Abstract

Background
A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) has been proposed to assess prognosis and to adapt oncological care in older patients with cancer. However, few biological markers are incorporated in the CGA.

Methods
This comparative study on older patients with cancer was realized before final therapeutic decision and during a CGA that included biological markers. Our objective study was to know if the serum vitamin B12–C-reactive protein index (BCI) can help to estimate early death and unplanned hospitalization. Associations between BCI and unplanned hospitalization or mortality were analyzed using ordered multivariate logistic regression.

Findings
We included 621 older cancer adults in outpatient care with a median age of 81 years (range, 70–98 years) from September 2015 to May 2018. In this study, 5.6% of patients died within 3 months, 8.8% had unplanned hospitalization within 1 month, and 11.4% had unplanned hospitalization within 3 months. Hypercobalaminemia was present in 83 patients (13.4%), and 34 patients (5.5%) had BCI &gt;40,000. According to the multivariate analysis, BCI was a prognostic factor of mortality within 3 months and unplanned hospitalizations at 1 and 3 months. Impaired activities of daily living (ADL) and palliative care were also risk factors for mortality within 3 months. Impaired instrumental ADL, low albumin level, and palliative care were risk factors for unplanned hospitalization at 1 month.

Interpretation
BCI could be routinely added to the CGA process, as part of a pretreatment workup, in order to assess more precisely the frailties and to adapt oncological care in older patients treated for cancer.

Implications for Practice
Aging comes with an increase of frailties and comorbidities. To identify frailties in older patients with cancer, this study used a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, which allowed for the adaptation of each treatment plan in accordance with the individual needs of the patients. However, biological characteristics were not included in this assessment. This study showed that hypercobalaminemia and vitamin B12 -C-reactive protein index may be potential markers for cancer with poor prognosis, particularly in the older population. These biological markers can be used in geriatric oncology and general medicine.

Abstract
The oncology community is concerned that patients with cancer will be unfairly classified in pandemic allocation guidance. Past guidance either excluded patients with metastatic cancer from consideration or categorized them as having a survival of less than 1 year. Given recent improvements in treatments, we recommend that the prognosis of an individual patient with cancer be determined with input from a cancer specialist or, if this is impractical, that the presence of active metastatic solid cancer or relapsed hematologic malignancy is graded as a major comorbidity, with a likelihood that survival will be less than 5 years; severe limitation in physical functioning (3 or 4 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status) would define a patient with advanced cancer as having a severe comorbidity, with a likelihood of less than 1 year of survival. Cancer may be the “Emperor of all Maladies,” but it is no longer a certain death sentence.
Burden and Gender inequalities around Informal Care
Authors: Cascella Carbó Giuliana F. , García-Orellán Rosa 
Published: August 2020

This work comes from the interest and need to understand the problems arising from the activity of caring for dependent people, in the world and particularly in the European region. Altogether, it seeks to understand the consequences of informal care on the caregiver adding to the debate a gender perspective. Through a multidisciplinary bibliographic review, the current care crisis becomes clear. The demographic and socio-cultural changes in recent years are causing dependency to increase dramatically, while putting at risk the availability of informal caregivers. Several studies have shown that women are the ones on whom the burden of care mainly falls. Therefore, under the gender perspective, it becomes clear that the consequences of caregiver burden increase gender inequalities worldwide. The study analyzes the current situation and underlines the need to promote alternatives and opportunities so that care is shared and does not fall only on the female gender. Solutions need to be included in public and community health interventions and policies, and to this respect, nurses play an important role in changing the care paradigm.How to cite this article: Cascella GF, García-Orellán R.

Published: August 2020

Objective. To assess burnout level during an outbreak ofCOVID-19 and to identify influencing factors between frontlinenurses and nurses from other wards.
Methods. This crosssectional study makes comparison between two groups of nursesincluding frontline (exposure group) and other nurses working inusual wards (non-exposure group) in Torbat Heydariyeh city, Iran.Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), Job stress questionnaire(JSQ), and questionnaires of hospital resources, family support,and measuring the fear of COVID-19 were used as researchinstruments.
Results. The scores of job stress and burnout inthe exposure group with COVID-19 infection were significantlyhigher than in the non-exposure group (p=0.006 and p=0.002,respectively). Although, in univariate linear regression, employmentstatus (p=0.047), experience in taking care of patient confirmed or suspected with COVID-19 infection (p=0.006), hospital resources (p=0.047), and job stress(p<0.001) were considered as significant risk factors for COVID-19-related burnout. In multivariateregression analysis, job stress (p=0.031, β=0.308) was considered as an only factor that hasa significant relationship with COVID-19-related burnout.
Conclusion. The burnout level infrontline nurses was higher than other nurses, the most important influencing factor was the jobstress. Regarding to negative effects of burnout on both physical and mental health nurses, it issuggested that a strong strategy be considered to reduce nurses’ burnout to be able to controlongoing and future outbreaks successfully.

Objective. This work sought to describe the meaningof receiving artificial nutritional support in people in thepostoperative period of abdominal surgery.
Methods.This was a qualitative study of grounded theory, followingthe guidelines by Corbin and Strauss. The informationwas collected through 26 in-depth interviews with 21participants, interned in a tier III health care hospital inthe city of Tunja, Colombia.
Results. The study describesfour categories, which account for the way in which theperson experiences physical, physiological, emotional,and social changes when receiving artificial nutritionalsupport. The categories include stopping eating andbecoming artificially fed, decreasing the ability to moveto recover movement, experiencing the difficulty of having artificial nutritional support, and reaching the disease to transform life. The dataanalysis shows that the basic surgical pathology and the artificial nutritional supportare sudden events that fragment the daily life of the person. These individualsdemand the mobilization of religious, family, and social resources to strengthen theperson’s internal and external environment and, thus, achieve the health situation.
Conclusions. The analysis of the meanings shows how the person reflects andinterprets the reality of receiving artificial nutritional support, an event that hasimplicit physical discomfort, emotional changes, and physical appearance, whichare determinants in the behavior and practice of artificial nutrition. However,artificial nutritional support becomes for the person an alternative to live and recoverthe state of health.

