Background: According to WHO, an elderly person is someone who has reached the age of 60 to 65 years and over. The development of the number of elderly people in Indonesia in 2020 reached 9.93 percent. The incidence of dementia generally increases with age. Dementia is a syndrome that characterized by a progressive and persistent decline in cognitive function. In the condition of dementia, there is a decrease in the independence and dependence of the elderly on the productive population, one of which is the family.

Objective: This study aims to describe the knowledge of elderly families about dementia in Wonokerto Village, Turi Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta.

Methods: The subjects of this study were elderly families who cared for and lived at home with the elderly in Wonokerto The research was conducted using a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. Data was collected by means of in-depth interviews. The sample was taken by purposive sampling with a total of ten research subjects. The interview transcript was analyzed using the thematic framework.

Results: Three research subjects with the latest high school education and experience caring for the elderly more than ten years were able to answer questions about dementia knowledge well. The remaining seven research subjects did not know the knowledge related to dementia or answered undecided.

Conclusion: The results showed that most of the research subjects still do not understand about dementia knowledge such as the definition, types, examination, and management of dementia. While most research subjects have sufficient knowledge related to elderly support, how to care for the elderly with dementia.

Published: August 2022

Tonsillitis which is commonly referred to a strep throat is caused by group A β-hemolytic streptococci (GABHS) or Streptococcus pyogenes. The bacteria is consider as one of the major human-specific bacterial pathogen and one of its virulence factors is the streptokinase; for this reason, 100 tonsillitis swabs were taken from Iraqi children suffering from symptoms of sore throat. Using conventional cultural methods, 60 bacterial isolates were characterized and subjected to biochemical tests. As a result, 40 isolates were identified as hemolytic bacteria and only 6 of them were identified as Streptococcus. pyogens using Bacitracin (0.04) and Vitek 2 system. The ability of the 6 isolates for streptokinase production was screened and the results showed that all of them were produce the enzyme with variable degrees. Molecular detection of streptokinase gene using real time PCR technique has been done with specific primers and the amplification results were present with all S.pyogens strains.
A Novel approach to Enhance Gastric Retention for better Therapeutic Activity: Gastro Retentive Drug Delivery System
Authors: Rajmane Archana , Trivedi Rahul , Nandgude Tanaji
Published: August 2022

Oral route has been the most suitable and accepted route of drug delivery. But oral control release dosage forms face several physiological restrictions like inability to retain and locate the controlled drug delivery system within the targeted region of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) due to fluctuation in gastric emptying. This results in non-uniform absorption pattern, inadequate medication release and shorter residence time of the dosage form in the stomach. Gastro retentive drug delivery system (GRDDS) is novel drug delivery systems which are more advantages due to its ability of prolonged retaining ability in the stomach and thereby increase gastric residence time of drugs and also increase bioavailability of drugs. This present review covers the advantages, disadvantages, factors affecting on GRDDS, Recent approaches, floating and non-floating drug delivery system and also highlights the other effective approaches who increases gastric residence time of drug such as bio-adhesive systems, floating systems (low density systems), non-floating systems (high density systems) , floating muco-adhesive drug delivery system, magnetic systems, swelling systems, un-foldable and expandable systems, raft forming systems and super porous systems, biodegradable hydro-gel systems. Marketed preparation and some patents of gastro-retentive drug delivery system, excipient used in formulation of GRDDS, recent work done on GRDDS.

Published: August 2022

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is widely used in skin care products, yet it is a challenging compound due to its physical and chemical instability. Several strategies have been applied to improve the stability of vitamin C, such as the addition of other antioxidants in the system (e.g., Vitamin E, ferulic acid, and sodium metabisulfite). In addition, clay minerals have been used in cosmetic preparations due to their high ion-exchange capacity, thermal stability, softness, the small size of their particles, and their attractive adsorptive properties. In this study, we proposed the association of kaolin clay and well-known antioxidants and chelators to improve the stability of vitamin C. Although the kaolin clay alone did not improve the stability of the vitamin C, the clay mineral in association with certain chelators and/or antioxidants could improve the stability of formulations containing vitamin C.

