Published: November 2021

Background: Given the limited effectiveness of pharmacological treatments in mitigating cognitive decline in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), there is a pressing need for developing effective non-pharmacological intervention programs to counteract MCI-related cognitive decline. Acupressure and cognitive training are safe and cost-effective; however, evidence of the effect of acupressure or the combined effect of acupressure and cognitive training on cognitive functions of older adults with MCI is limited.Objective: To evaluate both the individual and combined effects of acupressure and cognitive training on cognitive functions of older adults with MCI.Methods: One hundred and eighty older adults with MCI were recruited and randomly assigned to combined acupressure and cognitive training group (n = 45), acupressure group (n = 45), cognitive training group (n = 45), or control group (n = 45). Participants in the experimental groups received self-administered and group-based training sessions, while those in the control group received routine community education. The intervention lasted for 6 months. The cognitive functions of all the participants were assessed at multiple stages, including pre-intervention, at the end of the third and sixth months.Results: One hundred and fifty-one participants completed the study, and all participants analyzed in intervention groups completed at least 85% of all practice sessions recommended. Repeated measures analysis of variance of the scores of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at different time points among the four groups revealed that the group effect, time effect, and interaction effect were all significant (p &lt; 0.01). Pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni correction showed that the scores of MMSE and MoCA in acupressure group, cognitive training group, and combined group were significantly raised compared with control group (p &lt; 0.01). Compared with acupressure or cognitive training groups, the scores of MMSE and MoCA in combined group were significantly higher (p &lt; 0.05). The scores of MMSE and MoCA in acupressure group had no significant differences with those in cognitive training group (p &gt; 0.05).Conclusion: Acupressure and cognitive training both could improve the cognitive functions of older adults with MCI, and when used together, the effects were enhanced.Clinical Trial Registration: This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (No.ChiCTR2100049955).

Published: November 2021

Background: Bulimia nervosa is a disabling psychiatric disorder that considerably impairs physical health, disrupts psychosocial functioning, and reduces overall quality of life. Despite available treatment, less than half of sufferers achieve recovery and approximately a third become chronically ill. Extreme and enduring cases are particularly resistant to first-line treatment, namely antidepressants and cognitive behavioral therapy, and have the highest rate of premature mortality. Here, we demonstrate that in such cases, repeated sessions of ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is an effective treatment alternative for improving symptoms.Case Presentation: A 21-year-old woman presented with extreme and enduring bulimia nervosa. She reported recurrent binge-eating and purging by self-induced vomiting 40 episodes per day, which proved refractory to both pharmacological and behavioral treatment at the outpatient, residential, and inpatient level. Provided this, her physician recommended repeated KAP as an exploratory and off-label intervention for her eating disorder. The patient underwent three courses of KAP over 3 months, with each course consisting of six sessions scheduled twice weekly. She showed dramatic reductions in binge-eating and purging following the first course of treatment that continued with the second and third. Complete cessation of behavioral symptoms was achieved 3 months post-treatment. Her remission has sustained for over 1 year to date.Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first report of repeated KAP used to treat bulimia nervosa that led to complete and sustained remission, a rare outcome for severe and enduring cases, let alone extreme ones. Additionally, it highlights the degree to which KAP can be tailored at the individual level based on symptom severity and treatment response. While its mechanism of action is unclear, repeated KAP is a promising intervention for bulimia nervosa that warrants future research and clinical practice consideration.

Published: November 2021

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a major cause of morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy. There is no consensus on the best technique to protect the pancreato-enteric anastomosis and reduce the rate of POPF. This study investigated the feasibility and efficiency of external suction drainage of the pancreatic duct to improve the healing of pancreaticogastrostomy.Methods: Between July 2019 and June 2021, 21 consecutive patients undergoing elective pancreaticoduodenectomy were included. In all patients we performed a pancreaticogastrostomy and inserted a negative pressure drainage into the pancreatic duct. The length and diameter of the pancreatic duct were measured and the texture of the pancreas was evaluated. The daily secretion volume and the lipase value via pancreatic duct drainage were documented. The occurrence of POPF was evaluated.Results: None of the patients had drainage-related complications. In 4 patients we registered a dislocation of the drainage from the pancreas duct into the stomach. 17/21 Patients showed no signs of POPF. A biochemical leak was measured in one patient. Furthermore, 2 patients had a POPF grade B. In one patient, POPF grade C required reoperation and resection of the remnant pancreas. All 4 cases of POPF met the risk criteria soft pancreas, high volume and high lipase value in the duct drainage.Conclusion: The insertion of the pancreatic duct drainage was feasible and caused no drainage-related morbidity. POPF-rate was moderate in the risk population of soft pancreas and small duct.

Introducción: En el Perú, el programa actual de inmunización para COVID-19 comprende las vacunas BBIBP-CorV, BNT162B2 y ChAdOx1 nCoV-19. Si bien el esquema de inmunización es de dos dosis, algunos países han incluido recientemente una dosis de refuerzo a su esquema. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda de evidencia científica sobre la eficacia y seguridad de la vacunación de refuerzo con la vacuna BNT162b2 en población con esquema de vacunación completa para COVID-19 en Perú. Evidencia incluida: Se consideraron cuatro documentos de recomendación basados en evidencia, un estudio observacional y tres ensayos clínicos fase III en curso. Conclusión: A la fecha, no existe evidencia suficiente sobre la eficacia de agregar una dosis de refuerzo al esquema de inmunización para COVID-19. La evidencia disponible no permite justificar el uso de una dosis de refuerzo con la vacuna BNT162B2 en población que recibió previamente dos dosis de las vacunas anteriormente mencionadas.

