BackgroundPost-acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms occurred in most of the COVID-19 survivors. However, few studies have examined the issue of whether hospitalization results in different post-acute COVID-19 symptom risks. This study aimed to compare potential COVID-19 long-term effects in hospitalized and non-hospitalized COVID-19 survivors.MethodsThis study is designed as a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. A systematic search of six databases was performed for identifying articles published from inception until April 20th, 2022, which compared post-acute COVID-19 symptom risk in hospitalized and non-hospitalized COVID-19 survivors using a predesigned search strategy included terms for SARS-CoV-2 (eg, COVID, coronavirus, and 2019-nCoV), post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome (eg, post-COVID, post COVID conditions, chronic COVID symptom, long COVID, long COVID symptom, long-haul COVID, COVID sequelae, convalescence, and persistent COVID symptom), and hospitalization (hospitalized, in hospital, and home-isolated). The present meta-analysis was conducted according to The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement using R software 4.1.3 to create forest plots. Q statistics and the I2 index were used to evaluate heterogeneity in this meta-analysis.ResultsSix observational studies conducted in Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, and the USA involving 419 hospitalized and 742 non-hospitalized COVID-19 survivors were included. The number of COVID-19 survivors in included studies ranged from 63 to 431, and follow-up data were collected through visits in four studies and another two used an electronic questionnaire, visit and telephone, respectively. Significant increase in the risks of long dyspnea (OR = 3.18, 95% CI = 1.90–5.32), anxiety (OR = 3.09, 95% CI = 1.47–6.47), myalgia (OR = 2.33, 95% CI = 1.02–5.33), and hair loss (OR = 2.76, 95% CI = 1.07–7.12) risk were found in hospitalized COVID-19 survivors compared with outpatients. Conversely, persisting ageusia risk was significantly reduced in hospitalized COVID-19 survivors than in non-hospitalized patients.ConclusionThe findings suggested that special attention and patient-centered rehabilitation service based on a needs survey should be provided for hospitalized COVID-19 survivors who experienced high post-acute COVID-19 symptoms risk.

BackgroundDepression and anxiety are psychological and physiological disturbances persisting in cancer patients with high prevalence worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, due to complexities of determinants of health including biological, individual, socio-cultural, and treatment-related characteristics. Although depression and anxiety have an enormous impact on adherence, length of stay at the hospital, quality of life, and treatment outcomes, studies on psychiatric disorders remain limited. Thus, this study determined the prevalence and factors of depression and anxiety among patients with cancer in Rwanda.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 425 patients with cancer from the Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence. We administered socio-demographic questionnaires and psychometric instruments. Bivariate logistic regressions were computed to identify significant factors to be exported into the multivariate logistic models. Then, odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals were applied, and statistical significance at p &lt; 0.05 were considered to confirm significant associations.ResultsThe prevalence of depression and anxiety was 42.6 and 40.9%, respectively. Patients with cancer initiated to chemotherapy had a greater likelihood of being depressed [AOR = 2.06; 95% CI (1.11–3.79)] than those initiated to chemotherapy and counseling. Breast cancer was significantly associated with a greater risk of depression [AOR = 2.07, 95% CI (1.01–4.22)] than Hodgikins's Lymphoma cancer. Furthermore, patients with depression had greater odds of developing anxiety [AOR = 1.76, 95% CI (1.01–3.05)] than those with no depression. Those suffering from depression were almost two times more likely to experience anxiety [AOR = 1.76; 95% CI (1.01–3.05)] than their counterparts.ConclusionOur results revealed that depressive and anxious symptomatology is a health threat in clinical settings that requires enhancement of clinical monitoring and prioritization of mental health in cancer health facilities. Designing biopsychosocial interventions to address associated factors needs special attention to promote the health and wellbeing of patients with cancer.

