IntroductionWork-related burnout (WRB) is the degree of physical and psychological fatigue and exhaustion perceived by individuals as related to their work. Even though the condition is widespread across various occupations, teachers inevitably experience high levels of burnout in their work, which can have long-term effects on their health and well-being. However, in developing countries such as Ethiopia, the lack of reliable data on psychosocial hazards, including work-related burnout, often encumbers officials from planning preventive measures. This study investigated the prevalence and contributing factors of work-related burnout among public secondary school teachers in Gondar City, northwestern Ethiopia.MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2022. A sample of 588 teachers was recruited using simple random sampling. Work-related burnout was assessed using a standardized seven-item Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The collected data were entered into EpiData and analyzed using SPSS. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with work-related burnout.ResultsThe overall response rate was 94.05% (N = 553). The majority of participants, 356 (64.4%), were male. The mean (±SD) age of the participants was 38.74 (±7.65) years. This study demonstrated that the prevalence of work-related burnout among school teachers in the past 12 months was 37.4% (n = 207). High job demands, job stress, job dissatisfaction, low role clarity, and student demotivation were found to be the psychosocial work factors that significantly influenced the prevalence of work-related burnout among school teachers.ConclusionThis study highlights the high prevalence of work-related burnout among public secondary school teachers. Psychosocial work factors such as job demands, job stress, job satisfaction, role clarity, and student demotivation were significant factors influencing work-related burnout. To reduce the condition, it is recommended to take measures to cope with high job demands, improve stress management skills, promote job satisfaction strategies, clarify teachers’ responsibilities, and use effective teaching practices to motivate students. In general, addressing psychosocial work factors needs to be central to efforts to prevent teacher burnout.

Introduction: Microgravity (MG) exposure causes motor deficits and decreased neuronal activity, effects that resemble the ones observed in motor neuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Several recent studies have shown that exposure to MG and ALS also impacts the sensory systems. Yet, the role of sensory impairment in this degenerative process of exposure to MG and ALS remains unknown. In this study, we aimed at elucidating how the sensory system is affected by exposure to MG and ALS.Methods: To this end, we compared gene expression in the mouse lumbar dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of MG-exposed animals with that of control animals that remained under artificial gravity conditions. We then investigated the effects of the human superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) G93A mutation in a mouse model of ALS (SOD1G93A mice) on gene expression in the DRG.Results: The overlap of genes with negatively correlated expression was greater than those with positively correlated expression between the DRG of MG-exposed and SOD1G93A mice. Additionally, genes related to Imoonglia (characteristics of both immune and glial cells) and macrophage increased in response to MG exposure, while satellite glial cell genes were expressed in response to SOD1 mutation. Next, we examined genes related to sensory neuron subtypes in the DRG. We found altered gene expression in genes related to proprioceptive and mechanoreceptive neurons in the DRG of MG-exposed and SOD1G93A mice. Remarkably, the expression of Atf3 and genes related to nociceptive neurons in the DRG of SOD1G93A mice at postnatal day (P) 120 was considerably altered, whereas MG-exposed and SOD1G93A mice at P30 presented little changes.Discussion: These results indicate that exposure to MG and ALS affect gene expression in genes related to neurons and non-neuronal cells in the DRG, with significant differences between the effects of MG and the SOD1 mutation. Elucidation of the impact of exposure to MG and ALS pathogenesis in the DRG, including identification of the molecular pathways that regulate DRG dysfunction, will help better understand the differences in vulnerability and the triggering processes of impaired motor function associated with MG and ALS.

