Published: June 2024

Orenburg Region is located in the South Urals, mostly in the steppe zone and is characterised by various landscapes suitable for many Chenopodiaceae. The species of Chenopodiaceae are present in all major plant communities (saline vegetation, steppes, on limestone, chalk and sand, and as degraded or ruderal communities). In the steppe zone, many native subshrubby species (Atriplex cana, Caroxylon laricinum, Suaeda physophora) playing a crucial role in semi-deserts (known as southern steppes in the recent Russian literature) located southwards of Orenburg Region are locally found, and several annuals (Salicornia perennans, Suaeda spp.) are most common dominants in plant communities. Some typical semi-desert species (Kalidium foliatum, Bassia hyssopifolia, Soda foliosa, Spirobassia hirsuta) are found in the easternmost part of the region.
We compiled a checklist of Chenopodiaceae in Orenburg Region, with two new records (Chenopodium virgatum, Corispermum laxiflorum), based on our critical revision, comprehensive inventory of herbarium specimens and documented observations and field research. In total, we report 76 species in the Region, which is the third-highest number of the Chenopodiaceae species compared with other administrative territories of European Russia, North Caucasus and West Siberia. Alien and native taxa are distinguished. Zonal patterns of species distributions are confirmed. A preliminary conservation status is proposed for each native species. Three species are recommended for exclusion from the Red Data Book of Orenburg Region: Petrosimonia triandra (because of its extensive distribution), Kalidium foliatum and Anabasis salsa (because of the lack of actual threat to their populations). Arthrophytum lehmannianum and Salsola rosacea are considered threatened (Vulnerable) because of their restricted occurrence and population size and because their localities are under anthropogenic pressure. Atriplex hortensis, Atriplex rosea, Chenopodium acuminatum, C. karoi, C. praetericola, C. vulvaria, Climacoptera affinis, C. crassa, Halimocnemis karelinii, Salsola paulsenii and Xylosalsola arbuscula are excluded from the checklist, based on various reasons as discussed in the paper. Point distribution maps are provided for each species. Agriophyllum pungens (Vahl) Link is accepted as the correct authorship instead of "M.Bieb. ex C.A.Mey."
Préaut : des précurseurs ?

Ce court article témoigne de la démarche PRÉAUT : travail associant la clinique, toujours au premier plan, la recherche, pour valider les constats cliniques, et la transmission par des formations dans le domaine de l’autisme, et s’inscrivant dans une volonté de complémentarité. PRÉAUT est précurseur : ce qu’il a voulu défendre, c’est une pratique engagée n’excluant a priori aucun apport théorique, notamment pas ceux de la psychanalyse en des temps où elle n’est pas bienvenue, et n’évitant aucune discussion, même vigoureuse, sur les limites du modèle. Nous donnons les exemples du signe PRÉAUT et des ateliers-classe.
Guidance psychoéducative parentale dans l’autisme en Côte d’Ivoire : premiers résultats du projet « Répit »
Authors: Bissouma Anna-Corinne , Yapi Lawrence 
Published: June 2024

L’autisme est une gageure pour le monde scientifique qui par ses efforts répétés cherche à le définir pour mieux le servir. Pour les parents qui supportent cet état au travers de leur enfant porteur du handicap, l’autisme est une blessure autant douloureuse que monstrueuse. L’idée de faire se rencontrer le monde de la recherche et le réel des familles en Côte d’Ivoire tend à conjuguer les effets et les efforts pour une meilleure compréhension du phénomène autisme. La mise en place d’une guidance psychoéducative parentale aspire à faire un micro-bilan de l’état actuel des actions parentales à l’endroit de leur enfant atteint d’autisme et de leur proposer un accompagnement pluridimensionnel pour améliorer leur compréhension du handicap, le fonctionnement individuel et singulier de leur enfant autiste et réviser pour un confort conjoint (parents, fratrie et enfant) leurs pratiques éducatives. L’objectif majeur est un mieux vivre l’autisme dans son énigme de vérité, mieux vivre et faire vivre l’enfant autiste dans sa particularité développementale et sa personnalité et déployer dans les familles des compétences psychoéducatives optimales pour la satisfaction de tous. Les auteurs proposent ici une réflexion sur cette thématique à partir de la mise en œuvre d’un dispositif d’accompagnement des familles à Abidjan et Yamoussoukro appelé projet « Répit ».

