Authors: Hennicks Eugeny C. , Heyns Marita M. , Rothmann Sebastiaan 
Published: June 2024

IntroductionThis study aimed to determine latent social wellbeing profiles and investigate differences between the profiles in terms of trust in managers and colleagues, job satisfaction, intention to leave, and demographic variables (age and service years).MethodsPermanently employed individuals of a South African utility organization participated in the study (N = 403). The Social Well-being Scale, Workplace Trust Survey, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Turnover Intention Scale were administered.ResultsFour social wellbeing profiles were identified: socially disconnected (19.11%), socially challenged (31.27%), socially adequate (22.30%), and socially thriving (27.33%). Individuals in the socially thriving profile were significantly more inclined to experience job satisfaction and had lower intentions to leave than individuals in the other social wellbeing profiles. Two demographic variables, namely, age and service years, were associated with profile membership.DiscussionThis study provided a nuanced understanding of social wellbeing by identifying patterns in which social contribution, social integration, social actualization, social coherence, and social acceptance interacted within individuals in a population, which might otherwise not have been evident. The differing levels of social wellbeing among these profiles have substantial implications for job satisfaction and staff retention.

Published: June 2024

IntroductionThis research devises a training program for developing emotional intelligence focused on social and emotional learning and integrates it into teaching to improve pre-service teachers’ emotional intelligence.MethodsThe study used a embedded mixed design. The quantitative dimension of the study used a controlled quasi-experimental design with pre-test/post-test, and the qualitative dimension used an evaluative case study design. The study was conducted with 73 prospective primary school teachers studying at the faculty of education of a Turkish state university. The study group was formed using purposive random sampling. The sample for the quantitative dimension was composed using probability random sampling, whereas the sample for the qualitative dimension was composed using purposive sampling. The program was administered to the experimental group for 10 weeks. Quantitative data were obtained using the Bar-On EQ-i, and qualitative data were obtained using a semi-structured interview questionnaire and participant diaries. Quantitative data were analyzed using normality analysis and one-factor analysis of covariance, whereas qualitative data were analyzed using descriptive and content analysis.ResultsThe results found the developed training program to be an effective approach to improve emotional intelligence among pre-service teachers. Moreover, data obtained from documentary sources and focus group interviews during and after the application of the program confirmed and adequately explained the quantitative results.DiscussionIn line with the purpose of the study, the findings obtained from the quantitative part of the study showed that the implementation of the training program for the development of emotional intelligence focused on SEL was an effective approach in increasing the emotional intelligence levels of the pre-service teachers in the experimental group. Similar research results also support that pre-service teachers’ emotional intelligence can be improved with additional intervention practices without affecting their curriculum.

ObjectiveThis meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on test anxiety across diverse age groups and intervention modalities.MethodsRigorous inclusion criteria were applied to select studies focusing on MBIs as the independent variable, with test anxiety as the outcome. A comprehensive search across multiple databases yielded 18 primary studies, contributing 20 comparisons. Data were extracted on study characteristics, sample sizes, and intervention details, and were analyzed using a random-effects model.ResultsThe analyses incorporated 1,275 participants, with MBIs demonstrating a moderate to large negative effect on test anxiety (effect size = −0.716; 95% CI: −1.383 to −0.049). Moderation analysis indicated that mean age, number of sessions, and intervention delivery mode did not significantly influence effect sizes. Publication bias assessment suggested the presence of bias via Egger’s regression (p = 0.025), though Begg and Mazumdar’s test and Duval and Tweedie’s trim and fill method indicated no missing studies.ConclusionMBIs are effective in reducing test anxiety, though results should be interpreted with caution due to potential publication bias and unexplained heterogeneity. The impact of MBIs did not vary significantly with participant age, number of sessions, or delivery mode.

