Authors: Meyer Courtney M. , Swartz Erik E. , Register-Mihalik Johna K. , Yeargin Susan , Scarneo-Miller Samantha E. 
Published: July 2023

Context
Best practices to manage cervical spine injury (CSI) in sport have been published, yet knowledge of their use is unknown.

Objective
To explore adoption of CSI management policies by high school (HS) athletic trainers (ATs) and their associated behaviors, barriers, and facilitators.

Design
Cross-sectional study.

Setting
Online survey platform.

Patients or Other Participants
Athletic trainers providing medical services to US HSs.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
The precaution adoption process model was used in an online questionnaire to determine the stage of adoption by ATs for each CSI management policy component. Components obtained from the National Athletic Trainers’ Association position statement on acute management of an athlete with a CSI included immediate care, emergency tools to remove equipment, and maintenance of equipment-removal skills. Questions assessed AT demographics, HS characteristics, and facilitators and barriers to policy adoption. Data are presented as proportions and associations determined through χ2 analysis (P &lt; .05).

Results
A total of 508 ATs’ responses were included. Of these ATs, 33.1% reported adoption of incomplete policies (&lt;3 components of a CSI management policy, n = 168; 95% CI = 29.0%, 37.1%), and 66.9% reported adoption of comprehensive policies (n = 339; 95% CI = 62.9%, 71.0%). A significant association was found between coordination of CSI policies with emergency medical services (EMS) and adoption of the policy components for comprehensive immediate CSI care (χ21 = 49.56, P &lt; .001), emergency tools for athletic equipment removal (χ21 = 41.49, P &lt; .001), and the practice and maintenance of equipment-removal skills (χ21 = 86.12, P &lt; .001). Approximately two-thirds (66.5%) reported that a positive relationship with EMS (n = 338; 95% CI = 62.4%, 70.7%) was a facilitator, whereas 42.5% reported challenges with local EMS as a barrier (n = 216; 95% CI = 38.2%, 46.9%).

Conclusions
Immediate care and emergency tool policy components had the highest rates of adoption. Higher rates of adoption in this project were associated with coordination of CSI policies with local EMS. Athletic trainers also reported challenges in coordinating with EMS. Interventions to improve collaboration, training, and interprofessional respect between ATs and EMS personnel may improve policy adoption.

Authors: Porwal Ashwin , Gandhi Paresh , Kulkarni Deepak 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
The present study evaluates the efficacy of laser hemorrhoidopexy, an innovative minimally invasive procedure in 1088 patients.

Methods:
A hospital based retrospective prospective study planned with the Aim to explore effectiveness and long-term outcomes of Laser Hemorrhoidopexy as the procedure is easy to learn and replicate and will produce similar results.

Aim and Objectives:
This study aimed to explore the effectiveness and long-term outcomes of laser hemorrhoidopexy as the procedure is easy to learn and replicate and will produce similar results. A retrospective prospective evaluation of preoperative symptoms of hemorrhoids, complications during intra and postoperative period, and healing were recorded. Visual Analog Scale was used to record pain and postoperative patient satisfaction for 6 months, and telephonic follow-up was taken for 48 months, ranging from 24 to 72 months.

Results:
A total of 1088 patients with a mean age of 39.51 ± 12.52 years were observed. The mean surgery time was 25 min, and the hospitalization duration was 16 h. Mild pain was reported by 23% of subjects postoperatively and 6% of patients at the end of the week. Complications during the early period included minor bleeding (5.88%) and urine retention (4%–5%). Late postoperative complications were bleeding (6.25%), persistent pain (3.03%), hemorrhoid thrombosis (4.59%), and fissure (5.15%). Patient satisfaction at end of a week showed a highly satisfied response by 76.84%, while dissatisfied by 8%. The recurrence rate was 0.55% with a median follow-up of 2 years.

Conclusions:
Laser hemorrhoidopexy is sphincter saving, simple minimal invasive and safe procedure with less pain, and complications and a high postoperative patient satisfaction rate in Grade II and Grade III hemorrhoids. The recurrence rate in hemorrhoids surgery is negligible if internal mucosal prolapse is corrected with suture mucopexy in two layers.

Aims:
This study aimed to evaluate the management of hospital wastes with an emphasis on genotoxic waste. In this regard, wastes production rate, separation method, temporary storage, collection, and disposal were investigated.

Materials and Methods:
A comprehensive survey was conducted at six public hospitals by designing a questionnaire regarding medical waste management. Furthermore, face-to-face interviews were arranged.

Results:
The results demonstrated that the generation rate of total medical waste, hazardous-infectious waste, genotoxic waste, and the generation rates of general waste in Semnan city were 2.904, 0.9 (31%), 0.09 (3%), and 1.914 (66%) kg/bed-day, respectively. Approximately 50% of the hospitals used unsuitable containers to collect genotoxic wastes from hospital wards. It was found that all the hospitals have temporary storage rooms. However, there is not a specific and separate temporary storage place for genotoxic wastes in the hospitals. Four hospitals (83.3%) are equipped with steam sterilization and shredding equipment. One hospital (16.7%) has steam sterilization without shredding for treating infectious and sharp wastes. In this study, chemical neutralization was considered the principal method for treating genotoxic waste in hospitals. Moreover, lack of staff training (46% of hospitals) and shortage of personal-protective equipment (85% of hospitals) were considered significant problems in these hospitals.

