Published: August 2024

Background: During the COVID-19 outbreak, certain populations, including pregnant women, were particularly vulnerable. This increased susceptibility could lead to postnatal complications, including sleep disorders, which are common in the postpartum period. Objectives: To determine the effect of mindfulness-based counseling on sleep quality in women with a history of COVID-19 during pregnancy. Methods: This quasi-experimental study utilized a pre- and post-consultation design and included 100 women with a history of COVID-19 during pregnancy. Using convenience sampling, participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Data were collected through a demographic questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The intervention group received eight weekly mindfulness-based counseling sessions, each lasting 45 minutes, conducted via social messenger by the researcher. Outcomes were assessed eight weeks after the final counseling session. Results: The two study groups were comparable in terms of demographic characteristics. In the intervention group, mean sleep quality scores improved from 7.28 ± 0.99 at the beginning to 4.28 ± 0.79 at the end of the study (95%CI: 2.18 to 3.81, MD = 3, P = 0.002). In the control group, scores changed from 6.94 ± 0.84 to 6.76 ± 0.71 (95%CI: - 0.20 to 0.33, MD = 0.18, P = 0.820). Comparing the groups after counseling, the intervention group had a mean sleep quality score of 4.28 ± 0.79, while the control group had 6.76 ± 0.71 (95%CI: 1.68 to 3.31, MD = 2.50, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Mindfulness-based counseling positively affected sleep quality in the intervention group. Utilizing existing social networking platforms for such interventions can effectively improve sleep quality in women.

Abstract
This research discusses gender relations within the context of families where wives have dual roles as both workers and homemakers. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study method to delve into the dynamics of husband-wife relationships under these conditions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies of three couples where both spouses work at Malaysia. The research findings indicate that interpersonal communication plays a central role in maintaining household harmony amidst the wife's dual roles. Husband-wife pairs demonstrate the ability to support and collaborate with each other in facing challenges, such as limited time together due to differing work schedules. Gender equality is reflected in how couples value and support each other's roles, irrespective of the wife's higher income or career achievements. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that empowering women in the workplace and recognizing the wife's dual role in the family are crucial aspects in achieving gender equality. The implications of this research also stimulate thinking about gender inclusivity within husband-wife relationships, which can influence more inclusive social norms and societal awareness of the importance of cooperation and support within families.

Authors:   ., Wang Beibei , Xu Yang Li Yun, ,   ., Ho Huang ,   .
Published: August 2024

Pediatric populations, comprising individuals aged 18 or younger, and rare disease populations pose significant challenges in clinical trial design due to limited participant numbers, patient sensitivity, and insufficient natural history data. Addressing these challenges often involves data extrapolation, leveraging existing data from adults to inform pediatric trials. Bayesian hierarchical modeling is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for combining information across disparate sources, such as adult and pediatric datasets. This manuscript introduces an extension of an existing statistical model to enhance the efficiency of borrowing strength from multiple historical trials under consistent assumptions. A quantitative method is developed to improve the borrowing of historical information. The methods are illustrated with a simulation study motivated by real case study in pediatric clinical trial, and practical considerations are provided regarding the selection of prior distributions. This work aims to provide comprehensive insights and practical guidance for leveraging historical data effectively in clinical trial design.

This study aimed to determine the significant relationship between food and nutrition literacy and academic performance among intermediate-level students. Total population sampling was used which included fifty-three respondents. Through non-experimental quantitative descriptive-correlational research technique, validated questionnaire, Mean, and Pearson-Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (Pearson-r); results showed that the level of food and nutrition literacy was high or evident. It was also found out that the level of students’ academic performance was satisfactory. There was a no significant relationship between food and nutrition literacy and students’ academic performance. This means that the level of knowledge and skills about food and nutrition does not have a significant association to the academic performance of the students. In other words, whether a student knows a lot or a little about food and nutrition does not significantly correlate with their grades or academic success. The researchers recommended that teachers continue educating students about food and nutritional concepts, as well as developing academic performance. In addition to that, future researchers may conduct longitudinal studies to track the impact of food and nutrition literacy over time.
Aging In The Face of Diabetes: Severe Hypoglycemia in Older Adults
Authors: Ratzki-Leewing Alexandria
Published: August 2024

