Les bouches d’aération du métro algérois, une source d’énergie inexploitée et un potentiel architectural inexploré
Authors: Athamena Khaled 
Published: May 2024

Cet article a pour objectif de mettre en lumière le potentiel énergétique des bouches d’aération du métro algérois de même que la pollution de l’air qu’elles peuvent engendrer. Le but étant de sensibiliser la communauté scientifique ainsi que celle des architectes et urbanistes aux bienfaits de ces enceintes souterraines et d’attirer leur attention sur les risques qu’elles peuvent engendrer sur la santé des usagers ainsi que sur la qualité de l’air des espaces publics algérois. Cette étude présente, par ailleurs, des solutions de mutation architecturale de ces bouches d’aération, aménagées le plus souvent au ras du sol, en « tours de ventilation » afin de limiter leur risque sanitaire, et fournit des pistes de réflexion sur leur intégration dans le paysage urbain algérois. Parmi les solutions proposées, l’architecture parasite représente une alternative novatrice pour optimiser le profit et l’intégration de ces tours de ventilation dans leur milieu urbain. Une proposition de conception de cette architecture est proposée. Elle a été entamée dans le cadre d’une expérience pédagogique sur une bouche de métro située à l’intérieur d’une friche urbaine localisée au quartier d’El-Hamma à Alger. Une proposition architecturale qui a permis d’allier « technicité », à travers la récupération de l’énergie aérodynamique et géothermique de la bouche d’aération, et « action parasite » à travers une architecture réversible. Cette dernière se démarque par son engagement, tantôt en faveur de la protection de l’environnement, tantôt pour dénoncer les approches brutales de démolition et militante d’une approche de mutation et de redynamisation des situations architecturale et urbaine en perte de vitalité.

Abstract
The invasive pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), damages field peas, Pisum sativum Linnaeus (Fabaceae), and faba beans, Vicia faba Linnaeus (Fabaceae), on the Canadian prairies. We used semiochemical-baited pitfall traps to monitor and detect S. lineatus range expansion and capture associated predaceous ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in pulse-growing regions across Alberta. Traps captured male and female S. lineatus in all pulse-growing regions in the spring and fall, including a first record of S. lineatus in the Peace River region of northwestern Alberta. Pheromone-baited traps captured more weevils than unbaited traps did, and the addition of host plant volatiles did not increase the catch. More weevils were captured in traps in pea fields compared to in faba bean fields. Rubber septa lures released more pheromones and attracted a similar number or more weevils to traps than microcentrifuge tube lures did. Ground beetle capture was not affected by semiochemical baits targeting S. lineatus. Ground beetle diversity varied by region and collection period, but the most frequently collected species was Pterostichus melanarius, a potential predator of S. lineatus. This study shows that pitfall traps baited with rubber septa pheromone lures can be used to monitor new and expanding S. lineatus populations, as well as potential natural enemy communities.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

Context
Structural evidence for corticospinal tract (CST) abnormality between patients with ACLR and healthy controls, and the relationships between CST structure and clinical features of the patients (e.g., objective sensorimotor outcomes, postoperative duration) are lacking.

Objectives
To investigate whether the structural features of CST 1) differ between patients with ACLR and healthy controls, and 2) were associated with clinical features in patients following ACLR.

Design
Cross-sectional study

Setting
Sports medicine laboratory

Patients or Other Participants
Twenty-six patients who had undergone ACLR and twenty-six healthy controls were enrolled in this cross-sectional investigation.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
Using the CST as the region of interest, we performed diffusion tensor imaging to measure the microstructure of white matter tracts. Between-group comparisons and correlation analyses with clinical features in patients with ACLR were performed.

Results
The patients with ACLR showed significant, moderate lower fractional anisotropy (FA, Cohen’s d = -0.666, 95% CIs -1.221 to -0.104), lower axial diffusivity (AD, Cohen’s d = -0.526, 95% CIs -1.077 to 0.030), and higher radial diffusivity (RD, Cohen’s d = 0.514, 95% CIs -0.042 to 1.064) when compared to that of healthy controls, with the RD values being significantly correlated with the postoperative duration (r = 0.623, p &lt; 0.001) after controlling the age, sex, and BMI in patients with ACLR.

