Enhancing adherence to diet therapy and fluid restrictions in hemodialysis patients: a study using the information-motivation-behavioral skills model
Authors: S Hi Arsan Zulhikmah , Sjattar Elly Lilianty , Arafat Rosyidah 
Published: November 2024

A common issue faced by many patients undergoing the Hemodialysis (HD) is non-compliance with diet therapy and fluid intake limitation. To address this issue, the educational model aims to change the required behavior of patients. The Information Motivation Behavior Skill (IMB) model is a behavioral intervention designed to promote behavior change in various situations. This study sought to assess how well the IMB educational model supports adherence to diet therapy and fluid restrictions in patients receiving HD. This study was carried out in the HD departments. It was a quasi-experimental study featuring a pretest and posttest design with a control group involving 80 patients. The participants were split into an intervention group that received education based on the Information Motivation Behavior Skill model(n = 40) and a control group that received standard hospital education according to standard operating procedures (n = 40). After eight dialysis sessions over a period not exceeding four weeks, participants were evaluated for adherence to diet therapy and fluid restrictions. Significant change in diet therapy and fluid restriction in the intervention group with the P-value of 0.001. In the control group, there is a significant change in diet therapy and fluid restriction with P-values of 0.005 and 0.002. There are no significant differences between the intervention and control groups in the pre-test for diet therapy and fluid restriction, with P-values of 0.221 and 0.146. However, in the post-test, there are significant differences between the intervention and control groups, with a P-value of 0.001. The Information Motivation Behavior Skill model of education shows great promise in promoting adherence to diet therapy and fluid restrictions.
Vaginal Bleeding in an Infant due to Extragonadal Germ Cell Tumor: A Case Report with Review of Literature
Authors: Assadi Ayesha Amanath , Maiti Dipshikha , Bandyopadhyay Debasish 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
The occurrence of germ cell tumors (GCTs) in the vagina is uncommon in children, with yolk sac tumors being the most commonly identified histological subtype in young female infants.

Clinical Description:
A 7-month-old baby girl was presented with gradually progressive painless vaginal bleeding for 2 weeks. The infant was otherwise thriving well with no evidence of any local or systemic abnormality or constitutional symptoms.

Management and Outcome:
The child’s initial laboratory investigations were normal except for mild anemia. Further tests revealed elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass in the vagina, which on cystovaginoscopic biopsy showed vaginal GCT. The patient was treated as per carboplatin (JM8), etoposide, and bleomycin (JEB) protocol. After the completion of the first cycle of chemotherapy, the infant responded well and was symptom-free.

Conclusion:
Vaginal bleeding in an otherwise healthy infant should raise suspicion of malignancy with GCT being a rare occurrence in this location. The present case highlights the success of the JEB protocol which is well tolerated by an infant.
Physical Activity in the Older Adults: A Review of the Benefits and Recommendations for Promoting Healthy Aging through Exercise
Authors: Indrakumar Jegarajah , Silva Shehan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This literature review examines the advantages of regular physical activity for older individuals, who often experience declines in physical and cognitive capabilities that impact their health and quality of life. Regular exercise has been demonstrated to counteract many age-related negative effects by improving cardiovascular health, including enhanced heart function, increased circulation, and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease while promoting longevity. In addition, resistance training is beneficial in preserving muscle mass and strength, which is crucial for maintaining independence and preventing falls. Furthermore, resistance training can improve bone density, preventing osteoporosis, and sarcopenia. Furthermore, physical activity supports brain health by promoting neurogenesis, preventing cerebral atrophy, and enhancing neuroplasticity, which can lead to improved cognition, memory, and executive function. Exercise can also alleviate the symptoms of depression and anxiety, significantly enhancing mental well-being. Virtual group-based exercise programs have been found to effectively reduce depressive symptoms and promote social engagement, combating loneliness and improving emotional well-being. The review emphasizes the extensive benefits of regular physical activity for older adults, including cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health improvements, cognitive function, and mental well-being. It recommends implementing tailored exercise programs and community-based initiatives and using technological tools to encourage and monitor physical activity among older individuals, which is vital for enhancing their quality of life.