The competence of digital entrepreneurship in education: Analysis of the perception of university students
Authors: Sánchez Vera María del Mar , López Vicent Patricia 
Published: June 2024

Purpose: From an educational perspective, digital entrepreneurship comprises the convergence of the dimensions of entrepreneurship competence and digital competence. The EmDigital project has generated a model of digital entrepreneurship based on the proposals of Entrecomp and Digcom models that, from a transversal approach, addresses digital entrepreneurship from the perspective of challenges and the development of new opportunities that technology can offer.Design/methodology/approach: The project conducted a study using a non-experimental and exploratory design with the objective of analyzing the digital entrepreneurship competence of 135 final-year students from the Polytechnic University of Cartagena. A questionnaire validated by experts and exploratory factor analysis was used to assess the four dimensions of digital entrepreneurship competence: identification of opportunities, action planning, implementation and collaboration, and management and security.Findings:The results show that the students feel they are more competent in the dimension of management and security, while they perceive that the dimension related to the identification of opportunities in the framework of digital entrepreneurship is less developed. It is concluded that it is necessary to establish a series of common and interdisciplinary indicators around digital entrepreneurship that can be reinforced in all degrees, so students could develop good strategies related to digital entrepreneurship regardless of the degree they come from.Originality/value: The added value of this study lies in its comprehensive approach, the solid theoretical foundation on which it is based, its exploratory approach, the integration of key dimensions, the identification of specific areas of improvement and the practical recommendations to address these deficiencies in higher education. -------This research has been carried out within the framework of the project “EmDigital. kills for digital entrepreneurship of university students” (https://www.um.es/emdigital/), which is funded by the SénecavFoundation (Agency Science and Technology Agency of the Region of Murcia, Spain).

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
The pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 was a novel situation, there was no conclusive knowledge, particularly concerning its effect on pregnant women and infants. Eminent obstetric organizations have introduced an array of guidelines to assist clinicians in countering this prior unknown outbreak. The primary objective of this study was to summarize the clinical characteristics, complications, and maternal and neonatal outcomes of COVID-19 during pregnancy and puerperium.

Methods:
This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted in the Outpatient/Emergency/Inpatient or COVID ward in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, of a tertiary hospital in Nadia district, West Bengal, India, from 1.7.2020 to 30.6.2021 including 104 pregnant or puerperal mothers with laboratory-confirmed, i.e., RT-PCR or Rapid Antigen Test positive reports after informed consent. The obstetric outcome, modes of delivery, and neonatal status including any complications or SNCU admission within six weeks postpartum were recorded.

Results:
The majority were in the ≥ 20–24 years age group, primigravida, residents of Nadia with no significant travel or contact history. 73.08% were affected in the third trimester and the comorbidities detected were chiefly anemia (15.38%), hypertensive or chronic liver diseases, and hypothyroidism. 45.19% of the mothers were asymptomatic while the other complaints were fever (18.27%), cough (11.55%), anosmia and/or ageusia (10.58%), sore throat (9.61%), respiratory distress, loose stools, and chest pain. The medical complications were predominantly low SpO2, convulsions, pneumonitis, and two maternal deaths. The obstetric complications were preterm birth (26.9%), pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (17.3%), antepartum (3.9%) and postpartum hemorrhage (4.4%), and sepsis (5.8%). Fourteen mothers had first-trimester termination, 63 had vaginal deliveries, and the rest had cesarean section. Out of 90 neonates, most were in the range of ≥ 2–2.5 kg birth weight and normal 1-min APGAR score. None tested positive for COVID-19 RTPCR and no detectable congenital anomaly or neonatal death was recorded.

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To determine the effectiveness of the telemedicine-based pulmonary rehabilitation programme in COVID-19 pneumonitis.

Design:
Prospective intervention study.

Setting:
Rehabilitation outpatient department, Tertiary-Care institute.

Participants:
Consecutive sample of patients (N = 50) in recovered COVID-19 infection.

Intervention:
Six weeks of telemedicine-based pulmonary rehabilitation in recovered patients of COVID-19 infection.

Outcome Measures:
All patients were clinically assessed by six minutes walk test (6MWT), Modified Medical Research Council Scale (mMRC), 30s-STS and SF 36 at zero week and six weeks post-intervention.

Statistical Analysis:
Difference in means of pre- and post-intervention was compared using paired t-test. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
The 6MWT, mMRC Scale, 30 seconds sit-to-stand test, and WHO QoL scale-SF 36 were assessed and post-rehabilitation sessions, all the patients’ showed improvement in the prescribed parameters. After six weeks of respiratory rehabilitation, the distance covered in the 6MWT was significantly longer than that of before the intervention. There was a significant difference between zero and six weeks during the PR intervention. mMRC and 30s-STS results showed a significant difference between zero and six weeks (2.36 ± 0.598, 4.54 ± 1.94. Quality of life improved significantly after six weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation in eight domains of the SF-36.

