Audits in General Practice by Medical Students

Summary This paper reports the implementation, findings and feedback of the audit project of the general practice (GP) module carried out in the fifth year of the MBChB (Sheffield) twinning programme with the Perak College of Medicine. After training, each student with his/her GP tutor planned and conducted the audit. All 28 students (year 2002) satisfactorily completed their audit projects. Fifty percent did an audit of hypertension, 36% on diabetes, 7% on asthma and one each (3.5%) on upper respiratory tract infection and client satisfaction. It was the GP tutors first experience at audit in their clinics. The majority of indicators of care audited did not meet the set target standards.
Yupingfeng San Inhibits Th2 Cell-mediated Allergic Contact Dermatitis in Mice

Objective:Yupingfeng San(YPFS) is a traditional formula used for allergy such as asthma,allergic rhinitis,and urticaria.Mice Th2 cell-mediated allergic contact dermatitis was utilized in this study to explore the effect of YPFS on allergic inflammatory.Method: The mice were topically sensitized on the shaved abdomens with 1.5%FITC solution on abdominal skin in the day 1 and day 2 and elicited on the right ear with 0.5%FITC solution at day 6.Mice were treated with either YPFS or normal saline from day 1 to day 5(induction phase). Ear thickness was measured using a calibrated thickness gauge 24 h after the elicitation.Ear pathohistological examination was carried out by HE staining and IL-4 level of ear tissue was detected by ELISA.Result: The ear thickness,measured either by calibrated thickness gauge or under the microscope,was inhibited significantly by administration with YPFS 6.5 g·kg-1 and YPFS 13 g·kg-1 in induction phase.The pathohistological examination showed that the ear inflammation and infiltration of inflammatory cells was significantly reduced by YPFS.The levels of IL-4 in ear tissue were significantly lower in YPFS 6.5 g·kg-1 group compared with that in model group.Conclusion: Administration with YPFS in induction phase could inhibit Th2 cell-mediated allergic contact dermatitis in mice significantly,and the mechanism may be related with regulating IL-4.
Social functioning and quality of life of people with schizophrenia in the northern region of Malaysia

Abstract This is an explorative study on the quality of life of 258 people with schizophrenia living in the northern region of Malaysia. The study samples were selected from the Outpatient Department of the Departments of Psychiatry attached to the General Hospitals located in Northern Malaysia. Details on background and illness characteristics of the respondents were collected through a questionnaire prepared by the researcher. The Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO/DAS) was used to collect information related to respondents’ social functioning. The Quality of Life Interview (QOLI) was used to collect the information about quality of life (QOL). Results of the present study indicated serious deficits in the areas of social functioning and quality of home environment and these deficits were found to have a significant association with low QOL. Based on these findings, the present research argues that policy makers must focus more on creating rehabilitation resources within communities which will complement the level of success achieved in reducing psychotic symptoms. Results of the study highlight an urgent need for the creation of community-based rehabilitation facilities for the successful care of people with a mental illness in Malaysia. This is necessary for other countries in the region as well.

Azelnidipine in treatment of mild-moderate essential hypertension:A clinical trial

Objective To assess the therapeutic effect of azelnidipine on mild-moderate essential hypertension and its safety. Methods Two hundred and thirty-one patients with mild-moderate hypertension admitted to our hospital from March 2010 to June 2011 were included in this study. After treated with placebos for 2 weeks, they were randomly divided into amlodipine treatment group(n=115) and azelnidipine treatment group(n = 116). Patients in amlodipine treatment group were given 5- 10 mg amlodipine daily and those in azelnidipine treatment group were given 8- 16 mg azelnidipine daily for 8 weeks during which their blood pressures at sitting and standing position were measured. Results The diastolic blood pressure of the patients at sitting position was lower than their baseline blood pressure after 8 weeks of treatment(12.94±5.50 mmHg vs 13.56±6.22 mmHg)(1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa). The noninferiority marigin was 3 mmHg in the two groups and their double side 95% lower confidence limit was-0.94(P = 0.000 00.025). No significant difference was observed in the drug-related advertise events between the two groups and in the heart rate of azelnidipine treatment group after 8 weeks of treatment(P 0.05). Conclusion Azelnidipine(8- 16 mg/d) for 8 weeks can significantly reduce the blood pressure of patients with mild-moderate essential hypertension with a good safety and its effect is similar to that of amlodipine(5-10 mg/d).
Internet Sites and Apps Available to Students Seeking Counselling, and What School Counsellors Should Know About Them

