Introducción. Los antecedentes de cuarentenas han señalado impactos en el corto y largo plazo en la salud mental.Objetivo. Describir las repercusiones generadas en el área de la salud mental en la población uruguaya mayor de 18 años, de las variables ansiedad, tristeza y dificultades para conciliar el sueño, en el periodo comprendido entre el 13 de marzo de 2020 al 10 de junio de 2021. Metodología. Estudio transversal analítico. Se aplicó una encuesta web, auto-administrada. Se analizaron las frecuencias absolutas y relativas porcentuales y sus intervalos de confianza (95 %). Se estimaron modelos logísticos binarios para las variables dicotómicas y modelos logísticos multinomiales para «dificultad para conciliar el sueño». Resultados. En relación a los elementos de ansiedad, 27,1 % (IC 95 % 24,8-29,3) y 31,0 % (IC 95 % 28-33,3) respondieron sentirse ansiosos en el primer y segundo corte, respectivamente. El 19,9 % (IC 95 % 17,6 - 21,7) en el primer corte, mientras que el 31,4 % (IC 95 % 20,06-33,89) lo confirmaron en el segundo. El nivel educativo medio se asoció con la presencia de ansiedad (p < 0,001), mientras el bajo se asoció con tristeza (p = 0,005). Se observó un efecto protector en hogares con más de cinco miembros para la variable tristeza con un OR de 0,41 (IC 95 % 0,22 - 0,75). Se encontró relación entre el género femenino y la presencia de ansiedad y tristeza. Los niveles educativos medio y alto se vieron relacionados con la presencia de ansiedad y la tristeza se asoció con el desempleo. Los trastornos del sueño se asociaron al género femenino, desempleo y enfermedades no transmisibles.Conclusión. Los trastornos de ansiedad, la afectación del sueño y los sentimientos de tristeza fueron prevalentes, las familias de mayor número de miembros tuvieron un efecto protector sobre estas manifestaciones

Authors: Santos Dayane Souza , Silva Camila Nunes da , Navarro Fernanda Flores
Published: July 2023

Desde os primórdios da humanidade, os medicamentos sempre foram necessários para se combater a maioria das enfermidades. Com o passar dos anos, pesquisas impulsionaram uma evolução no ramo da Farmácia, promovendo a compreensão dos mecanismos moleculares, celulares e homeostáticos relacionados à saúde e à doença. No mercado brasileiro, os medicamentos são divididos em categorias, como medicamentos de referência, genéricos e equivalentes. No Brasil, o SUS garante medicamentos com acesso igualitário, caracterizando uma importante estratégia para o controle de doenças. Dessa forma, o presente estudo teve como objetivo, analisar o entendimento da população quanto à intercambialidade e ao crescimento dos medicamentos genéricos. Para isso, foram utilizadas fontes que abordaram a intercambialidade e o comportamento da população perante o tema, visando ao papel do profissional farmacêutico e à assistência farmacêutica que contribui para que a intercambialidade seja mais que uma opção rentável e segura, garantindo também o tratamento adequado e o uso racional de medicamentos. Durante as pesquisas realizadas para este estudo, foi constatado que o consumo de medicamentos por pessoas do sexo feminino é mais evidente, e que a escolaridade, a qualidade e o preço mais acessível são fatores que contribuem para a escolha do medicamento genérico. Conclui-se que, diante do contexto de desigualdade financeira no país e do envelhecimento da população, surge a necessidade da implantação de políticas públicas e novos programas de incentivo aos medicamentos genéricos e similares, sendo que, esse último, não é reconhecido pela população, o que leva à prática da intercambialidade indevida.

Organizational and Socio-Psychological Difficulties of Management of Patients with Chlamydia Infection
Authors: Fedorova Anna
Published: July 2023

Lack of detection of chlamydia infection does not correspond to the high prevalence of its clinical manifestations. It is associated with a frequent asymptomatic course, the prevalence of persistent forms of infection and difficulties in their diagnosis. Unification of approaches to diagnosis and therapy of chlamydial infections without taking into account the topical diagnosis leads to insufficient therapy. It is difficult to find a balance between the need for long-term antibiotic therapy for chlamydial persistence and the dangers of its consequences. Difficulties in the treatment of chlamydia infection are also associated with socio-psychological factors: low efficiency and even inexpediency of etiotropic therapy of chlamydia in polygamous relationships, promiscuous behavior; poor synchronization of partner therapy, often treating only one partner in a couple; orientation of patients towards short-term “pill” therapy, which is not sufficiently effective for chronic persistent chlamydia with significant morphological changes in the genitals; low compliance of male partners to therapy in a couple “by contact” in the absence of clinically apparent manifestations; peculiarities of public consciousness regarding chlamydia infection. As a result, therapy often only stops exacerbations of inflammation and does not eliminate the infection completely.

