Authors: Min Ji Sang , Min Byung Moo
Published: November 2021

Background:

Laser asymmetric keratectomy reduces the regional asymmetry of corneal thickness.

Objective:

We aimed to describe the clinical outcomes of laser asymmetric keratectomy keratectomy with laser refractive surgery performed to resolve the adverse effects following ophthalmic surgeries.

Methods:

We compared the preoperative and postoperative outcomes and complaints of blurring after performing laser asymmetric keratectomy with laser refractive surgery in 24 eyes of 16 patients with a deviation sum in corneal thickness in four directions >80 µm. Laser asymmetric keratectomy with laser refractive surgery, with full integration of the Vision Up software, was used to analyze the corneal thickness deviation, employed selective laser ablation to create central symmetry on the thicker cornea to reduce regional asymmetry of corneal thickness, simultaneously correcting the refractive power and myopic shift. The pre-and postoperative clinical and topographic findings were analyzed.

Results:

The patients’ age was 37.57±22.30 (range, 23–65) years. The follow-up period was 16.56±3.23 months. The spherical equivalent (p=0.026), sphere (p=0.022), uncorrected distance visual acuity (LogMAR, p=0.045), blurring score (p=0.000), central corneal thickness (p=0.024), sum of deviations in corneal thickness in four directions (p=0.02), distance between the maximum posterior elevation and visual axis (p=0.04), and kappa angle (p=0.031), significantly decreased postoperatively. The efficiency and safety indices were 0.96±0.11 and 1.00, respectively. There was no myopic regression or blurred vision postoperatively.

Conclusion:

Performing laser asymmetric keratectomy with laser refractive surgery improved corneal symmetry and visual acuity and reduced blurring.
Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Optometrists Regarding Low Vision Services in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Ovenseri-Ogbomo Godwin O. , Alghamdi Waleed
Published: November 2021

Purpose:

To address the human resources challenge for the provision of low vision services in Saudi Arabia, this study sought to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of optometrists in Saudi Arabia regarding low vision services. The knowledge and attitudes to low vision services can influence the provision of low vision services by optometrists.

Methods:

A prospective cross-sectional survey of optometrists practicing in Saudi Arabia was undertaken using an online questionnaire designed to elicit the opinions of respondents. The online questionnaire was sent out to optometrists on the official mailing list of registered optometrists and those on the mailing list of the Saudi Society of Optometry.

Results:

Only 26.5% of the respondents correctly indicated the correct designation of low vision in terms of visual acuity. Although 95.8% indicated that optical low vision devices could help people with low vision, 81.6% reported that low vision devices were expensive, and 42.9% felt low vision practice was not profitable. Only 10.4% of respondents provide low vision services in their practice. Insufficient training in low vision care was the main barrier militating against the provision of low vision services.

Conclusion:

The pertinent finding in this study is that about a quarter of the respondents could correctly designate low vision in terms of visual acuity using the World Health Organization (WHO) definition. The study concluded that there was poor knowledge, attitudes, and practices of optometrists in Saudi Arabia regarding low vision, which has implications for the provision of low vision services by optometrists.

Experimental Analysis of Guardrail Structures for Occupational Safety in Construction
Authors: Baruffi Diniane , Costella Marcelo Fabiano , Chamberlain Pravia Zacarias Martin
Published: November 2021

Background:

Guardrails are structures that protect workers from falling from heights at construction sites.

Objective:

The objective is to evaluate experimental models by applying static and impact loads to wood and steel guardrails.

Methods:

Brazilian and international standards were consulted to define the actions applied to guardrails, which were tested experimentally in three models of each material in a full-size prototype.

Results:

The experimental results indicate that the models studied could support the applied loads, and no local or global system rupture occurred. However, the displacements for the static load of 1500 N/m required by Brazilian RTP 01 for both models did not comply with Brazilian standard NBR 14718 because they had displacements above 20 mm, despite meeting other international standards for static testing and impact testing.

Conclusion:

From the results obtained in the experimental tests, it was possible to verify that the structures withstood the applied loads and could be used safely in civil construction works. However, the load requirements of RTP 01 are excessive, and NBR 14718 is not suitable for checking temporary guardrail structures. This demonstrates the need for the Brazilian standard to be revised to guide the dimensioning and verification of structures in order to adapt to international standards.

Comparison of Effects of Two Drugs (Pregabalin & Celecoxib) on 24 hours Post-Operative Pain Intensity in Patients Undergoing Tibia Fracture Surgery
Authors: Eraghi Amir Sobhani , Azizpour Iman , Hajializade Mikaiel
Published: November 2021

Background:

Celecoxib is widely used in post-operative cases because of its ability to reduce postoperative opioid drug use. Currently, the use of this drug is common in post-operative cases. In various studies, pregabalin was used for the management of pain after spinal surgery to reduce the need for opioids.

