Information-motivation-behavioral guided nursing for stroke patients with pulmonary dysfunction: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Peng Xia , Ni Hui-Qin , Liu Yong-Mei , Zhu Jin-Ling , Bai Yu-Ting 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Patients with stroke frequently experience pulmonary dysfunction.
AIM
To explore the effects of information-motivation-behavioral (IMB) skills model-based nursing care on pulmonary function, blood gas indices, complication rates, and quality of life (QoL) in stroke patients with pulmonary dysfunction.
METHODS
We conducted a controlled study involving 120 stroke patients with pulmonary dysfunction. The control group received routine care, whereas the intervention group received IMB-model-based nursing care. Various parameters including pulmonary function, blood gas indices, complication rates, and QoL were assessed before and after the intervention.
RESULTS
Baseline data of the control and intervention groups were comparable. Post-intervention, the IMB model-based care group showed significant improvements in pulmonary function indicators, forced expiratory volume in 1 sec, forced vital capacity, and peak expiratory flow compared with the control group. Blood gas indices, such as arterial oxygen pressure and arterial oxygen saturation, increased significantly, and arterial carbon dioxide partial. pressure decreased significantly in the IMB model-based care group compared with the control group. The intervention group also had a lower complication rate (6.67% vs 23.33%) and higher QoL scores across all domains than the control group.
CONCLUSION
IMB model-based nursing care significantly enhanced pulmonary function, improved blood gas indices, reduced complication rates, and improved the QoL of stroke patients with pulmonary dysfunction. Further research is needed to validate these results and to assess the long-term efficacy and broader applicability of the model.
Endometrial carcinoma with cervical stromal invasion: Three case reports
Authors: Liu Ming-Ming , Liang Yu-Ting , Jin Er-Hu 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Endometrial cancer is a kind of well-known tumors of female genitourinary system. Cervical stromal invasion is an adverse factor for poor prognosis of endometrial cancer. There is still controversy regarding the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of cervical stromal invasion of endometrial cancer. The diagnosis of cervical stromal invasion varies significantly between different observers and institutions. We present a limited case series of the particular pattern of endometrial cancer, which infiltrates the cervical stroma and is often overlooked.
CASE SUMMARY
We present three cases of endometrial carcinoma with cervical stromal invasion with cancer-free uterine cavity. One patient, a reproductive-aged woman, exhibited irregular menstruation and was diagnosed with endometrial polyps by hysteroscopy and segmental curettage. A MRI scan revealed polypoid nodules within the internal cervical orifice. The other two cases were postmenopausal women who presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Hysteroscopy and segmental curettage suggested atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium. MRI scans did not detect any malignant signs in the endometrium. In one case, a non-thickened endometrium was observed, while in another, hyperplasia of the endometrium was seen. Notably, none of these patients had malignant tumors identified in the uterine cavity via MRI scans. However, postoperative pathological results following hysterectomy consistently indicated cervical stromal invasion.
CONCLUSION
Cervical stromal invasion is easily missed if no cancer is found in the uterine body on MRI. Immunohistochemistry of endoscopic curettage specimens should be conducted to avoid underestimation of the disease.
Are all primary omental infarcts truly idiopathic? Five case reports
Authors: Kar Haldun , Khabbazazar Danial , Acar Nihan , Karasu Şebnem , Bağ Halis , Cengiz Fevzi , Dilek Osman Nuri 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Idiopathic omental infarction (IOI) is challenging to diagnose due to its low incidence and vague symptoms. Its differential diagnosis also poses difficulties because it can mimic many intra-abdominal organ pathologies. Although hypercoagulability and thrombosis are among the causes of omental infarction, venous thromboembolism scanning is rarely performed as an etiological investigation.
CASE SUMMARY
The medical records of the 5 cases, who had the diagnosis of IOI by computed tomography, were examined. The majority of the patients were male (n = 4, 80%) and the mean age was 31 years (range: 21-38). The patients had no previous abdominal surgery or a history of any chronic disease. The main complaint of all patients was persistent abdominal pain. Omental infarction was detected in all patients with contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Conservative treatment was initially preferred in all patients, but it failed in 1 patient (20%). After discharge, all patients were referred to the hematology department for thrombophilia screening. Only 1 patient applied for thrombophilia screening and was homozygous for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (A1298C mutation) and heterozygous for a factor V Leiden mutation.
CONCLUSION
IOI should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with progressive and/or persistent right side abdominal pain. Investigating risk factors such as hypercoagulability in patients with IOI is also important in preventing future conditions related to venous thromboembolism.
Treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and prevention of non-alcoholic Wernicke’s disease: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Ma Yu-Yang , He Xiao-Chan , Gao Yu , Ma Tian-Tian , Cheng Gong , Yue Chang-Wu 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Wernicke encephalopathy is a neurological disorder caused by thiamine deficiency, commonly seen in alcoholic populations but also involving other circumstances that may lead to thiamine deficiency. The recognition of Wernicke encephalopathy often depends on clinicians’ keen ability to detect its typical triad of features; however, most cases do not present with the full constellation of signs, which complicates the timely identification of Wernicke encephalopathy.
CASE SUMMARY
This case report describes a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who developed abnormal ocular function and ataxia following concurrent chemoradiotherapy, without a history of alcohol abuse. With the aid of radiological examinations, he received a timely diagnosis and treatment; however, his symptoms did not fully resolve during follow-up.
CONCLUSION
For patients with malignant tumors exhibiting neurological symptoms, clinicians should consider the possibility of Wernicke encephalopathy and provide prophylactic thiamine therapy.

