Authors:   Form of Public Safety and Culture, Son Hae Kyoung
Published: December 2022

With the recent increase in simulation in the field of health profession education, the standardized guidelines for debriefing are required. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of team-based debriefing in simulation on clinical judgement, critical thinking and learning satisfaction of undergraduate health profession students. This study was conducted from March 2 to April 20, 2022. This study was used a one-group, pretest-posttest, quasi-experimental design. The subjects were third-year students in the department of nursing and dental hygiene at a university in S city. A total of 12 undergraduate students studying health professions wished to voluntary participate in a course called “Senior Care Convergence Clinical Practicum” for this study. The subjects were divided into three small groups with three nursing students and one dental hygiene student, and participated in team-based debriefing in simulation for senior care. Team-based debriefing was based on Tanner’s Clinical Judgement Model (noticing-interpreting-responding-reflecting). Data was collected by a structured questionnaires including clinical judgement rubrics, critical thinking scale and learning satisfaction numeric rating scale (1-10). The pre- and post- surveys took about 5 minutes. Data analysis was performed descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s α coefficient and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test using SPSS Statistics Ver. 22.0. The Results showed that there was a statistically significant increase in the subjects’ clinical judgement (Z=2.76, p=.006) and critical thinking (Z=2.94, p=.003) after participating team-based debriefing in simulation. Especially, posttest value (Mean±SD : 34.33±3.26) of clinical judgement had increased compared to pretest value (Mean±SD : 30.50±1.88), and posttest value (Mean±SD : 106.08±11.03) of critical thinking had increased compared to pretest value (Mean±SD : 98.00±8.75). Learning satisfaction after participating team-based debriefing in simulation was 9.92±0.29 points out of 10 points. Accordingly, this study suggest that team-based debriefing in simulation contribute to enhancing clinical judgement and critical thinking as core competencies of health profession students. Accordingly, this study suggested the future study for development of team-based debriefing guideline, based on these findings.

Authors: Ugrin Irina , Sinka Lászlóné Adamik Erika
Published: December 2022

Bevezetés: Az egészségügyi dolgozók bántalmazásának problémaköre nem újszerű jelenség, ráadásul az utóbbi évtizedekben jelentős emelkedés tapasztalható. A munkahelyi bántalmazásnak kedvezőtlen hatásai vannak a személyzetre, ami jelentősen ronthatja az egészségügyi ellátás minőségét, betegbiztonsági szempontból magas kockázatot rejt, kedvezőtlenül befolyásolhatja a betegelégedettséget. Célkitűzés: A publikáció célja, hogy összefoglalja az egészségügyi intézményekben bekövetkező bántalmazások hátterében álló leggyakoribb általános okokat, felhívja a figyelmet a kockázatértékelés fontosságára és a dolgozói bántalmazás megelőzésében alkalmazható kommunikációs eszközökre. Módszer: A NEVES jelentési rendszerbe érkezett, 137 dolgozói bántalmazás adatainak statisztikai elemzését végeztük el. Az okok feltárásához és a megelőzési lehetőségek azonosításához a klasszikus minőségfejlesztési eszköztárat használtuk, hazai és nemzetközi szakirodalmi kutatást végeztünk, valamint a témában gyakorlati tapasztalattal rendelkező szakértőkkel folytattunk fókuszcsoportos megbeszéléseket. Eredmények: A dolgozókat ért atrocitások legfontosabb okait 12 főbb kategóriába soroltuk. Az esetek jelentős részében a kommunikációval összefüggő problémák felelősek az agresszió bekövetkezéséért. Megbeszélés: A dolgozók nem megfelelő kommunikációja a betegben, vagy a hozzátartozójában feszültséget kelthet, ami bántalmazáshoz vezethet. A dolgozóknak időben fel kell ismerniük a közelgő erőszak jeleit, hogy megfelelő kommunikációval elkerüljék annak bekövetkeztét. Az agresszív viselkedés kockázatát becslő felmérések bevezetése, és a kockázat ismeretében meghozott megelőző intézkedések szintén hozzájárulhatnak a bántalmazások elkerüléséhez. Következtetés: Az események bekövetkezését nem minden esetben lehet elkerülni, az előfordulásuk azonban részben megelőzhető, számuk megfelelő intézkedésekkel csökkenthető. A rendszeres adatgyűjtés és elemzés lehetőséget ad az intézményeknek a fejlesztendő területek meghatározásában és az újabb esetek előfordulásának kivédésében.

