Serum phosphate levels and the development of sepsis associated acute kidney injury: evidence from two independent databases
Authors: Fang Yipeng , Zhang Yuan , Zhang Xin 
Published: March 2024

ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the association between serum phosphate levels and the risk for developing sepsis associated acute kidney injury (SAKI).MethodsSeptic patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC IV) and the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD) were enrolled. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to visualize the relationship between phosphate levels and the risk of SAKI. Patients were divided into four categories based on their serum phosphate levels. Logistic regression analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and subgroup analysis were performed to evaluate the predictive value of serum phosphate for SAKI.ResultsA total of 9,244 and 2,124 patients from the MIMIC IV and eICU-CRD database were included in the final analysis. RCS curve revealed a non-linear correlation between phosphate levels and the risk of SAKI (p for non-linearity &lt;0.05). Each 1 mg/dL increase in phosphate levels was associated with a 1.51 to 1.64-fold increased risk of SAKI (OR 2.51–2.64, p &lt; 0.001) in the MIMIC IV cohort and a 0.29 to 0.38-fold increased risk (OR 1.29–1.38, p &lt; 0.001) in the eICU-CRD cohort. Compared to the normal-low category, hyperphosphatemia and normal-high category were independently associated with an increased risk of SAKI, while hypophosphatemia was independently associated with a decreased risk in the MIMIC IV cohort. A similar trend was observed in the eICU-CRD cohort, but statistical significance disappeared in the hypophosphatemia category and the adjusted model of normal high category. These finding was consistent in subgroup analysis.ConclusionElevated serum phosphate, even within the normal range, is an independent risk factor for developing SAKI in septic patients. Abnormal change in serum phosphate levels may be a novel biomarker for early prediction of SAKI occurrence.
Efficacy of chronic neck pain self-treatment using press needles: a randomized controlled clinical trial
Authors: Horike Kaori , Ukezono Masatoshi 
Published: March 2024

BackgroundChronic neck pain is common among Japanese individuals, but few receive treatment. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture using press needles in the self-treatment of chronic neck pain and preliminarily identify the characteristics of patients likely to benefit from this treatment.MethodsFifty participants with chronic neck pain were allocated to receive either press needle or placebo treatment for 3 weeks. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and motion-related VAS (M-VAS) scores for neck pain, Neck Disability Index score, and pressure pain threshold were measured at baseline, after the first session, at the end of the last session, and 1 week after the last session. Changes in the outcomes were analyzed using analysis of variance, and the relationships between the variables were evaluated using structural equation modeling.ResultsIntervention results as assessed by VAS score revealed no significant differences in the ANOVA. A between-groups comparison of M-VAS scores at the end of the last session and baseline showed a significant difference (press needle: −21.64 ± 4.47, placebo: −8.09 ± 3.81, p = 0.025, d = −0.65). Structural equation modeling revealed a significant pain-reducing effect of press needle treatment (β = −0.228, p = 0.049). Severity directly affected efficacy (β = −0.881, p &lt; 0.001). Pain duration, baseline VAS and Neck Disability Index scores were variables explaining severity, while age and occupational computer use were factors affecting severity.ConclusionSelf-treatment with press needles for chronic neck pain did not significantly reduce the VAS score compared to placebo but reduced the motion-related pain as assessed by M-VAS score. A direct association was observed between pain severity and the effectiveness of press needles, and the impact of age and computer were indirectly linked by pain severity.Clinical Trial RegistrationIdentifier UMIN-CTR, UMIN000044078.
Persisting inhibition biases efficient rule inference under uncertainty

Published: March 2024

IntroductionTask set inhibition supports optimal switching among tasks by actively suppressing the interference from recently executed competing task sets. It is typically studied in cued task-switching paradigms where there is no uncertainty about the task set or rule to prepare for on each trial. While inhibition has been shown to influence the speed and the accuracy of task execution, affecting task set retrieval, preparation, or implementation in conditions of task set switching, it remains uninvestigated whether it also affects rule selection under uncertainty.MethodsWe implemented an ad-hoc four-rule card sorting task and categorized the rules selected by participants after a rule shift according to the recency of their last usage. We included a measure of working memory capacity (WMC) to control for its involvement in the rule selection process.ResultsParticipants exhibited a reduced preference for recently abandoned rules than less recently abandoned ones. Furthermore, we found that such a preference was not associated with WMC.DiscussionThe results suggest that decision-making processes underlying rule inference and selection may be influenced by task-set inhibition, configuring as a conflict adjustment mechanism to the sequential history of rules application.

