Authors: Dionisius Barai Putra  , Firmanto Antonius Denny
Published: February 2023

Spiritualitas kaum muda di era digital sangat penting. Apalagi di tengah kemajuan teknologi yang memberikan kemudahan bagi kaum muda dalam mencari berbagi informasi yang mereka perlukan. Melihat kemudahan seperti ini kaum muda secara perlahan kurang menyadari tentang spiritualitas. Kurangnya kesadaran kaum muda dalam menghidupi spiritualitas di tengah zaman ini di pengaruhi oleh beberapa aspek salah satunya aspek internal. Dimana kaum muda lebih senang dengan dunianya sendiri daripada bergaul dengan orang-orang disekitarnya. Namun pergaulan mereka cendrung pada orang yang lama daripada orang yang baru. Hal ini yang membuat mereka terjebak dalam dunia teknologi, sehingga membuat sikap mereka menjadi individualis atau suka dengan dunia sendiri. Sikap seperti ini menjadi sebuah persoalan dalam mewujudkan spiritualitas di tengah dunia teknologi sekarang. Metode penulisan yang digunakan adalah literature review dengan menggunakan sumber buku dan jurnal. Selain itu menggunakan Kuesioner untuk lebih mengetahui pemahaman kaum muda tentang spiritualitas di era digital. Tujuan dari penulisan ini melihat problem yang dialami oleh kaum muda tentang spiritualitas, di era digital ini. Spiritualitas adalah sikap yang sebenarnya harus mereka miliki secara penuh. Namun mereka mulai kurang menyadari betapa pentingnya spiritualitas di tengah kehidupann mereka sebagai penerus bangsa dan gereja di zaman ini. Dalam penulisan ini penulis juga menemukan bahwa kaum muda masih memiliki sikap individualis. Sikap seperti ini dilihat dari beberapa sumber yang kaitannya dengan topic ini. Maka dalam menghidupi spiritualitas ini harus memiliki relasi, kerendahan hati dan kesadaran dari kaum muda di era digital. Hal tersebut akan sangat membantu kaum muda di tengah dunia teknologi sekarang.

Published: February 2023

Several studies revealed that Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp, known as bay leaves, has the potential to be used as herbal medicine due to its active compounds including flavonoids. Herbal medicines are chosen to replace synthetic drugs which have side effects on health. However, some active substances of herbal medicines including bay leaves are less soluble in water and have low bioavailability to be absorbed by the intestine is low. A formulation into nanoparticles will provide more effective results. This study aimed to develop a standardized herbal medicine from the bay leaves extract in nanoparticle form with fine quality and efficacious in lowering blood glucose levels. The nanoparticle formulation was conducted using the ionic gelation method with chitosan- tripolyphosphate base and was designed into pre- and post-test-controlled group designs. Wistar white rats (Rattus norvegicus) were used as the experimental animal and grouped into a negative control group, normal control group, positive control (Glibenclamide) groups, and test dosages-induced control group. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured using an enzymatic glucometer and the AUC was analyzed based on the trapezoidal formula statistically using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed that the bay leaves contained secondary metabolite including flavonoid with concentrations at 96%, 70%, 50%, respectively. The nanoparticles sizes were 1.48%; 1.62%; 1.50%; and 0.03%, respectively. The average particle size was 549.2 nm, and the zeta potential was -40.2 mV. Nanoparticle administration at a dose of 426.80 mg/kg BW; 213.40 mg/kg BW; and 106.70 mg/kg BW showed decreasing blood glucose levels when compared to the positive control group but not significant (P>0.005). The smallest dose of nanoparticle extract that lowered blood glucose levels was at a dose of 106.70 mg/kg BW. It can be concluded the nanoparticles form of bay leaves extract can lower blood glucose levels and meets the quality requirements.
Results of the total wrist arthrodesis with contoured plate in a series of 41 wrists with median follow-up of 6 years
Authors: Rodríguez-Nogué Luis , Martínez-Villén Gregorio
Published: February 2023

