Authors: Huang Yan , Du Bo , Zhu Shiguang , Mu Yingfeng , Geng Deqin
Published: September 2023

Purpose: To determine the effect of a combination of ginkgo leaf tablets with compound carbidopa tablets on cognitive function, serum homocysteine (Hcy), malondialdehyde (MDA) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods: A total of eighty (80) PD patients admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, China between December 2020 and December 2022 were randomly divided into two groups: Western medicine group (n = 40, using compound carbidopa tablets alone) and combination group (n = 40, using ginkgo leaf tablets combined with compound carbidopa tablets), and orally treated for 3 months. Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment   (MoCA) were used to assess cognitive function before and after treatment. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine serum Hcy levels, while enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to evaluate serum MDA and NSE levels. Adverse reactions were also recorded during treatment.Results: Total response rate following treatment in combination group was significantly higher than in Western medicine group (95.00 vs 80.00 %, p < 0.05). After treatment, MMSE and MoCA scores in combination group were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than those in Western medicine group, while serum Hcy, MDA and NSE levels in combination group were significantly lower than those in Western medicine group (p < 0.05). During treatment, there was no significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (p > 0.05).Conclusion: Ginkgo leaf tablets in combination with carbidopa significantly improve cognitive functions associated with PD with high safety, when compared to carbidopa tablets alone. However, further clinical trials are commended to validate these findings.

Purpose: To determine the anesthetic effect and related indicators following concurrent administration of remifentanil and propofol in cerebral hemorrhage surgery patients.Methods: A total of 88 cerebral hemorrhage patients admitted in Lishui People’s District Hospital, Nanjing, China, from December 2019 to December 2020, were assigned to two groups, viz, control group which received fentanyl and propofol for anesthesia, while study group was administered remientanil combined with propofol for anesthesia There were 44 patients in each group. Hemodynamic index, brain injury marker index, stress response index, awakening condition, propofol dosage, anesthetic effect, and adverse reactions were assessed and recorded.Results: Heart rate (HR), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) at T2 and T3 of the two groups were less than those at T1. At T3, the study group’s HR, DBP, and SBP were substantially higher than those of control group (p < 0.05); At 12 and 24 h after operation, brain injury markers and stress response indices in study group were significantly lower compared to control group (p < 0.05), while in comparison to control group (79.55 %), the degree of anesthesia in the study group was higher (95.45 %; p < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group (15.91 %) was lower than in control group (43.18 %; p < 0.05).Conclusion: Remifentanil, when combined with propofol anesthesia, stabilizes hemodynamics, protects against brain injury, and reduces stress reactions in patients undergoing cerebral hemorrhage surgery. The combination is also highly effective and safe. However, validation of these findings in larger clinical trials is required.

Authors: Franco-Carrero José Antonio , Dominguez Padilla María , Domínguez-Fernandez Julián Manuel
Published: September 2023

Introducción: El estrés es la respuesta física y emocional a un daño causado por un desequilibrio entre las exigencias percibidas y los recursos y capacidades percibidos de un individuo para hacer frente a esas exigencias. La OMS ha instado a los responsables en la toma de decisiones y los defensores de la salud mental a intensificar el compromiso para cambiar las actitudes, las acciones y los enfoques de la salud mental. Entre los diferentes tipos de estrategias consideradas, las intervenciones de salud móvil están recibiendo especial atención.
Método: Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda en las principales bases de datos en ciencias de la salud (Medline, WOS y LILACS). Se seleccionaron ensayos clínicos en los que la intervención consistió en el uso de aplicaciones en teléfonos móviles con el fin de disminuir el estrés en población trabajadora, cuyo idioma original fue el inglés o español y publicados en los últimos 5 años.
Resultados: Se seleccionaron 10 artículos. La aplicación más empleada fue HeadSpace. El 70% obtuvieron diferencias significativas en los niveles de estrés antes y después del periodo de estudio. En el 90% la muestra tuvo mayor proporción del sexo femenino.
Conclusiones: La mayoría de los estudios revisados demostraron efectividad en la reducción de las puntuaciones de las escalas utilizadas. Las investigaciones no han profundizado en la relación del estrés con las condiciones de trabajo. Sin una razón que lo objetive las trabajadoras del ámbito sanitario son la población más estudiada.