Published: March 2024

IntroductionIn patients affected by atrial fibrillation (AF) disease-specific knowledge and coping style may be associated with psychosocial well-being. This study aimed to determine if coping style (problem-focused, emotion-focused, avoidance-focused) mediated the relationship between patient knowledge and three psychosocial outcomes (anxiety, depression and life satisfaction). MethodsIn 2021 a total of 188 women with reported AF, and ages ranging from 18 to 83 years (mean 48.7, sd 15.5 years), completed an online questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic, clinical and AF knowledge questions and psychosocial instruments (Anxiety and depression, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HADS) scale; life satisfaction, Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS); and coping style (Brief COPE). Using Jamovi statistical software three individual mediational models (for anxiety, depression and life satisfaction) were constructed assessing the direct and indirect relationships between knowledge, coping style and each psychosocial outcome. Age was a covariate in each model. ResultsThe mediation analyses demonstrated significant direct negative associations between AF knowledge and HADS anxiety and depression and positive associations with SWLS. There were also direct associations between each of the three coping styles and the three psychosocial outcomes. There were significant indirect effects of coping style between AF knowledge and each of the three outcomes confirming partial mediation effects.DiscussionThese findings highlight the crucial role of coping style in mediating the association between AF knowledge and psychosocial outcomes. As such, interventions aimed at increasing patient knowledge of AF may be more effective if adaptive problem-solving coping strategies are also demonstrated to these patients. Additionally, modification of maladaptive coping strategies as part of the psychological management of patients with AF is highly recommended.

BackgroundCancer is a significant public health issue, causing various challenges for individuals affected by it. As cancer progresses, patients often become dependent on others for support. Family caregivers and members play a crucial role in the recovery and rehabilitation of these patients. However, caregivers themselves face numerous challenges throughout the course of their family member’s illness. Exploring the experiences of family caregivers can inform long-term planning and supportive interventions to address their caregiving difficulties. This study reviews previous literature on caregiving outcomes.MethodThis study presents a narrative review of qualitative studies, analyzing a total of 23 articles. The results were extracted and organized into subcategories. After revision by the research team, main categories were identified. These categories encompass both positive and negative outcomes of caregiving.ResultsThe findings of this review demonstrate that caring for a family member with cancer has significant implications for caregivers. These implications include: (A) Positive outcomes of caregiving (such as achieving self-management and balance, promoting kinship intimacy, finding meaning and purpose, and experiencing spiritual growth) and (B) Negative outcomes of caregiving (including care-related physical exhaustion, disruption of personal life plans, psycho-emotional consequences, and socio-economic burden).ConclusionThe results of this study highlight the challenges faced by family caregivers and emphasize the importance of addressing their needs within the healthcare system. By providing support and attention to their well-being, caregivers can enhance their resilience and adaptability in managing caregiving difficulties.

Published: March 2024

IntroductionThere is evidence suggesting that Bisphenol A (BPA) is associated with increased all-cause mortality in adults. However, the specific nature of the relationship between BPA exposure and cancer mortality remains relatively unexplored.MethodsThe National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset was used to recruit participants. Urinary BPA was assessed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrum (LC–MS). Through the use of multivariable Cox proportional hazard regressions and constrained cubic splines, the relationships between urine BPA and death from all causes and cancer were investigated.ResultsThis study has a total of 8,035 participants, and 137 died from cancers after a 7.5-year follow-up. The median level of BPA was 2.0 g/mL. Urinary BPA levels were not independently associated with all-cause mortality. For cancer mortality, the second quartile’s multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio was 0.51 (95% confidence interval: 0.30 to 0.86; p = 0.011) compared to the lowest quartile. The restricted cubic splines showed that the association was nonlinear (p for nonlinearity = 0.028) and the inflection point was 1.99 ng/mL.ConclusionUrinary BPA exposure was U-shaped associated with the risk of cancer mortality, and a lower level of BPA less than 1.99 ng/mL was associated with a higher risk of cancer mortality.

