Abstract

Worldwide, more than nine people die every minute from accidents or abuse and 5.8 million people of all ages and economic classes die every year from accidental injuries. This retrospective study aims to describe the statistical trends regarding trauma management in our hospital “Arcispedale Sant’Anna, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria di Ferrara” between March 2010 and December 2019, identifying 575 trauma patients who were first admitted to the Emergency Department then transferred to the Emergency General Surgery Department. For each patient data about sex, age, cause of trauma, dynamic of trauma, triage color, pain scale, Trauma Team activation (TTA), Injury Severity Score (ISS) and body regions affected from the trauma were collected and for each of the latter categories were analyzed sex distribution, causes of trauma, and median age. The Cribari Matrix Method (CMM) was also applied in order to identify potential overtriage and undertriage. This study provided us important relations between trauma and both age and sex, also proving the coherence between ISS and triage color assignation, dynamic of trauma, and mortality. The CMM index proved the achievement for our Hospital, a first level facility equipped with a second level Emergency Department, of the benchmarks for overtriage rates but not for undertriage ones by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT) recommendations.

Abstract

DEAD-box helicase 53 (DDX53) is a member of the DEAD-box protein family of RNA helicases. Unlike other family members that are responsible for RNA metabolism, the biological function of DDX53 and its impact on the human condition are unclear. Herein, We found 21 patients with loss-of-function variants at DDX53, of whom 19 patients exhibited neurological disorders. Notably, a local patient with a full-length DDX53 deletion mutation had hereditary spastic paraplegia-like (HSP-like) clinical manifestation with lower extremity spasticity, intellectual disability, walking disorder, visual impairment, and lateral ventricular white matter lesions. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that DDX53 was mainly expressed in the cerebellar cortex and may function as a tissue-specific RNA helicase. Transcriptome analysis showed that the expression of multiple brain-associated genes involved in synapse organization, neuron function, and neuromuscular junctions was affected by DDX53 depletion. Moreover, RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) analysis showed that DDX53 interacted with 176 genes, and 97 of these genes were associated with the execution of neurofunction, particularly in the regulation of cell projection organization and nervous system development. Collectively, although a more specified cell or animal model is required to fully understand the functional role of DDX53 in the human brain, we report for the first time that DDX53 is required for the maintenance of neuronal function and that loss-of-function mutations in DDX53 may cause HSP due to impaired RNA metabolism in the nervous system.
Optical properties of daily used water inside Kathmandu valley
Authors: Koirala Sudhan , Neupane Damodar , Mulmi Deependra Das , Dhobi Saddam Husain 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

This article comprehensively examines the characteristics of water samples sourced from diverse locations in the Kathmandu Valley, encompassing density, transmittance, absorption coefficient, mass attenuation coefficient, and molecular cross-section area, across varying temperatures. Density variations, within a temperature range of 8°C to 48°C, are reported, spanning from 1.000140 to 1.177248 g/cm³. Transmittance increases with wavelength and exhibits temperature-related variations due to differing impurities among sources. The relationship between transmittance and temperature lacks a distinct pattern, influenced by unique source impurities and temperature effects. Moreover, the molecular cross-section area (MCA) estimates particles to be approximately 10− 24cm2. Additionally, the mass attenuation coefficient consistently decreases with wavelength across all samples. These findings provide a comprehensive insight into the intricate interplay between water properties, impurities, temperature, and radiation interactions in various water sources.
Factors associated with patients’ experience of accessibility to general practice: results from a national survey in Norway

