Home Office And Breastfeeding: Perspectives On Breastfeeding Rates During And After The COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Montagnoli Caterina
Published: November 2022

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding/chestfeeding for the first six months of life, encouraging its continuation as long as the mother and infant desire. European rates of breast-milk feeding quickly decrease after four months, suggesting that there are other determinants, including personal characteristics and parental leave, which work against breastfeeding continuation. Recently, new working practices have been adopted since the COVID-19 pandemic that might reduce this decline in breastfeeding. There are some objective elements supporting teleworking as a new breastfeeding-friendly option for both parents to adopt.
The impact of lay support for the birthing woman and her partner: expanding the circle of intimacy
Authors: Nugus Peter , McGowan Linda , Garrod Debbie , Darwin Zoe
Published: November 2022

This article is the first of a three-part series drawing on the findings of a doctoral study of midwife-father communications during labour and birth.1 Recognising birth as a ‘social experience’, it questions the arbitrary limits placed on the number of supporters permitted to accompany the birthing woman. It offers a new perspective on the presence of ‘additional’ birth companions, aiming to promote reflection and discussion amongst midwives about ‘lay support’ for the woman in labour: who is best placed to offer such support; how and when discussions about this issue can be facilitated.

Making birthplace choice a reality: the need for a national Homebirth Network
Authors: Rivers Frances
Published: November 2022

In well-resourced countries, giving birth at home supported by midwives delivers some of the best outcomes for healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies.1,2 But only a tiny fraction of UK births are at home. In 2020, the homebirth rate was 2.4%. While the rate has risen, a ‘postcode lottery’ affects choices. In some areas, rates are close to 10% while in others they are less than 0.5%.3 No matter where they live, women and families should have the choice to plan a homebirth. This article proposes a national Homebirth Network to support the provision of safe, standardised homebirth services across the UK.

Published: November 2022

To improve sustainable agriculture it becomes crucial to minimize the use of chemical inputs and involve new practices that are more productive and healthier for humans and environment. Biofertilization with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), known for increasing the productivity of many crops including potatoes, could be considered as one of these sustainable practices. The purpose of this study was to determine whether mycorrhizal inoculation can minimize chemical fertilization for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), one of the most demanding species in mineral elements. Thus, by studying the effect of chemical fertilization and mycorrhizal inoculant on potato yield and soil quality. Two doses of chemical fertilizer (NP) corresponding to 50 % and 100 % of the recommended dose has been applied in the presence or not of the mycorrhizal inoculant. The results have shown that adding arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in combination with 50 % of the chemical fertilizer dose gives the best effects. A significant increase in yield, root colonization, and P soil content has been observed (P < 0.001). Thus mycorrhizal inoculation could reduce the application of synthetic fertilizers and thus improve yield while preserving the environment.

Prospect for green policing: Constructs and dimensions of environmental sustainability in the context of public safety
Authors: Romualdo Alvin
Published: November 2022

