Authors: Akhyar Zul , Amri  , Nurdin Ridwan
Published: August 2022

This study examines the emotional intelligence and work environment role in motivation and its impact on employee performance. This study was conducted at PT. Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Aceh Consolidated Area, which was formerly PT. Bank Syariah Mandiri (BSM) before joining two other Islamic banks. The BSI Aceh Consolidated Area was chosen to see the impact of the merger on BSI employees who were formerly BSM employees. The population is BSI Aceh Consolidated Area employees totaling 400 employees. The sample was selected using a simple random sampling, the number of which was determined was 150 employees. The test equipment used is SEM-AMOS. The results prove that in the BSI Aceh Consolidated Area of Emotional and Environmental Intelligence was found to affect employee motivation; Emotional, environmental and motivational intelligence were also found to influence performance; and motivation mediates the emotional intelligence and the environment's role in performance partially. This finding also proves that the model for improving the BSI Aceh Consolidated Area employee performance is a function of increasing emotional intelligence and increasing environmental comfort, so that it can have an impact on increasing motivation.

Síndrome aórtico agudo con manifestaciones neurológicas: la ecografia, un aliado en épocas de pandemia
Authors: Márquez Julia Susana , Secchi Melisa Ana
Published: August 2022

El síndrome aórtico agudo representa un desafío diagnóstico y terapéutico. Según el territorio afectado, las manifestaciones clínicas pueden ser muy variables, presentándose en hasta un 29% de los casos con síntomas neurológicos1 y ocasionando retrasos diagnósticos si se presentan de manera aislada, es decir sin dolor torácico (que se presenta en más del 90% de los casos). La ecocardiografía es una herramienta diagnóstica fundamental en el diagnóstico inicial, especialmente en pacientes hemodinámicamente inestables. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de mediana edad, con deterioro del sensorio precedida por dolor torácico.

Published: August 2022

El deporte a alta intensidad puede producir situaciones de riesgo, incluso fatales, en sujetos con anomalías cardiovasculares, por tanto, es fundamental un diagnóstico precoz de las cardiopatías para disminuir el riego. La valoración cardiológica en los deportistas requiere de una interpretación cuidadosa y detallada de las adaptaciones cardiacas al entrenamiento, siendo necesario conocer el corazón del deportista para no limitar la participación deportiva, especialmente en los casos limítrofes, y evitar truncar su vida deportiva con el consecuente detrimento en todos los aspectos de la vida del deportista.
Aneurisma subvalvar mitral: actualizando lo que sabemos en el jubileo de diamante de la enfermedad
Authors: Sierra Alta Wendy , Figueiredo-Maturana Elaine
Published: August 2022

El ASM forma parte de una entidad relacionada con una debilidad innata de la pared ventricular, específicamente en el área de implantación de la cúspide mitral posterior, resultando en la pérdida de la arquitectura valvar y, en consecuencia, regurgitación y dilatación aneurismática ventricular. Para completar su diagnóstico no es suficiente la presencia del aneurisma, es necesario excluir que su etiología sea isquémica. La principal hipótesis es la de origen congénito sumado en ocasiones, a la presencia de procesos inflamatorios que funcionan como gatillos, en pacientes con predisposición. Los métodos de imagen tienen un papel fundamental en el diagnóstico y la definición anatómica, para decidir la mejor forma de abordaje quirúrgico. Con mejora de las técnicas de exclusión del aneurisma, plastia y recambio valvular mitral, los pacientes tienen un pronóstico favorable. Hoy es una enfermedad documentada en América, Europa y Asia, con predominio en población joven, africana o afrodescendiente, sin embargo, con casos documentados en individuos jóvenes de todas las razas y es por esta expansión geográfica que debe ser considerada como una causa de insuficiencia mitral en pacientes jóvenes.