We present a comparative analysis between the pre and postoperative status of 41 wrists subjected to total arthrodesis with contoured plate, analysing the functional and radiological results, subjective satisfaction and return to work. The indications for surgery were post-traumatic arthritis (56.1%), Kien- böck’s disease (17.1%), rheumatic disease (14.6%) or other reasons (12.2%). In 75.6% of the procedures, proximal row carpectomy took place prior to or at the same time as the surgical fusion procedure. The median follow-up was 6 years. Postoperatively, pain decreased by 7.5 points on the Visual Analogue Scale and grip strength increased by 6.3 kg. The improve- ment in the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand was 43.5 points and 53.2 in the Patient- Rated Wrist Evaluation. All changes were statistically significant. There were postoperative complications in 14.6% of the arthrodesis procedures. Radiocarpal fusion was complete in 97.6% of cases. Finally, 62.5% of patients were able to return to work, with 92.5% being satisfied or very satisfied. These results allow us to conclude that, in the medium term, total wrist arthrodesis with contoured plate is a reliable and safe technique for the treatment of advanced radiocarpal arthritis.
Improving postoperative analgesia in hallux valgus surgery: oral opioids suppression by addition of a single transdermal fentanyl patch: a prospective evaluation
Authors: Vandeputte Geoffroy , Eeckhoudt Annelies , Van Opstal Nick , Victor Jan
Published: February 2023

The last decade there is an exponential increase in opioid related deaths. This is proven to be correlated with the rising medical prescription rates of strong opioids. We investigated whether pain after hallux valgus surgery under popliteal nerve block could be adequately controlled without the prescription of oral opioids, with a single transdermal fentanyl patch. In this prospective observational study with 100 patients undergoing corrective first metatarsal osteotomies we prospectively investigated the adverse effects and need for extra pain medication. The transdermal fentanyl patch was applied one hour before surgery, prior to the ultrasound guided popliteal nerve block. Patients filled out a questionnaire every 6 hours to evaluate the pain [VAS-score], nausea [PONV-score], activity [acivity and ambulation score] and the intake of extra medication.

Postoperative pain was well controlled [Mean VAS 2,53]. The maximum mean VAS score [3.93] was recorded 36 hours postoperatively. 63.8% of patients had less pain than expected. No major adverse effects were reported by the patients. Nausea was mainly mild and the majority of patients reported ‘no effect’ or ‘sometimes’ effect on daily activities.

In an era where surgeons need to be aware of the threat of overuse of strong opioids, the use of a single transdermal fentanyl patch in combination with an ultrasound guided nerve block can be a good alternative in hallux valgus surgery. The use of the patch seems to obviate the need for oral opioids after discharge. Nausea and vomiting were a concern – as expected –, but only at 24 and 36 hours. On the other hand nausea did not seem to affect activity, as there was a gradual increase in activity score over time.

Published: February 2023

This study aims to present our results for limb sal- vage in Gustilo IIIC open fractures of the femur and tibia. 92 patients with Gustilo IIIC fractures operated in our clinic between January 2000 and March 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic data, ischemia time, method of arterial repair, means of primary and secondary fixation, time to amputation, complications, and final VAS scores were recorded. The difference between the primary amputation rates of tibia and femur fractures was not statisti- cally significant (18% vs 21%, p>0.05). The difference between the secondary amputation rates of tibia and femur fractures was not significant (16% vs 27%, p>0.05). All secondary amputations were done within the first month during the initial hospital stay. Overall limb salvage rate was 69% for Gustilo IIIC fractures of the femur and 58% for Gustilo IIIC fractures of the tibia. The overall limb salvage rate was not signifi- cantly different between the two groups (p>0.05). At the final follow-up, patients in the limb salvage group had average VAS scores of 4.3 (femur) and 4.7 (tibia). The decision between amputation versus limb salvage remains a difficult decision that should be jointly made by the treating physicians and the patient.
Distal fixation modular stem hemiarthroplasty versus proximal femoral nailing for unstable intertrochanteric fractures: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Çelen Zekeriya Ersin , Gazi Oktay
Published: February 2023

The treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures (UITF) is a controversial issue in the current literature. The aim of this study was to compare the curative effects of distal fixation modular stem (DFMS) hemiarthroplasty with proximal femoral nailing (PFN) on UITFs in the elderly. From February 2017 to November 2019, 98 elderly (≥65 years) patients with UITF were included in this single-center retrospective cohort study. Mean follow-up duration was 24.1±11.9 months. Patients were divided into the DFMS group (52 patients) and the PFN group (46 patients). In the DFMS group, trochanteric fixation was performed using a trochanteric cable plate system. Primary outcome measures included Harris hip score (HHS), mobility score, implant related complications and mortality. Secondary outcome measures included hospitalization duration, surgical time and transfusion rate. Mean age of the patients was 78.7±7.2 years (65-96 years). DFMS group had longer surgical time, higher transfusion rates and longer hospital stays (p<0.05). Mean HHS was 80.7±10.5 and 81.9±12.2 in the DFMS group and PFN group, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of HHS, mobility score and mortality. Implant failure rates were significantly higher in the PFN group (p=0.015). Implant failure, one year mortality and overall mortality rates were 0%, 15.4% and 17.3% in DFMS group and 10.9%, 15.2% and 19.5% in PFN group, respectively. Both surgical methods can be effectively used in the treatment of UITFs with similar satisfactory functional results and similar mortality rates. In addition, the DFMS group exhibited significantly lower implant failure rates and PFN group provided significantly lower surgical time duration, transfusion rate and hospital stay duration.

