Authors: Mohanty Nitya Gopal , Nayak Mihir Ranjan , Mahanta Debasish 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:
where cannabis use is very much prevalent in India, the occurrence of cannabis-induced psychotic disorder is not uncommon. Its symptoms are highly variable and become more ambiguous when comorbid with another psychiatric illness.

AIM OF THE STUDY:
This study aims to find out the phenomenology of psychotic symptoms due to cannabinoids use among patients who attended a tertiary care hospital.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
It is a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted over 3 months. Patients age group between 18 and 65 years, satisfying the criteria for psychotic disorder due to cannabinoids use (F12.5) according to International Classification of Disease-10 Diagnostic Criteria for Research were included in the study. Patients having a history of other psychiatric illness or general medical condition that needs medical attention were excluded from the study. The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale is used to evaluate psychiatric symptoms. Descriptive statistics are used to analyze the data.

RESULTS:
Out of 30 patients of cannabinoids use psychosis, the most common type was found to be predominantly manic symptoms (F12.55), followed by schizophrenia-like (F12.50), followed by predominantly depressive symptoms (F12.54), and followed by others. The most common cannabinoid-induced psychiatric symptoms found are unusual thoughts, hostility, grandiosity, excitement, suspiciousness, and followed by others.

CONCLUSION:
Cannabinoid-induced psychotic disorders have symptoms very similar to various psychiatric illnesses. It is very much essential to identify and distinguish it from other psychotic disorders at an early stage to manage it effectively.

Authors: Matias Maria João , Alves-Peixoto Pedro , Rocha António , Chibante-Pedro João 
Published: March 2023

Objective:
The objective of the study was to assess the glycemic control and cardiovascular risk (CV risk) change in diabetes mellitus type II (DM-II) patients undergoing uncomplicated bilateral cataract phacoemulsification surgery.

Design:
Retrospective study.

Participants:
We selected 28 patients who underwent uncomplicated bilateral cataract surgery at Centro Hospitalar de Entre o Douro e Vouga between January 2018 and December 2019.

Inclusion Criteria:
We included patients submitted to bilateral cataract surgery without other known ophthalmological pathology. Furthermore, there were available records of their comorbidities, lipid profile, blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and body max index (BMI) prior to and in the 6 months following surgery.

Materials and Methods:
We assessed our patient cohort for changes in HbA1c, lipid profile, BMI, and blood pressure before and after surgery. We further subdivided our patient cohort into two different groups: group 1 – no to mild visual impairment, ≤0.48 logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (LogMAR); Group 2 – moderate to severe visual impairment, >0.48 LogMAR, and assessed for the same variables at the mentioned time points. Comparisons were done using paired samples Student's t-test or Wilcoxon rank and repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc tests, respectively.

Results:
Following cataract surgery and subsequent improved visual acuity (VA), our patient cohort showed decreased HbA1c, lower arterial blood pressure, and decreased BMI, with an improved CV risk score within 6 months of cataract surgery. These improvements were more evident in the patients with worse baseline VA.

Conclusions:
Phacoemulsification cataract surgery resulted in improved CV risk and glycemic control in DM-II patients.

Authors: Wan-Nur-Hajidah Wan Mohd Hazman , Siti-Azrin Ab Hamid , Norsa'adah Bachok , Fauziah Jummaat , Wan-Nor-Asyikeen Wan Adnan 
Published: March 2023

Background:
The rates of repeat cesarean section (CS) among women with previous CS are increasing worldwide. The predictors of a repeat CS can vary across different populations.

Objective:
To determine the predictors of repeat CS among women from Malaysia with one previous lower segment CS (LSCS) who underwent trial of labor (TOLAC).

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective cohort study included women with one previous LSCS who followed up and delivered their current pregnancy at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Kelantan, Malaysia, between January 01, 2016, and December 31, 2017. Women with singleton pregnancies were included while those who had a history of classical CS, current pregnancy with preterm birth, non-cephalic pregnancy, lethal fetal anomalies, uterine rupture, and severe preeclampsia or planned for elective CS were excluded. Logistic regressions were performed.

Results:
The study included 388 women who underwent TOLAC and successfully gave childbirth through vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) (n = 194) or emergency LSCS (n = 194). Factors significantly associated with repeat CS were no history of vaginal delivery (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.71; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.60, 4.60; P < 0.001), estimated fetal weight ≥3500 grams (aOR: 4.78; 95% CI: 2.45–9.34; P < 0.001), and presence of meconium-stained liquor (aOR: 2.40; 95% CI: 1.33–4.35; P = 0.004).

Conclusion:
The above-mentioned predictors of a repeat CS among women from Malaysia with one previous LSCS who underwent TOLAC can be useful for clinicians in making an informed decision.

Published: March 2023

Background:
Since the COVID-19 pandemic peaked, few studies have thereafter assessed the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of healthcare workers.

Objectives:
To determine the rate and predictors of self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety among physicians at a public tertiary care teaching hospital in Saudi Arabia about 2 years after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic.

Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2021 to April 2022 and targeted all physicians working at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and General Anxiety Disorder-7 were used to elicit self-reported data regarding depression and anxiety, respectively. In addition, sociodemographic and job-related data were collected.

Results:
A total of 438 physicians responded, of which 200 (45.7%) reported symptoms of depression and 190 (43.4%) of anxiety. Being aged 25–30 years, female, resident, and reporting reduction in work quality were factors significantly associated with both anxiety and depression. Female gender (AOR = 3.570; 95% CI = 2.283–5.582; P < 0.001), working an average 9–11 hours/day (AOR = 2.130; 95% CI = 1.009–4.495; P < 0.047), and self-perceived reduction in work quality (AOR = 3.139; 95% CI = 2.047–4.813; P < 0.001) were significant independent predictors of anxiety. Female gender (AOR = 2.929; 95% CI = 1.845–4.649; P < 0.001) and self-perceived reduction in work quality (AOR = 3.141; 95% CI = 2.053–4.804; P < 0.001) were significant independent predictors of depression.

Conclusions:
About half of the physicians reported symptoms of anxiety and depression. These findings are suggestive of the need for large-scale studies to determine the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of healthcare workers in Saudi Arabia.

Published: March 2023

Background:
Limited studies from Saudi Arabia have assessed the quality of life (QoL) of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients on hemodialysis and its associated factors.

Objective:
To determine the physical, psychological, familial, and social factors that impact the QoL of ESKD patients in Saudi Arabia.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study included adult patients with ESKD who underwent hemodialysis at King Salman Center for Kidney Disease and King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between June and July 2021, and had been on dialysis for ≥1 year were included. The Arabic version of the Quality of Life Index–Dialysis (QLI-D) version III was used, which has four sub-scales.

Results:
A total of 173 respondents completed the questionnaire. The overall mean (±SD) QoL score was 22.2 (±4.30), while the scores for the sub-scales ranged from 20.8 (±5.25) (Health and Functioning subscale) to 26.0 (Family subscale). Respondents aged >70 years had significantly lower average score (P < 0.05) and lower Health and Functioning subscale score (P < 0.05). Education and higher income had significant positive correlation with the Social and Economic subscale (r = 0.234, P < 0.01; and r = 0.162, P < 0.05, respectively). Diabetes was significantly associated with lower scores in the Health and Functioning subscale (P < 0.05). There was a positive linear trend in the association between the number of years on dialysis and the overall QLI-D score and the subscales of QLI-D (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Higher education level and income and longer duration of dialysis were factors associated with better QoL, while older age and having diabetes were associated with poorer QoL. Awareness among healthcare providers regarding these factors can help improve the QoL of these patients.
The Immediate Effect of Kinesio Tape on Hamstring Muscle Length and Strength in Female University Students
Authors: Albeshri Zainab Saeed , Youssef Enas Fawzy 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Kinesio tape has been proposed to improve the muscle extensibility. However, there are contradictory results in the literature.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of Kinesio tape on hamstring muscle lengthening and on hamstring and quadriceps muscle strengthening in university students with hamstring muscle tightness.

Methods:
In this pre–post experimental study, 96 female students with hamstring muscle tightness were recruited from Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia, and randomly assigned to Kinesio tape, sham tape, or control groups (32 in each group). The inhibition technique was used for the Kinesio tape application, with the tape being applied from the muscle insertion to the origin. Measurements were taken before and 15 min after the intervention. Outcome measurements included active knee extension test to measure the hamstring muscle length, and isometric strength measurements of hamstring and quadriceps muscles using a handheld dynamometer.

Results:
A significant increase in the immediate hamstring muscle length was found in both the Kinesio (P = 0.001) and sham (P = 0.004) tape groups, while no difference was noted in the control group (P = 0.066). The muscle lengthening was significantly greater in the Kinesio tape group than the sham tape (P = 0.001) and control (P = 0.001) groups. There was no difference in the pre- and post-measurements in the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strengths in all three groups.

Conclusions:
These results demonstrate that applying Kinesio tape has an immediate effect on hamstring muscle extensibility, but has no effect on the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strengths.

Case Report: Severe Optic Neuritis after Multiple Episodes of Malaria in a Traveler to Africa
Authors: Sun Chuan-bin , Ma Zhiqiong , Liu Zhe 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT.
Although local transmission of malaria has been eliminated, the disease is frequently imported to China by Chinese travelers returning from Africa. Optic neuritis (ON) is occasionally reported in malarial cases and usually shows good visual recovery and prognosis. Herein, we report severe visual loss with poor recovery due to bilateral ON in a malarial patient who traveled from Nigeria. While he was still in Nigeria, his visual acuity dropped to no light perception in both eyes after the third episode of malaria, which was confirmed by a positive blood smear for malarial parasites. His general condition gradually improved after a 6-day course of artesunate therapy. However, visual acuity in both eyes remained unchanged after artesunate therapy alone, with gradual improvement subsequently shown after pulse steroid therapy. Our case indicates that early antimalarial drugs combined with pulse steroid therapy may be of great importance for good visual recovery in ON cases after malarial infection.

