Abstract

Background:
Care of COVID-19 patients has been shown to affect the mental health of healthcare personnel (HCP), however, there is little data reflecting psychological health of HCP in India.

Aims:
The present study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of psychological outcomes and its association with various sociodemographic and occupational factors among the HCP in India.

Methodology:
A cross-sectional, online survey, using snowball sampling method was conducted between June 1, 2020, and June 22, 2020. The HCP working in COVID-19 designated hospitals across India were invited to participate. Patient Health Questionnaire-4 and 19-item stress-related questionnaire were used to evaluate symptoms of overall anxiety, depression, COVID-19 infection specific anxiety, exhaustion, and workload.

Results:
In this cross-sectional study with 2334 HCP from 27 states and 7 union territories of India; 17.9% of participants had depression, 18.7% had overall anxiety, 26.5% had exhaustion, 30.3% reported heavy workload, and 25.4% had COVID-19 infection-specific anxiety, respectively. The HCP working in states with higher caseload was a common risk factor for overall anxiety (odds ratio [OR], 1.7; P < 0.001), depression (OR, 1.6; P < 0.001), COVID-19 infection-specific anxiety (OR, 2.5; P < 0.001), exhaustion (OR, 3.1; P < 0.001), and heavy workload (OR, 2.6; P < 0.001). Nurses were more at risk for depression (OR, 2.2; P < 0.001), anxiety specific to COVID-19 infection (OR, 1.3; P = 0.034), and heavy workload (OR, 2.9; P < 0.001); while doctors were more at risk for overall anxiety (OR, 2.0; P = 0.001) and exhaustion (OR, 3.1; P < 0.001).

Conclusions:
Frontline workers, specifically nurses and doctors, and those working in states with high COVID-19 caseload are more at risk for adverse psychological outcomes. The relatively less prevalence compared with other countries, is perhaps a reflection of measures undertaken, including early lockdown, ensuring better all-round preparedness and social norms.

Published: March 2022

Background:
Evidence suggests that one-third of respondents had a significant psychological impact in the lockdown period of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This indicates a need for longitudinal assessment of the psychological needs of the public to plan holistic interventions.

Aim:
To investigate depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS) levels among the general public post-COVID-19 second wave.

Materials and Methods:
A web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among the general public who were aged above 15 years. The data were collected through online mode by providing a link to fill Google Form. The survey tool was disseminated in various messenger groups and social media networks. The survey tool comprises demographics, COVID-19 stressors, and DAS Scale 21 (DASS-21). Multi and Univariate linear regression analysis was used to correlate patient characteristics and COVID-19 stressors with DASS-21 subscales.

Results:
A total of 2515 (males = 1274; females = 1241) people participated in this web-based survey. The mean age of the study respondents was 31.3 ± 13.4 years. The mean scores of depression, anxiety, and stress were 6.8 ± 8.6, 5.0 ± 7.3, and 7.3 ± 8.6, respectively. The majority of the participants are normal in all sub-scales of DASS-21. Very few are experiencing symptoms of severe or extremely severe depression (4.2%, 4.3%), anxiety (3.3%, 6.9%), and stress (3.0%, 2.3%). Geriatrics, females, health-care workers, homemakers/unemployed/retired people, rural residents, and people suffering from co-morbidities have a significant elevation of DAS scores with a P < 0.05.

Conclusion:
Even though most of the respondents are free from the DAS symptoms, few are still (post-COVID-19 second wave) experiencing symptoms of severe or extremely severe DAS subscales. More interview-based and probability sampling future studies are warranted to minimize the biases present in the study.

Authors: Gupta Sunanda , Kumar Rakesh , Kalaivani Mani , Nongkynrih Baridalyne , Kant Shashi , Gupta Sanjeev Kumar 
Published: March 2022

Background:
Progression in age causes gradual loss in height due to degenerative osteoporotic changes in bones and decrease in the disc space. Hence, proxy measures of height are required in elderly persons.

Objective:
The objective of the study is to study the relationship between height and arm-span of elderly persons.

