Maternal Exercise Type and Fetal Echocardiographic Measures
Authors: E. May Linda
Published: July 2024

Background/Aims: While aerobic exercise during pregnancy has been specifically shown to benefit fetal heart dimensions and outflow, the exercise type-specific effects of resistance and combination (resistance and aerobic) exercise have not been explored. The study was performed to independently assess the effects of resistance, aerobic and combination exercise on fetal heart measures in late pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This study utilized 3 exercise intervention groups (aerobic AE n=61, combination AERE n=40, or resistance RE n=33) in comparison to a non-exercise control group (n = 50). At 35-36 weeks of gestation, fetal echocardiographs were obtained via ultrasonography and analyzed for heart rate, cardiac chamber size, and cardiac outflow diameters. Between-group mean differences in fetal measures were assessed by one-way ANOVA for continuous (fetal heart rate, ventricle diameter, stroke volume, cardiac output, vascular diameter) variables. Results: Prenatal exercise altered left ventricular stroke volume and aortic diameter in AE and RE groups, respectively. Maternal exercise dose was significantly (p < .05) and negatively correlated with most measures, including fetal heart rate. Further, fetal heart rate was predicted by maternal fitness level, while fetal right and left ventricular measures were dependent on maternal exercise attendance. Conclusion: These data suggest that different prenatal exercise types are safe for fetal heart development, and that compliance with the recommended prenatal exercise dose contributes to beneficial outcomes.
Echocardiographic Study of Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients with Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia
Authors: Karakayali Muammer
Published: July 2024

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia. Studies examining cardiac structure and function in patients with BD and schizophrenia using echocardiography and cardiac strain imaging are insufficient. Moreover, despite the proven increased burden of cardiovascular disease in psychiatric diseases such as BD and schizophrenia, there is unfortunately a gap in early preventive treatment. In this study, we aimed to use echocardiographic global longitudinal strain (GLS) to compare cardiac structure and function between patients with BD, schizophrenia, and mentally healthy adults. Methods: This study recruited 92 patients diagnosed with BD (n:47) and schizophrenia (n:45). As the control group, 53 healthy volunteers without a history of psychiatric illness were included. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed for all patients. Results: There was no difference in GLS values between patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (p: 0.862). GLS values of both groups were found to be statistically significantly lower than the healthy control group (-21.7 ±1.6 vs. -15.9 ±1.5 vs. -16.1 ±1.6, p<0.001). Conclusion: As a result, decreased GLS values were found in patients with psychiatric disorders compared to the healthy group in our study. Interestingly, different GLS values were also found among patients with psychiatric disorders, with statistical significance.

Pulseless Electrical Activity from an Overly Distended Bladder
Authors: Sandio Aubin
Published: July 2024

Acute urinary retention is a common consequence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Usually, the obstruction is addressed before any serious consequences occur; however, vagal stimulation is a reported consequence of bladder overdistention that can lead to the classic symptoms of vasovagal reactions, including hypotension, bradycardia, and, in some instances, EKG changes. We present the case of a 92-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with a new-onset complete atrioventricular (AV) block and developed pulseless electrical activity (PEA) as a complication of acute urinary retention after a failed trial of void. (TOV).

Particularity of Coronary Artery Aneurysm Management
Authors: Zeine El Abasse
Published: July 2024

Aneurysmal dilation of coronary arteries is observed in up to 5% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Due to their poorly elucidated underlying mechanisms, their variable presentations, and the lack of largescale outcome data on their various treatment modalities, coronary artery aneurysms and coronary ectasia pose a challenge to the managing clinician. This paper aims to provide a succinct review of aneurysmal coronary disease, with a special emphasis on the challenges associated with its interventional treatment.[1] Coronary artery ectasia likely represents an exaggerated form of expansive vascular remodeling in response to atheroslerotic plaque growth with atherosclerosis being the most common cause. Although, it has been described more than five decades ago, its management is still debated. We diagnosed 13 patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome, in whom coronary angiography revealed thrombotic occlusion of aneurysmal arteries.[2] double platelet antiaggregation and anticogulation therapy were associated. we found that anticoagulation treatment combined with platelet anti-aggregation treatment accelerated the disappearance of the thrombus, enabling visualization of the artery so that a decision could be made whether or not to undergo angioplasty. the aim of this article is to investigate in literature how acute coronary syndrome can be managed in aneurysmal arteries.
The use of Ondansetron in Psychiatry: An Educational Article and Expert Opinion
Authors: Al-Mosawi Aamir
Published: July 2024

