Inpatient Telehealth Experience of Patients With Limited English Proficiency: Cross-sectional Survey and Semistructured Interview Study
Authors: Payvandi Lily , Parsons Chase , Bourgeois Fabienne C , Hron Jonathan D
Published: March 2022

Background

Patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) are at a higher risk of poor health outcomes and are less likely to use telehealth than English-speaking patients. To date, there is no formal evaluation of inpatient (IP) telehealth user experience of patients and their families by language preference during visits with their clinicians.

Objective

This study aims to compare the experiences of English- and Spanish-speaking patients and their families using IP telehealth, as well as to evaluate the experience of Spanish interpreters providing services through IP telehealth.

Methods

We prospectively administered a survey to English- and Spanish-speaking patients and their families who used IP telehealth from October 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021. We performed semistructured phone interviews of hospital-based Spanish interpreters who provided services through IP telehealth.

Results

A total of 661 surveys were administered, with completion rates of 18% (112/621) in English and 62% (25/40) in Spanish. On a 10-point scale, the overall satisfaction of Spanish speakers (median 10, IQR 10-10) was higher than that of English speakers (median 9, IQR 8-10; P=.001). Both English- and Spanish-speaking patients used IP telehealth for visits with their primary IP care team, subspecialty consultants, and other clinicians. Hospital tablets were used more often than personal devices, and only English-speaking patients used personal laptops. Patients and their families encountered challenges with log-in, team coordination with multiple users, and equipment availability. Interpreters encountered challenges with audio and video quality, communication, safety, and Wi-Fi access.

Conclusions

Both English- and Spanish-speaking patients reported high satisfaction using IP telehealth across multiple disciplines despite the workflow challenges identified by interpreters. Significant investment is needed to provide robust infrastructure to support use by all patients, especially the integration of multiple users to provide interpreter services for patients with LEP.

Authors: Alkouri Osama , Almarzouqi Amina , Al-Bashaireh Ahmad , Khader Yousuf , Zyoud Amr , Jarrah Mohamad , Schultz Tim
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Despite the notable advancement in heart failure treatment and its preventive strategies, morbidity and number of deaths are still high and quality of life is poor. During COVID-19 pandemic, outpatient’s clinic visits and participation rates in face-to-face educational sessions are low. Telehealth modalities such as videoconferencing can help in delivering healthcare for patients, avoiding physical contact, and minimizing the exposure of healthcare providers to sick people. However, evidence for the effectiveness of using internet videoconferencing is still equivocal.

OBJECTIVE

To develop a feasible videoconferencing program for patients with heart failure that meets patients’ needs and preferences.

METHODS

The study involved two Delphi survey studies of three rounds each. The first Delphi survey involved healthcare staff to obtain a consensus of opinion on a proposed group videoconferencing program for patients with heart failure. The second Delphi study involved staff of the information technology center to obtain their consensus on the current capabilities, needs, barriers and facilitators of the healthcare system (providers) and patients (users) about information technology. Content analysis was used to analyze responses of participants in the first-Delphi round. Items resulting from the first-round analysis were summarized, listed, and rated (5-point Likert scale) in order to provide input and develop the second-round questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used for each item to determine whether consensus was achieved or not. The percent agreement or disagreement of participants was defined to be 80% or above to indicate their consensus. Data were collected between 2020 and 2021.

RESULTS

In Delphi 1 a group of items reached consensus. For example healthcare providers prefer sessions to be led by the cardiologists and cardiac nurses, moving from simple to a complex topic, and the dose of information and frequency should be varied according to the needs and severity of heart failure, In Delphi 2, the findings indicated that videoconferencing modality can be applied in Jordan.