Materials and Methods:
This community-based study was conducted in a rural area of Ballabgarh, Haryana, among elderly persons (age ≥60 years). Four hundred and twenty participants were selected by simple random sampling method. House-to-house visits were made. Height and arm-span were measured. Association between height and arm-span was assessed by Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis. Scatter plot was also made to show the association by age and sex.

Results:
In both sexes and all age groups, arm-span was seen to be more than height. Linear relationship between height and arm-span was observed. There was strong correlation between height and arm-span in both sexes (correlation coefficient = 0.97, P < 0.001 in both sexes).

Conclusion:
Arm-span can be measured as an alternative to height in elderly population. Arm-span can be used as a substitute for height for calculation of body mass index, creatinine height index, basal energy expenditure, and pulmonary function test.
Is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Different in Females as Compared to Males?
Authors: Bothara Rita Vijaykumar , Holay Madhuri Prashant 
Published: March 2022

Background:
Recent years have witnessed a major shift in the sex profile of the chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). In India, while smoking remains a significant risk factor, COPD due to nonsmoking causes (like biomass exposure) accounts for 30%–50% of all COPD cases. There is a lack of studies on characteristics of women with COPD exposed to biomass smoke and the degree to which they differ from COPD in men from the Indian context.

Aim:
The aim was to study clinical profile, risk factors, and severity of COPD in females and compare the same with COPD in males.

Materials and Methods:
100 cases of COPD were divided into two groups – 50 Females and 50 males and were analyzed further for clinical profile and were graded as per the GOLD criteria and BODE index.

Results:
The mean age of presentation in females was 62 years. Biomass smoke exposure was the most common risk factor in females and that in males was smoking. Females had more severe dyspnea as compared to males (P = 0.022). There was a significant statistical difference in the performance of 6-min walk test (P = 0.005) and number of exacerbations in the past year in females (mean 4.5) and males (mean 3.58) (P = 0.034). Majority of female patients belonged to GOLD Groups B and D. Mean BODE index was 4.98 in females and 4.24 in males, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.014).

Conclusion:
There are gender-related differences in COPD risk, progression, and outcomes. Females have more symptoms, more severe obstruction, more number of exacerbations, and more functional disability as compared to males.

ABSTRACT.
The objective of this cohort study was to examine the prevalence of acute respiratory illness among children under 5 years of age and to identify water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and nutritional risk factors. This prospective cohort study was conducted in Walungu Territory, South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and enrolled 512 participants. Spot checks of the household environment were conducted at baseline. Baseline minimum dietary diversity (MDD) was defined by consumption of five or more of the following food groups: 1) breast milk; 2) grains, roots, and tubers; 3) legumes and nuts; 4) dairy products; 5) flesh foods; 6) eggs; 7) vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables; and 8) other fruits and vegetables. Acute respiratory illness was defined as caregiver-reported rapid breathing, difficulty breathing, lower chest wall in-drawing, or coughing in the previous 2 weeks obtained at a 6-month follow-up. A total of 58% of children had acute respiratory illness, 19% had soap present in the household cooking area, and 4% in the defecation area, and 21% of children met MDD. A decreased odds of acute respiratory illness was associated with soap being present in the household cooking area (odds ratio [OR]: 0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.38–0.88) and children with MDD (OR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.38–1.00). These findings highlight the need for interventions targeting hygiene and improved dietary diversity among rural DRC households to reduce the rate of respiratory illnesses in children under 5 years.

