THE EFFECT OF MINDFULNESS TRAINING ON THE SELF-REGULATION OF SOCIO-MORAL THOUGHTS
Authors: Arahuete Lorena , Pinazo Daniel 
Published: August 2022

<p> </p>
<p>The change in moral attitude due to discrimination of the degree of reality of thought is an unexplored potential effect of mindfulness training. In this article we examine whether the mindfulness training of novices reduces the defensive reaction to normative transgressions when the socio-moral threatened thought is salient. To test the study hypotheses we used a bifactorial design mindfulness training (pre vs. post) x threatened thought salience (low vs high). The dependent variable (punishment of social norm transgression) was measured on two different occasions: 1) pre-training (T1), 2) after training (T2). One group receives training in mindfulness in the threatened thought salience low condition, and a second group receives the same training in the threatened thought salience high condition. The results show that training mindfulness reduces moral punishment with high threatened thought salience, and reduce moral jugdment with low threatened thought salience. Thought of threatened socio-moral norms affects socio-moral reactivity, but does not affect soico-moral judgment. Implications of the results and limitations of the study are also explored.</p>

Background: Placental abruption (PA) contributes almost 30% of the all cases of antepartum hemorrhages. Both mother and fetus are at huge risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality when mother is complicated by this obstetric condition.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study is to find out the incidence and the fetomaternal outcome in the patients of abruption placenta.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive and observational study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, in a tertiary teaching hospital in Kolkata, between January 01, 2018 and July 31, 2019, after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Ethics and Review Committee of R G Kar Medical College (reference number: RKC/Ethics/05). By convenience sampling method, we included 114 cases with gestational age of 28 completed weeks or more and diagnosed to have abruption placenta either clinically and/or ultrasonically. Statistical Package for the Social Science version 20 was used for analysis. Point estimate at 95% confidence interval was calculated along with frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.
Results: The mean age of mothers was 25.19±5.56 years. The incidence of PA was found to be 0.99% (1.18–0.8154 at 95% confidence interval) among deliveries conducted in this hospital. The majority of women 78 (68.42%) were mixed type and 57 (50%) found at 36 weeks or more gestational age. Most common presentations were vaginal bleeding 108 (94.74%) followed by pain abdomen 74 (64.91%). Most women 103 (90.35%) underwent cesarean section. Postpartum hemorrhage occurred in 10.53% and 73.68% cases needed blood transfusion. Fetal outcome included preterm (50%) and neonatal intensive care admission (24.56%), still born 6.14%.
Conclusions: PA is unpredictable and not preventable but morbidity and mortality can be reduced by adequate antenatal care, early detection and monitoring of risk factors, improved nutrition status and multidisciplinary management and timely admission with facilities of neonatal intensive care unit support.

El Servicio Geológico Colombiano cuenta con la única Instalación licenciada para gestionar desechos y fuentes radiactivas en desuso en el país: Instalación Centralizada para la Gestión de Desechos Radiactivos (ICGDR). Entre las prácticas de procesamiento de desechos radiactivos se encuentra el tratamiento previo y el acondicionamiento como preparación para la disposición final; en ocasiones, se reciben unidades de desecho que deben someterse a reducción de volumen y segregación para facilitar que lo que vaya a permanecer en la zona controlada de almacenamiento transitorio de la ICGDR esté constituido exclusivamente por material radiactivo. En la actualidad, dentro de las unidades almacenadas a la espera de su acondicionamiento, se destacan varios colimadores que ocupan alrededor del 15 % de esta área y que contienen en su mayoría material no radiactivo. Con el objetivo de minimizar la ocupación de estos, y debido a la falta de un procedimiento para su procesamiento, se propone elaborar un protocolo para la reducción de volumen de unidades de desecho de este tipo, que incluye una guía para la segregación a través del desensamblaje y retiro de las piezas radiactivas. La identificación experimental de las partes de uranio empobrecido (U-238) fue posible a través de la implementación de técnicas in situ y portátiles: espectrometría de rayos gamma de alta resolución y fluorescencia de rayos X. Gracias a esta metodología, se determinaron las piezas y características del material radiactivo que conformaban el colimador, y representaban un 10 % del volumen de la unidad de desecho inicial, y así proceder a su acondicionamiento y almacenamiento temporal. Por su parte, el armazón restante fue dispuesto fuera de la ICGDR como material aprovechable o residuo peligroso, de acuerdo con las características de peligrosidad de cada parte segregada.

