Published: May 2023

Abstract
It is crucial that policy makers, healthcare providers and relevant stakeholders understand how integrated care may be improved at our emergency departments (EDs) and what benefits that would bring. The potential that exists for right-siting care of special patient groups who could be managed in an ambulatory setting with the integration of a variety of hospital-based and community-based clinical support services is tremendous. This review describes the best practice and value of integrated care at the EDs. Local evidence is cited and compared with findings from overseas. The opportunities of care transition interventions among discharged patients are outlined, including that for paediatric patients, palliative care patients and patients with chronic diseases. This review also suggests ways to move forward to meet the aim of providing holistic care at EDs through integrated care programmes, innovation and research.
Electronically tunable compact inductance simulator with experimental verification

Published: May 2023

AbstractA novel inductance simulation circuit employing only two dual‐output voltage‐differencing buffered amplifiers (DO‐VDBAs) and a single capacitance (grounded) is proposed in this paper. The reported configuration is a purely resistor‐less realization that provides electronically controllable realized inductance through biasing quantities of DO‐VDBAs and does not rely on any constraints related to matched values of parameters. This structure exhibits excellent behavior under the influence of tracking errors in DO‐VDBAs and does not exhibit instability at high frequencies. The simple and compact metal‐oxide semiconductor (MOS) implementation of the DO‐VDBAs (eight MOS per DO‐VDBA) and adoption of grounded capacitance make the proposed circuit suitable for on‐chip realization from the perspective of chip area consumption. The function of the pure grounded inductance is validated through high pass/bandpass filtering applications. To test the proposed design, simulations were performed in the PSPICE environment. Experimental validation was also conducted using the integrated circuit CA3080 and operational amplifier LF‐356.

ABSTRACT. Three compounds, phenyl propenone, p-tolyl propenone, and bromo phenylpropenone derivatives 3a-c were produced in good yields via condensation derivatives of acetophenone with dimethyl formamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA) in presence of xylene as a solvent. Compounds 5a-f were produced by coupling the enaminones 3a-c with diazonium chloride 4a or 4b. Compounds 5a-f were reacted with acetone to create novel disperse dyes 9a-f. Mass spectra, (FT-IR), elemental analysis, and 1H-NMR spectra were used to confirm the chemical structure of the new dyes. The new disperse dyes were used in dyeing polyester fabrics at low temperature, and fabrics with colors ranging from yellowish brown to dark yellowish brown were obtained. Thus, the different fastness properties of these dyed fabrics were studied, which gave excellent results. Finally, the biological activity of these new dyes was studied, which showed that they have biological activity against bacteria and fungi.

The growth and development outcomes of the foetuses born by mothers who prenatally get exposed to lamotrigine (LAMT) have not been well established. Lamotrigine is an anticonvulsant medicine used in the management of acute epileptic seizures, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, fibromyalgia, schizophrenia, unipolar depression, bipolar I disorder maintenance among others. Though currently lamotrigine is being prescribed as a first line medicine in the management of these maternal conditions, past studies are not conclusive on its teratogenic effects on growth and development of embryos and foetuses upon its in-utero exposure, with some demonstrating no effects, while others recommend further studies. Data on growth and development effects upon administration of lamotrigine at varying dosages at different trimesters will therefore be of help to the expectant mothers who consume lamotrigine, developing embryos and foetuses as well as guide the clinicians on the dosage and when to prescribe lamotrigine. A post- test-only experimental design was adopted using 30 female sexually mature rats of 250 + 30grams.These female albino rats were divided into two main groups of 3 rats in the control group and 27 rats in the dosage group. Excel spreadsheets were used to code the data and was analyzed in SPSS. Study findings were expressed as mean + standard error of the mean (SEM). Values whose p<.05 were reported as being statistically significant different. Study findings depicted a reduction in mean fetal weight (FW), mean crown-rump length (CRL), mean bi-parietal diameter (BD), mean head circumference (HC) as well as mean head length (HL) in a time and dose related manner. More reduction in foetal growth and development parameters were observed in high lamotrigine dosages, especially when administrations were done during the first and the second trimesters. Further studies with animals close to human species are recommended to guide on the safety human therapeutic dosages.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: To investigate public awareness and source of information regarding the management of the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic among Jordanians.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Jordan during the COVID-19 outbreak from March 25th to April 29th, 2020. A validated online questionnaire addressing participants' current awareness about COVID-19 pandemics, source of information, and perspectives of their role. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. Descriptive analysis data were reported as mean and standard deviations for continuous variables and percentages were used for qualitative variables. P-values ≤ 0.05 were considered significant.
Results: This study involved 409 participants that had a mean age of 26.2 ± 8.7 years and 76.3 % were females. Nearly 67.7 % of the participants obtained their information about COVID-19 from social media, and 16.6 % from governmental agencies. Furthermore, 70.7 % of participants believed that wearing a medical face mask is not necessary to protect against COVID-19, about 95.6 % of the participants agreed to take COVID-19 detection tests when they suffer from symptoms related to COVID-19 infection, and 98.8 % agreed to visit the hospital if they have the infection.
Conclusion: This survey has shown the importance of public awareness in the prevention and control of pandemic diseases. Most Jordanian participants have good knowledge of COVID-19 as a deadly disease that spreads rapidly among the population in a community. Furthermore, the people have awareness of drugs that enhance the immune system. This public awareness made Jordan one of the countries with reduced number of weekly recorded cases of COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic.
Perceptions of pharmacists and other healthcare professionals on marketed mobile applications used for self-management by type 2 diabetic patients: A systematic review
Authors: Vukmirović Dušan , Krajnović Dušanka , Odalović Marina 
Published: May 2023

