Association between health systems and universal health coverage and COVID-19 testing rates in 194 countries: Cross-sectional ecological study
Authors: Lee Sieun , Lee Yuri
Published: March 2024

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of health systems worldwide, underscoring the critical need for robust and resilient healthcare infrastructure in effectively responding to disease outbreaks. This study aimed to address this need by examining the impact of health system indicators and universal health coverage (UHC) on COVID-19 testing rates.
Method
The study used secondary data from international organizations, peer-reviewed journals, and statistical portals. The primary outcome measure was COVID-19 testing rates, and the independent variables encompassed various health system indicators, including healthcare workforce density, the Healthcare Access and Quality Index (HAQ), UHC Coverage Index, and UHC Effective Coverage. The statistical analyses included simple and multiple regression models to determine the effects of these variables on COVID-19 testing rates while accounting for potential covariates.
Findings:
The findings revealed positive associations between health system indicators, UHC, and COVID-19 testing rates. Notably, the HAQ index exhibited the strongest positive correlation with COVID-19 testing rates. Multiple regression models further confirmed the positive relationships between UHC and health system indicators, and COVID-19 testing rates.
Conclusion
The study interpreted the results and underscored the significance of well-functioning health systems and UHC in achieving higher COVID-19 testing rates. This suggests that countries with well-structured health systems, advanced infrastructure, and adequate healthcare workforce are better equipped to conduct efficient testing. Moreover, the study emphasized the link between UHC and COVID-19 testing rates, noting that countries with greater UHC tend to exhibit higher testing rates. These findings contribute to our understanding of the association between health systems, UHC, and diagnostic testing for infectious diseases like COVID-19.

Herbs and herbal products were used as an integral part of traditional medicine for centuries. In India the traditional medicines have unavoidable uses in all aspect of healthcare system and has become a part of lifestyle. The use spreads from treating common cold to serious illnesses like organ failures. Traditional medicines and treatments during the pregnancy period and postpartum has unique roles in maintaining newborn’s health and lactation improvement in mothers. The Palkashayam formulation of Sathavari (Asparagus recemosus rhizome milk extract) is one of such kind, used exclusively as a lactation enhancer. This study focussed on the effect of a medicine which provide sudden enhancement to mammary glands. The growth regulatory potential of formulation studied on both human and mice breast cancer cell lines SKBR33 and C127i using MTT Assay. Palkashayam prepared with milk and water has exhibited good toxicity against both SKBR3 and C127i. Formulation has expresses 48.04% toxicity against C127i in 24hrs with a dosage of 1mg/ml, whereas in human breast cancer cell line SKBR3, the highest toxicity potential expressed is 33.69% in 24hrs at 1mg/ml. Even though the study haven’t reported any trace of formulation inducing cancer cell growth, in SKBR3 it expressed only 1.12% toxicity at 0.001mg/ml dosage. While considering the generalised use of formulation in postpartum treatments, more extensive studies need to be done to ensure the safer use.
Plotting the Major Proteins of Borealpox Virus
Authors: Thomas Sunil
Published: March 2024

In an era marked by rapid environmental transformations, the viability of numerous species hinges crucially on their ability to navigate and adjust to shifting climatic conditions through migration. Yet, amidst this natural quest for survival, a consequential and often overlooked consequence emerges: the inadvertent transportation of a diverse array of parasites and pathogens across landscapes. This phenomenon poses a substantial and tangible threat to global health, particularly in the wake of recent outbreaks and pandemics fueled by zoonotic viruses, which leap from animals to humans. These viruses, originating in animals but capable of infecting humans, serve as poignant reminders of the intricate relationship between human and wildlife health, and the potential dangers of disregarding this delicate balance. In 2015, the borealpox virus (BRPV) [formerly Alaskapox virus (AKPV)], classified as an Orthopoxvirus, was first identified in a woman living near Fairbanks, Alaska. The BRPV causes borealpox disease. The first recorded fatality attributed to BRPV infection occurred in January 2024. Current evidence suggests that BRPV primarily targets small mammals, particularly red-backed voles and shrews, as evidenced by sampling efforts in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. However, it is likely that the virus is more widespread among Alaska's small mammal populations, potentially leading to undiagnosed human infections. Additionally, domestic pets, such as cats and dogs, may also contribute to the transmission of the virus. To date, no instances of human-to-human transmission have been documented, but the lack of diagnostics and vaccines for BRPV remains a concerning gap. This paper aims to address this issue by reporting the structure and epitopes of the major proteins of BRPV. This data could serve as a foundation for the development of novel diagnostics and vaccines to combat BRPV, thereby mitigating its impact on both human and animal populations.

