Introduction.A decrease in ventilation capacity entails a significant change in the kinetics of respiratory gases, which can lead to the formation of hypoxic, hypo- or hypercapnic states, which sharply limit the adaptive capabilities of the body and facilitate the formation of professional burnout syndrome, which predetermines the relevance of their study.Purpose: to assess respiratory performance in naval professionals who have (or do not) show signs of professional burnout.Materials and methods.The study involved 250 naval specialists aged 25 to 45 years, divided into 2 groups — with the absence (group 1 (n=91 people)) and the presence (group 2 (n=159 people)) signs of professional burnout, in which respiratory indicators.Results and its discussion. It was found that naval specialists with signs of professional burnout, as compared to those who do not have it, have significantly higher indicators for peak volumetric velocity, instantaneous and average volumetric vital capacity velocity, reserve expiratory volume, as well as assessing the ratio of reserve inhalation to exhalation volume; at the same time, such persons had a significantly lower index of the reserve inspiratory volume.Conclusion. It is advisable to take into account the indicators of the functioning of the respiratory system, which is of decisive importance in providing the body with oxygen, which ultimately determines the success of adaptation and the prevention of the occurrence of unacceptable functional states, which include professional burnout.

Relevance. Odontogenic infection is one of the most important problems of dental science. The variety of anti-inflammatory oral hygiene products determines the need for targeted selection of preventive toothpastes and rinses, balms, foams, elixirs, as well as monitoring and training the algorithm of hygienic measures for a patient with an odontogenic infection. The aim of the study was to study the hygienic status of the adult population for the selection of individual oral hygiene products for odontogenic infection, taking into account social and hygienic factors.Materials and methods. The study examined the prevalence of odontogenic infection in the adult population to determine the need for professional care and dental education. The study involved 198 people without somatic pathology, who were allocated into four groups according to the performed oral care and taking into account the dental status and the intensity of oral microbiota formation in the adult population. The patients were followed-up every week for one month. The study examined the simplified oral hygiene index by GreenVermillion (OHI-S), PMA index and Mühlemann and Son sulcus bleeding index, which allowed calculating the effectiveness of oral care products.Results. The preventive care effectiveness evaluation showed an increase in the cleansing effect in the adult population over the entire study period. The anti-inflammatory effectiveness analysis demonstrated positive changes: by the end of the study, the PMA index was 51.52 ± 3.40% in group 1; it increased by a factor of 3 and amounted to 44.17 ± 2.77% in group 2; 56.51 ± 4.61% – in group 3, 48.95 ± 3.60% – in group 4. The Mühlemann and Son sulcus bleeding index demonstrated the changes in the periodontal tissue condition and amounted to 52.78 ± 3.62% in group 1, 44.11 ± 3.54% in group 2, 54.97 ± 3.98% in group 3, 47.78 ± 2.73% in group 4.Conclusions. The development of oral health promotion measures determines the significance of oral care products for the prevention of odontogenic infection in the adult population, which plays a crucial role in the individual program planning for the main dental disease prevention.

