The COVID-19 infodemic among young people and adults: The support of critical media literacy
Authors: Sánchez-Reina J.-Roberto , González-Lara Ericka-Fernanda 
Published: June 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has flooded the public sphere with large amounts of information, engendering what some specialists have dubbed the infodemic. Among the mechanisms used to mitigate the effects of the infodemic, critical media literacy has proven a valuable approach. This study aimed to analyze the critical media skills (CMS) of young people and adults in relation to the variables of infodemic awareness (IPA), infodemic and wellbeing (ISW), emotional reaction (ERI), and media trust (MTC). A cross-sectional online study with 404 participants (Mage=32.8) was conducted in two virtual communities in Mexico during the first semester of 2021. Descriptive analysis revealed highly critical media skills in participants. Adults showed high levels of IPA, while young people presented high levels of ISW, ERI, and MTC. Observations by the age group indicated an association between CMS and ISW, and CMS and MCT, while the association between CMS and IPA was null. The COVID-19 outbreak has intensified the consumption of digital media and access to untrustworthy information. Critical media literacy may protect individuals from the risks of infodemic by enhancing critical roles and attitudes toward media discourse. This study supports the recommendation to promote media literacy initiatives that inoculate critical media skills as mechanisms to counteract the misinformation in health crises.
La pandemia por la COVID-19 ha inundado de información poco confiable la esfera pública dando lugar a lo que algunos especialistas llaman la infodemia. Entre los mecanismos utilizados para mitigar los efectos de la infodemia, la alfabetización mediática ha demostrado tener un papel valioso. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las actitudes críticas hacia los medios (ACM) de jóvenes y adultos en relación con la percepción de infodemia (PAI), su influencia en el bienestar socioemocional (BSE), las reacciones emocionales (REI) y la confianza en los medios (CMC). Realizamos un estudio transversal con 404 participantes (M=32,8) en dos comunidades virtuales de México durante el primer semestre de 2021. El análisis descriptivo mostró niveles altos de ACM entre los participantes, mayores niveles de PAI en adultos y mayores niveles de BSE y REI en jóvenes. Las observaciones por grupo de edad revelaron una asociación entre ACM y las variables BSE y CMC, mientras que la asociación entre ACM y PAI fue nula. La pandemia de la COVID-19 ha intensificado el consumo de medios e información no confiable. La alfabetización crítica mediática puede proteger a las personas de los riesgos de la infodemia al mejorar sus competencias y habilidades para informarse. Los resultados de esta investigación respaldan la recomendación de promover iniciativas de alfabetización mediática que favorezcan las actitudes críticas como mecanismos de defensa en crisis sanitarias.
Larger Than Larger: Huge Amounts of Recession-Resection Surgery for Third Nerve Palsy
Authors: Wen Yun , Shen Tao , Yan Jianhua 
Published: June 2022

Purpose:
To describe the characteristics and management outcomes of strabismus surgery in patients with third cranial nerve palsy and identify factors associated with long-term outcomes.

Methods:
A 10-year retrospective study of patients with third cranial nerve palsy who underwent strabismus surgery was performed at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, China, between August 2010 and January 2021. Clinical characteristics and factors associated with long-term outcomes were evaluated. Success of surgery was defined as esotropia of 15 prism diopters (PD) or less at postoperative day 1 (POD1) or any deviation of 10 PD or less at postoperative month 2 (POM2) or later.

Results:

A total of 91 patients were included, with a mean age of 24.02 ± 15.38 years (range: 2 to 64 years). Forty-one patients (45.1%) were diagnosed as having complete palsy. Congenital palsy accounted for 40.7% (n = 37). Mean follow-up time was 2.50 ± 1.78 years (range: 8 months to 8 years). One-step surgery was performed in 78.0% of cases (n = 71), a staging procedure in 7.7% (n = 7), and reoperations in 14.3% (n = 13). Most patients had supra-maximal recession and resection of the horizontal rectus muscle with additional techniques, including horizontal rectus transposition, superior oblique transposition, traction sutures, and fixation of the globe. The mean surgical dosage performed on the horizontal rectus muscle was 18.52 ± 5.69 mm (range: 8 to 35 mm). Success rates at postoperative month 8 (POM8) were 69.0% (49 of 71) in the one-step surgery group, 57.1% (4 of 7) in the staging surgery group, and 46.2% (6 of 13) in the reoperation group. Preoperative horizontal deviation (odds ratio [OR]: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.13,
P
= .011), horizontal deviation at POD1 (OR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.76 to 0.97,
P
= .016), and horizontal deviation at POM2 (OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.18 to 1.98,
P
= .001) were associated with the outcomes at POM8. Patients with partial palsy had a higher success rate than those with complete palsy (76.0% vs 51.2%,
P
= .014).

