Authors: Abdeltawab Abeer Ahmed , Baioumy Nashaat Abdelaziz 
Published: June 2020

The field of teaching Arabic to speakers of other languages suffers from insufficient educational curricula and research that address the problems and difficulties facing those learners. Therefore, the study aimed to identify the characteristics and problems of the pre-school stage in teaching Arabic as a foreign language, as well as the most important vocal skills and the principles of developing language educational programs for preschool learners. The study used the descriptive analytical approach in the collection and discussion of data, through reviewing some previous studies. Some of the findings the study reached, included: The pre-school stage is one of the most essential stages in acquiring a foreign language, therefore, teaching vocal skills to children at this stage is a vital step due to the distinctive characteristics such learners possess. The study provided a list of vocal skills appropriate for children at this stage, and a set of principles and criteria that have to be met to ensure the success of the language educational programs developed. The study recommended the development of programs and textbooks for teaching Arabic to non-Arabic speaking children based on their needs and in light of international standards.

Authors: Zulim Patricia , Perera Anjali , Stutzman Sonja , Olson Daiwai 
Published: June 2020

Background: Stroke survivors are a higher risk for post-stroke depression (PSD) after they return home from the hospital. Given that many stroke patients have friends or family members (care partners) present after hospital discharge, this pilot study examined the utility of psychiatric nurses educating family members on how to recognize PSD.
Methods: This pilot study identified stroke patients and their care partner while they were in the hospital, to provide education on depressive symptoms, community resources, safety resources (e.g., suicide hotline), how to address symptoms of depression with their care partner. A descriptive observational design was used wherein a psychiatric delivered PSD education to the patient’s care partner (instead of the patient). Knowledge of depression was assessed immediately prior to-, immediately after-, and at a 2-week follow-up after-, the education intervention.
Results: This pilot study was not powered to detect a statistically significant difference. However, among the 20 subjects (mean age 61 years), fewer scores fell in the lower range (less knowledge of depression) immediately after the education and at the 2-week follow-up phone call.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential of multi-disciplinary nursing consultation to improve outcomes.

Published: June 2020

Background: Teenagers who became pregnant face many pregnancy difficulties as they are less likely to have enough physical development to withstand a healthy pregnancy or to give birth. Thus, health literacy and the promotion of healthy behavior among pregnant mothers are of paramount importance. This study is aimed to assess the relationship between health literacy and health-promoting behaviors among the selected teen pregnant mothers in attaining maternal health.
Methods: Descriptive-correlational design was employed in this study. A total of 46 respondents participated in the study through a purposive sampling technique. The research instruments used were the Adolescent Health Promotion Scale and Comprehensive Short-form Health Literacy Survey Tool for Patients in General. Frequency, percentage, descriptive mean, and spearman Rank Correlation were used to analyze the data gathered.
Results: Results showed that teen pregnant mothers have high levels of health literacy (n=2.16) but with low levels of health-promoting behavior (n=3.45). Lastly, it was found out these variables were statistically nonsignificant (rs (47) = -0.127, p =0.393) to each other.
Conclusion: The study found out that there is no significant relationship between health literacy and health-promoting behaviors among teen pregnant mothers.

Authors: Calong Calong Kathyrine , Comendador Judalyn 
Published: June 2020

Background: Access to health care is considered a basic right and integral to human life. However, this still remains a challenge especially in developing countries where the majority of the poor reside and suffer from a disproportionate amount of disease. The study determined the six key components of health care access: approachability, availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, and accommodation, as perceived by a rural community in Taytay, Rizal, Philippines.
Methods: This descriptive-cross sectional study included a convenience sample of 62 participants. The Perceived Access to Health Care Instrument was utilized. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and univariate linear regression were used to analyze the data.
Results: The study revealed that health care access in terms of approachability was rated as good, whereas availability was rated as good, and accessibility was rated as fair. On the other hand, the affordability of health care services was rated as good, the acceptability was rated as good while the accommodation was rated as fair. It was also revealed that none of the demographic profiles significantly predicted the perceived access to health care
Conclusion: Assessment of health care access is an important measure of health care equity and despite several factors previously shown to affect health care access, the results of this study showed that the participants have good access to health care in their community
Reflections of Positive Experiences in Midwifery and Nursing of Maternal-Newborn Education in Thailand: Lessons Learned from Naresuan University
Authors: Buakhai Pantipa , Rithpho Pratuma 
Published: June 2020

