Gluhe i nagluhe osobe kao knjižnični korisnici: mogućnosti i perspektive

Osobama s posebnim potrebama kao knjižničnim korisnicima počelo se baviti još 30-ih godina prošloga stoljeća kada je pri IFLA-i osnovana Sekcija za knjižnične služne i usluge za osobe s posebnim potrebama. Međutim, o gluhim i nagluhim osobama, skupini koju čini gotovo 275 milijuna osoba, kao pojedinačnoj skupini korisnika počelo se govoriti tek 80-ih godina, a prve Smjernica za knjižnične službe i usluge za gluhe izdane su 1991. godine. U Hrvatskoj se tim pitanjem počelo baviti mnogo kasnije. Ovaj rad daje pregled najznačajnijih sekcija u okviru knjižničarskih udruženja, standarda i smjernica koje nude savjete za uspješno i kvalitetno pružanje usluga gluhim i nagluhim korisnicima. Nadalje, dan je kratak uvid u informacijske potrebe gluhih i nagluhih osoba kao knjižničnih korisnika te su prikazani primjeri dobre prakse kao primjer drugim knjižnicama. Rad donosi i kratki pregled IFLA-inih smjernica za knjižnične usluge namijenjene gluhim i nagluhim osobama te savjete ASCLA- e (Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies) koji olakšavaju komunikaciju sa spomenutim korisnicima. Prikazana je i Hrvatska udruga gluhoslijepih osoba "Dodir" koja ima vrijedno iskustvo u radu s gluhoslijepim osobama. Navođenjem dobrih primjera rada knjižnica s gluhim i nagluhim osobama u svijetu i Hrvatskoj prikazana je mogućnost prevladavanja barijera i problema prilikom zadovoljavanja njihovih informacijskih potreb

OBSTETRIC SEPSIS

Sepsa u trudnoći i puerperiju još uvijek je značajan uzrok smrtnosti majki u zemljama u razvoju, a u zadnjem desetljeću primjećuje se i njezin porast u razvijenim zemljama. Često je podmuklog tijeka i stanje pacijentice može se brzo pogoršati od punog zdravlja do razvoja septičnog šoka s multiplim organskim disfunkcijskim sindromom i smrti u roku od nekoliko sati. Neki smrtni ishodi se nažalost neće moći spriječiti ali rana dijagnoza i promptna terapija mogu poboljšati ishod i preživljenje.Obstetric sepsis is still a signifi cant cause of maternal mortality in developing world, and in the last decade, an increasing number of cases have also been recorded in developed countries. Its onset can be insidious and patients can deteriorate from well-being to development of septic shock with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death in a few hours. Unfortunately, some deaths are unavoidable, but early diagnosis and prompt therapy can improve outcome and survivability

Ugradnja filtra u donju šuplju venu prije operacijskog zahvata u žene s tumorom jajnika i simptomima duboke venske tromboze: prikaz slučaja i pregled literature

Venous thromboembolism is a frequent complication of gynecologic cancer, and may be the first symptom of occult malignant disease. Although anticoagulation therapy remains the standard of care in patients presenting with acute venous thromboembolism, inferior vena cava filters are an important alternative when anticoagulants are contraindicated or ineff ective. We report a case of a 69-year-old women who presented with left leg swelling secondary to deep venous thrombosis before the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Th e aim of this study is to review the respective literature and report our experience with inferior vena cava fi lter placement to prevent pulmonary embolism in gynecologic cancer patients.Venska tromboembolija je česta komplikacija ginekoloških malignih bolesti, a može se javiti i kao prvi simptom skrivene maligne bolesti. Unatoč tome što je antikoagulantna terapija zlatni standard u liječenju bolesnika s akutnom venskom tromboembolijom, postavljanje fi ltra šuplje vene predstavlja značajnu alternativu u bolesnika kod kojih je antikoagulantna tera pija kontraindicirana ili neučinkovita. U radu je prikazan slučaj 69-godišnje bolesnice s edemom lijeve noge zbog duboke venske tromboze koja je nastala kao prvi simptom karcinoma jajnika. Analizirana je medicinska literatura i opisano naše iskustvo s postavljanjem fi ltra šuplje vene u svrhu sprječavanja moguće plućne embolije u bolesnice s karcinomom jajnika

Estimation of uncertainty of trypsin inhibitor activity measurement in legume crops

Irradiation of legume seeds has emerged as an attractive alternative compared to conventional chemical treatments in seed production. Irradiation is also used for the decontamination of food and feed in order to increase the shelf-life of fresh and dry food materials. The effects of irradiation on nutritive and anti-nutritive factors such as trypsin inhibitors are usually reported together with the measurements obtained by using the quantitative analytical methods. The objective of this study was to measure trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) of common bean cultivar Oplenac using the microtiter plate method and to identify factors that contribute to the uncertainty of TIA measurement according to the current Guide to the Expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM). Dominant sources of uncertainty of TIA measurement were: absorbance measurements of sample and positive control reaction mixtures and preparation of the final sample solution using a graduated cylinder (V4). Absorbance measurement of sample reaction mixtures took 37.8% of the overall measurement uncertainty. Preparation of the final sample solution using a graduated cylinder (V4) and absorbance measurement of positive control reaction mixture contributed to the overall uncertainty with 35.1% and 15.8%, respectively. Acquired insight into factors that contribute to the uncertainty of TIA measurement gives directions for the improvement of TIA testing methods and TIA results management

