Acute Kidney Injury – An Underestimated Problem In Pediatric Intensive Care / Akûts Nieru Bojâjums — Nenovçrtçta Problçma Bçrnu Intensîvajâ Terapijâ
Authors: Krastiņš Jēkabs 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs in critically ill children and adults, with 5-20% of patients experiencing an episode during their stay in an intensive care unit. AKI rarely is an isolated event and is associated with a broader spectrum of diseases, including sepsis and respiratory insufficiency, and often progresses into multiorgan dysfunction syndrome. Despite recent advancements in renal replacement therapy (RRT), mortality among patients who sustain AKI complicated by multiorgan dysfunction appears to have remained unchanged and is estimated at approximately 50%. Recent clinical evidence suggests that AKI is not only an indicator for severity of illness, but that it also leads to earlier onset of multiorgan dysfunction with profound effects on mortality rates. The aim of this paper is to inform medical professionals involved in the paediatric intensive care of recent advances in AKI diagnosis and management. Studies were identified from MEDLINE (OVID), PubMed, and the Cochrane Library for topics relevant to AKI. There is limited evidence in paediatrics regarding effective therapy for acute kidney injury, a significant problem in the paediatric intensive care unit that extends length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and overall mortality. Sublethal kidney injury may be contributing to overall morbidity. Prospective clinical trials are needed to evaluate specific diagnostic aids, such as biomarkers, and therapeutic strategies like early initiation of continuous RRT in children with fluid overload

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the intensity of pain in orthopaedic hospital patients and to identify unsatisfactory pain management and possibilities for improvements in the future. Data collection included Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores, which characterised the intensity of pain. Maximum pain on the day of surgery, mean pain on the day of surgery (D0), and mean pain on first (D1) and second (D2) postoperative days were documented. The pain of an intensity from 0 to 3 was defined as mild pain, 4 to 6 as moderate pain, and 6 to 10 as severe pain. Maximum severe pain intensity on the day of surgery was experienced by 20.5% of patients, moderate by 45.8%, and mild by 33.6%. The reported mean pain intensity according to type of surgery was as follows: hip replacement- 2.79 ± 1.6 (D0), 2.09 ± 1.4 (D1), and 1.35 ± 1.2 (D2); knee replacement - 3.39 ± 1.7 (D0), 2.98 ± (D1), 1.82 ± 1.36, and (D2); upper extremity surgery - 3.59 ± 1.9 (D0), 3.4 ± 1.7 (D1), and 2.1 ± 1.5 (D2); lower extremity surgery - 4.1 ± 2.1 (D0), 3.49 ± 1.42 (D1), and 2.58 ± 1.4 (D2); spine surgery - 3.31 ± 1.58 (D0), 2.88 ± 1.96 (D1), and 1.83 ± 1.74 (D2). Patients in the lower extremity group experienced unacceptable mean pain. The maximum pain intensity on day of surgery was experienced by patients after single-shot plexus brachialis block anaesthesia (5.24 ± 2.4). Well-designed multimodal analgesia with special attention to single shot techniques may improve pain management and functional outcomes after orthopaedic surgery.

Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) occurs in 1 to 4% after acute pulmonary embolism. CTEPH can be cured by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), which is approved golden standard in chronic condition. There were performed three cases of PEA in Latvian Cardiology Centre during 2013-2014. General anaesthesia under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with deep hypothermic circulatory arrests was provided. The core issue is correct patient selection (in terms of central PA obstruction by thrombus) as well as pulmonary circulation recovery capacity. Neuroprotection was provided by deep hypothermia, topical cooling of the head, Trendelenburg position, mild hypocapnia, Hb 9-10 g/L and pharmacological agents. For screening postoperative cognitive function the mini mental state examination (MMSE) was used before and after the surgery. Postoperative pulmonary vascular resistance index decreased by 56.3% (right ventricular systolic pressure decreased from 93.3 ± 25.7 to 44.5 ± 11.2 mmHg). Before the surgery three patients had NYHA functional class III or IV, at the time of discharge - I or II. In one case moderate (MMSE 18) cognitive disorders was observed at discharge from the ICU. No one died neither in the hospital nor within 30 days of discharge. The surgery improved RV function and pulmonary perfusion with no considerable organ failure, except mild cognitive disorders.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a common complication characterised by severe hypoxemia, which leads to high mortality rates in ICU patients. Imbalance between oxidative stress markers like oxidants and antioxidants may play an important role in pathophysiology of the syndrome. We observed 17 ARDS patients during seven days after inclusion, with the main goal to describe dynamic changes in the level of oxidative stress markers in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. We found that there are dynamic differences in the level of malondialdechyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. There were also different levels of oxidative stress markers in non-survivor compared with survivor groups. Increased level of an oxidant like a thiobarbituric acid substance with malondialdechyde (TBS_MDA) and antioxidant glutathionperoxidase (GPx) at the first day after inclusion was related with poor outcome in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Summary
Objectives: Quantitative values of cardiac iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) global and regional adrenergic innervation showed promising results in predicting clinical course of heart failure. Nevertheless data is lacking how global and regional cardiac 123I-MIBG imaging parameters correlate with patient’s clinical data and conventional heart failure markers.

