Juggling grandchild care and labor force participation: the effect on psychological wellbeing of older women
Authors: Arpino Bruno , Bellani Daniela
Published: November 2021

Although it is well-known that care responsibilities are strongly gendered also in later life, the consequences for older women of juggling work and care responsibilities are understudied. This study contributes to fill this gap by focusing on the wellbeing implications for older European women of combining work and grandchild care. The role strain and role enhancement theories guide our theoretical predictions. While the former predicts a lower wellbeing due to the double burden of grandchild care and paid work, the latter posits an increase in wellbeing throughout the accumulation of social identities or roles. By using longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), we investigate whether grandmothers who do and those who do not work experience different levels of quality of life, depressive symptoms and life satisfaction. Our statistical model consists in a fixed-effect model that adjusts for the lagged outcome. Results show that, among grandmothers engaged in paid work, grandchild care is not significantly associated with any of the three outcomes considered. Instead, non-working grandmothers seem to benefit from provision of grandchild care, in terms of higher quality of life and lower number of depressive symptoms. As thus, the provision of grandchild care tends to be more beneficial for grandmothers’ well-being if they do not combine this activity with paid work. Juggling paid work and childcare to grandchildren may result in an excessive burden which eliminates the potential benefits of grandchild care on wellbeing of older women.

Published: November 2021

Like many other developing nations, Pakistan is also facing a gender gap in its socio-cultural spheres. Since independence, many programs and policies have been made in public and private sector domains to eradicate these gender disparities. This paper aims to evaluate these programs and policies by encountering their salient features and how far these programs and policies proved to be fruitful in bridging this gap. The evaluation is done majorly through a desk review of the secondary data drawn from reports published by different government and local organizations. Mainly, the qualitative methods of content and thematic analyses were employed for exploring the gender-based disparities, and how these are affecting the pace of development in Pakistan. Moreover, an assessment of strategies and policies addressing the problem of the gender gap has also been done. Based on the study findings, this paper presents some policy recommendations to reduce gender base disparities which is one of the many prerequisites for the promotion of sustainable development agenda as gender equality is the 5th goal of the United Nations sustainable development agenda.
Effects of an external ventricular drain alert protocol on venticulostomy placement time in the emergency department
Authors: Chang Henry , Silva Michael A. , Giner Alexander , Ancheta Selina , Romano José G. , Komotar Ricardo , Cajigas Iahn
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE

Timely ventriculostomy placement is critical in the management of neurosurgical emergencies. Prompt external ventricular drain (EVD) placement has been shown to improve long-term patient outcomes and decrease the length of ICU and hospital stays. Successful and efficient EVD placement requires seamless coordination among multiple healthcare teams. In this study, the authors sought to identify factors favoring delayed ventriculostomy via a quality improvement initiative and to implement changes to expedite EVD placement.

METHODS

Through process mapping, root cause analysis, and interviews with staff, the authors identified the lack of a standardized mechanism for alerting necessary healthcare teams as a major contributor to delays in EVD placement. In December 2019, an EVD alert system was developed to automatically initiate an EVD placement protocol and to alert the neurosurgery department, pharmacy, core laboratory, and nursing staff to prepare for EVD placement. The time to EVD placement was tracked prospectively using time stamps in the electronic medical record.

RESULTS

A total of 20 patients who underwent EVD placement between December 2019 and April 2021, during the EVD alert protocol initiation, and 18 preprotocol control patients (January 2018 to December 2019) met study inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The mean time to EVD placement in the control group was 71.88 minutes compared with 50.3 minutes in the EVD alert group (two-tailed t-test, p = 0.025). The median time to EVD placement was 64 minutes in the control group compared with 52 minutes in the EVD alert group (rank-sum test, p = 0.0184). All patients from each cohort exhibited behavior typical of stable processes, with no violation of Shewhart rules and no special cause variations on statistical process control charts.

CONCLUSIONS

A quality improvement framework helped identify sources of delays to EVD placement in the emergency department. An automated EVD alert system was a simple intervention that significantly reduced the time to EVD placement in the emergency department and can be easily implemented at other institutions to improve patient care.

Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE

Accurate clinical documentation is foundational to any quality improvement endeavor as it is ultimately the medical record that is measured in assessing change. Literature on high-yield interventions to improve the accuracy and completeness of clinical documentation by neurosurgical providers is limited. Therefore, the authors sought to share a single-institution experience of a two-part intervention to enhance clinical documentation by a neurosurgery inpatient service.

