A study on hospitalized patients of junctional rhythm with reference to the prevalence of different underlying etiologies

Introduction: Junctional rhythm (JR) is a rescue rhythm where the upstream impulse generators fail to pace the heart and atrioventricular (AV) junction takes up that function. The presentation is variable ranging from totally asymptomatic cases, where it is a manifestation of heightened vagal tone, to life-threatening bradycardia, resulting from some serious underlying pathologies. JR results from diverse causes such as sick sinus syndrome, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), dyselectrolytemia, drugs, and toxins. Understanding the etiologic factor has immense implication in the management as the prognosis is related mainly to the primary pathology rather than JR itself. Subjects and Methods: In this observational study, we evaluated 100 hospitalized patients of JR over a period of 1 year regarding their symptoms, signs, and underlying pathology. Results: Among 100 patients, 38 had a history of syncope and 42 had angina. Twenty-four patients had hyperkalemia (22 of them had renal dysfunction). Thirty patients had elevated troponin-T and/or CK-MB. The most common etiology was AMI responsible in 28% patients followed by hyperkalemia (24%), sick sinus syndrome (20%), and medication drug use (16%) as the principal causes of JR. Myocarditis, toxin, and hypothyroidism were uncommon association. Accelerated JR and junctional tachycardia were associated with AV nodal ablation and postsurgical patients, respectively. Conclusion: JR is a manifestation of several diverse etiopathologies, and elucidation of them is extremely important for the patient management. We estimated the prevalence of various underlying etiologies which should be considered during the management of such patients.

How to construct corporate identity and reputation. Is the ‘about us’ page a micro-genre?

Multimodal resources and digital multimedia technologies have been modifying and remodelling social practices in any field over the last decades. In business communication, histories of business, corporate vision and mission are today instantiated by the ‘About Us’ webpage, a sort of multimodal self-portrait or short autobiography created by the company itself. From a discursive perspective, this webpage typology has always been disregarded if compared with the crucial role played by the homepage that, according to the Usability guidelines, is to present the company, its business and market value. Only recently, web marketers have focused on the strategic function the undervalued ‘About Us’ page fulfils. It has revealed itself to be a goal-oriented sales page which focuses on highlighting the most relevant credentials of a company, its brand, and on making a strong impression on potential customers. Its aim is to remodel practices of Self presentation into practices of Self branding and this process takes place thanks to the co-deployment of different semiotic resources which, in turn, make use of different digital media technologies. This contribution will show how the specialized discourses of marketing and branding are translated, or rather transducted, into multimodal artefacts, the corporate ‘About Us’ pages, and how persuasive discursive strategies are embedded in a well-defined digital text pattern. Through the analysis of a small sample of corporate ‘About Us’ pages, we will demonstrate that these pages are the loci where business reputation and corporate identity can be constructed more effectively.

The groups (2, 𝑚 | 𝑛, 𝑘 | 1, 𝑞): Finiteness and homotopy

Abstract We initiate the study of the groups ( l , m ∣ n , k ∣ p , q ) (l,m\mid n,k\mid p,q) defined by the presentation ⟨ a , b ∣ a l , b m , ( a ⁢ b ) n , ( a p ⁢ b q ) k ⟩ \langle a,b\mid a^{l},b^{m},(ab)^{n},(a^{p}b^{q})^{k}\rangle . When p = 1 p=1 and q = m - 1 q=m-1 , we obtain the group ( l , m ∣ n , k ) (l,m\mid n,k) , first systematically studied by Coxeter in 1939. In this paper, we restrict ourselves to the case l = 2 l=2 and 1 n + 1 k ≤ 1 2 \frac{1}{n}+\frac{1}{k}\leq\frac{1}{2} and give a complete determination as to which of the resulting groups are finite. We also, under certain broadly defined conditions, calculate generating sets for the second homotopy group π 2 ⁢ ( Z ) \pi_{2}(Z) , where 𝑍 is the space formed by attaching 2-cells corresponding to ( a ⁢ b ) n (ab)^{n} and ( a ⁢ b q ) k (ab^{q})^{k} to the wedge sum of the Eilenberg–MacLane spaces 𝑋 and 𝑌, where π 1 ⁢ ( X ) ≅ C 2 \pi_{1}(X)\cong C_{2} and π 1 ⁢ ( Y ) ≅ C m \pi_{1}(Y)\cong C_{m} ; in particular, π 1 ( Z ) ≅ ( 2 , m ∣ n , k ∣ 1 , q ) \pi_{1}(Z)\cong(2,m\mid n,k\mid 1,q) .