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background:
In the landscape of healthcare quality assessment, understanding patient experiences is vital. Positive patient experience correlates with high-quality clinical outcomes and reduced healthcare utilization thus, improving access to general practice is one of the current priorities in numerous healthcare systems. This study aimed to explore patient, general practitioner (GP), and practice level predictors of patient-experienced accessibility, including a composite index containing accessibility items. The secondary aim was to gain a deeper understanding of patient-perceived accessibility through free-text comments.
Methods:
Data was collected from a national survey of patient experiences with general practice in Norway (2021-2022). We identified 7 accessibility-related items from the Norwegian patient experiences with GP questionnaire (PEQ-GP) and computed a composite index score of accessibility. Predictors consisted of patient’s self-reported characteristics, as well as background data about the GP and GP practice. The analysis included univariate analyses, and seven logistic regression models, following an evaluation of the need for multilevel modelling by estimating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the design effect statistics for the seven dependent variables. In addition, we performed a multiple linear regression with the index score of accessibility. Finally, a qualitative analysis was conducted of free-text survey comments among patients that had a score of 0 (unfavorable) on all the seven accessibility items one of the main themes.
Results:
The total number of responses was 7,912 (42%). The main predictor associated with patient-perceived accessibility was whether patients normally see their own GP. This result was highly significant (p<0.001) and in positive association both with all seven accessibility items in logistic regression analyses with OR ranging from 3.208 -1.756, as well as in the multiple linear regression with the index score. In addition to patient/GP continuity; self-reported mental health, practice size, and GP specialization were the strongest predictors. Qualitative analyses confirmed patients' inability to see their own GP as a central theme.
Conclusions:
In summary, the findings underscore the critical role of patient/GP continuity to enhance accessibility. Strengthening patient access to healthcare services and fostering meaningful patient-provider relationships should be used to inform efforts of better organizing and improving future general practice.
Comparison of the demographics of residential rooftop and community solar adopters
Authors: O'Shaughnessy Eric , Barbose Galen , Kannan Sudha , Sumner Jenny 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Rooftop and community solar are alternative product classes for residential solar in the United States. Community solar, where multiple households buy solar from shared systems, could make solar more accessible by reducing initial costs and removing adoption barriers for renters and multifamily building occupants. Here, we test whether existing community solar projects have expanded solar access in the United States. We find that community solar adopters are more likely to live in multifamily buildings than rooftop solar adopters, are more likely to rent, and to a lesser extent tend to earn less income. We do not find that community solar expands access in terms of race. These differences are driven, roughly evenly, by inherent differences between the two solar products and by policies that specifically target low-income community solar adoption. The results suggest that alternative solar products can effectively expand solar access and that policy could augment such benefits.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
The Continuum of care for reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health includes integrated service delivery for mothers and children from pre-pregnancy to delivery, the immediate postnatal period, and childhood. In Ethiopia, the magnitude of antenatal care, skilled delivery, postnatal care, and immunization for children have shown improvement. Despite this, there was limited research on the percentage of mothers who have completed maternal and child continuum care.
Objective
To assess the Completion of Maternal and Child Health Continuum of Care and Associated Factors among women in Gode District, Shebele Zone, Eastern Ethiopia ,2022.
Method
A community-based cross-sectional study design applied from November 1–15, 2022. A stratified sampling method was applied. A woman who gave birth in the last year preceding the data collection period will be included in the study. An interviewer-administered semi-structured questioner will be used for data collection. Data collected by using kobo collect and analyzed using STATA version 17. Both Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses will be done. In multivariable analysis, variables having P-values less than 0.05 will be taken as factors associated with the completion of the maternal and child health continuum of care.
Result
The Completion of MCH continuum of care was 13.5% (10.7%-17.0%) in Gode district,2022. Accordingly, Husband occupation (Government employee) [AOR = 2.3, 95%CI:(1.2–4.7)] and perceived time to reach health facility (less than 30 minutes) [AOR = 2.96, 95%CI:(1.2–7.5)] were factors showing significant association with maternal and child health continuum of care among mothers in Gode district, Somali regional State;2023 at P-value ≤ 0.05.
Conclusion and recommendation: Only
13.5% of mothers in Gode district received all of the recommended maternal and child health services during their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period. The study found that two factors were associated with a higher likelihood of receiving MCH continuum of care: husband occupation and perceived time to reach a health facility. Governments can play a key role in increasing the maternal and child health continuum of care by investing in health care infrastructure

