Published: May 2022

Background:
Mechanically ventilated patients experience a high level of anxiety due to their therapeutic condition. Anxiety is one of the strongest emotions that patients under mechanical ventilation experience due to their inability to communicate with others. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using a communication board on these patients’ by assessing serum cortisol level and vital signs.

Materials and Methods:
This randomized clinical trial study was conducted in 2020. This study included 60 ventilated patients, who had been randomly assigned into two intervention and control groups. After blood sampling and evaluation of cortisol and physiological parameters, patients in the control group received routine communication by nurses, whereas those in the intervention group received communication using a communication board. Subsequently, the serum cortisol level and physiological parameters were measured again.

Results:
No significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of demographic characteristics. There was a significant difference in blood cortisol levels before and after in the intervention group (t
29 = 15.52, p < 0.001). After the intervention, the intervention group's systolic blood pressure (t
58 = −3.78, p < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (t
58 = −3.79, p < 0.001), and heart rate (t
58 = −2.09, p = 0.041) were significantly lower than the control group.

Conclusions:
Communication through a communication board in mechanically ventilated patients leads to decreased cortisol levels and physiological parameters. It is recommended to do more studies about communication boards’ content and use this tool for more prolonged periods.
Role of insight and self-efficacy in persons with obsessive–Compulsive disorder
Authors: Bhardwaj Nandini , Sharma Prerna , Shekhawat Lokesh S 
Published: May 2022

Objectives:
Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is estimated to be the 10th leading cause of disability in the world with a point prevalence of OCD at 3.3%. The present study was aimed at understanding the role of insight and self-efficacy in OCD and the relationship between these variables with OCD severity.

Materials and Methods:
It was a cross-sectional correlational study. The sample consisted of 100 males and females with a diagnosis of OCD. The variables were measured using the Yale-Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) Symptom Checklist, Y-BOCS II, Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale, and Self-Efficacy Scale.

Results:
The study revealed that a large portion of the patients fell in the “Severe”' range on Y-BOCS. Females reported a higher percentage of contamination and ordering obsessions as compared to males. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of the patients scored “Average” on self-efficacy results. A positive correlation between OCD severity and insight was found.

Conclusion:
Findings have important implications in clinical settings and can be used in the development of more focused, brief intervention strategies based on insight and self-efficacy. The primary limitation of the study was that data were obtained in a tertiary care hospital from an urban setting.
A Comparison of Pre- and Postbreakfast Tooth Brushing in Caries Prevention through the Estimation of Streptococcus mutans Counts

Published: May 2022

Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of prebreakfast tooth brushing (PrBTB) and postbreakfast tooth brushing (PoBTB) with or without a prebrushing rinse in caries prevention through the estimation of Streptococcus mutans count.

Materials and Methods:
Sixty consenting dental students were divided into three age-matched groups of 20 each and instructed to follow prebreakfast, postbreakfast tooth brushing, and prebreakfast rinsing plus PoBTB using the Bass technique. Plaque samples were collected at the start and at the end of every quarter for a total of 6 quarters (18 months) for the evaluation of S. mutans colony-forming unit (CFU) counts. The decayed missing filled surface (DMFS) index of participants was also recorded and compared at the beginning and end of the study period.

Results:
The post-breakfast tooth brushing group with pre-breakfast rinse (RPoBTB) and without pre-breakfast rinse (PoBTB) showed a highly significant reduction in total S. mutans CFU counts per ml (38% and 29% respectively) at the end of the study. The changes in DMFS value were not significant and did not show any correlation with the S. mutans counts.

Conclusion:
Our study revealed that PoBTB with or without a prebreakfast rinse reduces the total counts of the cariogenic bacteria S. mutans more efficiently than PrBTB. Although further proof in the form of clinical trials is essential, this study provides the proof of concept for a minor change in the tooth brushing habit, which can significantly enhance caries prevention.

Background:
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of NAFLD among Saudi patients with T2DM using transient elastography.

Methods:
A total of 490 patients with T2DM who attended diabetes and primary care clinics were recruited. Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurements (LSM) were obtained via FibroScan to assess steatosis and fibrosis.

Results:
Of the examined 490 patients with T2DM, 396 (80.8%) had hepatic steatosis (CAP ≥248 dB/m): 326 (66.5%) had severe steatosis (CAP ≥280 dB/m), while 41 (8.4%) and 29 (5.9%) had mild (CAP ≥248 to <268 dB/m) and moderate steatosis (CAP ≥268 to <280 dB/m), respectively. Of the 396 patients with steatosis, only 35 (8.8%) had LSM ≥7.9 kPa, suggesting the presence of fibrosis, while 361 (91%) had LSM <7.9 kPa, indicating the absence of fibrosis. Increased body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were positively associated with both steatosis and fibrosis. After adjusting for age and gender, data from logistic regression analysis demonstrated BMI, waist circumference, SBP, ALT, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) as significant independent factors for steatosis, while SBP was the only significant predictor associated with fibrosis.

Conclusions:
Our results demonstrate an increase in prevalence of NAFLD in Saudi patients with T2DM, based on transient elastography and CAP score. The risk of NAFLD appears to be higher in T2DM patients with abdominal obesity, elevated SBP, and increased ALT levels, which supports the screening of these conditions in patients with T2DM.

