Authors: Kaur Harshdeep , Raj Rajnish , Sharma Namita , Singh Jaskaran , Goyal Ekram
Published: November 2023

Background:

There is a widespread gap among medical professionals about transgender, and it needs to be addressed through proper educational intervention to inculcate positive attitudes toward transgender people.

Aim:

This study aimed to assess the attitude of medical undergraduate students toward transgender and change thereafter by educational intervention.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 169 final-year undergraduate students (aged 22–25 years; 50.3% males; all having heterosexual orientation) were assessed for their attitudes toward transgender people using the Genderism and Transphobia Scale (GTS) and Attitude toward Transgender Individuals Scale (ATTIS). Subsequently, an educational intervention was conducted. The attitude scores were again evaluated immediately and after one month of post-intervention. A paired t-test, independent-samples t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare the data.

Results:

Mean ATTIS and GTS scores before intervention were 67.02 ± 9.20 and 80.84 ± 26.07, respectively. After the educational intervention, these scores were 79.27 ± 7.18 and 63.20 ± 12.11, respectively, thus showing a significant change in both scores. The change in GTS score was significantly higher in males than in females (P < 0.001) and in urban than in rural residents (P = 0.017). No significant association of demographic factors was observed concerning the change in ATTIS scores. On evaluating the recall value, no significant decline in GTS or ATTIS scores was observed following a one month of interval.

Conclusion:

There is a need to positively reinforce these changes brought about by educational intervention in the attitude of undergraduate medical students toward transgender people. Such cognitive gains are achievable in developing a humanistic society.

Authors: George Aishwariya B. , Beniwal Ram P. , Singh Sadhana , Bhatia Triptish , Khushu Subhash , Deshpande Smita N.
Published: November 2023

Background:

The functional outcome of the debilitating mental illness schizophrenia (SZ) has an integral role in cognition. The thyroid hormone has a vital role in the developmental stages and functioning of the human brain.

Aim:

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between thyroid functions, cognition, and functional imaging of the brain in persons with SZ.

Materials and Methods:

Sixty SZ (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5)) persons, aged 18–50 years of both genders, were recruited in this cross-sectional observational study. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Trail Making Tests (TMTs) A and B were administered to all patients. To assess the level of thyroid hormone, a test was conducted. Functional connectivity of the brain was assessed using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Data analysis was performed by descriptive and analytical statistical methods. FSL version 5.9 (FMRIB's) software was used for analyses of fMRI neuroimages.

Results:

There were no significant differences between the two populations on sociodemographic factors. The average value for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the hypothyroid group (n = 12) and the euthyroid group (n = 47) was 8.38 mIU/l and 2.44 mIU/l, respectively. The average time in seconds for TMT-A and TMT-B was 87.27 and 218.27 in the hypothyroid group and 97.07 and 293.27 in the euthyroid group, respectively. Similarly, in the sample matched on age, gender, and age at onset of illness, there were no significant differences in demographic and clinical factors and resting-state network (RSN) between the hypothyroid (N = 10) and euthyroid (N = 10) groups.

Conclusion:

No differences were found in the functional brain network between the hypothyroid and euthyroid groups as the study sample did not include clinically hypothyroid persons with SZ.
Childhood trauma and bipolar affective disorder: Is there a linkage?
Authors: Chauhan Vinay S , Sharma Markanday , Chatterjee Kaushik , Prakash Jyoti , Srivastava Kalpana , Chaudhury Suprakash
Published: November 2023

Bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) is a major psychiatric illness impairing the quality of life. The etiology of BPAD is influenced by different factors possibly related to gene-environment interactions. Approximately 30% to 50% of individuals with BPAD have experienced some traumatic event in childhood. Serious adverse experiences that children may suffer early in life are often described as childhood trauma (CT). It includes physical, emotional, and sexual abuse and physical and emotional neglect. CT is linked with an elevated risk of developing BPAD. Childhood adversities play a role in modulating the early onset of illness, increased number of depressive episodes, increased suicide attempts, and other clinical severity of BPAD. Hospital-based studies comprising heterogeneous populations had researched the specific role of each trauma subtype as a predisposing factor for BPAD. Identifying and addressing CT through early intervention methods may prevent the future development of chronic disorders like BPAD. This review article is an attempt to explore and highlight the existing literature regarding the association of different subtypes of CT with BPAD.

