Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
The monitoring of glucose plays an inevitable role in diabetes management. Over the years, technological leaps in diabetes management have contributed immensely to improving the quality of life of people with diabetes. Along with the multitude of benefits, these technologies provide, particularly glucose meters, the chances of compromises in the accuracy and precision of these devices also exist due to high competition among the manufacturers. Hence, it is essential, that both people with diabetes and healthcare professionals be aware of the accuracy and precision of glucose meters and whether they meet the accuracy standards recommended by international organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization and the Food and Drug Administration to avoid severe consequences.

Aim:
The study aims to evaluate and compare the accuracy, performance, and precision of five glucosemeters On Call Plus, Cool, One Touch, Contour Plus, and Accu-chek Instant in people without diabetes, with type1 diabetes, and with type 2 diabetes.

Result:
The results revealed that all the glucose meters chosen for the study showed reasonably satisfactory clinical accuracy and precision in people without and with type 2 diabetes. However, in the cohort with type 1 diabetes, the performance of the meters was only moderately satisfactory.

Conclusion:
The study brings into the limelight the importance of evaluating the accuracy and precision of glucose monitoring devices, irrespective of blindly believing the technology.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a highly prevalent disorder with a large treatment gap. Treatment of AUD is a challenging task for mental health practitioners, as there is no decisive marker for recovery, and abstinence rates are equivocal with and without treatment. A paucity of Indian studies determining the prognosis of AUD in armed forces led to the initiation of this study.

Aim:
To study the outcome of alcohol-dependence patients two years after treatment in uniformed forces.

Materials and Methods:
The study included 100 consecutive male inpatients with alcohol dependence admitted to the psychiatry ward of two hospitals for uniformed forces personnel. Relevant investigations were requisitioned for them, and records were maintained to facilitate easy follow-up at 6-month intervals over 2 years.

Results:
The majority of patients had begun consumption voluntarily to seek pleasure. The average daily intake was 71.36 g of alcohol. Most of them consumed alone. Ninety-three percent showed features of withdrawal after admission. The most common physical comorbidities were injuries and gastrointestinal disorders, while the most common psychiatric comorbid disorders were substance use disorders and depression. Upon follow-up, 42% maintained abstinence, which was either partial or absolute, 5% were rendered unfit to serve further, 42 were lost to follow-up, and 17% had eventually retired.

Conclusion:
Contrary to prevailing belief, the results of the present study indicate that 42% of patients with AUD improved with treatment.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic presented an unprecedented and dystopian situation for the entire population and had imminent mental health corollaries specific to different sociodemographic variables. Distress and fear related to COVID-19 and following reassurance-seeking behavior were prominent during the pandemic. However, even after the end of the acute phase, due to continued uncertainty about protection from COVID-19, psychological concerns surrounding COVID-19 persisted.

Aim:
To evaluate coronavirus-related psychological distress, fear, reassurance seeking, and their correlation with personality factors.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 727 individuals were taken from the community from May 2022 to October 2022 and were requested to fill out a Google Form online comprising basic sociodemographic details and the following scales: COVID-19-related psychological distress in healthy public (CORPD), Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), Coronavirus Reassurance-Seeking Behavior Scale, and Big Five Personality Inventory. The information was then charted, tabulated, and statistically analyzed.

Results:
The levels of COVID-19-related psychological distress and fear were comparable to the levels present during a pandemic. Psychological distress, fear, and reassurance-seeking were positively correlated with each other. Females were vulnerable to fear. Younger age was associated with reassurance seeking. Extraversion personality traits positively predicted fear about COVID-19, while conscientiousness and openness negatively predicted fear. Agreeableness positively predicted reassurance-seeking behavior.

Conclusion:
Even after the declaration of the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and the return to the regular daily routine, people have COVID-19-related distress and fear in their minds. This indicates the need for continuation of mental health programs addressing these psychological issues related to COVID-19.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
Workplace violence (WPV) among healthcare workers (HCWs) poses a significant burden globally. Various studies have estimated the prevalence and characteristics of WPV, but few have assessed the impact in terms of the mental health of HCWs in the aftermath.

Aim:
To study the prevalence of WPV and its psychological impact on HCWs. In addition, we aimed to suggest strategies that can be implemented to prevent the overpowering burden of WPV.

Materials and Methods:
We used a standardized questionnaire developed by the International Labor Office to assess WPV, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) to assess psychological distress, and a self-reported sleep quality scoring.

Results:
The study included 268 participants among which 43.7% reported having experienced WPV in the last 12 months, with 42.5% reporting verbal violence and 3.4% reporting physical violence incidents. Working in emergency services showed a significant association with experiencing verbal violence. There is also an underreporting of incidents of WPV. Among the psychological parameters, distress is significantly higher for both verbal and physical violence, and participants who faced physical violence had significantly lower sleep quality. Prevention strategies including adequate patient counseling, better communication, improved security, and stricter laws can be implemented to reduce violence.