Authors: Ramírez-Carrasco Soledad , Fernández-Sánchez Percy
Published: February 2023

In this work, inspired by the technique of the complete transversal, used for the classification of plane branches, developed by Hefez, A. and Hernandes, M., as well as Bruce, J.W., Kirk, N.P. and du Plesis, A.A., study the singularities of applications, we establish a classification of vector fields through their normal forms. In the case of vector fields with non zero linear part in $(\mathbb{C}^{2}, 0) $ and nilpotent fields in $(\mathbb {C}^{n}, 0), n\geq 2$ we recover the classical normal forms for those fields, and we provide a formal normal form different from Takens in dimension 2. Likewise, we obtain the normal form for the vector fields in $(\mathbb{C},0)$ of any multiplicity.

Authors: El Ouaarabi Mohamed , Allalou Chakir , Melliani Said
Published: February 2023

In the present paper, in view of the topological degree methods and the theory of the variable exponent Sobolev spaces, we discuss a Dirichlet boundary value problem for elliptic equations involving the $(p(x),q(x))$-Laplacian operator with a reaction term depending on the gradient and on two real parameters. Under certain assumptions, we establish the existence of at least one weak solution to this problem. Our results extends some recent work in the literature.

Authors: DarAssi Mahmoud , Safi Mohammad
Published: February 2023

The global dynamics of a discrete SEIR epidemic model with treatment has been considered. A unique positive solution for the proposed model with the positive initial conditions is obtained. The stability analysis of the disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium have been investigated. It has been proved that the DFE is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0\leq1$. The proposed model has a unique endemic equilibrium that is globally asymptotically stable whenever $\tilde{\mathcal{R}}_0>1$. The theoretical results are illustrated by a numerical simulation.

Published: February 2023

Majority of the modern medicines are derived from bioactive constituents of medicinal plants. The current investigation was designed to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of leaves of Ricinus communis L. Qualitative analysis of phytochemicals viz. tannins, phlobatannins, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, coumarin, terpenoids and cardiac glycosides and quantitative analysis of total phenolics, alkaloids, tannins and flavonoids were performed by using standard protocol. Antioxidant activity was studied through DPPH, ABTS, phosphomolybdenum and reducing power assay. To confirm the phytoconstituents of the leaf extracts, Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was followed. In the present study, qualitative and quantitative analysis revealed the presence of major class of phytochemicals. Quantitative analysis of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and phenols were 32.28 ± 0.28 mg/g, 256.29 ± 0.21 mg QE/g, 175.59 ± 0.78 mg TAE/g, 273.35 ± 2.33 mg GAE/g respectively. The extract showed a good scavenging activity with DPPH (84.22 ± 0.81 %) and the GC-MS chromatogram revealed the presence of 23 peaks with different compounds and Ricinine was found to be the major compound. The presence of these bioactive molecules in R. communis may provide the scientific evidences for the medicinal value and other biological properties.

