Abstract

Objectives
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a promising treatment for peritoneal cancer that entails, however, potential risks for the caregivers in the operating room (OR). This study aimed to reach a consensus within the PIPAC community on a comprehensive safety protocol.

Methods
Active PIPAC centers were invited to participate in a two-round Delphi process on 43 predefined items: concise summaries of the existing evidence were presented together with questions formulated using the population, intervention, comparator, and outcome framework. According to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation, the strength of recommendation was voted by panelists, accepting a consensus threshold of ≥50% of the agreement for any of the four grading options, or ≥70% in either direction.

Results
Forty-seven out of 66 invited panelists answered both rounds (response rate 76%). The consensus was reached for 41 out of 43 items (95.3%). Strong and weak recommendations were issued for 30 and 10 items, respectively. A positive consensual recommendation was issued to activate laminar airflow without specific strength, neither strong nor weak. No consensus was reached for systematic glove change for caregivers with a high risk of exposure and filtering facepiece mask class 3 for caregivers with low risk of exposure.

Conclusions
A high degree of consensus was reached for a comprehensive safety protocol for PIPAC, adapted to the risk of exposure for the different caregivers in the OR. This consensus can serve as a basis for education and help reach a high degree of adherence in daily practice.

Abstract

Objectives
Recent advances in hematology analyzers have enabled to improve the reliability in the results and also provided additional hematological parameters. In the present study, we aimed to determine the reference ranges for automated erythrocyte and reticulocyte parameters in healthy individuals on Sysmex XN 1000 hematology analyzer.

Methods
One hundred and thirty-three subjects with normal physical examination and complete blood count results within the reference ranges were included in the study. Venous blood samples collected in tubes containing K2-EDTA were analyzed on Sysmex XN-1000. The references intervals for IRF, RBC He, Ret He, LFR, MFR, HFR, Delta He, Micro R, Macro R, Hypo He and Hyper He were determined according to CLSI EP28-A3c.

Results
The reference ranges of the parameters were estimated with 90% confidence intervals. The reference ranges were 3.4–17% for IRF, 26.9–32.8 pg for Ret-He, 25.2–30.5 pg for RBC-He and 0.5–3.7 pg for delta-He. Gender specific reference ranges were calculated for of Ret-He (male (M): 26.8–32.9 pg, female (F): 23.9–33.6 pg), RBC-He (M: 26.3–30.8 pg, F: 25.3–30.5 pg) and delta-He (M: 0.5–3.7 pg, F: 0.3–3.7 pg).

Conclusions
The new reticulocyte and erythrocyte parameters may be conveniently used in clinical diagnosis and follow-up of patients, as they offer reliable, automated and cheap results. Each laboratory is recommended to determine its own reference intervals considering the differences like the instrument used and population studied.
Enhanced phosphorescence of Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes adsorbed onto Laponite for optical sensing of triplet molecular dioxygen in water

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Two isoleptic complexes involving Pd(II) and Pt(II) centres with a tetradentate luminophoric ligand were adsorbed onto Laponite (LAP), yielding H2O-dispersible nanohybrids with remarkable photoexcited state properties. The adsorption promoted rigidification of the coordination compounds and suppression of roto-vibrational deactivation pathways, thus enhancing the performance of the molecular species. Interestingly, room temperature phosphorescence was achieved in the case of the Pd(II)-containing nanohybrid along with a marked 3O2 sensitivity, whereas the photoluminescence of the Pt(II)-based material showed only a mild dependence on the presence of 3O2 while reaching up to 37% quantum yield.

Authors: Andlib Zubaria , Salcedo-Castro Julio 
Published: November 2021

Due to the increase in international connectivity and technological advancement, tourism has gained immense momentum in the recent past. Despite its favorable impacts, tourism has proved to be one of the significant contributors to increasing CO2 emissions. This study attempts to understand better the relationship between tourism, governance, and the CO2 emissions nexus in selected South Asian countries. The study obtained data from WDI and applied FMOLS, DOLS, and FEOLS methods from 1995-2019. It is observed that tourism has a significant and positive impact on CO2 emissions in the case of selected South Asian countries. Concerning the impact of governance on CO2 emissions, it is observed that governance effectiveness is negatively associated with CO2 emissions. It is evident from the empirical analysis that CO2 emissions can be mitigated with effective government policies. Furthermore, it is also suggested that the government aim at effective environmental policies, and attention should be given to sustainable tourism in the case of South Asian economies.JEL Classification: Q50, Q56, Q58How to Cite:Andlib, Z., & Salcedo-Castro, J.

Published: November 2021

The electronic service quality (ES-QUAL) of the e-commerce service providers plays a central role. The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of the ES-QUAL model's four dimensions (efficiency, fulfillment, privacy, and system availability) on purchase intention and examine ES-QUAL's relationship with electronic word-of-mouth (EWOM), brand image, and purchase intention. This research uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for empirical analysis. Results show ES-QUAL model positively and significantly impacts purchase intention, and the effect of the ES-QUAL model relatively increases when mediated by electronic word of mouth (EWOM) and brand image. This research provides insights to E-marketers, entrepreneurs, and e-commerce players to improve online consumers' purchase intention, sales, and services. Practitioners can gain customers' attention by enhancing the quality of their websites and by assuring efficiency, privacy, system availability, and fulfilling their promise about delivering products. They also need to consider EWOM and brand image, as both positively impact online purchase intention, which can lead to the overall sustainable development of an organization.JEL Classification: M31, L81How to Cite:Baqai, S., Qureshi, J.

