Authors: Mutwiri Nicholas Nteere , Kinoti Mary , Njoroge John 
Published: March 2023

Social action entails leaders being proactive in bringing about positive change in their communities. Through charisma, vision, and sheer willpower, transformational leaders try to mould society into their own image. They want to envision society as a better environment for all people. Religious scholars, sociologists, and political economists have always wondered how transformative leadership traits and social action are related. Accordingly, this study sought to delve deeper into the relationship between transformational leadership and social action. Specifically, it examined the relationship between transformational attributes and social action in MCK Kaaga Synod. The objectives of the study are: To examine the practice of transformational leadership To examine the influence of church-initiated social action among the residents within the geographical area of Mck kaaga Synod To is to examine the relationship that exists between transformational leadership and social action This study used a descriptive survey design with qualitative and quantitative approaches. The descriptive survey approach was used since it thoroughly describes the issue under exploration. It is especially useful in studies where there is a need to gather information, summarize, present, and interpret the data. The study population comprised the 6771 church leaders in MCK Kaaga synod. The sample size was 384, randomly selected using Cochran's sample size formula. Through the use of surveys and an interview schedule, data were gathered. A mixed method approach combining both qualitative and quantitative methodologies was used for the data analysis. Themes and patterns were used to analyse qualitative data, while descriptive statistics for percentages and mean were used to analyse quantitative data. A P-value cut-off of 0.05 was used as the benchmark for predictive value while analysing the association between the variables using linear regression. After analysis, the data were presented in tables and figures. The study established that transformational leadership attributes have a significant, positive relationship with charisma, having a regression coefficient of 0.0123 p<0.005, and social influence with a coefficient of 0.024, p<0.005.Moreover, the vision was positively correlated with social action programmes, with a regression coefficient of 0.0431, p<0.005. Additionally, a delegation was positively correlated with social action programmes, with a regression coefficient of 0.0254, p<0.005, with executional distribution, and has a significant relationship with social action programmes in MCK Kaaga synod, with r=0.0422, p<0.005. However, the transformational leadership attribute of transactional has no significant relationship with social action, with r=0.0.0647, p<0.005 in MCK Kaaga synod.

Authors: Duarte Juan Manuel , Lisi Gisela Roxana , Carroll Brendan T. , Garro Marcelo Fabián , Appiani Francisco José 
Published: March 2023

Objectives:
The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of sleep paralysis (SP) in medical students from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA).

Materials and Methods:
An ad hoc questionnaire based on the diagnosis of SP and a demographic survey was electronically presented to students of Internal Medicine at the School of Medicine of the UBA. The respondents answered both questionnaires using Google Forms®.

Results:
The prevalence of SP was 40.7% (95% CI 33.5–47.8). A higher percentage of the respondents (76%) reported experiencing SP-related anxiety. An association between self-perceived quality of sleep and the incidence of SP was found (χ2: 12.712, P = 0.002). The highest frequency was hypnopompic SP (55.55%), and the highest percentage (55.4%) suffered from SP less than once every 6 months. Most respondents (59.5%) reported having started with SP symptoms after 18 years of age, and the highest percentage (66.2%) had exacerbated their symptoms at college. The frequency of the Incubus phenomenon was 14.5% (95% CI 6.2–23). Most respondents (70.8%) denied the association of SP with religious or paranormal beliefs.

Conclusion:
SP is highly prevalent in medical students and is associated with poor sleep habits and perceived poor sleep quality. Clinicians should be aware of this parasomnia to avoid a misdiagnosis of psychosis and inform sufferers of the nature of SP.
A brief review of the monkeypox virus and emerging concerns for neuroinvasiveness
Authors: Anand Atul , Das Anand Kumar , Bhardwaj Sona , Singh Saraj Kumar 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, monkeypox virus (MPXV) disease has been recognized as another disease of pandemic nature by the World Health Organization. Nearly four decades after the eradication of smallpox, as half of the world population is naïve to ortho-pox viruses (supposedly due to lack of immunity by vaccination), MPXV remains the most pathogenic species of the family of poxviruses.

Methods:
The articles on MPXV were searched on PubMed/Medline and data were retrieved and analyzed.

Results:
Although reported as a disease of milder exanthem and lower mortality as compared to smallpox, the MPXV disease tends to be neuroinvasive. This article highlights the neurological signs and symptoms of MPXV disease and discusses, in brief, the management strategies.

Conclusion:
Neuroinvasive properties of the virus as demonstrated in in vitro studies, and further verified by neurological illnesses in patients, present a special threat to mankind. Clinicians must be prepared to recognize and treat these neurological complications and start treatment to limit long-lasting brain injury as seen in patients with COVID-19.

Authors: Godik О. S. 
Published: March 2023

Objective. On the prehepatic portal hypertension pattern, created by partial ligature of venae portae in rats, to estimate the impact of partial hepatic deportalization on its tissue.
Materials and methods. The investigation was conducted on 35 male rats of a Wistar line, aged 4–6 weeks. In 15 laboratory animals the partial ligature of vena porta with formation of stenosis was conducted, and in 15 –false ligature, while the control group consisted of 5 intact laboratory animals.
Results. There were revealed certain connections between conduction of partial ligature of vena porta and critical (lethal) lowering of portohepatic perfusion.
The model of prehepatic portal hypertension, using partial ligature of vena porta, leading to partial lowering of portohepatic perfusion with development of cavernous transformation of vena porta and dystrophic changes in hepatocytes with further fibrous changes in hepatic parenchyma, was applied.
Conclusion. The portal vein narrowing grade in range 52 – 59% constitutes the optimal one for the prehepatic portal hypertension formation with development of zonal adipose parenchymatous hepatic dystrophy and the balloon degeneration of hepatocytes with further development of fibroses in rats of a Wistar line aged 4 – 6 weeks.
Sequencing directly from antigen-detection rapid diagnostic tests in Belgium, 2022: a gamechanger in genomic surveillance?
Authors: Rector Annabel , Bloemen Mandy , Schiettekatte Gilberte , Maes Piet , Van Ranst Marc , Wollants Elke 
Published: March 2023

Background
Lateral flow antigen-detection rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) for viral infections constitute a fast, cheap and reliable alternative to nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs). Whereas leftover material from NAATs can be employed for genomic analysis of positive samples, there is a paucity of information on whether viral genetic characterisation can be achieved from archived Ag-RDTs.

Aim
To evaluate the possibility of retrieving leftover material of several viruses from a range of Ag-RDTs, for molecular genetic analysis.

Methods
Archived Ag-RDTs which had been stored for up to 3 months at room temperature were used to extract viral nucleic acids for subsequent RT-qPCR, Sanger sequencing and Nanopore whole genome sequencing. The effects of brands of Ag-RDT and of various ways to prepare Ag-RDT material were evaluated.

Results
SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acids were successfully extracted and sequenced from nine different brands of Ag-RDTs for SARS-CoV-2, and for five of these, after storage for 3 months at room temperature. The approach also worked for Ag-RDTs for influenza virus (n = 3 brands), as well as for rotavirus and adenovirus 40/41 (n = 1 brand). The buffer of the Ag-RDT had an important influence on viral RNA yield from the test strip and the efficiency of subsequent sequencing.

Conclusion
Our finding that the test strip in Ag-RDTs is suited to preserve viral genomic material, even for several months at room temperature, and therefore can serve as source material for genetic characterisation could help improve global coverage of genomic surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 as well as for other viruses.