The success of maternal and child health practices emphasizes on health policies, building effective partnerships, advocating for investments in maternal and newborn health, and coordinating research that focuses on improving maternal health in pregnancy and during and after childbirth. In these situations, nurses and midwives are the key resources that comprise the greater part of the health-care workforce. Nurses and midwives make substantial contributions to healthcare delivery systems especially in primary care, acute care, and community care setting. Thailand has an excellent production of nurses since they can perform duties as a nurse and as a midwife. This is what we think nurses from other countries should apply in their countries to improve health services. We can also show that our country has a low gender gap in employment not just in nursing. This paper would like to present the lessons learned from Thailand Nursing Education purposed in midwifery, maternal, and newborn nursing at Naresuan University. Specifically, the purpose of this article was to discuss the midwife and maternal and newborn education standards in Thailand and describe the experiences using reflective knowledge in order to inform current and future midwifery and maternal and newborn nursing practices in Thailand.

Authors: Khan Midrarullah , Zubair Muhammad 
Published: June 2020

Sonography is common use in early pregnancy has led to the exposure of incidental adnexal masses more often. Assessment of grayscale and color Doppler sonography outcomes is as precise when based on static images. To determine the evaluation of adnexal masses with grayscale ultrasonography and color Doppler flow imaging in first trimester of pregnancy. This Cross Sectional study was conducted at the Department of Radiology, Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. The study was conducted from July to Dec 2019. The patients were selected by nonprobability convenience sampling. All pregnant patients were undergoing abdominal ultrasonography to detect the adnexal masses. The data was collected by the questionnaire. Overall 68 individuals involved in this study out of which 29(96.7%) are benign diseases on the left side of patients and malignant are only 1(3.3%). Patients having benign diseases of right-sided are 33(86.8%) and malignant are 5(13.2%). Benign diseases are 62(91.2%) out of which 43 patients had cystic, 15 are mixed and 4 are solid components. Malignant diseases are found only 6 patients out of which 3 are mixed and 3 are solid components. Majority of the adnexal masses identified in pregnancy is benign and will resolve suddenly. Doppler sonography has severe limitations in the differentiation of benign from malignant adnexal disease on the basis of low-impedance flow.

Authors: Venkatesh Ramesh , Pereira Arpitha , Sangai Sajjan , Thomas Sherina , Yadav Naresh Kumar 
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To correlate between hyperreflective material (HRM) seen on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual outcomes in treatment-naïve acute branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Demographic and OCT features of patients with acute BRVO were analyzed retrospectively. OCT parameters noted were macular edema type, HRM presence and location, and outer retinal layer integrity. Eyes were separated into two groups: Group 1 (BRVO without HRM) and Group 2 (BRVO with HRM).

RESULTS:

Forty-seven eyes (67%) were included in Group 1 and 23 eyes (33%) were included in Group 2. Mean presenting logMAR visual acuity in Groups 1 and 2 was 0.521 ± 0.428 (mean Snellen equivalent = 20/66) and 0.627 ± 0.427 (mean Snellen equivalent = 20/85), respectively. Poor vision at final visit was noted in the BRVO with HRM group (
P
= .027). More intravitreal injections were required for macular edema resolution in the HRM group (4.83 vs. 2.67).

CONCLUSIONS:
Presence of HRM in BRVO is associated with poorer vision. It can be a useful prognostic biomarker.

