Resilience and Psychological Distress in Early Adulthood with Non-Suicidal Self-Injury: A Scoping Review
Authors: Amalia Atikah , Koesma Rismiyati E. , Roswiyani Roswiyani
Published: May 2024

According to Orenstein & Lewis (2021), young adults are at a transitional age and have demands on developmental tasks. When these demands are not met, it can cause feelings of suffering, activities that become obstacles and characterized by symptoms of anxiety and depression or called psychological disorders (Kalia & Knauft, 2020; Dharma et al, 2020). Psychological distress that are not balanced with adaptive problem solving can cause maladaptive distress, it called non-suicidal self-injury (Rahmasari, 2021). According to Hans et al (2022) bounce back is needed in young adults, so they can face the problem, or it called resilience. In the previous study by Khan & Ungar (2021), there were limited matters such as the search for coping strategies carried out by the sample in the study and protective factors from the emergence of self-harm and the non-specific definition of NSSI. Aims:identification research on resilience and psychological distress in young adults with NSSI. Method:scoping review. Result: 10 journals that met the inclusion criteria were selected. Hypothesis of this study is the results of the study indicate that the conditions of psychological distress in young adults with NSSI have low resilience and high levels of psychological distress. The benefits of this research theoretically are to enrich scientific references in the field of clinical psychology, especially regarding resilience and psychological disorders in young adults with NSSI and practically this research can be continued by taking into account several limitations and can be developed into interventions for young adults with NSSI.

Authors: Uysal İsmail , Özden Fatih , Özkeskin Mehmet , Tümtürk İsmet , Yucekaya Bircan , Kılınç Cem Yalın
Published: May 2024

Aim: The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of telehealth-based home exercises and conventionally prescribed home exercises in patients with degenerative meniscal tears.
Material and Method: A two-armed, randomized controlled study was conducted with 49 participants with degenerative meniscal disease. Patients were randomized into Telerehabilitation (TR=25) and Conventional Home Exercise Rehabilitation (CR=24) groups. The TR group provided video exercises and self-management education via an online platform. The same protocol was given to the CR group in the clinical setting. Pain with Visual Analog Scale, muscle strength with Hand-Held Dynamometer, proprioception with Baseline bubble inclinometer, functional status with Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, exercise adherence with Exercise Adherence Rating Scale, quality of life with Short Form-12 were evaluated at baseline and after eight weeks of intervention. In addition, satisfaction and usability were assessed with the Telemedicine Satisfaction and Usefulness Questionnaire at week 8.
Results: The TR group improved activity pain, proprioception, some parameters of the muscle strength outcomes, and exercise adherence scores (p0.05). In addition, 52 percent of the TR group reported high levels of satisfaction and usability.
Conclusion: Despite increased participation and satisfaction, the telerehabilitation group noticed improvements in clinician-based measures (proprioception, strength) but not in rest pain, function, and quality of life. As a result, telerehabilitation-based home exercises prescribed to these patient groups are more effective.

Authors: Argalı Denız Mine , Çiftçi Rukiye , Arpacı Muhammed Furkan , Şencan Demet
Published: May 2024

Aim: To evaluate the relationship between the 2nd and 4th finger measurement ratio (2d:4d) ratio of university students' internet addiction level through phone use.
Material and Method: 322 students were questioned about their demografic data, dominant extremity, and the device while using the internet. Hand width (HW), length (HL), grip strength (HGS), 2d:4d measurements were taken. Young Internet Addiction Scale (YIAS) was used for internet addiction, Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form (SAS) was used for smartphone addiction.
Results: In men, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of Right-Left HL, Left HGS, Right/4d, YIAS and SAS values. In addition, it was determined that the device preference, HL right, HL left, HGS left and Right/4d parameters originated from normal and dependent groups. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in women in terms of Left HL, Right/2d, Right/4d, Left/2d, Left/4d, Young and SAS values. It was determined that the device preference was due to individuals falling into the normal group of Left HL according to the YIAS, and the statistical difference of the Right/2d, Right/4d, Left/2d and Left/4d parameters. It was determined that there was a moderately strong negative correlation between SAS and Right/2d, Right/4d, Left/2d, Left/4d parameters in addicted men.
Conclusion: The gender relations of the accepted scales regarding phone and internet addiction may be due to the length of the left hand and the movement function of the right 4d to provide control in phone use, rather than the 2d:4d finger ratios.