Consumers are increasingly turning to both the internet and apps for mental health assistance. Mobile technologies such as smart phones and tablets offer swift and anonymous access for students to internet sites and app environments. Availability, however, does not guarantee quality or credibility. This web-based pilot study was undertaken to evaluate internet sites and apps on their ability to provide quality and credible information about counselling and counsellors. Of the 69 internet sites identified, only five met the inclusion criteria, and of the 30 apps identified, only eight met the inclusion criteria for quality and credibility. Inter-observer agreement was found to be 95.6% for the inclusion processes and 93% for quality and credibility. The findings strongly suggested that while there was a vast amount of information on the web, both internet sites and apps rarely met criteria for quality and credibility. The role of school counsellors in helping students use web-based counselling tools was discussed.
Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of organophosphorus pesticide exposure among women affiliated to the Manshat Sultan Family Health Center (rural area) in Menoufia governorate: an intervention study

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the impact of an educational program in terms of the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of organophosphorus (OP) pesticides among women in rural areas. Background OP pesticides are used widely in developing countries despite their known toxicity. Unsafe use of pesticides is common in developing countries. In Egypt, many pesticides are used to control pests in agriculture. Patients and methods A quasi interventional study was carried out that included 40 pregnant women exposed to OP pesticides. The study was carried out during the period from the 1 July 2012 to the end of June 2013. Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of OP pesticide exposure were assessed using a predesigned questionnaire. A postintervention evaluation was carried out after 6 months. Results The mean ΁ SD age of the participants was 26.3 ΁ 3.93 years. The majority of knowledge parameters including source of knowledge, route of entry, symptoms of long-term OP pesticide exposure or toxicity, and parameters related to all attitudes improved significantly after the implementation of a health education program (P < 0.05). The majority of practice parameters, including the use of OP pesticides in the home or field, following the instructions written on the pesticide bottle′s label, and checking the expiry date, improved significantly after the implementation of a health education program (P < 0.05). Conclusion The level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of OP pesticides were low. The educational sessions improved the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices among the participants.
Midterm results of cementless total hip arthroplasty in young

Introduction: There are a variety of etiological factors that may result in arthritis of the hip in young adults. There are, therefore, not infrequent occasions when orthopedic surgeons may encounter very young patients with end-stage arthritis of the hip necessitating surgical intervention. In the past hip arthrodesis or resection arthroplasty were used to address end-stage arthritis of the hip in young patients but recently total hip arthroplasty emerged as the viable alternative to above surgical procedures. The high activity level, repetitive loading and excessive demand placed on the hip on one hand and issues of durability of the implant materials on the other lead to high failure rates of total hip arthroplasty in young patients in the past. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of these modern cementless THA in patients with end stage arthritis who were younger than 40 years of age. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was carried out in which 25 patients (28 hips) younger than 40 years with hip arthritis underwent primary cementless total hip arthroplasties participated. The Taperloc femoral component with Porous coated cementless acetabular cup and highly crossed linked polyethylene liner was used in all hips. The Harris hip score was used to determine functional outcome and activity level was evaluated by the classification of Johnston et al. Radiographic analysis consisted of antero-posterior views of the hip and pelvis, a true lateral view of the hip. Observations and Results: All 25 patients were available for both clinical and radiographic evaluation. 93% of patients had excellent to good; and none of the hips had poor clinical outcome. Radiographic assessment revealed consistent evidence of bony ingrowth. No femoral component was loose or required revision. Conclusion: Cementless total hip arthroplasty can be safely and successfully performed in young patients less than 40 years with excellent results in short to midterm follow-up.
Lurasidone: The Most Recent Addition to Our Antipsychotic Armamentarium: A Review of the Data

