BackgroundNegative information about vaccines that spreads online may contribute to parents’ vaccine hesitancy or refusal. Studies have shown that false claims about vaccines that use emotive personal narratives are more likely to be shared and engaged with on social media than factual evidence-based public health messages. The aim of this study was to explore parents’ views regarding the use of positive narratives to promote childhood vaccination.MethodsWe identified three ∼4-minute video narratives from social media that counter frequent parental concerns about childhood vaccination: parents and informed decision-making (online misinformation about vaccines); a paediatrician’s clinical experience with vaccine-preventable diseases (prevention of still existing diseases); and a mother’s experience with vaccine-preventable disease (risks of the disease). Focus group discussions were held with parents of children aged 0 to 5 years to assess their views on these three narratives and their general opinion on the use of narratives as a vaccine promotion intervention.ResultsFour focus groups discussions were virtually held with 15 parents in December 2021. In general, parents trusted both health care provider’s and parent’s narratives, but participants identified more with stories having a parent as the main character. Both narratives featuring personal stories with vaccine-preventable diseases were preferred by parents, while the story about informed decision-making was perceived as less influential. Parents expressed the need for reliable and nuanced information about vaccines and diseases and felt that a short video format featuring a story was an efficient vaccine promotion intervention. However, many mentioned that they generally are not watching such videos while navigating the Web.ConclusionWhile vaccine-critical stories are widely shared online, evidence on how best public health could counter these messages remains scarce. The use of narratives to promote vaccination was well-perceived by parents. Future studies are needed to assess reach and impact of such an intervention.
Kindness: Definitions and a pilot study for the development of a kindness scale in healthcare
Authors: Hake Austin B. , Post Stephen G. 
Published: July 2023

BackgroundEmpathy and compassion currently receive the most attention in healthcare with respect to the medical humanities and while these skills are important for any clinician to learn, they are complex and can be daunting to healthcare trainees when first encountered. Kindness is a simple, time-sensitive behavior not yet well characterized in the healthcare setting. With this study, we aim to clearly define it as well as investigate a few common examples of kindness that might be used to create a scale for use in the healthcare setting.MethodsA literature search was performed to rigorously define kindness. A kindness scale based on this definition was then compiled and administered to 45 patients across three outpatient clinical settings to evaluate the association between several actions and the patient’s perception of kindness.ResultsKind actions are small, take little effort, and are short in duration to their intended effect. We define kindness as an action that benefits another, as perceived by the recipient of the kind action. The results from our clinical study indicate several actions such as greeting the patient with a smile, asking questions about the patient’s daily life, listening carefully, and appearing interested in the patient have a moderate strength correlation to a perception of kindness. The physician being perceived as kind also had a weak-moderate strength correlation to the patient subjectively reporting improvement after their visit.ConclusionsDefinitions in the medical humanities are important as they guide the scales used to measure them. This article defines kindness and describes some examples of its manifestation in the healthcare setting. Our study indicates that performing kind actions may improve a patient’s subjective perception of their care, however, future studies are needed to evaluate whether this benefit extends to health outcomes as has been demonstrated for skills such as empathy and good communication.“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”~Albert Schweitzer

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe World Health Organization stated that 1.6 million deaths worldwide were caused by contact with chemicals and toxins in 2019. In the same year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that natural toxins caused 3960 deaths.Myrtus communis, also known as common Myrtle, is a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region. Myrtle has been traditionally used to treat diarrhea, inflammation, bleeding, headache, pulmonary and skin diseases. This review was performed to assess Myrtle's protective and therapeutic efficacy against various chemical, natural, and radiational noxious. Multiple databases such as PubMed, Web of Sciences, and Scopus were investigated without publication time limitation. Recent studies have demonstrated its potential as a protective agent against both natural and chemical toxins. One of Myrtle's most significant protective properties is its high antioxidant content. Studies have shown that the antioxidant properties of Myrtle can protect against harmful substances such as heavy metals, pesticides, and other environmental toxins. Additionally, Myrtle has anti‐inflammatory properties that can help reduce the damage caused by long‐term exposure to toxins. The anti‐inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of Myrtle have also proven effective in alleviating gastrointestinal conditions such as gastric ulcers.
Between Panic and Feelings of Empowerment: Emotional Reactions to the First Oil Crisis and the Debate About a New International Economic Order
Authors: Kreienbaum Jonas 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe 1973/74 oil crisis, comprising an Arab oil embargo targeting Western industrialized states and the quadrupling of global oil prices by OPEC, was followed by a major international debate on the establishment of a New International Economic Order in the years to come. This debate not only made it to the top of the international agenda given certain emotional reactions to and perceptions of the first oil crisis in different groups of countries: The successful oil revolution, as it was called by Arab elites, nurtured a sense of empowerment among OPEC representatives while it triggered fears among Western governments, making them more willing to listen to OPEC demands. At the same time, both oil and non-oil developing countries professed a strong feeling of solidarity allowing them to formulate a shared program of economic decolonization. It was exactly these emotional reactions to the oil crisis that enabled the conflict over the New International Economic Order to become such a prominent feature of the decade. Thus, the oil revolution was a game changer without which the North-South debate would have remained on the sidelines.

