Authors: Zhang Yasi , Zhang Aijie , Xiang Jianbang , Zhan Yiqiang
Published: August 2023

Background:

Perceived stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Their associations with CVDs in the Chinese population are less investigated. The present study aims to investigate the associations of perceived stress with well-defined CVDs in a population-based survey in Shenzhen, China.

Methods:

In the community-based survey, we recruited 2,287 participants aged 18 years and over from 8 communities in Shenzhen, China. Perceived stress was assessed using the modified Chinese version of the Perceived Stress Scale with 14 items and a five-point Likert scale. CVDs including coronary heart disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation were ascertained from electronic health records and confirmed by family physicians. Potential confounders included age, sex, educational attainment, occupation, smoking, and alcohol-drinking habits. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to estimate the magnitude of the associations.

Results:

Overall, the average perceived stress score was 37.2 (standard error: 7.2 and range: 14–70) among the participants. The prevalence of CVDs was 2.7%. After controlling for age, sex, educational attainment, occupation, smoking, and alcohol-drinking habits, a higher perceived stress score was significantly associated with higher risks of CVDs (odds ratio [OR]: 1.25, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01–1.55). The associations were comparable among men (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.01–1.43) and women (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.02–1.63). We also examined the potential nonlinear relationship using restricted cubic spines and found that the relationship was almost linear.

Conclusions:

Our analysis showed that higher perceived stress was associated with higher risks of CVDs among adults. Future studies are warranted to clarify the biological mechanisms and shed light on these associations.

Authors: Shehu Muhammad N. , Okeahialam Basil N. , Borodo Musa M. , Sani Mahmoud U. , Isezuo Simeon A.
Published: August 2023

Context:

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) encompasses a spectrum of disorders involving both the heart and kidneys in which acute or chronic dysfunction in one organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction in the other organ.

Aim:

To review the short-term outcomes and their predictors among patients admitted with HF complicated by renal impairment.

Settings and Design:

This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

Patients aged 18 years and above were consecutively recruited over a period of 11 months. Detailed history and physical examination as well as relevant baseline blood chemistry, full blood count, urinalysis, estimated glomerular filtration rate, ECG, echocardiography, and renal ultrasound were carried out on all patients.

Statistical analysis used:

The data was analyzed using SPSS Version 16.0. Student t-test and the nonparametric χ2 or Fisher's exact test were used to test for significance among the noncategorical and categorical variables, respectively.

Results:

One hundred and twenty four (72.9%) patients had CRS. Patients with CRS had a significantly higher mortality rate compared with those without the syndrome (25% vs. 13%; P = 0.031). There was no significant difference in the duration of hospital stay between patients with CRS and those without CRS (17.86 ± 13.11 vs. 15.85 ± 13.46; P = 0.378). Serum creatinine of ≥170 μmol/L and serum urea of >20 mmol/L were the identified predictors of mortality (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.098–6.243, RR = 2.618, P = 0.030; and 95% CI 1.106–6.757, RR = 2.734, P = 0.029, respectively).

Conclusion:

CRS is associated with a significantly higher mortality rate. Measures of the renal function, serum creatinine >170 μmol/L and serum urea of >20 mmol/L were identified as the predictors of mortality.

Authors: Okoror Collins Ejakhianghe Maximilian , Ezeanochie Michael Chudi , Ande Adedapo Babatunde Anibaba
Published: August 2023

Context:

Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is a significant event as it may lead to maternal complications, increased operative procedure, neonatal morbidity, and mortality.

Aim:

To determine the predictors of successful vaginal delivery in pregnant women undergoing stimulation of uterine contractions following premature rupture of membranes (PROM).

Settings and Design:

This prospective cohort study was conducted at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

Seventy-four pregnant women between the gestational ages of 37 weeks and 41 weeks with a live singleton fetus in cephalic presentation and no contraindication to vaginal delivery who had stimulation of uterine contractions following term PROM were included in this study. The main outcome measure was the route of delivery.

Statistical Analysis:

The analysis was done with IBM statistical package for social science (SPSS) Statistics v21, and a P value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

Sixty-two (83.8%) women had a vaginal delivery. The mean age and gestational age were 29.76 ± 3.69 years and 39.04 ± 1.15 weeks, respectively. The chance of vaginal delivery was increased with BMI <30 (RR = 9.091, 95% CI = 1.827–45.246). The duration between rupture of membranes and commencement of stimulation of uterine contractions was ≤8 h (RR = 4.889, 95% CI = 1.307–18.293) also increasing the chance of achieving vaginal delivery. The time interval to 4 cm cervical dilatation ≤4 h (RR = 4.167, 95% CI = 1.141–15.215) and time interval to delivery ≤8 h (RR = 12.222, 95% CI = 2.433–61.402) also favored vaginal delivery.

Conclusion:

When uterine contractions are stimulated for PROM at term, vaginal delivery is predicted by maternal BMI <30, duration of rupture of membrane ≤ 8 h, and time interval to 4 cm cervical dilatation ≤4 h. Also, it was found was that vaginal delivery becomes less likely when the time interval from stimulation to delivery exceeds 8 h.