Aplicación del principio de oportunidad en los delitos de conducción en estado de ebriedad y su relación con la carga procesal de la primera fiscalía provincial penal corporativa de Ica, año 2022
Authors:   , Cárdenas Donayre Cristhian Miguel , Durand Siguas Efraín Aristedes
Published: July 2023

Dentro de los delitos considerados como aquellos que atentan contra la tranquilidad pública, el de conducción en estado de ebriedad es uno de los más comunes, pues en su propia naturaleza está el ser un delito de probabilidad, es decir, que no necesita afectar algún bien jurídico sino exponerlo a un daño debido a la ingesta de alcohol por parte del autor sobre los límites legales establecidos para conducir. Durante 2020, por ejemplo, se reportó casi cuarenta mil accidentes de tránsito de los cuales un porcentaje cercano al 37% era por causas referidas al estado de ebriedad de quienes conducían. Dado que la conducción en estado de ebriedad se encuentra sancionada en nuestro sistema penal, corresponde que para su proceso de acreditación participen tanto el Ministerio Público como el Poder Judicial, a través del fiscal, como titular de la acción penal, así como el juez, en su calidad de director del proceso y único investido del poder punitivo y sancionador. Es por ello que nuestro sistema procesal penal contiene herramientas que permiten agilizar el proceso y terminarlo anticipadamente ante el reconocimiento del autor del delito evitando la condena y reparando el daño ocasionado, para lo cual el Ministerio Público deberá abstenerse de la acción penal. En el presente estudio, buscamos analizar al principio de oportunidad aplicado a los delitos de conducción en estado de ebriedad, así como aquella relación que este tenga con la carga procesal en sede fiscal, con precisión en la primera fiscalía provincial penal corporativa de Ica, durante el año 2022.

Host sex disparity and viral genotype dependence of the glycosylation level of small Hepatitis B surface protein in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic Hepatitis B
Authors: Ou Guomin , Zhao Chengyu , Deng Juan , Zhuang Hui , Xiang Kuanhui , Li Tong
Published: July 2023

Background

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) consists of six components of large/middle/small HBs proteins (L/M/SHBs) with non-glycosylated (ng)- or glycosylated (g)- isomers at sN146 in their shared S domain. g-SHBs plays a crucial role in hepatitis B virus (HBV) secretion. However, the host and viral factors impacting sN146 status in natural HBV infection remain revealed mainly due to the technical difficulty in quantifying g-SHBs and ng-SHBs in serum samples.

Methods

To establish a standardized Western blot (WB) assay (WB-HBs) for quantifying the SHBs isomers in serum samples of 328 untreated hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with genotype B or C HBV infection. The 1.3-mer HBV genotype B or C plasmids were transiently transfected into HepG2 cells for in vitro study.

Results

The median level of ng-SHBs was significantly higher than that of g-SHBs (N = 328) (2.6 vs. 2.0 log10, P < 0.0001). The median g-/ng-SHBs ratio in female patients (N = 75) was significantly higher than that of male patients (N = 253) (0.35 vs. 0.31, P < 0.01) and the median g-/ng-SHBs ratio in genotype C patients (N = 203) was significantly higher than that of the genotype B patients (N = 125) (0.33 vs. 0.29, P < 0.0001).

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that the g-/ng-SHBs ratio is host-sex-biased and viral genotype dependent in treatment naïve patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B, which indicates the glycosylation of SHBs could be regulated by both host and viral factors. The change of ratio may reflect the fitness of HBV in patients, which deserves further investigation in a variety of cohorts such as patients with interferon or nucleos(t)ide analogues treatment.
Chronic neck pain is associated with increased mortality in individuals with osteoarthritis: results from the NHANES database prospective cohort study
Authors: Chen Xi , Gong Lihua , Li Cheng , Wang Siyuan , Zhou Yixin
Published: July 2023

Background

Neck pain (NP) is a common symptom reported in the elderly. However, no study has examined the relationship between NP and osteoarthritis (OA) so far, and this study aimed to investigate the association of neck pain with the prevalence and mortality of OA.

