Published: June 2024

The paper analyzes the problem of accelerated maturation of children-athletes with reference to the theories of socialization and constructing their own maturation. To study the stated problem the theoretical and applied works of the researchers N. V. Veselkova and E. V. Pryamikova, aimed at revealing the social nature of the maturation competence, as well as two author's sociological researches were used. The first is "Longevity in sports of highest achievements", which was carried out by the method of questionnaire survey of high-class athletes (n = 400 people). The second is "Temporality as a factor of intensification of growing up", conducted by the method of focus-group of veteran athletes (n = 17 people) was realized at the Department of General Sociology and Social Work of National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod in 2023. The object of the study is the process of accelerated maturation of children integrated into the sphere of sports activities. The purpose of the study is to identify the factors contributing to the intensification of the process of growing up of children-athletes. As a result, the author's interpretation of the concept of "accelerated maturation" of child athletes is proposed. The system of factors contributing to the accelerated maturation of this category of population is revealed: individualization and autonomy of the subject, temporality of sports space, enhanced social mobility of children in the field of sports, critical thinking, success of minors as a result of achievements in sports and recognition of their merits in society.

Authors: Vojdani Salman , Hojjati Sarah , Sadeghi Mazidi Zahra , Talebi Moghaddam Maryam
Published: June 2024

Background & Objectives: There is conflicting evidence regarding the effects of exercise on shoulder impingement syndrome. Exercise therapy is one of the methods used to reduce pain and increase muscle strength in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. There are several exercise therapy programs available in this area. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of exercise therapy on pain and disability in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
Materials & Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted in 25 patients with impingement syndrome from the Dastgheib Yasaei Pain Clinic in Fasa. Patients were randomized to receive medication (n=13) or medication plus exercise therapy (n=12). The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Verbal Numeric Rating Scale were used to measure disability and pain intensity before and after the intervention. Patient satisfaction was measured using the Likert scale. Independent and paired t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-squared were performed at a significant level of P≤0.05. Analyses were performed with SPSS software (version 25.0).
Results: There were no differences between groups in pre-intervention demographics (P>0.05), pain intensity (P=0.16), and ODI scores (0.93). Post-intervention pain and ODI scores were significantly higher in the medication group than in the medication-exercise group (P=0.06, P=0.03, respectively). There was a significant difference in pain and ODI scores at post-intervention compared to pre-intervention in both groups (P<0.001). The difference in pain intensity between pre- and post-intervention in both groups was also statistically significant (P=0.006). There was a significant difference in patient satisfaction between groups (P=0.03).
Conclusion: These results suggest that a regular exercise program, along with medication, may be effective in reducing pain and disability in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

Published: June 2024

Background & Objectivs: Today, despite the existence of numerous treatments for tennis elbow, the search for more effective methods continues due to the limited efficacy of these existing approaches. This study aimed to compare the results of tennis elbow treatment in two groups: patients receiving corticosteroid injection and casting, and patients receiving acupuncture and physiotherapy.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study, conducted in Jiroft in 2021, investigated the effectiveness of different treatment approaches for tennis elbow. Fifty patients diagnosed with tennis elbow were randomly divided into two groups of 25 each. One group received a combination of corticosteroids and casts, while the other group received acupuncture and physiotherapy. A pain line was used to assess pain levels based on VAS criteria. Data were analyzed using SPSS-26 statistical software, employing Chi-square, Fisher’s Exact, Mann-Whitney, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.
Results: The majority of patients were female (66%) and housewives (46%). There was a significant difference in pain outcomes between the two groups: physiotherapy alone and physiotherapy combined with corticosteroids and casts. This difference was observed across various conditions (pain at rest, pain during activity, and amount of pain evoked during activity) (p <0.05). In simpler terms, corticosteroids and casts were more effective in reducing pain from tennis elbow compared to acupuncture and physiotherapy. Additionally, corticosteroids and casts had a greater effect on hand movement (supination, pronation, extension, and flexion) compared to acupuncture and physiotherapy.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that treatment of tennis elbow with a combination of corticosteroid injection and casting is more effective than acupuncture or physiotherapy alone. Corticosteroid injections themselves are also an effective way to relieve tennis elbow pain.