Authors: Wijaya Sapondra , Susmini Susmini , Soewito Bambang , Wibowo Wahyu Dwi Ari
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Mechanical CPR mitigate rescuer fatigue and ensure adherence to guidelines, potentially enhancing overall survival rates. Contrarily, manual CPR relies on human skill, presenting challenges in maintaining uniformity and endurance. Unveiling the complexities within this juxtaposition becomes imperative in shaping future resuscitative paradigms. The purposeof studi is to determine the effectiveness of mechanical CPR in cardiac arrest management compared to manual CPRMethods: Database used were Pubmed and Proquest using the keywords "Mechanical CPR", "Automatic CPR Device" and "Cardiac Arrest". The inclusion criteria were last 5 years published, analyzing the effect of automatic CPR devices on cardiac arrest management, as well as full text articles. The inclusion criteria are literature review, systematic review or is not original research. The number of articles eligible for review is 10 journal articlesResults: The use of automatic CPR equipment is still inferior compared to manual CPR during cardiac arrest with the use value being 4-5% of all cardiac arrest patients. There are 4 journals that state that ROSC in cardiac arrest management using automatic CPR devices is higher than manual, but there are 2 journal articles that report the opposite. Automatic CPR device is very vulnerable to injury with fractures reaching 85.5% of total injuries compared to manual CPR which does not experience injury.Conclusion: The use of automatic CPR device does not produce better results than manual CPR overall for ROSC, but is very useful and meaningful in certain conditions such as during the transportation process, therefore, the automatic CPR device is more meaningful for pre-hospital useKeywords: Manual CPR; Mechanical CPR; CPR; OHCA
Post-new-horizons Orbits and Masses for the Satellites of Pluto
Authors: Brozović Marina , Jacobson Robert A.
Published: May 2024

We report on ephemerides for the satellites of Pluto based on the large set of astrometric measurements. Our orbit fit yielded the following masses with 1σ uncertainties: GM
Pluto = 869.3 ± 0.4 km3 s−2, GM
Charon = 106.1 ± 0.3 km3 s−2, GM
Nix = 1.50 ± 0.52 × 10−3 km3 s−2, GM
Hydra = 2.01 ± 0.27 × 10−3 km3 s−2, corresponding to the densities of ρ
Pluto = 1.853 ± 0.004 g cm−3, ρ
Charon = 1.705 ± 0.006 g cm−3, ρ
Nix = 0.88 ± 0.31 g cm−3, and ρ
Hydra = 1.21 ± 0.19 g cm−3. Masses of Kerberos and Styx remain unconstrained, and it is unlikely that we will be able to measure them even if we obtain abundant 1 mas precision astrometry during the next 20 yr. We summarize the results of orbit integration in terms of osculating and precessing ellipse model mean elements. All satellites reside in near-circular orbits, and Kerberos and Styx have 0.4 deg and 0.3 deg inclinations with respect to Charon’s orbit plane. The nodal regression periods for Kerberos and Hydra are ∼9 and ∼14 yr respectively. We found that Charon’s orbit pole can be approximated as: R.A. = 133.0073 + 0.0036T deg, and decl. = –6.2449 + 2.5 × 10−5
T deg, where T is Julian centuries from the epoch J2000, based on 5000 yr of orbit integration.
Investigating the Soft X-Ray Spectra of Solar Flare Onsets
Authors: Telikicherla Anant , Woods Thomas N. , Schwab Bennet D.
Published: May 2024

In this study, we present the analysis of six solar flare events that occurred in 2022, using new data from the third-generation Miniature X-Ray Solar Spectrometer, also known as the Dual-zone Aperture X-ray Solar Spectrometer (DAXSS). The primary focus of this study is on the flare’s onset phase, which is characterized by elevated soft X-ray emissions even before the flare’s impulsive phase. We analyze the temporal evolution of plasma temperature, emission measure, and elemental abundance factors during the flare onset phase by fitting the DAXSS spectra with the Astrophysical Plasma Emission Code model. The model fitting results indicate that the flaring plasma is already at a high temperature (10–15 MK) during the onset period. The temperature rises during the onset phase, followed by a decrease and subsequent increase during the impulsive phase. Elemental abundance factors show a trend of falling below preflare values during the onset phase, with some recovery before the impulsive phase. During the impulsive phase, the abundance factors decrease from elevated coronal values to about photospheric values. We also analyze images from the 193 Å channel of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), highlighting the formation or brightening of coronal loop structures during the onset phase. Two distinct onset loop configurations are observed, which are referred to as one-loop and two-loop onsets. Both DAXSS and AIA observations indicate that the flare onset phase exhibits hot coronal plasma properties similar to those of the impulsive phase, suggesting that the onset phase may act as a preconditioning effect for some flares.