Conclusions
This study revealed that patients with ACLR have impaired integrity (lower FA values and higher RD values) in the CST contralateral to the ACLR injured limb in comparison with healthy controls. Decreased integrity (higher RD) of the CST in patients was significantly associated with longer postoperative duration, which hinted that impaired structural integrity of the CST may be a maladaptive process of neuroplasticity in ACLR.

Authors: Oyelowo Nasir , Ahmed Muhammed , Lawal Ahmad Tijani , Sudi Abdullahi , Adetola Tolani Awaisu Mudi Musliu , Fidelis Lovely , Bello Ahmad , Maitama Husseini Yusuf 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Fournier's gangrene is an infectious urological emergency with associated morbidity and varying rates of mortality in the world. Various predictors of mortality such as advancing age, Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI), anatomical extent of the disease, or presence of risk factors have been studied in the literature, though with conflicting results.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to determine the presentation and predictors of mortality in our environment, Nigeria.

Patients and Methods:
A review of medical records of all the patients managed from April 2012 to December 2018 at a tertiary referral center in Nigeria was conducted. Data on clinical presentation, FGSI, management, and outcome were retrieved and analyzed.

Statistical Analysis:
Descriptive studies using mean and standard deviation were used for continuous variables, Fischer's exact test was used to compare categorical variables among survivors and nonsurvivors, and logistic regression analysis was used to describe the relationships of these variables with mortality.

Results:
The mean age of the 31 patients was 60 ± 12 years. All were men, with 9 (29.0%) patients without clinical evidence of immunosuppression or predisposing factor (idiopathic). Fourteen (45%) had documented evidence of immunosuppression. All the patients had a polymicrobial infection; however, Escherichia coli was the most common organism cultured seen in 26 (83.9%) patients. The initial empirical antibiotic regimen of choice was a combination of intravenous ceftriaxone and metronidazole in 26 (83.8%) patients and intravenous ciprofloxacin and metronidazole in 5 (16.1%) patients. Mortality was recorded in three patients representing a rate of 9.6%. Anatomical extent of the disease, anemia requiring blood transfusion, severity of infection, and FGSI were all found to be the statistically significant variable of mortality in these patients using the Fischer exact test. Furthermore, on regression analysis only the FGSI and blood transfusion were significant with P < 0.05.

Conclusion:
Fournier's gangrene is a disease of the older men with a higher mortality rate when the FGSI is >9 or anemia requiring blood transfusion is present.
Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Related Factors in Iranian Female Nurses
Authors: Nasiri Maryam , Sigaroudi Abdolhosein Emami , Moghadamnia Mohammad Taghi , Leili Ehsan Kazemnezhad 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Lower Urinary Tract Symptom (LUTS) are common among female nurses. High levels of job stress in nurses may be associated with the prevalence of these symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of LUTS and factors related to these symptoms in female nurses.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study in which 460 nurses and nursing assistants participated was conducted. A questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic data, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire – Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, and Toileting Behavior – Women's Elimination Behavior Scale was used. Data analysis was performed by descriptive and inferential statistical tests at a significant level of p < 0.05.

Results:
The highest and lowest scores of LUTS were related to the urgency and nocturnal enuresis with a mean (SD) score of 1.85 (1.03) and 0.05 (0.26), respectively. Concerning toileting behaviors, the highest score was for the place preference for voiding with a mean (SD) score of 4.13 (0.66), which correlated with LUTS. Among controllable variables, years of practice, urinary tract infections, use of perineal pads for urinary leakage, lifting heavy objects at work, and medical history were identified as predictors of LUTS (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:
LUTS was highly prevalent in the female nurses. The results revealed that unhealthy toileting behaviors may contribute to the prevalence of LUTS. Early identification of these symptoms and the development of an educational intervention program to enhance the knowledge of healthy toileting behaviors may prevent the occurrence of urinary symptoms.

Published: May 2024

Background:
More than half of the population of women suffer from cyclic mastalgia which can interfere with women's sexual function and affect their sexual satisfaction. The current study was conducted to determine the effect of sexual counseling on sexual satisfaction in women with cyclic mastalgia.