Published: February 2023

Background: The sclera is the outer strong opaque covering of the eye that functions as protective layer and provides site for attachment of extra ocular muscles. Aim: To study the microscopic anatomy of sclera in chick at various stages of embryological development keeping in mind the practical application of this information in understanding human development and disease processes. Methodology: It was an experimental study. The study was carried out at department of Anatomy, CPSP Regional Centre, Islamabad. Eyeballs were collected from group A, B and C (n=30 each) on day 10, 12 and 15 of incubation respectively. Dissected out tissues were processed and stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin and Alizarin red. The prepared specimens for group A and C were analysed under light microscope while the specimens from group B were observed via stereomicroscope. Data was evaluated by using SPSS version 23. Independent t-test was applied with p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: As the chondrocytes in cartilaginous layer of sclera became mature, they change their shape from flattened to more rounded cells. The proteoglycan content in the cartilaginous matrix increased. The mean number of chondrocytes increased from 17.4 ±1.4/unit area on day 10 to 10.0 ±0.8/unit area on day 15. The mean thickness of cartilaginous layer increased from 44 ±2.4µm on day 10 to 77 ±8.3 µm on day 15 of development. Calcification of scleral ossicles became obvious at about 12 days of incubation when seen under stereomicroscope. Practical Implication: This study highlighted that understanding for the development of scleral elements (understudied tissue of the eye) can be critical in research involving autoimmune diseases and neural crest defects. Considering similar developmental stages among humans as in chick embryo. Conclusion: It was concluded that growth of sclera in eye of chick has been indicated by increase in thickness of its layers and increase in the number of chondrocytes/unit area and progressing calcification of ossicles in its bony part. Keywords: Chick Embryo, Chondrocytes, Hyaline Cartilage and Ossicular Ring.

In this study, 88 patients with pancreatic cancer who were treated at our hospital between January 2021 and January 2022 were recruited and allocated 1:1 either to receive into routine nursing care (n=44, routine group) or interdisciplinary specialist nursing care (n=44, study group). The outcome measures in both groups included surgery-related indices, short and long-term quality of life, and adverse responses. Results: There were no participants who dropped out of this study due to treatment intolerance, nor were there any additional participants. Patients in the study group had significantly shorter recovery time from gastrointestinal function, bed rest and hospital stay than those in the conventional group (P<0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the quality of life between the two groups (P>0.05); 3 months and 1 year after the intervention, the quality of life of patients in the study group was higher than that of patients in the conventional group (P<0.05). The overall incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the study group than in the conventional group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Multidisciplinary specialized nursing care produces an ideal clinical outcome for postoperative patients with pancreatic cancer. It substantially reduces recovery time, boosts short and long-term postoperative quality of life, and diminishes the incidence of adverse reactions in patients. This protocol merits clinical application.

Published: February 2023

Objective: Virtual healthcare technologies are becoming increasingly acceptable and available to patients and providers to deliver care. Although common in practice settings, many nursing schools have not integrated virtual care concepts into the curriculum. One reason may be because faculty are not prepared to teach these concepts. The purpose of this study was to assess the virtual healthcare learning needs of faculty. Methods: An exploratory, descriptive study design was used to evaluate faculty receptiveness and readiness to teach virtual nursing care concepts. Thirty-seven full time faculty members were asked to complete an anonymous survey consisting of demographic, open-ended, and Likert scale items based on the technology acceptance model, the Virtual Clinical Practicum Attitude Survey, and the Evidence-Based Practice Beliefs scale. Quantitative data was evaluated using descriptive statistics and qualitative data with a thematic analysis process. Results: Twenty-two faculties completed a survey regarding their beliefs about virtual healthcare technologies. Most respondents believe that virtual care improves access for patients and that students should have training in these technologies. However, few had used virtual technology in their own clinical practices and wanted further education about them. Faculty was receptive to integrating virtual care into the curriculum and reported their learning needs could be met through didactic content and simulation activities with faculty as learners. Conclusion: An opportunity exists to prepare faculty to teach virtual healthcare concepts. Addressing faculty learning needs could aid in the successful integration of virtual healthcare concepts into the curriculum, thus, better preparing students to deliver virtual care to their future patients.

Digital learning is a broad umbrella of any form of learning incorporating novel digital technology aspects in teaching and assessment to facilitate learning and engage students. Most education settings have moved from face–to–face to e-learning platforms worldwide ever since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Assessment of the efficiency of digital learning is essential, and assessment criteria may take several forms. Digital learning effectiveness assessment has received a significant amount of attention and work; nevertheless, a generalized quantitative evaluation model that considers the inter-affected link among criteria and the uncertainty of personal perception simultaneously is still absent. In this study, the hybrid MCDM model that was suggested handles the independent relations of assessment criteria with factor analysis, and it addresses the dependency relations of assessment via the use of AHP. The AHP and neutrosophic integral approaches are used for the purpose of creating synthetic usefulness in line with the environment of subjective perception. This quantitative research study explores students’ readiness to continue utilizing e-learning while measuring satisfaction levels with the e-learning system among higher education students in the Gulf area. Moreover, students’ behavior intention is measured here. Descriptive analysis was opted to achieve the aim of the study. Data analysis demonstrated that higher education students showed medium to high readiness levels towards e-learning and were identified with a medium level of satisfaction with the e-learning system. Moreover, students demonstrated a high intent to utilize the e-learning platform in case of offering parallel e-learning courses in the future.
Strengthening Pathways Into the Teaching Profession in Texas: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Bland Jennifer A. , Wojcikiewicz Steven W. , Darling-Hammond Linda , Wei Wesley
Published: February 2023