Authors: McGowan Heather , Madreperla Olivia R. , Snyder Alexandra L. , Fine Howard F. 
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate disease characteristics and frequencies of genetic mutations in a cohort of patients with known or suspected retinal dystrophies.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
A cohort of 37 patients with known or suspected retinal dystrophies received genetic testing with a panel of 31 genes known to result in the development of retinal dystrophies. Disease characteristics identified during chart review were analyzed and related back to their associated genetic mutations in an attempt to link clinical features with genotypes.

RESULTS:

Eighteen of 37 patients (48.6%) tested positive for a variant(s) in one or more of the 31 genes tested. Mutations were discovered in 14 of the 31 genes, with
USH2A
being the most frequently mutated gene. Both gene-positive and gene-negative patient groups had similar disease characteristics including reduced visual acuity, legal blindness, dyschromatopsia, nyctalopia, and reduced peripheral vision.

CONCLUSIONS:
This investigation demonstrates the utility of genetic testing in a cohort of patients who carry a clinical diagnosis of retinal dystrophy. In this cohort, a significant number of patients had a genetic mutation or variant identified.

Authors: Appiotti Sébastien , Sandri Éva 
Published: June 2020

Cet article propose d’interroger la relation entre mondes numériques et musée à travers le prisme des injonctions au numérique qui lui sont adressées. Pour ce faire, une enquête de terrain a été menée dans des services de médiation, de communication et du numérique de deux institutions culturelles françaises : la RMN - Grand Palais (Paris) et le Museon Arlaten (Musée d’ethnographie provençale d’Arles). Chacune à leur échelle, les institutions étudiées donnent à voir une transformation profonde des relations qu’elles entretiennent avec le numérique. L’article étudie plus particulièrement les dynamiques de mise en forme des discours injonctifs au numérique (innovation, participation) au sein des politiques des établissements étudiés et leurs impacts sur les pratiques professionnelles.
Le design de l’expérience au musée : nouvelles perspectives de recherche
Authors: Blondeau Virginie , Meyer-Chemenska Muriel , Schmitt Daniel 
Published: June 2020

Cet article part du constat que la compréhension de l’expérience des visiteurs, entendue comme construction de sens au fur et à mesure de leur visite dans ses dimensions corporelle, cognitive et émotionnelle, pourrait s’enrichir de nouvelles méthodes d’enquêtes. La recherche met en œuvre Remind, une méthode d’entretien des visiteurs en rappel stimulé qui permet de recueillir des verbalisations très précises de l’activité cognitive et émotionnelle de ceux-ci. Appliquée à l’étude des médiations instrumentées, cette méthode permet d’identifier des séquences élémentaires récurrentes de l’expérience des visiteurs. Ces séquences conduisent à faire la proposition d’une grammaire descriptive de l’expérience des visiteurs en relation avec des médiations instrumentées et à envisager l’utilité d’un nouveau champ de recherche pour le « média exposition » : le design d’expérience.

Published: June 2020

AbstractThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic placed an extraordinary demand on health systems and healthcare providers all over the world. The pandemic presented a number of unprecedented challenging ethical issues. Across the globe, hospitals are being challenged by a large number of patients presenting to the emergency room for treatment, creating scarcities of critical care resources, and uncovering the need for formal crisis standards of care. Difficult life and death decisions, which may create severe moral distress to the physicians, have to be made in emergency rooms and intensive care units. Other ethical issues, such as that related to conducting clinical trials during the pandemic, and the increase in domestic violence during the quarantine period, will be also discussed.
Mining-Induced Displacement and Resettlement: An analytical Review
Authors: Mandishekwa Robson , Mutenheri Enard 
Published: June 2020

Generally, mining-induced displacement has been less considered in research on development-induced displacement. Specifically, economists have relegated displacement studies to other disciplines despite displacement’s economic relevance. This paper seeks to outline development-induced displacements and their linkages with economic activities and life satisfaction among the displaced in post-displacement location. To attain this, an integrated literature review was done. Findings indicate scarcity of literature on economic consequences of mining-induced displacement and its linkage with economic activities and life satisfaction. A theoretical proposition for these linkages is made. The study also reveals that mining-induced displacement is equally important in displacement studies. The study recommends that economists must put more effort in mining-induced resettlement studies given that it has the potential to resettle more people.

