Home-based self-management multimodal cancer interventions & cardiotoxicity: a scoping review
Authors: Talty Anna , Morris Roseanne , Deighan Carolyn 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
Due to advancements in methods of cancer treatment, the population of people living with and beyond cancer is dramatically growing. The number of cancer survivors developing cardiovascular diseases and heart failure is also rising, due in part to the cardiotoxic nature of many cancer treatments. Guidelines are being increasingly released, emphasising the need for interdisciplinary action to address this gap in survivorship care. However, the extent to which interventions exist, incorporating the recommendations of cardio-oncology research, remains undetermined.

Objective
The aim of this scoping review is to assess the nature, extent and remit of existing cancer care interventions and their integration of cardio-oncology principles.

Methods
The review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews Guidelines. Databases were independently searched for articles from 2010 to 2022, by two members of the research team. Data were charted and synthesised using the following criteria: (a) the focus of the intervention (b) the medium of delivery (c) the duration (d) the modalities included in the interventions (e) the research articles associated with each intervention (f) the type of studies conducted (g) key measures used (h) outcomes reported.

Results
Interventions encompassed six key modalities: Psychological Support, Physical Activity, Nutrition, Patient Education, Lifestyle and Caregiver Support. The focus, medium of delivery and duration of interventions varied significantly. While a considerable number of study protocols and pilot studies exist documenting HSMIs, only 25% appear to have progressed beyond this stage of development. Of those that have, the present review did not identify any ‘feasible’ interventions that covered each of the six modalities, while being generalisable to all cancer survivors and incorporating the recommendations from cardio-oncology research.

Conclusion
Despite the substantial volume of research and evidence from the field of cardio-oncology, the findings of this scoping review suggest that the recommendations from guidelines have yet to be successfully translated from theory to practice. There is an opportunity, if not necessity, for cardiac rehabilitation to expand to meet the needs of those living with and beyond cancer.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
The association between obesity and depression may partly depend on the contextual metabolic health. The effect of change in metabolic health status over time on subsequent depression risk remains unclear. We aimed to assess the prospective association between metabolic health and its change over time and the risk of depression across body mass index (BMI) categories.

Methods
Based on a nationally representative cohort, we included participants enrolled at the wave 2 (2004–2005) of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing and with follow-up for depression at wave 8 (2016–2017). Participants were cross-classified by BMI categories and metabolic health (defined by the absence of hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia) at baseline or its change over time (during waves 3–6). Logistic regression model was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of depression at follow-up stratified by BMI category and metabolic health status with adjustment for potential confounders.

Results
The risk of depression was increased for participants with metabolically healthy obesity compared with healthy nonobese participants, and the risk was highest for those with metabolically unhealthy obesity (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.18–2.20). Particularly hypertension and diabetes contribute most to the increased risk. The majority of metabolically healthy participants converted to unhealthy metabolic phenotype (50.1% of those with obesity over 8 years), which was associated with an increased risk of depression. Participants who maintained metabolically healthy obesity were still at higher risk (1.99, 1.33–2.72), with the highest risk observed for those with stable unhealthy metabolic phenotypes.

Conclusions
Obesity remains a risk factor for depression, independent of whether other metabolic risk factors are present or whether participants convert to unhealthy metabolic phenotypes over time. Long-term maintenance of metabolic health and healthy body weight may be beneficial for the population mental well-being.
Summer Happiness: Performing the Good Life in a Tibetan Town
Authors: Zhang Fan 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This ethnographic article focuses on the performance of Alce Lhamo (Sister Goddess) in Lithang, a Tibetan town on the western tip of Sichuan Province in China. It explores the linkages between local ways of residing in the world, the cosmological universe, and cosmopolitan centers. With an analysis of the two local Sister Goddess troupes and their competing claims to authority and authenticity, interactions with the local government, manipulation of state policies, and engagement with the global world, it sheds light on how people incorporate merit, karma, profit, power, the state, and the market in their vision of the good life, and how aspirations to the good life extend beyond the local and the social to include the cosmopolitan and cosmological scales.
Inventory Management with Advance Booking Information: The Case of Surgical Supplies and Elective Surgeries
Authors: Chan Jacky , Görgülü Berk , Sarhangian Vahid 
Published: February 2024

Problem definition: Medical operations require a large volume and variety of consumable supplies that are kept in hospital inventory and replenished on a regular basis. Stringent requirements on the availability of these supplies, together with high variability in their daily usage, contribute to the high inventory costs of the surgical departments in hospitals. We investigate the value of utilizing Advance Booking Information (ABI) on elective surgeries—which are often booked up to months in advance—in reducing inventory costs. Methodology/results: We study a single-item, periodic-review, stochastic inventory control problem, where the item demand in each period is driven by the number and type of surgeries requiring the item, and with the available information on elective surgeries integrated into the ordering decisions. Given that item usage from each case is uncertain and only realized after the surgery, ABI provides imperfect information on future demand. Through exact analysis of a simplified version of the problem, as well as extensive numerical experiments using synthetic and real data, enabled using a state aggregation technique, we provide insights on and quantify the value of using ABI as a function of the number of periods of ABI integrated into the ordering decisions. We identify a relevant parameter regime—namely, high backlog (relative to holding) costs and when surgeries are booked sufficiently in advance—where the value of using ABI could be significant and the majority of the benefits can be gained through incorporating only one period of ABI beyond the order lead time. In a case study conducted using real data, we observe up to 26% reduction in average inventory levels, without violating the service levels. Managerial implications: By incorporating readily available elective surgery schedules into replenishment decisions of surgical supplies, hospitals could significantly reduce inventory costs without compromising the availability of the supplies.