Methods

A total of 5965 participants were included in this cohort study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data set of the USA (NHANES). Death outcomes follow-up information was ascertained by linkage to National Death Index (NDI). The association between NP and OA was studied by multi-various logistic regression models after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Cox proportional hazards models were used to elucidate the relationship between NP and all-cause mortality in OA patients.

Results

Among all participants, 8.18% had osteoarthritis, and 5.92% suffered from neck pain. Neck pain was associated with osteoarthritis [1.932 (1.232, 3.028), p < 0.01], which still reminded significant after adjustments [2.519 (1.325, 4.788), p < 0.01] and stratified analysis by sex, race, and smoke status. In OA patients, chronic neck pain (over 1 year) was significantly associated with higher risks of all-cause mortality before [2.94 (1.61, 5.37), p < 0.01] and after adjustment [3.30 (1.23, 45.85), p < 0.05].

Conclusion

Neck pain was strongly associated with osteoarthritis. Moreover, chronic neck pain over 1 year significantly increased the mortality of OA patients. Our study demonstrates the need to screen osteoarthritis in the neck pain population and select a more appropriate treatment strategy promptly for those patients.

Abstract. Suwardi AB, Syamsuardi, Mukhtar E, Nurainas. 2023. The diversity and regional conservation status of wild edible fruit species in Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 3245-3257. Sumatra Island is recognized as the distribution center of tropical fruit species in Indonesia. However, increased human activity threatens the existence of edible wild fruit plants in nature. The study aims to assess the diversity and regional conservation status of wild edible fruit plant species in Sumatra, Indonesia. The study was conducted in four provinces: West Sumatra, Riau, Jambi, and Bengkulu. For the sampling, a modified line transect method was used. A total of 331 wild edible fruit plant species at four studied sites in Sumatra consisted of 73 families. The highest number of fruit plant species was recorded in West Sumatra Province, i.e., 176 species, followed by Jambi (172 species), Riau (121 species), and Bengkulu (76 species). The diversity of wild edible fruit plant species was higher in West Sumatra Province (3.85) but lower in Riau Province (3.25). Artocarpus integer (Thunb.) Merr., Baccaurea lanceolata (Miq.) Müll.Arg., Baccaurea macrocarpa (Miq.) Müll.Arg., Baccaurea polyneura Hook.f., Garcinia atroviridis Griff. ex T.Anderson, Garcinia xanthochymus Hook.fil. ex J.Anderson, Mangifera foetida Lour., Mangifera laurina Blume, Mangifera odorata Griff., and Pometia pinnata J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. were the most frequently recorded wild fruit plant species in all of the study area. However, 74 wild edible fruit plant species were recorded only in West Sumatra, 45 in Riau, 79 in Jambi, and 9 in Bengkulu. Among the 331 wild edible fruit species in the present study, 1 taxon was classified as endangered (0.30%), 9 taxa (2.72%) as vulnerable, 11 taxa (3.32%) as near threatened, and 139 taxa (41.99%) as least concern, and 171 taxa (51.67%) as Data Deficient.

The cinematography of the novel “Sasha, hello!” Dmitry Danilov
Authors: Kuryaev Ilgam R.
Published: July 2023

The implementation of aspects of literary cinematography in Dmitry Danilov’s novel “Sasha, hello!”, which was analyzed using contextual, structuralist methods, the method of holistic analysis of a literary text, is considered. For the analysis, the concepts of “literary cinematography”, “audiovisuality”, “edit”, “plot”, “chronotope”, “eye” and “look”, “image of the author”, “reader-viewer” are used, the specifics of cinema as a fact of culture. It is substantiated that literary and cinematic codes are intertwined within the framework of this work. The specificity of the implementation of the principle of audiovisuality in the text is considered. It is revealed that the text is built according to the assembly principle. To construct the plot, the writer uses, among other things, emphatically cinematic plot. At the same time, the emphasized visibility of history, the orientation towards the creation of visible spaces allows the writer to create a specific absurdist narrative. The use of the vocabulary of the “Kino” group and the inclusion of the image of the author in the form of a conditional director-screenwriter transform the very status of a literary text. This makes it possible to present a literary work as an analogue of a motion picture, while actualizing the interactive moment, including the reader-viewer in the unfolding of the text. The materials of the study and its conclusions can be used not only to analyze other works by D. Danilov, but also in the analysis of modern domestic and world literature in the context of literary cinematography and the relationship between literature and cinema.
Risk of cancer survivors with second primary thyroid cancer: an analysis of data from the SEER database
Authors: Yuan Yewei , Sun Peng , Xiao Hualin , Li Lingfan , Li Junyan , Ai Xiang
Published: July 2023