En el laboratorio se evaluaron los efectos alelopáticos de extractos acuosos 3.3% m/v de crotalaria [Crotalaria juncea (L.) 'Tropic Sun'], canavalia [Canavalia ensiformis (L.)] y gandul [Cajanus cajan (L.) 'Lázaro'] en siete cultivos agronómicos: maíz (Zea mays 'Mayorbela 2011'), sorgo (Sorghum bicolor), habichuela (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Verano'), soya [Glycine max (L.)], caupí [Vigna unguiculata (L.)], lechuga [Lactuca sativa (L.) 'Nevada'] y gandul. Se encontró una interacción entre cultivos x extracto acuoso en el séptimo día de germinación. Se determinó el efecto alelopátlco contrastando con el tratamiento control el largo del coleóptilo y la radícula en maíz y sorgo y el largo hipocótilo y radícula en habichuela, soya, caupí, lechuga y gandul. El sorgo y la lechuga presentaron inhibición de crecimiento del coleóptilo e hipocótilo (respectivamete) y radícula al tratarse con los tres extractos acuosos, donde el extracto acuoso de canavalia mostró mayores porcentajes de inhibición (66% en lechuga y 49% en sorgo). Por el contrario, en los cultivos de maíz, habichuela y caupí, el extracto acuoso de crotalaria estimuló el crecimiento. De acuerdo a estos resultados se debe experimentar en el campo las asociaciones de leguminosas con cultivos agronómicos para determinar si las interacciones estimulan o inhiben el desarrollo de los cultivos ya que la influencia de los factores ambientales son determinantes en el efecto alelopático.
Simulation on Supplier Side Bidding Strategy at Day-ahead Electricity Market Using Ant Lion Optimizer
Authors: Jain Kavita , Saxena Akash 
Published: March 2022

In this article, Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) is used for supplier side optimal bidding strategy in a day-ahead Electricity Market (EM). Optimal bidding is one of the major challenges of EM after deregulation. Deregulation is nothing but abolishing the market rules and unbundling the vertically integrated utilities. In EM, the main objective of Generating Companies (GenCos) is to bid optimally that maximizes its profit. Thus, for attaining maximum profit every supplier makes a strategy for acquiring the profitable bids. The strategic bidding technique for a GenCo in a day-ahead market for multi-hour selling is developed. The challenge of determining the market clearing pricing, load dispatch, and bid cost under three distinct capacities and price blocks is handled by the algorithm using this procedure. In this model, different probability distribution functions are used to explain rivals bidding behavior: normal, lognormal, gamma, and Weibull. Monte Carlo simulations are also carried out. The ALO is applied to maximize the profit of GenCos. The described method was implemented in MATLAB (2019) and evaluated using a standard test case from the literature. The numerical simulations are also displayed and contrasted. It is worth noting that the offered strategy produces the best profit outcomes.

Hip Fracture Surgery: Regional Anesthesia and Opioid Demand
Authors: Cunningham Daniel J. , Paniagua Ariana , LaRose Micaela , Kim Billy , MacAlpine Elle , Wixted Colleen , Gage Mark J. 
Published: March 2022

Background:
Hip fracture surgery is painful, and regional anesthesia (RA) has been used in an attempt to reduce pain and opioid consumption after surgery. Despite potential analgesic benefits, the effect of RA on inpatient and outpatient opioid demand is not well known. We hypothesized that RA would be associated with decreased inpatient opioid demand and has little effect on outpatient opioid demand in hip fracture surgery.

Methods:
This study retrospectively evaluated all patients of 18 years and older undergoing hip fracture surgery from July 2013 to July 2018 at a single, level I trauma center (n = 1,659). Inpatient opioid consumption in 24-hour increments up to 72-hour postoperative and outpatient opioid prescribing up to 90-day postoperative were recorded in oxycodone 5-mg equivalents (OE's). Adjusted models evaluated the effect of RA on opioid demand after adjusting for other baseline and treatment variables.

Results:
After adjusting for baseline and treatment variables, there were small increases in inpatient opioid consumption in patients with RA (2.6 estimated OE's without RA versus three OE's with RA from 0 to 24 hours postoperatively, 2.1 versus 2.4 from 24 to 48 hours postoperatively, and 1.6 versus 2.2 from 48 to 72 hours postoperatively, all P values for RA <0.001). However, there were no notable differences in outpatient opioid demand.

Discussion:
RA did not decrease inpatient or outpatient opioid demand in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery in this pragmatic study. In fact, there were slight increases in inpatient opioid consumption, although these differences are likely clinically insignificant. These results temper enthusiasm for RA in hip fracture surgery.

Level of Evidence:
Level III, retrospective, therapeutic cohort study.
