Introduction: Burnout Syndrome is characterized by a state of exhaustion resulting from professional activity. Health professionals and students, due to constant exposure to stressors, have a high risk of developing the syndrome. Objectives: This study aims to describe the factors that contribute to the high incidence of Burnout Syndrome among physicians and medical students, in addition to proposing therapeutic approaches for the management of the syndrome. Methodology: A narrative review of the literature was carried out, with analysis of databases: PubMed and SciELO, using the terms “Burnout Syndrome” and its variations. Articles published between 2020 and 2024 were selected. Of a total of 236 articles, 32 manuscripts were analyzed and their interpretations were synthesized based on content analysis. Results and Discussion: The literature indicates that Burnout Syndrome among physicians is widely discussed as an epidemic phenomenon. This syndrome is still often stigmatized, as professionals may feel inadequate due to needing help or being unable to meet work demands, which makes it difficult to communicate about the impact of burnout. Medical students are also at high risk of developing burnout due to various stressors and the heavy workload. Risk factors include the presence of physical illnesses, use of medications, dissatisfaction with the academic curriculum, and others. Regarding clinical management, the combination of drug treatments, such as antidepressants and anxiolytics, with non-pharmacological therapies, such as hypnotherapy, acupuncture, and physical exercise, tends to present better results than isolated treatments. Conclusion: It was found that the main factors associated with the high incidence of burnout syndrome are related to the excessive demands faced by both workers and students. The combination of drug and non-pharmacological therapies is recommended as the most effective approach to managing the syndrome.

INTRODUCTION: Analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in emergency departments due to their efficacy in relieving pain and reducing inflammation. These medications play a vital role in the management of several acute conditions, including trauma, musculoskeletal pain, and inflammation. However, indiscriminate use without appropriate precautions can result in significant adverse effects, particularly in patients with preexisting comorbidities. Therefore, it is imperative that healthcare professionals understand the specific indications and precautions associated with the use of NSAIDs in emergency settings. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to review and synthesize the recent literature on the indications and precautions for the use of NSAIDs in the emergency department, highlighting the therapeutic benefits and potential risks associated with these medications. METHODOLOGY: An integrative review was conducted using the search terms "NSAIDs", "analgesics", "emergency room" and "precautions" in the SCIELO and PubMed databases, focusing on articles published in the last five years in Brazil. Twenty-five articles were initially identified, of which 12 were selected for detailed analysis based on their relevance and contribution to the topic. RESULTS: The main NSAIDs used in the emergency room include ibuprofen, diclofenac and ketorolac. Ibuprofen is widely used due to its relatively favorable safety profile and efficacy in the management of pain and inflammation. Diclofenac, known for its potent anti-inflammatory action, is indicated in cases of severe pain, but should be used with caution in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease. Ketorolac is frequently used for the management of moderate to severe acute pain, especially after surgical procedures, due to its potent analgesic action. The main precautions for the use of NSAIDs include monitoring of renal and hepatic functions, assessment of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risks, and consideration of drug interactions. Patients with a history of peptic ulcer, renal insufficiency, or cardiac disease should be carefully evaluated before administering NSAIDs. CONCLUSIONS: The appropriate use of NSAIDs in the emergency department can provide significant relief from pain and inflammation, improving the quality of life of patients. However, it is essential that health care professionals adopt a cautious approach, considering the specific indications and the necessary precautions to minimize the risk of adverse effects. Continuous education and updating on the safety profiles of NSAIDs are essential for safe and effective clinical practice.

Published: September 2024

Gestational Hypertensive Syndromes (GHS) are a significant complication in obstetrics, affecting approximately 16% of pregnancies, with preeclampsia (PE) being one of the most prevalent, affecting between 3% and 10% of pregnant women. PE is characterized by hypertension and organ damage after 20 weeks of gestation, and can become even more complicated when superimposed on chronic hypertension, especially in women with preexisting kidney diseases. Eclampsia, marked by tonic-clonic seizures or coma, occurs in pregnant women with no history of other neurological conditions, and is one of the most severe manifestations of PE. This study reviews the current clinical approaches to PE, based on the analysis of 160 articles published between 2015 and 2024, with descriptors such as "Approach", "Clinical", and "Gestational Hypertensive Syndrome". Nulliparity appears as an important risk factor for the development of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Although antihypertensive treatment is widely used, it remains controversial, with debates about its effectiveness in preventing serious complications such as placental abruption, second-trimester fetal loss, and preterm birth. In the management of PE, the focus is on preventing maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, through tight blood pressure control, prevention of eclampsia, and continuous monitoring of fetal well-being. Early identification of laboratory complications, such as HELLP syndrome, is crucial for adequate management, seeking to balance maternal-fetal risks with the challenges of prematurity. An in-depth understanding of GHS and the adoption of a multidisciplinary approach are essential to mitigate negative impacts on the health of the mother and fetus, ensuring timely and effective intervention.

Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Diagnosis, therapeutic approaches, and impact on families
Authors: da Silva Tereza Freitas
Published: September 2024

During the last few decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children diagnosed with autism have unique needs and patterns of behavior, including difficulties in communication, limitations in social interaction, disinterest in social activities, and often an unstable temperament. This demands understanding and continuous dedication from those who live with them. The objective of this study is to investigate the essential elements related to diagnosis, treatment and the impact of ASD on family dynamics. This research is descriptive, with qualitative analysis and data collected through a questionnaire answered by 11 family members. The results indicate that many families initially deny the symptoms presented by their children, which delays the search for medical help. In addition, the acceptance of the diagnosis is often a challenging process, affecting various feelings and the family structure. However, the knowledge gained about the disorder allows families to engage in therapies that contribute to the child's development. In this sense, there is a movement in which families seek support and society mobilizes to improve the quality of life of people with ASD.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a set of neurodevelopmental disorders, identified from deficits in communication and social interaction, as well as restricted and repetitive behavioral patterns. The dental management of ASD requires individualization and a deep understanding of the child's behavioral profile, in which he makes use of several management techniques specific to pediatric dentistry. The lack of utensils and resources for specific care of these patients is a problem. The present study aimed to perform a narrative review of the literature regarding assistive technologies (ATs) as a tool for communication between dental surgeon and patient. Searches were used through the Virtual Health Library - VHL PubMed, SciElo, Lilacs and VHL databases, using the following descriptors: "Autism Spectrum Disorder", "Pediatric Dentistry", "Communication Accessibility" and "Dental Technology" and their counterparts in English and Spanish, within the period of the last 5 years. Additionally, the 2019 Guide for Oral Health Care for People with Disabilities, from the Ministry of Health, was consulted. AT ranges from a simple, low-tech device, such as a magnifying glass, to a complex high-tech device, such as a computerized communication system. The PEC's system, Picture Exchange Communication System, is a promising and very useful tool for the communication of the professional and his patient, especially non-verbal ones. There are also highly complex technologies, such as applications that facilitate communication. ED emerge as communication facilitators for people with disabilities or who have limitations in their communication with the aim of increasing independence, improving interaction and communication when used in the care of patients with ASD. Although it needs more studies in this area, assistive technologies are resources that help in the patient's comfort and communication and that, if well worked by the dentist, can offer a successful treatment.

Context: HER2-positive breast cancer, one of the most aggressive subtypes of breast cancer, is associated with the high cost of HER2-targeted therapies. However, its financial burden in Vietnam has not been fully investigated. Aims: To determine the direct medical costs associated with HER2-positive breast cancer treatment in Vietnam from the perspective of healthcare payers, including social health insurance providers and patients. Methods: A multicenter study was conducted in two tertiary hospitals from January to December 2022. Retrospective patient-level data of 303 HER2-positive breast cancer patients who underwent adjuvant systemic treatment for initial treatment was analyzed. A micro-costing bottom-up approach was used to estimate the direct medical cost per inpatient admission in 2022. All cost calculations are presented as USD values using an exchange rate in 2022. Results: The average cost per inpatient admission was $680.0 ± $431.7. Of these, out-of-pocket costs accounted for approximately 42%. Drug costs were the main driver of total spending (92.9%), followed by hospital beds (2.2%), laboratory tests, and diagnostic imaging (2%). The cost of HER2-targeted therapy was responsible for 82.9% of the total direct medical cost. The average cost per inpatient admission of patients receiving chemotherapy with anti-HER2 agents was seven times higher than that of patients receiving chemotherapy alone ($864.0 vs. $120.6). Factors affecting the cost per inpatient admission were age, residence (urban or rural), occupation, and health insurance reimbursement rate. Conclusions: HER-positive breast cancer treatment imposes a significant financial burden in Vietnam, particularly with regimens containing HER2-targeted therapies. The findings of our study add to the increasing literature on the cost of breast cancer treatment and can contribute to the pharmacoeconomic analysis of HER2-positive breast cancer treatment in Vietnam.

Published: September 2024

Background: One of the most prevalent causes of anterior knee pain is chondromalacia patella (CMP), particularly among young populations, including soldiers. Although various treatments have been suggested to relieve the symptoms and improve the functioning of patients with CMP, none have proven to be adequately effective. Objectives: This study assessed the effectiveness of electroacupuncture as a complementary treatment for CMP, noting its minimal complications. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, soldiers diagnosed with CMP who met the inclusion criteria and referred to Imam Reza Hospital in Tehran in 2023 were assigned to one of two treatment groups. The electroacupuncture group received treatment at specific acupuncture points combined with an electrical current. The physical therapy group underwent treatment consisting of 10 sessions of routine physical therapy modalities. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and disability and the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) questionnaire were used to assess the outcomes before the intervention and three months after the intervention. Results: Twenty participants were analyzed in each group. The VAS for pain and disability reduced in both groups during the study; however, the difference between the two groups was not significant (P = 0.999 for pain and P = 0.873 for disability). No significant difference was observed in the KOOS symptom score either during the study or between the two groups (P = 0.423). The changes in the “pain” scores of the KOOS questionnaire were significant both in the electroacupuncture group (P = 0.003) and in the physical therapy group (P = 0.038); however, the difference was not significant between the two groups. The “activities of daily living” scores of the patients were significant both during the study and between the two groups (P = 0.042), with a steeper improvement in the electroacupuncture group. The patients’ “sports and recreational activities” scores were significant in the electroacupuncture group (P = 0.001) and between the two groups (P = 0.023). The “knee-related quality-of-life” scores were significant in both groups, and the comparison of the two groups indicated that the slope of the changes was higher in the electroacupuncture group than in the physical therapy group (P = 0.001). Conclusions: According to the results of the current research, electroacupuncture can improve the symptoms and function of patients with CMP, and its efficacy is equivalent to that of physical therapy.

