Migration(en) im Geschichte- und Politikunterricht
Authors: Filko Christian
Published: October 2021

Eine vom damaligen Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur in Auftrag gegebene und zwischen 2011 und 2013 durchgeführte Studie zur Darstellung von Migration(en) in Geographie- und Geschichte-Schulbüchern zeigte auf, dass Migration in Schulbüchern größtenteils problematisiert und als ein Phänomen der Anderen dargestellt wird, welches in Österreich zu Herausforderungen im Hinblick auf Integration führt (Hintermann et al., 2013). Diese fatalen Ergebnisse, die die Binnenmigration und Österreich als Schauplatz von Migration nicht thematisieren sowie positive Effekte von Migrationsbewegungen ignorieren, bilden den Ausgangspunkt für den vorliegenden Beitrag. Mit der Einführung des kompetenzorientierten, modularisierten Lehrplans für das Unterrichtsfach Geschichte und Sozialkunde/Politische Bildung (GSP) im Jahr 2016 (BMBF, 2016) wurde mit dem Modul Migration die Querschnittsthematik im GSP-Lehrplan verankert. Da die Schulbücher lehrplankonform verfasst werden müssen, kam es zu zahlreichen Neuauflagen bereits vorhandener Serien, zur Einstellung einiger Schulbuchserien sowie zur Entstehung neuer Schulbuchreihen im Zuge der Lehrplanreform. Der vorliegende Beitrag argumentiert, dass durch die Verankerung des Themenbereichs Migration im Lehrplan auch in den neu approbierten Schulbüchern ein im Vergleich zu den Studienergebnissen von Hintermann et al. (2013) differenzierteres Bild von Migration(en) gezeichnet wird. Hierzu wird nach einem knappen Einblick in den Forschungsstand eine Lehrplananalyse durchgeführt, ehe die Ergebnisse der mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse durchgeführten Schulbuchanalyse präsentiert werden.

Published: October 2021

Aims: To ascertain the prevalence of dental caries using DMFT scores, to characterize the oral health status and associated factors of patients attending the Nasirabad Rural Health Center Dental Clinic, and to develop tools and strategies for collecting data for rural oral hygiene statistics. The district collects baseline data to aid in the improvement of dental health initiatives in rural Sindh. Design: From August 2018 to May 2019, convenience sample research was undertaken. Patients aged 15 or older met the requirements. Adult Oral Health Assessment Form (WHO) was used to gather data on oral health examinations. The Nasirabad Rural Health Centre's Dental Unit used a basic mouth mirror and an explorer to interview and clinically examine all subjects. The tools are sterile. On proformas collected biographic and DMFT data. Microsoft Excel 2016 was used to enter and analyses data. The sample comprised both genders and ages. In this study, dentists calculated the mean DMFT score. Items from an adult oral health questionnaire were modified and categorized as Demographics and Clinical evaluation. Demographic data included the patient's age and gender. The dentition was examined for healthy, decaying, missing, and filled teeth (Ft). Results: Microsoft Excel was used to organize and analyses the data. Males made up 41% of the population, while females made up 59%. Caries prevalence was 96 percent overall, with 204(22%) having a low caries status, 250(26%) having a moderate caries status, and 451(48%) having a high caries status. The mean DMFT score was 11.1424017, the standard deviation was 8.0937, and the Significant Caries Index (SiC) was 20.99363057 based on the DMFT value and the number of participants. Conclusion: The research population had poor oral hygiene and dentition. The mean DMFT Score was 11.1424017 and the frequency of dental caries was 96%, with a female bias. Pakistan is a poor nation with little dental health resources and awareness. Providing public oral health education and motivation, water fluoridation, and adopting newer research-based treatments of remineralization of dental caries must be prioritized. It is a major job for the health profession and the government. This issue is critical for dental health and requires immediate care.

