Background
Globally, about 810 women die daily from pregnancy and childbirth complications, and the burden is highest in Africa. The United Nations sustainable development goal has a maternal mortality ratio (MMR) target of 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030. Nigeria, the largest country in Africa, has an MMR of 512 per 100,000 live births, thus there is need for intensified efforts to reduce maternal deaths in the country. Proper utilisation of maternal health services including health facilities for delivery is crucial to achieving this. This study assesses the regional trends, spatial patterns and determinants of health facility delivery among women of reproductive age in Nigeria.

Methods
This is a weighted secondary analysis of the Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). The sample included women who had a live birth in the preceding 5 years of the NDHS 2008, 2013 and 2018. Bivariate analysis and multilevel logistic regression were carried out to assess the determinants of health facility delivery. Trends analysis was done using bar graphs and spatial analysis showed the distribution of health facility delivery by State.

Results
Forty-one percent of women delivered their last child in a health facility. The proportion of women who delivered at a health facility increased from 2008 to 2018 for all regions, with exception of the South-south region. Determinants of facility-based delivery include; ethnicity, level of education, wealth index, exposure to mass media (AOR 1.34; 95% CI 1.20–1.50), number of childbirths, number of antenatal visits (AOR 4.03; 95% CI 3.51–4.62), getting a companion to go the health facility (AOR 0.84; 95% CI 0.72–0.98), community level poverty, community level of female education, community distance to health facility, and geographical region.

Conclusion
There is an urgent need to deploy appropriate strategies and programme to improve health facility delivery in Nigeria.
Network Meta-Analysis of Comparing Different Dosages of Potassium-Competitive Acid Blocker With Proton-Pump Inhibitor in Acid-Related Disorders
Authors: Wang Yujiao , Dai Xiaosong , Zhang Xinxing 
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION:
Potassium-competitive acid blockers have emerged as a promising treatment of acid-related disorders. However, the optimal dosage for maximizing their efficacy remains unclear. The aim of this network meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of various dosages of potassium-competitive acid blockers and proton-pump inhibitors for treating acid-related disorders.

METHODS:
We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from inception to July 16, 2023. Data extraction was performed independently by 2 authors. The Cochrane Risk of Bias in Randomized Trials tool (RoB 2.0) was used for bias assessment. The efficacy and safety were compared using the odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals.

RESULTS:
Twelve articles were included in the present meta-analysis. For gastric/duodenal ulcers, keverprazan 30 mg (K30) exhibited the highest surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) value (92.8%) for healing rate. In terms of total adverse events, lansoprazole 30 mg (L30) exhibited the lowest SUCRA value (25.3%) in the treatment of gastric/duodenal ulcers. For the healing rate in erosive esophagitis, the maximum SUCRA value of vonoprazan 40 mg (V40) was 90.7% in the first subgroup (erosive esophagitis using vonoprazan, keverprazan, and lansoprazole) and the maximum SUCRA value of T50 was 72.1% in the second subgroup (erosive esophagitis using tegoprazan, fexuprazan, and esomeprazole). For the total adverse events in erosive esophagitis, L15 exhibited the lowest SUCRA value (12.2%) in the first group and E40 exhibited the lowest SUCRA value (24.4%) in the second group.

DISCUSSION:
K30 may be the most effective dosage for increasing the healing rate of gastric/duodenal ulcers. For erosive esophagitis, V40 and T50 may be the preferred dosages.
Missionary Writings During the Canton Exile (1666–1671): Controversies on the Inculturation of the Catholic Church
Authors: Meynard Thierry 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In the aftermath of the Calendar Case, 25 missionaries arrived in Canton in March 1666. Over the course of their five-year exile, they generated numerous reports and letters which, until now, have not been subject to systematic study. This paper delves into their writings concerning the establishment of three practical norms for the China mission: permitting Chinese Catholics to observe traditional rites honoring their ancestors and Confucius, allowing them to continue fasting under certain conditions, and instructing them to wear a Chinese hat during the liturgy. Though these norms were ratified by majority vote, they were immediately met with opposition. Although the controversy on the Chinese rites is well-documented, it is pertinent to examine these three controversies together, as they pertain to the issue of inculturation within the Catholic Church.
Coherence vortices by binary pinholes
Authors: Gautam Akanksha , Agarwal Amit K. , Singh Rakesh Kumar 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Singularity in a two-point complex coherence function, known as coherence vortices, represents zero visibility with a helical phase structure. In this paper, we introduce a novel technique to generate the coherence vortices of different topological charges by incoherent source transmittance with exotic structured binary pinholes. The binary pinhole structures have been realized by lithography, followed by wet etching methods. We control the transmittance from the incoherent source plane using these exotic apertures, which finally results in a coherence vortex spectrum that features multiple and pure orbital angular momentum modes. The generation of the coherence vortices is achieved within the two-point complex spatial coherence function. The spatial coherence function exhibits the helical phase profile in its phase part, and its absolute part shows a doughnut-shaped structure. A theoretical basis is developed and validated with simulation, and experimental results. The coherence vortex spectra with OAM modes superposed with opposite topological charges, known as photonic gears, are also generated with the proposed theory.

