Published: March 2022

Support system patterns of nurses were reviewed to identify patterns that will have a vast or less impact on the nursing services. It is sought to determine the different factors affecting the healthcare professionals' way of achieving the optimum healthcare delivery system, particularly with nurses working in a COVID-19 department towards patients and healthcare professionals. This study used the Walker & Avant (2019) concept analysis and integrative review method. Results revealed that nurses in COVID-19 facilities or other settings face different challenges. Depending on their way of managing these tasks, whether they will get stressed depends on their perspectives and goals entering the nursing field. Based on the overall analysis, a robust support system will promote positive work. Management of this support will help our nurses to regain self-esteem, boost their camaraderie with all other medical frontliners, and establish proper rapport with their patients, whether COVID-19 or non-COVID-19 related. Through appropriate support that can make a huge difference in society, a part of a healthy community is supported by nurses who are doing their jobs exceptionally and manifest in improving the healthcare delivery system.

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome: Catch Me If You Can; A Case Report
Authors: Ali Maryam Adam , Ali Noora Adam , Sarfaraz Khurram
Published: March 2022

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is a relatively rare adverse reaction to neuroleptic medications. It is characterized by a constellation of findings that usually occur concurrently. These include vital instability, fever, elevated creatinine kinase, encephalopathy, and muscle rigidity. Having a high index of suspicion can reduce mortality and long-term complications by having a broad differential diagnosis when facing a patient with these symptoms, particularly if they are on antipsychotic medications. Withdrawal of the offending medication and supportive therapy are the most important initial steps in patient management.
In this case report, we discuss the case of a 95-year-old male on quetiapine and memantine with a 2-day history of fever, rigidity, cough, and reduced activity after increasing the dose of quetiapine three days prior to his presentation.

Key words: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome, Antipsychotics, Neuroleptics, Muscle rigidity Creatinine Kinase.

Authors: J. Temuhale , D.U. Odom
Published: March 2022

The huge infrastructure deficit in Nigeria underscores the need for capital mobilization required to finance activities and ensure sustainable growth and development. This study examined the effect of public debt on the economic development of Nigeria covering the period 1990-2019. Domestic public debt, External public debt, Total public debt, and public debt servicing represented independent variables. Per capita income was the dependent variable. Ex post facto research design was adopted for the study. Data was sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and Globaleconomy.com. The study used Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test to test for the stationarity of the variables while the Johansen cointegration test was used to establish that a long-run relationship exists among the variables. Ordinary Least squares (OLS) and Error Correction Model (ECM)) were the tools used for analysis. Results showed that domestic debt and external debts each has a negative and statistically significant effect on per capita income while total public debt and public debt servicing showed a positive and statistically significant effect on per capita income respectively. Based on the findings, the study concluded that neither external debt nor domestic debt has been able to singly spur economic development while total public debt which is the combination of domestic and external public debt positively drive economic growth, thereby, improving the per capita income of the citizens in Nigeria.

Published: March 2022

This study examines the dynamic relationship between budget deficit (BD) and inflation rate (INF) in Nigeria using secondary data extracted from the CBN statistical bulletin. Control variables included are real gross domestic product (RGDP), real interest rate (INTR), exchange rate (EXCHR) and private investment (INV). After obtaining a mixture of I(0) and I(1) variables from the unit root test, the study conducted a co-integration test using the ARDL approach. The results indicate that only RGDP and INTR have significant relationship with INF in the long-run. Budget deficit has no significant influence on inflation both in the long-run and in the short-run. This study concludes that budget deficit cannot be criticized based on its ability to induce inflation and recommends that inflation impact should be given low wait in evaluating budget deficit decisions.

A Review on Emerging Oral Dosage Forms which helps to bypass the Hepatic First Pass Metabolism
Authors: Mahanur Vishal , Rajge Rahul , Tawar Mukund
Published: March 2022

The initial pass metabolism or pre-circulatory system is a metabolic process in which the concentration of the drug is significantly reduced or shortened in the liver before it reaches the circulatory system. A fraction of the drug lost in the entire absorption process is often associated with the liver and skin wall. Oral delivery, the simplest form of drug management has its limitations, most of which are the low availability of drugs due to the first internal organ passing through metabolism. Drugs with low bioavailability need to be administered at a better dose as a small fraction of the controlled dose is injected into the bloodstream and reaches the target. Therefore, the worst dose of the drug is destroyed and the unauthorized drug ends up having unwanted side effects within the canal. Various forms of oral contraceptives are used. The current review focuses on the importance of passing the first hepatic pass, the biological findings, the reasons for the negative findings and the various methods used to skip the initial hepatic pass metabolism.

