Authors: Kania-Olejnik Paulina , Malinowski Marcin , Rausch Manuel K. , Timek Tomasz A. 
Published: October 2024

Objectives
Long-standing atrial fibrillation (AF) may lead to tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and right ventricular dysfunction. However, the effect of acute AF on tricuspid annular (TA) dynamics and three-dimensional geometry is unknown.

Methods
In eight adult sheep, sonomicrometry crystals were implanted around the tricuspid annulus and right ventricular free wall. Pressure transducers were placed in the right ventricle, left ventricle, and right atrium. After weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass and a period of hemodynamic stabilization, simultaneous sonomicrometry and hemodynamic data were collected in sinus rhythm (SR) and during experimental AF (400b/min right atrial pacing). Annular area, perimeter, dimensions, height, global and regional annular contraction, and strain were calculated based on cubic spline fits to crystal 3D locations.

Results
Maximal TA area increased from 1084.9±273.9mm2 in SR to 1207.5±322.1mm2 during AF (p = 0.002). Anteroposterior diameter increased from 36.5±5.0mm to 38.4±5.5mm (p = 0.05). TA contraction decreased from 7±2% in SR to 2±1% in AF (p = 0.001). Anterior, posterior, and septal regional annular contraction decreased from 10±4%, 8±3% and 6±2% to 4±2%, 3±1% and 2±1% for SR and AF, respectively (p<0.05). AF perturbed systolic global annular strain (from -6.52±1.74% to -2.78±1.79%; p = 0.003) and caused annular stretch. Annular height marginally decreased with AF from 5.8±1.9mm to 5.7±2.0mm; p = 0.039.

Conclusions
Acute experimental AF in healthy sheep was associated with TA dilation, flattening, and decreased total and regional annular contractility. These data may help elucidate the pathophysiology of functional TR associated with AF.

Published: October 2024

Background
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) affects 23.9% of pregnant women globally and, if left untreated, can lead to adverse fetomaternal outcomes. In Tanzania, ASB prevalence has ranged from 13% to 17% over the past decade. Yet, its impact on fetomaternal outcomes remains unexplored, hindering the development of screening strategies, antimicrobial therapies, and preventive measures for this vulnerable population.

Methods
A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 1,093 pregnant women admitted for delivery at Bugando Medical Center (BMC) in Mwanza, Tanzania, from July to December 2022. Socio-demographic, obstetric, and clinical data were collected from the women, along with mid-stream urine samples for analysis. Fetomaternal outcomes were assessed within 72 hours after delivery.

Results
The median age of participants was 29 years (range: 15–45 years). ASB prevalence among pregnant women was 16.9% (185/1093), with a 95% CI of 14.6–19.3%. Risk factors for ASB included anemia (OR: 5.3; 95% CI = 3.7–8.2, p-value <0.001) and a history of antenatal care admission (OR 4.2; 95% CI = 2.9–6.1, p-value <0.001). Among all participants, 82 (7.5%), 65 (5.9%), 49 (4.5%), and 79 (7.2%) experienced pre-term labor (PTL), premature rupture of membrane (PROM), preeclampsia, and delivered newborns with low birthweight (LBW), respectively. Among the 185 patients with ASB, the respective proportions of PTL, PROM, preeclampsia, and LBW were 25.4%, 17.3%, 9.2%, and 12.4%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed significant associations between ASB and PTL [OR (95% CI): 8.8 (5.5–14.5); p-value <0.001], PROM [OR (95% CI): 4.5 (2.5–8.0); p-value <0.001], and LBW [OR (95% CI): 2.0 (1.2–3.5); p-value = 0.011]. Escherichia coli (50.8%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.05%) were the most common pathogens, with low resistance rates to nitrofurantoin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and cephalosporins—antibiotics considered safe during pregnancy—ranging from 8.2% to 31.0%.