Abstract Abstract 4364 Anticoagulation with dose adjusted vitamin-K antagonists (VKA, therapeutic range of the international normalized ratio (INR) of 2 to 3) and low dose aspirin (65 to 330 mg daily) enhance bleeding following tooth extraction. However, intensity of bleeding varies substantially between patients. Guidelines disagree regarding interruption or continuation of anticoagulation for tooth extraction. We hypothesized that personality traits may moderate bleeding intensity under anticoagulation. A total of 180 patients (77 female, 103 male, 49.9+15.3 years (mean, standard deviation)) underwent tooth extraction without interruption of anticoagulation. Sixty three patients did not take any anticoagulant (group 1), 60 patients were on aspirin (group 2), and 57 patients on VKA (INR 2–3, group 3). Patients completed a validated state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), a personality inventory with 12 dimensions (Freiburg personality inventory (FPI)), and a self-developed questionnaire on general attitudes regarding general feeling and anxiety before tooth extraction. Dentists (JF, PH) rated bleeding intensity ranging from 0 to 9 according a standardized protocol. Intensity of bleeding after tooth extraction was higher in group 3 (score <5 in 40%, score >5 in 60% of patients) compared to groups 1 (40% and 60%) and 2 (53% and 47%) and higher in group 2 compared to group 1 (p<0.005, chi-square test) as expected. Higher anxiety values in STAI questionnaire correlated positively with higher bleeding scores (p<0.0001). High values of some of the FPI dimensions correlated positively with self-consciousness (p<0.0001), physical complaints (p<0.001), and emotionality (p<0.0001) life, and negatively with satisfaction (p<0.02) and extraversion (p<0.003) without differences between groups 1 to 3. Anxiety symptoms of the self questionnaire were identified as moderating factor on bleeding intensity following tooth extraction independently of anticoagulation (p<0.0001) according multinominal regression analysis. Other items of the self questionnaire such as physiological stress symptoms, regular performance of visits, bad experience with dentists, and pains during tooth extraction did not influence bleeding intensity. A short questionnaire is developed to identify the anxiety score of patients as a tool for a non pharmaceutical medical intervention to reduce bleeding complications following tooth extraction. Because differences of the moderating effect of bleeding by personality traits may exist between cultures, the questionnaire will be made available across countries www.blutverduennung.uni-hd.de Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the effect of severity of adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD) and information about it on unfamiliar listeners' attitudes about speakers' personal characteristics, perceived vocal effort, and listener comfort on the basis of ratings of speech recordings.MethodFifteen women with ADSD and 5 controls provided speech samples. Forty-five unfamiliar listeners were randomized into 3 groups. Listeners in Group 1 received no information, listeners in Group 2 were told that some speakers had voice disorders or had no voice concerns, and listeners in Group 3 were provided diagnostic labels for each speaker and information about ADSD. Listeners then rated speech samples for attitudes, perceived vocal effort, and listener comfort.ResultsSpeakers with ADSD were judged significantly worse than controls for attitudes related to “social desirability” and “intellect.” There was no effect of severity on “personality” attributes. However, provision of a diagnostic label resulted in significantly more favorable personality ratings than when no label was provided. Perceived vocal effort and comfort became significantly more negative as ADSD severity increased. Finally, most listener ratings were unaffected by provision of additional information about ADSD.ConclusionsListeners' perceptions about speakers with ADSD are difficult to change. Directions for counseling and public education need future study.

P51 Background and Purpose: The ischemic penumbra is composed of neurons that are functionally impaired but structurally intact, and thus potentially salvageable. Identifying the penumbra and its relationship with the ischemic core may lead to a more physiologic selection of patients who might benefit from recanalization therapy. We sought to explore the core/penumbra relationship by quantitatively measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) in patients with acute M1 occlusion. Methods: 19 patients with M1 occlusion proven by CT angiography or conventional cerebral angiography underwent a Xe-CT/CBF study within 6 hours of symptoms onset. Mean CBF values were measured in the ipsilateral cortical MCA territory. The core was defined as areas with CBF< 8 ml/100g/min and the penumbra was defined as areas with CBF 9–20 ml/100g/min. Findings were correlated with the admission NIH stroke scale (NIHSS). Results: In 6/19 patients (31.5%)(group 1), the size of the penumbra was greater than twice the size of the core. In 8/19 patients (42.1%) (group 2), the size of the penumbra was approximately equal the size of the core. In 5/19 patients (26.8%)(group 3) the size of the penumbra was less than half the size of the core. The median core volumes for each of the three groups, expressed as percentage of core relative to ipsilateral cortical MCA territory, increased from group 1 to group 3. While there was a trend towards a correlation between the admission NIHSS and the combined core and penumbral volumes, no such correlation could be established between admission NIHSS and core or penumbral volumes alone. Conclusions: In the first 6 hours after M1 occlusion, penumbral volumes that are larger than or equal to core volumes are present in 14 out of 19 patients. A smaller core volume is associated with an increased penumbra to core ratio. The admission NIHSS in patients with M1 occlusion correlates with the combined volumes of core and penumbra.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of potato clonal families, and to estimate genetic variance, heritability and the expected response to selection of tuber yield and appearance traits in early generations. Twelve potato families were obtained from crosses between two groups of randomly-selected genotypes, including Eliza, C1730-7-94, and C-1742-8-95 in group 1; and Shepody, Asterix, Caesar, and White Lady in group 2. The crosses were made in factorial design (3 genotypes x4 genotypes), and each family consisted of 75 genotypes. Experiments were conducted in the fall of 2010, with a seedling generation under greenhouse conditions, and in the fall of 2011, with a clonal generation under field condition. High heritability estimates suggest that mild to moderate selection can be applied in the seedling generation to eye depth, eyebrow prominence, tuber curvature, flattening and shape uniformity. The C1742-8-95/White Lady stood out as a superior cross, as did all other crosses with White Lady, regarding tuber appearance and yield traits.

