Authors: Freitas-Junior Carlos Gilberto de , Faro Heloiana , Fortes Leonardo de Sousa
Published: March 2023

The objective of this study was to analyze which motivational factors influenced the search for the practice of strength training (ST) and its relationship with anxiety in adults during the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Forty-three ST practitioners analyzed their motivational factors using the Exercise Motivations Inventory - 2 (EMI-2) and their anxiety level using the Depression and Stress Anxiety Scale (DASS-21). Friedman's tests were used to compare motivational factors, and Spearman's tests were used to relate the EMI-2 results with the DASS-21 anxiety subscale. The main motivational factors for the practice of ST were physical condition, disease prevention, fun and well-being, and stress control. Anxiety levels showed a negative relationship with the affiliation factor for older ST practitioners (≥26 years). It is concluded that health care is the biggest motivational aspect for the practice of ST during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Coronaviruses of the order Nidovirales and families Coronaviridae, Arteriviridae, Mesoniviridae, Roniviridae were first isolated in 1937 and described in 1965. In 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus was responsible for the coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) in Worldwide. Due to the great importance of SARS-CoV-2, this study integrated information about the virus, as a response: its origin, diagnosis and treatment, diagnosis and treatment. For this, a bibliographic survey was carried out in the Scielo, PubMed and Google Scholar databases regarding SARS-CoV-2, in order to describe its characteristics. SARS-CoV-2 does not yet have a well-clarified pathophysiology, it is known that it can cause an acute or chronic lung injury and that this condition resembles SARS-CoV, which results in aggressive inflammation initiated by viral replication. Both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 replicated similarly in alveolar epithelium, but SARS-CoV-2 replicates extensively in bronchial epithelium. Reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is widely used to identify viruses that cause respiratory secretions. Currently, with an ongoing viral pandemic, the importance of identifying the pathophysiological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 and its serious impact on global public health becomes increasingly evident, especially with regard to the remarkable overload of health services, both private and public.

Published: March 2023

Antecedentes: La sepsis se define como un estado de disfunción multiorgánica como resultado de una repuesta inadecuada ante una infección sistémica, siendo la primera causa de muerte infecciosa a nivel mundial. Un pequeño grupo de pacientes con sepsis desarrolla shock séptico refractario, que se caracteriza por presentar hipotensión persistente con requerimiento de vasopresores para mantener una presión arterial media (PAM) adecuada y niveles elevados de lactato sérico a pesar de la reanimación con volumen adecuado. Esta condición se caracteriza por tener altas tasas de mortalidad que pueden alcanzar hasta el 40%, por lo que se ha propuesto el uso de glucocorticoides para revertir el estado de shock, sin embargo, todavía se desconoce el tipo, dosis y método de administración más adecuado. Objetivo general: Reunir evidencia científica sobre la utilidad de los glucocorticoides en pacientes adultos con shock séptico refractario ingresados en unidades de cuidados intensivos. Metodología: Se realizará una revisión bibliográfica de artículos científicos a texto completo, relacionados con el tema planteado con fecha de publicación desde el año 2017 al 2022. Se considerará además que tengan buen ranking (Q1-Q4) y no se discriminará el idioma de los mismos. Para la búsqueda bibliográfica se utilizarán términos MeSH junto con operadores boleanos. Por último, para la recolección de estudios se utilizará el diagrama PRISMA en sus cuatro fases, en el cual se describirá la totalidad de documentos científicos revisados. Resultados esperados: Se espera determinar que los glucocorticoides, específicamente hidrocortisona, en dosis bajas (200mg QD) administradas en bolos o infusión continua tienen la capacidad de reducir la mortalidad en pacientes con shock séptico refractario.

Authors: Campos Daniela Lima , Campos Poliana Lima , De Oliveira Tatiane Pires , Pereira Andreia Reis
Published: March 2023

