Authors: Paramurthi I.A. Pascha , Suparwati Komang Tri Adi , Prianthara I Made Dhita , Yuliana I Wayan Aris 
Published: November 2023

Aging is identical with decreased functional abilities, such as prolonged standing, walking, squatting, running, or other activities. These decreases in functional ability can be caused by a degenerative disease, namely osteoarthritis (OA) genu resulting in a limited motion in the knee joint caused by a decrease in range of motion. Treatments for OA Genu cases include leg extension exercise and static bike exercise to maintain and to increase the range of motion (ROM) of knee joints. This study was a Quasi Experimental study. The study lasted for five weeks from May-June. The sample of this study were 24 people. The results of the study found that the ability to movement extension and knee flexion in both groups increased. Both groups obtained p value = 0.625 for extension and p value = 0.062 for flexion. The p value of extension and flexion is p0.05. Results showed that, after the intervention in both groups, the osteoarthritis patients at Siloam Hospitals Bali had improved flexion ROM and knee extension. Based on the difference value before and after treatment, the percentage increase in range of motion extension and flexion in the static bike group was slightly higher than the leg extension exercise group. It concludes that leg extension exercise and static bike exercise are equally good in increasing ROM of osteoarthritis patients. Leg extension exercises and static bike exercise can be used as alternative exercises to improve the ability to bend and to straighten knee joints experiencing limitations or stiffness.

Maternal and perinatal outcomes, and associated factors in isolated borderline oligohydramnios: a cross-sectional analytical study
Authors: S. Roshini , Gayathri  
Published: November 2023

Background: Borderline oligohydramnios is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. This study aimed to assess the impact of borderline oligohydramnios on maternal and perinatal outcomes, focusing on mode of delivery, fetal distress, neonatal morbidity, and NICU admissions.
Methods: A cross sectional analytical study comprising 80 antenatal mothers (≥34 weeks) with borderline oligohydramnios was conducted at an Indian hospital. Data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire and case record reviews. Maternal and perinatal outcomes were analyzed, including mode of onset and delivery, Apgar scores, NICU admissions, and neonatal morbidity.
Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants was 24.5 (2.1) years. Induced labor was prevalent (41%), with 7% of infants experiencing neonatal morbidity, mainly meconium aspiration and neonatal sepsis. About 60% (n=40) delivered a baby between a weight 2.5 to 3 kg, 63% (n=50) had APGAR score more than 7, 34% (n=27) admitted to neonatal intensive care units, and the main reason for NICU admission was fetal distress (n=44.4%). The reason for neonatal morbidity was meconium aspiration (5%) followed by neonatal sepsis (2.5%). Non-reassuring NST and amniotic fluid nature significantly correlated with NICU admissions, while age and AFI influenced delivery mode.
Conclusions: Borderline oligohydramnios led to a high rate of induced labor, yet neonatal morbidity was relatively low. Non-reassuring NST and amniotic fluid nature significantly impacted NICU admissions. Further research on a larger scale is warranted to validate these findings for widespread implementation.

Published: November 2023

Background: Non-verbal communication is generally defined as the aspect of communication that is not expressed in words. Through the use of non-verbal communication, teachers can draw student’s attention to more understanding and motivate students, and even bring excitement to the boredom students. Effective communication improves patient satisfaction. The objectives were to assess and to compare non-verbal communication skills among medical teaching staff and the students.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2022 to August 2022 in an educational institution. The data was collected using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was downloaded from Questmeraki website. The questions on non-verbal communication skills were quantified on a five-point Likert scale. The participants scores were categorized and compared.
Results: As per the scores scored for non-verbal communication skills, among the teaching staff, 85.7% scored good score, and 14.3% scored excellent. Among the students, 82.1 scored good score, and 14.5% scored excellent. Though the teaching staff scored better than the students, the difference was not significant (p=0.068).
Conclusions: It is necessary for the teaching staff and the students to practice and learn effective communication skills, so that, it helps in successful interaction with the students and the patients, and among themselves.
THE COMPLETE NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE OF THE GENOMIC RNA OF BEAN COMMON MOSAIC VIRUS STRAIN NL4
Authors: Bravo Enrique , Calvert Lee A. , Morales Francisco J. 
Published: November 2023