Objectives:

Since the treatment of tibia fractures and surgery is painful and has a long-term recovery, this study aimed to compare the effect of two drugs (pregabalin and celecoxib) on pain severity at 24 h postoperatively in patients having tibia fracture surgery. This would mark significant progress in taking the proper drug.

Methods:

In this probability clinical experiment, the sample consisted of 50 patients scheduled for tibia fractures, who were selected from the table of random numbers. Then, the patients were assigned into two groups: celecoxib (Group C) and pregabalin (Group P). In the first group, celecoxib was administered to patients at 1 h pre-operatively at a dose of 200 mg and 1 h post-operatively at a dose of 200 mg. In the second treatment group, patients received pregabalin at 1 h pre-operatively at a dose of 200 mg and 1 h post-operatively at a dose of 200 mg orally. Then VAS (visual analog scale) scores were recorded at 6, 12, and 24 h after surgery. Finally, using SPSS software, qualitative variables were compared according to their percentage by the Chi-square test. For quantitative analysis of variables, the mean value of each group was calculated. The comparison of means was made by t-test.

Results:

The VAS score was considerably lower at 24 hours after surgery in the pregabalin group than in the celecoxib-treated group. However, after 6 and 12 h of surgery, no statistically meaningful difference was observed. A less analgesic effect was observed in the group treated with celecoxib than pregabalin, which was statistically significant.

Conclusion:

Pregabalin improves postoperative pain, and it has more analgesic effects than celecoxib.

Individuals
Authors: Shadianloo Shervin , Dancyger Ida , Fornari Victor
Published: November 2021

Background and goals:

The guidelines for transgender care are evolving
and incorporate a multidisciplinary team approach. These roadmaps entail an
understanding of gender development, mental health, and sociocultural factors in
individual and family lives, as well as the specific medical needs in the process of
transitioning and ongoing treatment. New research is continuing to update the best
evidence-based practice. Multiple professional health organizations have published
guidelines. The World Professional Association of Transgender Health has
pioneered the Standard of Care, currently version seven. Other leading
organizations have their own publications with an emphasis on specific relevant
medical needs. In this paper, The World Professional Association of Transgender
Health Standard of Care and the recommendation of multiple psychiatric and
pediatric organizations are reviewed to provide an overview.

Discussion:

Most current guidelines have similar recommendations in providing
care for transgender individuals. The more recent data has shown the benefits of
medical transitioning in youth and updated recommendations in this age group.
Healthcare professionals are encouraged to stay up to date with these current
guidelines. Further research is recommended.
Purification of Drug Loaded Liposomal Formulations by a Novel Stirred Cell Ultrafiltration Technique
Authors: Soni Prakash K. , Saini T. R.
Published: November 2021

Background:

Presently reported methods for purification of liposomal formulations at
laboratory scale have drawbacks of adversely affecting critical quality attributes (CQAs) of liposomes
such as particle size, PDI, drug entrapment efficiency, etc., and are also not amenable for
large scale processing.

Objective:

The present study was aimed to explore stirred cell ultrafiltration technique as a novel liposome
purification method for removal of unentrapped free drug and excess external aqueous
fluid, maintaining the physical integrity of liposomes.

Method:

Purification of brimonidine loaded liposomes (model formulation) was performed by
stirred cell ultrafiltration method, and its functional performance and impact on liposomal particle
size, PDI, and entrapment efficiency were compared with two widely used laboratory scale methods,
i.e., ultracentrifugation and centrifugal ultrafiltration.

Results:

The novel stirred cell ultrafiltration method demonstrated liposomal purification within
~30 min with complete liposomal recovery showing minimal processing impact, i.e., ˂0.25 fold
rise in particle size, ~0.5 fold rise in PDI, and ~4% loss in % entrapment efficiency, respectively.
Whereas ultracentrifugation and centrifugal ultrafiltration methods resulted in ~4 fold and ˃2 fold
rise in particle size, ˃10 fold and ˃5 fold rise in PDI, and ˃25% and ~6% loss in entrapment efficiency,
respectively.

Conclusion:

The unique and product-friendly operational features of stirred cell ultrafiltration
method demonstrated simple, rapid, and efficient liposomal purification without affecting CQAs of
liposomal vesicles. This method was also evidently found to be product-friendly, rugged, versatile,
and scalable up to large production batch processing, overcoming major drawbacks of presently
used methods.

