Published: October 2023

Recently, the world has been confronted with unprecedented global pandemic which has resulted in many deaths, fears, shocks and effects on people’s livelihood. In Nigeria, the measures taken to curtail the spread of the Covid-19 during the lockdown affected means of livelihoods undertaken by people. This study measured the effects of Covid19 pandemic on the livelihood of farmers and business owners of Iwo inhabitants in Osun State. The study also examined the challenges posed by the pandemic and assessed the effects of government's strategies implemented for the disease control on the livelihoods of the farmers and business owners. A total number of 200 well-structured questionnaires were administered to the respondents in the study area using snowball sampling technique. The questionnaires were all returned amounting to 100% response rate. Data was analysed using descriptive method with the aid of SPSS. Findings revealed that Covid-19 negatively affected the lives of people, ranging from suspension of businesses and other daily activities that requires physical contacts, travel ban effects on business, inflation in price of goods and services, suspension of farming activities, increased cost of labour and agrochemicals amongst others. It was observed that diversification into other business interest is among the reasons why some of the respondents survived during the Pandemic. The study recommends that measures taken to curtail the effects of Covid19 through vaccination be adhered to for prevention of cases that may warrant further shutdown of activities which may hamper livelihoods engagement.

Published: October 2023

Rangelands contribute at least 30% of terrestrial net primary productivity, making them an important part of natural ecosystems despite low and unpredictable rainfall regimes. Rangelands are sensitive to anthropogenic activities, making management interventions key to maintaining forage quality and quantity for wildlife. This study explored the effects of mowing of grasslands and carrying away (MO), prescribed grazing (PG), and unprescribed grazing (UG) on above-ground biomass, basal gaps, and wildlife abundance at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Meru, Kenya. Data collection was done 18 months after treatment for PG and MO, while UG was continuous. Treated blocks were selected in a systematic and random way, while adjacent untreated plots acted as controls. Blocks were divided into 100 m × 100 m grid cells using ArcMap 10.8.1, where sampling plots were drawn. T-statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were used to test statistical significance. We found a significant reduction in the aboveground biomass between MO and its control (t = 4.886, p = 0.003) and between UG and its control (t =5.487, p = 0.007). No significant change was observed between PG and its control (t = 1.192, p = 0.287). MO increased wildlife abundance (t = -4.670, p = 0.003), while PG (t = 0.589, p = 0.583) and UG (t = -0.262, p = 0.803) showed no difference compared to their controls. The mean length of basal gaps between MO and its control decreased (t = 7.069, p = 0.001), while those between UG and its control increased (t = -4.053, p = 0.001), with no effect observed between PG and its control (t = 1.882, p = 0.061). This study recommends the use of mowing of grasslands and carrying away on rangelands as it positively influence the metrics under investigation.

INTRODUCTION: Firefighting is a demanding profession that requires physical strength, mental fortitude, and unwavering dedication. While firefighters are known for their bravery and heroism, it is essential to recognize the potential impact of their work on their mental health. This study examined the prevalence of anxiety and depression and contributing factors among firefighter in Turkey.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 250 full-time professional firefighters, and used the Beck anxiety inventory and the Beck depression inventory forms for data collection. The chi-square analysis method was used to compare categorical data. Predictors of anxiety and depression were determined using a univariate binary logistic regression model.
RESULTS: The mean age, BAI score and BDI score of the participants were 43.7±11.4, 5.9±8.1, and 6.2±8.8, respectively. The prevalence of anxiety and depression were 10.8%, and 9.6%, respectively. The prevalence of anxiety (p=0.007) and depression (p=0.008) among participants with chronic diseases was higher than among participants without chronic diseases. The identified predictors of anxiety were smoking (OR 4.873, 95% CI 1.293-18.419, p=0.019) and depression (OR 11.411, 95% CI 3.861-33.772, p=0.001). The identified predictors of depression were alcohol consumption (OR 2.722, 95% CI 1.072-6.872, p=0.034) and chronic disease (OR 2.582, 95% CI 1.031-6.532, p=0.044).
CONCLUSION: The findings revealed that anxiety and depression as very common psychiatric problems among firefighters, more prevalent among those working in the city center, smokers, alcohol consumers, verbal violence victims, and those with chronic diseases