Autism and Panpsychism: Putting Process in Mind
Authors: Delafield-But J.
Published: October 2021

Panpsychism is a metaphysical framework around which science can understand the nature of subjective experience. It affords a scientific view of mind and body as a coherent mindâ–“body unity, with agentive purpose. Fundamental to minds is motor control, a core aspect
that combines sensory experience, its evaluation in choice of agent action, and extension into the public expression of intentional movement. This primary mindâ–“body process appears disturbed in autistic individuals. Empirical analysis of the spatio-temporal properties of
intentional movement in autism shows a disruption to the efficient prospective integration and control of movement, a core aspect of mind. This paper examines the capacity of a panpsychist metaphysic to explain mind as fundamentally constituted by units of mindâ–“body sensorimotor
agency, which can be understood as the basic building blocks of embodied experience. The implications of a post-Cartesian metaphysic in scientific understanding of minds allows for deeper consideration of the role of movement in subjective experience, and its disturbance in autism as a disturbance
to the organization of conscious sensorimotor experience and agency. It's impact on modes of cognition and neural substrates is discussed.

Published: October 2021

The cannulation  of vascular access specially becomes difficult in elderly, diabetic and obese  hemodialysis patients. The accessibility of an AV fistula largely relies on the condition of the patient’s veins, which often leads to difficulty in cannulation with the traditional blind method. South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust (STSFT) Renal unit adopted ultrasound mapping of new cannulation sites for arteriovenous fistulas and arteriovenous grafts. The aim of this study was to evaluate the qualitative impact of this practice on the dialysis patients.

This was a qualitative study and was conducted in the Renal Unit at STSFT. Haemodialysis patients with deep or small vessels for cannulation, a vessel with problems and a vessel whose cannulation on the first attempt was vital were included in the study. AVF/AVG were mapped using Doppler ultrasound (US) undertaken by a consultant Interventional Nephrologist (IN). The map of the AVF/AVG and new cannulation sites were captured as an image on the patients’ smart phone to act as record to show the dialysis nurse cannulating the AVF/AVG. It was hoped that this would encourage rope laddering and AVF/AVG preservation.

Patients reported no significant improvement in cannulation process even after US mapping of new cannulation sites. Patients did report a better understanding of the AVF/AVG geometry especially amongst the self cannulators on home haemodialysis. According to the patients the successful cannulation was mainly dependent on the skills of dialysis nurses rather than the US mapping of the AVF/AVG being of any assistance.

Published: October 2021

Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) eventually progress to kidney failure and require dialysis. These patients often present withcomplicated medical conditions requiring intravenous medical therapies; however, at the same time it is of paramount importance to maintain integrity of veins to provide a future hemodialysis (HD) vascular access. Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are used for patients requiring prolonged intravenous medications. PICC lines may cause local trauma and influence the future vascular access creation. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and indications of PICC lines use in hospitalized patients at a tertiary care hospital.

Patients and Methods: All patients were retrospectively reviewed over 2 months for PICC line placement, indications and their estimated glomerular filtration rate. Results: Total of 147 PICC lines were placed and 20% of such patients had an eGFR <60 ml/min with possible need of vascular access in future.  

Conclusion: Placement of PICC lines in CKD patients is common and should be discouraged due to the possible need in the future for vascular access.

Published: October 2021

Burkitt’s Lymphoma is an aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, with higher incidence in children comprising 30% of pediatric lymphoma. The hallmark of which is a translocation involving c-MYC gene on chromosome 8. Burkitt’s Lymphoma comprises of 6.35% of all lymphoma cases in Pakistan, with male predominance. Lymphoma rarely presents as a primary pathology of acute kidney injury. Burkitt’s lymphoma in adult population is uncommon and few cases have been reported where Burkitt’s lymphoma presents as a cause of acute kidney injury. There are three epidemiological subtypes Endemic (African), sporadic (non-endemic) and immunodeficiency related. Sporadic cases dominate amongst others in Pakistan.

