Published: September 2021

El ensayo contiene una reflexión acerca de la experiencia de tres estudiantes con relación al proceso editorial. Debido a que esta tarea conlleva una serie de pasos que tomaría meses de trabajo, se realizó un ejercicio que contempla únicamente el análisis de un manuscrito. El objetivo de la actividad era permitir un primer acercamiento con un texto inédito para sugerir los cambios necesarios para mejorarlo, hacerlo inteligible y que el mensaje llegue de forma clara al lector. Para ello se utilizó una matriz que evalúa aspectos de forma y de fondo de la obra seleccionada. Esta actividad permitió a los autores reflexionar sobre todo el proceso, aunque solo se llevó a cabo la parte de la revisión del manuscrito. Se hicieron sugerencias de mejora principalmente en la forma de presentar el contenido. Entre las propuestas están ampliar el interlineado, buscar una tipografía más redondeada y sin serifa, cambiar capturas de pantalla por diseños propios para asegurar la legibilidad, una selección de colores más atractiva y la revisión general de ortotipografía, puntuación y estructuras gramaticales complejas. Este tipo de ejercicios permite reflexionar acerca de la práctica de la edición.
A Theoretical Examination of Shadow Education in South Korea
Authors: Howard Natalie-Jane
Published: September 2021

This article provides a theoretical contribution to the contemporary debates regarding the legitimacy and effects of supplementary tutoring, also known as shadow education. Shadow education is notably pervasive in South Korea, and accounting for high rates of domestic expenditure and increasing time demands on young people’s lives.  The paper traces the historical and cultural reasons for the widespread uptake of shadow education amongst young students in the South Korean context and problematises what it means to be educated by juxtaposing leading scholars’ perceptions of the fundamental aims of education. Delving into the reality of shadow education whilst also revealing the disruptive nature of this common place practice, the paper concludes by highlighting the need for further empirical research to counterbalance the largely unsubstantiated beliefs and anecdotal evidence regarding its purposes

The Emirates Oncology Task Force Clinical Practice Guideline on Screening for SARS-CoV-2 in Asymptomatic Adult Cancer Patients Prior to Anti-Cancer Therapy
Authors:   Department of Oncology–Burjeel Cancer Institute–Burjeel Medical City, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Al-Shamsi Humaid
Published: September 2021

The Emirates Oncology Task Force Clinical Practice Guideline on Screening for SARS-CoV-2 in Asymptomatic Adult Cancer Patients Prior to Anti-Cancer Therapy Introduction: Cancer care during this pandemic is challenging given the competing risks of death from cancer versus death or serious complications from SARS- CoV-2 infection, and the likely higher lethality of COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients. Question remains on serial screening for SARSCoV-2 in asymptomatic adult cancer patients prior to anti-cancer therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We conducted a systematic review to formulate a consensus statement to guide the practising oncologists. Results: Most of the current guidelines recommends RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 testing of asymptomatic patients prior to initiating and during the anti-cancer therapy despite the lack of robust evidence. We suggested the following: If screening is indicated in adult cancer patients, we recommend using RT-PCR over serum antibody or serum antigen for adult cancer patients; we also recommend assessing the risk of exposure to and infection from SARS-CoV-2 prior to each anti-cancer cycle, to consider SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic adult cancer patients prior to anti-cancer therapy in high risk groups : highly cytotoxic chemotherapy with potential profound neutropenia based on the physician’s risk assessment of the chemotherapy , stem cell transplantation. For asymptomatic intermediate-high risk cancer patients, we suggest performing RT-PCR 48-72 hours prior to initiating any anti-cancer therapy. For asymptomatic low-risk cancer patients, we suggest not to routinely screen prior to initiating any anti-cancer therapy (weak recommendation, low quality evidence). Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 screening might be indicated with higher certainty to certain cancer risk groups. There remains a need for prospective trials to assess this intervention, and the outcome of such intervention. Current recommendations may change based on new and emerging evidence.

Published: September 2021

The aim of the present investigation was to develop and evaluate transdermal patch of Apixaban. Formulation development of
Apixaban Transdermal patch was initiated using Eudragit S 100 and HPMC E50 LV as matrix controlling polymer for matrix type
Transdermal Patch. PEG 400 was selected as plasticizer. Glycerin was selected as permeability enhancer. Preformulation study was
performed to check the drug excipient compatibility. The IR spectra of Drug and final formulation found satisfactory. There are no
any interaction between drug and excipients. Further the linearity curve was developed in UV for method of analysis. Trials A1-A14
was initiated using different concentration of polymers in the formulation. The prepared patches were transparent and smooth in
surface. The weight variation was found well within acceptable range. The thickness of patches was found uniform in nature and the variation is found satisfactory. Further, the surface pH of the patches was found between 6.8 to 7.1 and it is acceptable. The drug
content, folding endurance and %elongation results of A1-A14 batches were found well within acceptable range. Initially the trial
batches were taken with a single polymer like HPMC and EudragitS100. The drug release was not achieved as per the target drug release profile for 8hours. Hence the combination of these two polymers are taken and found better results than the single polymers. Based on the drug release data, it was observed that the A8 batch was the most satisfactory batch with respect to drug release and other parameters. Hence, the A8 batch selected as optimized batch and Stability study of the same batch initiated.