Published: February 2023

BackgroundSymptomatic Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is easily neglected in the acute abdomen during pregnancy. MD is the most common congenitally anomalous development of the intestines, with an incidence of 2% in the general population, although it is not easily diagnosed because of variable clinical features. Especially when complicated with pregnancy, doctors can easily overlook this disease, which directly threatens maternal and foetal life.Case PresentationWe report the case of a 25-year-old at 32 + 2 weeks of gestation complicated with MD volvulus who presented with progressive abdominal pain and finally peritonitis. She underwent exploratory laparotomy and small-bowel resection. The mother and the baby successfully recovered.ConclusionsMD-complicated pregnancy is not easily diagnosed. Once highly suspiciously diagnosed, especially with peritonitis, surgery should be arranged, which helps preserve maternal and foetal life.

Vernonanthura brasiliana (L.) H. Rob is a medicinal plant used for the treatment of several infections. This study aimed to evaluate the antileishmanial activity of V. brasiliana leaves using in vitro and in silico approaches. The chemical composition of V. brasiliana leaf extract was determined through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The inhibitory activity against Leishmania amazonensis promastigote was evaluated by the MTT method. In silico analysis was performed using Lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase (CYP51) as the target. The toxicity analysis was performed in RAW 264.7 cells and Tenebrio molitor larvae. LC-MS revealed the presence of 14 compounds in V. brasiliana crude extract, including flavonoids, flavones, sesquiterpene lactones, and quinic acids. Eriodictol (ΔGbind = −9.0), luteolin (ΔGbind = −8.7), and apigenin (ΔGbind = −8.6) obtained greater strength of molecular interaction with lanosterol demethylase in the molecular docking study. The hexane fraction of V. brasiliana showed the best leishmanicidal activity against L. amazonensis in vitro (IC50 12.44 ± 0.875 µg·mL−1) and low cytotoxicity in RAW 264.7 cells (CC50 314.89 µg·mL−1, SI = 25.30) and T. molitor larvae. However, the hexane fraction and Amphotericin-B had antagonistic interaction (FICI index ≥ 4.0). This study revealed that V. brasiliana and its metabolites are potential sources of lead compounds for drugs for leishmaniasis treatment.

The maintenance of the symbiosis between leaf-cutting ants and their mutualistic fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus Singer (Moller) is vital for the survival of both species. The specialist fungal parasite Escovopsis weberi Muchovej & Della Lucia is a threat to this symbiosis, causing severe damage to the fungal garden. Mycelial pellets are resistant fungal structures that can be produced under laboratory conditions. These structures were studied for use in biological pest control, but the production of mycelial pellets has not previously been documented in Escovopsis. One of the aims of this study was to induce Escovopsis weberi to produce mycelial pellets and investigate the potential of these pellets for the control of leaf-cutting ants. We compared the pathogenicity of Escovopsis weberi mycelial pellets and conidia against mini-colonies of Acromyrmex subterraneus subterraneus Forel when applied in the form of baits. Worker ants were able to distinguish mycelial pellets from conidia, as baits with mycelial pellets were more attractive to workers than those with conidia, causing a greater negative impact on colony health. All types of baits containing Escovopsis weberi influenced the foraging activity but only treatments with viable fungal propagules resulted in an increase in the quantity of waste material, with a significant negative impact on the fungal garden biomass. The results provided novel information regarding Escovopsis recognition by worker ants and differences between conidia and mycelial pellet dynamics in leaf-cutting ant colonies, with new perspectives for the biological control of these important pests.

Introdução: Estudos evidenciaram o impacto do Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) sobre a gravidade da COVID-19. Manaus foi epicentro da pandemia no Brasil e este estudo avaliou a influência do DM2 sobre desfechos clínicos de pacientes internados por COVID-19 em uma unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) de um hospital da cidade, respectivamente: tempo de internação na UTI, tempo em Ventilação Mecânica Invasiva (VMI), necessidade de hemodiálise e mortalidade na UTI. Métodos: Estudo observacional, retrospectivo, descritivo e analítico através da revisão de 89 prontuários eletrônicos de pacientes internados na UTI do Hospital Universitário Getúlio Vargas (HUGV) entre abril-maio de 2020 e janeiro-fevereiro de 2021, após aplicação dos critérios de seleção. Foram feitas análises entre os dois momentos da pandemia citados e entre pacientes com e sem DM2. Resultados: Pacientes diabéticos apresentaram mais comorbidades (p=0,048), sobretudo hipertensão (p=0,02) e doença cardiovascular (p=0,001). Em média, entre os diabéticos, o tempo de internação na UTI foi 13 dias (p=0,510), o tempo em VMI foi 12 dias (p=0,610), 38,5% realizaram hemodiálise e 96,2% evoluíram para óbito na UTI. Conclusão: A mortalidade na UTI foi superior no segundo momento da pandemia (89,9%, p=0,026), porém o DM2 não influenciou de forma significativa os desfechos clínicos de interesse.