Abstract

A new method for obtaining ultrafine particles of cobalt ferrites is proposed. This synthesis is a two-step process: the first step is the synthesis of ultrafine particles from aqueous solutions of nitrates under the action of non-equilibrium low-temperature plasma. The second stage is high-temperature treatment of the resulting powders. The action of plasma on solutions of iron and cobalt nitrates leads to the formation of a colloidal suspension at the plasma-solution interface in the liquid anode. The kinetics of co-precipitation from solutions under the action of plasma has been studied. It is shown that the process of formation is complex, includes several stages. The rate of formation of particles directly depends on the concentration of iron nitrate in the initial mixture. An increase in the discharge current leads to an increase in the rate of particle formation. The obtained substances were studied immediately after the plasma-solution interaction, after centrifugation, and after high-temperature treatment. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the resulting ultrafine particles are a mixture of hydroxonitrites and hydroxides of cobalt and iron. The data of thermogravimetric analysis confirm the data of X-ray diffraction analysis. The surface morphology was studied using a scanning electron microscope; the resulting powders have a well-developed surface. The resulting particles are characterized by two sizes, 92 nm and 1.46 µm. The magnetic characteristics of the particles were studied using a vibrating magnetometer at room temperature with a maximum applied field of up to 30 kOe. The coercive force of the obtained particles was 210 Oe. The saturation magnetization (MS) obtained at room temperature was found to be 65 emu/g and remanent magnetization (Mr) was 22 emu/g.

Published: July 2023

Background:
As a chemoprevention agent, crocin effectively decreases the risk of human cancers, including
colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the mechanism underlying the anti-cancer effects of crocin is not entirely explained.
Considering that in this study, we investigated the crocin effect on miR-143/145 and related signaling pathways
in CRC cells.

Methods:
HCT-116 and HT-29 CRC cells were treated with different concentrations of crocin and then were subjected
to MTT and qRT-PCR assays to investigate cell viability and miR-143/miR-145, KRAS, and RREB1 expression, respectively.
Also, western blotting was performed to evaluate gene expression at protein levels.

Results:
Our results showed that treating CRC cells with crocin decreases cell viability by upregulating miR-143/145
expression and reducing KRAS and RREB1 expression dose-dependently. These effects on gene expression in CRC
cells were reversed by removing crocin from the media after 48 h. Furthermore, western blotting results exhibited that
crocin significantly reduced the protein expression of KRAS and RREB1. Also, it was found that treatment of CRC
cells by crocin led to the inactivation of AKT by decreasing its phosphorylation.

Conclusions:
This study suggests that crocin may inhibit CRC cell proliferation by modulating KRAS, REEB1, and
AKT signaling pathways mediated through miR-143/145 upregulation.

Published: July 2023

Aging is a progressive process caused by a physiological decline in body functions. It is known that several factors can accelerate aging, namely age, lifestyle, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial damage. Various pollutants such as cigarette smoke, motor vehicle fumes, industrial waste, and exposure to sunlight / ultraviolet light will form free radicals. Malondialdehyde (MDA) level is one of the indicators used to measure oxidative stress. Increased MDA levels are found in various degenerative diseases. This study aims to determine plasma MDA levels in the age group of 40 years and over and factors that can affect plasma MDA levels. This study was a cross-sectional study by including 42 subjects. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire to obtain subject demographic data and physical activity, as well as physical examinations complemented by laboratory examinations and MDA levels. The mean age of the subjects was 52.7 years, and most of the 32 (76.2%) subjects were categorized as obese and had high activity. Pearson correlation test obtained body mass index statistically significantly correlated with plasma MDA levels with a value of p = 0.039, as well as physical activity statistically significantly correlated with a negative correlation, with a value of r = -0.26 and p = 0.043. Conclusion Body mass index and activity are significantly correlated with plasma MDA levels.

Taboo Words Analysis in Fast and Furious 8 Movie by F. Gary Gray
Authors: Septia Narti 
Published: July 2023

This study analyzes the taboo words in Fast and Furious 8 movie by F. Gary Gray. Taboo words occur not only in everyday life but also in the movie. This study aims to investigate the types of taboo words using the theory of Jay (1992) and the functions of taboo words using Wardhaugh's theory (2006). This study employed a descriptive qualitative as a research method. The result of this study shows there are seven types of taboo words, namely cursing 17 data, profanity 9 data, obscenity 1 data, epithet 15 data, vulgarity 14 data, insult and slur 7 data, and scatology 6 data. Then, there are four functions of taboo words, namely to draw attention 42 data, to show contempt 16 data, to be provocative 10 data, and to mock authority 1 data. Based on the analysis results, the word hell appears to be the second most taboo word used in this movie and has become the most dominant type of taboo word, namely cursing. This is because they use cursing to express their feelings, such as anger, annoyance, or shock, and to emphasize something in an utterance. Furthermore, all the words hell in this movie have the function as to draw attention. To draw attention appears as the most dominant function in Fast and Furious 8 movie because it can represent the character's intention of using taboo words.

