Mutual Communication

The mutual interaction of teacher and student and observance of ethical principles in their communication are currently actual problem in the teaching process, including university study. In order to map the current situation in the application of ethical principles and pedagogical tact in the teaching, we realised long-term pedagogical survey in acad. years 2009/2010 and 2017/2018 (65/105 respondents, respectively). Respondents—students of the first year of Faculty of Medicine Comenius University in Bratislava evaluated the level of ethical principles observance and pedagogical tact during teaching and the quality of mutual communication teacher–student and student–teacher. The results of this survey are analysed in this paper.   Keywords: Ethics, ethical principles in education, pedagogical tact, communication teacher—student.

Advances in cancer treatment, particularly chemotherapeutics, are expected to lead to significant improvements in survival rates. While cancer incidence and death rates are decreasing, quality of life after cancer may be reduced due to early functional failure of the gonads and, consequently, infertility, resulting from either the disease itself or its treatment. This chapter introduces clinicians to the new field of oncofertility and the ethical issues it raises. It will consider the situation of young cancer patients facing reproductive consequences globally, the retrieval of gametes or gonadal tissue from minors, and the use of these tissues long term. The field of oncofertility is new, but ethical considerations regarding reproductive interventions are old. Understanding how we approach these issues on a personal level and from the public’s perspective will be assessed in this chapter.

AbstractObjective:To present the clinical outcomes obtained by the first facial transplant teams worldwide, reviewing current practice and addressing controversies.Methods:A bibliographic search of Medline and Embase databases was performed, and a comparative analysis of all articles published from 1980 to the present was conducted. Two independent investigators screened the manuscripts in accordance with pre-defined criteria.Results:A total of 12 partial and 5 full facial transplants were recorded in the literature. Procedures included partial and near-total facial myocutaneous flaps, and complex osteomyocutaneous grafts. Fifteen patients had fully vascularised grafts, and two patients died of transplant-related and infectious complications.Conclusion:Facial transplantation can restore quality of life and enable the social re-integration of recipients. Results published by the first facial transplant teams are promising. However, long-term reports of aesthetic and functional outcomes are needed to more precisely define outcomes. In addition, significant technical, medical and ethical issues remain to be solved.

Student Relationship

Student ratings of instruction were correlated with examination performance in 72 sections of seven courses. In two of the courses, students had been randomly assigned to sections. The pattern of correlations across the courses indicated that the global ratings of teacher effectiveness and of the value of the course to students were most highly related to mean exam performance (12 out of 24 product-moment and partial correlations were 58 or above). Ratings of course objectives and organizations, and of the quality of lectures were also fairly well correlated with achievement. Ratings of other aspects of instruction, such as the teacher-student relationship or the difficulty/workload of the course, were not highly related to achievement scores.

BACKGROUND The research interest is the study of the quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis of different duration. OBJECTIVE The aim of study was to compare the quality of life in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) against patients with long-term RA. METHODS The study included 164 participants: 114 outpatients with early RA, and 50 outpatients with long-term RA. Assessment of life quality in patients with RA detected impaired parameters of the HAQ, SF-36, QOL-RA Scale already during the first year of the disease. RESULTS The HAQ test found a comparable frequency of severe functional disorders in patients with early and long-term RA. According to the SF-36 questionnaire, patients with early RA suffered from physical pain than patients with long-term RA. The QOL-RA Scale demonstrated that patients in the early stages of the disease, the lowest scores for the "arthritis" and "joint pain", and participants with long-term RA for "health" also. CONCLUSIONS Results indicated that these questionnaires may be used for scientific purposes to identify the most susceptible parameters of the quality of life and to provide benefits for monitoring health status and correct choice of drugs. CLINICALTRIAL The Scientific Council of the Orenburg State Medical Academy (currently the University) approved research in 2005 year (Protocol No. 5). All patients gave their written consent to participate in the scientific study.

The data presented in this study come from the first year of a 4-year research project which has been undertaken to develop a model to describe exemplary communicative practice in the education of students who are deaf. Based on extensive videotaping of teacher-student interactions across a range of ages and subject areas, with participants using a variety of signed communication forms, the nature of this signed classroom discourse is considered with respect to: (a) how it mediates the activity of teaching and learning, and (b) how it encompasses more than the linguistic quality of the signed communication. Dialogic inquiry is proposed as a framework for conceptualizing a model of effective pedagogical practice in the education of learners who are deaf.

Background: Within the 3Cs (closeness, commitment, and complementarity) theoretical framework of the quality of two-person relationships, a coach–athlete relationship quality questionnaire (CART-Q) was developed and validated to assess the nature of the coach–athlete relationship. In this study, a modified version of the CART-Q for physical education (PE) was adapted to assess the teacher–student relationship quality in the PE context in Turkey and Kuwait. The purpose of this study was to examine the factorial validity of the teacher–student relationship quality questionnaire (TSRQ-PE) within a sample of Turkish and Kuwaiti physical education teachers. Methods: Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) was used to test the measurement of cultural invariance between these two groups. A total of 175 teachers from Turkey (n = 73) and Kuwait (n = 102) completed the TPRQ-PE. Results: MGCFA supported the factorial validity of the TPRQ-PE in a three first-order factor model across the two countries. Overall, these results add evidence to the psychometric properties of the TPRQ-PE and suggest that this instrument can be applied to measure the quality of the teacher–student relationship within Turkey and Kuwait, although caution may be required when applied to drawing comparisons between these two counties. Conclusions: The results of the present study could help physical educators and researchers in this field to understand the reasons and methods that lead to a quality teacher–student relationship.