Published: March 2023

В статье рассмотрен процесс христианизации Алании. Проанализированы и систематизированы письменные и археологические источники по христианизации Алании. Прослежены основные моменты проникновения в среду алан христианских догм. Предложено условно подразделить процесс христианизации Алании на три этапа: ранний, средний и поздний. Рассмотрены особенности каждого из этапов христианизации. Указано на длительность и сложность процесса христианизации Алании. Показана роль Аланской митрополии в формировании государственности, духовной и этнической культуры алан Северного Кавказа. Поставлен вопрос о срочном принятии мер на федеральном уровне и с привлечением ЮНЕСКО по сохранению древнейших христианских храмов на территории Российской Федерации – аланских купольных храмов Х в. Зеленчука, Кубани и Теберды. Отмечено значение принятия аланами православия для судьбы осетинского народа.
The article considers the process of Christianization of Alanya. Written and archaeological sources on the Christianization of Alanya are analyzed and systematized. The main points of the penetration of Christian dogmas into the environment of the Alans are traced. It is proposed to subdivide conditionally the process of Christianization of Alanya into three stages: early, middle and late. The features of each of the stages of Christianization are considered. The duration and complexity of the process of Christianization of Alanya is indicated. The role of the Alan Metropolis in the formation of statehood, spiritual and ethnic culture of the Alans of the North Caucasus is shown. The question was raised about the urgent adoption of measures at the federal level and with the involvement of UNESCO to preserve the oldest Christian temples on the territory of the Russian Federation – the Alanian domed temples of the 10th century of Zelenchuk, Kuban and Teberda. The significance of the adoption of Orthodoxy by the Alans for the fate of the Ossetian people is noted.

Published: March 2023

Рассматривается управление человеческими ресурсами: проблема, связанная с эмоцио-нальным выгоранием сотрудников, получает всё большее распространение. Другая про-блема заключена в том, что отдел кадров организации тратит больше времени на админи-стративную работу (специалисты по персоналу уделяют около 86% своего рабочего вре-мени на административную работу), чем на распределение творческого и профессиональ-ного потенциала сотрудников, повышение квалификации и увязку существующих талан-тов сотрудников с бизнес-целями [14].
Для решения проблем выгорания сотрудников, некорректного распределения та-лантов и траты большей части времени отдела кадров на административную работу в компаниях должны активно развиваться информационные системы е-HRM. Развитие дан-ных систем обеспечит более грамотный процесс управления человеческими ресурсами, а также позволит автоматизировать уже имеющийся.

Published: March 2023

Sleep is a natural physiological phenomenon and its influence on the body is felt through various changes in emotional and physical health. It has been proven that regular and quality sleep is associated with better health indicators. Sleep has an impact on memory, concentration, learning process, behavior and quality of life. To maintain optimal health, it is important to sleep enough. Insufficient sleep increases the risk of accidents, injuries, hypertension, obesity, diabetes and depression.
The aim of this paper – to review and present the latest literature data on the quality of students' sleep and the factors influencing it.
Methods. A literature search using keywords was conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science databases and in the specialised information search engine Google Scholar, where is written about the quality of student's sleep and the factors influencing it.
The results and conclusions of the study: 45 articles were included in the literature review on the topic under consideration. Based on the research, it has been proven that sleep is important for both emotional and physical human health. The quality of students' sleep is not good - most of them complain of poor sleep quality, their sleep duration is not sufficient. Stress is one of the factors that impairs the quality of sleep..

Authors: Mathew Don , Agarwal Siddharth , Sherif Akil , Bumrah Karandeep 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Data on the incidence rate of myocarditis associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in adolescents is limited. The research estimated the incidence of myocarditis associated with the Pfizer- BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2) in adolescents (12-17 years).
Methodology: This study was conducted as per the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines. Incidence rates were estimated after generating a random effects model.
Findings: The Incidence rate in males after the first dose was 2.4 per 100,000 persons (0.8- 6.8 per 100,000; I2: 17.17%). The IR in females after the first dose was 1.9 per 100,000 persons (0.5-6.5 per 100,000; I2: 0.00). After the second dose, the IR in males was 15.7 per 100,000 persons (3.2-78.1 per 100,000; I2: 96.45%), while in females the IR after the second dose was 6.1 per 100,000 persons (2.9-12.1 per 100,000; I2: 0.00). The Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) after the first dose between males and females was 1.86 (0.40-8.5; I2: 0.00) and 6.35 (2.98-13.49; I2: 0.00) after the second dose. Among individuals between 12- 17 years of age, myocarditis is a rare side effect associated with Pfizer- BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2) vaccination. The incidence in males were about two times greater than females following the first dose and six times greater following the second dose.
Recommendation: Vaccination strategy in adolescent males needs to be revisited to mitigate risk of myocarditis.