Solar active regions (ARs) contain a broad range of temperatures, with the thermal plasma distribution often observed to peak in the few millions of kelvin. Differential emission measure (DEM) analysis can allow instruments with diverse temperature responses to be used in concert to estimate this distribution. Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray (NuSTAR) hard X-ray (HXR) observations are uniquely sensitive to the highest-temperature components of the corona, and thus extremely powerful for examining signatures of reconnection-driven heating. Here, we use NuSTAR diagnostics in combination with extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray observations (from the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly and Hinode/X-Ray Telescope) to construct DEMs over 170 distinct time intervals during a 5 hr observation of an alternately flaring and quiet active region (NOAA designation AR 12712). This represents the first HXR study to examine the time evolution of the distribution of thermal plasma in an AR. During microflares, we find that the initial microflare-associated plasma heating is predominantly heating of material that is already relatively hot, followed later on by broader heating of initially cooler material. During quiescent times, we show that the amount of extremely hot (>10 MK) material in this region is significantly (∼2–4 orders of magnitude) less than that found in the quiescent AR observed in HXRs by FOXSI-2. This result implies there can be radically different high-temperature thermal distributions in different ARs, and strongly motivates future HXR DEM studies covering a large number of these regions.
Diet, sexual dimorphism, and fertility aspects of Melanophryniscus fulvoguttatus (Mertens, 1937) from Central-East Brazil

Published: May 2024

Melanophryniscus fulvoguttatus is a small toad that inhabits the Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, and humid Chaco of South America. Due to its aposematic coloration and behavior, it is a species that may present chemical defenses such as alkaloids and a restricted diet similar to other species of the genus. Although it was described in the early 20th century, there is still little information on its natural history and ecology. Here, we described the diet, tested the sexual dimorphism, and calculated the fertility index of M. fulvoguttatus based on a sample of eight males and 21 females from a population within the Cerrado. Sexual dimorphism was assessed using 15 morphometric measures; diet was calculated as an index of relative importance by prey item and tested for sex differences; fertility was tested for relations between body size and the number of eggs; and we also estimated the reproductive investment. Our results demonstrate that this population’s diet consisted mostly of ant species, with Pheidole radoszkowskii being the most important, followed by Crematogaster sp. and Cyphomyrmex transversus. Regarding sexual dimorphism, we observed that females were significantly larger than males, with a positive relationship between female size and the number of eggs. We did not find significant differences in the diets of males and females. Although the diet and reproductive aspects of M. fulvoguttatus are similar to those of its congeneric species, further studies are needed in order to address the relationship between the species diet and its chemical defenses.
Morphometric characteristics of block streams: A case study of the Vladayska River basin, Vitosha Mountain (Bulgaria)
Authors: Bozhkov Petko
Published: May 2024

Block streams, also known as stone rivers, are common periglacial landforms in the alpine and subalpine zone of the Balkan Peninsula. These features are especially widely spread in the valleys, slopes and summit of Vitosha Mountain. The presented research aims to estimate the total area of block streams and perform morphometric analysis of these landforms within the basin of Vladayska River. Block streams are digitized man-ually from orthophotographs and topographic maps using GIS software. Morphometric parameters such as area, length, width, elongation ratio and mean elevation are calcu-lated or extracted from a digital elevation model for each polygon. A linear regression test was conducted to evaluate the relationship between morphometric properties. Results indicate a significant correlation between the area and perimeter (R2 = 0.93) and between the length and width (R2 = 0.94) of the block streams. Block streams are present in the elevation range between 1177 and 2244 m, covering a total area of 169.7 ha. The largest ones occupy the area of Zlatnite Mostove and Yurushki Most, as well as the vicinity of Cherni Vrah Peak. Their length varies from 5–6 m up to 2.2 km, while their width changes from a few meters up to 0.6–0.7 km. Comparisons between block streams from different sites within the catchment area yield new insights into the diver-sity of these landforms. Their dimensions and spatial distribution are key to understand-ing the processes of their formation and evolution.

