Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy operation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of kidney stones.

Aim:
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on analgesic consumption in patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Subjects and Methods:
The data of 60 cases who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy operation between 01.01.2020 January and 12.01.2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Hemodynamic parameters, verbal analogue scale adjectives, total morphine consumption, additional analgesic and antiemetic need, duration of hospitalization, and patient satisfaction score were compared in patients who had ESPB and did not have block.

Results:
Demographic data and hemodynamic parameters were similar between the two groups. Verbal rating scale values were lower for Group I at 2, 6, 12, and 24 h (P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction score was significantly higher in Group I over 24 h (P = 0.039). Total morphine consumption at postoperative 2nd, 6th, and 24th h was less than that of Group II (P < 0.05). Analgesia consumption in postoperative 24 h of group I was less than that of Group II (P = 0.001). The amount of fentanyl given intraoperatively was significantly higher in Group II (P = 0.001). Nausea and vomiting rates were significantly lower for Group I (P = 0.002).

Conclusion:
Ultrasound-guided ESPB reduced postoperative morphine consumption and the rate of nausea and vomiting.
Distribution of cesarean delivery by Robson classification and predictors of postspinal anesthesia hypotension in Windhoek referral hospitals
Authors: Rukewe A , Orlam I , Akande A , Fatiregun AA 
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
There are concerns that high cesarean section (CS) rates are driven by nonmedical indications and unmitigated maternal hypotension following spinal anesthesia (SA) has materno fetal effects.

Aims:
Our objective was to investigate CS rates using Robson classification, identify patient groups for focused intervention as well as assess the incidence and predictors of maternal hypotension following SA for cesarean delivery.

Subjects and Methods:
A cross sectional design was employed over 3 months (February–April, 2019). Data about total deliveries (vaginal and operative) were obtained from the hospital medical records. For parturients who had CS, variables which covered maternal characteristics, conduct of anesthesia, and the index pregnancy according to Robson classification system were entered into a proforma designed for the study.

Results:
The total deliveries were 3031, of which 556 were CSs, giving a CS rate of 18.3%. Twenty one nonconsenting parturients were excluded, so 535 responded. Robson groups 5, 10, and 1 combined contributed 75% [401/535] to the overall CS. Two or more previous CS, 29.7% [159/535], was the main indication for performing CS, followed by maternal request 12.9% [69/535]. The incidence of maternal hypotension was 62.6% (293/468); the independent predictors were elective CS and having comorbidities.

Conclusion:
We found a low CS rate and Robson groups 5, 10, and 1 were the major contributors – previous CS (≥2) and maternal request were the predominant indications for performing CS. The independent predictors of SA induced hypotension were presence of comorbidities and elective CS

Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
Bronchiectasis is characterized by chronic symptoms and impaired physical activity. Anxiety and depression usually complicate chronic illness. Thus, underdiagnosis of psychological distress in bronchiectasis may lead to increased morbidity and mortality.

Aims:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of physical illness on psychological distress and its association with health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Subjects and Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study of adults with bronchiectasis. Patients completed a study questionnaire, the hospital anxiety and depression scale and the World Health Organization quality of life brief (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. Physical examination was conducted on all participants.

Results:
103 patients were recruited for this study: 54 males (52.4%) and 49 females (47.6%). The average age of the patients was 49.12 ± 14.37 years. The most common predisposing factor for bronchiectasis amongst the patients was previous pulmonary tuberculosis (51 patients, 49.5%). Chronic productive cough, which was reported by 98 of the subjects (95.15%), was the most common symptom. 89 subjects (86.41%) reported episodes of shortness of breath, 82 (79.61%) reported at least one episode of exacerbation, while 52 subjects (50.49%) were hospitalized for bronchiectasis in the previous 12 months. 23 subjects (22.3%) had anxiety and 32 (31.1%) had depression. Anxiety and depression were significantly associated with indicators of severe disease. The subjects recorded low HRQOL scores across all domains. Psychological distress displayed a significant negative association with all the quality-of-life domains except between anxiety and social interaction.

Conclusion:
Symptoms of depression and anxiety are common among patients with bronchiectasis and these symptoms have a negative impact on HRQOL.
Comparison of oxidative stress status and quality of life in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus according to treatment modality
Authors: Kuet O , Kilit TP , Kocak E 
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
Oxidative stress triggered by hyperglycemia in diabetic patients leads to macrovascular and microvascular complications, resulting in deterioration in the quality of life.