Authors: Montoya Morales Zuleika Nallely , Machain Leyva Cyntia Zulema
Published: August 2022

La hendidura aislada de la valva mitral anterior (no asociada con defecto del tabique auriculoventricular o defecto en la fusión de los cojinetes endocárdicos) es una causa rara de insuficiencia mitral congénita. Cuando sea posible, la reparación de la válvula mitral (sutura directa de la hendidura con o sin inserción de anillo anular protésico) es preferible al reemplazo de la válvula. Presentamos un caso clínico en el que describimos la utilidad de la ecocardiografía transesofágica (ETE) tridimensional (3D) para el diagnóstico y evaluación morfológica del defecto para ayudar en la planificación del procedimiento quirúrgico.
THE EFFECT OF A TOPICAL AGENT WITH MUPIROCIN ON MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT CLINICAL STRAINS OF S. AUREUS ISOLATED FROM PATIENTS WITH COMMON DERMATOSES
Authors: Kutasevych Yanina , Dzhoraieva Svetlana , Goncharenko Valentinа , Ivantsova Helen , Shchogoleva Helen
Published: August 2022

Introduction. Therapy of infectious lesions is complicated due to the growing resistance of the main pathogens of pyoderma, especially S. aureus. A key component of the treatment of diseases with mild and moderate severity is the use of local antistaphylococcal drugs that can reach maximum doses in the focus of secondary infection, minimizing the side effects of antibiotics.
The aim is to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the ointment with mupirocin in relation to polyresistant clinical strains of S. aureus, isolated from patients with common dermatoses.
Materials & Methods.
Using the disk-diffusion method, the antibiotic resistance profile of 142 clinical strains of S. aureus was studied with the revision of the biofilming ability of 36 clinical strains of S. aureus using the method of adhesion to polystyrene. It was evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of the ointment with mupirocin in the treatment of these diseases aggravated by secondary infection.
Results. According to the monitoring, the share of multi drug resistance strains (multi drug resistance, MDR) was 54.2 %, and extensive drug resistance (extreme drug resistance, XDR) – 4.9 %. Exactly 49 clinical MDR strains were selected for detailed determination of the antibacterial action of mupirocin. It was found that mupirocin actively suppressed the growth of both MRSA and MSSA. No clinical strain resistant to mupirocin was detected. It was found that 20.0% of clinical strains had a high ability to biofilm formation, medium - 60.0%, low - 20.0%. The ointment with mupirocin exhibits a highly effective antibacterial effect against clinical MRSA. As a result of the use of an ointment with mupirocin for external treatment of patients with common dermatoses during an exacerbation, regression of clinical signs of pyococcal infection was noted in 93.0 % of individuals.
Conclusion.
As a result of the performed researches it is proved that Mupirocin has rather expressed antistaphylococcal activity, including against MRSA of strains with high ability to formation of biofilms. The level of antimicrobial action of Mupirocin allows to recommend its use as a drug for external therapy of microbial complications of common dermatoses, which will increase the effectiveness of therapy during exacerbation, avoid side effects, reduce systemic pharmacological load, achieve sustainable, long-term remission of the patients.

Keywords: clinical strains of S. aureus, antibiotic resistance, external antibiotic therapy, mupirocin.

Antimicrobial Potential of Grape Seed Extract and MTA: A Comparative Experimental Study
Authors: Elgendi Huda , Hamdy Mai
Published: August 2022

AIM: This study aims to evaluate and compare the antibacterial potential of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and grape seed extract (GSE) against Streptococcus mutans, Enterococcus faecalis, Staph aureus, Candida albicans, Lactobacillus spp., and Streptococcus sobrinus.

HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that GSE could have potent antimicrobial effect against oral pathogens when compared to MTA.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: MTA and GSE were utilized to determine the antibacterial effectiveness against S. mutans, E. faecalis, S. aureus, C. albicans, Lactobacillus spp. and S. sobrinus using the agar well diffusion test. The tested materials were used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and put into the prepared wells of agar plates; diluted inocula (105 and 106 CFU/ml) of the tested microorganism strains were also used. For bacteria, all plates were incubated at 37°C in anaerobic conditions, and for C. albicans, at 30°C. The inhibitory zones were determined after 3 days. A digital caliper was used to measure the diameter of bacterial inhibition zones surrounding each well to the nearest size in mm.

