Abstract:

AbstractExeter Cathedral Library and Archives MS 3515 (hereafter EXcl 3515), a notated missal located in Exeter Cathedral, has to date received very little scholarly attention. This neglect may be due to the absence of a liturgical kalendar and evidence of local saints in the Sanctorale. Its assignment to the thirteenth century with a generic English origin suggests that critical questions concerning provenance and dating have been overlooked. The source itself comprises four disparate sections assembled so as to create a complete liturgical cycle. Yet the parts are not as separate as hitherto believed. A comparative investigation reveals not only an Exeter provenance and a twelfth-century dating, but also a new witness to the St Denis/Corbie tradition. Research also reveals unexpected threads of liturgical continuity with the Anglo-Saxon past. As a complete pre-Sarum source of Mass prayers, chants and readings, EXcl 3515 offers a useful lens with which to view a transitional period in the development of a medieval secular liturgy in England. (By contrast, the three dominant cathedrals – Salisbury, York and Hereford – all lack notated chant sources from this period.) EXcl 3515 adds not only significant new data to the current information on secular liturgies, but also challenges accepted theories on the shaping of a distinctive English Use in southwest England.

Abstract:

Company/Institution’s achievements are decided in large part by the compensation and benefit plans. Compensation and benefits have a major role to play in the decision-making process of job seekers. Compensation involves how employees are paid, hourly or salary, and benefits involve the type of medical insurance, annual PhD allowance, annual performance incentive pay of up to a month’s salary and retirement benefits. Providing benefits to their employees is one way in which organizations typically maximize productivity in their business practices. Candidates with excellent talent and experience, which can give the much needed competitive advantage to the company, are usually attracted by the benefits that a company offers. Also, compensation and benefits could be used as a measurement tool for the effects of productivity, company growth, and success. Compensation and benefits could also impact the recruitment and retention of labor to a large extent. The allusion of the plan is for workers to believe the compensation plan is reasonable and fair (Cascio, 2010). Managers should incorporate cross-training to engage employees to excel in performing their job duties at the highest levels for the best outcome (Cascio, 2010).

Abstract:

Effect of Nitrogen Fertilization on Yield and Quality of EndiveThe aim of the experiments carried out in 2007-2008 was to assess the effect of various nitrogen doses on the growth, yield and nutritional value of two endive cultivars Cigal and Excel. The effects of two types of fertilizers were compared: that of ammonium nitrate with that of the product Entec-26. On the basis of the results obtained, it was shown that endive cv. Excel produced a marketable yield that was on average by 35.5% higher than that of the cultivar Cigal. A significantly higher marketable yield of endive was obtained by fertilizing with a single dose of the fertilizer Entec-26, particularly at the rates of 90 and 135 kg N·ha-1, and also 180 kg N·ha-1. The experiments also revealed a significant effect of the fertilization method and nitrogen application rate on the biological value of the endive cultivars under evaluation. The cultivar Excel was characterized by a higher degree of nitrate accumulation, whereas the cultivar Cigal had a higher vitamin C content, dry weight, and chlorophyll content.

Abstract:

Stuburo pažeidimai blogina žmogaus gyvenimo kokybę ir yra viena iš dažniausių slaugos problemų. Dažniausiai stuburo pažeidimus sukelia stiprūs ir greiti viso kūno judesiai. Tikslas − išanalizuoti slaugos poreikius po stuburo operacijos. Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Tyrimas atliktas vienoje Vilniaus universiteto ligoninėje 2020-2021 m. Tyrime dalyvavo 121 pacientas (61,2 proc. vyrų ir 38,8 proc. moterų) po atliktos stuburo operacijos. Tyrimui naudota anketinė apklausa. Vertinta: stuburo pažeidimų atsiradimo rizika, skausmo stiprumas, lokalizacijos vieta, judėjimas. Tyrimo duomenys apdoroti statistinės analizės SPSS Windows 26.0 ir Excel 2013 programomis. Rezultatai. Nustatyta, kad dažniausiai stuburo pažeidimų patiria žmonės, keldami sunkų daiktą (63,6 proc.), ar staigaus judesio metu (27,3 proc., n=33). Po operacijos stiprius skausmus menkų judesių metu dažnai jautė 19,0 proc. apklaustųjų, 35,5 proc. tiriamųjų dėl skausmo sutriko judėjimas, vidutinio stiprumo ir silpną skausmą pažymėjo 84,2 proc. tiriamųjų. Skausmą šlaunyse jautė 43,0 proc. tiriamųjų, sėdmenyse − 45,4 proc., dažnai pėdoje − 11,6 proc. tiriamųjų. Išvados. Didžiausią stuburo pažeidimo riziką kelia staigūs stuburo judesiai, netinkama kūno poza, keliant sunkų daiktą. Dažniausiai stebėtas slaugos poreikis − būtinybė malšinti skausmą. 3. Trečdaliui tiriamųjų po stuburo operacijos judėjimo aktyvumas sumažėjo dėl priverstinio stuburo judesių apribojimo ir laikino savarankiškumo sumažėjimo.

Abstract:

Summary Many studies report benefits of planned home births by registered midwives. In the 21st century, there are still controversial views and vivid discussions. This publication presents results from a survey on the opinion of obstetricians and midwives about home birth. An individual self-administered questionnaire was distributed among 26 obstetricians and 60 midwives from 14 maternitycare units in Central Northern Bulgaria and 93 undergraduate students in their last year of midwifery education in 6 universities in Bulgaria. The study instruments were approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the Medical University – Pleven. Data analysis was performed with Microsoft Office Excel 2016 and SPSS v.21.0. Home births were supported by 26.9% of the obstetricians, 20.0% of the midwives and 66.8% of the students. According to 65.4% of the obstetricians, 23.3% of the midwives and 15.1% of the students, midwives are not qualified enough to provide homecare services at delivery. Only 11.6% midwives and 35.5% students were confident that midwives could give adequate home birth care. This lack of support for home births in all the study groups in our survey can be attributed to organizational factors within the health system, as well as to low self-confidence of midwives and mistrust on behalf of obstetricians.

Abstract:

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is the most commonly performed surgeries in otolaryngology. Despite the evolution in surgical and anaesthetic techniques, pain and bleeding are still the most important surgical complications. This study was done to compare the pain and bleeding following tonsillectomy using monopolar and bipolar cautery techniques in our population. Methods: It was a prospective, longitudinal study done over a period of one year at Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara, Nepal. Total 45 patients who underwent tonsillectomy by either monopolar or bipolar cautery were included in the study and assessed for postoperative pain and haemorhage. The data was entered in Microsoft Excel and further analysis done by statistical package for the social sciences 16.0. The association of variables was be tested by Chi square test and p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Confidence interval was be kept at 95%. Results: Out of the 45 patients who underwent tonsillectomy, 35.5% were males and 64.5% were females. The age of patients varied from 16 to 60 years. Mean age of the patients was 27.5 years. Fourty percent of the total patients underwent tonsillectomy by monopolar cautery whereas 60% patients were operated by bipolar cautery. No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups regarding age, sex ratio, postoperative pain and bleeding. Conclusions: Both monopolar and bipolar cautery are equally effective methods of tonsillectomy in terms of postoperative pain and haemorrhage.