INTRODUCTION: Necrosis and perforation of the stomach and /or duodenum in newborns and infants is a rare but severe disease with high mortality. There are many theories about the etiology and pathogenesis of the necrosis and perforation of the stomach and duodenum in children of this age. Various treatment options are described, but neither foreign nor Russian publications have assessed the long-term results of the treatment of patients with perforation of the stomach and duodenum during the first year of life and the quality of their life. AIM: This study aimed to analyze the results of treatment of newborns and infants with perforation of the stomach and duodenum and to assess their long-term quality of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study analyzes the long-term results of treatment of 21 children, aged 212 yrs, with perforation of the stomach and duodenum. The volumetric evacuation function of the stomach and duodenum and the childs nutritional status were assessed. A survey of patients and their parents was also carried out to assess the quality of life of the child using questionnaires from the EuroQol Research Foundation version EQ5D-Y. RESULTS: The volumetric evacuation function of the stomach and duodenum recovered completely. The nutritional status of 16 (76%) children corresponds to their age. According to the results of the analysis of the questionnaire of the quality of life, eight patients aged 8 yrs and 15 parents consider the health profile of children as the best (71%), the parents of one patient assess the health profile of their child as satisfactory, and five mothers of children with neurological deficits rated as unsatisfactory. CONCLUSION: Owing to the high adaptation capacity of the newborn and infants of the first year of life, most of the examined patients have a good quality of life and a normal nutritional status. The volumetric evacuation function of the stomach and duodenum recovered in all patients within 13 yrs after surgery.

<b><i>Background/Aim:</i></b> Ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) has become the surgical procedure of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, to date few studies have examined functional outcomes or quality of life (QOL) in elderly patients after pouch construction. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In December 2017, we sent questionnaires to 224 patients aged 65 years and older at the time who underwent an IPAA at our hospital between June 1987 and May 2015 regarding issues related to QOL and functional outcomes. Responders aged 65–69 years old were defined as the elderly group (EG), while those 70 years old and over comprised the super-EG (SEG). <b><i>Results:</i></b> The response rate was 60.7% (136/224); 70 patients were classified as EG, and 66 were classified as SEG. The SEG were older at the time of the IPAA and during the follow-up period (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.01). The stool frequency per day was 8 times in both groups (<i>p</i> = 0.21). There was no significant difference between the EG and SEG with regard to daytime (53 vs. 56%, <i>p</i> = 0.73) or nighttime (65.7 vs. 53%, <i>p</i> = 0.16) soiling. There was also no difference in the exacerbation of daytime or nighttime soiling compared to the first year after the operation (daytime 5.7 vs. 12.1%, <i>p</i> = 0.23; nighttime 7.1 vs. 9.1%, <i>p</i> = 0.76). QOL was evaluated using the modified fecal incontinence QOL (mFIQL) scale, with no significant difference between the EG and SEG (27 vs. 31 points). Since both groups had mFIQL scores &#x3c;50, QOL was considered to be maintained. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> In our analysis of elderly patients in the long-term period following surgery for UC, some noted fecal soiling, though QOL was largely maintained, and there were no serious effects on daily life.

Background Starting dialysis is an important life event. The prevalence and evolution of psychological symptoms at commencement of long-term dialysis is unclear. We examined the prevalence of and risk factors for depression and anxiety, and the quality of life (QOL) of incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and also the change of these parameters in the first year of PD in relation to clinical outcomes under the PD-first policy. Methods All patients commencing long-term PD from March 2011 to April 2015 were asked to complete the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument Short Form questionnaire. Patient demographics and the incidence of hospitalization, peritonitis, exit-site infection, and all-cause mortality were studied. The HADS was repeated after 9 – 12 months. Results A high depression score was present in 39.6% of 191 patients at commencement of PD and was more common in diabetes patients (odds ratio [OR] 2.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09 – 3.81). A high anxiety score was present in 23.6%, and the risk factors included younger age (OR 0.96 per year, 95% CI 0.94 – 0.99) and diabetes (OR 2.59, 95% CI 1.20 – 5.57). Both high depression and anxiety scores were associated with an inferior QOL, overall and across most QOL domains. Depression and anxiety symptoms did not change in the first year of PD and were not associated with short-term clinical outcomes. Conclusions High depression and anxiety scores were prevalent in incident PD patients where PD-first policy is adopted and were associated with inferior QOL. There was no improvement after 1 year of PD. The impact of strategic interventions targeting patient groups at risk such as those with diabetes or of younger age warrants further investigation.
