Authors: Taheri Abolfazl , Adibi Peyman , Abbasi Alireza , Sabbagh Jaffari Mojtaba , Rahimi Alireza 
Published: October 2023

Background:
Following personalized medicine and the development of e-publishing, a large number of case report–dedicated journals have emerged. But the lack of integrated guidelines is a major obstacle to the quality of this evidence. The purpose of this study is to analyze the reporting requirements of case report–dedicated journals to update and strengthen the CARE guidelines.

Material and Methods:
Quantitative and qualitative research approach has been done using the content analysis method. All case report–dedicated journals were selected from Scopus (54 out of a total of 68 journals). By referring to these journals' websites, all the contents of the authors' guideline section and two sample articles were examined as a unit of analysis. Quantitative data includes frequency and percentile; qualitative data was conducted through open coding, creating categories, and abstraction.

Results:
51% of journals are related to Elsevier and Hindawi publications. 14.8% of journals have been launched in the form of companions. 52% of journals endorse the CARE guidelines. Among the CARE elements, title, consent form (100%), discussion, abstract (94.4%), and introduction (90.7%) had the most frequent elements, and timeline and patients' perspective had the least repetition in the authors' guideline. Also, 19 new reporting elements and 27 types of case reports were identified.

Conclusions:
Improving the reporting and content quality of case reports is very important to benefit from knowledge synthesis services. Medical journals publishing case reports should follow a more integrated process. An updated version of reporting guidelines needs to be available for publishers and editors of journals.
The Level of Serum Osmolarity at Admission in Prognosis of Nosocomial Mortality in Patients with Severe Brain Trauma
Authors: Ziaei Maryam , Galavi Mehdi , Bahmani Alireza , Abdolrazaghnejad Ali 
Published: October 2023

Background:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death among patients in developed countries. The patients' prognosis depends on the trauma-induced primary damage as well as the secondary brain damage, including electrolyte disturbances. Therefore, prevention, diagnosis, and timely treatment lead to better prognosis. Herein, the aim is to prognosticate about the mortality in patients with TBI through serum osmolarity at admission.

Materials and Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, 141 patients with TBI were assigned through convenience sampling. The level of serum osmolarity was examined once the patients were admitted to emergency department and later, the outcome was recorded. Finally, we analyzed the relationship between osmolarity level and patient outcome in age groups.

Results:
The mean serum osmolarity in the age group of under 18 years, 18 to 60 years, and more than 60 years was equal to 295.3 ± 10.02 mOsm/L, 297.2 ± 6.5 mOsm/L, and 301.6 ± 7.6 mOsm/L, respectively (P-value <0.001). Osmolarity with a cut-off point of more than 298.90 and sensitivity and specificity of 70.49 and 62.86, respectively, had appropriate diagnostic value for predicting mortality in these patients (P-value <0.001).

Conclusion:
According to the results of this study, serum osmolarity can have an appropriate diagnostic value in predicting mortality in patients with TBI. In addition, in different age categories, the osmolarity serum in the mortality of these patients was significantly different. Therefore, due to the high importance of serum osmolarity in the mortality of patients, careful monitoring of fluid therapy status of trauma patients should be implemented to prevent the development of hyperosmolarity for the patient with irreversible outcomes.
The Value of Inferior Vena Cava Ultrasonography Administration for Hypovolemia Detection in Patients with Acute Kidney Injury Hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Abbasi Saeed , Nemati Kourosh , Alikiaii Babak , Saghaei Mahmood 
Published: October 2023

Background:
The hypo-perfusion of the kidneys can lead to impairment in renal function and induce renal injury in case of delayed diagnosis and treatment. To date, laboratory markers are routinely used to determine the fluid volume status of the patients. The current study aims to evaluate the values of inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility index in hypovolemia diagnosis among critical patients admitted at the intensive care unit (ICU).

Materials and Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study performed on 67 patients admitted to the ICU due to acute kidney injury from May 2018 to October 2019. Hypovolemia was assessed assessing IVC collapsibility using ultrasonography. Laboratory data, including urine osmolality, urine-plasma creatinine ratio, sodium excretion fraction and urinary sodium level were checked. Afterward, IVC collapsibility index was measured for each patient using ultrasonography and the values of this index in accordance with the mentioned criteria was evaluated. Accordingly, reciever operating curve was depicted.

