Authors: Ruco Arlinda , Baxter Nancy , Jacobson Jenna , Tinmouth Jill , Llovet Diego
Published: March 2024

Background: The use of social media presents a unique opportunity for cancer screening programs to motivate individuals to get screened. However, we need a better understanding of what types of social media messages for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening are preferred. The objective of this study was to develop social media messages promoting CRC screening uptake to identify messages preferred by the target audience.

Methods: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study and collected data through focus groups with Facebook users of screen-eligible age. Participants were presented with social media messages and asked to provide feedback. Messages were informed by the Health Belief Model, current evidence regarding screening communication and health communication and social media best practices. Focus groups were audio-recorded and transcribed and analysis was completed by two independent coders. If messages generated sufficient discussion, we developed a recommendation regarding the use of the message in a future social media campaign. Recommendations included: strongly consider using this message, consider using this message, proceed with caution, and do not use this message. General considerations about social media campaigns were also noted.

Results: A total of 45 individuals participated in six focus groups. We developed recommendations for 7 out of the 18 messages tested; 1 was classified as strongly consider using this message, 4 as consider using this message and 2 as proceed with caution. The data suggest that participants preferred social media messages that were believed to be credible, educational, and with a positive or reassuring tone. Preferred messages tended to increase awareness about CRC risk and screening and prompted participants to ask questions, and to want to learn more about what they could do to lower their risk. Messages that were viewed as humorous, strange or offensive or that had a negative or excessively fearful tone were less well received by study participants.

Conclusions: Facebook users prefer social media messages for CRC that have a positive or reassuring tone, are educational, and that have a credible ad sponsor. Campaign planners should proceed with caution when considering messages that use humor or a fearful tone to avoid undermining their campaign objectives.

Authors: Jacobson Jenna , Hodson Jaigris , Mittelman Robert
Published: March 2024

 

Given the rise of online influencers, this research aims to analyze non-human social media influencers. Using a qualitative in-depth content analysis of Instagram images and captions, we analyze the social presence strategies—affective, interactive, and cohesive strategies—and the social media influencer advertising practices of top animal influencers. While all three social presence strategies were used, animal influencers most often employed affective and cohesive strategies. The results suggest that emotion and community are more important than interaction for animal influencers. Most of the influencers engaged in social media advertising by sharing brand-related posts, yet their social media feeds do not overly feature advertising messages. As an implication of the research, the research shows how animal influencers grow their parasocial relationships with followers in a way that is beneficial to brands. Thus the research reveals the role that digital animal influencers play in the social customer journey for the brands that work with them.

Published: March 2024

With Canada becoming the first G20 country to legalize the recreational use of cannabis, there has been increasing interest in the emergence of this new retail market. The research utilizes social media analytics to analyze the public's response to the rollout of the government-controlled cannabis retail stores: Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS). The research analyzes 17,162 tweets mentioning the OCS (@ONCannabisStore) on Twitter in the one-year period following the legalization of recreational cannabis. Using thematic analysis, 19 codes are identified and further categorized under six themes—i.e., consignment, product, retail model, policy, producers, and consumers. The research provides valuable insight into the public's perceptions of the newly legalized cannabis retail market on social media. As a practical implication of the research, key concerns and issues with the initial retail rollout are identified, which provides insight into the evolution of an illegal to legal retail market. The methods can be used by future researchers, policy makers, and emerging cannabis retailers to gather and understand cannabis consumers' opinions on social media. Furthermore, the findings can be leveraged to inform future government policies and decisions around the emergence of this new retail sector.

