The visual and auditory connection between the doctor and the patient allowed good communication, but the limitation of the clinical examination remained a problem. Tele-echography complements tele-consults and brings valuable information in many specialties. Our study is conducted on data obtained by organizing the first network of telemedicine with tele-echography in the country. The ultrasound examinations targeted only the abdomen, but the structure also allows teleechocardiography as well as the extension to other services at distance. The purpose of the study is to objectively assess the ability of tele-echography to complete the teleconsultation with information on which we can rely. The national tele-echography network was created by distributing 40 tele-echographs in the country, one in each county, in the family doctors' offices. The obtained data were analyzed statistically. The study shows that tele-echography can be performed with very good accuracy in synchronous mode but low in asynchronous mode, which required re-examination or resumption of examination in the reference medical center. The widespread use of tele-echography associated with teleconsultations can have favorable consequences on the medical act, the quality of life of the patients and the doctors, and society by reducing pollution and urban agglomerations.","PeriodicalId":21298,"journal":{"name":"Romanian Journal of Military Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46067204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Being associated with stress, competitiveness, and various social influences, smoking can have detrimental effects on self-esteem and self-efficacy and may create a vicious cycle that may contribute to student’s well-being and academic performance outcomes. We aimed to investigate the relationship between self-esteem, self-efficacy, and smoking habits among medical students and their sociodemographic correlates. Methods: A cross-sectional study on 456 medical students was conducted via an online survey using structured questionnaires on socio-demographic characteristics, smoking habits, nicotine dependence, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. Results: The prevalence of smoking was 31.1% The scores of self-esteem and self-efficacy were positively correlated with smoking habits (W1=0.957, W2=0.975, P<0.05). Students presented rather low smoking addiction with male students having slightly higher scores than female students on self-esteem and self-efficacy, military students had higher self-esteem scores than civilians with physical activity having a positive correlation with non-smoking behavior. Conclusion: According to our results, selfesteem and self-efficacy were slightly positively correlated with smoking habits. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant association between other social factors and smoking. Our results may develop a theoretical basis for medical students’ psychological variables studying for further implementation of university educational programs and preventive interventions empowering students towards an overall better quality of life, addressing, among others, smoking behaviors.\"","PeriodicalId":21298,"journal":{"name":"Romanian Journal of Military Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45392889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Two-photon excitation (TPE) microscopy techniques are non-linear optical imaging methods that are gaining momentum in the investigation of fixed tissue sections, fresh tissue, or even for in vivo experiments. This method can be used for offering complementary information on the tissue architecture. We argue that using non-linear optical microscopy (which includes TPE microscopy) images collected on this category of brain tissue samples, can facilitate the interpretation of brain tumors and metastases, thus it is a solution worthy to explore. Scanning large areas of the lesions is important to avoid false-negative diagnoses because lesions are often non-uniform. Finding potential invasion sites is also restricted when using a narrow field-of-view imaging method. Results: Our study demonstrated that TPE microscopy can detect specific cellular features of cerebral tumors and metastases in good correlation with histopathological results. This approach can improve the accuracy of the cerebral tumors diagnosis and possibly other neoplasms. Conclusion: TPE microscopy is very important for future research because it could prevent the false or inadequate diagnosis of specific lesions and differentiate a primary tumor from a metastasis. The significance of the findings is attributable to cross-disciplinary cooperation and the constant use of a working standard across all of the experiments in this study.","PeriodicalId":21298,"journal":{"name":"Romanian Journal of Military Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49267327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other CTDs such as mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjogren's syndrome, and dermatomyositis may also develop PH as a complication of these severe and complex conditions, which can have a major impact on prognosis and quality of life. PH has also been reported in rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis but further studies are necessary. Several studies have shown that the 3-year survival rate for patients with systemic sclerosis-associated with pulmonary hypertension (SSc-PH) is between 31% and 52%, while the 5-year survival rate is below <50%.

For this reason, the present study aims to perform a descriptive analysis of the hospital’s internal registry data as well as to determine what percentage of patients can be expected to return to follow-up after total hip replacement. Methods: A query of the hospital’s internal registry data in the last years was performed. Patient demographics, county distribution as well as ICD-10 code usage were documented. Data standardization was performed to determine the probability and cumulative distribution of the patient’s age. The chi2 test of independence was used to assess whether there is a correlation between the patient’s gender and ICD-10 codes. Pot hoc power analysis was performed to assess the accuracy of correlation analysis. Results: Only 29.6% of the patients undergoing total hip replacement are from the county within which the hospital is located. 25% of the patients were under 60 years old.

Its significance lies in the possible complications that may arise as well as in its potential for recurrence. The treatment and prevention of recurrences of urinary lithiasis often require the intervention of several specialists: urologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, nutritionists, biochemists, etc. In the last 20 years, the treatment strategy for urinary lithiasis has changed, with minimally invasive methods replacing laparoscopic or open surgery. These are effective and have rare complications. Whichever treatment method is chosen, it may be necessary to temporarily divert the upper urinary tract by inserting double J catheters for preventive, curative, or palliative purposes. Ureteral catheters have had to be improved over time to avoid two major incidents: their migration and colonization. Various materials were used, varying the shape, size, length, guide as well as approaches. The urinary infection-urolithiasis association is frequent, without always being able to specify the cause-effect relationship. The rate of urinary colonization appears to be influenced by the presence of stent colonization as well as the time since the implant. The association of chronic diseases or emergency insertion is associated with an increased risk of urinary colonization. Complications induced by the time of the double J catheter being implanted are rare, and minor and disappear with its removal. In the case of failure to insert a double J ureteral catheter, the alternative would be to perform an ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy. Double J ureteral catheter insertion is an effective minimally invasive option in the treatment of obstructive urolithiasis. \"","PeriodicalId":21298,"journal":{"name":"Romanian Journal of Military Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45405235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