RESULTS: GSE-created inhibition zones against all tested microorganisms except C. albicans, zones were significantly larger than MTA-created zones (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: Both MTA and GSE showed antimicrobial effect against all tested microorganisms except C. albicans, which will pave the route to use GSE as a natural herbal substitute of MTA.

Authors: Azmi Yufi Aulia , Renaldo Johan
Published: August 2022

Introduction: The current economy, technology, and civilization's development have indirectly increased the incidence of traffic accidents, and urogenital trauma occurs in 10-20% of trauma patients. We decided to conduct this study to determine the incidence, severity, and outcome of urogenital trauma treatment at Dr Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. 
Material and Method: This study used an analytic observational study with a retrospective design. From 2013 to 2020, all medical record data of patients with urogenital trauma treated at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya were collected and analyzed.
Result: We collected 196 subjects with urogenital trauma who were treated for a period of 8 years. The most common type of trauma in urogenital trauma patients was kidney trauma, as many as 82 cases. Most of the cases were traffic accident cases, 184 patients and most of them with abdominal-pelvic trauma with 189 findings. Conservative management was most often performed, as many as 128 procedures. The outcome after receiving treatment was found to be that 27 patients died (13.8%) and 11 patients (6.5%) had a disability. Abdominal trauma was associated with external genitalia, urethra, and renal trauma (p < 0.05). External genitalia, urethra, bladder, and renal trauma were all associated with pelvic trauma (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Most cases were caused by accidents, and the kidney was the most commonly involved organ. Cases of urogenital trauma are often associated with multiple trauma, especially abdominal trauma, so it is important to evaluate the urogenital tract when related to accidents involving the abdominal region

Published: August 2022

Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) represents a new, non-invasive method, used in the diagnosis of diffuse liver diseases. The method has been widely used instead of liver biopsy - an invasive procedure with potential major risk complications. Compared to liver biopsy, SWE provides an examination of larger areas of the liver, thus providing better staging of hepatic fibrosis. 
30 patients were included in the study on basis of previous clinical, biochemical, and ultrasound findings indicating a presence of a chronic liver lesion.  Patients were divided into three groups: 6 patients with steatosis, 13 patients with viral hepatitis, and 11 patients with liver cirrhosis. Liver damage biochemical markers, serum markers of liver fibrosis, and SWE were determined in all patients. Statistical analysis revealed a positive correlation between SWE results, and the values of biochemical markers of the hepatic lesion, as well as serum markers of liver fibrosis.

Published: August 2022

The Republic of Indonesia's 1945 Constitution Article 28B and the Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection Article 13 clause (1) state that children have the right for protection against discriminative behaviors, economic and sexual exploitation, neglect, cruelty, violence, torture, injustice, and other wrongful treatments. This research aims: (1) to describe the violence to children, (2) to describe the community support system-based healthcare policy concept for children as violence victims. This is a normative legal research which is carried out by literature review and by analyzing secondary data. The approaches used are the statute approach and the conceptual approach. It uses the descriptive method, as it aims to clearly describe the various things related to the analyzed objects. The policies proposed in this research are those which are analyzed using the Fishbone model. The identification process is carried out by finding the main problem which affects the legal protection for children as violence victims in the Covid-19 pandemic era which is not yet optimum. It uses some indicators, which are: (1) policies; (2) regulations; (3) family; (4) education institutions; (5) the society which are described as small bones. Then, the big bones are the analysis which is not yet optimum. The research results show that during this pandemic, the violence towards children have drastically increased. On June 2020, there were 3.555 cases, which increased to 4.928 cases on July 2020. Because of that, the government needs to formulate an inter-sectoral child protection

