Published: January 2017

Abstract: Intermittent claudication can seriously impair the patients’ quality of life. Cilostazol was registered in Hungary in 2014. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cilostazol in patients with intermittent claudication. 1405 patients were enrolled to the 6 months, multicenter, non-interventional trial. From the 1331 patients, who completed the study, the data of 674 patients were subjected to efficacy analysis. Pain free and maximal walking distance and the 6 minute walking test improved significantly at 3 months (78.65%, 65.23%, 56.09%; respectively, p<0.001), and a further increase was observed after 6 months treatment (129.74%, 107.2, 80.38% respectively, p<0.001). Adverse events occured in 7.26% of the patients. The most frequent adverse events were headache, diarrhea, dizziness, tachycardia or palpitation. 24 patients (1.7%) stopped cilostazol treatment because of side effects. 6 month cilostazol treatment significantly increased the walking distance in patients with intermittent claudication, without important safety problems.

Published: January 2017

The current study highlighted the relationship between the number of ALB catch, swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variables (temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, nitrate, phosphate and silicate) in Eastern Indian Ocean. This data used in this study were based on the Research Institute for Tuna Fisheries (RITF) observer program in Benoa from 2010-2013. This paper presents the information about vertical distribution of Albacore and its relations to sub surface oceanographic variables (SSOV). Results show that the optimum catch of albacore occurred at depth of 118 to 291 m with the average temperature between 12.41-20.47 °C, dissolved oxygen 3.24-4.68 ml/l , salinity 34.78-35.01 psu, nitrate 6.78-17.50 µ mol/l, phosphate 0.62-1.27 µ mol/l and silicate 10.06-24.77 µ mol/l. The highest catches of albacore are mostly at depth of 156 m (hook number 2 and 11) with the average temperature 18.71°C, dissolved oxygen 4.68 ml/l, salinity 34.78 psu, nitrate 10.71 µ mol/l, phosphate 0.86 µ mol/l and silicate 15.95 µ mol/l. The highest influence of swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variable to the number of ALB catch contained at depth of 291 m of albacore swimming layer with coefficient correlation ( r ) 0.934 and determination coefficient ( R2) 0.872. The lowest influence of swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variable to the number of ALB catch contained at depth of 156 m of albacore swimming layer with coefficient correlation ( r ) 0.528 and determination coefficient ( R2) 0,279. The relationship between swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variable on catch of ALB tuna was low (<0.500).

Published: January 2017

ZusammenfassungDie zweiteilige Arbeit bietet eine Übersicht über Lähmungen vom peripheren Typ im Gliedmaßenbereich des Rindes, die bei dieser Tierart den Hauptteil aller neurologischen Erkrankungen ausmachen und meist infolge eines Traumas peripherer Nerven auftreten. Erläutert werden deren Vorkommen, Ätiologie, Diagnostik, Prognose und Therapie. Im vorliegenden zweiten Teil dieser Übersichtsarbeit wird zunächst auf die für die Diagnostik relevanten anatomischen Grundlagen, die Lokalisation einer Schädigung neuronaler Strukturen innerhalb des unteren Motoneurons sowie die Klassifizierung der Schädigung peripherer Nerven eingegangen. Des Weiteren werden weiterführende diagnostische Verfahren dargestellt und die Einschätzung der Prognose, therapeutische Vorgehensweisen sowie Ansätze zur Prävention diskutiert.
Anästhesie für die Sectio caesarea beim Hund – ein evidenzbasierter Ansatz
Authors: Alef Michaele 
Published: January 2017