A insônia pode ser definida como uma condição subjetiva de sono inadequado, relacionada à dificuldade no seu início ou manutenção. É o distúrbio do sono mais comum, com taxas de prevalência variando de 5 a 48% e devido a sua importância requer diagnóstico preciso e tratamento eficiente. Atualmente os profissionais da atenção primária ainda dependem fortemente da higiene do sono e da farmacoterapia como opções terapêuticas principais. Assim, esta pesquisa teve como finalidade comparar os estudos já realizados sobre as medicações fornecidas pelo SUS que frequentemente são usadas no tratamento da insônia. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática realizada no banco de dados da plataforma BVS usando as palavras-chave “Insomnia” and “Treatment” e o filtro “estudo clínico controlado”. Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos randomizados realizados com indivíduos acima de 18 anos sem comorbidades, que comparassem medicações usadas para insônia presentes na Relação Nacional de Medicamentos Essenciais com placebo e avaliados por medidas objetivas. Foram   analisados   oito   estudos   científicos relacionados a temática da pesquisa e que corresponderam satisfatoriamente aos critérios de inclusão. Através dessa revisão conclui-se que os benzodiazepínicos devem ser utilizados com cautela e a curto prazo devido ao perfil de efeitos colaterais. Anti-histamínicos ou antidepressivos não apresentaram evidências suficientes de resposta que indiquem seu uso para tratamento da insônia primária. Já a quetiapina demonstrou dados promissores que indicam que possivelmente seria uma boa opção para substituição dos hipnóticos tradicionais.

Published: March 2023

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer with high mortality, and the efficacy of monotherapy for TNBC is still disappointing. Here, we developed a novel combination therapy for TNBC based on a multifunctional nanohollow carbon sphere. This intelligent material contains a superadsorbed silicon dioxide sphere, sufficient loading space, a nanoscale hole on its surface, a robust shell, and an outer bilayer, and it could load both programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) small-molecule immune checkpoints and small-molecule photosensitizers with excellent loading contents, protect these small molecules during the systemic circulation, and achieve accumulation of them in tumor sites after systemic administration followed by the application of laser irradiation, thereby realizing dual attack of photodynamic therapy and immunotherapy on tumors. Importantly, we integrated the fasting-mimicking diet condition that can further enhance the cellular uptake efficiency of nanoparticles in tumor cells and amplify the immune responses, further enhancing the therapeutic effect. Thus, a novel combination therapy “PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade + photodynamic therapy + fasting-mimicking diet”was developed with the aid of our materials, which eventually achieved a marked therapeutic effect in 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. The concept can also be applied to the clinical treatment of human TNBC with guiding significance in the future.

A Research on the Design and Use of Colored Notes for Children in Music Education
Authors: Demirel Serkan
Published: March 2023

One of the essential tools of music education is the notation system. The musical notation system has evolved and attained its present form over many years. Learning the music notation system at an early age is an important step for the future of music education. For music education to start early, it may be helpful to adapt to music writing with colors without knowing how to read and write. This research aims to present a notation teaching method via colors to help music education. Although there have been some previous studies on colors and music, this research offers an approach for both using colors and removing them to adapt to today’s notation system. It is an innovative study in this respect. After using the colors, it is aimed to avoid adaptation difficulties when switching to the prevalent notation system. The two stages were connected by first showing the notes with a diagram of colors and intervals and then coloring today’s notation. The last stage aims to provide adaptation by removing the colors in the second stage. With the design obtained, three children’s songs were applied in 3 steps and analyzed. Every stage of the research was carried out in the company of music education experts, and technical problems that may arise were tried to be prevented. As a result of the study, a teaching system has emerged that can facilitate the teaching of musical notation, especially for illiterate preschool children and educators who want to teach notation.

Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) are recognized as an important cause of infection among immunocompromised patients with high morbidity and mortality. This study focused on the epidemiology, risk factors, antibiotic susceptibility, and clinical outcome of iNTS in Hospital Kuala Lumpur over 3 years period (2017-2019). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 43 adult patient who had NTS isolated from a sterile sample. The patient’s microbiology worksheets and medical notes were reviewed and analyzed. Results: The overall incidence rate for iNTS was 2.4 per 10,000 admissions. The patients median age was 57 years, with majority of them being above ≥ 55 years old (n=24, 55.8%). The most prevalent diseases are hypertension (28%), human immunodeficiency virus (20.9%), diabetes mellitus (18.6%) and heart disease (6.3%). Primary bacteraemia (95.3%) was the most frequent cause of iNTS, followed by tubo-ovarian abscess (2.3%) and urinary tract infections (2.3%). The overall mortality rate was 30%. The mortality rate was greater in patient presenting with shock on admission (p=0.04). Most of the invasive diseases were caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (95.3%). Overall, most isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone (97.7%). Five isolates were intermediately resistant to ciprofloxacin (11.6%). Only one isolate (2.3%) was multidrug resistant. Conclusions: The comorbidities of iNTS varies even within the same country. Mortality rates are higher in those with primary bacteraemia and shock during admission. By understanding the epidemiology of iNTS in Malaysia, it will provide valuable information about the vulnerable population at risk of iNTS and improve the treatment and management of this patients.

