Authors: Adekile Adekunle D. , Asbeutah Akram M. , Zahra Akmal , Al-Abboh Hanan , AlMajran Abdullah A.
Published: October 2022

Objectives: Transcranial Doppler imaging (TCDI) of the cerebral
arteries is the method of choice to predict patients with sickle cell
disease (SCD) at risk for stroke. The present study reports TCDI
follow-up of cerebral blood flow in Kuwaiti children with SCD after a
10-year interval. Methods: Twenty-one pediatric patients with
SCD, aged 16.0 ± 1.6 years were initially studied when they were aged
6.5 ± 1.2 years. TCDI scanning was carried out using a phased-array
transducer of 1-3 MHz through the trans-temporal window. Peak systolic
velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), time-averaged mean of the
maximum velocity (TAMMV), resistive index (RI), and pulsatility index
(PI) were obtained in the anterior and posterior Circle of Willis
vessels. Results: The follow-up indices were mostly lower than
in the initial study although they remained within the normal range in
all the arteries. TAMMV was less than 170 cm/s, and PSV did not exceed
200 cm/s in all vessels. The initial and follow-up TAMMV were: 77.3 ±
20.9 and 71.6 ± 9.9 in the terminal internal carotid artery, 94.3 ± 25.8
and 82 ± 18.2 in the middle cerebral artery, 76.6 ± 25.6 and 70.6 ± 10.7
in the anterior cerebral artery, and 59.1 ± 15.8 and 63.9 ± 8.5 in the
posterior cerebral artery respectively. The differences between the old
and follow-up data for PSV, RI, and PI were statistically significant
(P<0.05). Conclusions: Kuwaiti patients with SCD
appear to be largely protected from cerebral artery vasculopathy in
childhood.

Authors: Bashir Mohamad , Jubouri Matti , Chen Edward P. , Mariscalco Giovanni , Narayan Pradeep , Bailey Damian , Awad Wael , Williams Ian , Velayudhan Bashi , Idhrees Mohammed
Published: October 2022

Cardiothoracic surgery is facing a multitude of challenges in leadership
and training on the global scale, these being a complex and aging
patient population, shortage of cardiac surgeons, diminishing student
interest and trainee enthusiasm, increasingly challenging training
obstacles and work-life imbalances, suboptimal job prospects, reports of
discrimination and bullying and lack of diversity as well as gap between
innovation and technology, clinical application, and training of future
surgeons. The survival of cardiac surgery hinges on the leadership
attracting and retaining young surgeons into the specialty. Mentoring,
leading through example, recognizing the work-life imbalances, adapting
to diverse and modern training models and embracing diversity with
respect to gender and race, will ultimately be required to create and
cultivate a nurturing environment of training and preparing future
leaders. The vision for training future generations of cardiothoracic
surgeons must rely heavily on strengthening the unity of the heart team.
In doing so we can provide the best possible care for our patients and a
most fulfilling career for the future generation of cardiac surgeons.

Authors: Valova Mariya , Agmanova Atirkul , Amangeldy Aynur
Published: October 2022

Objectives of the research are to study the impact of the ethical concept of “shame” on the moral consciousness and behavior of adolescents in high school. To do this, an analysis of the concept of “shame” in special literature was carried out, as well as an analysis of the content of this concept in the minds of adolescents. The insufficient regulatory and modification effectiveness of the concept of “shame” revealed in the course of the research is influenced by several factors: a value crisis in the spiritual state of modern society; psychological characteristics of adolescence; shortcomings of the idea of shame formed in the minds of adolescents (a substantive understanding of emotion, an insignificant degree of the emotions of fear and guilt in the shame complex, lack of logical awareness of cause-and-effect relationships).

Published: October 2022

The article considers external and internal impacts on modern society that create unique conditions for its functioning, i.e. a combination of exponential information-technological development and the COVID-19 unstable dynamics. Assuming an objectively conditioned coexistence of modern challenges and social society with its most important institutions, the authors of the article conduct a comprehensive interdisciplinary study. This allows them to trace the mutual influence of internal socio-psychological properties and external institutional forms of society management provided by the system of legal regulation. The authors have analyzed the modernization of the most important social institution that regulates the socialization of a personality (education), the transformation of its goals, objectives, mechanisms, methods and tools.  As a result, the authors have concluded that the popularization of digital technologies is objectively and naturally predetermined by new goals and objectives of this social institution in modern conditions. However, it requires a transformation of the current regulatory framework.

