Authors: Lone Falak Rashid , Singh Manmeet 
Published: December 2024

Background: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a common yet underdiagnosed mental health problem among women of reproductive age group with a significant potential to perturb social, academic, occupational, and interpersonal milieu of suffering women. The aim of this study is to see the Prevalence of PMDD in Nursing Students. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among the nursing students of the Acharya Shri Chander College of Medical Sciences Nursing School, Jammu and they were screened for the presence of PMDD using the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool. Results: Prevalence of moderate to severe Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) was 28.1% and PMDD was 6.1%. The commonest premenstrual symptom among the cases was fatigue or lack of energy. In the moderate to severe PMS category, it was anger, and in the PMDD category, it was anxiety. Impairment of college efficiency, or productivity was in 81.3% and 100.0% of students having moderate to severe PMS and PMDD, respectively. Conclusion: PMS and PMDD were prevalent among a substantial proportion of nursing students with significant negative influence on academic performance, emotional well-being and behavior. Strategies should be adopted in college health programs for the timely recognition and management of PMS and PMDD in nursing students.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Background
• Q fever, known as coxiellosis in animals, represents a global zoonotic threat caused by the intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii). The disease affects many animal species, including those considered significant reservoirs, such as cattle, sheep and goats. Transmission of the pathogen to other domestic animals, including companion animals, and then to humans has also been observed, highlighting the importance of understanding the epidemiology and prevalence of C. burnetii among companion animals. The present study aimed to determine the frequency of seroreagents for C. burnetii within pet dogs, cats and rabbits from urban Poland areas and identify possible risk factors for these animals.

Results
• In total, serum samples from 491 dogs, 427 cats and 93 rabbits were used in the study. The seroprevalence of anti-C. burnetii antibodies in dogs and cats reached 0.61% (3/491; 95% CI: 0.21–1.78) and 0.23% (1/427; 95% CI: 0.04–1.31), respectively. No significant differences in seroprevalence across species and different subpopulations (age group, gender, exhibited symptoms, or sampling location) were found. All 93 samples from rabbits were negative for anti-C.burnetii antibodies.

Conclusions
• The seroprevalence rates of C. burnetii in dogs and cats were low; however, our results confirm that pet dogs and cats in Poland can be exposed to C. burnetii and may exhibit serological reactions. It has been reported that people who come into contact with secretions and excretions from the reproductive systems of dogs and cats (such as breeders, veterinarians, and veterinary clinic staff) may be at risk of contracting C. burnetii. Based on the findings, it is advised to be particularly cautious, especially when assisting with dogs and cats giving birth. Coxiellosis should be considered a potential cause of reproductive disorders in these animals. The results indicate that rabbits are probably less important in the circulation of the C. burnetii in the present study. This is the first serological survey of C. burnetii in pet dogs, cats and rabbits in Poland.
Targeting scapular muscles with facilitatory movement patterns to improve upper extremity function in gangliocapsular stroke: a case report
Authors: Saklecha Akshaya , Quershi Moh’d Irshad , Raghuveer Raghumahanti , Harjpal Pallavi 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Background
Gangliocapsular stroke is a specific type of hemorrhagic stroke that primarily affects the basal ganglia and internal capsule due to rupture of the lenticulostriate perforating arteries. Patients afflicted with this condition often present with contralateral motor deficits, particularly affecting the upper extremity. Additionally, these individuals may experience challenges in coordination and stability, largely due to the involvement of the shoulder and scapular girdle. The stability of proximal joint is essential to increase the limited functions and distal movement of the upper extremities. Malalignment of scapula further complicates the execution of daily activities, profoundly affecting patients’ overall well-being and reducing engagement in society. Therefore, restoring upper limb function is imperative for a successful return to daily routines, with a focus on improving arm function being a crucial aspect of stroke therapy. Many methods have been explored for enhancing the function of upper limb in stroke, but the emphasis is more toward developing independence in grasp and improving scapular stability is often neglected. This case reports aim to examine the effect of targeted scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on upper limb function in a patient who suffered a gangliocapsular stroke.