Conclusions:
This study revealed that the healthcare waste management index is acceptable for all types of hospital wastes except for genotoxic waste. Therefore, it is essential to pay more attention to the on-site collection and safe storage of genotoxic wastes. Furthermore, in terms of treatment, transfer, and disposal stages, general hospital waste was managed properly compare to genotoxic waste.
What should urologists know about Pseudojournals and open access publishing? A narrative review of the literature
Authors: Jena Rahul , Sharma Aditya Prakash , Madhavan Kumar , Sridhar Ashwin Narasimha , Parmar Kalpesh , Shrivastava Nikita 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
The majority of the open access publishing allows the researchers to publish their articles for a fee and at the same time enables the readers to access the research without paying the expensive journal subscription charges. Under the garb of open access publishing, predatory journals run a scam to dupe the researchers of money. This study was conducted to highlight the characteristics of pseudojournals and increase the awareness about their modus operandi.

Methods:
The email inboxes of 3 academic urologists (APS, AS, and KP) were searched for emails soliciting articles for open access journals. A list of all such journals was compiled. These journals were checked for metrics from the Journal Citation Reports and the Scimago Journal Rankings. All these journals were then cross-checked with the available whitelists and blacklists. Features pointing toward a pseudo journal were identified as red flag signs for these journals and were noted. A literature search was performed on open access publishing and predatory journals, and the salient points were noted. A checklist of red flag signs was compiled.

Results:
A total of 71 emails soliciting article submissions from 68 journals were received by the three urologists (APS, AS, KP). Of these, 54 were highly suggestive of being a pseudojournal, 5 journals were operating in the gray zone between genuine open access journals and outright predatory journals, and 9 were genuine open access journals. A total of 33 articles on predatory journals were reviewed after the literature search as per the PRISMA guidelines. The red flag signs identified along with the literature review were used to create the SAFEiMAP checklist, which can be used to identify predatory journals.

Conclusion:
Predatory journals have infiltrated the whitelists, and the indexing databases like PubMed and no blacklist is all-inclusive. Understanding the concept and the types of open access publishing gives the researchers a better idea on how to differentiate fake journals from the genuine ones. Using a checklist will help to identify the red flag signs of such journals and identify those journals that operate in the gray zone.

ABSTRACT.
Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a rare and lethal infection caused by Naegleria fowleri. We report an epidemiological and environmental investigation relating to a case of PAM in a previously healthy boy age 8 years. An interview of the patient’s family was conducted to determine the likely exposure site and to assess risk factors. Data from the United States Geological Survey site at Waterloo, NE, on the Elkhorn River were used to estimate water temperature and streamflow at the time and site of exposure. Data from the National Weather Service were used to estimate precipitation and ambient air temperature at the time and site of exposure. Despite conventional treatment, the patient died 2 days after hospital admission. The patient participated in recreational water activities in the Elkhorn River in northeastern Nebraska 5 days before symptom onset. In the week before exposure, water and ambient air high temperatures reached annual highs, averaging 32.4°C and 35.8°C, respectively. The day before infection, 2.2 cm of precipitation was reported. Streamflow was low (407 ft3/s). Infections in several northern states, including Nebraska, suggest an expanding geographic range of N. fowleri transmission, which may lead to increased incidence of PAM in the United States. Similar environmental investigations at suspected exposure sites of future cases will allow data aggregation, enabling investigators to correlate environmental factors with infection risk accurately.
VERITÀ E FIDUCIA NELL’ERA DEL TRANSUMANESIMO
Authors: Valera Luca , Bertolaso Marta 
Published: July 2023

Riassunto: Nel presente articolo si analizzerà come, a fronte del paradigma transumanista che opera per una progressiva inclusione dell’uomo nel suo stesso processo di ‘miglioramento’ del mondo, è sempre più pressante la domanda sulla dinamica tra verità (truth) e fiducia (trust) nella relazione uomo-macchina e nella riflessione etica degli enti che orientano gli odierni processi di innovazione bio-tecnologica. Le visioni che emergono – frutto rispettivamente del paradigma transumanista e di un’ecologia umana che restituisce all’uomo il senso della sua storia e del suo vivere in relazione – non sono banalmente antitetiche: poggiano su due visioni dell’uomo scientifico profondamente diverse. Si propone quindi che un modo costruttivo per coniugare verità e fiducia nella nostra società contemporanea, dipenderà sempre più dall’idea di uomo che con la scienza vogliamo servire, coniugando il progresso bio-tecnologico con l’incompletezza biologica che caratterizza l’uomo.
Parole chiave: Transumanesimo; Estraneità; Dignità; Verità; Fiducia.

