Authors: Memeti Shaban , Kuci Saimir , Ibrahimi Alfred , Goga Marsela , Veshti Altin , Buba Sokol , Baboci Arben 
Published: October 2022

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a complex congenital heart condition which includes abnormal development of left sided cardiac structures leading to inadequate systemic perfusion following postnatal closure of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
Surgical palliation may be accomplished through a 3 staged process
-Norwood procedure. This surgery is usually done within the first two weeks of your child's life
-Bidirectional Glenn procedure. This procedure is generally the second surgery. It's done when your child is between 3 and 6 months of age.
-Fontan procedure. This surgery is usually done when your child is between 18 months and 4 years of age.
Patients with HLHS may need to undergo other non-cardiac surgical procedures during the first years of life posing a real challenge to the anesthesiologist, surgeon and the entire medical team.
We present the case of a 18-months old, 9 kg infant who presented for cryptorchidism surgery. Cryptorchidism or undescended testis (UDT) is one of the most common pediatric disorders of the male endocrine glands and the most common genital disorder identified at birth. The main reasons for treatment of cryptorchidism include increased risks of impairment of fertility potential, testicular malignancy, torsion and/or associated inguinal hernia.
The intraoperative implications of the hybrid anatomy are discussed, options for anesthetic care presented, and previous reports of anesthetic care for such patients reviewed.
Conclusion: LMA combined with local anesthesia was effective to maintaining optimal cardiac function of this child patient with HLHS
In summary, children with palliated HLHS have anesthetic considerations that must be followed in order to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality in this high-risk pathology.

Published: October 2022

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a formação didática dos professores de informática/computação no campus Colinas do Tocantins do Instituto Federal de Educação Ciência e Tecnologia, buscando contribuir com a reflexão sobre a prática docente, campo da própria Didática, tendo em vista o incremento da aprendizagem. Para isso, empreendeu uma análise do perfil de formação destes docentes, bem como de suas aproximações com a Didática enquanto campo de saber pedagógico, realizando o levantamento dos dados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e confrontando com o campo teórico Didático. Disserta acerca da relação entre os dilemas para a constituição do profissional professor de informática, o papel da Didática nessa constituição e as percepções dos docentes acerca do tema. O resultado do estudo provoca reflexões sobre a necessidade de se repensar a formação continuada do Professor da Educação Básica Técnica e Tecnológica de Informática/Computação. Embora os docentes se percebam como profissionais do ensino e reconheçam a relevância da Didática na concretização de suas atividades, ainda não se apropriaram dos saberes pedagógicos necessários a sua atuação no campo da informática/computação. A didática construída na prática de ensino dos professores é incerta posto que carece do saber teórico. Decorrente disso, a realização de multitarefas (a área técnica e área técnica pedagógica) caracteriza a empreitada desses profissionais, tornando o campo do ensino deficitário. Há que se pensar em processos formativos institucionalizados a serem desenvolvidos em meio a prática buscando superar a discrepância - desenvolver a área técnica ou desenvolver área técnica pedagógica do professor. Diante disso, é premente reformulação das políticas públicas da atividade docente nesse âmbito. As reflexões provocam repensar os desafios do Professor da Educação Básica Técnica e Tecnológica de Informática/Computação.
O que pensam os docentes sobre o uso da bioinformática no ensino de biologia
Authors: De Oliveira Moraes Isabelle , Fernandes Tavares Cezar-de-Mello Paula 
Published: October 2022

Apontada como um recurso didático inovador para o Ensino de Biologia, a Bioinformática possibilita a interpretação de dados genômicos e proteômicos com o auxílio da computação. Esse recurso, enquanto ferramenta didática, é pouco difundido no Ensino Básico brasileiro quando comparado aos países mais desenvolvidos. Para compreender o panorama acerca do emprego da Bioinformática enquanto um recurso metodológico no Ensino de Biologia, realizamos uma pesquisa exploratória através do levantamento de dados. O survey consistiu na aplicação de um questionário para licenciados (N=59) e licenciandos (N=17) de Ciências Biológicas. As respostas foram analisadas de forma quantitativa e qualitativa, por meio da Análise Temática. Verificou-se que 56% dos respondentes definiram a Bioinformática satisfatoriamente; o que se correlacionou com o ano de formação dos docentes. A potencialidade da Bioinformática no Ensino Básico associou-se, na perspectiva dos docentes, à possibilidade de contextualização de temas abstratos aos estudantes nativos digitais, à divulgação da área e à possibilidade de interdisciplinaridade. Com relação às limitações quanto ao seu uso, foram apontados a falta de experiência/conhecimento dos docentes, o engessamento curricular e a carência de infraestrutura. Os resultados indicam que, apesar de reconhecerem as potencialidades da Bioinformática enquanto recurso didático, os professores não apresentam a formação adequada para a sua utilização, sendo necessária a oferta de treinamentos para este tipo de ferramenta, o que demandaria uma maior aproximação entre a universidade e a Educação Básica.
Software infrastructure and data pipelines established for technical interoperability within a cross-border cooperation for the flora of the Bohemian Forest
Authors: Novotný Petr , Seifert Stefan , Rohn Martin , Diewald Wolfgang , Štech Milan , Triebel Dagmar 
Published: October 2022

