Authors: Arani Reyhane Hizomi , Naji Zohrehsadat , Moradi Ali , Pooreh Shohreh , Merati Yosra , Shariat Seyed Vahid , Salamati Payman
Published: November 2024

Background:

Empathy is considered paramount to the medical profession because it affects patients’ satisfaction, compliance, and quality of care. It has been studied that medical residents in non-psychiatry specialties (especially general surgery) pay less attention to their patients’ experiences and emotions. This study measured and compared surgical and psychiatric medical residents’ empathy scores.

Materials and Methods:

In 2021, we studied all first- to third-year medical residents of psychiatry and general surgery who worked in hospitals affiliated with the Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran, Iran. Eighty-eight eligible residents, including 53 psychiatric and 35 surgical residents, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The Persian-validated Jefferson empathy scale was used to evaluate empathy among the residents. Chi-square, t-test, and ANOVA were used for group comparisons. A multivariable linear regression analysis was used to find the factors associated with the empathy score. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS version 21.

Results:

The total mean score (SD) of empathy was 104.34 (11.10). Female residents had higher mean (SD) empathy scores compared to their male counterparts (109.21 [9.29] vs. 99.14 [12.72]; p < 0.001), and psychiatric residents scored higher than surgical residents (109.18 [8.91] vs. 96.67 [12.50]; p < 0.001). Psychiatric residency was independently associated with a higher empathy score (standardized coefficients; beta = 0.41, p = 0.001).

Conclusions:

Psychiatric residents have significantly higher empathy with patients than surgical residents. There was also a significant difference among male and female residents. Therefore, it may be recommended that structural education directions be developed for residents to promote empathy during the residency program.

Published: November 2024

Background:

In response to the 2019 Polio outbreak in the Philippines, it is crucial to examine the current understanding and beliefs about the disease. This study assessed the knowledge and attitudes of mothers towards Polio and Polio vaccination in a rural community.

Materials and Methods:

Sixty-two mothers in a selected rural barangay in Negros Occidental, Philippines, participated in this cross-sectional study using a survey questionnaire in July 2021. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were employed.

Results:

The results showed that 43.50% of mothers had a high level of knowledge and 74.20% had a favorable attitude towards Polio and Polio immunization. There was a significant relationship (p = 0.05) between knowledge and attitude towards Polio and Polio immunization.

Conclusions:

This study underscores addressing knowledge gaps through public health campaigns may improve beliefs and perceptions about immunization programs.

Authors: Moradi Mohammad , de Souza Nogueira Lilia , Hanifi Nasrin
Published: November 2024

Background:

Measuring nurses’ workload and related factors in intensive care units and reviewing their staffing is very important during COVID-19. This study aims to compare nurses’ workload and multiple organ failure of patients hospitalized during the COVID-19 in intensive care units and non–COVID-19 intensive care units.

Materials and Methods:

An observational study was conducted with 768 patients hospitalized in intensive care units and Zanjan City (Iran) intensive care units in 2021. The data were collected using the Nursing Activities Score and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment. Data analysis was performed by independent t-test, Chi-squared (χ2) test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r), and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05.

Results:

NAS in non–COVID-19 intensive care units 59.90% (10.03) was significantly higher than that of COVID-19 intensive care units 56.38% (6.67) (p < 0.001). In addition, the SOFA score was higher in the non–COVID-19 intensive care units 6.98 (3.89) than in COVID-19 intensive care units 5.62 (3.98) (p < 0.001). The Nursing Activities Score had a positive and statistically significant relationship with the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment in both units, and this relationship was higher in the COVID-19 intensive care units (r = 0.71). In addition, predictors of NAS were identified as four variables, i.e. consciousness level, SOFA, length of stay, and having an artificial airway (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

Non–COVID-19 ICUs had higher NAS and SOFA scores in the study. Further investigation is needed to identify additional workload aspects in intensive care units.
Blood flow restriction therapy to restore quadriceps wasting persistent after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Authors: Jain Hemant , Agarwal Shubham , Raichandani Kishore , Vaishy Arun
Published: November 2024

INTRODUCTION:

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee that requires surgical intervention. After ACL reconstruction, it has been reported that quadriceps wasting can persist for years even after complete rehabilitation and aggressive physiotherapy. Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is proposed to induce muscle growth and improve strength in chronic muscle atrophy. But the data on the efficacy of BFR therapy are controversial and lacking in the existing literature.