Published: October 2022

The article presents the results of the study of standard-setting activities of higher education institutions (certain aspects of said activities under the conditions of the pandemic). The authors conclude that the conditions of the pandemic and the transition to remote work determined the need for corrections in the legislation governing the activities of educational institutions to maintain the level of quality of higher education. In particular, due to students’ mass transition to distance learning, there is a need to create quality standards for distance education and the attestation procedure for universities using blended and distance learning.
Homosexuality, Queer and Marxism: An historical survey and a view from the (post)Yugoslav perspective
Authors: Bobicic Nadja
Published: October 2022

The complex relationship between Queer and Marxism, and the related concepts
of gender and class, opression and exploatation, is the question that gets
raised time and again within progressive theories and movements. Which one
has the priority? Or, is the priority issue totally wrong, and one needs to
answer instead how these concepts mutually condition each other? The answers
to these questions also depend on how we conceive the multiple histories of
Queer Marxism. Therefore, this essay is divided into two parts. The first
part deals with the history of Queer Marxism in the West. The corpus of
works upon which this segment is based involves so far dominant approaches
to this history and works by authors like Mario Mieli and Guy Hocquenghem
from the second half of the 20th century, as well as the writings by one of
the founders of Queer Marxism, Peter Drucker, from the last decade. The
second part focuses on the present-day decolonial perspectives on Queer
Marxist history in the making, and in particular, previous studies of
homosexual history from the Yugoslav socialist period. In the end, we
provide a brief sketch of the field of post-Yugoslav Queer Marxism in the
making.
Decolonization of the third gender in the contemporary Indonesia
Authors: Djordjevic Nebojsa
Published: October 2022

One of the first words that is learned in Indonesian is waria. This word is
made by combing word wanita which means woman and pria which means man.
Warias are one of the most known and visible forms of third gender in
Indonesia, this term marks trans-women who has their role in social life
throughout Java island. Beside this one there, less visible and researched
identity called priawan for trans-men. In the classical epic of Bugis people
La Galigo, which is regarded as Memory of the World by UNESCO, there are
five distinct genders: bissu, calabai, calalai, makkunrai i oroan?. These
genders still exist in south part of Sulawesi Island. Position of other
genders, out of binary men and women, which position was installed by
abrahamic religion in Indonesia, meaning Sunni Islam and different Christian
domination is under threat. This paper aims to deconstruct third gender
forms in Indonesia. Decolonization is used in order to better comprehend
multigenderism away from Western paradigms. By understanding complex
socio-religious environment we can grasp the mechanism of the survival of
these marginalized communities besides all circumstances.
Auditing the Derivative Usage of Bank-Holding Companies
Authors: Hairston Stephanie , Johnston Joseph A. , Zhang Joseph H.
Published: October 2022

SYNOPSIS

Auditing financial derivatives is complex and contentious. Our study examines the impact of derivative use on the risk premium charged by auditors of bank-holding companies (BHCs). We find that audit fees are higher regardless of whether derivative instruments are used for hedging and trading. This implies that auditors charge BHCs that use derivatives a risk premium to compensate for additional risk related to these instruments. We also find that trading derivatives tend to have a higher risk premium than hedging derivatives. Our results suggest that auditors price risks related to derivatives, and trading derivatives are perceived to be higher risk than hedging derivatives.

Data Availability: All data are available from public databases identified in the paper.

Do Depositors Respond to Banks’ Social Performance?
Authors: Chen Yi-Chun , Hung Mingyi , Wang Lynn Linghuan
Published: October 2022

We study whether and how banks’ social performance affects depositors, who hold demandable debt with pervasive government protection. Exploiting the regulatory releases of bank performance ratings for community development and a difference-in-differences design, we find a decline in deposit growth after the release of negative bank social performance. In addition, deposits that are impacted by the negative events flow to nearby banks with high social performance. Further analyses find that the results hold similarly among insured and uninsured deposits and are primarily driven by banks with a large proportion of deposits from high-trust and pro-social counties, and in poor information environments. Overall, we contribute to the literature by documenting the importance of social performance to nonshareholder stakeholders and providing implications for bank stability.