Background
Attempting suicide is considered one of the important indicators of the mental health of individuals in society. One of the important issues in suicide is psychiatric disorders and related factors. Given that no comprehensive study was conducted in Yazd province, this study aimed to assess psychiatric disorders in patients with suicide attempts.
Methods
This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 344 patients with suicide attempts at Shahid Beheshti Hospital from March 2021 to March 2022. The type of psychiatric illness was diagnosed based on the clinical interview and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. All information was extracted from medical records entered into SPSS version 22 and analyzed. P < 0.05 was assumed significant.
Results
The average age of the patients was 27.09 ± 11.78 years. Among them, 145 were men (42.2%) and 199 were women (57.8%). The most common psychiatric disorder was Major depressive disorder (MDD) (46.5%). Moreover, the lowest frequency of psychiatric disorders was schizophrenia (1.2%). There was a significant relation between psychiatric disorders and variables, including age, number of suicides, gender, and suicide method (P < 0.05). A significant relation was seen between the severity of diseases and gender (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Among the various types of psychiatric disorders, MDD was more prevalent in individuals who commit suicide. Hence, it was essential to focus more attention on this particular group of patients. Additionally, the use of medication was the most common method of suicide. It should also be noted that the severity of suicide was higher in men.

Published: June 2024

Background: Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are among the most prevalent congenital defects observed in neonates, leading to structural and functional abnormalities in the heart. This research examines the prevalence of CHDs and its various subcategories among neonates admitted at Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd, Iran, from 2022 to 2023. The study also aims to assess the presence of risk factors among infants diagnosed with CHDs.
Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, encompassing all neonates diagnosed with CHDs. Echocardiography was conducted to classify the specific type of CHDs, and a questionnaire was administered to the parents of neonates with CHDs to identify potential risk factors.
Results: Out of 1149 newborns admitted to the hospital in one year, 29 (2.52%) were diagnosed with CHDs, and 9 of them died from the condition. The prevalence of CHDs and the mortality rate were 2.5% and 0.78%, respectively. The most common defect was atrial septal defect (ASD), affecting 19 newborns (65.5% of cases), and 15 newborns exhibited multiple defects within the subtypes of CHDs.
Conclusion: Our research reveals that the incidence of CHDs among newborns in our area was 2.52%, with a mortality rate of 0.78% within a one-year timeframe. More than half of CHD cases were found in offspring of consanguineous unions, suggesting a potential risk factor within the Yazd community, likely linked to the prevalent custom of consanguineous marriages in the region.

Cochlear implantation is a high-tech method of rehabilitation of patients with progressive hearing loss, up to deafness. Ossification of the cochlear spiral canal is no longer considered a surgical contraindication for cochlear implantation (CI). However, performing the surgical stage of CI in patients with ossification of the cochlea spiral canal may be accompanied by a number of difficulties. The advanced process of ossification and remodeling can lead to significant difficulty in inserting the electrode into the cochlea, leading to the risk of incomplete insertion. Today, the introduction of an electrode represents the greatest problem during ossification or remodeling of the cochlea since it carries the risk of complications and determines the prospects for subsequent rehabilitation. In addition to incomplete insertion of the electrode, special attention is paid to possible post-implantation stimulation of the facial nerve. Despite the achievement of significant results in the development of surgical techniques for the cochlea ossification management, there are still frequent discrepancies in the assessment of the length of the ossification of the descending segment of the basal coil according to the temporal bones computed tomography (CT) performed at the preoperative stage and the results of intraoperative assessment of the length of the ossification area of the cochlea spiral canal.

Vestibular neuronitis (VN) is a peripheral vestibulopathy clinically manifested by an acute vestibular syndrome without hearing loss resulting from unilateral peripheral hyporeflexia. Symptoms of acute systemic vertigo may accompany sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) in 30–57% of cases. The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the occurrence of diseases are currently poorly understood. Objective. To investigate the peculiarities of vestibular receptor damage in patients with VN and patients with SSHL. Results. 27 patients with VN (age 36.7±14.2 years) and 59 patients with SSHL (age 43.7±10.8 years) were examined on the basis of the Sverzhevskiy Research Institute of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology. Despite the similar clinical picture of acute vestibular crisis in the two diseases, the structure of damage of peripheral vestibular receptors in patients with unilateral SSHL and patients with VN had significant differences: in patients with SSHL accompanied by vertigo, the most frequent were disorder of the sacculus (57%) and posterior semicircular canal (78%), whereas in patients with VN, dysfunction of the horizontal semicircular canal (92%) and utriculus (63%). The obtained results may indicate the difference in pathogenetic mechanisms of damage to peripheral vestibular receptors underlying the occurrence of diseases.