Aims:
This study aimed to compare the oxidative stress status and quality of life in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus according to treatment modality.

Patients and Methods:
Ninety type 2 diabetes mellitus participants aged between 40 and 60 years were included in the study. Forty-five participants were receiving oral antidiabetic drugs and 45 participants were receiving insulin therapy. Total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, and paraoxonase-1 were measured and oxidative stress indices were calculated. The SF-36 quality of life questionnaire was applied to the participants.

Results:
The total oxidant status and oxidative stress indices values were higher in the insulin-treated group than in the group treated with oral antidiabetic drugs. Paraoxonase-1 activities of the oral antidiabetic drugs-treated group were statistically significantly higher than the insulin-treated group. In the oral antidiabetic drugs-treated group, the physical function, social function, and pain subscale scores were higher than that of the insulin-treated group. In all participants, a negative correlation between total antioxidant status and fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c, a positive correlation between total oxidant status and hemoglobin A1c and triglyceride, and a positive correlation was found between oxidative stress indices and fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c.

Conclusions:
It was found that oxidative stress parameters were higher and quality of life was worse in the insulin-treated participants than participants treated with oral antidiabetic drugs. These results may be closely related to more severe chronic complications in insulin-dependent diabetes.

Published: February 2022

O Granito São João (GSJ) é um batólito anorogênico de formato circular, com aproximadamente 160 km² de área, que secciona unidades arqueanas pertencentes ao Terreno Granito-Greenstone de Rio Maria, sudeste do Cráton Amazônico. É constituído dominantemente por quatro fácies petrográficas distintas: biotita-anfibólio-monzogranito, biotita-anfibólio-sienogranito, anfibólio-biotita-monzogranito a sienogranito e biotita-monzogranito a sienogranito. O GSJ possui natureza metaluminosa a fracamente peraluminosa, razões FeOt/(FeOt + MgO) entre 0,94 e 0,99 e K2O/Na2O entre 1 e 2, mostrando afinidades geoquímicas com granitos intraplaca do tipo A, subtipo A2, e granitos ferrosos, sugerindo uma fonte crustal para sua origem. O GSJ possui conteúdos de elementos terras raras leves (ETRL) mais elevados que os elementos terras raras pesados (ETRP) e um padrão sub-horizontalizado para esses últimos, além de anomalias negativas de Eu crescentes no sentido das rochas menos evoluídas para as mais evoluídas. Os dados de suscetibilidade magnética distinguem seis populações com diferentes características magnéticas, onde os valores mais elevados relacionam-se às fácies menos evoluídas e os mais baixos às mais evoluídas. O estudo comparativo entre o GSJ e as suítes graníticas da Província Carajás mostra que ele apresenta maiores semelhanças geológicas, petrográficas, geoquímicas e de suscetibilidade magnética com os granitos que formam a Suíte Serra dos Carajás, podendo ser enquadrado na mesma.
Salgado Paraense: an inventory of a forgotten coastal Amazonian avifauna
Authors: Lees Alexander Charles , Thompson Ian , Moura Nárgila Gomes de 
Published: February 2022

We report on the poorly-known, coastal avifauna of the Salgado Paraense (in the state of Pará, Brazil) east of the delta of the Amazonas river, combining data from recent surveys with an analysis of historical records. Three-hundred and twenty three species were recorded in the habitats inventoried: estuarine, beach and mangrove habitats, restinga, seasonally-flooded grasslands and secondary forest. Particularly noteworthy records included: the discovery of a disjunct population of Laterallus jamaicensis; a previously unrecorded staging ground for Stercorarius spp.; the second documented Brazilian record of Calidris pugnax; the first documented records in Pará for a number of marine species, including the regionally-threatened Sterna dougallii, and the rediscovery of ‘Picumnus pallidus’, a taxon of uncertain validity, all documented by archived digital vouchers. Coastal habitats represent an important contribution to local avian species-richness in Amazonia and they are theoretically better-protected by existing conservation units than neighboring terra firme habitats, yet this region’s biodiversity remains threatened by habitat loss, hunting, and major infrastructure improvements.