Do Companies Redact Material Information from Confidential SEC Filings? Evidence from the FAST Act
Authors: Thompson Anne M. , Urcan Oktay , Yoon Hayoung
Published: October 2022

The Securities and Exchange Commission permits companies to redact proprietary information from material contract filings, so long as the redacted information (1) would cause competitive harm if disclosed, and (2) the information is legally immaterial. Because these joint criteria are inherently contradictory, we examine whether legally immaterial redacted information is economically material to investors. We find that firms’ stock price discovery process is significantly slower and insider trading is significantly greater after companies file redacted contracts compared to nonredacted contracts. We then examine the impact of the 2019 FAST Act, which reduced the SEC’s oversight of redacted contracts. Companies redact more frequently and insider trading (but not speed of stock price discovery) is more pronounced after the FAST Act. Taken together, these findings suggest that at least some redacted information is economically material to investors and that reducing SEC oversight of redacted information may not be in investors’ best interests.

Nonsurgical orthodontic correction of facial asymmetry by condylar remodeling and mandibular repositioning following occlusal cant correction with microimplants: a case report
Authors: Kim Ho-Jin , Noh Hyung-Kyu , Park Hyo-Sang
Published: October 2022

Recently, the demand for correcting facial asymmetry has been increasing, even when the extent of asymmetry is small. This case report describes nonsurgical orthodontic treatment for facial asymmetry in a 13-year-old female patient, facilitated by moving the deviant mandible to the nondeviated side after correcting for relevant dental compensation using microimplants. Mandibular repositioning was attempted using intermaxillary elastics between the microimplants placed into each jaw and guided by resin that was bonded on the maxillary first molar of the deviated side. To enhance mandibular movement, correction of the transverse occlusal cant and buccolingual inclination of the teeth were also performed. After 65 months of gradual treatment, facial symmetry, with favorable occlusion and jaw function, was achieved. These satisfactory results, including a well-balanced face and good occlusal interdigitation, were well maintained at the 53-month follow-up. Direct and functional forces applied against deviant functional forces can reduce facial asymmetry by differential growth or modeling of the condyle.
Comparison of two different therapeutic approaches for skeletal Class II patients with temporomandibular degenerative joint disease
Authors: Qin Xueyan , He Yuyan , Zhang Shouyu , Jin Ni , Yang Zhi
Published: October 2022

Objectives

To compare two different therapeutic approaches for skeletal Class II patients with temporomandibular degenerative joint disease.

Materials and Methods

A total of 47 patients were included in this study. Group anterior repositioning splint (ARS) was treated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc surgery followed by an ARS and camouflage orthodontic treatment. Group stabilization splint (SS) was treated with an SS followed by orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery. Cephalometric analysis of lateral radiographs and measurements of condylar height were evaluated before and after splints.

Results

In group ARS, mandibular advancement was observed after treatment in 21 of 24 patients (87.5%). The SNB angle increased by an average of 1.40 ± 1.01°. The ANB angle, overjet, Wits, and convexity decreased. Facial angle and soft tissue N Vert to pogonion increased. Vertically, MP-FH, MP-SN, y-axis, and vertical ratio decreased and ANS-Me/N-Me and S-Go/N-Me increased, suggesting a counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. In group SS, 18 of 23 patients (78.3%) showed a backward change tendency. The SNB angle reduced by 0.90 ± 0.93°. The ANB angle, overjet, Wits, convexity, and y-axis increased. The facial angle and soft tissue N Vert to soft tissue pogonion (ST N Vert to ST pogonion) decreased. Magnetic resonance imaging showed condylar height increased by 1.45 ± 3.05 mm (P = .002) in group ARS. In group SS, condylar height change was not consistent.

Conclusions

TMJ disc surgery followed by ARS promoted condylar bone remodeling and regeneration. The SNB angle increased, and the severity of skeletal Class II was improved. The SS enabled the mandible to withdraw backward and revealed a retrognathic but true mandible position.

Authors: Heima Masahiro , Stehli Kelsey
Published: October 2022

Objective:

Dental fear screening is an important part of providing a positive pediatric dental experience. To improve efficiency, the development of a single-item dental fear assessment tool for children has been desired. In this psychometric analysis, the reliability and validity of the Dental Anxiety Question (DAQ) is studied when used in children aged 7 to 18 years.

