Published: June 2024

Background and aims: COVID-19 has emerged as a novel pandemic, emphasizing the crucial role of prevention and quarantine measures. Compliance with these measures becomes particularly important for individuals in close contact with COVID-19-infected individuals. This study aimed to investigate the level of quarantine compliance among individuals who had close contact with COVID-19 patients in Hamadan province, as well as identify predictors associated with compliance. Methods: This descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted between March and July 2022, involving 350 individuals who had close contact with COVID-19 patients in Hamadan province, Iran. A researcher-designed questionnaire was employed to gather participants’ demographic and clinical information, as well as their adherence to quarantine principles, through a 7-question assessment. The collected data were statistically analyzed using Stata software, version 16. Results: The study participants had a mean age of 40.23±12.91 years. The rate of good compliance with quarantine measures among individuals in close contact with COVID-19 patients was found was 58.66%. Adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed that men in close contact with COVID-19 patients had a 1.66 times higher chance of complying with quarantine compared to women (odds ratio [OR]=1.66, 95% CI=1.06, 2.56), P=0.025). Additionally, individuals over the age of 60 who had close contact with COVID-19 patients exhibited a 2.28 times higher chance of non-compliance with quarantine (OR=2.28, 95% CI=1.17, 4.45, P=0.015). Conclusion: Demographic characteristics could significantly influence compliance with quarantine principles among individuals in close contact with COVID-19 patients. Addressing these factors is crucial for effective health planning and patient education in the country.

Published: June 2024

Background: This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of different dual-task training methods on balance and cognitive function in the elderly. Methods: The participants in this study were 36 elderly individuals aged 65 years and older who met the research entry criteria. The selected individuals were divided into three groups, 12 people each, based on the pre-test Berg balance scores. The research groups included two dual-task balance training groups, one with fixed and one with variable priority, and a control group. The Berg balance test was used to assess functional balance in the elderly, and the serial reaction time test was used to assess cognitive function. Data analysis was conducted using covariance analysis and the Bonferroni post hoc test. Results: The data analysis showed no significant difference between the control group and the dual task groups with fixed and variable priority in the balance test. The serial reaction time test results indicated a significant difference between the control group and the dual-task practice groups with fixed and variable priority. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the two dual-task practice groups post-intervention. Conclusion: This research demonstrated that dual-task training, particularly with variable priority, resulted in faster information processing in the elderly. Therefore, it appears that, in addition to the theory of limited attention capacity, other mechanisms, such as the allocated attentional ability, can effectively impact cognitive performance.

Published: June 2024

Background: Recurrent oral ulcers are the most common complaint of patients with Behçet’s disease (BD) and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). Enhanced innate immune response and neutrophilic activity might be a possible etiopathogenesis of BD. This study aimed to determine the significance of salivary human neutrophil peptide (HNP 1-3) in BD and RAS patients and detect their correlation with different clinical presentations, disease activity, and characteristics of oral ulcers. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 25 BD patients and 25 RAS patients as well as 25 healthy participants. Five cubic centimeters of unstimulated saliva was collected and levels of HNP 1-3 were measured by ELISA. Other data were obtained through interviews, examinations, and reviews of medical records. Finally, data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software. Results: Salivary HNP 1-3 levels were not significantly different between the study groups (P=0.282). Duration of oral ulcers did not correlate with HNP 1-3 levels in RAS and BD patients (P > 0.05). Also, BD patients with involvements other than oral ulcers were not found to have different levels of HNP 1-3 compared to those who did not manifest these conditions. Conclusion: The validity of HNP 1-3 to be used as a probable biological marker for evaluation, diagnosis, and estimation of disease activity in patients with BD and RAS is still questionable according to our results.

Authors: Darvishi Nahid , Poorolajal Jalal , Azmi-Naei Bita , Farhadi Mehran
Published: June 2024

Background: Numerous epidemiological studies have explored the relationship between social support and suicidal behaviors; however, the overall impact remains unclear. Therefore, a systematic assessment of the association between social support and suicide is necessary. Study Design: This is a systematic review study. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases until March 2023 and screened reference lists for relevant studies. Epidemiological studies that investigated the associations between social support and suicidal behaviors were included. Furthermore, between-study heterogeneity was investigated using I2 statistics. In addition, the likelihood of publication bias was evaluated using the Begg and Egger tests, and a trim-and-fill analysis was conducted. The overall effect size was calculated as an odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a random-effects model. Results: Out of the 21004 identified studies, 118 studies (involving 692266 participants) met the eligibility criteria. The analysis of data revealed a significant inverse association between social support and suicidal ideation (OR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.76-0.82), suicide plans (OR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.79-0.95), suicide attempts (OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.94-0.98), and suicide death (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.75-0.96). Moreover, significant heterogeneity was observed across studies, but there was little concern regarding the presence of publication bias. Conclusion: Our meta-analysis provides clear evidence for a significant inverse association between social support and suicidal behaviors. However, the observational nature of the included studies and the significant heterogeneity observed across studies highlight the need for further research, including prospective studies and intervention trials, to explore the complex relationship between social support and suicidal behaviors.