Pragmatics through argumentative press articles. From theory to practice

The paper reports on a thirty-hour teaching module of English at the University of Udine in the second year of the degree course in Lingue e Letterature Straniere. The main goal was to raise the students’ awareness of how discourse and pragmatics provide tools useful to the discovery in an argumentative press article of the writer’s strategies to persuade the addressee and the role of the addressee in shaping language and content choices. The paper illustrates the methodology that was followed. It is divided into two sections. The first one contains a presentation of academic research related to the main themes covered in the course, from the layout of argumentation (Toulmin 2003, p. 87) to the arguer’s “strategic maneuvering” (van Eemeren 2010, p. 41) to persuade the “audience” (Perelman, Olbrechts-Tyteca 1969, pp. 5-8, 19). The second section describes the syllabus of the module to facilitate the comprehension of concepts from discourse and pragmatics. An overview of five workshops from the ten that characterized the module is included. A synthesis of a mini-lecture, aimed at connecting the students’ analysis of the articles to the academic research, concludes the presentation of each workshop.

Study on Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc Cases Admitted in Military Hospitals

Introduction: Prolapsed intervertebral disc is a condition that can occur anywhere along the spine, but most often occurs in the lower back. It is sometimes called a bulging, protruding or ruptured disc. It is one of the most common causes of lower back pain as well as leg pain or sciatica.
 Objective: To study the demographic characteristics of prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc by age, gender, clinical presentation, levels of spinal column involvement, treatment options and post operative complications for lumbar disc prolapse.
 Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Rangpur and Saidpur Combined Military Hospital from September2017 to December 2018. A Total of 223 Cases was studied and data were collected by semi-structured questionnaire by face to face interview and medical documents.
 Results: Most commonly affected disc spaces were L5/S1(35.87%)followed by L4/L5 (33.18%) and L4/L5,L5/S1(14.28%). Males were mostly affected and commonest among 30-39 years’ age group (45.29%). Chi-square test is done and result is statistically significant (p<0.01). Most of the cases given conservative treatment 202(90.58%), surgical treatment given 21(9.41%). Mechanical backache wasthe most common (14.29%) post operative complications.
 Conclusion: In this study prolapsed intervertebral disc was common in the lower lumbar region at the level of L4/L5 and L5/S1.

142: Predictors of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Patients Tested for Sars-CoV-2

INTRODUCTION: Since the detection of SARS-CoV-2, there have been descriptions of increased incidence of VTE in those with COVID-19 Despite the mounting evidence, little data exists on rates and predictors of VTE in SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals compared to negative patients with similar symptoms METHODS: Retrospective chart review of suspected SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals presenting to an Academic Medical Center in Baton Rouge, LA between 3/3/2020 and 5/13/2020 Patients were included if they were tested for SARS-CoV-2 and received a complex duplex ultrasound during the same admission Positive SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed via RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swabs All patients received thromboprophylaxis per hospital guidelines We compared baseline demographics, laboratory data, outcomes, and mortality between SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative patients utilizing Mann-Whitney U and Chi-Square tests Logistic regression was used to identify predictive factors for DVT RESULTS: A total of 92 patients were included, of which 51 were positive for COVID (55%) 35 patients (38%) had an ultrasound confirmed DVT Patients in the SARS-CoV-2 negative group had more severe illness on presentation (evidenced by higher Charlson scores (p<0 005) and APACHE-II scores (p<0 001)) There were no significant differences in other typical VTE risk factors including age, BMI, smoking history, or diabetes Rates of DVT were significantly higher in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients (51%) compared to negative (22%, p<0 01) Logistic Regression showed that in addition to well known risk factors (mechanical ventilation, surgery during admission), a positive SARS-CoV-2 result placed hospitalized patients at elevated risk of developing DVT (X2 (1,4)=32 39, p<0 001) While not statistically significant in our population, there was a higher rate of mortality in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients with DVT (38 5%) compared to those without DVT (24%, p=0 368) CONCLUSIONS: Even with less severe illness on presentation, thromboprophylaxis, and no difference in typical risk factors, SARS-CoV-2 positive patients were more likely to develop DVT compared to negative patients with similar symptoms Further study is warranted to determine appropriate dosing strategies for VTE prophylaxis in COVID patients