Results:
There was no significant asosociation between IVC collapsibility index with fractional excretion of sodium (P = 0.69), urine Na (P = 0.93) and urine osmolality ([P = 0.09]), while urine: Plasma creatinie ration revealed a significant association with IVC collapsibility index at cut point of 40.5% with sensitivity and specificity of 96% and 44% (P = 0.017, area under the curve: 0.67, 95% confidence interval: 0.551–0.804), respectively.

Conclusion:
According to the findings of this study, IVC collapsibility detected via ultrasonography was not an appropriate index to figure out hypovolemia in ICU patients. Furthermore, detailed studies are recommended.
Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Super-Bioavailable Itraconazole-130 mg Once Daily in Obese and Non-Obese Patients of Glabrous Tinea
Authors: Shenoy Manjunath , De Abhishek , Shah Bela , Das Anupam , Saraswat Abir , Lahiri Koushik , Dhoot Dhiraj 
Published: October 2023

Background:
Obesity is considered one of the risk factors for dermatophytosis and warrants systemic therapy. Itraconazole is the most commonly used antifungal, but owing to pharmacokinetic challenges, super-bioavailable itraconazole (SITZ) was approved globally, recently. For the management of dermatophytosis in obese patients, there are mixed opinions regarding the dosing of systemic antifungals.

Materials and Methods:
This study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of SITZ-130 mg once daily in glabrous tinea or dermatophytosis in obese and non-obese patients for a total duration of 10 weeks on 87 eligible patients. Efficacy and safety assessments were done at weeks 3 and 6 with follow-up at week 10 for relapse. The primary objective was to assess the proportion of patients achieving complete cure at week 6 with the assessment of safety, clinical, and mycological cure rates as secondary objectives.

Results:
Out of 87 patients, 80 were considered for analysis. At week 6, 22/35 (63%) and 33/45 (73%) patients in obese and non-obese groups were completely cured (P = 0.47). Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference for mycological and clinical cure in both the groups (P = 0.17 and P = 0.61, respectively). Four patients in the obese group (18% of completely cured), while one patient in the non-obese group (3% of completely cured), relapsed within 4 weeks of completion of treatment (P = 0.14). The therapy was well tolerated by both groups, with only one patient in the non-obese group experiencing pruritus.

Conclusion:
SITZ-130 mg once daily achieved desired and similar clinical response in obese patients as of non-obese patients suffering from dermatophytosis, and hence, a higher dose may not require in obesity.
Incidence and causes of cancellation of elective surgery on the scheduled day in a tertiary care hospital of India – A cross-sectional study
Authors: Bharti Aruna , Azmi Faisal , Chaudhary Nishant , Pandey Chandrakant 
Published: October 2023

Background:
A meticulously planned elective surgery list is a very important strategy of a hospital to ensure efficient utilization of its resources. Cancellation of surgery causes wastage of already scare tertiary care resources, and psychological and financial strain on the patient, the importance of which is felt even more if the cause is preventable. This study was executed to ascertain the incidence and causes for cancellation of elective surgeries on the scheduled day at a tertiary care hospital with the intention of maximally utilizing the available resources.

Materials and Methods:
The study was executed from January 1, 2019, to March 18, 2020. Data were obtained from each operating room of all specialties pertaining to patient details, planned surgery, and the reason for cancellation.

Results:
Total canceled cases were 206 (2.31%) out of 8937 cases. Most cases that were canceled belonged to the surgical gastroenterology (28.16% of the total canceled cases of all departments; n = 58) followed by neurosurgery department (19.41%; n = 40). Most cancellations were due to time constraints (~39%, n = 81). The second most common reason was surgeon related (34.6%), mainly overbooking. Patient-related issues caused cancellation in 16.5% (n = 39) of cases.

