Authors: Cartello Laura , Ghiselli Gianluca , Pasquariello Daniele , Attivissimo Marco , Pasquariello Devis , Di Maria Cristina
Published: August 2023

INTRODUZIONE: Nel triage è fondamentale la rilevazione del dolore come previsto dalle linee di indirizzo e dalla Raccomandazione Ministeriale  15 che specifica la necessità dell’utilizzo di una metodologia di valutazione che permetta la corretta attribuzione del codice di triage senza sovra/sottostime mantenendo qualità e sicurezza, anche attraverso la corretta valutazione del dolore. Nel metodo Manchester Triage System (MTS), per determinare il codice di priorità, viene utilizzata la Manchester Pain Ruler Scale (MPRS), strumento multidimensionale validato anche in italiano per pazienti adulti e pediatrici.
MATERIALI E METODI: Studio di coorte prospettico di maggiorenni acceduti al PS presentando come sintomo principale il dolore con elevata stabilità delle funzioni vitali di base.
RISULTATI: Sulla totalità dei casi, MPRS è più sensibile nella valutazione del dolore nel processo di triage globale, infatti nel 40% dei casi (42/104) tale score si è rivelato un punteggio congruente al trattamento. NRS è risultata classificare in maniera adeguata nel 10% dei casi (11/104). Inoltre MPRS appare più specifica per il dolore di primo e terzo livello. L’utilizzo di MPRS permette di osservare una riduzione del under/over triage rispetto ad NRS. 
CONCLUSIONI: Da questo studio sono emersi nuovi quesiti riguardanti la valutazione del dolore in fase di triage, ma anche dati che ritengono MPRS più sensibile e specifica rispetto a NRS nonostante l’utilizzo di un modello di triage globale differente da MTS. Inoltre MPRS descrive in maniera più accurata il dolore in triage rispetto ad alcune fasce di età esesso, riducendo l’over/under triage.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: L'incontinenza urinaria postoperatoria è il risultato complessivo dell'incompetenza dello sfintere uretrale e delle modifiche della lunghezza dell'uretra dopo la prostatectomia radicale. I risultati degli interventi preoperatori mirati a prevenire l'incontinenza post-prostatectomia includono l'allenamento preoperatorio dei muscoli del pavimento pelvico (PFMT) e il biodfeedback (BFB), che possono essere gestiti dal personale infermieristico in molti Paesi.

OBIETTIVO: determinare l'efficacia del biofeedback preoperatorio (BFB) per l'incontinenza urinaria post-prostatectomia rispetto al training pelvico senza BFB, considerando la variabilità dei risultati degli studi disponibili. 

METODI: è stata condotta una revisione sistematica con meta-analisi, analizzando le indicazioni fornite dalla letteratura sul biofeedback preoperatorio per la prevenzione dell'incontinenza urinaria in termini di regimi di trattamento, tempi di inizio delle sessioni, numero di esercizi di contrazione e rilassamento e lavoro programmato a casa. La ricerca della letteratura è stata effettuata su Pubmed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE e PEdro.

RISULTATI: nonostante solo tre articoli siano stati adatti alla metanalisi, i nostri risultati supportano il BFB rispetto alle istruzioni scritte per il recupero della continenza dopo 3 e 6 mesi dall'intervento. L'implementazione di programmi progressivi con molti esercizi muscolari diversi e l'inclusione del rilassamento sono le principali raccomandazioni.

