Anticipation or resilience in times of emergent crisis? COVID-19 responses in the United States, Taiwan, and South Korea
Authors: Chang, PhD Ray Hsienho , Shie, PhD Wen-Chi , Hsu, PhD Yun-Hsiang , Hur, PhD Hyungjo
Published: February 2023

This research employs Wildavsky’s two strategies—anticipation and resilience—as our conceptual framework to compare COVID-19 policies in the United States, South Korea, and Taiwan. Also, following Handmer and Dovers’ three types of resilience, we develop theory-driven codes and then explain how governmental structures and cultural factors influenced governmental responses. We found that a key response to this pandemic is arguably correlated with how quick and flexible a government can adopt different types of resilient strategies. Our research provides a foundation for governmental emergency response discussions and management strategies to better cope with public health crises in the future.
Moved to partner: A case study of faith-based congregations in disaster response
Authors: Elliott, MS Julie H. , Webb, PhD Gary R.
Published: February 2023

When disaster strikes, many players are involved in the response: local, state, and federal governments; public entities; community and faith-based organizations (FBOs). Some of these players are prepped to respond to disasters, while others emerge spontaneously to assist when need (or perceived need) arises. Consistently, FBOs are involved with disaster response efforts. “Faith-Based Congregations” or “FBCs” are a subsect of FBOs that are formally organized, stationary religious congregations such as churches, temples, mosques, etc. Unlike some FBOs, FBCs are embedded in communities and steeped in those communities’ cultures. The value of FBCs to disaster management is recognized at the federal level, as FEMA encourages local emergency managers to engage their “Whole Community.” Though shown to provide for many needs following disaster, FBCs’ role in disaster is largely understudied. Additionally, the mechanics of engaging with FBCs are not simple to implement. The role of FBCs, how they adapt, and the predictors of their involvement need to be better understood in order for improved cross-sector collaboration pre- and post-disaster.The purpose of this study was to explore the role of FBCs in the disaster response process and how FBCs are impacted by the early transition to recovery. This study addressed two primary research questions: nnWhat is the role of FBCs during disaster response?How do FBCs change (temporarily and permanently) during disaster response, and what factors may promote or inhibit change?To answer these questions, this qualitative study employed telephone interviews with leaders of FBCs who helped provide disaster response assistance to those impacted by Hurricane Harvey in Katy, Texas.

Authors: Brambilla, PhD Andrea , Brusamolin, MSc Erica , Johnson, BS Alexander Achille , Scullica, PhD Francesco , Capolongo, PhD Stefano
Published: February 2023

Objectives: This study aims to provide metadesign indications for the improvement of healthcare facilities, emphasizing the role of spatial design in the management of epidemic health emergencies. Study design: A parallel mixed-method study including literature reviews, survey creation, and survey distribution was performed.Methods: Data were collected between August and October 2020 capturing information related to the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, utilizing a review of existing literature, a comparison of existing hospital planning guidelines and assessment tools, and distribution of a survey to analyze design changes within selected Italian hospitals.Results: Among the changes identified, the most frequently identified included the conversion of space into intensive care units, space expansion, and the usage of wayfinding strategies for the reduction of cross-contamination risks. There was limited attention given to solutions with a human-centered approach, and those that addressed physical and psychological well-being of all users, including healthcare staff. The solutions were collected and systematized into a list of metadesign guidelines.Conclusions: The resulting indications represent a starting point for developing design solutions to aid healthcare facilities in facing future epidemics.

Authors: Iqbal, MD, MPH, FCPS Meesha , Lindsay, PhD, MPH Ryan , Wrobel, PhD Megan Warnement , Van Woerden, PhD Irene
Published: February 2023

Communities form an integral component of disaster and pandemic preparedness. This study aimed to explore disaster/pandemic preparedness—with a special focus on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)—at the household and community level among residents within 50 miles of Idaho Falls. A structured online survey questionnaire was distributed, resulting in 924 responses from participants over 18 years of age. The results highlighted that 29 and 10 percent of participants were not prepared to deal with disasters and pandemics, respectively. Most participants trusted healthcare professionals (61 percent) for information about COVID-19, followed by scientists (46 percent) and local health departments (26 percent). The overall preparedness to disasters/pandemics at the community level was 50 percent. Males, participants older than 35 years, and participants with paid employment had higher odds of being prepared for disasters, whereas higher education was associated with higher preparedness for pandemics. This study highlights the need for better household and community disaster and pandemic preparedness.
Current flood warning system in Japan and its effectiveness in mobilizing evacuation: Lessons from case studies
Authors: Huang, PhD Guangwei , Fan Juan
Published: February 2023

An effective flood warning system is crucial for successful flood management. Flood warning systems have been developed in many countries across the world. However, scientific literature on flood warning systems has been mainly focused on technical capacity building, and the effectiveness of warning systems in mobilizing evacuation was much understudied. Japan is a country with a long history of fighting against flood disasters; the evaluation of its practices in providing flood warnings and the effectiveness are certainly important for further flood research development in Japan, and sharing the experience and lessons with the rest of the world will contribute to flood damage reduction on a global scale. Following this line of thinking, this article is intended to present a clear and concise picture of the current flood warning system in Japan, which has been poorly documented up until now. It is also aimed at providing a performance assessment for the flood warning system through case study approach and the use of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) model. Through analyses, the pros and cons of the current flood warning system in Japan are highlighted, and the directions for further development and refinement are explained.

