Effects of dynamic versus static parameter-guided fluid resuscitation in patients with sepsis: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Sricharoenchai Thiti , Saisirivechakun Pannarat 
Published: July 2024

Background Fluid resuscitation is an essential component for sepsis treatment. Although several studies demonstrated that dynamic variables were more accurate than static variables for prediction of fluid responsiveness, fluid resuscitation guidance by dynamic variables is not standard for treatment. The objectives were to determine the effects of dynamic inferior vena cava (IVC)-guided versus (vs.) static central venous pressure (CVP)-guided fluid resuscitation in septic patients on mortality; and others, i.e., resuscitation targets, shock duration, fluid and vasopressor amount, invasive respiratory support, length of stay and adverse events. Methods A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted at Thammasat University Hospital between August 2016 and April 2020. Septic patients were stratified by acute physiologic and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) <25 or ≥25 and randomized by blocks of 2 and 4 to fluid resuscitation guidance by dynamic IVC or static CVP. Results Of 124 patients enrolled, 62 were randomized to each group, and one of each was excluded from mortality analysis. Baseline characteristics were comparable. The 30-day mortality rates between dynamic IVC vs. static CVP groups were not different (34.4% vs. 45.9%, p=0.196). Relative risk for 30-day mortality of dynamic IVC group was 0.8 (95%CI=0.5-1.2, p=0.201). Different outcomes were median (interquartile range) of shock duration (0.8 (0.4-1.6) vs. 1.5 (1.1-3.1) days, p=0.001) and norepinephrine (NE) dose (6.8 (3.9–17.8) vs. 16.1 (7.6–53.6) milligrams, p=0.008 and 0.1 (0.1-0.3) vs. 0.3 (0.1-0.8) milligram⋅kilogram−1, p=0.017). Others were not different. Conclusions Dynamic IVC-guided fluid resuscitation does not affect mortality of septic patients. However, this may reduce shock duration and NE dose, compared with static CVP guidance.

Published: July 2024

Introduction
Nowadays, heart failure is one of the most serious health problems. In Poland, about a million people struggle with it. This is due to several demographic and epidemiological trends, m.in. the improvement of the health care system and the aging of the population. Cardiovascular diseases are a huge challenge for the healthcare system, as they are considered the main cause of death in Poland. The basic assumption of the treatment of the disease includes the improvement of the quality of life
Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to assess acceptance of the disease in patients with heart failure receiving outpatient medical care.

Material and methods:
The research was carried out on a group of 100 patients from NZOZ "Vita". To carry out the research, the author's questionnaire and the Standardized Questionnaire: AIS and LOT-R were used, and appropriate consents were obtained for their use in the work.

Results In the study group, the level of disease acceptance according to the AIS in patients with heart failure treated on an outpatient basis was medium and high (48%; n=48 vs. 48%; n=48). Among the respondents, the largest group (46%; n=46) were people with an average level of optimism according to LOT-R. In people with heart failure, the most common comorbidities were diabetes, hypertension and bronchial asthma. Additional diseases did not have a statistically significant impact on the acceptance of the disease among the examined patients (p>0.05). The importance of religion as well as spiritual development in the respondents' lives did not influence their acceptance of the disease (p>0.05). Respondents with an optimistic attitude more often represented a higher level of acceptance of the disease according to the AIS than those with a pessimistic attitude (p=0.005).

Conclusions Acceptance of the disease is the final stage of adaptation to the disease, it manifests itself in the recognition of limitations and losses that result from the occurrence of a given disease entity. Therefore, accepting the disease brings many benefits that ultimately improve the course of the disease and further prognosis.

