Survival at the threshold of viability: A nationwide survey of the opinions and attitudes of physicians in a developing country
No full textBackground To explore physicians' opinions and attitudes regarding resuscitation of extremely premature infants (EPIs) in a developing country with suboptimal resources. Methods A survey was developed, revised, and pilot-tested. All 964 paediatricians registered in the Lebanese Order of Physicians were contacted; physicians involved in resuscitation of EPIs were eligible. Between February and April of 2009, anonymous surveys were mailed to consenting participants. Results Three hundred twenty-eight eligible physicians agreed to participate. One hundred twenty (36percent) returned the survey, 45.3percent of which were neonatologists. The vast majority agreed that parents would like to be informed and to participate in the resuscitation decision of an EPI. The majority of physicians considered infants at gestational age of ≤25 weeks (78percent) or ≤800 g (89percent) as non-viable. Physician's age, years of practice, and practising neonatal intensive care unit level were significantly associated with the choice of birthweight at which infants were considered non-viable. Conclusions The majority of surveyed physicians consider infants at gestational age less than or equal to 25 weeks gestation or 800 g at birth as non-viable, and therefore would not attempt their resuscitation. Factors influencing threshold of viability in developing countries need to be addressed and explored further. © 2014 John Wiley and Sons Ltd.al-Mohdzar S A, 1993, Asia Oceania J Obstet Gynaecol, V19, P401; Ananth CV, 2005, OBSTET GYNECOL, V105, P1084, DOI 10.1097-01.AOG.0000158124.96300.c7; Atasay B, 2003, TURKISH J PEDIATR, V45, P283; Beaino G, 2011, ACTA PAEDIATR, V100, P370, DOI 10.1111-j.1651-2227.2010.02064.x; Byrne S, 2006, CLIN PERINATOL, V33, P197, DOI 10.1016-j.clp.2005.11.008; da Costa DE, 2002, ARCH DIS CHILD, V86, P115; Doron MW, 1998, PEDIATRICS, V102, P574, DOI 10.1542-peds.102.3.574; Doyle LW, 2004, EARLY HUM DEV, V80, P103, DOI 10.1016-j.earlhumdev.2004.05.009; Duffy D, 2011, ACTA PAEDIATR, V100, P42, DOI 10.1111-j.1651-2227.2010.01975.x; Hakansson S, 2004, PEDIATRICS, V114, P58, DOI 10.1542-peds.114.1.58; Higgins RD, 2005, PEDIATRICS, V115, P1392, DOI 10.1542-peds.2004-1989; Kattwinkel J., 2006, TXB NEONATAL RESUSCI; Laventhal N, 2011, PEDIATRICS, V127, pE1221, DOI 10.1542-peds.2010-1031; Lavin JP, 2006, PEDIATRICS, V118, pS169, DOI 10.1542-peds.2006-0913O; Lavoie Pascal M, 2007, J Obstet Gynaecol Can, V29, P719; Lemons JA, 2001, PEDIATRICS, V107, part. no., DOI 10.1542-peds.107.1.e1; Lucey JF, 2004, PEDIATRICS, V113, P1559, DOI 10.1542-peds.113.6.1559; Manley BJ, 2010, PEDIATRICS, V125, pE559, DOI 10.1542-peds.2009-1307; Martinez AM, 2005, J PAEDIATR CHILD H, V41, P209, DOI 10.1111-j.1440-1754.2005.00589.x; McAdams RM, 2012, J HEALTH POPUL NUTR, V30, P346; Morse SB, 2000, PEDIATRICS, V105, P1046, DOI 10.1542-peds.105.5.1046; Nassar AH, 2009, INT J GYNECOL OBSTET, V104, P144, DOI 10.1016-j.ijgo.2008.09.008; Norup M, 1998, ACTA PAEDIATR, V87, P896, DOI 10.1080-080352598750013707; Nuthalapaty F, 2007, J MATERN-FETAL NEO M, V20, P293, DOI 10.1080-14767050701198821; Peerzada JM, 2006, PEDIATRICS, V117, P1988, DOI 10.1542-peds.2005-1885; Peerzada JM, 2004, J PEDIATR, V145, P492, DOI 10.1016-j.jpeds.2004.06.018; Pignotti MS, 2008, PEDIATRICS, V121, pE193, DOI 10.1542-peds.2007-0513; Rebagliato M, 2000, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V284, P2451, DOI 10.1001-jama.284.19.2451; Saigal S, 1999, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V281, P1991, DOI 10.1001-jama.281.21.1991; Schenker JG, 2003, CLIN PERINATOL, V30, P45, DOI 10.1016-S0095-5108(02)00081-7; Singh J, 2007, PEDIATRICS, V120, P519, DOI 10.1542-peds.2006-2966; Tucker J, 2004, BRIT MED J, V329, P675, DOI 10.1136-bmj.329.7467.675; Tyson JE, 2008, NEW ENGL J MED, V358, P1672, DOI 10.1056-NEJMoa073059; Verhagen AAE, 2010, J PEDIATR-US, V156, P33, DOI 10.1016-j.jpeds.2009.07.019; Yu VYH, 2005, CROAT MED J, V46, P74411

241-SY Tank Farm Construction Extent of Condition Review for Tank Integrity
