Authors: Dalariva Amorim Milena , Miyuki Sato Daniela , Lourenço da Silva Joice , Ferraz Teston Elen 
Published: January 2022

Introdução: o Serviço de Atenção Domiciliar (SAD), regido pela Portaria n° 825/2016, organiza-se a partir de uma base territorial também denominada região de saúde, e constitui um dos pontos da Rede de Atenção à Saúde (RAS). Contudo, nem todo território possui cobertura das ações oferecidas pelo SAD o que necessita do envolvimento de outros pontos da RAS. Objetivo: descrever como ocorre o cuidado à pacientes que residem em área descoberta pelas equipes do SAD. Material e métodos: pesquisa descritiva-exploratória, qualitativa, realizada com profissionais do SAD de uma capital do centro-oeste brasileiro. Os dados foram coletados nos meses de agosto a outubro de 2019, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e submetidas à análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin. Estudo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética sob parecer n° 3.226.138. Resultados: participaram sete profissionais. Eles referiram que para o acesso e continuidade das ações de cuidado pelos pacientes e suas famílias residentes em regiões descobertas pelo serviço, orientam a busca pelo atendimento nos demais pontos da RAS. O contato telefônico e a visita domiciliar são realizados para reconhecimento do paciente e seu contexto familiar, seguidos pelo acionamento da região de saúde para verificação da disponibilidade de atendimento pelos profissionais do Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família (NASF). A ausência de uma unidade de saúde da família que atenda a área de moradia do paciente foi elencada como dificuldade para o direcionamento e manutenção da assistência. Conclusões: o fluxo dos pacientes residentes fora da área de abrangência do SAD perpassa burocracias relacionadas à organização da rede. Entretanto, constata-se que as equipes deste serviço tentam articular suas ações com vistas ao reconhecimento pela RAS e a consequente oferta de uma assistência integral e contínua às famílias.

Published: January 2022

Introdução: A reflexão acerca dos indicadores epidemiológicos de óbitos de mulheres em idade fértil e óbitos permite a avalialção da cobertura e da qualidade dos serviços de saúde, sendo um indicador sensível referente os aspectos que influenciam na saúde associados à gestação e as suas implicações na saúde da mulher. Objetivo: Descrever as características epidemiológicas dos óbitos de mulheres em idade fértil e óbitos maternos no Mato Grosso do Sul e verificar o cumprimento do 3º objetivo dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal e descritivo, com base em dados secundários do DATASUS-TABNET, referentes ao total de óbitos de mulheres em idade fértil e maternos de 2015 a 2019 no Mato Grosso do Sul. A coleta de dados ocorreu de agosto a setembro de 2021. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva com o uso de medidas de tendência central e dispersão e pelo cálculo da Razão de Mortalidade Materna (RMM), além do teste de associação Qui-quadrado (p <= 0,05). Destaca-se a dispensa do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TCLE). Resultados: O ano de 2015 teve a maior RMM (70,2/100mil nascidos vivos), enquanto a taxa de mortalidade entre mulheres em idade fértil foi maior em 2016 (37,8 óbitos/100 mil habitantes). 2017 foi o ano de menor ocorrência da mortalidade materna (46,9/100mil nascidos vivos) e da mortalidade entre mulheres em idade fértil (30,8 óbitos/100 mil habitantes). Não houve redução das taxas de mortalidade. Verificou-se associação estatisticamente significativa entre escolaridade (p=0,0262), faixa etária (p=0,0038) e cor/raça (p=0,0001) com a ocorrência do óbito materno. Conclusão: A mortalidade entre mulheres em idade fértil e materna mostrou pouca variação na sua ocorrência de 2015 a 2019, e esta última não atingiu a meta de 30 óbitos/ 100 mil nascidos vivos estabelecida para o Brasil pelos ODS.

The Multiple Meanings of the Shona Traditional Performance Theatre (dariro): Unpacking the Concept
Authors: Matiure Perminus 
Published: January 2022