Aims/Background Prostate cancer stands out as one of the most prevalent malignant tumours among males. The non-invasive identification of clinically significant prostate cancer via magnetic resonance imaging plays a critical role in circumventing unnecessary biopsies and determining suitable treatment strategies for patients. Our study aimed to evaluate the potential improvement in predictive accuracy for clinically significant prostate cancer by incorporating perfusion data obtained from dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging acquisition protocols into multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging parameters. Methods Radiomics extracted from perfusion parameters (Ktrans, Kep, Ve) of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging were analysed in patients suspected of prostate cancer who underwent 3T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging between January 2017 and June 2023 in this retrospective study. The pathological findings obtained from biopsy or therapy were categorised into groups based on the Gleason sum score as either clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason sum score > 7) or non-clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason sum score ≤ 6). Diagnostic models were constructed using logistic regression analysis, incorporating prostate imaging reporting and data system V2.1 scores and clinical data, with or without radiomics extracted from dynamic contrast-enhanced. The area under curve (AUC) values were compared using the DeLong test. Results Overall, 214 men (clinically significant prostate cancer [n=78] and non-clinically significant prostate cancer [n=136]) were included. The clinical-prostate imaging reporting and data system model demonstrated an AUC of 0.89 (95% confidence interval: 0.84–0.95) in the training cohort and 0.91 (95% confidence interval: 0.84–0.98) in the test cohort. For the clinical-prostate imaging reporting and data system-radscore model, the AUC values were 0.97 (95% confidence interval: 0.95–0.99) for Ktrans, 0.98 (95% confidence interval: 0.96–1.00) for Ve, and 0.96 (95% confidence interval: 0.93–0.98) for Kep in the training cohort, and 0.97 (95% confidence interval: 0.94–1.00) for Ktrans, 0.95 (95% confidence interval: 0.91–1.00) for Ve, and 0.97 (95% confidence interval: 0.94–1.00) for Kep in the test cohort. Radiomics based on perfusion parameters exhibited good diagnostic performance in predicting clinically significant prostate cancer. The clinical-prostate imaging reporting and data system-radscore model demonstrated superior diagnostic capability compared to perfusion-based radiomics or clinical-prostate imaging reporting and data system models alone. Conclusion The application of radiomics, which involves extracting perfusion parameters from dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, has the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy for clinically significant prostate cancer.

Introduction
Evidence indicates that postpartum and post-abortion women accept family planning at a higher rate when offered timely at appropriate sites. Therefore, this study explored barriers and enablers of postpartum and post-abortion family planning utilization in primary health care units of Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia, from June 20 to July 25, 2022.

Methods
We used a case study strategy of qualitative research using both the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and Gender, Youth, and Social Inclusion (GYSI) frameworks was conducted from June to July 2022. We conducted 41 in-depth and key informant interviews and six focus group discussions. We also used Open Code software version 4.02 for coding and further analysis and applied a framework analysis.

Results
The analysis of this study identified barriers and enablers of postpartum and post-abortion family planning service uptake in five CFIR domains and four GYSI components. The barriers included misconceptions and sole decision-making by husbands, cultural and religious barriers, and healthcare providers paying less attention to adolescents and husbands, which prevented them from using immediate postpartum and postabortion family planning services. The health facilities were not adequately staffed; there was a shortage and delay of supplies and infrastructure, trained staff turnover, and poor accountability among service providers. The existence of community structure, equal access and legal rights to the service, and having waivered services were enablers for postpartum and post-abortion family planning service uptake.

Conclusion and recommendation
The current study identified various barriers and enablers to the uptake of postpartum and post-abortion family planning. Therefore, there is a need for high-impact interventions such as targeting male partners and girls, ensuring infrastructure, supplies, and equipment, building staff capacity, and making decisions jointly.

Authors: Peng Fan , Wang Dongxue , Zhang Yonghao , Xie Yongmin 
Published: July 2024

Objective
The purpose of this study was to explain the internal mechanism of attention focus affecting performance of countermovement jump based on muscle synergy theory.

Methods
Participants involved untrained group(N = 10) and high-level group(N = 11). Subjects performed countermovement jump with internal attention focus instruction (IF), external distal attention focus instruction (EDF), and external proximal attention focus instruction (EPF). The electromyography (EMG) signals of the dominant vastus lateralis muscle (VL), semitendinosus muscle (ST), tibial anterior muscle (TA), rectus femoris muscle (RF), and medial gastrocnemius (MG) were recorded. The non-negative matrix factorization was used to extract muscle synergy.

Results
1) Attention focus did not affect countermovement jump performance and the number of muscle synergy in the high-level group (P>0.05). 2) Attention focus instructions affected the untrained group countermovement jump (P<0.05). and EDF and EPF reduced the number of muscle synergy. 3)The Cohen’s d of EDF (0.269) was less than EPF (0.377) in untrained group.

