Delayed Symptoms of Rodenticide Poisoning in a 16-Year-Old: A Case Report
Authors:   Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran., Mohammadi Mohammadreza
Published: August 2024

Anticoagulant rodenticides, a key tool in pest control since the 1940s, have undergone significant evolution to overcome resistance and improve efficacy. However, resistance in rodent populations led to the development of second-generation anticoagulants such as Brodifacoum and Difenacoum, which are more potent but pose increased risks to non-target species, including humans. This case report describes the management of a 16-year-old Iranian male who deliberately ingested a super warfarin rodenticide, resulting in severe coagulopathy and delayed clinical presentation. Despite the initial absence of overt symptoms, the patient’s condition required immediate intervention with intravenous vitamin K and blood products, demonstrating the complexity of diagnosing and managing rodenticide poisoning. Recovery was achieved with comprehensive medical and psychological interventions, demonstrating the need for high clinical suspicion and prompt treatment in similar cases. This report highlights the ongoing public health challenges posed by highly potent rodenticides and the critical need for awareness and preparedness among healthcare providers to effectively manage such emergencies.

Authors: Rashid Sobia , Akhlaq Ali Khan Faisal , Gulzar Sadaf , Sami Waqas , Ali Hyder , Kiran Saba
Published: August 2024

Background: Burns are a prevalent worldwide morbidity that frequently results in contractures that impede function and appearance, especially in the axilla, which has a major impact on upper limb mobility. Aim: To compare the functional results of local flaps with skin transplants versus Thoracodorsal artery flaps for axilla repair following burn contracture. Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted. In the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, thirty patients were split into two groups for a prospective comparative study. Group B underwent local flaps utilizing skin grafts, whereas Group A underwent thoracodorsal artery flaps. An analysis was conducted on pre- and post-operative shoulder joint abduction, complications, and demographic factors. Result: The two groups' post-operative shoulder abduction did not significantly differ, according to the results; however, younger patients and those with concomitant conditions including diabetes and hypertension were more likely to benefit from thoracodorsal artery flaps because of increased vascularization. The study discovered that middle-aged individuals typically had local flaps, but younger patients frequently had thoracodorsal artery flaps. Though not statistically significant, the gender distribution revealed a trend with more males obtaining local flaps and more females receiving thoracodorsal artery flaps. Thoracic dorsal artery flaps were substantially more common in patients with diabetes and hypertension. Practical Implication: The higher prevalence of thoracodorsal artery flaps in patients with diabetes and hypertension underscores importance of choosing flaps that provide better vascular support for patients with compromised vascular health. Conclusion: The findings highlight the significance of considering patient-specific criteria when choosing a flap, as thoracodorsal artery flaps provide better vascular support and are advantageous for patients with compromised vascular health. These results emphasize the need for customized surgical planning to improve results in post-burn contracture axilla repair. To enhance patient care and further improve surgical protocols, future research should concentrate on long-term results.
Comparing the characteristics of migratory flows to Spain and other European Union countries
Authors: Cuadrado Pilar , Luis Gómez Ángel , Sastre Teresa
Published: August 2024

Rationale

Spain has become one of the European countries with the highest inflows of immigrants relative to its population. This article compares the characteristics of immigrants to Spain with those to other European Union (EU) countries, by origin, gender, age, education and labour-market contribution.

Takeaways

•In Spain immigrants are mainly from Latin America and are a more homogeneous and culturally proximate group to the destination country than in other European countries. In general, they are older, have a higher educational attainment level and women account for a larger share.

•Since the global financial crisis, the average age and the educational attainment level of immigrants in the four main EU countries has risen, doing so more sharply in Spain.

•The participation rate of non-nationals residing in Spain is one of the highest in the EU and, unlike in other countries, it is higher than that of the nationals, meaning they contribute more to the increase in labour supply.

•Non-national workers tend to be concentrated in activities that do not require a high level of education, although recently there are indications of a slight shift to higher-qualified sectors.

