Assessment of the Heart's Left and Right Ventricles (EF and TAPSE) in
CABG Surgery Patients before and after Cardiac Rehabilitation
Authors: Zahedi Mahdi , Safi Fahime
Published: November 2023

Background:

Post-coronary artery bypass grafting (post-CABG) is a beneficial procedure
for cardiac patients. However, without an appropriate cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program,
patient care may be inadequate, leading to recurrent hospitalizations and heart failure. This
study aims to assess the effects of a CR program on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and
tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) measures in post-CABG patients at Amir-almomenin,
kordkuy Hospital, Golestan, Iran.

Methods:

This descriptive-analytic study included 100 patients who underwent post-CABG surgery
in the second half of 2020, and whose complete information was available in their medical
files. An echocardiologist assessed the LVEF and TAPSE of the patients. After one month of CR
procedures, these measures were reevaluated and recorded. The CR program consisted of 5 to 10
sessions of physiotherapy per patient, with 2 or 3 sessions conducted per week. It involved a
four-phase therapy that included light sports activities such as running and jogging on a treadmill
at a CR clinic. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 18.

Results:

The data analysis of this study suggests that implementing a CR program for post-
CABG patients can have beneficial effects. CR significantly increased the patients' LVEF, but
the increase in TAPSE was not statistically significant. Furthermore, both male and female patients
showed improved LVEF after the CR program. There was a non-significant inverse relationship
between hospitalization duration and LVEF. Statistically, older patients had a significantly
longer duration of hospitalization compared to younger patients.

Conclusion:

Completion of a cardiac rehabilitation program leads to significant improvement in
left ventricular function, while the improvement in right ventricular function is relatively modest.
Moreover, a significant proportion of patients were able to resume their normal daily activities
after completing the rehabilitation phase.
Does Circumplast Ring Offer Safe Alternative to Standard Plastibell Ring for Infant Male Circumcision?
Authors: Moazzam Muhammad , Khwaja Aibak
Published: November 2023

Purpose:

This study evaluated the early postoperative complications in Circumplast® and Plastibell® techniques for infant male circumcision in two community clinics.

Materials and Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of infant male circumcision (n=649) over 1 year (Jan 2021 to Feb 2022) performed under local anaesthesia by a single urologist. The technique was non-randomly selected. Data were collected retrospectively, and early postoperative complications were compared between Circumplast® and Plastibell® circumcisions. Both parents consented to the procedure. The 24-telephone support and follow-up were provided if required.

Results:

All records of infants were reviewed with Circumplast® circumcision (CC) n=302 and Plastibell® circumcision (PC) n=347 during this period. The mean age was 52.33 +/- 44.16 days in CC and 38.64 ± SD 30.39 days in PC. Three infants were excluded. There was no major complication and minor complications were lower in CC (0.99% n=3/302) versus PC (2.9% n=10/347). Delayed ring separation happened in PC (2.3% n=8/347), which was separated by a bone cutter in the clinic and no ring impaction occurred in CC. One infant in CC had bleeding after 24 hours, which was managed by removal of the ring and revision of circumcision. Two infants required separation of coronal adhesions in CC and two required revisions of circumcision in PC.

Discussion:

This is the first study to report the results of early experience involving the use of Circumplast® ring to perform pediatric circumcision. Our findings reflect the use of this device as a safe alternative to Plastibell®. A randomised controlled trial (RCT) would be required to document the relative superiority of either device. The reduced number of ring impactions among CC may be attributed to its unique design.

Conclusion:

Infant male circumcision by the Circumplast® device has a lower risk of early postoperative minor complications especially migration/impaction and may offer a safe alternative.

Published: November 2023

Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are unique proteins expressed on the surface of human cells, playing a pivotal role in the immune system, particularly in the contexts of infection, cancer, and transplantation. The widespread adoption of HLA typing methods has become an essential component in assessing donor-recipient compatibility, a crucial limiting factor in solid organ transplantation. In general, the greater the disparity between a donor's and recipient's HLA types, the higher the likelihood of provoking an alloimmune response, which frequently results in alloimmune graft rejection. With significant advancements in organ transplantation techniques, immunosuppressive medications, and surgical procedures, attention has increasingly turned toward understanding and managing humoral rejection processes. Pre-transplant antibody screening plays a critical role in identifying individuals with elevated levels of antibodies against potential donor antigens. This screening aids in risk assessment and planning to mitigate the risk of antibody-mediated rejection (AbMR). Several methods are available for assessing circulating antigen-specific antibodies and HLA tissue typing, including cell-based assays like serological assays, complement-dependent cytotoxicity, and flow cytometry. However, non-cell-based approaches, such as molecular methods, HLA imputation techniques and high-throughput HLA-matchmaker assays have gained significant popularity due to their ability to provide higher resolution and robust donor-recipient matching. Despite the advancements in precision and sensitivity observed in HLA cutting-edge technologies, numerous challenges still persist. These challenges involve complexities linked to allelic ambiguities, the differentiation of closely related alleles, and the ongoing effort to establish a standardized HLA testing methodology across diverse laboratories. Additionally, correlating the HLA crossmatch results with the clinical outcomes for transplant donors poses another important aspect that warrants attention and requires expert analysis. In this review, we will enumerate the different methods of HLA typing and DSA screening and discuss the unmet needs and future directions for HLA typing methods.