Published: July 2023

BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been shown to cause vasculopathic and hemostatic derangements predisposing to cerebrovascular and thrombotic disorders in adults. Data in children, however, are limited to case reports and series. Given the unique risk factors and potential pathomechanisms in children, it is imperative to characterize stroke in children with COVID-19. Understanding these mechanisms is essential in drafting an appropriate management protocol to improve outcomes in a population where stroke carries higher disability-adjusted life years.MethodsA systematic literature search was done in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and Google Scholar using the terms “pediatric ischemic stroke,” “cerebral sinovenous thrombosis,” “SARS-CoV-2,” and “COVID-19.” Patient demographics, clinical profile, stroke risk factors, neuroimaging findings, interventions and outcomes were recorded.ResultsThe search produced 776 records. After preliminary review of titles, abstracts and selected full texts, 52 articles comprising of 74 patients were studied. The cohort has slight female predominance (51.5%), with mean age of 9.2 years (±2SD 5.6). Pediatric ischemic strokes were categorized as arterial ischemic strokes (82.40%), cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (12.20%) and combined arterial and venous strokes (5.41%). Mechanisms of ischemic stroke included thrombophilia (47.3%), vasculopathies (27%) and cardioembolism (6.8%). Twenty cases (27%) had comorbidities predisposing to stroke and only 18.9% met the criteria for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Outcomes ranged from complete recoveries (13/58), residual deficits (35/58), and mortalities (10/58).ConclusionThis study presents a comprehensive summary of the currently available published literature on pediatric ischemic strokes in the background of COVID-19. The clinical profiles and outcomes of patients reviewed support prior hypotheses that the virus can cause both a vasculopathy and induce a derangement in the coagulation system, predisposing to ischemic strokes.Study registrationThis paper's protocol has been registered in PROSPERO with ID number CRD42022315219.

PurposeTo explore the clinical practice development of different surgical techniques when installing bone-anchored hearing implants and their associated trends in outcomes.DesignRetrospective study of 228 bone-anchored hearing implants in 200 patients, performed over a 10-year period between 2012 and 2022 in a referral hospital.MethodReal-world data of demography, etiology, surgical setup, complications, and audiological outcomes were collected. Eligibility criteria from clinical practice were applied.ResultsThe minimally invasive technique is associated with shorter surgery duration, 20 vs. 44 min as compared to a linear incision technique. The minimally invasive technique was also associated with a lower occurrence of complications when compared to linear incision techniques (intraoperative; 1.8% vs. 4.9%, postoperative; 49% vs. 66%). Most differences were seen in complications relating to skin and wound healing.ConclusionAdoption of a minimally invasive surgical technique for the installations of bone-anchored hearing implants can reduce surgical complexity without compromising safety aspects or clinical benefits.

Interest in developing novel crop protectants has increased in the recent decade due to the harmful effects of synthetic pesticides on humans and the environment. Diaphorina citri threatens the citrus industry worldwide and is the primary vector of phloem-limited bacterium (HLB). However, there is no available cure for HLB. Diaphorina citri management mainly depends on the use of synthetic insecticides, but their massive application leads to resistance in pest populations. Therefore, alternative pest management strategies are needed. Our results indicated that fewer D. citri adults settled on plants treated with AAEO than on control 48 h after release. The psyllids fed on citrus leaves treated with AAEO significantly reduced the honeydew production compared to the control. The AAEO showed potent ovicidal activity against the D. citri eggs with LC50 5.88 mg/mL. Furthermore, we also explored the fitness of D. citri on AAEO-treated and untreated Citrus sinensis by using two-sex life table tools. Our results revealed that the intrinsic rate of increase (r) was higher on untreated seedlings (0.10 d−1) than those treated with an LC20 concentration of AAEO (0.07 d−1). Similarly, the net reproductive rate (R0) was higher for untreated seedlings (14.21 offspring) than those treated (6.405 offspring). Furthermore, the AAEO were safer against Aphis mellifera, with LC50 35.05 mg/mL, which is relatively higher than the LC50 24.40 mg/mL values against D. citri. The results indicate that AAEO exhibits toxic and behavioral effects on D. citri, which can be a potential candidate for managing this pest.