Published: March 2024

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of the complications after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of intra-articular distal radius fracture (IADRF) with a minimum follow-up of 12 months.MethodsMedical records and outpatient follow-up records were retrospectively reviewed to collect medical, surgical, and complication data on consecutive patients who had undergone an ORIF procedure for an IADRF between January 2019 and June 2022. Data included demographics, comorbidities, injury, surgical characteristics, and laboratory findings on admission. A multivariate logistic regression model was constructed to identify the significant predictors, with a composite of any complications occurring within 12 months after the operation as the outcome variable and potentially a range of clinical data as the independent variables. The magnitude of the relationship was indicated by the odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsDuring the study period, 474 patients were included, and 64 had documented complications (n = 73), representing an accumulated rate of 13.5%. Among them, carpal tunnel syndrome was the most common, followed by tenosynovitis caused by tendon irritation/rupture, superficial or deep wound infection, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type 1, radial shortening (≥4 mm), plate/screw problems, and others. The multivariate results showed the following factors significantly associated with increased risk of complications: experience of DRF surgery with &lt;30 cases (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.6–3.5), AO type C fracture (OR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.2–2.9), initial lunate facet collapse of ≥5 mm (OR: 4.2, 95% CI: 1.4–8.9), and use of temporary external fixation before index surgery (OR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.5–4.3).ConclusionsThese findings may aid in patient counseling and quality improvement initiatives, and IADRF should be directed by an experienced surgeon.
PRINCIPLES OF LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL APPROACH IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRAINING OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS
Authors: Snihovska O. 
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the disclosure of the linguistic and cultural approach and conceptual apparatus, development in the system of sciences, and its problems. It has been found that using the theoretical foundations of linguistic and cultural studies and introducing them into the educational process, a linguistic and cultural approach has been formed in linguistic didactics.
The study of educational content has shown that the didactic essence of the linguistic and cultural approach consists of defining the goals, objectives, content, methods, and forms of its implementation. Based on the analysis of several concepts, the peculiarities of the cultural approach have been identified, and a classification and table of hierarchical dependence of the principles of the linguistic and cultural approach in the foreign language training of future specialists has been created.
It has been established that the linguistic and cultural approach provides higher education students with the opportunity to master the following skills: to show interest in aspects of another culture, lifestyle, and mentality; find cultural information and materials taking into account the characteristics of a specific group; compare the phenomena of one’s own and foreign cultures; explain differences and overlaps in linguistic intentions; develop effective strategies for intercultural communication; to reveal the interrelationships between different cultures; distinguish linguistic and regional information in authentic materials, comment and supplement it; understand the cultural conditioning of behavioral stereotypes and overcome prejudices; to semanticize non-equivalent vocabulary in a cultural context.
The author of the article also has attempted to reveal the meaning of the category “approach to learning” in the context of professional foreign language training of humanitarian specialists. Modern characteristics of this category of communication training are analyzed. The main principles of foreign language teaching in higher education institutions are considered.