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Objectives
This study aims to explore the relationship between hypomagnesemia and mortality in severe intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients.
Methods
In this study, 2026 patients with ICH from the Electronic Intensive Care Unit Collaborative Study database were enrolled. Two groups were classified based on the serum magnesium levels of ICH patients: hypomagnesemia and non- hypomagnesemia groups. Primary outcome was ICU mortality. Secondary outcomes were ICU stay time and mechanical ventilation use. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to study the relationship between hypomagnesemia and ICU mortality. We also performed a cumulative survival rate analysis by Kaplan-Meier curves.
Results
We enrolled a total of 2026 severe ICH patients who were older than 16 years and were hospitalized in the ICU for more than 24 hours. Of these, 277 (13.7%) patients died in the ICU. We observed hypomagnesemia in 489 patients. Multivariable logistic regression analyses demonstrated that hypomagnesemia was related to a 38% increased risk of ICU mortality, a prolonged length of ICU stay of 45.11 hours, as well as a 67% increased risk of mechanical ventilation use in severe ICH patients.
Conclusion
Our study suggested that hypomagnesemia was related to a higher risk of ICU mortality, longer ICU stay time, and a higher risk of mechanical ventilation use in patients with severe ICH. However, further randomized, prospective and controlled studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Causal relationships between new 412 gut microbiota, 731 inflammatory cells,91 inflammatory proteins and circulating leukocytes and subarachnoid hemorrhage: a Multi-omics, Bidirectional Mendelian randomization study and Meta-analysis
Authors: Yan Congzhi , Li Yun 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
A neurological emergency with potentially fatal outcomes is subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Arachnoid and soft meninges are separated by a tiny gap called the subarachnoid space. The term "SAH" describes a clinical state brought on by bleeding into the subarachnoid space as a result of diseased or damaged blood vessels rupturing at the base or surface of the brain.
Methods
To obtain preliminary results, this study integrated the use of several omics with Mendelian randomization analysis and MR-IVW, MR Egger, MR weight median, and MR weight mode. Reverse Mendelian randomization analysis using subarachnoid hemorrhage as exposure. Lastly, to get a summary of the findings, conduct a meta-analysis on the preliminary data.
Results
GBPA-Pyridoxal 5 photosphate biosynthatis I (OR = 1.48,95% CI, 1.04–2.12) and GBPA-glucose biosynthesis I(OR = 0.68,95% CI, 0.52–0.90)is positively correlated with SAH. The urokinase type plasma activator levels showed a positive correlation with SAH (OR = 1.17,95% CI, 1.04–1.32).CD80 on CD62L + Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell, CD80 on plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell, CD123 on CD62L + plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell and SSC-A on Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell were found to be associated with SAH.
Conclusion
Using Mendelian randomization and meta-analysis, four inflammatory cells, one inflammatory protein, and two new gut microbiota-related pathways were shown to be connected to SAH in this investigation. suggesting that each of these could be a potential treatment target for SAH. This implies that controlling gut microbiota and using anti-inflammatory medications are essential for treating SAH.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Objective
Neural tube defects are the most common congenital disorders after cardiac anomalies. Lumbar kyphosis deformity is observed in 8–15% of these patients. This deformity severely limits the daily lives of these patients. In our study, we aimed to correct the kyphosis angle of the patients with lumbar kyphosis associated with myelomeningocele (MMC) and allow them to continue their growth without limiting their lung capacity by applying kyphectomy and sliding growing rod technique.
Patients and Methods:
In this study, we retrospectively evaluated 24 patients with congenital lumbar kyphosis deformity associated with MMC, aged between 4 and 9 years, and who applied to XXXXXX Hospital between the dates of 2018 and 2021. We evaluated preoperative and postoperative kyphosis angles, correction rates, bleeding during operations, operation time, level of instrumentation, number of the resected vertebrae, initial levels of the posterior defects, duration of hospital stays, annual lengthening, and weight of the patients.
Results
Mean age was 5.04 (between 4 and 9). Mean preoperative and early postoperative kyphosis angles were 129.8° (87–175°) and 0.79° (-20–24°), respectively. The kyphotic deformity correction rate was 99.1%. A difference was found regarding kyphosis measurements between preoperative and early period values (p < 0.05). The annual height lengthening of patients was calculated as 0.74cm/year and 0.77 cm/year between T1–T12 and T1–S1, respectively. Mean preoperative levels of hemoglobin (Hgb) was 11.95, postoperative Hgb value was 10.02 and the decrease was significant (p < 0.05). In terms of complications, 50% (12) had broken/loosen screws, 50% (12) had undergone debridement surgery, 37.5% (9) had vacuum assisted closure (VAC) therapy, and 33.3% (8) had to get all of their implants removed.
Conclusion
We believe that our sliding growing rod technique is an excellent method which makes life, rehabilitation process, and daily care easier for MMC patients with lumbar kyphosis. This technique seems to be a safe and reliable method which preserves lung capacity and allows lengthening.