Case presentation
A 54-year-old South Asian man was presented with left-sided hemiplegia following a right gangliocapsular stroke. He reported challenges in using his left upper limb and weakness of the left side of the body, which severely impaired his ability to perform activities of daily living. Radiological findings indicated a right gangliocapsular hemorrhage. The patient underwent a 4-week physiotherapy rehabilitation program, with outcome measures including the palpation meter, Fugl–Meyer assessment of upper extremity, and functional independence measure. Following the treatment period, significant improvements were observed in scapular alignment and upper limb functions, underscoring the effectiveness of rehabilitation strategies for optimal outcomes and recovery.

Conclusions
The study underscores the beneficial outcomes of targeted scapular muscles through facilitatory movement patterns to improve upper extremity function in gangliocapsular stroke. Implementing scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques led to a beneficial change in scapular positioning, consequently improving upper limb function, and quality of life significantly.
In ovo sodium butyrate administration differentially impacts growth performance, intestinal barrier function, immune response, and gut microbiota characteristics in low and high hatch-weight broilers
Authors: Akram Muhammad Zeeshan , Everaert Nadia , Dunisławska Aleksandra 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Background
Hatch weight (HW) affects broiler growth and low HW (LHW) often leads to suboptimal performance. Sodium butyrate (SB) has been shown to promote growth through enhanced intestinal health. This study investigated how broilers with different HW responded to in ovo SB injection and whether SB could enhance gut health and performance in LHW chicks. Ross 308 broiler eggs were injected on incubation d 12 with physiological saline (control) or SB at 0.1% (SB1), 0.3% (SB3), or 0.5% (SB5). Post-hatch, male chicks from each treatment were categorized as high HW (HHW) or LHW and assigned to 8 groups in a 4 × 2 factorial design. Production parameters were recorded periodically. Intestinal weight, length, and gene expression related to gut barrier function and immune response were examined on d 14 and 42. Cecal microbiota dynamics and predicted functionality were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Results
SB treatments did not affect hatchability. HHW-control group exhibited consistently better weight gain and FCR than LHW-control group. SB dose-dependently influenced performance and gut health in both HW categories, with greater effects in LHW broilers at 0.3%. LHW-SB3 group attained highest body weight on d 42, exceeding controls but not significantly differing from HHW-SB3 group. LHW-SB3 group showed upregulation of gut-barrier genes CLDN1 in ileum, TJP1 in jejunum and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in both jejunum and ileum on d 14. Additionally, LHW-SB3 group upregulated mucin-producing MUC6 gene in ileum, while HHW-SB5 group increased pro-inflammatory IL-12p40 cytokine in caecum on d 42. LHW-SB3 group demonstrated shorter relative intestinal lengths, while HHW-SB5 had longer lengths. HHW-control group had higher bacterial diversity and growth-promoting bacteria while LHW-control group harbored the potential pathogen Helicobacter. SB reshaped gut microbiota biodiversity, composition, and predicted metabolic pathways in both HW categories. The LHW-SB3 group exhibited highest alpha diversity on d 14 and most beneficial bacteria at all timepoints. HHW-SB5 group presented increased pathogenic Escherichia-Shigella and Campylobacter on d 42.

Conclusions
HW significantly affects subsequent performance and SB has differential effects based on HW. LHW chicks benefited more from 0.3% SB, showing improvements in growth, intestinal development, health, and gut microbiota characteristics.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Background
Human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, industrialization, canalization, and water abstraction, negatively affect biodiversity. This study was carried out to determine the effect of anthropogenic activities on the composition, distribution, and abundance of Odonata of Akure South Local Government Area.

Results
A total of 2376 Odonata individuals (1363 dragonflies and 1013 damselflies) in 6 families (Libellulidae, Ceonagrionidae, Calopterygidae, Platycnemididae, Chlorocyphidae) and Gomphidae, 19 genera and 36 species were recorded in this study. Pseudagrion ‘A’ kersteni (651) is the most frequent species followed closely by Trithemis arteriosa, they were found in all the sites, therefore are generalists. Eight species including Lestinogomphus minutus, Pantala flavescens, Copera sikassoensis, etc., are least represented in the study, they were made up of one individual each. Leo study site has the richest odonate fauna (Simpson dominance: 0.8497, Shannon–Wiener H_: 2.234 and Margalef: 3.021); while, the least was Oda (Simpson dominance: 0.7899 and Shannon Wiener H_: 1.932). The distribution of the species was highest at Oda (evenness E: 0.4931), followed closely by Leo (evenness E: 0.4916); while, Ijapo (evenness E: 0.3852) is the least.