Abstract:

Background: Teenage pregnancy has been reported as one of the leading causes of death in adolescent girls in both developed and developing countries. In developed countries teenage pregnancies are most common in unmarried girls whereas in developing countries like India where early marriages are more common, teenage pregnancies are seen mostly in married women.Methods: In this retrospective observational study, data between January 2018 and December 2019 was studied; data was evaluated using MS excel for statistical purpose. In the present study, only pregnant women less than 20 years were included.Results: Out of 6,028 pregnant women delivered during this period, 686 i.e. 11.3% age of women were less than 20 years, 609 (88.7%) had delivery at term and the remaining 77 (11.2%) women had preterm delivery. As per this study, incidence of hypertensive disorders were 12.24%, 5.5% were associated with anemia and most of them had vaginal delivery (65.01%) including induced and instrumental; cesarean section was 35.5%. In present study, 24.1% babies were of low birth weight and 3.49% of babies were intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) babies.Conclusions: This study showed hypertensive disorders were the most common maternal complication and the incidence of vaginal delivery was higher compared to that of cesarean section, incidence of anaemia was less compared with other studies. Proper antenatal care, institutional delivery and postnatal care can reduce fetal and maternal complications in childbearing women in teenage age group.

Abstract:

Introduction: Drug-drug interaction is one of the causes of adverse drug reactions. Generally, drug-drug interaction is common in multidrug therapy. Diabetic patients, particularly due to associated comorbidities tend to have various drug-drug interactions due to the effect of multiple drugs. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of drug-drug interactions in diabetic patients. Methods: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study that was conducted among previously diagnosed diabetic patients visiting the outpatient department of medicine at a tertiary care hospital between March 2021 and August 2021. Ethical approval was taken from the institutional review committee (Ref no: 030-076/077). Data was collected from diabetic patients presenting to the outpatient department of medicine using a preformed self-constructed questionnaire. Convenient sampling was done. Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21 and Microsoft Excel were used for data analysis. Point estimate at 95% confidence interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Results: The prevalence of drug-drug interaction between hypoglycemic and non-hypoglycemic medication was 56 (44.1%) (35.5-52.7 at 95% Confidence Interval) of the patients out of which at least one drug-drug interaction was seen in 48 (37.8%) of the patients. Conclusions: Our study showed the prevalence of drug-drug interactions in diabetic patients to be higher than other studies done in similar settings. Based on the severity, we observed two types of drug-drug interactions; close monitoring drug-drug interactions and minor drug-drug interactions.

Abstract:

Introduction: Ureteric calculi are lying at any point of ureter from the pelvic ureteric junction to the vesicoureteral junction. If left untreated, ureteropelvic junction obstruction can lead to hydronephrosis. With the improved availability of computed tomography and ultrasound scanning, hydronephrosis is being diagnosed more frequently. The main aim of this study is to find out the prevalence of moderate Hydronephrosis among ureteral calculus on ultrasonography imaging in a tertiary care center of Nepal. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 110 acute ureteral calculus cases at Radiodiagnosis and Imaging Department of Chitwan Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur from 15th August 2020 to 15th May 2021. The ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of same institution. Convenient sampling technique was used to select the participant. . The collected data was entered in excel 16 and analysed in Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was done and frequency and percentage were calculated Results: Out of the 110 cases of acute ureteral calculus, 31 (28.2%) (19.79-36.60 at 95% Confidence Interval) has moderate hydronephrosis in the ultrasonographic imaging. The mean age of participants was 31.61±8.51 years and male to female ratio was 1.97:1. Vesicoureteric junction was the most common site for ureteric calculus 39 (35.5%). Conclusions: The ultrasound is an easy method to be applied, and a fast one to help and diagnose obstructive hydronephrosis. The main causes of hydronephrosis are kidney stones, followed by ureteral stones, with a moderate degree of hydronephrosis.

Patients et méthodes : Une étude transversale et descriptive, de juin 2016 à février 2017, a inclus les patients suivis pour une arthrose primitive quel qu’en soit la localisation aux services de Médecine Interne de l’Hôpital Aristide Le Dantec et de l’Hôpital Principal de Dakar. Les données sociodémographiques, les aspects de l’arthrose, les mesures anthropométriques et les comorbidités ont été recueillis et analysés à l’aide du logiciel Sphinx Plus2 Excel. Résultats : Cent quatorze patients ont été inclus ; leur âge moyen était de 60,16 ans (extrêmes de 39 et de 94 ans) avec un sex-ratio de 0,16 (98 femmes). La localisation de l’arthrose était le genou (71,9 %), le rachis (50 %), l’épaule (5 %), la hanche (4 %), les pieds (3 %) et les mains (3 %). L’IMC moyen était de 28,97 Kg/m2 avec 30,7 % des patients en surpoids et 33,1 % en obésité. L’obésité était notée chez 47 % des patients atteints de gonarthrose et 35,5 % de lombarthrose. L’obésité abdominale concernait 64 % des femmes et 30 % des hommes. L’hypertension artérielle, le diabète et l’hypercholes-térolémie étaient observés respectivement chez 42, 10 et 6 % des patients. Conclusion : la surcharge pondérale, l’obésité et les autres facteurs de risque cardiovasculaires sont des situations fréquentes chez les patients arthrosiques vus dans les services de Médecine Interne au Sénégal. Ces constatations rappellent l’importance des mesures hygiéno-diététiques dans la prise en charge et la prévention de l’arthrose.

Abstract:

BackgroundCertain personality traits are found in persons with high risk for schizophrenia onset and therefore it could be used as diagnostic marker.ObjectivesTo analyze correlations between personality traits and cognitive functions on schizophrenia onset and its course and social adaptation.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study conducted in Riga center of psychiatry and narcology, Latvia. Study consisted of two parts. In the first part, data on first presentation schizophrenia patients hospitalized in 2006 was collected from medical records. Patients without completed MMPI, Schulte table; visual memory and 10 words recall tests were excluded from study group. The Second part of the study consisted of participant interviews that were held in early 2016 acquiring demographic data and each participant completed a Sheehan disability scale (SDS). Microsoft Excel 2016 and SPSSv22 were used for data operation.ResultsStudy group consisted of 11 males and 20 females (35.5%/64.5%). Mean age of participants was 37 years (IQR = 48–33), but mean age at onset of first schizophrenia symptoms was 27 years (IQR = 37–21). 68% (n = 21) of participants had schizoid personality traits as per MMPI and they had higher results on all SDS subscales. There was a negative correlation between the SDS score in the first section with the occupational level in 2006 (P = 0.065) and 2016 (P = 0.040) and marital status in 2016 (P = 0.040) in those with psychopathy scale.ConclusionThe hypothesis that schizoid personality traits are a leading factor in the onset of schizophrenia, have not been proven. Schizophrenia patients with psychopathic personality traits are likely to have better social adaptation.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