AIMS/OBJECTIVES:

In this study, we focus on identifying the patients having chronic quadriceps wasting after ACL reconstruction and intervene to restore the quadriceps wasting using BFR therapy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

All the participants had unilateral reconstruction of ACL tear >1 year back and completed the standard postoperative rehabilitation protocol but had >10% of difference in quadriceps thickness in the involved limb as compared to contra-lateral limb measured by ultrasonography. They were then proceeded further with BFR therapy and were re-examined after 6 weeks of BFR therapy.

RESULTS:

It was observed that 64% of the participants had persistent quadriceps muscle atrophy even after 1 year of completing standard post-rehabilitation protocol after ACL reconstruction with more than 10% deficit. The quadriceps thickness observed after the BFR therapy increased by 10 ± 7% at one-third of femur length from knee joint and 16.6 ± 4% at two-thirds of femur length in the involved extremity but did not show any change in uninvolved extremity. Post-training quadriceps femoris symmetry index also increased in the involved extremity compared to the baseline (87 ± 5% pre-procedure to 96 ± 4% post-procedure, P <0.01).

CONCLUSION:

This study concludes that BFR therapy after knee surgery may be a viable modality for the treatment of residual atrophy of quadriceps after years of ACLR. This can be used in patients who require extra assistance in resisting muscle atrophy or building muscle strength.

Authors: Ali E M Arshad , Dodani Kiran , Rajpoot Ankur Singh , Goswami Pallavi , Choubey Varsha , Gupta Aanchal
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Chronic inflammation of the tooth’s supporting tissues is known as periodontal disease. It causes pockets to develop, attachments to break, and eventually the loss of teeth. Because of their well-known anti-inflammatory qualities, omega-3 fatty acids have been recommended as an additional therapy for periodontal inflammation.

Materials and Methods:

A randomized controlled study of 60 individuals suffering from persistent periodontitis was carried out. Two groups of participants were randomly assigned: The test group (n = 30) got conventional periodontal treatment with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (1000 mg/day), while the control group (n = 30) received normal periodontal therapy alone. Measurements of periodontal parameters were made at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months after therapy, including bleeding on probing (BOP) and pocket depth. Paired t-tests and analysis of variance were used in the statistical analysis to determine the significance of the group differences.

Results:

Participants in the test group showed a greater reduction in probing pocket depth (PPD) and BOP at both 3 and 6 months. Specifically, the mean PPD decreased from 5.4 ± 0.7 mm to 3.0 ± 0.4 mm, and BOP reduced from 71.2 ± 14.5% to 28.3 ± 9.2% in the test group, with both outcomes showing statistically significant differences compared to the control group (P < 0.01).

Conclusion:

In individuals with chronic periodontitis, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation dramatically improves the decrease of periodontal pocket depth and inflammation when administered as an adjuvant to regular periodontal treatment.
Long-Term Outcomes of Vital Pulp Therapy in Deep Carious Lesions Using Bioceramic Materials
Authors: Alhusainy Abdulmageed
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Vital pulp treatment (VPT) is an essential clinical intervention used to maintain the integrity of the tooth pulp in situations with severe carious lesions. Due to their bioactivity, sealing ability, and compatibility with pulp tissues, bioceramic materials have attracted considerable interest.

