Published: July 2024

Este artigo destaca a importância da Educação para a Redução de Riscos e Desastres (ERRD) e sua interação com a Educação Ambiental (EA) nas escolas e comunidades, a fim de promover o diálogo sobre riscos e desastres, suas consequências no cotidiano e como as escolas podem contribuir significativamente nessa construção. A integração da ERRD e EA é fundamental para formar conhecimentos que incentivem mudanças de comportamento em prol da transformação socioambiental, sendo viabilizado através de práticas sociopedagógicas, tanto na educação formal quanto não formal. O processo de ensino-aprendizagem fortalece o diálogo e amplia a percepção sobre a degradação ambiental e a responsabilidade coletiva frente às mudanças climáticas e aos impactos dos desastres no cotidiano das pessoas. Foram considerados elementos teórico-conceituais para discutir a implementação da ERRD e EA, enfatizando valores como autonomia, responsabilidade, resiliência, além de princípios éticos, democráticos, inclusivos, sustentáveis e solidários. A pesquisa foi realizada com estudantes que participam do Núcleo Comunitário de Proteção e Defesa Civil (NUPDEC) na comunidade do Retiro e Alto do Vento, localizadas em áreas de risco de Jaboatão dos Guararapes-PE, relacionando conhecimentos científicos com aprendizados práticos. Oficinas de roda de conversa baseadas nas experiências dos estudantes em relação aos riscos e desastres reforçaram os aprendizados por meio da práxis. As ações promoveram uma reflexão crítica sobre a “naturalização dos riscos” e suas repercussões na vida, incentivando a adoção de medidas preventivas e mitigadoras no âmbito individual e coletivo. Essa análise crítica permitiu aos participantes compreender melhor as causas subjacentes dos desastres, identificar vulnerabilidades específicas da comunidade e engajar-se de forma proativa na promoção de mudanças de comportamento quanto as ações socioambientais e atitudes relacionadas a autoproteção em situação de emergência.

Análise das produções sobre distorção idade/ano e Políticas Públicas sobre a defasagem na aprendizagem e correção do fluxo escolar
Authors: Chiapinoto Andreia Moro , Lunardi Elisiane Machado
Published: July 2024

This article presents a survey of recent productions that deal with the theme of age/year distortion and public policies on the learning gap and correction of the school flow. The research was carried out following the procedures of the "state of knowledge", as proposed by Marília Morosini (2015). A descriptive bibliometric study was carried out, with a qualitative-quantitative approach, using the databases Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations and SciELO Citation Index (Web of Science). After a detailed analysis of the selected studies, it was possible to assess that the age/year distortion indexes have been decreasing over the years, mainly due to the adoption of public policies aimed at this purpose. However, there is still a long way to go, among them, ensuring effective learning and not simply automatic approval.

Authors: Martins de Araújo Moura Simone , Faiad de Moura Walter José
Published: July 2024

Resumo O presente artigo teórico é apresentado para revisitar aspectos da dogmática jurídica que dão suporte aos modelos de contratos de plano de saúde ofertados firmados entre operadoras e consumidores. A abordagem é feita por intermédio da análise sobre as definições de pactos aleatórios e comutativos, como parâmetros que possam orientar certos limites a serem respeitados, sobretudo nos eventos extintivos de tais pactos, para averiguar se está mantida minimamente a noção de que a segurança jurídica não é exclusiva das sociedades empresárias que ofertam tais planos, mas, paritariamente, também é direito da parte vulnerável que a ele adere.

Authors: Venkatesh Ramesh , Jayadev Chaitra , Prabhu Vishma , Gandhi Priyanka , Kathare Rupal , Yadav Naresh K , Choudhary Ayushi , Chhablani Jay
Published: July 2024

Diabetic vitrectomy is a highly intricate surgical procedure performed during the advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy (DR). It is used to treat conditions such as tractional or combined retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and subhyaloid hemorrhage, which are all severe manifestations of proliferative DR. The results of the surgery are uncertain and variable. Vitreoretinal surgery has made significant progress since the early stages of vitrectomy. In the past ten years, advancements in intravitreal pharmacotherapy have emerged, offering new possibilities to improve the surgical results for our patients. Within the realm of medical terminology, an "adjunct" refers to a pharmaceutical or substance employed to aid or expedite the primary therapeutic intervention for a particular ailment. Their introduction has broadened the range of therapeutic choices that are accessible prior to, during, and following surgical procedures. This review article will specifically analyze the pharmacological adjuncts used in diabetic vitrectomy surgery, with a focus on their role in facilitating or aiding specific steps of the procedure. The implementation of this system of categorization offers benefits to the surgeon by allowing them to foresee potential difficulties that may occur during the surgical procedure and to choose the appropriate pharmacological agent to effectively tackle these challenges, thus enhancing surgical success rates.
Mental health in the virtual world: Are we ready for the metaverse era?
Authors: Mamede Tuffy , Lordêlo Patrícia
Published: July 2024

