Published: August 2021

Aedes vexans is known to occur in large populations in riverine floodplains in much of Europe, where it can cause a significant biting nuisance and is often subject to large scale control strategies. Until recently it had only been reported in very small numbers in the United Kingdom. After receiving reports of nuisance biting near the river Idle, Nottinghamshire (East Midlands, England), mosquito surveillance was conducted over three years (2018-2020) using Mosquito Magnet adult traps. Ae. vexans was found in all years, in very high numbers, particularly in 2020, reaching a peak of almost 5,000 female mosquitoes per trap night, the highest reported density of trapped adult mosquitoes in the UK. Larval control was conducted in all years, and adult control in one year, however local peculiarities of flood and water management presents challenges and necessitates a multi-faceted approach. Strategies for further expansion of the control operation by developing strategies for water management, coupled with larval surveys to define the extent and seasonality of larval habitats, and application methods of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis products are discussed.
‘The magazine that isn’t’: The future of features online
Authors: Giles Fiona
Published: August 2021

This essay considers how feature writing, with its attractive layout and graphics, and its

attention to the stylistic and narrative pleasures of the text, has made the transition from

print magazines to online magazine websites, thriving in both written and multimedia

forms. Adopting Steensen’s definition of features as a ’a family of genres that address a

similar exigence but differ in rhetorical form’ (2010: 133), I consider the

transformations and resilience of features online, together with the different sites that

have developed for their publication, including print news and magazine websites,

specific online magazines exclusively commissioning features, feature aggregator sites,

and the more recently produced feature disaggregator sites. Looking at some examples

of features online, the essay considers whether the accessibility and adaptability of the

form may enhance its status as both journalism and writing. The article ends by asking

if the integration of the core, factual narrative text, with documentary audio, video,

slide shows and linking material, might constitute a kind of ‘aesthetic journalism’

(Cramerotti 2009).

Objective: This study was planned to evaluate the relationship between Physiotherapists’ fear of COVID-19 and quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Physiotherapists aged between 18-65 years, working in any institution (private or public), were included in the study. The questionnaires were combined into a form on Google forms and sent to the participants via e-mail and they were asked to fill out the questionnaires. After first filling out their demographic information, they completed the COVID-19 Fear Scale to assess their COVID-19 fear level. The Nottingham Health Profile was used to assess health-related quality of life. Results: It was observed that the mean total score of the cases from the COVID-19 Fear Scale was 17.19±5.38, while the average total score of the Nottingham Health Profile was 80.14±82.57, obtained from 416 physiotherapists. In our study, the fear of COVID-19 was lower in physiotherapists who had the disease. While there was a significant relationship between fear of COVID-19 and Nottingham Health Profile energy level, emotional reaction, social isolation and sleep sub-dimensions and total score, no significant relationship was found in other sub-dimensions. Conclusions: As a result of our study, it was determined that Physiotherapists’ fear of COVID-19 was moderate level, and it was observed that their fear was related to quality of life.

Published: August 2021

Objective: Hip fractures due to domestic low-energy traumas are common problems that can cause significant morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. Since the Covid-19 outbreak, although the lock-down of older people could decrease contagion,the incidence of domestic traumas did not decrease, and led to development of various comorbidities. In this study, we aimed to compare the epidemiology of hip fractures in 6 months of the pandemic in 2020, with the equivalent 6-month period in the previous year to determine the relationship between lock-down and hip fractures due to domestic falls. Method: In this retrospective study, patients over 65 years old who were hospitalized due to hip fractures between May 1st, 2020 - November 30th, 2020 were compared with the similar cohort hospitalized between May 1st, 2019 - November 30th, 2019. The patients were compared in terms of demographic characteristics, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores, type of anesthesia, time until surgery, comorbidities, surgical treatment modality, need for postoperative primary care unit, postoperative complications, and mortality. Results: Overall, 210 patients were included in our study. There was no significant difference between the groups regarding demographic characteristics and ASA scores. In the 2020 group, there were eight patients (8.6%) who were Covid-19 PCR- positive. There was no death proven by PCR that was related to COVID-19 disease. Time to surgery, fracture type, anesthesia type did not differ between the two groups. The need for a postoperative primary care unit was higher in the 2020 group. Ninety-day mortality rates were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: In conclusion, despite higher mortality rates described in the literature, there was no Covid -19 associated mortality in our study. Hip fractures in the elderly did not alter with social mobilization; hence they usually occur due to domestic low- energy traumas. Reporting of the information in this patient group by all centers will provide important data in the management of hip fractures in this special process.