Patients and methods: Eighty-six patientswith class II-IVNewYorkHeartAssociation (NYHA) heart failure were investigated. Patients underwent early and late cardiac 123I-MIBG planar and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanning. Global and regional cardiac 123I-MIBG scores were calculated and compared to conventional heart failure markers (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and maximum rate of oxygen consumption (VO2 max)), followed by NYHA functional class clinical assessment at the time of investigation.

Results: Weak statistically significant correlation was noted between LVEF and global and regional cardiac adrenergic denervation scores, between BNP and VO2 max and global cardiac adrenergic denervation scores. Global and regional cardiac adrenergic denervation scores significantly differed within LVEF ranges. Global cardiac adrenergic denervation scores significantly differed within BNP levels and NYHA functional class.

Conclusions: Conventional cardiac heart failure markers had weak correlation with global and regional cardiac 123I-MIBG imaging parameters. Cardiac 123I-MIBG imaging markers differed significantly depending on LVEF and BNP levels, and NYHA functional class.
Geographical and Human Impact Elements Influence on the Fish Fauna of the Olteţ River (Romania)

Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
A white spot regarding the fish fauna of the upper and middle Olteṭ River was covered and the significant changes appeared in this respect and in the lower course were identified. In general the passing of the river from one type of geographical/relief type unit to another, induce the changing of the ichthyological zone and the increasing of the fish species number. There where this natural situation did not appear is because different human impact causes create unnatural variations in fish communities’ compositions and individuals’ number. The presence of a various human impact especially downstream the mountain area makes to exist here a relative unbalanced fish fauna structure, in comparison with the mountainous sector. Overall, the geographical and human impact elements, and a result of them, the self cleaning capacity of river, are main driving forces which induce the fish fauna composition variability.

International migration and development: perspective from origin countries of migrants
Authors: Kunwar Laxman Singh 
Published: January 2015

This paper seeks to critically analyze the role of migration to carry out development in origin countries of migrants. Now, migration and development; development in the origin of migrants’ is being widely discussed among governmental and non-governmental institutions in the world. At the same time the flow of migrants’ from economically less developed nations or regions to more developed nations or regions have been increased significantly. The volume of remittances also has been increased every year. Some countries adopted the policy of labour export since a long period of time but there is no achievement in development in the countries. The aim of this paper is to relate achievement in development of migrants’ origin countries with remittances with the help of available literature. The existing debate on migration and development is also a part of review of this paper. The migration-development relationship is complex and multidimensional, and that there is variation from one context to another with differences in the nature of migration and in the economic, political and social situations in origin and destination. It would be problematic and insufficient to analyze migration process and its consequences with the help of any single theory or approach of migration, because migration process has far reaching effects on national and international level and varies differently for different part of world on the basis of achievement on social, political, and economic development.

Does the real-time thermal damage estimate allow for estimation of tumor control after MRI-guided laser-induced thermal therapy? Initial experience with recurrent intracranial ependymomas
Authors: Patel Nitesh V. , Jethwa Pinakin R. , Shetty Anil , Danish Shabbar F. 
Published: January 2015

OBJECT
Although control of intracranial ependymomas is highly correlated with degree of resection, it is unknown if the same is true for MRI-guided laser-induced thermal therapy (MRgLITT). The authors report their experience with MRgLITT for ependymoma and examine the utility of the real-time thermal damage estimate (TDE), a recent software advance, with respect to completeness of ablation and impact on tumor control. To the authors' knowledge, this is the largest single-center experience utilizing MRgLITT for recurrent ependymomas.