METHODS

At an urban, level I trauma, academic teaching hospital, a two-part intervention was implemented to enhance the accuracy of clinical documentation of neurosurgery inpatients by residents and advanced practice providers (APPs). Residents and APPs were instructed on the most common neurosurgical complications or comorbidities (CCs) and major complications or comorbidities (MCCs), as defined by Medicare. Additionally, a “system-based” progress note template was changed to a “problem-based” progress note template. Prepost analysis was performed to compare the CC/MCC capture rates for the 12 months prior to the intervention with those for the 3 months after the intervention.

RESULTS

The CC/MCC capture rate for the neurosurgery service line rose from 62% in the 12 months preintervention to 74% in the 3 months after intervention, representing a significant change (p = 0.00002).

CONCLUSIONS

Existing clinical documentation habits by neurosurgical residents and APPs may fail to capture the extent of neurosurgical inpatients with CC/MCCs. An intervention that focuses on the most common CC/MCCs and utilizes a problem-based progress note template may lead to more accurate appraisals of neurosurgical patient acuity.
Intradural lumbar disc herniation: illustrative case
Authors: Ihejirika Rivka Chinyere , Tong Yixuan , Patel Karan , Protopsaltis Themistocles
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Accounting for less than 0.4% of disc herniations, intradural lumbar disc herniations (ILDHs) are a rare occurrence primarily described as a complication after lumbar spine surgery. It is speculated that the herniation may propagate intradurally from either an unrecognized dural defect after initial surgery or as a result of adhesions between the dura and posterior longitudinal ligament. This report explores the etiology, presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment of ILDH along with a case report and microsurgery video.

OBSERVATIONS

A 67-year-old patient who 1 year earlier had undergone an L2–5 laminectomy and L2–3 decompression with no known complications presented with low back pain and radiating right leg, buttock, and groin pain for 1 month. Physical examination indicated no numbness or weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a large ILDH. A transforaminal interbody fusion was performed followed by a durotomy, ILDH removal, and dural closure. A ventral dural defect was found and repaired during the procedure.

LESSONS

The treatment for ILDH is laminectomy with dorsal durotomy. Because ILDH has rarely been described in literature, understanding its presentation is crucial for prompt identification and management.

Authors: Ku Johnson , Chen Chieh-Yi , Ku Jason , Chang Hsuan-Kan , Wu Jau-Ching , Yen Yu-Shu
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Nasal swab tests are one of the most essential tools for screening coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The authors report a rare case of iatrogenic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak from the anterior skull base after repeated nasal swab tests for COVID-19, which was treated with endoscopic endonasal repair.

OBSERVATIONS

A 41-year-old man presented with clear continuous rhinorrhea through his left nostril for 5 days after repeated nasal swabbing for COVID-19. There were no obvious risk factors for spontaneous CSF leak. Computed tomography cisternography showed contrast accumulation in the left olfactory fossa and along the left nasal cavity. Such findings aligned with a preliminary diagnosis of CSF leakage through the left cribriform plate. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a CSF fistula between his left cribriform plate and superior nasal concha. The patient underwent endoscopic endonasal repair. CSF rhinorrhea ceased after the surgery, and no recurrence was noted during the 12-week postoperative follow-up period.

LESSONS

Although rare, iatrogenic CSF leakage can be a serious complication following COVID-19 nasal swab tests, especially when infection may cause significant neurological sequelae. Healthcare providers should become familiar with nasal cavity anatomy and be well trained in performing nasal swab tests.

Published: November 2021

Background: The serotonin, copper, and ceruloplasmin markers are altered in various cancers, including breast cancer. It has been reported that these markers have the potential to be used in the study of cancer recurrence. The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of serotonin, copper and ceruloplasmin besides the routine breast cancer markers such as CEA and CA15-3 in the blood sample of patients with invasive ductal breast cancer, before and after chemotherapy. 
Methods: This study was performed on 30 patients with breast cancer. Blood samples were taken from the patients before and after chemotherapy. Necessary data including age, tumor grade and status of Her-2, ER, PR receptors were obtained from patient records. Serotonin, CEA and CA15-3 levels were measured by ELISA method. Ceruloplasmin and copper were measured by nephelometry and colorimetric methods, respectively.
Results: Results showed a decrease in serotonin, ceruloplasmin, copper, CEA and CA15-3 after treatment but only the levels of serotonin and ceruloplasmin showed a steady decrease. No significant relationship was observed between tumor grade and ER-PR, Her-2 receptors. 
Conclusion: This study showed that chemotherapy resulted in steady decline in serotonin and ceruloplasmin levels but this decrease was not steady in levels of CA15-3 and CEA. Therefore, if our results are confirmed by further research, they can be considered as a viable alternative to routine markers in cancer recurrence after chemotherapy.