A Physio-Anatomical Study on Anukta Srotas with special reference of Ashruvaha Srotas
Authors: Sourav Sharma  , Maneela Sharma
Published: September 2023

The number of Srotas are specifically compared with the number of Bhavas in our body. In our body, there is Aparisankheya (innumerable) bhava, so the number of Srotas is also Aparisankhey. In Strotovimaniyaadhyaya, where as many more Srotas have been mentioned in our classics such as Ashruvaha Srotas, Lasikavah Srotas, Sandnyavaha Srotas, etc., we get the specifics of only thirteen Srotas of which Mulasthnadi have not been clarified. Awareness about these Anukta Srotas is needed to treat the diseases of these Srotas. Detailed knowledge of 13 Srotas is enough to believe, visualize and manage the diseases of Laksha-Alaksha Anukta Srotas, according to Acharya Srotas are the Avakashas, which are Abhivahanshila that circulate in our body and travel through their Mulasthanas, thus, their Mulasthana must be verified to learn Anukta Srotas. The whole body is composed of Srotas (micro and macro channels) according to Ayurvedic literature, which transports all sorts of materials throughout the body. It is important that these pathways, both micro and macro, remain intact for proper body function. We found that there is a detailed description of Srotas in Samhita. Srotas are connected to each-other so that other Srotas are also affected when one Srotas is vitiated. The structures that hold or circulate the Doshas and tissues (Dhatu) or their components to the different organs are the Srotas.
Diabetes Mellitus - An Ayurvedic Perspective
Authors: Julee Meena  , Pramod Kumar Mishra  , Indu Sharma  , Brahmanand Sharma  , Pooja Rani
Published: September 2023

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common non-communicable diseases in the world. Diabetes management in India confronts various obstacles, including increased incidence in urban and rural regions, a lack of disease awareness among the general public, inadequate health care facilities, high treatment costs, inefficient glycemic control, and an increase in the prevalence of diabetic complications. Diabetes insulin therapy is often administered via subcutaneous injections up to four times per day. Long-term insulin therapy, along with the intrusive aspect of its administration, has resulted in issues with patient compliance, impacting patient outcomes. Diabetes is a chronic condition that arises when the pancreas does not create enough insulin or when the body cannot adequately use the insulin that is produced. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. Ayurvedic preventive practises can help to keep the disease at bay. Sedentary lifestyle and eating habits are thought to be the primary causes. It is characterised in Ayurveda as Vataja pramehas, which can be managed conservatively with exercise, nutrition, and internal treatment.

The Importance of High Resolution Chromosome Analysis in the Diagnosis of Birth Defects: Case Reports of Holoproscencephaly and Cystic Hygroma
Authors: Lim AST , Chia P , Kee SK , Raman S , Tien SL
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The goal of cytogenetics is the detection of chromosomal abnormalities, achieved by the analysis of adequate numbers of metaphases at the appropriate bands per haploid set (BPHS).

Clinical Picture: Two cases presented here include a foetal blood sample (FBS) of a 33-week-old referred with holoproscencephaly by ultrasonography, and an amniotic fluid (AF) specimen of a 14-week-old foetus with cystic hygroma, cardiac and renal defects.

Outcome: The FBS had a deletion at 18p11.31. Another laboratory had earlier given a normal cytogenetic result on its AF sample. In the second case, an unbalanced 46,XY,der(5)ins(5;3) (q33.1;q26.2q27)mat karyotype was obtained with the AF sample. In both cases, the abnormalities were more obvious when band levels were ≥450 BPHS.

Conclusion: This report underscores the importance of obtaining longer chromosome preparations above the current recommended 400 BPHS for prenatal specimens. This is particularly important in cases with abnormal ultrasound findings suggestive of an underlying chromosomal pathology.