METHODS
Five tumors in 4 patients were treated with the Visualase Thermal Therapy System. Two tumors were treated similarly on recurrence. Ablation was performed using a 980-nm diode laser with a real-time image acquisition system. Single-plane TDEs were calculated and compared with the original lesion area to compute percentage area ablated (PAA). Volumetric analysis was performed, and percentage volume ablated (PVA) was estimated and correlated with the TDE. Tumor control was correlated with the TDE and volumetric data during treatment.

RESULTS
Nine ablations were performed on 5 tumors, 2 of which had multiple recurrences. The average pretreatment lesion volume was 8.4 ± 6.3 cm3, and the average largest 2D area was 5.3 ± 2.7 cm2. The averaged TDE was 3.9 ± 2.1 cm2, average PAA was 80.1% ± 34.3%, and average PVA was 64.4% ± 23.5%. For subtotal ablations, average recurrence time was 4.4 ± 5.3 months; 1 adult case remains recurrence-free at 40 months. Using TDEs, the correlation between recurrence time and PAA was r = 0.93 (p = 0.01), and for PVA was r = 0.88 (p = 0.02). Furthermore, PVA and PAA were strongly correlated (r = 0.88, p = 0.02).

CONCLUSIONS
Through using the PAA, the real-time TDE correlated with the volume of ablation in this initial investigation. Furthermore, the TDE and volumetric data corresponded to the level of tumor control, with time to recurrence dependent on ablation completeness. MRgLITT may have a role in the management of recurrent ependymomas, especially with recent software advances.
Scomber gaditano en Éfeso. Una Dressel 12 con titulus encontrada en la “Casa Aterrazada 2” de Éfeso

Gaditan scomber in Ephesos. A new Dressel 12 with titulus found in the "terrace house 2" at Ephesos.
The baetican fish products were exported around the whole Roman world, their traffic reaching its highest level around the 1st century A. D. In this period we can find Baetican fish amphorae from the Levant up to the British islands. Ephesus, one of the richest cities in Antiquity, was not an exception, and the arrival of these products there is confirmed by the presence of various exemplars of Baetican amphorae. However, there hadn’t been a piece up to date that presented us with so much information about its content and its trade as the one I discuss in the present text, thanks to a partly preserved ink inscription. Moreover, the domestic context where it was found is one of the wealthiest in Ephesus, which makes the piece particularly meaningful.
Making Another World Possible
Authors: Ryley Peter 
Published: January 2015

Making Another World Possible identifies the British contribution to the genealogy of modern green and anti-capitalist thinking by examining left libertarian ideologies in the late 19th and early 20th century Britain and highlighting their influence on present day radical thought.
As capitalism heralded the triumph of technology, greater production, and a new urban industrial society, some imagined alternatives to this notion of progress based on endless economic growth. The book examines the development of ideas from these dissidents who included communists, class warriors, free thinkers, secularists, and Christian communitarians. All shared the same beliefs that the benefits of industrialism could only be realized through equality and that urban culture depended on a healthy agriculture and harmony with the natural world - concerns that are still of great importance today.
This distinctive history of anarchist ideas reappraises the work of thinkers and revises the historical picture of the radical milieu in 19th and 20th century Britain. It will be an essential resource to anyone researching the history of ideas and studying anarchism.

Semantic Features of Hungarian Neologisms With the Prefix Be: Analysis of Some Frequently Used Verbs (e.g., bevállal)
Authors: Sólyom Réka 
Published: January 2015

The present paper deals with the semantic features of three Hungarian neologisms (becéloz, betámad, bevállal), and analyzes their semantic structures with the help of the Conceptual Integration Theory (Blending Theory). The words analyzed are verbs that have been used with the prefix be in recent years, although they are well-established with other prefix(es). As be is one of the oldest Hungarian prefixes, it has likely gained new function(s) in these cases. To substantiate this claim, data was gathered from two questionnaires (in 2010 and in 2014), and informants’ answers concerning meaning and style were analyzed. These data can help the survey in other fields too: firstly, they can help model the processes of understanding (or misunderstanding) of these neologisms, secondly, they can help model the semantic structures of the verbs within the framework of Blending Theory. Thirdly, these data can help indicate language use at a given point in time, from a synchronic viewpoint.
