Examination of Treatment Options According to Clinical Features and Radiological Findings in Wake-up Stroke
Authors: EKMEKYAPAR Tuba , DEMİR AYDIN Seval 
Published: October 2023

Aim: Wake-up stroke patients account for one-fifth of all ischemic stroke patients and they have been deprived of recanalization treatment as the onset of the stroke is not known. It has come into the focus of recent research that this treatment could be applied to particularly patients who are selected on a radiological basis. We aimed to examine clinical and demographic characteristics of wake-up strokes.
Material and Methods: All ischemic stroke patients who presented to the emergency service throughout the night were analyzed. Patients with wake up stroke were recorded. The time of finding these patients, clinical features, treatment options and mortality status of these patients were examined. It was examined whether they received intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), endovascular therapy (EVT), or both as acute reperfusion therapy.
Results: Age, gender, the last time when they were seen healthy, treatment start time, treatment types, clinical classification, comorbid diseases, and discharge status of 72 wake-up stroke patients were analyzed. It was found that the time of discovery of 51.4% (n=37) of the wake-up stroke patients was 06.00 am and afterwards. Of these patients, 15.3% (n=11) received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and/or endovascular treatment. These patients’ hospital stay durations, intracerebral hemorrhage status following the procedure, NIHSS scores, angiography findings, and mortality rates were examined. Here, mortality rate was found to be significantly high especially in patients with high NIHSS score.
Conclusion: Wake-up stroke is more common in the period close to the time of waking up in the morning. Recanylazation therapy should always be considered as an option in these patients.

Due to its complex geological history and the emergence of various biogeographic regions, the Philippines boasts an extraordinary array of flora and fauna. This unique combination has contributed to the country’s exceptional density of terrestrial species, making it amongst the highest in the world. Mindanao, in the southern part of the Philippines, is the second largest group of islands and supports high levels of endemism and proportion of threatened species. However, consolidated biodiversity records and information remain unavailable for the region. The primary goal of the Mindanao Open Biodiversity Information (MOBIOS+) database is to address these substantial data deficiencies by compiling contemporary biodiversity information from the 21st century. This initiative seeks to enhance our comprehension of biodiversity trends in Mindanao over temporal and spatial dimensions, while also creating an openly-accessible database. The database we present here is the first of its kind and currently the most comprehensive attempt to establish the largest consolidated database for Mindanao biodiversity, based on publicly available literature. With its vast collection of biodiversity data, this database will prove to be a valuable resource for advancing biodiversity research and analysis. It will further facilitate the identification of species and areas that require immediate conservation prioritisation and action, addressing the urgent challenges posed by our rapidly changing planet.
The MOBIOS+ database is the first attempt to create a massive FAIR database aiming to collate biodiversity records from published literature in the Mindanao faunal region, south of the Philippines. The database currently includes 12,813 georeferenced specimen occurrences representing 1,907 unique taxa across 10 animal classes inhabiting the terrestrial and freshwater environments of Mindanao faunal region. We made all georeferenced specimen occurrences available in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) platform.

Published: October 2023

Background:
Due to the dearth of literature regarding teaching racism in health care and the commitment of nursing organizations to address racism in health care, this project examined nursing students' perceptions of racism in nursing and health care to identify effective teaching strategies for addressing racism in curricula.

Method:
This study used a mixed-methods pre- and postintervention design to examine multiple methods of teaching nursing students about racism in health care. Frequencies, descriptive statistics, and content analysis were used to analyze data.

Results:
Sixty-six graduate and undergraduate students participated in the study. Mean responses on a postintervention survey increased for all but one item. Content analysis of student-guided reflective journal entries yielded four themes: uncomfortable topic yet necessary to discuss, new awareness, courage to advocate, and application to practice.

Conclusion:

Effective teaching methods to address this issue include open discussions, storytelling, and case studies.

