Published: May 2022

Estudos tem mostrado um aumento nos níveis de estresse e outras psicopatologias em universitários. Porém, a busca por ajuda e a adesão a programas ou serviços de saúde mental nas universidades ainda é menor que a demanda. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os preditores de abandono entre estudantes de graduação, que se propuseram a participar de um programa baseado na Terapia de Aceitação e Compromisso para redução do estresse. Trata-se de um estudo longitudinal retrospectivo. No total, 44 estudantes iniciaram o programa e 21 completaram a intervenção. O índice de abandono nesta amostra foi compatível com estudos anteriores. Foram realizadas análises de regressão logística binária para identificar variáveis potencialmente preditivas de abandono. As análises apontaram como principal fator preditor de desistência a sintomatologia de depressão, que apresentou diferença estatisticamente significativa (p=0,021) na comparação entre os grupos. Assim, considera-se fundamental incluir, nas intervenções em saúde mental para universitários estratégicas específicas para esta sintomatologia, a qual pode influenciar significativamente a não adesão aos programas.

Aim:
To evaluate the protective effect of axillary channel-assisted (ACA) transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach on mental nerve.

Materials and Methods:
From August 2018 to December 2020, 126 cases of thyroid micro-carcinoma patients who underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy were recruited retrospectively. Of those, 74 cases were performed with ACA trans-oral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (ACA_TOETVA) (V and A group), 52 cases received standard TOETVA (V group). On postoperative day 1 (POD1), nylon monofilament test and numbness visual analogue scale score were conducted to evaluate the severity of numbness within the mental area, facial expression was tested to determine the motor function of lower mandible and the thickness of cutaneous and subcutaneous layers was measured with ultrasound. The other observation parameters including the time for operation and intraoperative blood loss were carefully collected.

Results:
On POD1, nylon monofilament test showed that scores in the V and A group (2.9 ± 0.3) were significantly higher than V group (1.7 ± 0.5), P < 0.01, u = 254. The completion percentage of facial expression in the V and A group was 90.5% (67/74) and significantly higher than in V group (21.2%, 11/52), P < 0.01, χ
2 = 62.35. The thickness increment of cutaneous and subcutaneous layer was 2.2 ± 1.2 mm in the V and A group, which was significantly less than in the V group (4.0 ± 1.2 mm), P < 0.01, u = 605. Compared with V group, the operation time (113.4 ± 22.3 min vs. 127.7 ± 25.6 min, u = 1262) and intraoperative blood loss (43.5 ± 13.4 ml vs. 51.0 ± 14.1 ml, u = 1355) were also significantly less in the V and A group.

Conclusions:
The ACA transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy possesses the protective effect on mental nerve and motor function of lower mandible and facilitates the operative procedures of TOETVA.
Subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid droplet can be removed without puncturing the retina
Authors: Sato Tatsuhiko 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFL) is a vision-threatening complication that requires removal as safely as possible. We experienced a surgical case of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, in which a subfoveal PFL droplet was removed through the fovea, without puncturing the retina. In this case, although the retina was completely attached after primary vitrectomy and cataract removal, a subfoveal PFL droplet was found. At the second surgery, after peeling the internal limiting membrane, the droplet was passively aspirated by placing a 25-gauge blunt needle on the surface of the retina. This useful technique avoids puncturing the retina and does not require the patient to maintain a specific position postoperatively.