Students’ Perceptions of Using Translanguaging to Understand Business Concepts
Authors: Luo Sying , Wu Jin
Published: March 2024

Translanguaging, increasingly attracting scholars’ attention in recent decades, has been highlighted as a pedagogical practice by most existing studies in promoting students’ understanding of materials with their linguistic resources in different education contexts. However, studies related to translanguaging in Chinese EMI classrooms are scarce, and so are students’ perceptions of translanguaging in such a context. This study, following a mixed-method with a questionnaire and semi-structured interview, aims to investigate how students perceive the use of translanguaging to understand business concepts in their EMI classrooms. 60 third-year business English students from a university in China participated in this study. The results showed that business English students generally held a supportive perception of using translanguaging and that they agreed with the appropriateness and naturalness of using it in their classrooms to scaffold their learning of business concepts. The qualitative findings reported that translanguaging could help them understand and remember the meanings of those concepts easier without rote learning, assist classmates with lower English proficiency to express their ideas as well as relieve their emotional pressures. The findings lend further support for the use of L1 so as to mobilize students’ language resources in learning content in the future.

Among them, 313 procedures of intravenous infusion of ozonated physiological solution (200 ml, ozone dose ‒ 0.48 mg, procedures were performed daily or every other day) were performed. 1110 procedures of intravenous infusion of ozonated autologous blood (200 or ‒ 400 ml of autologous blood, ozone dose ‒ 1.8 or 3.6 mg) were performed. The beginning of the course of autohemotherapy was preceded by a session of intravenous administration of ozonated physiological solution (the first procedure), after which the course of autohemotherapy began, with a frequency of 2-3 times a week. Conclusions. The clinical effectiveness of ozone therapy has been confirmed through a complex dynamic assessment of the patient's condition, which involves the use of subjective assessments (well-being, mood, duration of sleep, severity of pain syndrome, etc.) and objective parameters of the patient (clinical, functional, laboratory indicators, specific biomarkers).

Published: March 2024

Congenital anomalies are a major public health concern globally, contributing significantly to perinatal and neonatal mortality. Understanding their prevalence, patterns, and outcomes are essential for effective healthcare planning and interventions. This cross-sectional observational study aimed to investigate the distribution and immediate outcomes of congenital anomalies among infants delivered at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College Hospital, Faridpur, Bangladesh. Study population comprised admitted pregnant mothers who delivered infants with congenital anomalies from January to December 2022. Data were collected from medical records, including parity, gestational age at delivery, mode of delivery and outcomes of congenital anomalies. Total 3461 deliveries occurred during this period, of which 88 had congenital anomalies with a prevalence of 2.54%. Among the 88 infants with congenital anomalies, the most prevalent anomalies were Anencephaly and Hydrocephalus, affecting the central nervous system. Anencephaly had a 100% mortality rate, emphasizing its severity and poor prognosis. Anencephaly was more common in infants delivered between 12 to 28 weeks. Early gestational stages play critical role in its pathogenesis. Hydrocephalus showed a relatively higher proportion of live births. Vaginal delivery was the predominant mode of delivery for most congenital anomalies. Public health efforts targeting early detection, appropriate care and support for affected families can potentially reduce the impact of congenital anomalies on maternal and neonatal health.

Because of the high-speed aircrafts, the distance to the other side of the world seems to be closer, as if it were situated just next door. Aerospace engineering has undergone a revolution thanks to research into airfoils. This research work has been focused on analyzing the aerodynamic performances of the NACA 4415 airfoil in turbulent flows while Mach numbers,  and Reynolds numbers,  have been taken into account. The chord length of  and  have been considered for this study. Computational fluid dynamics were employed to determine the lift, drag, and pitching moment forces, as well as their respective non-dimensional coefficients. As a result, maximum lift, moment forces have been found after the  angle of attacks, and stagnation areas are increasing dramatically behind the airfoil, proportion to the increments with the angle of attack. Additionally, the effects of pressure and velocity on every point of the airfoil's surface were studied through the analysis of pressure and velocity contours.

Proposing a New Estimator of Overdispersion for Multinomial Data
Authors: Afroz Farzana
Published: March 2024

The classical approach of estimating overdispersion parameter, Φ, by Pearson's goodness of fit statistic is not appropriate when the data are sparse. We have considered several estimators of Φ, derived from the Pearson's statistic and the deviance statistic for multinomial data. The proposed estimator of Φ depending on the deviance statistic is shown to perform the best for increasing level of sparsity and overdispersion, regarding the root mean squared error. As a practical example dead recovery data collected on Herring gulls from Kent Island, Canada are considered. A parametric extra variation model finite mixture distribution is used in the simulation study.

