Authors: Ilankoon Ilankoon Mudiyanselage Prasanthi Sumudrika , Kisokanth Gnanaselvam , Warnakulasuriya Sudath Shirely Pathmasiri
Published: November 2020

“Novel Corona Virus” (COVID-19) is a new infectious disease spreading all around the world that has a globally significant morbidity and mortality at present. Nurses as frontline care providers in hospitals and community are exposed to a major risk. This brief report aims at providing an overview of COVID-19 impacts on Sri Lanka and to highlight educational implications from the perspective of nursing degree programs. The major impacts of COVID-19 on nursing education were unequal access to online distance learning, disruption of academic calendars, cancellation of clinical placements, teaching and learning gap, lack of facilities for online learning, disruption towards professional development, and inability to conduct proper clinical assessments and standard operationalization procedures. It suggests that higher education institutions should take actions to provide material support for students from low-income households to close the gap between teaching and learning and training academics on different online teaching and learning strategies and assessments.

Published: November 2020

Sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the early postoperative period following intracardiac repair for tetralogy of Fallot is rare. In stable VT, amiodarone forms the mainstay of management. However, where amiodarone and other antiarrhythmic drugs are contraindicated, suppressive overdrive atrial pacing can be used as a safe and efficient alternative to maintain cardiac output. We present a case of 1-year 5-month-old child who developed VT with low cardiac output syndrome with deranged hepatic function, who was managed efficiently using suppressive atrial pacing to ameliorate the effects of sustained VT.

Authors: Mukharjee Sanjeev S , Mohapatra Soumya Kanti , Mukherji Aritra , De Arnab , Singhi Anil Kumar
Published: November 2020

A 10-years-old boy presented with a history of effort intolerance and palpitations for 4 months. His electrocardiogram showed wide complex tachycardia suggestive of fascicular ventricular tachycardia (VT). The echocardiogram showed moderate-to-severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction without any structural lesion. The tachycardia was unresponsive to adenosine and direct current cardioversion. It responded to oral verapamil. The electrophysiology study confirmed the tachycardia as left posterior fascicular VT. The tachycardia was successfully ablated guided by Purkinje potential on three-dimensional mappings. He showed improvement in ventricular functions before discharge. He is doing well on short-term follow-up.

Published: November 2020

Background:

The pacemaker lead placement is presented as one of the most appropriate procedures in children with a complete atrioventricular block (AVB). Despite the fact that video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for epicardial lead placement has demonstrated positive results as to the feasibility, safety, and efficacy in adults, its role in pacemaker implantation in children remains unclear.

Aim:

This study sought to assess the intermediate-term outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic pacemaker lead placement in children with complete AVB

Materials and Methods:

From May 2017 to November 2019, five children with complete AVB underwent minimally invasive left ventricular (LV) lead placements via thoracoscopic video assistance approach. The procedure was performed under complex intratracheal anesthesia with single-lung ventilation, all pacing parameters were evaluated in perioperative and follow-up periods.

Results:

The median age of children at implantation was 3 years (range: 2 to 4 years), the median weight was 13 kg (range: 12–15 kg). All procedures were completed successfully, pacing thresholds for the active lead measured 0.3-1.1V, with R-wave amplitude of 8-18 mV and impedance of 560-1478 Ohm.

Conclusion:

Thoracoscopic pacemaker lead placement may provide a potential alternative to the transthoracic approach of epicardial lead placement in children with AVB.

Performance of an innovative gravity-driven micro-filtration technology for roof rainwater treatment
Authors: Shiguang Chen , Hongwei Sun , Qiuli Chen
Published: November 2020

Rainwater harvesting has become an important strategy to achieve the goal of sustainable development in urban areas. The latest emerged gravity driven micro-filtration technology can effectively reduce turbidity and bacteria to a very low level but still have disadvantages of low removal of dissolved organic substances and low permeate flux. An innovative gravity driven micro-filtration technique using ceramic flat sheet membrane as filter module was established and introduced to the treatment of rainwater that was harvested from a typical official building in GuangZhou, South China. The performance of this process has been evaluated in terms of pollutants (e.g. pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), CODcr, NH3-N, DOC,UV254, total Coliforms and E.coli) removal efficiency, and the permeate flux profiles. Results shows that the removal rates of turbidity, TDS, CODcr, NH3-N, DOC,UV254, Coliforms and E.coli were 92.2%, 91.9%, 65.5%, 42.6%, 76.9%, 61%, 96.9% and 95.5%, respectively. The GDM system can run continuously for 60 days without back washing, and the permeate flux stabilized at 22~45 L/(m2·h) under a constant water head of 20 kPa. Experimental results demonstrated that the GDM system employing a ceramic flat membrane can significantly improve the organics removal in rainwater.

