Authors: Grey Jan-Petrus , Burger Marilize , Marais Leonard Charles , Ferreira Nando 
Published: August 2022

Introduction:
Dead space management following intramedullary debridement and reaming can be challenging and several alternatives have been described. The main objective of this study was to investigate the clinical outcome and resolution rate in patients treated for fracture-related Cierny and Mader anatomical type 1 intramedullary chronic osteomyelitis by means of continuous irrigation (modified Lautenbach system) as dead space management following intramedullary reaming.

Materials and Methods:
A consecutive series of thirty patients with Cierny and Mader type 1 chronic osteomyelitis, treated between May 2016 and September 2019, were evaluated retrospectively. Patient history and clinical information, including imaging and laboratory results, were reviewed. Treatment procedures and antibiotic profiles were also recorded.

Results:
The initial cohort included 30 cases with 18 tibias, 11 femurs, and one humerus. Seven patients were excluded; three patients did not return for follow-up and four patients had <6 months of follow-up. Of the remaining 23 patients, 91% (21/23) achieved resolution of infection over a median follow-up period of 16 months (interquartile range [IQR] 7–21 months). Infecting organisms where isolated in 65% (15/23). The median duration of hospital stay was 6 days (IQR 4–7 days). Postoperative complications were noted in two cases and involved a tibial and femoral refracture, respectively. Both patients however achieved union without recurrence of infection following surgical intervention.

Conclusion:
Continuous irrigation is a cost-effective single-stage surgical option for dead space management during the treatment of intramedullary chronic osteomyelitis. It provides the advantage of instilling high dose intramedullary antibiotics and negates the need for a second surgical procedure while achieving similar outcomes than other dead space management techniques.

Published: August 2022

Introduction:
Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a serious complication seen with mechanical prosthetic cardiac valves and is associated with high mortality. Emergency surgery (thrombectomy or valve replacement) had been the traditional treatment, but now with intravenous thrombolytic therapy as an alternative to emergency surgery in patients with PVT has shown excellent success rate and acceptable risk. This study is aimed to determine efficacy and safety of use of thrombolytic agents (tPA or STK) in patients with PVT.

Materials and Methods:
This was a retrospective, single-center study of patients with PVT admitted between 2004 and 2020 at a tertiary care center in North India. The diagnosis of PVT was based on a history of prosthetic heart valve replacement, clinical presentation, and by diagnostic methods. All patients received either tenecteplase or streptokinase given as a bolus dose of 2.5 lac units over ½ h, followed by 1 lac units/h for 24–48 h depending on clinical response and complication, whereas tenecteplase (1 mg/kg of body weight) was given as bolus.

Results:
Of 72 patients, 45 patients received t-PA as a thrombolytic drug. Complete success was obtained in 39 patients (86.66%), whereas partial success in 3 (17.77%) and failure in 3 (6.66%). Among the patients who received streptokinase (n = 27), complete success was found in 23 patients (85.19%), whereas partial success was seen in 3 (11.11%) and failure was seen in 1 patient (3.7%).

Conclusion:
Thrombolysis is a reasonable option in patients with PVT. Our study has reiterated that major factors for PVT are warfarin poor compliance and subtherapeutic international normalized ratio. Postclosure clinical follow-up along with patient education should be followed in patients with mechanical prosthetic valve.

Eighty-five (92%) admitted that images on PACS have diagnostic information and 73 (79%) were satisfied with the quality of images on PACS. Challenges faced by the PACS user include epileptic power supply, unavailability of PACS computers at all service points, slow network, improper patient identification, and sometime poor image quality.

Conclusion:
This study shows that majority of the respondents had good knowledge of PACS and it was highly effective.
The evolution of a study and research path in Statistics
Authors: Markulin Kristina , Bosch Marianna , Florensa Ignasi , Montañola Cristina 
Published: August 2022

