Background: This study aims to identify the risk factors and reasons for treatment abandonment for patients with esophageal atresia (EA) in a tertiary care hospital in China.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 360 patients with EA admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital between January 1, 2007 and June 1, 2020. Medical records for treatment abandonment and non-treatment abandonment patients were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify potential risk factors for treatment abandonment.Results: After the diagnosis of EA, parents of 107 patients refused surgical repair and discharged against medical advice, and 253 patients underwent surgical repair. Among these 253 patients, parents of 59 patients abandoned treatment after surgery; 52 patients were discharged in an unstable condition, and parents of seven patients abandoned resuscitation leading to death in the hospital. By comparing clinical characteristics between treatment abandonment before surgery (n = 107) and non-treatment abandonment (n = 253) groups, we found that mother's parity &gt;1, unplanned admission to intensive care unit before surgery, associated anomalies, and Gross type A/B were significant independent risk factors for treatment abandonment before surgery. Furthermore, birth weight &lt;2,545 g, being discharged from neonatal center/intensive care unit and other departments, unplanned admission to intensive care unit after surgery, operative time &gt;133 min, admission before 2016, pneumothorax, and anastomotic leakage were significant independent risk factors for treatment abandonment after surgery. The reasons for treatment abandonment included financial difficulties, multiple malformations with poor prognosis, belief of incurability and concerns about the prognosis of the diseases, postoperative complications, and extensive length of intensive care unit stay.Conclusions: Treatment abandonment of children with EA/TEF is still a common and serious problem in China. This study showed that EA/TEF patients in critical conditions, with associated anomalies, Gross type A/B, and who had occurrence of complications had high-risk for treatment abandonment.
State of the Art in Parent-Delivered Pain-Relieving Interventions in Neonatal Care: A Scoping Review
Authors: Ullsten Alexandra , Andreasson Matilda , Eriksson Mats 
Published: April 2021

Introduction:Parents' active involvement during painful procedures is considered a critical first step in improving neonatal pain practices. Of the non-pharmacological approaches in use, the biopsychosocial perspective supports parent-delivered interventions, in which parents themselves mediate pain relief, consistent with modern family-integrated care. This scoping review synthesizes the available research to provide an overview of the state of the art in parent-delivered pain-relieving interventions.Methods:A scoping review was performed to achieve a broad understanding of the current level of evidence and uptake of parent-driven pain- and stress-relieving interventions in neonatal care.Results:There is a strong evidence for the efficacy of skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding, preferably in combination. These parent-delivered interventions are safe, valid, and ready for prompt introduction in infants' pain care globally. Research into parents' motivations for, and experiences of, alleviating infant pain is scarce. More research on combined parent-delivered pain alleviation, including relationship-based interventions such as the parent's musical presence, is needed to advance infant pain care. Guidelines need to be updated to include infant pain management, parent-delivered interventions, and the synergistic effects of combining these interventions and to address parent involvement in low-income and low-tech settings.Conclusions:A knowledge-to-practice gap currently remains in parent-delivered pain management for infants' procedure-related pain. This scoping review highlights the many advantages of involving parents in pain management for the benefit not only of the infant and parent but also of health care.

Published: April 2021

Objective:This article studied the effect of breast milk supplemented with human milk fortifier (HMF) on the early recovery of infants after congenital cardiac surgery.Methods:Infants undergoing congenital cardiac surgery were randomly divided into an intervention group (n= 27) and a control group (n= 27). Infants in the intervention group received HMF, and those in the control group were exclusively breastfed. The nutritional indicators at discharge, the postoperative recovery status, and nutritional-related complications were recorded.Results:Compared with the control group at the time of discharge, the weight and albumin and prealbumin levels of the intervention group were significantly increased (P&lt; 0.05). The length of hospital stay of the intervention group was significantly reduced compared with that of the control group (P&lt; 0.05). Although the length of ICU stay for the intervention group was shorter than that of the control group, the difference was not significant (P&gt; 0.05). No significant difference in the incidence of postoperative nutrition-related complications was noted between the two groups (P&gt; 0.05).Conclusion:Compared with breastfeeding alone, with HMF can improve postoperative weight gains, reduce the length of stay, and promote infants' early recovery after congenital cardiac surgery.