CONCLUSIONI: Il biofeedback preoperatorio porta a un miglioramento della continenza urinaria dopo 3 e 6 mesi dalla prostatectomia radicale. Gli studi futuri dovrebbero concentrarsi sulle caratteristiche e sul numero di contrazioni muscolari pelviche richieste durante il biofeedback per massimizzare l'efficacia.Il biofeedback preoperatorio migliora il recupero della continenza dopo la prostatectomia aperta: una revisione sistematica e una meta-analisi

Authors: Granziero Celeste , Bergesio Giorgio , Rinaldi Bartolomeo , Marcomini Ilaria
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: The nursing profession is particularly susceptible to sleep disturbances due to altered circadian rhythms, frequent changes in shift patterns, and overtime work, resulting in fewer hours devoted to sleep and an increased risk of errors in care. Sleep disorders, however, seem to start as early as during undergraduate training: in fact, it has been found that the high teaching load and the sudden alternation between theory, exams, and internship can be a source of stress and anxiety, leading to these kinds of disorders even during basic training. This study, therefore, set out to investigate the incidence of sleep disorders and examine the factors associated with them among nursing students in Italy.
METHODS: A cross-sectional web-based study was conducted from January to August 2022, administering the Italian version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was administered. The normality of the distribution was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed.
RESULTS: The survey was completed by 4898 students. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test stated that the scores followed a normal distribution. The logistic regression found that being female, suffering from a disease, being a working student, regularly consuming tea or alcohol, and perceiving that sleep disorders impact academic performance are factors influencing the occurrence of sleep disorders.CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest nurse educators to implement strategies to facilitate the path of nursing students and reduce the risk of errors in nursing. Official studies of individual universities should confirm this pilot study's results.

Breastmilk is a source of nutrition that is ideal because of its balanced composition and is the most perfect for baby's needs, both in quality and quantity. The scope of exclusive breastfeeding is indeed increasing every year but is still below target. To increase the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding requires a stimulation of a massage baby. One of the basic mechanisms of baby massage is the activity of the vagus nerve increases the volume of milk and better absorption so that the baby is hungry quickly and will suckle more often to his mother. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of baby massage on the frequency and duration of breastfeeding infants aged 0-6 months. The design of this study is Quasi Experiment with Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The sample of this study totaled 30 respondents (15 babies as a control group and 15 babies as treatment groups) with purposive sampling techniques. The data collection tool used is a standard operating procedures of Baby Massage, Observation Forms of Frequency and Breastfeeding Duration of Babies Age 0-6 Months.

An Analysis of Plant Diseases Identification Based on Deep Learning Methods
Authors: Gong Xulu , Zhang Shujuan
Published: August 2023

Plant disease is an important factor affecting crop yield. With various types and complex conditions, plant diseases cause serious economic losses, as well as modern agriculture constraints. Hence, rapid, accurate, and early identification of crop diseases is of great significance. Recent developments in deep learning, especially convolutional neural network (CNN), have shown impressive performance in plant disease classification. However, most of the existing datasets for plant disease classification are a single background environment rather than a real field environment. In addition, the classification can only obtain the category of a single disease and fail to obtain the location of multiple different diseases, which limits the practical application. Therefore, the object detection method based on CNN can overcome these shortcomings and has broad application prospects. In this study, an annotated apple leaf disease dataset in a real field environment was first constructed to compensate for the lack of existing datasets. Moreover, the Faster R-CNN and YOLOv3 architectures were trained to detect apple leaf diseases in our dataset. Finally, comparative experiments were conducted and a variety of evaluation indicators were analyzed. The experimental results demonstrate that deep learning algorithms represented by YOLOv3 and Faster R-CNN are feasible for plant disease detection and have their own strong points and weaknesses.

Published: August 2023

Colletotrichum acutatum species complex is one of the most important groups in the genus Colletotrichum with a high species diversity and a wide range of host plants. C. acutatum and related species have been collected from different plants and locations in Korea and deposited into the Korean Agricultural Culture Collection (KACC), National Institute of Agricultural Sciences since the 1990s. These fungal isolates were previously identified based mainly on morphological characteristics, and a limitation of molecular data was provided. To confirm the identification of species, 64 C. acutatum species complex isolates in KACC were used in this study for DNA sequence analyses of six loci: nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS), betatubulin 2 (TUB2), histone-3 (HIS3), glyceraldehyde3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), chitin synthase 1 (CHS-1), and actin (ACT). The molecular analysis revealed that they were identified in six different species of C. fioriniae (24 isolates), C. nymphaeae (21 isolates), C. scovillei (12 isolates), C. chrysanthemi (three isolates), C. lupini (two isolates), and C. godetiae (one isolate), and a novel species candidate. We compared the hosts of KACC isolates with “The List of Plant Diseases in Korea”, previous reports in Korea and global reports and found that 23 combinations between hosts and pathogens could be newly reported in Korea after pathogenicity tests, and 12 of these have not been recorded in the world.