BACKGROUND: Over recent years, the incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has remained unchanged in Switzerland and is low compared with other European countries. Partial or radical nephrectomy is the mainstay of treatment in patients with localised disease.
METHODS: We conducted an analysis of data from the cancer registry of Eastern Switzerland on patients with surgery for RCC from 2009 to 2018, focusing on a comparison of surgical technique and outcome in tertiary and non-tertiary hospitals.
RESULTS: 492 nephrectomies were performed. Out of 441 curative procedures, 226 were radical and 195 partial nephrectomies (20 unknown). At the tertiary hospital, statistically significantly more partial nephrectomies were performed in non-metastatic patients than at non-tertiary hospitals. We demonstrate a trend towards better disease-free survival after partial compared with radical nephrectomy. The 5-year overall survival for patients diagnosed between 2009 and 2013 was 85%, 83%, and 70% in stage I, II, and III, respectively, compared with 96%, 78%, and 72% for patients diagnosed between 2014 and 2018.
CONCLUSION: RCC incidence in Switzerland has been stable during the past decade in contrast to other European countries, and no stage migration occurred. We demonstrated that patients with localised renal cancer at our tertiary centre were more likely to be treated with renal preserving surgery compared with non-tertiary hospitals. This analysis underlines the importance of local cancer registries in the comparison of treatment and outcome over time.

El objetivo de este estudio es proponer acciones para facilitar la cooperación entre la Universidad – Empresa en el sector agroalimentario de la Región de Coquimbo Chile, de manera de potenciar la generación de procesos de vinculación con el entorno y algunos aspectos internos y externos a los entes involucrados que afectan dichos procesos. Para esto se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas in situ en: oficinas, predios, a representantes de los ámbitos: académicos, empresarial y de gobierno de las tres provincias que componen la región. Se identificó que la mayoría de vínculos entre universidad y entorno nacen como consecuencia de las relaciones interpersonales de los líderes o los miembros de los grupos, las cuales posteriormente servirían para formalizar la vinculación mediante convenios o contratos. Asimismo, se hace evidente que las potenciales capacidades de las universidades son un factor clave, sin embargo estas deben ser orientadas a la solución de problemas y aprovechamiento de oportunidades del sector agroalimentario.
Methods for Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making Based on Picture Fuzzy Dombi Hamy Mean Operator
Authors: Saad Muhammad , Rafiq Ayesha , Perez-Dominguez Luis 
Published: May 2022

In this work, ambiguity and unclarity are coped with the effective tools of picture fuzzy sets (PFSs), especially where the conditions demand simulation of various dimensions for evaluation, for example, decision making. PFS requires operators to measure the coordination of two PFSs. As far as this paper is concerned, we bring new operators to PFSs with an application, validating this as the generalization of the concept of Fuzzy Sets (FSs) and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs). The hybrid structure of PFSs has been incorporated with other operators to develop picture fuzzy Dombi Hamy mean (PFDHM) operator, picture fuzzy weighted Dombi Hamy mean (PFWDHM) operator, picture fuzzy Dombi dual Hamy mean (PFDDHM) operator, and PF weighted Dombi dual Hamy mean (PFWDDHM) operator. Further, the properties such as Idempotency, Monotonicity, Boundedness, and Commutativity related to each proposed operator have been discussed. By using these operators the multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) methods are proposed. Moreover, we have explained the application by providing an example of a car supplier. The results are concluded by selecting the best car on the basis of attributes such as quality, production, service efficiency, and risk factors using operators defined on PFSs. A comparative study is also conducted to study the significance of the developed work.

