Performance of Zirconium and Zirconium Alloys in Organics
Authors: Yau T-L 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Zirconium and its alloys are well known for their corrosion resistance in a broad range of inorganic and organic media. They have played a key role in advancing the production technologies of urea and formic, acetic, hydroxyacetic, lactic, and methacrylic acids, methyl methacrylate, rayon, alcohols, and phenolic resins, etc. Laboratory data and case histories are used to demonstrate the advantages of zirconium and its alloys. Compared to other engineering alloys, the use of zirconium and its alloys allows producers to make products of high quality by operating processes at higher temperatures/pressures for improved efficiency and yield. Unlike many metallic ions, zirconium produces colorless ions. Most transition metals produce ions of different colors depending on their valence state. An increasingly important advantage is that zirconium appears to be nontoxic and biocompatible.
Limitations of zirconium and its alloys in organics are also discussed. They may be vulnerable in certain organic halides, such as acetyl chloride, that are incompatible with water. In water-soluble organics, such as methanol, water is necessary to inhibit localized corrosion. There are impurities, such as copper ions in acetic acid, that are undesirable for zirconium and its alloys. Control measures, such as water addition and stress relieving, can be applied to zirconium equipment in certain extreme conditions.

Objective. A comparative assessment of the eﬃcacy and safety of the preemptive use of ibuprofen and ketoprofen in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.Material and methods. A multicenter randomized prospective study included 58 patients grouped into 2 arms. Ibuprofen 800 mg in Group 1 (N=32), and ketoprofen 100 mg in Group 2 (N=26) were administered intravenously 30 minutes prior to surgical procedure, and afterwards every 12 hours during patient’s stay in the intensive care unit. Eﬃcacy and safety were assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS), patient’s need in opioid analgesics, laboratory parameters (serum levels of cortisol, cystatin C, CBC, coagulogram, TEG) and instrumental methods (algesimetry — qNOX).Results. VAS values were 32.4% lower in Group 1 vs Group 2 in the immediate postoperative period, P=0.003. By the end of Day 1 this difference was no longer visible following the use of promedol. There was a correlation between qNOX values at the end of surgery and VAS values at patient’s waking up from anesthesia (P=0.0007). Cortisol plasma concentrations in groups 1 and 2 did not differ significantly, P=0.105. The average daily promedol consumption in Groups 1 and 2 was 42±17.5 mg/day and 50±19.7 mg/day, respectively, P=0.022. Cystatin C concentrations in the first morning after surgery was 0.95±0.29 mg/l in the ibuprofen group, and 1.19±0.43 mg/l — in the ketoprofen group, P=0.027. Signs of renal dysfunction were documented in 4 out of 32 patients (12, 5%) from Group 1, and in 10 of 26 (38.5%) patients from Group 2 since the end of surgery and up to the first postop morning, the Chi-squared value was 0.031. Hemostasis was not affected by NSAIDs use in both groups.Conclusion. Ibuprofen provided more powerful analgesia, than ketoprofen in the postoperative period, while during surgical procedure both drugs showed similar anlgesic eﬃcacy. Patients on ibuprofen required significantly fewer additional boluses of opioid analgesics. Both drugs showed no clinically significant effect on hemostasis and hematopoiesis. More rare occurrence of renal dysfunction in Group 1 patients is indicative of lower nephrotoxicity of ibuprofen.

Recommendations for the meanings of words by Estonian language planning – justified and necessary, or not?
Authors: Risberg Lydia 
Published: February 2024

On the example of Estonian language planning, this research paper explores whether it is justified and necessary to give recommendations for the meanings of words. The focus is on the general language. Technical language is out of the scope of this research. First, a brief overview of the history of Estonian language planning and the development of Standard Estonian, as well as the current situation is provided. Then the paper focuses on recent research on the meanings of words in Estonian. The purpose was to revise the recommendations for the meanings of words by Estonian language planning. The research is based on the common approaches in Estonian linguistics today – the usage-based linguistics and corpus linguistics. The paper argues that recommendations by language planning for the meanings of words are not justified nor necessary in the general language, even if some explanations on the choice of words are relevant (e.g., for offensive words).

Published: February 2024

OBJECTIVES
To evaluate usability of and clinician satisfaction with the electronic health record (EHR) in the context of caring for children with medical complexity (CMC) at a large academic pediatric hospital and to identify key areas for targeted improvements.