Authors: Mao Zhendong , Musah Adiza Alhassan , Li Chaoyang , Huang Dan
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

In online health communities (OHCs), physicians’ prosocial behavior can bring numerous benefits to both platforms and patients. By sharing health articles and videos, providing free live diagnoses, physicians can contribute to improved health outcomes, enhanced trust, and the prosperity of OHCs. However, few studies have been conducted to examine the impact of prosocial behavior on consultation volume in the OHC field.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the influence of physicians' prosocial behavior on consultation volume in OHCs. Additionally, the authors are interested in exploring the role of physicians' online popularity in the relationship between prosocial behavior and online consultation volume.

METHODS

Guided by information asymmetry theory, signaling theory and reciprocity theory, this study developed hypotheses and an econometric model. Subsequently, a fixed-effect regression was employed to test these hypotheses using panel data comprising 1,015 hepatitis B physicians from Haodf.com, a prominent OHC in China.

RESULTS

This study found that both the quantity and quality of physicians’ prosocial behavior had a positive impact on consultation volume (β=.075, P<.001; β=.124, P<.001). Furthermore, the quantity and quality of prosocial behavior also positively influenced physicians’ online popularity (β=.083, P<.001; β=.148, P<.001). When physicians’ online popularity was included in the model, the quantity and quality of prosocial behavior, as well as online popularity, all showed positive and significant effects (β=.032, P=.001; β=.034, P=.02; β=.555, P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Physicians’ prosocial behavior has a positive impact on consultation volume, and this effect is partially mediated by their online popularity. These findings are applicable to chronic physicians, regardless of the severity of the disease. This paper is the first to elaborate how physicians’ prosocial behavior affects consultation volume from the perspective of fan interaction.

Authors: Puteri Aisha Maura
Published: November 2023

This article analyzes the normativity of the black race in rap music and how it affected Asian American and White American MCs in Rap Battle (specifically Jin the MC, Dumbfoundead, and Eminem), the importance of rap battle in connection between race and rap, and how rap battle’s connection with race and rap contributed to Jin the MC, Dumbfoundead, and Eminem’s success factors as they tackled racist attacks from their rap battle opponents. The corpus of the study is a documentary about Asian American’s struggle in the hip-hop industry called Bad Rap (2016), as well as Eminem’s revised-autobiography film 8 Mile (2002). The study uses De La Garza and Ono’s CRT (2016) tenets and Edgar and Sedwick’s New Criticism (1999) to discover the importance of Rap Battle in the connection between race and rap as well as the ways that black-originated music affected the nonblack MCs mentioned; specifically, in their performance characteristics, strategies to battle racist attacks from the opponents, as well as their recognition and career development in the industry. Following that, the researcher discussed a gap within racial and sociocultural aspects of black normativity in rap and how it contributed to the ‘success factors’ of these mentioned artists, while racist attacks played a strong role from Black American opponents.
ESPOUSING ABORTION RIGHTS: A CASE STUDY ON THE SATANIC TEMPLE
Authors: Tasin Lydian Florina , Munjid Achmad , Adhitya Galant Nanta
Published: November 2023

This study examines how a nontheistic organization called The Satanic Temple (TST) fights for religious freedom for its members, particularly in abortion rights in the US. Ronald Inglehart’s secularization framework is employed to conduct a more in-depth analysis of this group’s efforts to voice religious freedom for its members, particularly on the abortion issue. Therefore, this study also provides an in-depth examination of TST’s strategies regarding the abortion issue. The finding shows that TST has far-reaching implications not only for their efforts against the new abortion law but also for the group’s presence amidst the religious majority environment of the US. Furthermore, another finding also reveals that TST’s efforts in legal proceedings have yet to be treated fairly. TST has a strong legal argument because TST members interpret their fundamental tenets and have an abortion ritual. However, solid legal opinions are not always sufficient. In response to legal challenges, judges have shown reluctance to evaluate Satanist claims on their merits, preferring to invent procedural criticisms. The ruling did not hinder TST as much as it prevented the problem.

