Authors: Passantino Andrea , Guida Pietro , Rizzo Caterina , Carbonara Rosa , Ruggieri Roberta , Scrutinio Domenico 
Published: November 2021

Malnutrition is highly prevalent among hospitalized patients; thus, an accurate identification of malnutrition could improve the outcome of these patients. The aim of the present paper was to apply multiple methods to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition and clinical correlates in patients admitted to in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation. We performed a prospective study of 426 patients admitted to in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation: 282 (66.2%) had undergone a major cardiac surgery and 144 (34.8%) had experienced heart failure. The albumin level and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) scores were applied to evaluate the nutritional status of these patients. Serum albumin levels were < 3.5 g/dl in 147 (34.5%) patients, and MNA scores were < 24 in 179 (42.0%) patients. Patients with malnutrition or a risk of malnutrition had lower haemoglobin values, lower EuroQol scores and poorer functional status. Female gender, age, functional status and Cumulative Illness Rating Scale severity were predictors of malnutrition. Over a median follow-up of 47 months, MNA scores <24 were associated with higher mortality, even after correction for confounding variables. In conclusion, in patients admitted to in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation, malnutrition and risk of malnutrition frequently occur and are associated with poor functional status, higher clinical complication rates and long-term mortality.

Published: November 2021

Background:
It is beyond doubt that the health care systems across the globe have been experiencing burdens of unprecedented magnitude in the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) era. However, no psychometric tools were validated in India to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological well-being exclusively among health care workers, given their obvious risk for exposure.

Objectives:
This study was conducted to develop the first of its kind psychometric tool that measures the psychological burden posed by COVID-19 on Indian health care workers.

Materials and Methods:
One hundred and sixty-nine health care workers attending COVID-19 duties in four different states of India took part in the study. The initial scale designed was tested for face and content validity. Exploratory factor analysis using direct oblimin rotation with Kaiser normalization was employed to determine the factor structure. Differential item functioning (DIF) analysis with ordinal regression based on the type of COVID-19 facility at which the participant is serving, educational background was done for identification of item bias.

Results:
COVID-19 Psychological Burden Scale for Indian Health Care Workers (CPBS-IHCW), with 17 items loaded on four components, demonstrated good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.873). DIF revealed no item bias based on type of facility and educational background. Significant differences in CPBS-IHCW scores were noted between health care workers serving at different COVID-19 facilities and belonging to different educational backgrounds.

Conclusion:
CPBS-IHCW is a 17-item, rapidly administrable scale, demonstrating good internal consistency reliability, and temporal stability, which can be used in the assessment of psychological burden among health care professionals catering to the needs of the COVID-19 affected.

Published: November 2021

Introduction:
It is often perceived that the presence of a distinct surgical personality plays an important role in predicting success in their surgical career. This study compares the personality profiles, perceived stress, and learning styles of surgical and nonsurgical residents.

Aim:
The aim of this study is to examine the differences in personality traits, learning style preferences, and perceived stress among surgical and nonsurgical residents.

Setting and Design:
A cross-sectional study was conducted comparing surgical and non-surgical residents in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Materials and Methods:
The 50-item International Personality Item Pool Big- Five Factor Marker questionnaire was used to score 5 personality domains. The 24-item Learning Style Inventory Questionnaire was used to determine the preferential learning styles (visual, auditory, or tactile). The Perceived Stress Scale was administered to assess the perception of stress in the residents.

Statistical Analysis:

t-test and chi-square test were done for statistical analysis.

Results:
A statistically significant difference was found in learning style preferences with visual (14.78 ± 3.73 vs. 7.4 ± 2.25) and kinesthetic styles being (13.84 ± 4.37 vs. 6.96 ± 1.47) preferred by surgical residents whereas auditory style was preferred by nonsurgical residents (P < 0.05). Surgical residents scored higher in extraversion (P = 0.00), conscientiousness (P = 0.00), and openness to experience (P = 0.00) which was statistically significant. Nonsurgical residents were found to have a higher perception of stress which was statistically significant (13.40 ± 7.10 vs. 21.12 ± 7.52) (P = 0.01).

