Lexical Errors

The aim of the article is to provide a qualitative description of the errors committed by pupils with mild intellectual disabilities. The discussed issue has not yet been the subject of a scientific description from a linguistic point of view. The analysis of errors was based on Andrzej Markowski's classification with small additions from Zygmunt Saloni’s classification. Due to the volumetric framework, the article is limited to discussing grammatical and lexical errors. The research showed that pupils with mild intellectual disabilities make similar errors as those with typical development. No qualitative differences were noted between the study group and the control group, only quantitative ones.

(1) Background: The study aims to identify which imaging parameters are necessary for a new correct surgical approach in the study of choanal atresia, and which anatomical findings are essential for correct planning of endoscopic treatment in choanal atresia. (2) Methods: In this retrospective study, 19 patients with choanal atresia had high-resolution multiplanar imaging (14 cases aged ≤1 year and 5 cases aged 1 to 3 years) and 35 patients in the control group similarly distributed by age. Fourteen variables, the most relevant from a surgical point of view, were selected and measured. A comparison was made between the averages of the study group and the different control groups, either directly observed or selected from the literature, using Pearson’s correlation. (3) Results: In 14 out of 26 cases, the differences were statistically significant. There was a correlation between the structures assessed, such as choanal height, rostrum height, and age. (4) Conclusions: Thanks to volumetric reformatting, this work identified and provided the clinician with useful information that helped choose the correct surgical approach. Furthermore, it focused on which imaging parameters are necessary to improve the planning of the surgical correction of choanal atresia.

The objective of this survey was to investigate the incidence of respiratory symptoms reported by emergency department patients during the Christmas 2001–2002 Sydney bushfire disaster. Two hundred and thirty patients attending two Sydney emergency departments for any reason completed questionnaires regarding respiratory symptoms. The symptoms investigated were cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness and wheeze. The same questionnaire was subsequently administered to a similar control group who were not exposed to bushfire smoke. 51% of those surveyed during the bushfires reported one or more of the respiratory symptoms investigated compared to 31% of the control group. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.01). A significantly higher proportion of respiratory patients in the study group reported an exacerbation of their condition and increased medication use during the bushfires (p < 0.01). The results are consistent with other research on the subject and suggest that exposure to bushfire smoke causes an increased incidence of respiratory pathology.

Aims & Objectives: To study the effect of epidural analgesia (EA) in labour on the rate of instrumental deliveries Study Design: Clinical Trial / Case Control study. Study Settings: Labour ward of Jinnah Hospital, Lahore during one year period from July 2002 to June 2003. Patients and Methods: One hundred women in labor at term were divided into two equal groups. Group-I comprised of those women who were provided with epidural analgesia while group-II consisted of those women who had labour without the block. The anesthetist provided epidural analgesia using 0.125% bupivacaine and the obstetrician or midwife gave intermittent top-ups. Main Outcome Measures: The main outcome measures were the effect of epidural analgesia on the duration of second stage of labor and the rate of instrumental deliveries. The data was collected on a pre-designed proforma and was analyzed on computer software (SPSS). Ratio and proportions were calculated and Chi-square test was used to check significant association between the groups. P<.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Gestational age, gravidity, duration of first stage of labour, and fetal outcome were comparable between the two groups. There was prolongation of second stage of labour (P < 0.05). 30% of the parturient in the group with epidural analgesia had second stage of <1 hour while there were 84 % of women in the control group who had second stage of <1 hour. 66% of the women in group I (EA) had duration of second stage of 1-2hours while in group-II 16% of women delivered in the same period. 4% of the women in the study group had second stage of >2hours while there was none (0.0%) who took >2hours in the control group. There was an increased rate of instrumental deliveries in patients with epidural analgesia (P<0.05). 40% of women had instrumental deliveries in the study group as compared to 10 % in the control group. Patient satisfaction was excellent among parturient given EA, 94 % of the parturient being very satisfied. Conclusion: Epidural analgesia along with an experienced anesthetist, a dedicated obstetrician and a trained midwife can convert the painful labour into a less stressful event. Although it prolongs the second stage of labour and increases the rate of instrumental deliveries yet its advantages of pain free labour, better psychological outcome and no significant complications outweigh these drawbacks.