Sublethal effects of fenoxycarb on female reproduction in Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Authors: Izadpanah Abouzar , Mikani Azam , Moharramipour Saeid 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hünber) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a polyphagous pest that causes severe damage to economical crops in most parts of the world. The juvenile hormone analogues are a group of insect growth regulators that increase larval ages and disrupt larval development. Moreover, they affect reproductive system in adult insects. In this study, the effects of sublethal doses of fenoxycarb on fecundity, fertility, and longevity parameters, as well as on oocyte size, ecdysteroid titer in ovaries, and expression level of the ultraspiracle (USP), ecdysone receptor (EcR), hormone receptor 3 (HR3), and vitellogenin (Vg) genes in adult female H. armigera, were examined. Feeding on artificial diet containing fenoxycarb (LC10 and LC25) significantly decreased the percentage of larval survival rate, pupation rate, pupal weight, fecundity, fertility, and oviposition period. It also clearly shortened female longevity. Fenoxycarb treatment suppressed the expression of the USP, EcR, and Vg genes in H. armigera but had no effect on the HR3 gene expression level in either pupae or adults. Overall, our results show that using fenoxycarb as a juvenile hormone analogue can reduce reproduction in H. armigera and may work as an alternative to the use of insecticides for controlling this important agricultural pest.

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT.
Poor access to toilets has significant impacts on hygiene, health, safety, and well-being. Women in resource-poor areas may not use public toilets because of concerns about personal safety and the disapproval of others. This study examines social beliefs about women’s use of public toilets in India, using data from 5,052 households in rural, semi-urban, and urban slum areas of Bihar and Tamil Nadu in 2018. We asked respondents about their beliefs regarding the prevalence of young women aged 16 to 30 years using public toilets alone and whether this behavior was approved of in their community. We also asked about their personal beliefs on this issue. We used hypothetical vignettes to assess perceptions of a young woman’s behavior in different settings regarding public toilet usage by women. Our results show that people who believe many women in their community use public toilets alone and approve of it are more likely to have positive beliefs about this behavior. The experimental vignettes suggest a potential causal link between the prevalence and approval of public toilet usage among young women and their likelihood of using it. These findings are consistent across Bihar and Tamil Nadu and the three administrative regions, indicating that interventions aimed at changing social expectations about women’s use of public toilets should focus on highlighting community members’ usage and approval. Efforts to encourage woman’s access to public toilets and services should target shifting beliefs about public toilet usage among women without disapproval from others.

ABSTRACT.
Dengue virus (DENV) is the etiological agent of dengue fever (DF), which is among the most prevalent vector-borne diseases in the tropics. In 2022, the Colombian health surveillance system reported more than 69,000 cases of DF. As part of a hospital-based fever surveillance study, acute-phase sera were collected from 4,545 patients with suspected dengue between 2020 and 2023 in three municipalities of Colombia. Combined reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction and antigen rapid testing confirmed that 376 patients (8.3%) had DF. The virus was isolated in cell culture from 166 of these patients (44.1%), and genome sequencing was performed successfully on 122 (73.5%). Three DENV serotypes (1, 2, and 3) were identified. Phylogenetic analyses of the DENV-2 sequences revealed that 42 of 50 of the isolates (84%) belonged to the DENV-2 cosmopolitan genotype lineage, clustering with sequences from Asia, Peru, and Brazil. We report the detection, isolation, and whole-genome sequencing (11 Kb) of the DENV-2 cosmopolitan genotype and its recent introduction to Colombia.

Authors: Ridwan Sutriadi  
Published: October 2023

Learning from the cases in Indonesia, the proliferation of advanced technologies has engendered a burgeoning interest in smart city promotion as a dominant developmental theme, and this has an association heavily with physical infrastructure development, while there are other things that need to be thought about. The methodology entails the scholarly works, procurement of data, classification of data, and integration of resultant discoveries. The objective of this article is to furnish a thorough and intricate comprehension of the soft infrastructure that upholds crucial infrastructure systems. Qualitative assessments scrutinize outcomes within multiple frameworks to gauge the efficacy of the supple infrastructure in promoting resilience. As a result, the occurrence of the theme of soft infrastructure in smart sustainable cities poses a novel challenge to continuously enhance their skills and expertise. The soft infrastructure in smart sustainable cities addresses business-spatial, cultural-political, and humane-innovation issues. Such resources can effectively address integrated regional challenges and well-conceived planning for cities.