Materials and Methods:

This research included a sample of 100 individuals who had acquired deep carious lesions. The participants were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (n = 50) had ventral prosthetic treatment (VPT) using a bioceramic material, whereas Group B (n = 50) underwent VPT with a traditional calcium hydroxide-based material. Initial, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after treatment, clinical and radiographic assessments were conducted. The main outcome measures consisted of dental pulp vitality, lack of discomfort, and radiographic evidence of the development of a hard tissue barrier.

Results:

By the 24-month follow-up, 92% of the teeth in Group A, which used bioceramic material, retained their pulp vitality, but just 80% of the teeth in Group B, which used calcium hydroxide, did the same. Significantly reduced rates of postoperative discomfort were seen in Group A (10%) compared to Group B (25%). The radiographic examination revealed that 88% of patients in Group A displayed effective creation of a hard tissue barrier, whereas only 72% of cases in Group B exhibited comparable results.

Conclusion:

The research verifies that bioceramic materials provide better long-term results in vital pulp treatment for severe carious lesions as compared to traditional materials based on calcium hydroxide.

Authors: Chaudhary Shailaben , Fernandes Shobha , Patel Hardikkumar B. , Mishra Priya , Patel Nishan R. , Bafna Yash , Mehta Miral
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Aim:

This study was conducted to analyze the effects of sealants and resin infiltrant on pre-cavitated lesions in primary teeth (AAS) using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer.

Material and Method:

Forty freshly extracted intact human primary molars were used for the study. All the specimens were then divided into four groups of ten specimens. These groups are treated differently. The specimens were stored in artificial saliva throughout the study. The AAS was then used to assess the calcium dissolution of artificial saliva.

Result:

A comparison of Group III and Group IV established a statistically significant difference found in the amount of calcium dissolution in artificial saliva. Group III showed lesser calcium dissolution from enamel compared to Group IV in artificial saliva.

Conclusion:

Resin infiltration showed more resistance to the release of calcium from enamel as compared to Clinpro Sealant in artificial saliva.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

Evaluation of effectiveness of bioactive glass, self-assembling peptide (P11-4), and arginine bicarbonate remineralizing agents on simulated carious lesion.

Material and Methods:

This research was conducted using 40 human premolar teeth that had just been removed. Remineralization of demineralized teeth was carried out three times a day for 14 days for 5 minutes using the appropriate remineralizing agents (Group A: calcium sodium phosphosilicate (bioactive glass), Group B: self-assembling peptide (P11-4), Group C: arginine bicarbonate remineralizing agents, and control group: Group D: deionized water). Using the Vickers hardness number, the degree of demineralization and remineralization was assessed.

Results:

In every group, there was a drop in microhardness from the baseline to demineralization. In all three test groups, the shift in microhardness values from demineralization to remineralization was shown to be statistically significant.

Conclusion:

Higher remineralizing capacity was found in bioactive glass and self-assembling peptide (P11-4), which can be employed therapeutically to treat early carious lesions.

Police in predali: nekaj pomislekov o socialni zvrstnosti
Authors: Poteko Ina , Stabej Marko
Published: November 2024

Slovenski model socialnih zvrsti jezika ne odseva dejanskega jezikovnega stanja, temveč ga usmerja in posredno tudi predpisuje, katera od zvrsti je primerna za različne sporazumevalne okoliščine, ob tem pa vsaj nakazuje, da so zvrsti med sabo razmeroma jasno zamejene. Nujnost posodobitve pojmovanja jezikovne zvrstnosti se kaže na pedagoškem in raziskovalnem področju, a zdi se, da splošna opredelitev jezikovnih zvrsti, ki bi bila primerna za oboje, ni mogoča.

