Published: December 2023

Background:
West Bengal, situated in eastern India, comprising 19 districts as of 2016 and consisting of 9.13 crore population, had been one of the participating states in the National Mental Health Survey, 2015–16.

Aim:
To estimate the prevalence and pattern of mental disorders in a representative population in West Bengal.

Materials and Methods:
Based upon a multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling with probability proportionate to each stage, 2646 eligible individuals were interviewed. Standard validated instruments in Bengali like socio-demographic profiles and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) version 6 were used by trained data collectors with quality monitoring as per a standardized protocol.

Results:
The current prevalence of mental illness in the state of West Bengal is 13.07% (12.9–13.24 95% CI), which is more than the current national average of 10.56% (10.51–10.61 95% CI). The prevalence of severe mental illness of 2.32% and suicide risk of 1.75% (1.68–1.81 95% CI) is higher than the national average. The common mental illness prevalence is 11.29 (11.13–11.45 95% CI), which is similar to the national weighted average. In West Bengal, severe mental illness is more concentrated in the rural areas in contrast to the national trend. Also, the prevalence of alcohol use disorder is 3.04 (2.96–3.13 95% CI) and epilepsy is 0.03 (0.27–0.29 95% CI), which is less than the national average.

Conclusion:
The prevalence of mental disorders in the state of West Bengal is higher than the national average, and for severe mental illness, the prevalence is the highest as compared to the national average.

Abstract

Purpose:
To evaluate corneal endothelium (CE) changes and function after uneventful phacoemulsification in relation to the level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).

Patients and Methods:
A prospective interventional case-control study was conducted on 76 eyes, divided into two groups: Group 1 included 38 eyes of diabetic patients, which was further divided into three subgroups according to the level of HbA1c; Group A (strict control HbA1c < 7 mg/dL), Group B (moderate control HbA1c 7–9 mg/dL), and Group C (poorly controlled HbA1c > 9 mg/dL), and Group 2 included 38 eyes of nondiabetic patients. All participants had a full ophthalmological examination, assessment of the level of HbA1c, preoperative evaluation of CE by specular microscopy, uneventful phacoemulsification, and reassessment of CE by specular microscopy 3 weeks after surgery.

Results:
Three weeks after surgery, statistically significant changes in CE parameters regarding endothelial cell density, ACG, and standard deviation in both groups were found, with greater changes in diabetics. The poorer the control of diabetes (higher preoperative HbA1c), the greater the impact on postoperative CE changes, but the changes were of no statistical significance.

Conclusion:
Diabetics are more vulnerable to CE damage during phacoemulsification, and the higher the preoperative HbA1c, the more the damage. So, strict preoperative diabetic control is advisable before phacoemulsification.

Published: December 2023

Leadership has been observed to be a critical factor in influencing several organizational outcomes. The purpose of the study was to assess the influence leadership is likely to have on the marketing orientation attitude of an organization using Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) as the case study. One of the key backdrops to this study was the fact that Ghana Broadcasting Corporation has been criticized for long to have lacked a sharp marketing edge on the market, thus, the corporation lacks the ability to capitalize the governmental cushion it has as well as the numerous affiliates it can boast of. The study approached quantitatively using closed-ended questionnaires to collect data from the respondents. The researchers also espoused the correlational design to establish the relationship between the two study variables. Stratified and purposive sampling techniques were adopted in selecting the sample. A total of 150 respondents were targeted purposively and conveniently. Data was analyzed using correlation analysis. The study revealed that there was an insignificant relationship between leadership style and market orientation. Furthermore, the organization was low on marketing orientation culture.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0054/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
THE IMPACT OF INDIAN CULTURE ON VIETNAM FROM THE ASPECT OF DIPLOMATIC EXCHANGE AND COOPERATION
Authors: Duc Tran Minh 
Published: December 2023

India is a South Asian country with a land area of 3,287,590 km2, the world's second-largest population, and the world's seventh-largest economy in nominal GDP (2016). More than 2000 years ago, the Southeast Asian native culture class of Vietnam, alongside the Chinese cultural mainstream, is the bold mark of Indian culture. Since the Cold War, India has continued to advance its policy toward the East through diplomatic relations, and Vietnam is one of the countries with which India has established early diplomatic relations. The continuous exchange and cooperation from the past to the present has helped India to accompany Vietnam in many different areas, ranging from culture, painting, art, architecture, religion, and so on, to trade, education, and science.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0041/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
Recreational use of nitrous oxide causes seizure, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and pneumopericardium: nitrous oxide and its harm, a case report
Authors: Davidson Lee Ti 
Published: December 2023

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as ‘laughing gas’, has become a popular recreational drug. Whippets, small canisters containing gas in pressurized form, can be easily obtained from a food store. However, inhaling nitrous oxide from these canisters, which contain a 100% concentration, can lead to hypoxia, resulting in seizures or even death. Inhalation of nitrous oxide rarely causes pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and pneumopericardium.
This case study highlights the potential dangers of recreational abuse of nitrous oxide.
Reference values of serum total IgE in Uppsala – comparison over four decades
Authors: Movérare Robert , Persson Eilif , Malinovschi Andrei , Janson Christer 
Published: December 2023