ZusammenfassungIn den letzten Jahren wurden einige neue Untersuchungen zur Anästhesie bei der Sectio caesarea veröffentlicht. Der Artikel greift diese und wegweisende Untersuchungen zu Faktoren auf, die das Risiko für die Welpen beeinflussen, und gibt auf Basis der vorhandenen Evidenz eine Empfehlung zum anästhesiologischen Vorgehen. Zusätzlich werden mögliche Alternativen diskutiert. Die Narkoseeinleitung mit Propofol oder Alfaxalon und die Erhaltung mittels Inhalationsanästhesie scheint das Verfahren mit dem geringsten Risiko zu sein. Eine adäquate und risikoarme Schmerzausschaltung wird intraoperativ durch eine Epiduralanästhesie erreicht. Nach Entwicklung der Welpen und auch postoperativ ermöglichen Opiode eine angemessene Schmerztherapie für das Muttertier. Eine Stabilisierung der Hündin vor der Anästhesie und eine Optimierung ihrer Sauerstoffversorgung sind weitere basale Forderungen.
Embedded Peer Inquiry Specialists: A Gateway to Information Literacy
Authors: Salomon Danielle , Glassman Julia , Lee Simon , Reiley Alicia 
Published: January 2017

Peer-assisted learning has been embraced by higher education as a way to boost student success. At the same time, academic librarians have found embedded librarianship to be an effective way to develop students' information literacy skills. The embedded librarianship model, however, is difficult to scale. The UCLA Library is testing a program that combines embedded librarianship with peer learning to solve some of the challenges associated with those models.The program works by embedding a student who has completed a General Education (GE) lecture course back into the current year's course to help students with research and writing assignments. The embedded student, called an "Inquiry Specialist,” is nominated by that course's faculty. The program launched in 2015 in five courses that serve a total of 830 students. Assessment is ongoing and includes: 1. IRB-approved study that will compare data (grades, retention, first-generation status, etc.) from students who connected with an Inquiry Specialist with those who did not; 2. Information literacy pre- and post-assessments; 3. Analysis of course evaluations; 4. Student survey.Results indicate that the combined model is an effective and scalable gateway to information literacy. During the first six weeks of Fall, 830 students (15% of the freshman class) attended a 40-minute library orientation. Approximately 20% of the 830 students subsequently sought additional help from the Inquiry Specialists. An analysis of course evaluations demonstrated that students in courses with an Inquiry Specialist rated their improvement in library and research skills 25% and 19% higher, respectfully, than students in courses without an Inquiry Specialist. Student scores on the information literacy quiz increased by an average of 9%. When surveyed, 68% of students said the Inquiry Specialists were “Very Helpful” (36%) or “Helpful” (34%). Plans are underway to double the size of the program in the 2016-17 academic year.
On the mental toughness of self-aware athletes: Evidence from competitive tennis players
Authors: Cowden Richard G. 
Published: January 2017

This study examined the relationship between mental toughness (MT) and self-awareness in a sample of 175 male and 158 female South African tennis athletes (mean age = 29.09 years, s.d. = 14.00). The participants completed the Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire and the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale to assess MT (confidence, constancy, control) and self-awareness (self-reflection and self-insight) dimensions, respectively. Linear regression indicated that self-insight (β=0.49), but not self-reflection (β=0.02), predicted global MT. Multivariate regression analyses were significant for self-reflection (ηp²=0.11) and self-insight (ηp²=0.24). Self-reflection predicted confidence and constancy (ηp²=0.05 and 0.06, respectively), whereas self-insight predicted all three MT subcomponents (ηp²=0.12 to 0.14). The findings extend prior qualitative research evidence supporting the relevance of self-awareness to the MT of competitive tennis athletes, with self-reflection and insight forming prospective routes through which athletes’ MT may be developed.

Significance:

Self-awareness attributes were predictive of higher levels of mental toughness among competitive tennis players.
Dimensions of self-awareness may offer routes for developing athletes’ mental toughness.