Authors: Bhavana Mongarala , Vydyanath G. , Lakshmi D. Vijaya
Published: November 2023

Background:

Schizophrenia is one of the most prevalent and serious mental disorders, affecting many facets of life. One of schizophrenia's five domains is aggression. The risk factors for aggression in schizophrenia have been the subject of numerous studies, but it is still unclear how the socio-demographic and clinical variables relate to these risk factors. This study's goal was to identify the clinical and socio-demographic risk variables for aggressive behavior in schizophrenia patients.

Aim:

To identify the clinical and socio-demographic risk factors for aggressive behavior in schizophrenia patients.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty patients who matched the inclusion criteria were selected for a cross-sectional study that was carried out in a tertiary care hospital. Socio-demographic details and clinical variables were collected using semi-structured proforma, and the modified overt aggression scale (MOAS) was applied to schizophrenia patients. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 25 version.

Results:

Of the 50 participants, 34 (68%) were aggressive patients, and 16 (32%) were non-aggressive patients. Patients with lower SES (R = -0.374, P = 0.007) and those who were single (R = -0.375, P = 0.007) scored statistically significantly on the bivariate correlation analysis.

Conclusion:

Schizophrenia patients show a significant prevalence of aggressive behavior. Aggression was found to be substantially correlated with patients' lower socio-economic status and single status. To lessen aggressive behavior and its adverse effects, psychiatrists must identify valid clinical and illness predictors for aggression in schizophrenia patients.
Mental health concerns of interns posted in COVID-19-affected regions of Maharashtra
Authors: Kelkar Parisha , Vankar Ganpat , Chaudhury Suprakash , Kelkar Apurva , Patil Jaideep
Published: November 2023

Background:

Healthcare providers faced the challenge of managing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-infected patients. At the onset of the spread of the coronavirus infection across the globe, awareness of the treatment modalities was poor. Interns were relatively new to treating patients as they had just started their clinical postings in February or March 2020. Working in the COVID-19 wards with the sudden influx of a large number of patients, treating them with ever-changing guidelines did cause increased physical and mental stress. Thus, to understand the impact of coronavirus infection on interns this study was conducted.

Materials and Methods:

An online survey was conducted among interns of various medical colleges of Nagpur, Mumbai, Pune, and Miraj using Google Forms. Participation was anonymous and voluntary. Responses were accepted for 1 week from March 27, 2020, till April 3, 2020. Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7 Scale (GAD-7) (9) were used to assess anxiety and depression.

Result:

Our study showed that 36.3% of the interns who were posted for COVID-19 duty had depression, whereas 34% had anxiety symptoms. Anxiety and depression were comparable in interns posted for COVID-19 duty and those posted in other clinical departments. Young age, female gender, and perceived risk of contracting COVID-19 were the predictors for anxiety and depression.

Conclusion:

There was a high level of anxiety and depression among interns working in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic irrespective of whether they were posted for COVID-19 duty or not. Reporting such information is important to plan further management of mental health needs.
Transcervical, retropharyngeal odontoidectomy – Anatomical considerations
Authors: Yakdan Salim M. , Greenberg Jacob K. , Krishnaney Ajit A. , Mroz Thomas E. , Spiessberger Alexander
Published: November 2023

Context:

Anterior craniocervical junction lesions have always been a challenge for neurosurgeons. Presenting with lower cranial nerve dysfunction and symptoms of brainstem compression, decompression is often required. While posterior approaches offer indirect ventral brainstem decompression, direct decompression via odontoidectomy is necessary when they fail. The transoral and endoscopic endonasal approaches have been explored but come with their own limitations and risks. A novel retropharyngeal approach to the cervical spine has shown promising results with reduced complications.

