Various in vitro preconditioning strategies have been implemented to increase the regenerative capacity of MSCs. Among them are modulation of culture atmosphere (hypoxia or anoxia), three-dimensional culture (3D), addition of trophic factors (in the form of growth factors, cytokines or hormones), lipopolysaccharides, and pharmacological agents. Preconditioning mesenchymal stem cells by culturing them in a hypoxic environment, which resembles the natural oxygen environment of the tissues (1% –7%) and not with standard culture conditions (21%), increases the survival of these cells via Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1a) and via Akt-dependent mechanisms. In addition, the hypoxic precondition stimulates the secretion of pro-angiogenic growth factors, increases the expression of chemokines SDF-1 (stromal cell-derived factor-1) and its receptor CXCR4 (chemokine receptor type 4) - CXCR7 (chemokine receptor type 7) and increases engraftment of stem cell. This review aims to provide an overview of the preconditioned hypoxic treatment to increase the therapeutic potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic harmed the world community including hemodialysis patients. It has affected the physical and psychological status of hemodialysis patients.

AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the dialysis adequacy, interdialytic weight gain, and quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 105 regular hemodialysis patients from three hemodialysis centers in Riau Province, Indonesia. The patients were purposively recruited. Data on hemodialysis adequacy and interdialytic weight gain were collected in April–May 2020 using an observation sheet, while the quality of life was measured using SF 36. To analyze the data, Pearson’s correlation test and linear regression were performed.

RESULTS: Within the sample of 53 male patients was 50.5% and 52 female patients was 49.5%. The mean score of dialysis adequacy during April–May was 1.75, while the mean IDWG was 2.2 kg, and the mean quality of life was 91.51. There was a relationship between adequacy and IDWG (p = 0.002), and between IDWG and quality of life (p =0.015). There was no relationship between adequacy and quality of life (p = 0.360).

CONCLUSION: IDWG influenced the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. Health-care professionals need to help patients to keep their IDWG in the normal range to survive within COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Nuraeni Aan , Suryani Suryani , Trisyani Yanny , Pramukti Iqbal
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: Helplessness is a factor that adversely affects patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The factors related to this situation have become essential to be investigated. Meanwhile, one of the factors that have the potential to reduce this situation is social support. However, there has been no research related to this in the Indonesian population.
AIM: Therefore, this study aims to assess the relationship between social support and helplessness among patients with CHD.
METHODS: This was a correlational study where 107 outpatient and inpatient patients at a hospital in West Java, Indonesia, were obtained. The data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, Illness Cognition Questionnaire on the dimensions of helplessness, and the Enhancing Recovery in CHD Social Support Inventory. Furthermore, the data were analyzed by Pearson and linear regression.
RESULTS: The respondents were 78% of males, while 22% were female. Most of the patients (88%) were married. The bivariate analysis showed that social support and its subvariable emotional support were significantly related to helplessness (p < 0.05, r = −0.248), while the other subvariable structural and instrumental support were not significantly related (p > 0.05). The regression analysis results showed that social and emotional support had a significant effect (p < 0.05) with R2 (95% CI) of 042 and 0.05, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: The social and emotional support among CHD patients was associated with helplessness. The higher the supports obtained, the lower the patient’s helplessness. Therefore, nurses need to encourage family or those closest to patients to provide adequate social and emotional support.

Swiss interdisciplinary guidance on good practices for acute and complicated diabetic foot syndromes
Authors: Peter-Riesch Bettina , Czock Astrid , Uçkay Ilker
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot syndromes (DFS) usually have negative outcomes for patients characterised by multiple comorbidities and frailty. In Switzerland, we need a nationwide "quality of care" programme consisting of evidence-based, practical guidance for primary care providers, together with the implementation of a multidisciplinary care system for DFS.
METHODS: Elaboration of interprofessional and comprehensive Swiss practical guidance for the timely management of acute DFS. This guidance will not replace existing recommendations, but will be complementary to them. Before nationwide implementation, three Swiss  pilot sites will test the guidance in collaboration with local interprofessional foot-care centres.
RESULTS: Under the umbrella of QualiCCare, and endorsed by the professional societies involved, twenty experts from all relevant professions issued four protocols for various aspects of DFS between March 2018 and January 2020. In addition, they defined criteria for triage and treatment in primary care, as well as the timely referral of patients with DFS to interprofessional foot-care centres. We propose a framework for multidisciplinary, specialised foot-care networks, and interprofessional foot-care centres. The piloting of the proposed concepts is underway. All documents are available on the website www.qualiccare.ch.
CONCLUSIONS: We provide evidence-based tools for Swiss primary care providers and specialists, and increase the accessibility for patients to specialised and timely care of DFS.