Molecular Docking Studies of Ocimum Americanum Secondary Metabolites Against SARS-Cov-2 Spike Protein
Authors: K. Vijayalakshmi , Gunalan Gayathri , R. Balabhaskar
Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic since December 2019 has raised serious global health concern. Because of rapid human to human transmission and non-availability of clinically proven drugs or vaccines, this Covid-19 pandemic has created a great threat to mankind. Many naturally derived molecules are being investigated for the treatment of Covid-19. Ocimum americanum is one such significant medicinal plant possessing a variety of biological activities.
 
Materials and Methods: In the present study, seven phytochemicals were selected from O. americanum and were docked against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein which is an important site for virus to enter the host cell. Docking was performed using Autodock Vina and the ADME properties of all these seven ligands were predicted using the Swiss-ADME tool. The bioactivity score was also predicted using the Molinspiration tool. Besides the secondary metabolites, all these analyses were also performed for well-known antiviral drugs namely lopinavir and ritonavir.
 
Results: The binding energy obtained from the docking studies of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with Lopinavir, Ritonavir, Alpha-farnesene, Beta-farnesene, Eugenol, Linalool, Estragole, Limonene and 1,8-Cineole was found to be -5.2, -5.1, -4.7, -4.5, -4.3, -4.1, -4, -3.9 and -3.8 Kcal/Mol respectively. Swiss-ADME results also suggest that all the selected ligands follow the drug likeness properties and hence they could be taken for further drug discovery process.
 
Conclusion: From the present in silico study, it can be concluded that secondary metabolites of O. americanum have potential inhibiting activity against spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Isolation and efficacy studies in vitro may provide an insight into the drug discovery to fight Covid-19.

Authors: Jindal Sonia , Manhas Sunita , Saini Parmal , Sah Narendra Kumar
Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: Pregnancy is complicated by the hypertension disease known as pre-eclampsia. The development of hypertension to a level of 140/90 mmHg or greater in the presence of proteinuria after the 20th week of gestation characterises this condition, a multisystem disorder with an unclear cause. Uric acid and microalbuminuria were assessed in preeclamptic women (PW) and normal pregnant women (NPW).
 
Materials and Methods: For the present study 120 women (60 NPW and 60 PW) were selected from the hospital at Mullana, Ambala, Haryana. The level of uric acid and microalbuminuria were estimated in all subjects.
 
Results: Preeclamptic women had microalbuminuria levels that were substantially (p<0.001) greater than those of normal pregnant women, and their uric acid levels were significantly (p<0.001) higher.
 
Conclusion: Preeclampsia patients had significantly higher uric acid and microalbuminuria levels than normal pregnant women. We deduced from the study that uric acid and microalbuminuria can be helpful in diagnosing preeclampsia risk.
A rare case of vulvar leiomyoma masquerading as Bartholin cyst
Authors: Priya V. Lakshmi , Lilly S. Mary
Published: February 2023

Vulvar leiomyoma possesses a diagnostic challenge clinically due to its rarity. Usually, it is diagnosed as Bartholin cyst in clinical practice, until histopathological examination is done. Herein we report a 49-year female with a painless perineal swelling on the right side of the vulva for 5 months. Clinically, it was suspected as Bartholin gland cyst based on her anatomical location, clinical signs, and symptoms. Excision was done and histopathological study revealed a benign smooth muscle neoplasm with whorls and interlacing fascicles of spindle shaped cells without nuclear atypia. Hence diagnosed as vulvar leiomyoma histopathologically.

Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: An ethnobotanical investigation of the Gowda community in the Sullia taluk of Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka, India reveals the diversity of ethnomedicinal plants as well as the wealth of traditional medical knowledge. The Gowda community is one of the indigenous communities.Locals in the remote regions of Sullia taluk still lack access to modern medicine, so they rely on traditional medicine for their healthcare.The aim of the present study was to examine traditional medical knowledge, record the significant knowledge and raise awareness of knowledge erosion.
 
Materials and Methods: Ethnomedicinal information gathered from traditional healers during semi-structured open-ended interviews. Various qualitative and quantitative indices were used for data analysis, including Cultural Importance Index (CI), Family Use Value (FUV), Family Importance Value (FIV), percentage of habit used, percentage of plant species used, and consensus value for Plant Part (CPP), Fidelity Level (FL), and Informants Consensus Factor (ICF).
 