Conclusion
For the untrained people, the improved motor performance caused by attention focus resembled the adaptive changes that occur with long-term training. The reason why an EDF is superior to EPF is that the former produces more thorough changes in muscle synergy.
Predicting intracerebral hemorrhage after endovascular therapy for anterior circulation strokes using CT-ASPECT, CTP-ASPECT and DWI-ASPECT: Protocol for a systematic review
Authors: Brissette Vincent , Bhatt Chirayu , Dewar Brian , Shorr Risa , Pardo Jordi , Fahed Robert , Shamy Michel , Dowlatshahi Dar 
Published: July 2024

Introduction
Over the last decade, there have been significant advances in treatments for anterior ischemic stroke, most notably endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Despite the success of EVT on overall outcomes, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is an important post-procedure complication, often associated with mortality and disability. Hence, predicting the risk of ICH can inform EVT decision making. The ASPECT score is used globally to predict patients’ prognosis post-reperfusion therapy. Our objective is to perform a systematic review to collect and synthesize data on the association between ASPECT scores on CT, CTP and DWI-MRI (CT-ASPECT, CTP-ASPECT, and DWI-ASPECT) and the risk of symptomatic ICH after EVT for anterior circulation strokes.

Methods and analysis
We will conduct a broad search of various electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) to identify studies published after January 1st, 2012 (commonly accepted as the beginning of the modern EVT era based on availability of stent-retrievers). Two independent reviewers will screen and include studies evaluating associations between symptomatic ICH after thrombectomy and baseline CT-ASPECT, CTP-ASPECT and DWI-ASPECT scores. Data will be extracted to quantify the risk of sICH after EVT based on the ASPECT scoring.

Rationing nursing care and organizational factors in intensive care units
Authors: Antoszewska Anna , Gutysz-Wojnicka Aleksandra 
Published: July 2024

Introduction
Rationing nursing care is a term that applies to various aspects of the required patient care that are omitted or their performance is delayed.

Aim
This study aimed to identify the extent of rationing of nursing care in intensive care units (ICUs) in different types of hospitals and determine the relationship between rationing of nursing care and hospital and staff characteristics.

Methods
This quantitative, cross-sectional, multicenter study was performed. The sample comprised 226 nurses working in ICUs in a North-East part of Poland. The Polish version of the PRINCA questionnaire methods was applied. The survey was conducted between 15 January and 31 May 2023.

Results
There were statistically significant differences between rationing of nursing care in university/provincial hospitals and district hospitals t = 6.92 p<0.001. In provincial and university hospitals, nursing care is often omitted, leading to a lower perceived quality of nursing care (t = -3.0 p = 0.003). This is further compounded by the fact that nursing care is more likely to be rationed in units with a larger number of beds. The level of rationing of nursing care was significantly correlated with the perceived work quality and job satisfaction in both types of hospitals. The most frequently omitted aspects of nursing care included providing emotional support (university/provincial 1.27 vs. district 0.89), patient and family education (1.11 vs. 0.74), communication with external entities (1.11 vs. 0.84), and observing safe patient-handling practices (1.01 vs. 0.99).

Conclusion
The type of hospital and organizational factors influence the rationing of nursing care. Improvements in working conditions can improve nursing care quality in ICUs.

Published: July 2024

Background
Reports showed that Amhara Region is accounting for 31% of Ethiopia`s malaria burden. Reports also depicted that despite the existing malaria vector control tools implemented by the regional government, currently there is an increment in malaria prevalence in the region. This might be due to lack of entomological monitoring and comprehensive information on the prevailing species composition, infection rate and feeding presences of An. mosquito species in the study areas. Therefore, this study aimed to address this information.

Methods
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 18 February to 30 March 2023 at three districts of the west Amhara Region. For this, six CDC light traps (three indoor and three outdoor) were used to collect adult female An. mosquito species. In this study, 261 An. mosquito species comprising seven species were collected. Their morphological identification and abdominal status determination were carried out using standard morphological identification keys under a dissection microscope. While their infection rates and blood meal sources were determined, using circumsporozoite protein-ELISA and blood meal-ELISA based on the standard protocol. Data were entered to SPSS versions 20 for analysis and p- value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results
In our study, total of 261 An. mosquito species were identified. An. demeilloni was the most abundant species accounted for 112(42.9%) of all captures. It was also the most predominant species at Ayehu-Guagusa followed by Jabitehnan districts. An. demeilloni and An. cinereus altogether accounting for infection rate of 3(1.1%) for P. vivax parasite. Furthermore, our study showed that more than 50% of An. mosquito species collected fed on cattle blood showing shifting of feeding behaviors.