Published: June 2024

Background: Cognitive function is crucial during aging. This study assessed the cognitive function of European adults aged 50 and over in relation to handgrip strength and physical inactivity. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional survey. Methods: Data were collected from 41,395 adults from 27 European countries participating in the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) during 2019-2020. Cognitive function was assessed based on five tests, and cognitive impairment was defined using 3+tests. Handgrip strength and physical inactivity were also correlated through the analysis of covariance using a complex study design. Results: The majority of participants were female (56.6%), with a mean age of 70.9 years, and 22.6% presented multimorbidity. Furthermore, 51.1% had a normal cognitive function, while 13.3% had cognitive impairment (The estimated population was 21,944,722). Moreover, cognitive impairment was more prevalent in females than in males (14.4% vs. 12.0%, P<0.001) in patients with no years of education (P<0.001) and origin from southern European countries (P<0.001). Additionally, participants with cognitive impairment had lower mean handgrip strength compared to those with cognitive impairment in 1-2 criteria or with normal cognitive function (29.3 vs. 33.4 and 35.1 kg, respectively, P<0.001). Physically inactive participants had higher odds ratio (OR) of cognitive impairment than those engaging in moderate/vigorous physical activity, both in 1-2 tests (OR:1.73, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.32-2.26) and in 3+tests (OR: 3.36, 95% CI: 2.57-4.40). Conclusion: Cognitive impairment presented low prevalence and was associated with low levels of handgrip strength and physical inactivity. These specific factors may play a special role in early detection, diagnosis, and treatment or may slow down the progression of cognitive impairment.

Authors: Bhandari Ganesh , Dhital Shalik Ram , Khatri Dipika , Bhandari Tulsi Ram
Published: June 2024

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in adolescents are among the major public health challenges that have to be prevented in time. Traditional education falls short of reach; social media offers accessible ways. However, there is no research on such an issue in Nepal. Accordingly, this study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a social media-based health education intervention in changing the intention of promoting sexual health among adolescents in Nepal. Study Design: A quasi-experimental study. Methods: A total of 160 adolescent students aged 14–19 years old from four purposively selected schools were evenly divided into intervention and non-intervention groups. Sampling and data collection were performed between May and June 2023. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires for pretest and posttest evaluation. The intervention was delivered and followed up through a Facebook Messenger group. The obtained data were managed and analyzed using SPSS 21, with a significance level of 5%. Results: Social media-based health education interventions played a significant role in promoting the sexual health behavior of adolescents. The adolescents’ knowledge and attitude scores on STIs increased from 2.33 to 4.62 and from 21.87 to 26.30. In addition, their scores on subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions in promoting sexual behavior increased from 13.93 to 17.59, from 19.96 to 25.40, and from 13.07 to 18.06, respectively, which were statistically significant. Conclusion: The utilization of social media platforms such as Facebook Messenger groups is an effective medium for delivering health educational messages. Hence, increasing social media-based health education is a cost-effective intervention for promoting the health and sexual behaviors of adolescents.