The timely and geographical resolutions, as well as the quantity and taxon concepts of records on the occurrence of plants near national borders is often ambiguous. This is due to the regional focus and different approaches of the contributing national and regional databases and networks of the neighbouring countries. Careful data transformation between national data providers is essential for understanding distribution patterns and its dynamics for organisms in areas along the national borders. Sharing occurrence data through the international data aggregator Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is also complicated and has to consider that the underlying taxonomic concept and geographic information system of each single GBIF dataset might be different. In addition, some regional data providers have a restrictive (non-cc) licensing policy which does not allow data publication via the GBIF network. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate new ways to make data fit for use for a better and comprehensive understanding of the Flora of the Bohemian Forest.
In this paper, we present a bilateral technical interoperability solution for vascular plant occurrence data for the area between the Czech Republic and Bavaria. We describe the initial state of data providers in both countries and the factual and technical challenges in finding a sustainable concept to establish mutual data sharing. The resulting solution for a functional infrastructure and an agreed data pipeline is described in a step-by-step approach. The new distributed infrastructure allows botanists and other stakeholders from both countries to work within the cross-border context of historical and current plants' distribution.

Authors: Rahman Sarah , Sharma Neha , Valentim Carolina C. S. , Muste Justin C. , Iyer Amogh I. , Li Ang , Singh Rishi P. 
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To characterize rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) presentation and repair outcomes by race and socioeconomic status.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Retrospective cohort one-center study of adults with a new RRD repair from 2012 to 2020. Logistic and linear regression analyses were conducted.

RESULTS:

61.7% were male, 84.5% White and 9.4% Black (total
n
= 1092). 95.8% White and 94.2% Black patients had retinal reattachment (
P
= .234). Macula-off status was more likely with Medicare/Medicaid than private insurance (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.11 to 2.41,
P
= .014); and less likely with higher income (OR 0.88, CI 0.81 to 0.96,
P
= .003). Black patients had worse best visual acuity (BVA) at presentation and follow-up (follow-up −6.93 letters, CI −13.19 to −0.64,
P
= .031), and higher odds of postoperative ocular hypertension (OHTN) (OR 2.41, CI 1.28 to 4.60,
P
= .007).

CONCLUSIONS:
Despite equivalent retinal reattachment rates, Black patients have worse BVA, and are more likely to develop OHTN than White patients. Macula-off status is less likely in patients with higher income or private insurance.

Suitable yeast extract concentration for the production of self-healing mortar with expanded clay as bacterial carrier
Authors: Risdanareni P. , Ma L. , Wang J. , De Belie N. 
Published: October 2022

In microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) system, yeast extract (YE) is needed for spores germination. The aim of this research is to evaluate the minimum amount of YE in mortar that allows spores of Bacillus sphaericus to germinate with limited negative effect on mortar properties. Two YE concentrations of 2 and 5 g/l were tested and compared to a reference without YE. To protect the bacteria in the mortar matrix, spores or cells were encapsulated into porous expanded clay. The ureolytic activity of bacteria with YE variation, the mechanical properties and the healing ability of mortar were assessed. The results show that a YE concentration of 2 g/l provided acceptable mortar properties, while it was sufficient for spores to germinate and provide a satisfactory healing ability to resulting mortar. When vegetative cells are used as a healing agent, it is best to omit yeast extract from the mortar mixture.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate high school students’ perceptions of the Internet of Things in the evaluation of new trends in education. The research was designed in accordance with the qualitative research method. The study group of the research consists of 83 high school students studying in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the 2021–2022 academic year. The study group was given a 4-week Internet of Things online awareness training. After the training, interviews were held with high school students. A Semi-Structured Interview Form prepared by the researchers was used as a data collection tool in the interviews. As a result of the research, the knowledge level of high school students on the concept of the Internet of Things was evaluated as very low before the online awareness training and as high after the online awareness training. High school students, on the Internet of Things online education, while they had an indecisive attitude before the training, these attitudes changed positively after the training. High school students participating in the research stated that they found the achievements of the Internet of Things awareness training to be high. In addition, with the IoT awareness training given to the students, the students stated that they had a positive opinion about the use of IoT applications in education. In order to ensure the integration of IoT applications into education, it is necessary to provide necessary for instructors, prepare school infrastructures and make curriculum arrangements.