The complete nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of the NL4 strain of Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV-NL4) was determined. The viral genome is 10037 nucleotides in length, excluding the 3’ terminal poly (A) tail, and contains a single open reading frame (ORF) of 9666 nucleotides encoding a polyprotein of 3222 amino acids. The ORF is flanked by 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs) of 133 and 235 nucleotides, respectively. Comparative analyses of the predicted BCMV-NL4 polyprotein with other species of the genus Potyvirus revealed nine cleavage sites resulting in ten functional proteins. Nucleotide and amino acid sequence identities indicated a close relationship between BCMV-NL4 and BCMV-NL1. Blast comparisons using coat protein (CP) and 3’UTR sequences showed 100% identity between BCMV-NL4 and the Mexican variant (US6) of this strain.

Published: November 2023

We present new distribution records of birds from Ecuador that have been evaluated by the Committee for Ecuadorian Records in Ornithology (CERO) between October 2019 and November 2021. We incorporate records of three new species in the national list: Hydrocoloeus minutus and Pterodroma externa from Galapagos, and Tachycineta leucorrhoa from mainland Ecuador. In addition, we include documented records of rare or infrequent species in mainland Ecuador, the Galapagos archipelago and the country’s territorial sea, which include seven species considered hypothetical, rare, and erratic throughout Ecuador: Netta erythrophthalma, Limnodromus scolopaceus, Pluvialis fulva, Chroicocephalus philadelphia, Spheniscus humboldti, Egretta rufescens, and Tyrannus dominicensis. We present the first documentation of two species in Ecuadorian territory, Numenius americanus and Macronectes halli from the mainland and territorial sea, respectively. In addition, we include 16 species considered hypothetical or accidental in Galapagos: Sarkidiornis sylvicola, Spatula clypeata, Phoenicopterus chilensis, Fulica americana, Limosa fedoa, Calidris canutus, Calidris subruficollis, Stercorarius parasiticus, Larus belcheri, Pelagodroma marina, Ardenna creatopus, Butorides virescens, Petrochelidon pyrrhonota, Catharus ustulatus, Quiscalus mexicanus, and Parkesia noveboracensis. We also include notable records for both the mainland and Galapagos of Spatula cyanoptera, Thalasseus sandvicensis, Neocrex erythrops, Sula leucogaster, Ardea herodias, Butorides virescens, Buteo swainsoni, Pipreola jucunda, Protonotaria citrea, Geothlypis philadelphia, and Cacicus latirostris. Finally, we validated distributional expansions of nine species: Dendrocygna autumnalis, Cairina moschata, Sarkidiornis sylvicola, Anas georgica, Aramus guarauna, Attagis gayi, Nycticorax nycticorax, Eudocimus ruber, and Paroaria gularis. Likewise, we evaluated 12 records that were not accepted based on erroneous identifications and 5 records whose acceptance was postponed because of insufficient descriptive support. Lastly, we discuss records of Aix galericulata and Spheniscus magellanicus, both correctly identified and well documented, but possibly originated by human intervention. After this review and update by CERO, the national list of birds of Ecuador totals 1722 species: 1673 confirmed documented with evidence and 49 species that still require solid voucher evidence.

Published: November 2023

Background: The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of reactions caused by blood donations in Iran as well as exploring three potential scenarios of the worst, moderate, and the best situations for adverse reactions among Iranian blood donations by specifying the under-reporting rate.
Methods: There are two different designs; first, the ecological study was coducted to estimate the blood donation adverse effects by using the data registered in the donor vigilance part of Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization (IBTO). Second, the cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate under-reporting in the data. For the cross-sectional study, 2408 donors were selected randomly in three cities.
Results: In general, based on the estimations of this study, adverse reactions to blood donation in Iran is 2%(CI 95%, 1.4-2.6%). Local and systemic reactions estimated are 1.7%(CI 95%, 1.2-2.2) and 0.3%(0.1-0.5), respectively. Based on the national report, in general, adverse reactions to blood donation in Iran is 0.5(CI 95% 0.4-0.6). Local and systemic reactions estimated are 0.38%(CI 95% 0.28-0.48) and 0.03%(0.0.02-0.04), respectively.
Conclusion: Adverse reactions may vary from region to region in Iran, but in total, there is a lot of under-reporting in the incidence of adverse reactions to blood donation in Iran, most of which are related to local reactions.