On mathematical modelling of measles disease via collocation approach
Authors: Ahmed Shahid , Jahan Shah , Shah Kamal , Abdeljawad Thabet
Published: May 2024

Measles, a highly contagious viral disease, spreads primarily through respiratory droplets and can result in severe complications, often proving fatal, especially in children. In this article, we propose an algorithm to solve a system of fractional nonlinear equations that model the measles disease. We employ a fractional approach by using the Caputo operator and validate the model's by applying the Schauder and Banach fixed-point theory. The fractional derivatives, which constitute an essential part of the model can be treated precisely by using the Broyden and Haar wavelet collocation methods (HWCM). Furthermore, we evaluate the system's stability by implementing the Ulam-Hyers approach. The model takes into account multiple factors that influence virus transmission, and the HWCM offers an effective and precise solution for understanding insights into transmission dynamics through the use of fractional derivatives. We present the graphical results, which offer a comprehensive and invaluable perspective on how various parameters and fractional orders influence the behaviours of these compartments within the model. The study emphasizes the importance of modern techniques in understanding measles outbreaks, suggesting the methodology's applicability to various mathematical models. Simulations conducted by using MATLAB R2022a software demonstrate practical implementation, with the potential for extension to higher degrees with minor modifications. The simulation's findings clearly show the efficiency of the proposed approach and its application to further extend the field of mathematical modelling for infectious illnesses.
Claudien : Un ‘épyllion’ de la victoire et un panégyrique ‘miroir du prince’
Authors: Charlet Jean‑Louis
Published: May 2024

On compare les deux derniers poèmes politiques de Claudien (la Guerre des Gètes, épopée en miniature, et le Panégyrique pour le sixième consulat d’Honorius, panégyrique miroir du prince) pour démontrer qu’au début de l’année 404 Claudien a cru pouvoir ou devoir exprimer clairement son paganisme culturel, lié à son grand amour pour Roma aeterna, qui n’apparaissait qu’en filigrane dans ses poèmes politiques antérieurs.
Serpents et dragons dans les premières vies de saint latines (IVe-VIe siècles)
Authors: Bret Florence
Published: May 2024

Cet article propose d’étudier le traitement et
le rôle narratif des créatures reptiliennes dans les premières vies de
saints latines, de Jérôme à Grégoire le Grand (IVe‑VIe siècles). En effet, si les serpents et
les dragons, alors deux versions d’une même espèce, sont nombreux dans
l’hagiographie tardo‑antiques, ils ne semblent pas recouper les
descriptions des monstres contre lesquels luttent les saints
sauroctones médiévaux. L’étude des scènes représentant des reptiles
révèle qu’il n’existe pas de traitement uni de ces figures
animalières, qu’elles soient réelles ou de simples apparitions.
Qu’elles soient clairement associées au diable ou plus proches des
reptiles des mythes classiques ou du folklore local, elles doivent
être combattues et repoussées pour étendre le monde des hommes et de
Dieu. À la fin de la période, toutefois, se dessinent les premiers
traits d’une autoréférentialité générique, impliquant que le topos commence à être pensé
en tant que tel, ce qui ouvre la voie au tueur de dragon médiéval.
Hamlet, a genre-bending revenge tragedy? – Act 1 scene 2
Authors: Hiscock Andrew
Published: May 2024

This article concentrates on an early, but strategic scene in Shakespeare’s celebrated tragedy in which the audience is introduced to the court world of Elsinore and to the protagonist himself. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which Shakespeare’s innovative text tests early modern expectations of revenge tragedy as well as incorporating those associated with rhetoric and pedagogy in the period. The article ends demonstrating the international political emphasis of this scene as well as the unexpected continuities in self-representation between the leading male figures onstage.
La scène des portraits au théâtre, à la radio et à l’écran : Kenneth Branagh et cinq Hamlets sous influence
Authors: Hatchuel Sarah
Published: May 2024

Focalisé sur la séquence des portraits (scène du boudoir, acte III scène iv, où Hamlet montre à Gertrude le portrait de son ancien mari et celui du nouveau), cet article analyse le parcours de l’acteur-auteur Kenneth Branagh à travers cinq productions d’Hamlet où il a joué le personnage éponyme (RADA 1980 ; Renaissance 1988 ; BBC Radio 1992 ; RSC 1993 ; Castle Rock Films 1996). Les séquences seront étudiées comme des carrefours d’influences contradictoires, entre interprétation violente et sexualisée (Olivier, Zeffirelli) et jeu retenu et menaçant (Kozintsev), entre prise en compte de l’expérience d’un mentor (Derek Jacobi) et fascination pour un acteur hollywoodien (James Cagney). Nous montrerons que l’interprétation de Branagh, à la fois personnelle et collective, évolue de 1980 à 1996, dans une prise en compte à la fois du médium et des multiples sources d’influence de l’acteur-auteur.