Global rates of type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D, T2D) continue to climb, despite medical advancements. Older adults constitute one of the fastest growing segments of the diabetes population, backed by the world’s unprecedented aging population, decreased diabetes mortality rates, and the obesity epidemic. In Canada, individuals aged ≥65 years account for more than a quarter of all prevalent diabetes cases, far exceeding the other age groups.
Older adults with diabetes face the highest risks of microvascular and macrovascular complications, which, compared to younger age cohorts, can contribute to significant functional loss, frailty, and premature mortality. A considerable amount of research links intensive glucose-lowering with insulin or secretagogues to reduced cardiovascular disease. However, the consequent risk of severe hypoglycemia and related sequelae can be particularly catastrophic for older adults, exacerbated by coexisting health conditions and age-related social needs.
Approximately 40% of Canadians with T2D aged ≥65 years currently use secretagogues, while 27% use insulin—alongside all those with T1D. Longitudinal evidence suggests that since the year 2000, hospital admission rates for hypoglycemia have consistently surpassed those for hyperglycemia, especially among individuals aged 75 years and above. Economic modelling estimates that the Canadian healthcare system spends $125,932 CAD per year on iatrogenic hypoglycemia, with the bulk of these costs likely allocated to people ≥65 years.
Diabetes in older adults is a pressing public health issue in Canada, marked by clinical diversity and widespread use of medications that are prone to cause hypoglycemia. This review outlines recent epidemiologic findings on severe hypoglycemia among community-dwelling older adults with T1D or T2D treated with insulin or secretagogues. Understanding the complex factors contributing to severe hypoglycemia in this population is crucial for developing tailored prevention strategies that are both effective and safe.

Mutton is widely recognized for its excellent nutritional value, containing essential components such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of subzero storage on the freshness and quality of mutton. To evaluate the attributes of frozen and stored mutton, we employed fresh control samples that underwent standard freezing procedures at -18°C. Determining the quality and freshness of the product required the evaluation of numerous parameters over a five-month storage period. Drip loss (comprising boiling and thawing loss), water-holding capacity (WHC), texture profile analysis (TPA), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and total volatile basic nitrogen encompassed these parameters. Temperature influenced leak loss and water holding capacity (WHC), with severe freezing resulting in a reduction in moisture loss during frozen storage in comparison to standard freezing conditions. Extremely low-temperature freezing and subsequent storage of lamb resulted in a notable enhancement in tenderness when compared to standard freezing conditions. More precisely, sheep that underwent freezing at temperatures below -60℃ exhibited a tenderness akin to that of recently slaughtered mutton. Following a five-month period, frozen samples of mutton exhibited no indications of lipid oxidation, irrespective of temperature. The storage temperature of the samples, nevertheless, had an impact on the TVBN (total volatile basic nitrogen) concentration. In conclusion, our research indicates that mutton can maintain its freshness for a period of five months through the utilization subzero temperatures. A temperature of -60℃ is determined to be the most favorable condition for freezing and storing frozen mutton, taking into account both economic and qualitative considerations.

The data on drug consumption were obtained from the annual reports of the Medicines and Medical Devices Agency of Serbia, while the data for DS were sourced from IMS Health's monthly audit reports. The consumption of ALA drugs significantly increased during 2010-2016 (R² = 0.753, F(1, 5) = 15.219, p = 0.011), with a notable drop observed in 2017. The consumption of ALA DS surged by 156.67% from 2018 to 2020, reaching 0.77 DDD/1000 inhabitants/day, with a notable increase observed at the end of 2020. From January to October 2021, the consumption doubled compared to the same period in 2020, reaching 1 DDD/1000 inhabitants/day. The increase in ALA drug consumption during 2010-2016 paralleled the registration and clinical adoption of ALA drugs. A significant drop in 2017 might have resulted from registering new ALA DS. However, during 2018-2020, ALA drugs were more commonly consumed compared to ALA DS. The increased consumption of ALA DS at the end of 2020 was associated with the COVID-19 epidemic. While both drugs and DS offer 600 mg ALA doses, only drug regulations ensure quality and efficacy, highlighting the need for stricter regulations on DS to enhance consumer safety and information.