Exploring Current Music Therapy Practices in India
Authors: Singh Priyanka 
Published: November 2021

The concept of music therapy in India is addressed with different terms such as musical therapy, therapeutic use of music, music or musical healing, Nada Chikitsa, Nada Yoga, Raga Chikitsa, Raga Therapy, संगीतीय उपचार, सांगीतिक चिकित्सा, etc. People working in this area are addressed as music therapists, music healers, संगीत चिकित्सक, नाद चिकित्सक, etc. With the establishment of organizations like Nada Centre for Music Therapy (2004), The Music Therapy Trust (2005), Indian Association of Music Therapy (2010), and Indian Music Therapy Association (2018), the application of music in various environments for its therapeutic and healing properties has improved. People in India have been working in this field as full-time professionals and part-time healers for almost four decades now. But it is also true that people are still unaware of music therapy practices in India, how it works, how to use music in a therapeutic setting, how changes and improvements must be assessed, where to learn and receive training in music therapy, how to receive professional education in music therapy, etc. Since this profession deals with the physical, mental, and emotional health of people, it is important to establish a more formal training system that is required for any healthcare services. In return, such developments will positively impact music therapy practices in India.
This paper is a small attempt to explore the current music therapy practices in India. For this purpose, a telephonic interview was done with Dr. Nishindra Kinjalk, who is a music therapist, a Doctor of Medicine, and a Sitar as well as a Surbahar player. The interview focused on his comprehensive understanding of music therapy practices, his research, his music application model known as Kinjalk Mode of Music Application or KIMMA, developed by him and his fellow doctors, potential barriers to the expansion of this field, and the future of music therapy in India. Also, a Google Form survey was designed and shared with people working with music therapy in India who had completed any of the certificates, diploma, or degree courses offered by private and government institutes through online, in-person instruction, or distance mode. The Google survey was used to collect their responses to learn about their music therapy practices, therapy methods, interventions, assessment process, and the population they have been working with, etc. The survey respondents included both people trained in music therapy practices and those who use music therapeutically. It is important to recognize that during the writing of this report, India was under complete lockdown due to the Covid pandemic. So, telephonic interviews and online surveys were found appropriate to collect information.
The Effect of Teacher Scaffolding on Students’ Paragraph Writing Skills in EFL Classroom: The Case of Grade Nine Students in Meneguzer Secondary School, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia
Authors: Gashaye Simachew , Muchie Belyihun 
Published: November 2021

This study was intended to examine the effect of teacher scaffolding on grade nine students’ paragraph writing performance in Meneguzer secondary school, Amhara-Ethiopia. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design with explanatory sequential mixed methods of data collection and analysis. There were experimental and control groups of students including 40 students in each group. Test, questionnaire and interview were used to gather data. The quantitative data were analysed using an independent sample t-test, whereas the qualitative data were analysed thematically. The pre-test yielded a significant value of sig. (2-tailed) =0.659 which was higher than α =0.05. This showed that both the experimental and the control groups of students were equal and homogenous in their writing performance before treatment. However, after the treatment, there was a significant difference between the writing performance of the students in the two groups as the analysis of writing test in post-test yielded sig. (2- tailed) =0.025 which was smaller than α = 0.05. This implies that the treatment enabled the participants in the experimental group to improve their writing skills. The result of the questionnaire and interview analyses further revealed that the experimental group of participants were motivated and initiated by the teacher scaffolding to improve their writing skills. Thus, it can be concluded that teacher scaffolding has a positive significant effect on students’ writing skills. As a result, it motivates students to practice their writing skills independently.

Published: November 2021

In recent years, biological growth factors contained in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained from the whole blood have been actively used to regenerate tissues of the musculoskeletal system. There are a lot of methods for preparing PRP, devices and modes for obtaining it, including ready-made services for use in traumatology and orthopedics. A number of well-known protocols miss important points and features of handling biological material, and fail to give clear characteristics of the resulting product. At the same time, there are a number of products that are completely opposite in composition, method, place of application and time of application, which the authors denote as PRP.
In the domestic and foreign literature, several attempts have been made to characterize and classify the types of products containing plasma with platelets as a basis. In this article, we describe the existing systems used to classify PRP drugs, highlight their advantages and disadvantages. Of course, due to the active use of PRP in various fields of medicine, there remains a need for the standardized universal nomenclature for describing biological therapies, as well as for a comprehensive and reproducible classification system for products obtained from autologous blood.
Cancer care for patients with prostate cancer in the samara region depending on age and method of treatment
Authors: Andreeva Ramilya D. , Nizamova Rumiya S. 
Published: November 2021

