Authors: Olusola-Bello MA , Olatunji AA , Ajayi OI , Adekoya AO
Published: May 2021

Background: Gallbladder (GB) cancer is a rare malignancy with a variable incidence worldwide. Imaging detection at an early stage is elusive. Preoperative imaging for tumour recognition and non-invasive staging is essential to triage patients to appropriate care.

Objectives: To describe the CT imaging findings of GB cancer among Nigerians.

Methods: A retrospective review of the CT images of 15 patients who had gall bladder carcinoma between January 2015 and June 2017 at a private diagnostic facility in Lagos was done.

Results: The age of the patients ranged from 39 to 73 years with a mean age of 60.9 years. The male to female ratio was 1:4.3. Clinical presentations included abdominal pain (61.5%) and jaundice (38.5%). Irregular GB wall thickening (61.5%) and focal mass lesions in the GB (38.5%) were the main features on imaging while 38.5% had associated gall stones. Infiltration of the adjacent liver was found in 76.9% and 60 % of those who had local infiltration of the liver also had intrahepatic metastasis.

Conclusion: A majority of gall bladder cancer cases are still diagnosed in their late stages. CT scan readily delineates regional spread into adjacent organs which may be obscured in other imaging modalities due to adjacent bowel gas.

Published: May 2021

Background: Studies have shown that serum levels of Anti-Mullerian Hormones (AMH) decrease with age as it is also an early and sensitive marker of ovarian reserve in women in the North American, European and Asian regions. Various research works have also generated data about AMH in the Caucasian, Americans and Asians There was a need to compare these known data with African data.

Objectives: To assess the serum levels of AMH in healthy women of reproductive age and determine the relationship between AMH, age, Body Mass Index, parity and menstrual cycle in healthy regularly menstruating women.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of 200 apparently healthy women aged 21-45 years was carried out between January and May 2014. Serum AMH and FSH levels were measured in the participants using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay.

Results: The median AMH value was 4.07ng/mL, while the median FSH value was 9.65mIU/mL. The reference 90% CI of AMH was 0.60 -9.71 ng/ml. There was a significant negative correlation between serum level of AMH and age (r = - 0.718, p<0.001).

Conclusion: The serum AMH levels gradually declined throughout the reproductive lifespan of a woman.

Authors: Olajide OO , Adebayo PB , Taiwo FT , Owolabi MO , Ogunniyi A
Published: May 2021

Background: The assessment of time-trend morbidity and mortality in acute stroke is critical to clinical policy decisions and resource allocation.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of dysphagia in acute stroke and the impact of dysphagia on short term stroke outcome (30 days post-stroke).

Methods: This was a prospective longitudinal study. Bedside screening for dysphagia modified Rankin score (MRS) and Barthel Index (BI) were performed on acute stroke patients on day 1, day 7, day 14 and day 30 after stroke to determine the frequency of dysphagia. Patients with dysphagia were then compared with age- and gender-matched controls (stroke patients without dysphagia) in terms of stroke characteristics and 30-day outcome.

Results: Of the recruited 200 patients, 99 (49.5%) had dysphagia. Patients with intracerebral haemorrhagic stroke had a significantly higher prevalence of dysphagia (64% vs 36%; p<0.001). At baseline, dysphagic patients had more severe (Mean NHISS score, 22.81 Vs 8.92; p=0.01) and subcortical strokes (57.1% vs 42.9%, p = 0.015). At 30 days after stroke, the mean MRS was significantly higher in the dysphagic stroke patients (3.8±1.02) compared to those without dysphagia (2.5±1.3), (p = 0.001)]. Case fatality was higher among the dysphagic (79.8% vs 15.84%; p = 0.001) and the mean survival time was lower (12.21 days) among the dysphagic group (p = 0.001)

Conclusion: Severe stroke, subcortical stroke and haemorrhagic stroke types were significantly associated with dysphagia at baseline. Dysphagia adversely influenced 30-days morbidity and case fatality in this cohort of acute stroke patients.

Authors: Sogebi OA , Oyewole EA
Published: May 2021

Background: Recurrence of vertigo indicates a morbidity to the patient and a dilemma for the managing physician.