The advent of the metaverse, including virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence, is an undeniable issue that health care scientists need to update. It influences all fields of knowledge, interpersonal relationships, and health. Regarding mental health since the post-coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, it is necessary to consider and understand the potential, possibilities, weaknesses, and consequences arising from and provided by this new scenario. Due to the increasing need for mental health monitoring and care, mental health treatments require in-depth training and preparation to achieve the maximum use of the metaverse advantages and possibilities. Currently, very little is known about the effectiveness of remote mental health treatment, but it is certainly suggested that accessibility and the characteristics associated with the use of metaverse technologies may represent new horizons for accessibility and approach tools, as long as more studies are carried out and more evidence is collected to develop accurate guidelines, safe training, solve ethical concerns, and overcome limitations.
Point-of-care ultrasound in nephrology: A private practice viewpoint
Authors: Sinanan Rajiv , Moshtaghi Afsheen , Koratala Abhilash
Published: July 2024

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a limited ultrasound examination performed by the clinician at the bedside, emerging as a complement to physical examination across various medical specialties. In the field of nephrology, its integration has been gradual, primarily limited to guiding procedures like temporary dialysis catheter placement or, in some cases, diagnostic kidney ultrasounds. In reality, the assessment of hemodynamic status at the bedside holds immense value for nephrologists, yet there exists limited awareness among practitioners regarding its implementation. While there is a growing trend towards incorporating multi-organ POCUS training in fellowship programs, private practice nephrologists remain relatively uninformed. This discussion explores the untapped potential of POCUS as a valuable diagnostic tool in everyday nephrology practice, demonstrating its effectiveness in diverse clinical settings, ranging from medical wards to outpatient dialysis units. Additionally, we delve into the challenges hindering its widespread adoption and consider the future trajectory of this innovative approach.

Authors: Morya Arvind Kumar , Ramesh Prasanna Venkatesh , Nishant Prateek , Kaur Kirandeep , Gurnani Bharat , Heda Aarti , Salodia Sarika
Published: July 2024

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic non-communicable disease with the ability to cause serious microvascular and macrovascular complications throughout the body, including in the eye. Diabetic retinopathy (DR), present in one-third of patients with diabetes, is a vision-threatening complication caused by uncontrolled diabetes, which greatly affects the retinal blood vessels and the light-sensitive inner retina, eventually leading to blindness. Several epidemiological studies elucidate that DR can vary by age of onset, duration, types of diabetes, and ethnicity. Recent studies show that the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy has spread its roots beyond merely being the result of hyperglycemia. The complexity of its etiopathology and diagnosis makes therapeutic intervention challenging. This review throws light on the pathological processes behind DR, the cascade of events that follow it, as well as the available and emerging treatment options.
Palliative care for end-stage liver disease and acute on chronic liver failure: A systematic review
Authors: Mafi Vakaola I Pulotu , Soldera Jonathan
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

End stage liver disease (ESLD) represents a growing health concern characterized by elevated morbidity and mortality, particularly among individual ineligible for liver transplantation. The demand for palliative care (PC) is pronounced in patients grappling with ESLD and acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF). Unfortunately, the historical underutilization of PC in ESLD patients, despite their substantial needs and those of their family caregivers, underscores the imperative of seamlessly integrating PC principles into routine healthcare practices across the entire disease spectrum.

AIM

To comprehensively investigate the evidence surrounding the benefits of incorporating PC into the comprehensive care plan for individuals confronting ESLD and/or ACLF.

METHODS

A systematic search in the Medline (PubMed) database was performed using a predetermined search command, encompassing studies published in English without any restrictions on the publication date. Subsequently, the retrieved studies were manually examined. Simple descriptive analyses were employed to summarize the results.

