Authors: Mehri Zahra , Kheiry Fatemeh , Rakhshan Mahnaz 
Published: July 2024

Background:
Self-care, disease knowledge, and hope are critical concepts in health-related studies. Therefore, all three are considered solutions for controlling heart failure (HF) and reducing its complications. This study aimed to identify the predictive influence of disease knowledge and hope on self-care behavior among adults with HF.

Materials and Methods:
This descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study examined the data of 113 HF patients referred to the Imam Reza Clinic in Shiraz, Iran, in 2021. This study used HF patients’ self-care instruments based on Orem’s self-care theory, the HF Knowledge Scale-Persian version, and the Heart Hope Index-Persian version. The data were analyzed using the general linear model (GLM) and Pearson’s correlation coefficients.

Results:
Of the 113 HF patients, 54.90% (n = 62) were male, and 45.10% (n = 51) were female. The analysis of the Pearson correlation coefficient indicated the presence of a positive and significant correlation between “self-care and hope” (r = 0.532, P = 0.0001), “HF knowledge and hope” (r = 0.432, P = 0.0001), and “self-care and HF knowledge” (r = 0.410, P = 0.0001). GLM showed that HF knowledge symptoms (P = 0.0001), hope (P = 0.0001), unemployed patients (P = 0.042), and housewife patients (P = 0.0001) predicted self-care behavior of HF patients.

Conclusion:
Considering the positive and significant correlation between “self-care and HF knowledge,” “self-care and hope,” and “HF knowledge and hope,” it seems necessary for doctors and nurses should pay attention to providing educational programs to increase HF knowledge to improve self-care and hope in HF patients.
Developmental outcome of neonates underwent exchange transfusion due to hyperbilirubinemia: A single-center experience
Authors: Najib Khadije Sadat , Ostovar Leila , Rezaei Mehrdad , Barzegar Hamide 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND:
Exchange transfusion due to hyperbilirubinemia is performed in neonates with signs of encephalopathy or if the level of bilirubin is more than the exchange threshold and not responding to intensive phototherapy. Bilirubin passage through the blood–brain barrier can cause injury to different sites of the brain and may have long-life effects. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the neonates who underwent exchange transfusion and investigated their developmental problems. By recognizing their developmental delay, we can recommend screening time and early occupational therapy if needed.

METHODS AND MATERIAL:
This is a retrospective study on neonates who underwent exchange transfusion due to hyperbilirubinemia in Namazi and Hafez hospitals, in Shiraz, Iran, between 2016 and 2021. The exclusion criteria were the unwillingness of the parents to participate in the study or incomplete data. Children who died were also excluded from the study. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from hospital records. Children were invited to the clinic for examination, and development was assessed by Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ). All neonates had done auditory brainstem response. The result was obtained. Quantitative data are reported as mean standard deviation (SD) and qualitative data with frequency and percentage. Spearman’s correlation coefficient and Chi-square test were used, and the P value was significant below 0.05.

RESULTS:
Eighty-seven neonates were enrolled. Forty-nine (56.3%) were female, and 38 (43.7%) were male. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PD) deficiency was the most prevalent hematologic cause of hyperbilirubinemia (23%). Auditory disorder, speech disorder, motor disorder, and encephalopathy were seen in four (4.6%), two (2.3%), three (3.4%), and four infants (4.6%), respectively.

CONCLUSION:
Bilirubin neurotoxicity can cause developmental impairment including auditory, speech, and motor disorders besides encephalopathy. Early recognition and proper early intervention can lead to better outcomes for the child, family, and society.

Published: July 2024

Objective:
The study emphasizes the importance of parental awareness regarding complications and surgical procedures associated with pediatric adenotonsillar hypertrophy.

Methodology:
A descriptive cross-sectional survey was used targeting parents of children aged 1–14 years in the Aseer region of Saudi Arabia. The sample size was 301 individuals. It includes parents of children between the ages of 1 and 14 years who are living in the Aseer region. Exclusion criteria involve anyone who does not live in the Aseer region, <18 years, and nonparents of children between the ages of 1 and 14 years.

Results:
The data presented are based on 301 people who volunteered to participate in the survey; a considerable majority of participants, 71.4%, correctly identified that recurrent adenotonsillitis could induce tonsil and adenoidal enlargement. However, 28.6% of respondents answered this question incorrectly.