Hydroxychloroquine enhances anticancer effect of DOX/folate-phytosterol-carboxymethyl cellulose nanoparticles in A549 lung cancer cells
Authors: Elshazly Ezzat H. , Zhang Song , Yu Lizhen , Zhang Yue , Ke Lixia , Gong Renmin 
Published: June 2020

Purpose: To study the in vitro anticancer effect of doxorubicin-loaded folate-phytosterol-carboxymethyl cellulose nanoparticles (DOX/FPCMC NPs), alone and in combination with the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on human lung cancer cells (A549 cells).
Methods: Human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line was treated with blank FPCMC NPs, HCQ, free DOX, DOX/FPCMC NPs, free DOX + HCQ or DOX/FPCMC NPs + HCQ. The concentrations of HCQ, DOX and FPCMC NPs varied within the ranges of 20-120 μmol/L, 2-12 mg/L and 50-500 mg/L, respectively. Cell viability and free folate competitive inhibition were determined using MTT assay. Cell proliferation and migration were investigated with wound healing assay, while confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to determine cellular uptake of drugs.
Results: In all formulations, the DOX/FPCMC NPs + HCQ produced the highest cytotoxicity in A549 cells due to high cytotoxicity arising from folate-receptor-mediated endocytosis and HCQ-induced inhibition of autophagy. Free folate competitively inhibited the cytotoxicity of DOX/FPCMC NPs on A549 cells. Wound healing assay showed that A549 cells treated with DOX/FPCMC NPs + HCQ had the lowest cell levels of proliferation and migration capacity. The cellular uptake of DOX/FPCMC NPs by A549 cells was higher than that of free DOX.
Conclusion: The combination of DOX/FPCMC NPs and HCQ produced the best antitumor effect and had a promising potential for reversal of MDR

Propofol affects the biological behavior of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells via ERK1/2-MMP-2/9 signaling pathway
Authors: Yin Ruchang , Zhang Chunyan , Gen Aizhi , Li Yanxiao , Yang Hailei , Tian Xin , Chi Yasong 
Published: June 2020

Purpose: To investigate the effect of propofol on the biological behavior of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells, and the mechanism of action involved.
Methods: SKOV3 cells cultured in vitro were randomly divided into control group, fat emulsion group, low-dose propofol group (LDPG, 25 μmol/L), medium-dose propofol group (MDPG) (50 μmol/L) and high-dose propofol group (HDPG) (100 μmol/L). Apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry, while Transwell assay was used to measure the migration and invasion abilities of the cells. The protein levels of ERK1/2, MMP-2, MMP-9 were assayed with Western blotting. Moreover, the cells were transfected with siERK, and the regulatory effect of propofol on ERK1/2-MMP-2/9 signaling pathway was determined.
Results: Apoptosis in HDPG was significantly reduced, relative to MDPG, while migration and invasion were enhanced, relative to MDPG (p < 0.05). Moreover, MMP-2, ERK1/2, and MMP-9 proteins were significantly higher in MDPG and HDPG than in control, fat emulsion and LDPGs (p < 0.05), and were upregulated in HDPGs, relative to MDPG (p < 0.05). In contrast, propofol did not up-regulate these proteins in siRNA-treated cells.
Conclusion: Propofol enhances the migration, proliferation, and invasive ability SKOV3 cells, and upregulates the expressions of MMP-2, ERK1/2, and MMP-9 in these cells, via a mechanism related to the activation of ERK1/2-MMP-2/9 signaling route. These properties provide novel leads for the development of new drugs for ovarian cancer