Relevance. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common disorder in the male population. According to some authors, prostate cancer is the most commonly defined type of malignant tumor in men. In 2012, the number of men with prostate cancer worldwide reached 1.1 million, which is 15% of all male malignancies.
Objective: to assess the survival rates of patients with prostate cancer in the Samara Region over the period 20102014 taking into consideration their age and the given treatment.
Materials and methods. 5220 patients with prostate cancer were identified through 20102014. Of these, 4393 people (84.2%) were urban residents, 827 were from rural areas (15.8%). The average age of the subjects was 69.8 years.
Results. Analysis of age distribution demonstrated that the largest group consisted of men aged 65-74 years which is 40.7% (2126 patients). It was found that with increasing age, there was a decrease in both HB and CO. Due to the increase in the number of comorbid diseases with the increase of age the observed survival rate appeared significantly lower than the adjusted one. Radical prostatectomy (RP) resulted in high rates of 5-year adjusted survival. Similar results were obtained in the combination of surgical treatment and drug (hormonal) and radiation treatment. Combining RP with radiation or hormone therapy can be used as a multimodal treatment for high and very high risk PCa. In some patients, radiotherapy was included in the treatment regimen, and it proved its effectiveness. Orchiectomy was often used in patients with advanced prostate cancer. However survival rate became less (53.5%).
Conclusion. By analyzing survival rates, it is possible to improve the organization of anticancer control by identifying risk groups for the development of the disease, choosing the optimal methods of treatment and their individualization.

Published: November 2021

Introduction. About 80% of patients with ureteral stents experience symptoms associated with them. We believe that the intensity of stent-assosiated symptoms (SAS) can be reduced by the replacement of the stent material with a less solid one. The aim of our research was to compare the intensity of the symptoms and signs as well as the safety of silicone and poly urethane ureteral stent.
Materials and methods. The study included 70 patients who were divided into two groups. Group A included patients who were placed with polyurethane stents (Rsch, Teleflex). The experimental group B included patients who were placed with silicone stents (Cook Medical). Specialized questionnaires like pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Overactive Bladder Symptoms (OAB) questionnaires were used to study the patients for SAS severity 1 hour after the stent was placed, in the middle of the observation period and before the stent was removed or ureteroscopy was performed. In addition, each group was assessed for the effectiveness of the stent placement, the presence of hematuria, the number of unscheduled visits to the doctor and the degree of stent incrustation.
Results. A total of 70 patients participated in the study, while the control group A included of 30 patients and experimental group B included 40 patients. Group B participants having silicone ureteral stents showed significantly lower average VAS values 2 weeks before stent removal and shortly before stent removal (p = 0.023 and p = 0.014 respectively). No other comparisons between the two groups were statistically significant.
Conclusions. The obtained findings demonstrate that silicone ureter stents, unlike polyurethane ureter stents, cause less pain according to VAS two weeks before and during the stent removal procedure.

Published: November 2021

Relevance. Standardization of plant raw material derived from stevia is a topical issue, since this plant (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) contains sweet diterpene glycosides and is used as a natural sugar substitute. In addition, stevia contains flavonoids which are biologically active compounds that exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and capillary-strengthening properties. Currently, spectrophotometric methods are used to identify and quantify flavonoids in medicinal plants. They are fast, convenient and do not require sophisticated equipment.
The aim of our paper is comparative phytochemical study of the content of the total flavonoids in stevia raw material of different origin.
Materials and methods. The study material was dried stevia leaves (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni), grown in the Penza Region, the Republic of Crimea, the Krasnodar territory, and raw materials imported from Paraguay and India. The content of the total flavonoids was estimated by differential spectrophotometry calculated with reference to cynaroside.
Results. The study of the quantity of flavonoids in the raw material of stevia of different origin was carried out. In the presence of aluminum chloride stevia flavonoids form a complex compound at the absorption maximum of 408 2 nm. The content of flavonoids in different species of stevia are found to range from 1.13% to 1.74%.
Conclusion. The obtained results allow to recommend stevia leaves as a source of flavonoids along with other available medicinal plants. It is advisable to classify the complex of flavonoids as the second group of biologically active compounds of stevia leaves.

Published: November 2021

La prueba de referencia como elemento material probatorio y/o evidencia física del que su menoscabo legal y jurisprudencial se pregona como resuelto, por cuanto se considera que no tiene el mismo peso de la prueba testimonial, al vulnerar principios como los de inmediatez y contradicción; pese a que su uso es frecuente y las diferentes técnicas de entrevistas no han sufrido modificaciones, la tecnología, los sistemas de grabación de audio y video si han mejorado, permitiendo mayor accesibilidad, fidelidad y acercamiento vivencial a los espectadores de lo que se registra. En el sistema oral penal con tendencia acusatoria y las herramientas que permitan al operador judicial una mejor valoración probatoria, deben, desde la recolección de la entrevista por parte de los investigadores, garantizar la integridad de las actividades realizadas y los resultados, ante la no comparecencia del testigo a las audiencias públicas; y es precisamente por ello que la Ley Procesal la contempla la prueba de referencia.
