Authors: Pratama Antonius Nugraha Widhi , Aulia Fardina , Christianty Fransiska Maria
Published: March 2022

Background: A keystone to achieving successful therapy is medication adherence, supported by the patient’s self-efficacy on using medication. In Indonesia, the development of quality instruments to measure patient adherence based on self-efficacy remains limited.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication use Scale (SEAMS-I) in patients with stroke.

Methods: After forward and backward translations, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among ambulatory patients with stroke attending a neurology clinic of a public hospital in Jember, East Java, Indonesia, to evaluate the instrument’s structural validity and reliability using convenience sampling.

Results: A total of 114 participants (62, 54.4% males) signed the informed consent, and exploratory factor analysis was performed on the 12-item SEAMS-I. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was 0.815, with a significant Bartlett’s sphericity test p < 0.001 and a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.851.

Conclusion: The SEAMS-I demonstrated good structural validity and reliability when tested in patients with stroke.

Published: March 2022

Using lightweight components to reduce vehicle mass is one of the tactics available to vehicle manufacturers to reduce CO2 emissions. Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composite with its high strength to density ratio is one of the potential materials to reduce component mass. The lessons learned from three research and development projects on automotive chassis structural components designed, manufactured and tested using carbon fibre composites provides insights into the opportunities for mass reduction and the cost, manufacturing and analysis challenges that combine to limit the applicability of carbon fibre composites in high volume automotive use. Projects investigated three structural cassis components, the Focus rear suspension tie blade knuckle, the F-150 front suspension lower control arm, and the Fusion (Mondeo) front subframe. All the projects developed, analysed, manufactured and tested carbon fibre composite replacement components that fit the package and met equivalent performance requirements to the production parts. Then the designs and manufacturing plans informed the cost estimates for these components at high automotive volumes. The tie blade knuckle chose thermoplastic resin while the front lower control arm and subframe investigated thermoset resin carbon fibre composites. Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites offer the opportunity of approximately a 30% mass reduction compared to a steel component. This mass savings is less than anticipated. Due to the high constituent material costs of both the carbon fibre and the high performance resin, the complex manufacturing processes, and the final assembly processes the resultant "weight buy" exceeds an additional $35 USD of variable cost per kilogram of mass saved compared to the production steel component. All three of the components investigated require multi material solutions that include both random chopped and oriented continuous carbon fibre composites plus steel reinforcements at high point load areas such as the bolted connections. Also, the predictive CAE tools are not yet fully mature for carbon fibre composites leading to lower confidence initial designs.

Modifiable risk factors are behaviours and exposures that can raise or lower a person's risk of developing diseases. These risk factors by themselves are modifiable and have been shown to drive midlife chronic diseases. This study investigated the roles of modifiable risk factors (i.e., hypertension, diabetes, stroke, measures of adiposity, and physical activity among others) on global cognition in rural community dwellers from southeast Nigeria. One hundred and fifty participants (95 females and 55 males; age = 58.6; SD age = 4.8) were recruited for the study through a door-to-door approach. Montreal Cognitive Assessment was used to capture global cognition. Self-report measures and standardized instruments were used respectively, to gather information on modifiable risk factors and measures of adiposity. Because this was a pilot study, two rural communities were selected based on proximity and convenience for the research team. Linear analysis of variance and multiple regression statistics were used for data analysis. Result showed significant differences at p< 0.05 level on global cognition between diabetic and non-diabetic groups as well as stroke and non-stroke groups. Physical activity was shown as significant predictor of global cognition while sleep and social relations were not. Equally, arm (Beta = 0.31) and waist (Beta= 0.12) circumferences significantly predicted global cognition and underweight participants performed significantly worse F(3,148) = 2.6) on global cognition.

O objetivo do artigo é analisar qual a concepção de formação humana está presente nos Cadernos de Formação do Instituto de Corresponsabilidade pela Educação (ICE). Para isso, recorremos a esse material para observar quais as principais orientações do modelo pedagógico da Escola da Escolha. A técnica utilizada para trabalhar com os dados foi a Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD) (MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2006) e o método que norteou a pesquisa foi o materialismo histórico-dialético. Os achados mostram que o ICE busca contribuir com a formação de estudantes flexíveis para uma sociedade em constante transformação. Na aparência, os cadernos defendem uma formação humana centrada na excelência acadêmica e no desenvolvimento de competências socioemocionais. Entretanto, na essência, a defesa se alinha ao perfil ideal de trabalhador exigido pelo capitalismo na atualidade. Logo, o papel da escola, para esse Instituto, é formar sujeitos produtivos, flexíveis e que saibam trabalhar em equipe.

