IntroductionThe present study aimed to translate and validate Children's Emotion Management Scales into Urdu, the national language of Pakistan.MethodThe current study comprised three different phases, i.e., phase I: Cross-language validation over a sample of (N = 169) school children, estimated at a 1-week interval.ResultsThe results indicate a significant correlation (r = 0.846–0.891) at p &lt; 0.01. In phase II, the internal consistency reliability (r = 0.808–0.904) and split-half reliability (r = 0.737–0.898) of the scale were assessed (N = 683) at p &lt; 0.01. Furthermore, significant results for test-retest reliability analysis (N = 168) were obtained (r = 0.736–0.917 at p &lt; 0.01), following the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (N = 1,083). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted on the same sample chosen for CFA. EFA resulted in the retention of original inhibition (INH), dysregulated expression (DYS), and emotional coping (EMO) factors. CFA findings suggest a good model fit. In phase III, convergent validity and divergent validity were checked (N = 385, 255, and 213). Convergent validity of INH and DYS subscales and divergent validity of EMO subscales were established, with SBI (r = 0.217–0.609; 0.210–0.445; −0.026 to −0.553), SHS (r = 0.417–0.441; 0.480–0.546; −0.338 to −0.582), and suppression subscale of ERQ (r = 0.430–0.480; 0.468–0.522; −0.245 to −0.369) at p &lt; 0.01. For divergent validity of INH and DYS subscales and convergent validity of EMO subscales, their scores were correlated with the SPS (r = −0.204 to −0.350; −0.318 to −0.459; 0.191–0.531), RSE Scale (r = −0.226 to −0.351; −0.279 to −0.352; 0.255–0.507), DTS (−0.290 to −0.617; −0.369 to −0.456; 0.246–0.680), and reappraisal subscale of ERQ (r = −0.456 to −0.541; −0.329 to −0.544; 0.446–0.601) at p &lt; 0.01.DiscussionIt is concluded that the scale is reliable and valid with sound psychometric properties.

Published: March 2024

BackgroundThe association of caesarean section (CS) for postpartum depression (PPD) remains controversial. This study aims to explore the relationship between CS and the risk of PPD, in order to provide a basis for preventing PPD.Material and methodsWe searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases for literature about the correlation between CS and PPD published as of February 2024. The combined odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (Cls) were obtained by flexible use of fixed-effects models or random-effects models.ResultsA total of 18 publications were ultimately included in the analysis. Among these, 14 were cohort studies and 4 were case-control reports, encompassing 844,328 total cases. All of the included studies were deemed to be of moderate or higher quality. The meta-analysis indicated that the prevalence of PPD among parturients undergoing CS was 13.4% (95% CI: 6.5%-25.5%).The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for the association between CS and PPD was 1.12 (95% CI: 1.04-1.20) compared to the natural vaginal delivery (NVD) group. Specifically, the adjusted OR for the association between CS and PPD was 1.29 (95% CI: 1.18-1.40) during the first 1-6 months postpartum, and 1.23 (95% CI: 1.14-1.33) after 6 months postpartum. Furthermore, in comparison to the NVD group, the adjusted OR for elective caesarean section (ELCS) and emergency caesarean section (EMCS) were 0.96 (0.83, 1.10) and 1.20 (1.08, 1.34), respectively.ConclusionOur findings suggest that PPD risk may rise in the presence of CS. In particular, the risk was increased by 20% in the EMCS group, and the risk of PPD within one to six months postpartum after CS increases by 6% compared to that at six months postpartum. In the future, more rational designs and in-depth studies are needed to obtain more accurate information.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/#recordDetails, identifier CRD42023389265.

