Published: June 2022

Coronary heart disease is one of the non-communicable diseases with the highest prevalence in Indonesia. Coronary heart disease incidents can be prevented by controlling modifiable Coronary heart disease risk factors. Family is the strength for a person to survive pressure or keep life in balance. The purpose was to analyze the effect of strengthening family potency on the control of modifiable coronary heart disease risk factors in adult women. The research design used a quasi-experimental. The research variable was Coronary heart disease risk control models. The population in this study were families who had adult female family members with coronary heart disease in the work area of Arosbaya Public Health Center in 2019. In the sample in this study, as many as 30 people in each group were taken by simple random sampling. The research instrument used a simulation model for controlling Coronary heart disease risk factors that can be modified for women by the family using modules. Analysis used the Kolmogorov Smirnov and pair t-tes. The results showed that the mean modification of Coronary heart disease risk factors in adult women increased, except for avoidance of cigarette smoke (p <0.05). The pair t-test results show that there is a difference in controlling the risk factors for Coronary heart disease that can be modified after strengthening family potential, except for the avoidance of cigarette smoke. It can be concluded that the implementation of the family potential strengthening model is proven to significantly increase the family's ability to control the risk factors for Coronary heart disease can be modified in adult women. It is recommended that Coronary heart disease in adult women can be carried out by controlling risk factors that can be modified by involving all family components

Published: June 2022

Children under five years of age are very sensitive to environmental influences such as inadequate nutrition, lack of stimulation, and other factors. Several types of health problems can hinder the growth process of children under five, one of which is stunting. This study aims to develop a scorecard model for early detection of stunting risk based on stunting factor analysis in the Surabaya City Health Centre work area. The design of this study is conducted in several phases, including the first phase of analyzing risk factors using a case-control design, and the second phase of compiling a scorecard for early detection of stunting risk with a panel of experts. The sample in this study consisted of several mothers and infants, both with and without stunting risk. The sample size is 175 mothers and children under five years of age. The sampling method used was systematic random sampling. The risk factor data were analyzed using the multinomial logistic regression test, and the scorecard was created based on the OR value. The result of this study is the scorecard able to make early detection of stunting risk with a cut-off value is 3.50. It is mean that using the scorecard has a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 75% to detect the stunting risk of children. The scorecard can be used to determine whether a child is at low or high risk for stunting. This study implies that the scorecard can be used for early detection of stunting risk by mothers, health cadres, and health workers. It is hoped that by using the scorecard, early identification of the risk of stunting can be addressed immediately and interventions can be implemented according to the recommendations and problems that children are experiencing.

Published: June 2022

Advance care planning (ACP) allows individuals to plan the health care which dignifies their personal values at the terminal phase of their illnesses. The Japanese government previously endorsed the concept of ACP in the guideline on end-of-life care and community nurses in Japan could play an increased role to improve its utilization by patients. The current study aimed to identify challenges surrounding ACP practice in the home environment in Japan from the community nurses’ perspectives. Semi-structured interview was performed on eleven community nurses working in metropolitan areas in Japan. Qualitative data was collected and analyzed using Braun & Clarke’s six-step framework of thematic analysis (2006). Five themes were identified as barriers to effective ACP utilization: complexity surrounding family power, informed consent and discussion, cultural influence, longer life versus better life, and absence of frameworks and guidelines. The first three themes were further subdivided into subthemes: imbalance in family power and family guilt, inadequate information for decision-making and ‘no one talk about it’, and traditional ways of thinking and taboo surrounding talking about death, respectively. The identified issues surrounding the current ACP practice in Japan were interconnected and reflective of the social, cultural, legal, and ethical aspects of life and care in Japan. This study highlighted the importance of respecting patients’ preferences in care, which should be additionally protected by establishing clear policy and legal frameworks on ACP

The use of Internet of Things devices has lately increased significantly, leading to the management of a diverse set of nodes and a vast number of data. Most Internet of Things nodes have limited resources and are vulnerable to a variety of threats and failures. Therefore, numerous novel techniques have been conducted to secure resource-constrained devices such as access control. In this work, we proposed an access control mechanism by using the user log files when they interact with their Internet of Things devices. Where it is possible to define and enforce access control restrictions and follow logs through log files to monitor the user accessing behaviors. This mechanism can be applied as an extra security layer along with any traditional user authentication access control to have the effective and accurate access control to prevent intrusion reveal information in the Internet of Things devices. To do this, we developed three Internet of Things applications on mobile, table, and website pages with different functionalities and goals to store the user log file features. We collected a large-scale date-set from over a thousand participants. Three machine learning algorithms: J48, Part, and Naive Bayes are applied and compared to predict the legitimate users. Several experiments were performed with significant results.