Published: August 2022

Petroleum investment decision remains subject to economic and financial research for decades. Due to capital intensive and higher risk on oil exploration, the investment decision has become more important than ever before. This study aims to shed some light on this issue by conducting four machine learning algorithms to predict the decision applying the dataset from 2007-2019. This study includes the Decision Tree, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine. A comparative performance analysis is the illustrated using confusion matrix, Cohen’s Kappa value, and the accuracy of each model and Area under the ROC Curve. In this study, a machine learning approach was carried out on the oil exploration data. The findings demonstrate that Naïve Bayes has the most accurate performance for the classification (94.5%), followed by Decision Tree (92.9%), Random Forest (90.9%), and Support Vector Machine (89.6%). In practice, the selected Naïve Bayes model was applied to assess the decision using a new data test. The findings can diminish the subjective blindness and confirmation bias in the investment decision and bring about a reasonable and orderly exploration and development of petroleum reserves.

A New Definition for Intracranial Compliance to Evaluate Adult Hydrocephalus After Shunting

Published: August 2022

The clinical application of intracranial compliance (ICC), ∆V/∆P, as one of the most critical indexes for hydrocephalus evaluation was demonstrated previously. We suggest a new definition for the concept of ICC (long-term ICC) where there is a longer amount of elapsed time (up to 18 months after shunting) between the measurement of two values (V1 and V2 or P1 and P2). The head images of 15 adult patients with communicating hydrocephalus were provided with nine sets of imaging in nine stages: prior to shunting, and 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 months after shunting. In addition to measuring CSF volume (CSFV) in each stage, intracranial pressure (ICP) was also calculated using fluid–structure interaction simulation for the noninvasive calculation of ICC. Despite small increases in the brain volume (16.9%), there were considerable decreases in the ICP (70.4%) and CSFV (80.0%) of hydrocephalus patients after 18 months of shunting. The changes in CSFV, brain volume, and ICP values reached a stable condition 12, 15, and 6 months after shunting, respectively. The results showed that the brain tissue needs approximately two months to adapt itself to the fast and significant ICP reduction due to shunting. This may be related to the effect of the “viscous” component of brain tissue. The ICC trend between pre-shunting and the first month of shunting was descending for all patients with a “mean value” of 14.75 ± 0.6 ml/cm H2O. ICC changes in the other stages were oscillatory (nonuniform). Our noninvasive long-term ICC calculations showed a nonmonotonic trend in the CSFV–ICP graph, the lack of a linear relationship between ICC and ICP, and an oscillatory increase in ICC values during shunt treatment. The oscillatory changes in long-term ICC may reflect the clinical variations in hydrocephalus patients after shunting.
Potential Relationship Between Aerosols and Positive Cloud-to-Ground Lightning During the Warm Season in Sichuan, Southwest China

Published: August 2022

This study discussed the influence of aerosols on the relative frequency of positive cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning and its dependence on thermodynamic and cloud-related factors in Sichuan during the warm season from 2005 to 2017. The relative frequency of positive CG lightning is defined as the proportion of positive CG lightning flashes to total CG lightning flashes. Although the total CG lightning density in the Western Sichuan Plateau is significantly lower than that in the Sichuan Basin, the relative frequency of positive CG lightning is higher than that in the basin. Convective available potential energy (CAPE) and vertical wind shear in the low-to-mid level of the troposphere (SHEAR-5 km) are the controlling factors of positive CG lightning frequency. A small CAPE and a large SHEAR-5 km represent weak convection, which is more conducive to the generation of positive CG lightning. The upper main positive charge region in a thriving thunderstorm is higher from the ground, which is not conducive to the transport of positive charge to the ground, so it is not conducive to the generation of positive CG lightning. In the basin, the relationship between aerosols and positive lightning is not significant, which may be due to the strong total CG lightning and the low proportion of positive CG lightning. In the plateau, both sulfate aerosol and black carbon (BC) aerosol have a significant inhibition effect on the positive CG lightning relative frequency. Sulfate aerosol stimulates the ice-phase process through a microphysical effect and promotes the development of convection. The distribution of the main positive charge center is higher, which is not conducive to the transport of positive charge to the ground and the generation of positive CG lightning. The significant heating effect of BC aerosol on the lower troposphere makes the convective development more vigorous and is not conducive to the occurrence of positive CG lightning.