Objectives: To describe the characteristics of vertigo, document prevalence and explore the characteristics which could independently predict recurrence of vertigo.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of patients managed for vertigo in a tertiary facility was retrospectively done. Patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics, associations of vertigo, audiological symptoms, comorbid illnesses, and duration to achieve control of vertigo were recorded. Recurrence of vertigo was used to categorize the patients. The factors that were associated with recurrence on univariate analyses were evaluated as independent predictors of recurrence of vertigo.

Results: The 73 patients with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.4 were aged 35 -78 (mean 56.6±9.9) years. The associated symptoms included body weakness (34.2%), audiological symptoms (38.4%), 27.4% had antecedent head and neck injury and vertigo was precipitated or aggravated by changes in the head and neck position in 63.0% Vertigo was controlled within 1 -7 (Median 2) days, 35.6% had a recurrence of vertigo. Age, the experience of nausea and vomiting, previous head and neck injury, presence of comorbidity, and long duration to achieve control of vertigo were significantly associated with recurrence of vertigo. All these factors except the presence of comorbidity could independently predict the recurrence of vertigo.

Conclusion: Vertigo is common in adult females, and mostly positional in type. About a third of patients may have a recurrence of vertigo. Age, especially above 57 years, nausea and vomiting, head and neck injury and prolonged period to control vertigo may independently predict recurrence of vertigo.

Authors: Budnik Svetlana Vasilievna
Published: May 2021

In article the expediency of application of methods of protection soils from erosion and in general principles of the antierosion organization of territory of land tenure for adaptation of territories to changes of a climate is considered. The expediency of updating of these methods in connection with new results of supervision for runoff on slopes and the new purposes of their application is shown. In particular, it is shown, that antierosion constructions need to be placed above a place of concentration of a runoff, instead of on it as the probability of destruction of a construction in this place is great. Application the soil-water-security systems of agriculture provides regulation of a microclimate of territory (reduction of warming up of a surface), allows to lower peak of a high water from downpours, translating a part of a superficial runoff in intrasoil and underground and to these to prevent losses from them including loss of a fertile layer of soils, saturation by a moisture of a zone of aeration favorably influences development of forest vegetation and agricultural crops.

Published: May 2021

Hepatitis B infection is a major global health problem. Sub–saharan Africa is particularly affected. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HBs antigen (HBs Ag) and to assess the hepatitis B vaccine status among medical and paramedical staff at Dschang District Hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Dschang District Hospital from November 2018 to June 2019. All medical and paramedical staff of the Dschang District Hospital were included, regardless of sex or age, vaccinated and unvaccinated. We assessed the level of knowledge of hepatitis B, investigated hepatitis B markers like HBs antigen (HBs Ag), HBc antibody (HBc Ab), HBs antibody (HBs Ab); we performed HBs Ab assay, investigated hepatitis B risk factors, and low hepatitis B immunization factors, among an average of 171 health personnel aged 36.48 ± 9.58. Of these, 94.7 % said they knew hepatitis B. The prevalence of hepatitis B was 7%. Nursing and paramedical professions were the main concerned by the HBs Ag positivity. The risk factors found in HBs Ag carriers were unprotected sex, scarification and blood exposure accident. There was an association between HBs antigen portage and unprotected sex (P=0.021), blood exposure accident (P=0.021) and piercing (P=0.004). However, there was no association between HBs Ag carrying and age group (P=0.779), sex (P=0.248) and marital status (P=0.779). On the basis of the statements, without a certificate, 57% of the staff said they had already been vaccinated against hepatitis B; of these, 89% had received at least 3 doses of vaccine, of which 53.3% had acquired immunity from HBV. Advanced age (over 40 years) and overweight were associated with a low response to hepatitis B vaccine. In addition, sex and smoking were not associated with low hepatitis B seroprotection. In conclusion, this study found that the prevalence of HBs Ag is still high in our context and low hepatitis B seroprotection in the study population. Hence the need for awareness-raising, systematic screening and vaccination of health personnel, training of vaccinators and monitoring of the vaccination chain.