INTRODUCTION : Le cancer de l’œsophage est l’un des cancers les plus fréquents dans le monde touchant plus souvent les sujets masculins que féminins et avec un pronostic sombre. Le but de notre travail était de décrire le profil épidémiologique des patients suivis pour cancer de l’œsophage à l’Institut Joliot-Curie en 2018. MATERIELS ET METHODES : Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective descriptive incluant tous les patients suivis à l’institut du 1er janvier 2018 au 31 décembre 2018 pour cancer de l’œsophage avec une preuve histologique. RESULTATS : Le cancer de l’œsophage représentait le 5ème cancer pris en charge. Nous avons colligé 93 patients référés à l’institut pour la prise en charge d’un cancer de l’œsophage, 46 femmes (49,5%) et 47 hommes (50,5%). L’âge moyen était de 49 ans avec une médiane de 50 ans et des extrêmes de 22 ans et 84 ans. La notion de tabagisme était retrouvée chez 24 patients (25,8%) et concernait exclusivement des hommes (51%), associé chez six cas à une notion d’alcoolisme. Le délai de consultation médian était de cinq mois. La principale circonstance de découverte reste la dysphagie (87,1%), suivie de l’aphagie (4,3%) et de l’odynophagie (4,3%). Le carcinome épidermoïde était le type histologique le plus représenté avec 89 patients (95,7%). L’adénocarcinome était retrouvé chez trois cas (deux hommes et une femme) et enfin un cas de carcinome adénosquameux. CONCLUSION : A l’Institut Joliot Curie de Dakar, le cancer de l’œsophage est essentiellement un carcinome épidermoïde. Il représente la cinquième localisation dans notre institut et survient chez des patients jeunes sans prédominance de sexe.

Nous avons réalisé une étude rétrospective afin d’en rechercher les particularités cliniques et pathologiques ainsi que les éventuels facteurs pronostiques. PATIENTS ET METHODES : Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective portant sur 8 enfants porteurs de GBM confirmé à l’histologie, colligés au service de neurochirurgie du Centre Hospitalier National Universitaire de Fann, du 1er janvier 2016 au 31 décembre 2018. RESULTATS : La fréquence annuelle était de 2,6 cas. On notait une prédominance masculine avec un sex-ratio de 1,6. Le délai de consultation moyen était de 3 mois et demi. Le motif de consultation principal était le syndrome d’hypertension intracrânienne (HTIC) retrouvé chez 62,5% des cas. La région la plus concernée était le lobe pariétal (n=4). Le délai moyen de prise en charge chirurgicale était de 2,3 mois. La chirurgie d’exérèse a permis une résection macroscopiquement complète dans la moitié des cas. L’étude histologique avait retrouvé huit cas de glioblastome classé grade IV de l’OMS. Un seul patient avait bénéficié d’une radio-chimiothérapie adjuvante. Le taux de mortalité à 6 mois était de 85,7% avec une médiane de survie de 6,5 mois.  CONCLUSION : Les glioblastomes demeurent une rareté chez l’enfant. Le traitement multimodal associant chirurgie d’exérèse, chimio- et radiothérapie reste le garant pour un meilleur pronostic.

Hotspots and Trends of Graduate Public Health Education Research in China
Authors: Feng Sha , Bai Jian , Zhang Jichun , Lin Song
Published: October 2021

Academic research trends involving public health education may reflect a certain degree of talent construction status. This study systematically reviews the data for published literature on graduate public health education, aiming to provide evidence for the optimization of public health postgraduate training mechanisms in China. Keyword cooccurrence analysis was performed based on high-frequency keywords. From 1992 to 2008, the annual number of publications in this field was relatively low in China, averaging fewer than 5 articles. The number of publications showed a steep increase after 2009. The publications were mostly from single research institutions, including comprehensive universities and military medical universities, concentrated in Beijing and Shanghai. The high-frequency keywords were public health and preventive medicine, postgraduate training, professional degree, MPH, curriculum, and teaching reform. Hotspots consisted of practical teaching research, training, educational reform and comparative education research. Research on public health postgraduate education has not reached scale and has insufficient support. Moreover, many problems in graduate public health education still cannot be solved by existing studies: authentic and practical learning, a unified approach to cultivate graduate students, organizational change of graduate public health education, and international cooperation and public health education.
Have IT improvements had positive impacts on international trade?
Authors:   Department of Economics, Aichi University, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, Y Kurihara
Published: October 2021

IT (Information Technology) was invented and penetrated into our daily lives and business world from the 1980s. It has also spread quickly in developed economies. This study examines whether such phenomenon has impacted international trade. More concretely, this study empirically examines the relationship (1) between the improvement of banking and financial services and international trade, (2) between the Internet speed and international trade, and (3) mobile subscribers and international trade. The empirical results show that GDP per capita is positively related with international trade significantly. Moreover, they show that banking and financial services can increase international trade. Also, Internet speed is significantly associated with promoting international trade. However, there is no evidence that the spreading use of mobile has caused increasing international trade. If the pros of the spreading use of mobile related IT are large, there is some room for promoting this transition. Security, reliability, and so on are key factors to promote mobile into business, including international trade.
Putting Risk Factors in Context: an Anti-Oppression Approach
Authors: Gilbert Cyndi , Millyard Arlie
Published: October 2021

