Trends in College Student-Athlete Mental Health in the National College Health Assessment (NCHA), 2011–2019
Authors: Edwards Brian , Froehle Andrew W. , Fagan Siobhan E.
Published: December 2021

Context: Recently the athletic training community has paid increased attention to college student-athlete mental health, treatment-seeking, and impacts on athletic and academic performance. Ongoing efforts to better-educate and equip athletic trainers to help student-athletes in this regard should result in improved mental health-related outcomes.

Objective: Examine changes in student-athlete mental health over the past decade compared to non-athlete students.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: United States colleges and universities.

Patients or Other Participants: Varsity athletes (n=54,479) and non-athlete students (n=448,301) who completed the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) between 2011 and 2019.

Main Outcome Measures: Survey responses (self-report) to questions in five mental health-related domains: symptoms, diagnoses, treatment-seeking, institutional information distribution, and academic impacts.

Results: Student-athletes consistently reported significantly lower symptom and diagnose rates than non-athletes, except for attempted suicide, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Diagnoses increased over time in both groups, but remained lower in athletes. Treatment-seeking and openness to future treatment increased over time in both groups, but remained lower in athletes. Student-athletes received more information on stress reduction, substance abuse, eating disorders, and handling distress/violence than non-athletes. Both groups received information more frequently over time. Athletes reported lower academic impacts, especially for depression and anxiety, but impacts grew over time in both groups. Impacts of injuries and extracurricular activities on academic performance were higher in athletes than in non-athletes.

Conclusions: Athletes reported overall lower levels of symptoms, diagnoses, and academic impacts than non-athletes. While non-athlete rates climbed over the past decade, athletes' rates broadly remained flat or climbed less rapidly. Increasingly positive attitudes toward treatment are encouraging, but the deficit relative to non-athletes remains. Ongoing efforts of athletic trainers to educate athletes and guide them to mental health resources are needed in order to continue (or, better yet, accelerate) the observed positive trends in information dissemination and treatment-seeking.
Laparoscopic Wedge Resection in a Late Second Trimester Cornual Pregnancy
Authors: Safiee Anis Iryani , Ghazali Wan Ahmed Hazim Wan
Published: December 2021

Cornual pregnancy happens when implantation occurs in the cavity of a rudimentary horn of the uterus, which may or may not be communicating with the uterine cavity. The diagnosis of cornual pregnancy remains challenging, and rupture of a cornual pregnancy usually causes massive bleeding. Early diagnosis and treatment, therefore, are very crucial and key to prevent mortality. Historically, the management of cornual pregnancies included wedge resection through open surgery or even hysterectomy. In this case report, we would like to highlight a case of late second trimester cornual pregnancy, at 19-week and 3-day gestation, which was managed laparoscopically.
Rituximab in childhood pemphius vulgaris
Authors: Kulkarni Vinay , Potdar Swaraj , Shirol Pallavi
Published: December 2021

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune bullous disease. It has a very low incidence in childhood with very few cases reported in literatures. A 6-year-old female child had non-healing oral erosions for a month and recent appearance of genital erosions. Differential diagnoses considered were oral candidiasis, herpetic stomatitis, and PV. On investigating further, KOH mount showed Candidial hyphae and spores. Serology for herpes viruses was negative. Tzanck smear showed acantholytic cells. Obtaining biopsy from oral mucosa was difficult; hence, indirect immunofluorescence was done which showed significant titers of anti-epidermal (pemphigus) antibodies. Anti-desmoglein 1 and 3 antibodies measured by ELISA were also positive. Final diagnosis was PV. The patient was started on oral prednisolone. However, when relapsed, considering the long-term adverse effects of systemic corticosteroids on growth of the child, two infusions of rituximab, 15 days apart, were administered after clearance from a pediatrician and appropriate laboratory work up. Outcome: There was complete remission after 1 month of rituximab. Prednisolone was tapered off quickly and withdrawn completely. There was a persistent decline in anti-desmoglein antibodies during follow-up. No severe adverse effects were documented. The child remained in remission up to 12 months of follow-up. Discussion: This is a very rare case of childhood PV. Rituximab appears to be an effective therapeutic option in children with pemphigus. Further studies will help in defining protocols for use of rituximab in children.
Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Published: December 2021