Published: February 2022

Bertholletia excelsa é uma espécie com ampla distribuição na Amazônia, testada e recomendada na recuperação de áreas degradadas pela atividade minerária. Em 1984, em uma área de restauração florestal da Floresta Nacional de Saracá-Taquera, implantou-se um reflorestamento em 19,4 ha, com mudas de castanheira e outras 66 espécies. Foi monitorado o crescimento em diâmetro de 416 castanheiras em um período de dez anos. Os diâmetros médios encontrados foram de 19,2 ± 10,0 cm, 21,1 ± 10,7 cm, 23,2 ± 11,4 cm, 24,9 ± 11,9 cm e 28,2 ± 12,7 cm, respectivamente aos 20, 22, 24, 26 e 30 anos de idade. Os incrementos do crescimento foram significativos em todos os períodos analisados. A altura média aos 20 anos foi de 15,6 ± 4,8 m (0,78 m ano-1). O incremento médio anual do diâmetro à altura do peito (DAP) foi praticamente constante em todos os períodos monitorados (0,96 cm ano-1). Foi proposto um modelo de tendência de crescimento do diâmetro em função do tempo (R² = 0,99). Aos 30 anos de idade, foram selecionadas 18 árvores, que deveriam servir como porta-sementes para produção de mudas e plantio nas áreas anuais de restauração florestal, em função de apresentarem incremento do DAP superior a 2 cm ano-1.

Published: February 2022

Pachira aquatica is a Neotropical tree of economic importance for local communities, although little is known about its flower biology especially flower rewards. This study aimed to analyze some aspects of flower biology of this species, focusing on nectar production dynamics We measured nectar production and analyzed the effect of nectar removal and cross-pollination on sugar production and standing crop (the amount of nectar present in a flower exposed to pollination at a given moment). We found that P. aquatica has large, brush-type, perfect flowers, with white colored petals, red stamens and a strong floral scent. Flowers are protandrous and dichogamous. Pollen viability is about 96%. Anthesis is nocturnal and asynchronous. The nectar is relatively abundant (99.8 ± 118.5 μL) and diluted (15.2 ± 4.7% p/p) and its production increases in the morning period. Neither nectar removal nor cross-pollination affected sugar production. Standing crop was not significantly different from the control, indicating that there is probably a low visitation rate. Both flower and nectar production characteristics indicate that this species has the potential to be visited by different flower visitors, especially bats, birds and bees.

Authors: Junqueira Camila Nonato , Muir Jennifer , Pindar Alana 
Published: February 2022

The genus Montrichardia is widely distributed across the Brazilian Amazon, however very little is known about its floral biology and floral visitors. This study, carried out over four days in September 2011 in the Caxiuanã National Forest aimed to investigate aspects of floral biology such as inflorescence growth, reproductive function, fruit size and principal visitors of Montrichardia arborescens in eastern Amazonia. It was estimated that the inflorescences monitored over the four day period were open for between 48-72 hours. Open inflorescences emitted more heat during morning visits compared to evening visits. Floral visitor numbers were dramatically lower than those reported in other studies. Out of the 75 individuals of Montrichardia arborescens observed, only seven received visitors. Results also showed no significant difference in pollen viability across measured spadix sections. Lastly, the number of carpels per fruit showed no significant effect on fruit size and shape.

Published: February 2022

Objective: To scrutinise the research proposals of medical residents for inadequacies in writing dissertation synopsis.
Method: The analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at the regional centre of the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised synopsis from January to June 2020 of postgraduate residents attached with different hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. For evaluation purposes, an institutional checklist was used that had 4 domains: general, epidemiological, statistical, and bibliographical review. These were assessed by a single epidemiologist. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Results: Of the 400 research proposals, 224(56%) were submitted by male and 176(44%) by female residents. Also, 208(52%) proposals were submitted by residents at public-sector hospitals, and 114(28.5%) by those at private-sector hospitals, while 78(19.5%) were from military hospitals. Significant association of errors was found with training institutions, speciality and duration of training (p<0.05). No gender difference was seen (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Majority of the research proposals lacked correct understanding of all the concepts related to research. Difference in research writing skills across specialties and training institutions may be related to the lack of availability of research assistance and good mentorship.