Neuroleptics are anti-psychotics medications that are used in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, anxiety, Tourette syndrome, autism, and mental retardation. The first and second generations of neuroleptics are dopamine 2 receptor blocker and the first-generation agents are associated with significant risk of the occurrence of extra-pyramidal side effects in effective doses. Despite the emergence of several generations of neuroleptics, the disadvantages of the relatively high incidence of side effects and treatment resistance continued as challenging problems [1-6]. It has been suggested that these problems may be solved with use of adjunctive therapies that help in improving responsiveness and reduce the possibility of the occurrence of side effects. The aim of this paper is to provide a relevant educational overview of ondansetron research progress in the field of psychiatry. Conclusion: The current expert opinion suggests that ondansetron has the potential to be the agent which can help in solving the problem associated with use of neuroleptics including the possibility of the occurrence of side effects and treatment resistance. There is preliminary evidence suggesting that ondansetron can be used as an adjunctive therapy in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, Tourette syndrome, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Published: July 2024

The study presents the interdependence of education and health, the impact of education on students' health, in particular the emergence of school neurosis, which was accompanied by motor breakdown, uncontrolled hyperactivity with attention deficit syndrome. The method and results of the medical-psychophysiological examination of a student on the device "NEXUS-10" ("NEXUS-10" Mark-II of "Mind Media BV", Hertzen, the Kingdom of the Netherlands) are presented. The psycho-physiological results of simulation of 5 laboratory-created mental states are given: the calmness of a student who relaxes without any cognitive tasks; reading a poem by the student by heart from the school curriculum; the solution of the cognitive task, which is a distinction and classification of 7 images in color and form (stress test, singing the song verse, singing a song with a positive visual and acoustic accompaniment.) The medical and psychological data obtained in the course of the tests testify to the need for a harmonious combination of three components of psychophysiological functioning in the students' learning, which include the modes of silence, speech and singing, which include the efficiency and versatility, comfort and access tions for all children regardless of the actual level of intellectual development and health.The research covers the psycho-physiological effects of the methodology, the results of medical-psychological examinations, comparison and analysis of equipment parameters of the five psychophysiological states of the student, the main of which is silence, speaking and singing. The significance of harmonious learning in connection with socially caused harm, the emergence of dependencies and the inverse self-realization of children and adolescents dangerous to their health and social cohabitation is revealed. The conclusion is made that the basic psychophysiological bases of harmonious functioning are the ability to use psychological mechanisms of self-regulation, which include silence, speaking and singing.
Implications of Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting in the Stock Management of a Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy and in Patient Life quality
Authors: Maria Bento Martins Carminda
Published: July 2024

The report of an ADR to a drug (generic or original) allows the hospital to initiate a tender for the acquisition of the therapeutic alternative (i.e., another generic drug or even the branded drug with the same active ingredient) which does not cause the reported ADR in the patient. A retrospective study analysing ADR reports to several drugs with different generics marketed, as well as to brand-name drugs, was conducted. It was found that most of the ADRs reported occurred with generic drugs (mostly with a drug used in the treatment of breast cancer – anastrozole), and these may be related to the formulation of the tablets or to the excipients used, since patients improved the symptomatology presented when changing the commercial brand. It can be concluded that the role of the pharmacist in reporting ADRs to different drugs should be considered of paramount importance, since it would allow the optimisation of treatments and consequently the improvement of patient life quality. The implemented measure of acquiring the trademark of the drug best tolerated by the patient implies a rigorous management of stocks.

OBJECTIVE

Pedicle screw placement guidance is critical in spinal fusions, and spinal surgery robots aim to improve accuracy and reduce complications. Current literature has yet to compare the relative merits of available robotic systems. In this review, the authors aimed to 1) assess the current state of spinal robotics literature; 2) conduct a meta-analysis of robotic performance based on accuracy, speed, and safety; and 3) offer recommendations for robotic system selection.

METHODS

Following PRISMA guidelines, the authors conducted a systematic literature review across PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus as of April 28, 2022, for studies on approved robots for placing lumbar pedicle screws. Three reviewers screened and extracted data relating to the study characteristics, accuracy rate, intraoperative revisions, and reoperations. Secondary performance metrics included operative time, blood loss, and radiation exposure. The authors statistically compared the performance of the robots using a random-effects model to account for variation within and between the studies. Each robot was also compared with performance benchmarks of traditional techniques including freehand, fluoroscopic, and CT-navigated insertion. Finally, we performed a Duval and Tweedie trim-and-fill test to assess for the presence of publication bias.