Background:

Increasing consumption of vended foods may pose a significant public health threat associated with food-borne illnesses. Context: Increasing consumption of vended foods may pose a significant public health threat associated with food borne illnesses.

Aim:

To assess and compare the determinants of personal hygiene practices among street food vendors and canteen food handlers in a commercial city of northwestern Nigeria.

Settings and design:

Using interviewer-administered questionnaire, comparative cross-sectional design was used

Materials and Methods:

As much as 310 (in each group) street food vendors and canteen food handlers, selected using a multistage sampling technique.

Data analysis used:

The data was analyzed using SPSS Version 22.0

Results:

The proportion of street food vendors practicing correct personal hygiene measures were 214 (70.2%), compared with 213 (74.0%) canteen food handlers, respectively. There was a significant association between street food vendor's sex, ethnicity, educational status, hepatitis A or typhoid vaccination status, and the correct practice of personal hygiene (P < 0.05). Sex was found to be an independent predictor of personal hygiene practice (adjusted odds ratio = 4.7, 95% confidence interval = 1.3–16.7) among street food vendors with female street food vendors being five times more likely to observe correct personal hygiene practice than their male counterparts.

Conclusions:

Personal hygiene practice was found to be good among both street food vendors and canteen food handlers. However, there is a need for improvement if food-borne diseases are to be controlled; therefore, the government should ensure training and enforcement of all regulations to improve the personal hygiene practice thereby reducing the burden of food-borne illnesses.

Context:

The management of mass casualty events caused by terrorist-related suicide bombings in densely populated areas is often challenging.

Aims:

This study describes the pattern of injuries, the emergency response following a suicide bombing in Nigeria in 2014 and compares the outcomes to those of other incidents.

Settings and Design:

A retrospective analysis of cases that presented to a major tertiary care center was done.

Methods and Material:

Medical records of 50 patients who experienced bomb blast or gunshot wounds during 28th November, 2014 suicide bombing of the Kano Central Mosque were reviewed and 12 eyewitnesses were interviewed.

Statistical analysis used:

Descriptive analysis of quantitative data was done while major themes were identified from the key informant interviews.

Results:

Fifty patients were admitted at the acute care center within 4 hours. There was a male predilection (98%), with a median age of 30 years (IQR, interquartile range = 37.5 years). Most injuries were the result of multiple penetrating projectiles (secondary blast injuries), primarily involving blast-energized metallic fragments like screws, nails, bolts, ball bearings, and metal scraps. Eleven patients (22%) had minor lacerations, about a quarter (n = 12; 24%) had severe hemorrhage and were transfused, five (10%) had multi-system involvement, and mortality rate was 8% (n = 4). Interventions were aimed at preserving the lives of those injured.

Conclusion:

Most of the victims had major injuries which were appropriately managed although the hospital lacked an existing protocol on mass casualty management. Increased awareness, organized field triage mechanisms, and capacity building in health facilities will facilitate prompt emergency response.

Published: August 2023

Advancements in remote medical technologies and smart devices have led to expectations of contactless rehabilitation. Conventionally, rehabilitation requires clinicians to perform routine muscle function assessments with patients. However, assessment results are difficult to cross‐reference owing to the lack of a gold standard. Thus, the application of remote smart rehabilitation systems is significantly hindered. This study analyzes the factors affecting the real‐time evaluation of muscle function based on biometric sensor data so that we can provide a basis for a remote system. We acquired real clinical stroke patient data to identify the meaningful features associated with normal and abnormal musculature. We provide a system based on these emerging features that assesses muscle functionality in real time via streamed biometric signal data. A system view based on the amount of data, data processing speed, and feature proportions is provided to support the production of a rudimentary remote smart rehabilitation system.

The formulation of the problem in this research is how to implement, obstacles and efforts to optimize the implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the implementation, obstacles and efforts to optimize the implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta. This study uses a post-positivism research paradigm with a qualitative descriptive method. In this study, there were 7 informants who were interviewed. The data analysis technique used is data reduction, data presentation and conclusion and verification. The results of this study concluded: (1) The implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta, was carried out by forming the Covid-19 Task Force based on the Decree of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Province Number 1023 of 2020 concerning the Task Force for Handling Covid-19 in DKI Jakarta Province. The North Jakarta Administrative City Covid-19 Task Force also appealed to all people to implement health protocols by implementing 3M, namely wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining distance and avoiding crowds. As for people who violate the rules will be subject to strict sanctions. (2) Obstacles in the implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta, include the low awareness and discipline of the community towards applicable regulations, as seen in the presence of places to eat that are open at night, places of worship that are still carrying out activities , the behavior of people who do not wear masks when outside the house,  in crowds and so on. In addition, the minimal budget and the inadequate number of law enforcement and enforcement supervisors are factors hindering the optimal implementation of the PSBB policy. (3) Efforts that need to be made to optimize the implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy in the Administrative City of North Jakarta, one of which is by forming a Task Force Team for the Acceleration of Handling Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) consisting of various stakeholders to provide understanding and outreach to the public about the PSBB policy. Next is to fulfill the availability of infrastructure or supporting facilities for the implementation of the PSBB policy in handling Covid-19, such as the availability of masks, disinfectant fluids and also the availability of complete and adequate rapid test equipment. Another anticipatory step is preventive action from the government, especially the Ministry of Health, which cooperates with immigration in monitoring and preventing the entry of new viruses from outside to Indonesia through screening people who come to Indonesia.