Conclusion:
WPV in healthcare is very common in India with not only high prevalence rates but also a significant psychological burden. There is a need to develop better laws and implement policies to ensure a safe and healthy workplace for HCWs.
Effect on Neonatal Acid–Base Status of Phenylephrine and Norepinephrine Boluses for Management of Spinal Anesthesia-Induced Hypotension in Patients with Preeclampsia Undergoing Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized, Double-Blinded Trial
Authors: Sen Trina , Saha Prerona , Kalita Pranab , Saikia Priyam , Mahanta Bandana 
Published: February 2025

Purpose:
Phenylephrine (PE) is the vasopressor of choice for spinal induced hypotension. In recent studies, norepinephrine (NE) has been used to manage hypotension following spinal anesthesia. However, its effect on neonatal acid–base status in preeclamptic mothers has not been well established. The aim of this study is to compare the neonatal acid–base outcomes of bolus doses of PE versus NE for the prevention of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in nonlaboring preeclamptic patients undergoing cesarean section.

Methods:
A randomized, double-blind study was conducted on 50 nonlaboring patients diagnosed with preeclampsia posted for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Patients were randomized to receive bolus doses of either PE or NE following hypotension. Neonatal umbilical artery blood gas analysis and maternal hemodynamics were compared. All the statistical tests were two sided and performed at a significance level of 0.05.

Results:
The study did not reveal any difference in the primary outcome of umbilical artery pH when using PE or NE in patients with preeclampsia (P 0.90). The secondary outcomes were also comparable.

Conclusion:
Our study shows that PE and NE are comparable in terms of fetal umbilical artery blood pH in nonlaboring preeclamptic patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
The imprimitivity Fell bundle
Authors: Duwenig Anna 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Given a full right-Hilbert

$\mathrm {C}^{*}$

-module

$\mathbf {X}$

over a

$\mathrm {C}^{*}$

-algebra A, the set

$\mathbb {K}_{A}(\mathbf {X})$

of A-compact operators on

$\mathbf {X}$

is the (up to isomorphism) unique

$\mathrm {C}^{*}$

-algebra that is strongly Morita equivalent to the coefficient algebra A via

$\mathbf {X}$

. As a bimodule,

$\mathbb {K}_{A}(\mathbf {X})$

can also be thought of as the balanced tensor product

$\mathbf {X}\otimes _{A} \mathbf {X}^{\mathrm {op}}$

, and so the latter naturally becomes a

$\mathrm {C}^{*}$

-algebra. We generalize both of these facts to the world of Fell bundles over groupoids: Suppose

$\mathscr {B}$

is a Fell bundle over a groupoid

$\mathcal {H}$

and

$\mathscr {M}$

is an upper semi-continuous Banach bundle over a principal

$\mathcal {H}$

-space X. If

$\mathscr {M}$

carries a right-action of

$\mathscr {B}$

and a sufficiently nice

$\mathscr {B}$

-valued inner product, then its imprimitivity Fell bundle

$\mathbb {K}_{\mathscr {B}}(\mathscr {M})=\mathscr {M}\otimes _{\mathscr {B}} \mathscr {M}^{\mathrm {op}}$

is a Fell bundle over the imprimitivity groupoid of X, and it is the unique Fell bundle that is equivalent to

$\mathscr {B}$

via

$\mathscr {M}$

. We show that

$\mathbb {K}_{\mathscr {B}}(\mathscr {M})$

generalizes the “higher order” compact operators of Abadie–Ferraro in the case of saturated bundles over groups, and that the theorem recovers results such as Kumjian’s Stabilization trick.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Dust weather in North China (NC; 34–42° N, 105–120° E) has worsened in recent years, posing adverse impacts on the environment, human health, and the economy. A super dust storm that occurred on 15 March 2021 raised Beijing's PM10 (particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 µm) concentrations above 7000 µg m−3, while 2023 witnessed the highest spring dust weather frequency in nearly a decade. Previous research has primarily focused on the role of the Mongolian cyclone in influencing dust weather in NC, with less attention given to other synoptic systems. Additionally, the differences in PM10 concentrations in NC caused by different synoptic systems have not yet been quantified. This study demonstrates that the Mongolian cyclone was responsible for 61.7 % of the dust weather in NC, while the remaining 38.3 % was primarily caused by the cold high. The dust intensity induced by the Mongolian cyclone was stronger than that of the cold high, with average maximum PM10 concentrations of 3076 and 2391 µg m−3, respectively. The three-dimensional structure of atmospheric circulation anomalies and related dynamic mechanisms of the two types were concluded. To comprehensively forecast the two types of dust weather, a common predictor was constructed based on the 500 hPa cyclonic anomaly and anticyclonic anomaly circulation systems. These findings contribute to enhancing the comprehension of dust weather in NC and offer insights for both dust weather forecasting and climate prediction.

Authors: Machay Mariana Cardoso , Costa Graça Juliana Mello Monaris 
Published: February 2025

Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão comparada sobre a formação do professor de língua adicional na infância. Dentre as principais discussões acerca da formação docente está a pergunta sobre a que profissional compete esse ensino. A partir da análise de sua trajetória de formação profissional, duas docentes da área com formações iniciais distintas em pedagogia e letras, refletem sobre as implicações dessa formação na prática docente. A metodologia de pesquisa deste estudo é qualitativa de abordagem autoetnográfica e colaborativa. O presente artigo visa contribuir para ampliar a discussão sobre as especificidades do ensino de línguas na infância e a formação docente para atuar nesse ensino. Conclui-se que a formação “ideal” seria a junção dos dois cursos de graduação: Letras e Pedagogia. Sendo assim, a busca por formação continuada constitui-se como algo imprescindível para o preenchimento das lacunas inerentes a ambos os cursos de graduação. Através da reflexão crítica sobre a prática é possível modificar e ampliar os saberes teóricos.
