Development, Feasibility, and Acceptability of the Electronic Patient Benefit Index for Psoriasis in Clinical Practice: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Otten Marina , Djamei Vahid , Augustin Matthias 
Published: August 2024

Background
Patient-reported outcomes are relevant in clinical practice showing patient benefits, supporting clinicians’ decision-making, and contributing to the delivery of high standards of care. Digital monitoring of patient-reported outcomes is still rare. The Patient Benefit Index (PBI) measures benefits and goals from patients’ views and may be relevant for regular documentation and shared decision-making.

Objective
This study aimed to develop electronic versions of the PBI to examine their feasibility and acceptability in clinical practice for patients with psoriasis.

Methods
We developed an app and a web version of the existing, valid PBI using focus groups and cognitive debriefings with patients before conducting a quantitative survey on its feasibility and acceptability. Conduction took part in an outpatient dermatology care unit in Germany. Descriptive and subgroup analyses were conducted.

Results
A total of 139 patients completed the electronic PBIs (ePBIs) and took part in the survey. The ePBI was understandable (n=129-137, 92.8%-98.6%) and feasible, for example, easy to read (n=135, 97.1%) and simple to handle (n=137, 98.5%). Acceptability was also high, for example, patients can imagine using and discussing the ePBI data in practice (n=91, 65.5%) and documenting it regularly (n=88, 63.3%). They believe it could support treatment decisions (n=118, 84.9%) and improve communication with their physician (n=112, 81.3%). They can imagine filling in electronic questionnaires regularly (n=118, 84.9%), even preferring electronic over paper versions (n=113, 81.2%). Older and less educated people show less feasibility, but the latter expected the relationship with their physician to improve and would be more willing to invest time or effort.

Conclusions
The app and web version of the PBI are usable and acceptable for patients offering comprehensive documentation and patient participation in practice. An implementation strategy should consider patients’ needs, barriers, and facilitators but also physicians’ attitudes and requirements from the health care system.
A Study on Text Cohesion in Senior High Students’ Continuation Writing Based on Coh-Metrix
Authors: Huang Ting 
Published: August 2024

Continuation writing is a new type of writing task introduced in the Chinese college entrance examination reform. Text cohesion is essential for a well-written continuation. Cohesion in a text can be explicit, involving language-level textual cohesion, or implicit, involving semantic-level meaning continuity. This study uses the text analysis software Coh-Metrix to analyze the cohesion in high school students’ English continuation writing. It explores the features of coherence in these writings from both the explicit language usage and the implicit semantic continuity, and the differences between the high-scoring group and the low-scoring group, aiming to provide effective teaching suggestions and references for English teachers.

Published: August 2024

This study aimed to examine the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, ostracism and depression among young adults in Shah Alam, Malaysia. This research was made to contribute a clearer understanding of the prevalence of depression amongst young adults. The study used a quantitative, cross-sectional research design with non-probability sampling and the data was analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). Two hundred fifty respondents aged 18 - 29 from Shah Alam, Malaysia, participated. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 Items (DASS-21), Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire and Ostracism Experiences Scale (OES) were used in this study. Results have shown that there is a significant relationship between adverse childhood experiences, ostracism, and depression among young adults. Direct effects were assessed in a structural model. Adverse childhood experiences and ostracism both have significant effects on depression. Adverse childhood experiences positively affect depression (β = 0.423, p < 0.001), while ostracism also has an adverse effect on depression (β = 0.534, p < 0.001). In conclusion, these findings contribute to the knowledge that early life traumatic events and ignorance can influence a young adult psychologically.
Students value relationship building in a student mentorship program
Authors: Koziol Jennifer H. , Wagner Sarah A. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To assess the needs and values of students regarding a new mentoring program.

METHODS
An online survey was developed and sent to veterinary students through institutional email at the beginning and end of the year of initiating a faculty-student mentorship program

RESULTS
In September and May, the most commonly desired outcome of the program for students was the building of relationships. In the fall, the most anticipated concerns were that the meetings would not occur or there would be incompatibility between mentors and mentees. In the spring, the most common concerns were that some faculty were disinterested or meetings did not happen.

CONCLUSIONS
The experiences of veterinary students in the faculty-student mentoring program were often positive but variable. At the outset, students were hoping to build relationships through the program, and in May, some of them reported that this objective had been fulfilled. However, some students expressed frustration with faculty disengagement with the program. A faculty-student mentorship program has the potential to build relationships between students and faculty when faculty are engaged participants in the program.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Based on our findings, students are eager to build relationships with faculty within the context of a faculty-student mentorship program, and this goal is achievable. However, much depends on the engagement and participation of the faculty, which was incomplete using our approach of assigning all faculty to participate.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Objective. The hormonal balance is dependent on the internal and external stimuli. The baseline cortisol (BC) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels have been observed to vary and have a predictive value in critical illness settings. Few reports have studied their variation in non-severe acute illness. The present study aims to describe the variation of BC and TSH levels and to determine the factors influencing BC and TSH levels in patients admitted with non-severe acute illness.