CONCLUSIONS

This study addresses the equivocal evidence for the effectiveness of using internet videoconferencing and the lacking of the implementation challenges and ethics of these consultations between healthcare provider and patients. Establishing an effective videoconferencing program assists with meeting patients’ needs and preferences, accessing healthcare during COVID-19, reducing travel burden/costs as well as the risk of exposure to the virus, and ultimately improving clinical outcomes. This study will also capture attention of healthcare providers to perform further studies targeting videoconferencing heart failure management programs.
Improving Cancer Screening Among Native American Women with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities and their Caregivers: Testing the Feasibility and Acceptability of an Adapted Cancer Education Program (Preprint)
Authors: Armin Julie S. , Williamson Heather J. , Rothers Janet , Lee Michele S. , Baldwin Julie A.
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Women with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) do not receive breast and cervical cancer screening at the same rates as women without IDD. Intellectual and/or developmental disabilities are diagnosed in childhood, are lifelong, and involve difficulty with adaptive behaviors and/or intellectual functioning. Native American women also experience disparities in breast and cervical cancer screening. Despite these disparities, women with IDD are often not included in health promotion programs, and there is a need for evidence-based programming for those with intersectional identities, such as Native American women with IDD.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of My Health My Choice (MHMC), an adaptation of the Women Be Healthy 2 (WBH2) program. There are two parts to the study: 1) adaptation of the WBH2 program and 2) feasibility and acceptability testing of MHMC.

METHODS

Females over 18 years old who identify as Native American with IDD and their caregivers (N=30 women-caregiver dyads) are eligible for the study. Participants, who will be affiliated with 2 partnering sites in Arizona (1 rural, 1 urban), will complete pre- and post- surveys assessing knowledge, self-efficacy, and screening expectations prior to and immediately after completing the program. In addition, all participants will complete brief satisfaction surveys following each of the six educational sessions. A sub-sample of Native American women with IDD (n=12), caregivers (n=12), and community health educators (n=2) who participate in the My Health My Choice program will provide semi-structured qualitative input regarding the content, delivery, and cultural relevance of the program.

RESULTS

Adaptation of the culturally responsive MHMC curriculum is complete. As of November 2021, the project team has started recruitment for feasibility and the acceptability study. Pre-post-measures in cancer screening knowledge, self-efficacy, and screening expectations will explore improvements among participants.

CONCLUSIONS

Results from the feasibility and acceptability testing of MHMC will guide future implementation studies of the program.

Published: March 2022

Objectives: Using different activated heterocyclic amines to prepare diazonium salts to be coupled with ornidazole (heterocyclic agent) to form the azo linkage compounds (A1, A2) as possible antimicrobial agent.
Methods: The synthetic process involves the preparation of diazonium salts by diazotization reaction of sulfamethoxazole and 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol that contain primary amino groups with (HNO2) acid in the presence of HCl at about 0 oC. Then, azo compounds (A1, A2) were synthesized, by the reaction of nitroimidazole derivative (ornidazole) with the prepared diazonium salts at 0-5 oC, and the chemical structure of these compounds were characterized and confirmed by measuring its Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrum and Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H1-NMR) spectrum.                    
Results: Thin layer chromatography and melting point measurements were used to establish the productâ€™s purity. This compound was tested for antimicrobial activity using the broth microdilution spectrometric method on five different strains of bacteria and one strain of fungi, as well as the BACTEC MGIT 960 system for mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli.
Conclusion: Using levofloxacin and nystatin as reference drugs, the compounds (A1, A2) showed moderate to good action against tested gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and fungi, but no activity against mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Authors: Saleem Zana Sidiq Mohammed
Published: March 2022

Objectives: Kidney transplant recipients are risky group population in whom greater morbidity and mortality reported in comparison to general population.

Methods: We examined a prospectively cohort of 80 SOT Kidney transplant recipients with first-wave COVID-19, participants assessed and grouped into severe and non-severe illness.

Results: Eighty kidney transplant recipients involved in our study, with average age of 46.6 ± 12.2 years and kidney transplant duration of 6.4 ± 3.5 years. Fifty four were male (67.5%). Comorbidities included hypertension (60%), diabetes mellitus (18.8), coronary heart disease (3.8), and hypothyroidisim (2.5). Twelve patients had severe Covid-19 infection (15%) and sixty eight with non-severe (85%).

Risk factors for severe COVID-19 infection in this study were male gender, old age, comorbidities, obesity, longer duration of COVID-19 symptoms, kidney transplantation duration, C-reactive protein > 24 mg/L, Interlukine-6 > 26pg/mL and D-Dimer level> 1000ng/mL Modulation of immunosuppressive drugs done only for  severe cases Eight transplant recipients needed admission to hospital and one necessitate mechanical ventilation.