Authors: Asano Yotaro , Takasugi Tomo , Ueno Keiko , Kondo Naoki , Yoshino Atsuto , Ojima Toshiyuki 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
Ambulance service demand and utilization are increasing worldwide. To address this issue, the factors that affect ambulance use must be identified. Few studies have examined factors that can intervene and thus reduce the frequency of ambulance use. This study explored the potential association between social support and ambulance use among older adults in Japan. The findings could help improve the health of individuals by providing social support and effectively managing the growing demand for ambulances.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted as part of the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. In December 2019 and January 2020, we collaborated with individuals aged 65 years or above with no long-term care needs. A total of 24,581 participants were included in the analysis. The objective and explanatory variables were ambulance use and social support, respectively. Binomial regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results
Social support was associated with ambulance use. People who had no one to listen to their complaints or worries were significantly more likely to use ambulance services than those who did (OR [95% CI] = 1.26 [1.03–1.53]). People with no one to take care of them when they were ill were also significantly more likely to use ambulance services than those who had someone to provide care (1.15 [1.01–1.31]). Moreover, the results of binomial logistic regression analysis indicated that individuals who called an ambulance but were not hospitalized had significantly lower social support compared to those who did not call an ambulance.
Conclusions
The results suggest that the presence and quality of social support play a significant role in ambulance use among older adults in Japan. Our findings can help policymakers to plan and implement strategies for reducing the burden on emergency medical care.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background: The current COVID-19 pandemic has created several problems related to the reproductive system in women, especially menstrual disorders. Changes that occur in the cycle, volume, and duration of menstruation can raise important issues, because they are indicators of the level of decline in a woman's fertility. Changes that occur in the menstrual cycle can cause reproductive problems in women, one example is fertility disorders. Considering that research on this matter is still minimal in Indonesia, the authors intend to carry out a scientific investigation of this phenomenon, so that people can better understand the impact of COVID-19 infection on the reproductive system, especially on disorders that can arise during menstruation.
Method: This study used a cross-sectional study of 198 respondents that meet the research criteria.
Results: Of the 198 respondents with inclusion criteria, it was found that 75 (37.9%) female students did not experience menstrual disorders after being infected with COVID-19 while 123 (62.1%) other female students experienced menstrual disorders. With 89 (28.7%) experiencing menstrual duration disturbances, 67 (21.6%) menstrual volume disturbances, 32 (10.3%) frequency disturbances, 32 (16.16%) menstrual regularity disturbances, 44 (14.2%) menstrual cessation disorders, and 78 (25.2%) menstrual pain disorders. Based on the Chi Square test, a p value of 0.592 was obtained so that the P Value was > 0.05 and showed that there was no relationship between COVID-19 infection and menstrual disorders.
Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between menstrual disorders and COVID-19 infection in UPH Faculty of Medicine and Nursing students