Authors: Kant Ravi , Jha Dipesh , Karna Gaurav , Routhu Balachandra , Dhar Minakshi 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
Diabetes mellitus significantly impacts long-term cardiovascular disease, increasing elderly mortality and morbidity. Half of elderly diabetics are asymptomatic, with vague symptoms. Insulin resistance (IR) and pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction are central to diabetes pathophysiology. Gender differences in IR and beta-cell function are increasingly recognized in diabetes research.

Methods:
In 18-month observational cross-sectional study focusing on elderly patients (60+) done at tertiary hospital in North India included 32 diabetic and 32 healthy controls. Fasting blood sample of eligible subjects were sent for hemogram, hemoglobin A1c (HBA1c), blood glucose, and insulin. IR and beta-cell function were calculated using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) model and analyzed using SPSS, with P < 0.05.

Results:
The mean age of participants was 67.77 years and the average duration of having diabetes was 5.11 years. Median HOMA IR was significantly higher in cases compared to controls (4.23 vs 0.89, P < 0.05), while HOMA β was comparable. HOMA IR decreased with longer diabetes duration, with a more rapid decline in female subjects compared to males. Subgroup analysis showed IR increased with age and was higher in females.

Conclusion:
Our research highlights gender-based differences in IR in the geriatric age group. Elderly women had higher IR compared to men. These findings are significant in understanding gender-specific metabolic differences and tailoring interventions. Further research with a larger sample size is warranted to corroborate these findings.

Clinical Implication:
This study addresses the gap in research on IR and beta-cell function in the elderly, particularly in India. This research can be compared with past studies on other age groups, aiding in the development of tailored diabetes treatments and improving therapeutic strategies for the elderly.

Abstract
The accelerating pace of population aging in Asia poses significant challenges for health care and economies. As life expectancy increases and chronic diseases become more prevalent, understanding and addressing the healthcare needs of older adults is crucial. This review examines the key health issues affecting older adults in Asia, including nutritional status, mobility limitations, frailty, sarcopenia, mental, and cognitive health concerns. The authors conducted a mini-review of research on the health challenges faced by older adults in the region, drawing from a wide range of sources, including indexed and nonindexed journals and databases. The review highlights that aging in Asia is accompanied by a sharp rise in physical and mental health problems. While life expectancy in Asia has increased, many older adults experience declining physical and mental health, burdened by inadequate nutrition, frailty, and sarcopenia. Mental health issues, exacerbated by social isolation and limited access to services, are particularly prevalent in this population. The rapid pace of aging in Asia, coupled with the increased vulnerability of older adults and the lack of comprehensive national aging policies, highlight the region’s unpreparedness to address the challenges faced by older adults. This demands urgent actions. To ensure healthy aging, Asia must prioritize a comprehensive national policy that addresses physical and mental health, economic security, productive work, and social engagement. Investing early in the health of older adults, promoting healthy lifestyles, accessible and older adults’ friendly infrastructure, and integrated, holistic health care can reap long-term benefits, reducing healthcare burdens and improving quality of life.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Point-of-care ultrasound conducted by anesthesiologists plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of anesthesia. This study aims to evaluate the interobserver reliability of ultrasound measurements of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and aorta diameters in fasting pediatric patients undergoing spontaneous and controlled ventilation. Despite the prevalent use of indices for intravascular volume assessment, their accuracy varies depending on the observer’s expertise, particularly in pediatric cases. This research seeks to provide valuable insights into the interobserver reliability of ultrasound measurements in pediatric patients.

Material and Methods:
A single-center prospective observational study was conducted involving pediatric patients aged 1–12 years undergoing elective surgery. Ethical approval and written consent were obtained, with exclusions for major cardiovascular issues. Ultrasound measurements of IVC and aorta were performed by two observers during spontaneous and controlled ventilation in the subxiphoid transabdominal long-axis view. Reliability was assessed through statistical analyses, including the intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman analysis.

Results:
Mean values of IVC and aorta diameters were summarized for both observers during different ventilation modes. The intraclass correlation coefficient indicated excellent to good agreement between the observers for both spontaneous and controlled ventilation scenarios. Bland-Altman analysis revealed no fixed or proportional errors, confirming the reliability of the measurements.