Methods:

Participants completed the DAQ (pre-tx-DAQ), the Children's Fear Survey Schedule–Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS), and a demographic information questionnaire before treatment. Participants repeated the DAQ after treatment (post-tx-DAQ) and once more at least 2 weeks later (follow-up-DAQ). Stability reliability within the DAQ scores and criterion validity with the CFSS-DS were evaluated.

Results:

Stability reliability analyses between pre-tx-DAQ/post-tx-DAQ and post-tx-DAQ/follow-up-DAQ demonstrated significant positive correlations: Spearman rank correlation coefficient (rs) = 0.420, rs2 = 0.18, P < .001, and rs = 0.563, rs2 = 0.32, P < .001, respectively. Criterion validity analysis between the pre-tx-DAQ and CFSS-DS also demonstrated a significant correlation: Pearson correlation coefficient (r) = 0.584, r2 = 0.34, P < .001.

Conclusion:

The stability reliability and criterion validity of the DAQ was proved among children.

Published: October 2022

Objective:

Postoperative sore throat is relatively frequent complication after orotracheal intubation. However, there are few reports about postoperative sore throat in nasotracheal intubation. In this retrospective study, we investigated the risk factors of postoperative sore throat in nasotracheal intubation.

Methods:

Anesthesia records of patients 16 to 80 years of age who underwent nasotracheal intubation were included. Patients underwent oral and maxillofacial surgery from February 2015 until September 2018. Airway device (Macintosh laryngoscope, Pentax-AWS, or McGRATH video laryngoscope, or fiberoptic scope), sex, age, height, weight, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, intubation attempts, duration of intubation, intubation time, tube size, and fentanyl and remifentanil dose were investigated. Fisher exact test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Welch t test, and Steel-Dwass multiple test were used, and a multivariable analysis was performed using stepwise logistic regression to determine the risk factors of postoperative sore throat.

Results:

A total of 169 cases were analyzed, and 126 patients (74.6%) had a postoperative sore throat. Based on the univariate analysis of the data, 12 factors were determined to be potentially related to the occurrence of a postoperative sore throat. However, after evaluation using stepwise logistic regression analysis, the 2 remaining variables that correlated with postoperative sore throat were airway device (P < .05) and intubation attempts (P = .04). In the model using logistic regression analysis, the fiberoptic scope had the strongest influence on the incidence of sore throat with reference to Pentax-AWS (odds ratio = 5.25; 95% CI = 1.54–17.92; P < .05).

Conclusion:

Use of a fiberoptic scope was identified as an independent risk factor for postoperative throat discomfort. Compared with direct laryngoscopy and other video laryngoscopes, the use of a fiberoptic scope had a significantly higher incidence of sore throat.
Parental stress and dedication to the education of their children among parents from eastern Peru
Authors: Tucto-Claudio Jhomira , Navarro Uriaz , Aranda-Turpo Jessica , Cjuno Julio
Published: October 2022

Background: The parental stress levels increased during their children's virtual education season. This makes parents feel overwhelmed by the demands of the parental role, promoting negative feelings about themselves or their children. Therefore, the aim is to determine the relationship between parental stress and dedication to the virtual education of their children in parents from the city of Tingo Maria, Peru. Methods: It is a cross-sectional descriptive non-experimental design study with a correlational scope. The instruments used in the data collection were: The parental Stress Scale and the Questionnaire Dedication to the Virtual Education of their Children, in which 356 parents aged 18 to 59 years (Me=37; SD=7.49) from the Peruvian Amazon dedicated to agriculture participated. Results: Where it was found that there is no relationship between parental stress and dedication to the virtual education of children (rho = -0.096; p = 0.071). However, a highly significant relationship was found between the dimensions of parental rewards (rho = 0.384; p=0.000) and stress factors (rho = -0.270; p = 0.000) with the variable dedication to virtual education with moderate effect size and small respectively. Likewise, significant differences were found between parental stress according to marital status (U= 12056.0, p<0.05, d= 1.703) and children's dedication to virtual education according to age (U=3360.0, p<0.05, d= 1.343). Conclusions: In the parents who participated in the study, the greater the stressors, the lower the dedication to their children's virtual education, and an increase in parental reward increased the dedication to their children's virtual education. Further studies can explore the relationship of these variables in parents with other socioeconomic conditions and representative samples from other regions.