The accreditation standards developed by WFME are acknowledged as regulatory mechanism for quality assurance of medical education programs. The scoping review aims to collect all the published and unpublished evidence based on the inclusion criteria, to identify the barriers affecting the implementation of quality curriculum defined by WFME. It summarizes and presents the evidence-based challenges faced by middle and low income countries for accreditation process. The literature was searched using search terms, `challenges of WFME accreditation’, `barriers to accreditation’, `challenges to accreditation in health care system’, `hindrances to WFME accreditation standards’, `barriers to WFME standards’, in PubMed, ERIC, PsycINFO databases and Google scholar (for grey literature) to find the evidence published within last 10 years. This search strategy retrieved 922 publications and only 19 articles fulfill the inclusion criteria. A All those studies, which address the barriers or challenges to implementation of accreditation standards in medical education, were included. The inhibitors to implementation of curriculum in course other than medical education were excluded from the study. The included studies address the barriers to nine areas of WFME standards. The data was charted and QualSyst appraisal tool was used to appraise the quality of studies included in review. The eligibility of selected articles was carried out by using the validated QualSyst checklist to assess the quality of included studies.  The scoping review will inform and lay the foundation for more empirical studies on quality improvement in health professions education particularly in low and middle-income countries.

If not immediately anticipated it will take effect very broad. Corruption occurs in almost all of developing countries including Indonesia besides Nigeria, Peru and the Philippines. A new issue currently developing is that corruption is related to the other organized crimes especially to the attempt of corruptors to hide their corruption-originated income through money laundering by using derivative transaction through an effective international transfer. Meanwhile, according to the data found by Asian Development Bank in Perceived Standard, it is stated that Indonesia belongs to the first place in cost competitiveness if compared to the other Asian countries. One of the ways which can be used by the Government of Indonesia is to confiscate the assets of the corruptors by claiming the assets obtained through a criminal act by means of what is called civil forfeiture in the countries practicing common law.

Published: November 2020

Cloud computing services enabled through information communication technology delivered to a customer as services over the Internet on a leased basis have the capability to extend up or down their service requirements or needs. In this model, the infrastructure is owned by a third party vendor and the cloud computing services are delivered to the requested customers. Cloud computing model has many advantages including scalability, flexibility, elasticity, efficiency, and supports outsourcing noncore activities of an organization. Cloud computing offers an innovative business concept for organizations to adopt IT enabled services without advance investment. This model enables convenient, on-request network accessibility to a shared pool of IT computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications, and services. Cloud computing can be quickly provisioned and released with negligible management exertion or service provider interaction. Even though organizations get many benefits of cloud computing services, many organizations are slow in accepting cloud computing service model because of security concerns and challenges associated with management of this technology. Security, being the major issues which hinder the growth of cloud computing service model due to the provision of handling confidential data by the third party is risky such that the consumers need to be more attentive in understanding the risks of data breaches in this new environment. In this paper, we have discussed the security issues, the challenges and the opportunities in the adoption and management of cloud computing services model in an organization.

Published: November 2020

In comparison to Thai women, Thai men do not seek care or treatment for depressive symptoms. The literature on men with depression reports that depressive symptoms are viewed as unmasculine. However, little is known about how Thai men experience depression. This qualitative study aimed to understand how Thai men understand having a depressive disorder. Twenty-one male patients were recruited from a psychiatric out-patient clinic and a university hospital in northeastern Thailand. The patients lived with major depressive disorder for at least one year. Data were collected by in-depth interviews and were tape-recorded. Data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed by content analysis. Six themes emerged which were related to masculinity: (a) a loss of control, (b) feeling upside-down, (c) personal weakness, (d) a lack of understanding, (e) social isolation, and (f) a wish to lean on something. The findings are discussed in the context of existing research on depression in men and within the context of masculinity. Recommendations for future research on male depression and implications for clinical practice with men are presented.

