Published: January 2022

This study aimed to examine the impact of transformational leadership practices of educational supervisors on the sustainable professional development of mathematics teachers in the Sultanate of Oman. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive approach was adopted. The study’s sample were 261 mathematics teachers. The researchers used the supervisors' practice of transformational leadership scale, and the researcher's sustainable professional development scale. The validity of the content of the two scales was measured through the validity of the terms and sampling validity. The reliability of internal consistency was also measured by the Alpha Cronbach. To ensure the factorial structure of the two scales, the researchers conducted a confirmatory factor analysis of the assumed model for each scale, and for the hypothetical model, and the results showed obtaining two models that match the current study data to large extent. The researchers used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), where the results showed a positive and significant impact of transformational leadership practices for educational supervisors on the sustainable professional development of mathematics teachers in planning, curriculum, evaluation, professional development, and teaching methods.

Authors: Vu Quoc-Chung , Thi Pham Dieu-Thuy , Le Duy-Cuong
Published: January 2022

Vietnam is currently in the process of renovating the general educational curriculum, shifting from a content-based to a competency-based approach, with mathematical creativity as one of the core competencies. This paper aims to determine the correlations of perception, emotion, and behavior in sustainable development of mathematical creativity for primary school students in Vietnam. Analysis of 5th graders’ survey results in different regions in Vietnam (N = 903) shows that perception and emotion are highly correlated with the p-value Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 (<0.01); emotion and behavior are also correlated positively with the p-value Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.01, while perception and behavior also have a positive correlation with the p-value Sig. < 0.01. From the analysis, there are positive correlations of perception, emotion, and behavior, in which the role of emotion has the strongest effect on the process of teaching mathematical creativity for Vietnamese primary school students. At the same time, the analysis results show that there is no vast difference between students’ perception, emotion, and behavior amongst the urban, plain, and mountainous areas in Vietnam. The paper affirms the necessity to discover and strengthen students’ mathematical creativity from the primary school levels to equip human resources with essential competencies to face future obstacles in achieving sustainable development.

Authors: Almalki Nabil S.
Published: January 2022

The study aimed to identify the nature of the difficulties facing the inclusion of students with disabilities from the viewpoint of workers in integrated schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and identify the differences in those difficulties that are due to the variables (job title, gender, scientific qualification, specialization, years of teaching experience). It also aimed to identify the most challenging categories of disability to integrate into regular classes and identify the proposals of workers in integration schools to overcome the difficulties facing inclusion. The study population consisted of all workers in the integration schools that contain grades (1-10) and contain an educational counselor and students with disabilities, where a representative sample of (179) workers in these schools was selected. The researcher used a questionnaire to classify the difficulties within four dimensions: resources learning (equipment, means and methods, and curriculum). Next is evaluation and its contents of classroom evaluation strategies and activities, then qualification of educators, and finally awareness and trends; the tool contains (39) items. The study results showed no formal evaluation strategies in place for students with disabilities, and there is awareness and positive attitudes towards integrating students with disabilities, in addition to the presence of a resource room and a special education teacher to help support students with disabilities. Furthermore, there is a lack of educational evaluation tools for the disabled category, which the Ministry circulates in the field when evaluating them and setting achievement tests. Results also showed that teachers do not consider individual differences between students; besides insufficient training received by teachers to deal with students with disabilities, the inclusion of students with disabilities helps to form healthy social relationships with others.The researcher recommended some recommendations such as determining the criteria for inclusion of students with disabilities in integrated schools, increasing the number of resource rooms, conducting studies similar to this study to examine the difficulties facing the integration of the disabled in the integration schools from the point of view of the parents, the disabled, and the relevant institutions.

Published: January 2022

Linear Programming is a course under the scope of algebra that must be mastered by mathematics education students. The low ability to solve linear programming problems can affect student performance when they become a teacher. This study aims to analyze the need for developing learning videos in Linear Programming courses for students of the Mathematics Education Study Program. The method used is development research which consists of Preliminary Analysis, Product Prototype, and Assessment. The research subjects were 30 students in the 7th semester of mathematics education and had attended online Linear Programming lectures in the previous semester. Data were collected by conducting written tests, questionnaires, and interviews and analyzed quantitatively descriptively. The results of the written test analysis showed that the students' ability to solve linear programming problems was low. Based on interviews, it is also known that students are not enough just to learn through modules and virtual meetings. Students tend to need learning videos/records to repeat explanations when studying the material independently. Therefore, there is a great need for learning videos that can optimize online learning of Linear Programming courses.