Published: September 2023

Background: Ruptured ectopic pregnancy can cause life threatening hemorrhagic shock in females. Allogenic blood transfusion is limited in resource-constrained settings but autologous blood is readily available. This study reports a case series of autologous blood transfusions performed between September and November 2004 in an emergency hospital run by Doctors Without Borders in Monrovia, Liberia in West Africa during a period of civil war in the country. Methods: Out of a total 180 major surgery performed during that time, 16 were for ectopic pregnancy. After relevant history and examination, four quadrant aspiration of abdomen with 10 ml syringe was performed in suspected cases of ectopic pregnancy. Resistance free aspiration of blood in the syringe was taken as positive for intra-peritoneal hemorrhage and received immediate surgery. Blood was collected from the patient’s abdominal cavity with a bowl, filtered through 9 layers of gauze, packed into ACD bottles and transfused intra-operatively. Results: A minimum of 700 and maximum 2250 ml of blood was thus transfused. All patients survived the surgery with no operative or transfusion related complications and were discharged home within a few days. Conclusion: Autologous blood transfusion is a safe, simple and economic alternative to allogenic blood transfusion for surgeries, like ectopic pregnancy, in resource limited setting.

Kepok banana peel (Musa paradisiaca L.) is one of the traditional plants that can help the hemostatic process. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving kepok banana peel extract (Musa Paradisiaca L.) on bleeding time in cutting the tails of male mice, with the hope that in the future it can be used as an alternative for bleeding therapy after tooth extraction. Observations were made by taking 12 mice as samples and divided into three groups, namely the negative control group (K-), the positive control group (K+), and the treatment group (P). In the K- group, the mice were subjected to aquadest solution of 0.4 ml/20 mg BW, in the K+ group, tranexamic acid was probed at a dose of 0.065 mg/g BW mice as much as 0.4 ml/20 mg BW mice , and in the P group the kepok banana peel extract was probed with a dose of 1.55 mg/g BW mice as much as 0.4 ml/20 mg BW mice orally. All groups were cut on the tails of mice with a length of 0.5 cm. The cut wounds on the tails of mice were dripped onto absorbent paper boxes which were divided into 16 boxes, with an interval of 30 seconds in each box. The results showed that the administration of kepok banana peel extract (Musa Paradisiaca L.) had the effect of accelerating bleeding time on tail cutting of mice with BalB-C strain.

The validity of the questionnaire is calculated using product moment correlation and Cronbach alpha to test the reliability of the questionnaire. Data analysis in this study used normality, linearity, multicollinearity, multiple linear regression tests and hypothesis testing, namely the T, F, and R2 tests. The research results prove a positive and significant influence of the PBL model on student learning outcomes through the F test. The PBL model influences learning outcomes through an F-calculation of 10.876 with a significance of 0.000, which means it simultaneously has a positive and significant influence on learning outcomes (hypothesis accepted). Then, through a partial test (test-test) with a t-count of 2.163, a significance of 0.04, means that it partially has a positive and significant effect on learning outcomes (the hypothesis is accepted). The R2 test result has a value of 0.546, which means it has a 54.6% influence on the learning outcomes of the class studied.

Araştırmanın amacı, çalışanlar için içsel motivasyon ölçeği geliştirerek, geçerlik ve güvenirliğini sınamaktır. Bu çalışma farklı iş sektörlerinde çalışan 104 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik için Çok Boyutlu İş Motivasyonu Ölçeği ve Demografik Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Ölçek uygulamalarından önce çalışanların içsel motivasyonları konusunda 11 derinlemesine görüşme yapılmış, ardından madde havuzu oluşturulmuş ve maddelerin açıklık, akıcılık ve dil kapsamında uzman görüşleri alınarak ölçek uygulanabilir hale getirilmiştir. Çalışanlar İçin İçsel Motivasyon Ölçeği (ÇİİMÖ) çalışanların içsel motivasyonlarını değerlendiren toplamda 21 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma verileri uygun istatistiksel yöntemlerle analiz edilmiştir. Direct Oblimin rotasyonu ile yapılan faktör analizi sonunda Çalışanlar İçin İçsel Motivasyon Ölçeğinin (ÇİİMÖ) beş faktörü bir yapısı olduğu görülmüştür. Bu faktörlere yüklenen ifadelerin içeriğini yansıtacak şekilde; “fayda”, “inanç”, “algılanan yetkinlik”, “olumsuz duygulanım” ve “zevk/ilgi” şeklinde isimlendirilmiştir. Ölçeğe ait iç güvenirlik analizi sonuçları tatmin edici düzeydedir. Ayrıca ÇİİMÖ’nün doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile beş faktörlü yapısının geçerliliği doğrulanmıştır. Ayrıca ÇİİMÖ’nün ölçüt geçerliliğine bakmak için Çok Boyutlu İş Motivasyonu Ölçeği ölçüt olarak alınmış; her iki ölçeğe ait alt ölçekler ve toplam ölçek puanları arasındaki anlamlı ilişkiler raporlanmıştır.
Geographic Information Systems as Data Sharing Infrastructure for Clinical Data Warehouses