Aims:

This study aims to explore the feasibility and potential advantages of the anterior retropharyngeal approach for accessing the odontoid process.

Methods and Surgical Technique:

To investigate the anatomical aspects of the anterior retropharyngeal approach, a paramedian skin incision was performed below the submandibular gland on two cadaveric specimens. The subcutaneous tissue followed by the platysma is dissected, and the superficial fascial layer is opened. The plane between the vascular sheath laterally and the pharyngeal structures medially is entered below the branching point of the facial vein and internal jugular vein. After reaching the prevertebral plane, further dissection cranially is done in a blunt fashion below the superior pharyngeal nerve and artery. Various anatomical aspects were highlighted during this approach.

Results:

The anterior, submandibular retropharyngeal approach to the cervical spine was performed successfully on two cadavers highlighting relevant anatomical structures, including the carotid artery and the glossopharyngeal, hypoglossal, and vagus nerves. This approach offered wide exposure, avoidance of oropharyngeal contamination, and potential benefit in repairing cerebrospinal fluid fistulas.

Conclusions:

For accessing the craniocervical junction, the anterior retropharyngeal approach is a viable technique that offers many advantages. However, when employing this approach, surgeons must have adequate anatomical knowledge and technical proficiency to ensure better outcomes. Further studies are needed to enhance our anatomical variations understanding and reduce intraoperative risks.
Endoscopic versus microscopic discectomy for pathologies of lumbar spine: A nationwide cross-sectional study from a lower-middle-income country
Authors: Pahwa Bhavya , Tayal Anish , Chowdhury Dhiman , Umana Giuseppe Emmanuele , Chaurasia Bipin
Published: November 2023

Objective:

We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the preference of spine surgeons between MD for microdiscectomy and endoscopic discectomy (ED) surgery for the management of lumbar pathologies in a lower-middle-income country (LMIC).

Methodology:

An online survey assessing the preference of spine surgeons for various lumbar pathologies was developed and disseminated in “Neurosurgery Cocktail” a social media platform. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software with a level of significance <0.05.

Results:

We received responses from 160 spine surgeons having a median experience of 6.75 years (range 0–42 years) after residency. Most of the spine surgeons preferred MD over ED, preference being homogeneous across all lumbar pathologies. In ED, the interlaminar approach was preferred more frequently than the transforaminal approach. The most commonly chosen contraindication for the interlaminar approach and transforaminal approach was ≥ 3 levels lumbar disc herniation (LDH) (n= 117, 73.1%) and calcified LDH (n= 102, 63.8%), respectively. There was no significant association between the type of approach preferred (MD vs. ED; and interlaminar vs. translaminar endoscopic approach) with the type of workplace and the level of experience.

Conclusion:

Spine surgeons were inclined toward MD over ED, due to various reasons, such as a steep learning curve, lack of training opportunities, and upfront expenses. There is a pressing need for the upliftment of ED in LMICs which requires global action.

Influence of Some Selected Climatic Variables on Yam Production in Bosso Local Government of Niger State
Authors: Grace Olubisi Makinde
Published: November 2023

This study focused on the influence of Some Selected Climatic Variables on Yam Production in Bosso Local Government of Niger State. Secondary data was obtained from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, Minna (NIMET). The data acquired include rainfall and humidity data. Also, data for crop was obtained from the Agricultural development program Minna.  The result of the study therefore shows that positive relationship exists between yam production and rainfall/relative humidity in the area under study. As for the rainfall, it was observed that in 2020, where the rainfall value was maximum, the accompanying yam production was also very high, also in 2010 when the rainfall amount was recorded least, the yam production for that year was not much. Any variation in result could be associated with the source of data and the study areas. Summarily, it can be stated that there is an established positive relationship between climatic data (rainfall and relative humidity) and the production of yam for the period under study.   The study recommended that there is a need to develop and promote yam varieties that can withstand drought conditions given the impact of rainfall and humidity on yam production. Farmers should also be encouraged to adopt improved irrigation systems to mitigate the impact of low rainfall on yam production. This could include the use of drip irrigation systems or rainwater harvesting. Finally, farmers should be advised to plant yam at optimal times, taking into consideration the climatic conditions of their region.
Pertanggungjawaban Pidana Korporasi dan Pengurusnya dalam Penegakan Kerusakan Lingkungan Hidup akibat Limbah B3
Authors: Carwan  , Indah Lestari Sari
Published: November 2023

