Authors: O.A. Adetunji , A.O. Ayedebinu , M.T. Bifarin , O. Oguntoye
Published: July 2022

Surgery is a cost-effective and core component of universal health coverage. Surgical delay is considered to be one of the most upsetting problems affecting patient satisfaction, and it is considered an important challenging issue at most public hospitals as the length of time a patient has to wait after being booked in and registered on the waiting list until the surgery is finally done. The study was a descriptive survey using the quantitative method conducted on Surgical Delays and Associated Factors on Surgical Outcomes among Surgical Teams at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ife Hospital Unit, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. Questionnaires and observation checklists were designed as tools to collect the data about surgical delays and associated factors among surgical teams. A total of two hundred and seventy (270) questionnaires were distributed and administered. The data collected were filled and entered into the computer using freeware data entry and validation program known as Epidata 3.0. The finding revealed that the common factors affecting surgical delays among surgical teams include communication gap [Relative Importance Index (RII) = 0.55], clinical instability of the patient (RII = 0.53), non-availability of an operating space (RII = 0.52), and infrastructure problems (RII = 0.52). Communication gap between the surgical team members is the common factor that leads to surgical delays in the health facility. Establishment of perioperative guidelines and protocols as well as review and reinforcement of existing ones are needed to eliminate the attitudinal and systemic causes of surgical delays.
Psychology of Efl Learners in Saudi Universities: A Literature Review
Authors: Massri Rola Ahmed
Published: July 2022

With a view to gathering insights for EFL proficiency development amongst Saudi EFL learners, this study reviews the empirical literature on the influence of four key psychological factors on learning English as a foreign language. Specifically, the study addressed the following question: In what ways do the psychological factors of attitude, self-efficacy, anxiety and motivation influence the development of English proficiency amongst university learners in EFL settings?. To this end, 49 research articles published between 1990 and 2021 were selected for a systematic review of the selected factors. The selected studies were conducted in diverse university EFL learning contexts spanning 18 countries. Of this number, the highest numbers of studies (in descending order) falling within the criteria of the review were conducted within the Iranian (9), Chinese (8), Turkish (6) and Saudi (5) contexts. The study found that the psychology of EFL learners at the university level is complex and that there are multiple factors linked to the reviewed factors which need to be taken into account by policymakers, curriculum designers, teacher trainers and teachers to ensure effective EFL learning. The findings of most of the reviewed studies suggest that EFL learning is positively perceived by learners, although obstacles to effective EFL learning do exist and attitudes towards learning English seem to be influenced by a wide range of factors including parental support, gender, level of study, community support and motivation. The reviewed research also suggests a link between strategy-use and EFL learners’ self-efficacy and anxiety management. A key implication of these findings for improving the EFL learning experience in the Saudi context is the need to carry out more qualitative and in-depth studies that can help to map and address the actual issues affecting EFL learners. Further, intervention-based, rather than purely survey-based, research can enable Saudi EFL education providers to understand what pedagogical interventions and strategies can work most effectively in the local settings. Longitudinal studies would also enable researchers to understand whether attitudes, self-efficacy, anxiety and motivation evolve over time, and if they do, then what are the factors influencing such development, whether positive or negative. These understandings are key to creating a transformative EFL learning experience for Saudi university students which in turn determines their prospects of success in the academic setting and future employability.

This trial aimed to record the frequency of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients presenting with hypothyroidism. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Niazi Medical and Dental College, Sargodha during Nov 21 to April, 22. We included a total of 130 diagnosed cases of hypothyroidism, a pre-designed questionnaire was used to note patients with hypothyroidism by individual interview and noting demographic data i.e. age, gender, thyroid profile (TSH, T3 and T4). Metabolic syndrome was documented using the standard set of criteria i.e. measurement of waist circumference, blood pressure measurement.3 ml of venous blood was drawn by a trained phlebotomist and sent to biochemistry laboratory for serum triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and fasting blood sugar levels. Results: Of the 130 cases, 37.69% (n=49) were up to 50 years of age and 62.31% (n=81) had age >50 years, 28.46% (n=37) were male and (n=93)71.54% females. We found 71.54%(n=91) cases with metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Hypothyroidism plays an important role in MetS. Routine screening in patients with hypothyroidism may unmask MetS.

Aim: To establish factors resulting in postponement of patients on elective operation theatre list. Material and Methods: The design of this study was Prospective observational study. This study was conducted at department of pediatric surgery King Edward medical university / Mayo hospital Lahore from October 2019 to October 2021. Elective operation theatre list is made one day before elective operation theatre list. Patient information regarding diagnosis and possible cause of postponement was noted on prescribed proforma. Results: The total number of scheduled cases was 3900 (Average of 15 cases per list). Out of these 3545(90.9%) patients got operated while the remaining 355(9.1%) patients were postponed due to different reasons. Thus, the overall rate of postponement was 1.36 patients per list. Out of these 355(n=1) postponed cases, 160(45.1%) cases were cancelled due to operation theatre related reasons like shortage of surgical instruments, medicine and linen. 120(33.8%) patients were postponed due to reasons directly related to patients and parents. 65(18.3%) cases postponed due to shortage of man power. 10 (2.8%) patients, were postponed due to unscheduled holiday and power breakdown of operation theatre. Conclusion: Postponement of patients from elective surgery list is avoidable. Timely optimization and team work can reduce these issues. Keywords: postponement, elective operation theatre list, pediatric surgery.

