The history of ideas of Nordic midwives’ excursions from the early 19th century to the millennium

The midwifery art has emphasised the uniqueness of human beings throughout its Nordic history. The educated Nordic midwife has in the last decade celebrated several hundred years of memories. This article studies how the key ideas of the midwifery art and patterns of ideas become evident in the zeitgeist from the beginning of the 19th century to the millennium in the Nordic countries. The legacy and pattern of ideas of the art of midwifery are interpreted in relation to the texts of the selected historical sources and based on Ricoeur's phenomenological-hermeneutic approach to the text and further to the dedication of understanding and interpretation. The historical sources refer to unprinted primary sources from historical archives and printed secondary and tertiary sources. The patterns of ideas include a tripartite whole: the true cultivation of the head, the philosophy and aesthetics of the hand, the strength of the heart and the drive of calling. These ideas open for unique visions and attest to the evident in modern midwives. Today's midwives have academic training with examinations, and the education is based on scientific evidence. The midwife profession is authorised by the state and supervised by the authorities.

Split liver transplantation is utilized infrequently and concentrated at few transplant centers in the United States

Split liver transplantation (SLT) is 1 strategy for maximizing the number of deceased donor liver transplants. Recent reports suggest that utilization of SLT in the United States remains low. We examined deceased donor offers that were ultimately split between 2010 and 2014. SLTs were categorized as “primary” and “secondary” transplants. We analyzed allocation patterns and used logistic regression to evaluate factors associated with secondary split discard. Four hundred eighteen livers were split: 54% from adult, 46% from pediatric donors. Of the 227 adult donor livers split, 61% met United Network for Organ Sharing “optimal” split criteria. A total of 770 recipients (418 primary and 352 secondary) were transplanted, indicating 16% discard. Ninety‐two percent of the 418 primary recipients were children, and 47% were accepted on the first offer. Eighty‐seven percent of the 352 secondary recipients were adults, and 7% were accepted on the first offer. Of the 352 pairs, 99% were transplanted in the same region, 36% at the same center. In logistic regression, shorter donor height was associated with secondary discard (odds ratio 0.97 per cm, 95% CI 0.94‐1.00, P = .02). SLT volume by center was not predictive of secondary discard. Current policy proposals that incentivize SLT in the United States could increase the number of transplants to children and adults.     

基于静息态脑电图的卒中后抑郁脑网络异常特征研究

目的 基于静息态脑电图探索卒中后抑郁（post-stroke depression，PSD）脑网络特征异常改变，提取 客观生物标志物。 方法 回顾性分析深圳市人民医院脑电数据库中缺血性卒中慢性期患者病例资料，收集静息态 脑电图与汉密尔顿抑郁量表（Hamilton depression scale，HAMD）、MMSE及NIHSS评分资料。以HAMD评分 ≥20分为分界值，并通过病灶位置及体积匹配将患者分为PSD组和卒中后非抑郁（post stroke nondepression， PSND）组。脑电图数据预处理后，分别基于相干性虚部及能量包络在皮层源层面建立不同 频段功能连接矩阵，采用基于网络的统计方法分析两组间差异。 结果 与PSND组比较，PSD组患者①基于相干性虚部的脑网络连接在δ频段减弱，以顶叶脑区连接 减弱更明显；θ频段减弱，以左侧额顶颞枕、边缘叶及右侧额叶连接减弱更明显；γ频段增强，以左 侧额叶、边缘叶及右侧顶叶脑区连接增强更明显；②基于能量包络的脑网络连接在α频段增强，以双 侧顶枕叶脑区连接增强更明显。 结论 PSD患者脑网络发生异常改变，静息态脑电图是揭示这种改变的有效工具。     