Conclusions:
Supra-maximal recession and resection with additional techniques yields satisfying surgical results in patients with third nerve palsy when a larger surgical dose is performed for an initial overcorrection for 15 to 25 PD at POD1. The cases with complete palsy showing a larger deviation were prone to failure.

Evaluation of Effect of Hip/Shoulder-Width Ratio on the Sensory Level of Spinal Anesthesia – A Prospective Observational Study
Authors: Shivashankar Archana , Rajappa Geetha Chamanahalli , Sudarshan Shruthi , Madhu M. M. , Rao Ridhi 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Certain anthropometric measurements that are practically obtainable explain the variability in the spread of spinal anesthesia. These are useful for quick assessment of the spread of spinal anesthesia to avoid the risk of high block and also the inadequate level of block.

Aims:
The study aims to evaluate the effect of hip/shoulder-width ratio (HSR) on the sensory level of spinal anesthesia.

Settings and Design:
This prospective observational study was undertaken at a tertiary care hospital.

Statistical Analysis:
Pearson's correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were used to analyze the relationship between study variables with the level of sensory block.

Materials and Methods:
One hundred patients undergoing various surgical procedures were enrolled for the study. With a patient in a sitting position, hip-width was measured between the two iliac crests, shoulder-width was measured between two acromion processes, and vertebral column length was noted by measuring the distance from C7 vertebra to sacral hiatus. 3 mL of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine was administered intrathecally at L3–L4 with 25G Quincke's needle in the lateral position. Assessment of block level was done by loss of cold sensation and loss of pinprick sensation every 5 min till 30 min. The numbers of segments blocked were noted from the S5 segment. The relationship between various factors with the level of sensory block was analyzed by the Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Results:
HSR and body mass index (BMI) have a significant correlation with the sensory level of spinal anaesthesia, HSR (r = 0.297, P < 0.05) and BMI (r =0.385, P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
HSR can help predict the cephalad spread of spinal anesthesia. We can expect a higher level of sensory blockade of spinal anesthesia in females who generally have an HSR more than one.
A Comparative Clinical Study of Methylprednisolone with Ondansetron versus Ramosetron in Preventing Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Undergoing Middle-Ear Surgeries
Authors: Somsundar R. G. , Shivakumar G. , Santhosh M. C. B. , Krishna K. 
Published: June 2022

Background:
One of the most troublesome complications after middle-ear surgeries has been postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). A notable decrease in PONV has been observed with the use of 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 receptor antagonists and glucocorticoids.

Aim:
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of intravenous methylprednisolone and ondansetron with ramosetron alone in preventing PONV in patients undergoing middle-ear surgeries.

Settings and Design:
This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind study that comprised sixty patients in the age group of 18–60 years belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification I or II and undergoing middle-ear surgery.

Materials and Methods:
With the help of computer-generated randomization table, sixty patients in the age group of 18–60 years belonging to ASA physical status classification I or II and undergoing middle-ear surgery were randomly allotted to receive a combination of methylprednisolone 40 mg (given at the beginning of surgery) and ondansetron 4 mg (given near the end of surgery) (Group MO, n = 30) or ramosetron 0.3 mg (near the end of surgery) (Group R, n = 30). In both the groups, the incidence of PONV was studied.

Statistical Analysis:
Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was utilized to analogize the categorical variables. Independent t-test was utilized to analogize the continuous variables.

Results:
In the first 2 h after the surgery, the difference between the two groups regarding the incidence of PONV was insignificant. Between 2 h and 24 h, the incidence of nausea was lowered significantly in the group MO compared to the group R (P = 0.01). Between 24 h and 48 h, the incidence of nausea was more in group R compared to the combination therapy group, which was statistically significant.

Conclusion:
The combination therapy is better than ramosetron alone for the prevention of PONV after middle-ear surgery. Therefore, we advocate a combination of methylprednisolone and ondansetron for prophylaxis for PONV in middle-ear surgeries.

