovered from thyroid storm and MOF. This is the first case of thyroid storm successfully treated by CRRT in a patient considered unfit for antithyroid drug treatment.

Learning points:

The presenting manifestations of thyroid storm vary and can include cardiac arrest with multiorgan failure in rare cases.

In some patients with thyroid storm, especially those with severe complications, conventional medical treatment may be ineffective or inappropriate.

During thyroid storm, the initiation of CRRT can immediately lower body temperature and subsequently stabilize vital signs.

Early initiation of CRRT can be life-saving in patients with thyroid storm complicated by MOF, even when used in combination with suboptimal medical treatment.

Published: March 2017

OBJECTIVE:
The goal of this study was to assess the association of the introduction of a ward’s high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) guideline with clinical outcomes of infants with bronchiolitis.

METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective, pre–post intervention study with an interrupted time series analysis of infants admitted with bronchiolitis between 2010 and 2014 at an urban, tertiary care children’s hospital. Patients admitted in the 24 months before and after initiation of a guideline for HFNC use on the general wards were compared. The primary outcome was length of hospital stay. Secondary outcomes were PICU transfer rate and length of stay, intubation rate, and 30-day readmission, adjusted for season.

RESULTS:
A total of 1937 patients met inclusion criteria; 936 were admitted before and 1001 admitted after the introduction of HFNC use on the general wards. Comparing the 2 groups, the hospital-wide rate of HFNC use in bronchiolitis treatment increased after HFNC became available on the wards (23.9% vs 35.2%; P &lt; .001). The ward’s HFNC guideline was not associated with a change in preintervention trajectory of total hospital length of stay (P = .48), PICU length of stay (P = .06), or rate of PICU transfer (P = .97). There was also no difference in intubation rate or 30-day readmission between the 2 groups.

CONCLUSIONS:
Initiating a guideline for HFNC use on the general pediatric wards was associated with an increase in the use of the intervention with no significant change in total hospital length of stay, PICU length of stay and transfer rate, intubation rate, or 30-day readmission for patients with bronchiolitis.
Impacts of the dry season on the gas exchange of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) and interspecific hybrid (Elaeis oleífera x Elaeis guineensis) progenies under field conditions in eastern Colombia

Published: March 2017

Elaeis guineensis palms and its interspecific hybrid (E. oleifera x E. guineensis) were planted in 2004 in the Cuernavaca farm of Unipalma S.A., located in the municipality of Paratebueno (Cundinamarca, Colombia). The palms were planted in two fields: Mecasaragua and Aurora. The first field has never been irrigated, and the second one (Aurora) has always been flood-irrigated during the dry season according to the parameters of the plantation. In this study, physiological parameters (gas exchange and water potential) were assessed in three seasons of the year 2013 (dry season, dry-to-wet transition season and wet season). Significant gas exchange differences were found among the seasons in the field with no irrigation (Mecasaragua). Likewise, differences between the genetic materials were observed during the dry season. For example, the photosyn thesis decreased by 75% compared with the palms planted in the irrigated field. No differences among seasons or materials were found in the irrigated field (Aurora). E. guineensis palms were more sensitive to water stress compared with the OxG interspecific hybrid. Both genetic materials responded rapidly to the first rains by leveling their photosynthetic rates and demonstrated an excellent capacity to recover from water stress.
Konsep Being Perspektif Filsafat dan Islam