Abstract Background For healthy women entering birth after uneventful pregnancy, midwife-led models of care have the potential to reduce interventions and increase the vaginal birth rate without compromising the maternal or health of the neonate. In Germany, 98.4% of women are giving birth in consultant-led obstetric units. Alongside midwifery units (AMU) have been established in 2003. We compared the outcome of all births in the AMU at our hospital from 2010 to 2017 with a matched group of low-risk women who gave birth during the same period of time in standard obstetric care. Methods We used a retrospective cohort study design. The study group consists of all women admitted to labor ward who had registered for birth in AMU. For the control group, low-risk women were selected; additionally, matching was performed for parity. Mode of birth, postpartum hemorrhage, and obstetric injury was chosen as primary outcome parameter for the mother. For the neonate, a composite primary outcome (5-minute Apgar <7 or umbilical cord arterial pH < 7.20 or transfer to specialist neonatal care) was defined. Secondary outcomes included epidural analgesia, duration of the second stage of labor, and episiotomy rate. Non-inferiority was assessed, and multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. Results 612 women were admitted for labor in AMU, the control group consisted of 612 women giving birth in standard obstetric care. Women in the study group were on average older and had a higher BMI; birthweight was on average 95 g higher. Except for birth injuries, non-inferiority could be established for the primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes occurred less common in the study group, including a shorter duration of the second stage of labor. Overall, 50.3% of women were transferred to standard obstetric care. Regression analysis revealed effects of parity, age and birthweight on the chance of transfer. Conclusion Our investigation confirms comparable maternal and neonatal outcome with less interventions for women giving birth in AMU at our institution. Currently, obstetric services in Germany are almost exclusively provided by consultant-led units. Our results support the integration of AMU as complementary models of care for low-risk women.

Background: To evaluate Patwardhan’s method of delivering shoulders first during second stage cesarean section.Methods: 154 consecutive cases of cesarean section for second stage arrest or obstructed labor over a period of one year (July 2016 to June 2017) were included in the study. 77 cases delivered by Patwardhan’s method comprised of study group and 70 cases delivered by vertex, 7 cases delivered by breech served as control. Fetal and maternal outcomes were compared in these two groups.Results: Obstetric features like parity, maternal height, duration of pregnancy, hemoglobin levels, fetal weight were comparable in both groups. Perinatal outcomes were almost similar in both the groups. Extension of the uterine incision occurred in only 4 cases (5.19%) in the study group compared to 16 cases (20.77%) in control group. Excessive bleeding, uterine artery injury, need for blood transfusion and hysterectomy were also less in the study group.Conclusions: Morbidity due to extension of uterine incision occurs commonly during second stage cesarean section, when hand is forcibly introduced in the pelvis to deliver impacted head, since lower uterine segment is edematous and fragile. Patwardhan’s technique avoids this and hence should be practiced more widely. Its beauty lies in near absence of extension of uterine incision.

Background. Osteopathic methods are used in practical medicine, but there is little scientific research in this area, especially in the treatment of somatic diseases. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathy in the complex therapy of patients with chronic stone-free cholecystitis from the point of view of evidence-based medicine. Methods. The study involved 114 patients who were divided into two groups, the control group and the main group, in which osteopathic procedures were applied. The functions of the gallbladder, bile and blood biochemistry, and cholecystokinin secretion were analyzed. Results. It was found that osteopathic methods significantly increased the effectiveness of standard therapy both in terms of regression of clinical symptoms of the disease and in the functioning of the gallbladder. It is proved that the main group of patients significantly increases the secretion of cholecystokinin, which correlates with an improvement in the biochemistry of bile and its allocation. It was found that the effectiveness of osteopathic treatment methods does not depend on the gender of patients. Conclusion. The results of the study indicate a fairly pronounced therapeutic effect of osteopathic procedures in the complex therapy of patients with chronic stone-free cholecystitis. The increase in the secretion of cholecystokinin is difficult to explain from the point of view of correction of functional blocks, and this problem remains the subject of further research.

