Application value of dexmedetomidine in anesthesia for elderly patients undergoing radical colon cancer surgery
Authors: Bu Hui-Min , Zhao Min , Ma Hong-Mei , Tian Xiao-Peng
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Colon cancer presents a substantial risk to the well-being of elderly people worldwide. With advancements in medical technology, surgical treatment has become the primary approach for managing colon cancer patients. However, due to age-related physiological changes, especially a decline in cognitive function, older patients are more susceptible to the effects of surgery and anesthesia, increasing the relative risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Therefore, in the surgical treatment of elderly patients with colon cancer, it is of paramount importance to select an appropriate anesthetic approach to reduce the occurrence of POCD, protect brain function, and improve surgical success rates.

AIM

To explore the value of dexmedetomidine (Dex) in anesthesia for elderly patients undergoing radical colon cancer surgery.

METHODS

One hundred and seventeen patients with colon cancer who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia were selected and divided into two groups: A and B. Group A received Dex before anesthesia induction, and B group received an equivalent amount of normal saline. Changes in the mini-mental state examination, regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2), bispectral index, glucose uptake rate (GluER), lactate production rate (LacPR), serum S100β and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), POCD, and adverse anesthesia reactions were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS

Surgical duration, duration of anesthesia, and intraoperative blood loss were comparable between the two groups (P > 0.05). The overall dosage of anesthetic drugs used in group A, including propofol and remifentanil, was significantly lower than that used in group B (P < 0.05). Group A exhibited higher rSO2 values at the time of endotracheal intubation, 30 min after the start of surgery, and immediately after extubation, higher GluER values and lower LacPR values at the time of endotracheal intubation, 30 min after the start of surgery, immediately after extubation, and 5 min after extubation (P < 0.05). Group A exhibited lower levels of serum S100β and NSE 24 h postoperatively and a lower incidence of cognitive dysfunction on the 1st and 5th postoperative days (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The use of Dex in elderly patients undergoing radical colon cancer surgery helps maintain rSO2 Levels and reduce cerebral metabolic levels and the incidence of anesthesia- and surgery-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Authors: Saito Yukiko , Takeuchi Hirohisa , Tokumine Joho , Sawada Ryuji , Watanabe Kunitaro , Yorozu Tomoko
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is a condition manifesting with pain caused by strangulation of the anterior cutaneous branch of the lower intercostal nerves. This case report aims to provide new insight into the selection of peripheral nerve blocks for the ACNES treatment.

CASE SUMMARY

A 66-year-old woman manifested ACNES after a robot-assisted distal gastrectomy. An ultrasound-guided rectal sheath block was effective for pain triggered by the port scar. However, the sudden severe pain, which radiated laterally from the previous site, remained. A transversus abdominis plane block was performed for the remaining pain and effectively relieved it.

CONCLUSION

In this case, the trocar port was inserted between the rectus and transverse abdominis muscles. The intercostal nerves might have been entrapped on both sides of the rectus and transversus abdominis muscles. Hence, rectus sheath and transverse abdominis plane blocks were required to achieve complete pain relief. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on use of a combination of rectus sheath and transverse abdominis plane blocks for pain relief in ACNES.

Authors: Zhang Li-Fan , Chen Liu-Xiang , Yang Wen-Juan , Hu Bing
Published: August 2024

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of unknown origin that can cause significant disability and morbidity with its progression. Due to the unique nature of CD, surgery is often necessary for many patients during their lifetime, and the incidence of postoperative complications is high, which can affect the prognosis of patients. Therefore, it is essential to identify and manage postoperative complications. Machine learning (ML) has become increasingly important in the medical field, and ML-based models can be used to predict postoperative complications of intestinal resection for CD. Recently, a valuable article titled “Predicting short-term major postoperative complications in intestinal resection for Crohn's disease: A machine learning-based study” was published by Wang et al . We appreciate the authors' creative work, and we are willing to share our views and discuss them with the authors.
The Presbyterii fidelium representative of God’s-Human Covenant in missio Dei
Authors: Thinane S.J
Published: August 2024

The Presbyterii fidelium (Priesthood of the faithful or the priesthood of all believers), is an
important tenet of Protestant-Reformed Christianity and the foundation upon which all
Reformed ecclesiology is built. Early Reformers formulated this doctrine on the basis of
Sacred Scripture (Sola Scriptura) affirming salvation as the grace of God (Sola Gratia) through faith alone (Sola Fide), in the divine sending work of Christ (Solus Christus) and consequently giving all Glory to God alone (Soli Deo Gloria). Although the Missio Dei may have been fully explored, particularly from the resulting perspectives of the 1952 Willingen IMC Conference, its God-human covenant as underscoring the priesthood of all believers is rarely rationalized. Relying on available literature, this paper defines the priesthood of all believers as anchored in Sola scriptura, Sola fide, Solus Christus, and Sola gratia to understand human participation in the missio Dei. While these five solas are correctly expressed within the theological framework of the teachings of Calvinism, abbreviated TULIP, they are considered here from the broad perspective of their emergence in the 16th-century Protestant Reformation. Consequently, this contribution uses the broad perspective of both the Solae doctrines in conjunction with presbyterii fidelium with expressed intention of deepening the understanding of human participation in the context of the Missio Dei. By enriching the field of missiology with
Reformed Knowledge, this article makes a contribution as it discusses the priesthood of all believers in the context of human participation in the Missio Dei.
Beyond Punishment: Unraveling the Integrative Empowerment Model for Youth Violence Prevention
Authors: Agyare Patrick
Published: August 2024