the appearance design of clothing online. It only takes 7 seconds for consumers to determine a product, and the colour
in its appearance design accounts for about 67% of the role. Thus, this study took the colour design of men's plain-colour
shirts as an example in China, established the basic colour calculation scale and an algorithm model of group
consumers' product preferences based on Kansei Engineering and scientific mathematics, to provide new sales ideas
and methods for retailers and markets online. Firstly, this study obtained the crucial Kansei word pairs (emotional
preferences) and colour design elements through interviews, literature, magazines and websites, word frequency
statistics, card sorting and cluster analysis. Then, researchers established a basic colour calculation scale of
cross-loading through Kansei Engineering and partial least squares (PLS). Finally, a recommendation set of products is
obtained using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the weight of Kansei word pairs, and the distance calculation of
comprehensive evaluation value based on consumers' emotional needs. That is, this study obtained consumers'
aesthetic emotional preference for men's plain-colour shirts in China, colour design elements of shirts that are widely
recognized and accepted, basic colour calculation scales, recommendation preferences algorithms and models for
group consumers, and verified their effectiveness by PCA.

Published: March 2023

Research on happiness is mostly done in terms of psychology. In this study, the level of happiness is seen from the sosial and economic side. The purpose of this study is to find out how the influence of economic growth and domestic income in influencing the level of happiness with inequality as a mediating variable. The data used in this study is secondary data obtained from BPS in 2009-2020. Hypothesis testing was carried out using PLS. From the results of the study it is known that domestic income acceptance has an influence on happiness. Domestic income, which is used more for spending to meet the level of community welfare, such as the establishment or improvement of the quality of community facilities such as health and education facilities, can help the community in improving the quality of life and values that exist within them so that the opportunity to participate in economic activities increases. So that the income received by the community is getting bigger so that the community's ability to meet the needs of the community is increasing. This condition can increase the level of happiness. The level of inequality cannot bridge the influence of economic growth and domestic income on happiness. This is because whatever the economic conditions and the situation of state revenues, the government always tries to increase the distribution of income so that the level of inequality decreases. Inequality and gross domestic product do not have a direct influence on determining the level of happiness.

Published: March 2023

In this study, the Sn concentration dependence of the sheet and contact resistances of the m-plane α-Ga2O3 were analyzed and the corresponding current mechanism was determined. The measurements were performed using samples by systematically varying the Sn concentration from 1 × 1017 to 1 × 1019 cm–3. The circular transfer length method pattern was then fabricated, and the sheet and contact resistances were calculated. The Sn concentration dependence was determined for both the sheet and contact resistances. The thermionic field emission model was applied as a current mechanism for the contact resistance, and its results were compared with the values calculated using the Schottky barrier as a parameter. The effect of light illumination on the contact resistance was also analyzed.
Relationship between backpack weight and incidence of low back pain in
senior high students
Authors: Djajasasmita Daswara , Jacob Manoe Zacarja , Wulandari Feby
Published: March 2023

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders that can impair
daily activities. The causes of LBP are mostly non-specific, including the abnormalities in the
soft tissues or form of muscles, ligament injuries, and muscle spasms or fat igue. One of the
causes of LBP is carrying excess weight. If the load carried exceeds 15% of body weight, the
person who carried the weight will experience musculoskeletal disorders. Students may carry a
backpack with a weight that exceeds the recommended weight and this weight will put pressures
on the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, causing tension and acute neck pain. These students
then will have a higher risk of suffering LBP. The aimed of this study was to identify the
relationship between the backpack load and the incidence of low back pain in students. Using
the cross-sectional analytical method, this study was performed on a total of 63 students from
a senior high school in Cimahi, Indonesia. Subjects were selected using the multistage random
sampling and data on the sociodemographic, backpack load, and low back pain were collected
and analyzed using the chi-square test. Results showed that 45 students (71.4%) experienced
LBP, while the average weight of the backpack carried by these students 6.59 kg (p <0.001).
Thus, there is a significant relationship between the excessive backpack weight and the
incidence of LBP among students