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: About half of all children with rheumatic diseases need continuous medical care during adolescence and adulthood. A good transition into adult rheumatology is essential. Guidelines for a structured transition process have therefore been recommended by the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and the Paediatric Rheumatology European Society (PReS). However, implementation of these guidelines requires resources often not available in a busy clinical practice.
AIMS: To assess the current practice of transitional care in Switzerland in relation to EULAR/PReS recommendations and to describe gaps and challenges in following the recommendations.
METHODS: All paediatric Swiss rheumatology centres and their collaborating adult centres offering a transition service to adult care were invited to participate in this survey. The responsible paediatric and adult rheumatologist of each centre was interviewed separately using a structured manual addressing the EULAR/PReS transitional care recommendations.
RESULTS: All 10 paediatric and 9 out of 10 adult rheumatologists agreed to participate. Centres varied in the number of patients in transition, from n = 0 to n = 111. The following EULAR/PReS recommendations were implemented and applied in most centres: continuity in the healthcare team, consultations focused on adolescents and young adults, joint consultations between the paediatric and adult rheumatologist, and access to the EULAR website. Only rarely did a centre have a written transition policy or evaluate their transitional care programme. The vast majority of the interviewees had no specific training in adolescent health. Most centres rated their transitional care performance as very good.
CONCLUSION: Transition in Switzerland is not uniform and consequently the implementation of the EULAR/PReS recommendations is variable in Swiss rheumatology centres. Skills of healthcare professionals, continuity between clinical settings, size of the centres, and hospital focus on the needs of adolescents and young adults may represent key predictors of successful transitional care for patients with chronic rheumatic diseases. Future studies should examine these variables.
COVID-19 pandemic and health related quality of life in primary school children in Switzerland: a repeated cross-sectional study
Authors: Bringolf-Isler Bettina , Hänggi Johanna , Kayser Bengt , Suggs L. Suzanne , Dössegger Alain , Probst-Hensch  Nicole
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting containment measures had and still have a profound impact on everyday life. Both the fear of infection and the imposed restrictions can have biopsychosocial consequences. The aim of the present study was to analyze whether there is a difference in the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of primary school children in 2014/15 compared to in 2020, the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS: The present study included 1,712 children aged 5 to 11 years who either participated in the baseline assessment of the SOPHYA cohort study in 2014/15 or were newly recruited during follow-up of the cohort in 2020. In both surveys, the children invited for participation were identified based on registry data. HRQoL was assessed with the validated KINDL-R questionnaire, which scores HRQoL along six different dimensions.

RESULTS: The overall scores (82.4 [81.8; 83.0] vs. 79.6 [79,1; 80.2]), and in particular the emotional well-being scores (85.6 [84.6; 86.6] vs. 83.3 [82.4; 84.2]), were lower during the year of the pandemic (2020) compared to the survey year 2014/15. The highest decrease between 2014/15 and 2020 in the adjusted models was seen for the youngest age group (–3.9 points), followed by children from families with a high income (–3.2 points), girls (–3.1 points), Swiss citizens (–3.1 points) and children from the German-speaking part of Switzerland (–3.1 points). HRQoL was particularly low during periods with restrictions and at the height of the COVID-19 waves in 2020.