Durability Study of Self Compacting Concrete Containing Fly Ash, Lime Stone and Sugarcane Bagasse
Authors: A Gokul , P Andavar
Published: November 2023

Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a unique kind of concrete that can flow and fill form work or moulds under its weight without the aid of vibration or mechanical compaction. SCC is accomplished using a specifically formulated mix that contains high-range water-reducing admixtures (super-plasticizers) and viscosity-modifying agents. Excellent workability, great flowability, and the capacity to pass through densely packed reinforcement without segregation are just a few of SCC's special qualities. SCC has many advantages, including increased construction efficiency, lower labor costs, improved durability, and better surface polish. The present study focuses on the durability properties of concrete mixes, which were designed using control, binary, and ternary cementitious systems. In the environment, wastes such as Fly Ash (FA), limestone (LS), and agroindustrial waste such as sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) are used as partial replacements for cement.

Authors: Patel Rutvij
Published: November 2023

The process of creating a structure involves many steps, and the building materials are a crucial one. When building a structure, it is important to understand the properties of both man-made and natural elements. When it comes to the specifics of the materials used in the building business, caution must be taken. It is imperative to acknowledge the existence of a physical material mechanism. The material's costs for the economy, environment, energy, and society have all been examined in this document. This document discusses materials that are natural, artificial, or living. This document also covers the materials that impact the building's strength and quality.

O tema das altas habilidades/superdotação e as pessoas que apresentam esse comportamento são há algum tempo objeto de mitos e discussões que fazem do tema um tabu e que inviabilizam essas pessoas. O presente trabalho trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo narrativa, cujo texto tem por objetivo expor as características apresentadas por crianças e adolescentes portadoras de AH/SD que podem ser percebidas pela enfermagem tanto no contexto escolar quanto nas consultas. Define-se ainda o conceito de AH/SD desconstruindo o mito da genialidade e apresenta a importância da atuação da enfermeira e da Educação Especial nesse contexto. Apesar da lacuna existente no processo de reconhecimento de crianças e adolescentes que apresentam AH/SD, é possível concluir que a enfermeira e o enfermeiro têm em sua formação e atribuição profissional, a competência de atuar e identificar alterações no desenvolvimento que necessitem de referenciamento para profissionais habilitados a fim de realizar um diagnóstico precoce e implementação de ações em tempo oportuno.

Introdução: A Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica, conhecida por Doença de Charcot ou Doença de Lou-Gehrig, é uma patologia de caráter neurodegenerativa, culminando na perda irreversível de neurônios motores na medula espinhal, resultando em atrofia muscular. O tratamento multidisciplinar e os cuidados paliativos podem prolongar a sobrevida do paciente com ELA e/ou manter os aspectos de qualidade de vida. Objetivo: identificar e sintetizar as pesquisas que versam sobre os Cuidados Paliativos na Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA). Método: Revisão integrativa, com a seguinte questão de pesquisa: “Quais são os Cuidados Paliativos prestados na Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica?” A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE E BDENF, no período de 2017 a setembro de 2022, com os descritores DeCS/MeSH Cuidados Paliativos e Esclerose Amiotrófica Lateral. Resultados: Foram identificados 115 artigos e, após os critérios de exclusão, foram utilizados 6 artigos para a pesquisa. Os artigos foram divididos em três classes temáticas: Desafios dos pacientes, familiares, equipe e cuidadores com a ELA; Medicina paliativa, tecnologia assistiva, tratamento e prescrição de cuidados paliativos (PCP) e; Planejamento, acompanhamento e apoio aos pacientes e cuidadores. Conclusão: Evidenciou-se que os cuidados paliativos auxiliam e proporcionam qualidade de vida ao paciente com ELA. Cuidados como ventilação não-invasiva (VNI), tecnologia e terapia assistiva, escuta ativa, cuidados com a higiene e alimentação entre outros são essenciais. Por se tratar de uma doença fatal e ainda carente de estudos que apontem possibilidades de melhora, surge a necessidade de cuidados paliativos para proporcionar alívio aos pacientes acometidos por tal enfermidade.

O treinamento de força é uma atividade física que envolve o uso de resistência para fortalecer os músculos. É importante entender se os pais estão cientes dos benefícios e da segurança do treinamento de força. Com isso, o objetivo do estudo é avaliar o nível de conhecimento de pais sobre o treinamento de força para jovens de 10 a 15 anos. Para conduzir a pesquisa, foi aplicado um questionário online para os pais (n = 151) com tópicos sobre o perfil dos pais e dos filhos, em conjunto com questões avaliativas sobre o treinamento de força para jovens. A pesquisa mostrou uma média de 79,12 ± 17,12% de acertos dos pais em relação às questões abordadas. Com base nos resultados, indica-se um bom nível de conhecimento dos pais, sendo que alguns pontos carecem de maior elucidação. Sugere-se novos estudos para a averiguação do conhecimento dos pais e pessoas responsáveis pelos jovens.