Perioperative and long-term results of ultrasonography-guided single- and multiple-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy for staghorn calculi
Authors: Cheng Rui-Xiang , Dai Ni , Wang Yan-Min , Qi Pei , Chen Fen 
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND
It is possible that this condition will lead to urosepsis and progressive deterioration of renal function in the absence of surgical intervention. Several recent clinical studies have shown that multi-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy (M-PCNL) has a similar stone free rate (SFR) as standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (S-PCNL). As a result, M-PCNL was also recommended as a treatment option for staghorn calculi.
AIM
To examine the perioperative and long-term results of ultrasonography-guided single- and M-PCNL.
METHODS
This was a retrospective cohort study. Between March 2021 and January 2022, the urology department of our hospital selected patients for the treatment of staghorn calculi using percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The primary outcomes were complication rate and SFR, and the characteristics of patients, operative parameters, laboratory measurements were also collected.
RESULTS
In total, 345 patients were enrolled in the study (186 in the S-PCNL group and 159 in the M-PCNL group). The SFR in the M-PCNL group was significantly higher than that in the S-PCNL group (P = 0.033). Moreover, the incidence rates of hydrothorax (P = 0.03) and postoperative infection (P = 0.012) were higher in the M-PCNL group than in the S-PCNL group. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that post-operative white blood cell count (OR = 2.57, 95%CI: 1.90-3.47, P < 0.001) and stone size (OR = 1.59, 95%CI: 1.27-2.00, P < 0.001) were associated with a higher overall complication rate in the S-PCNL group. Body mass index (OR = 1.22, 95%CI: 1.06-1.40, P = 0.004) and stone size (OR = 1.70, 95%CI: 1.35-2.15, P < 0.001) were associated with increased overall complications in the M-PCNL group.
CONCLUSION
Multiple access tracts can facilitate higher SFR while slightly increasing the incidence of acceptable complications.
Level of Stress and its Causes in Indian Engineering Colleges and in Different Professional Colleges Belonging to One of the Universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Compared to Control

Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND
Stress in life can deteriorate the physical and mental health of a person. Stress is higher among medical college students. The present study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence and causes of stress in different professions, in different countries, and different sexes to compare with the control and suggest possible solutions for the same in the future.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was undertaken among different professional college students (PCS) (Medical, Engineering, Dental, Pharmacy, and Nursing) at a randomly selected King Faisal University in Saudi Arabia with control from the same university. A similar study was conducted at one rural engineering college and one urban engineering college in India. The level of stress was assessed using the perceived stress scale (1983). Data was collected, tabulated, and analyzed using Excel and SPSS software. Complete data was available from 426 PCS at KFU, including 120 students from rural engineering colleges in India and 31 students from urban engineering colleges in India. A total of 60 controls were taken from non-professional colleges in SA.
RESULTS
The overall prevalence of stress was high in all PCS, and it varied from 65.33% to 87.10% in different PCS. The causes of stress were a vast and difficult syllabus, pattern of exams, lack of counselling and guidance, fewer co-curricular activities, etc. Stress in nonprofessional control was 30.00%.
CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of stress is more in different professional college students irrespective of colleges, countries and sex compared to control. The causes of stress among all these students are similar. So the planning and managements for professional colleges must take it seriously. These issues can be solved by providing more teaching and learning facilities, creating a relaxing atmosphere within the college, changing the patterns of examinations, regular counselling, inclusion of recreations like cultural activities, educational tours, music, sports, etc. along with the curriculum. All these things might create more and more healthy and educated professionals to serve our society.
An Enigmatic Discovery - Accidental Insertion of Internal Jugular Haemodialysis Catheter into the Vertebral Vein
Authors: Rishab Shah  
Published: February 2024