Patients and Methods. This is a cross-sectional study of patients admitted to Infectious Diseases and Endocrinology units at the Department of Endocrinology-Diabetology and Internal Medicine at Tahar Sfar University Hospital between March 15th and September 15th, 2020. BC and TSH levels were obtained during the hospitalization.

Results. A total of 143 patients were included in this study with 75 presenting with infection. All infections were community-acquired and predominantly non-severe. The BC levels were higher in patients with infection (p=0.004), especially those admitted via the emergency department (p=0.009) with a fever (p=0.015). The BC positively correlated with the temperature (p=0.002, r’=0.350), CRP levels (p=0.002, r’=0.355), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (p=0.045, r’=0.235), and SOFA score (p=0.023, r’=0.262). On the other hand, TSH levels were comparable in the presence of infection (p=0.400). TSH levels did not correlate with the fever, the severity of infection, or inflammation biomarkers. Both BC and TSH did not predict unfavorable outcomes in non-severe infected patients.

Conclusion. In patients admitted with critical acute infections, the BC levels seem to indicate a relatively more severe infectious state. On the other hand, TSH levels did not show significant variations in these patients.

Published: August 2024

Background
The outcome of kidney transplantation is determined by multiple factors and infections represent one of the major factors affecting graft and patient survival. Recent COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected the transplant population. Very little data is available on post-transplant infections and patient survival from India.

Materials and Methods
In this retrospective observational study, data related to post-transplant infections from patients who had undergone renal transplantation between October 2014 and October 2021 were collected.

Results
A total of 255 infections episodes were observed in 118 patients. Bacterial infections were the most common (55%) followed by viral (35%), fungal (5%), mycobacterial (4%), and parasitic (1%). The most common bacterial and viral infections were urinary tract infections (70.5%) and COVID-19 (56%), respectively. BK virus and COVID-19 were associated with increased graft loss (p < 0.05). The majority of deaths due to infections were related to COVID-19 infection (71.42%). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed 1-, 3-, and 5-year patient survival of 98.23%, 96.36%, and 92.90% and graft survival of 98.14%, 95.97%, and 91.78, respectively.

Conclusion
Infections with their adverse impact remain a concern in kidney transplant patients. Comparable patient and graft survival to the Western data despite the high infection burden and the COVID-19 pandemic suggests that effective management can reduce the impact of infections on survival.

Published: August 2024

Background:
Intranasal meningoencephaloceles are rarely encountered in pediatric neurosurgery. The symptoms and clinical features may mimic those of nasal polyps or dermoid cysts. Transethmoidal meningoencephalocele is a rare congenital meningoencephalocele of the anterior skull base with diverse clinical presentation. The appropriate surgical intervention is chosen according to the meningoencephalocele type and location. Radiological examinations such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are helpful for the differential diagnosis of the encephalocele sac and localization of the cranial bone defect.

Case Description:
We are reporting a case of basal meningoencephalocele of the transethmoidal type, which was discovered in a 20-day-old boy presenting with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, respiratory distress, difficulty in feeding, and meningitis. The preoperative images showed a large herniated intranasal sac with bony discontinuity of the cribriform plate; however, three discrete defects of the cribriform plate with their related discrete herniated sacs were identified intraoperatively. Two staged surgeries were performed in succession: transcranial to separate the sacs from the cranial cavity and seal the anterior fossa floor, followed by transnasal to remove the remnant of the intranasal sacs. Patient symptoms and signs markedly improved after the surgeries.

Conclusion:
We highlight the need for urgent intervention at a very young age if the clinical presentation mandates, and also the importance of meticulous intraoperative identification of all bony and dural defects that might be missed in preoperative images to ensure complete repair and prevent recurrence.
A rescue treatment to release the twist of a flow re-direction endoluminal device
Authors: Kanazawa Ryuzaburo , Uchida Takanori , Higashida Tetsuhiro , Kono Takao , Ebise Hiroki , Kuniyoshi Noboru 
Published: August 2024

Background:
A flow redirection endoluminal device (FRED) is a widely used flow diverter stent. Although high technical success and good treatment results were reported in the SAFE study, cases of technical failure of deployment have also been reported. A case in which a FRED was deployed with the proximal part twisted, but successful deployment was achieved, is presented.

Case Description:
A woman in her 40s was diagnosed with a left internal carotid artery aneurysm during radiological investigations for headaches. Due to her family’s strong history of cerebral aneurysms, she opted for preventive treatment. A 5.5-mm FRED was selected because the proximal vessel diameter was ≥5 mm. However, the stent was deployed with the proximal side twisted. Fortunately, using a Scepter C and a CHIKAI 315 cm, the true lumen could be secure, the wire was guided distally, and the FRED was successfully placed. Later, with the patient’s consent, a 3D blood vessel model was created, and whether the stent was difficult to open or whether it was just a technical problem which was verified experimentally. Precisely, the same situation as during the surgery was recreated, and the stent was deployed in the same way.