Published: September 2023

Introduction: The sharing of patient location data is heavily regulated by lawsprotecting patient privacy and institutional review boards that are designed toprotect the rights and wellbeing of human subjects. Patient location data hasincredible value for research due to environmental social determinants ofhealth that heavily influence patient outcomes. The misalignment of sensitivityand utility creates a barrier for researchers wishing to understand the impactof neighborhood-level social determinants of health (SDOH) on health outcomes.Objectives: We aim to describe data warehousing solutions for the safe and ethicalenhancement of patient location data; these enhancements will enable easierdata sharing. Methods: We deploy geographic information systems (GIS) as a complementary datawarehousing service which imports patient addresses, processes the data, andreturns results back to the warehouse for others to use and disseminate.Results: We processed 1.3 million patients and added facets about their locationto our data warehouse where they may later be requested for research. Wefurther added de-identified information about the demographics of patientlocations from the United States Census Bureau which assists researchers inunderstanding the impact of location-driven SDOH.Conclusions: GIS support is a necessary component of a clinical data warehouse andsharing derived, de-identified data is both feasible and useful for research.Open-source software lowers the barrier of adoption and the cost associatedwith deriving these contextual data points.
Apollonik Düzene Karşı Diyonizyak Esrime: Mitolojik Anlatıların Felsefi Açılımları Ekseninde Körkütük Filmi

ÖZ

İnsanlığın anlam arayışının temeli; yaşamın ve insanın açıklanmasında birincil kaynak olan kadim anlatılara kadar dayanır. Bu anlatıların önemli kısmını oluşturan mitler, Antik Çağlar’dan bugüne bir zincir halinde mitolojik anlatılar bütününü tesis ederler. Sinemada da kullanılan bu anlatılar, güncelleştirilerek modern yaşamla ilgili filmsel göndermelere altyapı sağlar. Evrensel olarak bilinen pek çok mit, sinemada farklı versiyonlarla kendine yer bulmuştur. Bu mitlerden biri de, Antik Grek mitolojisindeki Apollon ve Dionysos’a dair anlatılardır. Bu tanrılara atfedilen ve felsefi bazı öğretilere de temel sağlayan karşıt nitelikler, modern kültürdeki sinemasal öyküleri yorumlamaya temel sağlayabilir. Bu çalışma, İskandinav Sineması’nın güncel örneklerinden Körkütük (2020) adlı filmi Apollon ve Dionysos mitleri ekseninde irdelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Filmin kurgusal anlatısı, bu mitlerin kültürel yorumlamaları bağlamında analiz edilmiştir. Yöntembilim bakımından, Gadamer’in hermeneutik yaklaşımı dâhilinde görsel/sessel kodların söz konusu mitolojik anlatılar temelinde yorumlanmasına dayalı niteliksel analiz metodu kullanılmıştır. Çözümleme sonucunda, filmsel anlatının modern topluma dair çıkarımları, mitolojik anlatılar üzerinden yapılan değerlendirmelerle ortaya koyulmuştur.