Dermatological practice involves the use of systemic drugs; some of them carrying boxed warnings of hepatotoxicity while others causing inadvertent or idiosyncratic liver damage. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common problem faced by dermatologists and refers to liver damage caused by medications, herbs, or other xenobiotics which can sometimes be fatal. Diagnosis of DILI remains challenging due to nonspecific clinical presentations compounded by a lack of knowledge in this area. With careful patient selection and systematic monitoring, liver injury should be rare in the dermatological setup. This review article is written with the aim of increasing awareness of DILI among dermatologists and thereby preventing liver injuries from common drugs.
Rational blood transfusion in elective gynecologic surgeries in a tertiary hospital in the Philippines
Authors: Gamo Nancy Marie S. , Habana Maria Antonia E.
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND:

Blood transfusion plays a vital role in modern health care; however, local studies on the utilization of blood products intra-operatively, especially in elective gynecologic surgeries, are lacking.

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the blood transfusion use during elective gynecologic surgical cases performed at a tertiary hospital in the Philippines. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study included data from patients admitted for elective gynecologic surgeries between January 2019 – December 2019. Pertinent data was gathered from the admission charts, preoperative laboratory results (hemoglobin levels, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time), blood bank records of deposited/donated blood and crossmatched units, anesthesia as well as intra-operative records, and medical charts. All abstracted variable were analyzed and transfusion indices were calculated.

RESULTS:

Majority of the patients who underwent elective surgeries were from the general gynecologic service (60.4%), with abdominal hysterectomies comprising majority of the transfused patients. The calculated crossmatched-to-transfused ratio (C/T ratio) for pRBCs, FFPs, and PCs are 5.1, 7.6, and 19.7; the transfusion indices are 0.57, 0.44, and 0.17, while transfusion probabilities are 28.1%, 10.4%, and 4.2%, respectively. We found a significant association between transfusion status and primary service (p = 0.01), previous pregnancy (p = 0.02), preoperative hemoglobin count (p < 0.01), preoperative hematocrit (p < 0.01), postoperative hemoglobin count (p < 0.01), postoperative hematocrit (p < 0.01), and intra-operative blood loss (p < 0.01).

CONCLUSION:

There is consistent over-ordering of blood products. Primary gynecologic service, previous pregnancy, preoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit, as well as introperative blood loss are factors associated with transfusion status.

Published: December 2021

Purpose:

The relationship between sleep quality and testosterone levels has been known. However, there are no data whether sleep quality and varicocelectomy have a relationship. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of varicocelectomy on sleep quality and testosterone levels.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 39 patients with painful left grade 3 varicocele were included in the study. Visual analog scale, serum testosterone levels, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) including subparameters of sleep were questioned and recorded preoperatively and postoperatively.

Results:

There was a significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative parameters of both PSQI and subparameters of sleep (P < 0.05). After the operation, 36 (92.3%) patients had remarkable pain relief. Testosterone levels of 32 (82%) patients increased.

Conclusion:

We concluded that a remarkable improvement in sleep quality was provided after varicocelectomy. Furthermore, evaluation of varicocele may be useful in male patients with unexplained sleep disorders.

Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o estabelecimento de Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan var. cebil [Griseb.] Altschul sob inoculação micorrízica e fertilização no Pantanal da Nhecolândia, MS. O experimento foi implantado em março de 2015 em ambiente de cordilheira parcialmente desmatada, em blocos ao acaso distribuídos no micro relevo, e parcelas subdivididas. Os principais tratamentos foram constituídos por mudas submetidas ou não (controle) à inoculação mista com Rhizophagus clarus e Gigaspora margarita, e aos tratamentos secundários de adubação com doses de sulfato de amônio e cloreto de potássio. Entre 2015 e 2017 foram avaliados a abertura do dossel das árvores remanescentes, o percentual de sobrevivência e o crescimento de A. colubrina. Melhores condições de sobrevivência foram verificadas na porção da cordilheira mais próxima à baía, sob sombreamento moderado e com a aplicação, no plantio, de 15 g de sulfato de amônio e de 5 g de cloreto de potássio por muda. A inoculação micorrízica promoveu incremento de 16% em diâmetro do colo aos 23 meses de idade, não aumentando a sobrevivência da espécie. Estudos complementares são necessários para subsidiar estratégias de manejo de A. colubrina, em condições de plantio no Pantanal da Nhecolândia.

