Trends in Hearing Loss Among Adolescents
Authors: Barrett Tyson S. , White Karl R. 
Published: November 2017

OBJECTIVES:
Our aim with this article is to evaluate whether the prevalence of hearing loss is increasing among adolescents living in the United States.

METHODS:
All available data about hearing loss among adolescents from the large, federally funded National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed. By using the 4 data releases between 1994 and 2010 (a total of 6891 adolescents), the prevalence of adolescent hearing loss &gt;15 and ≥25 dB at low frequencies (0.5, 1, and 2 kHz) and high frequencies (3, 4, 6, and 8 kHz) for bilateral, unilateral, and any loss were calculated.

RESULTS:
Only 13 of 90 comparisons of prevalence across combinations of degree, frequency, and laterality of hearing loss revealed a statistically significant increase at P &lt; .05. Among the 18 subgroups of degree, frequency, and laterality, 61% had a lower prevalence of hearing loss in 2010 than in 1994, and 100% of the subgroups had a lower prevalence in 2010 than in 2006.

CONCLUSIONS:
With previous analyses of NHANES data from 1994 to 2006, researchers showed that hearing loss among US adolescents was increasing. Based on the NHANES data from 1994 to 2010 that are now available, there is no consistent evidence that hearing loss among adolescents in the United States is increasing. Results reveal that conclusions about trends using data from 2 time points can be misleading. NHANES should resume collecting audiometric data as part of their data collection protocol so that trends in the prevalence of childhood hearing loss can be documented.

OBJECTIVES:
To illustrate the difficulties in optimal growth monitoring of children with severe obesity or underweight by using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2000 age- and sex-specific BMI percentile growth charts. We also aimed to examine the utility of a new modified CDC BMI z score chart to monitor growth in children with normal and extreme BMI percentiles by using real-life clinical scenarios.

METHODS:
Modified BMI z score charts were created by using the 2000 CDC algorithm. Three cases of children with extreme BMI values and abnormal growth patterns were plotted by using the standard CDC 2000 clinical growth chart, the modified BMI z score chart, and the CDC BMI percentile chart, modified to include the percentage of the 95th percentile (%BMIp95) curves.

RESULTS:
Children with severe obesity could not be plotted on the standard CDC BMI percentile chart because their BMI points lay above the chart cutoff. Children with a low BMI (&lt;3%) were also difficult to track on the standard BMI percentile chart. The addition of the %BMIp95 scale to the standard BMI percentile chart allowed tracking of severely obese children; however, it did not address severely underweight children and required a change of units within the chart when transitioning from normal to obese BMIs. The modified BMI z score chart allowed uniform tracking.

CONCLUSIONS:
The modified CDC z score chart is suitable for growth tracking of children with normal and extreme growth patterns; the measures correlate well with the %BMIp95, and the chart can be incorporated easily into existing electronic health record systems for clinical use.

<p>Sodium diclophenac belongs to a group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which is indicated for inflammatory, degenerative and traumatic lesions system of the skeleton, muscles and connectives tissues. The features of changes in hematological (above all, morphological) indices in Wistar line rats for experimental reproduction of toxic hepatitis at oral introduction of diclofenac sodium in a dose of 12.5 mg / kg of body weight (once a day, within 14 days) were investigated. This rats demonstrated the development of chronic inflammatory process in liver that was characterized by reactive leukocytosis (an increase in the number of leukocytes by a factor of 3), neutrophil right shift, monocytopenia (a decrease in the number of monocytes by a factor of 2.6) together with compensatory lymphocytosis, high values of ESR (by a factor of 5.5), and thymol test (by a factor of 2.9). However, erythrocytopenia<em> </em>(a decrease in the number of erythrocytes by 44 %) – which is a sign of anemia development – was revealed in animals under the experimental toxic hepatitis. Besides it, the hemoglobin content was in the range of normal values that was an evidence of a compensatory role of red bone marrow in the maintaining homeostasis of the respiratory function of blood. There were no changes in blood rheology that was indicated by definite stability of the hematocrit value in sick animals. We registered the development of chronic inflammatory process and anemia in rats caused by experimental reproduction of toxic liver damage by oral introduction of sodium diclofenac. </p>

<p>The material on winter migrations of birds on the territory of the Tomsk airport is presented in the study. The urgency of the work is connected with the importance of territorial attachment of birds and their danger level for civilian aviation. The research is based on the data of catches and birds tagging by numbered and colored rings in the period from November 9, 2016 to April 12, 2017. Totally 261 birds were caught and 30 returns were received. It is shown that fodder flocks of birds are formed on the territory of the airport in the winter season consisting mainly of a great tit (<em>Parus major</em> L.) and a bullfinch (<em>Pyrrhula pyrrhula</em> L.). The biggest attachment to the territory is demonstrated in December and February. In March there is a migration process, however, in the following many overwintered on the airport locations form nidicolous territories here.</p>
Land use and biotic integrity in shallow streams of the Hondo River basin, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

