Abstract

Background Perianal abscess management varies between the French and Anglo-Saxon schools, with the former advocating immediate fistula treatment to prevent recurrence, while the latter suggests simple incision due to a purported low recurrence rate. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and predictive factors associated with perianal abscess management in our department.
Methods In 2019, 109 patients presenting with a first perianal abscess were included in the study, excluding those with specific criteria. Treatment involved incision under local anesthesia, possibly combined with antibiotic therapy using amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for five days. Patients with obvious signs of fistula were scheduled for immediate surgery. The primary objective was to assess the rate of patients requiring surgical management of fistula and/or experiencing abscess recurrence, with secondary objectives including the identification of predictive factors.
Results Among the 336 patients who consulted for an abscess, 109 were included, with a mean age of 43 years and 74% being men. Of these, 55 underwent incision alone, while 54 had anal fistula surgery after incision. The mean follow-up for patients with incision alone was approximately 30 months, during which 18% experienced abscess recurrence. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed smoking and absence of antibiotic therapy post-incision as predictive of recurrence. Gender, age, BMI, diabetes, Crohn's disease, HIV infection, prior NSAID use, and abscess location were not predictive. Multivariate analysis was not conducted due to insufficient data.
Conclusions This study demonstrates that 41% of patients who underwent incision for a first perianal abscess did not experience recurrence during the follow-up period. Additionally, the administration of antibiotic therapy post-incision was associated with a reduced likelihood of recurrence. However, randomized trials are warranted to validate these findings and specify the optimal antibiotic regimen.

Authors: Bao Yuangen 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Teacher innovation is an essential requirement for the education system to adapt to the evolving demands of contemporary society. Although previous studies have confirmed the positive impact of inclusive leadership on employees'innovative behavior, the underlying mechanism of this effect remains incomplete. Therefore, drawing upon the social cognitive theory, this study aims to comprehensively examine the mediating effects of teachers' psychological empowerment and school innovation climate on the relationship between inclusive leadership and innovative behavior among primary and junior teachers. A total of 358 valid questionnaires were administered to primary and junior teachers in mainland China using a convenience sampling approach. The data was analyzed using two-level hierarchical linear modeling and bootstrap testing. The results indicate that principal inclusive leadership significantly accounts for the variance in teacher innovative behavior. Furthermore, teachers' psychological empowerment and school innovation climate serve as mediating mechanisms, with the former playing a pivotal role. The findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying inclusive leadership's influence on employees' innovative behavior, thereby facilitating the cultivation innovative teacher.

Abstract

Objective To assess the level of knowledge and awareness of type 2 diabetes among undergraduate students, a study was conducted. The study aimed to examine the influence of demographic and lifestyle variables on students' understanding of this condition. Design: A group of 217 students from the Syrian Private University participated in this study by completing questionnaires designed to evaluate their knowledge and awareness regarding specific facets of type 2 diabetes. These facets encompassed areas such as the recognition of symptoms, understanding of treatment options, and awareness of potential complications associated with this disease. Results The study findings revealed that there was a greater level of knowledge and awareness among the participants regarding diabetes treatment compared to their understanding of diabetes symptoms and complications. Moreover, females exhibited a higher level of knowledge and awareness in comparison to males. Notably, significant differences in knowledge and awareness were observed among students based on their field of study, while the number of years of study in the university did not have a significant impact. Additionally, students who engaged in regular physical exercise demonstrated a higher level of overall knowledge and awareness pertaining to type 2 diabetes. Finally, participants with a family history of diabetes exhibited a greater degree of knowledge and awareness regarding type 2 diabetes. Conclusion The findings of the study suggest that there is a need for educational interventions focused on type 2 diabetes to enhance individuals' awareness of the condition and encourage them to adopt preventive measures. The observed variations in diabetes knowledge and awareness among participants based on their field of study highlight the potential impact of education in raising awareness levels.