Conclusion
The prevalence of ASB among pregnant women in Tanzania remains high and is associated with adverse fetomaternal outcomes. Integrating routine urine culture screening for all pregnant women, irrespective of symptoms, and providing specific antimicrobial therapies during antenatal care can help prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Authors: Kokorelias Kristina M. , Saragosa Marianne , Abdelhalim Reham , Philippopoulos Eleni , Vo Ann 
Published: October 2024

Background
Canada, like many other jurisdictions worldwide, is facing a nursing shortage. At the same time, high-income countries are facing a rapidly ageing and more complex older adult population. Demands for more responsive health care services are driving systems of care to meet the evolving needs of the ageing population. Internationally-educated nurses (IENs) can help fill gaps in the care of older adults, but may need considerable support to work in new social and health care environments. However, the experiences of IENs within the geriatric care literature have not been comprehensively reviewed. This protocol will outline a scoping review to determine: (1) what is known about the experiences and support needs of IENs in geriatric healthcare settings within high income countries? (2) what are current supportive-pathways for IENs in geriatric practice settings? And (3) what are the research gaps in the existing literature on the experiences and support needs of IENs within the context of geriatrics?

Methods
A scoping review will be conducted guided by the methodological framework set out by Arksey and O’Malley (2005) and later advanced by Levac, Colquhoun and O’Brien (2010). The search strategy will be applied to seven databases (MEDLINE, PubMed (non-MEDLINE records), PsycINFO, PsychArticles, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science). Grey literature will be searched using Google search engines, targeted websites and consultation with content experts. Articles of any publication date will be included. A two-stage screening process will be conducted in duplicate (i.e., two reviewers per stage) to determine eligible articles. Data from eligible articles will be extracted using a piloted charting form. Extracted data will be analyzed using thematic and descriptive analyses.

Discussion
The findings of the upcoming will highlight opportunities and recommendations to inform future research and support training to support IENs working with older adults within high income countries. Publication, presentations and stakeholder meetings will disseminate our findings.

Authors: Kokorelias Kristina M. , Chau Vicky , Wijekoon Sachindri , Singh Hardeep , Harris Maurita T. 
Published: October 2024

IntroductionThe pursuit of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in healthcare education has garnered significant attention in recent years, reflecting a broader societal imperative for equitable healthcare delivery. However, existing curricula within geriatric healthcare education may not adequately address these diverse needs within their educational frameworks, inadvertently resulting in disparities in care delivery and outcomes. Within the realm of geriatric healthcare, addressing EDI is particularly crucial due to the diverse needs of older adult populations and the imperative for healthcare professionals to deliver culturally humble care. This review provides a comprehensive overview of strategies and curricular strategies, actions and/or initiatives to promote EDI within geriatric healthcare professional education.MethodsThis paper presents a protocol for a forthcoming scoping review. The methodology for this scoping review adheres to the framework outlined in the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual, encompassing four main stages: (1) formulation of a search strategy, (2) screening and selection of evidence, (3) data extraction, and (4) analysis. We will conduct a comprehensive search of peer-reviewed and empirical literature. Additionally, we will explore the reference lists of included studies to identify any relevant sources. The synthesis of findings will be conducted through a narrative approach. Reporting of the methods and results will adhere to the guidelines provided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR).DiscussionHealthcare professionals must possess the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to deliver culturally humble care that respects and responds to diverse older adults’ unique needs and preferences. The review aims to fill a crucial gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive overview of strategies and curricular interventions designed to promote EDI within geriatric healthcare professional education. By mapping these strategies, actions and/or initiatives, the review seeks to identify trends, challenges, and opportunities for advancing EDI within geriatric care. The forthcoming review serves as a call to action for educators, healthcare institutions, and decision makers to prioritize EDI within geriatric healthcare education. The review identifies effective strategies and interventions for promoting EDI, providing actionable insights to inform the development of inclusive curricula, training programs, and institutional policies, which can contribute to cultivating a healthcare workforce better equipped to address the complex and evolving needs of aging populations equitably and compassionately.

