Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND: Rotaviruses are the most important cause of severe diarrheal illness in infants and young children worldwide. Nigeria, with a prevalence of 56%, has one of the highest rates of rotavirus sickness in children under five years old, and rotavirus-related deaths were estimated to have caused 31,000 deaths in 2013. On August 22, 2022, aiming for universal immunization, the Nigerian government, through the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), in collaboration with partners and the World Health Organization (WHO), introduced the rotavirus vaccine into her Routine Immunization (RI) Schedule. This study aimed to assess parents’ acceptance of having their children vaccinated against rotavirus.

METHODS: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional questionnaire-based study among 217 childbearing mothers attending clinics at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital (COOUTH), Awka, Anambra State. Data analysis was performed with SPSS version 27.

RESULTS: One hundred and sixty-six (166/217,76.5%) of respondents had heard of rotavirus infection., while 86.5% (142/166) of them had knowledge that vaccines are the main preventive measure, and 69.3% (115/166) were aware of the recent rotavirus vaccine introduction into the National Programme on Immunization (NPI). Ninety-one percent (91%) (169/217) were ready to accept the rotavirus vaccine because it is safe and useful to the health of their children. Only 3.7% (7/217) of respondents had some safety concerns about the rotavirus vaccine. Fifty percent (50%; 108/217) respondents had given their children rotavirus vaccines (either from private facilities before introduction into NIP or following the introduction). Regarding associated factors, women who had tertiary education were three times more likely than those with lower educational levels to have knowledge of rotavirus (aOR=2.9; 95%CI=1.425-6.028; p=<0.001). Respondents emphasized the need for more information on vaccine effectiveness and safety, with the medical doctor having the highest confidence to provide information about immunization.

CONCLUSION: Although the present study showed high levels of knowledge and good attitudes towards rotavirus and rotavirus vaccination, there are still some vaccine effectiveness and safety concerns by mothers that need to be addressed through more public awareness and campaigns.

INOVASI PADA PERGURUAN TINGGI PROFESIONAL DAN FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHINYA
Authors: Utomo Wahyudi , Hadikusuma Riza , - Azwar 
Published: May 2024

Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kesiapan perguruan tinggi professional/vokasi khususnya Politeknik Negeri Jakarta dengan bentuk dan strategi dan kapasitas inovasi yang dijalankan. Inovasi itu sendiri adalah perpaduan ide-ide baru, perubahan-perubahan dan merupakan proses bagi organisasi menciptakan dan mendefiniskan masalah serta kegiatan mengembangkan pengetahuan baru terhadap permasalahan yang ada. Keterbatasan dari penelitian-penelitian empiris terdahulu adalah belum mengintegrasikan faktor kepemimpinan, struktur organisasi, dan orientasi pelayanan sebagai determinan yang mempengaruhi inovasi. Berdasarkan hal itu, penelitian ini berusaha untuk mendeskripsikan inovasi pada perguruan tinggi professional/vokasi melalui faktor kepemimpinan, struktur organisasi, dan orientasi pelayanan serta menganalisis model hubungan antara kepemimpinan, struktur dan orientasi pelayanan. Mengacu pada perspektif teoritis, sifat penelitian ini termasuk pada penelitian eksplanatif, yang bertumpu pada hypothetico-deductive method dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Metode try out terpakai digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan data yang diperoleh melalui satu kali pengambilan data (penarikan angket). Analisis data bersifat kuantitatif statisti. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh yang signifikan pada variabel kepemimpinan terhadap inovasi, namun tidak pada variabel struktur organisasi dan orientasi pelayanan. Kedua variabel tidak ditemukan adanya pengaruh yang signifikan pada inovasi. Sentralisasi kewenangan dalam hal pekerjaan dan pengambilan keputusan memperkuat pandangan bahwa organisasi dianggap sebagai tipe organisasi mekanistik. Mengacu pada temuan tersebut bahwa faktor-faktor yang diduga tidak memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap inovasi perlu dikaji ulang dan ditingkatkan perannya di masa depan sehingga organisasi didorong untuk mejadi organisasi yang organik melaui penyebaran kekuasaan dan kewenangan yang tersebar merata diantara anggota.