Conclusion: Kidney transplant recipients are at high risk of acquiring opportunistic infections including COVID-19 infection. The most important strategy in kidney transplant recipients to prevent COVID-19 infection is through adopting preventive measures in particular the use of masks and avoidance of crowded non-ventilated places. Risk stratification and poor outcome factor is crucial strategy to prevent spread of the infection.

Authors: Matos Daniel Abud Seabra , Rodrigues Erica Castilho , Leite Walter Lana
Published: March 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o efeito indireto do nível socioeconômico sobre a proficiência em matemática, considerando como variável mediadora o tipo de escola (pública ou particular). A base de dados foi a pesquisa Geres. Utilizamos Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, juntamente com o método cluster-robust standard errors. Usamos as variáveis: NSE, sexo, raça, proficiência em matemática e tipo de escola. Em quatro dos cinco modelos ajustados, o efeito indireto foi significativo a um nível de 5% e todos apresentaram sinal positivo. Em quatro modelos, aconteceu uma mediação completa, na qual não existe efeito direto, apenas o efeito indireto (o efeito do NSE só se manifestou por meio do tipo de escola). Apesar de o NSE ter uma forte associação com o desempenho dos alunos, grande parte dessa relação parece acontecer por meio do tipo de escola.

Authors: Almeida Aline , Silva Yara Fonseca de Oliveira
Published: March 2022

Este estudo objetiva empreender uma reflexão crítica dos avanços do neoliberalismo no Brasil com as mudanças nas políticas avaliativas da educação superior. Questiona-se quais são as relações entre as políticas educacionais e as questões do mercado capitalista e o status do país como Estado Avaliador. Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico com base em autores como Afonso, Dias Sobrinho e Paulani. Os resultados sinalizam os riscos de como a avaliação da educação superior tem sido alinhada às orientações neoliberais, sendo usada para regular, classificar e ranquear as instituições. Conclui-se que o sistema de avaliação recai na lógica comandada pelos governos neoliberais em que a avaliação é usada com a função de prestação de contas ao estado, contribuindo cada vez mais com a mercantilização da educação superior.
Konsep Khalifah dalam Al-Qur’an (Kajian Ayat 30 Surat al-Baqarah dan Ayat 26 Surat Shaad)
Authors: Rasyad Rasyad
Published: March 2022

There are three opinions about the caliph, the first is Adam as., Which is a human symbol who serves as the caliph., Second, the caliph means the next generation or successor generation., Third, the caliph is the head of state or head of government. Adam and David in the Qur'an are called caliphs, the difference is; Adam became the caliph for the whole earth at the beginning of human history by replacing a group of jinn who had done damage and bloodshed. While David was only the caliph in a certain area, and was appointed by God as the successor of the kings, leaders, and prophets of the Children of Israel who had preceded him. Caliphate is a function that human beings carry out based on the mandate they receive from God. The mandate is in essence to manage the earth in the best possible way, to prosper the people of the earth, and to eradicate tyranny.ABSTRAKAda  tiga pendapat tentang khalifah, pertama adalah Adam as.,  yang merupakan simbol manusia yang berfungsi sebagai khalifah., kedua, khalifah berarti generasi penerus atau generasi pengganti., ketiga,  khalifah adalah kepala negara atau kepala pemerintahan. Adam dan Daud dalam al-Qur’an disebut khalifah, perbedaannya adalah; Adam menjadi khalifah untuk seluruh bumi pada awal sejarah kemanusiaan dengan menggantikan  kelompok jin yang telah melakukan kerusakan dan pertumpahan darah. Sedang Daud hanya menjadi khalifah dalam wilayah tertentu saja, dan ditunjuk oleh Tuhan sebagai pengganti dari raja-raja, pemimpin-pemimpin, dan nabi-nabi Bani Israil yang telah mendahuluinya. Khalifah adalah sebuah fungsi yang diemban manusia berdasarkan amanat yang diterimanya dari Allah. Amanat itu pada intinya adalah mengelola bumi dengan sebaik-baiknya, memakmurkan penduduk bumi, serta memberantas kezaliman.

Introduction. Publications demonstrate some limitations of National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS-2) accuracy in assessment on coronavirus infection severity.

The purpose of this study was to determine the value of the patient’s age and routine laboratory parameters in the assessment of patient’s general condition in coronavirus pneumonia and their relation to NEWS-2 scale parameters.