Published: June 2024

BackgroundSensory symptoms linked to tic disorder (TD) are challenging to quantify via self- or parent-reported measures. The current study aimed to develop a novel observer-rated semi-structured interview, namely, the Sensory Phenomenon Assessment Scale (SPAS), to aid clinical evaluation on symptoms of TD among children.MethodsTo test its psychometric properties, tic, premonitory urge (PU), and obsessive–compulsive symptoms (OCS) were also assessed in 223 children via the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), the Premonitory Urge for Tic Scale (PUTS), and the Children’s Yale–Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS). Factor analysis and internal consistency test were carried out using data from TD-diagnosed individuals.ResultsGood internal consistency and test–retest reliability were observed. Criterion validity was established by significant correlations between the PUTS, the YGTSS, the CY-BOCS, and scores of the SPAS. Factor analyses supported a single-factor model of the SPAS, in which the five items each showed a factor loading above 0.6.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that the SPAS is reliable and valid and, thus, can serve as a good and concise measure of clinical symptoms among children and adolescents with TD.

Published: June 2024

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major outbreak in the 21st century and has led to significant mental health hazards worldwide. To address this issue, a systematic review has been conducted to analyze existing literature on the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological well-being of the general population, as well as the associated risk factors.MethodsA comprehensive search was carried out on PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, covering all available literature up until February 20, 2024. This search was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, ensuring a systematic approach. The selection of articles was based on predetermined eligibility criteria, ensuring the inclusion of appropriate and suitable research. In the final analysis, a total of 15 articles focusing on depression and anxiety, 11 articles on stress, and 7 articles on psychological problems were included. These articles specifically examined the outcome variables within the context of English language and specific areas. For the meta-analysis on maternal health services, 11 articles were included for family planning, 25 articles for postnatal care services, 16 articles for institutional delivery, and 14 articles for safe abortion services. These articles were carefully selected for the final pooled analysis.ResultAccording to a recent systematic review, anxiety, depression, stress, and psychological distress have been prevalent in Ethiopia during the COVID-19 pandemic, with rates of 40, 41, 23, and 41%, respectively. The review also identified various sociodemographic factors that have impacted the country’s response to the pandemic, including female gender, age, marital status, incarceration, low income, and lack of social support. Furthermore, the review found that maternal health services have experienced significant reductions during the pandemic.ConclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in psychological distress, which in some cases, is severe enough to require clinical treatment. It is crucial to prioritize efforts to address the negative impact of COVID-19 on mental health as a global public health priority. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to maternal health services during COVID-19 mitigation programs.

Published: June 2024

PurposeTo determine the risk factors for recompression after percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) and compare the outcomes of PTED and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) as revision surgery.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated 820 consecutive DLSS patients who underwent PTED at our institution. 26 patients developed postoperative recompression and underwent reoperation. In total, 208 patients with satisfactory clinical outcomes were enrolled in the control group. The demographic and imaging data of each patient were recorded. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess risk factors for recompression. Additionally, patients with recompression were divided into PTED and PLIF groups according to the reoperation procedure. The clinical outcomes of the two groups were compared using independent-sample t-tests.ResultsThe grade of surgical-level disc degeneration [odds ratio (OR): 2.551, p = 0.045] and the number of disc degeneration levels (OR: 11.985, p &lt; 0.001) were independent risk factors for recompression after PTED. There was no significant difference in the visual analog score (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) two weeks postoperatively between the PTED and PLIF groups for surgical treatment. However, the mean VAS of back pain (14.1 vs. 20.5, p = 0.016) and ODI (16.0 vs. 21.8, p = 0.016) of patients in the PLIF group were smaller than those in the PTED group at the final follow-up.ConclusionMore severe degeneration and degenerated levels indicate a higher recompression rate after PTED. Although both PTED and PLIF could achieve immediate relief postoperatively in the treatment of recompression, the final follow-up results showed that the outcome of PLIF appeared better than that of PTED.

Authors: Hussein Hawkar Abdalla , Saeed Hawzhen Masoud M. 
Published: June 2024

The aim of this study is to assess the effect of shade and light-curing intensity on the heat generation and degree of conversion of bulk-fill composite. A commercially available bulk-fill composite resin was used in this study. A total of 250 cylindrical specimens of each composite shade (n = 25/group) were prepared (125 for testing heat generation and 125 for testing degree of conversion, then cured using a monowave light-curing unit (LCU) with a single light intensity of 1470 mW/cm2 and a polywave LCU with three different light intensities (1200, 2000, and 3000 mW/cm2). Heat generation during polymerization was measured by five K-type thermocouples placed in each 1 mm layer from top to bottom. FTIR was used for evaluating the degree of conversion. Regarding heat generation, significant differences were seen in layers 4 and 5. Curing types and times also showed significant impacts on heat generation and the degree of conversion. Heat generation relates more to curing time than light intensity. Darker shades generate and retain more heat. Lighter shades exhibit higher degrees of conversion with longer curing.