Published: July 2024

Background
The heightened risk of dementia resulting from multiple comorbid conditions calls for innovative strategies. Engaging in physical and cognitive activities emerges as a protective measure against cognitive decline. This protocol aims to discuss a multidomain intervention targeting individuals with dementias secondary to cerebrovascular or other medical diseases, emphasizing an often underrepresented demographic.

Methods
This study primary objectives are: a) to identify patients affected by Neurocognitive disorder due to vascular disease or multiple etiologies (screening and diagnostic phase) and b) to evaluate the effectiveness of distinct rehabilitation protocols (intervention phase): motor training alone, paper-based cognitive rehabilitation combined with motor training, digital-based cognitive rehabilitation coupled with motor training.

Discussion
Identifying cognitive impairment beyond rigid neurological contexts can facilitate timely and targeted interventions. This protocol strives to address the complex interplay of cognitive decline and comorbidities through a multidimensional approach, providing insights that can shape future interventions and enhancing overall well-being in this vulnerable population.

Trial registration
The study has been registered on July 13, 2023 with the ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05954741 registration number (https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05954741).
Methods to advance health equity and social justice in healthcare: Protocol for a scoping review on the utilisation of routinely collected data
Authors: Chadd Katie , Caute Anna , Pettican Anna , Enderby Pam 
Published: July 2024

Background
Many areas of healthcare are impacted by a paucity of research that is translatable to clinical practice. Research utilising real-world data, such as routinely collected patient data, may be one option to efficiently create evidence to inform practice and service delivery. Such studies are also valuable for exploring (in)equity of services and outcomes, and benefit from using non-selected samples representing the diversity of the populations served in the ‘real world’. This scoping review aims to identify and map the published research which utilises routinely collected clinical healthcare data. A secondary aim is to explore the extent to which this literature supports the pursuit of social justice in health, including health inequities and intersectional approaches.

Method
This review utilises Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework for scoping reviews and draws on the recommended enhancements of this framework to promote a team-based and mixed methods approach. This includes searching electronic databases and screening papers based on a pre-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data relevant to the research aims will be extracted from included papers, including the clinical/professional area of the topic, the source of data that was used, and whether it addresses elements of social justice. All screening and reviewing will be collaborative and iterative, drawing on strengths of the research team and responsive changes to challenges will be made. Quantitative data will be analysed descriptively, and conceptual content analysis will be utilised to understand qualitative data. These will be collectively synthesised in alignment to the research aims.

Conclusion
Our findings will highlight the extent to which such research is being conducted and published, including gaps and make recommendations for future endeavours for real-world data studies. The findings from this scoping review will be relevant for practitioners and researchers, as well as health service managers, commissioners, and research funders.