for clinical use in the United States (Figure 1), with lurasidone (Latuda) being the most recent agent to enter the market. It was the only new drug to be approved for use in schizophrenia by the FDA in the year 2010 and is likely to become available for clinical use in the first quarter of 2011. Despite the large number of antipsychotic medications, many patients either do not benefit or develop significant adverse effects from currently available agents. Psychiatrists need to evaluate data on emerging agents and determine how to incorporate them effectively into practice. In this article, we review the pharmacologic profile of lurasidone, summarize clinical trial data that pertain to its efficacy and safety-tolerability, discuss its optimal clinical use, compare its clinical profile with those of other commonly used antipsychotic agents, and consider its role in the treatment of schizophrenia.

When Noble Means Hinder Noble Ends

T he decision to donate one’s money and time is a particularly interesting kind of choice because it involves trade-offs between personal, selfinterested goals (i.e., goals that primarily benefit the decision maker) on the one hand, and collective, altruistic goals (i.e., goals that contribute to the greater good) on the other. Why and how people make altruistic choices has been a topic of great interest in many fields, including philosophy, biology, economics, sociology, political science, and psychology. as a result, plenty of energy has gone into devising models and theories that can explain altruistic behaviors or provide normative standards for how we should make decisions when faced with trade-offs between personal well-being and collective welfare. in this chapter, i start by considering two normative standards for making donation choices, which i call Pareto hedonism and Pareto utilitarianism. Next, i briefly review literature that suggests that people may not always be motivated to follow these standards, instead preferring means of charitable giving that involve significant pain and effort—a phenomenon called the martyrdom effect. i then discuss recent research showing that, as a result of the martyrdom effect, donation decisions often violate both pareto hedonism and pareto utilitarianism. i conclude by discussing the implications and dilemmas that result from this preference for challenging forms of altruism.
Coping Strategies and Psychological Well-Being of Guidance and Counselling Teachers in Schools

In the era of globalization and with the emergence of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, Malaysia, as a developing country, put much emphasis in education along with other important sectors. This scenario leads to the increasing role of guidance and counselling teachers in the school in producing great and knowledgeable students. This responsibility causes guidance and counselling teachers to face various challenges that may put pressure on the profession. Guidance and counselling teachers need to prepare themselves with coping strategies in order to maintain psychological well-being which is an important aspect for the development of the services offered. The results of past research found that coping strategies contributed to the psychological well-being of guidance and counselling teachers and improved the quality of guidance and counselling services. Therefore, this paper reviews the factors of coping strategies as contributors to psychological well-being besides identifying the needs in strengthening the coping strategies and psychological well-being of guidance and counselling teachers. It is suggested that future studies should focus on quantitative and qualitative studies in order to have a better understanding of these issues.

Forecasting Cross-Section of Stock Returns with Realised Moments

The study tests whether realised moments of stock returns (mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis) computed from daily returns over the last month, quarter and year can predict the 1-month cross-sectional stock returns of 40 US-traded liquid stocks in the period 1986-2019. The performed univariate regression analysis confirmed a statistically significant positive effect between all the realised moments, computed over the last quarter and year, and the future 1-month cross-sectional stock returns, while the 1-month realised moments proved to be mostly insignificant. Multivariate analysis, performed with Elastic Net Regression, has confirmed that investment strategies utilising information from realised moments were able to significantly outperform a random investment in the out-sample period 2004-2019.
Assessing the impact of social grants on household welfare using morning after simulation and PSM approach

Despite having relatively well-developed social security system, poverty levels in rural parts of South Africa remains very high. This study employs a cross-sectional households’ survey data conducted in Hlokozi village (located in one of the poorest provinces in South Africa – Kwazulu Natal Province) and propensity score matching technique (which accounts for nonrandom selection of households) to investigate the impact of social grants on rural household welfare. The results reveal that social grants have a significant and positive impact on rural household welfare. Specifically, the nearest neighbour matching estimates suggest that the causal effect for social grants on household welfare is the region of about R 5830. Consistent with the nearest neighbouring method, the results obtained using Kernel matching method shows that social grants are significant in improving rural household welfare. Our finding seem to lend credence to the conclusion of previous studies that social grants (conditional or unconditional) help in the way of lifting households out of poverty and improve their welfare. Thus rural areas (traditional rural areas) should continue to be a chief focus of poverty alleviation efforts in South Africa.
SBZ 2–6 LARGER FORAMINIFERAL ASSEMBLAGES FROM THE APULIAN AND PRE–APULIAN DOMAINS