We present the organisation of a first course in statistics for Business Administration degree students, which includes a study and research path (SRP) as an inquiry-based teaching proposal. The paper aims to summarise the course’s evolution, design, and reflections on its various components separately and together as a complete unit. The analysis considers three perspectives on the course: those of the students, the lecturer, and the researcher to provide a critical perspective. The discussion includes the joint evolution of the course and the SRP. Under the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic framework, we show that the design and management of the SRP cannot be detached from the course as a whole. We also see how the course components nourish the SRP and how this, in turn, drives the evolution of the course content and adapts it to the students’ professional needs. This inquiry proposal requires a multidimensional approach in both its planning and the dissemination of its outcomes in the research and professional literature. Therefore, our study can contribute to didactics research on SRPs and serve as a starting point for newcomers to inquiry-based teaching, and as a reflection to foster collaborations between researchers in didactics and lecturers.
Nous présentons l'organisation d'un premier cours de statistique destiné aux étudiants en gestion d’entreprise, qui comprend un parcours d'étude et de recherche (PER) en tant que proposition d'enseignement basé sur l'enquête. L'article vise à résumer l'évolution du cours, sa conception et les réflexions sur ses différentes composantes, séparément et dans leur ensemble, comme une unité complète. L'analyse prend en compte les différents points de vue sur le cours, celui de l'étudiant, celui de l'enseignant et celui du chercheur, offrant ainsi une perspective critique. Elle inclut également l'évolution conjointe du cours et du PER. Dans le cadre de la théorie anthropologique de la didactique, nous montrons que la conception et la gestion du PER ne peuvent être détachées du cours dans lequel il s’inscrit. Nous montrons comment les composantes du cours nourrissent le PER et comment celle-ci, en retour, fait évoluer le contenu du cours en l'adaptant aux besoins professionnels de l'étudiant. La proposition d'enquête nécessite une approche multidimensionnelle, tant dans sa planification que dans la diffusion de ses résultats dans la recherche et la littérature professionnelle. Par conséquent, notre étude peut contribuer à la recherche en didactique sur les PER, servir de point de départ pour les nouveaux venus à l'enseignement basé sur l'enquête et de point de réflexion pour favoriser les modes de collaboration entre chercheurs en didactique et enseignants universitaires.

Published: August 2022

Embora o estágio na formação de professores venha sendo objeto de muitas pesquisas, não se percebem resultados significativos desses estudos na dinâmica de seu desenvolvimento nas universidades. Nesse sentido pode-se afirmar que o estágio curricular clama por novos sentidos, o que tem instigado os pesquisadores a novas buscas. No contexto dessa problemática, emergiu a questão orientadora dessa pesquisa: O que os relatórios de estágio dos alunos do curso de Pedagogia revelam sobre o Estágio Supervisionado na formação do professor para atuar no ensino básico? Em consonância com os objetivos propostos, optamos por uma abordagem qualitativa de investigação, realizando pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa documental, selecionando 10 relatórios de estágio supervisionado do curso de Pedagogia. A partir da leitura dos relatórios foram definidas 3 categorias de análise: 1) estágio como pesquisa 2) O estágio na perspectiva reflexiva 3) estágio relação teoria e prática. Nos relatórios analisados, constatamos que o estágio supervisionado traz de forma recorrente a reflexão como fio condutor, e são considerados como um espaço de pesquisa, visando favorecer maior conhecimento da realidade do profissional docente, a partir da problematização, teorização, reflexão, intervenção e redimensionamento da ação. Apontam também a dificuldade de se romper com a dicotomia entre teoria e prática na formação do professor. Apesar desta dificuldade, percebe-se grande empenho na busca de soluções que permitam transpor os entraves que se colocam.

Published: August 2022

Asbestos, one among the inosilicate group of minerals is listed under the Sikatha varga (Silicate compounds) in the Rasasastra treatises, in the name, Kousheyashma. Though the asbestos is vastly used for commercial purposes, it is not found to be used in clinical practices owing to its toxicity. But in Ayurveda, Acharyas have opined that by the judicious usage, even the poison can be bestowed medicinal value. And hence, after undergoing appropriate pharmaceutical processes as mentioned in the treatises, Kousheyashma can be effectively administered in Bhasma (after incineration) form in the treatment of various ailments like leucorrhoea, painful micturition, inflammation of urinary tract, menorrhagia.
In this work, an attempt is made to expose the hidden medicinal values of asbestos by converting it into Bhasma form. Kousheyashma is a very cost effective and potent medicine which could be effectively used by Ayurvedic practitioners. In the present work, conversion of raw Kousheyashma into medicinal Bhasma form is discussed elaborately. The processes involved includes Sodhana and Marana of Kousheyashma. The liquid media used for the purpose of Sodhana was Gomutra and for Marana purpose, Harithamanjari swarasa was used. Three Putas were required to obtain Kousheyashma bhasma which satisfied the Bhasma pareekshas.