The paper discusses the multiple meanings of the Shona traditional theatre, commonly known as dariro. In this paper, dariro is taken to refer to traditional theatre in which socialization, singing, instrument playing, incantations, dance and other artistic skills are enacted, especially during social or religious events. The data that furnishes this paper was collected from the Shona people using a qualitative ethnographic methodology in which Shona culture bearers from Mashonaland East Province of Zimbabwe were consulted in order to solicit information concerning the nature, aesthetic functions, and dynamics that surround the concept of dariro. The data gathered during the fieldwork indicated that dariro is perceived as a traditional theatre designed to create space for individuals or group performance, especially in dance, poetry, or singing. The traditional theatre was also viewed as the social platform on which the Shona epistemic and ontological philosophy of life, chivanhu is enacted. The findings also indicated that the events that unfold within the confines of dariro, are characterised by timelessness, team work and events that are aesthetic and socially conjugal. Dariro can be created in an open space or under a tree depending on the nature of the context, or can be constructed inside a traditional hut, banya with participants demarcating the boundaries to create the inner chamber in which events are presented. The paper concludes that dariro is pivotal in collectively drawing the participants' attention towards one unity of purpose. As such, it acts as a platform where social, physical, and religious forces converge.
Knowledge and attitudes towards Australian wildlife rescue services
Authors: Barratt Vanessa , Medvecky Fabien 
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT
Australia’s 20,000+ wildlife volunteers rescue and rehabilitate native animals. They respond to hundreds of phone calls and enquiries every day, mostly from members of the public, seeking help and advice about injured, orphaned, nuisance or unusual wildlife sightings. The Black Summer bushfires significantly increased the profile of wildlife rescue services and led to more financial support than the sector has ever received before, though historically the sector has been underfunded and risks being so again.
Wildlife rescue service callers were surveyed and interviewed about their knowledge and views of wildlife rescue.
Users of wildlife rescue services appear to be interested in native animals, highly supportive of wildlife rescue services and willing to contribute to wildlife rescue with time and money. There were notable gaps in their knowledge about wildlife rescue services, such as how much government support occurs and whether wildlife carers are volunteers or employed.
Wildlife rescue services are highly valued by the people that use them. Perhaps paradoxically these users have low awareness of how these services are organised or funded.
The findings of this study suggest that wildlife rescue volunteers could access donations, new members and education opportunities by tapping in to public interest and concern for wildlife.

Authors: Suhail Fahd Ahmed , Al Kamarany Mohammed Amood 
Published: January 2022

Background: The radiological techniques namely chest radiography (chest X-ray) and computerized tomography (CT) scan play a major role not only in the early detection and diagnosis, especially for false negative Real Time-Polymerase Reaction (RT-PCR) tests and in admission criteria, monitoring the clinical course and the disease severity.
Objective: The study aimed to describe the radiological features of chest X-ray and CT scan in coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) patients, Hodeidah, Yemen.
Methodology: A descriptive study (a case series) included 49 patients with COVID-19 , confirmed by RT-PCR who were admitted in isolation department of COVID-19, Center of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases (CTMID), AL Thawara Public Hospital Authority, Hodeidah, Yemen who underwent serial chest X-ray and CT scan, from 1st June to 31st December 2021. The cases reports of patients from 3 to 80 years old. Image features and their distribution were analyzed and the COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS) for level of suspicion of COVID-19 infection was applied.
Results: The results showed that 21 /49 patients (42.86 %) of CO-RAD 4 and 28 /49 patients (57.14 %) of CO-RAD 5. The most patterns were 42/49 patients (85.71 %) of ground glass opacification (GGO), 40/49 patients (81.63%) of bilateral involvement , 41/49 patients (83.67 %) of multi-lobar involvement, 37/49 patients (75,51 %) of peripheral distribution , 15/49 patients (30.61 %) of consolidation pattern and 3/49 patients (6.12%) of crazy paving pattern. On the other hand , in the youngest patients less than 50 year,79 % had GGO, and 21 % had lung consolidations ,while in the patients over 50 year ,GGO were presented in 56 % and consolidations in 44 %. In addition, the lung involvement range of patients was from 40 to 95 % and the median was 60 %. The lung involvement was represented in the patients more than 50 year as 60 – 95 % while in the patients less than 50 years was represented as 40 – 55 %. The lung involvement of death patients was 85 to 95 % of non-chronic diseases and 60 to 70 % of comorbidity and coinfection.
Conclusion: The study concluded that different radiological patterns and features were reported in elderly patients with COVID-19 infection associated with risk factors (comorbidity and coinfection). The radiological techniques have good predictive values on severity and mortality. Also can support the clinicians staff in early detection, early triage, criteria admission, and effective management of COVID-19 infection.
Retinal Detachment Following Cataract Surgery
Authors: Pathak Pranav , Tidake Pravin 
Published: January 2022