Chironomidae Family (Diptera: Chironomidae) in biogeochemical processes in lake sediments
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: March 2022

Chironomidae ids are not known to be dangerous to humans, in particular because they do not bite and do not seek contact with our food like some flies. At the time of metamorphosis, the adult leaves its envelope on the surface of the water, without contact with it and usually without direct contact with polluted sediments. It does not transmit germs or parasites through the bite, but it may be a local vector of certain microbes or viruses to animals that eat it, or to humans via fomites, which has yet to be demonstrated. Purpose of this paper is to verify the impact of Chironomidae larvae on the decomposition of organic matter and on the exchange of nutrients. With emphasis on conceptual and taxonomic aspects was carried out in the years 1930 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events, Doctoral Thesis and Master's Dissertation were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Scielo Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science.

Published: March 2022

After Mirziyoyev came to power in December 2016, impressive developments have taken place in Uzbekistan’s relations with the Central Asian republics, regional and external powers, and international institutions. These developments have led some to concur that Uzbekistan is going through remarkable or milestone/drastic changes in its foreign policy. The objective of this paper is to analyze Uzbekistan’s foreign policy under Mirziyoyev, in comparison with that of his predecessor, and to reveal whether there have been changes or continuities in Uzbekistan’s foreign policy under his administration. The study puts forth that Uzbekistan under Mirziyoyev has continued to maintain its military neutrality and prioritize Central Asia in its foreign policy. This demonstrates that Karimov’s core foreign policy strategy has been maintained under Mirziyoyev. The only difference has been his country’s constructive foreign policy approach to its relations with the regional and external actors.

Aim: Though standard laparoscopy has increasingly gained acceptance as the surgical therapy for ovarian cancer, decreasing laparoscopy sequence number remains a significant issue for bigger ovarian tumors. Thus, the goal of this review is to contrast the clinical results of solitary laparoscopy for eliminating large ovarian cysts (16 cm) to those of laparotomy and 3-port laparoscopy. Methods: Our current research included 96 individuals with large ovarian cysts (>16 cm) which had single-port, 3-port, or else laparotomy. Patients’ health records, perioperative surgical results, postoperatively score, and complications were all evaluated and discussed retrospectively. Our current research was conducted at Services Hospital Lahore from May 2020 to April 2021. Results: 1-port laparoscopy produced improved perioperative results and less postoperative discomfort compared to 3-port laparoscopy and laparotomy. The duration during process and waking up in the morning was significantly shorter in 1-port laparoscopy than in laparotomy and three-port laparoscopy (18.548.17 vs 28.428.58 vs 23.558.77, P0.02). The hospital admission was substantially lower in single-port laparoscopy set than in extra two sets (5.070.6 vs 6.472.64 vs 5.820.84, P0.002). Furthermore, single-port laparoscopy resulted in lower postoperative discomfort notches than laparotomy and 3-port laparoscopy. Conclusion: Single-port laparoscopy is indeed very secure and effective method for large ovarian cysts, only with benefits of the shorter surgery duration, less anticipated blood loss, a shorter hospital stays, a reduced spillage rate, and lesser postoperative discomfort. Keywords: Clinical Results, Solitary Laparoscopy, Ovarian Cysts, Laparotomy, Three-Port Laparoscopy.

Authors: Machado dos Santos Adelcio , Klauberg Ricardo
Published: March 2022

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar as diretrizes da Política Pública de Saúde Bucal para a fluoretação da água no sistema de abastecimento público do Brasil. A pesquisa realizada é qualitativa, de revisão bibliográfica sistemática, dedutiva. A política de fluoretação das águas é assegurada pela Lei Federal n° 6.050/1974. Decretos, resoluções e portarias estabelecem: compostos químicos de fluoretos, valores, fiscalização das estações de tratamento de água e responsabiliza a união, os estados e os municípios do exercício do controle e da vigilância da qualidade da água de abastecimento público. A descontinuidade da política de fluoretação das águas públicas foi proposta com a tramitação do Projeto de Lei (PL) 510/2003, buscando reduzir gastos públicos e impedir a fluorose. Concluímos que a mudança nos hábitos regulares de escovação, resultante de uma melhor condição sócio/econômico/cultural, e o acesso aos serviços de saúde bucal, podem ocasionar uma mudança no perfil epidemiológico da cárie.

Published: March 2022

The province of wireless sensor network (WSN) is increasing continuously because of wide-ranging applications, namely, monitoring environmental conditions, military, and many other fields. But trust management in the WSN is the main objective as trust was utilized once cooperation among nodes becomes crucial to attaining reliable transmission. Thus, a new trust-based routing protocol is introduced to initiate secure routing. This study focuses on the design of Trust Aware Aquila Optimizer based Secure Data Transmission for Information Management (TAAO-SDTIM) in WSN. The presented TAAO-SDTIM model mainly intends to achieve maximum security and information management in WSN. The presented TAAO-SDTIM model determines optimum set of routes to base station (BS) utilizing a fitness function involving three parameters like residual energy (RE), distance to BS (DBS), and trust level (TL). The incorporation of the trust level of the nodes in the route selection process aids in appropriately selecting highly secure nodes in the data transmission procedure. For ensuring the enhanced performance of the TAAO-SDTIM model, a wide range of experiments are executed and the results pointed out the improved outcomes of the TAAO-SDTIM model over the other recent approaches.