Resumen: Analizaremos cómo, ante el paradigma transhumanista, que intenta incluir al ser humano en el proceso de “mejora” del mundo, es cada vez más apremiante la pregunta por la relación entre la verdad (truth) y la confianza (trust). Nos referimos a la relación entre una narrativa verdadera sobre la tecnología y la confianza que en dicha tecnología podemos depositar. Esta pregunta se plantea en el ámbito de la relación hombre-máquina, así como en la reflexión ética sobre la innovación biotecnológica. Emergen aquí dos visiones, que no son simplemente antitéticas: la propia del paradigma transhumanista y la propia de una ecología humana que nos devuelve el sentido histórico y social de nuestra vida. Estas dos visiones se corresponden también con dos concepciones profundamente diferentes del ser humano. Entendemos, pues, que una forma constructiva de combinar la verdad y la confianza en nuestra sociedad contemporánea dependerá cada vez más de la idea de ser humano a la que la ciencia pretenda servir. Para servir realmente al ser humano, la ciencia habrá de combinar el progreso biotecnológico con la incompletitud biológica que nos caracteriza.
Palabras clave: transhumanismo; extrañeza; dignidad; verdad; confianza.

En el año 2017, el profesor Antonio Diéguez Lucena nos brindó la oportunidad de conocer sintéticamente el pensamiento transhumanista cuando publicó Transhumanismo. La búsqueda tecnológica del mejoramiento humano. Fue una gran oportunidad para el público de habla hispana la recepción de una obra de estas características, pues Diéguez logró, con rigor académico y profundo diálogo filosófico, abordar las principales cuestiones —tanto desde un punto de vista cultural como tecnológico— que el pensamiento transhumanista plantea.
La labor investigadora y divulgadora del profesor Diéguez no acabó con esa publicación. Por eso, en plena pandemia del COVID-19, publicó en el año 2021 su último libro sobre el pensamiento transhumanista, en el que continúa reflexionando sobre algunos temas tratados en el anterior y los desarrolla. La obra se titula Cuerpos inadecuados. El desafío transhumanista a la filosofía. Con su estilo sutil y discreto, Diéguez cuestiona las promesas transhumanistas de nuevo y nos invita a leerle con detenimiento, pues paulatinamente desarticula parte del andamiaje filosófico del transhumanismo enfriando, como en su primera obra sobre este tema, las promesas de este movimiento tecnocultural.

Published: July 2023

El presente libro es una traducción en lengua italiana del original inglés publicado en 2012. Ingmar Persson y Julien Savulescu son reconocidas voces en la discusión académica sobre el potenciamiento moral la cual traspasó las fronteras del ámbito anglosajón.
La estructura de la obra se asemeja a una pirámide: el lector se va aproximando al núcleo del potenciamiento moral transitando los nueve capítulos que preceden al último en el cual, como cima de la obra, se ofrece una exposición completa de la temática. Esta estructura refleja la intención de los autores, esto es, reconocer que el potenciamiento moral es la única salida posible para resolver los problemas resultantes del mal uso de la tecnología. En efecto, una de las principales tesis del libro es evidenciar que gracias a la ciencia y la tecnología el hombre cambió radicalmente las condiciones de su vida mientras que su psicología moral permaneció inalterada a lo largo del tiempo. En consecuencia, el hombre no está dotado con una psicología moral adecuada que le permita afrontar los acuciantes problemas morales creados por las nuevas condiciones de vida. Entre los principales problemas se cuentan la posibilidad de utilizar armas de destrucción masiva, el cambio climático y la degradación del ambiente.

O Estilo de Vida (EV) pode ser conceituado como uma forma cultural e social de viver, abrangendo hábitos e condutas que contribuem positiva ou negativamente para a saúde. Na docência, houve um crescimento na ocorrência de Doenças Crônicas Não-Transmissíveis (DCNT) relacionadas ao EV. As DCNT possuem como característica o desenvolvimento de longa duração. O estudo buscou conhecer o EV dos professores e analisar a presença de DCNT de acordo com as alterações no EV. Trata-se de um estudo observacional e descritivo, de corte transversal do tipo quali-quantitativo. Foi aplicado um questionário estruturado, denominado "Estilo de Vida Fantástico" de forma on-line. Além disso, foi realizada a identificação das DCNT autodeclaradas. Foi tabulado os dados e o calculado os escores dos domínios e o escore total do questionário. Na comparação dos domínios e escore FANTASTIC entre indivíduos com e sem DCNT, somente o escore do domínio introspecção foi significativamente menor em pessoas com DCNT. A maioria dos professores não apresentaram DCNT e dentre os doentes, predominou HAS e rinite. A pontuação do score total do questionário foi elevada, mesmo nos participantes portadores de DCNT. Conclui-se que o EV é um fator importante para a manutenção da saúde e da qualidade de vida.