AIM OF THE STUDY: Patients surviving COVID-19 have been described as being at risk of developing sequelae. We aimed to investigate and elicit persistent symptoms, emotional status and quality-of-life in patients discharged after an acute COVID-19 episode.
METHODS: Patient-reported outcome measures were collected during a telephone interview 30 days and 1 year after discharge. Patients' general health status was evaluated using questions based on their symptoms, emotional status was assessed using the items 9 to 12 of the HeartQoL questionnaire and quality of life was assessed at 1 year through the EQ-5D-5L. In patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, all 14 items of the HeartQoL questionnaire were completed to derive the HeartQoL global score.
RESULTS: Among 687 patients who survived after being hospitalised for COVID-19 at the University Hospitals of Geneva between 26 February and 26 April 2020, 184 (27%) and 165 (24%), respectively, participated in the follow-up at 30 days and 1 year. Of these 184 participants, 62% were male, median age was 58 years and 21% had a past medical history of cardiovascular disease. At one month after discharge, 61% (113/184) of patients presented fatigue and 28% (52/184) dyspnoea. One year after discharge, the main complaints were persistent fatigue in 27% (45/165) of patients, neurological problems in 17% (28/165) and dyspnoea in 14% (23/165). Eight percent  (14/184) of patients declared being significantly worried 1 month after discharge and 5% (9/184) feeling depressed. The number of patients reporting being significantly worried or depressed at 1 year was lower. Regarding the quality of life at 1 year, the median EQ-5D-5L visual analogue scale score was 80 (interquartile range 70–90).
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately half of patients reported some symptoms 1 year after discharge following an acute episode of COVID-19. The predominant symptom was persistent fatigue both at 1-month and at 1-year follow-up. Emotional status and quality of life appeared satisfactory.

EVALUATION OF HISTOLOGICAL CONCEPT IN AYURVEDA
Authors: Lakhiprova Doley , Gaurav Soni
Published: December 2021

Histology is the science where microanatomy of cells and tissues are studied, including their role in the body, and the way they are affected by disease. They are the basic elements and building blocks of everything in the body. Therefore, a thorough knowledge of normal histology is very important for the understanding of the normal func- tioning of the human body. It also forms the essential basis for the study of the changes in various tissues and or- gans in disease conditions. In Ayurveda, the micro-anatomical concept can be emphasized under the heading of Paramanu, which can be further elaborated in other different anato-physiological concepts like - Dosha, Dhatu, Upadhatu, Kala in a broad aspect. Srota also in its functional aspect highlights the histological concept. Among all these, Kala and Dhatu specifically indicate the different limiting membrane and tissue of the body. Bhagavata emphasized the Kala as fibrous, serous, or mucosal structures of the body. Therefore, it is necessary to ascertain and re-establish nearest histological concept available in different classics emphasizing on the modern platform for better understanding and implementation of novel innovation.
Keywords: Kala, Dhatu, Epithelial tissue, Muscle tissue, Haemopoetic tissue.

Authors:   Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement, Klugman Jeni , Joint Data Center World Bank- UNHCR
Published: December 2021

To date, research and analysis of the gendered dimensions of forced displacement have been limited. This Quarterly Digest highlights findings from a new, major World Bank Research Program which has sought to fill this important gap. The papers published from the Program include eight detailed country investigations and three multi-country studies covering 17 countries, and feature innovative methodological approaches, combining different sources of data to test hypotheses. The Digest presents the results over four main areas of research (poverty, livelihood, intimate partner violence, and gender norms), and concludes with a series of recommendations to improve the collection of data to investigate the intersectionality of gender and displacement. The Program’s findings lend support to a number of expected patterns, like the disadvantages faced by displaced women in economic opportunities, but also reveal some counter-intuitive results in particular settings, underscoring the importance of country-specific analysis.

SARS-CoV-2, a newly emergent virus is the responsible agent for causing Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) which is an outgoing pandemic. Test for SARS-CoV-2 is necessary not only to confirm the cases but also to control its transmission. To diagnose Covid-19, Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 is used. A retrospective, cross sectional research was conducted in Brahmanbaria Medical college to find out the prevalence of RT-PCR positivity in suspected COVID-19 patients presented from July, 2021 to August, 2021 in the Department of Microbiology. Data was collected from the registry book of the Department of Microbiology. Among the total suspected samples (n=2025), about 1145 (56.54%) cases found positive. Among the positive cases, 59% were symptomatic, and 41% were asymptomatic. Out of the total confirmed cases, 487 (42.53%) were male & 658 were (56.54) % female. Among the confirmed cases, total recovery cases were 1057 (92.3 %) and death cases were 88 (7.7%). More death was observed in age group between 51-60 years. More than half of the positive cases with a medium number of asymptomatic population indicate a high chance of disease transmission. Female being the more vulnerable group of getting infected and age group above 50 years were more prone to succumb.