Published: March 2023

Early diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is very important in determining further
management. Diagnostic kits are intended as relatively faster, easier, and cheaper diagnostic
tools. The objectives of this experimental laboratory study was to prepare a diagnostic kit
candidate to detect dengue antibody in human serum using co -agglutination methods by
utilizing protein A positive Staphylococcus aureus as a carrier to bind Fc immunoglobulin
fractions without altering its ability to bind antigen. To enhance the sensitivity and specificity
of the diagnostic kit, chicken IgY was used as one of the components. Rabbit immunoglobulin
chicken anti-IgY was used as an intermediary connection between protein A positive and
Staphylococcus aureus with chicken IgY. Solution A contains Staphylococcus aureus Cowan
I and rabbit immunoglobulin chicken anti-IgY serum while Solution B contains anti-dengue
chicken serum and dengue antigen. The laboratory experiments produced a formula of A: B =
1~3: 1~3 (v/v), which was then tested to human serum and compared with IgM and IgG ELISA
tests as the gold standard. Data on the results of the test were statistically analyzed using chi -
square test. Of the 65 qualified samples used, 47.69% resulted in true positive and 41.54%
resulted in true negative. Meanwhile, the remaining samples demonstrated false negative
(6.15%), positive predictive value (91.2%) and negative predictive value (87.1%). The
sensitivity and specificity were 89% and 90%, respectively, with no significant diffe rences
(p>0.05). Therefore, co-agglutination method using S. aureus with protein A positive as a
carrier can be proposed as a diagnostic kit candidate to detect human serum dengue antibody to
screen dengue hemorrhagic fever cases.

Published: March 2023

Fatty liver is a disorder of liver characterized by the accumulation of fat liver cells. The
incidence of fatty liver in Indonesia is 30%. Fatty liver can be caused by hyperlipidemia.
Hyperlipidemia triggers an increase of oxidative stress that leads to fatty liver. Treatment is
usually carried out using statins, but long-term consumption of statin may lead to several side
effects. Other treatment that can lower cholesterol levels traditionally is celery. This study aimed
to determine the effect of ethanol extract of celery on the microscopic appearance of the
liver induced by hypercholesterolemia in experimental rats. This was an posttest control
group experimental on 25 rats that were divided into 5 groups: negative control group, positive
control group, and three (3) treatment groups. Each treatment group was given a high-fat diet
for 14 days, followed by a provision of high-fat diet with different celery extract doses of 37.5
mg/KgBW/day, 75 mg/KgBW/day, and 150 mg/KgBW/day. After the treatment completed,
the rats were sacrificed and dissected, and their liver was for histopathological preparations.
Data on the in the average fat score between the control group and the three treatment groups
were collected and analyzed using one way ANOVA if they were normally distributed with the
Kruskal Wallis test as the alternative test. To determine whether there was a significant
difference between two treatment groups, a post-hoc statistical test was performed. A significant
change was observed in the histological presentations of the liver between control and treatment
groups (p <0.5). There was a marked improvement of cytoplasm, sinusoid and cell nucleus in
the treatment groups compared to positive control group with a dose of 37.5 mg/KgBW/day

A STUDY OF CONVENTIONAL SEPTOPLASTY VERSUS ENDOSCOPIC SEPTOPLASTY
Authors: Kumar Ashish , Kumari Renu
Published: March 2023

Introduction:Adeviated septum can be asymptomatic or can cause functional and cosmetic abnormalities. Different studies have been proposed for the correction of deviated septum, but septoplasty has been the treatment of choice. Septoplasty is a more conservative surgery and endoscopic septoplasty has become increasingly popular over the past few decades. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out to compare the postoperative results among patients of conventional and endoscopic septoplasty and to assess the efcacy of endoscopic septoplasty with other surgeries. The present study was conducted among 40 patients of deviated nasal septum admitted in the Department of Otolaryngology of Patna Medical College & Hospital , Patna for 12 months. Patients were selected by simple random sampling and were divided into Groups Aand B, with 20 patients in each group. Group A underwent conventional septoplasty and Group B underwent endoscopic septoplasty. Results: The male-tofemale ratio in the present study was 3:1. Deviated nasal septum was commonly associated with inferior turbinate hypertrophy (44%) and concha bullosa (28%). Postoperatively, a signicant relief from the symptoms of nasal obstruction (80%), nasal discharge (30%), headache (30%), and postnasal drip (55%) was observed in endoscopic septoplasty. Complication rate was higher in conventional septoplasty. The endoscopic approach facilitates proper alignment by limited and precise resection of pathological areas. Conclusion: Endoscopic septoplasty provides precise resection of the pathological areas and better illumination with limited ap dissection and exposure.