Summary: Physical activity is especially important during childhood and adolescence. As part of the support of health and physical activity in Slovakia, data on the physical activity of pupils of selected primary schools were collected within the framework of the National Action Plan for the Support of Physical Activity for the years 2017 - 2020. Material and methods: Data collection took place in the whole territory of Slovakia in the months of March - June 2019 using the questionnaire method through the professionals of the departments of health support and health education in regional public health institutes in the Slovak Republic. A structured questionnaire focused on basic lifestyle analysis (questions on well-being, health, physical activity, nutrition and drinking regime, substance and non-substance addictions) was used as a research method. Excel was used to insert and process the answers obtained by the respondents from the questionnaires. Results: The highest share of respondents rated their physical condition as average (51.2%). 23.4% of respondents stated above-average condition. The majority of respondents reported performing various physical activities daily or almost daily (35.9%) and 3-5 times a week (31.6%). The average duration of their physical activities from 1 hour to 2 hours was stated by 40.1% of respondents. The highest share of respondents (35.5%) stated shortness of breath and weak sweating as the intensity of their physical activities. 44.1% of respondents were registered athletes, 47.4% stated recreational sports in their free time and 8.5% of respondents did not play sports. Conclusion: Most pupils in the 8th grade of the monitored primary schools engaged in some form of physical activity. They engage in physical activity as registered athletes or as part of their leisure activities. Promoting physical activity among children and adolescents thus continues to play an important role in promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract:

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Nigerian men and worldwide. Some comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases have been investigated as potential risk factors for developing PCa. Hypertension and Type2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are common with the middle age and elderly and could be a conundrum during treatment. Aims and Objectives: This study highlights the associated comorbidities with prostate and describes the relationship between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension with prostate cancer among southern Nigerian men. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study carried out over ten years ago on all patients with histologically confirmed prostate cancer at the University of Port Harcourt and two other private urology hospitals from where the study population was evaluated. The folders were retrieved and their age, prostate-specific antigen levels, Gleason grade, comorbidities, and treatment received were analyzed. Patients with incomplete data were excluded from the study. The data were collated using Microsoft excel 2020. Data collected were then analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: There were a hundred and fifty-two patients with histologically confirmed PCa. Sixty-four were reported with a known Gleason score fifty-four (35.5%) of the patients had no associated comorbidity. Hypertension was the commonest associated comorbidity seen in sixty-one (40.1%) of the patients, followed by Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in nineteen (12.5%). The poorly differentiated cancers were commonest among the patients with hypertension, Type 2 DM, and patients with both. There was no association between Type 2 DM, hypertension, and Gleason’s score. Conclusion: Diabetes and hypertension are still the commonest comorbidities associated with Prostate cancer. There is no statistically significant association was found between Gleason’s score, diabetes, and hypertension in patients with prostate cancer.

Abstract:

Background. Sandalwood oil is one of the most valuable raw materials worldwide. As a highly valued product, it has its own regulations based on the ISO 3518 standard, which clearly informs producers, distributors, and consumers of the requirements to be met. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of products called sandalwood oil based on the information provided by the manufacturer of the oils on Polish, German, and English websites. Methods. A Google search was utilized to collect data on sandalwood oil offered by producers and distributors in Polish and foreign markets. Information from 50 websites in each of the aforementioned languages, including the description of sandalwood oil properties on websites, method for using it, safety limitations, and presence of a product description consistent with the INCI recommendations, was gathered using Microsoft Excel software and was analyzed. The information that enabled us to estimate the quality of the oils was the botanical name of the oil-bearing plant and the price. Good-quality oils were considered to be oils with the botanical name Santalum album in the description and with a price not considerably less than the price of white sandalwood oils sold by reliable distributors who control the quality of the oils by chromatography. Ultimately, the lower price limit for one milliliter of the oil was established as PLN 21. Results and Conclusions. Good-quality sandalwood oils derived from the Santalum album plant at a price equal to or greater than the chromatographically tested items amounted to a negligible percentage of products sold online. Without knowing the botanical name of the essential oil plant and the price range of unadulterated sandalwood oil, the likelihood of buying a reliable product is low on all of the analyzed websites, with the lowest probability being observed on the Polish websites.

Abstract:

Relevance. The number of elderly patients with acute cholecystitis is constantly increasing, in spite of the success achieved in the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The possibilities for radical treatment of patients with high operational anesthesia risk are substantially limited. The aim of the study was to conduct comparative analysis of the quality of life of patients after transcutaneous-transhepaticmicrocholecystostomy and traditional cholecystostomy with thermal mucoclasia of the gallbladder. Materials and methods. The quality of life of 31 patients with high operational anesthesia risk following transcutaneous-transhepaticmicrocholecystostomy (TTMC) and traditional cholecystostomy with thermal mucoclasia of the gallbladder (TCTMG), was studied. All patients were divided into two groups: the first group consisted of 20 (64.5%) patients who underwent TTMC, the second one included 11 (35.5%) patients who underwent TCTMG. Quality of life of patients was studied with the help of the questionnaire using the SF-36 Health Status Survey 4 months after TTMC or TCTMG. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the program Microsoft Office Excel -2013. Results and its discussion. The physical component of health (physical functioning, role functioning due to physical condition, pain intensity, general health) was 64.25% higher in patients of Group II than in patients of Group I (p = 0.001), and the psychological Health component (mental health, role functioning due to emotional state, social functioning, vital activity) was also (68.05%) higher in Group II (p = 0.004). Conclusions. The use of the method of thermal mucoclasia of the gallbladder in patients with high operational anesthesia risk allows to achieve higher quality indices compared to patients who underwent TTMC, since after demucotization of the gallbladder cavity it is obliterated due to hyperplasia of the connective tissue of the lamina propria or submucosa, thereby finally solving the problem of acute cholecystitis in this category of patients.

Abstract:

Background: Urinary tract infection is defined as bacteriuria along with urinary symptoms. It is one of the most common bacterial infections in humans and a major cause of morbidity. UTI has become difficult to treat because of appearance of pathogens with increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents. The objective of this study was to determine the bacteriological profile of pathogens responsible for urinary tract infection and to assess the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the causative uropathogens.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed at the hospital of Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences, Kulasekharam during January 1, 2016 to December 12, 2016. Institutional ethical committee clearance was obtained. We surveyed 628 patients, who had clinical manifestations of UTI. Urine specimens were cultured for isolation of the microbial agents of UTI. The isolated bacteria were identified using biochemical tests. Data was entered in Microsoft Excel Version 2016.Statistical analysis was done using SPSS TRIAL VERSION 21C.Results: The commonest organism isolated overall was extended spectrum beta lactamase positive E. coli (35.5%) followed by extended spectrum beta lactamase negative E. coli and Enterococcus. Females (68.63%) were mostly affected than males in our study. The people in the age group of 41-60 years are found to be more (48.46%) affected than the people of other age groups. The most sensitive oral antibiotic to almost all organisms in our study is Nitrofurantoin followed by Cotrimoxazole and Norfloxacin and among parenteral antibiotics, Amikacin stands first followed by Piperacillin-Tazobactam and Gentamicin. Apart from the above antibiotics, Klebsiellapnemoniae also shows good response to Cefotaxime (96.15%) and Cefipime (96.15%) and Aztreonam (92.3%).Conclusions: From our study, it is observed that the most common causative organism for Urinary tract infection is found to be extended spectrum beta lactamase positive E. coli followed by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase negative E. coli and Enterococcus. The current status of sensitivity of common organism rests mainly on Nitrofurantoin (oral) and Amikacin, Piperacillin-Tazobactam (parenteral).