IntroductionAfrican swine fever (ASF) is an important disease of pigs in sub-Saharan Africa and Uganda and is threatening the pig population and agricultural economy of other continents. ASF virus (ASFV) can be transmitted from wild suids to domestic pigs through soft ticks of the Ornithodoros species. The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between domestic pigs’ O. moubata tick exposure and ASFV status.MethodsPigs were sampled from six abattoirs in the Kampala metropolitan area of Uganda from May 2021 through June 2022. Blood, serum, and tissue samples were collected. Serum was tested for antibodies against the rtTSGP1 salivary antigens of O. moubata ticks using an indirect ELISA assay. Blood and tissue samples from pigs were tested to detect ASFV using qPCR. Probability of tick exposure was categorized based on sample-to-positive ratio cut-off points.ResultsOut of 1,328 serum samples tested, there were 828 (62.3%) samples with a negligible probability; 369 (27.8%) with a medium probability; 90 (6.8%) with a high probability, and 41 (3.1%) with a very high probability of exposure to the O. moubata salivary antigen. There was a statistically significant association between the pigs’ O. moubata exposure and ASFV status with a higher proportion of pigs having a very high probability of infection if they were ASFV positive by blood, tonsil, and lymph nodes.DiscussionThese results suggested that tick exposure was associated with ASFV transmission in Uganda. There were ASFV qPCR positive pigs that had no O. moubata exposure as well, which highlights that pig-to-pig and indirect contact transmission still play a significant role. This work highlights the need for further work in Uganda to investigate these transmission factors related to the O. moubata tick and ASFV transmission.
Psychological study of siblings subsystems – methodological considerations
Authors: Walęcka-Matyja Katarzyna Kamila 
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The analysis of the literature devoted to scientific considerations on the relational aspect of the functioning of siblings, especially those who are in adulthood, allows us to draw the conclusion that they are relatively rarely undertaken by researchers. It is noticed that nowadays there is an increase in interest in this issue. The aims of the work were to consider some of the limitations occurring in the process of conducting psychological research on the sibling subsystem and to present tools for psychological measurement of the quality and dimension of the interpersonal relationship between siblings.
Method: The method of content analysis of publications in this field was used and a comparative analysis of issues undertaken in the context of psychological research on the relational aspects of the functioning of siblings was carried out.
Results: Five self-report questionnaire tools that were developed in 2014-2017 were presented along with their psychometric properties: Adult Sibling Relationships Questionnaire, Adult Sibling Family Relations Scale, STQ - Now, STQ – Then and Relationships Questionnaire with Siblings.
Conclusions: The specificity of research on interpersonal relationships in the sibling subsystem is related to methodological awareness of the high complexity of the family environment and knowledge of the uniqueness of sibling relationships. The researcher's consideration of both issues creates space for searching for new methodological solutions.

Connective tissue diseases constitute a group of inflammatory disorders that can concurrently affect multiple organs. Pulmonary manifestations of connective tissue diseases include interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, pleural diseases, and airway compromise. Both interstitial lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension have high morbidity and mortality in these patients. Interstitial lung disease affects 40 % - 50 % of patients with connective tissue diseases, predominantly systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory myopathies. Parenchymal compromise is heterogeneous and depends on the underlying disease. Conversely, pulmonary arterial hypertension is found mostly in systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue disease. Delays and the diagnosis of connective tissue disorder associated interstitial lung disease are frequent as evidence is limited and as they often present concomitantly or overlap with other pulmonary diseases. Timely diagnosis and treatment are fundamental to decrease mortality. Treatment varies by the type of connective tissue disease, nevertheless, evidence of these complications in the context of multiple-autoimmune syndrome is still limited.
We present a complex case of a 47-year-old male with a multiple-autoimmune syndrome (systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, Sjögren syndrome and mixed connective tissue disease) complicated by interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension, and occurring concurrently with silicosis (Erasmus syndrome), and pulmonary embolism. This case shows the diverse manifestations of connective tissue of the lungs, emphasizes the intricate nature of diagnosing and managing connective tissue disorder-related pulmonary complications in the context of multiple autoimmune syndromes, and the importance of a multidisciplinary team for the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of the patient.