Systemic challenges for the Texas teacher workforce result from a large yearly demand for new teachers, exacerbated by high and climbing teacher attrition rates. As a result of these challenges, a large majority of new teachers are now hired before they complete preparation. Assigned disproportionately to students from low-income families and students of color, these less-prepared teachers are demonstrably less effective and less likely to stay than fully prepared teachers, stimulating further shortages. This study examines these conditions; describes the substantial work underway in Texas to address teacher shortages and stabilize the teacher workforce; and synthesizes evidence about policy interventions that can help address the key factors influencing workforce stability. These include investing in high-quality preparation models; reducing financial barriers to entry for teacher candidates; increasing teacher compensation; supporting improvements to teacher induction and working conditions; and improving state educator workforce data.

Published: February 2023

Introduction:

Lack of consideration for risk-based assessments that inform osteoporosis treatment decisions may contribute to disease burden. In this study, we examined the prevalence of patients at very high risk of fracture and evaluated real-world treatment practices for these patients.

Methods:

This retrospective observational cohort study used real-world data linked to commercial and Medicare medical claims from Symphony Health PatientSource. Patients 50 years and older with osteoporosis (determined by the presence of a diagnosis code) and at very high risk of fracture according to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and American College of Endocrinology (ACE) (AACE/ACE) 2020 guidelines between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2018, were included. The number and proportion of patients treated with any osteoporosis medication were evaluated.

Results:

Of the 10,739,286 patients with osteoporosis, 5,078,111 (47.3%) were identified as meeting the AACE criteria for very high risk of fracture and were selected for the analysis. Most (5,033,106 [99.1%]) had a high risk of falls and/or a history of falls resulting in injury. Among the 1,667,794 patients (32.8%) eligible for treatment, 280,777 (16.8%) received treatment. Of these, 63.6% received alendronate, an alternative therapy, and 21.2% received a risk-based guideline-recommended medicine (teriparatide, zoledronic acid, denosumab, abaloparatide, or romosozumab). A greater proportion of men were untreated, 161,978 (90.5) compared with 1,185,003 women (81.8).

Discussion:

Most patients at very high risk of fracture remain untreated. Most of those treated do not receive the appropriate recommended treatments for patients at high risk. Risk-based treatment decisions may allow for more appropriate medication selection.

Published: February 2023

This qualitative organizational ethnography aimed to determine the common issues or concerns in a state university. Respondents were chosen through convenience sampling. A researcher-made survey form was made to determine the common issues and concerns of the State University. The gathered data were coded and analyzed through content analysis. Results showed that organizational communication and employee individual differences were the most common issues or concerns encountered by the University. The researchers concluded that these issues or concerns affected the University in many forms. Thus, it is very important to look into and address such issues and concerns to avoid serious problems in the future. Researchers ultimately add value through interpersonal interactions. Current organizational communication procedures can benefit greatly from simple yet effective changes. Individual differences are the characteristics that set humans apart from one another. Each individual within a group has a unique manner of acting. Understanding individual variations are crucial because they affect how employees feel, think, and behave.

Objectives: The aims of the study were to statistically analyse the data for a range of indications, such as flat-foot, club-foot, knee osteoarthritis, diabetes footwear, amputations, drop-foot, various types of sprains, and foot deformity amongst other physical disabilities.
Materials and Methods: The study was carried out at the Medical Rehabilitation Hospital, Median during the year 2018. The data extraction was carried out for a five-year period ranging from 2013 till 2017 through the patients’ prescription forms, collected by the hospital. The statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS 21.0. Statistics showed a non-linear trend of physical disabilities during the five-year period.
Results: This exploratory study thus highlights the need for broader, centralised data collection of this kind from all public and private hospitals in the Kingdom. This could lead to the development of an electronic database, which in turn would help the authorities to plan and manage the resources required for the rehabilitation of patients requiring such care. Moreover, it is recommended that a follow-up of patients be made an integral part of the data collection process so that the outcome measures can be gauged and the patients’ quality of life may be further improved.
Conclusion: This study provides important insights that medical rehabilitation programs need comprehensive strategies to further improve their effectiveness