Second Degree

Scar strictures that lead to obstruction of the esophagus do not tend to decrease lately, but on the contrary, the number of such patients is increasing, which is caused by the use of a large range of chemicals in human life. The results of treatment of scarring strictures depend on the degree of stenosis. With complete obstruction of the esophagus, the question arises about conducting surgical treatment. Methods of correction of esophageal strictures have a considerable number of postoperative complications and lethal consequences – from 5.0 % to 15.0 %. Therefore, in order to create a unified pathogenetic tactic for the management and treatment of esophageal strictures, we were offered to study the ultrastructural changes of the mucous membrane of the stricture of the second stage during its modeling in the experiment. The purpose of the work is to investigate the dynamics of ultrastructural changes of the mucous membrane of the esophagus wall in the normal and second stage of its stricture. The experimental study was performed on adult white male rats weighing between 250 and 300 g. A total of 16 animals were operated on, which were divided into 2 groups: a control group (6 rats) and a study group (10 rats). The studies were performed under ketamine anesthesia. In animals of the control group performed only laparotomy, followed by layer-by-layer suturing of the anterior abdominal wall. In animals of the study group created a model of obstruction of the esophagus of the second stage. Electron microscopic examination was performed on days 3, 4, and 5 of the experiment, eliminating animals by overdosing on ketamine. As a result of the electron microscopic study of the ultrastructural organization of basal, spinosum, superficial epitheliocytes of stratified squamous epithelium without keratin, smooth muscle myocytes of the muscular plate and contractile elements of the muscular layer of the esophagus of rats with simulated stricture of the second degree revealed dystrophic and destructive disorders that varied in depth and severity. It was established that mitochondrial dysfunction leads to a decrease in the activity of reparative, metabolic and synthetic processes of the cell, which is indirectly manifested by a decrease in ribosomes and polysomes in the cytoplasm, loosening and focal lysis of membranes of the granular endoplasmic reticulum. Stricture of esophagus of the second stage causes activation of catabolic intracellular processes in all cells, which is morphologically confirmed by the appearance in the cytoplasm of secondary lysosomes and inclusions of lipids.

Progress of a nation is determined by quality of education of nation itself. There are several factors that affect the quality of education such as the subject of educators, materials and supporting facilities. One of the basic educational institutions that contribute to the quality of education this country is educational institutions in community starting from Kindergarten school. Kindergarten al-Qur'an and early childhood of the Qur'an. The educational institution of the Qur'an today is growing very rapidly but on the other hand has not been directly proportional to the quality produced. This study discusses of Qur'anic educational problems preparing the Qur'anic generation seen from the point of view of management and implementation  education of the Qur'an in institution. The results of this study indicate that the educational institutions of al-Qur'an are still experience problems in the management such as the responsibility of managers, the managerial capability of the unit head, and the ability to provide supporting facilities, in the implementation of learning, there are many educational institutions that do not match the ratio of the number of teachers with one study group on the other hand, the quality of teachers are still low and the ability of teachers transfer knowledge to students.

Background. The musculoskeletal system is deeply involved in patients with CKD on dialysis. The studies that were done by now with regarding this subject mostly aimed the bone metabolism.So far, there is few data on the subject concerning the articular and abarticular abnormalities in dialysed patients(1). Objectives. To indentify the musculoskeletal soft tissue abnormities associated to dialysis and to evaluate whether or not they are more frequent. Also, we set ourselves to point out the importance of detecting these anomalies early in the evolution, in order to preserve the joint function and the quality of life, in a category of patients already severely affected. Materials and methods. This is a prospective study, ran on a period of 4 months. We included 55 patients ( 32 in the study group – on dialysis, 23 in the control group – late stage pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease). For each patient, we evaluated 68 joints using ultrasonography. Also, a visual analogue scale for pain was applied for each patient. Results. The findings vary from median nerve entrapment and tendon calcifications, to usual degenerative abnormalities, synovitis and tenosynovitis. The type of abnormalities does not vary between the two groups, but the percent of the affected patients was much higher in the study group. Conclusions. A great number of patients from the study group presented important articular and mostly abarticular abnormalities, sometimes with no correlation with the algofunctional symptoms.

Purpose To evaluate the effect of midwifery-led doula companion care in puerpera delivery nursing. Methods 126 primiparas were admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to November 2019 by random sampling method. According to the order of admission of primiparas, they were divided into conventional group (63 cases) and study group (63 cases). The routine group of primiparas were given routine delivery care, while the research group of primiparas were given doula accompanied care by midwives. The time of labor, pregnancy outcome, delivery pain score, delivery control and anxiety score of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results Compared with the conventional group, the time of the first, second and total labor was significantly shorter in the study group (P < 0.05). The amount of postpartum hemorrhage in the study group was significantly less than that in the conventional group (P < 0.05). The rate of perineal incision and perineal laceration in the study group was significantly lower than that in the conventional group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in Apgar score <8 points compared with the control group (P > 0.05). The scores of pain and anxiety in the second stage of labor were significantly lower in the study group than in the conventional group (P < 0.05). The control score of the puerpera in the study group was significantly higher than that in the conventional group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The intervention measures of companion doula led by midwives can effectively shorten the time of labor, reduce the anxiety and pain score and improve the sense of control during labor of primiparas. This nursing method has clinical promotion and application value.