RESULTS

The search strategies yielded 721 references. Following the final analysis, 32 full-length references met the inclusion criteria and were consequently incorporated into the study. Meticulous data extraction from these 32 studies was undertaken, leading to the execution of a comprehensive narrative systematic review. The review found that PC provides significant benefits, reducing symptom burden, depressive symptoms, readmission rates, and hospital stays. Yet, barriers like the appeal of transplants and misconceptions about PC hinder optimal utilization. Integrating PC early, upon the diagnosis of ESLD and ACLF, regardless of transplant eligibility and availability, improves the quality of life for these patients.

CONCLUSION

Despite the substantial suffering and poor prognosis associated with ESLD and ACLF, where liver transplantation stands as the only curative treatment, albeit largely inaccessible, PC services have been overtly provided too late in the course of the illness. A comprehensive understanding of PC's pivotal role in treating ESLD and ACLF is crucial for overcoming these barriers, involving healthcare providers, patients, and caregivers.
Relation between dysbiosis and inborn errors of immunity
Authors: Özdemir Öner
Published: July 2024

Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) disorders, formerly primary immune deficiency diseases, are a heterogeneous group of disorders with variable hereditary transitions, clinical manifestations, complications and varying disease severity. Many of the clinical symptoms, signs and complications in IEI patients can be attributed to inflammatory and immune dysregulatory processes due to loss of microbial diversity (dysbiosis). For example, in common variable immunodeficiency patients, the diversity of bacteria, but not fungi, in the gut microbiota has been found to be reduced and significantly altered. Again, this was associated with a more severe disease phenotype. Compromise of the STAT3/Th17 pathway in hyper-IgE syndrome may lead to dysbiosis of the oral microbiota in these patients, causing Candida albicans to switch from commensal to pathogenic. Modification of the microbiota can be used as a therapeutic approach in patients with IEI. Prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation can be used to restore the balance of the gut microbiota and reduce pathogenicity in IEI patients. Clinical trials are currently underway to understand the impact of this dysbiosis on the phenotype of IEI diseases and its role in their treatment.

Exploring the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery with the new RefluxStop™ device: a retrospective cohort study of 40 patients
Authors: Fringeli Yannick , Linas Ioannis , Kessler Ulf , Zehetner Joerg
Published: July 2024

AIMS OF THE STUDY: Anti-reflux surgery aims to restore the anti-reflux barrier and reduce the retrograde flow of stomach contents. However, traditional surgical techniques generally involve some degree of encircling of the oesophagus, which can result in adverse effects such as dysphagia and the inability to belch or vomit. Based on the first published results, a novel surgical technique – with the RefluxStop™ device – appears promising for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with minimal postoperative dysphagia. This study describes the initial clinical experience with this procedure in a cohort of patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease to evaluate its feasibility and safety in clinical practice.
METHODS: This retrospective cohort study examined the first 40 patients who underwent laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery with the RefluxStop™ device at a private hospital in Switzerland. The procedure involves implanting a nonactive device on the outside of the gastric fundus to stabilise a narrow oesophagogastric plication. Feasibility was assessed based on the proportion of patients in whom the device could be successfully implanted, with a discussion of the operative details. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, adverse effects, and changes in gastroesophageal reflux disease-related quality of life (GERD-HRQL questionnaire) are also reported.
RESULTS: Between May 2020 and April 2022, 40 patients underwent elective surgery for laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair and RefluxStop™ device implantation. All patients had typical symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, such as heartburn and regurgitation; 20 (50%) had preoperative dysphagia. Laparoscopic surgery was feasible in all patients except one who required laparotomy due to adhesions and associated bleeding when accessing the abdomen. The median operating time was 57.5 minutes (interquartile range = 51.75–64.25 minutes) with no device-related intraoperative or postoperative complications. All patients were imaged one day and three months postoperative, confirming the correct placement of the device. Reflux symptoms (heartburn and acid regurgitation) were significantly improved in all patients at three months (p <0.0001).
CONCLUSION: These preliminary results support the feasibility and safety of introducing this novel laparoscopic anti-reflux surgical treatment option in clinical practice.
Tourist complaints on arrival: common triggers
Authors: Sánchez González María Gemma , Capel-Davies Greg
Published: July 2024