漏斗胸Nuss矫形术对胸廓的影响及相关因素分析

目的通过CT影像测量了解漏斗胸Nuss矫形术前后胸廓径线的改变情况,探讨并分析Nuss矫形术对胸廓的影响及相关因素。方法对2014年1月至2018年12月郑州大学第一附属医院收治的50例行漏斗胸Nuss矫形术患儿的临床资料进行回顾性分析。50例患儿中男43例,女7例。所有患儿中存在脊柱侧弯6例,胸廓不对称12例,胸骨旋转11例。通过CT影像测量其放置矫形器前及取出矫形器后胸廓各椎体平面最大横内径及该平面胸脊间的距离,通过配对样本t检验比较矫形前后各径线的改变情况,以及通过独立样本t检验分析在不同年龄、性别、矫形时间、漏斗胸对称与否、是否合并脊柱侧弯等情况间的差异性。结果50例患儿均顺利完成矫形器置入术及矫形器拔除术,无明显术中及术后并发症,Nuss矫形后较矫形前相比,胸廓前后径在第8~12胸椎水平均较前增加,第3~5胸椎平面较前减小,胸廓横径在第8~10胸椎平面较前减小;年龄≤10岁、矫形时长≥2年及女性患儿胸廓前后径改变量在多个胸椎平面分别较年龄>10岁、矫形时长<2年及男性患儿大,P<0.05,差异具有统计学意义。结论漏斗胸Nuss矫形后前胸壁凹陷较前明显改善,并且在不同年龄和不同矫形时长间存在差异性,年龄较小及适当增加矫形时间可获得较好的矫形效果,而胸廓横径生长在一定程度上受限。     

A comparison of the relationships between psychosocial factors,occupational strain,and work ability among 4 ethnic teacher groups in China

The present study compared the level of occupational strain and work ability among Han, Hui, Uygur, Hui, and Kazakh teachers, and explored ethnic differences based on the associations of psychosocial factors at work, occupational strain, and work ability. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,941 teachers in primary and secondary schools in Xinjiang Province, China. Psychosocial factors, occupational strain, and work ability were measured using the Occupation Stress Inventory—Revised Edition (OSI-R) and Work Ability Index. Han and Hui teachers experienced reduced work ability compared with Uygur and Kazakh teachers, and this finding was caused, in part, by exposure to psychosocial factors at work. The vocational and psychological strains caused by these factors play an important role in reduced work ability among all ethnic teacher groups. The findings indicate the importance of taking action to reduce occupational strain for promoting teachers' work ability in multiethnic workplaces.     

Ionic (Co)Organocatalyst with (Thio)Urea Anion and Tetra‑n‑butyl Ammonium Cation for the Polymerization of γ‐Butyrolactone

An effective ionic organocatalyst system is developed for the challenging ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of γ‐butyrolactone (GBL) at low temperature. The catalysts are prepared by dehydration reaction between tetra‐n‐butyl ammonium hydroxide (TBAOH) and (thio)ureas at ambient temperature, and utilized with or without extra benzyl alcohol (BnOH) initiator. The solid‐state structure of TUA‐3 comprising thiourea anion is characterized by X‐ray diffraction analysis. Typically, a mixture of cyclic and linear poly(GBL) with low molecular weights (5000–1600 g mol^?1) and slightly narrow molecular distribution Ð (1.2–1.4) is obtained by single base with/without combination with (thio)ureas. Interestingly, solely linear high‐molecular‐weight poly(GBL) (10 400 g mol^?1) can be achieved by a synergistic effect of TBAOH/N,N′‐isopropylthiourea in the presence of BnOH. The obtained poly(GBL) is characterized with NMR spectroscopy and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI‐TOF MS). Mechanistic studies reveal different polymerization initiation steps in this reported catalyst system, which leads to poly(GBL) with divergent end groups.     

Three cases of COVID-19 patients presenting with erythema

Individuals infected with the novel coronavirus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2]) who develop coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) experience many symptoms; however, cutaneous manifestations are relatively rare. The authors encountered three patients with COVID-19 who presented with erythema and suspected viral rash. In all cases, erythema appeared after the onset of the initial symptoms of COVID-19. Erythema was considered to be caused by COVID-19 and not a drug-induced eruption because, in all cases, erythema was relieved merely by external medicine and oral antihistamines, without discontinuing the original medication. The authors’ hospital accepted 69 COVID-19 patients between 22 February 2020 and 31 May 2020 and, of these, three (4.3%) exhibited eruptions, and all cases presented erythema. Except for seven patients who exhibited positive nasopharyngeal swab tests for SARS-CoV-2 RNA but no symptoms, three (4.8%) of the remaining 62 patients exhibited erythema. Although various types of eruptions have been reported in patients with COVID-19, erythema was the only type in our patients. Erythema in the three patients exhibited many similarities to that previously reported in COVID-19 patients, particularly in the manner it appeared and disappeared. For these reasons, these three cases were considered typical examples of erythema in patients with COVID-19. Considering previous studies and the three cases reported here, there is a high probability that SARS-CoV-2 can cause erythema.
