EVALUATION OF ENDOGENOUS AUDITORY EVOKED POTENTIALS IN CHILDREN WITH SPECIFIC LANGUAGE IMPAIRMENT: A REVIEW
Authors: Prabhu Prashanth , Vastare Guruprasad Mekhala , Vijayan Kavya , Narayanan Swapna , Barman Animesh 
Published: February 2022

IntroductionChildren with specific language impairment (SLI) have poorer language ability and have difficulties understanding complex sentences even though they have no clear sensory, motor, or neurological abnormalities. Nevertheless, they may exhibit auditory processing deficits. Hence the present study was conducted to provide an overview of endogenous auditory evoked potentials in this population, potentials which may help in early identification of subtle auditory processing deficits.Material and MethodsRelevant articles were included from searches of two electronic data sources, Google Scholar and PubMed. Articles on endogenous potentials in children with SLI were included, but studies on exogenous potentials in children with SLI were excluded.ResultsThe results of the review showed contradictory findings in terms of mismatch negativity. Some studies report a statistically significant difference in waveform morphology, latency, and amplitude of mismatch negativity between children with SLI and a control group. This suggests that these children might have auditory processing problems at higher auditory centers. A few other studies find no difference in evoked potentials, pointing to intact auditory processing abilities in children with SLI.ConclusionsThe study helps us understand auditory processing abilities at the level of the higher auditory areas. Endogenous potentials may be included in a battery of tests for identifying children with SLI.

Published: February 2022

IntroductionA sentence identification test was developed by Geetha, Kumar, Manjula, and Pavan (2014) in the Kannada language. The test consists of 25 equivalent sentence lists with 10 sentences each. The present study aimed to assess the clinical utility of this test.Material and methodsAll sentences were presented to 5 groups of adults with 10 individuals in each group. Four groups, each of 10 individuals, had hearing loss: mild, moderate, moderately-severe, or severe. The fifth group had 40 individuals with normal hearing sensitivity. Standardized lists of 25 sentences were presented monaurally at the most comfortable level in a sound-treated double room. The number of correctly identified words was tabulated.ResultsThe mean identification scores decreased with increase in the degree of hearing loss, although the scores were comparable between the normal and mild group. A comparison of scores between each list within each group revealed that there was no significant difference between the lists for the scores obtained from the individuals with mild, moderate, moderately-severe, and severe degrees of hearing loss.ConclusionsThe developed sentence material is sensitive to differences in speech identification ability across different degrees of hearing loss. In addition, the mean number of correctly identified words do not vary across the lists in any of the four groups, suggesting equivalency across the standardized 25 lists in the clinical groups.

Naringenin and morin reduces insulin resistance and endometrial hyperplasia in the rat model of polycystic ovarian syndrome through enhancement of inflammation and autophagic apoptosis
Authors: Yi Yang  , Liu Jiuying , Xu Weiwei 
Published: February 2022

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a gynecologic disorder with unsatisfactory treatment options. Hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance (IR) are two symptoms of PCOS. The majority of PCOS patients (approximately 50% to 70%) have IR and moderate diffuse inflammation of varying degrees. We investigated in-vitro and in-vivo effects of naringenin, morin and their combination on PCOS induced endometrial hyperplasia by interfering with the mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling pathways. The vaginal smear test ensured the regular oestrous cycles in female rats. Serum cytokines (TNF-α & IL-6) were assessed using the ELISA test, followed by in-vivo and in-vitro determination of prominent gene expressions (mTORC1& C2, p62, LC3-II, and Caspase-3 involved in the inflammatory signaling mechanisms through RT-PCR, western bloting, or immunohistochemical analysis. In addition, the viability of naringenin or morin treated cells was determined using flow cytometry analysis. The abnormal oestrous cycle and vaginal keratosis indicated that PCOS was induced successfully. The recovery rate of the oestrous cycle with treatments was increased significantly (P<0.01) when compared to the PCOS model. Narigenin, morin, or a combination of the two drugs substantially decreased serum insulin, TNF-α, IL-6 levels with improved total anti-oxidant capacity and SOD levels (P<0.01). Treatments showed suppression of HEC-1-A cells proliferation with increased apoptosis (P<0.01) by the upregulation of Caspase-3 expression, followed by downregulation of mTORC, mTORC1, and p62 (P<0.01) expressions with improved LC3-II expressions (P<0.05) respectively. The histological findings showed a substantial increase in the thickness of granulose layers with improved corpora lutea and declined the number of cysts. Our findings noticed improved inflammatory and oxidative microenvironment of ovarian tissues in PCOS treated rats involving the autophagic and apoptotic mechanisms demonstrating synergistic in-vitro and in-vivo therapeutic effects of treatments on PCOS-induced endometrial hyperplasia.

Traditionally, access of primary and secondary education has been easier for most people in Malaysia. The challenge has always arisen when it comes to tertiary education. Most people are unable to fund themselves or through their families to continue their studies in higher education institutions. In Malaysia, a key to help the finance tertiary education is by the National Higher Education Fund Corporation. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of the National Higher Education Fund Corporation loan in improving the access to education, more particularly tertiary education. A qualitative study was conducted to find whether the National Higher Education Fund Corporation loan really helps the Malaysian students to solve their financial problem in tertiary education. The study shows that many parents are saying that the National Higher Education Fund Corporation loan is a real help to reduce their financial problem. At the same time there are also parents reject the National Higher Education Fund Corporation loan because they don’t want to burden their children in paying back the loan.
Meaning of Lamongan Batik Motifs (Semiotic Prespective)
Authors: Mulyono  , Wuryaningrum Rusdhianti 
Published: February 2022