Conclusion
The few stenotopic species and, proliferation of eurytopic species in the study sites proved that the sites are undergoing intense anthropogenic disturbance and conservation efforts must therefore be put in place to prevent the extinction of these species and their restoration in sites they were absent.

AbstractFoods, especially medicinal foods, play a vital role in providing nutrients for healthy growth and in the management of clinical disorders. Unfortunately, half of the global population lacks access to affordable healthcare and a nutritious diet. Therefore, it is important to identify traditional and scientifically proven therapeutic foods for disease management and the prevention of micronutrient deficiencies. Baobab, one of nature ‘s gifts to mankind, is the focus of this study. The aim was to provide an overview of its medicinal and nutritional benefits through a literature search. Research indicates that baobab fruit pulp is a rich source of fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and notably vitamin C, about five to 10 times the content found in oranges. Additionally, baobab fruit pulp has been found to possess various therapeutic properties, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anticancer, and antiulcer characteristics. Furthermore, it is considered safe for consumption. These findings emphasize the importance of increasing baobab plantations and raising public awareness about the health benefits of the fruit through educational initiatives. Further research is necessary to explore the potential of baobab fruit pulp as a therapeutic agent for improved health.

The Riemann problem for two-layer shallow water equations with bottom topography
Authors: Wang Fan , Sheng Wancheng , Hu Yanbo , Zhang Qinglong 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In this article, we propose a model describing laminar shallow water flows with two velocities to handle an uneven bottom. The model is established by taking the different velocities into account. The source terms generated from the bottom topography prevent us from solving the Riemann problem directly. We first derive the elementary waves including the stationary wave where the global entropy condition is used to ensure uniqueness. Then, we analyze the resonance phenomenon and coalescence of waves by classifying the initial data into different regions. Finally, the Riemann problem is resolved explicitly on a case-by-case basis.
Idiom Comprehension of Chinese Patients With Aphasia: A Case Study
Authors: Chen Hongjun , Dou Xintong , Liu Yunan , Hu Dawei , Zhao Yan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Previous studies on idiom comprehension of patients with aphasia (PWAs) mainly focused on Indo-European speakers, examining whether PWAs could correctly extract the target meaning of idioms, while among Chinese PWAs, idiom familiarity, context and other variables affecting idiom comprehension were rarely studied. Hence, this study aims to explore whether Chinese PWAs can correctly comprehend the target meaning of idioms, and further investigate the role of familiarity and context. For three Chinese PWAs, this study adopted the string-to-word matching task, taking Chinese four-character idioms as the experimental stimuli, and provided decoy words containing target meaning, literal meaning, unrelated abstract meaning and unrelated concrete meaning as the matching words of idiom items by manipulating the familiarity and contextual presence of idiom items. The results suggested that the PWAs could not correctly extract the target meaning of idioms and presented both the literal meaning tendency and the weak abstract meaning tendency, and the influence of familiarity on the comprehension of idioms was stronger than that of context. These results support the Graded Salience Hypothesis.
Power Relations in Older Adults’ Cognitive Interaction in Clinical Setting: A Multimodal Pragmatic Perspective
Authors: Ma Zhongquan , Huang Lihe 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study explored the construction of power relations in the cognitive assessment of older adults within the Chinese clinical context. Data is derived from audio and video recordings that nine older adults produced in the cognitive assessment of the Chinese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic (MoCA-B), which were then annotated and analyzed from a multimodal pragmatic perspective. The study reveals that examiners and older adults employed various speech acts to achieve distinct communicative goals, with power relations between them being reflected through these speech acts. Examiners tend to claim high power, utilizing discourse strategies such as request, interruption, evaluation, rhetorical questions, and directive speech acts. In contrast, older adults assert high power through directive speech acts, rhetorical questions, and interruptions. Both parties also exhibit low power by using confirming questions and explanations. Additionally, gestures, smiles, prosody features, and other non-verbal communicative resources are synergistically employed to exercise power. The interactive mechanism of constructing power relations reveals that age affects older adults’ power relations construction even in a professional setting of the Chinese context. The negotiation between the advanced age of older adults and the expertise of examiners jointly shapes power relations in their interactions.