Incidence and clinical significance of post-dural puncture headache in young orthopaedic patients and parturients

Background and Aims: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a complication of spinal anaesthesia, influenced mostly by patient’s age, spinal needle size and design and, possibly, female gender. The purpose of this prospective observational study was to compare the frequency and clinical significance of PDPH in two patient groups at high risk for the development of PDPH, namely young parturients and orthopaedic patients, using 26-G and 27-G Quincke needles. Patients and Methods: The study included 56 parturients undergoing Caesarean section and 59 orthopaedic patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, who received standard spinal anaesthesia using 26-G or 27-G Quincke needles. All patients were less than 40 years of age. The patients were visited on postoperative days 1, 2, and 4 or contacted by telephone and evaluated for the presence, characteristics and severity of headache, backache and other possible complications. Only posture dependent headache was regarded as PDPH with severity graded as mild, moderate and severe. Patient satisfaction was assessed by theirwillingness to have spinal anaesthesia in the future. Results: Orthopaedic patients were predominantly male (81.4%) and significantly younger than parturients (27.8±5.5 vs. 33.7±4.7 years, P<0.0001). Both groups had similar use of 26-G and 27-G needles, one attempt success rate at dural puncture, and high quality of spinal block. The incidence of PDPH in parturients was 14.3% and in orthopaedic patients 13.6%, which was not significantly different. Also, the severity of PDPH was similar, with mild headache in four out of eight PDPH patients in each group. The rate was similar with 26-G and 27-G needles. No patient required an epidural blood patch. Both orthopaedic patients and parturients expressed high satisfaction rate with spinal anaesthesia (96.6% and 94.6%, respectively). Conclusion: The rate of PDPH was similar in young orthopaedic patients and parturients but higher than in the literature. Low rate of severe headache, no need for epidural blood patch, and high patient satisfaction with spinal anaesthesia, make 26-G and 27-G Quincke needles an acceptable technique where pencil point needles are not available

Synthesis and characterization of spider silk calcite composite

Spider silk poses excellent mechanical properties, tenacity and elasticity and it has been used as a template for calcite mineralization to improve load bearing strength of osteoconductive calcite. The samples were obtained by mimicking biomineralization for five days in order to follow formation and growth of calcite on the surface of spider silk. Crystal phase was detected by XRD and FTIR spectroscopy. Microstructure, crystal size and its morphology were studied by means of FESEM. After two days of processing, pure calcite phase was obtained, and a size of the formed crystals increased with prolongation of biomineralization

Sinteza vlakana magnezijum-oksida i magnezijum-hidroksida korišćenjem paukove mreže kao matrice

Spider silk fibers, collected from Pholcus Phalangioides spider were used as a template for obtaining magnesium oxide (MgO, periclase) as well as magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2, brucite) fibers. Magnesium oxide fibers were obtained in a simple manner by heat induced decomposition of magnesium salt (MgCl2) in the presence of the spider silk fibers, while magnesium hydroxidefibers were synthesized by hydration of MgO fibers at 50 °C, 70°C and 90 °C, for 48 and 96 h. According to Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dimensions of spider silk fibers determined the dimension of synthesized MgO fibers, while for Mg(OH)2 fibers, the average diameter was increased with prolonging the hydration period. The surface of Mg(OH)2 fibers was noticed to be covered with brucite in a form of plates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that MgO fibers were single-phased (the pure magnesium oxide fibers were obtained), while Mg(OH)2 fibers were two- or single-phased brucite depending on incubation period, and/or incubation temperature.Vlakna paukove mreže sakupljena od Pholcus phalangioides pauka korišćena su kao matrica za dobijanje vlakana magnezijum oksida (MgO, periklas) i magnezijum-hidroksida (Mg(OH)2, brucit). Vlakna magnezijum oksida jednostavno su dobijena termičkim razlaganjem soli magnezijuma (MgCl2) u prisustvu vlakana paukove mreže, dok su vlakna magnezijum hidroksida sintetisana hidratacijom MgO vlakana na temperaturama: 50, 70 i 90 °C u trajanju od 48 i 96 h. Na osnovu rezultata skenirajuće elektronske mikroskopije (SEM), veličina sintetisanih MgO vlakana bila je određena dimenzijama vlakana pauka, dok je za Mg(OH)2 vlakna prosečan dijametar rastao sa produženjem perioda hidratacije. Na površini Mg(OH)2 vlakana uočeni su tabličasti kristali brucita. Difrakcija X zraka (XRD) pokazala je da su vlakna periklasa jednofazna (dobijen je čist magnezijum-oksid), dok su brucitna vlakna bila dvofazna ili jednofazna, u zavisnosti od inkubacionog perioda i/ili teperature na kojoj je vršena inkubacija