This study aims to determine the ability to solve mathematical problems of students on FPB and KPK materials in fourth grade students of SD NEGERI CIKOKOL 3. This research was conducted on fourth grade students in the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. The research method used is exploration with random sampling techniques and classroom teacher interviews. The hypothesis is that students’ interest in learning mathematics in FPB and KPK is influenced by the result of learning basic multiplication and division as a sample. However, based on the data obtained from the result of random sampling and interviews, in this populations the result of learning mathematics in the FPB and KPK materials concluded that students’ mathematical problem solving abilities were still low. So that there are still some students who still do not understand the steps for solving problems because the teacher rarely asks problem solving questions. Students have difficulty solving FPB and KPK question because they cannot perform multiplication and division opertions which are prerequisite materials for FPB and KPK.

Introduction: Suicide is the act of intentionally killing oneself by using various methods. Hanging is a very common method of suicide worldwide. The rate of suicide cases by hanging is increasing daily in Bangladesh. Suicide by hanging means killing oneself intentionally by suspending themselves from an anchor point by a ligature or by jumping from a height with a noose around the neck. As hanging is a simple method that does not require any complicated techniques, and the materials are also easy to come by, many choose this as their suicide method. Aim of the study: The objective of this study was to observe the demography of hanging cases, its distribution according to age group, sex, common ligature materials used by victims, observe post mortem findings and in this way, try to identify the causes and develop the preventive measures that are essential to reduce death due to hanging. Methods: This was a retrospective study done on the basis of the 3rd copies of postmortem reports preserved in the department of Forensic Medicine, Rajshahi Medical College, Rajshahi, Bangladesh for the period of 2 years with proper permission from the autopsy surgeon. Result: 72% of the suicide victims were female, and 53% of those 361 victims were married. Most of the victims were from the age group of 21-30 years. Marital disharmony was the biggest common cause. The commonly used ligature material was Orna (dupatta). Conclusion: The number of deaths by suicide is on a rise, and to reduce this, a well-designed program is needed. This can help identify the causative factors f suicide by hanging and could help in preventing suicide cases.

Role of Different Hormones (Testosterone, Estrogen, Melatonin, Glucocorticoid, Thyroxin) in Immune Modulation of Thymocyte and Splenocyte Functions of Indian Goat C. hircus: An in vitro Study
Authors: Ghosh Somenath
Published: June 2022

The immune system is coordinated by a number of cytokines which are regarded as chemical messengers of immunity. Some of them are pro-inflammatory (e.g. IL-2), some are anti-inflammatory (e.g. IL-6), some can be regarded as a switch between pro and anti-inflammatory processes (e.g. TNF-α). Further, immune regulation in body is a proper balance between mitosis and apoptosis occurring simultaneously in the body. In the present chapter we explored the spleen and thymus functions by assessing %SR and % apoptotic rate of splenocytes and thymocytes being significantly high levels of cell proliferation (in terms of %SR) and apoptosis rate during monsoon and winter seasons. We noted IL-2 (a pro-inflammatory cytokine), IL-6 (an anti-inflammatory cykine), TNF-α (a switch between pro and anti-inflammatory cytokine) and IFN-γ (a marker of viral infection) in circulation of goats. We noted significantly high levels of IL-2 and TNF-α levels during monsoon and winter but IFN-γ and IL-6 levels were only high during monsoon. Hence, to ameliorate the elevated inflammatory stress level particularly during monsoon goats have evolved a number of adaptive strategies. But, simultaneously during monsoon the gonadal steroid levels are also high which are reported as immune suppressor. Thus, the basic query may arise how goats are proved to be a better survivor under the season of stress (particularly during monsoon) when the level of potent immune enhancer neurohormone melatonin level is also low.

Most pancreatic cancers are damage to its exocrine unit: more than 90%against 5 to 10% of islet tumors and they occur twice as often in the head of the pancreas than in the body or of the tail. Cancer is responsible for 9 million deaths each year, the disease is thought to affect 17, 5 million people worldwide. In Mali, Pancreatic cancer accounts for 1, 7 and 0, 8 percent of all cancers in men and women respectively; the five-year survival rate is between1and 10 percent although the diagnosis seems straightforward. However the big one majority of cases are seen at an advanced stage. This gloomy prognosis is to a large extent also linked to the clinical latency not allowing to make the diagnosis at the initial stage of the disease. Ductal adenocarcinoma appears to be the most common 80 percent. Pancreatic endocrine tumors arouse gret interest because of their physiopathological and prognostic characteristics, a heterogeneous evolutionary potential. This condition has been very little studied in Mali.

