Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 and its associated restrictions and closures provided challenges to health professions education programs in creating suitable clinical experiences to allow consolidation and application of the concepts learned from the classroom. While in situ simulation has been well-established for continuing education with active clinical teams, there is a paucity in literature describing the integration of health professions learners in an in situ simulation. This created an opportunity to integrate learners from paramedic and postgraduate emergency nursing programs to participate in an in situ simulation with active clinical team members of an Canadian academic tertiary trauma center. A series of high fidelity simulations were designed and implemented with paramedic learners performing the initial assessment and management in the prehospital phase and subsequently handing over to a receiving team inside a trauma center. Preliminary feedback solicited from participants indicated that this was a valuable learning experience and provided an opportunity to practice technical and nontechnical skills.

Tin mining tailings consist of 80-90% sand and the rest mud. The high levels of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in these tailings are hard and can be used as an added material in the manufacture of composites. This research aims to study the physical and mechanical properties of metal matrix composites reinforced with SiO2 powder processed by powder metallurgy, as an effort to provide a replacement material for Non-Asbestos (NOB) motorbike brake linings. The impact of hot compaction pressure in the form of two pressing directions, including 4600, 4500 and 4400 Psi, with a pressing hold of 15 minutes and sintering which includes 30, 20 and 10 minutes, at a temperature of 600 ºC was studied for its effect on hardness and density. Mechanical blending was used with a horizontal ball mill in the ratio of 10:1 at a speed of 90 rpm for 4 hours. The test results showed that the greater the hot compaction pressure and the longer the sintering, the higher the hardness and density values. The highest hardness reached 81.7 HB and the highest density of 2.385 g/cm3 occurred at a bidirectional hot compaction pressure of 4600 Psi, with the lowest wear rate of 0.333 mm3/m. This occurs as a result of the increase in hot compaction has an impact on increasing the contact between powder particles resulting from mechanical alloying to be tighter as a result of which the cavity and porosity decrease

Published: October 2024

Despite living in an era of increasingly advanced digital technology, students still face significant challenges in academic writing, particularly in developing knowledge and writing skills of academic papers at a college level. This study aimed to highlight challenges faced by students in academic writing activities and how they solved the problems. The subjects of this research were five 3rd year students of the English Department of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan. The data of this study were collected by using observation, interviews, and focus group discussion (FGD) techniques. NVivo software was employed as the data analysis tool to make it easier for the researchers to determine the theme of the interview results. The findings show that the most challenging aspects of academic writing are the lack of vocabulary and the lack of skills in writing academic papers. The third year students of the English Department of Ahmad Dahlan University faced challenges in academic writing due to their lack of vocabulary and skills, however they use digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to overcome this problem.

Authors: Mrozowska-Nyckowska Karolina , Paradowska-Stankiewicz Iwona 
Published: October 2024

BackgroundMumps, also known as Sudden parotitis, is a viral disease whose main source of infection is the sick/infected person. It posed a serious public health threat in Poland before the introduction of mandatory vaccination. In 2003, Poland introduced the Immunization Program, which included a two-dose vaccination against mumps as part of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine for all children.ObjectiveThe study aimed to assess the epidemiological situation of mumps in Poland in 2022 compared to previous years, including an analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.Material and methodsThe analysis of the epidemiological situation of mumps in Poland in 2022 was based on the interpretation of data published in the annual bulletin: "Infectious Diseases and Poisonings in Poland in 2022" and "Vaccinations in Poland in 2022".ResultsIn 2022, 922 cases of mumps were registered in Poland. This was a 90.5% increase compared to 2021 when 484 cases were recorded. The total incidence was 2.4 per 100,000 residents, 84.6% higher than in 2021. The highest incidence of 3.4 per 100 000 residents was registered in the Mazowieckie voivodeship, and the lowest, as in the previous year, was 1.0/100 000 residents in the Dolnośląskie voivodeship. The highest incidence (12.9/100 000) was recorded in children aged 0-4 and 5-9 (16.1/100 000). The incidence in men (3.0/100 000) was higher than in women (1.9/100 000). In 2022, the number of hospitalizations for mumps in Poland was 20, an increase of 122.2% compared to 2021, when 9 people were hospitalized.ConclusionsThe year 2022 showed an overall upward trend in registered mumps cases. The decrease in the number of mumps cases in 2021 was a result of the ongoing pandemic. The restrictions implemented during the pandemic period contributed to a decrease in the number of cases of various droplet-transmitted diseases, including mumps. Still, the observed number of mumps cases in 2022 remains below levels observed during the pre-pandemic COVID-19 period (2019).

ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare clinical outcomes and prognosis of endoscopic thyroidectomy via axillary approach using insufflation and gasless methods.MethodsRetrospective analysis included patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy at our institution from June 2022 to October 2023. Patients were categorized into insufflation and gasless groups. Analysis compared surgical time, blood loss, drainage volume, tube removal time, hospital stay, complications, pain score, and incision satisfaction.Results73 patients (48 insufflation, 25 gasless) were analyzed. Insufflation technique showed significantly superior outcomes: shorter surgery duration, reduced drainage volume, earlier tube removal, shorter hospital stay, and higher incision satisfaction (all P &lt; 0.05). Postoperative pain (VAS) was lower in insufflation group on first day, but no significant difference on seventh day. No significant differences in blood loss or complications were observed.ConclusionInsufflation technique offers advantages over gasless method including shorter operation time, reduced drainage, earlier tube removal, and shorter hospital stays, with comparable outcomes in pain and incision satisfaction.

BackgroundRett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that involves mainly girls and is the second most frequent cause of genetic intellectual disability. RTT leads to neurological regression between 6 and 18 months of life and could be associated with a variable neurological impairment. However, RTT affects not only neurological function but also wide aspects of non-neurological organs. Recent data showed that the endocrine system is often involved in RTT patients, including disorders of growth, bone health, thyroid, puberty onset, and weight abnormalities However, systematic data on endocrinopathies in RTT are scarce and limited.ObjectiveThis review aims to analyze the prevalence and type of endocrine comorbidities in RTT population, to allow a precocious diagnosis and appropriate endocrinological management.MethodsSystematic research was carried out from January 2000 to March 2024 through MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library.ResultsAfter the selection phase, a total of 22 studies (1090 screened) met the inclusion criteria and were reported in the present review. Five studies were observational-retrospective, four were cross-sectional and case report or series, three were survey, prospective, and case-control, and finally one study for descriptive-transversal and longitudinal population-based study. The sample population consisted of multiethnic groups or single ethnic groups. The main endocrinopathies reported were malnutrition, bone alterations, and alterations of puberty onset.ConclusionsOur analysis shows that endocrinopathies are not rare in RTT patients. Therefore, in the context of a multidisciplinary approach, accurate screening and monitoring for endocrinopathies should be recommended in all RTT patients, to improve clinical practice, healthcare management, and, finally, patients’ quality of life.

Published: October 2024

ObjectiveThe present study sought to evaluate the relationship between age-related cataracts, a prevalent ocular condition among the elderly, and the occurrence of depressive symptoms within a cohort of Chinese adults residing in Anhui, China.MethodsA survey involving 252 Chinese individuals aged 65 years and older was conducted at Lu’an People’s Hospital. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) consisting of 17 items, while age-related cataracts were clinically classified according to the Lens Opacities Classification System (LOCS) III. Depressive symptoms were identified by a HAMD score exceeding 7. Logistic regression analyses were employed to determine the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) pertaining to the association between age-related cataracts and depressive symptoms.ResultsCataract patients aged 65 years and older had significantly higher scores of depressive symptoms than those under 65 years (mean scores of 8.17 ± 3.26 versus 5.18 ± 1.86, p &lt; 0.001). In addition, patients aged 65 years and above exhibited a diminished quality of life relative to patients aged under 65 years. The findings indicated that adults experiencing depressive symptoms reported lower monthly incomes (p = 0.036), lower educational attainment (p = 0.044), and living alone (p = 0.007). Furthermore, fewer elderly patients with depressive symptoms received surgical treatment (15 patients) than those without depressive symptoms (61 patients), with a significant difference (p = 0.011). Multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of depressive symptoms was significantly correlated with a lack of formal education (p = 0.048), reduced income (p = 0.003), solitary living arrangements (p = 0.025), and the presence of cataracts without surgical intervention (p = 0.007).ConclusionThese findings suggested a significant association between age-related cataracts and depressive symptoms among older adults. Specifically, cataracts that remain untreated surgically were notably linked to depression in elderly patients. It is recommended that initiatives and resources be directed toward surgical treatment programs for cataracts in individuals exhibiting depressive symptoms.