Conclusions:
This study establishes the reliability of ultrasound measurements for assessing IVC and aorta in subxiphoid transabdominal long-axis view. The findings highlight the potential of this technique in pediatric anesthesia, even after brief training, providing valuable insights for clinical practice.
Comparison of hemodynamic responses to nasal intubation in cancer patients receiving opioid-free general anesthesia versus standard regimen
Authors: Rajan Sunil , Varghese Merin , Nair Anjali S. , Kumar Lakshmi 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Nasotracheal intubation evokes greater hemodynamic responses than oral intubation. We compared the heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) responses following nasal intubation during opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) using intravenous lignocaine versus standard regimen using morphine in cancer patients undergoing tumor resection.

Material and Methods:
This randomized, double-blinded study was conducted in 84 adults. Group A received lidocaine bolus 1.5 mg/kg over 10 min followed by infusion of 1 mg/kg/h. Group B received morphine 0.2mg/kg bolus over 10 min followed by infusion of 2mg/h. Protocols for induction and intubation were similar.

Results:
Mean HR and MAP at preinduction, immediately after induction, and at 1, 3, and 5 min after intubation were comparable in groups A and B. Intragroup comparison of preinduction HR with subsequent values in group A showed that the HR values at 1,3, and 5 min after intubation were significantly higher than the preinduction value. HR after induction was comparable. Intragroup analysis in group B showed that preinduction HR was comparable with HR after induction and at 3 and 5 min after intubation. HR at 1 min was significantly higher. Intragroup analysis in group A showed that the MAP values were significantly lower than the preinduction value after induction and at 1,3, and 5 min after intubation. In group B, MAP was significantly lower than the preinduction value after induction and at 3 and 5 min after intubation, with the value being comparable at 1 min.

Conclusion:
OFA with lignocaine bolus followed by infusion, as well as morphine did not attenuate the HR responses to nasal intubation in cancer patients. However, both techniques effectively blunted the MAP response.
Effect of three-week exercise program on muscle strength and joint mobility in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy: Randomized controlled trial
Authors: Novaković-Bursać Snježana , Talić Goran , Tomić Nataša , Škrbić Ranko , Soldatovic Ivan 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Limited joint mobility is the proven risk factor for diabetic foot ulceration when present in the subtalar and first metatarsophalangeal joints. Evidence shows that a foot-related exercise program, combined with a health-promoting program, can improve the signs and symptoms of diabetic polyneuropathy, enhance gait, restore mobility in the foot and ankle joints, redistribute pressure while walking, and increase foot strength and function. As a result, these exercise programs can help mitigate the risk factors for diabetic foot ulceration.
AIM
To determine the effect of supervised stretching, strengthening, functional and walking exercises on joint mobility and muscle strength in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy.
METHODS
This was a randomized controlled trial conducted in a tertiary hospital. The study included 82 participants allocated into the intervention group (alpha-lipoic acid and exercise on 15 consecutive therapeutic days, n = 42) and control group (alpha lipoic acid only, n = 40). Muscle strength included dorsal and plantar flexors dynamometry and strength score, while range of motion included ankle, subtalar and first metatarsophalangeal joint goniometry.
RESULTS
Change of motion range was significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group regarding ankle joint on day 15 (9.9 ± 7.2 vs 0.1 ± 3.3; P = 0.006) and month 6 (2.8 ± 7.3 vs -0.9 ± 4.1; P < 0.001), subtalar joint on day 15 (7.5 ± 5.1 vs -0.25 ± 2.25; P < 0.001) and month 6 (3.9 ± 6.4 vs -0.13 ± 3.49; P < 0.001). Change in dorsal flexors was significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group on day 15 (2.62 ± 1.69 vs 0.10 ± 1.35; P < 0.001) and month 6 (0.66 ± 2.38 vs -0.75 ± 1.94; P = 0.004) as well as plantar flexors on day 15 (3.3 ± 1.6 vs 0.3 ± 1.5; P < 0.001) and month 6 (1.8 ± 2.2 vs -0.9 ± 2.1; P < 0.001). Muscle strength score change was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group on day 15 (-1.45 ± 1.42 vs -0.03 ± 0.16; P < 0.001) and month 6 (-1.17 ± 1.53 vs 0.20 ± 0.56; P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
Exercise in combination with alpha-lipoic acid can improve joint mobility, as well as strength of the foot and lower leg muscles in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy.
Basic Concepts of Stock Option Pricing Models Traded in the Capital Market
Authors: Ibrahim Riza Andrian , Azahra Astrid Sulistya , Kalfin  
Published: November 2024