Background: Improvements in perioperative medical care, anesthetic management, surgical and myocardial protection techniques made cardiac surgery feasible in the high risk surgical patients. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of comorbidities in adult patients undergoing open heart surgery and to evaluate their implications on recovery profile.Methods: This randomized retrospective observational study of 100 adult patients presented for heart surgery for different pathologies took place at Queen Alia heart Institute in the period of time between February 2013 and June 2014. Patients' data was collected in forms, tabulated and retrospectively analyzed. Patients' demographics, co-morbidities and type of surgery were recorded. Risk stratification models (ASA-American Society of Anesthesiology and EUROSCORE 2- European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation) were used. Time of extubation, ICU discharge and hospital discharge was recorded with each patient.Results: Age of patients ranged from 18 to 77 years (mean±SD: 58±12). 83% of patients were male and 17% were female. 80 patients were presented for CABG and 20 patients for heart valve(s) surgery. BMI (body mass index, mean±SD) was 28.9±4.6 kg/m². The prevalence of smoking was 56% (6 times higher among males (64%), in comparison to females (12%). Hypertension was prevalent in 72% of patients; diabetes was present in 53%, respiratory disease in 30%, previous myocardial infarction in 23%, 37% of patients had left ventricular impairment, renal impairment in 6%, renal failure in 2% and previous stroke in 2%. EUROSCORE values ranged between 0.5 to 5.3 % (mean 1.4%). ASA grades ranged from 2 to 4 (85% of patients were grade 3). 5% of surgeries were emergent. Average operative time was 248±47 minutes (mean±SD). 30% of patients needed inotropic support and 6% needed intra-aortic balloon. Mean time in the intensive care was 43.2±28.8 hours (mean±SD).Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of co-morbidities in patients presented for cardiac surgery. Most common associated diseases were hypertension, obesity, smoking, previous myocardial infarction and diabetes; which are all well known risk factors of ischemic heart disease. Preoperative risk scoring is of paramount importance.

Authors: Bikramjit Pal , Raveender Nagaraju , Sudipta Pal 
Published: January 2017

Background: The study is to determine the relation between the high HbA1c and ESR as prognostic factors with the severity of the diabetic foot ulcer disease, particularly, in predicting the final outcome in the form of higher incidence of lower extremity amputation (LEA) and/or prolonged hospital stay. The study explored the importance of increased level of serum HbA1c and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in determining the final outcome of the disease. It revealed that the severity of diabetic foot ulcer disease is more in patients who had concomitant high levels of baseline HbA1c and ESR on admission.Methods: This observational study was done in 89 patients who were admitted in the surgical wards of the two teaching hospitals in India. The cohort consisted of patients from the age of 26 to 83 years of age who presented with clinically infected foot ulcers. Routine blood tests were done which include HbA1C on the day of admission and fasting ESR (1st hour) on the next day morning. The standard X-ray plates were routinely taken on the first day for determination of the involvement of underlying bones and soft tissues. The outcome of the diabetic foot ulcer was assessed from the severity of the disease according to Meggit-Wagner classification, the incidence of lower extremity amputation and the duration of hospital stay.Results: The high levels of baseline HbA1C (more than 7.0%) in blood on the first day of admission was found in all of the 89 patients who were included in this study but the criteria for consideration of high risk was more than 9% which was found in 41 patients. The criteria for consideration of high ESR in this study was set to be 50 mm/h. High ESR of more than 50 mm was found in 63 patients. We had subdivided 31 patients into a High Risk Group whose baseline levels of HbA1C > 9% and ESR > 50 mm/h. The incidence of amputation was 79.31% and 44.44% with HbA1c of more than 9.0% and ESR of more than 50 mm respectively and was considerably increased (83.87%) when both HbA1c and ESR were more than the critical value as set in the study. Similarly, the incidence of prolonged hospital stay of more than 14 days was 58.54% in patients with HbA1C level of greater than 9 %, 51.85% in patients with baseline ESR > 50 mm/h and 93.55% in presence of high levels of both HbA1C (>9%) and ESR (>50 mm/h)..Conclusions: The study observed that the patients who presented with baseline high levels of HbA1C, ESR or both on admission had unfavourable prognosis with increased incidence of lower extremity amputation and prolonged hospital stay than the other patients in the cohort.

