Authors: Marigo Paola , Woitke Peter , Tognelli Emanuele , Girardi Léo , Aringer Bernhard , Bressan Alessandro 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In this study we compute the equation of state and Rosseland mean opacity from temperatures of T ≃ 30,000 K down to T ≃ 400 K, pushing the capabilities of the ÆSOPUS code into the regime where solid grains can form. The GGchem code is used to solve the chemistry for temperatures less than ≃3000 K. Atoms, molecules, and dust grains in thermodynamic equilibrium are all included in the equation of state. To incorporate monochromatic atomic and molecular cross sections, an optimized opacity sampling technique is used. The Mie theory is employed to calculate the opacity of 43 grain species. Tables of Rosseland mean opacities for scaled-solar compositions are provided. Based on our computing resources, opacities for other chemical patterns, as well as various grain sizes, porosities, and shapes, can be easily computed upon user request to the corresponding author.
Suprathermal Population Associated with Stream Interaction Regions Observed by STEREO-A: New Insights
Authors: Dalal Bijoy , Chakrabarty Dibyendu , Srivastava Nandita , Sarkar Aveek 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Stream interaction regions (SIRs) are often thought to be responsible for the generation of suprathermal population in the interplanetary medium. Even though the source is the same, wide variations in the spectral indices of suprathermal populations are observed at 1 au during SIRs. This poses a significant uncertainty in understanding the generation of suprathermal ion populations by SIRs and indicates an interplay of multiple source mechanisms. By analyzing variations in suprathermal 4He, O, and Fe for 20 SIR events recorded by STEREO-A during 2007–2014, we find that the spectral indices of these elements vary in the range of 2.06–4.08, 1.85–4.56, and 2.11–4.04 for 19 events. However, in one special case, all three suprathermal elements show nearly identical (∼1.5) spectral indices. We describe possible mechanisms that might cause significant variations in the spectral indices of suprathermal particles. More importantly, we show the possible role of merging and/or contraction of small-scale magnetic islands near 1 au in producing nearly identical spectral indices for three different elements with different first ionization potentials and mass-to-charge ratios. The occurrence of these magnetic islands near 1 au also supports the minimal modulation in the spectral indices of these particles. We also suggest that a possible solar flare may have played a role in generating these magnetic islands near the heliospheric current sheet.

Abstract
We introduce the Wide-field Retrieval of Astrodata Program (WRAP), a tool created to aid astronomers in gathering photometric and astrometric data for point sources that may confuse simple cross-matching algorithms because of their faintness or motion. WRAP allows astronomers to correctly cross-identify objects with proper motion across multiple surveys by wedding the catalog data with its underlying images, thus providing visual confirmation of cross-associations in real time. Developed within the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project, WRAP aims to aid in the characterization of faint, high motion sources by this collaboration (and others).
Le corps-contact au service de la délicatesse du vivant
Authors: Rousseau Bruno 
Published: December 2023

La délicatesse, sur une Terre qui subit le dérèglement climatique, l’effondrement de la biodiversité et les crises sociales associées, ne commence-t-elle pas par une reconnexion à « la nature », à partir du corps en mouvement, du corps vécu, du « corps-contact » ? Partant des apports de la phénoménologie de Merleau-Ponty, comment nous appuyer sur cette pratique dans nos accompagnements ? Le « corps-contact » peut favoriser une alliance de l’écologie et de la gestalt, en permettant une rencontre incarnée entre humains et non humains.

Authors: Mali Tanisha Sunil , Yadav Trupti 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background:
Overuse of phones can lead to physiological health hazards. The repeated use of vibration mode leads to fake perception of device being vibrating when it is not. Tactile hallucination of phone vibration is a prevalent phenomenon among young individuals. Theories explaining the possibility of the phenomenon are proven through researchers.

Design:
The study was a cross-sectional survey in design.

Participants:
Two hundred and four individuals responded to the questionnaire.

Material and Methods:
An electronic survey consisting of 12 questions based on demographic, mobile usage hours, and frequency of phantom vibrations experienced. An online questionnaire was used for the study. It is known as the Phantom Vibration Scale or phantom vibration questionnaire which was taken from an article (reference 9). The questionnaire was formed on Google Forms application and was circulated on WhatsApp in the form of a link through a smartphone. It consisted of 11 questions. The questions were brief and are easy to understand as it is supposed to cover a large population. The population selected was healthy without any neurological or psychological problem. The questionnaire consisted of questions on the duration of phone usage in a day, to know the risk of tactile hallucination in them. It had questions on whether they experience tactile hallucinations and information about its frequency and intensity.