This study discusses the ideological meaning of the name and painting of batik motifs in Lamongan, Indonesia. The Lamongan batik motif is a semantic discourse that needs to be analyzed to reveal literally the meaning of the values ​​believed by the Lamongan community. As part of culture, batik is a social semiotics representation of the ideology of society. This research is applied with semiotics study method to reveal ideological meaning. Perspective semiotics provides an idea of ​​the ideological meaning. The results of the analysis show that there are philosophical values ​​based on four categories, namely morals, historical education, spirituality, and tradition. The four categories are based on the descriptions of several figures who put forward the philosophical value of naming the Lamongan batik motif and the philosophy of batik craftsmen in creating names and painting of batik motifs. The philosophical values ​​consist of categories of religious philosophical values, moral values, and social values. The referential meaning that dominates is the referential meaning of nature. Philosophical values ​​that can be identified from the referential meaning of nature (flora and fauna) are moral philosophical values ​​because they are related to human ethics towards nature. Linguistic form, in the morphological aspect, shows linguistic awareness in creating art objects. Ideologically, the batik motif and its name show the awareness of maintaining the relationship between humans, humans with nature, and humans with God.

Does surgical or medical management of extrahepatic portosystemic shunts in dogs carry a better prognosis for the resolution and reduction of neurological dysfunction?
Authors: Smachlo Julia , Gordon-Evans Wanda 
Published: February 2022

PICO question
In dogs with congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts that are treated with surgical attenuation what is the persistency, frequency, severity and outcome of neurological signs when compared to dogs that are treated medically?

Clinical bottom line
Category of research question
Prognosis
The number and type of study designs reviewed
Ten papers were critically reviewed
Strength of evidence
Weak
Outcomes reported
For short-term success, owners reported an overall decrease in neurological signs associated with neurological dysfunction and an increase in quality of life after the initiation of either medical management or surgical management. Surgical management has a weak association with higher mortality or severe neurological signs in the immediate postoperative period
Conclusion
It is challenging to make a direct comparison between medical and surgical management but, overall, both strategies seemed to decrease neurological signs in the short term. There was a lack of evidence and available data about the efficacy of each for long-term control of neurological signs

How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background: Near miss organizational learning is important for perspective and proactive risk management. Although nursing organization is the largest component of the healthcare system and always act as the final safety barrier, there is little research about the current status of near miss organizational learning. Thus, we conducted this research to explore near miss organizational learning in a Chinese nursing organization at first and lay a solid foundation for future improvement.Methods: This is mixed method research with an explanatory sequence. It was conducted in a Chinese nursing organization of a tertiary hospital under the guidance of the 4I Framework of Organizational Learning. The quantitative study explored near miss organizational learning with 600 nurses by random sampling. Then, we applied purposive sampling to recruit 16 nurses across managerial levels from low-, middle- and high-scored nursing units and conducted semi-structured interviews. Descriptive statistics, structured equation modelling and content analysis were applied in the data analysis. The GRAMMS checklist was used to report this study.Results: Only 33% of participants recognized near miss correctly, and 4% of participants always reported near miss. The 4I Framework of Organizational Learning was verified in the surveyed nursing organization (χ2=0.775, P=0.379, RMSEA<0.01), and the current organizational learning behaviour was not conducive to near miss organizational learning due to poor group-level learning (bGG=0.284) and poor learning absorption (bMisalignment= -0.339). In addition, researchers developed 13 codes, 9 categories and 5 themes to deduct the near miss organizational learning, which is characterized by nurses’ unfamiliarity with near miss, preference and the dominance of first-order problem solving behaviour, the suspension of near miss learning since group level and poor absorption of learning.Conclusions: This is pioneering research to investigate near miss organizational learning in nursing organizations under a solid theoretic foundation. The results showed that the performance of near miss organizational learning is unsatisfying even in nursing organization of tertiary hospital; therefore, the situation may be worse in primary hospitals. Thus, more studies should be done to investigate near miss organizational learning and propose useful strategies for improvement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES. To assess the prevalence and impact of cerebrovascular risk factors (CRF) on major cerebrovascular events in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA).METHODS.Analysis of the patients diagnosed with GCA identified in the Spanish Hospital Discharge Database between 2016 and 2018. Admissions due to cerebrovascular events (CVE, composed by stroke and transient ischemic attack) were compared to the admissions due to other causes. The factors related to cerebrovascular events were assessed by a multivariate logistic regression analysis.RESULTS.8,474 hospital admissions from patients diagnosed with GCA were identified. Mean age was 80.8 years and 36.4% were male. 67.2% were hypertense, 27.8% diabetic, 36.7% dyslipidemic, 14.2% smokers and 6.8% presented prior atherosclerosis diagnosis. Overall mortality rate was 6.5%. 3.4% of the admissions were motivated by CVE (stroke in 2.8% and TIA in 0.6%). When compared with the admissions due to other causes, the patients who suffered from CVE presented a higher rate of male sex (36.2 vs 43.5%, p=0.007), hypertension (66.9% vs 74.4%, p=0.004), diabetes (27.6% vs 33.7%, p=0.016) and atherosclerosis (6.6% vs 10.2%, p=0.0.017). After adjustment, male sex (OR= 1.35, 95% CI 1.06-1.72) and mainly hypertension (OR=1.44, 95% CI 1.11-1.90) were associated with a higher risk of CVE.CONCLUSION. Hypertension, along with male sex, was the strongest risk factor for cerebrovascular events in GCA patients. In these high-risk patients, antiplatelet therapy should be re-considered and evaluated in prospective studies.