Published: August 2022

Background; Cardiac injury is a prevalent complication and is associated with worse prognosis in COVID-19 patients. The increased cardiac workload resulting from respiratory failure and hypoxemia is a common mechanism of cardiac injury and the right ventricle may bear the brunt of its impact. The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence and prognostic value of RV dysfunction in COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU using conventional echocardiography parameters.Patients were subjected to full history taking, and clinical examination, Computed Tomography of chest was done for all patients to assess severity of lung infiltration, all patients received standard treatment according to Ministry of Health and Population COVID19 treatment protocol recommendations. Echocardiographic assessment was done to all patients.The mean age of the patients was 61.10±9.64years (range 42-80years).There were 36 (60%) male and 24 (40%) female. The non-survivor group consisted of 28 patients (46.7%) and survivors consisted of 32 patients (53.3%). There was statistically significant association between mortality and RV function  regarding TAPSE, FAC%, RV basal diameter and EPAP. We concluded that in COVID-19 patients, RV function must be assessed and its prognostic importance recognized. RV dysfunction is not only a symptom of high pulmonary pressures, but it also contributes to cardiac insufficiency.

Background:

Health educators are called on to dismantle health care inequities as they train future health care clinicians to deliver care that promotes equity, improves access to care, and actively addresses antiracism.

Method:

Through an Advanced Nursing Workforce grant by the Health Resources and Services Administration, a partnership was established with the Institute for Perinatal Quality Improvement to provide training for health care clinicians and students on ways to SPEAK UP against implicit and explicit bias with an emphasis on maternal health.

Results:

Dismantling racism is a continuous process. Activities included self-reflection, small group meetings, antiracism and bias training, and community engagement.

Conclusion:

Acknowledging that racism and health inequities exist and directly contribute to the rise in maternal and infant mortality is only the beginning. Rethinking nursing education, curriculum, and clinical care to train culturally responsive health care clinicians is required to address systemic and structural racism in health care.

Large time behavior of the solutions with spreading fronts in the Allen-Cahn equations on $ \mathbb R^n $
Authors: Nara Mitsunori
Published: August 2022

We consider the initial value problem of the Allen-Cahn equation on \begin{document}$ \mathbb R^n $\end{document} with \begin{document}$ n\geq2 $\end{document} and study the large time behavior of the solutions with spreading fronts. Our result states that, under some mild assumptions on initial values, the solution develops a well-formed front whose position roughly coincides with the spreading sphere that is a solution of mean curvature flow with a driving constant, and that in each radial direction the distance between the level set of the solution and the spreading sphere converges to a value as time goes to infinity.
The Possibility of Protecting and Expanding Capabilities via Fundamental Social Rights: The Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988
Authors: Britto Melina Carla de Souza , Folloni André Parmo , Cruz Fabrício Bittencourt da
Published: August 2022

This paper analyses the relation between capabilities (regarding Amartya Sen’s capability approach and development theory) and fundamental social rights ensured in the Brazilian Constitution of 1988. It seeks to answer whether the fundamental social rights guaranteed in the Constitution serve to protect and expand capabilities. Using the deductive analysis method, as well doing a bibliographic review, we first make a brief discussion of Amartya Sen’s theory of development as freedom. After we analyse what are fundamental social rights in Brazil’s legal system and how they operate, they are compared to Amartya Sen’s notion of rights as means and entitlements to capabilities. Finally, we analyse the possibility of protection and expansion of capabilities through those fundamental social rights constitutionally granted. We conclude that fundamental social rights can be means to protect and expand capabilities once they are fully implemented in society. Thus, guarantee of fundamental social rights and its value as entitlements to capabilities cannot be left in the hands of the Judiciary Power as it needs to be observed by all the Public Administration, especially in making public policies.
New Tillage Technique for Better Orchard Management
Authors: Elaoud Anis , Jalel Rim
Published: August 2022

