Authors: Ibrahim Muhammad Talal , Imran Hamza , Shuja Muhammad Hamza , Sheraz Haider , Howard Andrew , Noordin Shahryar 
Published: August 2024

Background
Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) captures online attention received by a research article in addition to traditional bibliometrics. We present a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of high AAS articles and identify predictors of AAS in orthopedics.

Materials and Methods
The top 30 articles with highest AAS were selected from orthopedic journals using the Dimensions App. Multilevel mixed-effects linear regression was used to address clustering in articles from the same journal, with journals as the leveling variable.

Results

A total of 750 articles from 25 journals were included. In the final multivariable model, the funding source (none, industry, government, foundation, university, or multiple), findings (positive, negative, neutral, or not applicable), and the journal's impact factor were significant at
P
<.05.

Conclusion

Predictors of AAS are similar to predictors of traditional bibliometrics. Future studies need prospective dynamic data to further elucidate the AAS. [

Authors: Ayhan Cemile Hurrem , Aktaş Mehmet Cihad , Aktaş Sakine , Aslan Kadriye 
Published: August 2024

Purpose

To investigate relationships among internalized stigma, readiness to change and treatment eagerness, and recovery among people with substance use disorder (SUD) (
N
= 131).

Method
This study used a cross-sectional and correlational research design. Multiple linear regression was used for analysis.

Results

A 1-unit increase in alienation and discrimination experiences led to 0.220- and 0.337-unit increases in readiness to change and treatment eagerness, respectively (
p
= 0.001); however, a 1-unit increase in stigma resistance led to a 0.306-unit decrease in recovery (
p
< 0.001). There was a negative correlation between internalized stigma and recovery and positive correlations between internalized stigma and readiness to change and treatment eagerness; however, there was no significant relationship between recovery and readiness to change and treatment eagerness.

Conclusion

Early intervention programs targeting internalized stigma in individuals with SUD may improve readiness to change and treatment eagerness and recovery attitudes. [

Wedge Osteectomy of Bony Cap in Rhinoplasty: Minor Nasal Bone Hump Reduction
Authors: Cologlu Harun , Eyuboglu Atilla Adnan 
Published: August 2024

Background:
Hump reduction with traditional ostectomy is an invasive procedure performed in aesthetic rhinoplasty. Natural and flawless nasal dorsum can be obtained with wedge ostectomy (WO) technique.

Objective:
The objective of this study is to describe the nasal dorsum WO technique and examine its effectiveness in correcting nasal dorsum with absent and minor humps in patients undergoing aesthetic rhinoplasty.

Materials and Methods:
Senior author performed 488 rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty operations from April 2009 to April 2021. After exclusion of major hump patients, the remaining 312 patients had a secondary evaluation for suitability for wedge ostectomy. After secondary examination, 87 patients, including 19 with absent humps (0 mm) and 68 with small humps (1–3 mm) were operated.

Results:
Nasal bone hump reduction with WO has proven satisfactory results in majority of patients, minimal revision in done in five patients but no complications were occurred related to this method.

Conclusions:
Nasal dorsum WO provides lesser invasive approach to bony hump reduction in selected patients, ensuring bone cortex continuity in nasal dorsum. It decreases possible dorsal nasal irregularities associated with conventional coronal plane ostectomies. At the same time, it provides a natural and anatomically accurate nasal dorsum.
Sleep Better, Grow Stronger: The Miraculous Impact of Clustered Nursing Care on Low-birth-weight Neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Charan Gopal Singh , Kalia Raman , Joshi Pooja 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Sleep plays a crucial role in the development of newborns, especially for premature and low-birth-weight infants. Clustered nursing care is an effective way to improve these infants’ sleep quality and overall well-being. This approach has numerous benefits, including diminished stress responses, heightened physiological stability and improved growth outcomes. Moreover, it underscores the imperative of adeptly addressing sleep disturbances and mitigating stressors during neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stays to optimise developmental trajectories. Ultimately, advocating for the integration of clustered nursing care in NICUs, with its capacity to deliver superlative care, becomes indispensable in safeguarding the well-being of these vulnerable infants and securing a healthier prospect through refined sleep quality.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Academic Life and Mental Well being of Nursing Students, Mangalore, South India
Authors: Augustin Bibi 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background:
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has cast a long shadow globally and has brought a wide variety of changes to nursing education all of a sudden which has created a lot of tension and concerns amongst nursing students. In this study, undergraduate nursing students were surveyed during the lockdown (2020) as to how the pandemic has affected their academic life and mental well-being.

