Authors: Wei Guomin , Sarman Asmawan Mohd , Gungat Lillian , Li Minghe , Shen Ling 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT
This papers offers a more simple and effective method to simulate indoor and outdoor wind field at the same time, while also exploring the influence of indoor wind field on air conditioning energy consumption. This paper presents an application framework for simulating indoor and outdoor wind field and an air conditioning system based on BIM. Through the BIM software with built-in CFD calculation, the indoor and outdoor wind environment is simulated, and it is found that the outdoor vertical wind field has a certain influence on indoor ventilation. Meanwhile, the air conditioning energy consumption of the building is calculated, and the influence of indoor natural ventilation on air conditioning energy consumption is quantified. This paper provides important guidance for building researchers and practitioners to better align BIM development with green building development in the future.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT
The design process influences the resulting environmental impacts and life cycle costs. Life cycle assessment can assist the construction industry in selecting more sustainable technological alternatives. In this context, wall systems play a significant role in the environmental and economic performance of a building. This paper compares the potential energy, costs, and environmental impacts of three structural wall construction systems (ceramic, concrete, and soil-cement blocks) for standard residential housing in Southern Brazil, considering a 50-year lifespan. The highest environmental impacts are related to the use stage of all three systems. The ceramic brick system presents the highest impact in the product stage, the concrete block system in the use stage, and the soil cement brick system in the construction stage. The concrete block system presents the highest relative net present value, followed by soil cement and ceramic brick systems. The impacts for the soil-cement block system are similar to those for ceramic block, while the concrete block system is the most expensive, energy demanding, and CO2 releasing. The results demonstrate the importance of producing criteria for architectural decision-making based on scientific evidence when choosing wall systems.

Authors: Sharmin Farzana , Hasan Mehedi , Azad Abul Kalam , Islam Mohammad Ariful 
Published: September 2023

Objective:
To determine the urinary tract infections (UTIs)-causing bacterial profile and antibiotic susceptibility pattern for the proper and complete treatment of UTIs in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods:
We collected 300 urine samples from diabetic and nondiabetic pregnant women at various gestational ages. After isolating and identifying uropathogens, we conducted an antibiotic sensitivity assay against fourteen commonly used antibiotics: amikacin, amoxicillin, ampicillin, azithromycin, cefixime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, ciprofloxacin, co-trimoxazole, gentamicin, levofloxacin, netilmicin, nitrofurantoin.

Results:
Among the participants, 70% had DM but only 37.3% had positive uropathogen growth. Five gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter spp., and Pseudomonas spp.) and 3 gram-positive bacteria (Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp.) were indentified. Escherichia coli was the most prevalent bacteria (57.1%), followed by Klebsiella spp. (19.6%). In the antibiotic susceptibility assay, we found 96.5% of the isolated organisms were highly susceptible to levofloxacin, 94.2% to netilmicin, 88.2% to nitrofurantoin, 85.1% to amikacin, 79.8% to gentamicin, respectively. On the other hand, 64.8%, 63.6%, 61.8% of the isolates demonstrated high-level resistance to ampicillin, ceftazidime and amoxicillin whereas 38.0%, 37.1%, 33.6%, 30.9% and 30.0% of the organisms were resistant to co-trimoxazole, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, cefuroxime, cefixime, respectivey.

Conclusions:
Our results suggest that amikacin, levofloxacin, netilmicin, nitrofurantoin, and gentamycin can be used as first-line treatments for UTIs, whether the patient has DM or not. Contrarily, amoxicillin, ampicillin, ceftazidime, azithromycin, and co-trimoxazole should be avoided in treating UTIs.

Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background:
The objectives of the study are to evaluate quality of life (QoL) among the elderly and to determine the association between socio-demographic factors and QoL.

Methods:
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in elderly subjects (aged 60 years and above) (n = 120) in the urban field practice areas of our tertiary care teaching institute in southern India. QoL was assessed using World Health Organization-QoL BREF Questionnaire.

Results:
Most of the study population were aged 60–69 years (65.8%), males (51.7%), from nuclear families (78.3%), Hindus (67.5%) and were literates (78.3%). Majority of families belong to the upper lower socio-economic group (45%). Most of them belonged to the backward caste communities (30%). The mean total QoL score was high among ≥80 years, males, illiterates and upper class. All these differences were statistically non-significant. However, the mean total QoL score showed significant relation with socio-economic class. The domain correlation ranged between 0.238 and 0.690 and was statistically significant.

Conclusions:
Most of the study population were leading moderate QoL, followed by good QoL. Based on total domain QoL scores, it is concluded from this study that overall QoL is good among elderly ≥80 years, males, illiterates and the population in the upper socio-economic class. The mean total QoL score showed a significant relation with socio-economic class.

Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background:
Obstetric critical care is of utmost importance and interventions in intensive care unit (ICU) can improve the maternal outcome. The efficient scoring systems for such critically ill patients are the need of the hour.

Methods:
We prospectively studied the characteristics and outcome of 75 critically ill obstetrics patients admitted to the ICU of our tertiary care teaching hospital.

Results:
Their mean age was 27.2 ± 5.0 years. Hypertensive diseases of pregnancy (n = 51; 68%) were the most common reasons for ICU admission; hypothyroidism (13.3%) was the most common comorbid condition. The mean ICU stay and mean hospital stay were 4.6 ± 2.5 days and 8.2 ± 4.1 days, respectively. Compared to survivors, patients who died had a significantly higher sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score (6.5 ± 0.8 vs. 2.5 ± 1.1; P < 0.0001) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score, respectively. The predicted mortality by APACHE II score was 11.3 ± 6.4 and the observed mortality rate was 21.3% (P < 0.0001).

Conclusions:
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were the most common indication for ICU admission. The SOFA, APACHE II and length of hospital stay were the most important predictors of maternal mortality.

Published: September 2023

Objective:
Pediatric burns pose difficult healthcare issues in underdeveloped nations. Due to the scarcity of pediatric burn care facilities and qualified burn-care staff, patients are frequently referred from a rural hospital. This study explores the burn-treatment approach that could be used in rural hospitals in the absence of a dedicated pediatric burn care facility.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 199 children who received treatment for burn-injury in an isolated general surgical ward. Wound debridement under anesthesia at the earliest was the cornerstone of the treatment plan for this cohort. Until the wounds healed, the treatment was repeated every alternate day. The patient's demographic data, number of surgical dressings, length of hospital stay, and outcome were analyzed.

Results:
The mean age of the patients was 51.68 ± 23.79 months. The male-female ratio was 1.45:1. The survival rate was 99.00%. The disability rate was 4.52%. Univariate logistic regression identified the age group, total body surface area affected, depth of the wound, and time of intervention as statistically significant variables (P < 0.05) predicting the disfigurement. Multivariate logistic regression identified the time intervals between surgical intervention and injury as an important predictor of morbidity. In addition, delayed presentation and delayed intervention led to a longer hospital stay, and more interventions than the early intervention cohort.

Conclusions:
Early debridement accelerates recovery and lessens the need for future skin grafts or contracture procedures. This approach can be used in rural hospitals as well because pediatric burns can be manageable in an isolated general ward.
The effect of risk perception and COVID-19 anxiety in pregnancy on decision-making via the Internet and prenatal care quality
Authors: OUYABA Ayşe Taştekin , TAŞKIN Şehadet 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Risk perception and COVID-19 anxiety in pregnant women restrict access to health services, cause pregnant women to resort to alternative channels such as the Internet, and affect prenatal care quality (PCQ) negatively.

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of risk perception and COVID-19 anxiety in pregnancy on decision-making via the Internet (DMI) and PCQ with multivariate analysis.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted with 406 pregnant women selected using the convenience sampling method in a training and research hospital, in Turkey. The data were collected using the information form, the perception of pregnancy risk questionnaire, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, the DMI Scale, and the PCQ Scale. The data obtained were subject to descriptive analysis and the multivariate analysis of variance.

Results:
Approximately 24.9% of the pregnant women were found to have a high perception of risk and 18% had symptoms of COVID-19 anxiety. Pregnant women with high COVID-19 anxiety and a higher perception of risk perceived the Internet as less influential for decision-making (P < 0.05). Pregnant women with a high-risk perception had lower PCQ (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
The findings can be used to enhance mental health and resilience in pregnant women and to formulate appropriate intervention strategies.

Authors: GUAN Fengguang , JI Qiulu 
Published: September 2023

Objective:
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of health Qigong on the rehabilitation of hemiplegic patients after stroke.

Methods:
The randomized controlled trials on health Qigong intervention in rehabilitation after stroke were searched in eight databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang Database, and VIP Database from the inception to February 2022, and the data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software.

Results:
A total of 17 studies involving 1146 hemiplegic patients after stroke were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the motor function and activities of daily living in the intervention group were better than those in the control group at different intervention times (intervention time <3 months and 3 months–24 weeks) (P < 0.01). When the intervention time was <3 months, the improvement of balance function in the intervention group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.01). However, when the intervention time was 3 months–24 weeks, there was no significant difference in the balance function between the intervention group and the control group (P = 0.10).

Conclusion:
Health Qigong has a positive effect on the improvement of motor function and activities of daily living in hemiplegic patients after stroke, but the improvement of balance function is not sure. Due to the low overall quality of the included literature and the heterogeneity of some research results, more rigorous randomized controlled trials are needed to verify its efficacy.