The vulnerability of the environment to the risk posed by climate change becomes even more exponential with the rapid phase of the industrial revolution and globalization in the contemporary era. As a key pillar of sustainability, the role of every societal sector is critical in the consummation of environmental equilibrium. This study was carried out to develop a common framework for the programming of green activities in the realm of public safety sectors and to establish standardized indicators for the coordination and complementation of environmental sustainability efforts and initiatives. The study employed a quantitative research design that supports the use of an instrument to explore the constructs and dimensions of environmental sustainability in public safety through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) via Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The data harbored a 0.964 index on the Kaiser-Mayer-Oldin (KMO) Measure of Sampling Adequacy which implies that the explored constructs are highly correlated. Similarly, Barlett's Test of Sphericity demonstrated strong significance with a value of .000, implying that all indicators are factorable. Furthermore, the Scree plot revealed that there are two (2) dimensions that yielded an Eigenvalue that is equal to or greater than 1 (λ=≥1) namely Green Behavior and Sustainable Operations. The explored constructs and dimensions are necessary for the development of a model for Green Policing which can serve as a basis for monitoring and evaluation of environmental law enforcement and environmental sustainability efforts of the public safety sectors.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Lupus Nephritis is a common and severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. Therapy based on immunosuppressants and glucocorticoids has recently been proposed as a possible treatment for Rituximab, but the evidence on its efficacy is limited.
Methods: The present observational study was conducted at the José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital (Cuenca-Ecuador) in patients with lupus nephropathy treated with Rituximab in 2018. Efficacy was evaluated with creatinine clearance and proteinuria measurement. Demographic characteristics are described, and the Wilcoxon test was used for comparisons.
Results: 28 cases were analyzed; 78.6% were women, 38.3 years old, and 35.7% had membranous lupus nephritis (class V). The creatinine and creatinine clearance values did not present significant variations at three, six, nine, and twelve months. The 24-hour proteinuria values were significantly lower after the administration of Rituximab; from the third month, significant changes were observed that were maintained at six, nine, and 12 months.
Conclusion: Rituximab, when used to treat Lupus Nephritis, has a stabilizing effect on creatinine and creatinine clearance values, that is, without disease progression, with a significant decrease in proteinuria.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health problem worldwide. The average prevalence worldwide in 2021 was between 11 and 13%, and the mortality associated with CKD is high. It is estimated that By 2040, it will be the fifth cause of death due to all pathologies. One of the risk factors for CKD is obesity, in addition to the classic entities known as diabetes mellitus (DM) and high blood pressure (HTN).
These days, obesity has crossed the limit from an isolated disease to becoming an epidemic; it is estimated that its prevalence in the next decade will increase by 40%. One of the factors that explain this growth is the increase in children with obesity. Obesity is associated with a high healthcare burden derived from the increased risk of various pathological conditions such as DM, HTN, infections, osteoarthritis, and, of course, CKD.
The causal relationship between obesity and CKD has been known for many years. Just as there is a relationship between poverty and kidney failure, there is a relationship between poverty and obesity, with poverty being considered a common risk factor for obesity and chronic kidney disease. Some reports describe that up to 44% of patients with CKD have obesity (21.9% class I obesity, 11.1% class 2 and 3 obesity).
In a recent narrative review titled “Obesity and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Look from the Pathophysiological Mechanisms,” we described the different mechanisms of action that involve obesity with the onset and development of CKD, finding common and uncommon pathophysiological mechanisms. That relates to obesity as a cause of CKD. Derived from this review, we found that not all patients with CKD associated with obesity (CKD-AO) are the same, and four phenotypes are established, of which 3 of them occur in patients with CKD who are not on obesity therapies. Renal support (RST) and type 4 in patients with CKD-AO who are on dialysis, which has a “J” curve phenomenon where in patients with CKD without dialysis, obesity is a risk factor. It is associated with decreased survival, while in patients who are in kidney function replacement programs, obesity is a protective factor associated with a nutritional status that allows mortality to be reduced in patients in dialysis programs.

Published: December 2022

CONTEXT: Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) are observable tasks that are regular parts of a physician’s daily clinical work. Before being permitted to accomplish these tasks independently, trainees must gain their supervisors’ trust. Defining the list of EPAs that should be mastered by the end of a residency is critical to setting clear expectations about autonomous practice.

OBJECTIVE: To collect all the lists of EPAs defined for residencies in general internal medicine and synthesise them into a reference work useful for developing new lists of EPAs or improving existing ones.

METHOD: This systematic review searched five databases and relevant grey literature using keywords related to EPAs and postgraduate education, from 2005, when the first article on EPAs was published, to April 2022. Inclusion criteria were the availability of an EPAs list and a focus on general internal medicine. Two reviewers independently selected the studies, extracted data and performed a quality assessment using QATSDD and AACODS tools. Mean values and inter-rater reliability were calculated.