Published: April 2021

Background: What is the spatial pattern of mortality by cause and sex in Brazil? Even considering the main causes of death, such as neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases, external causes, respiratory diseases, and infectious diseases, there are still important debate regarding the spatial pattern of mortality by causes in Brazil. Evidence shows that there is an overlap in transitional health states, due to the persistence of infectious diseases (e.g., dengue, cholera, malaria, etc.,) in parallel with the increase in chronic degenerative diseases. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the spatio-temporal evolution of three groups of causes of death in Brazil across small areas from 1998 to 2017, by sex.Methods: We use publicly available data from the System Data Mortality Information (SIM-DATASUS) from 1998 to 2017. We focus on this period due to the better quality of information, in addition to all deaths are registered following the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). We estimate standardized mortality rates by sex and cause aggregated into three main groups. We use a ternary color scheme to maximize all the information in a three-dimensional array of compositional data.Results: We find improvements in mortality from chronic degenerative diseases; faster declines are observed in the Southern regions of the country; but the persistence of high levels of mortality due to infectious diseases remained in the northern parts of the country. We also find impressive differences in external causes of deaths between males and females and an increase in mortality from these causes in the interior part of the country.Conclusions: This study provides useful information for policy makers in establishing effective measures for the prevention of deaths and public health planning for deaths from external and non-communicable causes. We observed how the distribution of causes of death varies across regions and how the patterns of mortality also vary by gender.
Time Pressure and Health-Related Loss of Productivity in University Students: The Mediating Role of Exhaustion
Authors: Gusy Burkhard , Lesener Tino , Wolter Christine 
Published: April 2021

Introduction: Being present at work when sick is not just prevalent in employees. Since university is also a demanding context, there is a growing interest in this phenomenon in university students. Especially students with mental health issues show a higher degree of productivity loss. However, little research has examined the causes of these productivity losses—especially in university students. Therefore, we examined health-related (burnout) and non-health-related (time pressure) aspects that lead to productivity losses in the long run.Methods: We decided to examine the effect from time pressure on health-related loss of productivity, mediated by exhaustion. This assumption is in line with the health impairment process proposed by the Study Demands-Resources (SD-R) framework. To examine this assumption properly, we conducted a longitudinal study with three occasions. We surveyed 392 students in three waves over 1 year and performed structural equation modeling (SEM) to confirm the assumptions longitudinally.Results: In line with our assumptions, time pressure predicted burnout which, in turn, predicted health-related loss of productivity in the long run. Hence—as assumed by the SD-R framework—burnout serves as a mediator between study demands and negative outcomes such as loss of productivity.Discussion: Our study is the first that uncovers health-related and non-health-related causes of health-related productivity loss in university students. Thus, we were able to confirm SD-R's health impairment process longitudinally. Since we know that time pressure serves as a major antecedent for burnout and health-related loss of productivity, we are well-advised to establish appropriate interventions to reduce students' time pressure.

Introduction: The purpose of the present paper is to provide step-by-step guidelines for dental healthcare providers to manage dental caries based upon caries risk assessment (CRA) for ages 0–6 years and 6 years through adult. The manuscript reviews and updates the CAMBRA (caries management by risk assessment) system which includes CRA and caries management recommendations that are guided by the assessed risk level.Caries Risk Assessment: CAMBRA CRA tools (CRAs) have been evaluated in several clinical outcomes studies and clinical trials. Updated CAMBRA CRAs for ages 0–6 years and 6 years through adult are provided. These CRAs have been refined by the addition of a quantitative method that will aid the health care provider in determining the caries risk of individuals.Caries Management Based Upon Risk Assessment: Guidelines for individualized patient care are provided based upon the caries risk status, results of clinical exams and responses of the patient to questions in the CRA. These guidelines are based upon successful outcomes documented in several clinical outcomes studies and clinical trials. The paper includes a review of successful caries management procedures for children and adults as previously published, with additional emphasis on correct use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) for children. The caries management plan for each individual is based upon reducing the caries risk factors and enhancing the protective factors with the additional aid of behavior modification. Beneficially altering the caries balance is coupled with minimal intervention restorative dentistry, if appropriate. These methods are appropriate for the management of dental caries in all patients.