Di Indonesia, industri tekstil dan produk tekstil adalah salah satu penyumbang terbesar dalam peningkatan perekonomian. Namun perkembangan industri yang pesat ini berbanding terbalik dengan keseimbangan lingkungan hidup. Salah satu yang menjadi masalah utama dari limbah cair yang dihasilkan industri tekstil yaitu berupa zat warna. Umumnya limbah cair yang dibuang industri tekstil termasuk senyawa organik yang tidak dapat diuraikan oleh mikroorganisme dengan cepat sehingga dapat menyebabkan polutan bagi lingkungan terutama ekosistem perairan. Beberapa metode yang dapat dilakukan untuk meminimalisir kandungan zat warna dalam limbah industri tekstil antara lain metode biologi, koagulasi, elektrokoagulasi, adsorpsi, ozonisasi, klorinasi. Namun, dari beberapa metode tersebut kurang efektif dalam mengatasi limbah zat warna tekstil bahkan seringkali menimbulkan persoalan baru bagi lingkungan. Salah satu metode pengolahan yang saat ini sedang dikembangkan untuk mendegradasi warna pada limbah cair yakni metode fotokatalis lampu UV-sinar matahari. Metode fotokatalis lampu UV-sinar matahari ini menggunakan oksidasi besi/karbon aktif sebagai katalis. Pengolahan sample warna dilakukan dengan memvariasikan waktu penyinaran, konsentrasi katalis dan memvariasikan jenis sinar yang di aplikasikan ke larutan sampel 200 ml dengan penambahan katalis sebesar 0,1 gram terhadap waktu penyinaran selama 1 jam, 2 jam, 3 jam, 4 jam, dan 5 jam penyinaran lampu UV dan sinar matahari sehingga didapat persentase penurunan absorbansi tertinggi pada konsentrasi katalis 4% FE dalam katalis karbon aktif dan lama penyinaran matahari selama 5 jam dengan penurunan sebesar 97,06% pada sampel limbah tenun.
Towards policies to eradicate ethnic discrimination in amateur sports
Authors: Gomez-Gonzalez Carlos 
Published: February 2023

Field experiments in the last decade documented discrimination in several social domains: labour, housing, education, transportation, and sports. Previous research shows that when asking to join a training with an amateur soccer club, people with foreign-sounding names are significantly less likely to receive a positive response than those with native-sounding names. This result differs in magnitude but is traceable across 23 European countries, including Switzerland (Gomez-Gonzalez et al., 2021; Nesseler et al., 2019). The findings redirect attention from self-segregation to collective exclusion mechanisms when analyzing the ethnic participation gap in amateur sports. The negative implications are magnified as research identifies sport participation as key in promoting social integration among minority group members.
Experimental economics also show that field experiments can play a crucial role in developing effective policies to combat discrimination in the future decade. Previous research demonstrates the importance of intervention studies to test the effectiveness of the policies, as not all have the intended results. Dur et al. (2022) analyze the effectiveness of a low-cost intervention to reduce discrimination among amateur soccer clubs in Norway. A correspondence test is preceded by an anti-discrimination intervention in collaboration with the Norwegian Football Federation (NFF). The intervention is based on an information campaign sent via email to a random selection of amateur soccer clubs, which do not modify their behavior as expected.
The experimental design of an intervention makes it possible to estimate the causal effect of a low-cost policy against discrimination in the field. In this research, I design an intervention to reduce the ethnic response gap among amateur soccer clubs in Switzerland, where more than 1,000 amateur clubs would be subject to an intervention. I explore the features of the information campaign: message, sender, and channel, and potential collaborations with sports governing bodies to increase the impact of such policy.