Published: May 2022

Background. The increasing prevalence of autism has significantly impacted the health care spending of many families worldwide. To date, families from low to middle-income countries are burdened with out-of-pocket spending as their local health care systems have yet to incorporate autism-related services into the health care infrastructure.
Objectives. This study aimed to determine the direct costs of diagnosing and caring for children with autism and analyze its impact on the Filipino family.
Methods. The cross-sectional study consisted of a self-administered questionnaire that looked at parents’ employment status, family income, and the direct costs for consultations, diagnostic tests, therapy, education, and medications. Study participants were parents living with their child diagnosed with autism, ages 2 to 6 years old at the time of the study.
Results. One hundred fifty-eight parents participated in the survey for the cost of care for children with autism. Sixty-seven (42.4%) of parents received government or subsidized medical services for their children's consultation and/ or intervention, while the rest went to private centers or hospitals. The total costs for all evaluations that confirmed the autism diagnosis ranged from ₱1,356 to ₱44,634 and averaged ₱7,411.80 per child. Overall, the mean cost of interventions post-diagnosis, including therapy, education, medications, and developmental evaluations for the first year, was ₱38,868 or ₱3,239 per month (21% percent of the monthly expenditures for a household with an income of ₱15,000/month). The total cost of care per child was closely related to the family’s revenue in the sample population. Families with higher incomes also had higher expenditures for autism-related services.
Conclusion. Autism imposes a significant economic burden on Filipino families, particularly the minimum-wage household earners who spent a higher proportion of their budget (21%) on autism-related services. The wide range of total costs for the care of the children in the study may be explained by the wide variability of the expenses for the services, differences in access to services, socioeconomic status, and the wide variation in needs of children with autism due to the nature of the condition.
Comparison of Ketorolac and Indomethacin for the Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus among Preterm Infants Born at the Philippine General Hospital: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Design
Authors: Villanueva-Uy Maria Esterlita T. , Briones Carmen R. , Ortiz Edgardo M. 
Published: May 2022

Background. Indomethacin has been the gold standard for the closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Still, the availability of the intravenous (IV) form has been a big issue precluding its use in the Philippines. IV ketorolac is another non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is cheaper and more available in our country and used for post-cardiac surgery pain management among neonates.
Objectives. To compare the efficacy of ketorolac versus indomethacin in the closure of patent ductus arteriosus among preterm infants.
Methods. We conducted a randomized controlled, double-blind, crossover design, non-inferiority trial on the use of iindomethacin versus ketorolac among preterm infants with PDA. We enrolled preterm infants at 5-12 days postnatal life, diagnosed with PDA by echocardiography at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH). We excluded infants with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, renal failure, birthweight < 500 grams, septic shock, and lethal anomalies. Patients were randomly allocated between two treatment groups (indomethacin versus ketorolac). The primary outcome measure was PDA closure measured after the treatment course. Adverse events like oliguria and bleeding were recorded.
Results. A total of 27 preterm infants were randomly assigned to the indomethacin (0.2 mg/kg/dose) and ketorolac (0.6 mg/kg/dose) group. Ketorolac has a 60% success rate for PDA closure (9/15) compared to indomethacin 41.67% (5/12) (p=0.154). No renal insufficiency and bleeding diathesis were noted. Five patients died in the study, four in the group initially allocated in ketorolac and one in indomethacin. Causes of death were late-onset sepsis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Conclusion. The success rate of PDA closure between IV ketorolac and IV indomethacin was not significantly different. There was neither oliguria nor bleeding observed in both groups.

Authors: Gusriani  , Wahida  , Nur Indah Noviyanti  , Nurasmi  
Published: May 2022

Anemia of pregnancy is a condition of pregnant women with hemoglobin levels less than 11gr/dl in the first and third trimesters and less than 10.5gr/dl in the second trimester. Hemoglobin (Hb) is a red pigmented protein found in red blood cells. Increasing Hb can be done by using Seaweed, because seaweed contains iron, minerals, B complex vitamins, protein and others. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of seaweed consumption on increasing Hb levels in pregnant women. This research is a Quasy Experiment research with one group pretest-posttest design. Respondents were 10 pregnant women with anemia in Tarakan City, where samples were taken by purposive sampling. The Hb of pregnant women before being given seaweed was the majority 9.21 g/dl, the lowest Hb was 7 g/dl and the highest was 9.8 g/dl. The Hb of pregnant women after being given seaweed was the majority 10 g/dl, the highest Hb was 12.7 g/dl and the lowest was 7 g/dl. The results showed p value <0.0001 (p<0.05) with a change in the mean before being given the intervention from 8.94 g/dl to 10.93 g/dl after being given the intervention. Thus, seaweed is very effective in increasing Hb levels in anemic pregnant women.