IntroductionThe gut microbiome is directly involved in colorectal carcinogenesis, but much of the epidemiological evidence for the effect of the gut microbiome on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk comes from observational studies, and it is unclear whether identified microbial alterations are the cause or consequence of CRC development.MethodsUnivariate Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis and multivariate MR analysis based on Bayesian model averaging were performed to comprehensively explore the microbial risk factors associated with CRC. The Network Module Structure Shift method was used to identify microbial biomarkers associated with CRC. Mediation analysis was used to explore the dietary habits-microbiota-CRC pathway.ResultsThe results of the four methods showed that 9 bacteria had a robust causal relationship with the development of CRC. Among them, Streptococcus thermophilus reduced the risk of CRC; Eubacterium ventriosum and Streptococcus were beneficial bacteria of malignant tumors of colon (CC); Erysipelotrichaceae was a protective factor for malignant tumors of rectal (CR); Bacteroides ovatus was a risk factor for benign tumors. Finally, the mediation analysis revealed 10 pathways by which dietary regulation bacteria affected the risk of CRC, including alcohol consumption increased the risk of CC by reducing the abundance of Eubacterium ventriosum (mediated proportion: 43.044%), and the mediated proportion of other pathways was 7.026%-34.22%.DiscussionThese findings will contribute to the understanding of the different carcinogenic mechanisms of intestinal flora in the colon and rectum and the risk of tumor transformation, thereby aiding CRC prevention, early screening, and the development of future strategies to reduce CRC risk.

Published: July 2023

IntroductionKawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis, seen mostly in children. Epidemiology of KD is dependent on geographical location and seasonality. Although many years have passed since the first report of KD, multiple related factors are still unknown.Material and methodsWe investigated the clinical, paraclinical, and therapeutic aspects of KD in Kerman, Iran by performing a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study on all children hospitalized due to KD between 2007 and 2020.ResultsA total of 340 patients with mean ±SD age of 29.83 ±22.55 months participated in the study. Most of our patients were two to five years old. The male : female ratio was ~ 1.4 : 1. A few of our patients had a family history of KD or vasculitis (0.3%, 1.7%). Typical KD was more common by a large margin (316 patients with typical KD). More than half of our patients had a duration of hospitalization of under ten days. All of our patients were febrile. Hand/foot and lip/mouth changes were the second and third most common clinical findings in more than 60% of our patients. Other manifestations were conjunctivitis in 40%, skin rashes in 34.8%, gastrointestinal manifestations in 33.9%, and lymphadenopathy in 25.3%. Echocardiography revealed abnormalities in 78.6% of the participants; coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) was the most frequent (22.5%) and follow-up echocardiography revealed that all of them regressed within 6 months after treatment. The two laboratory tests with the highest ratio of abnormality were erythrocyte sedimentation rate (95%) and hemoglobin (83.3%). C-reactive protein and liver function tests were also abnormal in most patients. All of our patients received intravenous immunoglobulin and acetylsalicylic acid.ConclusionsKawasaki disease must be considered in every febrile child, especially those with risk factors, because timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications. Health policies should focus on appropriate diagnosis and treatment to prevent the occurrence of sequelae.

Published: July 2023

IntroductionRadiosynovectomy (RSV) is a minimally invasive method of treating and controlling joint inflammation refractory to conventional pharmacotherapy. It consist in intraarticular injection of radioactive colloids which irradiate the inflamed synovial membrane to cause its subsequent involution. Despite the fact that the hip joint involvement is quite common in systemic inflammatory arthropathies, hip joint RSVs are rarely performed. The aim of this paper is to assess safety and efficacy of hip joint radioisotope treatment.Material and methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the effects of 21 hip joints RSVs performed in 14 patients (10 female, 4 male; aged 8 to 79; mean age 48 years). Before the RSV, all the patients underwent clinical and ultrasound examination. The RSVs were performed using rhenium-186 sulphide under ultrasound guidance. Each patient underwent post-therapeutic scintigraphy to assess intraarticular distribution of the radiopharmaceutical. The effects of the treatment were assessed clinically and ultrasonographically during at least 2 follow-up visits 3 and 6 months after the RSV.ResultsIn 9 cases, we observed complete resolution of symptoms 3 and 6 months after the RSV. Four patients had only a partial response and required repeated treatment, and all responded well to second RSV. In four patients the treatment had no significant effect, and no repeated treatment attempt was made. All the responders suffered from inflammatory arthropathies; the non-responders had osteoarthritis, with no history of systemic diseases. In all the patients, no significant adverse effects were observed, in particular no radiation burns or infections. All post-therapeutic scintigrams showed proper, intraarticular distribution of the radiopharmaceutical.ConclusionsRadiosynovectomy of the hip joint in systemic joint diseases, especially performed using ultrasound-guidance, is a safe and effective treatment modality.