Conclusion:
The significant trait variance supports the concept of surgical personality.

Published: November 2021

Fluoroquinolones (FQs), especially Pefloxacin (PEF) have been reported to increase risk of Achilles tendon rupture. However, prior studies showed that intrasound therapy (ITR) significantly improved the morphology of the healing tendon. This study aimed to compare the effects of 7, 14 and 21 days intrasound treatment on the mechanical properties and morphology of the Achilles tendon in fifty (50) male Sprague-Dawley rats induced with FQ and randomized into three main categories designated as Normal control (A), Experimental control (B) and Treatment groups (C). All animals in groups B and C were orally administered PEF 400mg/kg in a fixed volume of 2.5 ml/kg daily for 6 consecutive days. The Achilles tendon of both hind limbs in group C were treated with the lowest intensity ITR 5 minutes daily for 7, 14 and 21 consecutive days. All the animals were serially sacrificed on days 8, 15 and 22 and the tendons excised and processed. Data were analyzed with RSTUDIO version 4.0.02 and the level of significance set at 0.05. Kruskal Wallis showed no significant differences (p >0.05) in all the biomechanical parameters across all the groups. Compared with group B, ITR 14 days treatment had the best improvement in all biomechanical variables, though insignificant (p>0.05). In the Intrasound groups, there were significant positive correlations of Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) with ultimate tensile stress and tensile load (p= 0.005; p=0.003) respectively. Intrasound treatment to the Achilles tendon for 14 days improved the mechanical properties and morphology of tendons in Fluoroquinolone-induced tendinopathy.

Tear secretion is an integral component of the ocular surface physiology; when compromised (quantitatively or qualitatively) lead to Dry eye syndrome with several ocular symptoms and ultimately the patient may end up in corneal blindness. The symptoms of Dry eye syndrome are similar to the disease Shushkakshipaka (ocular surface inflammatory syndrome) in Ayurveda. Vata & Pitta vitiation as per Ayurveda viewpoint are the major contributing pathological factors in its manifestation. Although a number of researches have been carried out and are still continuing, no curative treatment has been achieved yet. This paper aims to establish the efficacy of Haridradwayadi Rasakriyanjana during the clinical observation of a 55 years old female subject who was diagnosed with Shushkakshipaka. She was administered with the drug Haridradwayadi Ghrita in the form of Rasakriyanjana (semi-solid collyrium) drops topically for 30 days, by using subjective and objective assessment criteria which showed a significant result. After the treatment, majority of the symptoms reduced considerably and during the follow up concluded that there was no aggravation of the same.

Published: November 2021

Objective. To assess the effects of different physiotherapy methods in individuals with cervicogenic headache.
Methods. 20 subjects with cervicogenic headaches have been studied. Subjects were randomized to two groups of 10 subjects. The first group of subjects underwent physiotherapy with post – isometric relaxation, the second group – physiotherapy in combination with vibration. Before and after the interventions, pain intensity, neck disability index, active cervical range of motion and neck muscle strength were evaluated in all subjects.
Results. Physiotherapy reduces the intensity of pain (from strong and very strong to moderate intensity), improves neck function (from severe to moderate disability), increases active cervical range of motion by four to six degrees and increases neck muscle strength (p < 0,05). When comparing results between groups, no statistically significant difference in results were observed (p > 0,05).
Conclusion: Complex physiotherapy in combination with post – isometric relaxation or vibration helps to improve the function of individual neck, increase active cervical range of motion and strength of muscle strength.
Effecten van gespreksonderwerpen en buitenstaanders op omzetgroei van MKB-ondernemingen
Authors: Postema Jan 
Published: November 2021