Published: March 2022

Three-dimensional imaging, particularly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), has made significant contributions to the planning and placement of implants of missing tooth or at immediately removed tooth. The accuracy of CBCT data can be used to fabricate a surgical guide that transfers the implant planning information to the surgical site to facilitate implant placement. Prosthetically driven implant prosthesis assures good aesthetics, function and more importantly hygiene maintenance enabling long time success. Accuracy in treatment planning and implementation of planned treatment is vital for this success. Here we describe a method for applying CBCT data to aid in the planning and placement of implant using CBCT data to aid in planning and placement of Missing and immediate extracted tooth implant.

Authors:   Pediatric Surgery Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Hospital del Mar, Parc de Salut Mar, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain, Bianchi Federica
Published: March 2022

Precocious puberty (PP) is defined by development of secondary sexual characteristics before eight years old in girls. Autonomous ovarian follicular cysts in prepubertal girls are rare but the most common cause of gonadotropin-independent PP. Current management is debated. We report a case of PP due to an autonomous ovarian cyst in a 3-year-old girl with a month history of vaginal bleeding and breast development; the patient underwent surgical intervention. There is no consensus as to the superiority of surgical versus pharmaceutical management in the autonomous ovarian cysts in prepubertal girls. Surgical management should be deferred as long as possible to permit a spontaneous resolution of cysts. If a surgical intervention is made, conservation of normal ovarian tissue is mandatory

Published: March 2022

Purpose: To present the diversity of clinical features, diagnostic approach with treatment outcome in four cases of ocular tuberculosis. Methods: An observational case series of four cases of ocular tuberculosis. Detail history, thorough ocular and systemic examination, Fundus fluorescein angiography, B-scan untrasonography ; Optical Coherence tomography scan, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, Skin test for tubercle protein, histopathological examination of biopsy from lesion were performed according to the cases. Diagnosis was made by clinical history, ocular findings, appropriate ancillary tests and laboratory investigations according to the merit of the diseases. Response to anti tuberculous therapy (ATT) were observed which gave an anchor to the diagnosis. Results: Among four cases of ocular tuberculosis ,three were female last case was male and all of them were at or under the age of fourty. Two patients had extra ocular manifestation; one was tuberculous dacryoadenitis & other was tuberculous dacryocystitis. Two patients had eyeball involvement; one was tuberculous necrotizing scleritis, another one had tubercular vasculitis retinae. Out of four three had unilateral involvement. Three of them respond well to anti TB & anti inflammatory therapies; one respond to anti TB therapy only. Conclusions: Tuberculosis can affect any structure of eye and adnexae.The diagnosis is difficult because of diversity of presentation and most of the time there is absent of concurrent systemic infection. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent blindness or severe ocular morbidity. In cases of non healing lesion and atypical inflammatory presentation, we stress the need for a high index of suspicion regarding tuberculosis.
Rate of Profit, Wages, and Crisis A Marxist Perspective of The Theory of Crisis
Authors:   Department of Business Administration, Saint Peter’s University, USA, Issa Samar
Published: March 2022

The goal of this paper is two-fold. First, the paper aims to discuss Karl Marx’s theory of the falling rate of profit and the alternate, probably inconsistent, Marxian theory of crisis based on the rise of wages. Second, the paper examines the relevance of these theories in our days by reviewing important literature on both classical and neoclassical analysis of crisis. A thorough review of literature revealed that Marx’s focus was to provide a real science that explains the phenomena of recurrent crisis in the capitalist society, as opposed to explaining specific incidents that triggers a certain crisis. Marx viewed the capitalist crisis as an endogenous function to the capitalist society itself
Medication by Physical Exercise of the Upper Limb in Deforming Spastic Paresis (Stroke); Conventional Physiotherapy Versus Supervised Self- rehabilitation: A Multicentre Prospective, Controlled and Randomized, Single-blind Study over a Period of One Year
Authors:   Faculty of Medicine Sorbonne University (France), Moumeni Ibrahim Npochinto
Published: March 2022

