Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a global public health emergency which is affecting people across the world. Health care professionals and their working environment are in close by vicinity to the patient. The chance of cross-contamination and spread of infection is high if proper infection control measures are not taken. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of Nepali medical and dental practitioners on infection control during the COVID-2019 pandemic.
Materials and Method: A self administered questionnaire was formulated and circulated online among health care practitioners. Questionnaire consisted of questions on knowledge, attitude and practice regarding infection control on COVID-19 pandemic. A scoring criteria was set, giving score 1 to the correct answer and score 0 to the incorrect answer. Total scores were calculated and levels of knowledge, attitude and practice were assessed. Mean scores for medical and dental practitioners were also assessed and compared.
Result: Total 80% of the total participants had not received training on infection prevention and control practices specifically for COVID-19. Only 19.3%, 4.7%, 9.5% participants scored maximum scores for knowledge, attitude and practice, respectively. Majority of the participants (around 80%) had good attitude towards infection control regarding COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion: There is a need for specific training on infection prevention and control on COVID-19 for Nepali health care professionals. Supply of personal protective equipment materials required for infection control against COVID-19 in health care facility should improve to combat against this pandemic.

Introduction: An orthodontic emergency is a problem arising from an orthodontic appliance and the patient may experience pain and discomfort, where an unscheduled appointment might be required to resolve the issue. Dental care settings invariably carry the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection due to the nature of procedures performed. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice towards management of orthodontic emergency during COVID-19 pandemic among orthodontic professionals.
Materials and Method: In this descriptive cross sectional study, evaluation of the knowledge, attitude and practice towards management of orthodontic emergency during COVID-19 pandemic were done by administering the online semi-structured questionnaire consisting of 20 questions to 120 orthodontic professionals of the Nepal through online platforms. The filled online forms were then documented for further evaluation.
Result: This study found that among the total of 120 participants, 74 (61.66%) were male while 46 (38.33%) were female. The mean age of the participants was 36.4±6.45 years while mean years of experiences was 6.15±5.55 years. Most of the orthodontists think that poking distal wire or ligature wire (87.5%) followed by periodontal abscess (85.8%) around the loose band as the most common orthodontic emergencies. Majority of the orthodontists recommended that, the patient should be triaged by telephone or through video call (79.1%), ask the patient to take picture and send to identify the type of problem (74.1%) while offer any interim self-care advise to solve the problem (58.3%) before face to face consultation. Around 57.5% of orthodontists were practicing only for urgent and emergency cases during this pandemic and lockdown.
Conclusion: This study showed that most of the orthodontic professionals had adequate knowledge about orthodontic emergency problems and had positive attitude towards their profession but the practice was limited due to COVID-19 pandemic and the risks involved in this.

Published: September 2020

We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled prospective trial examining a supplement containing ferulic acid and Angelica archangelica extract (Feru-guard ®) for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In the intention-to-treat population, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were significantly better at 24 weeks ( p = 0.041) in the active group. In the per protocol population, MMSE was significantly better in the active group at 24 weeks ( p = 0.008), and mixed effect models for repeated measures (MMRM) showed significant difference ( p = 0.016). ADAS-Jcog was significantly better at 24 ( p = 0.035) and 48 weeks ( p = 0.015) in the active group, and MMRM was significant ( p = 0.031). Thus, Feru-guard ® may be useful for MCI.