METHODS
Cross-sectional study of pediatric faculty and advanced practice providers across several pediatric specialties using an online Research Electronic Data Capture survey. EHR usability was measured with 6 validated questions from the National Usability-Focused Health Information System Scale, and satisfaction with common EHR functionalities was measured with 6 original Likert-scale questions and 3 free-text questions. Results were analyzed with bivariate testing.

RESULTS
More than half of providers completed the survey (n = 81, response rate 56%). When asked 6 positively-phrased, validated usability questions, a majority of respondents either agreed or were neutral. Respondents were most dissatisfied with information quality of the summary view and most satisfied with physician communication. Older respondents were less satisfied with EHR usability (P &lt; .01). Focusing on functionalities needed for CMC, the majority of respondents were dissatisfied with the chart review process. More respondents were dissatisfied with order entry (P = .002) and documentation (P = .017) when caring for CMC compared with caring for other patients. The most cited challenges were locating recent patient data, performing an accurate medication reconciliation, and lack of specialized documentation templates.

CONCLUSIONS
Clinicians are less satisfied with common EHR functionalities when caring for CMC compared with caring for all other patients. Targeted interventions to improve usability and common EHR functionalities for CMC are necessary to improve the user experience.

AbstractCarbapenems are considered to be among the last line antibiotics against extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacterales. Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has been frequently reported and its spread in Europe is indisputable and poses an enormous threat to hospitalized patients which is of growing concern. This review aims to record prevalence of CRKP in the Balkan region and to review the current knowledge about this life-threatening pathogen. In this review, we summarize data about clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae from Greece, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Albania from published reports between 2000 and 2023. Among Balkan countries, Greece and Romania are the ones with the most reports about CRKP. Since 2007, KPCs are the dominant carbapenemases in both countries. KPC-2 and NDM-1-producing K. pneumoniae strains have been identified as the most frequent CRKP in Croatia, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Slovenia. OXA-48 enzyme has been identified in most Balkan countries. In addition, since 2018, CRKP sequence type 11 (ST11) seems to have replaced ST258 in Balkan Peninsula, while ST15 continues to thrive throughout the years. Not only efficacy of colistin against CRKP has decreased dramatically during the last ten years but colistin resistance mechanism is based on alterations of chromosomal mgrB gene, rather than the already known mcr genes.Moreover, ceftazidime-avibactam-resistant CRKP were detected mostly in Greece. Emergence of CRKP poses a severe threat to the Balkan countries. Due to the narrow therapeutic window, it is essential to prevent the spread of multiresistant K. pneumoniae strains.

Authors: Grigoryeva N. N. , Airapetov G. A. 
Published: February 2024

Introduction A coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, called COVID-19 by the WHO has caused a pandemic of respiratory illness killed more than 6 million people. The severe infection has a significant negative impact on the entire musculoskeletal system.The objective was to summarize literature data on the mechanisms of the condition and identify musculoskeletal symptoms of COVID-19.Material and methods An internet search of PubMed, MedLine and eLIBRARY library databases using the search terms: COVID-19, aseptic osteonecrosis, post-COVID-19 syndrome, arthropathy, musculoskeletal system, spondylitis, osteoporosis was performed.Results and discussion Musculoskeletal symptoms of COVID-19 are reported in 31-59% of cases. Mechanisms of musculoskeletal involvement of coronavirus infection include cytotoxic effect of the virus on osteogenesis cells, vascular inflammation and coagulopathy, “cytokine storm”, side effects of drug therapy and hypoxia. According to an etiological factor, musculoskeletal manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 include autoimmune (reactive arthritis, sacroiliitis, ankylosing spondylitis, axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis) conditions caused by impaired circulation of bone tissue (aseptic osteonecrosis), infectious (septic arthritis, spondylitis, spondylodiscitis) and metabolic (osteopenia, osteoporosis) conditions.Conclusion It has been established that COVID-19 infection has a negative impact on the musculoskeletal, endocrine and immune systems increasing the risk of degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system and infectious complications in orthopaedic patients early post surgery.

