Spiritual care competencies in pre-graduate medical and nursing education
Authors: Buchter Serena , Monod-Zorzi Stéfanie 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Context: Current research in the field of spiritual care (SC) is constantly encouraging pre- and postgraduate training, particularly in medicine and nursing. Several reference frameworks have been produced to support this teaching since the 2000’s.

Methods: This narrative review first identifies the spiritual care competencies (SCCs) currently taught during pre-graduate nursing and medical science education in state-of-research studies. The competencies mentioned in the two reference frameworks identified as authoritative are then compared with this current and actual teaching. Specificities of each discipline are highlighted through this comparison.

Results: Similar competencies form a mainstream of SC teaching in the literature. For the vast majority, it appears to be a set of transdisciplinary competencies. Intrapersonal spirituality competencies are considered decisive. Some particularities of the medical framework open up a very specific field of reflection, including the role of the physician (identity development) and the meaning (and spirituality) of work.

Conclusion: Adding a complement to the competencies reference frameworks that includes identity development would be better suited to sustain students’ inner growth. A common frame of reference for nursing and medical education is conceivable, although the aims of SC in both fields need to be clarified.

CONTEXT
Meningitis is associated with high mortality risk in young infants, yet the optimal treatment regimen is unclear.

OBJECTIVES
To systematically evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic regimens to treat meningitis in young infants aged 0 to 59 days on critical clinical outcomes.

DATA SOURCES
MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, WHO Global Index Medicus, and Cochrane Central Registry of Trials.

STUDY SELECTION
We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of young infants with meningitis (population) comparing the efficacy of antibiotic regimens (interventions) with alternate regimens (control) on clinical outcomes.

DATA EXTRACTION
We extracted data on study characteristics and assessed risk of bias in duplicate. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation was used to assess certainty of evidence.

RESULTS
Of 1088 studies screened, only 2 RCTs were identified. They included 168 infants from 5 countries and were conducted between 1976 and 2015. Neither study compared current World Health Organization–recommended regimens. One multisite trial from 4 countries compared intrathecal gentamicin plus systemic ampicillin/gentamicin to systemic ampicillin/gentamicin and found no difference in mortality (relative risk, 0.88; 95% confidence interval, 0.41–1.53; 1 trial, n = 98, very low certainty of evidence) or adverse events (no events in either trial arm). Another trial in India compared a 10-day versus 14-day course of antibiotics and found no difference in mortality (relative risk, 0.51; 95% confidence interval, 0.04–4.53; 1 trial, n = 70, very low certainty of evidence) or other outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS
Trial data on the efficacy of antibiotic regimens in young infant meningitis are scarce. Rigorous RCTs are needed to inform recommendations for optimal antibiotic regimens for meningitis treatment in this vulnerable population, particularly within the context of changing epidemiology and increasing antimicrobial resistance.

Authors: Resti Novita , Supriatno Bambang , Amprasto Amprasto 
Published: August 2024