Published: May 2024

Background and AimThe emergence of direct-to-consumer hearing devices has introduced confusion in making appropriate choices, highlighting the need for users to be well-informed for optimal device selection. Currently, no established metric offers insights into the sound performance of these devices. This study aimed to introduce and assess a novel consumer-centric metric (i.e., SoundScore) for hearing device audio performance.MethodThe SoundScore metric was created based on five dimensions of hearing device audio performance (i.e., speech benefit in quiet and moderate, speech benefit in loud, own voice perception, feedback control, streamed music sound quality). Tests were conducted under lab conditions with an acoustic manikin using two fitting protocols meant to approximate (1) real-world default device settings for a mild-to-moderate sloping hearing loss (“Initial Fit”) and (2) an audiological best-practices approach (“Tuned Fit”). A total of 41 hearing devices comprising 10 prescription hearing aids (Rx-HA), 10 self-fitting over-the-counter hearing aids (OTC-SF), 8 pre-set based over-the-counter hearing aids (OTC-PS), and 13 personal sound amplification systems (PSAPs) were evaluated.ResultsSoundScore varied significantly between device classifications with Rx-HA yielding the highest average scores and PSAPs the lowest. SoundScore also varied with fitting method, whereby preset based devices scored lower on average than devices programmable by fitting software. Performance across the five composite sound performance metrics generally improved between “Initial” and “Tuned” fits for Rx-HA. However, this was not observed with OTC-SF. Also, no significant difference in SoundScore was found between devices of different form factors (i.e., BTE vs. ITE).ConclusionsInitial findings suggest that the SoundScore can effectively distinguish between the audio performance of different hearing aids, offering consumers a valuable decision-making tool. Future studies should examine the relationship between the SoundScore and consumer hearing aid benefit/satisfaction.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: The endorsement of circular economy, zero-waste, and sustainable development by the EU and UN has promoted non-thermal technologies in agro-food and health industries. While northern European countries rapidly integrate these technologies, their implementation in Mediterranean food-supply chains remains uncertain.Aims: We evaluated the usefulness of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) for valorizing orange peel waste in the fresh orange juice supply chain of the Maltese Islands.Method: We assessed: a) the effectiveness of HC in extracting bioactive compounds from orange peels (Citrus sinensis) in water (35°C) and 70% (v/v) ethanol (−10°C) over time, compared to conventional maceration, and b) the potato sprouting-suppression and biosorbent potential of the processed peel for copper, nitrate, and nitrite binding.Results: Prolonged HC-assisted extractions in water (high cavitation numbers), damaged and/or oxidized bioactive compounds, with flavonoids and ascorbic acid being more sensitive, whereas cold ethanolic extractions preserved the compounds involved in radical scavenging. HC-processing adequately modified the peel, enabling its use as a potato suppressant and biosorbent for copper, nitrate, and nitrite.Conclusion: Coupling HC-assisted bioactive compound extractions with using leftover peel for potato-sprouting prevention and as biosorbent for water pollutant removal offers a straightforward approach to promoting circular economic practices and sustainable agriculture in Malta.

Published: May 2024

BackgroundNutrients are crucial for dialysis patients, especially elderly patients. Nutrition-related complications in dialysis patients are often closely related to cardiovascular aging. However, we know little about the effect of different nutrients on the commonly used outcome predictor, health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Therefore, this study investigated the associations between different nutrients and HRQOL among dialysis patients.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 123 dialysis adults at multiple dialysis centers. The Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) assesses HRQOL. Modified quantitative subjective global assessment (MQSGA) evaluates nutritional status. A 3-day dietary record evaluated nutrient intakes.ResultsAmong the 123 participants, 79 received hemodialysis (HD), and 44 were on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Patients with PD had a higher SF-36 score than HD (525 ± 136 vs. 375 ± 179, P &lt; 0.001). A negative association between nutrition status and HRQOL was observed in HD (regression coefficient β = −17.4, P &lt; 0.001) but not in PD (β = −12.3, P = 0.07). For HD patients, the nutrition status was negatively correlated with intakes of carbohydrates, fiber, selenium, copper, and Manganese (β = −0.02, P = 0.032; β = −0.3, P = 0.031; β = −0.1, P = 0.006; β = −2.3, P = 0.025; β = −1.3, P = 0.003, respectively). Their HRQOL was positively associated with calories, fat, niacin, and vitamin E (β = 2.19, P = 0.035; β = 2.4, P = 0.043; β = 8.5, P = 0.044; β = 6.9, P = 0.017, respectively). Conversely, for patients with PD, only vitamin B2 was found to be adversely correlated with their nutritional status (β = −5.2, P = 0.037), and increased intakes of vitamin A, vitamin C and fiber (β = 0.1, P = 0.031; β = 0.8, P = 0.028; β = 15.8, P = 0.045, respectively) were associated with a better HRQOL.ConclusionsThe nutritional intake of PD patients and HD patients affects their quality of life differently. Macronutrients significantly impact HRQOL in HD patients, while vitamins have a more substantial impact on PD patients.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: The Yellow River Basin is an important national energy base and ecological protection area, and it is of great significance to promote the coordinated development of high-quality development and eco-environmental carrying capacity in the region.Methods: Taking the 73 prefecture-level cities along the Yellow River as the study unit, this paper measures the changes of high-quality development level and eco-environmental carrying capacity of municipalities from 2005 to 2020, using the coupling coordination degree model and fuzzy logic algorithm.Results and discussion: 1) The capital city and its surrounding cities have a high level of high-quality development, with the lower and middle reaches of the Yellow River having higher levels than the upper reaches. From 2005 to 2020, the level of high-quality development showed an upward trend. 2) The eco-environmental carrying capacity of cities in the lower reaches is higher than that in the upper reaches. From 2005 to 2020, the eco-environmental carrying capacity of cities in the lower reaches of the Yellow River increased first and then decreased. 3) The provincial capital cities have a high degree of coupling coordination, with cities in the lower reaches having a higher level than those in the middle and upper reaches. A high degree of coupling coordination reduces spatial differences, but dominated by primary coordination. 4) From 2005 to 2020, the eco-environmental carrying capacity tended to be coordinated with the high-quality development, close to a high level and system optimization. In the end, we conclude with policy recommendations to promote high-quality urban development and harmony between people and nature in the region.