Climate change impacts all agricultural production in all territories. Its effects are already clearly visible on orchards. This chapter makes it possible to better understand the changes that farmers will be faced with and therefore to consider changes to their system as soon as possible in order to sustain their work. Indeed, current cultivation practices (conventional) are based on the multitude of tool passages in succession, without considering the negative effects, in the medium and long term, on the structure of the soil and on its topsoil. Thus, the excessive number of passages of agricultural tools results in increased energy consumption and a high hourly requirement per hectare. Indeed, this phenomenon of agricultural soil compaction is one of the main causes of its physical degradation. However, the rational use of agricultural land requires the introduction of new techniques of tillage as well as appropriate mechanization, which meets the requirements of crops, the improvement of production, and the preservation of the structured soil.
Emblica officinalis Orchard-Based Agroforestry for Augmented Productivity
Authors: Dubey Kumud , Dubey K. P.
Published: August 2022

Emblica officinalis (Indian Gooseberry or Aonla) is a horticultural commercial crop. Among various agroforestry, a number of fruit orchard-based agroforestry systems are practiced all over parts of the country. These systems not only provide fruits but also fulfill the necessity of timber, food, fuel, and fodder. Aonla's orchard-based agri-horticultural system has immense potential for the betterment of people's livelihoods. Due to its thin canopy and leaf shedding nature in the winter season, orchards of this fruit tree species are well suited for agro-forestry. Aonla orchard-based agroforestry was discussed in the present study. Agricultural crop (wheat and paddy) grain and straw production data were recorded under Aonla orchard-based agroforestry. Though the agricultural crop production was reduced, Aonla fruits gave an additional income to the farmers. Overall, a good economic return is obtained from Aonla orchard-based agroforestry. Utilization of Aonla orchard interspace with the traditional cropping system was profitable in the Gangetic region of Uttar Pradesh, India.
Paradigm Shift in the Functioning of the Tourism and Hotel Industry Using NLP, Digital Assistant, and AI Models
Authors: Tripathi Praveen , Kumar Sunil , Rawat Pradeep
Published: August 2022

Hotels should collaborate with the right technology partner in order to identify gaps in their processes such as customer support, concierge bookings, and in-room technology that can be closed with the help of integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning. AI is doing great for big and established hotel industry brands while, due to the cost barriers, smaller brands in this industry receive less attention from AI. Whether it is the on-season, investing in cloud computing services to facilitate the functioning of the hospitality industry seems unfeasible for smaller organizations. If a hotel provides facilities of automation using AI and ML, then the hotel staff can invest time to focus the quality of service, furnishing full range of hotel facilities to their intended guests, which in-turn results in increased operational efficiency, which may help in remarkable growth by increasing the annual revenue of the organization. It is a good choice to add the latest trends in the processes used in the tourism and hotel industries.
Are We More Social or Individual by the Digital Ethnographic Tool?
Authors: Chowdhury Jahid Siraz , Wahab Haris Abd , Saad Mohd Rashid M , Rakhine Mong A. Line
Published: August 2022

Now, why should anthropology or the larger social sciences, like ours, be particularly interested in this pandemic? Digitally? The problem is, as we have experienced during this epidemic, daily academic texts, newspapers, webinars, home-based work, and so on. If we are based on the digital approach to ethnography, perhaps we can ask what has it brought to us. Are we within ourselves, or in the digital tool? Maybe we can put it simply, Are we more individualistic or more social? Are we in communication, which is totally abstract, or in a connection that is more practical, reciprocal, and contributing? As we know, we are limited in our thinking and actions, yet we can bring this discussion in detail. What the authors have collected from the fieldwork of the Bioprospecting project with the Rakhain community in Bangladesh may be helpful to other sections of the global readership. To an extent, policymakers can think of connectivity, reciprocity, and practical contributions if we are social animals.
Digital Ethnography Within Indigenous Contexts
Authors: Parahakaran Suma
Published: August 2022