Authors: Sarvepalli Ajay Kumar , Dharana Prakash Kalakappa 
Published: January 2017

Background: Infections still remain as one of the major cause of mortality in low and lower- middle-income countries as reported by Global Burden of Diseases study. Intensive care units (ICU) are a major source of infections in tertiary care hospitals. Widespread multi-drug resistant gram positive and gram negative bacterial isolates are also associated with infections in ICU. A hospital based epidemiological study was to determine the risk factors; bacterial isolates, antibiotic sensitivity and outcomes in ICU patients.Methods: This prospective study was done at Narayana Medical College and Hospital for 12 months from 1st February 2015 to 31st January 2016. All the risk factors were noted. Patient’s outcome noted as death, recovery and transfer to palliative care. Data entry and analysis performed in Microsoft excel, p valve < 0.001 was considered significant.Results: Three hundred and thirty patients were included in the study (age: 56.16±15 years, 57.6% males). 159 (48.2%) were direct admissions, 103 (31.2%) were transfers from other hospitals. Major cause of admission was neural (29.1%) followed by cardiovascular (21.8%). HTN (52.4%) was major co-morbidity followed by type-2 DM (47.3%). 51.9% culture positivity (n = 539) was observed with sputum 83.6% and blood 24.2%. Gram-negative pathogens were predominant which includes Acinetobacter baumanii (13.8%), Escherichia coli (20%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9%), Enterobacter aerogenes (5.1%). Candida Sp and MRSA, VRE were isolated. In the study 255(77.3%) recovered, 38(11.5%) progressed to death and 37(11.2%) transferred to palliative care. Higher mortality was noticed with Acinetobacter baumani (81.6%).Conclusions: High prevalence of gram-negative bacterial infections and multi-drug resistant isolates was noted in Indian ICUs.

Authors: Kadhir V. Karunai , Hemalatha T. , Chandrasekaran V. P. 
Published: January 2017

Background: Time being the most crucial factors in emergency medicine, teleconsultation enables patient assessment by specialists, immediate reception of appropriate treatment guidelines until the patient's arrival at hospital.Methods: Our study evaluated the need for teleconsultation among the emergency physicians (EP) and emergency technicians (ET) in a tertiary care hospital. Cross-sectional study conducted in Department of Emergency Medicine, a tertiary care setting. Pretested semi-structured questionnaire was given to EP and ET. Various parameters like the need for teleconsultation, the minimum time required for EMS (emergency medical services) to arrive at the scene and to the hospital, effectiveness of teleconsultation in prehospital care were evaluated.Results: SPSS version 18.0 was used. 24 EP and 36 ET participated in the study. The minimum time required for the EMS to arrive at the scene and then to hospital was calculated indirectly to be > 30 min. There was a significant difference among the EP an ET in interpreting common emergency condition p = 0.029 and criticality assessment p=0.035.The training of EMS staffs was adequate. Both EP and ET were able to adhere recent guidelines during prehospital transport. All the study participants (100%) felt the need for teleconsultation which would improve the patient management during the prehospital period.Conclusions: Teleconsultation has the potential to improve patient safety and quality of treatment in a prehospital setting and should be further evaluated.

Published: January 2017

Background: World Health Report estimated that 20% of children and adolescent suffer from a disabling mental illness worldwide. Incidences of vagrancy, delinquency and crime have been growing among steadily increasing juvenile population in the last few years. Various studies have revealed the presence of difficult family environment, lower socio-economic status, and low parental education associated with the psychiatric morbidity in children. Given the growth of juvenile delinquent population, epidemiologic data of this high risk group is becoming increasingly important. Therefore this study was undertaken to study the sociodemographic profile of male juvenile admitted in an observation home.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in an Observation Home for Boys. The study sample consists of 50 boys aged between 6-16 years. Out of 50, 20 juveniles under conflict of law and 30 under care and protection were included.Results: All the juveniles in this study were belonging to the lower socioeconomic status. Delinquency was significantly more common in older age group (12-16 years) than younger age group (6-11 years). The maternal education and school dropout rate had significant correlation with delinquency in our study, found to be more common in juveniles under conflict of law than those under care and protection.Conclusions: Establishment of multidisciplinary mental health services at each juvenile center of India, for complete rehabilitation of the juveniles admitted there, under social justice system is immediately required.