Authors: Ibadin Peter Okoeguale , Embele Kemebradikemor
Published: August 2023

The need to address tax fraud has increasingly been attracted to the state authorities’ administrators, decision-makers, scholars, and investigators in Nigeria. Although various efforts have been made to alleviate it for effective revenue generation, mobilization through taxation is still low. Consequently, this study examined Forensic Audit Services and Tax Fraud in South-South Nigeria. To this end, a cross-sectional research design with a survey research strategy was used. Copies of questionnaire, reflecting the research questions, were distributed to a sample size of 228 staff in the Nigerian Federal Inland Revenue Service in the South-South States with a target population (of 530) and a sampling error of 5% at a 95% confidence interval. To assess the study's hypotheses, the Robust Least Squares Estimation technique was used. Findings revealed that Forensic Audit Investigation Services disaggregated into Background Investigation, Investigative Interview, and Analytical Procedures exert a negative and significant effect on Tax Fraud. It was also revealed that the explanatory power of Litigation Support Services in the form of Pre-trial Support and Expert Witnessing negatively and significantly affected Tax Fraud. The implications of these findings suggest that forensic audit services mitigate the occurrence of tax fraud in Nigeria, thereby improving compliance and tax revenue generation. On the premise of the foregoing, we recommend that tax investigating agencies, such as the federal Inland Revenue Service and its counterparts in the states (all in Nigeria) should employ background investigation techniques including surveillance, undercover operations and database searches as a routine procedure to proactively search for indicators of fraud. Besides, tax officials should be well trained on the usefulness and application of analytical procedures, ranging from simple ratio analysis, data mining techniques, Bedford’s Law, and Beneish model during an investigation, to help in their audit efficiency.

Published: August 2023

Transparency among the local authorities is crucial as local authorities are expected to perform their stewardship roles to meet the demand of their stakeholders. Due to information asymmetry between the local authorities and citizens, there is a tendency for citizens to have unfavourable perceptions towards local authorities’ activities. Literature suggests that transparent information will mitigate this issue. Thus, the study seeks to investigate the level of transparency of Malaysian local authorities by examining 19 of them covering the periods from 2015 to 2019. Available information from the website and the local authorities annual reports were obtained. Adopting agency theory and stewardship theory, the study suggests that the level of transparency in the form of non-financial information transparency, citizen transparency and transparency easiness among the Malaysian local authorities is regarded to be high. It indicates that the information asymmetry between the local authorities and the stakeholders is generally minimised. However, this study highlights that the transparency level in the form of financial information still needs to be improved, and local authorities should be more transparent in disclosing such information. Besides providing insights into local authorities' transparency, this study is beneficial to local authorities and regulators in establishing policies; and citizens and stakeholders in assessing the transparency level of local authorities. Future research should consider factors that influence transparency among local authorities in Malaysia. A comparison between local authorities should also be made to find the best practices for stimulating transparency in local authorities.

Research has been carried out using survey methods and experiments in laboratories with36 samples of palm FFB were taken for three parts which would be used as a repeat in determining the yield of CPO and fatty acids from the palm FFB. The results showed that the yield of CPO was determined by various factors, including: suitability for oil palm development areas, types (Dura and Tenera), and maturity fraction. In Dura palms with thinner mesocarf, the yield of CPO is lower than Tenera. The FFB maturity fraction at harvest greatly determines the yield of CPO and the quality of the oil. The best yield and quality of CPO on the F2 and F3 maturity fractions. The KPO yield of Dura palm is higher than that of Tenera, so it is more profitable to plant the Tenera type. Therefore it is necessary to evaluate the use of dura and tenera seeds for the development of smallholder oil palm in the east coast of Aceh to obtain the quantity and quality of CPO

It’s been around three years since we first encountered the COVID-19 crisis. We still need to be on the lookout for COVID-19, even if the illness is no longer a global public health emergency.