Results:
Two hundred and four responses were received, out of that 68% experienced tactile hallucinations. Those who experienced hallucinations, were further observed for different characteristics presented. Nearly 88% possessed a smartphone for more than a year. Respondents were asked about the phone usage hours and the majority used it for 3–5 h daily. Social media are a known addiction of phone and the survey showed that 55% of the respondents used phones to scroll social media. The next factor which is vibration mode of the phone was used by 17% of the people always. About 29% used it for most of the time. About the placement, while carrying of phone, it showed that 69% always carried phone in their jean front pocket. Furthermore, 42% of the participants found those vibrations to be bothersome. Nearly 21% had the hallucinations so severe that they felt it when the phone was switched off.

Conclusions:
More than half of the people on this planet carry smartphone and most use it on vibration mode. Even if one-third of them experience hallucinations, a planned treatment is required for this.

Authors: Amin Ulfat , Malla Adil Mudasir , Amin Ishrat , Jan Roohi 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The context and purpose of the study. Substance abuse is a serious public health concern that affects the millions of people worldwide. It refers to the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including drugs and alcohol, that can lead to various health problems, such as addiction, mental health disorders, and physical illness. Alcohol, nicotine, and other illicit drugs are frequently used in excess in substance use disorders, which can impair social, academic, and professional functioning. Cannabis, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, inhalants, opioids, hallucinogens, and stimulants are the most abused drugs. Throughout human history, substance abuse has been a complex public health issue. The two main approaches frequently used to address the issue of substance abuse are risk factors and treatment modalities. They relate to the various fields of genetic inheritance, physiology, cognitive science, parents, social development, and cultural structures. One of the main issues with public health in today’s culture is drug misuse. Recently, there has been an upsurge in the prevalence of drug usage, especially opioid abuse, worldwide and in Kashmir. This review paper points to a complicated interplay between various variables that affect teenage drug usage. It also describes the different risk factors leading to substance abuse and the various behavioral therapies for substance use disorders that may enhance patient results. As a result, intensive effort across all the levels of domains will be needed to create programmes that prevent teenage substance misuse.
Experiences and Perspectives of Student Nurses Toward Volunteerism during Health Emergencies: A Systematic Review
Authors: Prashar Pradeepti , Sharma Dinesh Kumar , Mohinder Bandana , Kumari Santosh 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The paper discusses how volunteerism, especially among nursing students, helps solve health crises. The study emphasizes community preparedness and volunteers’ unique role in supporting healthcare professionals during crises. Volunteers seek out opportunities to help, unlike emergency responders. Nursing students, a major employment source, are shown to be capable of first aid and emotional support. The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the unprecedented need for volunteers. Research shows that nursing students worldwide are willing to help in health emergencies. Professional ethics, humanity, and learning motivate. Self-care issues, system support issues, and psychological impacts are obstacles. The study uses a mixed-methods technique and the PRISMA framework to examine nursing students’ health crisis volunteering experiences, goals, and perceptions. The data show volunteer nursing students’ pleasures and problems. Although volunteering is rewarding, worries about self-care, family well-being, and psychological effects arise. Emotional stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, sleep difficulties, guilt, and a lack of support affect nursing students’ mental health. Witnessing and experiencing health emergencies can cause emotional stress, highlighting the need for personalized solutions. The report recommends cash incentives, extensive training, and explicit protocols to increase student volunteering. Nursing students can safely volunteer in high-stress situations by recognizing and addressing the mental health risks and providing support and tools. The article recommends a holistic approach to volunteerism that recognizes its benefits and promotes the mental health and well-being of motivated nursing students. Nursing students helping in health emergencies need sufficient training, psychological support, and self-care to protect their mental health, according to the study. Providing support, shifting schedules, and understanding the emotional toll of employment are vital. Nursing schools should include emergency response training to prepare students for pandemic leadership.

Authors: Jyothi S. Veera , Lokhande Rajeshree , Thomas Chris 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background:
A broad understanding of patient’s mental health problem is important to deliver effective and patient-centered mental health interventions. Patients with mental illness feel frustrated when they will not be listened by the health professional. People living with mental illness have different problems which are unheard by the society because of various stereotypes regarding mental illness.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to describe the experience of the patient living with mental illness.