Authors: Schlamberger Brezar Mojca
Published: November 2024

Prevajanje kot proces soustvarjanja slovenskega jezika vpliva na jezikovno in prevodno normo, ki se hkrati z globalizacijskimi procesi spreminjata. Prevodi so časovno in kulturno determinirani in se oblikujejo tudi v odnosu do prevajalskih strategij in globalnih procesov, ki potekajo v družbi. V prispevku ob primerih kulturno specifičnih terminov, globalizmov in internacionalizmov podajamo pogled na spremembe v prevajanju literarnih besedil, ki so se uveljavljale v zadnjih petdesetih letih.
Neenotnost izbranih slovničnih terminov – kršenje norme terminoloških načel?
Authors: Smolej Mojca
Published: November 2024

Terminološka kriterija ločljivosti in ustaljenosti sta na področju humanistike in jezikoslovja velikokrat kršena. Raznoliko dojemanje npr. medbesednih razmerij lahko sicer privede tudi do napačnih, neutemeljenih opisov, vendar v večini niso usodni. Neusodno, vendar pa neustrezno je to na ravni izobraževanja, predvsem osnovno- in srednješolskega. Tu bi stroka morala paziti, da je učno gradivo usklajeno, in dosledno uporabljati sicer poenostavljeno, izobraževalni ravni primerno, vendar poenoteno in skupno izbrano terminološko izrazje.

Influence of Central and Eastern European countries on EU’s foreign policy
Authors: Velchev Andrey
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the study was to determine the nature and scale of the influence of the states of Central and Eastern Europe on the processes of forming and implementing the foreign policy course of the European Union, con- sidering current international challenges and crises. The paper provides a comparative analysis of the positions of the central and Eastern European countries on key foreign policy issues of the European Union, analyses official documents and statements, and analyses case studies of the main EU crises of recent years to assess the impact of these countries on the establishment of a common position of the Union. It was found that the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have a significant but non-uniform influence on EU foreign policy. An analysis of the positions of CEE countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, the migration crisis, the war in Ukraine and the protests in Georgia revealed differences in their approaches and a certain divergence with the positions of the “old” members of the European Union. In particular, the Visegrad countries have demonstrated a tough stance on migration policy, while the Baltic States have taken a more moderate position. In contrast, there was greater unity in terms of relations with Russia and support for Ukraine, with the exception of Hungary. The study showed that the effectiveness of CEE countries’ influence is limited by internal issues, in particular issues of the rule of law and economic convergence. Despite this, these countries have made significant progress in promoting their interests in the areas of energy security and European neighbourhood policy, in particular through the Eastern Partnership Initiative. It was found that in order to strengthen their role in shaping EU foreign policy, CEE countries need to focus on strengthening regional cooperation, developing expertise on key issues and actively using EU tools, in particular, the enhanced cooperation mechanism. The results of the study show that the influence of CEE countries on EU foreign policy is a significant but ambiguous factor that requires further study, especially in the context of domestic political processes and economic interests of these countries

Saving electrical energy in households is an important aspect of facing the challenges of climate change and the need for better energy efficiency. The study examines how simple steps, such as using energy-efficient electrical appliances, implementing efficient daily habits, and maintaining electrical systems, can significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. By analyzing various energy-saving strategies, this study shows that small actions can have a big impact, both in terms of reducing carbon footprint and saving energy costs for households. This study aims to identify and analyze energy efficiency measures that can be applied in households to reduce energy consumption without reducing comfort. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with a cross-sectional survey design, collecting data through observations, surveys, and structured interviews on several households in urban and suburban areas. The results of the study show that the implementation of simple measures, such as replacing incandescent lamps with LED lights, turning off electronic appliances when not in use, as well as regular maintenance of household appliances, can reduce energy consumption by 20-30% and reduce costs by up to 15-25% per month. In conclusion, energy savings at the household level not only have a positive impact on the household economy but also on environmental protection. The implications of this study show that with the support of government policies and energy providers, the adoption of energy-saving technologies in society can be accelerated, contributing to the national carbon emission reduction target. It is hoped that the results of the study will provide practical guidance for individuals and families to implement effective energy-saving measures, contribute to environmental protection, and improve household economic well-being.