An option, in the world of capital markets, is a right based on an agreement to buy or sell a commodity, financial securities, or a foreign currency at an agreed price at any time within a three-month contract period. Factors that determine the value of an option include the current price of the stock, intrinsic value, expiration time or time value, volatility, interest rate, and cash dividends paid. Some options pricing models use this parameter to determine the fair market value of an option. This paper aims to learn the basic concepts of option pricing. The method used in studying the pricing of options is a literature review, which is an activity to collect scientific data, especially in the form of theories, methods, or research that has been carried out previously, either in the form of books, manuscripts, journals, and others that already exist in the library. Based on the results of the study, concepts, scientific findings, and method innovations that have been achieved previously are obtained, which are very relevant and useful for understanding the determination of stock option prices.

Публикационная активность преподавателей Ленинградской духовной академии (1958–1964)
Authors: Н.А. Тарнакин 
Published: November 2024

В статье анализируется публикационная активность преподавателей Ленинградской духовной академии в 1958–1964 гг., в период т. н. хрущевских гонений. Предметом рассмотрения являются богословские статьи преподавателей Академии, опубликованные в «Журнале Московской Патриархии» и сборнике «Богословские труды». Данные публикации распределены по тематикам: 1) библеистика; 2) богословие; 3) патрология; 4) история; 5) церковно-практические дисциплины; 6) инославие, экуменическая деятельность. Показано преобладание статей, посвященных т. н. борьбе за мир. Отмечено, что ряд работ — профессора А. И. Иванова, священника Михаила Мудьюгина, епископа Михаила (Чуба), профессора Н. Д. Успенского — отличается высоким научным уровнем. Делается вывод, что на фоне развернувшейся в стране антирелигиозной кампании сам факт продолжения научно-исследовательской работы в ЛДА, проявляющейся, в частности, в публикационной активности преподавателей, воспринимается как своего рода сопротивление академической корпорации давлению государства. Также отмечается, что отдельные статьи сохраняют научную ценность по сей день.
The article analyzes publishing activity of teachers of Leningrad Theological Academy in 1958–1964, during the period of the so-called Khrushchev’s persecutions. The subject of consideration is theological articles by professors of the Academy, published in the “Journal of Moscow Patriarchate” and “Theological Works” collection. These publications are divided into rubrics according to the following topics: 1) biblical studies; 2) theology; 3) patrology; 4) history; 5) church-practical disciplines; 6) heterodoxy, ecumenical activity. The predominance of articles devoted to the so-called fight for peace is shown. At the same time, it is noted that a number of works — by Prof. A. I. Ivanov, priest Mikhail Mudyugin, Bishop Mikhail (Chub), Prof. N. D. Uspensky — are distinguished by a high scientific level. It is concluded that against the background of the anti-religious campaign unfolded in the country, the very fact of continuing research at Leningrad Theological Academy, manifesting itself particularly in the publication activity of professors, is perceived as a kind of resistance of the academic corporation to state pressure. It is also noted that individual articles retain their scientific value to this day.

Objective: This study aims to describe implementing the child-friendly healthy school program and its effectiveness in improving elementary school students' health literacy and psychological well-being to promote health and well-being in achieving the SDGs.

Theoretical Framework: Health education provides learning experiences that influence thoughts, feelings, and actions to achieve life goals and become better, healthier, and more productive, leading to improved health literacy and psychological well-being.

Method: Quantitative descriptive research is used to describe implementing a child-friendly, healthy school and calculate its effectiveness test. Respondents, including ten elementary school teachers and 360 elementary school students from various schools in Jakarta Province in Indonesia, tested it.

Results and Discussion: The results showed a significant increase in knowledge about health literacy (36.5% before training; 68.7% after training; p <.05) and students' psychological well-being (49.8% before training; 86.05% after training. The responses of teachers and students showed that the child-friendly healthy school program was very good and succeeded in stimulating the Health Literacy and Psychological well-being of elementary school students.

Research Implications: This child-friendly healthy school program can be a recommendation for teachers to instil self-awareness of physical and mental health in students and input for other educators to realize a comfortable and enjoyable child-friendly healthy school to achieve the SDGs.

Originality/Value: The originality of this research is that the child-friendly healthy school program to achieve SDGs has yet to be done at elementary schools surrounding Jakarta Province in Indonesia.