Background: Some patients who have had a stroke develop paresis. With time it can become spastic and even distorting. Spastic deforming paresis is often accentuated in the upper limb. It is a real brake in the performance of daily activities, with a psychological impact. The physical therapy of the upper limb today, appears like a real sea snake. Hence the strategies of physical medication must be thought out, studied and developed on a daily basis to overcome this unsightly condition. Objective: Is conventional physiotherapy more effective than supervised self-rehabilitation, in terms of functional recovery in deforming spastic paresis after stroke of the upper limb? This was the major question / objective of this study. Methods: Our study was a multicenter, prospective, interventional, controlled, and randomized, single-blind study. Comparing conventional physiotherapy versus supervised self-rehabilitation over a 12-month period. We recruited 37 patients in France and Spain more than 6 months after their stroke. The judgment tool used during all phases (1st day; 6 months; 9 months and 12 months) of the assessment was the modified Frenchay scale (MFS). Results: The mean age of our cohort was 69 ± 7 years and the mean mounts after stroke was 11,9 ± 5 months. Supervised self-rehabilitation was significantly superior to conventional physiotherapy during the three evaluations carried out on the modified Frenchay scales. At 6 months: 5.99 ± 4.7 Vs 6.97 ± 2.1 (P <0.5). At 9 months: 6.71 ± 9.4; against 7.83 ± 4.1 (P <0.5). Three months after the follow up, we reassessed the patients to see the residual effect, the retention of acquired knowledge and behavioral adaptation after the protocol: 6.57 ± 11, Vs 7.9 ± 6 (P= 0,14). Conclusion: Supervised self-rehabilitation is more effective than conventional physiotherapy. Because from 6 months, and 9 months, a statistically significant difference is demonstrated. this difference persists even 3 months after stopping the follow-up. For the techniques used in the supervised self-rehabilitation group: learning a motor skill could strengthen the circuits of spinal interneurons that facilitate movement. We realized that learning a simple and reciprocating movement, associated with activo-dynamic stretching, done several times a day on target muscles (antagonists were more significant than traditional physiotherapy which, it was rather holistic and nonspecific) would produce an influence in the spinal cord. And, over time, would promote reciprocal inhibition between antagonist and agonist muscles. All the same, further studies with a larger cohort must be carried out in order to conclude on this mentioned neurophysiological hypothesis.

This descriptive study was done during the period from 3 to 11 June 2021 to determine the level of SARS-CoV-2 antispike IgG among Healthcare workers after the first dose of Oxford-AstraZenka vaccine in Khartoum state. A total of 40 blood samples were randomly collected. Four ml of blood samples have been collected from each participant and placed in a plain container to obtain serum samples after centrifugation for SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike IgG. The serum samples were analyzed using Chorus TRIO analyzer based of (Enzyme-Linked- Immuno Sorbent-Assay) technique. Our results showed that 22 (55%) of the participants were females whereas 18 (45%) were males. Most of the participants 28 (70%) aged 25-30 years old and most of them 35 (87.5%) reside in Omdurman city. Several clinical symptoms have been exhibited by participants after vaccination, ranging from arm pain at the side of the injection, headache, fever, fatigue, and GIT disturbances. With the exception of one participant, none of them have a history of previous COVID19 infection. Our results showed that 30 (75.0%) of participants were reactive (positive SARS-CoV-2 IgG) after the first dose of Oxford-AstraZenka and SARS-CoV anti-spike IgG antibody titers ranged from 1.2-2.7 S/CO and a few of participants 9 (22.5%) showed doubtful result and only one participant 2.5% have shown negative result for anti-spike IgG antibody. The mean antibody titer for male 1.47 was significantly lower than female 1.49 with P-value 0.18. Our results confirm earlier studies on Oxford-AstraZenka vaccine efficacy

Authors:   Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, Master of Medical Microbiology, Iran, Khanifar Ali
Published: March 2022

Because the covid-19 virus is amazingly mutating, we urgently need a lot of articles in this area. In light of recent events, we have been writing an article on the mutagenicity of the covid-19 virus and treatment with morphine. The covid-19 virus is an exception due to its non-segmented genome, its mutagenicity. Also in this article morphine is a suitable drug because it neutralizes most of the symptoms of the covid-19 virus. Morphine increases immunity against the virus due to the presence of mu3 receptors on the surface of immune cells. Morphine also counteracts symptoms such as shortness of breath, pain, and even diarrhea. Diarrhea has been reported in cases of the covid-19 virus.