Purpose: To determine the level of awareness, beliefs and experience of healthcare professionals (HCPs) regarding mobile applications for self-management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: This review was done by searching the literature using three databases viz: PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. Assessment of quality of studies was carried out using the scale of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The results were presented in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
Results: The search strategy identified 725 unique research papers, 4 of which were included. A survey among pharmacists showed that 56 % of participants were aware of the existence of mobile health applications, and that 60 % of those who were aware recommended their use. In the multi-HCPs setting, depending on the study, apps recommendation rate varied from 45.5 to 62 %. Most of the participants (88 %) agreed that a mobile app would help strengthen their treatment recommendations to the patients (88 %), and 84 % also agreed that it would help patients manage diabetes better.
Conclusion: Not much research has been done on this topic. Available data suggest that the awareness of HCPs regarding mobile applications is unsatisfactory, and that those familiar with these apps find them useful and are ready to recommend them to patients. There is need for further research and measures to increase awareness and knowledge of HCPs about available mobile applications, in order to ensure adequate support to patients with diabetes.

Authors: Ye Jianhua , Shen Shenghui , Dai Xialing , Zhang Tianjie 
Published: May 2023

Purpose: To evaluate the ameliorative effect of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP) in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) rats through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway.
Methods: The MIRI rat model was established. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to sham, MIRI, and ASP low-dose (50 mg/kg) and high-dose (100 mg/kg) groups, and a model of hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury was established. In in vitro studies, H/R cardiomycetes (derived from neonatal cell culture) were randomized to control, H/R, H/R + ASP low dose (5 μg/mL), H/R + ASP high dose (10 μg/mL), and ASP high dose + TLR4 activator groups.
Results: After intragastric administration of ASP for 4 consecutive weeks, creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were reduced after ASP treatment in MIRI rats (p < 0.05). Both in vivo and in vitro, ASP reduced TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β expressions (p < 0.05), and alleviated inflammatory response. Apoptosis was inhibited by ASP, which also increased Bcl2, reduced Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expressions, while TLR-4, p-IκBα, and p-p65 were decreased.
Conclusion: The cardioprotective effect of ASP on MIRI results in the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB pathway. Thus, this study broadens the current body of knowledge on the pharmacological prevention of MIRI and the therapeutic potential of ASP.

Published: May 2023

Aim. The aim of this study was to analyze eating behavior and leptin receptor (LEPR) gene in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Materials and methods. 83 patients with T2D (62 women, 21 men) aged 59.0 ± 9.9 years and 134 people without clinical and laboratory signs of diabetes mellitus (105 women, 29 men) aged 55.0 ± 10.2 years were examined. Bulimia nervosa was excluded in all the patients. Eating behavior was assessed using Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire, V.A. Losenkov’sImpulsivity Questionnaire. Genotyping of the LEPR gene rs1137100 marker was performed using polymerase chain reaction. The Mann-Whitney U-test and Pearson chi-square were used to compare the values of the variables; ROC-analysis was performed. Results. The emotional eating was more pronounced in T2D group (4.9 (4.1; 5.2) vs 3.1 (2.8; 3.8), p < 0.0001), but the restrained (2.8 (2.6; 3.6) vs 3.3 (2.6; 4.2), p < 0.0001) and external eating was less pronounced (3.3 (3.0; 3.8) vs 3.8 (3.3; 4.4), p < 0.0001), T2D patients were also less impulsive (47 (38; 66) vs 61 (54.5; 70), p < 0.0001). These differences for emotional eating are confirmed in both subgroup of excess body weight and in subgroups of all degrees of obesity. The best predictive model of T2D was obtained for emotional eating with a cut-off point 4.1 scores: sensitivity 74.7 %, specificity 79.1 %, AUROC = 0.777; 95 % confidence interval: 0.715–0.830, p < 0.0001. The distribution of genotypes by the polymorphic marker rs1137100 of the LEPR gene was similar in both groups. Restrictive eating was lower in patients with GG genotype compared to AA and GA (1.77 ± 0.52 vs 2.94 ± 0.08, p < 0.01). Conclusion. Рatients with T2D are characterized by emotional eating behavior. The association of the polymorphic locus rs1137100 of the LEPR gene with restrained eating behavior in T2D suggests the presence of genetic factors for the formation of eating patterns.

Background: Arthritis is an inflammatory disease that affects the joints. Patients suffering from chronic pain are anxious, which contributes to reducing the quality of life. The development of analgesic compounds with anxiolytic properties could prove to be of great interest for the treatment of chronic pain. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the analgesic and anxiolytic properties of the aqueous extract of the bark of the trunk of Diospyros mespiliformis in arthritic mice.
Methods: Arthritis was induced by injection of 1% formaline into the left hind paw of the animals. Inflammatory pain and comorbid anxiety were tested using a hotplate (55 ± 0.5 °C) and labyrinths (Dark and Light and the open arena), respectively.
Results: The aqueous extract of Diospyros mespiliformis reduced the inflammatory process by inhibiting the edema of the legs of animals to a maximum percentage of 63.63 % as well as the significant increase (p < 0.001) of the threshold of nociception at the dose of 100 mg/kg. A significant increase (p < 0.001) in the time spent in the lighted compartment alongside the decrease in the time spent in the dark environment was observed with the two-compartment maze. In the open arena the time spent in the central plaza significantly (p < 0.001) increased compared to the time spent on the edge. In addition, a significant decrease (p < 0.01) in the frequency of grooming and reaning was observed.
Conclusion: The aqueous extract of the bark of the trunk of Diospyros mespiliformis displayed beneficial effects on pain and anxiety, justifying it traditional use for the management of arthritis.