BACKGROUND: Hematuria is the most frequent presenting symptom in the vast majority of bladder cancer (BC) patients. The current recommended evaluation of hematuria includes cross sectional imaging and cystoscopy with possible high negative results, expensive costs and substantial patient burden. OBJECTIVES: To validate novel urine-based mRNA-dependant tests; Xpert test and urinary metabolomics assay ( CRAT and SLC 25A20genes expression) for BC detection in patients with hematuria. METHODS: Patients presented with hematuria to our tertiary care hospital were evaluated by CT urogram and office white light cystoscopy with subsequent inpatient biopsy for positive findings. Voided precystoscopy urine samples were prospectively collected. Xpert test, assay of targeted urinary metabolomics and cytology, were performed. The tests characteristics presumably were calculated based on the ability to identify BC noninvasively. RESULTS: Between March 2018 and June 2019, 181 patients were included in the final analysis with mean (±SD) age 62 (±10) years with 168 (92.8%) males. Macroscopic hematuria was encountered in 153 (84.5%) patients with irritative bladder symptoms in 48 (26.5%) patients. BC was confirmed by cystoscopy/biopsy in 36 (19.9%) patients. The performance characteristics of Xpert alone (SN: 73%, SP: 83%, NPV: 92%, PPV: 52%) (AUC 0.84, 95% CI 0.75–0.93, p = 0.001), metabolomics assay alone (SN: 89%, SP: 93%, NPV: 97%, PPV: 78%) (AUC 0.91, 95% CI 0.85–0.98, p < 0.001) and combination of both test results (SN: 66%, SP: 98%, NPV: 92%, PPV: 97%) (AUC 0.83, 95% CI 0.74–0.93, p = 0.001) were notably superior to urine cytology (SN: 30%, SP: 84%, NPV: 83%, PPV: 33%) (AUC 0.58, 95% CI 0.47–0.69, p = 0.154) for BC prediction. Cystoscopy-negative patients (CNP) were followed-up for a median (range) 12 (2–19) months. Re-cystoscopy was done for 35 patients with persistent symptoms. BC was diagnosed in 6 patients. Xpert and urinary metabolomics results were observably positive in those 6 patients. CONCLUSION: Xpert test and assay of urinary metabolomics ( CRAT and SLC 25A20 genes expression) have the potential for BC detection in hematuria patients. These non invasive urine based tests can help prioritization of the use of invasive diagnostic tests in systems with long waiting times.

Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND: Nearly 70% of all new cases of bladder cancer are non-muscle invasive disease, the treatment for which includes transurethral resection followed by intravesical therapy. Unfortunately, recurrence rates approach 50% in part due to poor intravesical drug delivery. Hyperthermia is frequently used as an adjunct to intravesical chemotherapy to improve drug delivery and response to treatment. OBJECTIVE: To assess the solubility profile of intravesical chemotherapies under varying conditions of pH and temperature. METHODS: Using microplate laser nephelometry we measured the solubility of three intravesical chemotherapy agents (mitomycin C, gemcitabine, and cisplatin) at varying physical conditions. Drugs were assessed at room temperature (23°C), body temperature (37°C), and 43°C, the temperature used for hyperthermic intravesical treatments. To account for variations in urine pH, solubility was also investigated at pH 4.00, 6.00, and 8.00. RESULTS: Heat incrementally increased the solubility of all three drugs studied. Conversely, pH largely did not impact solubility aside for gemcitabine which showed slightly reduced solubility at pH 8.00 versus 6.00 or 4.00. Mitomycin C at the commonly used 2.0 mg/mL was insoluble at room temperature, but soluble at both 37 and 43°C. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperthermia as an adjunct to intravesical treatment would improve drug solubility, and likely drug delivery as some current regimens are insoluble without heat. Improvements in solubility also allow for testing of alternative administration regimens to improve drug delivery or tolerability. Further studies are needed to confirm that improvements in solubility result in increased drug delivery.

Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND: Several studies have found a link between nutritional status and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to assess both nutritional status and dietary habits of PD patients with respect to controls and to compare disease progression in relation to dietary habits, such as protein distribution diet (PRD) adherence. METHODS: We collected anthropometric measurements, Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score, dietary habits, micro- and macronutrients intakes, body composition by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), muscle strength and gait speed of 66 PD patients and 58 controls (40 healthy controls and 18 subjects with essential tremor). Clinical scales and progression indexes were recorded in PD group. RESULTS: No significant differences emerged between PD and controls in anthropometric and BIA measurements; a comparable dietary intake between the two groups was recorded. Sarcopenia and dynapenia were comparable between the two groups. PD resulted more at risk of malnutrition than controls to MNA, only three patients and one control were malnourished. A notable inverse correlation was observed between MNA and PD Questionnaire 8. PD following a PRD showed a slower progression index. CONCLUSION: Nutritional status of PD patients is not so different from elderly controls. PRD is recommended for patients with PD.