Environmental damage often involves corporations as industrial actors, and legislation in Indonesia has recognized corporations as legal subjects that can be held criminally responsible. This research aims to explore and analyze the concept of corporate criminal liability in the context of environmental damage caused by B3 waste in Indonesia. The main focus of the research is on the legal provisions governing environmental crimes, with special emphasis on Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH), Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry (UU Forestry), and Law -Law Number 39 of 2014 concerning Plantations (Plantation Law). This research examines Gillies' view which states that corporations can be considered "persons" in the eyes of the law, which allows the imposition of criminal liability on corporations as legal entities. However, the concept of corporate criminal liability, especially through the doctrine of "Vicarious/Derivative Individual Liability," raises questions about justice and ethics in criminal law enforcement. This research uses legal document and literature analysis methods to evaluate the relevance, effectiveness and fairness of the concept of corporate criminal liability in the context of environmental damage caused by B3 waste. The research results show that in a theoretical context, criminal liability of corporations and corporate administrators has a different conceptual basis. However, in practice, the construction of vicarious or derivative individual responsibility often causes law enforcers to attribute corporate criminal liability to corporate administrators without considering personal fault. This creates ambiguity between the criminal liability of corporations and corporate administrators, considering that both have different conceptual bases.

Authors: Salvatore Timothy , Esra Martha Ayerza
Published: November 2023

Investors often make irrational investment decisions. Decisions are often based on their judgment which is far from rational assumptions. When investors face risky situations, there are some objectivity, emotions, risk tolerance and other psychological factors that usually influence their decision making. The theory underlying this research is Efficient Market Hypothesis and Behavioral Finance. Efficient Market Hypothesis explains how information about a security or stock is used to predict the price of a security or stock in the future so that the resulting return can be predicted. Behavioral Finance studies how psychological phenomena influence financial behavior where there are biases that influence a person's behavior such as overconfidence, herding, and regret aversion. This study uses a judgment sampling by collecting data through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents who have already invested and are in Jakarta with the help of SPSS 20. Measuring instruments in this study are validity, reliability, average, likert scale, test classical assumptions, and multiple linear regression tests with valid, reliable results, the regression model fulfills the assumptions that the residues are normally distributed, there is no heteroscedasticity, and there is no multicollinearity. The results showed that overconfidence had a positive effect on investor investment decision making, while herding, regret aversion, and risk tolerance did not significantly influence investor investment decision making.

The Effect of Job Stress due to Environmental Changes and Compensation on Teachers’ Performance in Palembang City
Authors: Nurika Ellaine , Sukarim Rivaldi
Published: November 2023

In a corporate context, the success of an employees in performing their jobs can be measured by the low levels of job stress they experience, and it is known that there is a direct relationship between stress and performance, because when an employees have a high level of stress, the employee won’t be able to work efficiently and optimally.

Cua Dai is one of the 21 estuaries in the Central region and is the first river mouth to the north of the South Central Coastal region. It is renowned for its beautiful beaches, which attract many tourists. Additionally, the Cua Dai River mouth area is a fishing ground for local fishermen due to its rich marine biodiversity. However, a serious issue has emerged in this area. Cua Dai Beach has been facing severe erosion for several years, threatening its natural beauty. This article employs an integrated geographical approach, utilizing two main methods: document collection (research on geology and hydrodynamics) to determine historical changes and on-site surveys (in point format) to assess the extent and current status of erosion. Information exchange with residents is also conducted to understand the situation and gather data identifying the causes of erosion and sedimentation in the Cua Dai area, part of the lower Thu Bon River system in south-central Vietnam. The results indicate that erosion and sedimentation in the research area are influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors, with no single factor prevailing.