Background: Investigating the prevalence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in asymptomatic children who have been in close contact with symptomatic individuals is instrumental for refining public health approaches, protecting vulnerable populations, and mitigating the broader impact of the pandemic. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the incidence of COVID-19 infection in asymptomatic children who had been in close contact with parents exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 175 asymptomatic children who had been in close contact with COVID-19 confirmed cases in Hamadan County from March 2021 to August 2021. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing was performed on all asymptomatic children who had been in close contact with an individual with COVID-19. Furthermore, multiple logistic regressions were conducted to determine the predictors of COVID-19 transmission from family members to children. Results: Out of the 175 children in close contact with index cases, 53 (30.29%) tested positive for COVID-19 through PCR. Regarding factors related to the index case, male cases (Adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.29; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-5.09, P=0.041), rural dwellers (AOR=3.22; 95% CI: 1.02-10.16, P=0.046), illiterate cases (AOR=8.45; 95% CI: 1.76-40.65, P=0.008), and cases presenting with nasal congestion symptoms (AOR=9.12; 95% CI: 2.22-37.40, P=0.002) were more prone to transmitting the virus to children who had close contact with them. Conclusion: The findings of the present study suggested that asymptomatic COVID-19 infection in household contacts is significant in children who were in close contact with a COVID-19-positive patient. Therefore, it is crucial to continue to monitor this group closely.
The obesity paradox in patients with major burn injuries: a single tertiary burn centre review
Authors: Pollock Michaela , Paul Eldo , Lo Cheng Hean
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The obesity paradox is a phenomenon described in medical literature where overweight and obese patients have improved survival and better health outcomes. The obesity paradox is of curiosity to many clinicians as the general consensus in medicine has been that a higher body mass index results in poorer health outcomes in both medical and surgical conditions. The aim of this study is to determine whether the obesity paradox exists in our patients with major burn injuries. To our knowledge, this has not been previously investigated in the Australian major burn population. Methods: This is a retrospective study involving patients with major burn injuries > 20 per cent total body surface area admitted to the Victorian Adult Burns Service (Melbourne, Australia) from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2020 (five-year period). Information collected included patient demographics, weight and height, and nature of burn injuries. Primary outcome of interest was inpatient mortality, and secondary outcomes included hospital length of stay, intensive care unit length of stay, duration of ventilation support required and presence of bacteraemia. Results: A total of 1704 patients were admitted, of whom 165 patients met inclusion criteria for analysis. The vast majority of 31 patients (18.8%) who died during admission were palliated. The obesity paradox did not exist in this study population. Furthermore, although not statistically significant, higher levels of body mass index showed increased risk of mortality. There was no significant association between body mass index and hospital length of stay (p = 0.16), intensive care unit length of stay (p = 0.72), duration of ventilation support (p = 0.62) nor bacteraemia (p = 0.68). Conclusion: The emerging evidence regarding the obesity paradox in the burn surgery literature is inconsistent. We contend that differences in burn management, including palliation of patients with major burn injuries, contribute to these findings.

Published: June 2024

This research aims to explain the level of resilience in adolescents who have been victims of cyberbullying. The method used is descriptive quantitative by sending surveys trough Google Forms. The research respondents consists of 73 adolescents aged between 13 to 18 years who have experienced cyberbullying. The measurement instrument tool used in this study refers to the aspects of resilience according to Connor and Davidson (2003), which include of personal competence, trust in instinct, positive acceptance of change and secure relationship, self-control and factors, and spiritual influences. The analysis results show that the empirical average resilience score is 101.45, classified as high with a standard deviation of 19.16. High resilience levels indicate that adolescents who are victims of cyberbullying have the ability to cope and recover from negative impacts such as stress and depression. This is reflected in the high personal competence of cyberbullying victims, including the ability to manage emotions, make appropriate decisions, and build healthy interpersonal relationships. They also have strong trust in their instincts, which includes belief in their own ability to overcome problems and face challenges. Good self-control also supports resilience because adolescents who are victims of cyberbullying can control their emotions and behaviors, making it easier for them to recover from traumatic experiences. Addiotionally, high social support plays a crucial role as it provides support and attention, helping these adolescents feel supported and not alone in facing their problems. Furthermore, spiritual influence with belief in assistance from the divine being indicates that these adolescents have spiritual beliefs and trust in higher power to be a source of strength and calmnessin facing difficulties.

The suppression of stochastic effects is the most important issue in the development of resist materials. To suppress the stochastic effects in chemically amplified resists, a high acid generator concentration is required, which, however, likely affects the dissolution kinetics of resist films. In this study, the effects of substituents in the phenyl group of triphenylsulfonium triflate (TPS-TF) on the decomposition and dissolution kinetics of poly(4-hydroxystyrene) (PHS) films dispersed with monosubstituted TPS-TF were investigated using electron pulse radiolysis, γ-radiolysis, electron radiolysis, and quartz crystal microbalance. The phenyl group of TPS-TF was substituted with fluorine, iodine, or methyl groups at the fourth position. The electronegativity of the substituents had little effect on the reaction rate of the methanol-solvated electrons. The dipole moment of the TPS cation affected the C-S bond cleavage. The monosubstitution of the phenyl group of the TPS cation significantly affected the dissolution rate of the PHS films.

Stocks are an essential part of investment, often known for their fast-paced price fluctuations. Investing in stocks also requires strategies for deciding and predicting future stock prices, with current methods including technical, sentiment, and fundamental analysis. The aim of this research is to predict stock prices for PT Bank Central Asia's stock data from 2019 to 2024 using a deep learning classification algorithm, namely Gated Recurrent Units (GRU). The implementation of the model here is to find values such as RMSE, MSE, MAE, R-Squared, MGD, and MPD, and for evaluation metrics, values such as accuracy, f1-score, precision, and recall are sought. The dataset is divided into two models: training data and test data, with a model split of 80:20 and 60:40. The research results also indicate that the use of the 80:20 model appears to be better than the 60:20 model with a lookback of 15, timestep of 15, and epoch of 50, which yields RMSE 1.039, MSE 1.079, MAE 0.842, R-Squared 0.983, MGD 0.0037, and MPD 0.0197, along with an accuracy result of 54.87%, recall of 59.23%, f1-score of 58.11%, and precision of 57.03%.
