From flare to care: Dermatologists' impact on pediatric atopic dermatitis hospital admissions.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic skin disease in the pediatric population; however, rates of admissions for flares in patients established with dermatology compared to those that are not established have not been fully assessed in prior studies. We reviewed electronic medical records of patients hospitalized (billing codes 99221-99223, 99217) with diagnoses encompassing AD, eczema, and dermatitis (ICD-10 codes L20.8-L20.9, L30.8-L30.9) between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2021, at University Hospitals (UH) in Cleveland, Ohio. Patients were considered established with dermatology if they had been seen by a dermatology provider within 6 months prior to admission. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square goodness of fit. A total of 95 patient encounters met criteria for inclusion. Fifteen (15.8%) patients were established with dermatology at the time of admission and 80 (84.2%) were not. The chi-square value (x2 = 44.74) was greater than the critical value of 10.828 at one degree of freedom (p < .001). There were 8 patients who had more than one admission for atopic dermatitis flares; 2 of these patients were established with dermatology prior to their first admission, and 4 were established at the time of the second admission. The majority of patients admitted with AD flare were not established with dermatology. Many of these patients lived in a low socioeconomic area and missed follow-up appointments. Increasing access to dermatologic care for patients with atopic dermatitis, especially in lower-income areas, could aid in decreasing atopic dermatitis-related hospitalizations.

PENGARUH MATA KULIAH AQIDAH AKHLAK TERHADAP NILAI BUDAYA ISLAMI MAHASISWA DI UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH SUKABUMI

Moral education in an era full of technological sophistication is needed so that life is not arbitrary. If the morals of youth, especially ummi students, do not have good morals, it is difficult for lecturers to create the next generation of Islamic culture. Religion and culture influence each other. Religion affects cultures, groups, communities, and ethnic groups. Culture tends to change which has implications for the authenticity of religion. The methodology of this research uses the distribution of questionnaires and filling out questionnaires aimed at students who have followed the Aqidah Morals course using a quantitative approach. The method used is descriptive associative method. This research uses descriptive because it is described based on the results of facts in the field. There are three variables, namely Y Islamic culture, XI course values, and X2 understanding. The Regression Model/Equation Y -2.404 + 1.005x₁ + 0964x₂ Y Culture X₁ Value X₂ Understanding With the regression model above, it is known if the value and understanding are constant (zero ) then the Islamic culture of students at UMMI will have a negative value, so that it can be concluded "Students' values and understanding of Aqidah Akhlak courses play an important role in building Islamic culture of students at UMMI." become a person's culture and habits. So that the culture of having good morals becomes a good culture, both for individuals as servants of God, or as social beings. Research can be a tip to build and create students to become students who have Islamic culture and have good morals.

Role of immobilised Chlorophyta algae in form of calcium alginate beads for the removal of phenol: isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic study

In this work, sodium alginate-immobilised Chlorophyta algae were evaluated for phenol uptake. The algae/alginate bead (AAB) characteristics were analysed by means of BET-BJH, FTIR, and SEM-EDX methods, while the adsorption performance of AABs with respect to phenol removal was investigated using batch studies. The parameters found to affect the biosorption capacity of AABs included pH, contact time, initial phenol concentration, adsorbent dosage, stirring rate, particle size, and temperature, with the optimal operating variables identified as a pH of 6, an initial phenol concentration of 50 mg/L, AAB dosage of 5 g/L, and a 200 rpm stirring rate. The adsorption process in such cases reached equilibrium within 120 min, demonstrating a maximum phenol elimination capacity of 9.56 mg/g at 30 °C. The isotherm and kinetic models used to determine this were evaluated using the Chi-square test (X2), the coefficient of determination (R2), and the value of equilibrium capacity, with results that revealed that the Freundlich isotherm provides the best fit for the relevant equilibrium data, as shown by its high R2 value (0.96) and low X2 value (1.16135); the theoretical data produced by that model were thus closer to the experimental data than that from the Langmuir model. Kinetic analysis showed that the phenol adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters were thus explored, revealing that the phenol biosorption process is based on spontaneous physisorption with an exothermic reaction due to negative (ΔG°) and (ΔH°) values. The low cost, natural origin, biodegradability, and eco-friendliness of algae/alginate bead sorbents also make them ideally suited for phenol removal in aqueous solutions.