Published: June 2024

A Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker space–time model with all curvatures k=0, ±1 is explored in f(R,T) gravity, where R is the Ricci scalar, and T is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. The solutions are obtained via the parametrization of the scale factor that leads to a model transiting from a decelerated universe to an accelerating one. The physical features of the model are discussed and analyzed in detail. The study shows that f(R,T) gravity can be a good alternative to the hypothetical candidates of dark energy to describe the present accelerating expansion of the universe.

Published: June 2024

Relevance. The successful completion of the rehabilitation process for patients with complex congenital defects, specifically those with a combination of orofacial clefts (OFC) and malformations in other organs and systems, presents a significant challenge. This challenge is pertinent not only to medical practice but also to the socio-psychological development of the child.Objective. To identify predictive factors that diminish the success of the rehabilitation process in patients with congenital OFC combined with malformations in other organs and systems by systematising and addressing these factors at various stages of specialised care.Materials and methods. An analysis of medical records was conducted for 2,475 patients with congenital orofacial clefts (OFC) over a 24-year period (1998-2022) who were under dispensary observation at the "Bonum" Center in Yekaterinburg. Among these patients, 823 (33.25%) had OFC combined with malformations in other organs and systems. A comprehensive study was conducted among these 823 individuals within the framework of dynamic observation and treatment, focusing on patients who had reached 18 years of age and were subsequently removed from dispensary observation. The study included an examination of staged treatment and discharge summaries, alongside the clinical characteristics of the restored midface area following surgical correction of OFC amidst correction for concomitant congenital malformations.Results. Among the 823 individuals surveyed, a retrospective study registered 591 (71.81%) who had completed the main stages of comprehensive specialised care amidst concomitant malformations, while the remaining 232 (28.19%) continue to receive combined rehabilitation. Within the 591 patients, a subgroup of 123 (20.81%) individuals who had reached 18 years of age, completed the full cycle of medical-social rehabilitation at the "Bonum" Center, and were removed from dispensary observation due to age, was selected and studied in detail. Questionnaires, parent interviews, and analysis of the results obtained were conducted. The study identified predictive factors reducing the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process in patients with congenital orofacial clefts (OFC) combined with malformations in other organs and systems.Conclusion. The multifaceted study conducted has facilitated the identification and systematisation of predictive factors that reduce the success of the rehabilitation process. Consequently, this enables the enhancement of comprehensive specialised treatment outcomes for this category of patients.

Relevance. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology, along with the resultant facial asymmetry, is a common condition within maxillofacial disorders. Addressing the rehabilitation of these patients within specialised medico-social care is a crucial and challenging task.Purpose. To develop a comprehensive rehabilitation protocol for patients with severe asymmetric jaw deformities caused by TMJ pathology.Materials and methods. From 2018 to 2023, ten patients with defects and deformities of the TMJ condylar process, presenting with severe asymmetric jaw deformities, were treated. An assessment of subjective and objective facial aesthetic parameters was conducted based on photographic protocols, as well as 2D and 3D cephalometric facial measurements. Comprehensive preparation for orthognathic surgery with simultaneous endoprosthesis replacement was performed based on the collected data. A regimen of postoperative therapeutic procedures was prescribed following the surgery.Results. All patients achieved the intended statistically significant outcomes: in the sagittal plane, an improvement in facial profile was noted based on the position of the chin (Pog) relative to the true vertical line passing through the subnasale point. In the frontal plane, alignment of the occlusal plane and normalization of the central line of the upper and lower incisors relative to the midline of the face were observed.Conclusion. The algorithm for the comprehensive preparation of patients with asymmetric jaw deformities, developed during growth, prior to performing orthognathic surgery with simultaneous TMJ endoprosthesis replacement should include: orthodontic treatment aimed at aligning teeth position and dental arches, eliminating rotations and pathological inclinations of teeth using a bracket system, fully restoring interocclusal height with temporary implant-supported structures, using occlusal splints and temporary composite restorations, as well as employing separating orthodontic plates. These stages enabled the achievement of good aesthetic results and improved patients' quality of life.