Het thema van dit artikel is het verklaren van de omzetgroei van MKB-ondernemingen uit (1) de gespreksonderwerpen van MKB-ondernemers met buitenstaanders, (2) het wel versus niet in gesprek zijn van MKB-ondernemers met buitenstaanders, (3) het in gesprek zijn van MKB-ondernemers met betaalde versus niet-betaalde buitenstaanders en (4) de combinatie van de gespreksonderwerpen met betaalde versus niet-betaalde buitenstaanders.
Nieuw voor de literatuur over de betekenis van het in gesprek zijn van MKB-ondernemers met buitenstaanders om omzetgroei te realiseren is het verklaren van de omzetgroei van MKB-ondernemingen uit twee van de vier onderdelen van het thema, te weten: (1) de gespreksonderwerpen van MKB-ondernemers met buitenstaanders en (4) de combinatie van de gespreksonderwerpen met betaalde versus niet-betaalde buitenstaanders. Het verklaren van de omzetgroei van MKB-ondernemingen uit (2) het wel versus niet in gesprek zijn van MKB-ondernemers met buitenstaanders en uit (3) het in gesprek zijn van MKB-ondernemers met betaalde versus niet-betaalde buitenstaanders kan gezien worden als het testen van verbanden die eerder zijn onderzocht. Ad (2) en (3) vormen een aanvulling op het in dit artikel onderzoeken van de verbanden die als nieuw voor deze literatuur worden beschouwd.
Uit het verrichte onderzoek komt naar voren dat het in gesprek zijn over de onderwerpen “prestaties van het personeel” en “fusie en overname” een positief effect hebben op de omzetgroei. Het wel versus niet in gesprek zijn van MKB-ondernemers met buitenstaanders heeft geen positief effect op de omzetgroei. Het in gesprek zijn van MKB-ondernemers met betaalde buitenstaanders versus niet-betaalde buitenstaanders heeft wel een positief effect op de omzetgroei. Het in gesprek zijn van MKB-ondernemers met betaalde versus niet-betaalde buitenstaanders heeft geen positief effect op de relatie tussen de gespreksonderwerpen en de omzetgroei.

Coated monolith/foam catalysts are promising materials for chemistry applications due to structured reactor configuratiions providing low expansion coefficient, good thermal stability and low pressure loss. In this study, powedered Ni(0)/La2O3 catalysts in perovskite structures, were deposited on cordierite monolith substrates (2MgO-2Al2O3-5SiO2) by dip-coating method. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption, XRD, TPR-H2 analysis. The activity of structured catalysts with various powder loadings (4, 8, 12, 20 and 30 wt %) were evaluated in combined Steam-CO2 reforming reaction (CH4/CO2/H2O = 2/1/2 vol%) at GHSV = 60.000 h-1. XRD and TPR results showed that the active phase LaNiO3 were mainly Ni and La2O3 distributed on the surface of cordierite channels after air calcination of 850oC, 3 hours and hydrogen reduction of 600oC, 2 hours . The conversion of methane and CO2 on monolith catalysts, with proper active sites loadings of 12 – 20 wt%, were close to 80 vol% at 800oC. At the same reaction amount of active sites, the feedstock conversion on LaNiO3/monolith (12 %wt LaNiO3/monolith) was significantly higher than on corresponding powdered type, respectively 1.6 times of CH4, 1.8 times of CO2 conversion.

Anti-violence education implemented in various educational environment, equally important the family environment. The impact of violence against spiritual emotional intelligence development of children leads to the negative things. Include that realize or not, violence that showed by parents have instilled hatred and excessive fear in children. Violence will infuse stubborn and rude in children, give wound in the hearts of children until they are adults. Islam teaches anti-violence education, especially on the early chilhood education, have to carry out with great affection. Many verses of the holy Koran which instruct to educate children with affection. The term like qaulan layyinan, qaulan ma'rufan and so on are some command to teach and interact with students full with love and through the good ways.