The emergence of new trends such as openness in digitalising information has led to sharing, collaborating, and selection of texts and images both visual and illustrative. These trends will provide rich, unique visual images in blogs, websites, and social media, which will contribute to research knowledge in specific and intradisciplinary mode. However, research in digital ethnography has to be collaborative and participatory and realistic without losing the unique rich history and their place-based knowledge and time-bound contexts. The number of studies have to be collated to look at the trends and patterns and the significant findings so that there are valid and realistic contribution to the different fields. The competencies of researchers to develop digital ethnography are explored in detail. They are exploring through cross cultural communication skills, skills in participatory processes within the social context, and science-technology-society approach within diverse indigenous groups both locally and globally.

This chapter aims to explore the online training activities and visual education in Bangladesh that is envisaged on academic capitalism. To understand the virtual training or academic scenarios, we have to depend on mainly secondary data sources, but the authors have crosschecked whenever they had the opportunities to do that. COVID-19 sped up our virtual steps, but behind that, a financial matter is involved. COVID-19, virtual training, and money matters all are involved in quality education.
Refugee Attitudes Towards Patient Autonomy-Based Ethics of Informed Consent
Authors: Sevimli Sukran
Published: August 2022

The objective of this study was to identify refugees' attitudes concerning the autonomy-based ethics of informed consent and to determine whether these attitudes varied by gender. A quantitative methodology was adopted for this study. Questions were scored using a Likert-type scale and face-to-face interviews were conducted with 610 refugees who had migrated to Turkey from MENA and Caucasia countries. Refugees from eleven countries participated in the survey, of whom the majority were men (62.5% male versus 37.5% female). Autonomy is a fundamental principle of human rights and medical ethics. Refugees from MENA countries, where the concept of autonomy is contrary to the deeply-held traditional religious views of much of the population, in general, have a poor grasp of informed consent as a patient right. Traditional values steeped in patriarchy constitute an obstacle to women making decisions regarding their own lives in MENA and Caucasia countries. Therefore, the practice of informed consent is of critical importance in helping to reduce gender differentials in healthcare.
Success and Failures in the Development of an Inclusive Online Learning Environment
Authors: Marshall-Bradley Tina
Published: August 2022

Developing engaging learning environments for the benefit of all learners is a challenge for online programs. Research has shown that online learning environments are not designed to engage Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) for value that they bring to academic programs. Walden University and the master's in education (MSED) program have created foundational areas that can be used to create equitable learning environments. Arroyo and Gasman's 2014 model of Historically Black College and Universities' (HBCUs) student support provides a strong plan for institutions to change practices in support of BIPOC and other marginalized communities. Building on the activities of the revised core courses in the MSED program, and using the HBCU-inspired framework and recommendations from external reviewer, a case study is considered. This case study suggests an institution can build an online experience that is inclusive and supports the work of BIPOC and other marginalized communities.

Authors: Dickson Todd A.
Published: August 2022

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are intimately connected to social determinants of health (SDOH). SDOH are crucial and can have a substantial impact on disparities in health outcomes. Nurses have a social mandate to address health disparities by recognizing social determinants of health and contributing to the development and implementation of initiatives to eliminate healthcare disparities for individuals, groups, and communities. This chapter defines the principles essential for addressing health equity and highlights the historical importance of nursing efforts in tackling health and healthcare disparities. Next, this chapter talks about the current state of various contextual elements that influence nursing education, with a focus on health equity and issues that will affect nursing education and the nursing workforce in the future.
The Students We Have

Published: August 2022

Students who choose to enter college in their twenties, thirties, and beyond face the challenges of balancing their academic experiences with busier lives, often with little social capital to guide them through the intricacies of college life. Students may feel overwhelmed, easily discouraged, or overlooked by people within their institution, including their professors. Instructors who, themselves, lack the experience of being first-generation college students may struggle to identify with the behaviors of the students they teach. They may see their roles as evaluators more than as partners or guides. The practice of compassionate grading and teaching can increase opportunities for trusting relationships to form among instructors and students, and for learning to occur.
A Framework to Measure Inclusion
Authors: Jobe Rebecca L. , McCune Nina M. , Lynn Laura K.
Published: August 2022