Background
A risk factor for thyroid cancer (TC) may be a history of former cancer and cancer therapy. The precise risk of a second primary thyroid carcinoma has not yet been revealed. In this study, we evaluated Standardized Incidence Ratios (SIRs) of second primary thyroid cancer (SPTC) with consideration of different conditions and further analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and survival of these patients.
Methods
The cohort was selected from the SEER Program between 2000 and 2018. The standardized incidence ratios, morbidity risk, clinicopathological features, and survival of second primary thyroid carcinoma were analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance covariates. Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression were performed to assess the survival outcomes.
Results
Overall, 7,066 patients with SPTC and 83,113 patients with primary TC were identified. The SIR of TC in tumor patients was 1.51/10000, statistically higher than the natural population (0.94/10000, P < 0.05). The most significant tumors contributing to the increased SIRs of SPTC were acute lymphocytic leukemia (3.49/10000), Hodgkin’s lymphoma-nodal (3.29/10000), salivary gland cancer (3.23/10000), and kidney and renal pelvis cancer (3.05/10000). The incidence of TC increased significantly in tumor patients who received radiotherapy/ chemotherapy before age 35. The age at diagnosis of the SPTC was much older than the primary TC (64.01 vs. 49.55 years, p < 0.001). The SPTC had a higher percentage of histological grades 3/4 (23.14% vs. 15.19%, p < 0.001). Survival analyses demonstrated a worse prognosis for the SPTC group compared to the primary TC group. But after PSM, the survival outcomes of the two groups tended to be equivalent (P = 0.584).
Conclusions
The SIRs of TC are higher in tumor patients. The most significant factors contributing to the increased risk of SPTC were some specific former tumors and acceptance of radiotherapy/ chemotherapy before age 35. There was no significant difference in survival between SPTC and primary TC.
The Course of COVID: How the Pandemic Changed Art Therapy Practice
Authors: Sharpe Deborah , Hinz Lisa
Published: July 2023

This study explored how the global COVID-19 pandemic changed the ways in which art therapists use art in their therapeutic practice. Art has repeatedly been linked to healing in a variety of settings, but generally art therapists have been accustomed to conducting therapy sessions in person. Prior to the pandemic most art therapists preferred in-person sessions for a variety of therapeutic reasons. Although there are clearly downsides to meeting remotely, there have been unforeseen advantages, as well. The present study surveyed 74 art therapists from around the world to understand the changes to art therapy practice that occurred during and after COVID-19. A selection of nine individuals participated in follow-up interviews to clarify and amplify survey findings. Changes to art therapeutic practices, as well as the challenges and benefits of conducting art remotely were highlighted in quantitative and qualitative data analyses. Qualitative data analysis highlighted art therapists’ creativity and resilience in adapting their practices to the new telehealth format. Telehealth practices initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic are here to stay. This study generated a list of practical suggestions for working effectively with art therapy clients at a distance. Future research should focus on creating best practice guidelines for art therapists who will continue to provide online therapy services.

Authors: Hasani Al-Ameri Maad
Published: July 2023

The current study intends to assess the effectiveness of combining honey and skim milk in an extender on individual motility, livability, and abnormalities of cauda epididymal Awassi ram spermatozoa after diluting and cooling. Nine pairs of testicles Awassi rams were collected after the slaughter at the abattoir. Honey and skim milk combined were prepared. The cauda epididymal spermatozoa were divided into four equal parts and diluted in a Tris-based extender. (Control, basic diluents), HSM1 (basic diluents containing 0.5 ml honey and 9.5ml skim milk), HSM2 (basic diluents containing 1 ml honey and 9ml skim milk), HSM3 (basic diluents containing 1.5 ml honey and 8.5ml skim milk) and cooled 4ºC for evaluation of the percentages of sperm individual motility, live and abnormalities spermatozoa (including head, midpiece, and tail) at 0, 24, 48, and 72h. Results showed that individual motility spermatozoa preserved (P<0.05) in HSM1 and HSM2 groups at 24h and 48h. Livability spermatozoa were increased (P<0.05) in the HSM1 group at 48h and 72h. Groups HSM1, HSM2, and HSM3 decreased total abnormalities (P<0.05) at 48 h and 72h while decreasing tail abnormalities (P<0.05) at 24h and 48h than control. The HSM2 group was lower (P<0.05) in head abnormality of spermatozoa at 48 h, whereas the HSM1 group was at 72 h. In conclusion, the nourishing and protective effects of lower honey concentrations in extender favorably impact cauda epididymal spermatozoa of Awassi rams.

