IntroductionWe present the preliminary report of the first 60 cases of robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSCP) performed with a minimally invasive approach by using the new HUGO RAS system (Medtronic) with the aim of assessing its feasibility, safety and efficacy.MethodsResults in terms of operative time, intraoperative blood loss, post-operative pain, length of hospitalisation, intra and post-operative complications were comparable to previously described laparoscopic and robotic techniques.ResultsUrogynecological assessment at three months follow up showed surgical anatomic success in 96.7% of patients (&lt;2 POP-Q stage), while subjective cure rate was 98.3%.ConclusionsThis is the first series analyzing RSCP outcomes for POP using the new Hugo RAS system. Our results suggest effectiveness both in objective and subjective outcomes, with minimal intra and post-operative complications. Larger series as well as longer follow-up are needed to better define advantages and possible disadvantages of this novel system. Our work may represent the basis of future studies to confirm its safety, efficacy and feasibility, and may provide technical notes for other centres that wish to perform RSCP through this innovative system.

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of our surgical informed consent and parents'/guardians' late recall of surgical procedures and risks of elective day surgery after pre-operative interview with surgeons.MethodsAll parents/guardians of patients &lt;18 years of age undergoing minor and intermediate elective procedures from January 15th to September 1st, 2022, were prospectively enrolled in the study. Before discharge, parents/guardians were asked to complete an in-house questionnaire regarding the duration of the consent procedure, duration of the interview, quality of the informative handouts, and their ability to recall the type of disease, type of surgical procedure, and surgical risks.ResultsOne hundred and two questionnaires were returned. In all cases, informed consent was obtained between 24 and 72 h prior to surgery. The following responses were collected: 98/102 (96%) parents/guardians reported that the duration of the consent process was adequate; 95/102 (93%) reported that the handouts were fully informative, and 7/102 (7%) reported that they were partially informative regarding explanation of the disease and surgical procedure; regarding complications, 93/102 (91%) perceived the handouts to be fully/partially informative, while 4/102 (4%) perceived the handouts to be poorly/non-informative, and 5/102 (5%) did not provide a response; 94/102 (92%) stated that they remembered the pathology, but only 87/94 (93%) recalled it correctly; 90/102 (88%) stated that they remembered the type of procedure, but only 76/90 (84%) recalled it correctly; and 53/102 (52%) stated that they remembered the surgical risks, but only 20/53 (38%) could recall more than one complication.ConclusionsLate recall of surgical complications by parents was poor despite the high perceived quality of the surgical risk handouts and medical interview. Implementation of expedient methods may improve overall comprehension and satisfaction of parents/guardians regarding the IC process. Further, more efforts should be made to develop standardized guidelines for an optimal IC process.

Exposure to long-term chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) can cause redox imbalance and inflammation, which may affect the integrity of the gut barrier. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of a probiotics bacterium mixture, including Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) and Bifidobacterium infantis (B. infantis), on the intestinal homeostasis in rats exposed to multiple low-intensity stressors for 28 days. The mechanism of CUMS-induced altered intestinal homeostasis was evaluated by focusing on the nuclear factor-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2) pathway. In contrast to the CUMS group, probiotic mixture supplementation significantly (p < 0.01) reversed the stress-induced elevated corticosterone level, protein and lipid oxidation, and increased enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant levels, as well as upregulated Nrf-2/HO-1 pathway. Probiotics supplementation further significantly (p < 0.01) decreased the CUMS-induced inflammation, altered T-lymphocyte levels, and suppressed the protein expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in rat intestines. Improvement in histological changes and intestinal barrier integrity further validate the beneficial effects of probiotic mixtures on CUMS-induced altered intestinal morphology. In conclusion, our results suggest that the combination of C. butyricum and B. infantis significantly attenuated CUMS-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and T-lymphocyte modulation by upregulating Nrf-2/HO-1 signaling and inhibiting NF-κB expression in rat intestine.

Factors Impacting Intention of Formalisation of Egyptian MSMEs; What about Social Media?
Authors: Miniesy Rania , Fakhreldin Hadia 
Published: May 2023

Research on the impact of social media (SM) on the formalisation – switching from the informal to the formal sector – of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is scant if existent; Egypt is no exception. The need for MSMEs to increase productivity and growth are vital to Egypt’s own growth and development, and formalisation tops the list of prerequisites. This study aims to examine the impact of the factors perceived by informal entrepreneurs to motivate/hinder formalisation on those entrepreneurs’ intention to formalise their MSMEs. SM usage is a new factor whose impact on the intention of formalisation is also investigated. This is accomplished by adopting the conceptual framework of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). A logistic regression model was used on data collected through questionnaires from a sample of Egyptian female and youth male MSMEs owners, who comprise most informal entrepreneurs in Egypt. Results demonstrate that the factors affecting the intention of formalisation of female and youth male informal entrepreneurs are different. However, for both groups, higher educational levels and SM usage negatively affect their intention of formalisation. The one size fits all policies encouraging formalisation might not work given these differences.

Student’s Right-to-Know (SRK) in teaching includes student’s rights to know about the learning objectives, processes, procedures, university facilities and services, and educational and ethical requirements of the higher education institutes. However, as far as the review of the associated studies, Chinese undergraduate students’ perceptions of the consequences of SRK in teaching and its importance have yet to be well explored. Therefore,this qualitative (phenomenological study) aimed to investigate the Chinese undergraduate ’students’perceptions of the educational, social, and individual consequences recognition of the SRK by the universities in China. The informants (25 undergraduate students) were selected through purposive sampling, and the data were collected through interviews with the informants. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using available, selective, and axial theme analyses. Findings revealed that the recognition of SRK in teaching is accompanied by four main themes: educational, social and political, administrative, and individual consequences, each consisting of several sub-themes. Findings have theoretical and practical implications on consumers of higher education, including university staff, teachers, and students.