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Bombax costatum Pellegr. et Vuillet. (Bombacaceaea) is a plant used in traditional medicine in Cameroon to treat memory impairment, anxiety, insomnia and agitation. Aim of the study: The aqueous extract of Bombax costatum is evaluated for its anxiolytic like effect in mice using experimental models. Materials and methods: The plant extract is administered orally to mice. They were tested one hour later in the stress-induced hyperthermia, hole board, and open field or elevated plus maze tests, respectively. Finally, the brain Gamma aminobutyric acid [GABA] content and GABA-T were quantified in Bombax costatum aqueous extract-treated mice at the end of elevated plus maze test. Results: Bombax costatum aqueous extract showed anxiolytic activity. In stress-induced hyperthermia test, the plant extract significantly antagonised the increase of temperature. There is a significant reduction in the stress-induced hyperthermia from 1.13 ± 0.06℃ in the negative control group treated with distilled water to 0.26 ± 0.02℃ in the group of mice administered 100 mg/kg aqueous extract. In addition, Bombax costatum showed antipyretic activity by reducing the body temperature. In the elevated plus maze test, the aqueous extract increased the number of entries into, percentage of entries into, and percentage of time in open arms. It also reduced the percentage of entries and time in closed arms. Conclusion: The obtained results suggested that Bombax costatum aqueous extracts possess anxiolytic-like and antipyretic activities in mice. This plant could be helpful in the treatment of anxiety and fever in traditional medicine in Cameroon.

Published: May 2021

Employment opportunities in special education and rehabilitation centers are provided for child developers and preschool teachers after graduation. However, due to undergraduate programs not being as broad as those for graduates in the field of special education, educators in this branch may encounter certain problems and put up with some difficulties, especially when first starting their profession. Educators’ self-efficacy beliefs are among the factors thought to have an effect on these difficulties being experienced. Educators’ self-efficacy beliefs have been determined to affect the professional difficulties they experience. On the other hand, the level of satisfaction educators get from their experiences also affects the difficulties they experience. Educators with high life satisfaction are seen to encounter few difficulties. This study aims to test the effect of the self-efficacy beliefs and life satisfaction of child developers and preschool teachers working in special education and rehabilitation centers on the difficulties they encounter in their professional lives. The sample of the research consists of 200 educators (132 child developers and 68 preschool teachers) between the ages of 21 and 52. A personal information form as well as the Teacher Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Tool for Determining Difficulties Special Education Teachers Experience have been used as data collection tools for being able to obtain detailed information related to the teachers participating in the study. The study analyzes the obtained data using the package program SPSS 24.00. The independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation analysis have been used in analyzing the data. Relationships have been found for life satisfaction with difficulties experienced and self-efficacy beliefs as well as between difficulties experienced in special education and self-efficacy beliefs. The obtained findings have been discussed within the scope of the literature, and some suggestions have been made as a result.

Published: May 2021

Monoclonal antibodies (mAT) to calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) have become the fi rst class of preventive medications specifically designed to treat migraines. The article examines the mechanism of action of mAT from the standpoint of a modern view of the pathophysiology of migraine, discusses the issues of immunogenicity and drug interaction. The review describes in detail the monoclonal antibody erenumab, which became available in Russia from February 2020. The action of erenumab is associated with blocking the CGRP receptor, since it is the only one of the existing mAT that competes with the CGRP molecule for binding to the receptor. This review summarizes the pharmacological characteristics of erenumab, presents in detail the results of clinical trials with an emphasis on the publications of the last year. The article also presents the role of this method of treatment in real clinical practice: the eff ectiveness and safety of erenumab in various forms of migraine are described in detail, the possibility of transition (“reverse transformation”) from chronic migraine to episodic form on erenumab therapy is shown, impressive results of treatment of intractable cases in resistant and refractory migraines are presented. Erenumab is the only one of the mAT drugs for which the results of five-year clinical observations have been published, which have proved the sustained effectiveness and safety in long-term use, as well as the economic feasibility of using this therapeutic approach.