Cause/antecedents/history (News Performance)
Authors: Humprecht Edda 
Published: April 2021

Field of application/theoretical foundation:
Analyses using the constructs cause/antecedents/history in news content are theoretically related to the news performance and democratic function of the media (McQuail, 1992). This construct is linked to professional standards and the normative assumption that the media should provide the audience with background information on current events and issues (Westerstahl, 1983). For example, news can be used to explain how a particular problem occurred, what happened beforehand and what the concrete reasons are for the current situation.
References/combination with other methods of data collection:
The analysis of reporting on the causes, background and history of events is complex and requires an understanding of the context and the relationships established by the journalist. As a result of this complexity, no automated measurement procedures have yet been developed.

Zooplankton has an important role as a linking chain between primary producers and biota at higher trophic levels. This organism is a component in the food chain that has a dual role as both the first consumer and the second consumer. They are intermediaries between plankton and nekton groups. This research was conducted at the field station of Fisheries and Marine Sciences Faculty of Sam Ratulangi University, which is located in Kampung Ambong, Likupang, North Minahasa Regency, to identify the species and to determine the structure of the Zooplankton community through: Density, Relative Density, Diversity (H '), Dominance (e ), and Uniformity (C). Based on the results of species identification, 20 species from 15 genera in 3 classes were obtained, namely Hexanauplia (13 genus 18 species), Crustacea (1 genus 1 species), and Malacostraca (1 genus 1 species). The results of the community structure analysis obtained moderate uniformity values at points 1, 2, and 3. The dominance index shows low values at all three points, where point 2 C = 0.17 and at points 1 and 3 C = 0.20 This means that there is no types of plankton that dominate the area. Temperature 28 ° C, Salinity 300/00, and pH = 7 indicate conditions that are still in a good range as a place to live and grow Zooplankton.Keywords: Zooplankton; Diversity; Community Structure; LikupangAbstrakZooplankton mempunyai peran penting sebagai rantai penghubung produser primer dengan biota pada tingkat trofik yang lebih tinggi, juga merupakan salah satu komponen dalam rantai makanan yang berperan ganda baik sebagai konsumen tingkat pertama maupun konsumen tingkat ke dua, selanjutnya merupakan penghubung antara plankton dan nekton. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Laboratorium Basah Fakultas Perikanan dan Ilmu Kelautan Universitas Sam Ratulangi, Kampung Ambong, Likupang, Kabupaten Minahasa Utara, untuk mengetahui jenis dan struktur komunitas Zooplankton melalui: Kepadatan, Kepadatan Relatif, Keanekaragaman (H’), Dominansi (e), dan Keseragaman (C). Berdasarkan hasil Identifikasi jenis, diperoleh 20 spesies dari 15 genus dalam 3 klas, yaitu Hexanauplia (13 genus 18 spesies), Crustacea (1 genus 1 spesies), dan Malacostraca (1 genus 1 spesies). Hasil analisis struktur komunitas diperoleh nilai keseragaman yang sedang pada titik 1, 2, dan 3. Indeks Dominansi menunjukkan nilai yang rendah pada ketiga titik, dimana titik 2 C = 0,17 dan pada titik 1 dan 3 C = 0,20 Artinya tidak terdapat jenis plankton yang mendominsi daerah tersebut. Suhu 28°C, Salinitas 300/00, dan pH= 7 menunjukkan kondisi yang masih dalam kisaran baik sebagai tempat hidup dan bertumbuhnya Zooplankton.Kata kunci: Zooplankton; Keanekaragaman; Struktur Komunitas; Likupang