Climatology of Frequency, Life Period, Energy and Speed for Tropical Disturbances and Cyclones over the Bay of Bengal
Authors: Shuvo Saurav Dey
Published: November 2021

Tropical disturbances and cyclones are regularly formed at the Bay of Bengal basin. There are some common traits in them, albeit each one of them is unique. Discerning climatology for the basic features of any tropical cyclone is useful in numerous ways. This research has attempted to find a climatology for frequency, life period, energy, and speed for the tropical cyclones formed at the Bay of Bengal over a period of 31 years – from 1990 to 2020. The results elicit that there are marked changes in these aforementioned features. The total frequency, accumulated duration, and combined energy have escalated over the years. To be precise, these changes have taken effect more rigorously for the Post-monsoonal tropical cyclones. The overall translational speed has slightly diminished in recent years, except for the translational speed of cyclones formed during Pre-monsoon. These changes will have major ramifications on the lives and livelihoods of people, more so for those living in coastal areas. Hence, necessary actions are required to cut the probable losses and damages.

Authors: Osadcha Kateryna P. , Osadchyi Viacheslav V. , Spirin Oleg M.
Published: November 2021

The emergence of new e-learning technologies requires a rethinking of their implementation in higher education. To fill this gap, this study analyzes the experience of using and creating e-learning tools in Chinese higher education institutions over the past 5 years. The survey found that the most common educational technologies in Chinese higher education are blended learning, collaborative learning, modified classes, micro-learning and adaptive learning, as well as e-learning tools such as mobile technology and mass open online courses. A survey of university faculty and students explored the practicalities of using e-learning tools in Chinese higher education. The results of the analysis of 20 responses from teachers and 16 responses from undergraduate and postgraduate students showed the following: the teachers have the opportunity to organize e-learning at their university, blended learning is mainly implemented in the learning process, teachers are not limited in choosing e-learning tools: video tools, messengers, social networks and e-learning tools such as Articulate 360 and Adapt. It has been proven that video lectures with a higher level of teacher expression were better than those that had a normal level of teacher expression and only audio, in terms of improving the level of students’ emotional and learning satisfaction. Accordingly, the teacher's facial expression plays a key role in teaching students online. A number of tasks have been proposed that will contribute to the development of e-learning in Chinese higher education. The authors emphasize that in order to develop e-learning in Chinese higher education, it is necessary to pay attention to the following tasks: understanding and studying trends in the ICT development in education; targeting e-learning strategies at improving learning interests; constant monitoring and updating of software and hardware of higher educational institutions for introduction of new technologies in higher education; development and distribution of platforms with simple software interfaces for creating distance learning courses; development of information resources.

Authors: Sovhar Oksana M.
Published: November 2021

The article provides an analysis, theoretical justification and results of empirical approbation of using information and communication technologies as a tool to help future officers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces acquire foreign language communicative competence. A broad overview of the ICT employed in language teaching has been provided, as well as the rationale behind integrating ICT into cadets’ language learning process. In order to validate the effectiveness of ICT in military learning environment, a pedagogical experiment has been conducted; its findings have been described. It has proved the efficiency of using ICT in the process of language learning in a military higher education institution, resulting in the increase in cadets’ language proficiency, professional preparedness, and overall academic skills. Implementation of ICT was also instrumental in providing powerful motivation, having an effect on cadets’ attitude towards language learning and promoting their autonomy, creativeness and cognitive skills. Future officers found the ability to interact and maintain real-life contact with native speakers, counterparts or military experts and engagement in international projects through video chats and video calls to be a particularly inspiring and enjoyable experience. Another benefit of integrating ICT is the opportunity to present subject matter in different ways depending on the cadets’ individual learning style. Using visual aids such as pictures, videos, multimedia presentations, infographics, etc. motivated cadets to be engaged in reading, making texts easier for comprehension when illustrated with pictures, graphics, illustrations, audio and video. The technology gave the cadets a greater control over their learning progress and more freedom to collaborate in the classroom.

