Published: March 2022

Introduction:
Right from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, health-care workers (HCWs) have been at the forefront in combating this deadly disease. The sudden emergence of COVID-19 and its continued persistence, has led to an unprecedented psychological stress among HCWs. To assess the level of stress and its effects on sleep quality of HCWs caring for COVID-19 patients, the present study was conducted among staff working in a dedicated COVID hospital.

Methodology:
The cross-sectional study was conducted among HCWs at a dedicated COVID hospital in northern India from September to October 20. To assess the levels of stress and quality of sleep, the participants were administered the Perceived Stress Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

Results:
One hundred and forty-two HCWs out of 162 responded completely. The mean age of the participants was 31.6 ± 6 years. Ninety-one (64.1%) were doctors and the rest 51 (35.1%) were paramedical staff. The mean PSQI global score was 6.9 ± 3.19. More than 50% of participants across all age categories reported moderate-to-high stress and poor sleep quality.

Conclusion:
This study shows that a high proportion of HCWs working in dedicated COVID hospitals suffer from stress and its varied deleterious effect, especially on sleep. Therefore, it is prudent for all stakeholders and decision-makers to take adequate steps for provision of psychological support for stress mitigation and implement measures for prevention and early identification of stress-related symptoms among HCWs working in COVID hospitals.

Authors: Kumar Raj , Das Saubhik , Gupta Praveen , Manjhi Lal Bahadur 
Published: March 2022

Background:
Fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae are quite common injuries and their management remains controversial in the literature. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes of posterior open pedicle screw fixation (OPSF) for the treatment of posttraumatic thoracolumbar and lumbar burst fractures with spinal injury.

Materials and Methods:
This is a prospective study of 24 patients with thoraco-lumbar and lumbar burst fracture treated with OPSF, and each patient was followed up for a minimum period of 1 year. Demographic characteristics, clinical and radiological outcomes, and adverse events were evaluated.

Results:
There were 70.83% male patients and 54.17% patients were in the age group of 21 to 40 years. Road traffic accident (41.67%) was the most common mechanism of injury and L1 was the most commonly fractured vertebra followed by T12. The average operative time was 125.35 min with a mean intraoperative blood loss of 480.82 mL. There was a significant improvement in Sagital Cobb's angle, vertebral body angle, anterior vertebral body height, and visual analog score at 1 year follow-up. The common postoperative complications were superficial infection, bed sore, and urinary tract infection worsening. Implant loosening was seen only in one case.

Conclusions:
Patients with thoraco-lumbar and lumbar burst fractures can be effectively managed with OPSF. It allows earlier mobilization and shorter recovery time and hospital stay and has contributed for better neurological outcome when combined with early aggressive and proper physiotherapy.
Minimally Invasive versus Conventional Fixation of Stable Intertrochanteric Fracture by Dynamic Hip Screw – A Prospective Study Comparing the Two Techniques
Authors: Karmakar Arnab , Das Pinaki , Ghosh Ayon 
Published: March 2022

Background:
Intertrochanteric fractures of femur are one of the most common fractures encountered in the elderly population. Dynamic hip screw (DHS) with a side plate is the standard modality of treatment especially in the case of stable fractures because it creates a controlled collapse at fracture site, leading to union. A comparative study between minimally invasive surgical technique with the conventional surgical technique for the fixation of intertrochanteric fractures with the DHS device was done.

Methods:
Thirty patients with stable intertrochanteric fractures (31A1.1, 31A1.2, and 31A1.3) were treated with the conventional open technique and another thirty with a new minimally invasive technique. Patients in both groups were followed up for at least 9 months.

Results:
There was less preoperative and postoperative blood loss, less soft-tissue destruction, less pain postoperatively, shorter hospital stays, and early mobilization and faster union with the minimally invasive technique.

Conclusion:
The study concludes that minimally invasive technique is superior to conventional (open) DHS in stable fractures.

“Improvised Chase”
Authors: Carney Mary A. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In 2014, a cluster of essays celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the Edith Wharton Review. This bibliographic article provides an overview of significant events, archival findings, major books, and select journal articles published since that issue. While length restrictions prevent the inclusion of all the fine studies from 2014 to 2020, this article outlines trends related to the journal's move to a more prestigious home, the upcoming complete works by a major university press, the remarkable harvest of archival research, the long-awaited rise of digital humanities for our author, and select single-author books and essay collections that have contributed fresh perspectives and a more holistic portrait of Wharton and her writings. Scholars undertake a remarkable range of approaches that include genre, identity, and comparative studies, and considerations of geography and periodization. Wharton is more fully realized as a figure spanning the eras of realism, naturalism, and modernism, holding dialog with her contemporaries across these decades.
“Nay, rather, Lord, between”
Authors: Aylor Emma 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Edith Wharton composed many dramatic monologues in her lifetime, and from the beginning of her poetic output, her personae tend to speak from a point of extremity between the living and the dead—often choosing, in fact, to narrate the moments of their own deaths. From her 1878 book of juvenilia, in a poem called “The Last Token,” Wharton made her interest in this particular placement evident; she herself, as evidenced by her reading and letters, was often strung between religious and secular modes of life, value, and belief. This article examines two of Wharton's “deathbed monologues” in detail: “The Leper's Funeral and Death,” unpublished in Wharton's lifetime, and—primarily—“Margaret of Cortona,” published in 1901. In each, a person speaks not only at the cusp of their bodily death but also from a vantage point past a symbolic death. In dividing and extending these speakers' deaths in this way, Wharton draws attention to the simultaneous fragility and persistence of the human: between and beyond traditional Christian divisions of body and soul.
Studying the role of the choroid and lens in the development of primary anterior chamber angle closure
Authors: Kurysheva N. I. , Sharova G. A. , Belikova E. I. 
Published: March 2022

PURPOSE. To study the role of the choroid and lens in the development of primary anterior chamber angle closure.MATERIAL AND METHODS. The study included 90 patients aged 47 to 80 years (30 with primary angle closure (PAC), 30 with suspected primary angle closure (PACs), and 30 in the control group) who underwent swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). The following parameters were analyzed: subfoveolar choroidal thickness (SFCT), intraocular pressure (IOP), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens vault (LV), iris curvature (ICurv) and iris thickness (IT750), angle opening distance (AOD500, AOD750), and trabecular-iris space area (TISA500, TISA750).RESULTS. SFCT in PAC (341±59 µm) and PACs (340±51 µm) was higher than in the control group (257.0±37.0 µm, p<0.05). In PAC and PACs, the correlations of SFCT with age, AL, LV, ICurv, IT750 were revealed (p<0.05 for each), as well as correlations of LV with age, IOP, ACD, ICurv, IT750, AOD500, AOD750, TISA500, TISA750 were found (p<0.05 for each). The correlation of SFCT with IOP was determined only in PAC (p=-0.476; p=0.008).CONCLUSION. The increase in the choroidal thickness in macula in both PACs and PAC compared with the controls, as well as the correlations of subfoveolar choroidal thickness with lens vault and iris parameters suggest the involvement of the choroid in the pathogenesis of primary angle closure disease (PACD). The correlations of lens vault with IOP, as well as the parameters of anterior chamber and iris indicate the prevailing role of the lens in the development of PACD and the need for its early replacement.