ObjectiveAs monotherapy is insufficient for some patients, the existing fixed-dose combination (FDC) requires two or more daily administrations with declining adherence. The present study compared the efficacy and safety of netarsudil/latanoprost FDC with monotherapy of its individual components in patients with glaucoma.MethodsA systematic literature search was performed for studies comparing netarsudil/latanoprost fixed-dose combination (FDC) vs. monotherapy in patients with glaucoma. The primary endpoints included intraocular pressure (IOP), intraocular pressure reduction percentage (IOPR%) and adverse events (AEs).ResultsThree randomized controlled trial studies (RCTs) involving 1,692 patients (FDC: 556, netarsudil: 577, latanoprost: 559) were included in this meta-analysis. FDC was more effective than netarsudil, with significantly lower diurnal IOP over three time points (8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 4:00 p.m.), mean diurnal IOP (MD = −2.36 [−3.08, −1.63], P &lt; 0.00001) and higher IOPR% (MD = 9.60 [7.86, 11.33], P &lt; 0.00001). When comparing FDC with latanoprost, both mean diurnal IOP (MD = −1.64 [−2.05, −1.23], P &lt; 0.00001) and diurnal IOP across 3 time points were significantly lower with FDC than with latanoprost, while FDC induced significantly higher IOPR% (MD = 6.09 [4.40, 7.77], P &lt; 0.00001). Incidence of total AEs was similar between netarsudil and FDC, but higher with FDC than with latanoprost.ConclusionNetarsudil/latanoprost FDC appears to be superior to netarsudil or latanoprost alone, with better ocular hypotensive effects. However, there are concerns that netarsudil/latanoprost FDC was associated with a significantly higher incidence of AEs specifically compared with latanoprost.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=311956.

BackgroundKey findings from the World Health Organization Expert Meeting on Evaluation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reported that TCMs are beneficial, particularly for mild-to-moderate cases. The efficacy of Jinhua Qinggan granules (JHQG) in COVID-19 patients with mild symptoms has yet to be clearly defined.MethodsWe conducted a phase 2/3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with JHQG in mild, non-hospitalized, laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients. Participants were randomly assigned to receive 5 g/sacket of JHQG or placebo granules orally thrice daily for 10 days. The primary outcomes were the improvement in clinical symptoms and a proportion tested negative on viral polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after treatment. Secondary outcomes were the time to recover from clinical symptoms and changes in white blood cells (WBC) and acute phase reactants (C-reactive protein (CRP) and ferritin) on the 10th day after treatment initiation.ResultsA total of 300 patients were randomly assigned to receive JHQG (150 patients) and placebo (150 patients). Baseline characteristics were similar in the two groups. In the modified intention-to-treat analysis, JHQG showed greater clinical efficacy (82.67%) on the 10th day of the trial compared with the placebo group (10.74%; rate difference: 71.93%; 95% CI 64.09–79.76). The proportion of patients with a negative PCR after treatment was comparable (rate difference: −4.67%; 95% CI −15.76 to 6.42). In contrast, all changes in WBC, ferritin, and CRP levels showed a statistically significant decline in JHQG (P ≤ 0.044) after treatment, but not the latter in placebo (P = 0.077). The median time to recovery of COVID-19-related symptoms including cough, sputum, sore throat, dyspnea, headache, nasal obstruction, fatigue, and myalgia was shorter in the JHQG group compared to the placebo group (P &lt; 0.001 for all). Three patients experienced mild-to-moderate adverse events (AEs) duringthe treatment period in the JHQG group. Findings were similar between the modified intention-to-treat and the per-protocol analysis that included only patients who reported 100% adherence to the assigned regimen.ConclusionBased on the time to recover from the COVID-19-related symptoms and AEs, it is concluded that JHQG is a safe and effective TCM for symptomatic relief of patients with mild COVID-19. A symptomatic improvement in the JHQG group patients was observed and JHQG use would have important public health implications in such patients.Clinical Trial RegistrationThe Trial was prospectively registered on www.clinicaltrials.gov with registration number: NCT04723524.

