Background: The rupture of fetal membrane before onset of labour at less than 37 completed weeks of gestation. Incidence of Preterm prelabour rupture of membrane (PPROM) ranges from 3.0-10.0% of all deliveries and causes around 25-30% of all preterm deliveries. Objective: To see the clinical profile, maternal and fetal outcome of preterm prelabour rupture of the membrane. Materials and Methods: One hundred fifteen pregnant women with 28-37 weeks of gestation and diagnosed as PPROM admitted in different units selected by purposive sampling, fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled as study population in this study. Results: The mean age was 24.65(±3.68) years. Majority (75.65%) were primi para. The mean gestational age was 32.34(±2.86) weeks, 79.13% had gestational age between 30-36 weeks and 20.87% had up to 30 wks. The common risk factors of the study population were history of coitus, CPD, infection and history of abortion which were 42.61%, 9.57%, 5.22% and 4.35% respectively. Majority 55.65% women had vaginal delivery, 44.35% had caesarian section. Majority of the babies born to PPROM group were in the very low birth weight category (53 cases 62.3%), whereas only 32 cases (37.6%) were of normal birth weight. Infection and perinatal mortality was significantly associated with PPROM. Conclusion: PPROM can be prevented avoiding the certain risk factors by proper ante natal checkup, strict follow up, good obstetrical care and perinatal care , making mass awareness of the sequele.

This article analyzes the relationship between Bitcoin and the stock market by using a vector autoregressive model. To enhance the impulse response signal, the Sliding Window technique is applied. Study results show the relationship between Bitcoin and the stock market. First, the S&P 500 has a relatively significant effect on Bitcoin, while the influence caused by the S&P 500 is weak. In addition, after involving the Sliding Window technique, the effects caused by the standard deviation of the S&P 500 and the mean of the Dow Jones are remarkably strong on the mean of Bitcoin and the standard deviation of the S&P 500 has a comparatively significant effect on the standard deviation of Bitcoin as well. Generally, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones indexes have an advantageous effect on Bitcoin. Financial investment can be made based on this model and conclusion.

This study aimed to reveal the degree of the social worker’s use of the counseling interview skills and its relationship to gender, experience, specialization and educational qualification variables. To achieve the goal of the study, the researcher used the descriptive approach and a tool was developed to measure the counseling interview skills consisting of (66) paragraphs. The consistency and reliability of the tool were measured and reached (0.86). The sample of the study consisted of (134) male and females social workers from Al-Dakhiliya Governorate schools in the Sultanate of Oman, which formed study population. The results of the study showed that social workers use the majority of the counseling interview skills and indicated that there are no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α≤0.05) in the degree of social workers' use of counseling interview skills attributable to study variables. The study results also indicated that the social workers use the interaction domain in a high degree, while they use the action and the reaction domain with a moderate degree. In addition to that, it indicated that the most used skills by social workers are the skills of suggestion, recitation of phrases, clarification.

At the time of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, several measures were in place to limit the spread of the virus, such as lockdown and restriction of social contacts. Many colleges thus had to shift their education from personal to online form overnight. The educational environment itself has a significant influence on students’ learning outcomes, knowledge, and satisfaction. This study aims to validate the tool for assessing the educational environment in the Slovenian nursing student population. To assess the educational environment, we used the DREEM tool distributed among nursing students using an online platform. First, we translated the survey questionnaire from English into Slovenian using the reverse translation technique. We also validated the DREEM survey questionnaire. We performed psychometric testing and content validation. I-CVI and S-CVI are at an acceptable level. A high degree of internal consistency was present, as Cronbach’s alpha was 0.951. The questionnaire was completed by 174 participants, of whom 30 were men and 143 were women. One person did not define gender. The mean age of students was 21.1 years (SD = 3.96). The mean DREEM score was 122.2. The mean grade of student perception of learning was 58.54%, student perception of teachers was 65.68%, student academic self-perception was 61.88%, student perception of the atmosphere was 60.63%, and social self-perception of students was 58.93%. Although coronavirus has affected the educational process, students still perceive the educational environment as positive. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement in all assessed areas.

Abstract Background Nasal obstruction is a significant medical problem. This study aimed to examine the effect of nasal obstruction and nasal packing on arterial blood gases and pulmonary function indices, and the impact of the elimination of nasal obstruction on preoperative values. Results The mean age of the study population was 26.6 ± 10.1 years, males represented 50.8%. Spirometric indices showed statistically significant improvement (preoperative forced expiratory volume in 1st second 66.9 ± 13.9 vs 79.6 ± 14.9 postoperative and preoperative forced vital capacity 65.5 ± 12.7 vs 80.4 ± 13.8 postoperative). Oxygen saturation was significantly lower during nasal packing (95.6 ± 1.6 preoperative vs 94.7 ± 2.8 with nasal pack), and significant improvement (97.2 ± 1.4) was observed after removal of the nasal pack. Nasal obstruction scores significantly improved. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that either simple nasal obstruction or nasal packing may cause hypoxemia and abnormalities in lung function tests. Hypoxemia was more evident with nasal packing.

Introduction: Adsorption of gentamicin in a polyacrylonitrile filter was previously evidenced in a session lasting 6 h using the NeckEpur model. We extended the study over three consecutive days to mimic the 72-h life span of a filter. Methods: Prismaflex® monitor and ST150® filter were used in the continuous diafiltration (CDF) mode at a 2.5 L/h flowrate. The daily session started with a 6-h session of CDF. Thereafter, the 5-L central compartment was changed using a bag free of gentamicin to assess gentamicin release over the following 18 h. Experiments were repeated on Day 2 and stopped at the end of the 6-h session of CDF on Day 3. The experiment was performed in duplicate. Results: At a 2.5 L/h diafiltration flowrate, the mean daily clearances of gentamicin were 5.5, 4.0, and 3.3 L/h, respectively. The mean diafiltration and adsorption ratios in the daily elimination of gentamicin were 32/68%, 58/42%, and 88/12%, respectively. During days 1 and 2, the mean amount of gentamicin released from the ST150® filter were 14 and 34 mg, respectively. Conclusion: The pharmacokinetics of gentamicin over 3 days is strongly altered by adsorption in the same filter with a progressive decrease of elimination by adsorption, suggesting saturation of the filter. One limitation of our study results from the mode of administration using a bolus dose instead of an infusion over 30 min. Adsorption adds a clearance to those of diafiltration. The time-dependency of gentamicin clearance precludes using a constant dosage regimen over the filter’s life span.