Authors: Lyu Jianxin , Chen Linjie , Fu Yu , He Xiaobai , Kong Fei , fang Quan , Liu Yanxin , Zhang Yan , Chen Liang
Published: July 2023

Background: Respiratory infectious viruses, such as the novel
coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, are highly transmissible and undergo rapid
genetic evolution, which leads to the emergence of multiple subtypes
with diverse mutation patterns. However, detecting and differentiating
between these subtypes present significant challenges in the field of
respiratory virus surveillance. Methods: To address these challenges, we
developed a novel detection approach that integrates amplification
refractory mutation system PCR (ARMS-PCR) with molecular beacon probes.
The ARMS-PCR primers were designed to selectively amplify specific
subtypes by targeting adjacent mutation sites, while the molecular
beacon probes allowed for further discrimination of the amplified
products. This combined approach effectively addressed the issues of
non-specific binding and improved detection accuracy. Results: Our
method demonstrated high specificity and sensitivity in the
identification and differentiation of respiratory virus subtypes. Using
real-time fluorescence PCR, we achieved a detection limit of
approximately 106 copies/mL. Moreover, through the direct analysis of
fluorescence signals, we further enhanced the sensitivity to a detection
limit of 104 copies/mL. This robust and accurate detection approach is
capable of identifying and differentiating between respiratory virus
subtypes, including those with complex mutation patterns. Conclusions:
The integration of ARMS-PCR and molecular beacon probes is a reliable
and efficient solution for the rapid and precise monitoring of evolving
respiratory infectious diseases, and it has the potential to facilitate
early diagnosis and effective control measures. Further research is
needed to expand the application of this detection method to other
respiratory viruses and optimize its workflow for clinical and public
health settings.
European Investors and Land Acquisitions in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Krukowska Monika
Published: July 2023

The article examines the European share in large-scale land acquisitions in Sub-Saharan Africa. The paper aims to identify correlation between biofuels policy and large-scale land acquisitions in Sub-Saharan Africa and the consequences of this phenomenon. It first identifies the backgrounds that caused the increased interest in biofuel production and, consequently, African land acquisition in recent years. Then, it examines growth in the number of land transactions that take place on the continent. Finally, the paper investigates the share of European capital in land transactions. The last section outlines the consequences of this phenomenon and provides a set of recommendations to address land policies in African developing countries.
Process of sovietisation of tertiary education in Slovakia in 1945-1956
Authors: Filčáková Miriama
Published: July 2023

The socio-political events of 1945-1956 are characterised by several phenomena that significantly marked the formation of tertiary education in Slovakia and determined its subsequent development. In the first years after the end of the war, attempts at political, economic, or cultural contacts with Western countries could still be observed in several Central European countries for some time. Universities maintained their traditional internal academic structure, organisation of student enrolment, content of studies, etc. This situation was mainly fostered by the needs of the country's reconstruction, which at the same time masked the political pragmatism of the new, but not yet fully strengthened, people's democratic regimes. Gradually, they became a priority concern of the Communist Party, whose aim was to gain ideological control over them. Soviet influence in education was exercised in the spirit of communist ideology, centralized state planning, and a bureaucratically controlled process of education marked by ideological influences. The paper aims to analyse the basic changes in educational models and specific features of Slovak higher education systems after the bipolar division of the world.
Reasonable duration of the tax process
Authors: Blatt Daniel Soriano
Published: July 2023

This article aims to see the role of the principle of reasonable duration of the process in the constitutional and procedural tax scope, as well as its interconnection with the field of Human Rights. The principle of reasonable duration of the process is based on several legal diplomas, among them the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the American Convention on Human Rights. A comparison was made with other legal systems, such as Italian and Spanish, where it was possible to verify that said principle is part of their respective constitutional texts. In Brazil, the principle of reasonable duration of proceedings is supported by the Federal Constitution, as well as by infraconstitutional legislation. Finally, it was possible to verify that, despite the advances, the existing norms combat the tax authorities’ slowness, but not the inertia of the Judiciary, leading to constant violations of this fundamental principle in the tax field and in the world of Law as a whole.

Published: July 2023

Introduction

This study explored the effects of Qigong exercises on upper extremity muscle activity, balance function, and quality of life in stroke patients.