Inclusive learning environments create a well-rounded education that initiates and amplifies the diverse experiences of all students. In higher education, this requires that all learning spaces, from the point of onboarding and classrooms through social clubs and completion, are designed in ways that promote the active participation of learners, and that students feel a sense of purpose, belonging, and safety to engage fully in the academic process. Institutions working to integrate and assess inclusive teaching and learning need to carefully consider their institutional mission and understand the history and potential challenges of developing systemic, structural inclusion within their organization. Successfully measuring inclusion requires clear operational definitions and comprehensive evaluation that includes both quantitative and qualitative assessment. This chapter reviews the importance of creating an inclusive environment in higher education, the barriers that arise, and the need for reliable and valid means of measuring its effectiveness.

This chapter examines, introduces, and documents the exploration and initial review of an institutional self-assessment toolkit designed to query and instigate discussion of how institutions perceive equity as they serve “historically-underserved” undergraduate students. A pilot of the toolkit, developed by the National Institutes for Historically Underserved Students (NIHUS), was evaluated by a working group of the Undergraduate Advisory Council within Walden University. The working group generated feedback to the NIHUS on the toolkit and considered potential wider adoption across undergraduate education within the university. This exploration and collaboration continues.

The perspectives of speech–language pathologists: Providing teletherapy to patients with speech, language and swallowing difficulties during a COVID-19 context
Authors: Tar-Mahomed Zahraa , Kater Kelly-Ann
Published: August 2022

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a huge impact on every facet of life. This directly included the delivery of health care from allied health professionals such as speech–language pathologists (SLPs) in South Africa. Research has shown that there is limited research done locally on the impact of COVID-19 relating to stroke care. Consequently, this results in a lack of research on the provision of speech, language and swallowing intervention using teletherapy after a stroke from an SLP point of view.Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of SLPs with regard to their use of teletherapy in a COVID-19 context when providing speech, language and swallowing intervention for patients after a stroke.Methods: This study made use of a qualitative approach. An electronic questionnaire was sent to SLPs inviting them to participate in the study. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants and thematic content analysis was used to analyse the open-ended qualitative questions.Results: The findings show that SLPs experienced a variety of facilitators and barriers to using teletherapy. Additionally, issues of access differ across the private and public sector SLPs for both the clients and the SLPs.Conclusion: The current study provided research in the field of teletherapy, which is relatively new in the South African context. The study, whilst small in scale, provided some insight into the changes experienced from the shift to teletherapy.
Comparison of the Effectiveness of Two-Handed Mask Ventilation Techniques (C-E versus V-E) in Obese Patients Requiring General Anesthesia in an Indian Population
Authors: Bharadwaj Meghana S. , Sharma Mamta , Purohit Shobha , Joseph Anie
Published: August 2022

Background:

Two-handed mask ventilation techniques are often used in cases of difficult mask ventilation scenarios. A comparison of two methods of two-handed techniques in terms of tidal volume was undertaken in the context of the obese population.

Aims and Objectives:

To determine and compare the effectiveness of mask ventilation in obese Indian adult subjects by using either the C-E technique or the V-E technique after induction of general anaesthesia.

Material and Methods:

This was a randomised interventional study conducted on eighty obese patients. They were randomized into Group A ventilated with C-E technique and Group B with V-E technique. Expired tidal volume (VTe), Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), SpO2, EtCO2 and vital signs were noted.

Results:

The BMI and hemodynamic parameters were comparable between the two groups. The expired tidal volume of 702 ± 77 mL with the V-E technique was significantly more than the C-E technique, which was 492 ± 71 mL. The ventilatory failure rate with the C-E technique was 15% and 0% with the V-E technique. There was no significant difference between the peak airway pressures for the two techniques: 20.3 ± 1.5 mm H2O for Group A and 20.5 ± 1.2 mm H2O for Group B.