Published: May 2022

In 2020, one of the main causes in Lithuania was circulatory system diseases [1]. One common disorder of the vascular system is varicose veins. There are no exact statistics on the number of patients with varicose veins in Lithuania. Varicose veins are a venous disease that affects about 30 percent of the world's population [2].
This article examines the disease management of nurses with varicose veins in the legs. The study included infection in 10 nurses diagnosed with varicose veins in the legs.
The study identified genetic predisposition, posture, and physical work and overweight as the main risk factors for leg venous varicose veins. All informants use compression therapy, but only a few perform it on a regular basis. Nurses must also be physically active and follow dietary recommendations that use ointments to improve blood circulation in the legs. Due to the absence of pronounced varicose veins in the legs and the discourse caused by preventive measures, the investigator does not apply preventive measures. The reasons for the application of preventive measures are the information provided by specialists and colleagues. Further progression of the disease is a possible reason for the use of preventive measures.

PR ACTIVITIES IN CONFLICT MANAGEMENT
Authors: Мащенко Ирина Владимировна 
Published: May 2022

Автор отмечает, что взаимодействие между людьми носит социальный характер, в связи с чем общественное мнение является неотъемлемой частью жизнедеятельности социума. Кризисы и конфликты также невозможно исключить из жизни современного общества. В связи с этим одной из основных задач PR является управление конфликтами и их дальнейшее урегулирование. У PR нет однозначного понятия, и автор, приводя различные подходы к определению PR, солидаризируется с отдельными исследователями данной проблемы, рассматривающими паблик рилейшнз в качестве инструмента воздействия на общественные процессы. Массовая коммуникация современности в условиях информационного общества в управлении конфликтами использует широкий спектр различных видов, способов, технологий воздействия на сознание и поведение массовой аудитории. Конфликты являются следствием нарушения общепринятых норм, рассогласования ценностей, а следовательно, и компонентов общественного мнения. В этой связи развитие конфликтной ситуации напрямую связано с деятельностью PR: компромисс, локализация конфликта и недопущение его разрастания, или наиболее нежелательная его фаза - катастрофа.
The interaction between people is social in nature. In this connection, public opinion is an integral part of the life of society. Crises and conflicts also cannot be excluded from modern society. In this regard, one of the main tasks of PR is conflict management and their further settlement. PR does not have an unambiguous concept, and the author, citing various approaches to PR definition, associates himself with individual researchers of this problem, who consider the public relations as a tool for influencing social processes. Mass communication in the context of the information society in conflict management uses a wide range of different types, methods, technologies for influencing the consciousness and behavior of a mass audience. Conflicts are the result of a violation of generally accepted norms, a mismatch of values, and therefore components of public opinion. In this regard, the development of the conflict situation is directly related to PR activities: compromise, localization of the conflict and prevention of its growth, or its most undesirable phase - a catastrophe.

Представлены некоторые особенности научной школы, в частности ее открытость, методологический диалог и готовность к сотрудничеству с учеными разных школ и регионов. Автор осуществляет исторический экскурс становления научной школы, которое совпало с пиком научного интереса к идентичности в мире, и освоения научных методов на разных этапах развития коллектива. Отмечая ограниченность исследовательских методов классической и неклассической науки, показывает значимость/эффективность междисциплинарного подхода в исследовании Северо-Кавказского региона как сложной саморазвивающейся системы. Анализируя полученные научные результаты по грантам РФФИ, РГНФ, РНФ и международным проектам, раскрывающие логику развития научной школы, автор показывает возможности разных методов в исследовательской практике ученых и аспирантов, а также их значимость в кавказоведении. Делается вывод о раскрытии эвристических возможностей междисциплинарной методологии и необходимости усиления ее в исследовательской практике; применения принципов конвергенции естественнонаучного и гуманитарного знания/дисциплин/научных коллективов вуза; использования качественных методов в решении эволюционных задач и нелинейном/математическом моделировании региональных феноменов.
The paper deals with the problem of formation, development and methodological orientation of the interdisciplinary scholar school of Adyghe State University. Some features of the scholar school are presented, in particular its openness, methodological dialogue and readiness to cooperate with scientists from different schools and regions. The author carries out a historical tour of the formation of a scholar school, which coincided with the peak of scientific interest in identity in the world, and the development of scientific methods at different stages of the development of the team. Noting the limited research methods of classical and non-classical science, the publication shows the significance/effectiveness of an interdisciplinary approach in the study of the North Caucasus region as a complex self-developing system. Analyzing the scientific results obtained owing to grants from RFFI, RHSF, RNF and international projects, revealing the logic of the development of a scholar school, the possibilities of different methods in the research practice of scientists and graduate students, as well as their significance in Caucasian studies are shown. The research discloses the heuristic possibilities of an interdisciplinary methodology and the need to strengthen it in research practice; application of the principles of convergence of natural science and humanities knowledge/disciplines/scientific teams of the university; the use of qualitative methods in solving evolutionary problems and in nonlinear/mathematical modeling of regional phenomena.