Materials and methods. 50 case reports of patients with COVID-19 infection observed in the Sechenov University in January–March 2021 were analyzed. 34 % of patients were males aged 31 to 89 years (average age 55 years) and 66 % — females aged 40 to 91 (mean age 63). The diagnosis of pneumonia was confirmed by computed tomography. NEWS-2 scale total score was assessed.

Results. According to the physician’s subjective assessment the condition was significantly more often assessed as moderate and severe. There was only a weak correlation between the blood oxygen saturation and the total NEWS-2 score (r = 0.165, α = 0.1). We found a mild correlation (r = 0.341, α = 0.1) between the patient’s age and NEWS2 score. Among the most significantly interrelated parameters were age, neutrophil count, serum creatinine, CRP, fibrinogen level. Seven interrelated parameters (age, body temperature, blood oxygen saturation, the neutrophils count, creatinine, CRP, fibrinogen), for which a reliable relation with other tests has been shown, were assigned with its special index according to their contribution to the assessment of the overall condition severity. An aggregated score (criterion X) was proposed for assessment of disease severity according to equation. The proportions of mild, moderate, and severe cases according to criterion X were 12 %, 64 % and 24 %.

Conclusion. The preliminary results obtained in the study emphasize the importance of routine laboratory tests in assessment of coronavirus infection severity. An evident discrepancy between NEWS-2 score and X criterion may be very important for practice.

Published: March 2022

Aim: to increase the efficiency of endoscopic diagnosis of serrated and non-serrated histological types of colon polyps in real time.

Materials and methods. From September 2017 to February 2018, 63 polyps were detected among 51 patients (male 11, women 40, aged between 30–78 years, average age 52.2 ± 12.5 years) in all parts of the colon.Polyps were found in all parts of colon, sizes varied: 24 (38.1 %) ≤5 mm, 31 (49.2 %) 6–10 mm, 8 (12.7 %) ≥10 mm. The macroscopic types 0–IIa were 44 (69.8 %), and 0–Is — 19 (30.2 %). During colonoscopy, 1.5%-acetic acid, 5 ml, was sprayed onto the identified polyps. Additionally was blowed 40 ml of air jet. Mucosa was observed endoscopically for 2 minutes. Then polyps were removed and sent for pathology.

Results. Use of acetic acid leads to fast acetowhitening reaction of lesions and surrounding mucosa. 2 groups were distinguished (table): 1) Loss of acetowhitening (LAW) of polyps occurs earlier than LAW of surrounding mucosa — «acetowhitening negative». 2) LAW of polyps occurs later than LAW of surrounding mucosa — «acetowhitening positive». Group 1 includes 25 (39.7%) polyps, 88.0% of which were non-serrated: 18(72.0%) — tubular adenoma; 4 (16.0%) — tubular-villous adenoma, one of which had high-grade dysplasia. Only 3(12.0%) polyps were serrated — hyperplastic polyps. Group 2 includes 38 (60.3%) polyps, 97.4% of which were serrated: 24 (63.2%) — hyperplastic polyp; 12 (31.6%) — sessile serrated polyp, including one with low-grade dysplasia, 1 (2.6%) - traditional serrated adenoma. Only 1 (2.6%) polyp was non-serrated — tubular adenoma. This suggests that LAW of non-serrated polyps occurs faster than LAW of surrounding mucosa — «acetowhitening negative». On the contrary, the LAW of serrated polyps is delayed compared to the LAW of the surrounding mucosa «acetowhitening positive». LAW of 4(6.3%) polyps was atypical. The reason for this phenomenon requires further study.

Conclusion. Acetic acid chromoendoscopy can be used as a diagnostic method to determine the histological type of polyps during colonoscopy.

Published: March 2022

Aim. Systemic amyloidosis caused by the synthesis and deposition of immunoglobulin light chains (AL amyloidosis) is a relatively rare disease that involves heart, kidneys, peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and has a large number of various clinical manifestations. We present a clinical case of systemic AL amyloidosis with a predominant involvement of liver, stomach, intestines, and heart in a Caucasian female.