RESULTS: The review yielded 3292 records, with 16 articles meeting the inclusion criteria, mostly from North America. Synthesising their 16 lists generated 395 EPAs. The reviewers then inductively categoried those EPAs, 308 of which fell into 6 domains, 14 themes and 24 subthemes. The domains were: (1) care and management of the general adult population (n = 103 EPAs); (2) care and management of patients with specific needs (n = 67); (3) care coordination and communication (n = 52); (4) management and leadership (N = 21); (5) healthcare quality, education, and research (n = 41); and (6) miscellaneous (n = 24). The remaining 87 EPAs were disease-specific and did not fit into this categorisation.

CONCLUSIONS: Categorising EPAs created a unique synthesis of the existing lists of EPAs for educating residents in general internal medicine. This synthesis could be used as a reference for anyone tasked with developing new lists of EPAs or improving existing ones.

The Effect of Two Types of Foot Orthoses on the Knee Valgus Angle Within Single-Leg Landing: Implications for ACL Damage Hazard Decrease
Authors: Abbassi Khaboushan Seyed Ali , Khoshraftar Yazdi Nahid , Moein Afshar Zahra
Published: November 2022

Background: Non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries commonly occur when athletes land in high risk positions such as knee valgus. The impact of foot orthoses during exercises that recreate a non-contact ACL harm system (i.e., landing) in any case will be obscured. Objectives: The purpose of the current study research was to evaluate the effect of two foot orthoses (semi-hard foot orthoses and hard foot orthoses) on knee valgus angle during single-leg drop landing. Methods: Twenty male leisure volleyball gamers performed landing in one-leg step from 30 cm height in 3 conditions (without foot orthoses, mid-hard foot orthoses, and hard foot orthoses). A motion capture system was used to measure lower extremity kinematics. Two risk factors of ACL injury, maximum knee valgus angle (KVA), and maximum knee flexion was measured. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis (P < 0.05). Results: With mid-hard foot, orthoses provide the maximum level of knee flexion and the minimum level of knee valgus during single-leg drop landing. Conclusions: It may be concluded showed that foot orthoses affect knee kinematics. More knee flexion and less knee valgus brought about by mid-hard foot orthoses can reduce injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Combination Therapy of Ethanol Ablation and Radiofrequency Ablation to Treat Parathyroid Adenoma in a Case with Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Authors: Lee Kwang Hwi , Jeong Inkyong
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Ethanol ablation (EA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are minimal invasive therapeutic modalities to treat primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Case Presentation: A 77-year-old man presented a 3.5-cm parathyroid adenoma with mixed cystic and solid components. He was ineligible for parathyroidectomy because of his age and the surgical history of the coronary artery bypass graft. First, EA was performed to remove cystic component. After that, the volume of parathyroid adenoma was decreased (volume reduction rate: 94%); however, the level of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) was persistently high (88 pg/mL). Subsequent RFA was performed to remove the remaining parathyroid adenoma. Further, it was completely disappeared on the following ultrasound examination, and PTH was normalized. The results during a 2-year follow-up confirmed clinical success, and no relevant complication was reported. Conclusion: The combination therapy of EA and subsequent RFA is safe and effective as an alternative therapeutic method to treat PHPT in patients ineligible for parathyroidectomy.

Published: November 2022

Background: Treating gastric cancer and antibacterial remains a major challenge. There have been many reports about the positive effects of carvacrol and anti-cancer peptides contributing to cancer inhibition and antibacterial activities. Objectives: This study aimed to determine antibacterial and anti-cancer effects of modified carvacrol against AGS gastric cancer cell line by adopting the flow cytometry technique. Methods: The treatment of cells with modified carvacrol containing anti-cancer peptide was used to evaluate the apoptosis effect against the AGS cell line. The treatment of AGS cells was performed by adopting flow cytometry in order to evaluate the apoptosis. Disc diffusion and MIC methods were used to determine the antibacterial effects. Results: The results showed that cells treated with carvacrol and anti-cancer peptide at a concentration of 0.125 µg/mL induced a 31-fold apoptotic effect. Phosphate buffered saline was used as the control group for the treatment that induced a 63% apoptotic effect on the AGS cell line. The results of antibacterial activity suggested that the modified carvacrol had antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 6 µg/mL, Growth inhibition zone with diameter of 20mm) and Escherichia coli (12 µg/mL, Growth inhibition zone with diameter 16). The results also revealed that the minimum inhibitory concentration of the compound was 6 µg/mL for S. aureus, while this value was 12 µg/mL for E. coli. Conclusions: Since the anti-cancer properties of modified carvacrol mixture with anti-cancer peptide induced 1.25 times more than phosphate-buffered saline, the above combination may have been used to treat and induce apoptotic activity against gastric cancer cell lines.