RESULTS

The authors identified 46 studies, describing 4670 patients and 25,054 screws, that evaluated 4 different robotic systems: Mazor X, ROSA, ExcelsiusGPS, and Cirq. The weighted accuracy rates of Gertzbein-Robbins classification grade A or B screws were as follows: ExcelsiusGPS, 98.0%; ROSA, 98.0%; Mazor, 98.2%; and Cirq, 94.2%. No robot was significantly more accurate than the others. However, the accuracy of the ExcelsiusGPS was significantly higher than that of traditional methods, and the accuracies of the Mazor and ROSA were significantly higher than that of fluoroscopy. The intraoperative revision rates were Cirq, 0.55%; ROSA, 0.91%; Mazor, 0.98%; and ExcelsiusGPS, 1.08%. The reoperation rates were Cirq, 0.28%; ExcelsiusGPS, 0.32%; and Mazor, 0.76% (no reoperations were reported for ROSA). Operative times were similar for all robots. Both the ExcelsiusGPS and Mazor were associated with significantly less blood loss than the ROSA. The Cirq had the lowest radiation exposure. Robots tended to be more accurate and generally their use was associated with fewer reoperations and less blood loss than freehand, fluoroscopic, or CT-navigated techniques.

CONCLUSIONS

Robotic platforms perform comparably based on key metrics, with high accuracy rates and low intraoperative revision and reoperation rates. The spinal robotics publication rate will continue to accelerate, and choosing a robot will depend on the context of the practice.

Solid-oxide fuel cells offer numerous competitive advantages, including higher efficiency and low emissions of greenhouse gases. Material synthesis and selection of its components, including cathode, anode, electrolyte, and interconnect, play a vital role in obtaining the goal. La1-xSrxY0.75Co0.25O3 (x= 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40) perovskite material in the crystalline form of size 185nm to 245nm has been synthesized for its applications. Substituent increases the density value. The material exhibited weight loss on and above 400 oC temperature confirming the creation of oxygen vacancy on reduction of Y3+/Co3+, and the temperature expansion coefficient decreased with Sr2+ substitution. Impedance analysis of all the samples confirmed that the material is dielectric enough and conductivity increased with temperature, frequency, and doping content. The conductivity of the material was found to be more than 100 S/cm above 600 oC, and the activation energy of the material was found to be 0.19 eV for compositions 0.10 and 0.17 eV for 0.40. Observed parameters confirmed that the material synthesized is appropriate for the cathode component of the cell which can work at an intermediate temperature.

Honey cultivation in the Bandung Regency area has been growing. However, it has not been equipped with scientific data regarding the characteristics of several types of cultivated honey. The study aims to ascertain the physicochemical characteristics, total phenolic content, total flavonoids, and antioxidant activity of honey extracts. Honey samples underwent extraction through a centrifugation process, followed by concentration using a rotary evaporator, and subsequent phytochemical screening. The determination of total phenolic content utilized the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent with gallic acid as a reference. The total flavonoid content was determined by comparing it with quercetin using an AlCl3 reagent. Antioxidant activity was assessed through the radical scavenging test of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), with vitamin C serving as a reference. Phytochemical screening results revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, steroids, triterpenoids, tannins, and saponins in the honey extract. Apis mellifera honey extract exhibited a total polyphenol content of 647.128 mg GAE/g and a total flavonoid content of 54.482 mg QE/g. Meanwhile, Trigona sarawakensis honey extract displayed a total polyphenol content of 526.156 mg GAE/g and a total flavonoid content of 42.374 mg QE/g. The free radical scavenging test (DPPH) yielded IC50 values of 7.95 µg/mL (Apis mellifera), 6.73 µg/mL (Trigona sarawakensis), and 4.45 µg/mL (vitamin C). These findings suggest that honey extract holds potential for development as a drug candidate for preventing or treating diseases linked to oxidative stress.