Published: March 2017

This article discuss the concept of being in the perspective of existentialism and Islam. The closest similarity to the word “being” is to on (Ancient Greece), as the word of einai, to be (on, onta). For Parmenides, “being” (to on) is one, eternal and unchanging. Gabriel Marcel calls the way the human being with the term être-au-monde, etre in carne, geist-in-welt. Martin Heidegger uses a formula being in the world to characterize human life. Being in the world as a feature of human life, human beings are in the situation. Living in a world of concrete means that there are human relationships with the situation. Sartre said that the real one where there are two, namely: I’etre en soi and I’etre pour Soi. For Sartre, I’etre en soi is the idea that only a concrete phenomenon has ontological status; only something concrete is real. Unlike the being-in-itself, for Sartre the concept of being-for-itself is a state of being that comes with the awareness and self-control. The concept of being (wujûd) by Suhrawardî is a mental concepts (mahfûm) that do not have the type and diferensia. In the illumination philosophy of Suhrawardî, the idea of ​​wujûd can not be separated from nature and depiction of light. The philosophy of wujûd by Mulla Sadrâ stands on three basic principles of fundamental importance. These three principles are as follows: wahdat al-wujûd, tashkîk al-wujûd, and tashkîk. While Mohammad Iqbal emphasis on metaphysics and anthropological philosophy. Iqbal gives greater emphasis on more concrete dimensions, namely khudi (ego).
A judicialização da saúde: as decisões do Supremo Tribunal Federal frente ao princípio da separação dos poderes
Authors: Costa Tábata da Silva 
Published: March 2017

Resumo: Introdução: A Constituição Federal de 1988, ao qualificar a saúde como um direito fundamental, de acesso universal e igualitário, e dever do Estado, e ao estabelecer a participação do poder judiciário diante de ameaça ou lesão ou aos direitos fez surgir a chamada judicialização da saúde: a interferência desse poder em questões que, primariamente, seriam da competência dos poderes executivos e legislativos. O artigo objetivou identificar o posicionamento do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) quanto à interferência do Judiciário diante do princípio da separação dos poderes. Metodologia: Tratou-se de pesquisa qualiquantitativa, de caráter descritivo e analítico, das decisões judiciais proferidas pelo STF, de junho de 2009 a junho de 2015, em sede recursal, de ações cujos objetos pleiteados versavam sobre ações ou serviços de saúde. Resultados e discussão: A análise das decisões demonstra: aumento das demandas de saúde levadas à Suprema Corte em 2014 e 2015; predominância de demandas de assistência farmacêutica e insumos; tendência do Estado de alegar como razões do recurso a violação da separação dos poderes e grave lesão à ordem pública; o entendimento pacificado do STF quanto à matéria. Conclusão: Para o STF a intervenção do Judiciário nas políticas públicas de saúde não fere o princípio da separação dos poderes, nem gera lesão à ordem pública, pois a garantia e efetivação do direito à saúde é responsabilidade do Estado, seja qual for a esfera e a abrangência de suas funções, sendo inadmissível, dentro do modelo constitucional adotado, qualquer dos poderes eximir-se dessa obrigação.
A escuta da clínica analítica
Authors: Perrone Paula 
Published: March 2017

O artigo trata do uso da história de vida em uma pesquisa da autora sobre o processo de individuação. Na análise e na pesquisa, a história de vida é o método que favorece a escuta e ele pode ser enriquecido pela antropologia e pela psicologia profunda. Rousseau concebeu a etnologia no século XVIII por ter o outro como motivo primeiro de sua teoria. A "pitié" permite sua identificação com o sofrimento de seu semelhante. Merleau-Ponty se voltou para a antropologia pela sua maneira de pensar quando o objeto é o "outro" e exige nossa transformação. Criamos interfaces entre a antropologia e a psicologia analítica, uma vez que alteridade é a questão junguiana. Jung avalia como condição necessária para o verdadeiro encontro o exercício consciente da retirada das projeções sobre o mundo externo. Segunda interface: a escuta analítica. Ela procura alcançar as fantasias inconscientes e facilitar que camadas inconscientes aflorem. Para Merleau-Ponty a percepção é seletiva. A escuta da psicologia profunda é seletiva, perspectivista. Terceira interface: a experiência da intersubjetividade. O campo interativo entre o narrador e o ouvinte de uma história de vida pode comportar a constituição de um terceiro elemento, produto do encontro das duas subjetividades: o corpo sutil. Nessa sintonia, falamos de acordo com esse campo de sensibilidade constituída. A clínica também está presente quando se estuda com alunos ou na pesquisa em ciências humanas a partir de narrativas. Tem uma função no mundo, pode produzir uma metodologia refinada. A fala de meu entrevistado pertence ao domínio do "terceiro incluído". Jung explicou profundamente essa cópula simbólica.