Authors: K. Nunse Diksha , N. Jadhav Rohini , S. Deshmukh Amol
Published: August 2022

Creams are a type of pharmaceutical product used for daily skin care, as well as medicated and non-medicated applications. It is also regarded as a vital component of cosmetics. When the dosage form is creams, the route of delivery is the skin. The rate of medication absorption and penetration is influenced by a variety of factors in the skin. The topical medication delivery system is a method of delivering drugs to the skin. Topical medication administration has the advantage of bypassing first-pass metabolism, hydrating the skin, and providing emollient qualities. Creams are viscous or semisolid emulsions that come in O/W or W/O dosage forms and have a viscosity that changes depending on the quantities of oil and water in them. In terms of functions and qualities, there is a vast range of creams available. Pharmaceutical creams are used for a range of purposes, including cleansing, beautifying, hydrating, and protecting against bacteria and fungi, as well as treating skin wounds. Water, fats, waxes, emollients, colors, scents, and other common ingredients are employed in the creation of practically every cream, resulting in a standard formulation. There are various evaluation parameters available for creams which help the product to match its standard quality eg. pH, viscosity, stability, spreadability, etc.

A 59-year old male patient with no past medical history presented to the emergency department with fever and impaired oxygenation after spending holidays in the Austrian Alps before the country was declared high-risk for COVID-19 infections. Due to clinical deterioration, admission to ICU was necessary for non-invasive ventilation (NIV), as shown in Figure 1. This therapy was sustained for five days while the attachment of the mask had to be tightened up repeatedly due to unintentional leakage compromising effective ventilation. As a result, the patient presented a circumscribed necrosis of about 20 X 15 mm at the dorsum of the nose (Figure 2). The zone of necrosis was clearly related to the tightly fastened bridge of the mask causing ischemia. However, this condition went unnoticed since the patient did not complain about pain on this site while ventilation therapy. As the presence of COVID-19 was confirmed by rRT-PCR and infectiousness was still highly suspected, surgical therapy (debridement and wound closure with a local flap) was postponed.

Ganglioneuromas (GN) are benign and well-differentiated tumors originated from the sympathetic chain of the neural crest. They can affect any part of the body along the autonomic ganglia, however the two most common sites of presentation are in the retroperitoneal space (32-52%) and posterior mediastinum (39-43%), followed by the cervical region (8-9%) [6]. They are most common in children and young adults, but can occur at any age. They have a greater predilection for females (3:1). They are usually asymptomatic and when present, clinical manifestations are symptoms of compression (epigastric pain, abdominal pain). Most adrenal ganglioneuromas do not have endocrine production, but up to 30% of tumors can secrete testosterone or catecholamines.

Diarrhoea due to intestinal parasites and bacteria are prevalent in individuals belonging to the lower socio-economic strata. Infectious intestinal diseases are often self-limiting. They are usually treated without proper diagnosis or information about the etiology. Important bacteria causing diarrhoea are diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli, Shigella spp, Salmonella spp, and Vibrio cholerae. The common enteric parasites like Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Ascaris lumbricoides, Ancylostoma duodenale, Trichuris trichiura, Enterobius vermicularis, Hymenolepis nana and Strongyloides stercoralis are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality in the extremes of age. As these parasitic infections are often overlooked, the identification of these pathogenic organisms is of great importance for proper treatment and institution of control measures.Improving the quality of the water, sanitation, and overall hygiene can help prevent diarrhoeal diseases. The accurate diagnosis of the causative agents, an institution of proper treatment and regular monitoring of antimicrobial resistance profiles will help in preventing the spread of multidrug-resistant strains in the community.