Zika virus as an emerging arbovirus of international public health concern
Authors: Vaziri Samira , Pour Siavash Hamzeh , Akrami-Mohajeri Fateme
Published: October 2022

Zika virus (ZIKV) was identified in 1947 in a rhesus monkey during an investigation of the yellow fever virus in the Zika Forest of Uganda; it was also isolated later from humans in Nigeria. The main distribution areas of ZIKV were the African mainland and South-East Asia in the 1980s, Micronesia in 2007, and more recently the Americas in 2014. ZIKV belongs to the Flaviviridae family and Flavivirus genus. ZIKV infection, which is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, is an emerging arbovirus disease. The clinical symptoms of ZIKV infection are fever, headache, rashes, arthralgia, and conjunctivitis, which clinically resemble dengue fever syndrome. Sometimes, ZIKV infection has been associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly. At the end of 2015, following an increase in cases of ZIKV infection associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly in newborns in Brazil, the World Health Organization declared a global emergency. Therefore, considering the global distribution and pathogenic nature of this virus, the current study aimed at reviewing the virologic features, transmission patterns, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ZIKV infection.

Authors: Hyun Jung Hee , Yoon Ju Young , Lee Sang Hyuk
Published: October 2022

Objectives: We aimed to reconfirm the source of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection through epidemiological and genotype investigations of individual cases in a 2019 outbreak in South Korea.Methods: We investigated food intake histories, associations with hepatitis A, and genotypes of HAV in 31 patients with hepatitis aged 20 to 49 years registered in the integrated disease and health management system during December 1–7, 2019 (case group) and in 35 sex- and age-matched people without a history of HAV vaccination or infection among patients’ families and colleagues (control group).Results: The consumption of salted clams was a significant factor (odds ratio, 4.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.32–14.18) in the risk factor analysis of food intake history. HAV genotypes were analyzed in 24 of 31 patients. Type IA and type IIIA were found in 23 and 1 cases, respectively.Conclusion: Salted clams are considered to have been the source of HAV infection at 49 weeks of the HAV outbreak in 2019; this result was consistent with that of a previous epidemiological investigation conducted by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency in September 2019. Therefore, monitoring of the production and distribution of salted clams needs to be continued.

Authors: Castro-Gutiérrez John Eliseo , Quiñonez Magaly , Dulcey-Sarmiento Luis Andres
Published: October 2022

Introducción: El signo de Frank o signo del lóbulo hendido se ha asociado con la existencia de una desorganización de las fibras elásticas y un espesamiento de las arteriolas que provoca una esclerosis vascular y una isquemia crónica local del lóbulo de la oreja. Objetivo: Determinar la relación del signo de lóbulo hendido con las enfermedades cardiovasculares en pacientes del servicio de Medicina Interna del Instituto Autónomo Hospital Universitario de los Andes, entre diciembre de 2017 y julio de2018. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo y transversal de casos y controles, para establecer la relación entre el signo del lóbulo hendido y la enfermedad cardiovascular. Resultados: Se observa que el tabaquismo es un factor de riesgo asociado directamente con la presencia del signo del lóbulo hendido (p = 0,047), dado que existe una mayor tendencia a su aparición mientras mayor es la intensidad del tabaquismo. La presencia del signo del lóbulo genera un riesgo relativo de 2,062 veces, en cuanto a eventos cardiovasculares en comparación con aquellos quienes no lo presentan. Conclusiones: Se considera que la asociación encontrada entre el signo del lóbulo hendido, el tabaquismo y las enfermedades cardiovasculares ofrecen una herramienta fácilmente identificable de una población de riesgo mayor para el desarrollo de estas patologías.

Published: October 2022

El artículo tiene como propósito analizar discursivamente la influencia mediática que ejerce el comercial Comparte una Coca-Cola, bajo la campaña publicitaria Destapa la felicidad del año 2014, en el poder de consumo del producto en diferentes contextos sociales. Su enfoque estriba en la perspectiva multimodal, centrada en la metodología para el análisis crítico del discurso como método para la investigación en ciencias sociales del autor Norman Fairclough (2008), la cual permite plantear una postura crítica desde la semiótica en el comercial mencionado y una interpretación a la luz de teorías; develando los distintos significados tras la proyección de imágenes utilizadas en el desarrollo del contenido publicitario, la letra de la canción del comercial que enmarca la campaña y su incidencia social desde el discurso promocional en el poder de consumo.