Academic Employers' Impressions Regarding the Qualifications of Athletic Trainers With the Doctor of Athletic Training Degree
Authors: Welch Bacon Cailee E. , Strout Nicole R. , Clines Stephanie , Van Lunen Bonnie L. , Eberman Lindsey E. 
Published: October 2022

Context
The emergence of the doctor of athletic training (DAT) degree creates opportunities to develop advanced practice leaders in athletic training. Preliminary data suggest academic employers are likely to hire and believe it would be beneficial to hire someone with a DAT degree; however, it remains unclear how academic employers perceive the DAT degree.

Objectives
To explore the impressions of academic employers regarding the qualifications of athletic trainers (ATs) with the DAT degree for employment in the academic setting.

Design
Qualitative study.

Setting
Individual video interviews.

Participants
A total of 11 employers who are ATs (8 women, 3 men; age = 42 ± 8.5 years; years as an educator = 10.3 ± 5.9 years).

Data Collection and Analysis
The primary investigator interviewed participants via individual video conferences using a semistructured interview guide to gather perceptions of the DAT degree and the role of ATs with the DAT in academic settings. Data were analyzed and coded into common themes and categories, followed by triangulation of data via the research team and member checking to ensure data accuracy.

Results
One predominant theme emerged relative to the employers' impressions regarding qualifications of ATs with the DAT degree. Participants characterized those with the DAT degree as being capable of conducting practice-based research and implementing innovative practices in and outside of the classroom. Participants also described DAT-credentialed ATs as individuals who embodied advanced practice characteristics demonstrated through leadership, soft skills, core competencies, and advanced application of knowledge and skills.

Conclusions
Although academic employers' impressions toward hiring DAT-credentialed ATs were positive, the focus and role of the DAT degree remains unclear. Further education is needed within the athletic training community to clarify the goal and focus of the DAT degree and its role in athletic training education.

Authors: Rajmohan Priyanka , Gopinathan Unnikrishnan Uttumadathil , Parvin Ashraf Saudha Nada , Jose Maria , Raphael Lucy , Thomas Joe 
Published: October 2022

Objective:
To determine the real-world effectiveness of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 coronavirus vaccine in preventing severe disease and mortality due to COVID-19.

Methods:
A case-case design was used to estimate the effect of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 coronavirus vaccine on severe SARS-CoV-2 outcomes in individuals aged 40 years and above. Cases (n=200) were COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) or who died. Controls (n=223) were those with mild COVID-19, fit for home isolation. The logistic regression model was used to estimate adjusted vaccine effectiveness for full vaccination (two doses ≥14 d) and partial vaccination status (one dose ≥14 d or two doses <14 d).

Results:
The proportion of fully vaccinated individuals was significantly lower among cases (12, 6.0%) compared to controls (30, 13.5%). The adjusted effectiveness of a full dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 coronavirus vaccine in preventing ICU admission or death was 81.9% (95% CI: 61.3%-91.6%, P=0.001). Subgroup analysis restricted to age group, sex, and comorbidities found that ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 coronavirus vaccine had a significant positive effect in all subgroups and categories.

Conclusion:
COVID-19 vaccination reduces ICU admissions or death. Therefore, increased vaccine uptake may reduce the severity of the pandemic, more so in the elderly and those with comorbidities.

Authors: Mala Shenoy Manjunath , Ahmed Bendigeri Mukhthar 
Published: October 2022

Rationale:
Symmetrical peripheral gangrene is a rare acute condition triggered by several medical conditions. It needs to be recognized early and treated as an emergency.

Patient’s Concern:
A 40-year-old patient without any comorbidities presented with sudden onset of pain, swelling, blistering and bluish discoloration of the fingers and toes associated with fever and constitutional symptoms. Later the fingers and toes turned dark and they were cold to touch.