Prevalence and Role Stressors as Antecedents to Workplace Bullying in Multinational Corporations Human Resource Shared Service Centers in Malaysia
Authors: Samanthar Santhosh K ST , Omar Zoharah , Idris Khairuddin , Ahmad Aminah
Published: August 2022

Workplace bullying has shown a steep rise globally in the last three decades, reporting its pervasiveness among various sectors and industries. It is universally recognized as a significant work stressor causing severe health, well-being, and psychosocial problems for employees, the economy, and society. The claim comes as no surprise with the contemporary debate among organizations, especially MNCs HRSSC, striving to succeed globally and stay competitive through cost savings and increased productivity. However, SSC formation has swayed the HRD professions’ to strategic HR roles to focus on the organization’s profit-making goal, eventually at the expense of employees’ well-being by indirectly condoning workplace bullying. For these reasons, the present study investigates the prevalence of workplace bullying at MNC HRSSC in Malaysia to find out how the Western countries that pioneered the studies reveal the severity of workplace bullying manages organizations in Asian countries that are still at the early stage comparatively of recognizing the phenomenon. The study will examine the prevalence, the experience level of role stressors, namely role ambiguity and role conflict, which are relatable to the MNC HRSSC setup, and their consequent representation as antecedents to workplace bullying. A cross-sectional study was adopted to conduct descriptive and inferential statistical analysis with n=460. The descriptive statistical analysis used IBM SPSS (v24.0) to determine the prevalence of workplace bullying by adopting a two-step cluster analysis and the strict operational definition criterion and the role stressors experiences level. At the same time, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to determine the correlation and influence between the predetermined organizational antecedents (role ambiguity and role conflict) and workplace bullying. Data were collected using a 14-items Role Questionnaire (RQ) and 22-item Negative Act Questionnaires-Revised (22-items NAQ-R). Findings show a high prevalence rate of workplace bullying (66.7%), a high level of role ambiguity (72.6%), and role conflict (70.2%), resulting in a positive & significant relationship with workplace bullying. Thus, these results autonomously conclude that workplace bullying is prevalent among MNC HRSSC with a high level of role ambiguity and role conflict experience, which are significant antecedents based on the General Strain Theory (Agnew, 1992) underpinning theory. Therefore, the study recommends that local HRD professionals and policymakers review employees’ job descriptions to determine one’s role and set KPI accordingly. Global Business Services representing the MNC and the local HRSSC management team must develop and implement robust anti-bullying policies and programs and sustain them in practice to curtail the negative consequences.
Noradrenergic modulation of Dex-ketoprofen analgesia in preclinical orofacial pain
Authors: Hugo F Miranda  , Viviana Noriega  , Francisca Moreno  , Fernando Sierralta  , Ramón Sotomayor-Zárate  , Juan Carlos Prieto
Published: August 2022

Dexketoprofen (DEX) is the dextrorotatory enantiomer of S (+) configuration with a high antinociceptive activity of ketoprofen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacological interaction of DEX with the noradrenergic antagonist's prazosin, yohimbine, propranolol and atenolol in the formalin orofacial pain in mice. Analgesia to nociceptive and inflammatory pain was evaluated by dose response curves to DEX before and after the i.p. administration of 1.0 mg/kg of prazosin, or yohimbine, or propranolol or atenolol. Results are presented as means ± SEM and differences were calculated by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post-test. DEX produced a dose-related antinociceptive effect with varying potencies in both trial phases, with prazosin and yohimbine increasing the efficacy of DEX and propranolol and atenolol having no effect. These findings suggests that the increased efficacy of DEX cannot be explained by only inhibition of COXs, since it may be a consequence of multiple pharmacodynamic interactions induced by the activation of a-adrenoceptors in the opioidergic, cannabinoid, nitrergic or serotonergic mechanisms involved in pain. These results indicate that the combination of DEX with prazosin or yohimbine could be a new and effective alternative for the management of pain.

