Published: November 2024

The aim of this study is to determine if mathematical resilience and capacity for creative thought are related among eighth-grade mathematics students at SMP Negeri 1 Batang Kuis. This study employs a quantitative research design with a descriptive technique to gather data on students' proficiency in solving mathematical problems using rectangular flat materials. The study's population comprises all grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Batang Kuis, which consists of 10 classes. From this population, a sample of 30 students from class VIII-7 was selected and categorized into three levels of mathematical resilience: high, medium, and low. The mathematical creative thinking skills of these 30 students were subsequently analyzed to explore the relationship between mathematical resilience and creative thinking abilities using specific instruments. The instruments employed include the Mathematical Resilience Test and the Mathematical Creativity Test. The analysis of mathematical creative thinking skills is based on four indicators: (1) fluency of thinking, (2) flexibility of thinking, (3) originality of thinking, and (4) elaboration ability. The results from the simple regression analysis yielded the regression equation \(Y = 0.387 + 0.3867X\). In this equation, the coefficient for X is positive, indicating a positive linear relationship between the two variables. Additionally, the calculation of the simple correlation coefficient resulted in \(R_{cal} = 0.528\), which suggests a moderate correlation. This indicates that the ability to think creatively in mathematics is influenced by 27.9% of the mathematical resilience among Grade VIII students when solving problems related to rectangular flat shapes

Authors: Khatoon Sanweer , Kumar Naresh
Published: November 2024

Despite substantial advances in the diagnostics and treatment of diseases, parasitic infections are a major global health issue causing significant mortality and morbidity. Currently, chemotherapeutic antiprotozoal drugs, anthelmintic and anti-ectoparasitic agents are used to treat, but resistance to these drugs has developed due to overuse. In this scenario, nanoparticles are proving a major breakthrough in the treatment and control of parasitic diseases. In the last decade, there has been enormous development in the field of nano medicine for parasitic control. Gold and silver nanoparticles have shown promising results in the treatments of various types of parasitic infections. These nanoparticles are synthesized through the use of various conventional and molecular technologies and have shown great efficacy. They work in different ways that include damaging the parasite membrane, DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) disruption, protein synthesis inhibition and freeradical formation. These agents are effective against intracellular parasites as well. Other nanoparticles, such as iron, nickel, zinc and platinum, have also shown good results in the treatment and control of parasitic infections No doubt in future it will become the future of modern drug development
Microbial Mediated Nanoparticles to Clean Environmental Contaminants: A Green Nano-bioremediation Approach
Authors: Gulia Jyoti , Lath Amit , Singh Nater Pal , Santal Anita Rani
Published: November 2024

The modern environment is highly contaminated with a wide range of
dangerous pollutants, including heavy metals, dyes, and waste products from
various industries that contain synthetic chemicals resulting from human
activities (Santal et al., 2016 and 2022). Increased industrial development and agricultural growth have led to the release of many chemicals into the land,
water, and air. The primary reasons for environmental contamination are the
reckless use of pesticides, veterinary drugs, and hazardous substances in various
consumer goods, as well as the discharge of industrial waste into water bodies.
Unidentified systemic pollutants can't be broken down naturally and can cause
harm to living organisms when they enter the food chain. These pollutants can
accumulate in higher species via biomagnification and pose a significant risk to
life (Huang et al., 2021). These hazardous substances can endure for extended
periods in environmental matrices due to their elemental composition. Effluents
containing polyethylenes, petroleum, and trace metals are detrimental to the
environment. The ecology is negatively affected by such effluents. Pollutants
known as heavy metals are found in the Earth's crust.

Establishing a Gynecology Student-Run Free Clinic: A Joint Medical Student and Resident Physician Initiative
Authors: Lee David , Loh Tiffany , Blackmond Nicholas , George Sarah , Fong Felicia , Quach Kaitlyn , Franz Patricia , Wharton Kurt
Published: November 2024

Dedicated women’s health services are rarely mentioned in the student-run free clinic literature. As society grappled with repeated waves of coronavirus-2019, the number of healthcare professionals decreased across the country and impacted all healthcare settings, including student-run free clinics. In response, a collaboration between medical students and Obstetrics & Gynecology resident physicians at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine and the Gary Burnstein Community Health Clinic established a new gynecology free clinic. This program, under the joint oversight of medical students and resident physicians in addition to attending physician support, provided uninsured women across Southeast Michigan with critical access to healthcare services at a time demand for services was similarly rising. Our clinic emphasized excellence in screening, contraception, and vaccination and, in doing so, provided our patients with evidence-based care and a medical home. Our experience demonstrates student-run free clinics are uniquely positioned to critically expand access to women’s health services. Additionally, the establishment of a joint medical student and resident physician endeavor can further enrich both the educational and patient-care experience.

Background: Physical independence refers to the state of a person who does not need another to carry out activities of daily living. Schizophrenia is among the 10 most disabling diseases.
Objective: Design the comprehensive rehabilitation program for hospitalized adults with schizophrenia.
Methods: Research carried out between January 20, 2018 and February 13, 2022. It integrated techniques and procedures of qualitative and quantitative research. A single group was used. The consultation to specialists was applied. 65 patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia who had more than six months of hospital stay, less than 60 years old and who were not in their acute phase or flare participated. The program was designed and applied in a period of six months with the participation of the mental health team after their training.
Results: After applying the program, the independent category predominated. Cognitive, affective, behavioral improvement was achieved, as well as positive and negative symptoms. Changes are achieved towards higher levels of rehabilitation. Patients satisfied with the treatment received prevailed. The ten specialists consulted considered the program viable.
Conclusions: A comprehensive rehabilitation program for the hospitalized schizophrenic adult was designed. Viable to be applied, which favored the positive changes obtained in the patients studied once it was applied.