Key points. A Caucasian woman presented to clinic with severe general weakness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, sudden weight loss, and palpitation. Initial examination revealed a duodenal bulb ulcer complicated by bleeding and polyps in the retrobulbar part of duodenum. Decreased hemoglobin levels, elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide, signs of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and hepatomegaly became the basis for a clinical suspicion of AL amyloidosis and puncture liver biopsy. Histochemical and immunohistochemical studies of liver, stomach, and duodenum biopsy specimens confirmed AL amyloidosis. Timely diagnosis made it possible to conduct a specific therapy with melphalan plus dexamethasone, get a satisfactory response and improve the patient’s condition.

Conclusion. A thorough examination of patients along with a pathomorphological and immunohistochemical study of the biopsy specimens is the basis for confirming the diagnosis of AL amyloidosis, selecting the proper therapy, improving the condition of patients and their survival.

Authors: Minto Deri Wan
Published: March 2022

The background of this research seen from the mass media, especially television, has become a necessity in addressing the perspectives that occur in society. Television can determine the ideology, interests and points of view to influence others. This study aims to describe Najwa Shihab's partisanship, social cognition, and context in the Mata Najwa event at Trans7 regarding the Omnibus Law: Job Creation in Trans7 Model Teun A. Van Dijk. This type of research is qualitative with a Critical Discourse Analysis (AWK) system approach. The data is in the form of speeches from the presenters in the Mata Najwa program with the concept of taking part in the host, whether to the "Pro Team" (to the government), whether to the "contra team" (to non-government) or not taking sides with both (idependent). Results Based on research and discussion, the number of sentences found in the interactive dialogue â€œkubuâ€ Pro is 35 sentences. Next, the counter â€œstrongholdâ€ reveals 41 sentences. Based on this research, it is clear that in the program hosted by Najwa Shibab, the sentence structure used has an ideology and characteristics that are impartial, independent, and open. This means that based on the sentence issued by the speaker (the presenter) it is below 50%. This means that the media does not take sides with the government, the counter team, or others.

Recently in Indonesia, there have been many cyberbullying containing blasphemy on social media such as what was done by Joseph Paul Zhang and M. Kece. Of course, it can cause legal implications if there are other peoples who feel humiliated. This research aims to (1) analyze illocutionary speech acts of cyberbullying containing blasphemy on social media, (2) reveal the legal impact of the utterance cyberbullying containing blasphemy, and (3) determine the characteristics of cyberbullying containing blasphemy. The method of this research is qualitative with forensic linguistic approach. The data of the research were collected from the copies of court verdict. Based on the analysis, the illocutionary speech act by defendants includes; expressive (hate speech, humiliation), directive (insulting), and assertive (lies). The legal impact of cyberbullying containing blasphemy carried out by the defendants on social media can be charged based on the Law of the Republic Indonesian Article 28 paragraph (2) Law Number 19 ofÂ  2016 about Information and Electronic Transactions (the ITE Law). The characteristic of cyberbullying containing blasphemy on social media is the use of harsh words, insults, and blasphemy against religious group, God, Prophets, the holy scriptures/verse, and other religious symbols.

The Covid-19 outbreak has affected all areas of life in the world, including education. In order for teaching and learning activities to continue, the government issued one policy, namely distance learning through online or online. This study aims to describe the implementation of online learning in Indonesian subjects with speech material for sixth grade elementary school students. This research was conducted using descriptive methods with qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. Data collection techniques through interviews and observation. Because the learning conditions were still online, interviews were conducted online using the Google Form application. The sample of this study was the sixth grade students of SDN 2 Mangunrejo Grobogan, Central Java, totaling 19 students. The results of the study indicate that online learning in the Indonesian language subject of speech material runs according to the lesson plan. Based on the results of observations and interviews, it showed that students quite liked and were quite easy to accept the material presented during online learning. However, there are still some obstacles experienced by students that cannot be ignored during learning such as difficult networks or signals, waste of quota, technology stuttering, boredom, and students tend to prefer face-to-face.