McArdle’s disease is a Glycogen storage disease (type V) which is caused due to the inherited deficiency of myophosphorylase enzyme required for the breakdown of muscle glycogen. It typically presents with complaints of exercise intolerance, early fatigability, and muscle aches. The disease can be complicated by rhabdomyolysis in severe cases. We present the case of a 27 years old male with McArdleʼs disease who presented with bilateral lower limbs weakness associated with muscle aches and dark colored urine which later turned into anuria. Diagnosis of acute renal failure complicating rhabdomyolysis in background of McArdle’s disease was made. Keywords: Glycogen storage disease, Glycogen phosphorylase, myopathy, rhabdomyolysis
Appendiceal Tourniquet, an extremely rare condition with an equally rare presentation: A case report and an integrative review
Authors: Touseef Arajmand Shah , Hassan Yaqoob
Published: July 2022

Small bowel obstruction is a common surgical emergency and needs timely intervention to prevent the development of complications. Acute appendicitis is a very rare, uncommon, and unnoticed cause of intestinal obstruction. Although functional obstruction due to paralytic ileus is common in acute appendicitis, mechanical obstruction is a fairly uncommon complication of this extremely prevalent disease. Furthermore, a normal appendix causing full-blown small bowel obstruction due to the tourniquet effect on the terminal ileum is exceptionally rare and the diagnosis is often overlooked. This work report on an extremely rare case of mechanical small bowel obstruction caused by a normal appendix forming tourniquet around an ileum loop. A 40-year-old male patient presented with clinical manifestations of small bowel obstruction, and the appendiceal tourniquet was discovered to be the cause during laparotomy. The patient was subjected to an appendectomy. The histopathological examination of the specimen reported normal appendiceal morphology. The case is unique in that it is the first report of a mechanical small bowel obstruction caused by an appendiceal tourniquet with normal histopathology.

Background: The outcomes of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) transferred to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) facility is strongly related to certain demographic and clinical factors, important timelines, door-to-electrocardiography (ECG) time, door-in door-out (DIDO) time, door to balloon time (DTBT), the use of emergency medical services (EMS), and the existence of a STEMI network. In the study, we examined the inter-facility transfer for patients with STEMI analyzing certain characteristics and timings between the involved institutions. Method: This was a retrospective observational study on the inter-facility transfer of patients with STEMI admitted between January 01, 2018, and December 31, 2019. The electronic medical records of both the institutions were used to collect data on patient demographics, clinical characteristics and scores, ECG manifestations, laboratory values, treatment interventions, and outcomes with a major focus on the timelines for door-to-ECG, DIDO, and DTBT. Results: A total of 141 patients with STEMI who were transferred to a PCI center were included in this study. Their mean age was 52.26 ± 12.45 years and were mainly men (87.9%, p <  0.001). Men developed STEMI at a younger mean age (53.15 ± 12.53 years, p = 0.003). Chest pain was the most common notable symptom (129, 91.5%). Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension were noted to be the comorbid factors in a majority of patients (70, 49.6%). Only 47 patients (33.3%, p <  0.001) were brought by EMS. Mean door-to-ECG and DIDO times were 8 minutes (IQR: 4–12) and 32.5 minutes (IQR: 24–46), respectively. Only 112 patients (79.4%) underwent PCI on arrival with a DTBT of 90 minutes (IQR: 70.5–105). Only door-to-ECG time and DTBT could be attained as required in this study (p <  0.001). Conclusion: This study reveals a few beneficial statistics for the inter-facility transfer of patients with STEMI concerning their demographics, clinical characteristics, and important timelines. The door-to-ECG time, DTBT, and DIDO time were in the considerable recommended time, and this reflects the importance of establishing a STEMI network.

Authors: Raffat Sawsan Madhat , Rashid Qabas Naji
Published: July 2022

Two simple, quick, and sensitive techniques for spectrophotometric determination of Cefdinir (Cef) in ‎its pure form and pharmaceutical formulations have been devised. The proposed methods were: (I) synthesis of a ‎Schiff's base between Cefdinir and 4-Chlorobanzaldehayde reagent in an alkaline medium to produce a yellow-‎colored product, (II) diazotization and coupling between (Cef) and Orthophenylenediamime in an alkaline ‎medium to produce an intense yellow colored product. The highest absorptions were measured at 0.568 with the ‎reagent 4-Chlorobanzaldehayde and 0.871 with the reagent Orthophenylenediamime. Beer's Law holds true for ‎‎4-Chlorobanzaldehayde and Orthophenylenediamime at concentrations of (10-200g/ml), (10-135g/ml), ‎respectively, with molar absorptivity of ‎‏105×1.35‏‎ Lmol.cm and 1.66×105 Lmol.cm. The limits of detection ‎‎(LOD) for 4-Chlorobanzaldehayde and Orthophenylenediamime were found to be‏0.021 ‏g/ml and 0.022 g/ml, ‎respectively. The proposed method proved successful in estimating "This medication" in both its pure form and ‎in pharmaceutical formulations.