Unlike extremity sarcomas, however, RPS can expand massively in the confines of the retroperitoneum prior to detection and diagnosis, making these resections challenges. Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess the surgical management modalities and their post-operative outcomes of retroperitoneal sarcomas. Methods and Materials: This was a cross-sectional study from initially all the patients were enrolled by purposive sampling. Thereafter, they were scrutinized by eligibility criteria. All the patients underwent definitive surgery. A preformed structured peer-reviewed data collection sheet was prepared which was used to collect data. Data were compiled, edited, and analyzed by SPSS version 24.0. The result was tabulated in table and figure form. Data analysis was done by Pearson’s chi-square test and student’s t-test.

Navigating Self-Objectification with Social Support and Relationship Authenticity in Mastectomy Survivors
Authors: Biswas Anupriya
Published: June 2022

Background: Sexist media tropes objectify the female body, and nonconformists to the ideal beauty standards are isolated as dissenters. Mastectomy causes major changes to a woman’s body, and due to the widespread consumption of body-objectifying media, women undergoing mastectomy without reconstruction are vulnerable to body-dissatisfaction, which may lead to mental health issues. Objectives: This study aims to explore the influence of relationship authenticity, social support from spouse, family and friends in reducing body consciousness and enhancing self-esteem for improved psycho-oncological prognosis in mastectomy patients. Method: Participants (N=30) recruited to the study, were involved in a heterosexual marital relationship, with a monthly per head income of roughly 2000 INR and had undergone mastectomy without reconstruction, in admitted observation or out-patient follow-up observation, ranging from a period of 6-12 months post-surgery. Result: Statistical analyses revealed significant association in body consciousness, relationship authenticity and self-esteem in mastectomy patients. The study also found lower self-objectification and higher self-esteem among those who were successfully rehabilitated to their family setting in comparison to patients immediately after surgery. Conclusion: Perceived support from family and body consciousness are predictive of self-esteem in the sample studied.

Thyroid nodules are a common and prevalent problem encountered in every day clinical practice. Ultrasound (US) is considered to be the initial imaging modality used in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. The TI-RADS (Thyroid Image Reporting and Data system) is an US-based system used to categorize thyroid nodules and stratify their malignant risk in the aim to standardize reporting and simplify communication among practitioners. The aim of this study is to compare the TI-RADS classification of thyroid nodules on ultrasound with the findings of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) reported using the Bethesda system. A retrospective study of 59 thyroid nodules that underwent single radiologist bedside neck and thyroid US over a period of one year between January 2020 – January 2021 was performed. The US findings were based on the TI-RADS and all the nodules were eventually subjected to US-guided FNAC. Clinico-pathological retrospective analysis was performed by comparing TI-RADS findings to the Bethesda FNAC classification. Comparing TI-RADS results with the Bethesda system of classification, the risk of malignancy for TI-RADS 2, TI-RADS 3, TI-RADS 4, and TI-RADS 5 were 0%, 10%, 50%, and 100%, respectively. A significant association was noted between the TI-RADS and Bethesda system of classification (P < 0.001). We derived 91.3% sensitivity, 88.9% specificity, 84% positive predictive value, and 94.1% negative predictive value for our study. There is a strong correlation between thyroid sonographic reporting using the TI-RADS and Bethesda cytological classification system for thyroid nodules. The TI-RADS classification is an effective method for risk stratification of thyroid nodules into categories predictive of their malignant potential. This aims to guide further management and facilitate the selection process for fine-needle aspiration biopsy, thus avoiding unnecessary procedures.

Background and objectives: To study the efficacy of peri-tonsillar infiltration of 0.75%ropivacaine with adrenaline in the management of post-tonsillectomy pain. Materials and methods: This prospective study was conducted in the department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences, B.G. Nagara, Mandya district. The study period was from November 2017 to July 2019. A sample size of 30 patients which satisfied the inclusion criteria was included in the study. Ropivacaine (0.75%) with Adrenaline (1:200000) was locally infiltrated on the right side (R-side) in the peri-tonsillar region before the surgery and in the tonsillar fossa after the surgery. The left side was considered as the control side. Patients were followed up on 1st and 7th post-operative days for the measurement of post-operative pain. For the assessment of post-operative pain, Visual Analogue Scale was used (VAS). Results: 17(56.7%) females and 13(43.3%) males participated in the study. Majority of the cases belonged to <10 years of age group. On 1st post-operative day, pain on the right side was significantly lower compared to the left side (p value <0.0001), however the reduction of pain scores on right side compared with that of the left side was not significant (p value=0.536) on the 7th post-operative day. Interpretation and conclusion: The peri-tonsillar infiltration of ropivacaine(0.75%) with adrenaline (1:200000) is effective and significant in reducing post-operative pain on the 1st post-operative day, but not so significant on the 7th post-operative day .Hence we recommend the use of peri-tonsillar infiltration of ropivacaine (0.75%) with adrenaline in view of better management of post-operative pain.