Introduction: Nutrition is a determinant factor of performance in high competitive sports; specifically in youth soccer, the development of superior technical qualities is required to face the physical demands of professional soccer. Several investigations have been carried out that have evaluated anthropometry, body composition, and nutritional intake; however, at a national level, publications in the Colombian population that allow the of anthropometric characteristics related to maturation in adolescent soccer players are scarce. Therefore, the objective of this project was to describe and compare the nutritional-anthropometric status, dietary intake and maturation parameters in Colombian soccer players belonging to the U-15 category. Methods: Anthropometric measurements were taken and a nutritional survey was conducted on 44 U-15 players of the Envigado Fútbol Club in Envigado, Antioquia. Anthropometric parameters were measured according to the standard protocols followed by the ISAK manual. Results: Differences were found in the variables weight, height, wingspan, sitting height, and muscle mass in early maturers with respect to average and late maturers, with early maturers having higher values. Goalkeepers presented greater differences in body weight and adipose mass as opposed to the other playing positions, which could be associated with lower energy expenditure. The average nutritional status indicators of Z BMI-Age and Z Height-Age were adequate, however, the early maturers, on average, were classified as very high for their age (Z Height-Age > 2.0) and only one case classified with risk of height-for-age delay is who presented a late maturation. The average energy intake was 1200 and 1700 kcal ± 400 kcal. Conclusions: Athletes have an adequate nutritional-anthropometric status, a lower energy intake distributed mostly in lipids and carbohydrates and lower in protein than the recommendations for these adolescent athletes.

Introduction: It is well recognized that the Anthropometry of physical traits is crucial for an athlete’s growth to achieve high performance in a particular sport. Knowledge of Kin anthropometry gives us the skills to measure different body parts, including weight, height; diameters, circumferences, and skin folds, and athletes are selected based on these measurements. Studies on the human body's physical qualities show that successful athletes have different morphological characteristics from the general population in terms of somatic traits. Methods: A total of 100 Track and Field athletes were included in this study. Among them 65 were male and 35 were female athletes with a mean age of 22.35 (± 3.23) yrs. 33 Short-distance runners, 33 Middle Distance runners, and 34 long-distance runners were included in the study. Participants’ length measurements like (i) Leg length (ii) Upper leg length (iii) Lower leg length Body Girths (i) Calf girth (ii) Thigh Girths ( iii) Hip Girths, Skeletal Diameters (i) Knee Diameters (ii) Ankle Diameter, Skin fold (i) Calf skin fold (ii) Thigh skin fold (iii) Abdomen were measured. Results: Mean and stranded deviation of height, weight, length measurement, body girths, skeletal diameters, and skin folds were measured and tabulated. The body composition of short, middle, and long-distance runners was Mesomorph – Endomorphic, Mesomorph – Mesomorphic, and Ectomorph – Mesomorphic respectively. Conclusion: The study concluded that anthropometrical characteristics were one of the most influential factors in determining good athletic Physical performances. Each sport possesses a different body type and anthropometric data plays a vital role in the selection of athletes.

Farmakokinetika Dan Pendosisan Gentamisin Pada Pasien Pediatri
Authors: Baiq Risky  
Published: July 2023

ABSTRAK

Gentamisin merupakan antibiotik yang umum digunakan pada periode neonatal dan anak-anak untuk mengatasi infeksi bakteri gram negatif. Variabilitas yang tinggi dan farmakokinetika gentamisin yang tidak terprediksi pada populasi pediatri mendasari pentingnya pendosisan yang terindividualisasi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan mengenai faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perbedaan farmakokinetika, pertimbangan pendosisan, dan monitoring gentamisin pada populasi pediatri. Pemberian gentamisin direkomendasikan dengan dosis 5 mg/kgBB dengan interval 24, 48, atau 72 jam. Nilai Cmax dan Ctrough yang disarankan untuk gentamisin adalah 5-12 µg/ml dan 0,5-1 µg/ml. Pemberian sekali sehari menghasilkan konsentrasi sebelum dosis selanjutnya (Ctrough) yang lebih rendah dan kadar puncak yang lebih tinggi. Pendosisan harus mempertimbangkan faktor farmakokinetika obat pada anak, penyakit, target Cmax dan Ctrough, dan post-antibiotic effect dari gentamicin. Pemberian gentamisin dengan interval diperpanjang pada populasi anak terbukti menghasilkan target konsentrasi yang lebih baik tanpa meningkatkan toksisitasnya. Monitoring terapi obat tetap diperlukan untuk meminimalkan potensi toksisitas.