Authors: Su Ying-Chieh , Chao Jui-Pin , Chen Chao-Kun , Lee Han-Hung , Hung Hsin-Ya , Yao Fong 
Published: June 2022

Background:
The separated preoperative computed tomography-guided localization of multiple ipsilateral pulmonary nodules was difficult and with various complications, including pneumothorax and hemothorax. The introduction of image-guided video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (iVATS) which combined intraoperative localization and the following VATS has solved these difficulties. The study examines the feasibility of using the ARTIS pheno system to localize multiple ipsilateral pulmonary nodules and the related complications.

Materials and Methods:
Retrospective analysis of iVATS using the ARTIS pheno dye-based localization for multiple ipsilateral lung nodules at a single institution from June 2018 to July 2021.

Results:
Totally 84 patients with 190 resected nodules were enrolled. 31 (37%) were men and 40 (48%) patients with a history of malignancy. The average localization procedure time was 16 min (interquartile range [IQR]: 13–19 min), and 4 (4.8%) patients developed slight pneumothorax after localization. The overall localization success rate was 99.5%, and one failed due to dye overflow on the lung surface. Among localized nodules, 89 (47%) were ground-glass opacities (GGOs), 97 (51%) were subsolid GGOs, and 4 (2%) were substantive nodules. 139 (73%) nodules were malignant, and 51 (27%) were benign. The average length of hospital stay was 5 days (IQR: 4–8 days).

Conclusion:
The utilization of the ARTIS pheno system is safe and feasible for performing dye localization of multiple ipsilateral pulmonary nodules. Thoracic surgeons can complete multiple needle punctures in a single end-inspiratory apnea period, reducing localization procedure times, and complication risks.
О поведении сумм Биркгофа, порожденных поворотами окружности
Authors: Antonevich Anatolij Borisovich , Kochergin Andrey Vasilyevich , Shukur Ali Abdulhussein 
Published: June 2022

В работе рассмотрены суммы Биркгофа $f(n,x,h)$ для непрерывных функций $f$ с нулевым средним на окружности, порожденные поворотами на углы $2\pi h$, где	число $h$ иррациональное. Основной результат утверждает, что единственным ограничением на скорость роста последовательности $\max_x f(n,x,h) $ при $n \to \infty$ является равномерное стремление к нулю средних Биркгофа $\frac{1}{n}f(n,x,h)$. А именно показано, что для любой последовательности $\sigma_k \to 0$ и для любого иррационального $h$ существует такая функция $f$, что последовательность $\max_x f(n,x,h) $ растет быстрее, чем $n\sigma_n$, а также что для любой функции $f$, не являющейся тригонометрическим многочленом, существуют иррациональные $h$, при которых некоторая подпоследовательность $\max_x f(n_k,x,h)$ растет быстрее, чем соответствующая подпоследовательность $n_k\sigma_{n_k}$.
Даны приложения к исследованию операторов взвешенного сдвига, порожденных иррациональными поворотами, и их резольвент; показано, что резольвента такого оператора может возрастать сколь угодно быстро при приближении к спектру.

Evaluation of Three Clinical Prediction Tools to Predict Mortality in Hospitalized Patients with Lassa Fever
Authors: Chiosi John J. , Schieffelin John S. , Shaffer Jeffrey G. , Grant Donald S. 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT.
Lassa fever is a viral hemorrhagic illness with a case fatality rate for hospitalized patients as high as 69%. Identifying cases before they progress to serious illness can lead to earlier treatment and improved clinical outcomes. Three existing clinical prediction tools were evaluated on their ability to predict the in-hospital mortality in Lassa fever: the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA), the Modified Early Warning System (MEWS), and the Universal Vital Assessment (UVA). This was a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to the dedicated Lassa fever ward of the Kenema Government Hospital in Sierra Leone between May 2013 and December 2019. Data among three serology groups were analyzed: Lassa antigen-positive (Ag+) regardless of IgM status, Lassa Ag- and IgM+, and Lassa Ag- and IgM- cases. There were 123 cases of suspected Lassa fever included in this study. Abnormalities in respiratory rate, oxygenation status, mental status, and serum markers of kidney and liver dysfunction were more likely seen in the Ag+ group, which had an in-hospital mortality of 85.7%. For the Lassa Ag+ group, the sensitivity and positive predictive value of qSOFA ≥ 2 was 70.6% and 92.3%, MEWS ≥ 5 was 96.9% and 86.1%, and UVA ≥ 5 was 60.0% and 100.0%. The MEWS and UVA scores show potential for use in Lassa fever, but there is opportunity for future development of a tool that includes the clinical and laboratory markers specific to Lassa fever.

