The Relationship of Hematological Parameters with Metabolic Syndrome in Type 1 and Type 2 Psoriasis
Authors: DAYE Munise , TEMİZ Selami Aykut 
Published: April 2022

Objective: Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory disease with a rate of 2% in the population, with periods of remission and exacerbation. Psoriasis has been accepted as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and is known to be closely related to metabolic syndrome. It is known that the mean platelet volume (MPV), the platelet distribution width (PDW), the red blood cell distribution width (RDW) levels are parameters predicting systemic inflammation. Studies have found that some of these parameters can be used to predict metabolic syndrome in patients with psoriasis. In the literature, there is no study showing the relationship between the frequency of metabolic syndrome (MS) and hematological parameters by evaluating type 1 and type 2 psoriasis separately.
Materials and Methods: A total of 186 participants were included in the study, 93 patients over 18 years of age with psoriasis diagnosed and 93 age and gender equivalent control groups, who applied to the dermatology clinic.
Results: While PDW was significantly different between psoriasis and control group, RDW was significantly different in the type 2 psoriasis group compared to the type 1 psoriasis group. Although MPV, RDW, and PDW were higher in the MS groups for both type 1 and type 2 psoriasis groups, and they did not create a statistically significant difference in any of them.
Conclusions: This study showed that the frequency of MS and related parameters were different between patients with type 1 and type 2 psoriasis, and we found that type 2 psoriasis was more associated with MS. In addition, we think that among the inflammatory parameters, especially RDW, may be an important marker for type 2 and type 1 psoriasis and comorbidities.

Authors: Hutchison Catherine E. , Reminick Jason I. , Love Ephy R. , Karan Suzanne , Gundle Kenneth R. 
Published: April 2022

Introduction:
The 2020 to 2021 application cycle was marked by structural changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Adaptations included the American Orthopaedic Association Council of Residency Program Directors recommendations for a universal interview offer day (UIOD), synchronizing applicant interview offer release. As a novel process within orthopaedics, there are limited data on the execution and effect of a UIOD. Study goals include determining (1) residency program adherence to the Council of Residency Program Directors UIOD guidelines during the 2020 to 2021 cycle, (2) how quickly programs filled available interviews, and (3) any difference in time from release to booking between applicants using edu and com e-mail domains.

Methods:
Orthopaedic residency programs and applicants using the Thalamus interview management software platform during the 2020 to 2021 residency application cycle were analyzed, representing 46 residency programs and 993 interviewees (22% and 77% of the national total, respectively).

Results:
Of the programs included in this study, 19 (41%) were strictly adherent to the UIOD and time, 14 (30%) were weakly adherent and sent out offers outside of the assigned time, and 13 (28%) were nonadherent and sent out offers on dates other than the UIOD. The average time to fill to 80% capacity was 26 ± 14 minutes (range 3 to 77 minutes) for the 33 programs that released on the UIOD. Applicants with edu e-mail domains scheduled their first interview an average of 1.8 minutes after those with com e-mail domains (14.8 versus 13.0 minutes, P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Despite more than 60% of the residency programs committing to participate, less than half of the programs that initially agreed to participate were strictly adherent to guidelines during the first UIOD in orthopaedic surgery. Although additional research is needed to analyze the unique, fully virtual 2020 to 2021 recruitment season, a phased or waved approach to the UIOD may improve the process for all stakeholders in future cycles.

Looking under the Hood for Evidence of Normalization
Authors: Lee Changsoo 
Published: April 2022

