Authors: Mothiba Tebogo M. , Muthelo Livhuwani , Mabaso Khatazile 
Published: September 2020

Background:
In order to promote women’s rights relating to their sexual and reproductive health, termination of pregnancy in South Africa was introduced. Health professionals are expected to assist women in realizing their wishes if they want to terminate unwanted pregnancies. Unfortunately, women still experience challenges relating to the Termination of Pregnancy, more specifically, pregnant teenagers.

Aim:
The purpose of this study was to describe and explore the occurrences leading to the termination of pregnancy amongst teenagers.

Methods:
The qualitative research method was adopted to determine occurrences related to the Choice of Termination of Pregnancy amongst teenagers in Mpumalanga Province. Data were collected by conducting semi-structured interviews with teenagers to gain insight into the phenomenon studied. Permission to conduct the study at the hospital was obtained from the Department of Health Mpumalanga Province and written informed consent was obtained from participants prior to the sessions. Teenagers between the ages of 13-19 years who opted for, or had already, terminated their pregnancy participated in the study.

Results
The study revealed that the termination of unplanned pregnancy amongst teenagers was influenced by different life experiences. Those experiences are 1) the concern of being rejected by parents and other family members, 2) fear of being ridiculed by peers and the entire community, 3) feelings of embarrassment and shame, and 4) how the teen’s parents are likely to react when they are made aware of the pregnancy.

Conclusions and Recommendations:
The study revealed different circumstances, which contributed to the decision of some pregnant teenagers to opt for the termination of their pregnancy. It is of vital importance that support services be available continuously for the teenagers who opted for termination of pregnancy. More importantly, the supportive environment created by family members and close friends is of the utmost importance, because they are better placed to see the changes or see how the teens are coping pre- and post-abortion. This will enable teenagers to feel that they are not alone and enable them to cope in both pre-and-post phases.

Authors: Khan S.L. , Siddiqui F.A. , Jain S.P. , Sonwane G.M. 
Published: September 2020

Purpose:
A new human coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), triggering pneumonia, is termed as
Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19). There is an alarming situation now as this new virus is spreading
around the world. At present, there are no specific treatments for COVID-19. Nigella sativa is
known as Prophetic Medicine as its use has been mentioned in Prophetic Hadith, as a natural remedy
for all the diseases except death. Seeds and oils of N. sativa have a long history of folklore usage in
various systems of medicine such as Unani and Tibb, Ayurveda and Siddha in the treatment of different
diseases and ailments. The aim of this research is to provide a potential inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2
Mpro.

Methods:
The Molecular docking tool was used to optimize the binding affinities of chemical constituents
of N. sativa with SARS-CoV-2 Mpro.

Results:
Many constituents from N. Sativa have shown better binding affinity than reported drugs with
SARS-CoV-2 Mpro i.e., the alpha-hederin, Stigmasterol glucoside, Nigellidine-4-O-sulfite, Nigellidine,
Sterol-3-β-D-glucoside, Dithymoquinone, beta-sitosterol have binding affinities (kcal/mol) of -9, -8.1,
-8, -7.7, -7.7, -7.4, -7.4, and -6.9 and number of hydrogen bonds formed are 06, 04, 03, 03, 03, 00, and
01, respectively.

Conclusions:
There is rationale and pre-clinical evidence of the effectiveness of N. Sativa that it may be
helpful for the treatment of COVID-19 and can serve as a potential natural candidate. However, more
studies should be conducted to collect high-quality data and scientific evidence of N. Sativa to use it
against COVID-19 clinically.

Authors: Gräfitsch Alexander , Kirchhoff Philipp , Hoffmann Henry , Staerkle Ralph F , Soysal Savas D , Glauser Philippe M 
Published: September 2020

Background
Hernia repairs account for millions of general surgical procedures performed each year worldwide, with a notable shift to outpatient settings over the last decades. As technical possibilities such as smartphones, tablets, and different kinds of probes are becoming more and more available, such systems have been evaluated for applications in various clinical settings. However, there have been few studies conducted in the surgical field, especially in general surgery.