The aim of this study was to discuss the new methods of clinical classification and staging of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) proposed by our group and to summarize the experiences of surgical treatment of MG with a novel incision by cutting the sternum cross-sectionally at the second intercostal level. A retrospective analysis was made for the clinical data from the patients with MG who underwent thymectomy from July 1988 to May 2009. The surgical procedures were designed into three groups, a group with Osserman classification and median incision of the sternum (Group 1), a group with MGFA typing (Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America) and a small transverse sternal incision at the second intercostal level (Group 2), and a group with new typing and a smaller transverse sternal incision at the second intercostal level (Group 3). Observation of the clinical typing and staging was made in the patients with myasthenia crisis. The parameters such as procedure duration in Group 2 and 3 was significantly lower than those in Group 1 ( P < 0.05). The incidence of myasthenia crisis in Group 3 was significantly lower than that in Groups 2 and 3 ( P < 0.05). The procedure with a smaller transverse sternal incision at the second intercostal level (Group 3) is a safer method for patients with MG. The combination of this procedure with the new typing and staging methods proposed by our group could facilitate the selection of operation indications and opportunity, resulting in the lower incidence of myasthenia crisis and mortality. Our new procedure is well deserved to be a preferential selection by other hospitals.

Abstract Purpose Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are known to have impaired neurodevelopment possibly influenced by altered cerebroplacental hemodynamics antenatally. We compared fetomaternal Doppler patterns in different CHD groups with published normative values during gestation. Materials and Methods Retrospective cohort study consisting of 248 CHD fetuses. Subgroups were generated according to the expected ascending aorta oxygen saturation: low portion of high oxygenated umbilical venous (UV) blood (group 1: n = 108), intermediate portion of UV blood due to intracardiac mixing with oxygen poor systemic blood (group 2: n = 103), high (group 3: n = 13) and low portion of UV blood without mixing of blood (group 4: n = 24). Doppler examination included umbilical artery and middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (UA-PI, MCA-PI), cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) and mean uterine artery (mUtA) PI. For mean comparisons at different gestational ages (GA), estimated marginal means from regression models are reported for GA 22 weeks (wks), GA 30 wks and GA 38 wks. Results Z-score transformed values of MCA-PI (zMCA-PI) were significantly lower in group 1 compared to all other subgroups at GA 30 wks (p < 0.05). At 38 wks, group 1 had significantly lower values of zMCA-PI and zCPR compared to groups 2 and 4. Group 1 fetuses showed a significant association between zMCA-PI and zCPR (negative) and GA as well as zmUtA-PI (positive) and GA compared to reference values. Conclusion Our data confirm that CHD fetuses have a higher rate of cerebral redistribution in the third trimester. Changes in Doppler patterns were mainly observed in CHD with a low portion of UV blood in the ascending aorta.

ABSTRACT Background: High-resolution manometry is more costly but clinically superior to conventional manometry. Water-perfused systems may decrease costs, but it is unclear if they are as reliable as solid-state systems, and reference values are interchangeable. Aim: To validate normal values for a new water-perfusion high-resolution manometry system. Methods: Normative values for a 24-sensors water perfused high-resolution manometry system were validated by studying 225 individuals who underwent high resolution manometry for clinical complaints. Patients were divided in four groups: group 1 - gastroesophageal reflux disease; group 2 - achalasia; group 3 - systemic diseases with possible esophageal manifestation; and group 4 - dysphagia. Results: In group 1, a hypotonic lower esophageal sphincter was found in 49% of individuals with positive 24 h pH monitoring, and in 28% in pH-negative individuals. In groups 2 and 3, aperistalsis was found in all individuals. In group 4, only one patient (14%) had normal high-resolution manometry. Conclusions: The normal values determined for this low-cost water-perfused HRM system with unique peristaltic pump and helicoidal sensor distribution are discriminatory of most abnormalities of esophageal motility seen in clinical practice.

The Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Style (TAIS), a 144-item personality inventory developed by sport psychologist Robert Nideffer, was used for the first time with dancers in this study to explore (1) what it would divulge about the shared personality traits of elite-level dancers and (2) whether it might be useful as a teaching/counseling tool to enhance the performance of under-achieving dance students. Two sets of subjects were tested: group 1 (n = 41: 22 females, 19 males) was composed of professional dancers from the Boston Ballet Company, while the subjects in group 2 (n = 42: 38 females, 4 males) were all dance majors at the Boston Conservatory. A composite profile was developed for each group by averaging the scores recorded on each of the 18 scales used in the TAIS analysis, and the two profiles were then compared in accordance with standard testing procedures. Both groups were found to be characterized by an internally focused attentional style, but the professionals were clearly more skilled in adapting this style to the elimination of internal and external distractions. This finding was reinforced by a contrast in the personality traits relating to interpersonal style, which again portrayed the student dancers as relatively vulnerable to distraction as a result of higher levels of extroversion and impulsivity, and greater ambivalence in their response to external authority. It is concluded that elite dancers do share certain traits in common, and that identifying personality characteristics that are important to success in dance may provide both students and their teachers with insight for enhancing performance.