Published: October 2024

Background
Mistreatment of women during childbirth is a global health challenge. Maternity healthcare providers play a key role in influencing women’s birth experience. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare providers regarding mistreatment of women during labour and childbirth in public hospitals in Tehran, Iran.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was part of an implementation research project that was conducted from October to December 2021 at five public teaching hospitals in Tehran. All eligible maternity healthcare providers (obstetricians and midwives) and students were invited to participate in this study. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of four sections: socio-demographic characteristics (11 items), knowledge (11 items), attitudes (13 items), and practices (14 items) about mistreatment. Knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were determined using Bloom’s cut-off points. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the socio-demographic characteristics associated with knowledge and attitudes. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results
Of the 270 participants, 255 (94.5%) participated in the study. Majority of the participants (82.7%) had poor knowledge regarding mistreatment of women during labour and childbirth. Poor knowledge was more apparent in the categories of physical abuse, verbal abuse, poor rapport between women and providers, and failure to meet professional standards of care. Most participants (69.4%) had poor attitudes towards mistreatment; they were alright with physical abuse, verbal abuse, and discrimination. Only 3.1% of the participants reported moderate mistreatment practices towards birthing women. Verbal and physical abuse were the most prevalent categories used by the participants. The number of night shifts was associated with attitudes regarding mistreatment (AOR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.22–0.89, p = 0.02).

Conclusion
The knowledge and attitude of our participants regarding maternity mistreatment were poor. A small percentage of the participants reported mistreatment practices. The findings of our study have important implications for program planners and decision-makers in developing effective interventions to reduce mistreatment of women during labour and childbirth in Iran.

Published: October 2024

AbstractIn the present scenario, obesity is a challenging health problem and its prevalence along with comorbidities are on the rise around the world. Ingestion of fish becomes trendy in daily meals. Recent research has shown that marine fish oil (FO) (found in tuna, sardines, and mackerel) may offer an alternative method for reducing obesity and problems associated with it. Marine FO rich in long‐chain omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n‐3 PUFA) and long‐chain omega‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n‐6 PUFA) plays an important role in reducing abnormalities associated with the metabolic syndrome and has a variety of disease‐fighting properties, including cardioprotective activity, anti‐atherosclerotic, anti‐obesity, anti‐cancer, anti‐inflammatory activity. Studies in rodents and humans have indicated that LC n‐3 PUFA potentially elicit a number of effects which might be useful for reducing obesity, including suppression of appetite, improvements in circulation, enhanced fat oxidation, energy expenditure, and reduced fat deposition. This review discusses the interplay between inflammation and obesity, and their subsequent regulation via the beneficial role of marine FO, suggesting an alternative dietary strategy to ameliorate obesity and obesity‐associated chronic diseases.
Propaganda Model in Slovak Media Space: A Case Study
Authors: Karas Martin , Profant Tomáš Imrich 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article reports results of an empirical study of Slovak media coverage of international affairs. The goal of the article is to determine whether the outputs of selected Slovak media correspond to the expectations of the Propaganda Model. In order to accomplish this goal, a content analysis of coverage of two cases of international conflict was performed and two hypotheses were evaluated. The hypotheses amount to an expectation that there will be a quantitative and qualitative difference in the way that selected Slovak media cover civilian casualties and potential breaches of international law based on the relationship of Slovak elites to the perpetrator. The analysis concludes that the degree of quantitative and qualitative inconsistency in the coverage of the selected issues could not be attributed to factors external to Slovak media and therefore have to be attributed to structural factors of Slovak media space, which need to be further examined.
Projection in Arabic: a typological overview
Authors: Bardi Mohamed Ali 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article examines the different aspects of projection by focusing on the processes construing this area of the lexicogrammar. It also explores how Arabic construes this dimension of the lexicogrammar across the rank scale and beyond. Within the Hallidayan Systemic Functional paradigm, there are three variables that differentiate between any type of projection and this article investigates all three of them. It more precisely explores the three different projection systems which consist of (i) the level of projection which is about the distinction between mental and verbal projection. (ii) The mode of projection which is about tactic interdependency relations and whether what is projected is a quote (paratactic) or a report (hypotactic) and (iii) the speech function of projection which is where projection interacts with the system of mood and the projection of propositions and proposals. The last section studies the manifestation of projection patterns in a wide variety of lexico-grammatical environments. The findings will show how this pervasiveness substantiates the interpretation of projection as a fractal motif.