Cet article se propose dans un premier temps de repérer les aspérités, dysfonctionnements, voire incohérences, dans les variantes textuelles d’Hamlet, et en particulier dans la scène III.4, dès lors on les traite dans la perspective d’une mise en scène contemporaine. En s’inspirant par analogie de principes et de notions venus des sciences qui étudient les phénomènes chaotiques, l’article montre comment ces imperfections ou perturbations par rapport à l’ordre dominant la pièce plutôt que de la fragiliser peuvent au contraire devenir la source et le support d’une transformation bénéfique du matériau pour son interprétation scénique.
Hamlet or Shakespeare’s Anatomy of Death
Authors: Du Verger Jean
Published: May 2024

The final act of Hamlet (c. 1600) opens on an uncanny scene in which the young prince is contemplating Yorick’s skull, while he ponders upon the mysteries of life and death. The graveyard scene constitutes ‘an extended interlude’ (Belsey, 37, 1997) in the play with its extensive meditation on mortality. This article offers a critical reassessment of how Shakespeare strips away the characters’ outward persona to expose the reality of the world of death. The play is informed with strong iconographical, philosophical, spiritual and theatrical resonances of death raising the dramaturgical issue of staging death on the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage. Moreover, these echoes and reverberations convey a rather accurate picture of one’s perception and understanding of death in Renaissance England. Much in the same way the anatomist’s ruthless scalpel reveals the secrets of the human body, the playwright’s pen bares the hidden truths of death as it does away with the false representations and appearances of the mundane world, rendering the invisible, visible.

During menarche and adolescence, abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) may serve as a crucial indicator of a hidden bleeding disorder. When a young woman is suspected of having a bleeding disorder, the obstetrician-gynecologist should collaborate with a hemostasis specialist to arrange the necessary laboratory testing and determine the best course of action. The Italian Society for the Study of Hemostasis and Thrombosis and the Italian Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics jointly offer recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of AUB. They also suggest diagnostic and therapeutic pathways to decrease diagnostic delay and improve treatment effectiveness and safety.

Introduction:

Mandibular fractures are common injuries during maxillofacial trauma, and currently, open reduction and internal fixation are considered gold-standard treatments. There is a wide discussion about which plates give the best outcomes. Hence, we are conducting a biomechanical comparison of two plates for mandibular symphysis and angle fracture with finite element analysis (FEA). The aim of this study was to do a comparative study of FEA between the conventional and our new modified three-dimensional (3D) strut miniplate in mandibular fractures at symphysis and angle regions.

Materials and Methods:

Finite element models of symphyseal and angle fractures of the mandible were developed. Each fracture model was then realigned and fixed by the conventional method 2.0 mm system, and our modified 3D strut plating method 2.0 mm system followed by the analysis of various stresses developed in plates and mandibular fracture area after application of load was observed in the study.

Results:

The modified 3D strut plating system with 2.0 mm miniplates is significantly better in preventing displacement of fracture segments by better distribution of forces compared to the conventional plating system. Rest of the parameters were within the permitted limits.

Discussion:

Modified 3D strut plating method was reasonably effective and superior in managing force-displacement compared to the conventional method of fixation for comminuted and unfavourable mandibular symphyseal fracture and angle fracture.

Published: May 2024

Objective:

To address the phylogenetic and phylogeographic relationship between different lineages of Anopheles (An.) subpictus species complex in most parts of the Asian continent by maximum utilization of Internal Transcriber Spacer 2 (ITS2) and cytochrome C oxidase I (COI) sequences deposited at the GenBank.

Methods:

Seventy-five ITS2, 210 COI and 26 concatenated sequences available in the NCBI database were used. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using Bayesian likelihood trees, whereas median-joining haplotype networks and time-scale divergence trees were generated for phylogeographic analysis. Genetic diversity indices and genetic differentiation were also calculated.