Abstract: Illegal use of floodplain is something that is often found in cities in Indonesia, including in Banda Aceh. The use of state-owned land has been carried out by the local community and it is feared that it will interrupt its function as a flood control. Based on this phenomenon, land clearing has been carried out by the government, BWSS I, and resulted a positive and negative reaction from local communities. BWSS I has also set a plan for land use plan along the floodplain of the Aceh River (Bakoi Village – Lamnyong Bridge) into 5 zones. A good process of planning and designing riverfront needs to involve the aspirations of the community. the alignment of goals and perceptions between the government and the community as users is important to be investigated. Based on observations of environmental settings and activities and local interviews, author found that villagers around riverside accept the program with terms and condition, yet there were several other activities that were in line with government programs but are not in the planned zone.

Abstract: The spread of the Coronavirus gave rise to lockdown regulations, and people were asked to work from home. Home instantly becomes a place to work, school and socialize. Having a healthy and comfortable residential unit is the desire of every occupant, especially with more various functions of the house. The achievement of a healthy home is influenced by adequate lighting in the unit. However, in reality, in more affordable vertical units there are still many problems, including, the unit room is too dark due to lack of daylighting in the unit and other factors. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether unit lighting in an affordable apartment can meet the dynamics of the function needs of the house in the new normal perspective. Applying a qualitative-descriptive method with a case study approach at Graha Aparna Siwalankerto, this research shows that sample 4, even though the illumination number is still below the minimum standard, but the spread of illumination is the most evenly distributed compared to other floors. This is due to the open and flexible layout of the room and its position at the toppest level of the building which makes the area get a larger portion of sunlight.Keywords : Affordable Apartment , Lighting  , New NormalAbstrak: Penyebaran Coronavirus 2019 memunculkan regulasi lockdown, dimana para masyarakat diminta melakukan berbagai pekerjaan dari rumah. Rumah seketika menjadi tempat bekerja, sekolah dan bersosialisasi. Memiliki unit hunian yang sehat dan nyaman menjadi keinginan tiap penghuninya apalagi dengan fungsi rumah yang semakin meluas. Pencapaian rumah sehat salah satunya dipengaruhi pencahayaan di dalam unit yang memadai. Namun pada kenyataanya, dalam unit vertikal sederhana masih banyak permasalahan yang dijumpai diantaranya, ruang unit yang terlalu gelap karena kurangnya daylighting yang masuk ke unit dan faktor lainnya. Tujuan dari paper ini untuk menggali apakah pencahayaan unit di apartemen sederhana dapat memenuhi dinamika kebutuhan fungsi rumah dalam perspektif new normal. Penelitian dengan metode kualitatif-deskriptif pendekatan studi kasus di Graha Aparna Siwalankerto ini menunjukkan hasil bahwa sampel 4 yaitu lantai 5 , meskipun angka iluminasi masih dibawah standar minimumnya , namun penyebaran iluminasinya paling merata dibanding lantai lainnya merata. Hal ini disebabkan karena denah ruang yang tidak banyak sekat atau fleksibel serta karena posisi di paling atas, mendapat porsi cahaya matahari yang lebih besar.Kata Kunci: Apartemen Sederhana , Pencahayaan , New Normal

Abstract: The process of architectural design involves the use of immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology to create spatial experiences that can be perceived by human senses in an immersive manner. Researchers in the field of architecture have investigated the use of virtual reality technology for a variety of purposes in the architectural design process, such as undergoing design review. However, most studies utilize only qualitative Boolean responses, such as excellent or bad. To address this, this study applies the affordance concept from ecological psychology research to the design review procedure by using VRDR and PDS method to find out the design improvement in a third-year architecture design studio. In the end, the result demonstrates a correlation with statistical results, indicating the architecture students' design enhancement after employing the design review method.

Para peneliti di bidang arsitektur telah menyelidiki penggunaan teknologi realitas virtual untuk berbagai tujuan dalam proses desain arsitektur, seperti menjalani tinjauan desain. Namun, sebagian besar penelitian hanya menggunakan respon Boolean kualitatif, seperti sangat baik atau buruk. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, penelitian ini menerapkan konsep affordance dari penelitian psikologi ekologi pada prosedur peninjauan desain dengan menggunakan VRDR dan PDS method untuk mengetahui peningkatan desain pada studio perancangan arsitektur tahun ketiga. Pada akhirnya, hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya korelasi dengan hasil statistik yang mengindikasikan adanya peningkatan desain mahasiswa arsitektur setelah menggunakan metode tinjauan desain.Kata Kunci: desain berbasis affordance, virtual reality, tinjauan desain, building information modelling, perbandingan visual