Methodology:
The research approach used was qualitative and the research design was hermeneutic phenomenological design. With the help of purposive sampling technique, the data were collected from 20 patients through the interview technique.

Results:
The study results were described into three emergent themes such as patient’s perception about the cause of their mental illness, patient’s experience of their symptoms, and patient’s understanding of their positive and negative experiences of their treatment.

Conclusion:
The study indicated that mentally ill persons experience many changes in their lives but manage to develop coping skills. Patients had both positive and negative experiences while living with mental illness. The experience of stigma and discrimination, dependence on prescribe medication and its related side effects, loss, and fear, all contributed to the hazy reality of living with mental illness.

Abstract

Introduction:
The purpose of this study is to determine the perceptions of nurses who had COVID-19 disease and recovered and who were not sick through metaphors.

Materials and Methods:
This study was carried out with 50 nurses who were recovered from COVID-19 disease and 50 nurses who were not sick during the pandemic process who were working as nurses in a university hospital 3 months after the first wave of pandemics started in Turkey. The study is the qualitative research, which is as data collection technique, metaphors were used. The data collection form consists of six questions containing personal information and one metaphor question. The metaphors developed by nurses regarding the “COVID-19 disease” and the common features of these metaphors were tried to be determined. The content analysis was made.

Results:
It was determined that the answers given by the nurses were total of 75 metaphors in seven categories. It was determined that all of the metaphorical perceptions of the nurses regarding the “COVID-19 disease” were negative metaphoric perceptions, and the meanings of the metaphors that were seen as positive metaphors such as marriage, friend, life partner, love, hope under the emotions main theme, and relationship/moods sub-theme were negative when the content was examined.

Conclusion:
The results show that the metaphors expressed by the nurses include pessimism and negativity. This study reflects the ideas of nurses working with all their strength during the COVID-19 pandemic and puts forth the psychological state of nurses.
A case study on recurrent giant cell tumor of distal end radius
Authors: Rathore Pankaj , Garg Sahil 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background:
Based on location distal end radius is the second most common for giant cell tumors (GCTs) followed by the knee. Like at any other location, they are treated with extended curettage or resection but reports of recurrence are increasingly coming up. In this study, we aim to treat the recurrent distal end radius GCTs and their outcome after Index surgeries.

Materials and Methods:
This case report was done in the year 2022–2023 on a patient with recurrent distal end radius GCT of age of 30 years. Recurrence had occurred after curettage and even after resection as index surgery. The recurrent lesion was treated with resection, excisional biopsy, fibula strut grafting, and wrist arthrodesis. The follow-up period was 12 months.

Results:
In various studies, when the patients with joint preservation were treated with curettage and those with resection of soft tissue recurrences were done with salvage of joint had better functional outcomes with a mean musculoskeletal tumor society (MSTS) score. In our case with arthrodesis using fibular strut grafting had a low MSTS score. The overall functional outcome was satisfactory.

Conclusions:
We conclude that local recurrence of GCT after curettage in long bones if contained within the bone and/or extending into the soft tissue, can be successfully treated with further more extensive surgery in an attempt to obtain wide margins with minimal risk of increased morbidity. It does increase some morbidity but there is significant gain with respect to the cure of the disease.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Globally, more than 40% of pregnant women experience acute obstetric problems and a large burden of it is shared by India. Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness (BPCR) strategy is used to addresses these problems by encouraging women and communities to effectively plan for births, deal with birth emergencies.

Objective:
This study was conducted to assess the status of birth preparedness and complication readiness and to find out the factors associated with inadequate BPCR among pregnant woman in a rural area of West Bengal.

Methodology:
Institution based, observational study with cross-sectional design was conducted from January 2019 to September 2020 among pregnant women, attending antenatal care clinics in Singur block, Hooghly district West Bengal. Sample size was 272. Participants were chosen by systematic random sampling. Response rate was 94.5% (257). Data were collected using a predesigned pretested schedule and analyzed using Microsoft Excel version 2016 and SPSS version 16.0.

Results:
Overall, 60.3% mothers had inadequate BPCR. 66.1% mothers had poor BPCR knowledge and 72.8% mothers had poor BPCR practice. In multivariable logistic regression model, the odds of maternal morbidity [AOR = 2.03 (1.14 –3.62), P value = 0.16], ≤4 No. of ANC visits [AOR = 10.96 (4.82–22.9), P value = 0.001], first trimester USG [OR = 12.53 (5.8–24.5), P value = 0.001] showed significance with inadequate BPCR.