Diagnosis:
Diagnosis of symmetrical peripheral gangrene was made and investigated. Blood culture isolated Escherichia coli indicating a possible role in the causation of symmetrical peripheral gangrene.

Interventions:
Patient was managed with antibiotics and anticoagulants along with supportive care.

Outcomes:
There was improvement in patient’s general condition along with development of gangrene demarcation line of the fingers and toes.

Lessons:
Awareness of this condition is needed and an early management is recommended including recognizing the cause and supportive therapy to prevent complications.
Quantitative electroencephalography – A promising biomarker in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Authors: Sharma Mini , Kumar Manoj , Kushwaha Suman , Kumar Deepak 
Published: October 2022

Background:
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Experimental studies have reported increased theta activity and reduced beta activity on electroencephalography (EEG), although theta wave tends to appear during meditative, drowsy, hypnotic, or sleeping states.

Aims:
We aimed to study EEG changes in children with significant severity of ADHD.

Settings and Design:
A cross-sectional study was designed for the children with ADHD presenting to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Department (OPD) of IHBAS.

Methodology:
A total of 33 ADHD children in the age group of 5–12 years attending OPD were included in the study after qualifying the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study.
DSM-5 criteria were used to make the diagnosis of ADHD and severity was assessed using Conners' Rating Scale-Revised Parent short version. The children with more than 50% score on the Conners Scale were included in the study. The quantification of the recorded EEG was done using Fast Fourier Transformation by New Natus NeuroWorks computer software.

Statistical Analysis:
The data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0.

Results:
Around 3/4th of participants in the study showed elevated theta: beta ratio results on qEEG.

Conclusions:
Although ADHD is marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, children with ADHD showed marked elevated theta: beta ratio indicating raised slow-wave changes in cortical activity, thus concluding quantitative EEG as a promising biomarker in children with ADHD.
Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome: A Common Cause of Lateral Knee Pain in Long-Distance Runners
Authors: Gupta Pooja , Yadav Deep , Singh Kamlesh Kumar , Bhattacharjee Saikat 
Published: October 2022

Introduction:
Iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS) is an injury of the knee joint which is common in long distance runners and cyclists. It is caused by repetitive friction between the iliotibial band and the lateral femoral epicondyle during active flexion and extension of the knee.

Methods:
Magnetic resonance imaging of the knee was performed for 45 long distance runners who presented with lateral knee pain after long distance running for 6 months. The analysis of the images was done by two radiologists in all the three planes to confirm or rule out any findings suggestive of ITBFS. The various imaging features which were noted in the MRI scans by the radiologists to label it as ITBFS were poorly defined abnormal signal intensity deep to the iliotibial band as the primary finding and other associated MRI findings such as fluid collection medial to the iliotibial band, increased thickness of the iliotibial band and joint effusion.

Results:
Out of these 45 runners 30 patients had ITBFS, 3 had lateral collateral ligament sprain, 3 had a grade III tear of the lateral meniscus, 3 had synovial effusion and six had normal scans.

Discussion:
Iliotibial band friction syndrome occurs because of overuse and can be confused with other disorders and MRI is able to differentiate it from other conditions.

Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT

Background
There are few reports of dexterity tests being done in a distance telecommunication setting for residency applicant evaluation.

Objective
To report the feasibility and suitability of a virtual suturing skills assessment during residency interviews when added to the standard assessment process.

Methods
A suturing simulation was developed and implemented during otolaryngology–head and neck surgery (OHNS) residency interviews for the 2020-2021 cycle at one program. On the day of the interview, the activity was completed in real time using 2-camera video conferencing with the 2 resident assessors providing a numerical assessment based on an adapted scoring rubric from prior suturing activities at the institution. The exercise involved suturing a 3/4-inch Penrose drain circumferentially with half-vertical mattress stitches to simulate the maturation of a tracheostoma. The residency selection committee then completed a 7-item Likert-type survey, developed by the authors, to evaluate the simulation exercise.

Results
Fifty-one applicants representing all interviewees in the cycle successfully completed this assessment without technologic disruptions. The total cost associated with obtaining and providing the necessary supplies to applicants was $34.78 per interviewee. Time required to complete the suturing task was estimated to range from 10 to 20 minutes. The residency selection committee viewed this exercise as a success (14 of 16, 87.5%) and viewed the results as a valuable adjunct in the overall assessment of candidates (15 of 16, 93.8%).

Conclusions
A simple motor exercise completed over real-time telecommunication was feasible and perceived as helpful to the residency selection committee when assessing OHNS residency candidates.