Authors: M Rishitha , M Akasha Sindhu
Published: January 2022

Radial nerve palsy was induced by radial nerve compression, which was often caused by humerus bone fracture. This leads to pain, weakness, or loss of function mostly in the wrist, hand, and fingers. We reported a case of a 24-year-old male patient with complaints of swelling of the right-hand wrist joint and pain during extension and flexion while moving. He had a three-month history of mild displaced humeral shaft fracture from a traffic accident and an intramedullary Ender nailing was performed. He now has been admitted with swelling in his right wrist joint and pain while moving his hand. The case was diagnosed as Radial nerve palsy. Surgery was performed, the proximal and distal ends of the radial nerve were separated at the humeral bone's surface. The radial nerve stumps were enough long to be sutured. Our one-month follow-up shows no complications. The majority cases of radial nerve palsy will resolve within a few weeks after surgery, as our patient did, and the most prominent is patient education.

Authors: Y Yamini , B Pushpa kumari , S Mehathaj , V Phani deepthi
Published: January 2022

Objective Alzheimer's illnesses are becoming medical nightmares because there is no exact solution and existing nootropic medicines (Piracetam, tacrine, and metrifonate) have significant drawbacks. The goal of this study was to see if the ethanolic root extract of Grewia hirsuta (ERGH) could improve memory in rats who had been given scopolamine.

Materials and procedures At rats, ERGH was given orally in dosages of 200 and 400 mg/kg for 28 days, followed by Scopolamine (18 mg/kg i.p.) from the 25th to the 27th day. The usual nootropic drug was piracetam (200 mg/kg). The elevated plus maze (EPM), Morris water maze (MWM), and passive avoidance (PA) paradigms are used to assess cognitive functioning. Invivo anti-oxidant activity and brain acetylcholine esterase (AchE) activity were assessed.

 Results: At the indicated doses, ERGH extract showed a substantial memory-enhancing activity by decreasing the transfer latency in EPM, increasing the escape latency in MWM, and increasing the shock-free zone in PA. In scopolamine-induced amnesia rats, pretreatment with ERGH resulted in a significant drop in AchE enzyme, an increase in enzymatic antioxidant, and a decrease in MDA levels.

Conclusion Because of its several favorable benefits, such as memory-improving properties, anticholinesterase activity, and antioxidant activity, ERGH may prove to be a useful drug in the current study, and it would be important to investigate its potential in the care of Alzheimer's patients.

Published: January 2022

Orally disintegrating tablets of Furosemide were prepared, evaluated and the comparison of the action of different concentrations of disintegrants on disintegration and dissolution of the tablets were studied. Direct compression method was used to prepare the orally disintegrating tablets containing 20 mg of Furosemide. The formulation was conducted using different concentrations of crospovidone, croscarmellose and sodium starch glycolate as superdisintegrants and their interactions with Furosemide were also evaluated using FTIR.  FTIR studies using the drug and its mixtures with the excipients showed that the peaks correlate with one another which signify that there is no interaction between the drug molecule and the excipients used. The obtained results revealed that the disintegration time of ODTs were between 9 to 59 seconds. The percentage drug content of tablets in all the formulations was found between 91.51% to 106.69%, which complies with the limits established in pharmacopoeia. The in-vitro dissolution studies show maximum release of 89.47% in formulation F3 and minimum of 77.64% in formulation F12. Higher concentration of crospovidone and croscarmellose in formulations F3 and F6 showed better dissolution properties than SSG. So by varying the concentrations of superdisintegrants, oral disintegrating tablets can be formulated.

Published: January 2022

Inguinal hernia is a common surgical disease. Giant inguinoscrotal hernias are more unusual and impose significant impact on quality of life including difficulty with mobility, scrotal skin ulceration and bowel obstruction.  Besides it is more challenging in terms of surgical management. Diagnosis of giant inguinoscrotal hernia is straight forward on clinical examination. Nevertheless, with the advent of CT scan, pre-operative contrast-enhanced CT scan is useful for ascertaining the hernia contents, its configuration and measuring the neck of hernia. We report a case of a patient with extremely huge irreducible right giant inguinoscrotal hernias.