Materials and Methods:
This randomized controlled trial study was performed on 81 women with cyclic mastalgia. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups of intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 41). Intervention was performed as Permission, Limited information, Specific suggestions, Intensive therapy (PLISSIT) sex counseling in four sessions for a maximum of 90 min in the intervention group. The demographic checklist and Index of Sexual Satisfaction (ISS) were used for data collection. Follow-up was performed 1 and 3 months after the intervention. The obtained data were analyzed using repeated-measures test.

Results:
The intervention and control groups were in good balance in terms of demographic characteristics and sexual satisfaction scores prior to the intervention and no statistically significant differences were observed. There was a statistically significant increase in the mean (SD) score of female sexual satisfaction in the intervention group: 93 (12.52), 101.15 (7.70),101.37 (5.31), (F
(1,39) = 27.4, p < 0.001). We also observed a decrease in the mean (SD) score of sexual satisfaction in the control group: 93.39 (13.12), 90.68 (8.41), 90.85 (6.57), (F
(1,40) = 11.9, p < 0.001) 1 and 3 months following the intervention.

Conclusions:
This study revealed that individual counseling by PLISSIT sex counseling could lead to improvement in sexual satisfaction index in women with cyclic breast pain.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background:
The maternal sense of competence refers to the mother’s sense of ability to care for the baby. Maternal competence can affect the mother’s parenting capacities. Maternal preparation programs are aimed to increase mothers’ knowledge and improve their maternal competence. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effect of a maternal preparation program on maternal role competence.

Materials and Methods:
A systematic search was conducted using the following MeSH terms: “education”, “program”, and “parenting sense of competence” in databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, and Scopus, from inception till July 2022. All Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) published in any language were extracted. Articles were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of the included articles was assessed by two qualified reviewers based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).

Results:
Of the 170 published works that were retrieved in the initial stage, five articles including 647 first-time mothers were analyzed. A meta-analysis showed that parenting preparation program interventions increased maternal role competence in first-time mothers as opposed to those who received routine care Mean Difference (MD) = 3.31, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) [2.07, 4.55].

Conclusions:
The results of this study encourage health policymakers to develop maternal preparation programs for first-time mothers and their children.

Authors: Lohrasebi Fatemeh , Maghsoudi Jahangir , Alavi Mousa , Akbari Mohammad 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Family members of Chronic Mental Disorders (CMD), who are responsible for patient care, face many physical, psychological, and social problems which make them face the burden of care. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a psychosocial health promotion program on the care burden of family caregivers of patients with CMD.

Materials and Methods:
This is a quasi-experimental study that was conducted in two intervention and control groups in the form of pretest and posttest. This study was performed on 67 family caregivers of patients with CMD in Farabi and Noor centers in Isfahan, Iran. Participants in this study were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. Data from the intervention and control groups were collected in two stages, before and after the intervention by demographic information form and Zarit burden questionnaire. The intervention group received a web-based psychosocial health promotion program in eight sessions in 4 weeks. At the end of the intervention, the Zarit questionnaire was completed by the intervention and control groups.

Results:
The mean score of care burden between the intervention and control groups was not statistically significantly different before the implementation of the program (p = 0.534). But after the intervention, the mean score of care burden was significantly different between the two groups (t
65 = 3.43, p = 0.001).

Conclusions:
This study provides evidence for the benefits of web-based psychosocial health promotion program in reducing the perceived care burden of the caregiver of CMD.
Competency assessment of the operating room staff and some related factors
Authors: Cheraqpur Mandana , Aarabi Akram , Bahrami Masoud , Akbari Leila 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Operating Rooms (ORs) are complicated environments that necessitate the improvement of OR staff's knowledge and skills to remain clinically competent and secure patient safety. The aim of this study was to assess clinical competence of OR staff in accordance with some related factors.

Materials and Methods:
This descriptive analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 227 OR staff in nine academic hospitals. Sampling was performed from the beginning to the end of May 2019 and the samples were selected by quota sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire encompassing six dimensions of competency including general knowledge, specialized knowledge, general practical skills, specific practical skills, personality, and motivation. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and interpretive statistics.

Results:
The mean (SD) total score of competence was 80.99, which was optimal (11.28). The lowest score was related to the dimension of general practical skills with the mean (SD) score of 53.32 (10.26). The mean score of specialized practical skills was significantly higher in single-specialty ORs (F = 21.53, p < 0.001). Based on multiple linear regression test, it was possible to predict clinical competency through the age and work experience (R-squared = 0.96, beta = 0.31, p = 0.022).