Conclusions
Our study depicted that An. demeilloni and An. cinereus were the most abundant species and infected with P. vivax parasite. Therefore, further comprehensive study should be done in the future.
Incidence and influencing factors related to social isolation among HIV/AIDS patients: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Wu Qiao , Tan Jiarong , Chen Shu , Wang Jiayi , Liao Xiaogang , Jiang Lingling 
Published: July 2024

Background
People living with HIV (PLWH) are susceptible to social isolation as a result of stigma and discrimination, which not only diminishes adherence to antiretroviral therapy but also heightens the risks of hospital readmission, depression, and mortality. However, there is currently no systematic review addressing the occurrence and impact of social isolation in individuals with HIV. Therefore, this study undertook a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature to examine the prevalence and influencing factors associated with social isolation among PLWH.

Methods and analysis
PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar, China Science and Technology Journal Database, The China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data and Chinese Biomedicine Literature Database will be searched from the establishment of the database to the latest search date. Literature screening, data extraction and literature quality assessment will be done independently by two researchers and results will be cross-referenced. Data analysis will be performed using stata15.1 software. Risk of publication bias will be assessed using Begg’s and Egger’s methods. Heterogeneity between studies will then be assessed using the I2 index and its 95% CI and Q statistics. Sources of heterogeneity will be accounted for by subgroup and sensitivity analyses.

Results
The results may reveal the prevalence of social isolation among PLWH and provide data support for understanding its etiology and prevention.

Conclusion
By systematically reviewing the existing literature on social isolation among PLWH, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the prevalence of social isolation within this population, elucidate the detrimental effects it poses for people affected by HIV, and effectively inform targeted interventions for high-risk groups. Furthermore, these findings offer valuable insights to support evidence-based decision-making in public health policy.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The cobalt electrodeposition from a leaching containing cathode-powdery of spent laptop lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) of different commercial brands, collected from local laptop repair shops, was investigated. Citric acid (0.14 M) and hydrazine (0.1 M) were employed as complexing and reducing agents in the leaching during 24 h. Cobalt, manganese and nickel concentrations in the leachate, obtained by the flame method in an atomic absorption spectrometer, are reported. A rotating cylindrical electrode reactor which consists of a rotating open bottom as cathode and a static outer cylindrical as anode was employed. The numerical flow patterns and cathode velocities that induce the presence of Taylor vortices inside and/or outside the cathode were investigated. RANS equations with the standard k−ε turbulence model and enhanced wall treatment was used. Electrical power measurements were performed to validate simulations. Cyclic voltammetry experiments with synthetic solutions were applied to determine the reduction potential of cobalt (found in −1.2 V vs SCE). Subsequently, electrolysis experiments were carried out at predetermined cathode speeds (50, 75, and 125 rpm), imposing a working cathodic potential of −1.2 V versus SCE during 12 h. Experimental results indicate that the best cobalt recovery rates and current efficiency coincide with the presence of Taylor vortices both inside and outside the cathode, i.e., at 50 rpm. The peak performance in cobalt recovery and current efficiency was recorded at 49 % and 47.3 %, respectively. Finally, the deposits obtained from each electrolysis test were removed from the cathode and analyzed via energy dispersive spectroscopy. The range of purity of Co obtained in the electrodeposit film were between 56.75 % and 74.8 %.
Quantifying the quality of configurational causal models
Authors: Baumgartner Michael , Falk Christoph 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
There is a growing number of studies benchmarking the performance of configurational comparative methods (CCMs) of causal data analysis. A core benchmark criterion used in these studies is a dichotomous (i.e., non-quantitative) correctness criterion, which measures whether all causal claims entailed by a model are true of the data-generating causal structure or not. To date, Arel-Bundock [The double bind of Qualitative Comparative Analysis] is the only one who has proposed a measure quantifying correctness. That measure, however, as this study argues, is problematic because it tends to overcount errors in models. Moreover, we show that all available correctness measures are unsuited to assess relations of indirect causation. We therefore introduce a new correctness measure that adequately quantifies errors and does justice to indirect causation. We also offer a new completeness measure quantifying the informativeness of CCM models. Together, these new measures broaden and sharpen the resources for CCM benchmarking.