Conclusion:
A FRED is an effective device, but there are cases of difficult deployment. The present method may be an option if a FRED is difficult to open.

Published: August 2024

Background:
Cranial nerve palsy (CNP) in patients with intracranial aneurysms (IAs) can impose significant burdens on a patient’s quality of life. The literature has a paucity of reviews addressing patterns of overall reported cranial nerve (CN) involvement and outcomes in patients with IA.

Methods:
The literature systematically reviewed CNP at presentation in the setting of IA using PubMed, Web-of-Science, and Scopus according to the PRISMA guidelines.

Results:
Fifty-two studies reported a total of 513 patients with IA and 630 CNPs observed at presentation: oculomotor (58.25%), abducent (15.87%), optic (12.06%), trochlear (8.7%), and trigeminal (1.9%). Most common aneurysms are located in a posterior communicating artery (46%) and cavernous internal carotid artery (29.2%). Trends of CNP based on the rupture status of IAs showed that 80% were associated with unruptured IAs and 20% with ruptured IAs. Post-treatment of IA, 55% of patients had complete resolution of CNP, with most (89%; n = 134) resolving within the first 6 months. Stratified by CNP type: Complete resolution rate is 100% in CN VII–IX, 60% in CN VI, 59% in CN IV, 54% in CN III, 45% in CN V, and 43% in CN II.

Conclusion:
In patients with cranial nerve palsies attributed to IAs, the location and rupture status of the aneurysm could determine the type and severity of the nerve palsy. Most patients experienced favorable outcomes in terms of their resolution and long-term function of the CNP after treatment of the IA.
Neuroanatomical refinement of Kocher’s point for enhanced precision in ventriculostomy: A technical note and a literature review
Authors: Sulaiman Injam Ibrahim 
Published: August 2024

Background:
This study was designed to assess the effectiveness and safety of using a modified Kocher’s point for ventriculostomy using endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and external ventricular drainage (EVD) in 200 patients at PAR Private Hospital in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan.

Methods:
In this retrospective analysis, a total of 200 patients who were diagnosed with obstructive hydrocephalus and underwent ETV and EVD utilizing a modified entry site were included. The revised Kocher point was located 11.5 cm posterior and superior to the nasion, 3 cm laterally, and 0–1 cm before the coronal suture.

Results:
The use of this modified Kocher’s point has brought much improvement in surgical precision and safety. This would minimize incidences of bleeding and misplacement of the catheters. The anatomical structure was well organized, and nothing was challenging in the process of traversing through the foramen of Monro into the third ventricle. It was easily introduced through the modified Kocher point with increasing efficacy and near zero possibility of sustaining injury to the limiting cerebral region.

Conclusion:
Using the modified point of Kocher provides added reliability and accuracy to ventriculostomy, thereby reducing complications and increasing the overall outcome of surgeries. It overcomes all the drawbacks of classical entry sites and, further, helps in increasing the productivity of ETV and EVD. More research must be done to support the benefits of this modification in other clinical settings.

Substitute Heirs : an Overview from Perception and Role Of Ustad in Bengkulu, Indonesia
Authors: Yusmita Yusmita , Usmani Adnan Ahmed 
Published: August 2024

Legal rules regarding substitute heirs are regulated in Article 183 of the Compilation of Islamic Law, which stipulates that heirs who die earlier than heirs can be replaced by their children. Ideally, this rule of law has been disseminated to the community. Ustadz is an officer who directly delivers Islamic laws to the community. The type of this research is descriptive-qualitative research. The research subjects were Ustad who gave religious lectures to taklim assembly in Bengkulu City and the congregation of the taklim assembly. Data collection techniques using interviews. From the results of the study, it can be seen that the majority of Ustad in Bengkulu City do not master Islamic inheritance material, especially the rules regarding substitute heirs. Because of that they rarely convey inheritance material to the public. Regarding the role of Ustad in Bengkulu City in socializing the rules for substitute heirs, they have not played much of this due to several factors. The first factor is that they don't know much about the Islamic inheritance system, especially about the rules of surrogate heirs. Because of that, they did not convey this material to the public. The second factor, the community did not ask them about inheritance problems because they were not interested in studying it more deeply. The third factor, most people use adat in resolving the distribution of inheritance, and if there is a dispute, it is resolved by custom, then the Islamic inheritance rules regarding inheritance distribution, especially substitute heirs, are not a requirement for Bengkulu City Muslims. The institution responsible for disseminating legal regulations that regulate Indonesian Muslims is the Ministry of Religion