Methods

A total of 30 stroke patients were randomly allocated to either control group or Qigong group. In the Qigong group, participants completed an intervention of Qigong Baduanjin over 8 weeks. Data on the electromyographic activities of the biceps brachii muscle, triceps brachii muscle, and muscle coordination were obtained using surface electromyography and the co-contraction ratio (CCR). Data on balance were obtained using the PK254P balance function detection system. Quality of life was measured using the brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life scale.

Results

The results for the Qigong group showed a significant difference in CCR of the triceps brachii muscle (p < 0.01). Concerning balance (assessed using the open-eye test), there was a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in Y-axis trajectory deviations and the Y-axis speed in the Qigong group. In the closed-eye test, the peripheral area of the Qigong group was significantly lower than that of the control group (p < 0.05). Significant differences were also observed in physical health (p < 0.05), psychological health (p < 0.01), environment (p < 0.01), and the total scores for quality of life (p < 0.01) in the Qigong group.

Discussion

We conclude that Qigong exercises improve the quality of life in stroke patients and have positive effects on the coordination of limb extremities and balance function.
La directive 2015/412/UE : à la recherche d’un équilibre entre diversité et uniformité
Authors: Balias Georgios
Published: July 2023

The recent amendment process of EU legislation on GMOs allows Member States to restrict or prohibit the cultivation of GMOs on their territory for reasons others than health or environment protection. The amending Directive 2015/ 412 is presented as a means to overcome the deadlock in GMO decision making. However, one may raise doubts on whether new article 26b of Directive 2001/ 18/ EC may provide for an adequate solution, since measures adopted on its ground are likely to be in non-compliance with EU or WTO law. Moreover, the amending directive remains in line with the previous legislative framework, as far as is concerned on the one hand, the disregard for scientific uncertainty and disagreement and, on the other hand, the artificial distinction between risk assessment and risk management, failing to promote more comprehensive and democratic scientific opinions and political decisions.

Authors: Khatri Mahmadisha , Patel Sudhendu , Shah Vidhi
Published: July 2023

Background: Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality in hospitalized patients and is frequently encountered in the intensive
care setting. In the present study, we aim to assess the causes and clinical outcomes of patients admitted to our inpatient ward and intensive care unit
(ICUs) with hyponatremia. Methods: This prospective observation study was conducted in the Department of Family Medicine at a tertiary care
hospital in Ahmedabad. In this study, all the patients aged more than 18 years, irrespective of gender admitted to our department and diagnosed with
hyponatremia (serum sodium < 135 mmol/L) were included. Results: The most common presenting complaint was abnormal behavior (41.3%),
21.7% were drowsy, Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) was the most common cause, 44.1% had severe hyponatremia,
44.1% were hypervolemic, and 23.1% stayed in ICU for more than 5 days. Mortality rate was 20.2% and was not associated with severity of
hyponatremia, though it was high in patients with severe hyponatremia. Older age group, female gender, past medical history of hypertension,
unconscious state at presentation, presenting complaints of abnormal behavior, edema on examination and ICU stay more than 5 days was
signicantly associated with mortality among hyponatremia patients. Conclusion: Careful history and physical examination should be conducted
so as to determine the time of onset and severity of symptoms. Patients with severe hyponatremia should be monitored closely in ICU.
NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR PROSTHETIC AND ORTHOTIC SERVICES IN TANZANIA.
Authors: J. Mwigirwa E.
Published: July 2023

Despite the growing commitment in developing countries to achieve
the “universal health coverage” the situation has not been better among
vulnerable physically disabled groups when seeking for their
specialized health care. The cost for assistive technologies particularly
Prosthetic and Orthotic services remains catastrophic and way beyond
the accessibility scope for average Tanzanians with mobility related
disabilities. Besides, nancial related constraints have been rarely
discussed in studies researching for barriers to healthcare faced by
people with disabilities
Tell Your Story to No One: ‘Re-Servicing’ Virtue in the Magdalen House
Authors: Greenup Sylvia
Published: July 2023

Thearticle probes the amphibious character of the ‘slippery’ servant-maid who methodically migrates between servitude and prostitution. It focuses in particular on the revision of the servant-maid/prostitute in the 1759 novel The Histories of Some of the Penitents in the Magdalen House, published concomitantly with the opening of the Magdalen Hospital for Penitent Prostitutes as an aid in its object of re-training fallen women for domestic service. The literary re-imagining of Histories is analysed here through its engagement with the most significant topoi in master-servant relations recurring in both anti-servant literature and domestic conduct manuals as well as within the larger context of the so-called Pamela controversy.