Are Salafis and Pentecostals the Same? How Orthodox and Sufi Mediation Practices Shape Responses to Reformism in Gondar, Ethiopia
Authors: Dulin John 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Many Orthodox Christians and Sufi Muslims in Ethiopia put Salafis and Pentecostals in the same category. Because both denounce the intercessory powers of otherworldly figures, like saints and awaliyya, some claim Salafis are “like Pentes.” Some refer to the similar mediation practices of Sufis and Orthodox Christians to paint Pentecostals/Salafis as other, as foreign. This article explores how these discursive parallels play out in practical interactions in Gondar, Ethiopia, a historical center of Ethiopian Orthodoxy with a sizable Muslim minority. In some ways, Orthodox-Pentecostal relations mirror Sufi-Salafi relations because of similarities in Orthodox and Sufi mediation practices. However, the Sufi–Salafi boundary is relatively porous due to the detachability of Sufi practices of intercession from more encompassing practices like salat and Ramadan. Pentecostal–Orthodox boundaries are more robust in part because the intercession of Saints infuses all levels of Orthodox practice. This boundary becomes particularly sharp in the context of funerals.
Answering the Protestant Challenge: Orthodox Christianity as Counterreformation in Southern Ethiopia
Authors: Sommerschuh Julian 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
What makes Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity attractive to southern Ethiopians? Aari in the South Ethiopia Regional State formerly rejected Orthodoxy as the religion of their northern Ethiopian conquerors. Attempts made under the empire to convert Aari remained without lasting success. In recent years, however, Orthodoxy has gained followers among conservative Aari. I explain Orthodoxy's attractiveness in the light of the rapid post-1991 growth of Protestantism and the corresponding decline of the indigenous Aari religion. Contrary to the derelict institutions of the indigenous religion, the Orthodox Church is felt to have spiritual authority and to afford a viable ritual community. And while conservative Aari reject Protestantism as excessively egalitarian, individualist, and puritan, Orthodoxy resonates with them for placing value on hierarchy, mediation, and feasting. For conservative Aari, Orthodoxy thus offers an answer to the Protestant challenge. Becoming Orthodox allows conservatives to defend and rearticulate moral and spiritual values which have long guided them, while also accessing the prestige of a religion Aari associate with northern elites. This shows that understanding the attractiveness of Orthodoxy in contemporary southern Ethiopia requires appreciating the imperial history of south–north relations and the post-1991 history of religious liberalization.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church in the Context of State Reformation
Authors: Feyissa Dereje , Zeleke Meron 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
There was a historical and political intimacy between the Ethiopian Tewahido Orthodox Church (EOTC) and the Ethiopian state until their relationship was profoundly modified after the 1974 Revolution and the secular rupture connected to that. This was followed by political reforms by successive governments, which have had a leveling effect on the religious field. The country's religious minorities—Muslims and Protestants—have been engaged in recognition politics progressively attaining rights on par with the EOTC. This rebalancing is perceived to have come at the expense of the EOTC—from the decoupling of the Ethiopian nation from Orthodoxy, a continuous decline in the number of members of the Church, to a feeling of being persecuted and the siege mentality connected to that. While responding to these external challenges, the EOTC has also experienced internal rifts that pose existential threats not only to maintain its historically constituted hegemony but also continue to exist as a united church. This contribution critically appraises the political journey of the EOTC in the long longue durée and with a relational lens, i.e., from its trajectory from being at the center of the Ethiopian state and an established religion, to the various external and internal challenges the Church has faced in the context of the process of state reformation and how it has sought to regain and maintain its hegemony, or at least negotiate its decline through the deployment of various strategies.
Kesalahpahaman Barat tentang Perempuan Muslim: Kritik Lila Abu- Lughod dalam Do Muslim Women Need Saving?
Authors: Primadhany Erry Fitrya , Maimunah  
Published: July 2024