Rubber Composition–Properties Relationships during Tire Numerical Simulation and Design Optimization
Authors: Mazin Alexey , Kapustin Alexander , Soloviev Mikhail , Karanets Alexander 
Published: March 2017

ABSTRACT

Numerical simulation based on finite element analysis is now widely used during the design optimization of tires, thereby drastically reducing the time investment in the design process and improving tire performance because it is obtained from the optimized solution. Rubber material models that are used in numerical calculations of stress–strain distributions are nonlinear and may include several parameters. The relations of these parameters with rubber formulations are usually unknown, so the designer has no information on whether the optimal set of parameters is reachable by the rubber technological possibilities. The aim of this work was to develop such relations. The most common approach to derive the equation of the state of rubber is based on the expansion of the strain energy in a series of invariants of the strain tensor. Here, we show that this approach has several drawbacks, one of which is problems that arise when trying to build on its basis the quantitative relations between the rubber composition and its properties. An alternative is to use a series expansion in orthogonal functions, thereby ensuring the linear independence of the coefficients of elasticity in evaluation of the experimental data and the possibility of constructing continuous maps of “the composition to the property.” In the case of orthogonal Legendre polynomials, the technique for constructing such maps is considered, and a set of empirical functions is proposed to adequately describe the dependence of the parameters of nonlinear elastic properties of general-purpose rubbers on the content of the main ingredients. The calculated sets of parameters were used in numerical tire simulations including static loading, footprint analysis, braking/acceleration, and cornering and also in design optimization procedures.
Pleisztocén folyóvízi kavics a Villányi-hegységben
Authors: Szujó Gábor Lajos , Sebe Krisztina , Sipos György , Pozsgai Emília 
Published: March 2017

A Villányi-hegységben eddigi ismereteink szerint a kainozoos képződményeket elsősorban késő-pliocén–kvarter szárazföldi üledékek, vörösagyagok és lösz képviselik. A villányi Templom-hegy siklóbevágásának közelmúltbeli letisztítása eddig ismeretlen kvarter képződményt tett hozzáférhetővé, amely fontos adalékot jelenthet a Villányi-hegység kainozoos fejlődéstörténetéhez. A cikk célja a mezozoos rétegekre települt fedőképződmények leírása, képződési körülményeinek, valamint korának meghatározása és ősföldrajzi viszonyainak felvázolása.A kibillent alaphegységi rétegsorra homokbetelepüléses durva kavics, majd eróziós határral kavicszsinóros aleurit települ. A durva kavics a kőzetanyagok vizsgálata alapján a közvetlen közelből származik, a forráskőzetek nagy része azonosítható a Villányi-hegység északi részén található, főleg alaphegységi (Csukmai Formáció Templomhegyi Dolomit Tagozata, Mészhegyi Homokkő és Somssichhegyi Mészkő Formáció), kis részben fiatalabb kőzettípusokkal (üregkitöltő vörösagyag és kalcit). A kavicsba települő homok nehézásvány-összetétele a közvetlen fekü felső-triász Mészhegyi és Somssichhegyi Formációval rokonítható. Szintén rövid szállítási távolságra utal a kavicsok vegyes, gyenge-jó koptatottsága. A kavicsösszlet kora a környéken pleisztocén korú üregkitöltő kalcit és vörösagyag anyagú kavicsok alapján pleisztocénnél nem idősebb; a betelepülő homok OSL módszerrel meghatározott kora több mint 400ezer év. A fentiek alapján a kavicsösszletet egy, a késő-pleisztocénnél korábban már létező vízfolyás üledékeként, folyóvízi teraszként értelmezhetjük. Ez a folyóvíz a mai Villány-pogányi-vízfolyás őse lehetett, amely a hegység északi előterében, annak lábánál haladva érinti az azonosított forráskőzeteket. A hegység lassú emelkedésével a vízfolyás bevágódott, a kavicstest szárazra került és erodálódott, kis, lapos völgy vágódott bele, majd töltődött ki a riss (MIS 6) során lejtőlösszel és felületi lemosással szállítódó homok-kavics méretű törmelékkel. A terület emelkedési üteme a fiatal negyedidőszakban legfeljebb ~0,05 mm/év lehetett.