Unity in Diverse Society of Malaysia
Authors: Ebrahimi Mansoureh , Yusoff Kamaruzaman , Idris Asmady
Published: November 2024

Objective: This article aims to use historical institutionalism to examine how the Malay Bumiputera Muslims identity was constructed and analyse people’s responses to related government policies.
 
Theoretical Framework: The role of religion in constructing an identity for Malay Bumiputera (son of the soil) Muslims, who form the majority of the population, is a topic of debate among Malaysians. Since independence in 1957, the supreme law of Malaysia, the Federal Constitution, has pronounced Islam as the official religion but other religious ideologies are allowed to be practiced. Apart from the race riots of 1969, Malaysians have been living in a harmonious and peaceful multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious society; where each ethnicity promotes its own culture, while also respecting other diversities and cherishing differences to promote unity. This study applies the HI framework to examine the identity construction of Malay Bumiputera Muslims and also assess people’s responses to related government policies.
 
Method: For empirical data analysis, the authors employ qualitative method through historical analysis based on authentic sources available in libraries as well as interviews with key informants in order to collect data from their personal opinion and experience. In other words, this comprehensive study has used mixed methods beginning with documentary analysis and using qualitative interviews to support the documentary analysis to achieve our objectives.
Results and Discussion: The government has taken many steps to promote stability and racial harmony. Still, there are hurdles such as economic disparities among ethnicities, education based on vernacular languages, and others. On top of that, there are vast differences in community identity construction between the Malay Peninsula and the Borneo states, Sabah and Sarawak. To some extent, however, this historical setting has shaped Malaysian politics to be primarily centred upon the Malay and Bumiputera racial-hegemony context. This political setting cannot be avoided, but other ethnics are also permitted to form parties to represent their communities.
 
Conclusion: To conclude, this identity construction has been a way to provide unity in diversity in the multi-racial society which is politically and socioeconomically constructed.

Published: November 2024

Background: The Imo State University Teaching Hospital (IMSUTH) located in a rural setting commenced neurosurgical services in January 2016 with a spine procedure as the first case whereas the Imo State Specialist Hospital (IMSSH) located in an urban setting commenced neurosurgical services in April 2021 and spine procedures in August 2021. The presentation of surgically managed spine pathologies in both hospitals were compared. Aims: The study aimed to descriptively compare the number of spine procedures performed in both hospitals including the age and gender distribution of the surgically managed spine patients, the spine pathologies and their distribution. Methods: The surgical records of all spine patients who had surgical procedures at IMSUTH, Orlu, from January 2016 to May 2020 (42 months), and at IMSSH, Owerri, from August 2021 to July 2024 (36 months) were retrospectively reviewed. Results: During the study periods, in IMSUTH, Orlu, there were 27 spine surgeries, giving an average of 1 spine procedure in 2 months whereas in IMSSH, Owerri, there were 157 spine surgeries giving an average of 4 spine surgeries per month. Interestingly the distribution of spine procedures revealed that the highest frequency of spine surgeries was performed in the lumbar spine (n=7, 26% in IMSUTH; n=43, 27.3% in IMSSH) followed by lumbosacral spine (n=6, 22.2% in IMSUTH; n=42, 26.8% in IMSSH) in both hospitals. And quite interesting also is that trauma (n=15, 55.6%) accounted for the highest number of spine surgeries in the rural environment of IMSUTH, Orlu, while degenerative spine diseases (n=113, 71.9%) accounted for the highest number of spine surgeries in the urban environment of IMSSH, Owerri. Conclusion: The study revealed that spine pathologies are not uncommon in resource poor settings especially in the urban environment. There is a male preponderance for spine surgeries. Lumbar/lumbosacral spine pathologies are common in our resource poor settings but trauma related spine pathologies are more common factors for spine surgeries in rural settings. There is need to improve access to spine care in the rural environments.