Practicum is one of the learning methods that can help students construct various psychomotor, higher-order thinking skills and characterize learning outcomes. One factor determining the practicum's success is the use of worksheets. However, currently, many worksheets do not meet the standards and do not show knowledge construction. In addition, there has been no research on the reconstruction of the vitamin C test worksheet. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and reconstruct the vitamin C test worksheet. The method used is descriptive qualitative with three stages: analysis, trial, and reconstruction. The population in this study was represented by vitamin C test worksheets for junior high school class VIII used by teachers. The sample in this study was one of the worksheets used in learning at school, circulating on the internet, and having incomplete components. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The analysis showed that the worksheet does not comply with the standards, so it is necessary to reconstruct the worksheet so as not to cause errors in student practicum activities. The reconstruction of this worksheet can be an alternative to overcome the current worksheet's shortcomings.Abstrak. Praktikum merupakan salah satu metode pembelajaran yang dapat membantu siswa mengonstruksi berbagai keterampilan psikomotorik, berpikir tingkat tinggi, dan mengkarakterisasi hasil belajar. Salah satu faktor penentu keberhasilan praktikum adalah penggunakan lembar kerja siswa. Namun, saat ini, masih banyak lembar kerja siswa yang tidak memenuhi standar dan tidak menunjukkan konstruksi pengetahuan. Selain itu, belum ada penelitian mengenai rekonstruksi lembar kerja uji vitamin c. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan analisis dan rekonstruksi lembar kerja uji vitamin c. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan tiga tahapan yaitu analisis, uji coba dan rekonstruksi. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah lembar kerja siswa mengenai uji vitamin c di Sekolah Menengah Pertama kelas VIII yang digunakan oleh guru. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah salah satu lembar kerja yang digunakan dalam pembelajaran di sekolah, beredar di internet dan komponennya tidak lengkap. Teknik pengambilan sampel adalah purposive sampling. Hasil analisis diperoleh bahwa lembar kerja siswa belum memenuhi standar sehingga perlu dilakukan rekonstruksi agar tidak menimbulkan kesalahan dalam kegiatan praktikum siswa. Rekonstruksi lembar kerja ini dapat menjadi lembar kerja alternatif untuk mengatasi kekurangan lembar kerja yang ada saat ini.
Structural Stigma and Disparities in Long-Term Health Conditions Among Australians in Same-Sex Relationships: 2021 Australian Census
Authors: Saxby Karinna , Zhang Yuting , Aitken Zoe 
Published: August 2024

Objectives. To explore the extent to which structural stigma (sociocultural and institutional constraining factors) is associated with sexual orientation disparities in long-term health conditions. Methods. We measured structural stigma using the regional percentage of votes against same-sex marriage from Australia’s 2017 Marriage Equality Survey and mapped this to the 2021 Census survey of 10 093 399 and 136 988 individuals in different-sex and same-sex relationships, respectively. Controlling for individual and area-level confounders, we used logistic regression analyses to examine the association between quartiles of structural stigma and sexual orientation disparities in long-term health conditions (e.g., any, mental health, asthma, cardiovascular). Results. In the lowest stigma quartile, individuals in same-sex relationships had 56% higher odds of reporting any long-term health condition (odds ratio [OR] = 1.56; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.53, 1.59) and this increased to 63% in the highest stigma quartile (OR = 1.63; 95% CI = 1.58, 1.68). Effects were particularly pronounced for cardiovascular, respiratory, and mental health conditions as well as for men, younger populations, and those living in socioeconomically deprived regions. Conclusions. Living in stigmatizing environments may have deleterious health effects for sexual minorities in Australia. Policy action and enhanced protections for sexual minorities are urgently required. ( Am J Public Health. 2024;114(10):1110–1122. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307759 )
Combined Irreducible Femoral Head Fracture-Dislocation and Ipsilateral Segmental Femur Fracture
Authors: Buesser Katherine E. , Miller Anna N. 
Published: August 2024

Case:
A 48-year-old man presented to a Level 1 trauma center after a motor vehicle crash with a right irreducible posterior hip dislocation and ipsilateral fractures of the femoral head and segmental femur shaft. This injury was managed with open reduction and internal fixation and antegrade intramedullary nailing.

Conclusion:
This is the first report of a combined irreducible femoral head fracture-dislocation and a segmental femur fracture, a rare injury that requires a stepwise approach to operative management of each injury. Surgeons must recognize the clinical and radiographic findings associated with irreducible hip dislocations in the setting of ipsilateral fractures to the femoral head and shaft.
Technology Focus: Formation Evaluation (August 2024)
Authors: Chen Zhiming 
Published: August 2024