Published: August 2021

Objective: At the time of diagnosis, gastric cancers are generally at an advanced stage and the survival rates are very low. The aim of this study is to determine the prognostic values of PD-L1 expression in gastric carcinomas and to detect the presence of FOXP3- positive Treg cells in tumor microenviroment. Method: In this study, PD-L1 and FOXP3 expressions were evaluated in 125 patients with gastric carcinoma who had undergone gastrectomy between 2011, and 2015. Results: The mean age of the patients was 64.18±12.3 years and the patients were followed up for a mean period of 29.6±26.4 months. In only 2 (1.6%) cases there were weak membranous expressions of PD-L1 in tumor cells. PD-L1- positive inflammatory cells were also seen in tumors of 2 (1.6%) cases. There was no significant relationship between PD-L1 expression and survival times (p= 0.690). In 57(45.6%) cases, FOXP3- positive lymphocytes were detected. The number of FOXP3-positive cells ranged between 1 and 55/HPF. There was no statistically significant correlation between the survival times and presence of Tregs (p=0.793). Twenty-two cases (17.6%) were evaluated as HER2-positive. There was a statistical relationship between HER2-positivity and perineural invasion (p=0.006). Statistical significance between survival and some prognostic factors such as nodal metastasis (p=0.004), pT stage (p<0.01) and presence of perineural invasion (p=0.010) was determined. Conclusion: This study has demonstrated that the PD-L1 positivity was not effective on gastric tumorigenesis. We have found a positive correlation between the presence of Treg inflammatory cells and PD-L1 expression. But this relationship could not be proved by statistical analyses. However since PD-L1 expression was detected in only 4 cases, these findings should be confirmed in larger series.

Published: August 2021

Objective: A simple, sensitive, selective, precise repeatable and stability-indicating high-performance thin layer chromatographic method was developed and validated for Eszopiclone in bulk drug and in formulation. Method: Silica gel 60 F-254, TLC precoated aluminium plates was used as the stationary phase for analyzing Eszopiclone and its degradation products, using mobile phase consisting toluene: ethyl acetate: methanol (6: 4: 2 v/v/v). Result: This mobile phase gave compact spots for Eszopiclone with Rf value of 0.52 ± 0.02. Eszopiclone was exposed to hydrolysis, oxidation, neutral and photolytic conditions for conducting stress degradation study. The peak of Eszopiclone and the degradation product was well resolved from each other with a significantly different Rf value. Densitometric estimation of Eszopiclone was performed at 304nm. A good linear plot was obtained in the concentration range of 150-300ng/spot. The method was validated for precision, accuracy (recovery) and robustness study. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) was found to be 130ng/spot and 150ng/spot, respectively. Conclusion: The developed HPTLC method can separate Eszopiclone from its degradation products, hence stability studies can be performed using this method.

Authors: Gidde Nikita D. , Nitalikar Manojkumar M. , Raut Indrayani D.
Published: August 2021

The atomic and molecular level analysis of controlling matter in nanotechnology deals with structures and components with a size ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in at least one dimension, and includes the development or modification of materials or devices within that size range. The development of new materials with one dimension at the nanoscale is one of the fundamental aspects of nanotechnology. These materials, referred to as nanomaterials, are nanoscale engineered and have radically different properties than their "bulk" equivalents. The concept of nanocomposites has greatly extended to include a wide range of systems, including one-dimensional, two-dimensional, three-dimensional and amorphous materials, composed of distinctly different components and mixed at the scale of the nanometer.

Authors: Dittman Solveig , Larsen Linda , Holt Tonje
Published: August 2021

Background: In 2016, the Norwegian family counselling service implemented differentiated mediation to give cumstomized help. The differentiation tool (i.e., questionnaire) has never been evaluated.

Method: Using a sample of 761 parents, we compared parent responses given over the phone to the family counselling service and anonymously to an electronic version of the questionnaire.

Results: One-third of the parents underreported their challenges to the family counselling service, and only 15 % of parents who, in the electronic questionnaire reported substanse abuse or violence in the relationship, revealed this to the service. Underreporters had higher interparental conflict and more symptoms of anxiety and depression. Parents who underreported problems with substanse abuse and violence had more physically violent conflicts.

Conclusions: There is a need to improve the validity of the differentiation tool. We suggest that parents need information and a safe environment when completing the questionnaire. Electronic administration of the questionnaire may serve this purpose.