A 40-year-old male was admitted to the medical ward with chronic kidney disease with uremic symptoms and a decision was made to initiate the patient on haemodialysis. It was decided to catheterize the right internal jugular vein directly as the patient would require an A-V fistula in the near future which would be created in the left arm subsequently.
Procedure
During the time of right internal jugular vein catheterization using the anterior landmark technique, the right carotid artery was punctured leading to hematoma formation on the right side of the neck, despite adequate haemostatic measures.
It was decided to catheterize the left internal jugular vein subsequently. Using the anterior landmark technique again, venipuncture was performed on the left side of the neck and in the first attempt itself the guide wire was inserted without any difficulty or resistance.
Safe back-flow of venous blood was achieved through all ports of the catheter; that is, the catheter tip was presumed to be well positioned in the left internal jugular vein (IJV), as seen on the chest X-ray taken following the procedure.
Clinical Course
The patient complained of numbness over the left shoulder and weakness of the left upper limb following the procedure and was evaluated for the same. Under the clinical suspicion of left vertebral artery catheterization, a vascular surgeon opinion was sought and a CT angiogram of the neck was advised.
The CT angiogram revealed the catheter entering the left vertebral vein at the level of C6 vertebra, coursing anteroinferiorly reaching the left brachiocephalic vein with its tip noted at the confluence of subclavian vein with internal jugular vein.
After the CT angiogram, the misplaced catheter was promptly extracted to prevent the onset of additional complications.
No excessive resistance was encountered during the catheter removal, and there were no signs of hematoma formation.
Over the next few days, the patient’s symptoms of numbness and weakness resolved spontaneously.
The patient had no neurological complaints and deficits on examination during follow-up in the outpatient department.
The outcome of reduced and non-reduced triplet pregnancies managed in a tertiary hospital during a 15-year-period – a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Jernman Riina Maria , Rissanen Annu-Riikka Susanna , Stefanovic Vedran 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Triplet pregnancies involve several complications, the most important being prematurity as virtually all triplets are born preterm. We conducted this study to compare the outcomes of reduced vs. non-reduced triplet pregnancies managed in the largest tertiary hospital in Finland.

Methods
This was a retrospective cohort study in the Helsinki University Hospital during 2006–2020. Data on the pregnancies, parturients and newborns were collected from patient records. The fetal number, chorionicity and amnionicity were defined in first-trimester ultrasound screening. The main outcome measures were perinatal and neonatal mortality of non-reduced triplets, compared to twins and singletons selectively reduced of triplet pregnancies.

Results
There were 57 initially triplet pregnancies and 35 of these continued as non-reduced triplets and resulted in the delivery of 104 liveborn children. The remaining 22 cases were spontaneously or medically reduced to twins (9) or singletons (13). Most (54.4 %) triplet pregnancies were spontaneous. There were no significant differences in gestational age at delivery between triplets (mean 33+0, median 34+0) and those reduced to twins (mean 32+5, median 36+0). The survival at one week of age was higher for triplets compared to twins (p<0.00001).

Conclusions
Most pregnancies continued as non-reduced triplets, which were born at a similar gestational age but with a significantly higher liveborn rate compared to those reduced to twins. There were no early neonatal deaths among cases reduced to singletons. Prematurity was the greatest concern for multiples in this cohort, whereas the small numbers may explain the lack of difference in gestational age between these groups.

Published: February 2024

The development of community reading parks through the application of technology and Information Literacy concepts has become a significant effort in promoting literacy and access to knowledge within the community at large. This effort is necessary to utilise the principles of technology and information literacy to improve reading experience and knowledge dissemination. This research discusses the implementation of information literacy in the library of Karya Mulya community reading park. The purpose of this study is to describe the development of Taman Baca Masyarakat (TBM) Karya Mulya through the application of technology and the concept of Information Literacy through an activity programme created by academic supervisors of lecturers and students. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was done through observation and interviews with TBM managers. The results of this study indicate that the development of TBM Karya Mulya through the application of technology and the concept of Information Literacy is designed in addition to supporting one of its parent programmes, namely TBM Karya Mulya, also to introduce the concept of information literacy to TBM managers. The implementation of the programme consists of several types of activities such as the installation of SLiMS, E-DDC, and the classification of unnumbered books for stored books as well as introducing the concept of information literacy to students. This activity has enriched the understanding of information literacy among visitors to Taman Bacaan Masyarakat Karya Mulya, especially students and lecturers who were previously unfamiliar with the concept of information literacy.
Library Volunteers at Gonzaga College High School Library: Motivation and Impact for Students
Authors: Fadhilah Ilyas , Rianti Fahma 
Published: February 2024

This study aims to determine the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of students as Library Lovers of Gonzaga College High School (PPKG) and the impact felt by students. The method used in this research is qualitative with a case study approach. Determination of informants using purposive sampling technique with a total of 5 informants. Data sources were obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data validity test using source triangulation. The theories used for analysis are Frederick Herzberg's two-factor motivation theory, Janusz Reykowski's prosocial motivation theory, and Clary, et al's volunteer functions inventory (VFI) model. The results of this study show that the motivation most felt by students as library volunteers at Gonzaga College High School Library is extrinsic motivation. This motivation comes from outside oneself and usually there is influence from others, especially from the head of the library as the supervisor of PPKG activities, the existence of healthy interpersonal relationships, reciprocity from the library to the PPKG party, then a safe and healthy workplace, so that this PPKG activity can reduce something negative in its members. Meanwhile, the intrinsic motivation that is felt more than other aspects is that overall PPKG activities have a positive impact on the learning process and learning achievement in class. However, not all felt the impact on their information literacy skills. .