Authors: S Nikitha , S Sachin Kumar
Published: March 2024

This Paper presents the critical challenge of robust obstacle detection in hilly terrain, where irregular terrain poses increased risk to drivers. When navigating irregular and steep landscapes, drivers face visibility issues, increasing the risk of collisions. Existing obstacle detection systems reach their limits where obstacle can be hidden. Our proposed system includes an advanced system for hilly regions by integrating sensor technologies with advanced machine learning algorithms. It uses an Arduino microcontroller with ultrasonic sensors and a servo motor for precise obstacle detection as well as an ESP32 Module equipped with camera for capturing real-time obstacles. The YOLOv2 machine learning model process these images to accurately identify obstacle under various environmental conditions. To ensure timely warnings a Bluetooth module allows communication with the smartphone application that informs the driver of road conditions and alerts him to detected obstacles or potential collision risks. The aim of the project is to significantly improve safety by improving the systems adaptability and accuracy in hairpin bends mitigating collisions and saving lives.
Perspectives of digital competencies. A comparison of different constructs of digital pedagogical competencies
Authors: Ohl Franziska Helena
Published: March 2024

Digital pedagogical competency is a core competency for teachers, yet its definition and assessment methods lack consensus. Authors using different theories and methodologies reach similar conclusions, prompting exploration of overlaps in conceptualizations. Based on the DPaCK-model, three subareas of ‘digital pedagogical competencies’ were examined through a merged version of three instruments, assessing their independence and distinct facets. A total of N = 484 students from Germany took part in the survey. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed high intercorrelations and inconclusive results. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a three-factor structure: (1) general digital competence, (2) learning and teaching-related digital competence, and (3) precautions regarding digital technology. Comprehensive assessment of digital competences needs to take into account that we are dealing with a composite construct.
Sketch in the contemporary social-communication space: development trends
Authors: Havryliuk Inna
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The contemporary stage of mass media development is marked by a change in the genre system. One of the genres that has almost disappeared from traditional media, but actively reacted to the emergence of the network space and became part of it, is undergoing transformational processes, is the sketch.
Relevance and goal. Understanding the trends in the development of sketches at the current stage is relevant, as it provides an opportunity to look at the place and role of this genre in the social and communication space in a new way. The purpose of the study is to outline the trends in the functioning of the sketch genre in the contemporary social and communication space.
Methodology. The research used the methods of scientific literature analysis, analysis and synthesis, typological analysis, and systematization. The chosen methods made it possible to find out the general features of the development of the sketch genre in the Ukrainian social and communication space.
Results. A survey of traditional media showed that today the sketch is almost not presented in them. However, this genre has not completely disappeared, it cannot be classified as marginal. Currently, the sketch is undergoing a process of revival and transformation, reflecting those processes that are characteristic of the contemporary period of development of media activity – the era of post-journalism. Social networks have become a successful platform for its implementation, where this genre acquires a new genre dimension. The most optimal way to realize the genre “status” of a sketch is Facebook – a social communication platform that provides for small-format posts, an active authorial position, which is characteristic of the genre we are considering.
The sketch adapts to the conditions of network discourse, so its genre model also changes: the presentation style is simplified, the visual component is strengthened, etc. The communicative approach to writing is also changing: from the genre of a professional sketch, it is transformed into a genre of amateur journalism. Network sketches became the catalyst of a new socio-communication phenomenon – network literature (virtual literature, Internet literature). Sketches “outgrow” the boundaries of social media and find a literary embodiment in individual publications. The modern media space is characterized by the functioning of both traditional types of sketches and the latest forms.
Conclusions. Sketches are becoming more and more in demand in the modern social and communication space. This genre adapted to the requirements of the “network” discourse and became an integral part of it.