CONCLUSION: The SOPHYA-study showed that HRQoL, and especially emotional well-being, was lower in 5 to 11-year-old children in Switzerland during the first year of the pandemic compared to the results from the survey conducted in 2014/15. In the year of the pandemic, the scores were lowest at the height of the COVID-19 waves and their associated restrictions. As it cannot be distinguished whether fear of the disease itself or the restrictions caused this decrease in HRQoL, containment policies should keep COVID-19 infections as low as possible, but still enable children to profit from protective factors such as leisure activities, physical activity and social contact.

Published: November 2021

This study is intended to explain the legal protection given to elementary school children to get the right to education during the COVID 19 period. Because education for children is a child's right that must be fulfilled as a human right. Moreover, the right to education has been explicitly guaranteed in the Amendment to the 1945 Constitution. For this reason, legal research is carried out with an empirical juridical approach which intends to study and analyze the workings of law in society by using secondary data and primary data. The secondary and primary data collected were analyzed qualitatively, then the results were described. Based on an analysis conducted on research conducted in Firdaus Village, Serdang Bedagai Regency, that the right to education for elementary school children during the COVID 19 period was still being fulfilled despite the prohibition on conducting face-to-face learning processes at schools. The implementation of education is carried out through distance learning meetings in the network and distance learning outside the network. In addition, it was also found that there was limited face-to-face learning. However, the use of this learning method takes into account the development of the COVID-19 situation and also the facilities owned by schools, teachers and the condition of students in participating in learning. Schools and teachers evaluate children's education to determine the learning process that will be used.

Nitrogen and Chicken Manure Effect on Corn Growth and Yield in Double Row Cropping Patterns
Authors:   Department of Crop Production, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu, Indonesia, Suprijono Eko
Published: November 2021

Corn (Zea mays L.) is a common food and feed product in the community since it is commonly used as rice substitution as food staple. Fertilizer application is required to attain crop high yields. Plants can receive nutrients from synthetic nitrogen fertilizers (NF) during their growth cycle. However, excessive use of NF might harm the environment. Organic chicken manure (CM), on the other hand, can minimize the harmful impact of NF. Chicken manure benefits to improve the soil’s physical, chemical, and biological properties. To boost maize plant growth and productivity, might employ CM and NF. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of NF and CM on corn growth and yield. This research was conducted in Kembang Seri, Central Bengkulu, Indonesia from November 2019 to February 2020 using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two factors and three replications. The first factor was NF doses (100, 125, and 150 %), and the second-factor consisted of CM doses (0, 10, and 20 tons/ha). Data were analyzed using ANOVA F-5%. On shoot dry weight of corn cultivated in a double row cropping pattern, there was an interaction between the dose of N and chicken manure. At 0 tons/ha, the optimum N fertilizer dose for chicken manure is 135.96 %, or 407.86 kg urea/ha. At a dose of 20 tons/ha, the optimum N fertilizer dose for chicken manure is 141.22 %, or 423.65 kg urea/ha. In a double row cropping pattern, different nitrogen fertilizer doses had no effect on corn growth and yield. The optimal dose of chicken manure was 16.65 tons/ha for plant height, 17.35 tons/ha for stem diameter, 18.89 tons/ha for leaf greenness, 17.35 tons/ha for cob length, 15.01 tons/ha for cob weight, 18.87 tons/ha for dry seed weight/plant, and 19.74 tons/ha for dry seed weight/plot.

Kinetics and kinematics of sprinting in mid and post peak height velocity female athletes
Authors: Talukdar Kaushik , Harrison Dr Craig , McGuigan Professor Mike , Borotkanics Dr Robert
Published: November 2021

Sprinting speed is a crucial physical capacity and can change throughout an athlete’s growth. Previous research has shown that both kinetic and kinematic variables change across maturation in young males. However, due to the changes in growth and hormonal levels, the kinetic and kinematic factors associated with sprinting may vary in young females compared to their male counterparts.  Therefore, determining kinetics (force, maximal power) and kinematics (step length, step frequency, contact time and flight time) associated with sprinting in young females can provide valuable insights into training for this cohort. Thirty-two young female athletes, 11 mid-peak height velocity (PHV) age (12.8±0.6) and 21 post PHV (13.5±0.93) performed two 15 and 30 m sprints each. Theoretical velocity, maximal velocity, step length, force and power max were significantly higher in post PHV girls (p<0.05). Univariate regression analysis reported that the best predictors of velocity (15 and 30 m) were contact time, power max, stride frequency, step length and leg length with contact time being the strongest predictor. The findings of this research provide insight into the natural development of sprinting in young females and will help practitioners specifically develop training programs that can effectively improve sprinting kinetics and kinematics in this cohort.