Published: June 2024

Cultivation of red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) requires good water quality. Physiological processes and organ structures can be disrupted when water quality including dissolved oxygen, water temperature, pH, salinity and ammonia exceeds the normal threshold. Aeration and filtration in fish farming can help improve water quality which affects the improvement of physiological processes and spleen function of red tilapia. The study was purposed to analyze the use of aerators, filters and a combination of both on the histomorphometry and structure of the spleen of red tilapia. This study used a completely randomized design with a 2×2 factorial arrangement. Each main factor consists of two levels, such as aeration i.e., single aeration and double aeration and filtration i.e., without filter and with filter. The experimental fish in the study were 24 red tilapia fish which were divided into four treatment groups, which included single aeration without filter, double aeration without filter, single aeration with filter, and double aeration with filter. The results showed that the interaction between aeration and filters had no significant effect (P>0.05) on spleen weight, Relative Spleen Weight (RSW), red pulp diameter, white pulp diameter, melanomacrophage center (MMC) diameter, and MMC cell diameter. The conclusion of this study was that the aeration, filters and combination of aeration and filters could maintain the chemical quality of water so there was no adverse effect on the histomorphometry and structure of the spleen of red tilapia

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common diseases in dogs that is multifactorial and usually attacks dogs aged between 6-36 months. This study was aimed to determine the histopathological appearance of the skin of dogs suffering from atopic dermatitis after treated with eco enzyme. Eco enzyme is a liquid product resulting from the fermentation of organic kitchen waste product such as fruit and vegetable dregs, molasses, and water. This study used five dogs suffering from atopic dermatitis which were divided into two groups. Group A: three dogs samples were bathed with 10% eco enzyme liquid every three days for 28 days. In Group B: two samples of dogs were bathed with 10% eco enzyme every three days until the 9th day, followed by a 2% eco enzyme bath once a week (13th, 20th, 27th day). Both treatment groups started from day 0 until day 28. Skin samples were taken using the biopsy method and histopathological changes were observed by making histopathological skin preparations stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin. Observations of the preparations were carried out using a light microscope. Data were analyzed using the Analysis of Variance test followed by the Duncan multiple range test and the Kruskall Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney test, then the data was explained descriptively. The results of the Anova test showed that the thickness of the dogs epidermis treated with 2% and 10% eco enzyme was significantly different (P<0.05). The Kruskall Wallis test for scoring inflammatory cell infiltration and degeneration showed that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the administration of 2% and 10% eco enzyme. Eco enzyme liquid is able to reduce atopic dermatitis lesions in dogs. Giving eco enzyme at a concentration of 10% and followed by a concentration of 2% with an extended application time can return the histological structure of the dog’s skin to normal, especially the thickness of the epidermis, reduce inflammatory cell infiltration, and reduce degeneration.

Introduction: Women's choice to undergo vaccination against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is shaped by a multitude of factors. This study seeks to investigate the differences of intentions and attitudes toward the HPV vaccine and its effect size among women categorized into three groups based on their level of self-efficacy.
Methods: As many as 441 respondents were selected using the consecutive sampling method. The samples were divided into three groups based on their level of self-efficacy (low, medium, and high). The research employed a cross-sectional design from 13 May to 15 June 2023 in the working area of Public Health Centers located in Jakarta by implementing individual home visits. The research instruments comprised the Self-Efficacy Scale for HPV vaccination, the Intentions to Receive the HPV Vaccine Questionnaire, and the Attitude of HPV, Cervical Cancer, and Vaccine HPV Questionnaire; all were declared valid and reliable. The Kruskal-Wallis Test, the Tukey HSD Post Hoc Test, and the Epsilon Squared Test were performed to examine intention and attitude based on the type of self-efficacy and the effect size found.
Results: Significant differences were observed in intention (p<0.001) and attitude (p<0.001) among the three self-efficacy groups, demonstrating relatively robust effect sizes (attitude: ε2=0.109, p<0.001; intention: ε2=0.159, p<0.001).
Conclusions:The research demonstrated discernible discrepancies in intention and attitude across the three sample groups distinguished by their self-efficacy levels. It is advisable to design interventions focusing on health promotion that highlight the diverse needs and characteristics of different groups of women.