Results: A total of 214 plant species from 113 genera and 51 families were recorded and assigned to 13 use categories for diseases. Skin disease has a high ICF value and 61 species extensively used to treat. High FL value plants of Breynia vitis-idaea, Indigofera tinctoria, Plectranthus amboinicus, Sida alnifolia, Cynodon dactylon, Citrus limon, and Oryza sativa are widely used for the treatment of various skin ailments.
 
Conclusion: Ethnobotanical data showed that the Gowda community has a rich knowledge of traditional therapies for many diseases whose skin problems are mainly treated by healers. The numerous ethnomedicinal plant species showed effective treatment of multiple skin diseases.
A comparison of platelet indices in children with urinary tract and tonsillitis infection
Authors: Khidhair Hussain Zainab
Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: Platelet indices are used as diagnostic markers in many diseases and disorders. Urinary tract infections and tonsillitis are common among children. In this study we aimed to investigate whether platelet indices could be used as a marker of UTI and tonsillitis in children.
 
Materials and Methods: This study included 120 children aged between 1-10 years, who were divided into 3 groups (G1-G3). The group G1 included children suffering from UTI (n=40), G2 with only tonsillitis (n=40) and G3 only healthy children (n=40). UTI and tonsillitis were diagnosed based on different parameters including                    C - reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and complete blood counts. The platelet indices (PLT count, MPV, PDW, PCT, P-LCR, P-LCC) were measured using an automatic CBC blood counting and analysis machine.
Results: The results in this study showed a high significant increase in (127.22), (7.179), (0.122) platelet count, PDW % and PCT% respectively and non-significant increase of P-LCC count.  The results also revealed a high significant decrease in values of MPV, PDW and P-LCR (2.210), (2.315) and (6.427) respectively.
 
Conclusion: Our study suggests the platelet indices could be used as a diagnostic marker in diagnosing urinary tract infection and tonsillitis in children.
The effect of Mentha piperita oil in improving serotonin level, physiological factors, antioxidants and fertility markers in male rabbits on opioid oxycodone withdrawal
Authors: Lahmood Al-Obaidi Wedad Mahmood , Al-Hashimi Marwa Abd-Alsalam Qadir , H. Al-Ani Raghad
Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: Medicinal plants have shown to be effective in treatment of different stages of addiction with lower side effects, including reducing the severity of withdrawal symptoms that occur when an opioid-dependent patient stops using opioids. The current study aimed to evaluate the effective role of Mentha piperita oil on alleviating the symptoms of oxycodone withdrawal, and to elucidate the mechanisms by which it does so.
 
Materials and Methods: Twenty-five healthy male rabbits divided into 5 groups (G1-G5) consisting of 5 rabbits each. The groups were divided as follows: G1-Control Group: G2-Oxycodone: G3-Oxycodone withdrawal: G4-Oxycodone withdrawal + M. piperita: G5-Oxycodone withdrawal +M. piperita. Blood was drawn from each animal and the serum obtained was analyzed for physiological (cortisol, serotonin, dopamine, CRP and T, LH levels), antioxidant parameters (LDH, SOD, GSH and MDA) and sperm activity.
 
Results: This study found statistically significant changes in most variables. G2 rabbits had higher serotonin and dopamine levels, higher body weight, and lower cortisol and CRP levels than the healthy control group G1. Sperm activity, efficacy, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and malondialdehyde did not alter across generations (G2 and G1). Group 3 showed that oxycodone withdrawal negatively affected dopamine, testosterone, LH, SOD, GSH, and sperm activity with weight, compared to Groups 1 and 2. Without therapy, rabbits in G3 with fast withdrawal had considerably higher cortisol, CRP, LDH, and MDA than G2 and G1.  Serotonin level decreased in G3 compared with G1 and G2. An improvement in most of the studied variables, stress factors and antioxidants, as well as fertility indicators in the G4 and G5 improved gradually depending on period of treatment with M. piperita.
 
Conclusion: M. piperita being rich in antioxidants can be adopted as one of the natural plant-based compound in patients undergoing oxycodone addiction withdrawal.

Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: More than 85% of cervical cancer (CC) cases are reported in developing countries where access to screening is limited. With localized forms of CC, it is possible to achieve good treatment results using radical procedures compared to locally widespread processes.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of 68 patients with stage IIB CC hospitalized from 2013–2022. During the initial treatment and after a full clinical examination, all patients were diagnosed with stage IIB CC, a parametrial and vaginal involvement.
Results: Forty-six patients (74%) received two courses of chemotherapy, 14 patients (23%) received three courses, and 2 patients (3%) received four courses. The tumor became resectable after two courses in 46 patients, after 3–4 courses all patients moved on to the next surgical stage. Of the early postoperative complications, 9 patients (14.5%) had bladder atony, which was resolved by the conservative method.
Conclusion: Thus, there is a certain category of patients with CC, where it is possible to make the tumor into a resectable form, and this will increase the percentage of the surgical component of treatment, which in turn could increase the 5-year disease-free survival rates of patients with stage IIB CC.