Published: August 2022

Na infecção pela COVID-19, uma tempestade de inflamação somada a uma doença crônica não transmissível pré-existente tende a agravar o quadro. No contexto atual, a busca por alimentos com propriedades antioxidantes é vital, enaltecendo a fama dos shots antioxidantes. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi elaborar e analisar a quantidade de compostos fenólicos e a atividade antioxidante de algumas formulações populares. Para o estudo foram escolhidas as própolis aquosa e alcoólica, o gengibre e a cúrcuma.  Foram elaborados e comparados 16 extratos de bebidas mistas contendo diferentes concentrações dos compostos. Para a determinação das quantidades de compostos fenólicos e atividade antioxidante foram utilizados, respectivamente, os métodos Folin-Ciocalteu e de captura do radical ABTS. Constatou-se que foram necessárias baixas concentrações dos quatro alimentos estudados para maior quantidade de compostos fenólicos; e altas concentrações de cúrcuma e gengibre para um maior efeito antioxidante, havendo apenas diferença em relação às quantidades de própolis aquosa e alcoólica. Dessa forma, esses quatro alimentos são alternativas pertinentes para a prevenção/diminuição dos efeitos causados pela doença.

What I want my Neighbors to Know about my Mental Illness
Authors: J Jepson
Published: August 2022

I live in an apartment complex in a busy part of my town. From my second-floor balcony, I can see my neighbors coming and going from their jobs, appointments, and other activities. I don't really know any of my neighbors on a personal level. I live a rather isolated life except for occasional visits from my family. So, my interactions with my neighbors consist of a polite "Hello, how are you?" or "Have a nice day," exchanges. I sometimes wonder how they would react towards me if they knew I have a diagnosed severe mental illness.

Breastfeeding and Gestational Diabetes: Overview in México
Authors: Aguilar Uscanga Blanca Rosa
Published: August 2022

Gestational diabetes mellitus is defined as glucose intolerance first detected during pregnancy. Maternal obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus have been associated with more difficulties in the establishment and duration of breastfeeding among mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus who have a body mass index above their healthy, normal weight counterparts; plus the large number of social and economic factors that prevent the establishment of satisfactory breastfeeding, makes it essential to provide systematic support, especially in the first days of life, remembering that breastfeeding in turn reduces the risk of diabetes in women. Mexico is a middle-high income Latin American country; studies conducted in metropolitan areas with larger populations indicate that exclusive breastfeeding is often initiated, but it is difficult to continue it; together with the increase in the prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus in the population, it is of great importance to integrate maternal and child nutrition policies focused on the prevention of obesity and chronic diseases, as well as practices that contribute to the promotion and support to mothers to achieve successful breastfeeding, at least during the first 6 months of life.
Hypoglycemia in Non-Diabetic Patient: Report of Two Cases of Insulinoma
Authors: Calvo Christian Pérez
Published: August 2022

Background: Insulinoma is a B-cell tumor of the islets of the pancreas with an incidence of 4 per 1 million people per year, which produces excess insulin and can cause symptoms related to hypoglycemia at the level of the central nervous system or symptoms related to excess release of compensatory catecholamines. The presence of hypoglycemia, elevated insulin, proinsulin, and c-peptide levels suggest endogenous hyperinsulinism, which together with imaging findings suggestive of neuroendocrine tumor, allow establishing the diagnostic impression of Insulinoma. Cases report: Patients with neuroglycopenic symptoms, biochemical profile of hypoglycemia, endogenous hyperinsulinemia and radiological finding compatible with insulinoma are reported, who were treated by surgical resection of the tumor, with complete resolution of the initial symptoms. Conclusion: The clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of insulinoma represents a clinical challenge, since it is a rare pathology and the delay in diagnosis can have catastrophic consequences for the patient, stories such as permanent brain damage and death.