Background: Total immunoglobulin E (IgE) analysis is a common tool in allergy diagnosis. Suggested reference values for IgE are divergent and sometimes based on outdated assay methods. We aimed to validate the published reference values (geometric mean [GM]: 13.2 kU/L, upper limit of normal [ULN], 114 kU/L) shown in an Uppsala cohort from 1974 using Phadebas IgE PRIST, and the suggested clinical threshold of 100 kU/L (Zetterström and Johansson 1981).
Methods: Immunoglobulin E was measured in two Uppsala cohorts from 1997 (Blood bank) and 2011 to 2013 (the European community respiratory health survey part III [ECRHS III]) using ImmunoCAP™ Total IgE. For the reference value calculations, exclusion criteria were atopy (both cohorts), doctor’s diagnosis of asthma and self-reported allergy (hay fever, rhinitis, rash) (only ECRHS III). Upper limit of normal was defined as mean + 2 standard deviations (SD) calculated using log-transformed values and back-transformation of the ULN prior to presentation. Common imputation methods for results below the assay range were evaluated.
Results: The average GM was 14.2 kU/L (Blood bank, n = 63; imputation method range: 16.9–17.4 kU/L; ECRHS III, n = 113: 10.7–11.6 kU/L) and the overall mean ULN was 118 kU/L (Blood bank: 113–130 kU/L; ECRHS III: 104–128 kU/L). The clinical sensitivity and specificity of the 100 kU/L IgE threshold were 37.8 and 94.3% for atopy, 34.9 and 89.5% for doctor’s diagnosis of asthma, and 24.5 and 97.3% for any self-reported allergy (ECRHS III).
Conclusion: The calculated ULN values were similar between the cohorts. We conclude that the total IgE reference values shown for Uppsala subjects from 1974 are still valid and suitable also for the ImmunoCAP Total IgE assay. The 100 kU/L threshold for total IgE had a low sensitivity but high specificity for atopy, asthma, and allergy.

Abstract. The Chaos Canyon landslide, which collapsed on the afternoon of 28 June 2022 in Rocky Mountain National Park, presents an opportunity to evaluate instabilities within alpine regions faced with a warming and dynamic climate. Video documentation of the landslide was captured by several eyewitnesses and motivated a rapid field campaign. Initial estimates put the failure area at 66 630 m2, with an average elevation of 3555 m above sea level. We undertook an investigation of previous movement of this landslide, measured the volume of material involved, evaluated the potential presence of interstitial ice and snow within the failed deposit, and examined potential climatological impacts on the collapse of the slope. Satellite radar and optical measurements were used to calculate deformation of the landslide in the 5 years leading up to collapse. From 2017 to 2019, the landslide moved ∼5 m yr−1, accelerating to 17 m yr−1 in 2019. Movement took place through both internal deformation and basal sliding. Climate analysis reveals that the collapse took place during peak snowmelt, and 2022 followed 10 years of higher than average positive degree day sums. We also made use of slope stability modeling to test what factors controlled the stability of the area. Models indicate that even a small increase in the water table reduces the factor of safety to <1, leading to failure. We posit that a combination of permafrost thaw from increasing average temperatures, progressive weakening of the basal shear zone from several years of movement, and an increase in pore-fluid pressure from snowmelt led to the 28 June collapse. Material volumes were estimated using structure from motion (SfM) models incorporating photographs from two field expeditions on 8 July 2022 – 10 d after the slide. Detailed mapping and SfM models indicate that ∼1 258 000 ± 150 000 m3 of material was deposited at the slide toe and ∼1 340 000 ± 133 000 m3 of material was evacuated from the source area. The Chaos Canyon landslide may be representative of future dynamic alpine topography, wherein slope failures become more common in a warming climate.

The COVID-19 Pandemic Exposes and Exacerbates Inequalities for Vulnerable Groups: A Systematic Review
Authors: Husain Fawad , Akram Sara , Al-Kubaisi Hamad Abdulla R A , Hameed Frass 
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable populations. COVID-19 is widely acknowledged to necessitate physical isolation as a new norm. The consequences of the closure varied among individuals. COVID-19 is linked to societal disparities in terms of its occurrence, diagnosis procedures, and seriousness. Discrepancies occur due to differences in viral exposure, increased vulnerability to infection, higher prevalence of severe health conditions with substantial consequences, and unequal access to healthcare. The impact of COVID-19 can be significantly influenced by several socioeconomic determinants of health, such as poverty, environmental factors including homelessness, and one's racial or cultural heritage. In this review study, the frequency of discriminatory practices—which often result from people's preconceived biases—is analyzed. These conducts put people at risk, restrict their capacity to participate in social activities, impede their ability to acquire new skills, and frequently block their access to secure housing, healthcare, education, and a steady income. The study aims to investigate the discriminatory impact of COVID-19 on individuals who experience social deprivation. This aspect of the research focuses primarily on analyzing four crucial factors: homelessness, racial prejudice, gender inequity, and the susceptibility of older individuals. The aforementioned concerns primarily pertain to the lower-income demographic, which experiences the most restricted access to fundamental commodities and health insurance.

Published: December 2023

Este estudo objetiva verificar se existiu ou não segregação de alunos com Necessidades Educacionais Específicas (NEE) em relação a alunos sem NEE no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) no período entre 2011 a 2020. Para atender a tal objetivo, a segregação foi calculada por meio do índice de dissimilaridade – utilizado para medir o quanto duas populações estão segregadas, em duas ou mais unidades espaciais – considerando estudantes com e sem NEE como populações e as escolas como unidades espaciais. Esse índice foi calculado para cada município de MS nos últimos 10 anos, com base nos microdados do Censo Escolar. Os resultados indicam para uma diminuição na curva de segregação dos alunos com NEE no estado em geral com notável redução dentro dos municípios polo da educação inclusiva. Entretanto, em municípios como Aquidauana, Anaurilândia, Camapuã, Ivinhema, entre outras, observou-se um significativo aumento no índice calculado.