INTRODUCTION: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at high risk of acquiring hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection through occupational exposure to blood or body fluids. However, the rates of non- responders after HBV vaccination among HCWs are not well documented. Therefore, we aimed to determine the proportion of immunological non-responders among HCWs who received Hepatitis B vaccine at Rwanda Military Hospital (RMH) and characterize the memory T cell responses to the Hepatitis B vaccine.
METHODS: A cross sectional study was conducted at the RMH. HBV vaccinated HCWs were evaluated for immune response by measuring serum Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) titers and levels of HB core antibodies (HBcAb) on COBAS e411 machine, 6 years post vaccination.RESULTS: Initially 87 employees were included in the study. Four participants were excluded due to incomplete records. 52 (62.7%) participants were female and 31 (37.3%) were male. HWCs’ age ranged between 23 and 66 years with a mean (±SD) age of 38.2 ± 7.3. Of 83 HCWs, 70 (84.3%)showed response to HBV vaccine, non-responders were 11 (13.3%) and 2 (2.4%) showed immunity due to natural infection. There was no significant difference in Th cell frequencies and function between responders and non-responders after stimulation with rHBsAg vaccine.
CONCLUSION: Immunological response six years post HBsAg vaccination was 84.3% in HCWs at RMH and similar to the global prevalence. Anti-HBs levels should be tested in all HCWs following HBsAg vaccination. Personal protective equipment, and a dose of Hepatitis B prophylaxis when exposed should be emphasized.

Abstract

One form of pharmaceutical service is drug information service (PIO). In addition to being a professional obligation, PIO can also be used to determine the level of patient satisfaction. In addition, drug information services can also be used as promotional media to patients about who is a pharmacist. The design of this study is descriptive with a non-probability sampling method through a cross-sectional approach, which means that samples must meet the inclusion criteria until the total sample reaches 95 samples. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the participation of pharmaceutical personnel in drug information services with the level of satisfaction, with a P value of 0.006 and an OR value of 13.5, and there was a significant relationship between the participation of pharmaceutical personnel in drug information services with a level of patient knowledge with a P value of 0.001 and an OR value of 14.4 from these results it is expected that the clinic can increase the number of human resources in one installation pharmacy.

Improving the effectiveness of SUD treatment through a national registry
Authors: Conti Joanna L. , Bosco-Ruggiero Stephanie A. , Hochheimer Martin , Doub Thomas W. , Salsberg Jamie , Daniels-Sommers Staci 
Published: October 2023

Context: Recent research into the effectiveness of abstinence-based substance use disorder (SUD) treatment indicates that there has not been a substantial improvement since the Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Study research in 1993. Research into medication-supported treatments for SUD are hindered by a dearth of real-world longitudinal outcome studies. Patient registries have dramatically improved survival rates in many diseases by providing researchers with longitudinal data on a broad spectrum of patients undergoing a variety of treatments.
Policy prescription: We recommend the creation of a national registry for patients receiving treatment for SUD akin to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program established in 1971 to track cancer patient outcomes. One option would be to expand the data currently being collected in the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) to include all nonpublicly funded treatment and to allow for longitudinal tracking of deidentified individuals. Information on medication use and deaths could be kept up to date through integrations with state-wide death registries and Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs. The TEDS dataset already undergoes extensive data deidentification to make sure individuals cannot be identified prior to releasing the admissions and discharge datasets to researchers. Once longitudinal tracking is available, even more stringent deidentification will be necessary, and access to the dataset would be restricted to public health researchers.
Conclusion: The development of a registry of individuals undergoing treatment for SUD can be expected to enhance our understanding of the progression of the disease and the relative effectiveness of different treatment modalities for patients with different drug use histories and characteristics.