This paper methodically analyses the Integrative Empowerment Model for Youth Violence Prevention (IEMYVP), a model developed by the author. The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the IEMYVP in reducing instances of bullying within educational settings. Employing a hypothetical dataset that reflects the demographic and behavioral dynamics of a primary and secondary school, the study utilizes multiple regression analysis to assess the impacts of the model’s five key components: awareness, empowerment, participation, support systems, and community engagement. Grounded in human rights principles, the IEMYVP incorporates Joseph Raz’s interest theory and John Rawls’ concept of justice as fairness, advocating a comprehensive strategy for bullying prevention. The IEMYVP proposes a holistic approach to bullying prevention by focusing on enhancing awareness, empowering individuals, promoting active participation, supporting victims, and engaging the community. The study’s results indicate that each component notably decreases bullying, with awareness and empowerment showing the most significant impact. These components collectively account for approximately 67.75% of the variation in bullying reduction, demonstrating the model’s strong potential to create safer educational environments. The findings highlight the necessity for empirical testing of the IEMYVP across diverse educational landscapes to refine its elements and verify its effectiveness. The study promotes integrating this model into broader anti-bullying strategies to improve student well-being and security, emphasizing fairness and respect. The paper concludes by advocating for extensive implementation trials, aiming to establish a robust, evidence-based framework for youth violence prevention in schools.

Published: August 2024

The importance of parental engagement in a child’s life is well-documented in academic literature, with studies linking it to positive outcomes such as improved academic achievement, higher self-esteem, better school attendance, enhanced work performance, and improved social behaviour in children. The purpose of this study is to examine the challenges faced by schools in the Thabazimbi circuit due to a lack of parental involvement in their children's education and to suggest potential solutions. This research employed a qualitative design, guided by Epstein's model of parental involvement, to examine practices related to parental involvement in the foundation phase of public primary schools in the Thabazimbi circuit. The study's participants included teachers, Heads of Department (HoDs), school principals, and parents. Purposive sampling method was used to select the study sample. Data was collected through questionnaires, focus group interviews, and face-to-face interviews. The study revealed that parents value parental involvement and wish to engage in their children's education during the foundation phase. However, they reported several obstacles to greater involvement, such as a lack of time and uncertainty about how to assist their children effectively. Additional challenges included high levels of illiteracy and parental substance abuse. The study recommended extensive training for both principals and teachers to enhance parental involvement. Furthermore, the Department of Basic Education and the participating schools should adjust their approaches to better fit parents' life circumstances, supporting their involvement in their children's education.
Alternatives to Establishing Conducive Learning Environment (AECLE) Model for Schools: Assertive Discipline Perspective
Authors: Letuma Motsekiso Calvin
Published: August 2024

Effective classroom management necessitates a continuous adaptation of teachers' tactics, due to the dynamic nature of the classroom, which comprises learners from diverse backgrounds. These individuals are influenced by the continuous changes that occur in response to the dynamic nature of the world. This paper presents a conceptual model framework for managing learner classroom indiscipline. This model is derived from a theoretical framework that was adopted during an empirical investigation, carried out in four Quintile 3 secondary schools in South Africa. The paper exclusively concentrates on a literature review of empirical studies pertaining to indiscipline in South African secondary schools, the studies that either adopted or explored the implementation of the assertive discipline model and relevant South African education legislation and reports from government websites. Based on assertive discipline theory, the alternatives to establishing a conducive learning environment model offers alternate solutions for managing learners' behavioural issues. The core component of the strategy focuses on proactive behaviour management strategies that encourage the school to take full responsibility for student conduct and disregard extraneous influences. The model emphasises implementing a behaviour management strategy that encompasses the articulation of expectations, the establishment of classroom rules, the communication and instruction of these rules to learners, the demonstration and reinforcement of desired behaviour, and the utilisation of consequences.

This community service is motivated by the belief that analyzing questions takes a long time and takes a lot of energy. This is because. The analysis process is often carried out manually using Ms Excel. Teachers have not been trained to analyze the quality of questions using assisted applications. Analysis of the quality of the questions in question includes the level of difficulty, distinguishing power and distractor function of the questions. For this reason, this activity was carried out to recharge teachers' skills in analyzing the quality of question items using the computer program Iteman at Payeti Christian High School. The method used consists of 2 stages, namely: analyzing the quality of question items from the results of the National Examination for class 12 students and providing direct training for teachers to analyze using by the computer program Iteman Version 4.3. Apart from that, open interviews were also conducted and questionnaires were distributed for satisfaction surveys.

Scholarships have a role in improving the quality of a nation's human resources, but the benefits are still not felt equally in Indonesia. The main obstacle is the limited information about scholarships. To overcome this challenge, scholarship counseling activities need to be held regularly to convey information to the community. Sunan Giri University Surabaya initiated tahfidz scholarship counseling as an effort to provide understanding to the community. The main purpose of this counseling is to provide information about tahfidz scholarships offered by Sunan Giri University Surabaya. In addition, this activity provided an opportunity for counseling participants, who this time came from 60 students of MA Salafiyah Syafi'iyah Seblak Jombang, to ask questions directly to the speakers about the scholarship registration process. In this way, participants were able to understand in detail the intricacies of the tahfidz scholarship program. The tahfidz scholarship counseling organized by Sunan Giri University Surabaya was not only informative but also useful. Participants not only gained knowledge about the requirements and benefits of the tahfidz scholarship, but were also inspired to take a step by applying for the scholarship. Through this activity, it is hoped that counseling participants can become information ambassadors in their environment and invite more individuals to take advantage of tahfidz scholarship opportunities. Thus, the tahfidz scholarship outreach is not only a source of information, but also an effective motivational tool to increase community participation in achieving educational opportunities. With this activity, the benefits of the tahfidz scholarship can be felt more evenly in the community, bringing a positive impact on the development of the quality of human resources and education in Indonesia.