Published: February 2024

Introduction Elbow trauma is common accounting for 40-50 % of all musculoskeletal injuries in children. From them, lateral condyle fractures are the second most common fractures in the pediatric elbow with complications ranging from 3.3 to 54.8 %.The objective was to determine the effectiveness of nonunion of the lateral humeral condyle (LHC) treated with bone grafts harvested from the patient's fibular shaft and the Ilizarov apparatus.Material and methods We report surgical treatment of bone defect repaired with bone graft and the Ilizarov apparatus in 57 children with nonunion of the LHC. Maintained articulation between the non-united bone and the radial head, magnitude and direction of displacement, visible resorption of the epimetaphysis, bone deficiency, malaligned upper limb, late ulnar neuritis were the parameters used for outcome assessment. Depending on the type of surgical treatment the patients were divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (n = 13) included patients who underwent open osteosynthesis and bone fixation using 2-3 Kirschner wires; Group 2 (n = 30) consisted of patients who underwent surgery to repair the bone defect between the humerus metaphysis and an non-united fragment of the LHC fixed with wires and immobilized with a cast; Group 3 (n = 12) included patients who were treated with bone graft followed by fixation of the bone and the graft using Ilizarov wires and frame. Two patients underwent supracondylar osteotomy.Results The outcomes were evaluated based on criteria to include non-union consolidation, joint function, limb alignment and condition of the growth plate. Long-term results were explored in 49 (85.9 %) patients out of 57 over a period of 6 months to 10 years. The results were rates as good in 39 (79.6 %) patients, as fair in 9 (18.36 %) and poor in one (2.04 %) case.Discussion Various types of operations are reported for non-united fractures and non-unions of the cervical spine to include surgeries from open osteosynthesis to complicated reconstructions.Conclusion Surgeries aimed at repair of bone defects using fibular autograft facilitated consolidation of non-unions and engraftments.

Published: February 2024

Introduction Among the generally accepted theories of the etiology and pathogenesis of palmar fascial fibromatosis, the role of infectious factors has not been considered; however, there are references to fungal skin lesions in patients with advanced contractures and several studies that identified fungal infection in surgical material from such patients.The purpose of the work was to assess the pathogenetic and clinical significance of fungal infection of the palmar fascia in Dupuytren's contracture.Materials and methods We studied 41 medical records of patients operated on for Dupuytren's contracture in stages II-IV. The surgical material was examined at the light-optical level (hematoxylin-eosin and methenamine-silver PASM stains) and with scanning electron microscopy.Results Fungal infection of the palmar aponeurosis was detected in 20 out of 41 patients; various types of tissue reaction to the introduction of fungi into the palmar aponeurosis and the blood vessels perforating it were found. Groups of patients without signs of fungal invasion (n = 21) and with signs of fungal infection of the palmar aponeurosis (n = 20) were comparable in clinical and demographic characteristics, but significantly differed in the rate of early relapses, 0 versus 25 % in the group with fungal infection (p = 0.02).Discussion The immunogenetic characteristics of patients with palmar fascial fibromatosis and characteristic skin lesions create general and local conditions for the introduction of fungal flora.Conclusion Histological detection of pseudohyphae of the genus Candida in the palmar aponeurosis and the lumens of blood vessels in patients with Dupuytren's contracture verifies invasive candidiasis; the relationship between fungal infection of the aponeurosis and an increased rate of early relapses of contracture has been statistically proven. To increase the duration of the relapse-free period and potentially the life expectancy of patients, consultations with infectious disease mycologists and correction of modifiable risk factors for candidiasis are necessary.

Published: February 2024

In Betawi families, not all daughters are provided with the opportunity to pursue higher education. The prevailing societal stigma suggests that women do not require higher education due to the presumption that their primary focus should be on domestic responsibilities. This research aims to comprehend and explore the influence of the communicative role of the Betawi ethnic family on the attitudes of female offspring towards pursuing higher education. The participants of this study are 254 females who are presently enrolled in or have completed their education at higher education institutions. They primarily reside in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. The analysis is conducted through Spearman-Rank analysis. The results indicate a strong correlation between family communication and the attitudes of female offspring towards pursuing higher education. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the parental capacity to appreciate and respect a child’s decisions, particularly in selecting majors and schools, significantly influences their interest in pursuing higher education. However, the researcher acknowledges several limitations of this study, especially pertaining to the sample size utilized. Hence, future research should utilize more extensive methodologies and measures to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the motives and attitudes of female descendants towards pursuing higher education. Moreover, it is anticipated that future researchers will be able to devise effective communication strategies involving stakeholders, such as the government and educational institutions, to implement inclusive programs regardless of ethnicity, race, and religion.