O reconhecimento e a compreensão das vulnerabilidades enfrentadas pelas gestantes são essenciais para o cuidado e intervenção efetivos. Nessa perspectiva, este estudo tem como objetivo mapear as vulnerabilidades em saúde identificadas em gestantes acometidas pela Covid-19. Para responder a esse objetivo, foi realizado um estudo de revisão de escopo. A coleta foi realizada no período de outubro de 2022 a fevereiro de 2023. Os critérios de inclusão e exclusão dos estudos foram estabelecidos de acordo com a seguinte pergunta: Quais as vulnerabilidades em saúde identificadas em gestantes acometidas pela covid-19? A busca foi realizada em cinco bases de dados e um repositório eletrônico. Foi realizada leitura de título e resumo, seguida da leitura na íntegra. Foram incluídos 29 estudos, a maioria dos quais publicados nos EUA. As principais vulnerabilidades identificadas nos estudos avaliados foram as raciais e socioeconômicas, sendo associadas ao conceito de Vulnerabilidade em Saúde de Florêncio sujeito-social, onde predominaram situação física (sujeito) e Situação socioeconômica (social) respectivamente.

A cicatrização de feridas complexas requer o uso de técnicas especializadas, havendo as práticas de ozonioterapia e laserterapia como possibilidades de tratamento, utilizadas em associação ou isoladamente. No entanto, não existem evidências robustas acerca de qual técnica seria mais eficaz para este fim. Trata-se de estudo piloto realizado em um hospital escola público na região sul do Brasil, entre março de 2021 e fevereiro de 2022. O recrutamento dos participantes foi por meio de encaminhamento da equipe de cirurgia plástica, que culminou em 29 pacientes separados em três grupos: grupo controle, experimental laser e experimental ozônio. Coletaram-se dados clínicos e de prontuário, realizado aplicação de escala numérica de dor, registros fotográficos e mensuração das feridas. Os resultados destacam características dos pacientes com idade média de 50 anos, sexo masculino e lesões causadas majoritariamente por queimaduras de 2º grau. No grupo controle houve redução de 10% no cálculo da área das lesões; enquanto que nos grupos experimentais, com laserterapia e ozonioterapia, as reduções foram de 50% e 85% respectivamente. Em relação à dor, o controle mais efetivo foi no grupo experimental de ozonioterapia. Concluiu-se que o estudo é viável e exequível para desenvolvimento de um ensaio clínico randomizado, destacando a carência dos estudos-piloto na área de Estomaterapia e seu papel no avanço das pesquisas em Enfermagem com laserterapia e ozonioterapia.

Burns are a serious public health problem due to the high financial costs and physical, psychological, and social impacts on affected individuals. This article presents a cross-sectional study that investigated the possible occurrence of acute stress disorder in burn patients by assessing symptoms suggestive of the disorder in patients hospitalized in a burn unit, based on a non-probabilistic convenience sample. The results indicated that the rate of acute stress disorder in patients admitted to the burn unit of the institution studied is close to the prevalence predicted by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which is 10%. The research highlights the importance of considering the psychological impacts of burns and the need for public policies to prevent and treat these disorders in affected patients

Introduction Catheter ablation (CA) can interfere with cardiac
implantable electronic device (CIED) function. The safety of CA in the 1
year after CIED implantation/lead revision is
uncertain. Methods This single center, retrospective cohort
included patients who underwent CA between 2012-2017 and had a CIED
implant/lead revision within the preceding year. We assessed the
frequency of device/lead malfunction in this population.
Results We identified 1810 CAs in patients between 2012-2017,
with 170 CAs in 163 patients within a year of a CIED implant/lead
revision. Mean age 68 ± 12 years (68% men). Time between the CIED
procedure and CA was 158 ± 99 days. The CA procedures included AF
ablation (n=54, 32%), AV node ablation (n=41, 24%), atrial flutter
ablation (n=25, 15%), and PVC/VT ablations (n=24, 14%). The cumulative
frequency of lead dislodgement, significant CIED dysfunction, and/or
CIED-related infection following CA was (n=1/170, 0.6%). There was a
single atrial lead dislodgement (0.6%). There were no instances of
power-on-reset or CIED-related infection. Following CA, there was no
significant difference in RA or RV lead sensing (p=0.52 and 0.84
respectively) or thresholds (p=0.94 and 0.17 respectively). The RA
impedance slightly decreased post-CA from 474 ± 80 Ohms to 460 ± 73 Ohms
(p=0.002), as did the RV impedance (from 515 ± 111 Ohms to 497 ± 98
Ohms, p<.0001). Conclusions CA can be performed
within 1 year following CIED implantation/lead revision with a low risk
of CIED/lead malfunction or lead dislodgement. The ideal time to perform
CA after a CIED remains uncertain.