Conclusion:
Glimpse of BPCR is seen in government programmes like Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) and Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakaram (JSSK). Yet a big void exists among Indian pregnant women’s knowledge and practice of BPCR. Thus, there is a need to include BPCR in health care system to improve outcomes for pregnant women.

Authors: Sanni Usman A. , Lawal Taslim O. , Ile-Ogedengbe Bruno O. , Olayemi Lukman A. 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Globally, animal bites are a major source of morbidity and mortality. However, camel bites are relatively rare in the medical literature. Whenever such bites occur, adults are mainly affected. Cases are exceedingly rare in children. We report a case of a camel bite in a male child.

Case Presentation:
The patient was an 11-year-old boy who presented to the Emergency Department of our facility 10 h after being bitten on his cheeks by a camel. The injury occurred while the patient was trying to feed the camel that strongly gripped the patient’s face between its jaws leading to multiple facial injuries. He was co-managed by the pediatric and maxillofacial teams. He did well and was discharged home after 10 days of admission.

Conclusion:
Camels are potential causes of serious injuries for children in this part of the country. Efforts should be made to prevent such injuries, which have the potential of being infected with tetanus and rabies in addition to disrupting school attendance. Public education about the proper and compassionate handling of domestic animals should be carried out.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
To keep uniformity and to achieve standardization of thyroid cytopathology reporting National Cancer Institute proposed six tier diagnostic classification system named The Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology (TBSRTC) that represents a major step toward standardization, reproducibility, and ultimately improved clinical significance, usefulness, and predictive value of thyroid Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The guidelines were formulated in 2007 and revised in 2017.

Material and Methods:
The present study was performed at between January 2015 and June 2019, on thyroid FNA classifying them according to TBSRTC. Cytology and histopathology correlation were done where ever available. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of TBSRTC were calculated considering histopathology as gold standard. The malignancy risk for each category was calculated and the result was tabulated.

Results:
In the present study, total of 1248 cytology cases of thyroid were studied, out of them 1% were non diagnostic, 91.3% were benign, 1.5% were atypical lesions of undetermined significance (AUS). About 4% were follicular neoplasm (FN), 0.4 was suspicious for malignancy (SM), and 1.8% were malignant. A total of 179 cases were available for cytology and histopathology correlation and risk of malignancy (ROM) was calculated. No histopathology cases were available in category I for correlation, ROM was 4.7% in benign category, 46.2% in AUS category, 50% in SFN/FN, 100% in SM, and 85.7% in malignant category. TBSRTC showed sensitivity of 66.7%, specificity of 90.9%, PPV of 64.8%, NPV of 91.5%, and accuracy of 86.03%.

Conclusion:
TBSRTC improves perceptions of diagnostic terminology between cytopathologists and clinicians, prevent over diagnosis and helps in better patient management approaches. It should be included in all FNAC of thyroid reporting system.
Introduction of Team-Based Learning Strategy for Teaching Medicine to Undergraduate Medical Students in a North Indian Medical College
Authors: Mohan Charu , Nair Bindu T. , Rath Deepak 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Newer methods of teaching which are student centered and using “active learning” techniques are being explored with a broader goal of application of knowledge than only acquisition of knowledge. This study is an effort to explore the use of one such active instructional strategy – team-based learning (TBL) to promote better education.

Materials and Methods:
The project was carried out in the Department of Medicine, Army College of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Participants included the 2nd year MBBS students of 2015 Batch. One week prior to the study, the students were sensitized and were divided into seven teams. The first step was preclass preparation (learning resources for guidance given by the faculty), followed by Individual Readiness Assurance Test (IRAT) by MCQs. The final step was discussion of these questions as a team and scoring in the Group Readiness Assurance Test (GRAT). At the end of session, the students were given a feedback questionnaire to obtain their perceptions, attitudes, and acceptance of the TBL method.

Results:
A total of 56 MBBS students participated in the study. The scores obtained by GRAT were significantly better compared to IRAT. Furthermore, 83% of students reported that solving real-life clinical scenario questions helped more in retention of knowledge than by didactic lectures. TBL classes were acceptable and desired by 67.9% for future. However, 71.4% preferred the mixed method of both didactic lectures and TBL sessions.

Conclusion:
The study concluded that TBL is viewed favorably by medical students. It encouraged active participation of the students in group discussions resulting in improved performance in the class. However, a combination of traditional didactic lectures and TBL was preferred to didactic lectures or TBL alone by the students.