Published: December 2022

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mental disorder with mood swings that fluctuate between mania, hypomania, and depression. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in bipolar patients have been studied across the globe, but the results are variable. A very limited research has been conducted in this area in Pakistan. Therefore, the goal of the current investigation was to evaluate CRP in bipolar illness. Moreover any link between CRP and gender was also investigated. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 112 subjects (82 bipolar patients and 30 controls) were included. The patients were randomly selected from Punjab Institute of Mental Health (PIMH) and Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. After the consent of the subjects, venous blood samples were collected. CRP levels were semi-quantitatively estimated by agglutination method. The data obtained was analyzed through SPSS. Results: The difference in the mean CRP level among bipolar and control groups was statistically significant (p = 0.001). Moreover, males had higher CRP levels than females but the difference was non-significant (p=0.134). Comparison of CRP levels among various stages of BD and control showed a significant difference between the groups (p=0.009). Increased CRP levels give an idea about the inflammation and severity of the disease. CRP levels could be of help in the diagnosis and prognosis of BD. Conclusions: The present study suggests a significant association of CRP with bipolar disorder. No significant relation of CRP and gender was depicted.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Gallstone disease, a condition caused by the development of stones in gall bladder, usually presents with pain in upper abdomen, is one of the most common diseases of digestive system. It can be treated by the surgical removal of gall bladder, either through open cholecystectomy or by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (key hole surgery); the latter allows patients to be discharged from hospital on the day of their surgery, a concept known as day case surgery. Material and Methods: It was a descriptive case series in which 100 patients were selected through non probability, consecutive sampling. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. Patients were assessed by anesthetist and consultant surgeon before undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. After surgery, patients were encouraged intake of liquids and were discharged from the hospital as soon as they fulfilled the discharge criteria. Unplanned overnight admissions determined the outcome of this study. Results: 86% patients were discharged on the same day of surgery and 14% patients had an overnight stay after surgery. There were no readmissions but 3% of the patients presented for an unexpected consultation. Post stratification values of overnight admissions with age and BMI were found to be statistically significant while those for gender and duration of symptoms were found to be statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Patient selection is an important factor that affects the outcome of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is mostly an effective procedure. This study will help in the adoption of laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a day case procedure which is an effective way of reducing burden on health care resources. Keywords: Cholecystectomy, day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DCLC), laparoscopic surgery (LC).

Objectives: The present study assessed the frequency of causes of indirect hyperbilirubinemia (IH) requiring exchange transfusion and its immediate adverse events of exchange transfusion in term neonates. Methods: A prospective, observational study was undertaken at the Neonatal ICU of National Institute of Child Health, Karachi between July 2021 and December 2021. Term neonates arriving at the newborn unit of NICH with indirect hyperbilirubinemia were included in this study. All enrolled neonates were monitored for clinical, biochemical, and hematological adverse events for 7 days following exchange transfusion, and a predesigned performa was used to document observations. Results: Among 730 neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia, a total of 63 term neonates underwent exchange transfusion. The most common causes of hyperbilirubinemia were sepsis in 19 (30.2%) patients and ABO incompatibility in 13 (20.6%) patients. The most common adverse events noted were hypokalemia, which occurred in 10 (15.9%) and thrombocytopenia, which occurred in 10 (15.9%) cases. In six patients, sepsis developed. In total, five neonates died while four developed bilirubin encephalopathy. The total serum bilirubin and direct bilirubin among patients were significantly lowered after exchange transfusion (p<0.0001). There were no umbilical catheter-related complications. Bilirubin encephalopathy was present in 4 patients. There were five deaths, but not due to the procedure. Practical implication Conclusion: We highlighted the main causes of indirect hyperbilirubinemia as sepsis and ABO incompatibility in our setting. Furthermore, we also identified the immediate and short-term outcomes of exchange transfusion with a mortality rate of 7.9%. The overall outcome was favorable after the exchange transfusion.

The aim of the present work was to develop and validate a simple UV Spectroscopic method for the determination of Nimesulide, which is the inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis from arachidonic acid and platelet aggregation. It has the ability to exert analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions through various mechanisms (ie, COX independent pathways) and also it inhibits the release of tumour necrosis factor (TNFα) and interleukins, and stops the release of histamine from mast cells and reduce the synthesis of platelet activating factor (PAF) from the basophil cells. The UV visible Spectrophotometric analysis was performed using systronics UV-Spectrophotometer 2704 X visible double beam by using solvent KOH. Detection was performed at a wavelength of 395nm. Method validation was carried out according to ICH Q2R1 guidelines by taking the parameters such as accuracy, linearity, precision, ruggedness, and robustness, LOD and LOQ. The UV spectrophotometric was found linear in the range 5- 25µg/ml. The method was rugged and robust with % relative standard deviation less than 2. The extraction recoveries was found to be higher than 99.19% in all experimental conditions. Based upon the performance characteristics, the proposed method was found accurate, precise, rapid and suitable for the determination of nimesulide for routine analysis.