Objective:
This article aims to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and mental well-being of nursing students.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study with survey approach was conducted amongst 1114 undergraduate nursing students (baccalaureate in nursing) from randomly selected 11 nursing colleges in Mangalore, South India. The study used an investigator-developed scale on academic life during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Short Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale for data collection.

Results:
Of the 1114 students, 75% were worried about financial security and 82.4% were concerned about academic completion, the gap in their clinical experience and the commission of university examinations. Results indicated that 13.3%, 62.3% and 24.4% had low, moderate and severe levels of mental well-being, respectively. However, there was a negative correlation between impact on academic life and mental well-being, which implies as students worry more about their academic life its directly affecting their mental well-being.

Conclusion:
The quality of nursing education provided and received by the current nursing graduates will be reflected in the outcomes of health globally. Measures must be undertaken to plan a structured curriculum adaptable in providing continuity to teaching–learning experience in anticipation of any major crisis that can disrupt the system.

Occupational Noise Exposure and Hearing Loss in Truck Drivers: A Cross-sectional Analytical Study in Iran
Authors: Ghotbi Negar , Forouharmajd Farhad , Jahani Yunes , Pourabdian Siamak 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Aim:
Drivers have a significant role in transporting and moving goods using heavy vehicles. These drivers are exposed to various complications including hearing loss, due to long journeys and constant exposure to road noise. Considering the importance of preventing hearing loss, this study was conducted to determine the occupational exposure of truck drivers to noise and its effect on noise-induced hearing loss.

Methods:
This cross-sectional-analytical study was conducted on 692 truck drivers of 16 types of heavy vehicles in Iran. The hearing status of the truck drivers was measured in the right and left ears using a Welton 1300 clinical audiometer in a soundproof room based on the guidelines provided by the American Speech–Language–Hearing Association. The equivalent sound pressure level (LAeq) in the truck driver’s cabin was measured by a sound meter with a CEL-440 analyzer model and according to the standard (ISO 9612 1997) in A-frequency weighting. Finally, using SPSS V-26, the prevalence of hearing loss, the amount of hearing loss in different frequencies, and its relationship with exposure to noise in different frequencies were investigated.

Results:
The mean ± standard deviation LAeq in the examined truck was determined as 75.89 ± 5.98. The highest average LAeq was related to the frequency of 500 Hz with 62.76 dBA. The average LAeq was generally higher at lower frequencies (250, 500, and 1000). The prevalence of hearing loss in the right and left ears was estimated at 59.98% and 64.74%, respectively. The highest average hearing loss in the right and left ears was related to 6000 and 8000 Hz frequencies. There was a statistically significant difference between the LAeq inside the truck’s cabin with hearing loss compared to people without hearing loss in the right and left ears (P < 0.001). A statistically significant relationship between LAeq at different frequencies in different truck brands with hearing loss at different frequencies in the right and left ears was observed in the majority of trucks in reverse (P < 0.05). A significant relationship was observed between age and work experience with hearing loss in the right and left ears (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
Truck drivers suffer from a high level of hearing loss which is very similar to any industrial worker with high frequencies such as 4000 and 6000 Hz. Despite the lack of frequency relation between noise and hearing loss, increasing age, work experience, and noise exposure, regardless of frequency, can lead to increased hearing loss in these truck drivers, especially in the left ear. The appropriate cabin design, regular maintenance of vehicles, use of personal protective equipment, reduction of driving hours, and periodic annual examinations of drivers are suggested to prevent further progress of hearing loss in them.
Juxtahepatic venous injuries are not AAST Grade V injuries if there is no contrast extravasation
Authors: Purushothaman Vijayan , Sathyakumar Kirthi , Kumar Vignesh , Sharma Srujan Lam 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background:
The organ injury scale (OIS) for liver trauma by the American Association of the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) was last updated in 2018 with new “imaging criteria” that continued to grade juxtahepatic venous (JHV) injuries, regardless of presence or absence of active bleeding, as Grade V. We hypothesized that JHV injury found on imaging, in the absence of active bleeding, should not be considered Grade V based on location alone. The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of patients classified as AAST-OIS Grade V liver injuries based purely on JHV location, with patients who had AAST-OIS Grade I–III liver injuries.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective analysis of 121 patients with liver injury from the TReCS database (June 2020–May 2023) was conducted. Patients underwent contrast-enhanced dual-phase computed tomography scans on admission were reviewed by both radiologists and surgeons. Patients diagnosed with JHV injuries (JHV – with no contrast extravasation [CE]) and patients with low-grade injuries (OIS I–III) were compared for baseline data on age, gender, injury severity score (ISS) scoring, injury mechanism, length of hospital stay, and liver-related complications.