Abstract:

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) may be asymptomatic at an early stage and may run an indolent course that requires minimal or no treatment. Early diagnosis through screening reduces the rate of advanced diseases. Whereas, in the western countries where screening is more prevalent, many presents early with a chance for curative treatment. In Africa, late presentation is often the case with palliative treatment sadly the only choice. Objective: To evaluate the associated complications in patients with prostate cancer and assess the Gleason’s grade as a risk factor for complications observed in patients with prostate cancer, in Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria. Method and Methodology: This was a retrospective study carried out over ten years, between January 2011 and December 2020. All patients with histologically confirmed prostate cancer who presented to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Sophia clinic, and Rosivylle clinic were evaluated. The folders were retrieved and their age, presenting complaints, skeletal survey, and biopsy reports were evaluated. Patients with incomplete records were excluded from the study. These data were collated using Microsoft Excel 2016 version and they were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: There were 335 patients with PCa with a mean age of 68.71year. The commonest complication was urinary symptoms observed in 192 with urine retention 119(35.5%) and nephropathy 73(21.8%). The spine was the commonest site of bone spread observed in 160(47.8%) followed by the femur 62(18.5%). Anaemia was the next common. There was an association between age, presence of urinary symptoms, and bone involvement with the Gleason’s Grade. However, there was a strong association of the overall presence of complications with Gleason’s score. Conclusion: Men with prostate cancer tend to present with advanced disease in Port Harcourt. The most common presentation was lower urinary tract symptoms followed by low back pain. Complications are associated with high Gleason’s grade cancers. Screening may aid in early diagnosis and cure of the disease especially for men of African descent.

Abstract:

Background: HIV co-infection with hepatitis B (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) is common, largely due to shared routes of transmission, but paucity of data exists for long term treatment outcomes of HIV infected patients, and those co-infected with HBV and HCV despite the high burden in Nigeria. The aim of study was to describe the longterm treatment outcomes in HIV infected Nigerians and to assess the effect of HBV and HCV co-infections on longterm response to antiretroviral therapy (ART).Methodology: This was a retrospective study of HIV infected adults (> 18 years old) consecutively initiating ART between July 2004 and December 2007, who were followed up for 7 years (2011 and 2014). HBV and HCV infections were diagnosed by detection of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and HCV antibody (HCVAb) respectively. HIV viral load and CD4 count were monitored 3-monthly after initiating ART, and treatment outcomes based on these were compared between patients with HIV mono-infection, HIV/HBV, HIV/HCV and HIV/HBV/HCV co-infections. Clinical and laboratory data of the patients were abstracted from the medical databases, FileMaker Pro, v 10, entered into Microsoft Excel, and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0.Results: A total of 2,800 adults were evaluated (median age of 35.5 years; 64.2% female), of whom 197 (7.0%) were co-infected with HBV, 53 (1.9%) with HCV, and 15 (0.5%) with HBV and HCV. During the 7-year period, 369 (13.2%) patients were lost to follow up. Immune reconstitution, measured by CD4 recovery, was lower in both HBV and HCV co-infections compared to HIV mono-infection, but this was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Median baseline HIV viral load was 4.63 log copies/ml for all groups, which decreased to undetectable level at a median time of 6 months and remained so for the study duration.Conclusion: This study revealed a higher virologic failure among HIV/HCV co-infected group compared to other groups. No immunological difference in ART treatment outcomes between HIV mono-infected and those co-infected with HBV and HCV after 7-year follow-up. Gradual rise in CD4 was found to be an immunological evidence of the body’s recovery from HIV, buttressed by the drop in viral load over the 7-year period. Keywords: ART, HIV, HBV, HCV co-infection, long term outcomes English title: Résultats à long terme du traitement antirétroviral hautement actif chez les Nigérians infectés par le VIH et ceux co-infectés par les virus des hépatites B et C Contexte: La co-infection par le VIH avec l'hépatite B (VHB) et/ou le virus de l'hépatite C (VHC) est courante, engrande partie en raison des voies de transmission partagées, mais il existe peu de données sur les résultats dutraitement à long terme des patients infectés par le VIH, et ceux co -infectés par le VHB et le VHC malgré le fardeau élevé au Nigéria. Le but de l'étude était de décrire les résultats du traitement à long terme chez les Nigérians infectés par le VIH et d'évaluer l'effet des co-infections par le VHB et le VHC sur la réponse à long terme au traitement antirétroviral (TAR).Méthodologie: Il s'agissait d'une étude rétrospective sur des adultes infectés par le VIH (>18 ans) ayant commencé un traitement antirétroviral consécutivement entre juillet 2004 et décembre 2007, suivis pendant 7 ans (2011 et 2014). Les infections par le VHB et le VHC ont été diagnostiquées par détection de l'antigène de surface sérique de l'hépatite B (AgHBs) et des anticorps anti-VHC (HCVAb) respectivement. La charge virale du VIH et la numération des CD4 ont été surveillées tous les trois mois après le début du TAR, et les résultats du traitement basés sur ceuxci ont été comparés entre les patients atteints de mono-infection VIH, VIH/VHB, VIH/VHC et VIH/VHB/VHC. Les données cliniques et de laboratoire des patients ont été extraites des bases de données médicales, FileMaker Pro, v 10, saisies dans Microsoft Excel et analysées à l'aide de SPSS version 20.0.Résultats: Un total de 2800 adultes ont été évalués (âge médian de 35,5 ans; 64,2% de femmes), dont 197 (7,0%) étaient co-infectés par le VHB, 53 (1,9%) par le VHC et 15 (0,5%) par le VHB et VHC. Au cours de la période de 7 ans, 369 (13,2%) patients ont été perdus de vue. La reconstitution immunitaire, mesurée par la récupération des CD4, était plus faible dans les co-infections par le VHB et le VHC que dans la mono-infection par le VIH, mais cela n'était pas statistiquement significatif (p>0,05). La charge virale VIH de base médiane était de 4,63 log copies / ml pour tous les groupes, ce qui a diminué à un niveau indétectable à une période médiane de 6 mois et le reste pendant toute la durée de l'étude.Conclusion: Cette étude a révélé un échec virologique plus élevé parmi le groupe co-infecté par le VIH / VHC par rapport aux autres groupes. Aucune différence immunologique dans les résultats du traitement TAR entre le VIH mono-infecté et ceux co-infectés par le VHB et le VHC après un suivi de 7 ans. L’augmentation progressive des CD4 s’est avérée être une preuve immunologique de la guérison du corps du VIH, étayée par la baisse de la charge virale au cours de la période de 7 ans.