Objectives
The incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) has increased worldwide over the last decades, mainly due to the lowering of screening thresholds, resulting in the increased identification of newborns with transient CH. Several studies have reported the prevalence and the predictive parameters of transient CH, but reports on the long-term outcome are rare. This study aimed to assess the long-term course of neonates with transient CH.

Design
Neonates diagnosed with transient and permanent CH between the years 1998 and 2018 at the Pediatric Endocrine Institute of Ha’Emek Medical Center were enrolled in the study. Data were retrieved retrospectively from medical files.

Results
A total of 76 newborns (45M, 59%) with transient CH and 53 (25M, 47%) with permanent CH were included in the study. The major causes of transient CH were prematurity (29%) and subclinical hypothyroidism (30%). During retrospective follow-ups of up to 23 years, reinitiation of levothyroxine therapy was not required, apart from four patients with underlying syndromic etiologies. Neurodevelopmental impairment occurred in 16% of children with transient CH compared with 29.4% in the permanent CH group.

Conclusions
Transient CH is frequent among preterm infants but is generally limited to infancy. Subclinical hypothyroidism frequently presents as overt hypothyroidism at birth, but in most cases, the requirement for levothyroxine supplemental therapy is limited to the first years of life, suggesting that long-term follow-up of thyroid function tests may be unnecessary for non-syndromic children. The high rate of neurodevelopmental impairment in newborns with transient CH emphasizes the need for neurodevelopmental monitoring in these patients.

Significance statement
A high rate of transient CH has been identified over the past decades following the lowering of TSH screening thresholds. The long-term outcome of transient CH has been evaluated in a few studies with inconclusive results. In the current study, we assessed the long-term outcomes of transient CH for up to 23 years. We found that 29% of cases were attributed to prematurity and 30% to subclinical hypothyroidism. No morphological anomalies were identified. Only syndromic patients (three with Down syndrome and one with Coffin-Lowry syndrome) required levothyroxine supplemental therapy at the time of the study, indicating that long-term thyroid function monitoring may be unnecessary. The high prevalence of neurodevelopmental impairment suggests the need for close neurodevelopmental monitoring in this population.

Приведено краткое описание особенностей инерционно-ударного метода разрушения геоматериалов молотковым ротором. Представлены возможности его применения для бурения скважин большого диаметра при подземной разработке горных пород. Описана методика проведения и результаты лабораторных исследований влияния различных сочетаний скоростей вращения молоткового ротора и линейного перемещения относительно разрушаемой поверхности на силу электрического тока, потребляемого отдельными механизмами рабочего оборудования, а также на возникающую в ударном режиме скорость вибрации поддерживающих элементов ротора. Определены рациональные диапазоны этих скоростей, в которых процесс разрушения происходит с наименьшими затратами энергии и динамическим воздействием на конструкцию рабочего оборудования.
The article describes inertial impact fracture of geomaterials using a rotary hammer drill. The capabilities of the tool in underground large-hole drilling are discussed. The authors present the procedure and results of the lab-scale testing of influence exerted by different combinations of rotational and linear path velocities of the rotary hammer drill on the strength of current taken by working tools and on the shock vibration velocity of supporting members of the rotary hammer drill. The rational ranges of these velocities, such as the process of fracture runs at the least energy input and minimum impact on the working tools, are determined.