Introduction: Low bone mass is encountered in patients with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) as a serious long-term complication of this pediatric condition and may be associated with fractures and its complications.
The present study aimed to evaluate the frequency of low bone mineral density (BMD) and fragility fractures in patients with JIA in its polyarticular or oligo articular forms. Secondary, our aim was to identify factors associated with low bone mass.
Patients and methods: This is a retrospective study conducted on 26 patients with JIA meeting the ILAR criteria for poly or oligoarticular form. Patients were divided into two groups according to their age : group1 including patients aged over 16 years-old and group 2 including patients aged under 16 years-old. Sociodemographic, clinical, biological and functional data were collected by consulting patient’s medical records. Bone mineral density was measured at three different sites: whole body, lumbar spine and hip using the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) equipment. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 11.5 software.
Results: Twenty-six JIA patients including 20 females (74.1%) and six males (22.2%) were enrolled with a mean disease duration of 20.23 years [2-54 years]. The mean age was 28.2 years [7-58 years]. The distribution of JIA subtypes among patients was as follows: 6 with oligo articular JIA and 20 with polyarticular JIA. Sixteen patients (59%) practiced regular physical activity. In our series, the frequency of low bone mineral density was 41% in children with JIA and 68 % in adults with JIA. Only two patients presented a fragility fracture in adulthood represented by a hip fracture following low-energy trauma and treated surgically in both cases. No patient received an anti-osteoporotic treatment. In-group 1, there was a significant correlation between low bone mass and weight (p=0.020), BMI (p=0.028), disease duration (p=0.045), positivity of AAN (p=0.050), disease activity (p=0.019), oral corticosteroid (p=0.034) and biologic treatment (p=0.043). In-group 2, a statistically significant correlation was found between low bone mass and age at the time of JIA diagnosis (p=0.041), weight (p=0.03), physical activity (p=0.05), disease duration (p=0.021), functional impact of the disease assessed by the HAQ score (p=0.018), oral corticosteroid therapy (p=0.014) and biological therapy (p=0.012).
Conclusion: our study showed that a combination of factors contributed to compromise bone health in patients with JIA. Fragility fractures were rare and occurring mainly in adulthood. An adequate control of disease activity, proper management of treatment, adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, as well as regular physical activity, may contribute to preserve bone health in those patients.

Published: March 2024

The long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection (or the so-called post - COVID - 19 syndrome) have a lasting physical, psycho-social and socio-iconic impact on survivors and their relatives and especially among some specific work groups (e.g. health workers). Concomittant chronic diseases (obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and respiratory disorders) also affect patients' ability to work and their return to work. Globally, between 30% and 50% of those infected with COVID-19 experience long-term symptoms of COVID (long Covid, LC), with over 85% of patients of working age. Various author collectives report that symptoms of long-term COVID (a total of 203 of which the most frequent are dyspnea on exertion and at rest, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, asthenia, arthralgias and myalgias, sleep disorders, cough), which can last up to 9 and more months after an infection, hinder and delay the return to work (RTW), reduce the patients' ability to work, force them to return to work with restrictions (reduced working hours, changed duties at the workplace, etc.), to change their job or lose it. Returning to work after a post-critical illness is often delayed or does not occur at all, causing an impact on the overall quality of life among survivors and their families (the so-called "family syndrome"). Some patients (especially those who have had severe COVID or have been hospitalized in an intensive care unit) are forced to take periodic sick leave and delay their return to work for at least 5 weeks from the onset of symptoms of COVID-19, such as the main cause is fatigue or weakness. Social functioning was assessed as impaired, as up to 90% of survivors did not reach their functional level 6 months after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. Differences in return to work are based on mean age of patients (better outcomes are seen in younger patients), country (presenteeism is common in China, where the best RTW outcomes have been reported) and social policy (not all US employees are entitled to paid sick leave). A large proportion of patients (up to 64.4%) reported moderate to severe financial difficulties and an inability to cover the costs of research or treatment. Some authors recommend specific rehabilitation for patients after acute COVID-19 to restore physical and neuropsychological performance and to improve performance. Patients have better outcomes following an integrative health approach that combines traditional medical treatment, non-pharmacological treatments including physical therapy, and behavioral and lifestyle changes.

Abstrak
Latar Belakang : Menurut World Health Organization (WHO) sekitar 90% populasi dewasa di dunia setidaknya pernah mengalami satu kali nyeri kepala dalam satu tahun. Secara global, diperkirakan prevalensi nyeri kepala pada orang dewasa adalah sekitar 50-75% dengan rentang usia 18-65 tahun. Salah satu faktor resiko nyeri kepala adalah gangguan tidur. Frekuensi, intensitas dan onset nyeri kepala memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan kejadian gangguan tidur, termasuk mimpi buruk, sulit untuk tertidur, terbangun terlalu pagi dan kualitas tidur yang buruk yang di sebabkan oleh perubahan neurotransmiter seperti serotonin dan melatonin yang menyebabkan gangguan pada irama sirkadian. Kelompok Mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran relatif rawan memiliki kualitas tidur yang buruk. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh tingginya durasi dan intensitas belajar, pengerjaan tugas yang memerlukan tenaga dan konstentrasi ekstra.
Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan kualitas tidur dengan kejadian nyeri kepala primer pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Nusa Cendana tahun 2020.
Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitikal observasional dengan rancangan cross sectional yang dilakukan pada mahasiswa preklinik Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Nusa Cendana dengan cara pengisian kuesioner Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) dan kuisioner Nyeri kepala primer.