Formation evaluation stands as a cornerstone in determining the potential of a wellbore in the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas resources. Using a suite of tools such as well logging, core analysis, formation testing, and well-testing analysis, formation evaluation provides critical insights into reservoir properties. For instance, well-test analysis enables reservoir-parameter inversions, well-productivity evaluation, and reservoir-boundaries identification for both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
The inherent subjectivity of human interpretation, however, can introduce challenges, often resulting in nonunique solutions during certain formation evaluation processes. This subjectivity can lead to inefficiencies and inaccuracies in predictions or estimations.
Fortunately, recent advancements in computing power and artificial-intelligence (AI) algorithms have catalyzed a paradigm shift within the field. Machine-learning techniques, renowned for their robust nonlinear regression capabilities, are being increasingly explored for formation evaluation, offering the potential for enhanced accuracy and efficiency. Consequently, the integration of AI into formation evaluation workflows has garnered significant attention.
The papers featured here highlight the practical applications of AI in formation evaluation. In paper IPTC 23411, a case study combines rock typing and machine-learning neural-network techniques to predict permeability in heterogeneous carbonate formations in an Abu Dhabi offshore field. Shifting focus to southern Iraq, paper SPE 218890 evaluates various imputation techniques for predicting missing core permeability and porosity in a carbonate reservoir, demonstrating the adaptability of AI across diverse geological settings. Furthermore, a case study in paper IPTC 23381 from Northern Colombia demonstrates the efficacy of AI in determining electrical properties by integrating log data, rock types, facies, and digital core analyses.
The integration of AI within the oil and gas industry is rapidly gaining momentum. With ongoing advancements, the future of formation evaluation promises transformative changes, leading to more-efficient and accurate reservoir characterization methodologies.

Authors: Ding Yi , Yang Xinyue , Zhang Wengang , Lyu Wei , Wang Mia Y. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

The surging infodemic of COVID-19-related rumors constitutes a tremendous societal challenge during the pandemic.Prior work has focused primarily on the psychological aspects of rumors, such as beliefs and behaviors evoked by rumors and the continued influence effect of rumors.Studying the brain activity of individuals who detect rumors is a straightforward method to comprehend how rumors are processed.However, Studies have consequently been scarce using such a method.In this study, we performed a trial to gather data on behavior and EEG activity while identifying rumors.Participants completed a task assessing credibility, where they read and evaluated the credibility of 80 randomly presented rumors.Only 22% of participants were able to identify false rumors more accurately than random chance in our study.The ERPs findings indicate that truth decisions elicit increased negative ERPs (N400) compared to false decisions, while false decisions result in larger positive ERPs (P2, P3, and LPP) than truth decisions.Furthermore, our research discovered gender disparities in information processing linked to brain function, potentially resulting from varying strategies utilized.Men showed greater positive P2 and improved N400 compared to women.Females exhibited greater P3 and LPP amplitudes than males when detecting the rumors.This study adds to existing research by being one of the initial efforts to explore the changing patterns of brain activity while processing rumors during the COVID-19 outbreak, and uncovering gender disparities in decision-making regarding rumors.

Abstract

Background With the development of society, people are gradually realizing the importance of nursing leadership, which is important for nursing services and the development of nurses. However, there is still a lack of research on nursing leadership in China, which is worthy of further research. Method Using convenient sampling, 263 nurses from three tertiary hospitals in Tianjin were selected and completed the leadership survey questionnaires for a cross-sectional survey study. The study included demographic characteristics, the Emotional Labor Scale, the Psychological Detachment Scale, the Perceived Organizational Support Scale, and the Clinical Leadership Survey. Descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis were performed on the data. Results The average leadership score of the clinical nurses was 4.53 ± 0.54 points. Clinical leadership was positively correlated with emotional labor (p < 0.01, r = 0.432) and perceived organizational support (p < 0.01, r = 0.538). Clinical leadership is negatively correlated with psychological detachment (r=-0.186, p < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis revealed that emotional labor (β = 0.304, p < 0.001) and perceived organizational support (β = 0.439, p < 0.001) accounted for 44.5% of the variance in nurses’ leadership after controlling for demographic variables. Conclusion Clinical nurses have a high level of leadership, and emotional labor and perceived organizational support are important influencing factors. This study provides important evidence for improving nurse leadership. Nursing managers should pay more attention to the psychological and emotional issues of nurses and provide better emotional and instrumental support for clinical nurses. This approach can improve the leadership level of nurses.