Authors: Coronado-Sarmiento Juan , Tuta-Quintero Eduardo , Lozano Alejandra , Guerron Gabriela , Rojas-Pardo Diego
Published: August 2021

Introducción: La infección por SARS-COV-2 representa una grave emergencia de salud pública a nivel mundial; los adultos mayores comórbidos tienen una mayor riesgo de infección severa y mortalidad. Las enfermedades metabólicas y cardiovasculares se benefician de los tratamientos hipolipemiantes con estatinas, debido a sus efectos anti-inflamatorios, antioxidantes e incluso antivirales. Objetivo: Explorar la evidencia médica acerca de la eficacia y seguridad de las estatinas en el tratamiento de pacientes con COVID-19. Materiales y métodos: Revisión sistemática exploratoria en PubMed y Scopus, incluyendo publicaciones con datos empíricos (estudios observacionales y experimentales) en inglés y español. Además, se buscaron ensayos clínicos registrados en 17 registros primarios de la Red de Registros de la organización mundial de la salud. Resultados: Se incluyeron documentos (n=12) y registros de ensayos clínicos (n=10). Estudios de cohorte retrospectivos (n= 11) e in silico (n= 1). El país de origen de los autores en su mayoría fue Estados Unidos (n= 6). El 60% de los registros de ensayos clínicos se encuentran reclutando, la suma total de los participantes en los registros es de 14,204 pacientes. Conclusión: La evidencia presentada en esta revisión exploratoria sugiere que las estatinas, dados sus efectos pleiotrópicos, podrían tener un beneficio en el manejo de la COVID-19. Sin embargo, no es suficiente para generar una recomendación como parte del manejo estandarizado, requiriendo conocer los resultados de los ensayos clínicos aleatorizados en marcha.

Debido a la pandemia se ha reportado un aumento de los problemas de salud mental en miembros del personal de salud, siendo el autorreporte una forma inicial de evaluarlo. El objetivo fue el determinar los factores asociados a la percepción de repercusiones en la esfera mental en profesionales de la salud de Latinoamérica ante el COVID-19. Se ejecutó un estudio transversal analítico, entre junio y agosto del 2020 en Latinoamérica. Se midió la percepción de repercusiones a través de un instrumento previamente validado en Perú, que fue tomado de forma virtual a 406 médicos, enfermeras y otros; esto fue cruzado versus otras variables. La principal preocupación fue el regresar a casa y contagiar a su familia (22% muy de acuerdo), seguido por el sentir el maltrato porque no le dan la cantidad necesaria de equipos de protección personal (13% muy de acuerdo) y percibir agotamiento mental por todas las actividades que realizaba (12% muy de acuerdo). En el análisis multivariado, a mayor edad hubo una menor percepción de repercusión mental (RPa: 0,98; IC95%: 0,97-0,99; valor p=0,012); además, los que tuvieron una mayor percepción de repercusiones en la esfera mental también tuvieron más ansiedad en nivel bajo (RPa: 1,84; IC95%: 1,14-2,98; valor p=0,013) y estrés post traumático (RPa: 2,28; IC95%: 1,61-3,22; valor p<0,001), ajustado por la depresión y el estrés. A pesar de ser un análisis exploratorio, se encontró importantes asociaciones en la esfera mental; lo que debería seguir investigándose en estudios más extensos.

With the ongoing public health crisis with prescription opioids, there is a need for safer alternatives for medication management in chronic pain patients. Buprenorphine is a partial mu-opioid agonist which is commonly utilized to treat patients with opioid-use disorders. The purpose of this review is to discuss the potential use of this medication for the treatment of chronic pain instead of resorting to more traditional Schedule II opioids. Buprenorphine offers a safer alternative for patients who require opioids to manage chronic pain, given the unique pharmacological properties that allow it to provide adequate analgesia with less abuse potential.

Kva er eigentleg målet i matematikken?
Authors: Schaathun Hans Georg , Moe Jan Gunnar
Published: August 2021

Denne artikkelen tek for seg iterativ evaluering, revisjon og design over to år, for eit emne i grunnleggjande matematikk. Me har lagt vekt på tett dialog med studentane, mellom anna gjennom improvisert quiz i førelesingane. I denne tette kontakten vart me overraska av to observasjonar. For det fyrste var hovudutfordringa for studentane ikkje dei grunnleggjande rekneferdigheitene som me trudde på førehand. For det andre vert vesentlege læringsmål i emneskildringa neglisjerte både av læreboka og på eksamen, og studentane har òg lært seg til å neglisjera dei.
Den andre observasjonen gjer at me stiller spørsmålet om kva som eigentleg er målet. Studentar som skal bruka matematikken i andre disiplinar treng kommunikasjons-, modellerings- og tankesettskompetanse, som ikkje tidlegare har vore vurderte ved eksamen. Skal matematikken vera nyttig, må desse måla løftast fram som naudsynte. Dei grunnleggjande ferdigheitsmåla som tradisjonelt vert prøvde på eksamen er aldri tilstrekkelege, og det er uklart i kva grad dei kan vera naudsynte.

