Authors: Mohammed Haval Faris , Yousif Othman Sami , Ismaeel Shakawan M. 
Published: June 2021

Background:
Abdominal trauma, both penetrating and blunt, is a major public health concern worldwide. Trauma, especially abdominal trauma is increasing due to urbanization and industrialization including road traffic accidents. To decrease morbidity and mortality rate from intra-abdominal organ injury as a result of blunt abdominal trauma (BAT), physicians have to have a high suspicious of organ injury in any case presented with BAT because any delay in the diagnosis conversely affects the prognosis of the patient.

Objective:
The aim of this study was to determine the number of patients who had surgical operative intervention because of BAT, to investigate the mortality rate among patients with abdominal trauma, and to determine the hospital outcome of BAT.

Materials and Methods:
This was an observational retrospective study of 60 cases during 1-year duration (2016–2017) at Rozhalat Emergency Hospital, Erbil, Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Results:
48 cases were( male 80%), 12 were( female 20%), with a male to female ratio of 4:1, and the mean age was 24,80. Majority of cases (36/60) were managed conservatively, while 24 cases had surgery. The overall majority of cases (50/60) had a good outcome discharged home safely but 10 cases died. The most common intra-abdominal organ injury was the spleen.

Conclusions:
Most cases were managed conservatively, with overall mortality rate of 16.7%, all the mortality (10/60) was among the operated cases (24/60) cases.

Published: June 2021

Introduction:
The arrival of a newborn brings a mixture of excitement and anxiety, due to a wide variation in physical and physiologic findings. Neonatal morbidity and mortality remain alarmingly high in North-western Nigeria, and failure to recognize a sick neonate that needs medical attention contributes to these dire statistics. Therefore, an understanding of the variations of newborn parameters allows health-care personnel to address families' concerns and support parents.

Materials and Methods:
The study was a retrospective descriptive review of birth records, of live neonates delivered at a tertiary hospital who were referred for a pediatrician's assessment and subsequently certified stable and fit for discharge. Their parameters were described, and sub-groups were compared.

Results:
There were 224 newborns examined, with a male:female ratio of 1:1.1. Majority (99.1%) of the babies were examined within 24 h of life, and the mode of delivery was through cesarean section in 70.1% of the newborns. Their mean gestational age was 39.3 (±1.2 standard deviation [SD]) weeks, with 37 (16.5%) late preterm and 187 (83.5%) term babies. They had birth weight 3.1 kg (±0.6 SD) and 2.6 (±0.6 SD), P = 0.0001; length 49.2 cm (±2.9 SD) and 47.0 (±3.0 SD), P = 0.017; occipitofrontal circumference 34.6 cm (±1.7SD) and 33.6 (±1.3 SD), P = 0.001; respiratory rate 52 (±12 SD) and 54 (±14 SD), cycles (cpm) P = 0.291; heart rate 141 (±13SD) and 145 (±15SD) beats (bpm), P = 0.129; for the term and late preterm babies, respectively.

Conclusions:
Referred newborns who were assessed and certified stable and discharged, had comparable parameters, with average respiratory rate of 51 cycles, and heart rate of 140 beats. There were no statistical differences in the vital signs between late preterm and term newborns.

Authors: Faruk Jamilu Abdullahi , Abubakar Yakubu , Ahmad Hafsat Rufai , Isa Abdulkadir 
Published: June 2021

Context:
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought about public health safety measures of social distancing and avoidance of crowded gatherings. These led to widespread disruptions in activities of daily living, as well as routine health-care services and learning activities. There has been a noticeable move to the online domain as the platform for teaching and learning.

Aims:
The present study aimed to describe the online learning and teaching experiences of postgraduate medical doctors in Nigerian hospitals.

Subjects and Methods:
The study was a cross-sectional online survey sent to medical doctors across social media platforms, and it sought to find out the current number of hours utilized and modalities of their online educational media use.

Results:
A total of 116 doctors responded and completed the survey, with 74 (63.8%) and 104 (89.6%) of them having some webinar experience before and during the pandemic, respectively. At least 82 (70.4%) had 1–5 h of online learning activities each week, and an overwhelming 114 (98.2%) used a personal Internet data subscription to access online educational material. In addition, 56 (48.3%) felt that online learning was less rewarding than in-person interactions even though 93 (80.2%) found the online learning activities to be quite convenient. Poor Internet connectivity was cited as a major challenge to a successful online learning experience in 80 (68.9%).