“Morir antes que esclavas vivir”: La voz que cuenta en 98 segundos sin sombra de Giovanna Rivero
Authors: Arnés Laura A. , Abal Silvana
Published: November 2021

This article analyses 98 segundos sin sombra (2014) by Giovanna Rivero, one of the most representative writers of Bolivian “new narrative.” 98 segundos problematizes the gendered matrices of culture, foregrounding young and feminized fictional subjectivities that exercise disobedience as a mode of self-determination. Through the re-appropriation of family history and imposed affects, the protagonists build alternative ways of existence by practising detours and deviations, expressing what Julia Kristeva terms “revolt.” These “revolts” establish a conflictive link with the past and, at the same time, emphasize uncertainty about the future. They enable the possibility of distancing oneself from one’s own memory, giving rise to new figures of temporality and calling into question the idea of “civilization.”

Contemporary English Pain Descriptors as Detected on Social Media Using Artificial Intelligence and Emotion Analytics Algorithms: Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Tan Ming Yi , Goh Charlene Enhui , Tan Hee Hon
Published: November 2021

Background

Pain description is fundamental to health care. The McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) has been validated as a tool for the multidimensional measurement of pain; however, its use relies heavily on language proficiency. Although the MPQ has remained unchanged since its inception, the English language has evolved significantly since then. The advent of the internet and social media has allowed for the generation of a staggering amount of publicly available data, allowing linguistic analysis at a scale never seen before.

Objective

The aim of this study is to use social media data to examine the relevance of pain descriptors from the existing MPQ, identify novel contemporary English descriptors for pain among users of social media, and suggest a modification for a new MPQ for future validation and testing.

Methods

All posts from social media platforms from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019, were extracted. Artificial intelligence and emotion analytics algorithms (Crystalace and CrystalFeel) were used to measure the emotional properties of the text, including sarcasm, anger, fear, sadness, joy, and valence. Word2Vec was used to identify new pain descriptors associated with the original descriptors from the MPQ. Analysis of count and pain intensity formed the basis for proposing new pain descriptors and determining the order of pain descriptors within each subclass.

Results

A total of 118 new associated words were found via Word2Vec. Of these 118 words, 49 (41.5%) words had a count of at least 110, which corresponded to the count of the bottom 10% (8/78) of the original MPQ pain descriptors. The count and intensity of pain descriptors were used to formulate the inclusion criteria for a new pain questionnaire. For the suggested new pain questionnaire, 11 existing pain descriptors were removed, 13 new descriptors were added to existing subclasses, and a new Psychological subclass comprising 9 descriptors was added.

Conclusions

This study presents a novel methodology using social media data to identify new pain descriptors and can be repeated at regular intervals to ensure the relevance of pain questionnaires. The original MPQ contains several potentially outdated pain descriptors and is inadequate for reporting the psychological aspects of pain. Further research is needed to examine the reliability and validity of the revised MPQ.

Authors: Tao Duan , Du Xuebei , Hu Lin , Yu Wangbo
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

In China, Internet plus healthcare is believed to be able to break the predicament of medical information asymmetry and unreasonable medical resource allocation and solve the difficulty and high cost of getting medical service problems. However, the new development trends of China’s Internet hospitals under the effect of COVID-19 pandemic have not yet been systematically studied.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this research was to review the development status quo of China’s Internet hospitals and summary their challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and predict their future trends.

METHODS

Data on Internet hospitals were acquired through the Baidu search engine for results up until December 31, 2020. Then, more detailed information from the official websites and apps of 264 online hospitals were obtained according to the results of the search. Finally, a database for descriptive analysis was formed.

RESULTS

As of December 31, 2020, the number of registered Internet hospitals nationwide has reached 1004. Among these registered Internet hospitals, the sponsors are various, where public hospitals are becoming the main force in the construction of Internet hospitals, accounting for nearly 70%. They can be roughly divided into three types in terms of development pattern: Internet hospital independently built by hospitals (H-type), Internet hospital jointly established by hospitals and enterprises (H+I-type), and Internet hospital independently set up by enterprises relying on physical medical institutions (I-type), where H-type is the mainstream form, accounting for 61.0%.

CONCLUSIONS

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has promoted the development of Internet hospitals and the government has put forward management measures such as availability of medical insurance coverage, they still had not yet matured and faced various issues.