Published: October 2024

Для повышения эффективности бурения дегазационных скважин в угольных пластах рассмотрено использование винтовых забойных двигателей, обычно применяемых в нефтегазовом бурении. Выявлены преимущества бурения пластов винтовыми забойными двигателями относительно традиционного вращательного бурения. На основании экспериментальных планов Бокса - Бенкена получено распределение основных конструкционных параметров, влияющих на эффективность бурения: расход, нагнетаемое давление, усилие подачи. На угольной шахте Wangzhuang проведены полевые испытания винтового забойного двигателя с оптимальной конфигурацией параметров. В сравнении с традиционным вращательным бурением эффективность винтового бурения выше на 39.08 %, вынос бурового шлама увеличился на 48.28 %, что позволяет значительно повысить эффективность дегазационного бурения угольных пластов и уменьшить вентиляционный цикл и общие затраты на отработку пласта.
To increase the efficiency of gas extraction drilling in coal seams, screw drilling tools used in petroleum-related operations were introduced instead of common bottom-hole combination drilling tools. According to the Box-Behnken experimental design principle, the significance of three main construction factors on the drilling efficiency is: the flow rate > pump pressure > feed force. The optimized drilling parameters were used to conduct a field test in Wangzhuang coal mine of Shanxi Lu’an Group. The results showed that the drilling efficiency of screw drilling increased by 39.08% and the drilling slag discharge increased by 48.28% compared with the conventional rotary drilling technique, which significantly improved the construction efficiency of coal seam drilling and is expected to reduce the gas treatment cycle and cost of coal seams to a significant extent.
Improving Hospital-to-Home for Medically Complex Children: Views From Spanish-Speaking Caregivers
Authors: Squires Stephanie S. , Hoang Kim , Grajales Lizette , Halpern-Felsher Bonnie , Sanders Lee 
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Children with medical complexity (CMC) experience increased risk of adverse events during and after hospitalization, and these risks are even greater for CMC whose caregiver has a preferred language other than English. Because many adverse events for CMC may be attributable to communication challenges, understanding caregiver and physician perspectives may help prevent adverse events.

METHODS
We conducted semistructured interviews with Spanish-speaking caregivers of hospitalized CMC and their inpatient attending physicians. Each interview was conducted 24 to 72 hours after hospital discharge. Interviews continued until thematic sufficiency was reached. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and translated verbatim. Investigators independently coded and reconciled codes using constant comparison to develop themes via inductive thematic analysis.

RESULTS
We conducted 28 interviews (14 caregivers, 14 physicians). Three themes were identified: (1) barriers exist in providing language-concordant care in planning for transitions from hospital-to-home; (2) both physicians and caregivers perceived logistical challenges in using interpreters at the point of care; and (3) many caregivers felt uncomfortable asking physicians questions related to their child’s medical management because of their language barrier. Participants also offered strategies to improve the transition from hospital to home: (1) empower families to ask questions and take notes, (2) consider the use of medical educators, and (3) improve the ability of hospital-based physicians to follow up with patients after discharge.

CONCLUSIONS
Physicians strive for language-concordant care at each stage of discharge planning. However, unresolved gaps such as the lack of interpreter availability during medical-device education, require attention to promote safe transitions from hospital to home.
Hogyan mondjam el neked, hogy ne vegyem el a kedvedet? Esszencialista és viselkedésalapú visszajelzések hatása a beosztottak érzelmeire
Authors: Marót Janka Laura , Szabó Zsolt Péter , Török Lilla , Orosz Gábor 
Published: October 2024

Háttér és célkitűzések: A vezetők által adott visszajelzések fontos témái a vezetés- és szervezetpszichológiának, mégis viszonylag kevés empirikus jellegű tanulmány jelent meg a témában. Jelen cikk célja, hogy az irodalmi bevezetőben kifejtse a kurrens elméleteket, illetve körüljárja az esszencialista (személyiségre), ill. viselkedésre vonatkozó visszajelzésekkel kapcsolatos eddigi eredményeket. Módszer: Az első tanulmány online kérdőíves módszerrel tárja fel, hogy milyen gyakran kapnak a magyar munkavállalók esszencialista vs. viselkedésalapú visszajelzéseket. A második tanulmányban egy online kísérletben 2 × 2-es elrendezést alkalmaztunk, amelyben a válaszadót arra kértük, hogy képzelje bele magát egy munkahelyi visszajelzéses helyzetbe, ahol a vezető észlelt kompetenciáját és az esszencialista vs. viselkedésalapú visszajelzést manipuláltuk. Kimeneti változóként azt mértük, hogy a válaszadók mennyi negatív érzést említenek saját magukkal és a vezetőjükkel kapcsolatban a visszajelzést követően. Eredmények: Az esszencialista és a viselkedésalapú visszajelzések eltérő érzelmi dinamikát indítanak be: az esszencialista visszajelzések olyan érzelmeket váltanak ki, amelyek a konfliktust vételezik elő a vezető és a beosztottja között, míg a viselkedésalapú visszajelzések olyanokat, amelyek motivációt nyújthatnak a jövőbeli jobb teljesítményhez. A vezető kompetenciája szintén számít: a nem kompetens vezető iránt gyakrabban élnek meg a vizsgálati személyek negatív érzelmeket az üzenet jellegzetességeitől függetlenül, míg a kompetens vezetőtől könnyebben fogadják el a kritikát. Következtetések: A válaszadók megítélése alapján elég valószínű, hogy a magyar szervezetekben gyakoriak az esszencialista visszajelzések, amelyek számos vizsgálat alapján káros motivációs és érzelmi következményekkel járhatnak. A vezető alacsony kompetenciája fokozza az esszencialista visszajelzésekből származó problémákat.