Published: March 2024

Purpose. To analyze how the clinical and morphological features are associated with vital prognosis of iris melanoma patients.

Material and methods. A retrospective analysis included 84 patients (54 women and 30 men) with iris melanoma treated between 2005 and 2019.

The mean age at the time of treatment was 52.3 ± 14.5 years. All patients underwent standard and special ophthalmological examination, including ultrasound biomicroscopy, and followed up for 32 to 196 months (103.1 ± 44 months) after hospital discharge.

Results. Pigmented tumors predominated (72.6% of patients), while others showed a slightly pigmented (15.4%) and nonpigmented forms (12.0%). Most of the patients (67.9%) received an organ preserving treatment, while others (32.1%) had to have a liquidating treatment (enucleation) due to anular tumor growth and secondary complications. Uveal melanoma was morphologically verified in all cases: spindle cell type A (14.3%), spindle cell type B (31.0%), mixed cell (42.8%), epithelioid cell (11.9%). The epithelioid cell type of tumor was more common when the tumor spread to the ciliary body rather than in iris melanoma (p = 0,046), but the spindle cell and mixed cell types were more common than the epithelioid cell type in both groups. An anular growth was typical for the epithelioid cell type of tumor (p = 0.006). The presence of vessels in tumor stroma was found to be more frequent in pigmented (p = 0.005) and non-pigmented forms (p = 0.0009). For pigmented tumors, spreading into the ciliary body was characteristic (p = 0.024).

Conclusion. A retrospective analysis of clinical and morphological factors of iris melanoma patients with an iridociliary localization should that the specific survival was 98.8%, and overall survival was 87%. The data obtained indicated the importance of timely diagnosis of iris tumors for an organ preservation treatment.

Published: March 2024

During large-scale vaccination against coronavirus infection, studying possible side effects after the introduction of the vaccine is of great practical value. We present a rare clinical case of a complication of COVID-19 vaccine prophylaxis. A 40-year-old female patient was diagnosed with a bilateral adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis complicated by corneal erosion and iritis after a LASIK refractive intervention and a subsequent (after 5 days) immunoprophylaxis with the Gam-COVID-Vac vaccine followed by a displacement of the corneal flap due to involuntary friction of the left eye. The corneal flap was urgently repositioned; its adhesion and stabilization were achieved usinga bandage soft contact lens. The timely local and systemic anti-inflammatory and antiviral therapy allowed achieving a successful visual result (1.0). Ophthalmologists need to remain vigilant about possible adverse effects after immunoprophylaxis on the part of the eye, specifically the conjunctiva and cornea. A timely diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications such as persistent corneal opacities that reduce visual acuity, especially in patients who have undergone refractive surgery aimed at achieving the highest possible vision. In our opinion, it is advisable to perform vaccination at least 1 month after the refractive surgery.

Traditional energy sources pollute the environment. Microbial fuel cells are an alternative energy source that can reduce the environmental burden. Microbial fuel cells also remove recalcitrant wastes from wastewater. This research featured the enzymatic potential of microbial isolates obtained from the Abakan Arzhan thermal spring.

The study involved isolates of the genera Geobacter, Thermomonas, and Rhodopseudomonas. The keratinolytic analysis was in line with State Standard R 55987-2014. The chitinolytic activity was determined by injecting a bacterial suspension on Petri dishes with a chitin-containing medium. The lipolytic analysis involved cultivating the isolates in Stern’s glycerol fuchsin broth. The xylan hydrolysis depended on the reducing sugars. The cellulase activity was measured according to the standard method recom mended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The catalase potential was evaluated by the gasometric method on 1% gasoline media. The optimal parameters of consortium cultivation were determined by the voltage generated.

The Geobacter isolate had the maximal keratinolytic activity while the Thermomonas isolate demonstrated the maximal protein hydrolysis (80.1 ± 1.5%). Both Geobacter and Rhodopseudomonas showed good lytic activity against chitin with the lysis zone of ≥ 3 mm. The Geobacter isolate demonstrated as many as 350 units of xylanase activity and 365 units of cellulase activity; Ther momonas had 350 units of xylanase activity and 360 units of cellulase activity; Rhodopseudomonas showed 310 units of xylanase activity and 304 units of cellulase activity. The maximal catalase properties belonged to Geobacter (1.40 units) and Thermomonas (1.38 units). The maximal energy generation by bacterial consortia occurred at pH 8 and 45°C after 48 h of cultivation.