Published: November 2022

Background: Bacterial biofilm is a major barrier to chronic wound healing. Therefore, the prevention of biofilm formation has an effective role in accelerating the healing of these wounds. Today, probiotics' anti-biofilm and antibacterial activity have been proven, and bacteriotherapy by probiotics is a new strategy for treating chronic ulcer infections. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of L. delbrueckii and L. lactis on biofilms of bacterial agents isolated from these ulcers in the human plasma biofilm model (hpBIOM). Methods: This study examined 82 specimens of chronic ulcer biofilms and identified bacterial isolates using phenotypic and molecular methods. After preparing the hpBIOM, 50 µL of each probiotic (109 CFU/mL) was added in two doses separately and simultaneously. After 24 hours, 1 mL of bromelain (0.1 g/mL) was added to the complex and incubated at 37°C for two hours. Then, the surviving bacterial cells were counted by serial dilutions. Results: Among 119 bacterial isolates, Staphylococcus aureus (19%), Escherichia coli (17.0%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14%) were the most common bacterial isolates. Lactobacillus delbrueckii showed anti-biofilm activity against multiple-drug resistance pathogens, Staphylococcus, P. aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Although L. lactis had anti-biofilm activity against these three pathogens, its effect was less than that of L. delbrueckii. The two probiotics did not have any synergistic effect on the biofilms of the isolates. Conclusions: The results of the present study emphasized the potential of probiotics in destroying biofilms of isolates with multiple-drug resistance; however, their simultaneous use for this purpose requires further investigation.

Published: November 2022

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. Despite substantial efforts that have been made over the last decades, ACS management still remains challenging in most of the regions. Objectives: This study describes the characteristics and trends of outcomes for ACS patients in a decade in north-east of Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, two tertiary academic hospitals of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in Iran were investigated during a 10-year period starting from January 1, 2007. Patients were identified according to their final diagnosis at discharge using the international classification of diseases 10th revision (ICD-10). The ten-year trend of prevalence of ACS was plotted. The outcomes (alive, death) were compared between the two types of myocardial infarction (MI) (ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)/unspecific). Results: During the study period, there were a total of 9068 admissions for acute MI or unstable angina. The mean age of admitted patients was 61.6 ± 13.7 years and the majority (67.8%) was male. The in-hospital mortality rate was 12.3% (927), which was significantly higher in NSTEMI/unspecific AMI compared to STEMI patients (15.3% vs. 9.8%, P < 0.001). Females were significantly older than males (65.7 ± 12.5 vs. 59.6 ± 13.8, P < 0.001) and have higher mortality rates compared to males (16.7 vs. 10.1, P < 0.001). The prevalence rate of all MI categories had an increasing secular trend, though the mortality rate was decreased. Conclusions: Although the prevalence rate of AMI has slightly increased, the mortality rate has decreased. Close cooperation between general practitioners, health providers and cardiologists are of great importance in this field.