Abstract:

Introduction. TUrolithiasis is a widespread disease. In 2019 year 889,891 cases of this disease detected in Russia, and the increase in morbidity since 2005 was 35.5%. The share of urolithiasis accounts for up to 50-60% of patients in urological hospitals, often hospitalized for emergency indications. At the same time, there are no specialized questionnaires aimed at identifying risk factors for urolithiasis. The purpose of the work: to study the use of questionnaires for the timely detection of urinary tract stones. Materials and methods. Based on the men's health cabinet of the City hospital No. 1» Cheboksary (Republic of Chuvashia) in 2020-2021, a survey of 700 men aged 40 to 80 years conducted. To form risk groups, a specially designed questionnaire used to identify stones of the urinary system. According to the sum of the Questionnaire scores, 2 groups of patients were formed: low risk (0-1 point) and high risk (2-8 points). To validate the Questionnaire, all respondents, regardless of the amount of points, underwent ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder, and patients with detected stones larger than 3 mm and MSCT. Statistical processing of the received material carried out using the computer program Statistics 10.0 and the Microsoft Excel application software package. Results. According to the sum of the Questionnaire scores, 2 groups of patients were formed: low risk (0-1 point) and high risk (2-8 points). Out of 700 respondents, 54 respondents with kidney stones identified: 11 in the low-risk group and 43 in the high-risk group. The total prevalence of urolithiasis in the studied population was 7.7%. With an increase for points, a progressive increase in the average size of concretions from 3.1 mm to 29 mm noted. The developed method of screening urolithiasis by means of a questionnaire has good indicators of sensitivity and specificity: 76.63% and 98.30%, respectively. Conclusion. Urolithiasis screening based on a combined approach using questionnaires and ultrasound can become a simple and affordable method for active detection of urolithiasis, formation and stratification of risk groups. Further research is required to objectify the data.

Abstract:

Objectives: To investigate the clinical presentation of patients with extradural spinal tumours and establish the factors that determined the treatment they received and outline the outcomes of that treatment at the University Teaching Hospital between January 2013 and December 2016. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study of the presentation, management and short- term outcome of extradural spinal tumours at the University Teaching Hospital. A questionnaire was used to obtain data from patients' hospital records. Data was analysed using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25 software. Results: Of the 62 patients in the study,34 were female and 28 male. The age range was 14 to 87 years, with a mean of 55.03. Backache (93.8%), Limb weakness (91.9%), loss of sensation (50%), urine and stool incontinence (43.5% and 41.9% respectively), back deformity (11.3%), night pain (85.5%), weight loss(67.7%), poor appetite (61.3%), fever (35.5%) and night sweats(29%) were common symptoms. Sixty-eight percent of patients were bedridden. Visual Analogue Scale scores were greater than 5 in 84% of patients. A muscle power grade of 3 or less (n=48), impaired muscle tone (n=38), abnormal reflexes (n=52), presence of a sensory level(n=37) and back deformity (n=17) were common signs. Plain radiography, Computed Tomography Scans, Magnetic Resonance Scans and Tecnetium Bone scans were done in 60, 35, 17 and 2 patients respectively. The commonest surgical host category was A (64%). Secondary Extradural Spinal Tumours comprised 82% while 18% were primary. Surgery was done in 14 patients with 1 failing to afford implants. Forty-eight received nonsurgical treatment. Nineteen percent of patients had improved pain scores but the rest remained the same or worsened after treatment. Complications included decubitus ulcers, Urinary Tract Infection, Deep Veinous Thrombosis, pneumonia, sepsis and joint stiffness. Fourty patients died and eighteen patients were lost to follow-up. Conclusions: The ages of patients followed normal distribution with female to male ratio of 1.2 to 1. Most patients presented with symptoms and signs of advanced disease. The type of extradural spinal tumour, stage of disease, completeness of diagnostic workup, availability of implants, need for tissue diagnosis, type of surgical host and availability of nonsurgical treatment modality determined the choice of treatment. Poor outcomes in quantity and quality of life are a reflection of the late presentation, delayed diagnosis, lack of resources and difficulty of treating these tumours. Extradural spinal tumours are not uncommon and cause significant morbidity and mortality in those affected.

Abstract:

Background : Hematological malignancies (HM) was comprise approximately 6.5% of all cancer incidences worldwide in 2012. Although prevalence of these malignancies are much lower in Asia and Africa then in Western countries. The incidence of these malignancies is drastically increasing in low-income settings. WHO predicts that the number of bloodrelated cancer cases would be increased about 48% in less developed countries by 2030 as compared to 2012. Objective : In our study we tried to determine the current pattern of haematological malignancies among patients attending at the haematology department in a tertiary hospital. Methods : This cross-sectional observational study was carried out in outpatients and inpatients department of Haematology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from 13th August 2016 to 12th august 2017 for a duration of 12 months. Detail clinical history, examination findings and investigations of patients were recorded in a pre-designed case record form. All data were converted to tabulated forms to obtain statistical information by Using Microsoft Excel and SPSS 17 program. Results : Out of 400 HM patients, most of them were male (66.75%) and remaining (33.25%) were female and male female ratio was 2.01:1. From rural were (71.25%) and remaining (28.75%) were urban population. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) patients were 87 (21.75%), mean age 25.4 years; Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients were 81 (20.25%), mean age 36.5 years; Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients were 71 (17.75%), mean age 35.5 years; Non Hodgekin lymphoma (NHL) patients were 56 (14%), mean age 42.9 years; Acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) patients were 35 (8.75%), mean age 29.4 years; Multiple myeloma (MM) patients were 33 (8.25%), mean age 55.9 years; Hodgekin lymphoma (HL) patients were 24 (6.00%), mean age 33.8 years; Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients were 7 (1.75%), mean age 61.9 years; Follicular lymphoma (FL) patients were 4 (1.00%), mean age 56.5 years; Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patient was 1 (0.25%), age 70 years and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) patient was 1 (0.25%), age 25 years. Conclusion : Study result showed that acute leukaemias were more common than chronic cases. AML and APL (subtype of AML) were more than ALL. Individually APL was the 5th in position whereas ALL was the 1st and AML was the 2nd highest cases among the 11 types of HM found in this study. Percentage of CML was higher (3rd in position) than CLL (8th in position) among the studied cases. Among the lymphomas NHL was more common (4th in position) than HL (7th in position) and MM (6th in position). FL (subtype of NHL) which is low grade in nature was 9th in position among the eleven. MCL and BL was rare and each was 1 in number in this study. Northern International Medical College Journal Vol. 11 No. 1 July 2019, Page 415-418

Abstract:

Introdução: Há várias doenças, que podem ser transmitidas, ligadas dire-tamente à pobreza e atinge com maior impacto a população marginalizada. Essas doenças matam milhões de pessoas no decorrer do ano, muitas dessas mortes são de crianças. Uma das doenças relacionada à pobreza e as con-dições de moradia é a diarreia. Objetivo: Analisar os casos de diarreia nos últimos 11 anos e comparar com as questões de saneamento. Metodologia: Para tanto, foram analisados dados que estão disponíveis em sites de domínio público como: DATASUS e SNIS que foram tratados por meio da estatística básica utilizando Excel 2016. Resultados: Mediante a análise e comparação percebeu-se que do total de anos analisados, os anos de 2013 e 2014 foram os mais significativos com relação a ocorrência de casos de DDA. Os casos tornaram-se cada vez mais frequentes na população tucuruiense e o fator principal estar atrelado ao baixo índice de saneamento na cidade, além de contribuições dos fatores ligados a pluviometria. Conclusão: Uma das alter-nativas de minimização da ocorrência dessas doenças seria o investimento na coleta de esgoto, assim como a sua disposição final, além da melhoria no ser-viço de abastecimento e distribuição de água no município. Acredita-se que o estudo servirá como fonte de pesquisa para trabalhos futuros sobre a DDA na região de Tucuruí por trazer dados bem relevantes e específicos do local, visto que a falta dessas fontes foi algo limitante para o desenvolvimento do próprio estudo em si.