The study investigated the hypothesis of normalization and stylistic variation across translators as manifested in the use of lexical bundles between translated and non-translated English literary texts. Normalization is a hypothesis originally proposed as ‘conservatism’ by Baker (1996) which states that the translator tends to conform to linguistic patterns and conventions typical of the target language even to the point of exaggeration, and lexical bundles are sequences of three or four words recurring with high frequency in natural discourse. The study was carried out in two stages. The first stage replicated previous studies that relied on simple frequency tests to confirm the normalization hypothesis. Contrary to these earlier studies, the present study’s frequency tests on lexical bundles failed to provide clear support for the normalization hypothesis. The second stage employed two types of multivariate exploratory analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), to examine the underlying relationships among individual texts, lexical bundles, and translated and non-translated group categories. Following the failed frequency tests, it was hypothesized here that normalization might be still present in the translated corpus but restricted by types of lexical bundles. PCA confirmed this hypothesis by revealing that normalization occurred in the use of a particular functional type of lexical bundles, called discourse bundles, which are relatively free from the thematic content of the text in which they occur. This ascertains the traditional idea that statistical tests of translation hypotheses must deal with linguistic features unrelated to the thematic content of the corpus. Additionally, PCA revealed variation across the types of lexical bundles preferred by individual translators. HCA further identified the presence of a subgroup of translated texts that cluster with non-translated texts, rather than with their fellow translated texts. This was taken as indicating that the use of lexical bundles varied among the translators and that the division between translated and non-translated texts is not clear-cut.
Treatment of Hypoglycemia
Authors: Simsek Yasin , Urhan Emre 
Published: April 2022

Hypoglycemia is an important condition that can be seen in everyone, more often in those with diabetes mellitus, and can sometimes be life-threatening. Hypoglycemia is a condition that can be prevented with simple precautions. It is a simple procedure that can be done mostly by ordinary people when the treatment is known. The most important step in the treatment is the education of those at risk of hypoglycemia and their relatives. The first step in treatment is to measure blood glucose, if possible. If blood sugar is below 70 mg/dl, hypoglycemia is diagnosed; if it is below 50 mg/dl, it is called severe hypoglycemia. The first approach in a conscious patient is to give the patient 15 mg of carbohydrate and measure the blood glucose again after 15 minutes. If the measured value is <70 mg/dl, the procedure should be repeated. If possible, glucagon should be administered to unconscious, out-of-hospital hypoglycemic patients until emergency help arrives. If glucagon is not available, glucose gel can be applied to the buccal mucosa. 50 ml of 50% glucose IV is administered to an unconscious hypoglycemic patient in the hospital. If the blood sugar does not rise above 70 mg/dl, the procedure is repeated.
Hermaphroditism in Fragaria moschata, a Cultivated Strawberry Species Preceding the Evolution and Growing of F. ×ananassa in Europe
Authors: Ahokas Hannu 
Published: April 2022

Two cases of hermaphroditism in Fragaria moschata Weston, (2n = 42), are described from Finland. One of them is a mutation in a clone known as a female since 1941 but appearing as a somatic segregant in 2013. The clone also carries a recessive gene for yellow-green leaf variegation. The mutations probably date back to the airborne radioactive fallout from the fire of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union in 1986. By interspecific crosses with the diploid (2n = 14) strawberry species, F. ×bifera Duch., Fragaria vesca L., and Fragaria. viridis Weston, the genetic determination of sex in F. moschata was studied and shown to depend on different genetic mechanisms in the two hermaphroditic musk strawberries. Selected tetraploid hybrids from crosses between musk and diploid strawberry species provide a wide variation of berry flavor and may have used as home garden strawberries. Two spontaneous hybrids between F. moschata and F. vesca are shown.

Published: April 2022

In recent decades, food research has focused on hybrid systems, that is, the application of nanomaterials and the so-called emerging technologies, whose objective is to increase the quality of food. Among these technologies that are different from thermal is high intensity ultrasound. This chapter presents and describes the interaction of acoustic waves supported by classical physics and nanomaterials generated by nanotechnology carried out in contemporary physics, all integrated as a multidisciplinary knowledge applied to food. Acoustic waves have a spectrum called ultrasound, with an approximate frequency range between 20 kHz and 1 GHz, and this is divided into low-intensity ultrasound (LIU), whose objective is to characterize materials. On the contrary, high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) has the objective of carrying out destructive tests, modifying the study samples. This happens because the HIU generates a phenomenon called acoustic cavitation, which consists of the generation, growth, and implosion of microbubbles, causing alterations in the near and far acoustic field. The proposed review focuses on the application of high-intensity ultrasound to be used in the food industry. Subsequently, a brief approach is made to nanotechnology and nanomaterials and how they have been incorporated into the food industry.
Breastfeeding during COVID Pandemic