Authors: Dirican Seher
Published: June 2022

Turkey because it is located in a semi-arid region precipitation varies greatly according to season and region. However, the increase in summer temperatures caused by climate change in Turkey, reduced winter rainfall, loss of surface waters, droughts that are more frequent, floods and erosion affects directly threatens water resources. This paper is about the water occupancy rates of Çermikler Dam in Sivas province. In this context, the water occupancy rate data of Çermikler Dam between 2015 and 2019 were evaluated. While the lowest water occupancy rate was determined as 6.2% in 2018, the highest water occupancy rate was determined as 42.0% in 2019. The average annual water occupancy rate of Çermikler Dam between 2015 and 2019 has been calculated as 24.50%. This indicates that Çermikler Dam is affected by drought. Therefore, droughts in Kızılırmak Basin where Çermikler Dam is located should be monitored. Accordingly, the waters of the Çermikler Dam should be managed. It is very important to use water rationally and efficiently.

Published: June 2022

Corticotomy found to be effective in accelerating orthodontic treatment. It involves selective alveolar decortication in the form of decortication lines and dots performed around the teeth that are to be moved. It is done to induce a state of increased tissue turnover and a transient osteopenia, which is followed by a faster rate of orthodontic tooth movement. This technique has several advantages, including faster tooth movement, shorter treatment time, safer expansion of constricted arches, enhanced post-orthodontic treatment stability and extended envelope of tooth movement.

Laser technique now is widely applied in orthodontic treatment and proved to have many benefits. Soft tissue lasers can be used to perform gingivectomy, frenectomy and surgical exposure of tooth with less bleeding and swelling, improved precision, reduced painand less wound contraction. Other laser applications include enamel etching and bonding andbracket debonding. Lower level lasers have the potential effects of pain control and accelerating tooth movement. Clinicians must be aware of the safety issues and risks associated with laser and receive proper training before the laser treatment is started.

Published: June 2022

Orthodontic treatment usually requires a long period of time, and patients experience pain and discomfort during treatment. Accelerating orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and reducing the length of orthodontic treatment may help to reduce not only discomfort but also possible dental and periodontal complications in patients. MOPs are the least invasive surgical procedure. The aim of this review review article is to conduct a review of current literature to evaluate the effects of micro osteoperforations on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement and pain.

The capital market is an alternative investment that provides investors with the opportunity to earn profits, which is known as stock profits. The more desirable a stock will cause abnormal stock returns, namely the difference between the actual profit and the expected profit. Carbon Emission Disclosure (CED) in financial statements is one of the drivers that affect stock prices on stock returns. Several factors that influence the disclosure of carbon emissions, namely the company size where larger companies have higher pressure than small companies, so companies will increase information disclosure to build a good social image and gain legitimacy as part of the company's business strategy. Disclosure of carbon emissions can be used as a form of company effort to gain legitimacy and a good image in the eyes of stakeholders, profitability provides companies with resources to gain public confidence that business profits can be made in line with disclosure of carbon emissions, and company growth shows carbon emission information is able to provide confidence in stakeholders on the company's sustainable prospects in the future. The population in this study are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2020. The sampling technique was carried out using purposive sampling which resulted in 240 samples from 2018-2020. The tool used to test the hypothesis uses Path Analysis with SPSS version 22. The results show that company size, profitability, and company growth have a positive effect on CED, while CED has a negative effect on abnormal stock returns, company size and company growth have positive effect on abnormal stock returns, while profitability has no positive effect on abnormal stock returns.

Published: June 2022

Objective: Due to the high mortality levels associated with the novel coronavirus, reliable predictors for determining disease mortality and severity are needed to permit the careful allocation of health services and for earlier clinical intervention and follow-up. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive value of the C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) and the fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) in determining mortality and evaluate correlations between these values and thoracic computed tomography (CT) findings.
Material and Methods: COVID-19 patients aged over 65 presenting to the emergency department of a tertiary training and research hospital between Oct 15, 2021, and Jan 15, 2022, were examined in this single-center, retrospective study. The study population was established based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients’ mortality status and pulmonary involvement percentages were compared with their laboratory parameters.
Results: The relationships between patients’ CAR and FAR values and mortality and disease severity were investigated. Cut-off points of 3.0 for CAR (AUC 0.767, sensitivity 76.5% and specificity 70.1%) and 14.4 for FAR (AUC 0.731, sensitivity 75.0% and specificity 69.0%) were determined for the prediction of mortality. In terms of prediction of disease severity, cut-off points were 4.2 for CAR (AUC 0.786, sensitivity 73.7%, and specificity 75.2%) and 15.2 for FAR (AUC 0.789, sensitivity 84.2%, and specificity 69.6%).
Conclusion: Based on our study findings, CAR and FAR values may be useful in the early differentiation of mortality and pulmonary parenchymal involvement in elderly COVID-19 patients.