Published: May 2024

BackgroundThe relationship between gut microbiota and breast cancer has been extensively studied; however, changes in gut microbiota after breast cancer surgery are still largely unknown.Materials and methodsA total of 20 patients with breast cancer underwent routine open surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College from 1 June 2022 to 1 December 2022. Stool samples were collected from the patients undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer preoperatively, 3 days later, and 7 days later postoperatively. The stool samples were subjected to 16s rRNA sequencing.ResultsSurgery did not affect the α-diversity of gut microbiota. The β-diversity and composition of gut microorganisms were significantly affected by surgery in breast cancer patients. Both linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis and between-group differences analysis showed that surgery led to a decrease in the abundance of Firmicutes and Lachnospiraceae and an increase in the abundance of Proteobacteria and Enterobacteriaceae. Moreover, 127 differential metabolites were screened and classified into 5 categories based on their changing trends. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed significant changes in the phenylalanine metabolic pathway and exogenous substance metabolic pathway. Eight characterized metabolites were screened using ROC analysis.ConclusionOur study found that breast cancer surgery significantly altered gut microbiota composition and metabolites, with a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in potentially harmful bacteria. This underscores the importance of enhanced postoperative management to optimize gut microbiota.
Effects of single-anastomosis duodenal–ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy on gut microbiota and glucose metabolism in rats with type 2 diabetes

Published: May 2024

BackgroundBariatric and metabolic surgery often leads to significant changes in gut microbiota composition, indicating that changes in gut microbiota after bariatric and metabolic surgery might play a role in ameliorating type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the effects of single-anastomosis duodenal–ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) on gut microbiota in T2D remain unclear.ObjectivesTo investigate the effects of SADI-S on gut microbiota and glucose metabolism in T2D rats.MethodsNineteen T2D rats were randomly divided into the SADI-S group (n = 10) and the sham operation with pair-feeding group (sham-PF, n = 9). Fecal samples were collected to analyze the gut microbiota composition with 16S ribosomal DNA gene sequencing. The fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin were measured to evaluate the effects of SADI-S on glucose metabolism.ResultsThe Chao and ACE index results indicated the richness of the gut microbial community. The ACE and Chao index values were significantly lower in the SADI-S group than in the sham-PF group, indicating that indicating that species richness was significantly lower in the SADI-S group than in the sham-PF group (p &lt; 0.05). Shannon and Simpson indices were used to estimate the species diversity of the gut microbiota. Compared with the sham-PF group, the SADI-S group showed significantly lower Shannon index and higher Simpson index values, indicating that the species diversity was significantly lower in the SADI-S group than in the sham-PF group (p &lt; 0.05). At the genus level, SADI-S significantly changed the abundances of 33 bacteria, including the increased anti-inflammatory bacteria (Akkermansia and Bifidobacterium) and decreased pro-inflammatory bacteria (Bacteroides). SADI-S significantly decreased the fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels. The blood glucose level of rats was positively correlated with the relative abundances of 12 bacteria, including Bacteroides, and negatively correlated with the relative abundances of seven bacteria, including Bifidobacterium.ConclusionSADI-S significantly altered the gut microbiota composition of T2D rats, including the increased anti-inflammatory bacteria (Akkermansia and Bifidobacterium) and decreased pro-inflammatory bacteria (Bacteroides). The blood glucose level of rats was positively correlated with the abundances of 12 bacteria, including Bacteroides, but negatively correlated with the relative abundance of 7 bacteria, including Bifidobacterium. These alternations in gut microbiota may be the mechanism through which SADI-S improved T2D. More studies should be performed in the future to validate these effects.