This article is an attempt to answer the question: how one selects a neighbourhood to develop an innovation district, using the case of Cracow. This article mainly refers to the issue of the shape of innovation districts, showing how much the morphology of such spaces and their functions can promote or limit the development of innovative enterprises from the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) industry. It also refers to our research carried out with quantitative and qualitative methods in Poland, using two locations in Cracow as a case study. In this paper, we focus on the significant restrictions which hinder the emergence and development of such districts. We also indicate the potential solutions to these difficulties such as the temporary spaces of events we mapped and which we called ‘totemic spaces’.

<p>The aim of the study was to evaluate the growth performance of three indigenous tree species planted under open area planting technique of burned area at Klias Peat Swamp Forest, Beaufort, Sabah. Three indigenous tree species was used in this study, namely are <em>Cratoxylum arborescens</em> (Vahl) Blume (Geronggang), <em>Alstonia spathulata</em> Blume (Pulai), and <em>Stemonurus scorpioides</em> Becc. (Katok). A total of 45 seedlings for each species were examined using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with spacing of 3mx3m. Data collection for height, diameter, and survivality was recorded every two weeks within 10 weeks period from the seedlings was planted. Results from this study showed, the growth performance of Geronggang species was much better than the Pulai species, while all the Katok seedlings were died after week 6 in this experiment. The Geronggang species had the average mean height increment of 24.17 cm and average mean diameter increment of 2.76 mm, while Pulai species had average mean height increment of 9.36 cm and average mean diameter increment with 1.86 mm. For the survivality results, it showed that the Geronggang species had the highest survivality rate at 93.33% and Pulai species with 86.67%. There was a significant difference in term of relative height growth rate between Geronggang and Pulai species. However, there was no significant difference in term of relative diameter growth rate at significant level of P ≤ 0.05. The findings indicates that Geronggang and Pulai are suitable to be planted at burned area in Klias peat swamp forest for the purpose of reforestation using open area planting technique, while the Katok species is not suitable due to environment consideration. The better growth performance of the Geronggang and Pulai species are because they can easily adapted with the open area planting at the study site.</p>

Published: August 2020

<p>Farmers in tidal swamplands annually added organic matter (OM) onto the raised beds to maintain organic matter contents and thereby maintain soil productivity of the raised beds. This experiment aimed to study the influence of the types and the amounts of OM on the stabilization of organic matter in the raised-bed soils. Four types of OM: rice straw, eceng gondok (<em>Eichornia crassipes</em>), purun tikus (<em>Eleocharis dulcis</em>) and mixed rice straw-eceng gondok were added to a 27-year raised bed soil with 4 different rates: 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 of maximum sorption capacity (Q<sub>max</sub>), and the OM stabilization was quantified after 10 weeks of OM addition. Results of this study showed with the exception of rice straw, OM addition to soil resulted in increases in the mineralization of soil OM thereby inducing priming effect. Addition of rice straw at rate of 0.5 of Q<sub>max</sub> resulted in stabilization of 46% added OM, while only 30% and 37% of added OM was stabilized when OM was added to soils at rates of 1.0 and 2.0 Q<sub>max</sub>, respectively. This study showed that the stabilization of OM in raised bed soils were influenced by the chemical composition of OM and the amount of added OM.</p>

Abstract
Background: Previous evidence indicates significant associations between depressive disorders and alcohol use disorder (AUD) and their strong links with social conditions. This study aims to investigate the association between major depressive episode (MDE) and AUD across various socio-economic groups.Methods: We analysed data from the 2014 Thai National Health Examination Survey containing a random sample of 13,177 adults aged >20 years from the general population. The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test was used to classify respondents into non-problem drinking (score 0-7), hazardous drinking (score 8-15), and harmful-dependent drinking (score 16-40). MDE was identified using questions based on the DSM-IV. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using multinomial logistic regression to determine the strength of associations between MDE as a predictor and AUD as an outcome variable across different socio-economic levels.Results: The prevalence of MDE, hazardous, and harmful-dependent drinking was 2.5%, 10.3%, and 1.9%, respectively. The association between MDE and AUD was modified by wealth index, education level and area of residence. AORs for the association between MDE and harmful-dependent drinking were high among those in the highest (AOR=8.68, 95% CI: 5.34, 14.11) and lowest (AOR=7.14, 95% CI: 3.71, 13.73) levels of wealth index but not significant among those in the middle level (AOR=1.78, 95% CI: 0.74, 4.25). Education had the strongest effect on the relationship between MDE and harmful-dependent drinking (AOR=16.0, 95% CI: 10.30, 24.90 among those completing secondary school or higher and AOR=1.44, 95% CI: 0.63, 3.33 among those completing primary school only). The association between MDE and harmful-dependent drinking was higher among people who lived in urban areas (AOR=8.50, 95% CI: 5.50, 13.13) compared to those living in rural areas (AOR=4.73, 95% CI: 3.31, 6.77).Conclusion: Socio-economic factors modify the association between alcohol use disorder and major depressive disorder among Thai people.
