ABSTRACT

Background:
The second wave of COVID-19 was disastrous and claimed many lives in India and abroad. The most challenging task was to provide the required treatment as per the patient’s condition, within a limited span of time. The lack of prognostic predictors at the time of admission led to failure in prioritizing the patient’s need for intensive care.

Aim:
This study was conducted to find out the clinical and laboratory parameters at the time of admission to ICU as predictors of outcomes in COVID-19 patients, which can help in judicious utilization of the available resources for better patient care.

Subjects and Methods:
Study comprises of 161 ICU admitted patients. Study of clinical traits, comorbidities, test results, and demographic variables were carried out among survivors and non-survivor.

Result:
Maximum death were patients of age group 21–30 years and male gender. Mortality in hypertensives, diabetics, and patients with sepsis were found to be statistically significant. Patients who developed ARDS and pneumonia or needed ventilation died invariably. High levels of laboratory parameters like IL-6, LDH, PT, INR, aPTT, ferritin, WBC count, and D-dimer were significantly associated with poor outcomes and at a particular cutoff had optimum sensitivity and specificity to predict mortality in ICU admitted COVID-19 patients. At the same time, low lymphocyte count and PaO2/FiO2 ratio was significantly associated with bad prognosis (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
This paper will help in prioritizing patients in ICU who need special attention especially at the time of meager supply of resources.

Objective

: Preventive/regular health checkups have gained prominence over the past decade due to lifestyle-associated risks. The association of physical health checkups and mental health with “well-being,” remains unclear. Most of the time less attention is given to psychological health and its importance in physical health and disease. Patients with chronic illness may encounter irreversible changes in health status and may lead to mortality. This is closely related to psychological distress and approximately 6%–34% of the patients with chronic illness developed depression. The objective of the present study is to find the correlation between the psychological well-being and chronic disease of people attending the executive health checkup.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospital at Belagavi. The study enrolled 768 individuals based on 52% prevalence of hypertension reporting for an executive health checkup and evaluated their demographic profile and adapted “The Scales of Psychological Well-Being” SPARQ tool of (18 items) questionnaire.

Results:
The mean age of the participants was 67.06 ± 32.94 years and a M: F ratio was 2:1. Multiple linear regression equation of psychological wellbeing of patients (Y) in terms of parameters of chronic diseases was found to be under psychological wellbeing (Y) =331.1862-0.1378 BMI-0.0368SBP-0.7161DBP-0.2030 FBS + 0.2727 PPBS-30.8144 HBA1C-0.0682 cholesterol.

Conclusions:
There is a significant and negative relationship between psychological well-being with parameters of chronic diseases.

Published: March 2023

Objectives:
The objective of this study is to assess and correlate adverse drug events following coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccination with blood group and dietary style.

Methodology:
This is a cross-sectional study carried out from May 2021 to July 2021. A prevalidated Google questionnaire containing demographic details, dietary style, blood group, preexisting diseases, and adverse events of the COVID vaccine was circulated to all health-care professionals of our institution through mail/WhatsApp. Informed consent was obtained (in Google Forms) from all the participants after describing the purpose of the study and the assurance to maintain anonymity and confidentiality. A total of 102 responses were collected, out of which 100 (n = 100) responses were analyzed and interpreted (two responses were excluded since participants are not vaccinated). The descriptive statistical method is applied for the assessment of adverse events. The Chi-square test is applied to assess the correlation between adverse events with blood group and dietary style. P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.

Results:
The majority of the participants had comorbidities (80%) and were not infected with COVID (90%) before vaccination. Pain at the injection site is very frequently experienced followed by body aches, fatigue, fever, and weakness of the arm. The Chi-square correlation test showed that nonvegetarians had a significantly higher incidence of pain at the injection site compared to vegetarians [χ2 = 7.799, P < 0.004]. However, the study did not find a significant association between other adverse events with blood group and dietary style of the participants (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
The present study concludes that study participants experienced minor adverse events following Covishield and Covaxin; pain at the injection site, myalgia, and fever are more frequent. Moreover, there is a higher incidence of injection site pain in nonvegetarians compared to vegetarians. However, there is no significant association between other adverse events with blood group and dietary style of the participants.

Published: March 2023

Introduction:
Hypertension is one of the most important global public health concerns because it increases ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular sickness, and chronic kidney failure. The 2015 Global Burden of Disease report connected 79 risk factors to 41% of all disability-adjusted life years in 2015, with high blood pressure (BP) being the greatest significant risk, surpassing smoking, and obesity.

Materials and Methods:
The research group conducted a prospective study design in the primary health-care setting of a South Indian city to evaluate the effectiveness of a BP control program. The patients' health was checked, and the results were evaluated over the course of a year. People with hypertension (BP more than 140/90 mmHg) were included in the hypertension group, as were those who had a current diagnosis of hypertension or were using BP medication.

Results:
The participants in this study were 286 persons with high BP, with an average age of 63.4 years. The average age of the participants was 70 years or older and 53.8% were female. Smokers made up 10.7% of the population, drinkers made up 16.6%, and moderate physical activity was practiced by 18.4% of the participants.

Conclusion:
Increased public awareness of the need of measuring BP is required to avoid the disastrous effects of inadequate BP control.