Since fewer countries are regularly reporting COVID-19 deaths, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that roughly 1,000 new cases of COVID-19 occur in the Region each week. And it still has a disproportionate impact on society’s most vulnera¬ble individuals.

Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases, which together ac-count for 75% of deaths, were used as a cover by COVID-19. Those already suffer¬ing from such conditions were and still are more susceptible to the harmful effects of COVID-19.

According to newly released statistics from WHO, children and adolescents from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, those who had protracted school closures, and those who lacked crucial support systems like family and instructors were hit most by the COVID-19 epidemic.

The teens’ mental and physical health, as well as their social lives, were all negatively impacted by the pandemic. Since the onset of the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been a significant increase in the number of young people reporting several health conditions that need to be managed promptly.

Perception and Attitude of the General Population of Saudi Arabia Towards Texting While Driving
Authors: Shaik Riyaz
Published: August 2023

Background and Aims:
In order to assess the risk of texting while driving, the study looked at the distractions that affected how well drivers performed. Additionally, it aimed to assess Saudi Arabia’s level of awareness, usage, and risk of cell phone use while driving, as well as any necessary safety measures.

Methods:
This study was a descriptive, community-based and cross-sectional study conducted in Saudi Arabia from March 2022- May 2022. Before answering the questionnaire, participants provided informed consent. There are no sensitive or private questions in the questionnaire, and their identities are kept strictly confidential.

Results:
In total, 1108 (76.3%) of the 1452 participants said they were texting while driving, while 344 (23.7%) said they were not. Texting while driving was deemed dangerous by 1000 (90.3%) of 1108 participants. 732 (66.1%) participants were aware of current local laws pertaining to texting while driving, while 376 (33.9%) were not. 666 (60.1%) participants agree that the modification of laws making it illegal to text while driving is acceptable.

Conclusions:
The vast majority of participants were familiar with the rules governing road safety. The new research backs up previous claims that texting affects how well a driver performs in a driving simulator. This is primarily for calling and reading/writing messages, and it is strongly associated with an increased risk of accidents. These findings imply the need for ongoing education and public service messages that emphasize the risks associated with this unsafe driving practice while minimizing the perceived benefits of the behavior.

Background and Aims:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a major public health problem because of it is associated morbidity and disability in children. It is a multi-faceted dilemma posing social, academic, psychological and psychiatric issues during childhood. This study aimed to investigate the level of awareness about ADHD among adults in Saudi Arabia.

Methods:
This cross-sectional study with a convenience sampling was conducted in Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia between September 2020 and April 2021 and the sample size was 1148. Sociodemographic characteristics, true and false beliefs, and awareness of ADHD were assessed by online survey.

Results:
Majority of the respondents agreed that ADHD needs medical treatment by a specialist at early age combined with behavior therapy(85%). 89% of the respondents believed that people with ADHD demonstrate excessive physical movements. 48% of the participants had poor knowledge about ADHD(less than 60% score), the level of knowledge varied with education level. Participants who less educated had lower level of awareness of ADHD. Also, participants who were employed, with high income showed higher level of awareness. The preferred way to increase ADHD awareness was social media(35%) followed by mass media (22%).