Secondary forest restoration can alter terrestrial ecosystem processes
and potentially impact subsurface carbon dynamics. However, the effects
of long-term forest restoration on the soil microbial metabolic activity
remain unclear. So, the aim of this study was to explore the response of
soil microbial metabolism to forest restoration. Among them, the soil
basal respiration (BR), microbial quotient ( qMB), and metabolic
quotient ( qCO ) were studied. This study
investigated a natural vegetation restoration sequence approximately
~160 years after farmland abandonment on the central
Loess Plateau, China, corresponding to five vegetation restoration
stages including farmland, grassland, shrubland, pioneer forests, and
climax forests. The results showed that BR and qCO
were increased following forest restoration, whereas
qMB showed the opposite trend. Forest restoration also increased
the activities of β-1,4-glucosidase and β-D-cellobiosidase. Restoration
age, litter traits such as nitrogen, cellulose and lignin decomposition
rates, dissolved organic carbon contents, fungi and bacteria composition
were also important indicators affecting microbial metabolic activities.
Long-term forest restoration can change soil microbial community
structure, reduce carbon mineralization efficiency, improve soil
microbial carbon utilization efficiency, and promote soil organic carbon
accumulation.
Forecasting in the face of ecological complexity: number and strength of species interactions determines forecast skill in ecological communities
Authors: Daugaard Uriah , Munch Stephan , Inauen David , Pennekamp Frank , Petchey Owen
Published: March 2022

The potential for forecasting the dynamics of ecological systems is
currently unclear, with contrasting opinions regarding its feasibility
due to ecological complexity. To investigate forecast skill within and
across system complexity, we monitored a microbial system exposed to
either constant or fluctuating temperatures in a five months long
laboratory experiment. We tested how forecasting of species abundances
depends on number and strength of interactions and on model size (number
of predictors). We also tested how greater system complexity (i.e. the
fluctuating temperatures) impacted these relations. We found that the
more a species interacted, the weaker these interactions were and the
better its abundance was predicted. Forecast skill increased with model
size. Greater system complexity decreased forecast skill for three out
of eight species. These insights into how abundance prediction depends
on the embedding of the species within the system and on overall system
complexity could improve species forecasting and monitoring.
Equity and Efficiency in Women-Empowered Contract Farming: An Explanatory Case Study on the Tea Estate Sector of Sri Lanka
Authors: Dishanka Sajitha , Sakurai Takeshi , Ikemoto Yukio
Published: March 2022

Essentially, equity and efficiency are integral parts of any economic activities of sustainability though the correlation and causation between those two constructs are not considered significant. This study intends to evaluate if the contract farming system is a sustainable solution to the prevailing socio-economic aspects of the labor productivity problem in the tea estate sector of Sri Lanka, where female workers are highly depressed. This study has employed the survey strategy within the instrumental case of a selected tea estate to assess equity and efficiency of women-empowered contract farming system. The analytical results for gender equity on input and performance indicators have proven that gender equity is maintained in contract farming at the sample tea estate. The efficiency analysis results revealed that the output elasticity of tea bushes is significantly lower for female farmers than male farmers. However, there is no such significant difference revealed in the output elasticity of labor between gender groups. These findings explicitly reveal that the female workers in the tea estate sector are capable of managing labor although they are dominated by males in the domesticity. It further implies that a transformation of the male-dominant culture of the tea estate community would enhance the entrepreneurial and leadership capabilities of female workers if they are provided with equal opportunities and freedom.
Did old Maya observe Mercury?

Published: March 2022

It is well known that the rich culture of old Maya contained, among other, also a very complicated and complex calendar, in which they recorded not only historical events, but also significant astronomical phenomena. Main source of information is the Dresden Codex, roughly covering the interval between 280 and 1325 AD. The problem of the so-called correlation between Mayan and our calendars (expressing the difference between Long Count of Mayan calendar and Julian date) is very old, there exist about fifty different solutions that mutually differ by up to hundreds of years. Out of these, historians mostly accept the so-called Goodman - Mart?nez - Thompson (GMT) value of 584 283 days, which is based almost entirely on historical events. On the contrary, we stressed very precisely dated astronomical data, demonstrated the contradictions of GMT with them, and derived the so-called B?hm correlation (BB) of 622 261 days, which is in excellent agreement with astronomical phenomena recorded in Dresden Codex. Maya researchers are mostly convinced that Maya did not pay much attention to Mercury. Here we conclude that the truth is opposite; we analyze the data in Dresden Codex and find many records corresponding to visibility of Mercury near its maximum elongations from the Sun, and also to their conjunctions.