Yeni medyanın uygulama sahası olan dijital platformlar, dizi film yapımları için önemli bir içerik mecrası olarak kabul edilmektedir. Dizi filmlerinin geniş ölçekte kabul edilmesi konusunda son yıllarda sanal kullanıcılara yönelik içeriklere ağırlık verildiği görülmektedir. Bu konuda ücretli erişim hizmetleriyle üyelik sistemine göre oluşturulan ağ platformlarının özellikle genç kesime yönelik bir beğeni kültürü oluşturmaya çalıştığı anlaşılmaktadır. Z kuşağının izleyici kitlesini oluşturduğu bu platformlarda ağ toplumu, niteliksel olarak marjinal özelliklere sahip kişilik çatışması yaşayan ana ve yardımcı karakterler üzerinden şekillendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Netflix yapımı Wednesday adlı dizi, dünyada en fazla izlenen 10 yapım içerisinde yer almaktadır. Wednesday dizisinde, postmodern pastiş betimlemeye sahip olup karakterle patolojik açıdan ironik bir ilişki kurulması ön plana çıkmaktadır. Sosyal psikoloji tanımlamalarındaki kimlik ilişkisi ile ruhsal değişkenlik yapıları dizinin ilk sezonunda yer alan sekiz bölümü içerisinde çeşitli temsiller, kahramanlık yapıları ve cinsiyetçi rolleri ile iletişim biçimleri ifadeler düzeyinde incelenerek adet ve yüzdelikler cinsinden içerik analizi yöntemiyle ele alınmaktadır. Wednesday dizisinin ilk sezonunu temsil eden sekiz bölümünde ilk aşamada ana karakter Wednesday Addams üzerinden sözel ifadeleri tipolojik olarak sınıflandıran üçlü niteleme grubu oluşturulmuştur. Dizinin ilk sezonunda söylem olarak 250 adet niteleme ve imgelem saptanmış olup, aile ve çevre nitelemesi 79 adet ve %31,60 oran, özeleştiri özelliği taşıyan nitelemeler 53 adet ve %21,20 oran, diğer kişilere yapılan nitelemeler 107 adet ve %42,80 şeklinde belirlenmiş olup, görüntünün bir yansıması olan imgelem sayısı 11 olup genel oran içerisinde %4,40 düzeyindedir.

Duygusal Bağlılık ile İşten Ayrılma Niyeti İlişkisinde, Aşırı İş Yükünün Düzenleyici Etkisi: Belediye Personeli Üzerine Bir Araştırma
Authors: DERELİOĞLU Semih
Published: September 2023

İşten ayrılma niyeti, işten ayrılma davranışı öncesi oluşan ve örgütleri olumsuz yönde etkileyen bir örgütsel sorundur. İş gücü devrine neden olabilecek olan bu niyet örgüt açısından ciddi maliyetler doğurabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla çalışanların uzun yıllar boyunca görev yaptıkları örgütlerden ayrılmamaları için örgüt yönetimleri çeşitli kararlar almak zorundadır. Bu nedenle işten ayrılma niyetine sebep olabilecek unsurları tespit etmek son derece değerli olmaktadır. Bu çalışma, belediye çalışan beyaz yakalılar arasında duygusal bağlılık ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu ilişkide aşırı iş yükünün düzenleyici rolünü araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Manisa iline bağlı bir ilçe olan Salihli belediyesinde 185 belediye çalışanı örnekleminde bir anket yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS ve AMOS ile gerçekleştirilmiş olup Regresyon, Simple Slope, Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi ile uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları, duygusal bağlılığın işten ayrılma niyeti ile negatif bir ilişkisi olduğunu ve aşırı iş yükünün bu ilişkide düzenleyici etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu anlamda, aşırı iş yükü arttıkça, duygusal bağlılığın işten ayrılma niyeti üzerindeki koruyucu etkisi azalmaktadır. Buna karşın, duygusal bağlılık ile aşırı iş yükü arasında ve aşırı iş yükü ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Söz konusu bulgular, örgütlerin çalışanlarının işten ayrılma sebeplerini anlamaları bakımından önem taşımaktadır.

Published: September 2023

Following the end of World War II, Congress passed the War Brides Act of 1945, which allowed foreign wives of U.S. military personnel to immigrate to the United States. However, with the ban of Asian immigration after World War II, the sudden influx of thousands of women created social tension while opening up one of the country’s largest cross-cultural integrations. This book reveals the stories of nineteen Japanese war brides whose assimilation into American culture forever influenced future generations, depicting love, strength, and perseverance in the face of incredible odds. With an estimated 50,000 women who migrated from Japan to the U.S. during 1946-1965, they all hold a unique place in American history and have been called ambassadors to the U.S. For the first time in English these women share their triumphs, sorrows, successes, and identity in a time when their own future was tainted by social segregation.

This oral history focuses mainly on women’s lives during World War II and the occupation of Japan. It illuminates the cultural expectations, the situations brought about by the war, and effects of the occupation, and also includes quotes from various war brides regarding this time. Chapter interviews are set up in chronological fashion and laid out in the following format: introduction of the war bride, how she met her husband, her initial travels to America, and life thereafter. Where needed, explanations, translations, and background history with references are provided.