Abstract:

Este estudo tem o objetivo de traçar o perfil epidemiológico da esquistossomose mansônica (EM) na região Sudeste do Brasil entre os anos de 2013 a 2017. É um tipo de estudo descritivo de tendência temporal, em que foram utilizados dados disponíveis nos registros de notificação do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), considerando o período de 2013 a 2017. O cálculo da incidência foi obtido através da estimativa populacional projetada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - IBGE. Os dados coletados foram processados pelo Excel 2016. Durante o período foram notificados 21.464 casos da doença no Sudeste brasileiro, tendo Minas Gerais (73,25%) e São Paulo (15,52%) os maiores valores absolutos de contaminação. Percebe-se que a incidência na região diminuiu de 6,03 para 3,35 casos/ano. A maior frequência dos casos envolveu os adultos que estão entre a faixa etária dos 20 aos 39 anos, sendo o sexo masculino (35,5%) o mais acometido. Além disso, a EM teve uma maior predominância na zona urbana (72,7%). Assim, os casos notificados e a incidência da doença diminuíram na região estudada. Conclui-se que estratégias preventivas e educacionais necessitam ser adotadas, com o intuito de reduzir a incidência de EM na área endêmica da região Sudeste.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The desired effect of antibiotics is compromised by the rapid escalation of antimicrobial resistance. Children are particularly at high-risk for unnecessary antibiotic prescribing, which is owing to clinicians’ diagnostic uncertainty combined with parents’ concerns and expectations. Recent Belgian data on ambulatory antibiotic prescribing practices for children are currently lacking. Therefore, we aim to analyse different aspects of antibiotic prescriptions for children in ambulatory care. Methods Pharmacy dispensing data on antibiotics for systematic use referring from 2010 to 2019 were retrieved from Farmanet, a database of pharmaceutical dispensations in community pharmacies. Population data were obtained from the Belgian statistical office (Statbel). Descriptive statistics were performed in Microsoft Excel. The Mann-Kendall test for trend analysis and the seasplot function for seasonality testing were conducted in R. Results The past decade, paediatric antibiotic use and expenditures have relatively decreased in Belgian ambulatory care with 35.5% and 44.3%, respectively. The highest volumes of antibiotics for children are prescribed by GPs working in Walloon region and rural areas, to younger children, and during winter. The most prescribed class of antibiotics for children are the penicillins and the biggest relative reduction in number of packages is seen for the sulfonamides and trimethoprim and quinolone antibacterials. Conclusions Paediatric antibiotic use has decreased in Belgian ambulatory care. Further initiatives are needed to promote prudent antibiotic prescribing in ambulatory care.

Abstract:

Introduction: Major concern shifts from mother to newborn in postnatal period. Postpartum complications contribute to a lot of maternal morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine the prevalence of morbidities in women following delivery at Manipal Teaching Hospital so as to identify and improve maternal quality care. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Manipal Teaching Hospital from September 2018 to March 2020 after ethical approval from the institutional review committee with reference number 1296. All the women presenting to the department during the study period were included in the study. Women who were admitted to accompany and nurse their babies for neonatal problems were excluded.Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Data were entered in Excel and analysed in SPSS. Results: Among 3510 cases, 104 women were admitted with various postpartum morbidities. The prevalence of postpartum morbidity was found to be 104 (2.96%) at 95% Confidence Interval (2.67-3.25). Puerperal sepsis was diagnosed in 23 (22.11%), preeclampsia in 20(19.23%) eclampsia in 14 (13.46%) and haemorrhage in 14 (13.46%) respectively. Majority of patients, 83.65% belonged to age group of 20-34 years. Nine patients (8.65%) were teenage mothers. Conclusions: Puerperal sepsis, preeclampsia, eclampsia and haemorrhage were the major postpartum complications requiring admissions in hospital.

Abstract:

Purpose To summarize the evidence available on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION). Methods Systematic searches were conducted on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar Databases. The quality assessment of the included studies was performed using Newcastle -Ottawa Scale. The data were extracted to an Excel sheet. Vessel density (VD) data were pooled by random effects model, presented as pooled percentage change (PPC), and weighted mean differences (WMD). Additional subgroup analysis was also conducted. Results In initial searches in online databases, we found 3535 citations, and after screening and checking the titles and abstracts, 26 articles were ultimately eligible for our meta-analysis. The overall PPC of Intra-optic-disc (IOD) VD (−10.73%; p = 0.017, I2 = 0.0%; p = 0.898) was lower than that of radial peripapillary (RP) VD (−17.57%; p < 0.001, I2 = 44.3%; p = 0.002). The overall PPC of peripapillary choroid VD (−6.99%; p < 0.001, I2 = 0.0%; p = 0.766) was significant, but noticeably lower than the pooled percentage change of RPVD and IOD VD. The WMD of RPVD was significant when non-affected fellow eyes were compared to the healthy subjects’ eyes (−36.26; p < 0.001, I2 = 0.0%; p = 0.706). Conclusions The central retinal artery and its branches might be the main vessels which are affected in AION. The superficial retina was more affected than choroid layer in AION. Also, radial peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer was more affected than the IOD area. OCTA might be a suitable tool for prediction of AION in susceptible eyes.

Abstract:

In Romania, the consumption of alcoholic beverages has been and still is a cultural mechanism for socializing and reducing anxiety, regardless of age and gender. This paper evaluates the trends related to people diagnosed with acute intoxication (F10.0) and harmful use (F10.1) at the 'Elisabeta Doamna' Psychiatriy Hospital in Galati, during the pandemic, in the period between the 15th of March 2020 and the 15th of March 2021. We analysed the data base of discharges from the 'Elisabeta Doamna' Psychiatry Hospital from the 15th of March 2020 to the 15th of March 2021. ICD-10 (Classification of mental and behavioural disorders) was used for diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. We selected outpatients with the codes for acute intoxication (F10.0) and harmful use (F10.1) and excluded all patients with other psychiatric diagnoses. The data were statistically processed using: Microsoft Office-Excel, The jamovi project (2021) jamovi (Version 1.6) [Computer Software]. During the analysed period, there were 7614 discharges from the 'Elisabeta Doamna' Psychiatriy Hospital of which 1465 (20.08%) disorders were related to alcohol consumption. Disorders related to intoxication and alcohol use represent 13.14% (957 cases) of the total discharges and 65.46% of the total number of disorders related to alcohol. Disorders related to harmful use (F10.1) represent 30.31% (442 cases), and a percentage of 35.15% (515 cases) with disorders due to acute intoxication (F10.0) out of the total cases were related to alcohol consumption. From the view of the dispersion of the number of cases, there is a fluctuation in the tendency to follow the restrictions imposed by the authorities.