This article examines the branding of the new Tampere University in Finland and the reactions it evoked in Finnish social media and news media between 2018–2020. The merger of the University of Tampere and Tampere University of Technology into a new foundation-based university provoked considerable public debate and sparked uproar over the communication style and practices of the university’s new management. The main reason for the outcry was that the new governance model of the university ignored the traditional democratic way of running a university. Our article contributes to the growing literature on public relations communication in higher education by focusing on promotional culture and the role of the changing media landscape in university branding. We analyze how and why the brand messages were contested and transformed into memes and satirical commentaries on social media. When the university’s management tried to restrain this subversive play with legal sanctions, the issue escalated into the news media. Our qualitative analysis demonstrates the possible repercussions of a quasi-corporate style of communication on the credibility of the university as a higher education institution in a hybrid media environment.

Optimization of Yeast Cultivation Factors for Improved SCP Production
Authors: Raita Svetlana , Kusnere Zane , Spalvins Kriss , Blumberga Dagnija
Published: October 2022

Yeast Single-Cell Proteins (SCP) production using various agro-industrial byproducts and wastes have significant potential as an alternative to the soy meal, and fish meal protein used for livestock and aquaculture feeds. The use of organic wastes as a substrate in the fermentation processes can be accepted as one of the solutions to reduce the total price of the culture and an environmentally friendlier method of removing these residues. This review article focuses on the yeast biomass yield and protein content increase strategies, which is impossible without understanding metabolic pathways and switching mechanisms. The present work discusses optimization strategies for protein-enriched yeast biomass production, such as fermentation medium composition, including a selection of carbon and nitrogen sources and their ratio, supplemented trace elements, and cultivation conditions such as pH, temperature, time of cultivation, and inoculum size. This review summarizes the theoretical knowledge and experimental results of other researchers that provide an overview of the achievements of the last decades in the production of SCP.
Trilhos: Memórias. Por Vezes, Quase um Diário
Authors: Oliveira Luís Valente de
Published: October 2022

As memórias não se furtam à suspeita de serem a expressão da forma como os seus autores gostariam de ser vistos pelos seus leitores ou, mesmo, pela posteridade. No meu caso não há grandes coisas em jogo, de modo que escuso de me esforçar para transmitir uma imagem hiperbólica do que aconteceu. Tudo foi relativamente normal. Sucede é que já vivi bastante, tendo a sorte de haver sido intérprete de pequenas coisas que afectaram a vida de muitos e de querer fixá-las no papel antes que a idade cumpra a sua inexorável função de apagadora das recordações que conservo. Quando começam a surgir algumas épocas em branco ou muito desfocadas ou esvaídas, é sinal de que começou o declínio inevitável. Há que escrever antes disso acontecer.

Authors: Alghasham Ghadeer , Bukhamsin Raghad , Albenayyan Hanan , Alshurem Mohammed
Published: October 2022

Background: Epilepsy is one of the common disorders in Saudi Arabia, and the stigma associated with it is influenced by poor awareness regarding the disease in the general community.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the community-level general knowledge of epilepsy and first aid for seizures in relation to sociodemographic characteristics and assess the attitude toward epileptic patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire survey among adults in Al-Hasa, Saudi Arabia, in 2021.
Results: Among the 391 participants, 66.8% were 18-30 years old, and 70.8% were females. Among these, 23.5% had good general knowledge about epilepsy, while 29.7% had good knowledge about first aid for seizures. An educational level of diploma/higher, working or studying in the medical field, and lack of seizure experience were significantly associated with good general knowledge about epilepsy and first aid for seizures. Female sex was associated with good knowledge of seizure first aid. However, 41.2% of the participants were not aware of the safety aspects of the COVID-19 vaccine for epileptic patients.
Conclusion: Overall knowledge of epilepsy and first aid for seizures was suboptimal among most participants. Many participants did not know much about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for patients with epilepsy. The knowledge level on epilepsy and its first aid differed significantly across different types of occupation, education levels, and sex.