Introduction. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a multifactorial and widespread problem of modern medicine, which has not only medical but also social significance. The presence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men has a negative impact on the quality of life. One of the modern surgical methods for treating BPH is the use of laser technologies.Objective. To compare the effectiveness and safety of laser technologies using the example of the use of diode and thulium lasers in BPH surgery.Materials & methods. The study included 89 men with BPH who underwent surgery from 2020 to 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: in group 1 (n = 37) photoselective vaporization of the prostate was performed using a Diode Laser Vaporization of the Prostate (DiVAP), in group 2 (n = 52) - Thulium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (ThuLEP). To assess the results of treatment, we studied indicators of maximum urine flow, residual urine volume, prostate volume, prostate-specific antigen level, severity of LUTS (IPSS scale) and symptoms of erectile dysfunction (IIEF-5 scale), level of quality of life (QoL index) and the frequency of postoperative complications. The outcomes were assessed at baseline and 3, 6, 12 months after the procedure. The duration of the operation, the duration of catheterization and the length of stay of patients in the hospital were also recorded.Results. At a long-term follow-up (12 months), the effectiveness of DiVAP and ThuLEP was comparable in terms of prostate volume (24.0 and 24.3 cm3), PSA level (3.3 and 3.4 ng/ml) and quality of life of patients related to urination (2.3 and 2.0 points). The severity of LUTS one year after treatment was also comparable in the groups (4.1 and 4.6 points), however, the IPSS scale scores was more favorable in the ThuLEP group at three- and six-month follow-up points (3 months: 14.9 and 10.0 points; 6 months: 9.3 and 7.5 points). At the same time, ThuLEP also turned out to be more effective in the rate of maximum urine flow achieved after a year (15.2 and 25.8 ml/s), the residual urine volume (8.2 and 2.2 ml), and IIEF-5 questionnaire score (22, 4 and 24.4 points), DiVAP - by operation time (58.5 and 84.6 minutes) and catheterization duration (26.8 and 32.5 hours). There were no statistically significant differences in the duration of hospitalization (2.2 and 2.1 days). Postoperative complications are recorded 2 times more often with DiVAP than after ThuLEP.Conclusions. The study confirmed the high efficiency of endoscopic laser enucleation (ThuLEP) and laser vaporization (DiVAP) technologies. The safety of ThuLEP is due to the lower incidence of postoperative complications compared to DiVAP. The success of laser operations directly depends on careful selection of patients, as well as the experience of the surgeon.

Introduction. Implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the main treatment method for patients with intrinsic sphincteric deficiency. There are few studies investigating the effectiveness, safety, and impact on the quality of life of the AUS implantation beyond a ten-year follow-up.Objective. To evaluate the outcomes of the AUS implantation in terms of safety, efficacy, and impact on quality of life in a group of patients beyond a ten-year follow-up.Materials & methods. From 2004 to 2023, AUS were implanted in 62 patients with severe stress urinary incontinence, of whom 14 had a follow-up period of more than 10 years. Urine loss is estimated using bladder diary. The use of ≤1 pad per day (“social continence”) was considered as cure. The quality of life was assessed using the IPSS-QoL scale and the ICIQ-UI SF questionnaire. Complications are described according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.Results. The median age of the patient at the time of implantation was 66 [63; 68] years. The causes of severe stress urinary incontinence were the following interventions: radical prostatectomy — 11 patients, radical cystectomy — two patients, transurethral resection of the prostate — one patient. The median time after the intervention that caused urinary incontinence was 20 [15; 26] months. The effectiveness of implantation was evaluated in 11 patients, three patients had complications preventing the use of the AUS. Median follow-up was 137 [124; 160] months. There was a statistically significant decrease in the median urine loss from 700,0 [600; 800] to 12,5 [1; 60] ml. There was also a significant reduction in the use of pads per day from 7 [7; 8] to 1 [0; 2]. Five patients did not use pads. Seven patients met the criterion of cure. Median IPSS-QoL scores decreased from 4 [4; 5] to 2 [1; 2]. After treatment, the score of the ICIQ-UI SF questionnaire was 8 [6; 10]. Complications superior to Clavien-Dindo II were noted in 8 of 14 patients. Eight patients underwent 15 revisions, six of them repeated. The AUS was partially or completely removed in six patients.Conclusions. Over a ten-year follow-up period, a significant number of patients developed complications, including those requiring removal or replacement of the AUS or its components, and therefore patients with an AUS require regular long-term follow-up. Despite a significant proportion of patients who required an AUS revision, implantation leads to a statistically significant reduction in urine loss and an improvement in the quality of life.

Authors: Afandi Nail Hidaya 
Published: March 2024

This research aims to find out the form of the ego failure to actualize superego in people that experienced quarter-life crisis. No researcher has yet tried to reveal the cause of the emergence of quarter-life crisis reactions judging by the failure of individuals to fulfil the superego's drive for early adult tasks. The results showed that from 27 previous research results concluded that quarter-life crisis arises because the ego in early adulthood fails to fulfil the superego of tasks in early adulthood, which if successfully fulfilled does not give rise to quarter-life crisis reactions as bad feelings or conditions. To avoid unpleasant feelings, people have to push the id as Freud explained and try to realize the superego based on logical dan realistic considerations from the ego.