Abstract:

Objectives: The use of herbal medicines as non-conventional treatment is popular, especially in developing countries where people suffering from chronic diseases as diabetes mellitus are more likely to use herbal medicines along with conventional medicines. However, their simultaneous use may concur serious drug interactions and may therefore result in a serious outcome. The present study was designed to identify the most commonly used herbal medicines and conventional anti-diabetic medications among Saudi population. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was developed and piloted.Data were retrieved and manually entered in Excel 2016. Frequencies and percentages were utilized to perform descriptive analysis. The study was approved by the Scientific and Research Committee of the main hospital taking part in the study. Results: A total of 347 responses were recorded (69.4% response rate). 54% of participants were male, 53% were between the age of 41 and 64 years, and 35.5% had no formal education. Black tea, Peppermint, ginger, green tea, olive oil, and black seed were among the frequently mentioned herbal medicines. Black tea was used by the majority of patients (80%) while peppermint and ginger were used by more than half of patients, i.e., (56.5%) and (52.7%) respectively. Least common herb used by patients was Artemisia species (2.8%). A majority of patients (53.4%) used traditional medicine at least once daily, and 83% used traditional medicine without their physician's prescription. Conclusion: Concomitant use of herbal and conventional anti-diabetic medication was a common practice among patients in Saudi Arabia, therefore, pharmacists-led educational programs should target both prescribers and general public about the possible interactions/risks of herbal medicines.

Abstract:

Objectives: The fastidious development of the COVID-19 vaccine is a vital achievement for the country and early data suggest that it is both safe and efficacious, however, the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine is still a major concern as it depends on the individual decision and sociodemographic characteristics. The main objective of our study is to assess the vaccine acceptance among Indians and study about post-vaccination symptoms to identify potential concerns to be addressed to ensure vaccine safety. Methods: An online cross-sectional study was conducted using Google Forms over a period of 1 week on the general population. Data were collected which included the questions regarding participant demographics, vaccination details, and their health status. Microsoft Excel was used for recording and analyzing the collected data. Results: Out of 1016 respondents, 52% were male and 47.6% were female. Most of the respondents perfectly accept the vaccine, 35.5% are neutral and 5.9% are unacceptable toward vaccination. Post the vaccination of both doses, the occurrence of fever and chills is more common in the case of the first dose, whereas rashes are more common in the second dose, muscle pain and joint pain are common in both doses. Conclusion: This community-based project on acceptance and post-vaccination symptoms of vaccination among Indians reveals that the majority of participants showed a positive acceptance rate toward the vaccination but most of them are worried about the risk of side effects. In regard to post-vaccination symptoms, mild fever and chills are the most common side effect in the case of the first dose of vaccination, whereas muscle/joint pain was seen commonly in both the first and second doses of vaccination.

Abstract:

IntroductionStudies on intracranial aneurysms (IAs) using animal models have evolved for decades. This study aimed to analyze major contributors and trends in IA-related animal research using bibliometric analysis.MethodsIA-related animal studies were retrieved from the Web of Science database. Microsoft Excel 2010, GraphPad Prism 6, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were used to collect and analyze the characteristics of this field.ResultsA total of 273 publications were retrieved. All publications were published between 1976 and 2021, and the peak publication year is 2019. Rat model were used in most of the publications, followed by mice and rabbits. Japan (35.5%), the United States (30.0%), and China (20.1%) were the top three most prolific countries. Although China ranks third in the number of publications, it still lacks high-quality articles and influential institutions. Stroke was the most prolific journal that accepted publications related to IA research using animal models. Circulation has the highest impact factor with IA-related animal studies. Hashimoto N contributed the largest number of articles. Meng hui journal published the first and second highest cited publications. The keywords “subarachnoid hemorrhage,” “macrophage,” “rupture,” “mice,” “elastase,” “gene,” “protein,” “proliferation,” and “risk factors” might be a new trend for studying IA-related animal research.ConclusionsJapan and the Unites States contributed the most to IA–related animal studies, in terms of both researchers and institutions. Although China ranks third in terms of the number of publications, it should strengthen the quality of its publications. Researchers should pay attention to the latest progress of Stroke, Journal of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery, and Circulation for their high-quality IA-related animal studies. Using animal IA models, especially mice, to investigate the molecular mechanisms of IA may be the frontier topic now and in future.

Abstract:

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on long-term care facilities worldwide. Reflecting on public health management of COVID-19 outbreaks in these settings is crucial to identify lessons learnt and improve outbreak control strategies for the future. A confirmed case of COVID-19 in a private nursing home facility was notified to the Department of Public Health West on December 30th 2020. Immediate actions included case investigation, contact tracing, implementation of infection prevention and control (IPC) measures and mass testing of all residents and staff. On December 31st 2 more confirmed cases were notified. A multidisciplinary outbreak control team was convened. Testing of SARS-CoV-2 samples was via reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. IPC site visits were made. Seven further mass testing rounds were completed at 5-7-day intervals. Data collation and descriptive analyses were performed using Microsoft Excel. There were 56 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases associated with the outbreak (28 residents, 28 staff). Overall attack rate was 52.8% (66.7% for residents, 44.0% for staff). Over half of all cases (51.7%) were detected from the first and second mass testing rounds (positivity rates 34.2% and 27.8% respectively) in the first week of the outbreak. Mean age of resident cases was 81.5 years. The majority (96.4%) were symptomatic (diarrhoea 64.3%, fever 57.1% and anorexia 25%). Hospitalisation and case fatality rates for residents were 21.4% and 41.4% respectively. Mean age of staff cases was 35.5 years. One-quarter were asymptomatic, with no hospitalisations or deaths. The outbreak was declared over on February 16th 2021. Residents of long-term care facilities are extremely vulnerable to COVID-19. Mass testing is a critically important outbreak control strategy which can facilitate rapid case finding and contact tracing in these settings, minimising the potential for further spread of infection and harm to residents and staff. Key messages Residents of long-term care facilities are extremely vulnerable to COVID-19, and may present with atypical clinical symptoms and signs of this disease. A low threshold for testing is required. Mass testing is a crucial COVID-19 outbreak control strategy in long-term care facilities to enable rapid case finding and contact tracing, minimising the potential for further spread of infection.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Patients with substance use disorder (SUD) usually report lower quality of life (QoL) than other patients and as much as patients with other mental disorders. The present study investigated variables associated with QoL domains among patients with SUD. Methods Studies in English published before December 1st 2021, were searched for on PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science to identify primary studies on factors associated with QoL domains among patients with SUD. After reviewing for study duplicates, the full-texts of selected papers were assessed for eligibility using PECO (Participants, Exposures, Comparison and Outcome) criteria: (a) participants: patients with SUD; (b) exposures: sociodemographic factors, clinical, and service use variables; (c) comparison: patient groups without SUD; and (d) outcomes: four domains of QoL (physical, mental, social, and environmental domains). Three researchers recorded the data independently using predefined Excel spreadsheets. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used for assessing risk of bias and rated each study in terms of exposure, outcome, and comparability. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and β coefficient were utilized at a 95% confidence level, and because sampling methods differed between studies’ pooled estimates, a random effects model was utilized. Results After the assessment of over 10,230 papers, a total of 17 studies met the eligibility criteria. Five studies (1260 participants) found that patients with SUD who were older were less likely to have a good physical Qol (OR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.78, 0.95). Two studies (1171 participants) indicated that patients with SUD who were homeless were less likely to have a good environmental Qol (β = -0.47, p = 0.003). However, a better mental QoL was observed in four studies (1126 participants) among those receiving support from their family or friends (social networks) (OR = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.04, 1.07). Two studies (588 participants) showed that those using cocaine were less likely to have a good mental QoL (OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.75, 0.93). Two studies (22,534 participants) showed that those using alcohol were less likely to have a good physical QoL (β = -2.21, p = 0.001). Two studies (956 participants) showed that those having severe substance use disorders were less likely to have a good mental (β = -5.44, p = 0.002) and environmental (β = -0.59, p = 0.006) QoL respectively. Four studies (3515 participants) showed that those having mental disorders were less likely to have a good physical QoL (β = -1.05, p = 0.001), and another three studies (1211 participants) that those having mental disorders were less likely to have a good mental QoL (β = -0.33, p = 0.001). Finally, two studies (609 and 682 participants) showed that individuals who experienced trauma symptoms or mental disorders were less likely to have good social and environmental QoL, respectively (OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.61, 1.00) and (OR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.9, 0.94). Conclusions The findings suggest the need for mental health services to improve the QOL among patients with SUD but further study is needed. Cocaine may cause behavioral changes which can increase the possibility of reckless and suicidal behaviors. Therefore, identifying cocaine user access, adherence, and satisfaction with treatment is recommended as an important component of adaptive functioning. Interventions that help patients with SUD get support from people within their social networks who support their recovery are also essential to their QoL.