Conclusions:
Our findings emphasize the necessity of parental education on the risks and surgical procedures related to adenotonsillar hypertrophy in pediatric patients. While some areas of knowledge were well recognized, there is an obvious need for additional education.
Bilateral ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block versus intravenous patient-controlled-analgesia ketamine for total abdominal laparoscopic hysterectomy
Authors: Ali Hani G. , ELneegery Naglaa A. E. 
Published: July 2024

Background
Total abdominal laparoscopic hysterectomy patients experience pain in various degrees mediated via the thoracic sympathetic trunk as well as parasympathetic afferent nerves. The bilateral quadratus lumborum block (QLB) was believed to provide somatic as well as visceral pain relief however the use of anesthetic agents is associated with increased side effects. IV-Patient-controlled analgesia ketamine is suggested to play an effective role in acute pain management. Also, it increases patient satisfaction with decreased side effects as it reduces the levels of the consumed opioids.

Patient and methods
This prospective study was done in Mansoura University hospitals from December 2022 to May 2023. The study was conducted on 100 patients. Our study included patients who were categorized into two groups. All patients underwent total abdominal laparoscopic hysterectomy with the first group underwent ultrasound-guided bilateral QLB and the second group administered IV ketamine via Patient-controlled analgesia for pain management.

Results
At 30 min postoperative there was no significant difference between the two groups regarding visual analog scale score. Visual analog scale score was significantly higher in group I after 1 h postoperative and until 36 h. Postoperative Morphine consumption was significantly lower in group I. Pruritis was significantly higher in group I. Bradycardia and hypotension were significantly higher in group II.

Conclusion
Bilateral QLB was more potent than intravenous ketamine.

Abstract

Introduction:
Individuals with psychiatric disorders tend to report having poorer bonds with their parents during their early years. These individuals often experience lower quality of life as well. This study investigated the associations between aspects of parental bonding and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a clinical sample of youths. It was hypothesised that high parental care and low parental overprotectiveness would be associated with higher levels of HRQOL.

Methods:
Data were obtained from a larger cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 400 psychiatric outpatients: 191 patients aged 14–21 (mean ± standard deviation 18.1 ± 2.22) years and 209 patients aged 22–35 (28.0 ± 4.33) years. The Parental Bonding Instrument was used to measure parental care and overprotectiveness. Short Form-12 measured physical health (physical component summary [PCS]) and mental health (mental component summary [MCS]) components of HRQOL, and the 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire assessed depressive symptoms. These scales and a sociodemographic form were self-administered. Multivariable linear regression was used for analysis.

Results:
About half of the sample reported affectionless control for mothers (46.6%) and fathers (45.9%). After controlling for sociodemographic variables, no significant relationship was found between aspects of parental bonding and PCS scores. Maternal care was associated with MCS scores (β = 0.32, P < 0.01) and PHQ-8 scores (β = -0.12, P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Our results suggest that youths who experienced quality care from their mothers exhibit better mental health functioning despite their clinical diagnoses, which suggests that early maternal care exerts an overall long-term protective effect. Early parental education that promotes positive parenting practices could improve the overall HRQOL of individuals in adulthood despite their clinical diagnoses.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Arterial-enteric fistulas are a rare but devastating complication that can occur as a result of surgery or radiation exposure. Although this condition is most frequently seen following manipulation of the vasculature, especially in the presence of the vascular graft, other causes have been reported. Twenty-five cases have been reported in the literature, mostly related to previous vascular grafts. We present a case of ileal artery to sigmoid colon fistulas caused by previous resection of bladder cancer and radiation.
A Novel Method of Treating Rectal Diverticulum Using Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS)
Authors: Kaneko Yui , Strugnell Neil 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Rectal diverticula are extremely rare with an incidence of less than 0.1% of colonic diverticular disease cases, and the factors that contribute to their evolution are poorly understood. Majority of the cases are diagnosed incidentally, and they are usually clinically asymptomatic and carry a low risk of developing complications; therefore, treatment is not required in most cases. Surgery is generally performed only in the event of complications or when they become symptomatic, such as with the development of obstructive defecation with an impacted fecalith within the diverticulum. As it is a rare entity, there is currently no consensus on the surgical management of rectal diverticulum. Here, we describe a novel and effective method of surgical management of rectal diverticulum utilizing transanal minimally invasive surgery.