Published: April 2022

As new mothers are understandably concerned about COVID-19 and its high rate of infection, they are often unsure if they should breastfeed their infants. In general, hospitals do not allow direct breastfeeding by mothers with an active infection of SARS-CoV-2. Some neonatal units in Hong Kong maintain safe practices by isolating infants and mothers for at least 7 to 14 days, even if the infant remains SARS-CoV-2 negative. During isolation, mothers encourage the expression of milk to maintain milk duct patency and to prepare for lactation when they and their infants are discharged. Infants are fed formula milk by cup feeding with added supplements based on the recommended daily feeding volume for neonates and their appetite during hospitalization. At present, data that indicates COVID-19 could be transmitted from mother to infant postnatally through breastfeeding are insufficient. Major organizations recommend that mothers should breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months, and thereafter continue to provide their infants with breast milk up until the age of two or beyond. With new findings arising from research, updated information is important to reassure mothers that breastfeeding at home during the COVID-19 pandemic is safe and recommended for both the mother and the infant.
Obstetric and Newborn Weak D-Phenotype RBC Testing and Rh Immune Globulin Management Recommendations: Lessons From a Blinded Specimen-Testing Survey of 81 Transfusion Services

Published: April 2022

Context.—
Modern RHD genotyping can be used to determine when patients with serologic weak D phenotypes have RHD gene variants at risk for anti-D alloimmunization. However, serologic testing, RhD interpretations, and laboratory management of these patients are quite variable.

Objective.—
To obtain interlaboratory comparisons of serologic testing, RhD interpretations, Rh immune globulin (RhIG) management, fetomaternal hemorrhage testing, and RHD genotyping for weak D-reactive specimens.

Design.—
We devised an educational exercise in which 81 transfusion services supporting obstetrics performed tube-method RhD typing on 2 unknown red blood cell challenge specimens identified as (1) maternal and (2) newborn. Both specimens were from the same weak D-reactive donor. The exercise revealed how participants responded to these different clinical situations.

Results.—
Of reporting laboratories, 14% (11 of 80) obtained discrepant immediate-spin reactions on the 2 specimens. Nine different reporting terms were used to interpret weak D-reactive maternal RhD types to obstetricians. In laboratories obtaining negative maternal immediate-spin reactions, 28% (16 of 57) performed unwarranted antiglobulin testing, sometimes leading to recommendations against giving RhIG. To screen for excess fetomaternal hemorrhage after a weak D-reactive newborn, 47% (34 of 73) of reporting laboratories would have employed a contraindicated fetal rosette test, risking false-negative results and inadequate RhIG coverage. Sixty percent (44 of 73) of laboratories would obtain RHD genotyping in some or all cases.

Conclusions.—
For obstetric and neonatal patients with serologic weak D phenotypes, we found several critical problems in transfusion service laboratory practices. We provide recommendations for appropriate testing, consistent immunohematologic terminology, and RHD genotype–guided management of Rh immune globulin therapy and RBC transfusions.
Reducing Laboratory Turnaround Time in Patients With Acute Stroke and the Lack of Impact on Time to Reperfusion Therapy
Authors: Trongnit Sasipong , Reesukumal Kanit , Kost Gerald J. , Nilanont Yongchai , Pratumvinit Busadee 
Published: April 2022

Context.—
Timely reperfusion improves the recovery of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Laboratory results are crucial to guide treatment decisions in patients when abnormal laboratory tests are suspected.

Objective.—
To implement a new laboratory workflow for acute stroke patients and compare laboratory turnaround time (TAT) preimplementation and postimplementation.

Design.—
We conducted a retrospective pre-post intervention study of patients with suspected acute stroke during the 4-month periods before and after the implementation of a new laboratory workflow process. The improvement process included relocating the specimen registration site, laboratory notification before specimen arrival, a color-coding system on tubes, timing at all processes, and eliminating the smear review if platelets were normal. TATs of the laboratory and door-to–clinical intervention times before and after the improvement process were compared.