Numerous studies have already revealed that prematurity is an extremely traumatic event both for the mother and the infant. The mother is traumatized bodily and psychologically. It seems as a narcissistic wound but also as a repetitive trans-generational scenario with risk for the appearance of post-traumatic stress and postnatal depression. For the new-born, the separation of the mother-infant dyad due to hospitalization has a detrimental role for its psychical evolution. Deprived from the early interactions, visual and sensory, provoke a dysfunction in the process of attachment. Prematurity is also responsible for neonatal morbidity and other pediatric consequences: neurological or feeding difficulties, psycho-motor, visual, respiratory and cognitive. During hospitalization contradictory emotions emerge, towards the professionals in the NICU. More specifically, this case study is extremely representative since it describes the mother-infant separation, the in adaptive corporal exchange as well as Oro-alimentary difficulties, and their symbolization in the family context. Under this framework, we will discuss the following aspects: (a) the observation of the clinical manifestation; (b) the relational dimension and function of the symptom; and (c) the therapeutic intervention during clinical sessions.
Insilco Approach for Unraveling Flagellin as a Promising Antigen for Next-Gen DNA Vaccines

Published: November 2024

Objective: To identify and characterize the best possible vaccine candidate among entire proteome of Salmonella typhimurium on the basis of its suitability as an immunogen for DNA vaccine development, emphasizing its non-allergenic properties and it’s potential to elicit elevated antibody titers.
Methodology: It was an exploratory, Insilco experimental study. It was performed at the Pathology laboratory, Department of Biotechnology, Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, GC University Lahore, from January 2020 to October 2020.
This study employed the powerful approach of reverse vaccinology to investigate the proteome of Salmonella Typhimurium. Our primary focus was directed towards flagellin, a protein previously considered hypothetical, which bears a striking resemblance to a conserved extracellular phage-encoded counterpart (accession number AEF07831.1).
Results: Total sample size of study was 207(N). Our investigation unveils the remarkable ability of flagellin to elicit both innate and adaptive immune responses. This dual role in orchestrating immune reactions, as predicted by Vaxijen, C-Immsim, Allertop and Properd significantly enhances the potential value of flagellin as a potentially strong DNA vaccine candidate.
Conclusion: With the anticipation of flagellin as a potent immunogen, molecular cloning within a non-pathogenic host, we envision a new paradigm in defense against Salmonella Typhimurium. Nonetheless, the imperative for empirical validation remains, guiding us forward on our journey fueled by the allure of uncharted scientific discovery.

This paper analyzes the implementation of mixed-gender inpatient wards at Security Forces Hospital in Riyadh, KSA, between 2018 and 2023. Historically, hospitals separate wards by gender, leading to operational issues, including appointment cancelations and low bed occupancy rates. This hospital responded by assembling a team to analyze the problem and propose solutions. The key recommendation was to eliminate gender restrictions in wards to allow universal bed access while preserving patient privacy. A descriptive exploratory study design enabled an in-depth analysis of the factors causing admission cancelations and poor bed utilization. Comprehensive hospital data from 2018–2023 permitted an analysis of trends over several years. Implementation of mixed-gender wards eliminated patient cancelations from 1,094 in 2018 to zero and increased midnight bed utilization rates (61% to 79%), indicating enhanced operational efficiency. Crucial factors contributing to success included obtaining executive management support to drive organizational change, actively engaging patients to address cultural sensitivities, specialized training to equip staff for the new model of care, strategic input from nursing administration regarding workflows and staffing, and adapting security practices to ensure patient safety. Key lessons for hospital administrators considering similar initiatives include focusing on patient-centric care, optimizing operational efficiency through improved resource allocation, securing buy-in from organizational leadership, demonstrating cultural competence, investing in education and training for healthcare providers, engaging nursing administration strategically, and updating security protocols to match patient flow. In conclusion, this hospital’s experience illustrates how implementing mixed-gender inpatient units with a flexible, patient-focused approach can transform patient care delivery, augment bed utilization, streamline hospital operations, and nurture an inclusive, culturally sensitive healthcare environment. This multifaceted and collaborative strategy provides a model for healthcare facilities pursuing positive system-wide changes.
Updates on Nutritional Recommendations for Patients with Severe oral Mucositis Secondary to Chemotherapy and Radiation

Oral mucositis is one of the most devastating effects of cancer treatments and creates a significantly negative impact on quality of life for many patients with cancer. Oral mucositis is defined as inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the mouth, throat, and esophagus. Complications from oral mucositis include significant debilitating pain, xerostomia, impaired taste, and increased risk of oral infections. Patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer treatment who experience oral mucositis are at greater risk of developing malnutrition, dehydration, and interruptions within their scheduled cancer treatments. Specifically, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, paclitaxel, and docetaxel are specifically associated with oral mucositis. Additionally, in patients with head and neck cancer who receive radiation therapy, with or without chemotherapy, mucositis is the most common sequelae and often interferes with patients’ nutrition, quality of life, and survival. Currently, clinical guidelines do not have specific endorsements for nutritional interventions. Through adequate hydration and nutritional recommendations, patients ensure success of adequate protein, glutamine, vitamins, honey, and caloric intake necessary for mucosal healing and decreased inflammation. This review particularly elaborates on the most up-to-date nutritional recommendations and interventions for oral mucositis management in adult patients undergoing chemotherapy, with or without concurrent radiation therapy. Additional research must be conducted to determine the safety and practicality of dietary and nutritional recommendations for increased oral mucositis management and mucosal healing.