Aim. To study the pharmacoepidemiological aspects and efficiency of hypertension (HTN) control at the level of primary health care in the Kyrgyz Republic (and their compliance with modern clinical guidelines.Material and methods. Within the project "Analysis and evaluation of factors determining the control of management of patients with hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases in the Kyrgyz Republic", supported by the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Swiss project "Effective management and prevention of non-communicable diseases in Kyrgyzstan", we studied compliance of antihypertensives' prescription with modern clinical guidelines and the effectiveness of HTN control at the level of primary health care in the Kyrgyz Republic. We analyzed the medical records of patients registered with a diagnosis of HTN for 2022. Family doctor groups (FDGs) were used as the Primary Sampling Unit (PSU), which were sampled using probability sampling proportional to the size of the general population. Medical records of patients from FDGs were used as the Secondary Sampling Unit. We selected 40 medical records of patients from each FDG. A total of 3675 medical records of patients with hypertension were studied throughout the Kyrgyz Republic.Results. The age of patients from the selected 3675 medical records ranged from 19 to 93 years (mean age, 62±9 years). Most of the examined individuals were women (2567 respondents, or 69,9%), while men were represented by 1108 respondents (30,1%). According to the study of medical records, the proportion of individuals with HTN covered by treatment was 86,6% (including 90,3% of women and 84,6% of men, p<0,001), of which 43,8% of patients received monotherapy, 39,4% received dual therapy, 14,4% received triple therapy, and 2,4% of respondents received 4 or more antihypertensive drugs. On average, out of the total number of people receiving antihypertensive drugs, there were 1,76 drugs per patient with hypertension, and this parameter was slightly higher in women (1,83) than in men (1,66). The proportion of effectively treated patients in general among people with HTN was 42,1% (43,5% in women and 35,5% in men, p<0,0001). Hypertension control in the study cohort was 42,1%, and this parameter was also higher in women than in men (44% versus 37,8%, respectively, p<0,001).Conclusion. The study revealed a high proportion of patients covered by treatment using modern antihypertensive drugs and an increase in the effectiveness of treatment and control of HTN over the past decade in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Aim. To study the association of adipocytokine levels with insulin resistance (IR) and stable/unstable plaques in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.Material and methods. This cross-sectional observational study included 109 men aged 38-79 years with class II-III stable angina pectoris without acute coronary syndrome (ACS), with coronary atherosclerosis verified by coronary angiography. Biochemical tests were carried out using the enzymatic method on a Konelab 30i analyzer at the Laboratory of Clinical Biochemical and Hormonal Studies of Internal Diseases of the Research Institute of Internal and Preventive Medicine — branch of the Federal Research Center Institute of Cytology and Genetics. All patients also underwent anthropometric examination.Results. Patients with coronary atherosclerosis and IR had higher levels of GIP by 1,4 times (p=0,005), GLP-1 by 1,7 times (p=0,032), IL-6 by 3,2 times (p=0,017), leptin by 2,3 times (p=0,001) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) by 1,9 times (p=0,006). In patients with stable plaques and IR, leptin was 2 times higher, and PP was 1,7 times higher, compared to patients without IR. In patients with unstable plaques and IR, leptin and PP levels are 5,1 and 1,7 times higher, respectively, compared to the group of patients without IR. In patients with IR and stable plaques, PYY was 1,5 times higher than in patients with IR and unstable plaques, while the adiponectin level was 1,9 times higher. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that PP is associated with IR in patients with unstable plaques.Conclusion. Patients with coronary atherosclerosis and IR had higher levels of GIP, GLP-1, IL-6, leptin and PP. Leptin and PP levels are higher in patients with both stable and unstable plaques and IR, and PYY and adiponectin levels are higher in patients with stable plaques and IR compared with patients without IR. PP is associated with IR in patients with unstable plaques.