Conclusions:
The awareness of ADHD in adult Saudi population is reasonable but not ideal. Education and employment appear to significantly improve people’s knowledge about the disorder. Social media is the main agent in spreading ADHD awareness among people. Community based proactive and accessible resources must be developed on ‘population based needs and means’ in order to improve ADHD beliefs and awareness levels among the Saudi population.
Methotrexate-induced Hyponatremia in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Report
Authors: Almehmadi Bader
Published: August 2023

Methotrexate is a widely used medication with immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory effects on cancers and autoimmune diseases, it is known that hyponatremia may be a side effect of its use in high doses when treating cancers, but it is unknown in low doses when used as an immunomodulator. Hyponatremia may be asymptomatic initially but can progress to fatal consequences if left untreated. Here we present a case of hyponatremia secondary to a low dose of methotrexate in an elderly patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
A clinicopathological study of the correlation of level of carcinoembryonic antigen in colorectal carcinoma in a tertiary care medical college in Eastern India
Authors: Nath Sasanka , Karmakar Subhashis , Ranjan Samir
Published: August 2023

Background: For different cancers, different tumor markers are overexpressed. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels are raised commonly in adenocarcinoma of colon, breast, and lung. About 80% of primary colorectal cancers (CRCs) show high serum CEA levels. Hence, CEA levels can be used as a prognostic factor - for both metastasis and recurrence - with persistent high levels. Currently, the American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends CEA as tumor marker and prognostic indicator in CRC patients.

Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the high level of CEA in CRCs and to study the level of CEA in cases of metastases and recurrence and to determine the sensitivity of CEA value in prognosis of CRCs.

Materials and Methods: It was a prospective observational study. All the patients more than 20 years of age and of both sexes were included in this study who were diagnosed with primary localized CRC, metastatic CRC, or recurrent disease. The study was performed in the Department of General Surgery, R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital between January 2020 and August 2021.

Results: Total cases were classified according to Duke staging - 10% in Group A, 19% in Group B, 38% in Group C, and 33% in Group D. In Group A and B, about 35% of patients had increased CEA levels, whereas in Group C and D, more than 90% of patients had increased CEA levels with significant P < 0.05. Overall 80% of the patients had elevated CEA levels, so remaining 20% had normal values. In cases of recurrent colorectal carcinoma, >90% of patients had raised CEA levels, and in metastatic disease cases, CEA level was significantly raised in 82% of patients.

Conclusion: In case of colorectal CA, preoperative raised serum CEA level is associated with poor prognosis, as chance of recurrence increased. Along with that increased CEA level is also associated with increased chance of metastatic disease. Hence, serial monitoring of serum CEA level in postoperative period may help to detect any recurrence early, thus reducing chance of mortality and morbidity.
CĂN TÍNH TRONG VĂN HỌC – CÁC BÌNH DIỆN NGHIÊN CỨU

Bài viết tìm hiểu vấn đề căn tính được khai thác trong văn học, qua ba bình diện: cách thức hình tượng nhân vật, ký ức tự sự và thân thể biểu đạt. Việc xây dựng hình tượng nhân vật cá thể được mô hình hoá theo công thức tự định nghĩa (bởi yếu tố nội tại) và được định nghĩa (bởi yếu tố ngoại tại) trong khi hình tượng cộng đồng được xây dựng từ hai quan niệm dân tộc và đại chúng. Tuỳ theo mỗi phương thức xây dựng hình tượng, căn tính có thể đầy nghĩa hay rỗng nghĩa, có thể đồng nhất hay cạnh tranh với nhau và với xã hội. Ở bình diện ký ức, căn tính được nhìn từ bên trong, qua cách kể chuyện của nhân vật và tác giả. Ở bình diện thân thể, căn tính chuyển từ tinh thần sang cơ thể vật lí, cho thấy cả sự đồng thuận lẫn phản kháng khuôn mẫu xã hội áp đặt trên thân thể. Từ lí thuyết đến một số ví dụ điển hình trong văn học, bài viết mang đến một cái nhìn vừa khái quát vừa cụ thể về vấn đề căn tính trong văn học, cũng như cho thấy hiệu quả phân tích căn tính của nhân vật văn học gắn với nghệ thuật kể chuyện và quan niệm về văn hoá.