Published: June 2024

Pemindahan Ibu Kota Negara (IKN) pada Provinsi Kalimantan Timur berpotensi meningkatkan intensitas pembangunan di Kota Samarinda sebagai kota penyangga IKN sekaligus kota dengan populasi terbanyak. Urbanisasi yang tinggi menyebabkan pertumbuhan penduduk dan permintaan lahan yang meningkat yang berdampak pada perubahan fungsi lahan. Meskipun demikian, Kota Samarinda saat ini belum memenuhi standar minimal 30 % luas ruang terbuka hijau. Hal ini selaras terhadap peningkatan suhu yang terjadi dengan risiko bencana cuaca ekstrim yang tinggi. Suhu yang tinggi dapat mempengaruhi Temperature Humadity Index (THI), terutama saat THI melebihi 26°C yang menjadi batas kenyamanan. Maka dari itu diperlukan analisis untuk mengidentifikasi THI dan tutupan lahan menggunakan teknik analisis interpretasi citra dan analisis statistik regresi linear berganda. THI selama 10 tahun terakhir (2014 - 2023), nilai terendah pada tahun 2014 dan tertinggi pada tahun 2020. Uji t menunjukkan bahwa variabel lahan terbangun dengan nilai 0,00 dan vegetasi dengan nilai 0,03 berpengaruh terhadap THI.

Establishing delivery route-dependent safety and efficacy of living biodrug mesenchymal stem cells in heart failure patients
Authors: Jihwaprani Muhammad Candragupta , Sula Idris , Charbat Mohamed Ahmed , Haider Khawaja Husnain 
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as living biopharmaceuticals with unique properties, i.e. , stemness, viability, phenotypes, paracrine activity, etc. , need to be administered such that they reach the target site, maintaining these properties unchanged and are retained at the injury site to participate in the repair process. Route of delivery (RoD) remains one of the critical determinants of safety and efficacy. This study elucidates the safety and effectiveness of different RoDs of MSC treatment in heart failure (HF) based on phase II randomized clinical trials (RCTs). We hypothesize that the RoD modulates the safety and efficacy of MSC-based therapy and determines the outcome of the intervention.
AIM
To investigate the effect of RoD of MSCs on safety and efficacy in HF patients.
METHODS
RCTs were retrieved from six databases. Safety endpoints included mortality and serious adverse events (SAEs), while efficacy outcomes encompassed changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), and pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (pro-BNP). Subgroup analyses on RoD were performed for all study endpoints.
RESULTS
Twelve RCTs were included. Overall, MSC therapy demonstrated a significant decrease in mortality [relative risk (RR): 0.55, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.33-0.92, P = 0.02] compared to control, while SAE outcomes showed no significant difference (RR: 0.84, 95%CI: 0.66-1.05, P = 0.11). RoD subgroup analysis revealed a significant difference in SAE among the transendocardial (TESI) injection subgroup (RR = 0.71, 95%CI: 0.54-0.95, P = 0.04). The pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) demonstrated an overall significant improvement of LVEF by 2.44% (WMD: 2.44%, 95%CI: 0.80-4.29, P value ≤ 0.001), with only intracoronary (IC) subgroup showing significant improvement (WMD: 7.26%, 95%CI: 5.61-8.92, P ≤ 0.001). Furthermore, the IC delivery route significantly improved 6MWD by 115 m (WMD = 114.99 m, 95%CI: 91.48-138.50), respectively. In biochemical efficacy outcomes, only the IC subgroup showed a significant reduction in pro-BNP by -860.64 pg/mL (WMD: -860.64 pg/Ml, 95%CI: -944.02 to -777.26, P = 0.001).
CONCLUSION
Our study concluded that all delivery methods of MSC-based therapy are safe. Despite the overall benefits in efficacy, the TESI and IC routes provided better outcomes than other methods. Larger-scale trials are warranted before implementing MSC-based therapy in routine clinical practice.