Published: August 2022

Stray dogs destined for euthanasia were collected from January 2010 through December 2010 to determine the presence of zoonotic gastrointestinal (GI) helminths in Lusaka district. A total of 33 stray dogs (male=18, female=15) were collected, euthanized and necropsy information obtained via helminthological approach. About 100% (33/33) were infected with one or more helminth parasites. Multiple infections involving nematodes and cestodes were the most prevalent (63.6%) followed by nematodes only (33.3%) with cestodes only being the least prevalent (3.0%). The most prevalent GI helminth parasite was Ancylostoma caninum (93.9%) with the least prevalent being Toxocara canis (6.1%). No positive case of Trichinella spiralis was reported from direct trichinoscopy examination of striated muscles. The mean count per dog of A. caninum was 44.45 (SD ±58.0) with a range of 0 to 223. The presence of three important zoonotic gastrointestinal helminths (A. caninum, T. canis and Dipylidium caninum) reported in this study underscores the importance of controlling helminthosis in stray dogs and stresses the need to establish a national control programme for parasitic diseases in this dog population. This can be achieved through the vigorous implementation of the laws governing control of stray dogs and regular deworming of owned dogs. Controlling zoonotic helminths in dogs will ensure a minimal public health risk from the dog population in Zambia since they act as a source of infection to other dogs as well as humans

Population of the study was 44,919 undergraduates at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria from which a sample of 386 was drawn for the quantitative aspect and fifteen informants for the qualitative aspect. The quantitative data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences 21 version while responses of informants were recorded and transcribed by the researchers. Findings showed that undergraduates, who are active users of social media perceived messages the electoral body posted as untrustworthy. In addition, the body lacked visibility on social media. The study concluded that INEC's use of social media for citizens' engagement was in response to the demand of the contemporary society which social media cannot be ignored. The study recommended the need for INEC to be more aggressive in social media use as well as build public trust through prompt responses to issues and allegations.

Published: August 2022

Retirement is a normal and ubiquitous phenomenon in the world of work. Every worker must retire owing to the fact that retirement is inevitable and no individual can work for eternity due to senescence. However, retirement comes with adjustment and adaptation in relation to different professions and skills or vocations. This study adopted a survey research method; using accidental and snowballing sampling technique with key informant interview (KII) and focus group discussion (FGD) as research instruments. The analysis was done using a qualitative method of content analysis to present the peculiarity of retirement adjustment among selected retired military officers in Nigeria. From the analysis, the adjustment is divided into two namely: social and economy retirement. The social adjustment includes changes in lifestyle in general. It includes but is not limited to changes in the living environment that warrants adapting to the lack of appropriate space to exercise and other recreational facilities such as visit to Officers’ Mess and complying with community security instructions amongst others. Economy retirement adjustment is characterised by less income, gratuity (less than salary) and increased spending owing to the need to budget for payment of bills such as security, electricity, transportation and even accommodation in some instances. Meanwhile, officers become more frugal and thus, have to reduce financial commitment to family and friends resulting from less income. Financial adjustment has been found to affect social adjustment as finance is a major factor that determines social involvement, especially in relation to financial commitment to family and friends. Recommendations such as the need for retirement education and training of officers in choiced occupation before and after retirement becomes imperative among others.

Published: August 2022

Among internet content produced by internet users, are memes. Facebook and WhatsApp have become an integral part of society in this age of social media where the young generation and older adults engage in social interaction. These memes, sometimes, carry wrong perceptions and messages that can create false consciousness among the people. The notion of gender is culturally and socially constructed. Social media sites have reinforced the concept of gender stereotyping through its content. These sites are invisibly controlling people’s lives by transferring the stereotyped ideology. Stereotypes have been a central theme in memes on social media. Some Facebook and WhatsApp memes are portraying women in the way gender roles have been represented. The study adopted a disparagement or superiority theory and social constructionism theory to examine the content of Zambian memes. Data for this article was drawn from general scanning of Facebook and WhatsApp. This study analyses how women are portrayed in Zambian memes on social media, particularly Facebook and WhatsApp. In this regard, this study used purposive sampling and selected 100 Facebook and WhatsApp memes as samples but only thirty were analysed in this study. Using thematic analysis of the sample, the representations of women in the Zambian memes sampled exhibited negative constructions of women and womanhood. Further, the findings showed that the language used in Zambian memes not only imparts joy and laughter, but also some statements that convey hatred, sarcasm, viciousness, and vulgarity to women