Published: May 2021

Normotensive hydrocephalus (NTH) is a syndrome characterized by enlarged ventricles of the brain, gait disturbance, cognitive impairment, and incontinence. In the elderly with gait disturbances of unspecified etiology, NTH should always be excluded. It is especially difficult to diagnose NTH in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, primarily with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD), and vice versa, to diagnose PD in patients with NTH. We report on an 80-year-old patient with a five-year history of NTH, manifested by the classic clinical triad of symptoms and the subsequent development of Parkinson’s syndrome 3 years after the debut of NTH. MRI of his brain revealed ventriculomegaly and transcranial sonography did hyperechogenicity of the substantia nigra on the left, with an area of 0.41 cm2, which made it possible to diagnose two comorbid diseases in the patient, namely, normotensive hydrocephalus and Parkinson’s disease.
Public support for ‘soft’ versus ‘hard’ public policies: Review of the evidence
Authors: Banerjee Sanchayan , Savani Manu , Shreedhar Ganga
Published: May 2021

This article reviews the literature on public support for ‘soft’ versus ‘hard’ policy instruments for behaviour change, and the factors that drive such preferences. Soft policies typically include ‘moral suasion’ and educational campaigns, and more recently behavioural public policy approaches like nudges. Hard policy instruments, such as laws and taxes, restrict choices and alter financial incentives. In contrast to the public support evidenced for hard policy instruments during COVID-19, prior academic literature pointed to support for softer policy instruments. We investigate and synthesise the evidence on when people prefer one type of policy instrument over another. Drawing on multi-disciplinary evidence, we identify perceived effectiveness, trust, personal experience and self-interest as important determinants of policy instrument preferences, along with broader factors including the choice and country context. We further identify various gaps in our understanding that informs and organise a future research agenda around three themes. Specifically, we propose new directions for research on what drives public support for hard versus soft behavioural public policies, highlighting the value of investigating the role of individual versus contextual factors (especially the role of behavioural biases); how preferences evolve over time; and whether and how preferences spillovers across different policy domains.

Authors: Rohmah Zuliati , Suwandi Alda Fitriani
Published: May 2021

The present research aims to investigate the types and functions of interruptions of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during the US presidential debates in 2016. Data collected from Donald Trump's and Hillary Clinton's speech in the debates were transcribed and analyzed to find types and functions of interruptions by both of the candidates. The results of the Conversational Analysis display that Donald Trump dominates the interruptions by applying a substantially greater number of interruptions consisting three different types of interruptions. Butting-in Interruptions were applied by both as the biggest number of interruptions. Data analysis also demonstrates that intrusive functions appear much more frequently compared to the collaborative functions of interruptions applied by the male and female presidential candidates. Discussion as to why such phenomena are noticeable in the data concludes the paper.

Published: May 2021

Speaking using foreign language in front of other people can be one of the most anxiety-provoking situations. Learners who does not enjoy interacting with other people or being the center of attention may exhibit extreme anxiety when they are asked to take parts in oral presentation, discussion, or any other kind of language activities. A study found that online discussion may decrease the effect. It provides a non-threatening situation for learners who are shy and withdrawn. This survey study aims to see whether it is also applied in Indonesian tertiary education by investigating and comparing the learners' level of anxiety in face to face speaking class before Covid-19 pandemic and online speaking class during the pandemic. 120 students who experienced both speaking courses before and during the pandemic participated in the survey.  Consistent with the result of other studies, this study found that in average, learners feel less anxious during during online speaking class (48,41%) compare to face-to-face class (60,96%).

Published: May 2021

This narrative study explores identity construction and classroom participation of an Indonesian student who attended a master program in TESOL in an Australian university. Grounded from identity and investment frameworks (Norton, 2000) and situated learning theory (Lave & Wenger, 1991), the study specifically probes into the changing identity construction across time shaped by the participant’s involvement in the community of practice. Data analysis followed Polkinghorne’s (1995) categorical procedure and Connelly and Clandinin’s (2006) three-dimensional space of narrative inquiry. The findings portray gradual and complex identity construction mediated by the participant’s agentive classroom participation. It was also found that the participant’s identity evolved across time together with a movement from peripheral to full participation. This study informs that L2 learning is dependent on social, emotional, cultural, and situated practices depicted in L2 learner’s classroom participation. It also highlights the need for incorporating narrative inquiry to understand multiple, subjective, and conflicting values in L2 learning and other educational contexts.