Tourist apartments (AT in Spanish), as a type of extra-hotel accommodation, are a very popular option nowadays. In many cases, the owner of the apartment is the person in charge of guaranteeing the reservation process from start to finish. On the other hand, tourists, informed of their obligations as users of the service, frequently do not comply with aspects that later have a domino-effect both on their own state of mind and on that of the hotelier. The aim of this study is to relate direct personal inner feelings after travelling with external complaints against tourist apartment owners.
By means of an interview carried out among 100 AT owners in different Spanish locations as well as a collection of comments published online by travelers, it was revealed how fatigue generated by the journey has a significant influence on tourist complaints during the first hours of their stay. This exploratory study represents a timely contribution to the analysis of variables that affect the change in mood of tourist users, and which provides a forecast of their behavior and its impact on the feelings of AT owners

This study carried out an assessment and analysis of the perception of public about the extent of environmental pollution in the city of Lahore. The city has been ranked as one of the most polluted cities globally every year from October to December over the past five years thereby posing health challenges for the public due to smog. The study conducted a survey of 120 respondents from different income and age groups. Multinomial logistic regression technique was being used in order to see the impact of income, age and gender on an individual’s Willingness To Pay (WTP) in order avoid pollution while the method of contingent valuation was used to measure the WTP. The survey results showed that 94% of the respondents were concerned about the deteriorating environmental quality and expressed WTP a proportion of their income for better environmental quality. Results from regression analysis showed that there was a high probability of WTP up to five percent of their household income in a month, irrespective of their age and income. The study suggests the government to promote public transport network, improve the collection and monitoring of air quality data and take the WTP into consideration while designing tax policies.

Published: July 2024

The present study aimed to test the mediating effect of screen time on the relationship between Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and procrastination. A cross-sectional research approach and purposive sampling technique were employed to recruit university students (N = 400) from public and private sector universities in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The study variables were assessed using the FoMO Scale (Wegmann et al., 2017), the General Procrastination Scale (Lay, 1986), and the usage dimensions of the Media and Technology Usage and Attitude Scale (Rosen et al., 2013). Participants also reported their mobile phone usage time using the screen time tracking feature available in their smartphones. Results of correlational analysis indicated that FoMO and screen time are positively associated with procrastination. Mediational analysis revealed that screen time mediates the relationship between FoMO and procrastination. It is concluded that FoMO increases screen time which consequently exacerbates procrastination. Findings suggest that interventions aimed at fostering mindful screen time management could offer effective strategies for minimizing procrastination tendencies.
Definitions and Estimation Models of Shadow Economy A Systemic Literature Review
Authors: Manzoor Zafar , Ahsan Humna
Published: July 2024

This study is an attempt to understand the divergence between different definitional approaches and measuring methods to estimate the shadow economy through extensive review of literature. The misunderstandings in the definition of shadow economy are underpinned in the contradictory views of researchers belonging to different academic backgrounds. Although reconciliation attempts were made to mitigate the difference between these conflicting definitional approaches but there is still non-availability of common ground. This variation in definitional approaches has resulted in researchers taking different routes for estimating the size of shadow economy. Literature identifies three approaches taken by researchers to measure the informal sector i.e. direct, indirect and model approach. After an extensive evaluation, the current study identifies many advantages and disadvantages for each of the methods. The direct approach is highly useful when a specific sector and specific time-period is into play but fails to deliver when estimating the size of an aggregated shadow economy. The indirect approach is often criticized for taking only one factor into account while calculating the black economy but also praised for its simplicity. The model approach considers multiple cause and indicating variable for the estimation of shadow economy, but these models tend to be unstable and overly complicated. The current study suggests there are broken links between the theory and estimation techniques of informal economy which needs to be addressed for true estimation of shadow economy.

Weak bilingual proficiency of Balti-English and Eng-Balti have given a new dimention to the current situation of the language. Codeswitching has declared English insertion of nouns in health related talk. Furthermore, strong beleifs and langage motivation were factors responsioble for a need for teaching materials for young Balti speakers. The study investigated bilingualism profile and language dominanace in order to determine language attitudes of Balti speakers. Study used self-assessment Bilingualism profile (BLP) form that is basically a language background questionnaire based on the exposure of the language in different phase of life in different contexts from family to friends and later professionals. Findings revealed that Balti dominance in all aspects despite the fact that English scored higher in the 4th category of language proficiency. Balti speakers have less knowledge of Balti script and they are more proficient in English reading and writing. English has 0% history in the lives of Balti speakers whereas Balti has 28% language use where English stood at 8% only.