Results.—
Postintervention, median specimen transportation time decreased from 11 (interquartile range [IQR], 8.4–16.4) to 9 minutes (IQR, 6.3–12.8), P &lt; .001. The intralaboratory and total TATs of complete blood cell count, coagulation tests, and creatinine significantly decreased (P &lt; .001 for all). Blood drawn–to–laboratory reported time decreased from 43 (IQR, 36.0–51.5) to 33 minutes (IQR, 29.2–35.8, P &lt; .001). However, door-to-needle time for thrombolysis and door-to-puncture time and door-to-recanalization time for mechanical thrombectomy were not statistically different (P = .11, .69, and .50, respectively).

Conclusions.—
The new laboratory workflow significantly decreased transportation time, TAT of individual tests, and the blood drawn–to–laboratory reported time. However, the time to treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients was not different between preimplementation and postimplementation.
Literature and Ageing
Authors: Gilleard Chris , Barry Elizabeth , Skagen Margery Vibe 
Published: April 2022

In the category “Review Response,” Age, Culture, Humanities features diverse, sometimes conflicting, views within age studies and assessments of the research carried out in the field. This article takes Elizabeth Barry’s and Margery Vibe Skagen’s 2020 anthology Literature and Ageing as a case in point to raise questions about some of the central tenets and approaches in the study of literature and aging. Most importantly, as the title suggests, the edited collection promises a clearer understanding of the relation between literature and ageing.
In the first section, Chris Gilleard offers his thoughts on the anthology and its essays. He raises a number of critical questions that, so we (in our capacity as co- editors of Age, Culture, Humanities) felt, address issues that are not only relevant to the anthology but are of larger importance to the field of age studies: What can literary studies – with its different methods and theories – add to the study of age and aging?
In order to enable a generative conversation about these questions, we invited the editors Barry and Skagen to write a response to Gilleard’s critique. It constitutes the second section of this article and, rather than defend their work, Barry and Skagen clarify what is, in their view, the role of literature in age studies.

Published: April 2022

Background: Fluid management is a complicated subject and one of the most difficult facets of medical care. Fluid balance has been shown to improve respiratory physiology for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. The aim of this study was to assess the role of electrical cardiometry (EC) in fluid management in ARDS.
Methods: This pilot interventional study was carried on 15 patients who were 18 years or older and fulfill the Berlin definition of ARDS. Fluid management was guided by EC.
Results: ICU stay has a mean value of 13.67 ± 4.58 days and duration of MV has with a mean value of 10.27 ± 4.34 days. Lung injury score decreased significantly at 7, 14, 21, 28 days when compared to baseline. Intravenous fluid intake had significantly decreased in 4,5,6,7 days when compared to the 1st day. Urine output has significantly decreased in 5,6,7 days when compared to the 1st day. Hemodynamic instability was in 20% of patients, heart failure in 13.3% of patients, sepsis in 20.0% of patients and organ failure in 26.7% with no renal failure and no arrythmia.
Conclusions: EC was effective in the fluid management in ARDS as regards decreasing 28th day mortality, LIS, fluid intake, duration of MV and ICU stay.

Published: April 2022

Background: The presence of conduction defects complicates AMI frequently and is associated with increased short and long term mortality rates. The occurrence of complete heart block in anterior wall myocardial infarction is important because it indicates that infarction is extensive and may result in cardiac failure or death.
Objective: To determine the frequency of complete heart block (CHB) in patients presented with anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI).
Material and Methods: Total 152 patients with AWMI were included. The history of the patients was taken regarding hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, family history of CAD, and chronic kidney disease. Study outcome, complete heart block, was assessed and recorded.
Results: There were 81.6% male and 18.4% female patients. Mean age was 56.25±9.81 years. Total 9.2% patients were found with chronic kidney disease. In our study, 12.5% patients were found with complete heart block. Significant association of complete heart block was observed with hypertension and diabetes mellitus while no significant association was observed with gender, age, smoking, CAD family history, and chronic kidney disease.
Conclusion: Our study results showed 12.5% patients observed complete heart block. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are found as the significant risk factors of complete heart block.