Наследование устойчивости к расе G Orobanche cumana Wallr. в F2 и ВС1 у линии подсолнечника RGM

One of the most harmful biotic factors influencing the stability of sunflower yields is a parasite weed – broomrape (Orobanche Cumana Wallr.). Among the different measures of this parasite control, the usage of genetic resistance is the most ecologic. Lines of the different origin resistant to a race G were developed in V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops. However, inheritance of a trait of resistance was not studied in all lines. Thus, the purpose of this work was studying the genetic control of resistance to a broomrape race G in a line RGM in F2 and BC1. To analyze inheritance, we used the line RGM resistant to the broomrape race G and susceptible to this race the sterile and fertile forms of a line VK 680 of VNIIMK breeding. Resistance of plants in F2 and BC1 was tested in protected ground infected with seeds of a broomrape race G using a method of earlier diagnosis by A.Ya. Panchenko. Reciprocal crosses of the line RGM and susceptible sunflower lines resulted that all obtained hybrids F1 had low middle level of broom-rape infestation. When crossing heterozygous plants F1 and a susceptible parental form of sunflower in BC1 two phenotypes were obtained: susceptible and incomplete resistant (intermediate) in the ratio of 1 : 1. This is typical for monogenic inheritance of a trait. A value x2 was equal 1.38 that certifies the hypothesis the only gen controls resistance of this line with a probability from 0.20 to 0.30. In F2 population splitting for three phenotypical classes was observed: resistant, intermediate, and susceptible in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 1. A value x2 was equal 0.58 that certifies the hypothesis the only gen controls resistance of the studied line with an incomplete dominance with a probability from 0.20 to 0.30.

“Effect of calcifediol treatment and best available therapy versus best available therapy on intensive care unit admission and mortality among patients hospitalized for COVID-19: A pilot randomized clinical study”

ObjectiveThe vitamin D endocrine system may have a variety of actions on cells and tissues involved in COVID-19 progression especially by decreasing the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Calcifediol can rapidly increase serum 25OHD concentration. We therefore evaluated the effect of calcifediol treatment, on Intensive Care Unit Admission and Mortality rate among Spanish patients hospitalized for COVID-19. DesignParallel pilot randomized open label, double-masked clinical trial. SettingUniversity hospital setting (Reina Sofia University Hospital, Córdoba Spain.) Participants76 consecutive patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection, clinical picture of acute respiratory infection, confirmed by a radiographic pattern of viral pneumonia and by a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR with CURB65 severity scale (recommending hospital admission in case of total score > 1). ProceduresAll hospitalized patients received as best available therapy the same standard care, (per hospital protocol), of a combination of hydroxychloroquine (400 mg every 12 h on the first day, and 200 mg every 12 h for the following 5 days), azithromycin (500 mg orally for 5 days. Eligible patients were allocated at a 2 calcifediol:1 no calcifediol ratio through electronic randomization on the day of admission to take oral calcifediol (0.532 mg), or not. Patients in the calcifediol treatment group continued with oral calcifediol (0.266 mg) on day 3 and 7, and then weekly until discharge or ICU admission. Outcomes of effectiveness included rate of ICU admission and deaths. ResultsOf 50 patients treated with calcifediol, one required admission to the ICU (2%), while of 26 untreated patients, 13 required admission (50 %) p value X2 Fischer test p < 0.001. Univariate Risk Estimate Odds Ratio for ICU in patients with Calcifediol treatment versus without Calcifediol treatment: 0.02 (95 %CI 0.002−0.17). Multivariate Risk Estimate Odds Ratio for ICU in patients with Calcifediol treatment vs Without Calcifediol treatment ICU (adjusting by Hypertension and T2DM): 0.03 (95 %CI: 0.003-0.25). Of the patients treated with calcifediol, none died, and all were discharged, without complications. The 13 patients not treated with calcifediol, who were not admitted to the ICU, were discharged. Of the 13 patients admitted to the ICU, two died and the remaining 11 were discharged. ConclusionOur pilot study demonstrated that administration of a high dose of Calcifediol or 25-hydroxyvitamin D, a main metabolite of vitamin D endocrine system, significantly reduced the need for ICU treatment of patients requiring hospitalization due to proven COVID-19. Calcifediol seems to be able to reduce severity of the disease, but larger trials with groups properly matched will be required to show a definitive answer.