Ovarian tumor is the third leading common gynecologic tumor and the common leading cause of death in gynecological cancers to the entire global and studies suggested that Rab25 is insinuated in the pathological process of ovarian cancer. Despite the availability of biomarkers for ovarian cancer detection, there are no specific markers that enable the early detection of ovarian cancers which open an avenue to Rab25 to be review. A number of genes and proteins have been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancers. Of them, Ras-related protein 25 (Rab25) is suggested to be linked to increased risk of ovarian cancer development. Rab25, an intracellular transport protein, belongs to the Rab small GTPase family and regulates various aspects of internalized membrane protein recycling and trafficking occurring inside the cells to the cell membrane. It is known to be involved in cell proliferation, and prevents apoptosis and invasion in ovarian cancer. Rab25 is highly found in epithelial cells and the expression of Rab25 proteins has been implicated to be ubiquitous. Upregulation of Rab25 has also been strongly shown to intensify the cancer cell proliferation and to prevent apoptosis in vitro and in vivo .Here in we will review the past and current studies implicating Rab 25 as potential biomarker in ovarian cancer in addition to pathogenesis

Published: January 2022

Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is the inflammation and auto-digestion of the pancreas and is usually associated with the elevation of serum amylase and lipase levels. Here, we report a rare presentation of AP with normal pancreatic enzymes and lupus vulgaris (LV) in a patient with cystic fibrosis (CF). The chief complaints included severe abdominal pain in association with fever and vomiting. On examination, the abdomen was tense and tender. There were bilateral coarse crepitations with expiratory wheeze more pronounced on the left lower chest. After detailed clinical evaluation, a provisional diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, with pneumonitis and oral thrush was established. Routine laboratory investigations were performed to confirm the diagnosis. However, the serum amylase and lipase came out within the normal reference range. So, computerized tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen was performed which showed a diffusely swollen and edematous pancreas along with peri-pancreatic stranding, and hence confirmed the diagnosis. Afterward, the patient was managed conservatively and he had an uneventful recovery. The purpose of reporting this case is to promote awareness among fellow healthcare professionals about this rare manifestation of AP and to prevent any missed diagnosis and serious complications. To conclude, cystic fibrosis may have an unusual presentation like AP without pancreatic enzyme elevation which may create a diagnostic dilemma. Hence, in such cases, a strong clinical suspicion and supportive radiological findings play a critical role in the establishment of the diagnosis.

Published: January 2022

Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement caused by muscle contractions and resulting in energy expenditure. Palliative care is a special care for patients with active, progressive, advanced disease such as cancer where the prognosis is short and the focus of care is the quality of life. The study assessed the difference in the physical functionality of cancer patients receiving palliative care along with disease-directed therapy and cancer patients receiving only disease-directed therapy in Ilorin, Kwara State Nigeria. The study was a comparative cross-sectional research design conducted among 108 cancer patients at two tertiary institutions in Ilorin, Kwara State Nigeria. Patients who received palliative care alongside cancer-directed therapy were recruited from University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital and compared with cancer patients receiving only cancer-directed therapy from General Hospital Ilorin. About two-third 62.8% of the respondents taking palliative had good physical health, while over half 54.3% of the disease-directed therapy respondents had poor physical functioning. In addition, 34.1% of patients on both therapies reported no trouble in bending, kneeling and stooping, 23.7% could climb one flight of stairs with little help and 45.8% of the respondents reported no difficulty in bathing and dressing themselves. The relationship was statistically significant at p< 0.05. The study demonstrated that addition of palliative care services significantly improves patient outcomes in the domains of physical function. It therefore recommended that palliative care intervention should be part of care for cancer patients from onset of diagnosisas this may prevent subsequent symptoms and inappropriate treatment.
Assessing the Intervention Factors of Oxidative Stress Among Elderly with Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Meramat Asheila , Rathakrishnan Ratthisswari Naidu
Published: January 2022