Authors: Paknia Babak , Rafiei Mohammad , Khorsandi Mahboobeh , Ramezani Ghobad 
Published: November 2023

Background: Background: The blended electronic learning system, raised as a new approach in educational planning with great enthusiasm, seeks novel ways to properly combine the media; however, the sequence of in-person and distance educational methods is an issue neglected so far. This study aims to compare the effect of the sequence of blended workshop learning and web-based learning on the learning level of biostatistics in students who were members of the Student Research Committee at Arak University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with an alternative treatment design. The statistical population consisted of the students who were members of the Student Research Committee of the university, including 38 medical students and 15 health students, who were selected through census sampling due to their limited number. The data were selected with 2 questionnaires: demographic characteristics and biostatistics multiple-choice questions to assess learning of statistical concepts in three levels of literacy, reasoning, and thinking. The validity and reliability of the translated statistics questions were assessed through content validity and bisection, respectively. The data were analyzed in SPSS-16 through independent and paired t-tests and analysis of variance.
Results: The results showed a statistical difference between the groups in both faculties in statistical literacy and reasoning in blended learning (p>0.05). However, regarding statistical thinking, the difference was significant in the health faculty (p=0.044) and insignificant in the medical school (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Given the statistical difference observed in the health group, we suggest holding in-person courses at first and online courses then.

Published: November 2023

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the psy-chometric properties of a Persian version of the Adolescent Leisure Interest Profile (ALIP) in Persian-speaking adolescents with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
Methods: Thirty adolescents with CP participated. The test-retest reliability, construct validity of the ALIP with the Children’s Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE), and discriminative validity were examined.
Results: There were no floor and ceiling effects. Test-retest reliability of the Persian version of the ALIP for the total scores ranged from 0.69-0.94. Cronbach alpha for internal consistency of the Persian ALIP was obtained 0.98. Evidence for construct validity was found with significant correlations between the ALIP and the CAPE domains (r=-0.45-0.69). The standard error of measurement and the smallest detectable change values were 0.08-8.22 and 0.22-22.87, respectively.
Conclusion: The Persian version of the Adolescent Leisure Interest Profile is a useful tool for measuring leisure activities in Persian-speaking adolescents with CP.
Rotas epistemológicas para pluri-versar a universidade
Authors: Carreiro Gabriela da Nóbrega , Palhano Tânia Rodrigues 
Published: November 2023

Este ensaio tem como objetivo propor reflexões a partir de rotas epistemológicas não hegemônicas para compreendermos as relações coloniais que ainda se fazem presentes nos espaços de formação, nos centros universitários brasileiros, desdobradas nos seus currículos e epistemes. Tratamos de situar o debate em torno das colonialidades que intercruzam os moldes acadêmicos de formação, produção e legitimação de conhecimento, endossando a crítica ao modelo epistêmico hegemônico, universalista, cristão, euro-androcentrado e monodiscursivo que impõe, silencia e exclui outras narrativas, outras epistemes. Compreendendo que as Instituições de Ensino Superior no Brasil (IES) tem como função social formar sujeitos para a vida em sociedade e trabalho, através da produção e difusão de conhecimentos, enfatizamos a importância do alargamento das concepções epistemológicas que fundam esses centros do saber. Desse modo atentamos para a potencialidade do projeto descolonizador e pluriversal como premissa para a necessária justiça social e reparação com aquelas/es que empreendem diariamente, por séculos, a luta e resistência pela memória e narrativas de seus povos. Perpassando por conceitos como espistemicídeo, injustiça epistêmica, violência epistêmica e opressão epistêmica buscamos criar rotas outras, baseadas na Pedagogia Engajada e na Pedagogia Decolonial, para potencializarmos outras concepções de educação, de formação, de currículo.