Conclusions:
Time constraints due to unexpected prolongation of previous cases and overbooking of operation theater were the significant reasons for the cancellation of elective cases on the day of surgery.
An outcome study on conservative management of spinal tuberculosis
Authors: Kaushik Nischay , Choudhary Ayush , Bimal Bimlesh Kumar , Runu Ritesh , Ahmed Wasim , Kashyap Nishant 
Published: October 2023

Introduction:
Spinal tuberculosis (TB) is a serious form of extrapulmonary TB which if left untreated can be fatal due to vertebral body collapse causing cord compression, neurological deficit, and visceral complications. It is mainly treated by antitubercular therapy and bracing. If required, debridement and fixation is also done. With the advent of magnetic resonance imaging and other diagnostics, spinal TB can be detected early. With early diagnosis, we want to assess the outcome of conservative management of spinal TB in the population of Bihar.

Materials and Methods:
After ethical clearance, a prospective study on 60 patients with spinal TB was conducted. The diagnosis was based on clinical signs and symptoms, serological tests, radiological tests, and histological confirmation. Antitubercular therapy was started and regular assessment was done clinically, serologically, and radiologically. Based on all three parameters, the therapy was stopped once the patient had healed TB.

Results:
Twenty-eight patients out of 60 had a neurological deficit, and after treatment, 20 patients completely recovered. Kyphosis was seen in 5 patients at presentation and 13 patients after completion of therapy. Two patients developed scoliosis after therapy completion. None had a neurological deficit.

Conclusions:
Spinal TB can be effectively treated by anti-TB therapy which helps in disease extirpation and neurological improvement but does not prevent the development of spinal deformity.
Need for workplace smoking cessation program among public transit drivers: Evidence from a cross-sectional study in a metropolitan city of Western India
Authors: Soundararajan Soundarya , Sheth Ankit , Rupani Mihir , Balachandar Rakesh , Viramgami Ankit 
Published: October 2023

Background:
Air pollution is a significant contributor to respiratory illness globally, and in India, evidence is scarce on whether smoking exacerbates this problem.

Objective and Methods:
We aimed at assessing if being a smoker among public transit drivers increased risk for respiratory illnesses and affected performance of pulmonary function tests in a cross-sectional study in a metropolitan city of Gujarat, western state of India. We conducted a cross-sectional study among public transit drivers (those who were smoking and not smoking). Administration staff who were not smoking were considered as control group. We collected socio-demographic and medical history including occupational history (N = 296). We collected details of respiratory symptoms with standard tools and assessed pulmonary function tests (PFT) using spirometry. Group differences and regression analyses were conducted in R software.

Results:
We found that respiratory symptoms among public transit drivers who smoked were higher than those who did not smoke and healthy controls. In PFT diagnosis, drivers who smoke displayed two times higher prevalence of obstructive pattern compared to drivers who did not smoke. There was a significant reduction in the larger as well as the smaller airway functions, reflected in reduction of FEV1/FVC ratio (p < 0.001) and FEF25-75% (p < 0.001), respectively, among drivers who smoked compared to controls. Our results indicate that being a driver with a smoking history leads to a 3.1% greater decrease in the FEV1/FVC ratio and about half a litre reduction in FEF25-75% compared to the drivers who did not smoke.

Conclusion:
We suggest there is a high need for smoking cessation programmes for public transit drivers as they are at higher risk for respiratory illnesses and reduced pulmonary functions when smoking is added to the existing vehicular exposure.

Authors: Choo Chee-Yan , Goh Hui Poh , Long Chiau Ming 
Published: October 2023

Background: First-year pharmacy students experienced on-site education after three years of studying online in isolation.
Objectives: This study aimed to analyse newly enrolled first-year pharmacy students’ learning profiles using learning analytics from YouTube, and further understand their motivation and learning strategy during the transition period.
Method: Learning Analytics (LA) were retrieved from YouTube analytics on instructor-generated videos. Students’ motivation and learning strategies were acquired using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) with a seven-point Likert score distributed online using Google Forms. Data were analysed using SPSS, and interview sessions were conducted with some of the students.
Results: The LA showed most students referred to the instructor-generated video during study week. Students avoided the tutorial video with a view ratio lower than 1.0. This result correlated with the lower metacognitive mean compared to the cognitive level in the MSLQ analysis. Dependant on extrinsic components has increased their anxiety level. The peer learning scored higher than the help-seeking and was confirmed through interviews.
Conclusion: This study offers insights into students learning motivation and strategies. Well-designed instructional learning activities may help in improving their problem-solving skills to boost their motivation. The teacher-student relationship may need more effort to build.