The total phenol content, DPPH, and FRAP of the red flower agathi in form of dried tea were higher than those of the white variety (p < 0.05). The total phenol content of red and white flowered agathi teas were remained about 77 and 55 %, respectively (as dry basis weight) compared to the fresh flower agathi. In addition, the antioxidative activity of the agathi tea extracts significantly increased with increasing infusion time. The DPPH and FRAP of the tea extracts of flower agathi with pollen were slightly higher than those of the flower agathi without pollen tea extracts. After infusion the agathi tea with hot water (95 °C) for 10 min (time interval of 2 min), total phenol content, DPPH, FRAP, and tannin content of the red flowered agathi with pollen were the highest among all flower agathi teas (p < 0.05). Therefore, the agathi tea should be infused at 95 °C for 10 min to gain more bioactive compounds. The results indicated that the red flowered agathi tea had efficient antioxidative activity that they could be used as a potential source of natural antioxidants.
An Integrative Literature Review of Basal-Bolus Insulin versus Sliding-Scale Insulin for Glycemic Management in the Hospitalized Non-Critically Ill Type 2 Diabetic Patient

Diabetes is an increasingly common chronic disease that affects the body’s normal ability to control blood glucose levels due to impaired use of the hormone insulin. It is estimated that one out of every 4 adults who are hospitalized also have a diagnosis of diabetes. Diabetic inpatients face unique challenges in regards to managing their blood glucose while hospitalized due to the physiological stress of acute illness. Unfortunately, those who experience inadequate blood glucose management in the hospital are at an increased risk for poor patient outcomes, such as infection, increased length of stay, and death. There are multiple medications used to regulate blood sugar levels; however, the most commonly prescribed treatment for inpatients is the traditional sliding-scale regimen followed by the basal-bolus insulin regimen. An integrated literature review was conducted to determine if basal-bolus insulin is more effective than sliding-scale insulin in managing blood glucose levels of non-critically ill diabetic inpatients. Four well-known databases were searched and 5 relevant quantitative research articles were obtained and analyzed. The majority of the evidence supports basal-bolus insulin as the most effective treatment for managing blood glucose and preventing hyperglycemia without increasing the risk for hypoglycemia. Health care providers should order basal-bolus insulin accordingly in order to improve patient outcomes. Future research that questions why sliding-scale insulin is still widely prescribed may identify barriers related to ordering basal-bolus insulin and assist in decreasing related adverse events.

Risk assessment of emitted particle polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from lignite-biomass pelletization burning focusing on size distribution and human health effects are investigated. The particles and PAHs are experimented by a tube furnace and high performance liquid chromatography coupled diode array and fluorescence detectors (HPLC-DAD/FLD), respectively. The carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxic potencies of PAHs are also discussed in relative to the size distribution of emitted particle PAHs. The results indicate that the carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxic potencies of PAHs are like to accumulate in the ultrafine particles finer than 0.65 µm. The ultrafine particles contribute the largest PAHs existences of carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic substances; even though they register in the small mass fraction of PAHs.  Moreover, the co-pellets burning can reduce the values of carcinogenic PAHs, carcinogenic equivalency quotients (BaP-TEQ), mutagenic equivalency quotients (BaP-MEQ), and toxic equivalency quotients (TCDD-TEQ) by more than 60%.