Fruit wines are products obtained after the processing of fruit crops which are not grapes. Water and alcohol are the most abundant constituents of fruit wines, along with biologically active compounds which are present in small amounts. Taken together, they significantly affect the physicochemical quality parameters. Before market placement, it is important to determine the physicochemical quality parameters of fruit wines. This study deals with the determination of physicochemical quality parameters in blackberry and sour cherry fruit wines produced in Serbia. The total content of acids determined by titration was in the interval from 7.37 to 9.05 g/L express to mallic acid. The pH values were from 2.75 to 3.57. The content of free SO2 is important to prevent spoilage induced by microorganisms, and it was in the range from 12.52 to 15.21 mg/L. The ethanol content of samples was in the interval from 6.87 to 13.57 % v/v. The obtained values for ethanol content were in accordance with the initial content of sugar in vinification, which was in the range from 13.8 to 24.2 ° Brix. Total phenolic content of fruit wines was from 1895.77 to 2417.21 mg/L expressed as gallic acid equivalents. All the investigated physicochemical parameters of the analyzed fruit wines, except ethanol content, were in line with the National Regulations for Quality and Other Demands for Grape Wine (National Regulations). The obtained results indicate the quality of fruit and demonstrate that all the procedures applied during wine production were conducted properly to obtain a quality final product. Ethanol content was below the minimal limit in 5 of 11 analyzed samples according to the National Regulations. This can be explained by the fact that every fruit has a different composition of natural constituents, which is a crucial reason to adopt specific regulations related to quality and other requirements for fruit wines.

Background/Aim: Patients with rifampicin resistant-tuberculosis (RRTB) may remain a source of infection longer than patients with rifampicin sensitive-tuberculosis (RS-TB). This study aimed to detect active cases of RS-TB and RR-TB through systematic screening among household contacts of RR-TB patients in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among the 355 household contacts (HHCs) of 93 RR-TB primary cases identified from various centres in Dhaka, diagnosed between November 2020 and October 2021. For the identification of active cases of tuberculosis (TB), systematic screening among HHCs was done, where verbal screening was performed to check the presence of symptoms of TB. Those who had at least one symptoms of TB were considered as symptomatic contacts. Later GeneXpert analysis of sputum was done among the screened symptomatic contacts. Data was collected using a pretested, semi-structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire. Results: An estimated 30.4 % of respondents were ≤ 15 years of age. TBlike symptoms were prevalent among 9.9 % of respondents. Loss of appetite (45.7 %), unexplained weight loss (40.0 %) and cough (37.1 %) were the most common symptoms. Among the contacts with TB-like symptoms, 6.7 % were diagnosed as a case of TB (3.35 % were RR-TB and 3.35 % were RS-TB). The number needed to be screened to find an active case of TB was established at 178 among the HHCs of RR-TB. Conclusions: About one in ten RR-TB HHCs showed TB-like symptoms. One in fifteen HHCs with TB-like symptoms was an active case of TB. Regular, effective screening of RR-TB contacts is needed to stop the transmission.
Assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of eotaxin-2 as a marker for preterm prelabour rupture of membranes
Authors: Ali Miami , Ali Naz

Background/Aim: Preterm pre-labour rupture of the membranes could be caused by the change in local cytokines concentration due to inflammatory or infectious conditions. Cytokines, such as chemokine generated by immune cells that have been activated are the most extensive category of biochemical factors implicated in the development of preterm pre-labour rupture of the membranes (PPROM). Among this chemokine, eotaxin serves as a specific protein that attracts eosinophils. Aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of eotaxin-2 as a marker for the diagnosis of PPROM. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Bagdad Teaching Hospital, Iraq during a period of 10 months. The study sample included 90 pregnant women and was divided into three groups, the first group: 30 women with PPROM, the second group: 30 women with preterm labour and intact foetal membranes and the third group: 30 women at term pregnancy. For all women in the study blood samples were taken for measurement of eotaxin-2 at the same gestational age. Results: The eotaxin-2 level was found to be lower in cases of PPROM than in preterm labour and term cases. The sensitivity of eotaxin-2 was 83.3 %, specificity 70 % and negative predictive value 89.4 %. Conclusion: Eotaxin-2 might be considered as a marker for diagnosis of PPROM.

Understanding emotions and sensations from a neuroscientific context is essential for unravelling the complex mechanisms underlying human behaviour and cognition. Emotions are created by maintaining a positive or negative relationship of an individual towards the experiences and facts of reality. Sensations are the result of the influence of the material world on our senses or receptors. Recent advancements in neuroimaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) have provided unprecedented insights into the neural circuitry underlying emotions and sensations. Additionally the role of neurotransmitters, neural networks and brain regions are implicated in emotion regulation, sensory processing and their integration. Furthermore, there is impact of emotional and sensory dysregulation on various psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), highlighting potential avenues for therapeutic interventions. Overall, the importance of interdisciplinary research is in bridging the gap between neuroscience and psychology, paving the way for a deeper understanding of human emotions and sensations which is reflected in both simple experiences is emphasised.