Risk factors can be useful tools for assessing patients and choosing interventions. However, discussions of social determinants (e.g. race, gender, sex, and sexual orientation) can portray those social categories as non-modifiable and biologically determined, erase the profound physiological effects of oppression, and support negative stereotypes or associations between marginalized groups and disease. In this paper we provide context to three commonly discussed social determinants of health to help clinicians avoid perpetuating stereotypes, better understand the root causes of disease, and provide appropriate naturopathic care and guidance for risk prevention.

Supportive Naturopathic Management of Long-Term Effects of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment
Authors: Fontes Mark
Published: October 2021

With the number of childhood cancer survivors rising steadily each year,1 it is important that physicians are adept at managing long-term sequelae of treatment.2 Advances in cancer treatments have significantly increased childhood cancer survival rates since the 1970’s.1,3 Recent research estimates that 67% of childhood cancer survivors will develop at least one late-onset treatment related adverse effect and in 25% of survivors that side effect may be life-threatening.2 Leukemia is the most commonly diagnosed childhood cancer (32% of all cases), specifically acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), which most commonly occurs before the age of five.1,3 This article will discuss the importance of monitoring long-term sequelae from the treat-ment of survivors of ALL and review current literature on safe and effective naturopathic interventions for managing side effects of conven-tional ALL treatment and potential long-term complications.

Authors: Beernink Cindy , Martin Juniper , Menk Otto Laurie
Published: October 2021

While the number of deaths and hospitalizations caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the disease it causes (COVID-19) have captured public attention, a wave of chronic disease is also resulting from the pandemic. Some survivors of COVID-19, even those whose symptoms were too mild to warrant hospitalization, have struggled with persistent symptoms months after initial infection. SARS-CoV-2 affects several body systems and generates a wide variety of symptoms including dyspnea, myalgia, fatigue, and brain fog. It is yet unknown who is at risk of long-term disease, how long these symptoms may last, and what the long-term sequelae of the damage inflicted by this virus may be.
NDs must adapt their practices to include consideration of COVID-19 as a differential diagnosis or root cause for a wide range of clinical presentations. The purpose of this article is to review the evidence of some of the longer-term effects and symptoms of COVID-19 that NDs may encounter in clinical practice, with background information on other post-infection syndromes for context.

WNF Commentary: Rapid Reviews
Authors: Lloyd Iva , Steel Amie
Published: October 2021

At the time of writing this commentary, knowledge on the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and how to effectively treat it is lacking. The role of naturopathic treatment approaches or those from the realm of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (T&CM) have received limited attention with respect to their potential role in this pandemic. 
Based on contemporary research evidence, traditional knowledge and the extensive training and experience of naturopathic doctors (NDs) in pharmacognosy, herbal medicine and clinical nutrition there is reason to believe that naturopathic approaches warrant consideration among the span of possible aids to the global response to COVID-19. Hence, the naturopathic profession undertook the task of conducting rapid reviews to assess the role of specific recommendations in the prevention or treatment of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) inclusive of, but not limited to, COVID-19. The focus of all rapid reviews was limited to human studies specific to URTIs either as original research or systematic reviews. 
With the support of nine naturopathic educational institutions which included a team of over 40 naturopathic researchers, practitioners and content experts from seven countries and five WHO world regions, in two short months the profession has produced ten rapid reviews related to the role of natural health products in treating acute respiratory tract infections, with a further two reviews in draft. These rapid reviews will be published individually and as a dedicated issue of the scientific journal Advances in Integrative Medicine (Elsevier publication). They will be made open-access – meaning they will be free for download. The Task Force was chaired by WNF President Dr Iva Lloyd with Dr Amie Steel and Professor Jon Wardle as research leads. 
These rapid reviews demonstrate the naturopathic profession’s dedication to evidence-informed decision making and their commitment to being part of the solution to this global pandemic. 
The following is a brief overview of the findings from the completed reviews.