Screening for Nutritional Status in the Outpatient Setting Across Different Clinical Specialities in Turkiye: A Cross-Sectional NutritionDay Awareness Survey
Authors: Abbasoğlu Osman , Nutrition Day Study Group KEPAN 
Published: October 2023

Objective: To screen the nutritional status and determine the prevalence of malnutrition (MN) or MN risk among newly diagnosed and follow-up patients in different outpatient speciality clinics across Turkey.
Methods: A total of 3521 patients from 52 outpatient speciality clinics across Turkiye were included in this cross-sectional study. MN risk and/or MN were evaluated using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) tools. Time of diagnosis (new admissions vs. follow-up patients) was compared with the nutritional status.
Results: Overall, 652 (18.7%) of 3492 patients were at risk of MN according to NRS 2002, while 381 (40.9%) of 931 geriatric patients assessed by MNA were either malnourished (scores <17, 14.7%) or at risk of MN (scores 17-23.5, 26.2%). MN risk was more prevalent in medical oncology patients (44.1%), as well as in new vs. follow-up patients (23.1% vs. 19.0%, P = .007), particularly in radiation oncology (30.5% vs. 15.7%, respectively), medical oncology (47.2% vs. 41.6%, respectively) and geriatric (69.6% vs. 46.5%) clinics. In geriatric outpatient clinics, NRS 2002 showed MN risk in 35.3% of the patients those were at MN risk according to MNA, which was only 45.9% for those with MN (MNA score lower than 17).
Conclusion: In conclusion, this screening study in the outpatient setting across different clinical specialities revealed poor nutritional status in 1 out of every 5 patients overall, and nearly 1 out of 2 patients admitted to medical oncology and geriatrics clinics, respectively. In geriatric patients, NRS 2002 seems to underestimate MN risk compared to MNA. Given the higher MN risk prevalence in cancer and geriatric patients, it is important to screen nutritional status in those patients, especially during the first admission.
Note preliminari sull’Eracle del Museo d’Arte della Fondazione Luigi Rovati
Authors: Bagnasco Gianni Giovanna 
Published: October 2023

Della statua in terracotta di Eracle conservata nel Museo d’Arte rimane la testa coperta dalla leonté e parte del busto. La provenienza dell'opera è sconosciuta, ma il suo inquadramento stilistico e formale suggerisce una datazione entro la metà del IV secolo a.C. e un’attribuzione a ambiente etrusco-laziale. L’insieme della fronte ampia, del mento pronunciato nel quale si inscrivono tratti del volto di dimensioni contenute e la leonté simile più a un elmo sembrano distaccare questa particolare apoteosi dalle altre finora note.

The head covered by the lionskin, and part of the bust are what remains of the terracotta statue of Heracles preserved in the Art Museum. The provenience of the work is unknown, but its stylistic and formal details suggest an attribution to an Etrusco-Latial environment of the fourth century BCE. The combination of the broad forehead with the pronounced chin, in which are inscribed facial features of smaller dimensions, and the helmet-like lionskin seem to distinguish this particular apotheosis from the others known so far.

Published: October 2023

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global health issue. Literature has shown that primary care nurse-led cardiovascular disease clinics improve cardiac patient outcomes. These clinics improve the level of services provided, increase patient satisfaction, and decrease the mortality rate.Aim: This literature review aims to identify the roles and responsibilities of nurses working in CVD nurse-led clinics and to identify the outcomes of these nurse-led clinics.Method: Whittemore and Knafl’s framework guided this integrative review. Seventeen studies published between 2017 and 2022 were included in the review. The Mixed-Method Appraisal Tool was used to assess the quality of the studies.Results: Three themes emerge in this literature review: roles and responsibilities of nurse-led CVD clinics, the impact of nurse-led CVD clinics, and the qualifications of nurses working in these clinics.Conclusions: This integrative review identifies a framework for the roles and responsibilities of nurse-led CVD clinics and highlights the positive patient outcomes. This framework will help CVD nurse-led clinics to meet the needs of patients and achieve a high level of patient satisfaction.