The Ambiguity in the Verb Words in the Epic
Authors:   Senior Teacher, Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute, Khamdamova Hanifa
Published: December 2021

This article describes the historical and etymological aspects, lexical and semantic nature of the words used in the epos “Rustamkhan” and their ambiguous features. Polysemy plays a significant role in any language. Linguistic richness is measured not only by words and phrases, but also by the lexical meanings of words. The ambiguity of words is that the phenomenon of polysemy has its place in the richness of language [1, p. 3]. Based on the same principles, we tried to study the polysemous words used in the text of the epic “Rustamkhan” from a semantic, lexical-grammatical and genealogical point of view.

Public Interest Disclosure in Labuan Offshore Banking: Is Statutory Intervention Necessary?
Authors: Zainudin Nur Hazirah , Mohd Yasin Norhashimah
Published: December 2021

Such inquiry like the recent Pandora Papers requires further legislative measure in offshore banking. While banking secrecy is legitimate privacy and viable, it has different character to tax evasion and money laundering activities. This article attempts to analyse public interest disclosure, onshore and offshore banking secrecy law from the perspective of statutory and judicial approaches. Statutory and judicial approaches show that banking secrecy is regarded as strict liability offense in onshore banking. The question arises whether public interest disclosure should be allowed as statutory intervention in Labuan offshore in response to a case like Pandora Papers? This research employs doctrinal analysis to unearth and address a necessary legislative measure for further development in descriptive and prescriptive manner. From the findings, it is evident that statutory intervention is deemed required to assist public interest disclosure for further inquiry and the general rule banking secrecy stated in Section 178 of the Labuan Financial and Securities Services Act 2010 (ACT 704) and Section 139 of the Labuan Islamic Financial and Securities Services Act 2010 (ACT 704). In this case, extensive provisions should be addressed in Section 178 of the Labuan Financial and Securities Services Act 2010 and Section 139 of the Labuan Islamic Financial and Securities Services Act 2010 regarding public interest disclosure within Malaysian offshore context that is fundamentally distinctive from the onshore banking. The forthcoming legislative measure is necessary to prevent such further sail in offshore banking.

Published: December 2021

Guru sebagai pengurus bilik darjah memainkan peranan penting mempelbagaikan menggunakan kaedah dan pendekatan pengajaran yang berbeza untuk melaksanakan pembelajaran aktif. Tinjauan literatur sistematik ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan persepsi guru terhadap penggunaan gamifikasi dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam tempoh 2016 hingga 2021. Pendekatan sistematik PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) digunakan sebagai metodologi kajian. Sejumlah 15 artikel yang berkaitan dengan persepsi guru terhadap penggunaan gamifikasi dipilih dari tiga pangkalan data iaitu Science Direct, IEEE Xplore, dan ERIC dianalisis dan disintesis secara menyeluruh. Secara keseluruhan, hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa gamifikasi diterima secara positif di kalangan guru kerana keberkesanan, kemudahan penggunaan, dan memberi motivasi kepada sifat pelajar. Di samping itu, kesan negatif gamifikasi kepada murid juga dinyatakan dan dianalisis dalam tinjauan ini. Tinjaunan sistematik hanya mengulas 15 artikel tersebut dengan menggunakan kriteria kelayakan dan pengecualian khusus. Kebanyakan artikel yang ditinjau menggunakan kaedah pengumpulan data self-reported seperti tinjauan, temu ramah, dan perbincangan kumpulan fokus. Pendekatan gamifikasi memberi kesan positif kepada guru dan menyebabkan guru lebih menerima platform ini sekarang. Namun, masih ada ruang untuk gamifikasi diperbaiki untuk menghadapi kesan negatif yang dinyatakan. Cadangan untuk penyelidikan masa depan diberikan.