Oxidative stress is a known pathogenesis in the development of chronic diseases including metabolic syndrome (MetS). Hence, interventions should be taken to prevent or treat MetS. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to estimate the interventions of oxidative stress in MetS among elderly. Hindawi, Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct were the databases used for this systematic review and meta-analysis. Furthermore, heterogeneity was observed using the I-squared (I2) statistic to determine the source of heterogeneity if the I2-value was >40%. After all the screening processes, 20 studies met the eligibility criteria and were analysed. Meta-analysis found that physical activity on MetS shows reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) level (MD = -0.24, 95% CI (-0.43, -0.04), P = 0.02) and increased glutathione peroxidase (GPx) level (MD = 22.92, 95% CI (10.77, 35.08), P<0.001). On the other hand, supplement intervention on MetS increased the GPx level (MD = 805.51, 95% CI (123.23, 1487.80), P = 0.02). Dietary changes on MetS may decrease the MDA level (MD = -0.78, 95% CI (-1.02, -0.54), P<0.001) however, it also increases the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) level (MD = 0.16, 95% CI (0.88 to 0.24), P<0.001). Thus, this meta-analysis showed a positive effect of physical activity, supplementation and dietary intervention as a tool to decrease oxidative stress level in elderly with MetS.
A case study of breast siliconoma
Authors: Zuki Nurul Aini , Nasir Fairuz Mohd , AB Ghani Azizah
Published: January 2022

Background: Silicone or foreign materials injection is widely used for aesthetic breast augmentation and reconstructions in many countries. Once injected, it will stimulate a foreign body reaction between body tissues and silicone. This reaction can cause the formation of a granuloma known as siliconoma, which represent by the lumping at the breast. This symptom usually mimics breast cancer and sometimes be the origin of breast cancer. This paper is focused on the discussion on radiographic appearance of silicone and a case study of breast siliconoma. Case Study: A 66-year-old Chinese female with a family history of cancer presents with palpable painless lumps in her breasts. The lumps were present in both breasts without any mobility and other inflammatory processes. Mammographic examination demonstrated a dense bilateral mass towards the chest wall and asymmetrical rounded densities in both breasts. There are no breast cancer indications were reported. The pathology demonstrated a siliconoma.

Published: January 2022

Severe haemolytic disease of foetus and newborn (HDFN) is commonly caused by anti-D, anti-c and anti-K alloimmunisation. However, anti-c associated HDFN are infrequent because the majority of infants are relatively often c-negative. This case report describes a severe HDFN due to anti-c alloimmunisation in a multiparous Rhesus D positive mother. The baby was delivered prematurely at 32 weeks of gestation and unable to survive due to hydrops foetalis. Failure to detect anti-c alloimmunisation at the early antenatal period and unknown previous RBC alloimmunisation status were the main reasons for poorly suspicion of HDFN, which lead to improper foetal management and end up with foetal loss.  Thus, routine antenatal RBC antibody screening during the early antenatal period is recommended for every pregnant woman with a history of HDFN or at risk for alloimmunisation for early detection and management of HDFN to prevent severe related morbidity or mortality.

Published: January 2022

Maternal sepsis is one of the main contributors to maternal mortality worldwide. Malaysia has the least number of cases associated with maternal sepsis in 2015. However, the number of cases has increase by eight cases in 2017 as stated by the Family Health Development Division Ministry of Health Malaysia. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice on maternal sepsis and its associated factors among mothers in Kuantan,Pahang.  A cross sectional study design with convenience sampling were applied to 100 respondents among mothers based on specific criteria. From the findings, the majority of the mothers in Kuantan has good level of knowledge (52%), whereas the level of attitude was moderate (85%). In addition, the finding shows that the level of practice among mothers in Kuantan was excellent (76%). Maternal knowledge significantly associated with the age of the mother with p = 0.007. There was a significant correlation between knowledge and attitude    (r = 0.433, p = less than 0.001) and knowledge with practice (r = 0.236, p = 0.018). While attitude and practice (r = 0.194, p = 0.053) showed no significant correlation. This study shows that the mothers in Kuantan, Pahang had good level of knowledge, moderate attitude towards maternal sepsis and excellent practice in preventing maternal sepsis. Continues education on maternal sepsis and other risk factors of maternal mortality should be done especially to young mothers in order to control and reduce the the rates of maternal mortality. Furthermore, this can be a benchmark initiative to achieve the targets in reducing maternal mortality rate in Malaysia as outlined under sustainable development goals 3 (SDG3).

jedinci. V uplynulých letech bylo celosvětově evidováno poměrně vysoké množství případů, kdy byl fentanyl z náplasti extrahován a došlo k předávkování uživatele.