Introduction: Adenoid cystic pattern in papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare nding. Here w Case description: e present a case of a 62 years old
female who came with the complaint of swelling in the midline of the neck since last 7 years. Local examination revealed a rm to hard mass of size
approximately 8 x 6 cm in the midline of the neck which moved with deglutition. Another swelling of size 3.5 x 2.5 cm was found in the posterior
scalp.MRI neck showed a lobulated mass measuring 7.1 x 6.4 x 8.0 cm in right lobe of thyroid, causing mass effect over adjacent larynx and trachea.
MRI brain revealed a well-dened soft tissue mass lesion measuring 3.6 x 3.3 x 3.4 cm in right parietal bone causing lytic destruction of bony
calvaria. Ultrasonography of whole abdomen revealed two well dened lesions in liver, suggesting possibility of metastasis/ hemangioma. On ne
needle aspiration of neck swelling, cellular smears showing cells arranged in clusters, microfollicles, vague papillary pattern alongwith abundant
hyaline globules, nuclear grooving and nuclear inclusions were present, suggestive of papillary thyroid carcinoma with adenoid cystic pattern.
FNA of the scalp swelling showed similar features, suggestive of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma with adenoid cystic features. Discussion:
Though rare, papillary thyroid carcinoma with adenoid cystic features should be differentiated from metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma of larynx
and salivary glands, which at times is challenging.

Diabetes Mellitus is a common condition affecting individuals of either gender. The onset has been observed at early age making it more difcult to
differentiate between type I & type II. This health problem has added to the global burden and would further contribute to the health expenses as it is
expected to increase with the global prevalence to 738 million by 2045. It is generally associated with complications due to long standing disease or
due to poor glycemic control.
Trigger Finger is one of the common musculoskeletal diabetic complication seen in long standing diabetics with poor glycemic control affecting
individuals of any age and either gender but, more commonly the elderly. Trigger Finger is found to be associated with co-morbid conditions like
diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, gout etc. causing signicant functional impairment.
The present study reviews the prevalence, pathophysiology, epidemiology along with the management of the musculoskeletal conditions

Background: Allergic rhinitis is an Ig E mediated inammatory response of nasal mucosa, known to have a signicant impact on quality of life.
Clinical studies have found that combining an antihistamine with an intranasal corticosteroid provides few or no advantages over monotherapy
with an intranasal corticosteroid. Objective-To compare clinically the effectiveness of intranasal uticasone spray and intranasal uticasone spray
with oral levocetrizine in relief of symptoms in allergic rhinitis using TNSS (Total Nasal Symptom Score)- a randomized control study. Materials
and methods: A Randomized control study with total number of 40 patients clinically diagnosed with allergic rhinitis coming to the ENT OPD,
S.N.M.C, Bagalkot was done. Patients were randomized into two groups. In group A, intranasal uticasone spray 2 puffs OD was given and
combination of intranasal uticasone spray with oral levocetrizine OD in group B for a period of 4 weeks. Results: Symptom improvement in nasal
symptom scores in both groups were compared at 1st week, 2nd week and 4th week. Patients in intranasal uticasone with oral levocetrizine group
had better improvement compared to the intranasal uticasone spray alone in third visit, which was statistically signicant (p=0.002). This study
concludes that, although corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment in allergic rhinitis, but when used with oral levocetrizine has better

Compared to colonic diverticula, the jejunum has signicantly less of a tendency to develop diverticulitis because to the diverticulum's bigger size,
better intraluminal ow, and relatively sterile jejunal content . Acute intestinal obstruction, diverticular bleeding , and most commonly perforation
with mesenteric abscess, localized or global peritonitis are complications of jejunal diverticulitis. Multidectector row computed tomography is
now the best diagnostic imaging for small bowel diverticulitis as well as its complications [1]. Treatment depends on the symptomatology of
patients, can be non surgical or surgical. Advanced age, concomitant comorbidities , delayed diagnosis , and primarily the gap between perforation
and surgery are poor prognostic factors[1]. We present an elderly gentleman whose diagnosis was not made till he had his laparotomy