Endometriosis is a long-lasting state in which endometrial-like tissue is found outside the uterus often on the reproductive organs, bowel, and bladder. Aimed to: To find out the extent to which Libyan women know about endometriosis. Martial & Methods: During the one-year study period [2021 to 2022], answer the questions of questionnaire and interview. Result: Most of the ages were between (16 - 25 Years) 1353(73.5 %), most Education Levels (University) 1357(73.8 %), and Marital Situation the most were (Single) 1467(79.7 %). frequency and percent of Knowledge Questions Most of the answers were “I don’t know” and the answer was “No.” This indicates a lack of information about endometriosis, who suffer from endometrioses were the highest percent 75.5 %, I Don`t know 21.2 %. Percent of education the answer I don`t know 19.4 %, and by no 26.1 %. The Correlations between Knowledge and Education Levels, the p-value > 0.05 means there is no relationship between education level and knowledge of endometriosis. Conclusion: that the educational level has nothing to do with the extent of awareness among women about endometriosis, and therefore we find that the percentage of those suffering from endometriosis is very high, and that women need a lot of awareness and knowledge about the endometriosis disease.

Un hecho evidenciable es que las consecuencias de la Pandemia producto de la COVID-19 van desde: económicas, financieras, educativas, políticas, sociales, culturales, entre otras; y no fueron ajenas a estados y corporaciones privadas, mucho menos a las personas y sus familias. Para constatar en nuestros estudiantes estos efectos, se realizó la investigación tipo descriptiva sobre las características de la realidad financiera producida por la crisis sanitaria (Covid 19) de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Economía del Centro Regional Universitario de Coclé, año 2021 y cuyo objetivo principal era describir estas características. Se aplicó un instrumento tipo encuesta el cual fue desarrollado por 103 estudiantes de los cuales el 87% (90 estudiantes) indican que si hubo algún cambio en las finanzas personales. El 40% (41) de los estudiantes manifestó reducción de ingresos en menos del 25%, 26% (27) que su situación económica se vio muy afectada por una reducción entre el 50% y un 75% de sus ingresos. El covid19 afectó directamente las fuentes de ingreso por la pérdida de trabajo, reducción salarial y reducción de horas laborables entre otras cosas, en el 79% de los estudiantes. El estudio sirve de base para promover algún tipo de ayuda para los estudiantes afectados en sus ingresos familiares para que el acceso de los mismo a la educación no se vea afectado.
ruta de tránsito y su incidencia en la construcción de la nacionalidad panameña
Authors: Rodríguez B. Keila Mabel 
Published: October 2023

Los principales hechos historiográficos de nuestro país giran en torno al transitismo, el cual se instaura durante la era colonial, continua en el periodo de Unión a Colombia, donde se empiezan a sentir la beligerancia de algunos grupos económicos criollos, en aras de su concreción. Al no ser atendidas sus demandas, este periodo se caracteriza por un recuento de intentos separatistas; hasta que finalmente se logra concretar en la era Republicana donde los desafíos continuarán con matices diferentes, dadas las condiciones de la firma del Tratado Hay Bunau Varilla; es a partir de este hecho que la doctrina del nacionalismo se instaurará con mayor fuerza, siendo asociada a la ruta de tránsito en favor de la recuperación del canal de Panamá, aupado por el discurso de alcanzar la plena soberanía, siendo los principales protagonistas en esta cruzada los grupos populares.
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo establecer a través de un breve repaso de la historiografía ístmica la incidencia de la ruta de tránsito como eje articulador de la nacionalidad panameña. La metodología utilizada consistió, en la revisión documental, desde la mirada de cientistas sociales los cuales desde diversas perspectivas y disciplinas han venido aportando sobre el tema.
En función de la documentación consultada se puede concluir que el nacionalismo surge, según Anderson aproximadamente en el siglo XVIII, con miras a proveer de significados los retos que debían enfrentar los nuevos Estados - nación. En lo que concierne a Panamá desde la era colonial, pero especialmente durante los periodos Departamental y Republicano, se observa como la ruta de tránsito se convierte en el eje articulador sobre el cual girará la conformación del Estado – nación, a instancias de grupos comerciales, tanto criollos como extranjeros, quienes se convierten en los principales beneficiarios de la función asignada a Panamá.