Authors: Li Xueyan , Chen Tianyi , Guo Hanning , Wang Huili 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Declining cognitive abilities can be a concomitant of advanced age. As language is closely associated with cognitive abilities, changes in language abilities can be an important marker of changes in cognitive abilities. The current study is to review cognitive studies of language and aging by first identifying and exploring the major clusters and pivotal articles and then detecting emerging trends. Data of 3, 266 articles on language and aging from 2013 to 2022 were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Adopting Document Co-citation Analysis, Freeman’s betweenness centrality metric (Freeman, 2002) and Kleinberg’s burst detection algorithm (Kleinberg, 2002), we explored major clusters, pivotal articles and emerging trends in this field. Cognition appears to be the most remarkable cluster. Bilingualism, speech production, listening effort, and reading comprehension are other major active clusters in a certain period. The most recent active cluster concerns the studies of Alzheimer’s disease. Articles serving as pivotal points concentrate on cognitive studies of the Framework for Understanding Effortful Listening (FUEL), the new Ease of Language Understanding model (EUL) and a hierarchical multi-representational generative framework of language comprehension. The progress in statistical methods, the relationship between language and cognitive impairment and the relationship between language abilities and cognition are the emerging trends. These emerging trends will provide some insights into how cognitive abilities influence language abilities in aging.
Status in a Nutshell. A Praxeological/Phenomenological Approach to Seals as Power Accessories
Authors: Panagiotopoulos Diamantis 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In the course of their long history in Aegean societies, seals acquired a polyvalent significance that arose from their active ‘participation’ in different social spheres and manifested itself in a superb level of technique and virtuosity. This paper examines the role of Minoan and Mycenaean seals as status symbols, highlighting not their creation but rather the practices of wearing, displaying, using, and perceiving them. The discussion spans two main chronological periods: the Second Palace Period (mid-17th to mid-15th century BCE) and the Third Palace Period (14th-13th century BCE), during which seals served different functions as status mediators. In the earlier period, a notable tension in the social significance of seals is evident when comparing evidence from Crete and the Greek Mainland. While Minoan seals were used as sphragistic tools, Mycenaean seals were not. In the later period, the use of seals in Mainland Greece was driven by their role as administrative tools within the palatial sphere. This dynamic analysis sheds light on the evolving roles and transformations of seals, influenced by varying social environments and demonstrating the multiple ways these artifacts embodied and mediated power. Additionally, it shows how their symbolic potential could express individual or collective identities.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objectives
This study aims to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy and labor, focusing on its effects on maternal and child health. The research explores the relationships between coronavirus infection and clinical and laboratory parameters, as well as the risks of pregnancy complications and adverse birth outcomes.

Methods
The study involved 60 pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19. A comprehensive evaluation of clinical and laboratory indicators was conducted, employing correlation, regression, logistic analyses to determine risk factors.

Results
There was a strong inverse correlation between carbon dioxide levels and haematocrit (−0.76), and a direct correlation between blood pH and partial pressure of oxygen (0.73). COVID-19 was associated with increased risks of preterm labor (OR=1.82), stillbirth (OR=2.11), pre-eclampsia (OR=1.46), and foetal distress. Multivariate analysis revealed a 200 g reduction in neonatal birth weight and higher risks of hospitalisation (OR=1.8), postpartum hemorrhage (OR=2.3), and preterm delivery (OR=2.5). Comorbid conditions such as cardiovascular abnormalities, diabetes, obesity, thrombophilias exacerbated the risks of complications, including pre-eclampsia, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, venous thromboembolism.

Conclusions
COVID-19 infection increases the likelihood of pregnancy complications and adverse outcomes, especially in women with comorbidities. These findings highlight the need for preventive strategies and risk management protocols for pregnant women during future outbreaks, emphasizing the importance of further research in this field.