Results:
Of 121 patients identified, 66 had Grade I–III injuries and 21 had Grade V injuries due to JHV location alone. Three of the latter group had CE and were excluded. Heterogeneity was compared between the two groups for age (P = 0.634), gender (P = 0.964), mechanisms (P = 0.346), and ISS (P = 0.068). The median length of stay for the JHV (with no CE) group was 4.5 days and 6.00 days for the OIS Grade I–III group (P = 0.233). One patient in the JHV group had hemobilia, and there were no other liver-related complications in the cohort.

Conclusion:
Our findings suggest that the “imaging” criterion of “JHV” injuries, in the absence of extravasation or significant disruption, may be safely revised to a lower grade on the AAST-OIS for liver injuries.
Successful treatment of acute liver failure due to Wilson’s disease: Serendipity or fortuity?
Authors: Delle Cave Valeria , Di Dato Fabiola , Calvo Pier Luigi , Spagnuolo Maria Immacolata , Iorio Raffaele 
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND
Acute liver failure (ALF) may be the first and most dramatic presentation of Wilson’s disease (WD). ALF due to WD (WD-ALF) is difficult to distinguish from other causes of liver disease and is a clear indication for liver transplantation. There is no firm recommendation on specific and supportive medical treatment for this condition.
AIM
To critically evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic management of WD-ALF patients in order to improve their survival with native liver.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of patients with WD-ALF was conducted in two pediatric liver units from 2018 to 2023.
RESULTS
During the study period, 16 children (9 males) received a diagnosis of WD and 2 of them presented with ALF. The first was successfully treated with an unconventional combination of low doses of D-penicillamine and zinc plus steroids, and survived without liver transplant. The second, exclusively treated with supportive therapy, needed a hepatotransplant to overcome ALF.
CONCLUSION
Successful treatment of 1 WD-ALF patient with low-dose D-penicillamine and zinc plus steroids may provide new perspectives for management of this condition, which is currently only treated with liver transplantation.

Abstract. Sustainable intensification schemes such as integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) are a proposed strategy to close yield gaps, increase soil fertility, and achieve food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Biogeochemical models such as DayCent can assess their potential at larger scales, but these models need to be calibrated to new environments and rigorously tested for accuracy. Here, we present a Bayesian calibration of DayCent, using data from four long-term field experiments in Kenya in a leave-one-site-out cross-validation approach. The experimental treatments consisted of the addition of low- to high-quality organic resources, with and without mineral nitrogen fertilizer. We assessed the potential of DayCent to accurately simulate the key elements of sustainable intensification, including (1) yield, (2) the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC), and (3) the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of CO2 and N2O combined. Compared to the initial parameters, the cross-validation showed improved DayCent simulations of maize grain yield (with the Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency (EF) increasing from 0.36 to 0.50) and of SOC stock changes (with EF increasing from 0.36 to 0.55). The simulations of maize yield and those of SOC stock changes also improved by site (with site-specific EF ranging between 0.15 and 0.38 for maize yield and between −0.9 and 0.58 for SOC stock changes). The four cross-validation-derived posterior parameter distributions (leaving out one site each) were similar in all but one parameter. Together with the model performance for the different sites in cross-validation, this indicated the robustness of the DayCent model parameterization and its reliability for the conditions in Kenya. While DayCent poorly reproduced daily N2O emissions (with EF ranging between −0.44 and −0.03 by site), cumulative seasonal N2O emissions were simulated more accurately (EF ranging between 0.06 and 0.69 by site). The simulated yield-scaled GHG balance was highest in control treatments without N addition (between 0.8 and 1.8 kg CO2 equivalent per kg grain yield across sites) and was about 30 % to 40 % lower in the treatment that combined the application of mineral N and of manure at a rate of 1.2 t C ha−1 yr−1. In conclusion, our results indicate that DayCent is well suited for estimating the impact of ISFM on maize yield and SOC changes. They also indicate that the trade-off between maize yield and GHG balance is stronger in low-fertility sites and that preventing SOC losses, while difficult to achieve through the addition of external organic resources, is a priority for the sustainable intensification of maize production in Kenya.