Published: May 2021

Silariang (kawin lari) adalah hal yang sangat memalukan dalam budaya Bugis Makassar sehingga seringkali dibayar  dengan nyawa orang yang melakukannya, baik perempuan maupun laki-laki. Silariang merupakan masalah sosial yang rawan konflik dan bentrokan antar keluarga yang kemudian berujung pada kematian. Meskipun Silariang merupakan kesepakatan bersama pacar, namun keluarga perempuanlah yang mengalami penderitaan diri (aib keluarga), sedangkan laki-laki yang dianggap sebagai penyebab aib keluarga perempuan disebut tomannyala.

Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam terhadap informan kunci sebanyak tiga pasangan suami istri yang pernah menikah dengan cara yang sama. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah apa alasan dibalik melakukan silariang dan bagaimana penyelesaiannya.

Hasil yang didapatkan dari wawancara mendalam terhadap ketiga keluarga yang melakukan silariang  adalah  alasan perilaku mereka yang bervariasi antara lain, pertama, karena faktor ekonomi dimana pihak laki-laki tidak mampu menyediakan mahar yang dibutuhkan oleh keluarga perempuan dan alasan lainnya adalah karena salah satu pihak harus menikah berdasarkan urutan keluarga perempuan, dan  cara yang dapat diterima mereka yang dikenal dengan istilah abaji ', yaitu menikah ulang dengan menyiapkan pannai (mahar) tetapi lebih kecil, dan membayar denda (pappasala) 20 riyal sebagai syarat mutlak.

Upper limb spasticity (ULS) is a common pathophysiological changes manifest by a structural damage towards the central nervous system (CNS) that includes brain and spinal cord. The current clinical practice of spasticity assessment utilizes Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) as a subjective tool to measure the severity of spasticity. Lack of objective value, poor sensitivity in detecting minimal changes, and dependency to the interpretation by the assessing clinicians are the several reasons of the inter and intra-rater variability of the measurement using MAS. These limit the use of MAS in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring spasticity especially in inexperienced clinicians, hence leading to inadequate spasticity management. To overcome this problem, a study is carried out to quantify and develop a data-driven model of ULS detection based on MAS. The characteristics that detect the existence of ULS according to MAS are identified and adopted to train the machine learning models for smart diagnosis purpose to assist the physicians to effectively manage spasticity.

School sites selection is an essential process which needs information on various fields. The process includes scientific justification, judgment and a finding of suitable land, which consider financial, social, ecological and political perspectives, that limit conflicts and supports agreement among the decision makers. A set of school suitability map would be very useful for education planners when making a complex decision within a short period of time. This study will utilize both spatial and non-spatial parameters to establish a systematic site selection process for primary schools in Melaka Tengah District. It was carried out by using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). Three analysis namely demographic, safety and constrain analysis were used to identify the potential sites. Then accessibility analysis, using expertise and public opinion were used to further analyze the potential site. The resulted map showed 54.% of the total area is highly not suitable, leaving 46% suitable for school sitting. The final safety model output was compared with field verification data from State Education Department (JPN Melaka) and Malacca Historical City Council (MBMBB).

This study sought to evaluate the setting time and strength property of concrete when pulverized water hyacinth serves as an admixture by weight. The materials used in this study included water hyacinth plants, cement, coarse and fine aggregates. Dried water hyacinth was pulverized and added to the concrete with two different percentages in each mixture. A standard mixture without water hyacinth was also created for comparison with the concrete cylinders with mixture that has pulverized water hyacinth. The first concrete cylinder contains 0.5% of pulverized water hyacinth by weight and the second concrete cylinder contains 1% of pulverized water hyacinth by weight. The curing was done for 28 days, and the properties of the concrete cylinders, namely setting time and strength, were recorded. It was revealed in the setting time test that the concrete with 0.5% pulverized water hyacinth may serve as accelerator for concrete while the concrete cylinder with 1% pulverized water hyacinth by weight can be a retarder. Moreover, the concrete cylinders with 0.5% pulverized water hyacinth and 1% pulverized water hyacinth have a 2.39% and 3.83% increase in compressive strength, respectively compared to the concrete cylinder without pulverized water hyacinth.