IntroductionPreviously, we showed that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid n-3 (PUFA) supplementation improved the performance of postpartum rats in the shuttle box escape test (SBET).MethodsThe brains of these rats were used in the current study which examined brain cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) activity in white matter bundles and 39 regions spanning sensorimotor, limbic, and cognitive areas to determine the effects of n-3 PUFAs on neural metabolic capacity and network interactions.ResultsWe found that n-3 PUFA supplementation decreased CCO activity in white matter bundles, deep and superficial areas within the inferior colliculus, the anterior and barrel field regions of the primary somatic sensorimotor cortex, the secondary somatic sensorimotor cortex, the lateral, anterior regions of the secondary visual cortex and the ventral posterior nucleus of the thalamus, and the medial nucleus of the amygdala. Structural equation modeling revealed that animals consuming diets without n-3 PUFAs exhibited fewer inter-regional interactions when compared to those fed diets with n-3 PUFAs. Without n-3 PUFAs, inter-regional interactions were observed between the posterior cingulate cortex and amygdala as well as among amygdala subregions. With n-3 PUFAs, more inter-regional interactions were observed, particularly between regions associated with fear memory processing and escape. Correlations between regional CCO activity and SBET behavior were observed in rats lacking dietary n-3 PUFAs but not in those supplemented with these nutrients.DiscussionIn conclusion, consumption of n-3 PUFAs results in reduced CCO activity in white matter bundles and sensorimotor regions, reflecting more efficient neurotransmission, and an increase in inter-regional interactions, facilitating escape from footshock.

BackgroundHypoalbuminemia is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with various adverse clinical events. Currently, there are few studies focused on identifying risk factors and constructing models for hypoalbuminemia in patients with CKD stages 3 and 4. This study aims to identify independent risk factors for hypoalbuminemia in patients with CKD stages 3 and 4 and construct a nomogram for predicting the risk of hypoalbuminemia in these patients.MethodsA total of 237 patients with CKD stages 3 and 4 treated at Anning First People’s Hospital from January to December 2023 were included. Univariate and bidirectional stepwise multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for hypoalbuminemia in these patients. Based on the results of logistic regression analyses, a nomogram was constructed. The model performance was assessed using area under the receiver operator characteristic curve, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis.ResultsHemoglobin, red blood cells, serum sodium, and serum calcium were identified as independent risk factors for hypoalbuminemia in these patients. The contributions of each independent risk factor to hypoalbuminemia were visualized in a nomogram. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of the model was 0.819, indicating good discrimination. The calibration curves showed good agreement between predicted and observed outcomes. The decision curve analysis also verified that the model had the good clinical utility.ConclusionHemoglobin, red blood cells, serum sodium, and serum calcium were identified as independent risk factors of hypoalbuminemia in patients with CKD stages 3 and 4. The nomogram exhibits good discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility, offering a reliable tool for the early prediction and identification of hypoalbuminemia in these patients.

Published: October 2024

BackgroundWe found that a subset of patients with monoclonal gammopathy exhibited hypercalcemia without apparent causes or clinical manifestations In a cohort of 289 monoclonal gammopathy patients, 2.4% presented with such atypical hypercalcemia, with one notable case exhibiting normal ionized calcium levels, suggesting the presence of pseudohypercalcemia.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to elucidate the factors contributing to pseudohypercalcemia in monoclonal gammopathy and to develop a novel globulin-corrected calcium formula for clinical application.MethodsThis observational study enrolled 110 monoclonal gammopathy patients from our center. An additional 33 patients were recruited to validate the newly proposed formula. Univariate analysis identified potential risk factors. And multivariate logistic regression identified definitive influential factors. The determined influential factors were utilized to develop a formula by multiple linear regression, which was validated by a paired t-test and the Youden index.ResultsThis study found that globulin was a risk factor for pseudohypercalcemia. It revealed that pseudohypercalcemia should be considered in patients with globulin levels ≥61 g/L (P=0.014). Both albumin and globulin were confirmed as independent factors associated with bound calcium. Given that, we developed a formula to correct ionized calcium levels, which was consistent with ionized calcium tested by blood gas analysis. The diagnostic accuracy of the new formula (Youden index is 0.906) is better than the traditional formula (Youden index is 0.906). Interestingly, all monoclonal immunoglobulin types, except for light chains, showed an equal propensity to develop pseudohypercalcemia (P=0.306). It also showed a linear correlation between IgA, IgG, and IgM and bound calcium.ConclusionThis study confirmed that elevated globulin affects serum total calcium and offered the threshold of globulin ≥ 61 g/L in the differential diagnosis of peudohypercalcemia from hypercalcemia. The new formula based on albumin and globulin was developed, which was verified to be better than the traditional formula for correctly diagnosing hypercalcemia. In addition, we found that neither light chains nor heavy chains of monoclonal immunoglobulin alone can result in pseudohypercalcemia.