La inteligencia artificial y la escritura de artículos científicos

La Inteligencia Artificial (IA), busca simular los procesos de la inteligencia humana, tales como: la adquisición de información y reglas para su uso (aprendizaje), el uso de reglas para llegar a conclusiones aproximadas o definitivas (razonamiento) y la autocorrección. La IA es una tecnología de gran impacto en la actualidad, gracias a los avances en informática y computación que permiten la captura, procesamiento y almacenamiento a gran velocidad, de cantidades de información que hasta hace poco eran impensables.
Las herramientas basadas en IA permiten la generación de textos, imágenes, audios y videos, a partir de una serie de comandos brindados por el usuario. En este sentido, la IA se utiliza en áreas tan disímiles como la economía, la educación y la salud, por mencionar algunas, ya que sus herramientas permiten agilizar aquellas actividades que involucran el procesamiento de grandes volúmenes de información, con resultados bastante satisfactorios.
La escritura de artículos científicos también está siendo impactada por los sistemas de IA, ya que pueden analizar grandes cantidades de información, identificar patrones de comportamiento y generar ideas para el desarrollo de un texto académico, lo cual facilita la labor de los investigadores.
Aunque no existe consenso total, entre las aplicaciones de IA que son aceptables en la redacción científica, se tienen aquellas que proporcionan sugerencias de vocabulario, estructura de párrafos y citas bibliográficas. Es decir, se aceptan herramientas que, a partir del contenido original del autor, permiten producir textos más claros y coherentes, a través de la detección de errores gramaticales y de estilo, lo cual contribuye a mejorar la calidad de los escritos académicos.
No obstante, los autores deben considerar que la inteligencia artificial no debe reemplazar el pensamiento crítico y la creatividad propios de la redacción de textos académicos, sino que debe utilizarse como una herramienta complementaria para mejorar y enriquecer los procesos escriturales.
En el presente fascículo, Vol. 13 No. 2, se incluyen doce artículos, los cuales invitamos a consultar y utilizar en sus trabajos académicos. Asimismo, se invita a los interesados en publicar los resultados de sus trabajos de investigación, a que envíen sus manuscritos a la revista. Los requisitos de forma se pueden consultar en nuestra página WEB, en el apartado de instrucciones para los autores, los cuales deben ser atendidos escrupulosamente para reducir los tiempos de evaluación.

Validation of a questionary for measuring corbicular pollen consumer preferences via structural equations models
Authors: Cepeda-Araque Carmen Helena , Cárdenas-Ojeda Sandra Patricia , Alarcón-Guarín Reinaldo , Martínez-Niño Carlos Alberto 
Published: November 2023

Boyacá is one of the main bee pollen (or corbicular pollen) producers in Colombia. However, pollen consumer preferences in this region are unknown; therefore, there is no background to develop marketing strategies aiming at profiting beekeepers and consumers. This study presents the design and statistical validation of a questionary to assess the preferences of bee pollen consumers and the model that supports the relationships between the constructs characterizing them. Model development was based on the premise that pollen quality perception affects consumer satisfaction. To test this premise, a reflexive measure model was used to design the Pollen Preferences Determination Questionary (PPDQ). Data from a pilot sample were used to evaluate the measure and structural models via structural equations models fitted through partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed the validity of the PPDQ since the indicators load its constructs appropriately, particularly for satisfaction and intrinsic quality.
The surgical management of frontal branch of the facial nerve injuries
Authors: Nordin Mohamad Nazmi , Pescarini Elena , Kannan Ruben Yap 
Published: November 2023

Aim: The frontal branch of the facial nerve is particularly vulnerable to traumatic injury or during surgery. While the larger branches of the facial nerve, such as the buccal branch, are more easily identifiable and amenable to repair, the repair of the frontal branch is not common due to its complex branching pattern and smaller size. The description of the surgical approach to repair the frontal branch of the facial nerve is limited in the literature. In this study, we aim to explore the outcomes of patients who underwent frontal branch facial nerve repair in our centre.
Method: In a retrospective case review at a single, tertiary Plastic Surgery centre, we performed frontal branch repair for eight patients (n = 8) who sustained complete or partial division of the frontal branch of the facial nerves. These patients were followed up postoperatively and assessed with the Sunnybrook Facial Grading System.
Results: Using super microsurgical techniques, primary nerve coaptations, fascicular nerve flaps, and direct neurotisations were performed. All eight patients (100%) demonstrated improvements in terms of resting brow symmetry. There was a significant improvement in brow and frontalis function following surgical repair of the frontal branch, with 87.5% (seven patients) demonstrating improvement in forehead movement.
Conclusion: In this case series, we demonstrated that the repair of the frontal branch of the facial nerve is relevant, with reasonably good functional outcomes. Repair of the frontal branch of the facial nerve should ideally be done as early as possible following the injury. Nevertheless, delayed repair may still be beneficial within 18 months after the injury.