Published: March 2024

The article defines the goal, which is the systematization of modern trends in occupational therapy specialist training (physical rehabilitation, physical therapy combined with human health, etc.), who can independently and consciously choose priority areas of activity, realize professional responsibility for the organization and results of their work, approach creatively to predict work results and plan strategies and technologies for their achievement, acquire and consolidate skills and abilities; develop and implement an individual rehabilitation plan in cooperation with other specialists in the multidisciplinary team and the patient; describe violations of the functioning of organs and systems of the human body; independently and creatively apply acquired knowledge, and carry out scientific, administrative and advisory activities.
These trends include: the usage of the latest technologies, such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, TV-rehabilitation, and others, to improve rehabilitation processes and ensure more effective and individualized treatment methods (technology integration); attention to the development of individualized rehabilitation programs that take into account the unique needs and characteristics of each preson (individualization of activities); establishment of cooperation of specialists in various fields (physiotherapists, psychologists, social workers, etc.) to create comprehensive rehabilitation programs (multidisciplinarity); focus on the development of effective methods of rehabilitation and optimization of resource costs to increase the availability of services (resource matching); providing specialists with modern knowledge and skills necessary for using the latest methods and technologies (pedagogical culture in general); growing attention to the inclusion of persons with disabilities in various spheres of social life, including education, work, and entertainment (strategies of inclusion); creation of programs and initiatives aimed at prevention and early detection of problems to avoid further complications (prevention and early intervention).
Modern specialists in human health, physical therapy, and occupational therapy are obliged to formulate modern ideas about a person as a bioenergetic being and the relationship of his health with nature and society by assimilating the worldview and methodological foundations of philosophical knowledge, based on knowledge of anatomy, physiology, valeology, using methods of vale-diagnostics and monitoring of physical development, plan professional and educational activities aimed at ensuring the physical development of the individual.

Published: March 2024

Triple bottom line focuses the company’s activities on three pillars, namely economic, social, and environmental. This study aims to explain the implementation of zakat in Indonesia as a stimulus function for the implementation of the triple bottom line in companies. Departing from the many problems in Indonesia the implementation of zakat in Indonesia has not been maximally carried out by companies based on the potential of existing companies. The method use in the research is qualitative descriptive with a literature study approach. The findings of this study state that the role of zakat as a triple-bottom-line stimulus can be carried out by starting with efforts ton increase profits through maximum zakat targets. Then proceed with the distribution of zakat in the form of productive zakat as the implementation of social awareness and environmental care. In the case, the role of zakat can function as the axis of the company’s triple bottom line implementation to the fullest.

Masques noirs, masques blancs : Les mascarades et le suicide collectif de Jonestown
Authors: Pozzi Enrico 
Published: March 2024

Black masks, white masks. Masquerades and the collective suicide of Jonestown, Guyana.
This paper deals with the elusive concept of “psychotic group” through the study of some group strategies of the People’s Temple, a large Californian sect which committed collective suicide in 1978 deep within the Guyana jungle. Both masks and masquerades played a relevant role in those strategies, which aimed at creating the psychodynamic conditions for the group’s self-annihilation. Persecutory racial sociodramas were performed by white members acting as blacks and black members acting as whites, within a group which pretended to be fiercely anti-racist but had established a markedly racist internal social system. The masquerades strived to integrate sociological and psychological trompe-V œils toward a climbing spiral of splittings and projections embedded in a frame of massive derealization and “fraternité-terreur”. The functions of separation and absence which inhere to the masks as symbols kept sapping the group myth of the “perfect group”, for they introduced individuation processes perceived as a threatening fragmentation of the “archigroupe” (Kaës). The more and more precarious restoration of the “archigroupe” asked for a more and more extreme cohesion, which longed for collective suicide as its terminal verification.
Mentalité de groupe et émotionnalité groupale
Authors: Avron Ophélia 
Published: March 2024

Reprise de la notion de mentalité de groupe, première notion dégagée par Bion, pour expliquer le fonctionnement dans les groupes, et en particulier l'aspect anonyme que prennent les émotions. A partir de là sont dégagés les concepts essentiels apportés par cette pensée originale.
En prolongement à la notion de mentalité de groupe je décris celle d’émotionnalité groupale pour expliquer la combinatoire anonyme des émotions naissantes : synchronisation rythmique instable des états tentionnels, suscités par la vie de groupe. Tentative enfin d’une articulation entre émotionnalité et pulsionnalité.