Introduction: The most frequently executed operating technique for cataract worldwide is the extraction of cataract. Development of pseudophakic retinal detachment (PPRD) following surgical extraction of cataract forms a major and growing quantity of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) cases. PPRD is one of the severe, vision-related event and hence there is a need to find out the correlation between PPRD and cataract removal surgeries.
Objectives: There is a different risk of developing PPRD with different methods of cataract extraction. Attempts are made to find the consequence of the new cataract surgery on the danger of retinal detachment and additional factors that modify this risk by collectively drawing the findings of clinical trials investigations in this review. Also, the comparison is made among different cataract surgeries for incidence of PPRD development.
Conclusion: PPRD is an uncommon but significant adverse consequence. According to more recent research, phacoemulsification has a comparable or higher success rate in centers that are experienced with the process. While the exact risk of PPRD related to phacoemulsification is becoming apparent, the specific risk of PPRD attributable to phacoemulsification remains unknown.
Limitations: Small population numbers restrict the available literature. The number of PPRDs that occur is minimal due to their rarity; hence just four of our 16 studies had more than 50 PPRDs. Patients with a past history of RRD were commonly omitted from the available research, and several studies had extremely short follow-up periods. Due to the methodological inconsistencies between the numerous studies evaluated there was restricted assessment of the literature, making direct comparisons more difficult.

Published: January 2022

Background: The reason behind the poor outcomes in treating bacterial infections is mainly the limited treatment options. The strains of ESBL are generally resistant to broad-spectrum penicillin, monobactams, and third-generation cephalosporins. Literature is currently highlighting the efficacy of herbs against many resistant organisms. Hence, the study aims to identify the sensitivity pattern and zone of inhibition of Fenugreek seed extract and Nigella sativa Extract against ESBL E. Coli.
Methodology: The calculated sample size was n = 40. The ESBL E. coli growth plate samples were recruited from an associated lab which were identified by performing biochemical tests on appropriate media i.e. Mueller-Hinton agar was used. Agar dilution methods were performed to examine the antibacterial effects of fenugreek seed extract (FGSE) and Nigella sativa seed extract (NGSE) against ESBL E. coli. wells of 8mm diameter were punched in the inoculated plates by using sterile cork borer, 100μl of different concentrations of Fenugreek seed extract (30, 40, 50, 60, and 80mg/ml) and Nigella sativa extract (30, 40, 50, 60, and 80mg/ml) were added to wells and the plates and the plates were incubated for 24 to 48 hours at 37°C. After 48 hours presence or absence of zones of inhibition were investigated.
Results: Total 40 samples were calculated for each concentration of the solution of extracts i.e. FGSE group and NGSE group. The effective concentration of FGSE was found to be 40mg/ml and for NGSE was found to be 60mg/ml that showed maximum. Both the extracts showed inhibition of growth of organism at different concentrations table 2 shows the zone of inhibition.
Conclusion: The Fenugreek seed extract at 40mg/ml and Nigella sativa seed extract at 60mg/ml have highest sensitivity and are effective in inhibiting the growth of ESBL E. coli on growth plates.

Published: January 2022

Healthcare personnel have been put in an unusual scenario from the effect of COVID-19 epidemic, which had increased their psychological and mental health anguish. Anxiety, sadness, and stress among healthcare workers have been the subject of several studies. Increased psychological stress has been shown to have negative consequences for a person's physical health. Psychological pressures may increase the present health problems of the healthcare workers having pre-existing co morbidities. Frontline COVID-19 healthcare personnel are being pushed to their breaking points, leading to suicidal ideation. Furthermore, the stress of a having heavy workload and burnout may present itself in very serious ways in family relationships and a desire to leave their occupations. Future study should focus on the aforementioned negative consequences in order to aid in the development of mental healthcare approaches to manage COVID's psychologic impact on healthcare workers in an outbreak. for care and sustain the psychological well-being of healthcare workers, it is necessary to employ techniques and policies.
The COVID-19 has been shown to have a negative influence on the mental health of healthcare professionals who work in disaster response. A large number of Health workers (PTSS) have been connected to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic stress symptoms. As risk and resilience factors, exposure level, job title, year of experience, social and work support, workplace organization, quarantine, ages, gender, marital status, and copying style were all found to be significant. These characteristics must be considered when developing effective intervention planning for HCWs facing with the current COVID-19 outbreak in order to improve their condition and limit the risk of unfavorable outcomes [1].
The objective of this article is to provide a brief review on the Effect of Covid-19 on mental health of health workers.

Asthma is a chronic condition characterized by wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath due to airway inflammation and hyper-responsiveness. Severe asthma accounts for a considerable amount of asthma-related costs, although being less common than milder asthma. According to a review of US studies, the expenses for people with severe asthma are roughly 1.7- to 5-fold higher than for people with mild asthma. A subspecialized severe asthma services provides the benefit of an organized, variety of approaches to validate the diagnosis, asthma severity and phenotype, and risk factors and comorbidities management. This multimodal approach frequently comprises a team of respiratory physicians, nurses, and support health specialists, such as physiotherapists, speech therapists, nutritionists, and clinical psychologists. In addition to evaluation and monitoring for common comorbidities, they provide physician review, lung function testing, blood tests, inhaler optimization, and general illness awareness. This review aims to overview approach to diagnosis and management of moderate to severe asthma in primary care settings.