Results:

Two genetically divergent molecular forms of An. subpictus species complex corresponding to sibling species A and B are established. Species A evolved around 37-82 million years ago in Sri Lanka, India, and the Netherlands, and species B evolved around 22-79 million years ago in Sri Lanka, India, and Myanmar. Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia have two molecular forms: one is phylogenetically similar to species B. Other forms differ from species A and B and evolved recently in the above mentioned countries, Indonesia and the Philippines. Genetic subdivision among Sri Lanka, India, and the Netherlands is almost absent. A substantial genetic differentiation was obtained for some populations due to isolation by large geographical distances. Genetic diversity indices reveal the presence of a long-established stable mosquito population, at mutation-drift equilibrium, regardless of population fluctuations.

Conclusions:

An. subpictus species complex consists of more than two genetically divergent molecular forms. Species A is highly divergent from the rest. Sri Lanka and India contain only species A and B.
Integrating the Human Dimension in Marine Spatial Planning: Lessons from Karimunjawa National Park, Indonesia

Published: May 2024

Integrating the human dimension in Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) has been a primary challenge for MSP practices worldwide. One of the main issues in MSP is meaningful participation. However, there is an empirical gap regarding how participation functions and its relationship to achieving social sustainability goals. This paper aims to answer this question by studying MSP in Karimunjawa National Park, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive research approach was used for the data collection and analysis. The results highlight that participation in Karimunjawa provides captivating alternatives in terms of participation, specifically in the areas of planning and management. We conclude that participation in management can mitigate the negative effects resulting from the lack of participation in planning, which may be constrained by factors such as knowledge and power gaps, as well as time limitations. The case-study findings also indicate that community responsibility towards the environment is closely related to their authority in regulating the utilisation of resources.

The Effect of Yoga Intervention on Psychological Symptoms, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in People with Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Neto Mansueto Gomes , Saquetto Michelli Bernardone , Roever Leonardo , Carvalho Vitor Oliveira
Published: May 2024

Background:

Whether yoga is effective in the cardiac rehabilitation of people with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains controversial.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of yoga intervention on psychological symptoms, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and major cardiovascular risk factors in people with CAD.

Methods:

We searched MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (from the earliest date available to July 2023). Mean difference (MD), standardized MD (SMD), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated.

Results:

Seventeen studies, with 5,698 patients, met the study criteria. Compared to control (no exercise), yoga resulted in improved depression MD −0.83 (95% CI: −1.35 to −0.31), stress MD −3.83 (95% CI: −4.8 to 2.86), HRQoL SMD 1.48 (95% CI: 0.55 to 2.4), major cardiovascular risk factors (peak VO2 MD 1.7 mL/kg/min [95% CI: 0.2 to 3.3], systolic blood pressure MD −3.2 mmHg [95% CI: −5.9 to −0.5], and diastolic blood pressure MD −2.42 mmHg [95% CI: −4.08 to −0.76]).

Conclusions:

Yoga was effective in the improvement of psychological symptoms, HRQoL, and cardiovascular risk factors.

Authors: Amiri Hoda , Yazdanparast Khadijeh , Pourkhosravani Mohsen , Rastegar Maryam
Published: May 2024

Objective:

To investigate the distribution pattern of animal bites in Mirjaveh, Iran from 2015 to 2020.

Methods:

The data on animal bites were collected from the Department of Infectious Diseases, the provincial health center. Monthly climatic data on precipitation and temperature during the study period were also collected. The correlation between incidence and temperature, precipitation rate, land type, and altitude was also analyzed.

Results:

The results showed that men were more affected by animal bites than women (76.4%, P<0.001), and the highest incidence rate occurred in the age group of 5-19 years. The incidence rate of animal bites was found to be correlated with temperature and altitude. An increase in temperature was associated with a rise in the incidence rate of animal bites. The number of animal bites increased until 2019, possibly due to an increase in the number of dogs in the area.

Conclusions:

Targeted interventions should be implemented to reduce the incidence of animal bites, particularly among children, housewives, and students. Improving access to appropriate treatments, increasing public awareness of the hazards of animal bites, and increasing the number of vaccinated dogs in the area are essential strategies to be considered.

Sepsis and septic shock are life-threatening conditions that are globally responsible for almost 20% of mortality, especially in low and middle-income countries. This review was conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar databases with keywords sepsis, septic shock, sepsis management, and sepsis complications. Articles published up to July 2023 in English were included. Diagnosis and management should be carried out without unnecessary delay. Cooperation between various medical specialties including intensive care doctors, neurologists, hepatologists, cardiologists, and pediatric doctors is needed if a child is affected. New strategies have to be implemented in low and middle-income countries to decrease the sepsis incidence and reduce mortality in the population.