Conclusions:
Specialized training has overshadowed the general practical skills that are related to the observation of basic principles of patient safety apart from surgical specialization. Strengthening of competence in general practical skills need to be prioritized in empowerment programs. We need a fixed and permanent space for the continuation of educational programs designed to promote perioperative general practical skills.

Authors: Rajati Reihane , Khadivzade Talat , Esmaeili Habibollah , Danesh Fereshte 
Published: May 2024

Background:
In the last three decades, childbearing in Iran has decreased more than many countries in the world. The aim of this study was to explore the fertility motivation of Working women and their husbands and discover which one determines the number of children.

Materials and Methods:
This correlational study was conducted on 540 employed, married women and their husbands (270 couples) living in Mashhad, Iran, during 2017–2018. The participants were selected through multistage cluster sampling. Then, a random number table was used. Subsequently, questionnaires were distributed and completed at home, and collected after 24 h. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics form and the Childbearing Questionnaire (CBQ).

Results:
The mean(SD) positive motivation scores of men and women differed significantly [92.77 (13.04) Vs. 92.22 (13.51) df = 4; p = 0.001;]. The mean (SD) negative motivation scores of men and women also differed significantly 55.42 (10.94) Vs. 56.78 (10.57) df = 4; p = 0.001;].

Conclusions:
According to the scores obtained for the positive and negative fertility motivations of working women and their husbands, women were more in favor of having children and had an ambivalent motivation to bear children. Moreover, the working women’s spouses were more indifferent to fertility. The results of this study can help reproductive health policymakers in childbearing.

Abstract

Background:
Considering the threats in the operating room during the COVID-19 pandemic, the optimal care and safety of the operating room nurses should be maintained when performing surgery on an acute respiratory patient. It seems necessary to design a tool to measure the caring behaviors of operating room nurses. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim to design a valid and reliable tool for measuring the caring behavior of operating room nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and

Methods:
In this sequential, exploratory, mixed-method study, the designing and psychometric evaluation of the caring behaviors of operating room nurses questionnaire during the COVID-19 pandemic were performed in qualitative and quantitative phases from August 2021 to July 2022 in Aja University of Medical Sciences, Iran. In the qualitative phase, the concept of caring behaviors of operating room nurses was explored through interviews and a literature review based on online searches. In the quantitative phase, validity (face, content, and construct), and reliability of the questionnaire were evaluated.

Results:
The findings supported 21 items in the 5 factors of caring behaviors related to attitude toward patients, knowledge of surgical care, virus prevention principles, self-care knowledge, and self-care performance, which explained 35.92 of the total variance. Scale-Content Validity Index/Average and Cronbach’s alpha were calculated to be 0.93 and 0.89, respectively.

Conclusions:
Given its desirable reliability and validity, simple scoring, and ease of use by operating room nurses, the Caring Behaviors of Operating Room Nurses Questionnaire is applicable and its use is recommended.

Abstract

Background:
There are various approaches in primary health care regarding the key role of nurses. This systematic review investigates the roles of nurses, as part of the family medicine team.

Materials and Methods:
All published articles related to the role of nurses in the family medicine team from January 2000 to March 2022 were the subjects of this study. The eligibility criteria included original articles published in English or Persian in the last two decades. International credible scholarly databases (PubMed, Scopus, Magiran, IranMedex, and SID) were searched using keywords and syntax. Some of the keywords included “Family Health Nurse,” “Nurses in Primary Care,” “Family Medicine,” “Family Physician Care Program,” “General Physician Program,” “Role,” and “Nurse.” Data were extracted based on Sample, Phenomenon of Interest, Design, Evaluation, Research type (SPIDER) technique and reported based on the structure of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).

Results:
Of 147 identified publications by the search strategy, eight eligible empirical studies were included. The results showed that besides providing nursing care, nurses play vital roles in communication and teamwork, assessment, securing health services relevant to communities’ needs, education, empowerment, clinical practice, health promotion, prevention, reflective research practice, and counseling.

Conclusions:
This study identified different roles nurses could play in providing primary health care. These findings are helpful for the replanning or reform of primary health care in countries, which aimed to expand the Family Physician Program (FPP) in their countries, including Iran.