Conclusion:
Although the COVID-19 pandemic restricted face-to-face human contact including learning activities, postgraduate medical education has filled the void by increasing online learning activities, resulting in an admixture of experiences and reactions.

Published: June 2021

Background:
The use of preincision low-dose ketamine as a preemptive analgesic modality has been widely suggested. However, findings from previous studies have remained inconclusive.

Materials and Methods:
Eighty-two patients scheduled to have elective thyroidectomy under general anesthesia were recruited. The patients were randomly allocated into one of two groups, to receive either 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine intravenously or an equal volume of normal saline, 10 min before surgical incision. At the end of surgery, pain scores, time to first request for analgesic and total opioid requirement in 24 h postoperatively were recorded.

Results:
There was no significant difference in the postoperative pain scores, time to first requirement for analgesic, postoperative opioid consumption and satisfaction with analgesia between the two groups. The median pain scores at recovery, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively for the ketamine and saline groups were not significantly different (P values 0.208, 0.185, 0.412, 0.590, and 0.854 respectively). The times to first request for analgesic were 86.00 ± 56.58 min in the ketamine group and 79.90 ± 68.05 min in the saline group (P = 0.357). The 24-h opioid (morphine) consumptions were 11.00 ± 3.16 mg in the ketamine group and 13.21 ± 5.87 mg in the control group (P = 0.275).

Conclusion:
This study concluded that the administration of preincision low-dose ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) did not produce a preemptive analgesic effect in patients who had an elective thyroidectomy.

Abstract:
Research related to patient expectations has existed, but not specifically in Indonesia, especially in Jambi. For this reason, this study is aimed, firstly, to find out the patient's opinion on how doctors deliver bad news according to the SPIKES stage. The second objective was to explore patients' opinions regarding their expectations about the way doctors communicate bad news, namely cancer diagnosis and prognosis in breast cancer patients, taking into account the SPIKES protocol. This case study research uses a qualitative approach. Research in the city of Jambi in January - November 2019, used interviews with eight informants, namely female patients who saw an oncologist (cancer). Interviews were conducted with each informant and also to the group. Doctors only use some stages, namely stages, interview, giving knowledge, strategy, and summary. The patients studied think that the doctor passes through stages, perception, and invitation. There was a large tendency in the Emotions with the empathic response stage, patients who felt that they were given attention to the patient's emotional condition with an empathetic response, only a small proportion did not feel the doctor's empathic response. Expectations of patients, doctors pay attention to the stages of SPIKES as well as the dimensions of content and dimensions of relationships in delivering bad news about a diagnosis of the disease.

A Maximum Cardinality Cut Algorithm for Co-bipartite and Split Graphs Using Bimodular Decomposition
Authors: BOYACI Arman , SHALOM Mordechai 
Published: June 2021

The maximum cardinality cut (MaxCut) problem remains NP-complete for co-bipartite graphs and
for split graphs. Based on modular decomposition, in [3] it is shown that MaxCut is polynomial-time solvable for graphs that are factorable to bounded treewidth graphs. However, this approach fails in co-bipartite graphs because the modules of a co-bipartite graph are exactly twins and connected components. In this work we extend the result of [3] to co-bipartite graphs using the concept of bimodules and bimodular decomposition proposed in [6]. Namely, we show thatMaxCut is polynomial-time solvable for co-bipartite graphs that can be factored to bounded treewidth graphs using bimodular decomposition.

Published: June 2021

Finding the minimum distance of linear codes is one of the main problems in coding theory. The importance of the minimum distance comes from its error-correcting and error-detecting capability of the handled codes.
It was proven that this problem is an NP-hard that is the solution of this problem can be guessed and verified in polynomial time but no particular rule is followed to make the guess and some meta-heuristic approaches in the literature have been used to solve this problem.
In this paper, swarm-based optimization techniques, bat and firefly, are applied to the minimum distance problem by integrating the algebraic operator to the handled algorithms.

Published: June 2021

In this article, an approximate analytical series solution of Modeling the
pollution of a lake system is given. Laplace-Adomian decomposition method
(LADM) was used for the serial solution. LADM with different input values has
been used for the solution. The solutions obtained by LADM were compared with
the results obtained by Fourth Order Runge Method. In addition, the results are
compared with residual errors. These comparisons show that LADM is a powerful
method for obtaining approximate solutions to the problem of modeling the
pollution of a lake system.