Background: Brucellosis is the most common zoonotic disease worldwide, primarily caused by Brucella abortus, and can lead to potential infertility in both men and women. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of brucellosis over a seven-year period (2014 - 2021) in Andika city. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the medical records of brucellosis patients at the Health Vice-Chancellor of Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, during 2014 - 2021. The study variables included age, gender, history of contact with infected animals, place of residence, occupation, consumption of dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt), and education. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Results: A total of 162 patients were reported from 2014 to 2021. The highest number of brucellosis cases occurred in 2015. In this study, 42% of the patients were men and 58% were women. Of the total patients, 62.3% were from rural areas, while 37.7% were from other areas. Among occupational groups, homemakers had the highest frequency of brucellosis cases at 30.2%. The age group with the highest incidence was 21 - 30 years, at 21%. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that the majority of patients were from rural areas and were female. The incidence of brucellosis in Andika city appears to be decreasing. Since human brucellosis incidence closely correlates with the incidence in animals, controlling the disease in animals can help reduce human cases.
The Pink Tax in Consumer Behavior for Personal Care Products
Authors: Pramesti Adenia Naura
Published: September 2024

Pricing significantly influences consumer decisions, with variations often observed for similar products due to purchase timing, market segments, and Gender. This phenomenon, known as price discrimination, can raise ethical concerns, especially when it exacerbates inequalities. A notable example is the "pink tax," where products marketed towards women are priced higher. Despite legislative efforts like California's Gender Tax Repeal Act and similar measures in New York, gender-based pricing disparities persist, particularly in personal care products. This study explores consumer perceptions of pricing fairness in personal care products and the impact of the pink tax on purchasing decisions. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys to gather quantitative data and semi-structured interviews for qualitative insights. The surveys measure public awareness and attitudes towards the pink tax, while in-depth interviews with women who frequently purchase personal care products provide an understanding of their experiences. The results are expected to reveal that consumers generally perceive the pink tax as unfair and exploitative, influencing their purchasing behaviour and attitudes towards gender-neutral products. This study will contribute to understanding gender-based pricing and its effects on consumer behaviour in Indonesia, offering insights for promoting fairer pricing practices.

Based on data from the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) in 2022, 21.6% of Indonesian children suffer from wasting 7.7%. A disorder known as "wasting" in children occurs when their weight falls till it is higher than what is considered normal for their age. For children's growth and well-being, they must consume enough fruits. Although fruits provide vital vitamins and minerals that boost immunity and general health, many kids dislike them because of their flavor, texture, or inexperience with new meals. Lil'Bites, a startup focusing on children's health, sees this opportunity to create kid-friendly fruit jams as a viable approach to ensuring kids consume enough fruits. This research aims to assess the financial feasibility of developing a new product line, which is a healthy jam for kids, using a quantitative approach, utilizing company data as primary data and data from similar companies as secondary data. The study will evaluate the payback period, net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR) and assess risk through sensitivity analysis. The results based on the base scenario indicate that the Lil'Bites new product line project is financially feasible, resulting in a payback period of 1.9 years, an NPV of IDR401,807,628, and an IRR of 54.94%, which is significantly higher than the WACC of 9.36%.

Objective: Suicide is a global concern and one of the leading causes of death among youth. This systematic review aims to summarize the current state of literature on suicidality rates and known risk and protective factors among youth in Muslim and Arab countries. Method: A comprehensive search strategy was employed through Medline, PsycInfo, CINAHL, Proquest Dissertations & Theses Global, and Web of Science, from January 2000 to March 2024. Articles were included if they examined youth up to 18 years of age who had reported mental health conditions. Results: 14 articles met the inclusion criteria. The findings revealed that suicide mortality rates in Muslim and Arab youth ranged from 0.5% to 8.9%. Suicide attempt rates varied from 4.3% to 11.4% across different countries. Risk factors for suicidality included anxiety, depression, stress, abuse or bullying, family issues, smoking, low socioeconomic status, guilt and shame, and loneliness/isolation. Protective factors identified were higher socioeconomic status, satisfaction with social life, a sense of belonging, coping strategies, strong family environments, and religious beliefs. Gender-specific differences were limited, and more research is needed to explore this aspect. Conclusion: The study highlights the need for improved reporting of suicide data and more comprehensive research focusing on younger populations. Understanding suicidality rates and culturally specific risk and protective factors is crucial for effective suicide prevention and treatment strategies among youth in these regions. Further research is warranted to address the limitations and gaps in the current literature.