In this research, isolates of the genera Geobacter, Thermomonas, and Rhodopseudomonas from the Abakan Arzhan thermal spring were able to remove recalcitrant components, thus demonstrating good prospects for biological treatment of industrial wastewater.

Authors: Elsayed Abdelhameed , Kheirallah Hatim , Alsuwayh Abdulaziz , Osman Ibrahim
Published: March 2024

Background::

The relationship between ECG changes in dilated nonischemic cardiomyopathy and ejection fraction (EF) is complex and poorly understood. Thus,
this study aimed to identify the most common patterns of ECG associated with dilated nonischemic cardiomyopathy and their relationship to EF.

Methods::

A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted between 2019 and 2022, including 100 consecutive patients with nonischemic dilated
cardiomyopathy. ECG data were rate, axis, left (LBBB) and right bundle branch block (RBBB), first-degree heart block, premature ventricular
contractions, depth of S wave in leads V1 and V2, length of R wave in leads V2 and V6, the ratio of R/S in the lead V4, left ventricular
hypertrophy (LVH), maximum R wave length in leads I, II, and III, poor R wave progression, ST-segment elevation, and T wave inversion.

Results::

The most common ECG pattern associated with cardiomyopathy was T-wave inversion (47%). The EF was 23.9± 8.87% in patients with LBBB
and 25.5± 8.07% in patients without LBBB (P= 0.361). In patients with T-wave inversion, the EF was 23.4± 8.21%, and it was 26.28± 8.35% in
patients without T-wave inversion (P= 0.086). In patients with LVH, the EF was 23.89± 7.84%, and it was 25.5± 8.66% in patients without LVH
(P= 0.354). A negative nonsignificant correlation existed between SV1, SV2, RV2, RV6, R/S V4, and maximum R in I, II, III, and EF.

Conclusions::

The study showed that T-wave inversion was the most common pattern associated with dilated nonischemic cardiomyopathy. The study provided
insight into the negative correlation between EF and SV1, SV2, RV2, RV6, R/S V4, and maximum R in I, II, and III, although it did not reach a
significant level.
Enhancement of Breast Cancer Screening through Texture and Deep Feature Fusion Model using MLO and CC View Mammograms
Authors: Sasikala S. , Arun Kumar S.
Published: March 2024

A common cancer subtype found in women with high mortality and
occurrence rates is Breast Cancer (BC). BC ranks second among the causes of high
mortality rates in women. The annual death rate due to breast cancer surpasses that of
any other cancer type. The global survival rate for patients with breast cancer remains
suboptimal. To enhance this survival rate, it is essential to implement intervention
techniques for early detection and treatment. Screening using the Medio-Latera-
-Oblique (MLO) view and the Cranio-Caudal (CC) view improved the detection of
cancer signs in small lesions. This motivated the radiologist to use both mammographic
views for screening and subsequently to acquire additional information. To automate
this sequential screening process, Image Processing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
techniques are incorporated into these views individually and their results were fused.
Further, feature fusion from both views is analyzed by researchers to enhance the
overall performance of the system. The proposed model is more concentrated on the
extraction and fusion of deep features from the two views to improve screening
efficacy. The effectiveness of the proposed workflow is assessed on mammogram
images taken from the MLO view and CC views of the DDSM dataset. Medical
imaging data in conjunction with Machine Learning (ML) methods are employed for
breast cancer (BC) detection and classification, but they tend to be time-intensive.
Leveraging Deep Learning (DL) algorithms has the potential to further enhance the
detection accuracy.

;This work focuses on improving the detection performance by using a fusion of texture
and Resnet 50 deep feature of MLO and CC view mammograms followed by Support
Vector Machine (SVM) classification. An improved accuracy of 98.1% is achieved
when compared to existing works. Henceforth, this work can be employed for the early
BC diagnosis.