Published: October 2023

AbstractImportance: Assessing patients’ activities of daily living (ADLs) function early in hospitalization may help identify patients at risk for poor outcomes.Objective: To investigate the association between patients’ ADL function at hospital admission and length of stay, inpatient falls, hospital-acquired pressure injuries, and discharge disposition.Design: Retrospective cohort study using scores collected on the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care Inpatient Activity Short Form (AM-PAC IASF) in routine care at admission.Setting: Two inpatient units at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.Participants: Hospitalized patients with various diagnoses, including neurosurgical, stroke, and general neurology (N = 1,899).Results: People with lower AM-PAC scores (every 10-point difference) had increased odds (odds ratio [OR] = 1.6; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.4–1.8) of being in the highest length-of-stay quartile (≥8 days), having an injurious fall (OR = 1.7; 95% CI = 1.3–2.2), acquiring a pressure injury (OR = 2.7; 95% CI = 1.5–5.3), and being discharged to a postacute care facility (OR = 3.02; 95% CI = 2.1–2.7).Conclusions and Relevance: Greater functional impairments in ADLs, measured with the AM-PACS IASF, were significantly associated with worse outcomes. AM-PAC IASF scores may be useful in identifying patients with ADL deficits and targeting occupational therapy services for patients who are at higher risk for negative outcomes.What This Article Adds: Early assessment of ADL function in routine care of hospitalized patients may aid in treatment and care plan decisions, particularly for inpatients who may be at higher risk for adverse outcomes.

Published: October 2023

IntroductionThe aim of this study is to examine the oxidative damage caused by sunitinib on skeletal muscle and whether taxifolin is effective against that oxidative damage.Material and methodsThirty albino Wistar male rats were used in the experiment. The rats were divided into 3 equal-sized groups: a sunitinib-only administered group (SUN), a sunitinib + taxifolin administered group (SUT), and a control group (CG) without treatment. Taxifolin and sunitinib were administered by oral gavage at a dose of 50 mg/kg for taxifolin and a dose of 25 mg/kg for sunitinib. Striated hind limb muscle tissue of rats was removed; malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were measured in muscle tissue; muscle tissue was examined histopathologically; creatine kinase (CK) levels were determined in the blood samples of rats; and the results were compared between the groups.ResultsIn the SUN group, MDA and CK values were statistically significantly higher than in the SUT and CG groups, but SOD and GSH values were statistically significantly lower. The SUT and CG groups were similar when compared. Histopathologically, congested blood vessels, oedema, degeneration, inflammation, and rupture of muscle fibres in muscle tissue were detected in the SUN group. However, in the SUT group it was observed that blood vessels were normal, there were no degenerative findings, and inflammation was resolved.ConclusionsSunitinib causes oxidative damage to skeletal muscle tissue. Taxifolin prevents the toxic effect of sunitinib on skeletal muscle due to its antioxidant effects.

Published: October 2023

IntroductionRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common diffuse pain syndrome in several rheumatic diseases. This study aimed to find the prevalence of FM in RA patients and to explore its impact on the disease activity of RA patients.Material and methodsA total of 170 RA patients diagnosed according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria for RA were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Age, gender, body mass index, marital status, educational level, occupation, smoking history, disease duration, and medications used were reported. Fibromyalgia was diagnosed by using the fibromyalgia criteria 2016 revision. The disease activity of RA patients was measured by using the clinical disease activity index (CDAI) and disease activity score-28 (DAS28).ResultsThe mean age of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients was 51.263 ±11.531 years, and for non-FMS patients it was 48.469 ±13.932 years. FM was present in 57 (42.7%) RA patients, among whom the prevalence of FMS among female patients was 36.4%, which was significantly higher than that among male patients, at 6.3% (p = 0.015). FM significantly increased the disease activity measured by DAS28 ( = 0.241, p = 0.001) and by CDAI ( = 0.359, p < 0.001). Female gender and functional class of patients with RA positively increase the disease activity DAS28 ( = 0.142, p = 0.032;  = 0.396, p > 0.001), while only functional class increased the disease activity measured by CDAI ( = 0.373, p > 0.001).ConclusionsThe occurrence of FM in RA patients was common, and there was significant positive correlation between FMS severity and RA disease activity.