No full textThis report provides the results of an extent of condition construction history review for tanks 241-SY-101, 241-SY-102, and 241-SY-103. The construction history of the 241-SY tank farm has been reviewed to identify issues similar to those experienced during tank 241-AY-102 construction. Those issues and others impacting integrity are discussed based on information found in available construction records, using tank 241-AY-102 as the comparison benchmark. In the 241-SY tank farm, the third DST farm constructed, refractory quality and stress relief were improved, while similar tank and liner fabrication issues remained

Hanford Double-Shell Tank Extent-of-Condition Construction Review - 14174
No full textDuring routine visual inspections of Hanford double-shell waste tank 241-AY-102 (AY-102), anomalies were identified on the annulus floor which resulted in further evaluations. Following a formal leak assessment in October 2012, Washington River Protection Solutions, LLC (WRPS) determined that the primary tank of AY-102 was leaking. The formal leak assessment, documented in RPP-ASMT-53793,Tank 241-AY-102 Leak Assessment Report, identified first-of-a-kind construction difficulties and trial-and-error repairs as major contributing factors to tank failure. To determine if improvements in double-shell tank (DST) construction occurred after construction of tank AY-102, a detailed review and evaluation of historical construction records were performed for the first three DST tank farms constructed, which included tanks 241-AY-101, 241-AZ-101, 241-AZ-102, 241-SY-101, 241-SY-102, and 241-SY-103. The review for these six tanks involved research and review of dozens of boxes of historical project documentation. These reviews form a basis to better understand the current condition of the three oldest Hanford DST farms. They provide a basis for changes to the current tank inspection program and also provide valuable insight into future tank use decisions. If new tanks are constructed in the future, these reviews provide valuable �lessons-learned� information about expected difficulties as well as construction practices and techniques that are likely to be successful
Genomic Footprints of Selective Sweeps from Metabolic Resistance to Pyrethroids in African Malaria Vectors Are Driven by Scale up of Insecticide-Based Vector Control.
No full textInsecticide resistance in mosquito populations threatens recent successes in malaria prevention. Elucidating patterns of genetic structure in malaria vectors to predict the speed and direction of the spread of resistance is essential to get ahead of the 'resistance curve' and to avert a public health catastrophe. Here, applying a combination of microsatellite analysis, whole genome sequencing and targeted sequencing of a resistance locus, we elucidated the continent-wide population structure of a major African malaria vector, Anopheles funestus. We identified a major selective sweep in a genomic region controlling cytochrome P450-based metabolic resistance conferring high resistance to pyrethroids. This selective sweep occurred since 2002, likely as a direct consequence of scaled up vector control as revealed by whole genome and fine-scale sequencing of pre- and post-intervention populations. Fine-scaled analysis of the pyrethroid resistance locus revealed that a resistance-associated allele of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP6P9a has swept through southern Africa to near fixation, in contrast to high polymorphism levels before interventions, conferring high levels of pyrethroid resistance linked to control failure. Population structure analysis revealed a barrier to gene flow between southern Africa and other areas, which may prevent or slow the spread of the southern mechanism of pyrethroid resistance to other regions. By identifying a genetic signature of pyrethroid-based interventions, we have demonstrated the intense selective pressure that control interventions exert on mosquito populations. If this level of selection and spread of resistance continues unabated, our ability to control malaria with current interventions will be compromised