Authors: Araji Ghada , Sajan Sah , Khamis Zaid , Al Achkar Michel , Khan Salman , Al Saidi Ibrahim
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Primary pulmonary diffuse large B cell lymphoma (PPDLBCL) is extremely rare neoplasm representing only 0.5–1% of primary pulmonary malignancies. Patients usually have non-specific clinical presentation and radiologic findings which makes it a challenging diagnosis.

Case Report: We report the case of an 82-year-old man presenting with cough and unintentional weight loss. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed an infra-hilar left lower lobe mass with a mediastinal subcarinal lymph node. Tissue sampling by endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) resulted in the diagnosis of primary pulmonary diffuse large B cell lymphoma. He was started on R-CHOP chemotherapy regimen (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) and attained complete remission after 2 cycles.

Conclusion: The findings from this case indicate that primary pulmonary diffuse large B cell lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of primary pulmonary masses.

Published: August 2024

Background: Prior studies reveal that job satisfaction among nurses has become a growing global concern, revealing varied levels of satisfaction across different countries. Little is known about the role of bureaucratic orientation influencing job satisfaction in the Philippine context. Aim: This study investigated the relationship between bureaucratic orientation and job satisfaction among nurses in a hospital in the Philippines. Design: Using a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 102 registered nurses through structured questionnaires. Results:  Nurses perceived bureaucratic orientation as leaning towards administrative control, with management having primary control over practice, personnel, and resources. The study found a positive significant correlation between administrative control over practice and appropriate support from superiors and with a pleasant working environment. However, administrative control over resources and personnel negatively correlated with nurses' emotions towards work. Greater management participation in committee structures was also negatively associated with nurses' emotional fulfilment and perceived workplace significance. Conclusion: These results highlight the need for participatory management practices enhancing job satisfaction among nurses. The findings of this study can inform hospital administrators and nurses’ additional insight especially in a Philippine healthcare setting on how they can collaboratively support each other to improve nursing practice.

Published: August 2024

This paper explores the potential and challenges associated with Peer-to-Peer (P2P) electrical energy trading, focusing on both theoretical investigation and practical application through a comprehensive case study. By examining the interactions between prosumers (those who both produce and consume energy) and consumers, we employ utility functions to model these interactions. Optimization is achieved using a non-cooperative game theory approach coupled with real-time pricing mechanisms to reflect market dynamics accurately. Our analysis ensures feasibility and reliability by considering crucial factors such as energy balance and grid capacity constraints, which are essential for maintaining system stability. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method. These results highlight the significant potential of P2P trading to enhance overall energy efficiency, promote decentralized energy management, and reduce reliance on traditional energy sources. Furthermore, this study provides detailed insights into maximizing total utility by determining optimal prices and energy trades, ultimately showcasing the transformative impact of P2P trading on real-time energy market operations.

As one of the suggestions on teaching specified in New Curriculum Standard is studying the texts thoroughly and grasping the core teaching content. As part of the curriculum content, text types which fulfil specific social purposes are used to specify what students should be able to achieve with language if they are to meet the stated outcomes of the syllabus. When texts share the same general purpose in the culture, they will often share the same obligatory and optional structural elements and so they belong to the same genre or text type. Then it's much easier to produce an appropriate text when you know its structure, and for this reason awareness of text types is now part of the curriculum. This study, selecting the reading material for senior high school students: A Travel Journal from Unit 3 Book 3 published by People’s Education Press, analyzing the structural elements in this text based on Martin’s genre analysis in the Sydney School, concludes that, to facilitate the cultivation of students’ core literacy, teachers are advised to try to answer three fundamental questions of “what, why and how” during text analysis and teaching design, which are consistent with field, tenor and mode from Halliday’s (1978) Register Theory respectively and can be answered by considering the genre and three meta-functions of language including ideational, interpersonal and textual, which is achieved by transitivity system, voice, polarity; mood, modality system; theme-rheme structure, information structure and textual cohesion.