Raster electron microscopy in the analysis of plant raw materials of virgin grapes (Parthenocissus quinquefolia (L.) Planch.)
Authors: Evsikov F. D. , Gudkova A. A. , Slivkin A. I.
Published: March 2024

Introduction. Virgin grape (maiden grape, Virginia grape, virgin grape, Parthenocissus quinquefolia (L.) Planch.) is currently used primarily for decorative purposes, but is also beginning to attract scientists from different countries as a promising source of important compounds such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, organic acids, macro- and microelements. To introduce a plant into medical practice, one of the first steps is the need to develop regulatory documentation that allows for quality assessment and standardization of plant materials, and the first stage of this process is the assessment of the characteristics of the authenticity of the object.

Aim. Establish the morphological characteristics of the leaf and petiole of the virgin grape (Parthenocissus quinquefolia (L.) Planch.).

Materials and methods. The object of the study was developed leaves of the virgin grape, harvested in the Voronezh region in the summer of 2022 and dried in the shade. To carry out the experiment, a JSM-6510LV electron microscope was used; the analysis was carried out after sputtering a thin film of gold onto the sample.

Results and discussion. For the first time, the main structural features of various morphological features of the leaf blade of the virgin grape were identified, differences in the morphological picture of the upper and lower sides of the leaf were established, and structural features of the surface of the petiole were identified. Using micro-X-ray analysis, it was revealed that calcium and potassium are present in large quantities in the leaves and petiole of virgin grapes. The least amount of the studied elements in the study object contains magnesium. It has been shown that the leaves contain a small amount of chlorine, and the cellular contents of the petiole include a small amount of sodium.

Conclusion. For the first time, a study of the morphology of the surface of the leaf blade and petiole of the virgin grape was carried out using scanning electron microscopy. The main diagnostic features of plant raw materials have been identified and visualized. Micro-X-ray structural analysis made it possible to establish the composition of the elements of the leaf blade and petiole of virgin grapes and revealed the ability to concentrate calcium, potassium, and phosphorus.

Published: March 2024

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a clinical and rare condition characterized by the sudden development of multiple non-follicular sterile pustules that are pruritic, primarily appearing in intertriginous areas. This study reports a case of AGEP during pregnancy in a 24-year-old patient, at a gestational age of 35 weeks and 3 days. She was admitted to the obstetric ward with a presentation of pustular exanthematous lesions on the lips, chest, abdomen, face, and upper limbs. The treatment was initiated with a pulse therapy of methylprednisolone at 1 gram per day for 3 days, and albendazole for 5 days. The patient remained hospitalized until she reached 37 weeks of gestation, and a cesarean section was eventually recommended due to failed induction, and the procedure occurred without complications.
Optimizing Medication and Patient Health through Deprescribing Practices
Authors: Haroun Jasmine A , KB Sneed , Pathak Yashwant
Published: March 2024

In this rapidly changing healthcare environment, optimizing medication regimens has become crucial for patient safety. This importance is emphasized by the increasing prevalence of polypharmacy - the use of multiple medications - which pose significant risk, especially in older adults, for adverse drug reactions, increased use of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), drug-drug interactions, and other factors that may threaten patient safety. In response to these challenges, deprescribing has gained prominence as an approach to enhance patient outcomes. More than simply stopping medications, deprescribing is a systematic process that aims to identify and discontinue specific drugs when their harm outweighs the benefit. This paper discusses the implications of polypharmacy, evaluates deprescribing tools and guidelines, assesses the barriers to implementing deprescribing practices, examines the roles of pharmacists, physicians and patients in deprescribing plans, and considers future trends and research directions to fill some of the gaps found within the actions of deprescribing. By providing this overview, this paper aims to start dialogue on how medication optimization can be used to improve patient health.