ABSTRACT.
The SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern (VOC) gamma (P.1) has increased transmissibility and resulted in elevated hospitalization and mortality rates in Brazil. We investigated the clinical course of COVID-19 caused by gamma and non-VOCs at a reference hospital in Brazil in a retrospective cohort study with nonelderly hospitalized patients from two periods, before and after the emergence of gamma. Cohort 1 included patients from both periods whose samples would be eligible for whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Cohort 2 was composed of randomly selected patients from Cohort 1 whose samples were submitted to WGS. A total of 433 patients composed Cohort 1: 259 from the first and 174 from the second period. Baseline characteristics were similar, except for a higher incidence of severe distress respiratory syndrome at admission in patients from the second period. Patients from the second period had significantly higher incidence rates of advanced respiratory support (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 2.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.60–2.59), invasive ventilatory support (aHR: 2.72; 95% CI: 2.05–3.62), and 28-day mortality from the onset of symptoms (aHR: 2.62; 95% CI: 1.46–4.72). A total of 86 (43 gamma and 43 non-gamma) patients composed Cohort 2. Patients with confirmed gamma VOC infections had higher advanced ventilatory support and mortality rates than non–gamma-infected patients. Our study suggests that non-elderly patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in the second period (used as a proxy of gamma infection) had a more severe clinical course. This might have contributed to higher hospitalization and death rates observed in the second wave in Brazil.

Published: June 2022

Subsidized fertilizers are goods under supervision whose procurement and distribution receive subsidies from the Government. Subsidized fertilizers are used to meet the needs of farmer groups and farmers in the agricultural sector which is regulated through the Definitive Plan for Group Needs (RDKK). RDKK is the calculation of the plan for subsidized fertilizer needs prepared by farmer groups based on the use of fertilizers that are higher or less than the recommendation to reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of fertilizer use. Based on the problem formulation, this study aims to explore the distribution channel system for subsidized fertilizers in Cumedak Village, Sumberjambe District, Jember Regency according to the perspective of business ethics. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type in Cumedak Village, Sumberjambe District, Jember Regency. The results of the study show that basically subsidized fertilizers have the potential to improve people's welfare. However, the underlying problem that actually occurs is that the distribution of subsidized fertilizers tends to be lower than the distribution of non-subsidized fertilizers.

The Playwright’s Manifesto
Authors: Sirett Paul 
Published: June 2022

Shortlisted for the STR Theatre Book Prize 2023
A manifesto for the future of playwriting, this book challenges you to be a part of that future in the belief that it is fundamentally important to write plays. Plays help us understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. Reading this book, you will be challenged to learn your craft, explode what you know, prioritise what is important to you, and write in the way that only you can write.
Most books on playwriting explain how to create a believable character in a story driven by plot. This book, however, goes even further in its exploration of the playwright’s most valuable tool: theatricality. By learning from the past, and the present, the playwrights of tomorrow can create new, vivid, theatrical drama for the future.
This manifesto also examines the process of writing, the art of collaboration, and the impact of writing on a playwright’s mental health. It identifies the highs and lows, as well as the trials and tribulations, of life as a playwright in today’s world. Theatre is a living artform. It is time for playwrights to acknowledge that fact and to celebrate the unique, primal thrill that a live theatre experience offers us. The future of playwriting is in your hands. Do you accept the challenge?
Regurgitator’s Unit
Authors: Goold Lachlan , Istvandity Lauren 
Published: June 2022

Regurgitator’s second full-length album, Unit (1997), was produced in a DIY warehouse studio at a time when this was unusual for a major label band. The album went three times Platinum in Australia and won five esteemed ARIA Awards in 1998, including Album of the Year. The album’s success is indicative of a particular point in time in popular music trends, when the world was recovering from the impact of grunge and post-grunge bands.
Regurgitator’s subversive attitude toward pop music, punk aesthetic, unique lyrical narratives and an ironic view on their own creative product made their music potent in an alternative market defying the prevailing music trends. Unit and Regurgitator were the focus of divisive critical reviews, yet they continue to rank highly as a quintessentially Australian band. This volume situates the development of Unit amongst the DIY culture of a politically charged Brisbane scene, and breaks down the album through the lens of recording and songwriting processes. This book outlines the impact of Regurgitator’s music locally and globally, by discussing what made Unit a success at the peak of the alternative music genre.