Published: March 2022

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global challenge for the health care community. It typically presents with fever, generalized fatigue, dyspnea and rarely with chest pain due to involvement of heart. We report a 26-year-old young man with no significant risk factor for coronary artery disease who presented with chest pain and elevated troponin due to myopericarditis. Cardiac ischemic work up was negative for acute coronary artery disease. However, his PCR came positive for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. To decrease morbidity and mortality in young adults, clinicians should be aware of atypical presentation of COVID-19 pneumonia to diagnose in an early stage and initiate prompt treatment management. Learning Points • Identify myopericarditis as an atypical presentation of COVID-19 • Early recognition and prompt treatment initiation can prevent cardiac complications and mortality

COVID has become one of the deadliest obligate intracellular pathogens in over 100 years. COVID pandemic’s devastation causing to date 6.05+ million global deaths from over 460 million confirmed positive infections globally in just 2 years and close to 964,000+ US deaths out of 79.5 million confirmed positive cases in the US, continues with no sign of eradication of the virus. Antigenic variation is a predominant way of microorganisms causing human diseases to evade innate and acquired immunity. A major reason for that is COVID’s ability to evade human innate and acquired immune defenses by antigenic variation and to breach the weaker immune defenses of those among us who could not mount a timely and effective immune response to sustain ferocious attack on lungs and survive with great difficulty or succumb to an inability to breathe. While it is globally observed by Physician scientists that the OMICRON variant is highly transmissible but causes only MILD symptoms, because it is present only in the upper respiratory tract. A more virulent variant having a similar ability to spread fast could be catastrophic. How can immune evasion by COVID and its emerging variants be circumvented with better vaccines and treatments? It is high time to develop second generation of vaccines with broader protection that more closely simulates natural infection and viral entry inhibitors, eg. enveloped virus neutralizing compounds (EVNCs) that have proven broad spectrum neutralization of pandemic Influenza viruses like H5N1 or SARS-CoV-1, could prove effective against emerged and rapidly emerging strains of COVID like Omicron. A lab. Report a year after prior severe COVID infections but without any vaccine or booster dose clearly suggests that natural immunity acquired during infection is long lasting and should be meaningfully recognized by CDC and other agencies as, at least equivalent by immunization with vaccines against the emerging variants mutating periodically due to genetic variation and viral evasion.

Given the immediate circumstances of the looming Covid-19 pandemic, now more than ever it is important for vaccinations to be given and received. Far from the celebration that a vaccine for this deadly disease should have received, there is more controversy surrounding the creation and administration of lifesaving covid-19 vaccines than was ever expected. Whether a continuation of administrative disdain for the vaccine or push back based on actual health consequences, an age of precaution and hesitancy has been ushered in surrounding vaccine utilization. To better observe this concept, one must first understand the root of vaccine hesitancy, one avenue of which stems from the use of stem cells in the production and manufacturing of vaccines. Once familiar with the concept of stem cell use and vaccine production a closer look must be taken into specifically the use of stem cells in the current production of the covid-19 vaccine, given the huge backlash it has received in the public and media. From here, a broader explanation of anti-vaccination narratives was analyzed, concentrating on the three main defenses for these stances. Following this analysis, a comparative of the three common vaccines available on the market, Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson, including their performance in human trials and efficacy studies is discussed. This article focuses on identifying the foundation of vaccine science while offering a descriptive explanation of Covid-19 vaccination research completed.

This study was conducted to identify the sleep behavior of student athletes. The study involved 116 student athletes in Perak State Sports School as a sample study to identify sleep behavior by making comparisons based on gender, training frequency, level of involvement and age. The researcher used the Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ) which consists of 18 items and is divided into 3 subscales namely routine factors (6 items), behavioral factors (7 items) and sports -related factors (5 items). Inferential analysis t test and One -way ANOVA were used for the purpose of data analysis. The findings of the study showed that there was no significant difference in sleep behavior between male and female student athletes of the Perak State Sports School. In addition, the findings also showed that there were no significant differences in sleep behavior based on the highest level of involvement, training frequency and age among student athletes. In summary, good sleep behavior in sports students is due to an optimal sleep time of at least 7 hours a day.

When it comes to education, conventional and modern ways of learning are applied at all times. This, however, applies to students with special needs in order to meet their individual learning objectives. Based on the needs of students and the resources available in each region, conventional and new learning methods are used. Conventional and modern learning techniques will produce learning methods that are tactical, technical, and practical in the form of expository methods, demonstrations, panel discussion and debate, role-playing, and simulation techniques. A modern and traditional learning method's efficacy, efficiency, and quality can be measured by these three factors.