We present a synthesis on ongoing research on Paleocene–Eocene (SBZ 2–6) larger foraminiferal assemblages from Central–Southern Italy and the Ionian Islands, in order to point out the biostratigraphic potential of additional markers (e.g., smaller keramospherinids and Daviesina), the need to re–examine the ranges of selected taxa, and the necessity of detailed sampling of selected sections from various depositional settings and paleogeographic units. Also, we present an as yet unpublished SBZ 4 assemblage from the northern Maiella Mt., in which loose specimens of larger foraminifera occur. Biometrical data for some taxa are given; about 40, several as yet unrecorded taxa, are illustrated.
Isolation, characterization and identification of thiosulfate-oxidizing strain MU2A-22 isolated from volcanic deposits in Miyake-jima island, Japan

[Objective] A bacterium MU2A-22, which was isolated from 131-year-old volcanic deposits of Miyake-jima island (Japan), has been characterized for its capability of thiosulfate oxidizing. [Methods] The culture-based method was used to isolate and identify strain MU2A-22 for its phenotypic characteristics and taxonomic position. [Results] The strain MU2A-22 was Gram-negative, short rodto coccus-shaped. This bacterium could utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, gluconate, adipate and dL-malate as sole carbon source. Strain MU2A-22 was able to use thiosulfate as an energy source with the optimum concentration of 2.5 mmol/L. The optimum growth condition was 25 °C−30 °C and pH was 6.0−8.0 respectively. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that this strain was closely related to Paracoccus solventivorans 6637 within Alphaprotebacteria (97% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). Its possess of the large-subunit gene of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) has also been identified. The cellular fatty acid profiles was characterized of the genus Paracoccus. The major fatty acids (>10%) were C18:1(74.7%) and C18:0(12.1%). DNA-DNA relatedness between strain MU2A-22 and P. solventivorans 6637 was 49.3%. G+C contents was 66.5%−66.7%. [Conclusion] As for the above results, strain MU2A-22 seemed to be a novel species in the genus Paracoccus with its accession number of GQ452286 and the name of Paracoccus scorialis sp. nov. was proposed.
Conservation Agriculture Increases Yields and Economic Returns of Potato, Forage, and Grain Systems of the Andes

2747 AbstrAct Physical and environmental vulnerability analysis conducted for the Illangama watershed located in Ecuador’s Andean highlands, shows deteriorated soil quality and declining crop productivity. These problems are caused by soil erosion in steep slopes and inappropriate soil management practices. Research projects conducted from 2011 to 2014 adopted and examined the feasibility of conservation agriculture practices for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), oat (Avena sativa L.) and vetch (Vicia sativa L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), bean (Vicia faba L.), and a mixture of pastures (annual ryegrass [Lolium multiflorum Lam.], perennial ryegrass [L. perenne L.], orchardgrass [Dactylis glomerata L.], white clover[Trifolium repens L.], and red clover [T. pratense L.]). The practices included surface water deviation ditches, reduced tillage, residue retention, and application of N, all within an improved rotation. The study examined crop yields and economic returns in an effort to identify the best practices. Results indicate that crop productivity and net (of cost of production) benefits of the system were increased as much as 25 and 24%, respectively, using a feasible conservation agriculture system compared to conventional practices. This study shows that conservation agriculture increases yields and saves on production costs due to less tillage. We also found that N fertilization with these conservation agriculture practices increases yields and net returns. This study concludes that conservation agriculture practices are good alternatives for these high-altitude Andean soils. The practices should be promoted among Andean producers to increase the productivity and sustainability of their potato–grain–pasture systems.