Lantana camara is a plant that is used empirically for traditional medicine. This plant has the potential to be developed as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant drug because it contains flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids[1] essential oils[19], carbohydrates, proteins, glycosides, oligosaccharides, kinins, steroids, triterpenoids, and sesquiterpenes[2]. Therefore this article is created in order to provide information about the various research that supports evidence of conformity with the use of this plant empirically as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Antioxidant activities were obtained in Lantana camara plants by using the DPPH method which showed high IC50 values compared to the standard drug. The anti-inflammatory activity of lantana leaves showed that they had different anti-inflammatory effects depending on the dose given. From the results of the review, empirical evidence of pharmacological activity was found from the use of the lantana plant leaves.

Surgical Resection of a Foramen Magnum Meningioma—A Rarely Encountered Skull Base Tumour in Trinidad
Authors: Seetahal-Maraj Panduranga
Published: September 2021

Tumours of the foramen magnum are infrequent compared to other locations within the neuraxis. Meningiomas are one of the most frequently encountered tumours of the nervous system, but only 1.8 to 3.2% actually originate within the foramen magnum. However, they account for almost 50% of all tumours in this region.
We report a case of a large foramen magnum meningioma in a 16-year-old female, the diagnostic difficulty it presents due to its rarity and indolent course, and the surgical strategies employed to manage this case.
This was the first performance of a far-lateral craniotomy in San Fernando General Hospital. The use of a staged procedure to facilitate this skull base tumour resection resulted in an excellent outcome.

Importance: Evidence of the effectiveness of cognitive activity and preparatory tasks in improving the cognitive skills and functional performance of people with cognitive decline is limited.

Objective: To examine the efficacy of a high-ecological cognitive intervention.

Design: Quasi-experimental, pretest–posttest design with nonequivalent control.

Setting: Community.

Participants: Older adults with mild cognitive impairment from two senior centers.

Intervention: Twelve 90-min weekly group sessions of a high-ecological cognitive intervention using simulated everyday cognitive tasks (experimental group) and of nutrition education (active control group).

Outcomes and Measures: Cognitive skills were measured with the Color Trails Test (CTT), the Contextual Memory Test (CMT; Immediate Recall [CMT–Im] and Delayed Recall [CMT–De] tasks), and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Fourth Edition Digit Span subtest (Digits Forward and Digits Backward). Cognitive–functional performance was measured with the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test–Third Edition (RBMT–3; Immediate Recall [RBMT–3–Im] and Delayed Recall [RBMT–3–De] tasks) and the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ).

Results: Thirty-seven participants (M age = 70.84 yr; 70.3% women) met the inclusion criteria for analysis (20 participants in the intervention group, 17 participants in the control group). Multivariate linear regression showed that the intervention group improved significantly more than the control group on the CTT, CMT–Im, and RBMT–3–Im but not on the CMT–De, RBMT–3–De, and CFQ.

Conclusions and Relevance: Twelve 90-min weekly group sessions of a high-ecological cognitive intervention improved attention, executive function, immediate memory, and objective cognitive–functional performance with immediate-memory task demands.

What This Article Adds: Carefully designed and structured simulated everyday cognitive tasks can be used as a cognitive training agent to improve both cognitive skills and objective cognitive–functional performance. The effectiveness of group-based cognitive interventions depends on the skills of occupational therapy practitioners in activity analysis and grading.

Purpose

In soccer, teammates are required to behave in a synchronized fashion to generate an effective unity. The study aim was to compare the number of players participating in team possessions of the 4 semi-finalists of the 2014 FIFA® World Cup.

Methods

The sample of this observational study comprised 2372 team possessions of the 2014 FIFA® World Cup semifinalists (Germany, Argentina, the Netherlands, and Brazil). Descriptive analysis was performed, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was applied. The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests served to verify the overall and specific
effects of the number of players participating in team possessions. Effect sizes were reported as Pearson’s r. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. The SPSS software version 22 was used for statistical procedures.

Results

The tournament winners (Germany) displayed significantly higher means of the number of players per possession than the Netherlands and Brazil (U = 144.797; p < 0.001; small effect; and U = 158.501; p < 0.001; small effect, respectively), as did the runners-up, Argentina (U = 140.253; p = 0.012; negligible effect; and U = 154.226; p < 0.001; small effect, respectively). The Netherlands had a significantly higher mean number of players participating in team possessions than Brazil (U = 160.467; p = 0.014; negligible effect).

Conclusions

The teams who reached the tournament final circulated the ball by using more players than those eliminated in the semi-finals. Future studies should verify the potential utilization of the number of players as an indicator of competitive success.

This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of Magnetic Resonance (MR) Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (SWI) and also to compare the sensitivity of Magnetic Resonance (MR) susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (SWI) and Computed Tomography (CT), such that SWI can replace the use of CT as a standard protocol in the detection and differentiation between calcification and Hemorrhage. A series of 70 patients included in this study with clinical suspicion or known history of intracranial hemorrhage/ calcifications for follow up, were scanned using both Philips Multiva 1.5T (MRI/SWI) and Philips Ingenuity 128 slice (CT) Results showed that SWI had 100% relative sensitivity, as it was able to detect both hemorrhage and calcifications in all the cases identified in CT. In addition, SWI detected hemorrhage in 2 additional cases that were nonspecific in CT. Furthermore, SWI detected signal from micro bleeds, which was missed on CT in three cases, and also detected calcification in two cases, which were not positively identified in CT. In conclusion, Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (SWI) is highly sensitive for the detection and differentiation of hemorrhage and calcifications using Phase reconstructed images compared to conventional MRI methods and Computed Tomography.