Abstract

Monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion played a pivotal role in the initial stages of Atherosclerosis (AS) progression, exacerbating lipid disturbance and worsening the condition. Rhodioloside (Rho), a renowned compound in traditional Chinese medicine, possesses diverse pharmacological attributes, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-metabolic dysregulation, and neuroprotective properties. However, the exact mechanism by which Rho exerts its anti-AS effect is still not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic benefits of Rho in combating AS. ApoE−/− mice were fed with a High Fat Diet (HFD) and administered Rho treatment. The investigation evaluated the expression levels of GATA2, CSN5, and VCAM-1 proteins in the endothelium of the aorta. The findings revealed that Rho treatment led to a reduction in the protein expression of GATA2, CSN5, and VCAM-1 in the aortic endothelium, accompanied by decreased phosphorylation of p65. Furthermore, Rho inhibited the ubiquitination of GATA2 and weakened the interaction between PP2Ac and I2PP2A. Additionally, Rho directly suppressed the transcriptional activity of the NF-κB subunit p65 by targeting the I2PP2A-PP2Ac axis.
Adjustable Fabrication and Evaluation of Regenerated Chitin Fibers with Partial Deacetylation
Authors: Xue Sen , Zhang Zihao , Zhang Guorui , Wu Kai , Tan Hong , Fu Qiang 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Chitin, distinguished by its nitrogen-rich acetamido and amino groups, imparts a distinctive cationic nature, enabling chitin with indispensable features in various applications. However, the degree of deacetylation (DD)- a key molecular-level structural determinant- has not been adequately addressed in prior studies despite its critical role in influencing chitin's properties across multiple scales. Here, by controlling the degree of acetylation, we achieved extensive tunability of the properties of regenerated chitin fibers and systematically investigated the effects of deacetylation on their structure-property relationship, relying on an aqueous KOH/urea solution green dissolution system. It is found that deacetylation is associated with the decrease of solution viscosity and the increase of solution stability, thereby improving the spinnability and augmenting the mechanical and antimicrobial qualities of fibers. Optimal overall performance is achieved with chitin exhibiting a DD of 30–40%. This work provides a deeper understanding of the structure, properties, and applications of chitin, and endows more possibilities for the production of regenerated chitin.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

The metabolic plasticity of tissues determines the degree and reversibility of organ damage under inflammatory challenges. Still, countermeasures for myocardial metabolic breakdown are absent while treating septic cardiomyopathy (SCM). Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide signaling is fundamental to cellular metabolic homeostasis and inflammatory reactions. Here we revealed that genetic and pharmacological inactivation of mono-ADP-ribosyl hydrolase MacroD1 enriched in cardiomyocytes counteracted myocardial metabolic impairment, inflammation, dysfunction, and mortality risk induced by lipopolysaccharide and cecal ligation and puncture in mice. Mechanistically, MacroD1 selectively modulated the mitochondrialcomplex I (MCI) activity most vulnerable to early sepsis. Its inhibition enhanced mono-ADP-ribosylation of NDUFB9, an accessory assembly factor of MCI proton-pumping module ND5, and therefore binding to ND5 for preserving MCI activity in sepsis, restraining bioenergetic deficiency, oxidative stress-coupled NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis of cardiomyocytes. Thus, MacroD1 dictates cardiac tolerance to sepsis by configuring MCI-coupled bioenergetic reserve and pyroptosis of cardiomyocytes. Blockade of MacroD1 promises specific prevention of SCM.