Authors: Çeliku Xhyla , Preston Anthony 
Published: October 2023

The path towards North Macedonia’s membership in the European Union has been long and arduous. After resolving the naming dispute with Greece, North Macedonia is now facing opposition from Bulgaria, a member of the European Union, over issues related to history, culture, and language. Bulgaria has the right to veto North Macedonia’s accession to the European Union. The current situation in North Macedonia is dire. Corruption is rampant in state administration and society at large. The economy is deteriorating, and the young generation is leaving the country in droves. The international community can play a crucial role in preventing this chaotic social and political situation in North Macedonia. It can push both countries to find a reasonable solution in order for North Macedonia to be part of the European Union as soon as possible.

Published: October 2023

Osmanlı Devleti’nin yıkılışı ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluşuna tanıklık eden yazar ve sanatçılar ulus bilinci ve milli kimlik oluşum süreçlerinde önemli bir rol oynamış, eserlerinde toplumu ilgilendiren konulara ağırlık vererek Anadolu halkının yaşadığı sıkıntıları, köy ve kasaba hayatını, inkılâplarla birlikte gelen değişiklikleri farklı açılardan işlemişlerdir. Cumhuriyet’in kuruluş döneminde de sanat ve edebiyata yönelik adımlar devlet politikası olarak benimsenmiştir.
Türkiye modernleşme sürecinde yönünü Batı’ya çevirmiş olsa da 1930’larda ulusal kimlik oluşturma ve ulus inşasında özgün bir tavır sergileme çabasına girmiştir. Bu yolda sanat ve edebiyat alanında milli şuurun artırılmasına yönelik eğitim kurumları ve sergiler açılmış, eserler verilmiştir. Batılılaşma arzusuyla atılan adımlarla birlikte eserler, milli şuurun inşa edilmesi ve halkın bilgilendirilmesi için iletişim aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, ulus inşa sürecinde yazar ve sanatçılar kamuoyu önderliği görevi üstlenmiş, eserler ise propaganda aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti ilke ve inkılâplarının halka benimsetilmesi ve milli kimliğin oluşturulmasında sanat ve edebiyat eserlerinin nasıl kullanıldığını anlamak amacıyla dönemi temsil eden eserlere dair incelemelere yer verilmiş ve betimleyici bir analiz yapılmıştır. Resim, mimari ve heykel alanlarının her birinde ayrı kategorilerde temaların ağırlık kazandığı; roman, şiir ve tiyatro eserlerinde ise inşa edilmek istenen ulusun portresinin doğrudan çizildiği görülmüştür.

Monitorar os teores de flúor (F) nas águas de abastecimento público no município
de Jaguaribara, Ceará, Brasil. Métodos: Coletaram-se amostras da água da zona urbana, em três pontos diferentes. As coletas foram realizadas duas vezes ao mês, de agosto de 2010 a julho de 2011. As amostras foram analisadas em triplicata por meio do eletrodo combinado conectado a um medidor, previamente calibrados com padrões contendo de 0,2 a 6,4 ppm F, com Tisab II. Os dados foram analisados por três critérios: I (Brasil, 1975), II (Ramires et al., 2006) e III (Consenso técnico, 2011). Resultados: Em um total de 72 amostras de água foi possível observar uma média de 0,55 (± 0,19) ppm F, mediana de 0,61. No Critério I, foram verificados níveis aceitáveis de flúor em 47,2% das amostras, 44,4% apresentarams e subfluoretadas (< 0,60 ppm F) e 8,3% superfluoretadas. Para o critério II, observou-se que 36,1% das amostras foram inaceitáveis (<0,55 ppm F) e 63,9% estavam dentro dos limites aceitáveis (0,55 a 0,84 ppm F), não havendo nenhuma amostra superfluoretada. No critério III, verificou-se a presença de 25% das amostras com risco e benefícios insignificantes em relação à fluorose dentária e prevenção de cárie dentária, enquanto 11,1% das amostras apresentaram risco baixo e benefício mínimo e 63,9% apontam risco baixo e benefício máximo. Conclusões: Observaram-se alterações nos teores de flúor nas águas de abastecimento público no período estudado. Sugere-se anecessidade de melhorar o controle operacional e também do heterocontrole da fluoretação das águas de Jaguaribara-CE.