Authors: Patel Jigisha , Ghosh Tirthankar
Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: Fish processing industries have been showing tremendous growth in recent years. Various modern processing technologies and equipment are incorporated in the fish processing plants. Some of the tasks in fish processing plants yet involve manual handling. Prolong working in wet environment in awkward confined posture leads to the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The current study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of work-related MSDs among fish processing workers.

 

Materials and Methods: A total of thirty subjects from fish processing plant between 28-40 years were selected randomly from a fish processing plant in Suri of West Bengal. A modified Nordic questionnaire was applied for the assessment of the discomfort or pain of the processing workers. The study included postural analysis utilising the standardized Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool.

 

Results: The present study showed that 60% of the fish processing workers complained discomfort or pain in different parts of the body majorly in neck, wrist and lower back respectively. The RULA score of posture adopted during job tasks majorly scaling, trimming, filleting of fishes indicated medium risk of musculoskeletal injury and sharpening of blade involved low risk of developing MSDs.

 

Conclusion: It may be concluded that neck and lower back are the major occupational health issues prevailing in fish processing workers. Prolong working in awkward posture and in repetitive manner led to increased risk of developing work- related MSDs.

Authors: Bobr T. V. , Dravitsa L. V.
Published: February 2023

Diabetes and its complications is one of the major medical-social and economic problems of present-day public health service. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is considered as late complications of diabetes. Progressing of diabetic retinopathy (DR), as a rule, occurs consistently from small initial manifestations which are characterized by increased retinal vascular permeability (nonproliferative retinopathy) up to changes connected with vessels occlusion (preproliferative retinopathy), and then up to the heaviest stage of diabetic retina lesion which is characterized by growth of neogenic vessels and glial tissue (proliferative retinopathy). Central oedema is one of the principal causes of sight decrease at patients with diabetes. Cone electroretinogram (CERG) on white stimulus reflects electric activity of photopic (cone) retina system function and dependence on amount of healthy functioning cells of this system in retina central departments. CERG allows diagnosing retina functional changes at pre-clinical stage of diabetic retinopathy development.

Authors: Stakan T. A. , Shevtchenko N. I. , Salivontchik A. P.
Published: February 2023

Проведено одновременное исследование неспецифических факторов защиты и специфического иммунного ответа у детей и подростков с хронической бронхолегочной патологией. Выявлены основные патофизиологические факторы, способствующие формированию хронических неспецифических заболеваний легких (ХНЗЛ) у детей. Выявленные изменения со стороны IgАs и IgA-мономера (Q Ig = IgAs / IgA) в бронхоальвеолярном смыве (БАС) позволяют использовать их в качестве дополнительных критериев оценки степени активности воспалительного процесса in loco (в слизистой) и уровня специфического иммунного ответа у детей с ХНЗЛ. Высокая частота выявления повышенной концентрация фактора некроза опухоли (ФНО-α) в сыворотке крови у больных ХНЗЛ свидетельствует о целесообразности применения в комплексном лечении больных лекарственных препаратов, способных снижать продукцию провоспалительных цитокинов с целью повышения эффективности лечения. Интегральные гематологические показатели периферической крови: КФЗ (клеточно-фагоцитарной защиты) и СИЛМП (специфический иммунный лимфоцитарно-моноцитарный потенциал) можно использовать для ориентировочной оценки уровня цитокина ФНО-α в сыворотке крови, не прибегая к иммунограмме. Снижение уровня ИФН-γ у больных с прогрессирующим характером течения заболевания, частыми обострениями (более 4 раз в году) свидетельствует о возможности использования его наряду с другими тестами для прогнозирования течения хронического воспалительного процесса и оценки эффективности лечения.

Authors: Novikova I. A. , Gomoliako A. V.
Published: February 2023

In the article the results of evaluation of metabolic, nitric oxide productive functions and phagocytosis of leucocytes in patients with chronic recurrent furunculosis in the remission period of the disease are represented. The results of stimulated NBT-test in patients were significantly decreased. The increased level of nitric oxide production by mononuclear leucocytes of patients in comparison with healthy people was determined. In contrast to the control group the pirogenalum stimulation of patients’ leucocytes didn’t lead to increasing of nitric oxide production. The decreasing of functional reserve of reactive oxygen radicals and nitric oxide production in patients with chronic furunculosis in the remission period can be interpreted as the reflection of functional anergy of immune system.