Conclusion:
Six-week pulmonary rehabilitation programme delivered through telemedicine platform improves respiratory function, QoL and anxiety in patients with post-COVID-19 pneumonia during a recovery phase.

Authors: Zendehdel Mozhgan , Jahanfar Shayesteh , Hamzehgardeshi Zainab 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
There are few reliable Iranian-induced abortion data. The aim of this paper was to investigate the prevalence and socioeconomic characteristics of women and men who report having had or been a partner in an abortion.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional survey of women and men aged 15–49 years referred to the health center that randomly selected from 110 health center that was used.

Results:
Data from 1520 women and men surveys were analyzed. One in 10 women and one in 12 men had experienced or been a partner in an abortion. In adjusted analyses, women and men in the 34–49 age group [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 0.62, 95% (CI) 0.41, 0.96], the importance of religion in fertility (AOR = 0.42; 95% CI 0.26, 0.67), dissatisfied general health (AOR = 0.52; 95% CI 0.32, 0.87), and history of unwanted pregnancy for twice (AOR = 2.32; 95% CI 1.43, 3.77) and history of unwanted pregnancy for three-time or more (AOR = 2.69; 95% CI 1.59, 5.49) were associated with significantly increased odds of abortion. Haven’t heard of medication abortion, that is, abortion with tablets (AOR = 0.43; 95% CI 0.29, 0.67) was associated with significantly reduced odds of abortion.

Conclusions:
The findings contribute to scarce information about abortion in Iranian. Due to the high prevalence of abortion and the country’s population growth policy, Iranian women need a full range of sexual and reproductive health services, including contraceptive counseling and accessible abortion care.
A study on awareness and perception about perinatal death auditing among health care workers in two districts of Karnataka State, India
Authors: Harsha Kumar HN , Baliga Shantaram B. , Kushtagi Pralhad , Kamath Nutan , Rao Suchetha S. 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
To start perinatal death auditing, doctors should have good knowledge about it.

Objectives:
To know the awareness and perceptions of doctors about different aspects of perinatal death auditing like 1) different types of contributors; 2) high-risk approach; 3) consequences; 4) documentary requirements; and 5) existing system of mortality meeting/child death reviews.

Methodology:
The perinatal death auditing project was implemented in two districts of Karnataka state. As a part of the pre-intervention survey, awareness and perceptions of doctors and a few health care administrators were explored. They were requested to participate in the study. Those who consented were approached in their hospitals and interviewed. Trained medical social workers conducted the interviews. Awareness was scored from 0 to 3 with 0 being no knowledge and 3 being good knowledge. Perceptions were scored from 0 to 3 with 0 being no negative perceptions and 3 being fear of legal consequences. The responses were documented, scored, and described.

Results:
Though 22 doctors were eligible, only 16 consented to participate in the study. Knowledge of doctors about different contributors was inadequate. They were apprehensive about legal consequences. They knew that documentation could protect them and be useful in a court of law. They were not clear about the conduct of mortality meeting/existing system of child death reviews.

Conclusion:
Knowledge was inadequate. They were apprehensive about legal consequences. Training of doctors and allaying apprehensions are required for starting perinatal death auditing.

ABSTRACT

Anaemia is a well-known global health concern in the South Asian countries, and it is estimated that India has the utmost prevalence of anaemia and maternal deaths due to iron deficiency anaemia. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in antenatal women with anaemia in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Methods:
A single-arm prospective cohort (before–after) study among 60 antenatal women with moderate to severe anaemia in the second and third trimesters was conducted from December 2020 to December 2022, and the eligible women were given 1000 mg of intravenous FCM injection. Efficacy was assessed by rate of improvement in haemoglobin and ferritin at 2 weeks post infusion. Safety analysis was done by assessing adverse drug reactions and foetal heart monitoring during the infusion.

Results:
A total 60 antenatal women with a median gestational age of 32.5 weeks at presentation received 1000 mg of intravenous FCM. There was a rise in mean haemoglobin from 8.05 gm% pre-infusion to 10.93 gm% 2 weeks post infusion, showing a mean rise of 2.88 gm%. Similar improvement was noted in mean serum ferritin levels from 25.92 pre-infusion to 253.96 post FCM infusion. There were no reports of drug-related major adverse effects in the mother or the foetus.