A Composite Filter-Based Approach for Artifact Elimination and Segmentation of EEG Signal for Application in Brain-Computer Interface
Authors: Paul Avishek , Pal Saurabh , Mitra Madhuchhanda 
Published: July 2024

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is one of the important bio signals which can characterize different states of action. These signals are often contaminated with different artifacts. Dominant artifacts are baseline wandering, power line and eye blink noise. The frequencies of these artifacts overlap with the frequencies of the EEG sub bands and create a major challenge for analysis. In the present paper, a computationally simple, robust to noise and accurate EEG segmentation algorithm is developed for all dominant noise elimination from the EEG signal. The proposed method uses moving average and Discrete Wavelet Transform filtering techniques. The novelty of the present work lies in the use of moving average and DWT filter which eliminates the major noises without affecting the properties of the signal and subsequent sub band segmentation without additional signal processing. The choice of db4 as mother wavelet reduces the computational time and complexity. The method has been tested on real time signals acquired from thirty individuals of varying age group. Comparative plot of acquired and clean electroencephalogram justifies the applicability and potentiality of the method for various applications including brain computer interface. Relative Root Mean Square Error (RRMSE) between the acquired and filtered signal is only 0.14 ± 0.03 which reveals that the filtering stage did not had any loss to the vital signature properties. The earlier reported literatures have the best possible value of RRMSE to be 0.42 ± 0.00 which is quite a distant apart from the present result. The proposed algorithm can be a suitable option for major artifact elimination and EEG segmentation in low-cost single-channel EEG systems because of its (a) computationally efficiency; (b) filtering contaminated EEG signals in millisecond time resolution; (b) automatic, requiring no human intervention; (c) non-invasive, preserving unaltered EEG intervals without contamination; and (d) low-complexity, requiring no artifact reference.

Final year students often face significant academic and emotional challenges, especially when completing their theses, which can impact their academic performance. The aim of this research is to find out how coping with stress affects the academic achievement index of final year students. The sample of the study was 175 final year students who are doing their thesis of Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten. Data was collected through the Coping Stress questionnaire, the questionnaire revealed two aspects, namely problem-focused coping or coping focused on problems and emotion-focused coping or coping focused on emotions. The data analysis technique used in this research is linear regression. The results of the research show that stress coping for final year students has a significant effect on academic achievement. Besides that, there is a strong relationship between final year students' stress coping and academic achievement. Apart from that, coping stress in final year students has an effect on academic achievement by 36,1%. This study's findings highlight the importance of paying close attention to students' living situations, particularly those who reside with their parents. The emotional health and academic success of students can be improved when schools and parents work together to provide a nurturing atmosphere for them. The research show that stress coping for final year students has a significant effect on academic achievement.
“Užkalbėjimas”, “žadėjimas”, “vardijimas”: Outlining the Emic Terminology
Authors: Vaitkevičienė Daiva 
Published: July 2024

The currently unanimously used Lithuanian folklore term for charm – užkalbėjimas – became established as late as the 1960s, having replaced other emic terms with similar meaning, namely, žadėjimas and vardijimas, and a number of their prefix variants. All these terms have similar semantic motivation, emphasizing the utterance of the words or text. However, the term žadėjimas stands out among them, since it means the kind of charming in the result of which the words uttered by the charmer have the power of coming true.
The old age of the terms in question is attested by the aged dictionaries from the Eastern Prussia and the Lithuanian written sources. On the Lithuanian territory, these terms have been recorded somewhat later, but they have been preserved in the living oral tradition for a long time. Their regional distribution is uneven. The word užkalbėjimas is mostly used in eastern and southern Lithuania, being less frequent in southwestern Lithuania (Užnemunė) and almost unknown in Samogitia. Its other prefix forms (atkalbėjimas, nukalbėjimas, apkalbėjimas) are used only in eastern Lithuania, forming local areas of distribution. The form with no prefix (kalbėjimas) is rather typical for southern Lithuania. The emic term žadėjimas (literally, “promising”) is most frequent along the eastern Lithuanian border, where it is still used nowadays. Until the middle of the 20th century, it was also popular in Užnemunė. However, the vernacular term vardijimas (literally, “naming”, or “counting out”), contrary to the previous ones, was spread across Samogitia and northern Lithuania. Today it is no longer used to denote charms.