Due to its wide range of utilization possibilities, boxwood has undergone severe damage, like all over the world, caused by the excessive forest use in Türkiye from the past to the present. Therefore, it is important to propagate it to ensure the continuity of the species. In this study, the effects of different rooting table temperatures and phytohormones on rooting were investigated in the propagation of Buxus sempervirens L. subsp. sempervirens by softwood cutting. First callus and root formation dates, rooting percentage, callus percentage, root length and the number of roots were determined on the cuttings. As a result, the highest rooting percentages were obtained as 100% in IBA 3,000, IBA 5,000, IAA 3,000, NAA 3,000 and NAA 5,000 ppm treatments in Greenhouse-1 medium and IBA 3,000 and IAA 3,000 ppm treatments in Greenhouse-2 medium. In terms of root length and the number of roots, the highest values were determined as 2.01 cm and 7.83, respectively, in IBA 3,000 ppm treatment in Greenhouse-2 medium. With the high success obtained, it has been concluded that the propagation of the species can be made by using softwood cutting and the genetic infrastructure of the species can be preserved and transferred to future generations.

Published: March 2023

Objective: to assess the psychophysiological and functional state of the body of basketball students in the pre-competition period.Materials and methods: the study involved female basketball students with a sports category (girls, n = 18) in the pre-competition period. The article presents an analysis of the results of the psychophysiological and functional state of the body of the examined, obtained through the use of complex control using psychodiagnostic and functional research methods.Results: indicators of psychodiagnostic techniques characterize the insufficient development of the studied properties of attention for those engaged in playing sports and the fitness of the functional abilities of the leading hand of basketball players. The revealed data of the tapping test correspond to the criterion of the lower limit of optimal performance, which causes insufficient physical readiness for competitive activity. The obtained results of temporal and spectral indicators of heart rate variability were not typical for students engaged in playing sports, which causes an increase in the degree of tension of regulatory systems and characterizes the development of fatigue in the pre-competition period of the surveyed athletes. The use of the spirometric method determined the discrepancy between the results obtained and the proper values characteristic of the weight and height parameters of the subjects, which indicates violations of the ventilatory function of the lungs and reduced respiratory musculature capabilities of basketball students.Conclusion: the analysis of the obtained data on the psychophysiological and functional state of the body of basketball students in the pre-competition period determines the need to build a training process with the inclusion of psychological and pedagogical training aimed at expanding the physiological reserves of functional systems, improving the psychomotor properties of the body that determine the success of competitive activity and increasing the share of training effects aimed at improving the quality of strength endurance.

Introducción: La estigmatización, entendida como un conjunto de estereotipos negativos representa una interacción negativa con la cual las personas con esquizofrenia lidian día a día. El presente artículo revisa la posible influencia del estigma en el inicio, curso y volución ocupacional de personas con esquizofrenia. Objetivo: Analizar la influencia que tienen el estigma en el desempeño de las áreas de ocupación, así como la inserción e inclusión dentro de la sociedad de las personas con esquizofrenia. También, se pretende analizar cómo funcionan las medidas implementadas para mitigar la estigmatización hacia esta población. Material y método: Revisión bibliográfica con características de estudio de abordaje cualitativo, descriptivo, transversal. Se revisaron revistas con artículos cuyas variables se situarán en pacientes diagnosticados con esquizofrenia. Resultados: Los resultados detallan información actual acerca de la influencia que tiene la estigmatización de la esquizofrenia en el desempeño de las áreas de ocupación. Conclusiones: se evidenció la existencia de creencias irracionales vinculadas a la peligrosidad, violencia, inestabilidad, anormalidad, incurabilidad, falta de control e impredecibilidad con la esquizofrenia, todo esto influenciado por los medios de comunicación y la religión de cada cultura; se determinó que las áreas de ocupación con mayor afectación tras el estigma son el trabajo, las actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria, el manejo de la salud, la participación social, la educación, el juego y el ocio, limitando al individuo de manera global en la inserción e inclusión dentro de la sociedad.
Regulations governing student internship programme in Ghana: A sequential explanatory multi-stakeholder approach
Authors: Arthur Patrick , Koomson Samuel 
Published: March 2023

This paper seeks to ascertain the regulations governing student internship programme in Ghana. The sequential explanatory mixed methods approach was utilised. Two separate structured questionnaires were administered to students and senior members (lecturers and administrators) of six selected technical universities (TUs); whereas members of industry, executives of business associations and government regulatory bodies in the tertiary sector of Ghana’s education system were interviewed, using an interview guide. This paper found that no clear legal and regulatory framework govern student internship in Ghana. Specifically, there was no Industrial Training Fund Act in Ghana that promoted and encouraged the acquisition of skills in industry and commerce. Industries were not obliged to accept students for internship. Travel to and from work by interns were not covered by insurance. Students on internship were not covered by the host company’s collective bargaining agreement. There was no well-defined enforceable law requiring TUs to secure internship placement for students, although, some regulatory bodies insisted that TUs showed evidence of their ability to secure placements for their students for industrial training before awarding programme accreditation. There were no penalties levelled TUs who failed to secure internship placements. Interns were largely not covered by any special health insurance package by employers during in cases of injury, theft or death. This paper synchronises the perspectives of multiple actors on the regulations governing student internship programme, presenting useful suggestions which provides information to government, business associations, employers, and TUs for policy planning, formulation and implementation of student internship in Ghana.