Published: November 2017

Aquatic environments face a variety of threats in the Hondo River basin, Southeastern Yucatan Peninsula. Some of these impacts, like pollution by pesticides, may depend on land use and cover. Our objective was to assess the effect of land use/cover using a previously published index of biotic integrity (IBI), based on fishes and designed for shallow streams in the Hondo River basin. Our hypothesis was that land uses that cause deforestation and pollution, such as urbanization, cattle breeding, or sugar cane fields, would be reflected in low IBI values, at least at some spatial scales. The 23 sites originally used in 2008-2009 to estimate by electrofishing the relative abundance and other characteristics of selected fish species and guilds to construct the IBI, were revisited in February 2010, to validate by direct inspection the type of land use/cover suggested by landscape information in digital databases. We analyzed the effect of seven types of land use/cover (agriculture, pasture, human settlements, water bodies, wetlands, forest, and secondary vegetation) on the IBI values, at four spatial scales, i.e., the percent of every land use/cover at progressively larger circles (125, 250, 500, and 1 000 m diameter) centered on the water body where the IBI value was measured. Correlations were established among the percent land/use cover by scale around 23 sites, and with their corresponding IBI values. Then, Student’s t tests were calculated to examine significant differences in land use/cover between groups of localities above and below the median IBI value, and Mann-Whitney’s U tests were applied to compare IBI values between localities with and without a given landscape cover. Agriculture, human settlements, and secondary vegetation correlated negatively with the IBI; forests positively. Differences were significant (p < 0.05) for forest (higher in sites with higher IBI values) and human settlements (lower in sites with higher IBI). Of all the landscape categories located in the Hondo River basin, with the exception of pasture, those of anthropogenic origin tended to be detrimental to aquatic biotic integrity.

Published: November 2017

The professor’s academic activities remain most important in their work, but in Lithuania they acquire and develop this kind of competences in a rather spontaneous way, paying little attention to which competences should be expanded, the needs of the development of their academic work are not stressed.
The aim of the research is to determine demands of professional development of higher school professors referring to their opinions about the areas they lack knowledge and skills. The following research methods have been employed: analysis of scientific sources, focus group discussion, statistical data analysis. During the research 197 university and college lecturers were interviewed.
The analysis of the findings enabled to distinguish the following groups of lecturers’ andragogic skills according the areas of activities. That is: individual and group support for students, supervision; organizing lecturing activities, stimulation of students’ study activities; application of new technologies in the study process; creation and development of study programs; analysis of study programs and their revision; administrative and managerial; nurturing of personal culture and professional development.
It has been established that university lecturers under the investigation admit a considerable demand to perfect academic skills which are directly linked to their work with students. To be more precise, referring to the respondents, they need more knowledge and skills that would be helpful to organize lecturing activities and stimulate students learning activities. They feel a lesser need for knowledge and skills how to organize individual or group support for students, manage them, partially apply internet technologies, create and develop study programs, to properly implement administrative and managerial activities, expand personal culture and professional development. It should be noted that lecturers are aware of the lack of speciality knowledge and skills.

Published: November 2017

Se hizo un estudio detallado sobre cómo influye la constante cosmológicaen el ángulo de deflexión de una lente gravitacional por galaxia. Para ello se desarrolla una de las soluciones de las ecuaciones de campo de Einstein concerniente a la métrica de Schwarzschild, pero esta vez con constantecosmológica y expresada en coordenadas isotrópicas. Se obtiene el índice de refracción y el potencial simétrico, que son parámetros característicos para el estudio de una lente gravitacional. Con base en esto se obtiene el ángulo de deflexión de una lente gravitacional por galaxia en un universo local con constante cosmológica en cercanías de la lente.

Resumen

El artículo contribuye al conocimiento de la medición del desempeño de la red de suministro en el marco de la logística hospitalaria a partir de la aplicación del Cuadro de Mando Integral (CMI). Como objetivo general se plantea el desarrollo de una metodología para la medición del desempeño de la red de abastecimiento de medi-camentos en el Hospital Universitario de La Samaritana (HUS), de manera que se mejore el proceso de toma de decisiones dentro de la organización. El proceso metodológico aplicado consta de tres etapas: caracterización del flujo de medicamentos en el HUS; identificación de las variables relevantes en el proceso de medición e implementación del esquema de medición, y finalmente el análisis de los datos recolectados para la medición del sistema logístico. Como resultado de este proceso se obtuvieron los indicadores claves de desempeño de la red de suministro de medicamentos y de manera particular se propone un método de medición bajo un índice único normalizado. Se concluye que la aplicación de un índice único normalizado facilita los procesos de análisis de información, de igual forma se resalta la versatilidad de la metodología CMI en el análisis del desempeño de la red de suministros en el hospital.

Published: November 2017

Background: Colonic injury is one of the frequent injuries affecting different age groups especially young population. It is potentially lethal in its course and commonly associated with significant injuries to other organs. The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of presentation, management modalities and mortality of colonic injuries among a sample of Iraqi patients.Methods: This is prospective study on 75 patients who were admitted to the general surgical ward of Al-Khadimya teaching hospital, Baghdad-Iraq, with colonic injury and had surgical treatment during a period of two years. The clinical parameters included: site of colonic injuries, mode of colonic injury management shock presenting in the emergency room degree of contamination (mild, moderate, and severe), and associated intra-&extra- abdominal injuries.Results: Majority of patients were male. Mean age of sample was 28.47 years. The commonest site of injury was transverse, sigmoid, and descending colon. Primary repair was the first modality followed by repair and proximal colostomy. The overall mortality was 26/75 (35%). Eighteen deaths (71%) occurred in the first 24 hours most of them due to associated major injuries and irreversible shock. Eight deaths (29%) occurred after 24 hours all of them due to septic complications.Conclusions: Primary repair is the main approach in colonic repair. In the absence of shock, associated injuries, or gross faecal soiling, primary repair may be considered. Mortality is considered high and need to be investigated in future research.