Conclusions:

Mask ventilation with the two-handed V-E technique is associated with better tidal volumes and reduced failure rates in the obese population. So the V-E technique should be attempted first as a rescue measure in obese adult patients if the return of spontaneous breathing and tracheal intubation is impossible.

Penile erection under general anesthesia is a rare occurrence. It may cause delay, complications or can even lead to cancellation of an elective transurethral surgery. In literature, various methods and techniques have been mentioned with variable rates of success and side effects. However, the management becomes challenging and it needs a tailored approach according to the patient's clinical condition with the aim of minimizing complications. Hereby, reporting two cases of successful management of intraoperative priapism in patients undergoing transurethral surgery under general anesthesia.

Authors: Shahbaz Sheikh , Iftekhar Huma , Alam Sharique , Mishra Surendra Kumar
Published: August 2022

Objective:

Present in-vitro study aimed to evaluate the apical leakage of different bioceramic retrofilling materials with and without smear layer.

Materials and Methods:

Sixty human single-rooted teeth were decoronated at a standardized root length of 13 mm, chemo-mechanically prepared and obturated. After obturation, root-end resection was done and root-end cavities were prepared using ultrasonic tips. The specimens with prepared retro cavities were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n = 30) based on the smear layer removal protocol used. Each group was further subdivided into 3 subgroups (n = 10) based on the bioceramic retrofilling material MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate; Proroot Dentsply/Tulsa), CEM (Calcium-Enriched Mixture; Bionique Dent, Tehran) and ERRM (EndoSequence® Root Repair Material; Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA). The extension of dye (2% Rhodamine B) penetration was measured in millimetre using a stereomicroscope at 10× zoom. Results were statistically analysed using one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance) test and unpaired Student's t test.

Results:

In the presence of smear layer, MTA demonstrated maximum mean apical leakage value (1.70 ± 0.30), followed by CEM (1.40 ± 0.37) and ERRM (1.40 ± 0.23), which was statistically not significant. Without the smear layer, ERRM demonstrated the least mean apical leakage value, which was statistically significant as compared with CEM (P <.05) and MTA (P <.01).

Conclusion(s):

All bioceramic retrofilling materials demonstrated apical leakage irrespective of the presence or absence of the smear layer. The presence of a smear layer is beneficial for the sealing ability of MTA and CEM, whereas, the absence of the smear layer is advocated while using ERRM.

Published: August 2022

Purpose:

The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of five pre-treatment behaviour modification techniques in 4–7-year olds in reducing dental anxiety by evaluating pulse rate, partial pressure of oxygen, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, salivary flow rate, salivary pH, and through modified facial anxiety scale.

Material and Methods:

Using simple random sampling technique (drawing of lots), 125 children were equally distributed into 5 groups of 25 each: Group 1: tell-show-do (control); Group 2: tell-show-play-doh; Group 3: Playmobil Dentist; Group 4: mobile dentist games; Group 5: role play as dentist. Samples in each group were treated in a single appointment after using the behaviour modification techniques. Class I or Class II cavities were prepared on carious primary molar and restored using glass ionomer cement. Patient's anxiety level was assessed by recording blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, salivary pH, salivary flow rate, and facial anxiety scale at different time intervals, that is before the treatment, during the treatment, and after the treatment.

Results:

All the intervention Groups (Groups 2–5) showed reduced anxiety scores in both physiological and facial anxiety compared to the control group, that is tell, show do. The modified distraction techniques aid in better modification.

Conclusion:

Tell-show-play-doh, Playmobil dentist games, mobile dentist games and role play as dentist are effective distraction techniques as compared to conventional tell-show-do techniques which can be incorporated in day-to-day clinical practice to reduce dental anxiety in paediatric patients.