This study was carried out to examine the chemical properties, antioxidant activities and sensory scores of berry vinegar produced from 4 berry species, namely Morus alba L. (Mulberry), Vaccinium macrocarpon L. (Cranberry), Rubus idaeus L. (Rasberry), and Rubus laciniatus L. (Blackberry). Berry vinegars were produced via a 2-stage (alcoholic and acetous) fermentation process. The initial soluble solid contents in the berry juice were adjusted to 22 ºBrix before the fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation was conducted using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the inoculant while Acetobacter pasteurianus was used for acetous fermentation. As observed for all samples during the alcoholic fermentation the levels of soluble solids decreased continuously and the levels of alcohol were found to increase at the end of fermentation process. Notably, the wine produced from ‘Blackberry’ species exhibited the highest levels of alcohol (11.73 %) while those produced from ‘Mulberry’ exhibited the highest levels of antioxidant activity (60.85 %). Similar results were observed for all samples during the acetous fermentation, in which the levels of alcohol dropped continuously and the levels of acetic acid were noted to elevate at the end of the fermentation process. The highest levels of acetic acid (5.01 %) was detected in the vinegars produced from ‘Cranberry’ species while those produced form ‘Raspberry’ species exhibited the highest levels of antioxidant activity (74.43 %). Sensory evaluation based on the 9-point hedonic scales showed that the vinegars produced from ‘Mulberry’ species displayed the highest overall acceptability with an average score of 7.27, equivalent to the hedonic scale of 9, which indicated the moderately pleasant levels of the vinegar preference of the consumers.

The atmospheric pressure plasma technique has been recognized in health care for disinfection in wounds as well as that it can enhance wound healing and reduce pain in patient without side effects. In this study, Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Jets (DBDJs) were used for bactericidal in vitro as well as the efficiency of bacteria killing were investigated using gram positive bacteria, Staphylococcus Aureus (S. Aureus). The DBDJs plasma used He gas at flow rate at 1 L/min, pulse repetition rate between 50 to 110 Hz and exposure time 15 to 60 s for bactericidal. The studies of DBDJs utilized an Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) to identify radical species in the plasma. The results of the OES studies showed in DBDJs plasma N2, NO, He and OH radical groups were found. These radicals in plasma played an important role in bactericidal, including wound healing. The intensity of radical in plasma depends on the repetition rate applied by the plasma system. After DBDJs plasma exposure, plates were incubated at 37 °C. Repetition rate and time of plasma exposure were drastically reduced. With the increase in the repetition rate over 100 Hz or exposure time up to 60 s for bactericidal, the reduction of bacteria was increased up to 100 %. The large clear zone showed the efficiency of bacteria killed ability of the plasma.

Zoonotic infections caused by bacterial pathogens are considered as major threat to humans and the aquaculture industry. This problem triggered the search for various natural products from plants, microorganisms, animal tissues, and secretions to determine the presence of metabolites that may be of potential antimicrobial effects against infectious agents. However, limited attempts have been conducted to elucidate the potential use of freshwater fish mucus in against pathogens. Here, the antimicrobial activity of mucus of economically-important freshwater fish species in the Philippines: Oreochromis niloticus (tilapia), Clarias batrachus (catfish), and Channa striata (snakehead fish) was investigated against fish and human pathogens. The pooled fish mucus was extracted with succeeding centrifugation and filtration. The acidic mucus extracts were tested for antimicrobial-inhibitory effects and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by agar-overlay diffusion and microbroth plate dilution method, respectively. The results showed that all fish mucus extracts exhibited antimicrobial effects against test pathogens with catfish exhibiting the highest inhibitory effects against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (p = 0.096), Klebsiella pneumoniae (p = 0.000), Enterococcus faecalis (p = 0.665), Micrococcus luteus (p = 0.000), Aeromonas hydrophila (p = 0.000), Staphylococcus aureus (p = 0.000), Escherichia coli (p = 0.000), and Serratia marcescens (p = 0.000) as compared to the broad-spectrum antibiotic control, Cefoperazone. Interestingly, catfish mucus revealed inhibitory effects against Gram-positive S. aureus and M. luteus at the lowest concentration (1:4 dilution). The present findings revealed the potential antimicrobial use of freshwater fish mucus against medically-important pathogens.
A sharper image: the quest of science and recursive production of objective realities
Authors: Stern Julio Michael
Published: November 2020

This article explores the metaphor of Science as provider of sharp images of ourenvironment, using the epistemological framework of Objective Cognitive Constructivism.These sharp images are conveyed by precise scientific hypotheses that, in turn, are encodedby mathematical equations. Furthermore, this article describes how such knowledge is pro-duced by a cyclic and recursive development, perfection and reinforcement process, leadingto the emergence of eigen-solutions characterized by the four essential properties of preci-sion, stability, separability and composability. Finally, this article discusses the role playedby ontology and metaphysics in the scientific production process, and in which sense theresulting knowledge can be considered objective.