Introduction: The significance of nurses' disaster preparedness and resilience in diverse settings has become increasingly apparent due to the rise in global crises. This study aimed to investigate nurses' perspectives on these two factors and to examine their intricate relationships and nuances.
Methods: A cross-sectional framework was used to evaluate 390 nurses using the Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Spearman's correlation analysis, and the generalized linear model were employed to determine the relationships between nurses' characteristics, self-regulation, work culture perception, and their DPET and CD-RISC scores.
Results: The results revealed that 79.7% of the participants were female, but male nurses consistently scored higher on both the assessments. The average DPET score was 172.29, and the average CD-RISC score was 27.34. Self-regulation and work culture perception were the most influential factors in raising DPET and CD-RISC scores by 4.032 and 1.454 units (p=0.000), and 1.112 and 0.34 units (p=0.000).
Conclusions: This study emphasizes the need for ongoing training of nurses in disaster preparedness and resilience to promote introspective learning and collaborative best practices. It also highlights the role of hospitals in optimizing resources and creating a supportive environment for enhanced disaster preparedness and resilience, given the impact of organizational work culture. The study findings suggest a nuanced understanding of gender dynamics in disaster preparedness and resilience, emphasizing the importance of further exploration of these disparities for effective nursing practices.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Caring for people with chronic diseases is physically and emotionally demanding. It can also have adverse effects on the caretaker, such as depression. Caregiver burden describes the psychological and financial strains of providing care. Depression in caregivers’ manifests as concern, indecision, and an inability to feel the future. Chronic disease is a condition that takes a long time to treat and may progressively get worse over time. This study aims to identify the level of caregiver burden and depression and the correlation between burden and depression among caregivers of patients with chronic diseases.
Methods: A self-administered questionnaire containing the Caregiver Burden Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory was used to measure caregiver burden and depression among 217 caregivers of patients with chronic diseases in a teaching hospital in the Klang Valley.
Results: The findings showed that the majority of caregivers experienced a mild burden (n = 168, 77.4%), a moderate burden (n = 43, 19.8%), and a severe burden (n = 6, 2.8%). Following mild depression (n = 17, 7.8%), moderate depression (n = 15, 6.9%), and severe depression (n = 4, 1.8%), some caregivers experienced minimal depression (n = 181, 83.4%). According to Pearson's analysis, the link between caregiver burden and depression was statistically significant (p<0.000) with a positive correlation (r = 0.408).
Conclusion: In this study, caregivers experienced burden and depression due to providing care. Future studies should incorporate support and resources for caregivers, including respite care and counselling that can promote overall well-being.

Introduction: This study aimed to acquire students' perceptions of the assessment items used by instructors implemented in the community-based Interprofessional Education (IPE) program during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also compared the students’ perceptions of the instructors’ assessment items regarding student characteristics. Motivation for joining the IPE program and a comparison between motivation and gender and disciplines were also identified in this study.
Methods: The research method is observational with a cross-sectional approach. Sixth-semester medical, nursing, and nutrition students who had completed the community-based IPE program were involved. Students' perception was measured using a questionnaire on the instructors’ assessment items developed based on the IPE competencies. Motivation was measured using a Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ).
Results: A majority of students across the three programs agreed or strongly agreed with the assessment items, and there were no significant differences in student perceptions from the variables of gender (p = 0.23) and disciplines (p = 0.68). The correlation between students' motivation and their perception of the instructors’ assessment items was significant (r_s = 0.61 with p < 0.01). However, there was a weak and not significant correlation between students' grade point average (GPA) with the perception of assessment items (r_s= 0.1 with p = 0.07).
Conclusions: All instructors’ assessment items were still perceived as relevant and can be used to assess the students during IPE online learning. Thus, the result of this study can be considered to be used in another setting with a similar situation.