Kalangan Barat menganggap bahwa persoalan keterbatasan hak perempuan Muslim masih sering terjadi. Persoalan tata cara berpakaian, kejahatan kehormatan dan lainnya dianggap sebagai batasan-batasan bagi seorang Muslim. Anggapan tersebut memicu pesan bahwa “perempuan muslim perlu diselamatkan”. Lila Abu-Lughod melalui karyanya “Do Women Muslim Need Saving” mencoba untuk mengkiritisi anggapan ini. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kepustakaan. Sumber data berupa buku dan jurnal yang berkaitan dengan feminisme dan buku karya Lila Abu Lughod yang berjudul “Do Women Muslim Need Saving?”. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perlu pengkajian ulang mengenai asumsi Barat terhadap Islam khususnya perempuan Muslim. Perempuan Muslim menjalankan aktifitasnya sesuai dengan apa yang diyakini. Segala ketidakadilan yang menimpa perempuan Muslim pada dasarnya merupakan kasus yang berlaku secara global kepada siapa saja tidak hanya perempuan yang beragama Islam. Apabila terdapat ketidakadilan maka hal tersebut bukanlah datang dari Agama Islam melainkan pada tatanan sosial, budaya, kebijakan Pemerintah dan lain sebagainya. Karena di dalam Islam, hak-hak seorang Muslim telah dijamin tanpa membedakan baik laki-laki ataupun perempuan.
[Westerners think that the issue of limited Muslim women's rights still occurs frequently. For example, the issue of dress codes, honor crimes and others. This assumption triggers the message that "Muslim women need to be saved". Lila Abu-Lughod through her work “Do Women Muslim Need Saving” tries to criticize it. This paper uses the library method. The data sources are books and journals related to feminism and a book by Lila Abu Lughod entitled “Do Women Muslims Need Saving?”. The results obtained indicate that there is a need to review Western assumptions about Islam, especially regarding Muslim women. Muslim women carry out their activities in accordance with what is believed. All injustices that befell Muslim women are basically cases that apply globally to anyone, not only women who are Muslim. If there is injustice then it does not come from religion but social conditions, government and so on. Because in Islam, rights are guaranteed regardless of whether men or women.]
Listening to the Virtual Greenhouse: Musics, Sounding, and Online Plantcare
Authors: McGhee Cana F. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Plantcare is having a moment. Recent years have seen an outpouring of audiovisual content across several social media platforms, wherein humans film and photograph themselves taking care of houseplants. These self-proclaimed “plant moms” build community through their shared passion for caring for houseplants and showing this form of tree-hugging to a wider community. In this contribution, I theorize this plant-filled digital terrain as a virtual greenhouse, a space where humans can perform with and show off their collections of houseplants. This virtual greenhouse points to how plantcare becomes a space to play with expectations of humanness apart from human–animal boundaries. Furthermore, contrary to notions of plants as being silent or inaudible lifeforms, this virtual greenhouse is rich with music and sound. Following an exploration of the overarching features of plantcare content and other kinds of digital human–nonhuman representations, I describe how creators in the virtual greenhouse use ASMR-like techniques, acousmatic narration, and reinterpretations of popular music to make their intimate relationships with nonhuman life audible. This contribution demonstrates how these human–plant assemblages engage with a “back-to-nature” environmentalism and present opportunities to reframe human–nonhuman relationships through creative practice.
Finding continuers in Swedish Sign Language
Authors: Börstell Carl 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In this paper, I use methods from corpus linguistics and computer vision to find candidates for continuers – that is, conversational markers that signal comprehension and encouragement to the primary speaker/signer to continue – in a corpus of Swedish Sign Language (STS). Using different methods based on distributional patterns in conversational turns, I identify a small set of manual signs – particularly the sign JA@ub ‘yes’ – that exhibit the characteristics associated with continuers, such as occurring frequently in repeated sequences of overlapping but noncompetitive turns. The identified signs correspond to those found in previous research on manual backchannels in STS, demonstrating that quantitative, distribution-based approaches are successful in identifying continuers. In a second step, I employ methods from computer vision to analyze a subset of the corpus videos, and find that the continuer candidates show interesting form characteristics: they are small in visible articulation and thus conversationally unobtrusive by often being articulated low and with little movement in signing space. The results show that distribution-based approaches can be used successfully with sign language corpus data, and that the nature of continuers exhibits similarities across modalities of human language.