Objective
We aimed to assess the feasibility of a tablet-based follow up to monitor activity levels after repair of abdominal wall hernias and to evaluate a possible reduction of adverse events by their earlier recognition.

Methods
Patients scheduled for elective surgical repair of minor abdominal wall hernias (eg, inguinal, umbilical, or trocar hernias) were equipped with a telemonitoring system, including a tablet, pulse oximeter, and actimeter, for a monitoring phase of 7 days before and 30 days after surgery. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed.

Results
We enrolled 16 patients with a mean overall age of 48.75 (SD 16.27) years. Preoperative activity levels were reached on postoperative day 12 with a median of 2242 (IQR 0-4578) steps after plunging on the day of surgery. The median proportion of available activity measurements over the entire study period of 38 days was 69% (IQR 56%-81%). We observed a gradual decrease in the proportion of available data for all parameters during the postoperative course. Six out of ten patients (60%) regained preoperative activity levels within 3 weeks after surgery. Overall, patients rated the usability of the system as relatively easy.

Conclusions
Tablet-based follow up is feasible after surgical repair of minor abdominal wall hernias, with good adherence rates during the first couple of weeks after surgery. Thus, such a system could be a useful tool to supplement or even replace traditional outpatient follow up in selected general surgical patients.

Authors: Yeh Bo-Yan , Liu Geng-Hao , Lee Tzung-Yan , Wong Alice May-Kuen , Chang Hen-Hong , Chen Yu-Sheng 
Published: September 2020

Background
Chronic low back pain is a common problem and is associated with high costs, including those related to health care and indirect costs due to absence at work or reduced productivity. Previous studies have demonstrated that acupuncture or electroacupuncture can relieve low back pain. Electronic acupuncture shoes (EAS) are a novel device designed in this study. This device combines the properties of acupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for clinical use.

Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of EAS in patients with chronic low back pain.

Methods
In this prospective double-blinded randomized controlled study, the data of 83 patients who experienced chronic low back pain were analyzed. Patients came to our clinic for 20 visits and underwent assessment and treatment. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either EAS plus placebo nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (EAS group, n=42) or sham EAS plus NSAIDs (NSAID group, n=41). The visual analog scale (VAS) score and range of motion were assessed at baseline, before and after each EAS treatment, and 2 weeks after the last treatment. The time for achieving pain remission was recorded. Quality of life was assessed at the 2nd, 14th, and 20th visits.

Results
After 6 weeks of treatment, the treatment success rate in each visit in the EAS group was higher than that in the NSAID group, as revealed by the intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses, but significant differences were observed only during the 16th visit in the ITT analysis (EAS group: 31/37, 84% and NSAID group: 21/34, 62%; P=.04). The change in the VAS score from baseline in each visit in the EAS group was greater than that in the NSAID group, as revealed by the ITT and PP analyses, and significant differences were observed in the 5th visit and 9th visit in the ITT analysis (P=.048 and P=.048, respectively). Significant differences were observed in the left rotation in the 2nd visit and 4th visit (P=.049 and P=.03, respectively). No significant differences were observed in the VAS score before and after treatment in each visit and in the quality of life in both groups.

Conclusions
EAS might serve as a reliable alternative therapeutic tool for patients with chronic low back pain who are contraindicated for oral NSAIDs.

Background
Patient-facing digital health tools have been promoted to help patients manage concerns related to COVID-19 and to enable remote care and self-care during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has also been suggested that these tools can help further our understanding of the clinical characteristics of this new disease. However, there is limited information on the characteristics and use patterns of these tools in practice.

Objective
The aims of this study are to describe the characteristics of people who use digital health tools to address COVID-19–related concerns; explore their self-reported symptoms and characterize the association of these symptoms with COVID-19; and characterize the recommendations provided by digital health tools.

Methods
This study used data from three digital health tools on the K Health app: a protocol-based COVID-19 self-assessment, an artificial intelligence (AI)–driven symptom checker, and communication with remote physicians. Deidentified data were extracted on the demographic and clinical characteristics of adults seeking COVID-19–related health information between April 8 and June 20, 2020. Analyses included exploring features associated with COVID-19 positivity and features associated with the choice to communicate with a remote physician.