Published: November 2021

Aim. The presented study aims to assess the current state of the banking sector of the economy and its potential for the development of ESG banking and implementation of ESG standards.Tasks. The authors analyze the current level of ESG standards implementation and the banks’ readiness to further implement ESG standards.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition to analyze the problems and obstacles that arise during ESG standards implementation in banking practice.Results. The banking community’s participation in the funding of sustainable development projects is selective rather than overarching, with banks choosing individual banking products. Reports marginally trace their participation in lending to business projects related to the circular economy of various industries.Conclusions. The special place of the banking sector in the national economy and its interaction with the real sector of the economy offer great potential for the development of ESG standards, making it possible to introduce ESG technologies both in banking activities and in their active promotion to other sectors of the economy through customers, thereby accelerating the transition towards a circular economy in Russia. The strength of the Russian banking system has been tested in recent years, and it embraces the formation of new rules of economic behavior. By overcoming existing obstacles, banks will be able to switch to ESG standards in the coming years, thus becoming pioneers in doing business based on the principles of environmental, social, and managerial responsibility.

Published: November 2021

Review question / Objective: Whether is indocyanine green fluorescence imaging-guided lymphadenectomy feasible to improve the number of lymph node dissections during radical gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer undergoing curative resection? Condition being studied: Gastric cancer was the sixth most common malignant tumor and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Radical lymphadenectomy was a standard procedure in radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The retrieval of more lymph nodes was beneficial for improving the accuracy of tumor staging and the long-term survival of patients with gastric cancer. Indocyanine green(ICG) near-infrared fluorescent imaging has been found to provide surgeons with effective visualization of the lymphatic anatomy. As a new surgical navigation technique, ICG near-infrared fluorescent imaging was a hot spot and had already demonstrated promising results in the localization of lymph nodes during surgery in patients with breast cancer, non–small cell lung cancer, and gastric cancer. In addition, ICG had increasingly been reported in the localization of tumor, lymph node dissection, and the evaluation of anastomotic blood supply during radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. However, it remained unclear whether ICG fluorescence imaging would assist surgeons in performing safe and sufficient lymphadenectomy.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of two omega fatty acids on in vitro rumen fermentation, microbial populations, total gas and methane (CH4) production．Methods: Both linoleic and linolenic acids were supplemented at 0 (control), 1, 3, 5 and 7 % of dry matter (DM) in a ration with a high roughage to concentrate ratio (70: 30). Total gas and CH4 were measured at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 h of fermentation while pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA), and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) concentrations were measured at 24 h using buffalo rumen fluid in an in vitro batch culture system. Microbial populations were determined using 16S-rDNA gene primers by RT-PCR.Results: The results revealed that linoleic acid at 3, 5 and 7 % decreased the concentration of NH3-N (p< 0.05) but linolenic acid at 5 and 7 % increased NH3-N (p < 0.05). A linear decrease (p <0.001) in acetate and butyrate, coupled with linear increase (p <0.001) in propionate was observed in response to treatment. Furthermore, supplementation of 3, 5 and 7 % of both fatty acids linearly (p < 0.001) decreased total gas and CH4 production when compared to the control. The addition of linoleic acid linearly (p < 0.001) decreased the number of protozoa without affecting methanogens, while linolenic acid linearly and quadratically (p < 0.001) reduced the population of both protozoa and methanogens (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Linolenic acid is more effective at a 3 % level in reducing methane production (up to 63 %) in high roughage diets.

Authors: Hikimatu Zakariah , Mustafa Alhasan , Agoke William 
Published: November 2021

Purpose: This study investigates the difficulties the health care service providers encounter in the quest of rendering preconception counselling services in Ghana.
Methodology: The study employed descriptive survey design with the use of both qualitative and quantitative research approaches using questionnaire as the main tool. The study employed simple random sampling to sampled 135 out of 675 health care service providers from 23 health facilities in the Bole District of the Savanna Region in Ghana. The quantitative data obtained for the study was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Solution (SPSS) whilst the qualitative data were subjected to descriptive and narrative discussion.
Findings: The study revealed that, health care practitioners need continuous training programme. It also became clear that, there no any clear national guideline or policy on preconception counselling in Ghana. It came to light that, the healthcare service providers face a lot of difficulties to capture women of child bearing age to offer them the services. Inadequate knowledge and expertise to effectively offer the preconception counselling services was also identified as a challenge.
Recommendations: The study therefore recommend that the Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Service should come out with a clear policy guideline on preconception counselling and also provide an intensive training for the health care professionals. The health care providers should also be provided with the needed resources to embark on sensitisation and advocacy campaigns to create the awareness for women of childbearing age to appreciate the need for preconception and genetic carrier risk counselling.