Evaluating medical student and teacher attitudes of virtually delivered near peer medical teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Panozzo Brydon , Dixson Georgina , St Flour Phillip , Ryall Mary-Ann , Dawson Amanda
Published: August 2021

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of video conferences for the delivery of near-peer medical teaching adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of medical students and near-peer teachers.

Methods: A mixed-methods online survey of medical students (years 3 – 5 of a five-year medical program) and near-peer teachers (junior medical officers post-graduate years 1-3) participating in a video conference based near-peer medical teaching (NPMT) program was undertaken throughout the 2020 clinical year. A further comparative survey was conducted with those students and near-peer teachers who had previously participated in face-to-face near-peer teaching sessions. The results of these surveys were analysed using descriptive statistics and inductive thematic analysis.

Results: Students and near-peer teachers found the video conference software to be user friendly (93.3%, n = 14 and 77.8%, n=7) and expressed interest in ongoing video conference delivered material (93.4%, n= 14 and 88.9% n = 8). Students were divided as to whether the video conference method of delivery limited (40%, n= 7) or did not limit (26.7%, n = 4) their interactions, while teachers noted that video conferencing did not enhance engagement (66.7%, n= 6). These findings were supported by the qualitative analysis. Key themes identified included positive reception of the teachers, content, and improved attendance/ease associated with video conferencing. Difficulties with the foreign nature of the teaching style and student engagement were also reflected in the qualitative data.

Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the manner in which medical student education is approached. The experience presented here from medical students and near-peer teachers demonstrates a general acceptance of video conferencing as a method of content delivery in the near-peer setting, necessitated by restrictions on face-to-face interactions secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. Divisions remain as to whether the technology, as it is currently implemented, can maintain or surpass the interaction and engagement which accompanies face-to-face near-peer medical education.

Published: August 2021

Background: Assessment of the patient safety competency is necessary for the growth of nursing and safe care profession as well as evaluation of the nurses' educational needs. To this end, valid and reliable tools are required. Aim:The present study was conducted to determine psychometric properties of the Persian version of the patient safety competency self-evaluation (PSCSE) tool in Iranian psychiatric wards. Methods: All nurses (n = 209) working in two psychiatric hospitals of Kerman, Iran were included in the present cross-sectional study using census method. Followed by administering the Persian version of PSCSE to the participants, its internal consistency and reliability were assessed by test-retest method with an interval of 14 days. Other psychometric properties such as content, construct, and convergent validity of the tool were also examined. Results:The content validity index was 0.65 and the content validity ratio was 0.89. Item 14 was removed from the skill domain because it was not related to the psychiatric ward. According to the results of factor analysis, 40 items and three domains of knowledge (6 items), attitude (14 items), and skills (20 items) were confirmed with acceptable values. In terms of its convergent validity, PSCSE had a moderate correlation (r = 0.57) with the Assessment of the Safe Nursing Care (ASNC) scale. The correlation coefficient for test-retest was ICC = 0.92 for the whole instrument and 0.89, 0.89, and 0.92 for the domains of knowledge, attitude, and skill, respectively. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of the whole tool was 0.95 and 0.95, 0.79, and 0. 95 for the domains of knowledge, attitude, and skill, respectievly. Conclusion: Persian version of the nurses' competency tool in ensuring patient safety in psychiatric wards has acceptable psychometric characteristics.

A koronavírus nagy kihívás elé állított mindenkit, aki önkéntesek szervezésével vagy közösségépítéssel foglalkozik. Egy ideig úgy éreztük, mintha elvesztettük volna az összes addig jól bevált eszközünket arra, hogy kapcsolatokat építsünk az emberek között. Szerencsére ez valójában nem volt így, és még a kötelező távolságtartás időszakában is számos lehetőség volt arra, hogy közösen dolgozzunk számunkra fontos ügyekért és közben az emberek közötti kapcsolatépítést is segítsük. Alább azokat a tapasztalatainkat foglaljuk össze, amiket a Józsefvárosi Önkormányzat Közösségi Részvételi Irodája munkatársai és önkéntesei szereztek a koronavírus-járvány idején a helyi lakóknak szervezett önkéntes segítségnyújtás kapcsán. A cikkben kitérünk az önkéntesek toborzásának, bevonásának, támogatásának és a munkájuk szervezésének gyakorlati részleteire, amely reményeink szerint hasznos lesz majd a pandémián túli életünkben, mind az önkormányzatok, mind pedig a civil szervezetek és az informális közösségek számára is.