The article deals with the results of the online survey on the problems and needs of Ukrainian educators toward the use of the digital tools for distance teaching and learning conducted by the Comparative Studies Department for Information and Education Innovations of the Institute of Information technologies and Learning Tools of the National Academy of Educational Science (NAES) of Ukraine in 2021. Ukrainian teachers and schools are in a situation where distance learning has become a necessity. These circumstances are closely related to the introduction of quarantine measures in all countries of the world in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. That is why the digital competencies of teachers and school administrators are on the agenda in the education system. What matters today is how teachers and schools develop digital learning environments, what tools they use, what digital skills they can apply for these purposes. 1463 respondents – teachers, school administrators, methodologists, social pedagogues from all regions of Ukraine – took part in the survey. The questions covered the following topics: problems and needs that arise during the implementation of distance and blended learning during quarantine; determining the attitude and readiness of teachers to the use of online tools and online resources during distance and blended learning in quarantine; comparison of the results of the 2021 survey on the use of online tools and online resources with the results of the first survey in the spring of 2020; determining the level of digital competence of teachers through self-assessment based on the "The Digital Competence Framework for Citizens". The answers of the respondents allowed providing proposals to different stakeholders and pointed to further steps in supporting teachers and educational institutions in the organization of distance and blended learning, which is important in the pandemic period. The purpose of the article was to present the survey results and provide proposals to the interested parties (governmental bodies, educational institutions, local authorities) on the concrete steps in the organization of distance learning in secondary schools.

Candida albicans is a yeast belonging to the normal microbiota of the human body, considered the most pathogenic species of the genus. It is the main microorganism related to candidiasis. Essential oils of Origanum vulgare have phenolic compounds, such as thymol and carvacrol, which have an effective antimycobacterial character at certain concentrations, but little is known about its biological activity in artisanal preparation. Thus, we evaluated the resistance of standard strains of opportunistic yeast C. albicans against in vitro antifungal activity of artisanal extract of O. vulgare. An inoculum of the challenger was subjected to different concentrations of the fungicidal agent in solidified Muller Hinton and broth followed by incubation at 35°C. The oil was prepared in a manner similar to a possible homemade procedure, and was further sterilized to ensure homogeneity of the indicator. The readings were performed in two days every 24 hours so that there were different possible moments of growth. The tests, which occurred in triplicate, showed that, under experimental conditions, the yeast was resistant to the essential oil compounds at all observed concentrations. Morphological variation was observed in both colonies and yeast cells. Based on analyzes, the artisanal essential oil is incorporated as a promising candidate for the development of antimycotics for clinical use, although in vivo tests are required.

Authors: Dias Luana Ferreira Gomes , Martins Wesley
Published: November 2021

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar os impactos vivenciados pelos profissionais de enfermagem diante do luto após a morte de pacientes na unidade de emergência. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, de caráter qualitativo, através de coleta de dados com 17 profissionais de enfermagem que atuam na unidade de emergência de um hospital municipal na cidade de Foz do Iguaçu. Após a transcrição das entrevistas, os resultados foram analisados a partir da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo de Laurence Bardin, (2016). Assim, os dados foram agrupados em três categorias: entendimento do processo de morte, sentimentos diante da morte de pacientes e enfrentamento do processo de luto. Assim, através deste estudo, identificou-se que os profissionais sofrem impactos com a morte de pacientes, ocasionando assim sentimentos de tristeza, choro, e ainda sentimento de impotência para aceitação da perda de um ente querido. Sendo assim, conclui-se que é essencial a inclusão do assunto processo de morte e luto na educação continuada a fim de preparar os profissionais de enfermagem a lidar com o processo de luto após a perda de pacientes, especialmente na unidade de emergência, onde a ocorrência de óbitos é maior.

Published: November 2021

Introdução: Diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM 2) se desenvolve quando a secreção de insulina é inadequada para atender às necessidades crescentes que surgem com a resistência à insulina. Objetivo: Destacar a importância do farmacêutico no acompanhamento de tratamento do paciente com Diabetes Mellitus do tipo 2. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática em bancos de dados on line e impressos, em livros, teses, dissertações e artigos por meio dos descritores combinados entre si ou não: “Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2”, “consulta farmacêutica”, “tratamento farmacêutico de DM tipo 2”, “acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico” e “Diabetes Mellitus type 2”, “pharma consulting”, “pharmacological treatment of DM type 2”, “pharmacotherapeutic pharmacopoeia” realizado em bibliotecas virtuais Medline, Lilacs, Pubmed, Scielo e BVS. Resultados: Foram selecionados 32 artigos para compor a revisão sistemática e a bibliografia aqui utilizadas. Identificou-se que o tratamento e gerenciamento adequados de doenças crônicas (hipertensão, Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2, dislipidemia, etc.) em instituições médicas primárias é a principal causa do aumento nas despesas médicas. No Brasil, de acordo com dados recentes, verifica-se que o número de adultos aumentou rapidamente na qual em tese destaca-se que a Diabetes Mellitus é uma doença crônica com maior probabilidade de ocorrer durante a transição da pobreza para a abundância. Conclusões: Espera-se que o diabetes se torne uma das principais doenças dos adultos no Brasil e continue sendo um problema de saúde pública no mundo por um período considerável no futuro.