RESUMO

Objetivos: identificar os principais diagnósticos de enfermagem atribuídos ao binômio mãe recém-nascido na amamentação diante do contexto do covid19 e elaborar o plano de cuidados de enfermagem. Metodologia: trata-se de um ensaio teórico fundamento em uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa. Resultados: planos de Cuidados de Enfermagem baseado nos diagnósticos de prevenção/recuperação, sendo eles: amamentação ineficaz; amamentação interrompida e conhecimento deficiente, bem como nos diagnósticos de promoção: como Disposição para amamentação melhorada e Disposição para conhecimento melhorado. Conclusões: o aparecimento do covid-19 exige dos profissionais mais conhecimentos e domínio de elementos essenciais a sua prática, como a sistematização da assistência de enfermagem. Considerando a constante necessidade de capacitação dos recursos humanos nos serviços de saúde, evidencia-se que investir na educação continuada e na implementação da SAE pode ser uma ferramenta essencial para uma assistência de enfermagem de qualidade no contexto da pandemia da covid-19.

Objetivo: analisar as evidências científicas sobre o acolhimento realizado pela equipe de saúde aos familiares de neonato internado em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN). Metodologia: realizou-se uma revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF e literatura cinzenta, de artigos publicados entre os anos 2010 a 2020, nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português  que abordassem a temática do estudo. Resultados: Da análise dos nove artigos selecionados estabeleceu-se três categorias para discussão: os benefícios do acolhimento à família na UTIN; entraves para a efetivação do acolhimento; e a empatia norteando o acolhimento. Verificou-se que o acolhimento realizado pela equipe de saúde gera benefícios à família, como o alívio de medos e ansiedades, manutenção dos laços afetivos do familiar com neonato, participação nos cuidados e na tomada de decisão. Além disso, faz com que o ambiente da terapia intensiva se torne menos hostil e ameaçador. A comunicação adequada permite que o familiar se aproxime da equipe e expresse suas angustias, ações empáticas e acolhedoras dos profissionais de saúde tornam o período de internação para a família menos doloroso. Porém, normas e rotinas da unidade, sobrecarga de trabalho dos profissionais, além do foco da equipe exclusivo no neonato, fazem com que o acolhimento à família não se efetive de forma adequada.  Conclusão: O acolhimento realizado pelos profissionais de saúde a famílias nas UTIN se revelou um fator benéfico para redução de sentimentos negativos relacionados à internação do neonato.

Palavras Chave: Família; Acolhimento; Unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal.

Identificar os fatores de risco para a depressão em idosos. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada no mês de dezembro de 2020, por meio do Portal de Periódicos da CAPES e da base de dados MEDLINE, via plataforma PUBMED e BVS. Os critérios de inclusão foram artigos publicados entre 2015 a 2020, completos e disponíveis na íntegra, nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Por conseguinte, teses, dissertações, estudos de caso, capítulos de livros e artigos duplicados foram excluídos deste estudo. A amostra final foi composta por 11 artigos. Constataram-se que os fatores de riscos para a depressão em idosos podem ser agrupados em 5 dimensões: fatores de riscos sócio demográficos; capacidade funcional prejudicada; suporte social e eventos de vida estressores; condições de saúde e nível de prática de atividade física e de lazer. Esses fatores incluíram baixo nível de escolaridade, estado civil divorciado, solteiro ou viúvo, presença de mais de uma patologia crônica, ausência de atividades sociais, de lazer e de práticas de atividades físicas. O conhecimento acerca dos fatores de risco pode auxiliar na prevenção do desenvolvimento da depressão nesta população. Destaca-se, portanto, a importância de buscar compreender e investigar os fatores que influenciam esse transtorno, a fim de direcionar ações de saúde para a promoção da qualidade de vida dos idosos.
