Early Cinema in Lithuania: The Emergence of a Cultural Tradition
Authors: Paškauskas Juozapas 
Published: November 2022

Summary
Leaning on the notions of transnationalism of cinema or Cinema of Small States, this article sets out to evaluate early cinema in the Northwestern Krai of the late 1800s–early 1900s Russian Empire and the region’s largest city, Vilnius, thematically, rather than chronologically, through the layers of the formation of film culture and the transformation of cinema into an aesthetic object. Such an approach presents a culturally new possibility of finding commonalities, allowing one to see early cinema in the provinces not necessarily as an always-late phenomenon that highlights the provinciality of the provinces, but on the contrary, as part of the overall European film tradition. This is argued from several aspects. Firstly, by showing how the perception of cinema has changed (and how this change coincided with Western trends) from cinema of attractions to narrative cinema; and secondly, by identifying changes in the repertoire of cinemas and in the established preferences of the early cinema audiences.
Sustaining language learner well-being and flourishing: A mixed-methods study exploring advising in language learning and basic psychological need support
Authors: Shelton-Strong Scott J. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe present study takes a self-determination theory perspective (Ryan & Deci, 2017) to explore the connections linking advising in language learning and basic psychological need satisfaction, and ways participation in advising can enhance learner well-being and flourishing. This study addresses a gap in research into advising by focusing on its role as psychological support for the language learner. The study adopts a concurrent triangulation mixed-methods approach to explore the advising experience of 96 Japanese language learners using an adapted version of the basic psychological needs satisfaction and frustration questionnaire (BPNSF; Chen et al., 2015) alongside an interpretative analysis of learner self-reports. The quantitative results show advising perceived as need-supportive, while the qualitative analysis identified examples of autonomous functioning, personal growth, and caring relationships as antecedents of need satisfaction. Together the findings suggest advising has an important role in supporting language learners in ways that underpin flourishing and enhance learner well-being.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Acute mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening disease that can be managed by surgery or endovascular therapy. Endovascular therapy shows great efficacy and good clinical outcomes even in technically demanding interventions, and it can become an alternative to surgery. After the revascularisation of mesenteric arteries, we should take into account the risk of reperfusion injury with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and worse clinical outcomes. We present a case of acute embolic mesenteric ischemia associated with acute left external iliac artery occlusion due to poorly anticoagulated atrial fibrillation, treated by a complex multiple stent-based angioplasty.
Should Patients With COVID-19 Receive Post-Discharge Thromboprophylaxis? Short Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Authors: Pop Călin , Pop Marcel 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 disease) is associated with increased levels of inflammation and hypercoagulability. The risk of thrombosis includes the venous thromboembolic events (VTE), both distal venous thrombosis (DVT) and acute pulmonary embolism (PE) during a hospital stay that is ongoing after discharge, although how long this persists is unknown. The most frequent initial and late thrombotic complication is PE, as part of VTE. The evidence we have suggests quite a similar incidence (≤2%) of post-discharge VTE to that seen in other acutely ill patients. The current guidelines advise against extended thromboprophylaxis for patients who do not have suspected or confirmed VTE or other indications for anticoagulation. However, the guidelines recommend a careful individual risk-benefit assessment of VTE and bleeding probability, to determine whether an individual patient may merit ongoing prophylactic anticoagulation. A score such as IMPROVE DD can help identify those with potential benefit. Low-dose direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and low molecular weight heparins (LMVHs) were predominantly used, but the optimal duration (at least 14 days and up to 42 days) and the type of extended thromboprophylaxis is still under discussion. Future studies are therefore needed to clarify the VTE and bleeding outcomes in COVID-19 patients after hospital discharge.

Authors: Dr Chincholikar Sanjeev Vasantrao  
Published: November 2022

Background: A very substantial lack of manpower trained in psychology, psychiatry, social sciences and related fields has been the real hurdle in expanding the mental health research beyond the mental health hospital and the psychiatric clinics. The research was undertaken with a view to compare the two screening tests for quantifying psychological maladjustments. Objective: To compare the two screening tests personality based hardiness index and self -reporting questionnaire for quantifying psychological maladjustments. Material and methods: It was a cross-sectional study carried out among blind people in blind schools in Maharashtra. All blind people enrolled in the blind schools were the study participants. Data was collected from the students using a validated personality based hardiness index and Self reporting questionnaire, another screening test. Statistical analysis was done using Fishers Exact test, X2 test. Results: It was found that there was statistically highly significant association between the two screening test results. (personality based hardiness index and self reporting questionnaire) When fisher’s exact test of significance was applied to the about data results were statistically highly significant, p=0.00000109 proving that there was high level of agreement between two. This seems to indicate that a non- hardy personality and presence of psychiatric morbidity coexist more frequently. Conclusion: It can be concluded that SRQ + persons may be non- hardy or vice versa as there is a significant negative correlation between hardiness and psychological distress among medical students.

Published: November 2022

Expressed Emotion (EE) of the caregiver is one of the critical factors that contribute relapse of the psychiatric patient during and after treatment. Living with psychiatric patients could result in subjective burden and is usually associated with distress and stigma. Predisposing anxiety of the caregiver influences the recovery process of the mental illness. Less attention has been paid to the antecedent factors that contribute to EE of the family members. The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between EE and anxiety, which in turn help to understand role of caregivers in the intervention process of psychiatric patients. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from 150 caregivers attending outpatient department of psychiatry, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences , Manipur, regarding socio-demographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender, domicile) using socio-demographic performa, followed by Family Attitude Scale and Taylor’s Manifest Anxiety scale form caregivers of different psychiatric patients. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation (SD) and chi square for categorical data were used. ANOVA test was also applied to compare the means of different groups. Results: Among the socio-demographic variables, statistically significant difference (P=0.002) was between monthly family income and EE of caregivers. High significant relationship was also observed between EE and level of anxiety (p=0.000). Among the different psychiatric patients, highest mean score of EE was observed in Substance related disorders (mean=49.44) followed by Psychosis NOS (mean=39.6,and significant relationship was observed between different types of psychiatric illness and level of EE(p=0.002). Insignificant relationship was observed between the duration of illness and EE. Conclusion: An avenue has opened up to understand the role of family as an important resource towards intervention of psychiatric illness as well as the role of significant amount of EE and level of anxiety among caregivers indicates the need for psychosocial support to the family members for the mitigation in the EE and reduction of associated anxiety which in turn could reduce the number of relapse rates and facilitates the caregivers to manage and cope effectively with psychiatric illness.