Results
During the period assessed, 71,619 individuals completed the COVID-19 self-assessment, 41,425 also used the AI-driven symptom checker, and 2523 consulted with remote physicians. Individuals who used the COVID-19 self-assessment were predominantly female (51,845/71,619, 72.4%), with a mean age of 34.5 years (SD 13.9). Testing for COVID-19 was reported by 2901 users, of whom 433 (14.9%) reported testing positive. Users who tested positive for COVID-19 were more likely to have reported loss of smell or taste (relative rate [RR] 6.66, 95% CI 5.53-7.94) and other established COVID-19 symptoms as well as ocular symptoms. Users communicating with a remote physician were more likely to have been recommended by the self-assessment to undergo immediate medical evaluation due to the presence of severe symptoms (RR 1.19, 95% CI 1.02-1.32). Most consultations with remote physicians (1940/2523, 76.9%) were resolved without need for referral to an in-person visit or to the emergency department.

Conclusions
Our results suggest that digital health tools can help support remote care and self-management of COVID-19 and that self-reported symptoms from digital interactions can extend our understanding of the symptoms associated with COVID-19.

Authors: Manggasari Eka Rahayu 
Published: September 2020

This study discusses the history of the Indonesian city from the perspective of the pedicab peddlers from the 1950s to the 1970s. The role of the pedicab peddlers was central in transporting people and goods in the cities. The stagnation of public transportation, which had started since the Japanese occupation, had worsened in the postcolonial period. The failure to find a substitute for public transport resulted in its replacement with human labor, in the form of the pedicab. The article argues that the centrality of the pedicab during the early decades of independence means that to understand how urban spaces were experienced required an understanding of their function for these urban spaces. Their role need to be given voice to the narrative of the city. Pedicabs worked in tehe urban streets and are integral to the functioning of the street. The article wants to explore the writing of the history of the city, in which human power plays a central role. In depth the purpose of this kind of writing will open our eyes to our understanding of how the city works at the street level.

A DEFENSE OF SPOILER VOTING
Authors: Looney W. Scott , Werner Preston 
Published: September 2020

AbstractA familiar debate in first-past-the-post democracies is whether ideologically disenfranchised voters should cast their vote for minor party candidates. We argue that voting for minor party candidates will sometimes be the best strategic option for voters with non-mainstream ideologies. Major parties, as rational agents, will be ideologically responsive to genuine threats of defection. By voting for a minor party, voters can simultaneously punish major parties for unfairly “bargaining” with their voting bloc and also signal their ideological reasons for defecting.

Published: September 2020

Prevelensi perokok di Indonesia setiap tahunnya meningkat, berbagai kampanye anti rokok telah dilakukan oleh pemerintah dan organisasi untuk mengurangi angka perokok yang dapat berdampak bagi kesehatan. Para perokok mengetahui adanya bahaya yang ditimbulkan oleh rokok sehingga memunculkan adanya disonansi, dimana seseorang terlibat dalam perilaku yang tidak konsisten dengan keyakinan mereka. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui bagaimana perokok memiliki disonansi kognitif terhadap rokok, strategi yang digunakan untuk mengurangi disonansi, serta persepsi mengenai manfaat cukai rokok pada negara. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan wawancara mendalam (in depth interview) pada perokok aktif di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa untuk mengurangi disonansi, perokok aktif menambah elemen kognitif dengan informasi baru seperti informasi bahwa merokok tidak memiliki dampak langsung terhadap kesehatan mereka, masih banyak yang berbahaya bagi tubuh selain merokok, serta informasi mengenai rokok sebagai penyumbang pendapatan ekonomi terbesar di Indonesia. Elemen kognitif baru ini memberikan pembenaran atas perilaku merokok sehingga kampanye anti-rokok yang selama ini dilakukan tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap perilaku perokok aktif di Indonesia.