Published: January 2022

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common kind of arthritis, affects millions of people throughout the world. This problem occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears away over time. The goal of this study was to draw attention to the link between osteoarthritis and a number of endocrine illnesses in the Saudi population.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional research with the goal of shedding light on the link between osteoarthritis and endocrine problems. The research was conducted in Saudi Arabia at colleges, hospitals, and shopping centers. During the months of June to November 2021, data was collected from patients and the general public.
Results: The study included 743 participants. Among them, there were, 519 females (69.9%) and 224 males (30.1%). The most prevalent age group was 20-30 years (n= 354, 47.6%). Majority of study participants were Saudi (n= 713, 96%) and the rest were non-Saudi. The mean body mass index (BMI) among study participants was 29.47 + 7.53 with median BMI of 30 kg/m2. It was found that 85 participants took anti-inflammatory drugs for more than twice per week during the last three months (11.4%). It is noticed that the prevalence of autoimmune disease among study participants is low. However, female participants were higher in hypothyroid (P= 0.001).
Conclusion: Finally, it appears that weight, rather than IR, explains the relationship between endocrine disease and knee OA. Individuals with arthritic knee pain may benefit from endocrine disease therapy since the accumulation of endocrine disease components is connected to a higher degree of knee discomfort, independent of age, sex, or weight.

Authors: Uppin Rabiya Basari , Alkhaldi Abdullah Maseer , Al-Shammri Tareq Matar , Alnafisah Fahad Ebrahim , Almutairi Nasser Nasser 
Published: January 2022

Background: Vaccine hesitancy is a common phenomenon due to its unknown long term side effects. Data regarding the sam is scanty in the Saudi Arabia region hence the purpose of this study was to assess the safety concerns and reasons for vaccine hesitancy and acceptance among dental health professionals in Saudi Arabia.
Materials and Methods: A total of 138 dental health professionals serving in a Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia were studied using an online-based structured, close-ended, and self-administered questionnaire developed by Paudel et al consisting of three sections: demographics, experiences, and willingness to get the vaccination, and perception of COVID-19, and COVID-19 vaccine safety. It was a cross sectional study where convienence sampling technique was employed. The total perception score was calculated by adding respondents' agreement with a set of eleven items using a Likert-type scale. Non-parametric tests (Mann– Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis) were used for analysis (p<0.05).
Results: A total of18.1% of respondents were diagnosed COVID-19 positive beforethe study. Many (71.7%) considered themselves at increased risk of contracting COVID-19. More than half (55.6%) of the participants believed the increased risk is due to their job type. Nevertheless, a considerable proportion of dental health professionals (89.9%) were willing to be vaccinated. The most common reason for hesitancy was the government approval of the safe and effective vaccine. The nationality, marital status, and type of dental professionals showed a statistically significant difference in vaccine safety perception and effectiveness concerns (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The COVID-19 vaccination is well accepted by dental professionals in the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia. However, vaccine hesitancy is mainly related to the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine and government approval of the vaccine.

Authors: Divyashree J. , Tomar Sapna 
Published: January 2022

Pesticides have played a major role in increasing agricultural output by pest control and eliminating insect driven illnesses. Kerala’s tragedy on endosulfan exposure made us to study pesticides in water, rice, fruits and vegetables from Thiruvananthapuram location. Rice (the main cereal consumed in Kerala), fruits, and vegetables, as well as water samples from wells and streams in the Thiruvananthapuram districts, were collected for analysis of residue levels in major food items consumed by people in Kerala. The research was carried out to measure the concentration of organochlorine, organophosphorus, and synthetic pyrethroid pesticides using gas chromatography. The water and food samples collected were analysed for pesticide residues and the quantities were estimated using GC-ECD/NPD. A standard mixture containing Pesticides (OCs, OPs, Pyrethroids, and carbamates) was run before the actual samples. The detection was used to estimate the residues of fifteen commonly used pesticides, namely organochlorine pesticides (endosulfan, dieldrin, aldrin, lindane, DDT), organophosphorus pesticides (chlorpyrifos, profenophos, quinalphos, dimethoate, phorate) and synthetic pyrethroid pesticides (cypermethrin, fenvalerate, deltamethrin, carbofuran). The study concluded that food exposure to pesticides would result in unacceptable health hazards and awareness of pesticide residues in foodstuffs, as well as to quantify the possible health. Hence, necessary to maintain the survey of pesticide residues in all food commodities in order to safeguard the consumers.