Conclusions:
FCM is found to be safe and effective treatment with rapid replenishment of haemoglobin and ferritin levels in a single dose, which makes it suitable and compels consideration as the first choice for treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia.

Authors: Choudhary Deepti , Saxena Namrata , Gupta Vineeta 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Globally, the rising caesarean section (CS) rate is of great concern as it is associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality in subsequent pregnancies. It is essential to reanalyze the CS trend and curb the rising menace using a standardized uniform auditing system. This study aimed to analyze and evaluate the trend of CS using Modified Robson’s Ten Group classification system (RTGCS) in a teaching institution in Uttarakhand.

Methodology:
This cross-sectional study from October 2022 to March 2023 included 260 women undergoing elective or emergency CS. Data on maternal demographics, obstetrics, labour, and fetal outcomes were recorded. Indications for CS were analyzed using modified RTGCS.

Results:
The overall CS rate for the study period at our hospital was 31.4%. The major contributors to CS were Group 2 (21.5%), Group 10 (21.5%), and Group 5 (20.7%), while Group 6 and Group 8 contributed 10% and 7.6%, respectively. Group 9 had the least share (1%) in the study population. The two main indications for which CS was performed were prior Lower Section Caesarean Section (LSCS) and fetal distress, contributing to 24.6% and 19.2%, respectively. CS for breech presentation was done in 16% of the total cases.

Conclusion:
Modified RTGCS is an easy and effective method for auditing CS, preventing unnecessary procedures, and improving maternal care. Its implementation is crucial in addressing the increasing prevalence of CS and ensuring better maternal and fetal outcomes.
Effect of psychoeducation in late life depression: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Singh Archana , Srivastava Shrikant , Singh Bhupendra 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and after the global pandemic COVID-19, it has become even more worse. The treatment of depression should involve pharmacological treatment along with the various kinds of psychotherapies (non-pharmacological management). This study aims to determine the result of psychoeducation in late-life depression by using Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17 items (HAMD) and Geriatric Depression Scale (Hindi version) (GDS-H).

Material and Methods:
The study was registered on the Control Trial Registry of India (CTRI) via CTRI/2019/05/018956. It is a prospective randomized controlled trial of 4 weeks, where 154 patients aged more than 60 years were randomized into two groups, case group (A) (n = 83) who received psychoeducation along with treatment as usual, whereas control group (B) (n = 71) who received placebo along with treatment as usual. The patients were assessed using Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17 items (HAMD), Geriatric Depression Scale (Hindi version) (GDS-H) on baseline visit (Day 0), on first follow-up (Day 14), and second follow-up (Day 28). Hindi Mental Status Examination (HMSE) was used on the baseline visit to rule out primary cognitive impairment.

Results:
The results were analyzed, and it was concluded that both the groups have significant decrease in HAMD-17 and GDS-30 scores over a period of time with a P-value of <0.001 in both.
Effect of shift work on dietary habits and occupational stress among nurses in a tertiary care centre: An observational study
Authors: Shrivastava Ragini , Shrivastava Pranjal , Pathak Tanusha , Nagar Jagrati , Jiwane Rekha , Chouhan Sunil , Shrivastava Asha 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Shift work comprises work hours other than 9 am to 5 pm. Healthcare jobs such as nursing have been associated with shift work, which can affect their overall health status. Due to excessive workload and instability in working hours, nurses are also prone to higher occupational stress.

Materials and Methods:
A descriptive study, Cornell Medical Index (CMI) questionnaire, 24-h recall method, and occupational stress score (OSS) were used to assess overall health, calorie intake, and occupational stress among nurses working in a tertiary care centre in Central India.

Results:
The mean age of participants in the control and study groups was 43.2 ± 6.059 years and 43.93 ± 5.20 years, respectively. Neither of the group’s participants had poor nutritional status. CMI health scores revealed poor mental health among the study group. Severe occupational stress was observed in 57% of participants, and 33% had moderate occupational stress. Among the causes of occupational stress, 92% cited unfavourable work conditions, and 88% pointed out the workload. Poor peer relations and low status were cited by 77% and 57% of participants.

Conclusion:
This study highlights the harmful effects of shift work on health of nurses. These negative effects are usually linked to poor diet and stress, which can be induced by overwork, poor sleep, or both. This study found that high workload is the main cause of occupational stress. Sleep disruption, lack of exercise and excess work load are major contributors for occupational stress and unhealthy eating habits. More awareness regarding importance of good diet and stress management may aid in improving health of nurses working in shifts.