Published: August 2022

ObjectivesAfter the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic emerged, there has been a substantial decline in emergency department (ED) visits. However, the impact of the pandemic on pediatric ED (PED) visits has not been well discussed. This study aimed to compare the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of PED visits before and after the time of the COVID-19 outbreak.MethodsData of pediatric patients admitted to the PED between February 2019 and January 2021 were retrospectively collected. All patients were divided into two groups: 1 year before the COVID-19 pandemic (group 1) and 1 year after the COVID-19 outbreak (group 2). Basic demographics, clinical characteristics, triage levels, categories of diagnosis at PED, disposition, and hospitalization rates (wards and intensive care units) were further analyzed and compared between the two groups.ResultsDuring the study period, 48,146 pediatric patients were enrolled (30,823 in group 1, and 17,323 in group 2). PED visits represented a 43.8% annual decline. The most common diseases in the PED in group 1 were infectious diseases, whereas digestive system diseases were the most common diseases in group 2 (both P &lt; 0.001). In group 2, shorter PED observational time, longer hospital stay, and higher admission rates were noted compared to those in group 1 (all P &lt; 0.001).ConclusionDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the proportion of respiratory system diseases and infectious diseases sharply decreased in the PED, whereas the proportion of digestive system diseases relatively increased. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the nature of PED visits and we should pay more attention on digestive system diseases and the rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and overall mortality.

Purpose of the reportSince the presence of lymph node metastases upstages the disease and to reduce the morbidity of total lymphadenectomy, sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in ovarian mass has been the focus of extensive research. This study aims to review all the literature associated with ovarian SLN mapping and assess the feasibility of ovarian SLN mapping.Materials and methodsPubMed and Scopus were searched using the following keywords: (Sentinel lymph node) AND (Ovary OR Ovarian) AND (Tumor OR Neoplasm OR Cancer). All studies with information regarding sentinel node biopsy in ovaries were included. Different information including mapping material, injection sites, etc., was extracted from each study. In total, two indices were calculated for included studies: detection rate and false-negative rate. Meta-analysis was conducted using Meta-MUMS software. Pooled detection rate, sensitivity, heterogeneity, and publication bias were evaluated. Quality of the studies was evaluated using the Oxford center for evidence-based medicine checklist.ResultsOverall, the systematic review included 14 studies. Ovarian SLN detection rate can vary depending on the type of tracer, site of injection, etc., which signifies an overall pooled detection rate of 86% [95% CI: 75–93]. The forest plot of detection rate pooling is provided (Cochrane Q-value = 31.57, p = 0.003; I2 = 58.8%). Trim and fill method resulted in trimming of 7 studies, which decreased the pooled detection rate to 79.1% [95% CI: 67.1–87.5]. Overall, pooled sensitivity was 91% [59–100] (Cochrane Q-value = 3.93; p = 0.41; I2 = 0%). The proportion of lymph node positive patients was 0–25% in these studies with overall 14.28%.ConclusionSentinel lymph node mapping in ovarian tumors is feasible and seems to have high sensitivity for detection of lymph node involvement in ovarian malignant tumors. Mapping material, injection site, and previous ovarian surgery were associated with successful mapping. Larger studies are needed to better evaluate the sensitivity of this procedure in ovarian malignancies.