The Environment of the Covid-19 is a New Physics Illness
Authors:   Health Human International Environment Foundation, Budapest, Hungary, Vincze Janos
Published: November 2021

In our opinion in the past 16 months a new mental illness showed up throughout the world, and we can safely conclude that among all the mental illnesses it rose to first place when it comes to the numbers. As a result, people neglect the way they dress, their own appearance, exact timelines, and schedules have become meaningless, and “social complacency” has become prevalent. Some specific changes in everyday life: drastic setbacks in the classic educational forms; teleworking became dominant; trips abroad disappeared; there are no more visits to relatives and friends; lack of conferences and congresses with in-person interaction; lack of public cultural events: theater, opera, performance, cinema etc. etc. People’s personalities tend to solidify between the ages of 26 and 28 and change very little after.If a serious environmental change occurs (eg unemployment, divorce, homelessness, imprisonment, several years of study abroad, etc.), if this condition is permanent and there is no possibility of close contact with the family and lasts this period lasts for more than a year, an irreversible change appears in one’s personality. The epidemic breaks down middle-aged people who have already developed a set of values and who work schedules they are already used to. People in such a situations cannot return to their old selves. This is a social, global stress. If this pandemic passes, new laws start to gaining ground, a new code of ethics may need to be written for this disease as well.

Ancel Keys gave the formula devised in the 1840's a new name, Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) in the early 70’s. Since then it has become an important parameter for measurement of health. The Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) gives more meaningful information rather than Body Mass Index (BMI). Here we have described the applications of WHR in prediction of certain diseases due to change in WHR values. If both males and females do not maintain proper WHR values, they suffer with many health problems.

Authors:   Department of Microbiology& Immunology, Faculty of Medical Laboratory Sciences, University of El Imam El Mahdi, Kosti - White Nile State -Sudan, Alobaid Ahmed Yousif Mousa
Published: November 2021

Background: Tinea capitis (TC) or scalp ringworm is common in pediatric population with reported rates of infection ranging from 4% to 15 % .T.rubrum is rarely reported in countries with a temperate climate . There is always hair loss with varying degrees of scaling and erythema [1-3]. Objectives: To identify the role of soil, plant & sewage in transmission of ringworm of scalp infection. This study was carried out on Kosti basic school students who suffering from ringworm of scalp (fungal infection) in White Nile state at Sudan in 2020. Methodology, Data Analyses and Results: Due to preservation of this fungal infection among school children in Kosti basic school students, a total of fifty specimens collected from different sources to determine the source of this infection in the area of study, twenty five students who suffering from ring worm of scalp and twenty five from soil, sewage, water and trees in the period between January – December -2020.The samples collected by scraping the scalp by surgical blade and removing the hair with needle and forceps from the peripheral lesion and gathered in filter paper and closed tightly,10% KOH was used to clarify and keratinized tissues. Trees samples were collected by washing the tree’s leaves and with all soil, sewage, water were collected into container. All samples were cultured on sabouroad dextrose agar medium for one week at room temperature. After growth, lactophenol cotton blue staining was used to identify depending on the colonial morphology under microscope and tolook for color, septate, aseptate hyphae, macro, micro conidia and spores. The results showed that there was 68% of isolates from soil, sewage, water and trees were matched to scalp isolates. The soil is significant one of these when Chi-square (X2) was used (P value = 0.027) that means, the source of infection among students may be due to soil transmission. Conclusion and Recommendation: Our results highlight the epidemiology of fungal infection of Kosti basic school students. Further studies are necessary to verify these findings considering the relatively high rate of fungal infection to cover all expected area with similar observation.