Fruit and seed evolution in angiosperms
Authors: Luiz Antonio de Souza
Published: December 2022

Angiosperm fruit originates from the ovary of the flower or it develops from the ovary, besides of the carpels, other inflorescence or floral parts may be involved in fruit formation; seed originates from the ovule. Four major classes of fruits are distinguished in angiosperms, viz. multiple fruits, aggregate fruits, schizocarps and simple fruits. Multiple fruits originate from inflorescences; the aggregate fruit comes from a single flower with apocarpous, pluricarpellate and pluripistillate gynoecium; schizocarps originate only from the ovary of a single flower, when ripe can separate into fragments called mericarps; and the simple fruits either are commonly originated from the ovary of a single unipistillate unicarpellate flower or syncarpic pluricarpellate flower. The diversity of seeds is also great among angiosperms, with bitegmic or unitegmic seeds, and alate, arillate, operculate, endothelial, pachychalazal, hairy or sarcotestal seeds. Reflections on fruit evolution are, in fact, very general, selecting a few examples that are restricted to families and genera. Fruit evolution is fundamentally based on changes of gynoecium types and differentiation of the pericarp. Among the hypotheses formulated in the literature, one predicts two main lines of evolution: in the first, there must have been a progressive reduction in the number of carpels that led to monocarpy, thus giving rise to the simple follicle; the second line must have led to a syncarpy, initially a loose adnation, which may have given rise to the capsule. The literature dealing with seed evolution in angiosperm taxa is very vast, but almost always not conclusive.

The Effect of Transitivity, Futurity, and Aspectuality on the Translation of English Present Progressive into Arabic Verbal and Active Participle Counterparts
Authors: Yasin Ayman , Nofal Omar
Published: December 2022

Arabic lacks a specific form for progressive tenses and instead uses the imperfective form ‘jafʕal’ to express habitual and progressive aspects. Arabic also uses an active participle form (AP) to express progressiveness. This paper addresses the effect of transitivity, futurity, and aspectuality on the translation of English present progressive (PP) into Arabic verbal and active participle counterparts. To investigate which of the two forms is used to translate English PP into Arabic, data were collected from 100 students who were studying an elective ‘translation’ course at Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT). The researchers built a questionnaire of 38 English sentences each of which has two main translations: one that uses the imperfective form ‘ja-fʕal’ and another that has an (AP) form, mainly ‘fa:ʕil’ or ‘mu-fʕil’. The participants were asked to rate the acceptability of each sentence on a scale of 0-2. The findings reveal that transitivity and the future reading of the progressive verb affect the translatability of the progressive tenses as imperfective or (AP) form. Transitive verbs are more likely to be translated as imperfective verbs than transitive APs because (AP) does not have as strong verbal properties as lexical verbs. On the other hand, translocative verbs accept (AP) translations fairly enough to refer to future. The findings also reveal that the aspectuality of the verb affects its translation in one of the two main forms mentioned above. (AP) translations of English (PP) become more acceptable when the root of the verb indicates state-of-affair actions, achievements or accomplishments.

ABSTRACT- The effect of mulching materials on soil temperature and horticultural attributes in pear under subtropics of northwestern India was studied for years 2018 and 2019. Different mulches such as paddy straw mulch (PSM), white polythene mulch (WPM) and black polythene mulch (BPM) were applied underneath the canopies of ‘Patharnakh’ pear trees during second week of April. The weedy check (control) and manual weeding plots were kept to compare the relative effects of different mulching materials. The observations on soil temperature were noted at weekly interval while the quality parameters of pear fruit were recorded at harvest. Among the time intervals of soil temperatures, the higher soil temperature was observed with the WPM mulch followed by BPM while the minimum soil temperature was recorded with PSM. The WPM treatment showed soil warming effect from 16th to 28th standard meteorological week (SMW) during both the years of investigation. Different mulches significantly influenced the fruit yield and quality attributes of Patharnakh pear. The maximum fruit weight and fruit yield was observed in PSM, while minimum in control as weedy check. The internal quality of pear fruits in terms of total soluble solids was better in PSM and WPM as compared to fruits from control plants. It can be summarized that the readily available soil moisture and optimum soil temperature conditions during fruit development period improves fruit size particularly under PSM and WPM.

Key words: Soil temperature, mulches, management practices, pear, fruit attributes.

The land surface processes associated with heat and momentum, govern the heating of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) in the morning hours. In the present study, we investigate the structure of wind in ABL depicted in the morning hours and its role in establishing the heating of ABL. For this purpose, the Radiosonde/Radiowind observations collected during the Land Surface Processes Experiment (LASPEX) over the tropical station Anand, India, have been used. It is observed that ABL wind profiles have been changed from one season to another in the form of wind rotation and prominent low level jet (LLJ) stream. During the monsoon season, LLJ played a significant role in establishing the double mixing line structure and elevated wind-backing layer.