Authors: Haryadi Rudi , Farial Farial , Sanjaya Sanjaya
Published: March 2024

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a major franchise in the Hollywood film industry that tells the story of various superheroes in one story continuity. The popularity of the MCU has skyrocketed in society for 14 years ago and has influenced the development of popular culture today. This paper aims to review the potential of the MCU as one of the big trends in the millennial era in the practice of cinema counseling. The review method used is a literature study, the author reviews various related literature to present a comprehensive discussion. The results of the review suggest that the MCU has great potential to be utilized in cinema counseling, especially for millennial children and teenagers. This is because in essence film is a medium that has been tested to be effectively used to shape, reconstruct, and change the mindset of individuals. In addition, the MCU as a group of superhero films also inserts various moral messages and life lessons that can be abstracted, and used as a metaphor by counselors in the practice of cinema counseling. However, more research is still needed regarding the use of MCU in cinema counseling to become a solid foundation for counselors to practice it.

Published: March 2024

Background

The rapid expansion of telehealth services, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitates systematic evaluation to guarantee the quality, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of telehealth services and programs in the United States. While numerous evaluation frameworks have emerged, crafted by various stakeholders, their comprehensiveness is limited, and the overall state of telehealth evaluation remains unclear.

Objective

The overarching goal of this scoping review is to create a comprehensive overview of telehealth evaluation, incorporating perspectives from multiple stakeholder categories. Specifically, we aim to (1) map the existing landscape of telehealth evaluation, (2) identify key concepts for evaluation, (3) synthesize existing evaluation frameworks, and (4) identify measurements and assessments considered in the United States.

Methods

We will conduct this scoping review in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews and in line with the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews). This scoping review will consider documents, including reviews, reports, and white papers, published since January 1, 2019. It will focus on evaluation frameworks and associated measurements of telehealth services and programs in the US health care system, developed by telehealth stakeholders, professional organizations, and authoritative sources, excluding those developed by individual researchers, to collect data that reflect the collective expertise and consensus of experts within the respective professional group.

Results

The data extracted from selected documents will be synthesized using tools such as tables and figures. Visual aids like Venn diagrams will be used to illustrate the relationships between the evaluation frameworks from various sources. A narrative summary will be crafted to further describe how the results align with the review objectives, facilitating a comprehensive overview of the findings. This scoping review is expected to conclude by August 2024.

Conclusions

By addressing critical gaps in telehealth evaluation, this scoping review protocol lays the foundation for a comprehensive and multistakeholder assessment of telehealth services and programs. Its findings will inform policy makers, health care providers, researchers, and other stakeholders in advancing the quality, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of telehealth in the US health care system.

Stunting, yang berarti pertumbuhan terhambat atau terlalu pendek, diartikan sebagai tinggi badan kurang dari -2 SD (Standar Deviasi) di bawah median standar pertumbuhan menurut WHO. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kejadian stunting pada anak-anak balita berusia 2-5 tahun di Puskesmas Nulle, Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan, NTT. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik kuantitatif dengan desain kasus kontrol, melibatkan 100 sampel, terdiri dari 50 kasus stunting dan 50 kontrol. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan metode consecutive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui pengukuran tinggi badan, wawancara, dan pengisian kuesioner. Data yang telah terkumpul akan dianalisis secara univariat, bivariat, dan multivariat menggunakan program SPSS 24.0 for windows. Hasil uji Chi-Square menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara pola pemberian makan (p-value 0,00), tingkat pendidikan orangtua (p-value 0,02), riwayat infeksi (p-value 0,04), dan kelahiran prematur (p-value 0,00) dengan kejadian stunting. Pada sisi lain, variabel pemberian ASI Eksklusif, tinggi badan ibu, pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan, jarak kehamilan, sanitasi, dan persediaan air tidak menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap kejadian stunting adalah ketidaksesuaian pola pemberian makan pada balita (odds ratio = 7,32) dibandingkan dengan faktor risiko lainnya. Diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut dengan pendekatan mixed untuk memperoleh analisis yang lebih komprehensif, valid, dapat dipercaya, dan obyektif dalam melakukan pengkajian pengaruh terhadap stunting.