Authors: Luthfi Ahmad
Published: August 2023

Bank Muamalat is a pioneer of Islamic banking. With the existence of Bank Muamalat, other Islamic banks are now mushrooming. Besides that, Islamic banks promise to create economic stability.

Islamic banks are one of the avengers of punishment from Allah SWT for perpetrators of usury eating, and Islamic banks always invite people to stay away from eating usury. So avoid punishment.

Bank Muamalat always tries to be at the forefront of eradicating usury through its sharia banking. Bank Muamalat facilitates office space by building places of worship, such as small prayer rooms whose capacity is used according to the number of employees. Ordaining Islamic law not only limited to the problem of restricting usury, but it will always try to also adhere to other Islamic teachings, such as inviting employees to pray in the congregation when they are in the office, as well as temporarily closing office activities during prayer hours, such as at midday and midday prayers.

The impact of Da'wah in the field of Islamic Economics at Bank Muamalat can be felt today. With the Islamic economic approach as a medium of da'wah run by Bank Muamalat as a pioneer in Indonesia, we can see the spread of the Islamic system in various bank and non-bank financial institutions so that people can choose a service model. the services needed, whether banking, leasing, insurance, cooperatives, all exist with operational principles and sharia services.

Indicators of the role of Islamic economic da'wah in eradicating usury with the rise of bank and non-bank financial institutions, businesses, and sharia markets show that the influence of the sharia system has developed and grown widely in the people of the nation and state of Indonesia, so that it can be interpreted as the contribution of da'wah in eradicating usury has provided benefits to the Muslim community in particular, and the Indonesian people in general.

The contribution of the Islamic economy in eradicating usury by being the oldest bank that carries sharia principles, bank Muamalat has set an example for the Indonesian nation, how an Islamic financial institution whose work was doubtful at first, can survive decades and continue to grow to this day. To build an economy and finance based on Islamic religious law.

The aim of the present paper is to introduce two classes of open mappings using intuitionistic fuzzy supra open sets and semi-supra open sets in intuitionistic fuzzy supra topological spaces. It is nothing but, the image of intuitionistic fuzzy supra open set (resp. supra open) is intuitionistic fuzzy semi-supra closed set (resp. supra closed) in co-domain space. Moreover , a few of their significant properties have been studied. A necessary and sufficient condition for intuitionistic fuzzy supra contra semi-open mapping has been derived in terms of semi-supra closure and semi-supra interior. Also, the class of intuitionistic fuzzy supra contra open mappings is properly contained in that of intuitionistic fuzzy supra contra semi-open mappings has been investigated. Suitable examples have been given to establish that the reversible implications are lacking in general. A notion of intuitionistic fuzzy supra contra semi-homeomorphism has been defined and characterized.

In 1977,E.J.Cockayne and S.T. Hedetniemi conducted a commendable and broad survey on the outcomes of the existing concepts of dominating set in graphs. It’s basic concept is the dominating set and the domination number. In this paper our main aim is to find out the dominating parameters of Bipartite graph obtained on the Commutative ring of type Zn. A subset D of V is said to be a dominating set of G if every vertex in V-D is adjacent to a vertex in D. A bipartite graph is a graph G whose vertex set is partitioned into two disjoint subsets X and Y such that each edge in G has one end in X and the other end in Y. We determine the domination parameters i.e., domination number, dominating set and Minimum domination number of Bipartite graphs of the commutative ring Zn.

Material and Methods: A case-control study included 45 smoker’s patients with COVID-19 and 50 healthy subjects as a control group who visited Al-Basra Teaching Hospital and Allmwanei Hospital in Al-Basra province between October 2021 and February 2022. The age average for the study population was (25-80) years. Serum and blood levels of human CBC, ESR, CRP, Ferritin, D-Dimer, IL 6, Albumin, FBS, HbA1c, Troponin, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL, LDL, VLDL, Creatinine, Urea, Uric acid and GFR were measured. Results: The results show all biomarkers tend to have high sensitivity and specificity for smoker COVID patients based on the ROC curve analysis: Lymphocyte, CRP, Ferritin, D-Dimer, IL 6, Albumin, FBS, HDL, Creatinine, Urea, and GFR. These biomarkers might be helpful in determining the kind and severity of COVID-19 in smokers. Although the data is limited to a total number of patients. Conclusion: Studying patient alterations and vital signs led to the conclusion that smoking and COVID-19 are related. It was also verified that all vital indicators had strong sensitivity and specificity for smoking COVID patients.