Entikong is one of Indonesia's land border areas with Sarawak Malaysia, which is the gateway for economic and business activities. Despite being the front porch of a country, the fact is that the border areas of the State are very conditioned with lag. Limited access to public service resources and the inadequate community ability in processing natural resources including agriculture and plantations are the dominant factors influencing the lag of a border area. Bamboo is one of the abundant forest products in Entikong. The use of bamboo in the community is still limited to its use as building materials (scaffolding) and as a protective fence for plants in the gardens of the citizens. Bamboo Rope (Gigantochloa hasskarliana Kurz) species of bamboo found in the Entikong region, where elsewhere it generally makes it as a household handicraft material, but has not been used effectively in the entikong region. Community service activities aim to improve the skills of the Entikong community in processing bamboo plants as handicrafts of household goods of economic value so that it can be an additional source of income for the people on the border

Entikong adalah wilayah perbatasan darat Indonesia dengan Sarawak Malaysia, yang menjadi gerbang kegiatan ekonomi dan perniagaan. Meskipun menjadi beranda depan dari suatu negara, kenyataannya bahwa wilayah batas negara sangat sarat dengan ketertinggalan. Keterbatasan mengakses sumber-sumber pelayanan masyarakat dan kemampuan masyarakat yang tidak memadai dalam mengolah sumber daya alam termasuk pertanian dan perkebunan merupakan faktor yang dominan memengaruhi ketertinggalan sebuah wilayah perbatasan. Bambu adalah salah satu hasil hutan yang kelimpahannya besar di daerah Entikong. Pemanfaatan bambu dalam masyarakat masih terbatas pada penggunaannya sebagai bahan bangunan (perancah) dan sebagai pagar pelindung tanaman di kebun-kebun warga. Bambu tali (Gigantochloa hasskarliana Kurz.) adalah salah satu spesies bambu yang terdapat di wilayah Entikong. Di tempat lain umumnya menjadikannya sebagai bahan kerajinan rumah tangga, tetapi belum dimanfaatkan secara efektif di wilayah Entikong. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan warga masyarakat Entikong dalam mengolah tanaman bambu sebagai kerajinan alat-alat rumah tangga yang bernilai ekonomis sehingga dapat menjadi sumber penghasilan tambahan masyarakat di perbatasan tersebut.

Safety Awareness at Sea: Perspectives from Marine Unit, Royal Malaysian Custom Department
Authors: Anuar Herman Shah bin , Teh Zahuren bin
Published: November 2021

Law enforcement officers face many dangerous and stressful situations in the line of duty. Some, such as gun violence, are obvious; other dangers (e.g., fatalities while working at sea) are hidden but common and can hinder officer performance. Officer performance is also affected by training and other factors. This article uses best-practice research to examine the relationship between safety culture, safety training, employee involvement, and safety awareness at the workplace, specifically to law enforcement employees working at sea. Safety awareness considered a vital element in every organization to enhance their employees’ performance. Quantitative research methodology was applied to examine the relationship between independent variables and dependent variable. The questionnaire are divided into five sections, covering demographic factors, safety culture, marine safety training, employee involvement, and safety awareness at the workplace. A total of 30% of 550 employees from the Marine Unit of the Royal Malaysian Customs Department were selected randomly as respondents. This study indicates that safety culture, safety at sea training, and employee involvement have a significant positive relationship to safety awareness at the workplace. A recommendation is then offered for law-enforcement safety management that can apply to the Marine Enforcement Unit of Royal Malaysian Customs to eliminate accidents, injuries, and fatalities at sea in the marine enforcement profession. The Marine Customs law enforcement professionals may benefit from studying the safety practices and safety management systems implemented in other high-risk professions to develop more effective programs that prioritize safety and mitigate risk in the workplace, especially safety at sea. The high-risk environment and nature of work conducted by Marine Customs law enforcement officers demand a holistic and dedicated approach to safety to reduce fatalities and injuries throughout the profession.

Published: November 2021

Abstract: This proposed invention is related with multipurpose device which is intelligent id card provided to the employee will help track and trace by connecting to the respective corporate server network. This server acts as a central intelligence and provides a dashboard that will help set up and get data and insights. These constantly monitor the smart cards and transmit their position to the central system. Many important multi-tasking tasks can be performed using this smart ID card which has the ability to provide real-time location information and also automatically identify if the person is where they should be. Accidents, such as a person walking into a danger zone, can be easily reported. In the event of a fire, you can quickly find the total people count along with the latest positions. The crowding of places such as offices, shops, workplaces, bathrooms, canteens, etc. it can be reported in real-time in order to avoid any infections. The temperature measurement alone is useless if the readings are not associated with the employee and are recorded to analyses trends. The proposed ID card will keep track of the number of times the employee has washed their hands. If not, a social notification will be raised. With real-time monitoring, you can easily provide daily attendance data to HR for payroll calculation and contract work invoice review. The employee's Bluetooth tag will help track time spent within the authorized area and will sound an alarm if the person enters a danger zone, all in real-time. The employee tag will allow the employee to send an SOS signal in case of any danger or panic situation. It will not be necessary to keep an attendance register. The tag will automatically record the time of entry and exit. A body sensor attached to the ID card will detect if the card is moved away from the body and kept aside. Hence, there is no possibility of cheating. The battery inside the card would last 5 to 10 years. IP 65, therefore resistant to water and rain. No maintenance is required.