Background: Fibroids are commonest benign tumour of the uterus in reproductive age women. Surgical treatment has been the mainstay of treatment for symptomatic fibroids. Recently, hypovitamin D has been associated with fibroid. The aim of the study was to compare the level of vitamin D in women with fibroids and women without fibroids. Aim: To determine and compare plasma levels of Vitamin D in women with uterine fibroids and those without uterine fibroids Method: An institution based case control study comprising of 274 women. It compared the serum levels of 25 hydroxy vitamin D in 137 women with uterine fibroids and 137 women without uterine fibroids as controls. Result: The level of vitamin D in the women with and without uterine fibroids were {13.5ng /ml, (IQR 3.8 – 22.1)} and {52.1 ng/ml, (IQR 30.6 – 75.0)} (P = < 0.001) respectively. Conclusion: The plasma level of 25-Hydoxy vitamin D was significantly lower in women with uterine fibroids and higher in women without fibroids. Subsequently, prompt detection of vitamin D deficiency by screening with effective treatment may reduce the incidence of fibroids and its sequelae in these group of women.

Covid-19 pandemic is a unique situation which has paused the life of individuals all across the globe. The current world crisis has rendered unique experiences for everyone in education, childcare, healthcare, and work culture. As the health departments issued stay-at-home orders for reducing Covid infection risks non-essential organizations quickly shifted to remote working models for cutting down the costs of administrative and infrastructural functioning [1,2]. However, work-from-home (WFH) has also given the scope and freedom for distraction and health hazard, which includes alcoholism and substance abuse. Studies have reported a 54% increase in sales of alcohol commencing March 2020, and online sales from substance purchases have also surged by 262% since 2019 [1]. While some people are taking up excess alcoholism or substance abuse as a defense mechanism for psychological distress caused by the uncertainties of work and life, others are abusing the remote working scenario to indulge in alcohol and addictive substances during work hours. Substance abuse during work can actually pose additional challenges for organizations, H.R. policies, or management. It can have negative impacts on employees’ performance, deliverance, and employability, which consequentially affects their social and personal lives. Additionally, consuming alcohol or other substances can induce health risks in employees. This paper attempts to understand the effects that excess alcohol/substance consumption can have on the job behaviors and performance of employees working from home during Covid. Also, we will attempt to analyze how increased substance abuse can affect the personal health and personal lives of these people during a pandemic situation.

Sino-maxillary mucormycosis is an opportunistic, aggressive, invasive and fulminant fungal infection, which has the ability to rapidly cross anatomical barriers, causing extensive hard and soft tissue destruction, leading to significant cosmetic deformity, functional debility and morbidity. It usually affects susceptible, debilitated or immunocompromised individuals. A descriptive report of an unusual case involving the dentoalveolar complex and thereafter invading the maxillary antrum, in an otherwise healthy, adult patient with nil comorbidities, is presented. A probable intraoral portal of entry, and a likely iatrogenic etiopathogenesis resulting from inoculation of the fungus or its spores during dental extractions carried out in an unsterile setting, has been considered and elucidated. An emphasis has been placed on according a high index of suspicion in diagnosis of this fungal infection even in immunocompetent and healthy adults, presenting with a seemingly simple, deceptively indolent odontogenic infection. The importance of careful, albeit rapid differential diagnosis, and a prompt and aggressive medical-surgical treatment protocol instituted immediately following a confirmatory diagnosis, helps in limiting the spread and degree of destruction which can be caused by this potentially lethal fungal infection.

Cerebral toxoplasmosis is the most common opportunistic central nervous system (CNS) infection, affecting patients with advanced/untreated acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Cerebral toxoplasmosis is caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii typically and it usually occurs in immunecompromised patients with a CD4 count below 100cell/microL [1,2]. Left untreated, symptomatic patients can progress to coma within days to weeks, significantly increasing rates of this population’s morbidity and mortality. Cerebral toxoplasmosis is rarely encountered before the diagnosis of HIV infection is established, which is why seemingly benign neurological complaints can be easily overlooked.