Asymptotic Analysis of Peristaltic Hydromagnetic Flow of Carreau Fluid in a Curved Channel
Authors: Khan Muhammad Rehan
Published: November 2022

The boundary layer peristaltic hydromagnetic flow of Carreau fluid in a curved type has been investigated in this article. Carreau fluid model is a generalized Newtonian fluid model having four parameters namely, infinite-shear-rate viscosity (μ∞), zero-shear-rate viscosity (μ0), relaxation time constant (Γ) and power-law index (n). The governing equations of the flow is obtained under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. An asymptotic solution to this problem is obtained when the strength of the applied magnetic field is large. It is observed the that asymptotic solution is independent of Weissenberg number. The asymptotic solution is also validated against numerical solution obtained via finite difference method.

La déconstruction de Macron. Analyse de l’ethos du président de la République dans la conférence de presse prononcée par Jean-Luc Mélenchon le 10 décembre 2018
Authors: Vicente Pérez Javier
Published: December 2022

Partiendo de las investigaciones sobre el ethos realizadas en el ámbito del análisis del discur-so, proponemos en este trabajo un estudio de la rueda de prensa ofrecida por Jean-Luc Mélen-chon, el 10 de diciembre de 2018, en respuesta a la declaración televisada dirigida a la Nación, ese mismo día, por el presidente de la Repúbli-ca, Emmanuel Macron, con motivo de la crisis de los “chalecos amarillos”. En dicha respuesta, el líder de La France insoumise ofrece la opi-nión de su grupo parlamentario a propósito de las palabras pronunciadas por Macron, pero también intenta neutralizar la imagen positiva que el presidente ha querido crear de sí mis-mo en su alocución. En este trabajo realizamos un análisis de la labor discursiva que Mélen-chon lleva a cabo, a partir del ethos previo de Macron, en su intento por producir un efecto negativo en la imagen de líder político de su adversario

En nous basant sur les recherches qui abordent le concept d’ethos dans le cadre de l'analyse du discours, nous proposons une étude de la conférence de presse prononcée par Jean-Luc Mélenchon le 10 décembre 2018, en réponse à la déclaration télévisée adressée le même jour à la Nation par le président de la République, Emmanuel Macron, suite à la crise des “gilets jaunes”. Si dans cette réponse le leader de La France Insoumise offre l’opinion de son groupe parlementaire sur les paroles prononcées par Macron, il essaie surtout de neutraliser l’image positive que le président avait voulu créer de lui-même dans son allocution. À partir de l’ethos préalable de Macron, nous réalisons une analyse du travail discursif effectué par Mélenchon, qui produit un effet négatif sur l’image de leader politique de son adversaire.
La publicité des multinationales: une communication transfrontalière et transculturelle
Authors: García Martínez Aurora María
Published: December 2022

Hoy en día, la globalización es una realidad pla-netaria de la que no podemos escapar. En este contexto, las empresas multinacionales deben reinventarse constantemente para sobrevivir y darse a conocer al mayor número de personas. Para ello, recurren a la publicidad, que les dará una identidad única, con el objetivo de dirigirse a los consumidores potenciales y aumentar así sus ventas. Aquí es donde entran en juego la transferencia de marca y la política de marketing.El objetivo de este artículo será determinar, a través de ejemplos de mensajes publicitarios de empresas multinacionales, si, más allá de las fronteras políticas, socioculturales e inclu-so lingüísticas de la zona francófona, los esló-ganes en francés son estándar o simples traduc-ciones literales, o si, por el contrario, se adaptan utilizando una transferencia de identificación de la marca a las culturas de destino.

El objetivo de este artículo será determinar, a través de ejemplos de mensajes publicitarios de empresas multinacionales, si, más allá de las fronteras políticas, socioculturales e incluso lingüísticas de la zona francófona, los eslóganes en francés son estándar o simples traducciones literales, o si, por el contrario, se adaptan utilizando una transferencia de identificación de la marca a las culturas de destino.

Lo que está en juego es, por supuesto, económico (la relación entre la inversión en publicidad y los beneficios en términos de conocimiento del producto y de ventas), pero también, desde una perspectiva transfronteriza, sociocultural (respeto de la diversidad) y posiblemente sociolingüística (teniendo en cuenta las variedades del francés).