Pendidikan anti kekerasan diterapkan di berbagai lingkungan pendidikan, dan tidak kalah pentingnya yaitu lingkungan keluarga. Dampak kekerasan orang tua terhadap perkembangan kecerdasan emosional spiritual anak ini mengarah pada hal-hal yang negatif. Dampak tersebut diantaranya adalah: sadar atau tidak kekerasan yang dilakukan orang tua telah menanamkan kebencian dan rasa takut yang berlebihan pada diri anak. Kekerasan akan menanamkan sifat keras dan sikap kasar pada diri anak, membekaskan luka di hati anak hingga mereka dewasa. Islam mengajarkan pendidikan yang bersifat anti kekerasan, apalagi dalam konteks mendidik anak usia dini, dilakukan dengan penuh kasih sayang. Banyak ayat al-Qurâ€™an yang memerintahkan mendidik anak dengan kasih sayang kepada putra-putranya yang masih kecil. Bahasa qaulan layyinan, qaulan maâ€™rufan dan sebagainya merupakan perintah untuk mendidik dan berinteraksi dengan anak didik dengan penuh kasih sayang dan cara yang baik.

Este estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica com o objetivo de analisar os índices de sobrevida em pacientes que sofrem parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) e identificar ações que melhoram o prognóstico de sobrevida em eventos cardiorrespiratórios. De acordo com estudos, as estatísticas de morbidade e mortalidade envolvendo essa emergência cardiovascular são altas e se revelam quase imutáveis ao longo dos anos. Devido a isso, os casos de PCR extra e intra-hospitalar necessitam de análises complexas, tendo em vista que cada cenário possui condições distintas. No contexto dessa emergência, nota-se que o tempo é um fator de suma importância. É relevante destacar que a sobrevida dos pacientes depende da aplicação de suportes e protocolos, estruturados a partir da junção de algorítimos que seguem um sequenciamento lógico com condutas que visam a aumentar a chance de revesibilidade desse evento. Sob essa perspectiva, esta pesquisa, que consiste em uma revisão integrativa, reúne resultados obtidos sobre um mesmo assunto, sintetizando e analisando informações a fim de desenvolver uma explicação mais abrangente sobre o tema específico.

Abstract. Although the concepts of nonuniform sampling (NUS​​​​​​​) and non-Fourier spectral reconstruction in multidimensional NMR began to emerge 4 decades ago (Bodenhausen and Ernst, 1981; Barna and Laue, 1987), it is only relatively recently that NUS has become more commonplace. Advantages of NUS include the ability to tailor experiments to reduce data collection time and to improve spectral quality, whether through detection of closely spaced peaks (i.e., “resolution”) or peaks of weak intensity (i.e., “sensitivity”). Wider adoption of these methods is the result of improvements in computational performance, a growing abundance and flexibility of software, support from NMR spectrometer vendors, and the increased data sampling demands imposed by higher magnetic fields. However, the identification of best practices still remains a significant and unmet challenge. Unlike the discrete Fourier transform, non-Fourier methods used to reconstruct spectra from NUS data are nonlinear, depend on the complexity and nature of the signals, and lack quantitative or formal theory describing their performance. Seemingly subtle algorithmic differences may lead to significant variabilities in spectral qualities and artifacts. A community-based critical assessment of NUS challenge problems has been initiated, called the “Nonuniform Sampling Contest” (NUScon), with the objective of determining best practices for processing and analyzing NUS experiments. We address this objective by constructing challenges from NMR experiments that we inject with synthetic signals, and we process these challenges using workflows submitted by the community. In the initial rounds of NUScon our aim is to establish objective criteria for evaluating the quality of spectral reconstructions. We present here a software package for performing the quantitative analyses, and we present the results from the first two rounds of NUScon. We discuss the challenges that remain and present a roadmap for continued community-driven development with the ultimate aim of providing best practices in this rapidly evolving field. The NUScon software package and all data from evaluating the challenge problems are hosted on the NMRbox platform.