Pendahuluan: Tidak tahan pangan adalah situasi ketika seseorang tidak memiliki akses secara fisik, sosial dan ekonomi untuk memenuhi pangan yang cukup, beragam, aman dan bergizi sesuai kebutuhan untuk hidup sehat dan aktif, yang selanjutnya tidak tahan pangan berhubungan dengan penyakit kronis, termasuk diabetes melitus tipe 2 (DM2). Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui apakah tidak tahan pangan dan rendahnya akses pangan merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya DM2 di Kabupaten Kulon Progo.
Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik dengan desain kasus dan kontrol. Kasus adalah 63 penyandang DM2 yang terdaftar di 4 kecamatan di Kulon Progo. Sedangkan kontrol adalah 63 responden bukan penyandang DM2. Penentuan sampel menggunakan metode purposive dengan penyetaran umur, jenis kelamin dan tempat tinggal. Ketahanan pangan diukur dengan 10 pertanyaan di kuesioner Radimer/Cornel, sedangkan akses pangan dihitung dengan pangsa pengeluaran pangan (PPP) dari kuesioner ekonomi nasional. Variabel lain adalah pendidikan, riwayat keluarga dan pendapatan keluarga.
Hasil: Sebagian responden menempuh pendidikan>9 tahun (50,79% di kelompok kasus dan 60,31% kelompok kontrol). Mereka juga memiliki penghasilan keluarga yang tinggi (>3,2 juta) di kedua kelompok (kasus=65,07;kontrol=74,60%). Riwayat keluarga positif 52,38 di kelompok kasus. Berdasarkan uji x2, riwayat keluarga memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan DM2 (p<0,05;OR=10,45;95%CI=3,70-33,32). Tidak tahan pangan lebih banyak terjadi pada kelompok kontrol (79,36%) daripada kasus (66,67%). Total pengeluaran pangan dan bukan pangan di kelompok kasus lebih tinggi daripada kelompok kontrol. Prosentase PPP tinggi (>60%) sebanyak 84,13% di kasus dan 77,78% di kontrol. Mc Nemar menunjukkan tidak tahan pangan dan akses pangan secara statistik tidak bermakna (p>0,05). Berdasarkan regresi logistik, riwayat keluarga memiliki hubungan paling kuat berkembangnya DM2 (p<0,05;OR=11,95), tidak tahan pangan memiliki nilai p=0,034 dan OR=0,37.
Kesimpulan: Tidak tahan pangan dan akses pangan bukan merupakan faktor risiko DM2, akan tetapi riwayat keluarga memiliki faktor risiko timbulnya DM2 di Kulon Progo tahun 2015.

Pendahuluan: Salmonellosis adalah penyakit infeksi pada manusia dan hewan yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Salmonella sp.. Terapi utama yang dipakai dalam penanganan Salmonellosis adalah dengan pemberian antibiotik. Setiap daerah mempunyai pola sensitivitas Salmonella sp. yang berbeda. Sensitivitas antibiotik terhadap suatu bakteri sangat penting untuk menyesuaikan pengobatan terbaru dan melihat manfaat dari pengobatan sebelumnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui sensitivitas bakteri Salmonella sp. terhadap antibiotik kotrimoksazol.
Metode: Penelitian dilakukan di Laboratorium Mikrobiologi Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Mitra Keluarga Bekasi Timur pada bulan September 2017. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskripstif dengan pendekatan rancangan studi cross sectional. Teknik pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini adalah purposive sampling. Uji sensitivitas antibiotik dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode difusi cakram kertas modifikasi Kirby-Bauer. Prinsip dari metode ini adalah penghambatan terhadap pertumbuhan mikroorganisme, yaitu zona hambatan akan terlihat sebagai zona jernih disekitar daerah yang mengandung zat antibakteri kotrimoksazol. Media yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) dengan menggunakan standar kekeruhan MC Farland 0,5. Penilaian sensitivitas antibiotik kotrimoksazol berdasarkan ukuran zona hambatnya dengan mengukur besarnya diameter daya hambat yang terbentuk disekitar cakram kertas antibiotik tersebut. Diameter zona hambat yang terbentuk semakin besar, maka semakin besar pula sensitivitas antibiotiknya. Interpretasi hasil didasarkan pada zona hambat yang terbentuk dan disesuaikan dengan kriteria standar dari Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2014. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 9 sampel isolat Salmonella sp. yang berasal feses.
Hasil: Hasil uji sensitivitas antibitotik kotrimoksazol terhadap bakteri Salmonella sp. menunjukkan bahwa bakteri Salmonella sp., sensitif 100% terhadap antibiotik kotrimoksol dengan rerata diameter zona hambat 31,11 mm.
Kesimpulan: Berdasarkan uraian kesimpulan di atas dapat dilakukan penelitian rutin untuk periode tertentu mengenai pola sensitivitas dari bakteri penyebab demam tifoid di berbagai daerah secara berkala karena masing-masing daerah mempunyai pola sensitivitas yang berbeda dan bervariasi pada waktu dan tempat yang berbeda.