Abstract:

Introduction: Epidurally administered local anesthetics provide most effective analgesia during labour process. Among the available local anesthetics Bupivacaine and ropivacaine are the most commonly used drugs in concentrations ranging from 0.0625% to 0.125% and 0.08% to 0.125%, respectively. Both these drugs are weak bases, highly protein bound, highly lipid soluble, and have a pKa of 8.1, low unionised fraction, thus having a slightly longer time for onset of action but with a longer duration of action and have less transfer across the placenta. Hence, they are ideal drugs for use in labour analgesia. Aim: To compare the effectiveness of programmed intermittent bolus of 0.125% bupivacaine and 0.125% ropivacaine in low volumes in full term primigravidas for epidural labour analgesia. Materials and Methods: This randomised clinical study was conducetd at PES Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, India, between June 2020 and December 2021 among 80 full term primi parturients requiring normal vaginal delivery. They were randomly divided into two groups of 40 each. Group B received 10 mL of 0.125% bupivacaine and group R received 10 mL of 0.125% ropivacaine as initial bolus dose. Repeat doses of 5 mL was given every 60 minutes or when the patient had Visual Analogue Score (VAS) score >4 with a maximum dose of 10 mL/hr with a 20 minute interval between two doses. Parameters assessed were onset, duration, level and quality of analgesia, motor blockade, number of epidural top ups, total volume of drug consumed, mode of delivery, duration of labour, APGAR score, haemodynamics, patient satisfaction and complications. Data was entered in Microsoft Excel 2010 version and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Results: Both drugs were equally effective in terms of analgesia, maternal and foetal outcomes. Bupivacaine had a faster onset of action (7.075±0.916 min) compared to ropivacaine (8.225±0.891 min) (p-value=0.001). Ropivacaine had a shorter duration of action (43.1±2.30 min vs. 47.9±4.16 min in group B) (p-value=0.0001), requiring more top-up doses (5.2±0.46 versus 4.77±0.61 in group B) (p-value=0.0007), and more total volume of drug (38.5±3.08 mL versus 35.5±4 mL in group B) (p-value=0.002). It also caused lesser motor blockade (Bromage score of 1 in 1 parturient vs. 8 parturients in group B) (p-value=0.0129) and better overall maternal satisfaction score (excellent) in 30 parturients versus 25 parturients in group B. APGAR scores at 1 minute and 5 minutes were comparable between the two groups. Mean heart rates, mean blood pressures were also comparable between the two groups. There were no significant adverse effects in either groups. Conclusion: By providing minimal motor blockade and adequate analgesia 0.125% ropivacaine allows parturients to go through the labour process with excellent maternal satisfaction and minimal adverse effects compared to 0.125% bupivacaine

Abstract:

Introduction.According to scientific data, unemployed, lonely and students are most prone to procrastination. And what about teachers, in particular, higher education institutions? There is not enough data in the available literature. As practice shows, in the case of teachers, procrastination or postponement can manifest itself in the form of stress caused by failure to fully realize goals and plans vital to the individual. Negative consequences are expressed both in reduced work capacity and in acute emotional experiences of one's own failure, dissatisfaction with the results of one's work. The aim of the study .was to investigate and evaluate the level of anxiety, depression and the nature of manifestations of procrastination among teachers of the Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University during the period of altered psycho-emotional state during forced social distancing in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on social functioning and quality of life. Materials and methods: The survey was voluntary and anonymous. The research was approved by the Bioethics Committee of Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University and conducted according to the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. We used two clinical test methods to identify emotional disturbances: the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) (Zigmond A.S. et.al.,1983; Svanborg P., 2001). In order to assess the degree of expressiveness of the propensity to postpone matters "for later" among the surveyed teachers, we created a special Google questionnaire created on the basis of data."Questionnaire to study the propensity of the individual to procrastination" (Shivari ,O.A., 2015), which is a modification of the "General Procrastination Scale" (Lay, C., 1986) and consists of two scales: "Personally conditioned procrastination scale" (Scale I) and "Situationally conditioned procrastination scale" (Scale II). Scale I indicates the general level of procrastination, and Scale II - motivational procrastination, its high indicators suggest that the questionnaire will perform some work only in the presence of motivation. In addition, in order to assess the quality of life, the data of "The Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire - Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF)" were evaluated. (Endicott J; Rapaport MH; Clary C; Fayyad R). The statistical analysis of the results was performed using STATISTICA 7.0 software packages and the package of statistical functions of Microsoft Excel. Results and discussion: Were interviewed 214 teachers of various departments of the Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University: 174 (81.6%) women, 40 (18.6%) - men. 58 interviewees (27.1%) worked at theoretical departments, 156 (72.9%) – at clinical departments. The analysis of the results of the survey according to the «Personally conditioned procrastination scale» showed that 32 (14.9%) of the teachers interviewed by us have had a low, 96 (44.8%) - medium, and 86 (40.3%) - a high level of personal tendency to procrastination. Data of "Situationally conditioned procrastination scale"showed that 54 (25.2%) have had a low level of situational procrastination,76 (35.5%) - medium and 84 (39.3%) - high, respectively.Based on the results of the survey on the HADS scale, a normal level of anxiety-depressive symptoms (0-7 points on a scale) was found in 9 (15.5%) workers from the theoretical departments and in 52 (33.3%) - clinical departments. According to the data of the conducted questionnaire according "The Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire - Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF), the least satisfied respondents were by daily functioning, present depressed mood, inability to perform housework efficiently and to spend leisure time interestingly, engage in hobbies or even perform professional duties. Conclusions. The complex of research methods made it possible to comprehensively consider procrastination as a model of the behavior of the subjects and to determine the factors influencing its occurrence during the period of changes in the psycho-emotional state caused by forced distancing in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic and to study the relationship of procrastination with the level of quality of life (from the point of view of satisfaction and enjoyment of life). The main reasons for procrastination were dominated by: lack of motivation to work; stress, as a result of uncertainty and fear of the future; laziness; limited "live" communication and an excess of virtual, external distractions. It is noteworthy that among teachers this phenomenon is not limited to academic procrastination, in most cases everything is fine in this cluster, but more often it extends to homework, interpersonal communication, social and personal life. Attention is drawn to the fact that among teachers this phenomenon is not strictly limited to academic procrastination, but extends to household tasks, interpersonal communication, social and private life.
